[h3][color=gold][center]Jaclyn [i]"OfAll"[/i] Chreyz[/center][/color][/h3][center][img]https://assets.mycast.io/actor_images/actor-ta-kaiya-blaney-267392_small.jpg?1631024853[/img][/center][center][/center][hr][center][color=gold][b]Location[/b][/color]: X Mansion - War Room [color=gold][b]Skills[/b][/color]: Power Mimicry[/center] [hr][hr] Jaclyn had first looked, then stepped, back through Max's portal, her actions suiting her feelings as she was more with the War Room discussion than with Max at the moment. Jean and Scott's input was reassuring -as Jaclyn was thinking, the situation wasn't at crisis point [i]yet[/i]. They had time enough to think things through, consider their individual situation -Mary's was different than Jean's. The Shi'ar were an avenue potentially good to know, but silently Jaclyn agreed it wasn't one to go down at this juncture. [color=gold]"If emotions are key, we should look at doing whatever would be least emotionally charged,"[/color] Jaclyn had nodded to Carolina, but presented this suggestion to Scott, feeling deferent to him and Jean given their experience. Though only Jean's ongoing presence had been explicitly addressed, Jaclyn assumed Scott's may be counted as well; as far as she was concerned, that made him the one to run things by for a definitive, pinned-down action plan. [color=gold]"Mary definitely shouldn't feel like we're seeing her as a powder keg, for instance,"[/color] Jaclyn had shifted to generally addressing those present, though at that moment her gaze fell in thought. [color=gold]"Especially if.. .I think I might've encountered Chrysi on Asteroid M. . ."[/color] She thought now not only of that mission, but what she knew of the ones that preceded it. Whatever degree of major Asteroid M fell on the scale in Mary's mind, it was at least a contribution to the compound stress of being an X-Man. [color=gold]"Does anyone know if certain stress brings her out? Maybe a ground is what Mary needs, or has decided she needs, for either situation and she's trying to find that with Gambit -assuming that's why she's in New Orleans. Since she didn't come to us, interjecting ourselves in. . .maybe that wouldn't be helpful. Though we need to know how it's going so we can get involved if, or when, we should."[/color] Feeling sure on certain things while less so on others, Jaclyn was partly making suggestions and partly thinking out loud. Respecting Marygold's space, sensitive as it may presently be, while keeping duly close and ready, seemed a prudent fundamental objective. Ready to do [i]what[/i], was the next.
