I would have made this post earlier...

But we - myself and the Professor, and Doctor Samson as well - were strategizing a little, given how significant a piece of news this is. If you've noticed any staff members looking terribly preoccupied so far today, this is why. The news came in fairly late last night. Before I go on, I want to tell all of you that our doors will be open, if you need to talk about this - and you might.

It's good news, but strange news, is the best way I can think of to put it. Yesterday, Illyana Rasputin had a teleportational accident when she got caught up in a powers interaction in New York. To make a long story short, she wound up in Attilan - which is apparently entirely intact, but has been shifted into some sort of alternate dimension, by itself.

The best part of this news is that Forge, Crystal and Medusa are all alive and well.

It's complicated in that neither we nor they know what caused this to happen, or how to reverse it. But the Professor's sent the news along to the people in authority in various countries who should know, and he and a number of other specialists in mutation are going to be trying to figure out what happened. There are going to be a lot of very smart people working on this, so I want you to all to be hopeful.

What's important is that they're out there.

Strategizing. If I hadn't gotten the call from Wanda . . .

Still. They're alive. This must be this thing I've heard of called "good news."

I'm going to go teach my bird to say 'Pietro is a grouch'. Then I'm going to go think happy thoughts. And sleep. Not necessarily in that order.

[x-ccelerate.livejournal.com]

Potent threat, Dayspring. However will I cope with being mocked by a bird.

It's been a while since I've taken a nice long run. I think I'm going to go do that.

[x-cable.livejournal.com]

Grouch.

[x-ccelerate.livejournal.com]

Can't hear you, running.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

SAY WHAT NOW????!??!?

[x-cannonball.livejournal.com]

Thank god.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

In the Albanian.

~Hooray! This is such wonderful news!!~

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Something we can agree on.

[x-emplate.livejournal.com]

. . . though my immediate response is one of overwhelming relief, I think I need a moment to work through the bit about the extra-dimensional disappearances.

[x-dominion.livejournal.com]

An alternate dimension? So, what, can we get Kurt or Clarice to teleport in and get them?

[xp_daytripper]

Not that easy, I'm afraid. Illyana got there by a fluke - her powers, plus mine, plus Wanda's. She's got no idea which dimension she was in. We're working on it, tho', along with all the boffin types who do this sort of thing for a living.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Miss Paige, can you be making yourself into something I can't hurt? I want very much to hug people.

[x-bamf.livejournal.com]

I only go to one other dimension, and if they were there, few or none of them would be alive.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Why yes I can, little bird, especially since I would very much like to hug you!

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEE!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *deep breath* AAAH!

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

Quickly, we must do the dance of joy in the hallways.

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

I think I was beating you to the dancing, but yes, there must be more. And everyone should be joining in!

[x-firestar.livejournal.com]

This is what happens when I go down to the firehouse for a few hours--I miss the start of the happy dancing! But I'm putting on my good socks--the ones that glow in the dark--and I'm on my way!

[x-penance.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Man, for this I'll even donate the smiley boxers. Which ANGEL YOU STILL HAVE!!!

I am so totally throwing Forge in the lake when he comes back. I don't care if it's JANUARY.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, have you not gotten to the other times people have gone to other dimensions in the records yet? It's pretty f-ed up.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I say we complain to whoever's in charge of this and demand that they quit making extra alternate dimensions. It's too freakin' easy to lose people when there's so damn many.

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

Who pissed off Loki this time?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am going to find a leek and come and hit you with it just for even suggesting that.

[xp_daytripper]

I only wish. That one I can get the address for.

[x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com]

Well, who else has the sheer power to shift an entire country into another plane of reality?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

It was not Loki. I would have known if it was Loki.

[x-ccelerate.livejournal.com]

Any one of the probably millions of mutants you have never met, for all you know. In fact, for all you know Loki can't dimension-slip an entire country; he only took what, ten people or so when he played this game?

But by all means continue to leap to faulty conclusions based on spurious reasoning, it's very entertaining to watch.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Will you please stop agreeing with me and talking sense? We are supposed to not get along. I may be forced to start making up insults or telling you that you have stupid hair just to keep up the animosity.

Thank all the Gods, wherever they may be

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

This has to be about the best news I've heard, well, ever. Thankyou Mr Summers. I think I'm going to have a bit of a happy cry somewhere now. But first, I believe I shall be hugged by a small red spikey girl. *goes to get her coat*

[x-ccelerate.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure at some point it'll be your turn to say something badly thought-out for my entertainment. Then you can go back to comfortably hating me for the nonsense I spew.
