Old muse is awake once again

[valley_cat]

Look, just because Bobby popped up yesterday doesn't mean you can, like, drag me out here too. I was, like, actually enjoying the peace and quiet, you know?

...

No, I am not loud! What's your deal, Mun?

[snikting]

Your mun has a point, half pint.

[valley_cat]

What's that supposed to mean?

[snikting]

Just that keeping quiet ain't exactly been your strong suit.

[valley_cat]

You kidding? I've been great at being quiet!

[...]

Well, I was up until now at least.

[snikting]

Not much of a record if you can't keep it up.

[valley_cat]

Hey, I slipped under the radar for almost a year! I think that's a pretty good record.

[snikting]

It's a start. [The faintest of faint smirks. It's almost like he doesn't completely dislike her.]

[coolest_xman]

I guess I should apologize because this is kinda my fault, right?

[valley_cat]

Naw, don't worry about it. If it's anyone's fault, it's Mun's.

I swear, she's so easily amused. It's, like, not even funny.

[coolest_xman]

Alright, but I still feel a little bad about ruining your peace and quiet.

And it sounds like it. Good luck, I guess.

[valley_cat]

Well, I guess it's sort of worth it if I get to see familiar faces. There's, like, no one I recognize in Mun's head.

Yeah... thanks. I'm going to need all the luck I can get.

[coolest_xman]

If there's every anything I can do to help out, you just let me know.

[valley_cat]

Thanks, Bobby. It's really nice having some friends around to count on.

[chaoticshambles]

If you're not loud, why're you yelling?

[valley_cat]

I wasn't yelling; I was making a point to my mun.

[It's not working very well.]

[chaoticshambles]

Oh.

Well, if you want to make a point, you should try yelling louder.

[valley_cat]

I... don't think that's going to work very well with her. She's, like, so weird.

[chaoticshambles]

You don't know 'till you try, lass!

[valley_cat]

Considering Mun doesn't really react when my headmates yell... I'm going to make an educated and and say she won't do anything. Except try to, like, make things eighty billion times worse.

[copypower]

You mutants are just poppin' out of the woodwork these days, aren't ya?

[valley_cat]

Just a coincidence, that's all.

[And the muns having oddly perfect timing.]

[copypower]

You sure its not someone with some weird mutant-calling powers? Sounds like the sort of thing that would happen to you X-geeks.

[These things happen sometimes.]

[valley_cat]

As if; who would, like, want to even do tha-

Wait a second... how do you know about the X-Men?

[She knows she certainly hasn't mentioned her home team yet.]

[copypower]

You don't remember? Evans and Xavier tried to recruit me but I ditched that scene.

[Really he left because he was worried they didn't want him around because he wasn't a mutant but it was overreacting...and Cal tending to be a jerk too.]

[valley_cat]

...No, I can't say I remember that...

[The only people she remembers "ditching the scene" were Lance, Tabitha, and eventually Evan.]

Are you sure we've met before? Because, like, I'm usually pretty good with faces.
