Magic is disgusting.

Someone that isn't squeamish, come to my office. I need a second set of eyes.

[......]

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, my mark changed sometime this morning or last night.

[Emma]

How are you feeling?

I hope it goes without saying that I'm at your beck and call today.

Comments

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Oh no. I'm afraid to ask, cariño.

[...]

Send us a picture, will you?

[Manny]

Miserable, honestly. This is the worst migraine I've ever had - I'll actually be accepting fussing, but [...] my emotions are still everywhere, as a warning.

[...]

I'm sorry if having you in Cerebro with me is what caused your mark to change.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Did you get a rash from the sword or something.

[...] But yeah, mine changed, too, this morning. I've just sent a video of it doing so to all your phones. Felt like a pulsing.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Have you seen what happened to Margali's flowers on the lawn?

A picture of what?

[Emma]

[...] I know. I've been feeling you all morning, honestly. It just seemed better to ask. [...] But good. Fussing is well-deserved.

Have you taken anything for the migraine?

There's no reason to assume that. And even if there was, you'd have nothing to apologize for.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Dios mío. No.

One of the students brought me some of Margali's flowers and you've seen the mess on the lawn. The grotesque little monsters are in my office. I think I got them all, but I'd prefer to be certain.

[......]

That's [...] not good unexpected.

[......]

It looks like something writing.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

you're scared of bugs

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

this is interesting to see. how many of them have changed?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I haven't, I've been being an invalid sadly. It's not my favorite.

A picture of your mark. We should be certain they're all different.

[Manny]

Ah yes, I'm so used to you not feeling me that I forget there's range on it. [...] Don't make fun of me for my embarrassing feelings.

I have, don't worry. I have an ice pack as well.

With Kitty's changing too, there is reason. [...] But at least we have a lead.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

magic sigils are idiosyncratic. impossible to discern their meaning if you aren't the creator most of the time. if we have enough of them however it may be possible to check and see if they've ever been recorded together before.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I hadn’t been outside actually. Huh. Makes sense for her. I can help look for worms.

I’m almost glad both of ours changed at the same time. Strengthens the theory that it happens when we mess with the magic.
[…] That’s what I thought too.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Four of us now. Emma’s a little over a month ago, Kurt’s just the other day, now mine and Manny’s.
Kurt and Emma’s were both right after we’d spoken to sorceresses about their origin and ours happened right after Cerebro, obviously. But Emma’s didn’t change again yesterday. So we’re still unsure why.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

I am not scared of bugs. I am disgusted by bugs.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Oh, I don't imagine I'll be able to glean anything out of the symbol itself. But so far they've all changed into something different. We can get you images of them all.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

maybe the marks are just getting to know you all better. do you think it suits you?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I suppose you could argue it looks like a jewel, but that seems a little shallow of it.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

A wise call, all things considered. It's repulsive.

[...] Sent.

[Emma]

I would never. And I promise, you are among the least embarrassing people here.

Good. But if you need anything else, you'll let me know?

[...] Potentially. [...] But what I said still stands; you have nothing to apologize for.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

you're calling for backup

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

I'm being thorough.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Apropos, sí, but I still don't want them in my office. So. Thank you.

I'm not. But I won't begrudge you a silver lining. [...] That would mean it's trying to communicate something, no? No telling what or to whom, though.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

none after i agitated them the other day either

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

i can come kill the scary bugs for you

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I'll look in all the weird corners you could never see into, even.

[...] Maybe communicate. Maybe just mark us for its own records. Hard to say.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Yeah, exactly. Or when we were doing all of those experiments on them, before.
Which makes me wonder if it's like you were saying.

Only it's not the marks getting to know us, but the inscriber, when we've done something it pays attention to, or learns more about us.
[...] Which is of course all wild conjecture. But I do wonder if we could get one to change on purpose.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

[......] I've got it under control. Thank you.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

i think the others' suit them as well

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Nothing happened to mine when I got a spell cast on me by Margali. Or Illyana when she tried to disrupt Manuel's mark. I wonder what the difference is.
