Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Saturday

Normally, Cable would leave the 'taking notes on the new arrivals' part for radio. However, tomorrow was going to be spent at the Deadpool-mandated birthday party for Jan, and so he wouldn't have as much time to pour over radio as he'd like.

Which meant that today was spent at the shop, working out a good Bluetooth solution so he could at least listen in and make some notes while he was busy... birthday-partying. The Open sign was on the door, as was the HELP WANTED one, but honestly, he wasn't paying much attention to whoever walked by the shop windows.

It was a newbie day, and preparations had to be made. As one did.

[[ open without OCD, woo. ]]

And there in the doorway was Jamie. A giant grin on his face.

"Hello Nate," he said cheerfully. "Miss me?"

Now there was a voice he had been hoping never to hear again.

Cable didn't even need to look up. "Madrox."

That was a 'no', Jamie.

Well in Jamie's mindset, if Cable wasn't pulling a gun on him he must have missed him a little bit.

"Your former employee sends you greetings," Jamie said as he reached into a duffel bag that he had hanging over his shoulder. "As well as a gift that has been in her family for quite some time."

"Let Temari know she's welcome back any time," Cable said, finally looking up. The expression on his face said that Jamie wasn't, so much.

Please. Like he'd waste bullets on Madrox.

"I'll tell her that," Jamie said as he rummaged through his bag. "Ah! Here we go."

And with that statement he pulled out the item and placed it on the counter.

It was, of course, not a ninja family heirloom but a rubber chicken.

"She said in her culture you should hang it on the wall for good luck."

Ah, that expression on Cable's face? Not amused.

"You should keep it," he commented. "You're going to need it."

"Oh come on!" Jamie said with a laugh. " Not even a little smile?"

You were no Deadpool, Jamie.

In response, he merely got a rubber chicken tossed at his face.

Okay, so maybe Cable had been spending a lot of time with Deadpool over the last few years, considering that he did crack a smirk afterwards.

The chicken hit him in the face.

And of course made a duplicate. "NOOOOOOO!" the dupe screamed and wept not the heirloom!" The dupe sank to the floor nuzzling said rubber chicken.

"Is Jan around?" Jamie asked as he pulled another box from his bag. "I brought her a gift. Perfect thing for a future mutant leader/savior."

"She's around," Cable said, vaguely. "Whatever it is, I'll pass it on."

Hell, Jan might be about the one person on this island happy to see Jamie back, which was a reason to keep her safe if he knew one. "Is he going to drool on my floor?"

He gave heirloom-Jamie a nod.

"He's fine," Jamie said with a dismissive shrug. "I'll absorb him before he does any water damage. Here's her gift, it's a ninja Barbie."

That poor Barbie was going to get security-screened every which way from Sunday. "Thanks," Cable commented, and took it. "Welcome back to Fandom, Madrox," he added, almost as an afterthought. "Don't break anyone."

Jan, apparently finally wise to the commotion downstairs, banged on the door keeping her from wandering into the shop.

"Aww... What's the fun of that?" Jamie said as he headed to the door. "Half the fun of Fandom is weirding people out."

"I'm not helping you if someone decides to start a mob," Cable told him. "As long as they take it off-island."

"Did you forget I have my own crowd control?" Jamie asked over his shoulder as he reached the door. He absorbed the dupe that was lying on the floor and headed out.

The rubber chicken? It was left behind.
