Moonstar has posed:
    It's late at night, and Danielle is unable to really sleep at all, with the mission to Mojoworld coming up soon. Sure, she knows she should, but right now she just can't.

    So, she sits in the kitchen, a half-dozen deviled eggs in front of her, along with a can of ginger ale that she's been working on slowly, trying to wind herself down so she can actually get rest before the Big Show.

Beast has posed:
Hank lopes into the kitchen wearing a lab coat and khaki shorts (and nothing else), yawning like.. well.. yawning like a cat (whith a good dose of gorilla genes thrown in) as he trundles up to the keurig and searches for a pod to jam in it... And only notices /after/ he presses the button to start filling his novelt sized Coookie Monster mug that he is not alone. The blue furry scientist sniffs and looks over his shoudler and spots Dani at the table.

"I would have expected yout o be asleep, Danielle." he tells her as he reaches up and grabs the sugar disoenser, and a box of twinkies, from the cupboard. he fully turns to her and his eyes weiden. "Are you making....?"

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabitha pads into the kitchen a little after Hank. Luckily, she hadn't noticed thr teacher or she probably wouldn't have gone in. She's dressed just in a pair of athletic shorts and a pink camisole, her feet bare.

    "Oh. Hiya." she says, noticing the others. "Uh... hey!" and she realizes Dani is eating deviled eggs. "You." she says, marching up to the other girl. "You owe me a batch of those, missy. Or did you forget _already_?"

Moonstar has posed:
    Dani laughs softly, "Made, Dr. McCoy, and yes, have some. I couldn't eat all of these, no matter how worried I may be." She winks at Tabitha, "I didn't forget, but when we make it back, I'll make sure to do a batch just for you." She's wearing a rather modest set of scarlet pajamas, though her feet are covered with white bunny slippers. "Just couldn't sleep with... well, everything about to happen."

Beast has posed:
Hank is not one to judge on modesty, with either too much or not enough to choose from. He dresses up 'normally' during class because it's 'appropriate' but the rest of the time.. Well it's not that he's immodest but just that he doesn't think in those terms a lot. Atavistic mutations tend to color the thought processes, after all. So he doesn't comment on either girl's wardrobe.

"Ahh, Good evening Tabitha.. You know, both of you should be in bed... but I guess it's understandable so I will not make any qualms about it.. especially if I am bribed.." he says, looking meaningful at the eggs. Then he sighs, grabbing the coffee cup and filling it halfway with sugar... "Yes.. things happening.." he says..rather quietly.

Boom-Boom has posed:
"Thanks, Doctor McCoy." Tabitha says, sweetly. She must be tired. "Yeah." she says to Dani. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep either. I had to finish a paper anyway. Stupid classes don't end jus' 'cause I'm goin' on a mission." She looks around the kitchen. "I thought I'd come down and see if there was somethin' I could leave on my pillow, a snack or somethin'... in case Lexi goes in there while we're gone."

Moonstar has posed:
    Dani hrms, "Well, definitely sticking our heads into the lion's mouth on this one." She looks over at Tabitha, "Glad to know it wasn't just me that couldn't sleep." With that, she slides the deviled egg tray over towards Hank, offering him some if he wanted to take them. "Oh, Doctor McCoy, I was talking with Tatum the other day, and she mentioned you two were still having trouble finding a house... so I suggested maybe you should just find a plot of land and build your /own/ house. To your specifications."

Beast has posed:
Hank raises a brow at Tabitha and her.. non-Tabitha-ish greeting... then looks into his coffee a moment before he realizes he hasn't taken a sip yet so it /can't/ be poison that made him hallucinate a /nice/ response out of the teenager.

Sighing, he jumps up on the back of one of the chairs at the table and perches (how does he dp that?!?) and looks between the box of twinkies and the eggs.. and looks torn.. Sighing he sets the twinkies on teh table and picks up a single egg with clawed fingers and sniffs it.. and mmmmms. "Thank you, Danielle This smells delectable.." he comments then gulps it down in one bit.... looking like the cat who got the mouse.. then coughs once.. He thumps his chest with his free hand and looks at her. "Build... a house?" he asks slowly... like it is an alien concept..

Boom-Boom has posed:
    "Sure." Tabby agrees. "We could all help. It'd save you some labor. Like Stevie Nicks could teleport in all the building supplies and Colossus could drag around the drywall and Warhead could sit around and bitch. Yeah, everyone could pitch in."

Moonstar has posed:
    Dani chuckles, "Lots of people in Colorado did it, and that way you could make sure that you have everything you want in the house. All the rooms you need, how the space works out..." She grins, "Tatum thought it was a pretty good idea. And Tabby's right, we could all pitch in to help you with it."

Beast has posed:
Hank says, "is silent for a moment.. chewing thoughtfully... then he swallows and looks between the two girls.. no.. young women. "You know.. I never thought about that.." he says, looking embarrased.. then maybe guilty? He looks down at the eggs, but not really /at/ the eggs, you know?

"I always thought.. well.. That you meet someone.. you get together.. you /live/ together... You /buy/ a house. It's just the way it was supposed to be done.. The 'process', you understand." he sips his coffee slowly.. then lowers it. "But.. I guess one does not have to do it the 'usual' way... And it would be easier for her then having to keep searching for neighbours that don't have a problem with a blue furry neighbour...""

Boom-Boom has posed:
    Tabitha finds what she's looking for: the last slice of cheesecake. "Dani? While you're down here, I'm going to visit that place I usually don't go because a certain person usually wants to go to sleep." and she looks between the other girl and Hank, then back again. She hopes the riddle was clear enough. "I won't be long up there. Don't worry."

Moonstar has posed:
    Dani grins, "No worries. I'll be up for a little while I think." She winks at Tabitha, then glances over at Hank, "Well, look at it like this. You're building something with her, from scratch. It's a bit more lasting and meaningful a process to me, than just buying a home you find would be. This is something you're laying a foundation of, together." She smiles then, "In some ways I think it would mean even more if you did it like this. Because it would be a creation of the two of you."

Beast has posed:
Hank nods and has fallen silent, even only offering tabitha a farewell nod as she scampers off to.. wherever.. Teenage girls are /confusing. He seems to be deep in thought... then nods and grins, stepping off the chair and grabbing his box of twinkies off the table. "You know.. you are correct. it /would/ mean more." he says, looking revitalized, and no just because of the sugar laden caffeine. "Thank you, Danielle.. And tell Tabitha thank you as well.." he says as he heads for the door.. then stops and looks back. "And.. Keep Miss Smith /out/ of trouble, if you will? Or if you even can. I swear, I do not understand that girl."

And with that he sighs and steps out.
