Field trip!

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

Har har, you won't if you know what's good for you.

[Laurie Collins]

Okay cool! This all sounds good to me and everyone else seems to be in agreement so basically:

Off the museum!
-Josh, Toni, and Jack are taking a group including John, Laurie, Matty, Danny, and Veronica to the museum.
-Hector is there however his handler wants him to be there
-Primer has taken Roger to see the dinosaurs because A) It pays to keep your teenage sociopath happy and B) he's keeping tabs on Laurie. Because he's creepy and knows they can't exactly attack him in public.

Rising action
-At some point or another Hector accidentally animates the museum. We deal with the chaos (helping other groups to safety, defending against over-zealous museum guards, etc.) until we get bored at which point we realize it's Hector causing all the ruckus and everyone zeros in on him which begins...
-A bit of a recruiting deal where each side tries to recruit him or at least get their foot in the door. Primer would love someone with this kind of power after all and Josh especially is probably still stinging from the Terra debacle
-Hector probably doesn't make a decision at the moment and will hang out with both sides for awhile

Rising BAC levels
-Before all the chaos John decides this is shit and takes off. Laurie decides she wants to go too and Matty's not too keen on his girlfriend wandering off to a bar with the resident fire-starter so he comes along.
-The others continue their recruiting/Josh raping/whatever
-John, Matty, and Laurie have drunken fun

Fight, again, some more:
-Unbeknownst to the trio one of the bar’s other patrons has recognized Matty as the son of his arresting officer and decided it’s time for some revenge. When the three ‘stute kids go to leave the bar they’re attacked with mutant powers pitted against superior numbers and the fact that they’re all sort of drunk. The fight gets messy.
-We can end this a few ways:
1) The cops get called and everyone’s hauled off to the police station. No one takes a bunch of drug addicts who beat up teenagers very seriously and Matty’s a cop’s son so they get out of any serious trouble but do have to make a rather embarrassing “hey, um, so I’m in jail…” call home.
2) The chaperones somehow find them and get them out of their mess
3) They win and get themselves back to the Institute
4) They win and meet back up with the bus and try to pretend as if they haven’t been gone. This probably doesn’t work.
5) They lose. No more Matty.
6) Other.

Am I forgetting anything/ anyone have anything else to add?

[Warren Worthington III]

Looks good! Thanks for coordinating, Laurie.

Couple of things:
- Hector will be there with his high-school class on a field trip.
- By popular request, Warren will in fact be on the trip, but will wander off before serious discussions with Hector start up.
- Option 5b: Matty explodes. No more Manhattan.
- More seriously, I love the idea of Matt and Laurie having the "Hello, Mom? I'm in jail!" phone call.

[Toni Craft]

*yawn* So for some terrible reason I had to get up at 6am to catch the bus so that I could get to my art class on time. If I have to consistently get up this early, there had better be some hunky naked guys to draw.

Anyhoo, I'm totally in on this thread! Both Matty and Toni will happily make appearances, and I'm more than willing to make Matty go boom or wonder off to a bar and get sent to the drunk tank. Though I think that most of you would be more receptive to the latter, because we all seem to like Manhattan and would rather it not get turned into a giant radioactive crater.

Please note, however, that I am currently in a condensed summer course at university. This means that there's only 3 weeks of classes, but we still have to do all the same projects that we would have had to do in a normal 13 week semester. Gah. So I'm busy designing an aquarium (srsly, wtf?) until thursday, when the class will be over. Then it's just drawing naked people for me until July! But yes, Toni and Matty will be in the thread, just don't be surprised if they don't make appearances until Friday.

Toodles!

[Bobby Drake]

Humph. When I drew naked people in class in high school, I got in trouble for it.

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

It all sounds good to me, but I feel like I should point out to the illustrious Laurie that the Terra debacle is totally not done yet, and Josh might not end up feeling stung at all.

[Veronica Devereux]

Don't forget about Veronica hitting on Warren if he leaves before the whole Hector problemo. Veri needs her action too ya know~! =]

[Bobby Drake]

Re: hitting on Warren, also

Gee... now Bob feels left out.

[Josh Dalton Worthington]

Don't be surprised if Vero ends up hanging upside down from a chandelier. Josh gets sensitive about Warren's fangirls.
