Weds Morning

[passingthru]

The Professor's mark changed.
It's weird and empty in the middle now.

Comments

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Of course it has.

I don't suppose you've had any epiphanies about what that means?

[......]

[Kitty]

Is it wise to let everyone see this?

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Wonderful. I'm glad he's not being denied a custom touch, otherwise it might hurt his feelings when he wakes up.

He's otherwise the same, though?

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

The entity can't be contained creatively.

Otherwise no.

[Manuel]
[...] Who shouldn't I let see this? It's all our business.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Who's visited him recently? I last saw him [...] Sunday.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

And the fact that it's already smack dab in the middle of his forehead might already hurt his feelings.

Yeah. Nothing else has changed. The nurse is gonna tell us if anything does. Like anything. I was very insistent.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

All the way on
[...] I'd been there on Monday. Nothing new then.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Not as helpful as I was hoping, wunderkind.

None of this makes any sense.

[Kitty]

Margali, for one. But that ship has sailed. [...] Magneto, for another.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I'm 23 do I get to bear the banner of wunderkind anymore even?

[...] But yeah. I know. I think that's the problem. Normal logic isn't helpful with this.

[Manny]
Scoot would've gone to see him sooner than later, and Illyana could be going in there every day for all we know. I don't think this changes much.
[...] I do have to get used to not telling him stuff, though, if anything bigger does come up.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

That's probably the most inconvenient location for a surprise tattoo. Hopefully they'll go away once we've solved this.

Good.

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

third eye open

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I wonder if that was done on purpose. For spite. Certainly makes a statement.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Oh good point.
What could that mean.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

You've got one more year. Maybe two.

Agreed. If there's a pattern or cause-and-effect or anything happening here, I'm not seeing it. Either there's no logic at work or we're missing significant information.

[Kitty]

Scott trusts us. If we told him to stay out, he would. At least for a while. [...] He asked us to keep him in the dark. It's necessary. You don't need to feel any sort of way about it.

[...] But you're right about Illyana. Unfortunately. We never should've

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

And a nurse would've noticed if it happened yesterday. I'm wondering if something happened near him to prompt the change.

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

There has to be some kind of symbolism we just don't understand yet, especially when magic is involved. There's just too much theater for it not to.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Thank goodness. Heavy is the head and all that.

[...] Maybe not no logic. Magic seems like a different kind, is all.

[Manny]
I feel a sort of way about a lot of things for no reason, as you likely know.
It just goes against instincts. For a long time, he was the first one I told mission stuff to. BUT I'll stop myself before I say anything too precious, promise.

[...]We do need her help, too.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Illyana is on to something with the third eye thing, probably, right?
They're watching us, too?
But they probably always were.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Like what? It's not like he gets outside visitors or anything, right?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Everyone else's remains the same, correct?

I'll stop in to make sure nothing has changed mentally, though I doubt it has.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

Thanks. I'm still here in case anything weird happens.

Mine's still five circles.

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Potentially. But it must be fairly incomprehensible if three sorceresses can't untangle it.

[Kitty]

I know. [...] And I understand that it's uncomfortable for you. All I ask is that you keep it front of mind for now.

[...] Not necessarily. If Emma can find this thing, we may not need to understand whatever game its playing.

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Not unless they teleported in.

This happened after one of us visited him, which could be clue. Or else it's not related at all to something we've done here.

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I doubt it will. I don't want you to feel stuck there.

Mine's the same, too.

[...]

You're alright, darling? I know this is stressful.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

We should know which of us visited yesterday. And what we all talked to him about. I just read him a book he'd hate.

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

It's okay. I'm not stuck.

All good. How are you? Feeling better?
