Groovy Tunes, Sunday
Jono stepped into a music shop that was up to his knees in holiday cards, and buried his face in his hand.
This was what happened when you ran with the X-Men. This mess, right here.
He said a few choice words to the cards, and then slogged through them to go grab a broom. Maybe instead of playing music today, he'd spend some time going through them, possibly even answering a few. He hadn't spoken to Lee in a while, after all, or Ange. The card from Doop was both entirely unexpected and predictably illegible. Sofia sent one, as did Barnell and Angel and the kids. There was even one from Paige in there. Which. Uh. Awkward, but appreciated. Not as awkward as the one from Gayle, which he was squinting at for a full ten minutes before setting it aside with the rest.
There were some from the students back at the Jean Grey School, too; Roxy, Broo, Evan, hell, even Santo, which made Jono that much more convinced that this was the island pulling something, and not necessarily the result of some spontaneous card-writing campaign in Westchester. Still, he did pick up his phone and give Jubes a call anyway, partly to talk about the card and how weird this place was, and partly to catch up on what was going on in her life. Shogo was doing well, she told him. He was getting big now and starting to say words. She talked about her role at the school these days, managing to keep the heroing bits out of it, and, in a moment that caught Jono somewhat off-guard, started to cry when he asked her if Logan was driving them all barmy, yet.
Ah. Nobody had filled him in on that one. Maybe he really did need to start spending more time at the school, again.
Jubilee told him she wouldn't complain if he at least visited from time to time for more than just the occasional class, and he agreed to give that a try before she had to take off to clean something that Shogo had gotten into. They hung up, and Jono was left to contemplate the rest of the cards.
He would have sighed, if he could have. Instead he set to work, going through each card one by one and setting aside any that weren't for him. There were some for the little blue guys in here, a few for the Silence, which was a surprise. Even the stereo had some.
Who the hell liked the stereo that much, anyway?
[OOC: And open music shop, too!]
