[hider=Trick or Treat 2024][b]These tricks/treats go into effect when your character returns from Thanksgiving break[/b]

Leah - Treat - While everyone else had a parent or guardian that could be contacted, there was no one there to speak for Leah - something that the school, shockingly enough, hadn't even realized. In order to both tie up the legal loose end [i]and[/i] ensure the safety of a young child, She-Hulk stepped up and filed the documentation necessary, with Leah's okay, to become her legal guardian. Leah has now been given access to She-Hulk's Los Angeles apartment, where a room has been set up for her, as well as a card giving her access to the West Coast Avengers' mansion. Jen has also gotten a trust fund set up for Leah, where she will now be making regular deposits - being an Avenger doesn't pay well, but being a lawyer as well certainly doesn't hurt. 

Mary Sue - Trick - Mary Sue headed back to Cardiff over break, most likely hoping for something relaxing and uneventful. Instead, her grandfather sent his heralds to retrieve her father. The resulting fight was intense and bloody, Oliver ended up in the hospital in critical condition, and a scar across Mary Sue's left eye that rendered her partially blind. Her mother lost an arm, which will soon be replaced with a prosthetic. At least they won the battle. But Thanos is still out there, lurking. 

[b]Andy [/b]- Trick - Over Thanksgiving break, Andy will have had a hard time sleeping, bouts of insomnia that no medicine or magic seems to be able to dispel. The day before she is due to return to the Margaret Carter Institute, she'll finally get some much needed rest. However, when she wakes up, she finds herself in an abandoned building, a desiccated corpse at her feet, and wounds on her arms - as if someone had tried to fight her off. 

[b]Mads[/b] - Treat - Over the break, Mads went through a bit of a growth spurt! Her more demonic features came in and settled. She now has fanged teeth, a forked tongue, horns, a tail, and wings like those of a bat. With these wings, she now has the innate ability of flight. Her teeth are able to destroy most materials, save things like vibranium. Her tail is prehensile, so can be used to grab other objects and manipulate them. And her more monstrous form will give her advantage on intimidation checks.  

[b]Sabine [/b]- Treat - During the break, Sabine was plagued with strange, almost lucid dreams. In these dreams, she watched her mother as a young woman, striding confidently down the halls of a castle on the moon, a sword strapped to her side. She stood a few paces behind a tall man, with dark hair and a dramatic cloak, a crown on his head that indicated his station. Her mother seemed to be his bodyguard, following him wherever he went - from the scene of courtroom dramas to ghastly murders. No matter what Sabine did, no one noticed her in the dream. 

Until the last night, right before students were due to return to the Academy, when her mother would look directly at Sabine, and say: [i]"You are not your father's child, Sabine. You're his."[/i]

Zari - Trick - Zari and Andy have a great break, catching up with her parents in the alternate universe of Earth-667. Aside from Andy's issues, no trouble rears its head - until they get back to Earth-666, and Zari sees her time traveling device short out, reading a bunch of error messages that more or less amount to one thing... Earth-666, the universe our RP takes place in, is now cordoned off from the rest of the multiverse. No one can leave. No one can enter. 

Zelda - Trick - Even before the business with Arcade, Zelda has often felt herself to be invisible, blending in with the surroundings and never truly being noticed. Perhaps that is more true now than ever before, as over the break, she fell ill with a horrible fever. The fever nearly required hospitalization, and when it broke, her body seemed to be fading out of existence. Within a matter of hours, she had become completely invisible - and so far, she hasn't figured out a way to control this power and reappear. 

Dorian - Treat - For a living boy, Dorian shares a great deal in common with the dead - a fact that may endear him more to his Uncle Casper, or even his formerly dead father, Ben. Over the break, Dorian will discover another thing he has in common with ghosts - the ability to manipulate electromagnetism. He gains the ability to perform applications at the basic level per https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Electromagnetism_Manipulation 

Danni - During the break, Danni ended up wearing himself out one day, so incredibly tired as he went to sleep. So tired, in fact, that the scent of smoke didn't wake him. In the midst of a nightmare, his powers activated... and burned his house to the ground. No one was injured, thankfully, the adults had been out seeing a show - and while Max would be able to fix the house pretty quickly with magic, the memories don't fade, and the smell lingers. [/hider]

[@Forsythe]: As Vicky left the office, she didn't leave alone. Ser Nemo and Lady Nimue followed her on out, an ever present shadow. She had just confessed to the teachers wanting to kill herself. They had a duty of care to her - and allowing her to go off alone, without any supervision, was absolutely not going to happen. Lady Nimue would seem mostly disinterested, lost in her own thoughts without passing much judgment or even revealing emotions over Vicky's situation. Ser Nemo, however, looked visibly uncomfortable - Vicky wouldn't be able to determine if the discomfort was from her situation, or if there was something going on in the elderly man's life that was occupying his thoughts. 

At any rate, Vicky would immediately receive a "thumbs up" emoji back from Gideon, in the Uncanny Avengers chat. 

And at the bottom of the letter she meant to send to Agatha, cursive script would appear in purple: 
[i]I see you have encountered the White Witch's puppets. We will speak in New Orleans, soon.[/i]

The Contest of Champions was being hosted by Strange Academy this year, Agatha's current school. And even though she wasn't participating, Avengers Academy does allow students to travel to observe the contest. Vicky would realize that must have been what Agatha intended - for Vicky to still travel to watch the contest, and that they would speak about this in person. 

From the window, Vicky would see a non-emergency medical vehicle pull up, with the logo of the California Asylum for the Genetically Enhanced on the side of it. Coulson then stepped out of his office and into the hallway. "Are you ready?" he then asked her.[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=42A9FF]April Flynn[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/d1723ee57b9df2da0b9489e9cee7a408/90f917e93b713a17-04/s400x600/d38c484659a7a81a4da2f137683399e7922fc1ea.gif[/img][hr][b][color=42A9FF]Location:[/color][/b] Avengers' Academy - Outside Danni and Dorian's Room

[hr][hr][/center]	By the time April had made it back to the dorms and was knocking on Danni and Dorian's door, Mads was there too, just across the hall. Her friend must have just gotten there a few seconds before she did, despite leaving Coulson's office sooner than she had. And as much as Mads was one of April's closest friends, the thought of crying her eyes out in front of Mads, of breaking down so completely... It was terrifying to her. It was a level of vulnerability she reserved for just Danni and Dorian. She didn't even show that side of herself to her family - to her parents, to her sister. 

	She took a steadying breath, and forced a smile onto her face. Everything was perfect. Everything was fine. She repeated those two phrases over and over in her mind like a mantra, doing everything she could to will it to be true. She was fine. She wasn't upset. Nothing had gone wrong. She didn't need to cry. She was happy, even. Thrilled. Ecstatic. Why wouldn't she be? What did she have to feel sad about? Everything was perfect and everything was fine. 

	[color=42A9FF]"Yeah, everything is great!"[/color] April told Mads, somehow with a genuine cheerfulness to her tone. [color=42A9FF]"I mean, that meeting with Coulson went really well! We don't have to worry about getting perfect grades anymore, and we get to shuffle around the teams! Like, not that I don't love my team - because I do, you all are the best - but if this means I could be on a team with Danni and Dori too? We've been talking about it since freshmen year, and there's only one more chance after this year - so like I'm really happy!! And think about how much better our chances of winning are going to be, with adding them to our team! And like the people who aren't into the contest, they can go onto another team, so they don't have to deal with us being extra and all, y'know. What about you? How are you doing? Is there anything I can do for you?"[/color] she gabbed, her speech quickened. 

	And then the door to Danni and Dori's room swung open, but rather than Dorian being inside, it was... Diana?

	April titled her head, immediately confused. Why would Diana be inside of Dorian's room... without Dorian present? That was pretty weird. She didn't think Diana was particularly close with either of the boys anyways. Her brother was dating Dorian, yes, but that was the only connection that immediately came to mind for April. 

	They'd teleported away and left Diana behind? That was also incredibly weird. Nothing immediately came up to April as to a reasonable explanation for what would have happened - she pulled out her phone, shooting off a quick text in the group chat to the boys. 

[hider=@Danni & Dorian][color=42A9FF]Is there, like, a reason why Diana was just chilling in your room by herself? Just came looking for you Dori and I'm so confused lmao. Like ???[/color][/hider]

	She then put her phone away, returning her attention to Diana. She was a fast texter, thankfully. [color=42A9FF]"Was just looking for Dorian, needed to chat with him about something,"[/color] April said - it wasn't really a lie. [color=42A9FF]"I just texted him asking where he is - thanks!"[/color] 

	She was fine. 

	She was okay.

	Everything was perfect. 

	The smile on her face only hurt slightly, but it was somehow... working. She [i]did[/i] feel good. Better. Energized, really. Like she could swim a thousand miles without breaking a sweat. She felt [i]fantastic[/i].
