[VIDEO]
[Kitty is still in her bedroom where she's been for the past two months when the video opens.]

If the timestamps I'm seeing are right then I'm surprised I don't have a long beard by now. That's a Rip Van Winkle joke for any of the non-earthlings who think maybe I can grow a beard.

So, I'm Kitty Pryde for anyone who just showed up. Just so you know I still have seniority over you. I could take your lunch money any time I want. And hi. Any new mutants? Maybe some Avengers who should be mutants, but they aren't because timelines are funny that way? [Wanda and Pietro were strange, okay?]

I haven't flipped through much of the network yet. Feel free to do a roll call. Let me know you're here—new, old, returned, twice baked, whatever. Did I miss anything fun? Maybe some birthdays? Oh, right, like mine. [She picks up some pretty and unusual stones and nudges an illustrated physics book. She speaks softer.] Maybe someone remembered.

[Scrolling through some old network posts and her eyes widen slightly.] Maybe I missed something not so fun...

[ACTION : TWIN ROSES]
[Her body feels lethargic and uninterested in all this moving she wants to do. But she's been out of commission and she feels the need to catch up. So she'll be looking for crewmates and visitors.]

[you don't need to tell him about time being weird, he has 100% been there friend]

Well... he didn't help. [HE IS SO... RELUCTANT...] It's a long story.

[passingthrough]

[Yay, time weirdness friend!]

You don't want to share your deepest, darkest, most intimate thoughts with me ten minutes in? I might be losing my touch.

On the plus side, you get a clean slate with me if I've got one with you.

[selfhelp]

I wouldn't even call it the deepest or the darkest. But it really does get long.

[it took two years to get nine issues published after all]

I'm okay with a clean slate if you are though.

[passingthrough]

If it's that long we should probably wait until we're somewhere with pie or something we can eat while you tell it and act out the dramatic parts.

Clean slates are good with me. I hand them out pretty frequently in these places. Though I think I started with threatening to throw Hank out an airlock when he arrived.

[selfhelp]

[honestly the whole kerfuffle is probably a bit easier to talk about with Cassie back, but still... hrngh. We'll see. He's glad she can let it go for now.]

Hank... McCoy? Poor guy. Kate said he was captain, actually- maybe it was stress?

[he's guessing not.]

[passingthrough]

You wouldn't call him a poor guy if you knew the one from back home. But yeah, this one was nothing like that. He didn't do anything wrong.

[selfhelp]

...Yeah, you know what? I'm not even gonna ask. Your world sounds way too topsy-turvy for me, no offense.

[passingthrough]

I'd say it all seemed straight up to me, but it kind of sucked even if it was all I knew.

So, how are things going for you here so far?

[selfhelp]

It's alright. Still too new to have huge complaints, besides like... missing everyone and everything I've ever known.

[kinda a big one there.]

[passingthrough]

Yeah, that part's not so great. [Her expression softens. It's been awhile since she did the sudden transfer, but she missed her team when she went to Marina and when she came to the fleet she missed the people from Marina.] Seems like you should at least have a say in whether you want to uproot your entire life. At least there's Kate?

[selfhelp]

Oh man, believe me, having Kate here is huge. I can't even tell you what kind of walking disaster I'd be without her.

[he's a bit of a walking disaster regardless, but she grounds him like almost no one else.]

[passingthrough]

Well, you aren't alone even without her. [Is she protective of mutants she doesn't have to fight to the death because they are slaughtering humans? Yes, she is.] And I'm pretty good with disasters. I've definitely been one.
