waking up is hard to do

[touchofrogue]

Who: Rogue and anyone else!
Broadcast: Part B, yes
Action: Part A, Vanquish, yes
When: Tonight!

[ Action, Rogue's room on the Vanquish, and later around the ship. ]

[When Rogue woke up, she knew something was wrong. Little things were off about her room and when she tried to raise her head, her arms felt like noodles. What - what happened? Why was she so weak?

If anyone is in her room, she could probably use some help getting out of bed...

Later, she will be walking very slowly down the halls, leaning hard on the wall, in order to get to the kitchen. Has anyone seen her captain? Her co-chef? Her brother?]

[ Video, Broadcast ]

All right, I'm up. I heard all the 'beauty sleep' jokes already, so try a new one. What'd I miss? Fill a gal in.

[She's hoping that this will also serve as a role call. After all, she's pretty sure it'd been over a month, and she knows how people come and go.]

Kitchen. [It had taken some doing, but it was infinitely better than both those places.] Just... sittin' here.

[She really, really didn't want to go back to her bed.]

I'll be there in a few.

[And true to her word it isn't long before she's slipping into the kitchen, Kitty-style, by not opening the door.] I probably should have brought balloons, huh? This feels like a balloon moment. [She's really glad to see you, Rogue.]

[Rogue might be exhausted and in a numbing sort of pain, but her smile isn't tired. It beams, brief and bright and genuine, to see her friend.]

I'll take a raincheck. I'd get up, but apparently lyin' around for two months makes standin' a bit of a chore. [She gestures to the seat by her instead.] C'mon in, make yourself at home.

Yeah, I can see where that could be the case. [A frightening prospect too. Is leaving bodies just to atrophy good ratings? What is this audience into? She takes a seat near Rogue.]

I really wasn't sure if I was going to see you again. [Not after losing Logan to the same thing and Ororo too soon after too little contact and just losing little Kurt suddenly. Does she even know about Kurt yet, she wonders.

It's still the biggest mutant family she's had since home, but it's already taken some major hits since she's been here. Major gains too, but Kitty tends to count the losses in a way that isn't exactly healthy ever since her parents were murdered.]

You look good though.
