video; around the time of the imports' return

[lasthugs]

[Around the time the first imPorts started trickling back into the imPort towns after their flight from the Antarctic, the network lights up with a video. There's a murmur of voices in the background, but the obvious focus of the feed is one smiling woman -- Cass. A much more subdued looking man sits drinking coffee what looks like a cafeteria table behind her, and behind both of them is an expansive room that people who actually frequent the place may recognize as the dining hall of the Xavier School for ImPorts.]

Hi guys! [Cass greets, cheerful as ever.] Usually, I'd ramble here and try to preface things, but today I'm just going to get to the point. [thank goodness]

[Stepping back, Cass turns around her camera and starts to take a video of the cafeteria around her, and what she focuses especially on is a group of tables set up like a buffet line. There's food everywhere -- trays filled with several kinds of salads, trays lined up with a bunch of sandwiches, and beyond them, plate after plate of all kinds of food.]

There's also soup cooking in the back, [she declares while turning the camera back to her, and her brightly cheerful grin softens a bit.] Professor Callaghan and I spoke while you were gone to open up Xavier for all of you -- after an ordeal like what we just had, I can only imagine how tiring it'll be to have to cook or buy and wait for food, but food is essential to healing. The doors are open to anybody who wants to come in, so come help yourself, all right? If anybody who's well enough to and want to help can help, I'm welcoming that, too. We've got a stock of blankets here, too.

The food's already ready! We'll be here all day and into tomorrow, so drop by whenever you want to. No need to sign up or pay. Just remember to share.

And... welcome back, everyone. Get some rest.

[[ooc; for those who want to thread this mingle out, there is a log over here!

You always know JUST what to say to get me to visit you!

[Riku recognizes her, as Hiro's aunt, but he's pretty sure this is the first time they've spoken.]

You're a friend of the professor's?

[orions_shadow]

Blankets and food. Basically my two favorite things.

You think we can take some of the food home?

Thank you.

[ Carl's trying to get his weight back but, well - rationing out his meals didn't do well with his health. It's sort of surprising he manages to run and fought as much as he did without collapsing, combined with the lack of sleep. ]

I've spent more time sleeping than eating when I first arrived. This is a good idea.

I'm sure everyone will be thankful for this, Cass. it's a great idea.

[ Hiro is so freaking relieved to have his brother back (or on the way), it's not even funny. This just sounds amazing on top of everything else. ]

You want help, Aunt Cass?

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Is there anything I can do to help?

[Alison had just been thinking something like this would be nice, especially for all the kids involved, only she's too exhausted from the whole ordeal to do it herself.]

Aunt Cass

[God, it's gorgeous. He's so grateful to be coming home, in every sense of the word. And more than once he's thankful she's here.]

Just try to leave some for me.
