[Hello, Barge. There's another new face here, one with green eyes and brown hair with white bangs. She smiles, and it's friendly and warm. The voice is all magnolias and honey.]

Not much in the way of orientation 'round here, is there? S'all right. Ah'm no stranger ta jumpin' in the deep end right off. Sorta reminds me of the first day of school.

Mah name's Rogue. Ah'm here as a Warden. Ah'm still settlin' in, but Ah figure Ah'll take a full look around the place here in a bit, get mah bearin's. If anyone feels like playin' tour guide, Ah wouldn't object either.

Oh please. Independent operator. Neither of us ever did well on teams.

Not countin' this one.

[fearthepackingchips]

Hey, c'mon. I could do it.

[routemistress]

'Course you could. You can do any damn thing you like, my love. Do you want to?

[fearthepackingchips]

I wouldn't say it if I hadn't considered it.

I mean yeah, sure, I always do better in solo runs or team-ups, but you won't know for sure unless you try, right?

[routemistress]

[What she's not going to say, here with Rogue listening, is how it outrages her to think of him being treated as an unwelcome hanger-on; the same way the Doctor treats her. They both deserve better. Not that Iris has ever managed to convince herself of that, all the times when he's been there in front of her; but she knows it for truth all the same.]

Try anything once, eh? But if 'e cuts up funny about it, tell 'im I'll come kick 'is arse.

[Don't worry, Iris; one day he'll find a group that accepts him for who he is. And it will be the best time ever...aside from the whole mess with the Brotherhood but HEY that's how these things go.]

Yeah, yeah. Think it's Frost in charge right now, actually. And she's just kinda hell on wheels. But we'll figure something out.

[routemistress]

We're hell on wheels. Bigger wheels. Just remember that if any of 'em give you lip, eh?

[She loves you. She worries, okay.]

[fearthepackingchips]

Yes ma'am!

[la_belle_rogue]

Actually, Frost's in prison. [ You've missed a lot Wade.]

[fearthepackingchips]

...really? When the heck did that happen?

She seemed so much fun too.

[la_belle_rogue]

Recently. Very long story short. Scott, Emma, Magik, Namor, and Colossus nearly destroyed the planet after takin' in the Phoenix Force.

[fearthepackingchips]

Aww, and I always thought Scott was the boyscout of the group. That's just disappointing. That would be why you don't poke at the Phoenix stuff, boys and girls. Even I know that.

[la_belle_rogue]

It was a huge mess, that's for sure. Scott's gone way off the rails. Not sure if we'll get him back.

[fearthepackingchips]

Lame. Somebody obviously needs to smack him upside the head a few thousand times.

I'll volunteer!

[la_belle_rogue]

If they let ya close enough ta the man, it might help. [She is so disappointed in Scott. She saw it coming a mile away, and WARNED HIM, and he still did it anyway.]

[fearthepackingchips]

Well it's a darn good thing I've got a teleporter, isn't it?
