FCXL, or Phoenix stuff

[mind_over_metal]

So it became very clear to me the other night that I will never catch up on either Phoenix events or Phoenix aftermath. There's a lot of things that I think would have happened with Charles that I never had the chance to thread out. If you'd like to, we can adjust and work things out OOCly in this post. I'm also willing to thread things out, but I will be quite honest in that I'm pretty much at threading capacity for serious business now.

Here's the timeline of what happened for Charles, as far as I can figure:

Friday (the day of)
-Oh no, telepathy all throughout camp, telepathic Phoenix feels.
-He gets in contact with Erik, Ryuuken, Peter Bishop and M'gann -- all people he thinks are at particular risk and that he'd be able to work with to coordinate something should things go severely south. He also contacted Ronan and Thor seeking information.
-He initiates contact with Phoenix while still talking to Peter and Erik. Phoenix mentally tortures him to the point of him blacking out briefly at the end of it.
-NOT THREADED: It was while he was being tortured/unconscious that the major fighting happened. (Hence his not being present at all with any of the kids.)
-Erik/Peter finds Charles in the library. (We are punching the space-time continuum, in fine CFUD style.) Erik and Charles have a kind-of-fight. Peter accompanies Charles to the hospital.
-NOT THREADED: Charles spends most of the rest of the day at the hospital until Ryuuken kicks him out around 11pm
-NOT THREADED: I think Charles would have gotten in contact with Scott during that day, both to check in on Scott and to initiate making contact with Jean. He wouldn't want to risk negatively triggering her -- "her" being Jean.
-NOT THREADED: Charles also would have checked in on the kids-who-are-not-Julian, in a brief but efficient way. Julian is his primary concern, as the kid has clearly been mentally fucked something good.
-Erik comes to speak with him at the Cabin McAoy that night

The following days
-NOT THREADED: Charles spends a fuck-ton of time at the hospital, mostly with Julian. He gets kicked out of Julian's head a number of times by Julian's traumatized brain. He doesn't ignore the other kids, but he honestly has a pretty single-minded focus on Julian.
-NOT THREADED: Charles keeps in as much regular contact with Jean as possible

Saturday (i.e. two days from now)
-Charles makes mental contact with Julian

THAT'S COOL BY ME Josh already kind of sleeps like the dead because he tends to stay busy to the point where if he didn't have complete control of his biological functions, he'd be exhausting himself. Like all the mutant kids he does have serious nightmares though, which is why he only gets a few hours a night, since while he no longer wakes up screaming, it's still very stressful and difficult to sleep for long periods because of. So I'm totally cool with Charles softening his dreamspace a bit while he naps.

And yeah, Josh would have wanted to administer a quick check up (which is EXTREMELY quick for him since he'd just need to have physical contact with someone for a few seconds to determine if anything was wrong) and would probably give him a small energy boost if Charles would allow it (KIND OF LIKE AIRBORNE OR SOMETHING idk).

"things start bad and then level off but never really get better and keep on wearing things down"

THIS IS A FEEL THE MUTANTKIDS ARE VERY VERY FAMILIAR WITH Josh would give the Professor some space to do his work, and would be unobtrusive and out from under foot, but he and the rest of the kids would never allow Julian to be truly alone with ANYONE. So while maybe not always in the room, they'd pretty much be on the other side of the door during Charles' visits. NO OFFENSE PROFESSOR, MUTANTKIDS JUST TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN.

That said, Josh would probably keep a quiet eye on Charles and dedicate some energy to worrying about his stress level (wouldn't want you to get sick ): ) and make sure he was remembering to eat and stuff. Which, as a puppy, it'd be a bit harder for him to do but he'd probably convince Jubilee and Kurt to bring fruit or a granola bar or something whenever they visit to give to the Professor.

His other duties include being the Team Mom, okay? ):
