Waking up hurt.

Waking up hurt for so many reasons that Jonothon spent days, at first, just telling himself not to start listing them off. If he started, he pointed out, he'd just never stop. And then he'd be stuck inside his own head just telling himself all of the reasons that he ought to be miserable.

( After a while, boredom won. )

For He Who Knows Who He Is! furnaceface October 29 2011, 04:35:18 UTC

Because some things probably are more important than pride. At least, they are today.

For years, he had stood aside from mutant business - from the X-Men, for reasons vastly more complicated than Jonothon's, and from the entirety of humanity, for reasons vastly more simple. He had a mission, and it was more important: the little girl that still slept soundly in the home above Wellspring Arms meant more than current world affairs.

But he was Cable, and he never did quite manage to keep from interfering, and he had a whole host of little calendars about a whole lot of little things that might need him to step in some day.

He was Cable, and he didn't wear an X - he wore dusty traveling clothes, a cloak, and a hat, and he was leaning the bulk of his weight into the dusty wall of some abandoned dwelling as he waited.

The hat tipped forward nicely over his eyes.

Jonothon had... kept walking. What else was he supposed to do? The road was less than comfortable under his bare feet, but it wasn't as though he could really do anything about that, considering the wealth of things that he was completely lacking, at the moment.

A change of clothing. A place to stay. A phone, to call for help, should he change his mind about wanting the entire bloody world to just naff off. So he wandered. Wandered until the housing looked decidedly less classy, until uncomfortable gravel gave way to broken glass that he occasionally even bothered to step around. Until the lower-class housing leaned more towards condemned.

That was more his price range, at the moment.

He was barely three steps toward a house with boards in the windows before he noticed the rather large figure leaning up against it. And for a moment, he considered backstepping, thought about just turning and walking away. The moment was brief. He had nowhere to walk to. "You know," he muttered, looking down, "you already missed the party. ( ... )

"I know," Cable said, tipping his head up - along with the hat. Of course he knew. It was one of his better - or more annoying - qualities. "I've been waiting for you. A few years... a few months..."

Time travel. It had a habit of royally screwing up your calendar.

"I hope you gave my love to Slade."

Deadpan, that.

For the Peanut Gallery, should there be one.

Oh, the lips. The LIPS.

Re: OOC! regretiz4suckas October 29 2011, 06:58:51 UTC

POCCY LIPS!

Awwwwwwwww, Jono.

X-Men, you *suck*.

Re: OOC! apocalipped October 29 2011, 07:05:48 UTC

It probably really, really says something when the member of the X-Men that Jono trusts the most is Wolverine.

Re: OOC! regretiz4suckas October 29 2011, 07:09:11 UTC

He was the only one that even looked for him, jeez. I know House of M messed up everyone, but that's just... yeah.

WELCOME BACK, JONO!

Karla has some...plans. Yes.

apocalipped October 29 2011, 23:34:49 UTC

Does it involve someone getting thumped a good one?

glacial_witch October 29 2011, 23:54:57 UTC

It's adorable how you're using the singular form there.

apocalipped October 29 2011, 23:56:10 UTC

So... not just me, then?
