AND SO HE PONDERS... SURELY IF SOMETHING WERE AMISS, XAVIER WOULD HAVE CALLED HIM OR SOME REPORT WOULD HAVE COME IN FROM AVENGERS HEADQUARTERS; BUT--NOTHING!
AND SO OUR HERO WAITS--AND PONDERS--HIS MIGHTY CUDGEL WEIGHING HEAVY IN HIS HAND--WAITS FOR SOME CHANGE IN THE PASSIVE SCENE BEFORE HIS WEARY, MUTATED EYES...

GM: Wha?
V: Hey midget boy, it's Valkyrie. If you're not with us you're against us. So if you're not an ally, then we're setting our super-magic-electric-magnetic blades on kill and coming after your blue ass, capische?
GM: Wha?
V: Whatever! Call us back when you WAKE UP.
There is a knocking inside the skull of the Giant Midget.
GM: What the...?
Morgaine: Dude. Don't you check your voice mail?
GM: Voicemail?
Morgaine: On your PHONE?
GM: Crushed the phone.
Morgaine: (if you could hear a deep breath telepathically, that's what you'd be hearing now)
Morgaine: Giant. Listen. Listen carefully. We're WAITING for you. Here are the coordinates, now get your ass here ASAP.
Morgaine: (If you could telepathically hear someone leaving in a huff, that's what you'd be hearing now.)
GM: Bitch.
So do you need help rescuing the three drunken trollops? I mean the two drunken trollops and their hey-Mikey-he-likes-it sidekick?
Let me know. You'll have to use UHF radio since you crushed your cell phone.
