Introduce your character! Let us know how they're looking, how they're feeling, where they're coming from, and the like. Any pre-discussion scenes can also go here.
Any interactions that occur after the discussion and prepare to depart can go here. If characters leave together and go somewhere else, just make a note in the subject line.
It's up to you! It can be something innocuous that none of the others would catch or something wildly outlandish or anywhere in between. If you'd prefer I pin down something specific, though, I can do that. Just lmk!
Scott lives in the mansion, in the same room he was granted when he was fifteen, so he had time to take over the kitchen before the meeting. For hours. Making four dozen deviled eggs that look so perfect you'd expect them to have come out of a magazine.
Anyone who observed Scott in the kitchen today will know that he immediately put aside any flawed creations, which means he actually made way, way more than 48 deviled eggs. And in case you ask, he's fine. He's completely fine. If you don't want eggs, he also brought veggies and dip. All of the veggies are cut to exactly the same length.
As usual, he doesn't show much emotion during all the reunions, but he's quietly happy that they're together again.
Kurt also lives in the mansion, and he's taken it upon himself to be the host. Welcoming people when they arrive, taking their coats to the closet, making drinks, and generally teleporting excessively. He barely takes five actual steps the entire time people are getting settled, a pretty sure sign of either eagerness or anxiety. Maybe both.
He seems mostly like his usual gregarious self, but any time he sits still even non-telepaths and empaths can sense a forlorn uneasiness in his smile. He's genuinely excited to see everyone again, but his thoughts keep wandering back to Xavier or the marks or just the general state of the world.
Evelyn is in the process of moving back into the mansion at the moment, and today, all that's left after a couple weeks of sporadic effort are a pile of bags and bits and bobs that she immediately disappears to assimilate into her lair. After a while, she cheerily emerges to join the others, dressed down in plush baby blue athleisure and fuzzy slippers. Sleepover vibes! It's like she never left at all.
Once in the parlor, Evie sets about making honey and whiskey cocktails and projecting ambient mood lighting to match the glow of the fire. Obviously they're going to have to do some serious talking or whatever, but why not make it cozy?

This is Emma's first day back after a whirlwind of trying to pack up to move back to the mansion - she had planned a slower reentry after Xavier had fallen comatose so she could finish up some business, but with the appearance of the mark her timeline had moved up to 'immediately.'
Dressed in a nice, fitted white dress and heels (what snow?), she's a little flushed with travel as she arrives not long before their discussion truly starts. She makes sure to sit next to Manny on one of the couches, and will shoo someone to a chair if there's not initially room for this. Outwardly, Emma projects relative calm, but she is very displeased about their current situation. Still, at least it's nice to have everyone together again.

For most residents of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, today is just another day and immersing himself in that stable monotony, keeping busy, makes it far easier for Manuel de la Rocha to get through the long hours until the gathering. He spends the day teaching. Grading. Practicing Prokofiev's Suggestion Diabolique with (perhaps unwarranted) intensity. Working out. Showering and making himself presentable again. And, eventually, it's time to meet the others.
He arrives just on time and not a minute before, taking a seat beside Emma on the sofa nearest the fire and looking between his friends. He doesn't see them enough anymore, even the ones that are always close at hand, but he's in no mood to appreciate the reunion just now. There's too much happening. There's too much that's beyond his ability to understand, let alone control. And, to add insult to injury, now they've been branded like chattel.
Maravilloso.
With an impatient sigh, he brushes back his still-damp hair and waits for things to get underway.
