I have an idea.

We need to put a sign on the gate. We can get it done up really classy, hang it up right under the "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters" sign. Nothing huge, just, y'know, tasteful and discreet.

"Invasions By Appointment Only, Between the Hours of 12:00 and 2:00 PM."

Every damn time with this it's the middle of the night. I mean, do the bad guys not realize some of us have quizzes?

Seriously, though, everybody's okay, right?

From what I've seen, all that practice with the evacuation drills worked like a charm. But I hear you on the middle of the night thing - it's bloody freezing in those escape tunnels at 3 in the bleeding morning. Especially when you don't exactly wear much to bed.

Yep. Definitely not my trousers.

For the record, Manuel and I are all right. Got a page from Moira saying the medlab was being evacuated okay, so I think all's well there too.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna ask Mr. Lee if those things are supposed to be cold for, I dunno, fooling heat scans, or if it's just that the insulation needs replacing, because that was decidedly not comfy.

Am still ok. Now I'm going back to hiding from the world under your arm. If you need me, look to the left.

Rumor mill says you did great, cue my utter lack of surprise.

Stay as long as you want, though, I'm not going anywhere.

I think there might be something a little wacky with the insulation, because I'm almost sure they were warmer than that when we were doing drills last winter. Good to see you're okay--this really doesn't happen very often.

Regarding timing - tell me about it. I was actually sleeping. Feh.

We need a butler or something. Like Alfred. So he could answer the door when these guys show up in the middle of the night, look down his nose, and shame them into calling again at a reasonable hour through sheer force of stiff upper lip.

There's an idea. Although, in the end, our guests really didn't stay all that long. We're very inhospitable around here, apparently...

It's because we can't offer refreshments very well right now, I think. :)

Oh -- if the invaders come at lunchtime, does that mean we have to feed them?

I think lunch would have to cost extra. And we'd expect to be tipped. And probably they'd have to stay after the invasion to help with the dishes, because that's just polite.

I have heard from a reliable source that you have fuzzy slippers, Nathan.

Perhaps the invaders thought we were having a pajama and machine gun party?

I have fuzzy slippers. Yes. Moira bought them for me. They're nice and quiet; one less sound I had to make certain doorcrashers not hear last night.

I am -terribly- jealous. I think I was directing some of the evacuation in mismatched shoes, and I know for a fact that one of them was Amanda's, as I do not own trainers with holes in them.
