A Reunion

[367]

What's Up?

It's been a month since Professor Charles Xavier fell into an enigmatic coma, leaving his institute and his protégés to continue on without him.

It's been three days since the mark that had appeared on Xavier also appeared on his first eight students, the original X-Men. While none of them have followed their mentor's lead into oblivion, word of this strange shared circumstance reached them all quickly and they've agreed to gather and discuss the situation.

For better or worse, it seems that they're in this together.

It's dark, cold, and snowing outside when they gather in one of the mansion's parlors, a large room with double doors (which they close behind them) and a lit fireplace. The flames inside crackle and dismiss the worst of the night's chill as they arrive one by one, taking positions on two couches and three chairs scattered around a low table. The antique furniture and built-in bookshelves make the space reminiscent of Charles Xavier's office and the man's presence seems to hang over the gathering.

...But at least the bar cart is well-stocked.

Volunteer Slots

Scott Summers had the foresight to prepare a snack for the group before they met up. Or maybe they just needed a distraction. Regardless, they arrive armed with enough deviled eggs for everyone!

During the discussion, Kitty Pryde says something about themselves or their life that is just...not true. They don't know why they said it or where the thought even came from. How strange.

Near the end of the discussion, Kurt Wagner's mark begins to glow, bright enough to be visible through or around anything that might be obscuring it. One by one, the others' marks follow suit, ending with Emma Frost. The glow of their mark persist for several long moments after the others go dull and seems to pulse within their skin...before they suddenly collapse back with a gasp and fall unconscious.

When Emma wakes, only minutes later, their friends are around them and they recall nothing but a blinding light.

OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

HELLO I meant to do this earlier but I forgot and I'll just put it here now lmao 😌 obviously Emma's powers are very invasive and she can not look in brains but she feels somewhat entitled to it because she's bad. HOWEVER if your character asked her not to repeatedly or has learned some mental defense, pls let me know and I can have her not mind read or you can let me know if they are very clearly blocking something out. I'm trying to keep her at some level of respectful if only because it makes my life easier too... but yeah

Re: OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[totalities marvel girl]

jean thinks really loudly

Re: OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

apsdignad this is... so funny and good ty

Re: OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

ALSO I just said this to Lyss but, I assume if they don't push her out/ask her not to, Emma is just kind of lightly curled up in all their brains like a cat most of the time. hi, she lives here too 😌 it's mostly surface level unless they're really projecting or she's being super nosy

Re: OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

emma in yr brain: 😼😼😼

scott will always tell her to get out when he wants privacy. but usually he just assumes she's reading him

Re: OOC: A note about powers!!!!

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Kurt is usually an open book and kind of invites Emma and Charles to listen in on him, but Charles also taught him to be able to hide his thoughts if necessary. He's not PERFECT at it, so if Emma really wanted to pry she could probably still get in. His other defense against Emma is just to think in very fast German.
