Check-In: Not-Mother Hen
Kitty sat at the bar with a cup of coffee and her notebook, watching the 'welcoming committee' make themselves busy. Liz was here, as she'd promised Kitty she would be and Kitty gave her a quick smile of encouragement.
One of the worst things about Check-In Days was that you never knew whether it'd be a whole long day of no one arriving, one spectacular fall from the ceiling and dropping dead after another, or anything in between. It made it hard to know what to do with yourself. After awhile, you got used to it and just kept on with whatever you'd do otherwise, and know that if you didn't step up for a new arrival, someone else would. But for someone not used to treating it like a responsibility to be here, especially someone with Liz's anxious need to be perfect at it, Check-In Day could be emotionally exhausting.
So Kitty made sure to have milk warmed for hot cocoa and her plans for the obstacle course handy in case Liz needed something to do with herself. Otherwise, she was working on a modification of Cerebro to see if she could start detecting new arrivals.

"Glad to know I was made to compete with an alien race in drinking." He smirked and finished off the tequila bottle.
"But I should stop before I have the wrath of Kitty for taking all the booze away from everyone else on arrival day."

"oh, I'm sure they'll let you get away with more things than they will me" He winked with a wry expression as he pushed off the bar.
"Thanks again" he held up the coaster as he started to walk away.

Thor watches as Alec turns and leaves, then finishes off the bottle.
