Guess I'm boycotting sleeping.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Yeah. We are. We grew up a lot out in space and are both so much more confident. Sure, Alex has his moments when he goes all Summers and I have to rein him back… but he listens to me. And not in a “appease the woman!” way, but because we’re partners and we trust one another. 

And you?

[diableblanc-blog]

Rogue’n I? We got our tension, but we love one anot’a. Ain’ nobody’s devoted t’me like her, an’ no one devoted t’her like I am. We perfect in all our imperfection, y’know? But she… knows me.

I’m so, so very happy.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

I'd be wary of all this bliss if we hadn't just gotten a major stormcloud on our horizon.

Guess I'm boycotting sleeping.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Other than this whole…horsemen… thing?

Not much. Alex and I are at X-Factor, and he and Jamie keep busy arguing. 

[diableblanc-blog]

Are you… Happy?

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Yeah. We are. We grew up a lot out in space and are both so much more confident. Sure, Alex has his moments when he goes all Summers and I have to rein him back... but he listens to me. And not in a "appease the woman!" way, but because we're partners and we trust one another.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Is this a common symptom, then? Yeah. I can’t sleep or it’s like watching a horror movie.

[diableblanc-blog]

Seems t’be.

Coffee?

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Please.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Guess I'm boycotting sleeping.

No other way to get away from bad dreams.

itsnotchlorine replied to your post:*runs in without knocking* WHY did I just hear Rogue talking on the phone - about me - to SCOTT?

So you /don’t/ know what’s going on?

Not entirely.

Lorna, why did you arrive in the middle of the night, and why was it so urgent you speak to Gambit?

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

It wasn’t the middle of the night, it was just late.

And it was… important. *sighs* I don’t want you to worry, but… I’ve been having dreams.

[ominousattraction-blog]

Should I be worried?

Explain, Lorna.  I’m listening.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

*rubs her forehead*

I thought it was gone. Pestilence. Apocalypse. I got rid of it. But now I'm having dreams and I'm so confused and -

He's calling me.

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

I don't want to sleep tonight.

[essexfactor]

itsnotchlorine started following you

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

Shut up. Shut up. Go away.

[essexfactor]

Tell me, my dear child, what haunts you in your sleep?

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

I don’t know…

I mean, we’re not having this conversation.

[essexfactor]

You do not know? Does it keep you awake, or is it when you are awake, my dear child?

[itsnotchlorine-blog]

I don't - 

I can't think. I don't know.
