01. [Action / Voice]

[When Scott had last been aware, he'd been somewhere near the deserts of Mexico. Where in Mexico, he couldn't be sure, though there'd certainly been enough heat and sand to last a lifetime. It simply made no sense to pass out and wake up in a snowpile, more underdressed than he'd been in the summer sun. It's an understatement to call Scott alarmed. He scrambled to his feet, ears straining for the sound of something other than the whistling wind of a cold breeze. It must have been the fight he'd had with Mystique. He'd obviously lost, and she'd had him shipped to a different corner of the globe instead. Is she planning to keep abandoning him in different places until the elements kill him outright? He doubts he'll last long in sub-zero conditions without even a blanket to insulate him.

No. Scott decides instantly that he isn't in the mood to die today. Nothing good comes from pessimism. He'd found people in the bowels of a foreign country before, and he'll just have to do it again here too. Judging by the temperature, there might at least be some Inuit family that might be willing to share their igloo.]

Hello? [He ventures a greeting cautiously, and dares to crack a single eye open to see if there's some sort of civilization nearby. The small gesture alone sends a bright red beacon ripping through the flurrying snow -- hopefully not into anyone's personal property. There seemed to be some manmade structures just off to the left of the snapshot image he'd gotten. It wasn't enough of a visual to notice the journal lying open at his feet, but he isn't really in much of a reading mood anyway.]

I-is... anyone there? [He tries it again, more assertive now despite the telltale shiver in his tone. If there's at least one house, then there has to be people somewhere. With people come options. Maybe they'll have a phone he can use to call the mansion and get help sent out, or perhaps they'd at least have a first-aid kit and would be nice enough to patch up whatever injury was causing that bone-deep pain in his shoulderblades. If nothing else, hopefully the people here speak English.]

[Rogue is in the Item Shop, paging through her journal. Why? Because the day's sorting is done and her Mp3 player is being fixed, and

When that is a voice she wasn't expecting to hear. It's been so long she almost forgot it - but hearing it is an instant reminder.

No, it can't be.]

Scott?

[...How cruel. He must've woken up before the shapeshifter could disappear. Sure, it sounds like Rogue, but there's no reason to expect her out in the tundra.]

I'm not playing any more of your games, Mystique. Try fighting me as yourself for once.

[Mystique.

Well, that's definitely Scott. But why would he think--

Oh.]

Scott - [Scott] - Mystique's not here. I'm talkin' to you through the book. Can you see it?

[Mind. Racing. If this was from That Time, then...

Or maybe she's wrong and the Malnosso left the visor with him somewhere, but... it doesn't hurt to check.]

[She's trying to get to him. She's still trying to weave under his skin, to make him do something he'll regret. It's too windy for him to be able to make out the crunch of snow -- maybe she's not alone. Maybe she's got a hostage.]

You know I can't.

Aww, shi--crap. [Think.]

Scott - reach behind you an' touch your back.

Depends on what you mean by "there". Physically? There's probably nowhere nearby. But good news! You can talk to more people than you ever wanted to through a magical book.

[This is him being helpful. Yep.

He also notices the conversation with Rogue up there. Know her, eh? Don't mind him prying. He does that.]

.. I'm sorry? What book? [Scott's kind of flying blind on this one, no pun intended. He's not above accepting the kindness of English-speaking strangers.]

The one right in front of you? That my voice is coming from? Come on. Use your open eye.

[DOHOHOHOHOHO]

Uh.. Sorry. [Maybe it's local slang for some cellphone stuck on speaker.] I can't see. Keep talking and I'll try to follow the sound.

[Gambit is out and about today. He's not really headed anywhere in particular, but you can only spend so much time in the Battle Dome before you start running out of ideas. Walking is fine too. Plus then he can keep an eye out for incomers and -- what the --

He has just enough time to spot that incoming optic blast to dodge roll out of the way. For a moment, he's bewildered. And then he's just annoyed.

Climbing back to his feet, he runs an irritated hand through his hair and glares in the direction the blast came from. And then he can hear the voice drifting through the trees.

...He's going to have to do something nice, isn't he. Merde. Without moving further, he calls out in the direction of the blast.]

Watch where you're aimin', homme!

[...That voice belongs to one of Magneto's hired thugs. That means nothing good for anyone.]

My bad. I didn't mean to miss.

[Here we go again. Finally start to put the past behind you and then somebody straight out of it walks in. Géniale.

When did this charged card get into his hand. Must be reflexes. That and if there's another blast, he doesn't plan to hold onto it.]

You always greetin' people like this? Or am I jus' that lucky?

[That's a good cajun. Keep talking so Scott can still peg your position.]

I'll greet anyone like this as long as they deserve it. Start explaining what's going on.

[ He's not too sure about the situation, but whoever's talking doesn't sound fine. Might as well be sure, and... ]

Stay still for a moment, sir, you might be experiencing some pains in your back right now, but I assure you that they are not wounds.

Are you injured anywhere else?

[Yes! English! The most glorious language! Scott turns to face the direction the voice is coming from.]

...Yeah. A few places. I can get around -- I just need to get to a phone, please. It's important.

[ He doesn't know about the journal yet? Strange. ]

Yes... There should be a phone nearby - it looks like a journal, but trust me, it can function like a phone as well. In fact, that is what I am using to communicate with you right now.

I can heal your injuries, however - I am a healer. Just tell me what your surroundings look like and I will be there.

[ Welp, too bad you spew out laser beams whenever you look at things, Scott. ]

[Oh, that voice wasn't coming from a person? That's upsetting. He grimaces sheepishly.]

That... Might be kind of a problem. I'm blind. [It's faster than trying to explain.]

Hmm...?

[ buffy looks up from her crossword. bundled up in the safety of her own house, journal open on the arm of the chair so she can eavesdrop away. ]

Hi? Yeah? Someone's here.

[Must be nice to be somewhere warm and cozy. :|
By now, Scott's had others explain the loose bits of what journal's purpose, though he's still not sure why he can't just find a decent landline phone and get back in touch with his friends in new york.]

[Also: Talking into a book is bizarre.] Ah.. Hello. [How do you even introduce yourself properly under these conditions?]

...Not stuck somewhere freezing to death, are you? That'd be inconvenient.

Sort of. ..And it is, but I think there might be someone on their way to give me a hand with it.

Sorry if I'm being rude -- My name is Scott Summers.

I-I think I'll be fine soon. [Once Rogue comes to pick him up, at least.]

[Seems like there's a lot of people watching this network.] Hello -- I'm Scott.

Someone you know from home here? [ That's always good. ]

I'm Jubilee. Welcome to Luceti, I guess.

[WAIT BACK UP.] Jubilee? You're here too?

You sound different over this device.
