"So who else is freaking about this?

WHO: CHASE AND GERT WHERE: The House of Running. Away. Yes. WHEN: Let's just make things simple and say THIS ISN'T BACKDATED March 12 evening hell yeah. WARNINGS: Possible angst? idefk. SUMMARY...about that. He was kind of glad. But he wouldn't say why. They were safe here, yeah, but it was more than that. So maybe it was time to just talk, just a little. He knocked on Gert's door. "You busy?

Haaaaaaaaardbaaaaall. We gotta talk , man.

WHO: Ed and Chase WHERE: On the way to the hospital WHEN: Right after this log , backdated to Feb. 18 WARNINGS: Bloodloss, cursing SUMMARY: Chase hauls Ed's sorry ass to get medical attention...time he needed groceries, he was fucking well driving to get them.

ATTENTION CITY-ZENS ! Let it be known that the king has returned! No, I'm freakin' serious here, guys, the king. He's back. Don't believe me? Ask him. Heh.

[filtered to X-Force, Runaways, Young Avengers, Kitty, St. John, Abby, Terry, Jaime] So we've got this new guy threatening people. Mutants. Especially a couple of us, who he thinks he can bully into... Consider me your token adult, if it makes you feel any better, for whatever reason. But we need to figure this out. A buddy system, something, I don't care what. We need to keep each other safe

WHO: Chase and Shatterstar. WHERE: North of the docks. WHEN: Mid-evening, January 20. WARNINGS: Possible violence and setting things on fire? SUMMARY: Shatterstar needs to blow off some steam...out on the run. So he was kind of curious about how all of this was supposed to work. As he came up to the place Star had described to him, he looked around cautiously. "Yo, Star? You around here?

Okay, so I officially have a job! Delivery boy for a pizza joint. Which works, I guess. The guy was like, "Maybe you can be a manager or sub-manager in the future." Fine, but when do I get paid? At least I get to drive. Ling, I got your dictionary thing half written up. Ed, how're things? People are kinda falling off the face of the earth, it's creeping me out.
