"Mardi Gras is usually in March, so about 2 months ago," Lance commented, figuring to answer that question more or less.

It took a few minutes for everyone to get into the room, but once everyone was there, Scott and Jean walked in last and looked at everyone there. Klara was a little confused as to what it was that Annie was talking about, and actually she wasn't even sure what her name was again. "Um... What are you talking about?"

"Well, looks like everyone is here so guess it might take some explaining from the sounds of things," Pietro commented, not entirely sure what the whole plan was.

"Loos like we've got some newer faces around here since the last time we were really here for any length of time, for those who don't know, I'm Cyclops, but you all can just call me Scott, and this is Jean, we came to the mansion because we were closer and Gambit called us asking that we check on Marygold because of a message that he got from her saying she needed help."

"We don't know how many of you know the full extent of Mary's mental instability, and that is a problem. A big problem. The Phoenix can be manipulated and such usually by human emotion, it is part of what happened with me years ago. I was manipulated by a group known as the Hellfire Club who sought out to control the Phoenix, which resulted in emotions going haywire and which ended up resulting in the destruction that was caused," Jean explained, "That leads to the bigger issue."

"You mean the alternate persona that is a bit of a psycho that Mary developed a while ago?" Lance couldn't help, figuring that he'd clue in the few people in the room who really didn't know about that whole thing at all.

"Now, as Annie mentioned, the message she left sent to Gambit is one that mentions not being able to hold on for much longer, odds are this is referring to holding off the influence of the alternate personality, or it could refer to holding off the power of the Phoenix. Those are the two most likely instances of what it is.

"So if we're going to stop her or help with whatever is going on that would mean we'd need to find her first. And not sure about anyone else, but I haven't seen her in a while. Not to mention we don't exactly have any sort of idea how we could potentially help the situation. Since the the Phoenix has chosen not to leave, and it wouldn't easily be fought against for whatever reason...This is kind of seems like we're at a loss of what we can do..." Mira ended up speaking up, looking around at everyone.

"...I can answer that. Well, at least the first part. I did a spell, not sure how accurate it was with modern technology but fairly sure it worked. Spell said that right now Marygold is in New Orleans," Klara commented, looking around at everyone.

She had to stop herself from laughing at what she could hear with regards to Alexios popping up when he did again. Alexios seemed alright at least to her for the most part, plus it was amusing to her how much he messed with Zeke and Demetri for the most part. They seemed to be causing a bit of chaos over there so, which was more amusing to her than anything really at this point.

Janelle noticed that Isaac was ready to head out, and she accepted his hand to get up, and was glad to be heading out and all now. "Alright, let's see about 'eadin out, gettin a lettle loud and all 'ere anyway," she said to Isaac, clearly referring to the chaos around Zeke, Demi and Alexios and all. Heading to the beach would be way more calming than being around in this chaotic mess and drama that seemed to be going over there now.

"Not sure if it would work. I've never tried to use this sort of technology before. We'll find out though it seems," she commented, looking at the phone that Bethany had handed her and looking at it not entirely sure how it worked even with Bethany explaining it.

Lance saw Annie walk into the kitchen where they all were, right when Guin's message rang out through their minds. "...Guess that answers the question of whether or not we should be concerned, let's head downstairs then, but if you at least want to try the tracking spell Klara now. Otherwise we can maybe get an actual map downstairs."

Klara nodded her head, though she wasn't sure how it would work out entirely since the others seemed to miss the part of needing some water for her spell to work. Hopefully Bethany didn't mind if the screen got wet or anything. She turned on the kitchen faucet and just got a few drops of water floating around before turning it off again. "Følg henne," she said, the water around her glowing with a faint pink light, before one drop bolted and landed on the phone screen.

The screen started glowing as the water droplets seemed to be moving the map around all on it's own. Before eventually stopping on a place. "Looks like the map says she's in some place called New Orleans at the moment? I think. Sorry, not entirely sure how super accurate that even was with Midgard technology, a lot of our magic doesn't typically mesh too well with it." Klara said, before making the water disappear and handing it back over to Bethany.

"Well at least it gives us a potential start," Lance said, before he instantly headed out of the room to head down to the lower levels of the mansion. Though when he walked out into the main entrance area, he saw Guin and Pietro there, with Scott Summers and Jean Grey standing there. "Well can see where this is headed since those two are here," he commented, referring to the other two.

"Yeah, does it surprise anyone that all hell is breaking loose, that's kind of the norm," Pietro commented, before he picked Guin up and raced downstairs, figuring it was quicker that way, and Scott and Jean started heading that way as well.

As soon as Guin's words echoed throughout her mind saying that there was trouble, Mira got fairly concerned. For more than a few reasons, the others didn't seem to be super freaked, but she'd been around long enough that even though she didn't constantly talk with everyone, she definitely knew a lot that went around. "Danger, end program and save it so we can pick it up again, light up the War Room if you could please too," she spoke out loud, talking to the AI as the world around them dissolved and shifted back to the normal room that it had been before. Max for some weird reason created a portal, and she rolled her eyes a bit. "The War Room is literally right outside the door, we don't need a portal."

To prove her point she headed out of the room and stepped into the hall, and Max would be able to see her and she gave a slight wave as she walked over. "You made that a bit more complicated than it needed to be, your powers might be better used getting others down here faster since we don't need to take an elevator," she added as monitors lit up and she took a seat at the table nearby.

"Let me know if you require my assistance," a computerized voice rang out in the room, and Mira just nodded her head.

"Hopefully it isn't that dire that we need to, but will let you know... I have a feeling where this is going, and it is not good..."

There was a large gust of wind, as Pietro came racing into the room with Guin and tow, setting her down on the ground when he came to a full stop. "Guess we wait for everyone else to get down here, if people don't hurry up though I can go race around and grab them if needed," the speedster said, seeing the portal that Max had created that seemed to connect to the Danger Room. "...Did you really make a portal to go here from the Danger Room? That's like, what, 30-40 feet or so to walk? Doesn't exactly take that long... Eh well whatever."

Guin would hear Pietro's voice in her head though, So... All hell is breaking loose as usual but what are your thoughts on this? And are you doing okay? Yup, Pietro was asking if she was alright for what probably felt like the hundredth time at this point, but he was pretty concerned, considering at this point if worst comes to worst, it might end up with one of her best friends dead, and all of that combined with the past month had him seriously concerned for her at this point.

Zelda had been about to make a comment about how Victoria's last attempts to get into the main system for the Framework had almost resulted in someone dying. And with how things were going it had been more likely to be her since they had thrown Victoria around in self defense a bit before. And she was going on about going down fighting? That hadn't exactly been working out entirely too well for her in the past, so why try again now?

Her thoughts were pulled away from that by April. April being sent flying.

She'd been keeping track of the lives, she knew that April had only one left. Which meant it was all over the instant she got sent overboard. There was nothing else right now that her brain could focus on. Her annoying older sister was just gone. She was massively panicking so she didn't end up saying anything to Victoria as the pain ripped through with regards to losing more lives. That was the very last thing on her mind with regards to it.

Well crap, this was not good! What button did Arcade hit? A quick scan of the system made it obvious. Everyone was dying, and there was no way for them to do things fast enough to save everyone. Even if they took down Arcade, people would be dead. This was not a good thing. She saw a symbol over everyone in the tanks, showing that they were close to death. Whereas April didn't have any symbol, meaning they were already too late to save her.

"...We need more time..." she muttered to herself under her breath, the floating robotic eye with her was just watching her, as she glanced down at the watch that was on her wrist.

"01011010 01100001 01110010 01101001 00101100 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110111 01101001 01110100 01101000 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101111 01110101 01101100 01100100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100010 01100001 01100100 00100000 01100011 01101111 01101110 01110011 01100101 01110001 01110101 01100101 01101110 01100011 01100101 01110011 00100000 01101001 01100110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01110011 01110101 01110000 01110000 01101111 01110011 01100101 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00101110 00100000 01001100 01100001 01110011 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01110111 01100001 01110011 00100000 01100100 01101001 01100110 01100110 01100101 01110010 01100101 01101110 01110100 00101100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01110111 01100001 01110011 00100000 01100001 00100000 01101101 01101111 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101000 01100001 01100100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100111 01101111 00100000 01100010 01100001 01100011 01101011 00101100 00100000 01100010 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110010 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110111 00111111 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 00100111 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01101110 01101011 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110011 01110011 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110111 01101001 01110100 01101000 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01110111 01101111 01110010 01101011 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110000 01100101 01110010 01100110 01100101 01100011 01110100 01101100 01111001 00101110!"

"Well I can't just let everyone die!" she responded, before seeing that Mary Sue had managed to get herself out of the Framework by sheer luck or something. "...Well guess now I'm going to be dragging two people with me instead of one." She tapped out a rhythm of sorts on the watch face, before a computer projection popped up in front of her with a keyboard and she started typing on it her fingers moving really quickly. "We need more time, let's get more time," she said to both Andy and Mary Sue. Andy would know exactly what she meant, Mary Sue, probably not.

After a few seconds, the computer screen disappeared and the watch on her wrist was glowing, she grabbed both Mary Sue and Andy by the arm and raced out of the room dragging them along, the glowing on the watch became brighter and brighter, before a portal opened up while they were in the hallway outside right in front of them and Zari dragged them through it. Mr. Eyeball the robot following along right behind them, figuring that the robot would try to keep them out of trouble. The portal was swirling with a dim green light as they ended up going through it.

They landed still in the same hallway farther away from the entrance to the room Arcade was in. Zari held her finger up to her mouth in a sign obviously meaning to keep quiet. She looked down at her watch and had a bit of a sigh of relief. Somehow in the chaos and panic, she actually had managed to hit her target of timeframe. "...We have about 30 minutes before Andy and I come up from the basement. We need to mess with Arcade's systems but not busting in like Andy and I did, since he had enough time to push the insta-death button on all of you. Mary Sue, figure this is probably really weird but I'll explain later, we don't have much time to fix this and save everyone."

Mira wasn't really finding anything else useful, and had wandered out of the park and was looking around to see what area she should head to next. She wasn't sure where to head. Though she had been leaning on heading towards Baker Street, when she saw that everyone was seemingly heading for the Pub. Hesitating for a moment, she eventually chose to head that direction now too.

Walking in, she saw Max and Perry already there, and she looked around the room to see if anything was interesting to see or anything. Behind the counter she saw what looked like a display case that had been tampered with, the outline in the dust of the display seemed to show that it likely was the Revolver weapon that had once been there. Definitely made an interesting note of sorts to keep in mind. The fact that it clearly had been taken off it's shelf for whatever reason.

"I've programmed various things for the Danger Room before, yet sometimes it still amazes me all that it can recreate perfectly," she commented to the others, choosing not to get anything from the bar as Max and Perry's drinks arrived. "I was passing by wondering what you two were up to, before I maybe head back to some of the other areas. Since as someone who likes the occasional detective story and Sherlock Holmes, I am kind of curious to see what Baker Street looks like."

"Well here's the thing, is that most ways sound like they are essentially going to only really be close enough and not actually getting her location. Whether through magic or trying to find her through technological means or whatever. And we don't know what she's doing or whether it's important or not."

"I mean, probably could try a spell of sorts, but for me that would require a map, but not necessarily any other sort of thing but a cup of water for me," Klara said with a shrug. "That is if you want to know where she is before we go there. In the event that she is actively doing something. Could at least give you a city, and then maybe more than that if you had a more detailed map of that area. But could give you an idea instead," Klara suggested, looking at the others again.

"That might be a good idea first," Lance wasn't too sure how great of an idea it would be to just pop in and check on Mary if she was in the middle of something. Heading off alone was weird to most people, not him really or anything like that, but everyone else found it more concerning than he did, so it might be best to just go with what everyone else seemed to think.

Annie and Guin
"...We figured it out during the Galactus incident," Pietro responded, clearly referring to himself and Guin. "But pretty sure it was before even the whole mess Wanda created, either that or it happened then."

"...The Galactus incident was over a year ago,"

"This could also prove to be a really big problem though. Because while her mind is splintered like that, who knows how the entity will act."

"Care to explain?"

"Part of what caused the Phoenix to go down the pathway it did with me, was in part due to the manipulations of the Hellfire Club. That wasn't the only thing that caused it though it was the biggest stressor. It was human emotions, thoughts, feelings those sort of things. With a personality split, well, that would make that much more complicated of a situation since you don't know which ones thoughts are fueling it."

"So... Decent chances that this could lead to all of us dying then? Sounds like fun. And yeah definitely sounds like we probably should go tell the others now."

She thought about Isaac's suggestion of where to go, and she thought that it did sound nice. A walk down by the beach, hearing the sounds of the water and waves. It was always a sort of nice place to be. And it wasn't super crowded or anything like that, which was a good thing at the moment still for her. Janelle preferred the calm and quiet still, too much noise was overwhelming to her and the peacefulness of the beach was always nice.

Hearing his other question, asking if she'd want company or something like that, she sort of nodded her head a bit, "Yeah, I wouldn't mend sahme cahmpany ahr anythin, and a walk by de beach sounds great," she said with a slight smile. Walks always were better to go on with others, as long as there would be too many people going. So that was fine with her.

"I dahn't really know," Janelle responded when Isaac asked her what she wanted to do afterwards. Honestly she didn't know what she wanted to do or anything like that. She hadn't fully thought it out of what she wanted to do aside from maybe just avoid some people depending on things. There wasn't whole lot at this point that she wanted to do. Maybe a walk or something would be nice? Other than that she kind of just wanted to not do a whole lot currently.

"I might just go fahr a walk ahr sahmethin like dat, wander around fahr a lettle while. Ahther dan dat I dahn't really know what I'd want to do ahr anythin like dat..." she ended up saying out loud to Isaac. That would make the most sense for her, at least right now. Maybe go to the training grounds or something later, but a calm walk or something first might be a nice thing.

When it came to searching around for clues, the group got a sort of mixed result sort of things. Max found absolutely nothing at the Museum. There didn't seem to be any sort of helpful things there, at least none that he could see at the moment anyway. Maybe at a different location there'd be something?

Perry would find something that would definitely be helpful when it came to the clue searching at the pub. She'd see the revolver weapon in a display case up on a high shelf behind the counter of the restaurant. The weapon was sitting there, with a layer of dust, indicating that it seemingly hadn't been touched for a long time. Maybe she could ask some of the patrons of the pub and they'd know something?

Jaclyn over at the docks would find the motherload a bit when it came to suspicious clues. Down in the water by the docks, she's see something in the water, she'd be able to reach down and find a Cricket Bat that looked like it maybe could have gotten discarded there by someone for whatever reason.

Mira wasn't having the greatest luck over at Hyde Park. She was looking around for clues, and wondered for a moment just what sort of clues she was looking for exactly. Something that could tie someone to the location, or maybe a weapon that looked like it was discarded or left there for some reason. Something that had been messed with and left behind. But as of right now, she had found nothing. Mira was going to look around a little more here before moving onto a different place if nothing turned up.

"I'm always up for a teleportation spell, but we might need a better location then just far away to the south don't you think?" Klara pointed out to her cousin. "At least so you don't miss in your aim or something like that."

"I'm not sure how sling rings work aside from you use magic to open up a portal using them. So not sure if that would be too much of an issue or if you have to even just think of a person and you basically teleport to be right by them or something like that," Lance commented with a bit of a shrug. Unsure of what else to really say on the subject matter.

"Maybe we can try a different tracking spell to get at least the right town or city or something like that if just trying to use that Midgardian device to appear over there or something. We do have multiple options how this could work out."

"Actually sounds almost like with the concerns people have they want to stage an intervention at this point or something like that. When we don't even really know what's going on with anything." Lance was fine potentially just waiting to see if Mary popped back up at the mansion, but if everyone else wanted to see about finding out where she was and going there, he wouldn't fully stop them about it. He was concerned a bit too about the disappearing for days at a time, so there was obviously something she wasn't telling them

Annie and Guin
"It unfortunately isn't so simple to remove it, especially if a part of the person with it wants to keep that power." she explained, shaking her head a bit at the comment.

"The only way it ended was when Jean died. Which was not an outcome we wanted. The only reason she's here now is because of the fact that the entity decided to resurrect her itself. Which is not something you can ask of something that could blink you out of existence. Or burn you to death which both are not exactly anything anyone wants to have happen. But that is the full on worst case scenario. And depends, since Jean had gone fully dark by that point, there was a point of no return."

"Doesn't help that I got manipulated by others to cause that to go that far. Though I do agree, finding her before it gets worse we might be able to stop what's going on before it reaches that point."

"Guina's right though," Pietro said, finally speaking up after a while. "Mary is kind of insane, sort of anyway."

"What do you mean by that?"

"...Wait, you seriously don't know? Actually scratch that why would you we found out by accident she didn't even tell us or last I checked really anyone. But she's got a split personality and the other one that occasionally pops up is very murderous. Which probably in this instance might cause even more issues..."

"...That would cause bigger issues. When did she start having these problems?" Jean definitely was concerned about that, and there was a bit of urgency in her tone of voice.

Well the guy finally seemed to be down, so that was a good thing at least Victoria had managed to do, well, something anyway. Though that didn't mean that they were out of the woods yet, as the world shifted once again. Now she was back in her Princess Daisy outfit, and in a very familiar minigame. "Oh come on, not even actual main part of the game you have to stick us in one of the minigames?" she commented, looking at the game around them.

Zelda did have to agree with April's comment though. They were thoroughly screwed. And that was putting it lightly.

They were going to die, there was no way out of this game. Unlike the other games they had landed in which had given them a fighting chance. This one did not. It was entirely luck based, and they could die rather easily. "Entirely luck based, no way to change the odds or determine which ropes are safe... You pick one and hope you don't die. We are doomed..." Without another thought though, she went to the very first rope in the line and cut it, pausing for a moment. The anxiety rose with regards to whether she'd be sent flying or something. Luckily, that didn't happen, and she seemed to be safe. For now.

"Okay, up the stairs then," Zari said nodding a bit, before starting to follow Andy up the stairs, though she stumbled a bit as she followed along, using the railing a bit to steady herself as she went. Once she got up there, she almost fell over except for the intervention of a very familiar robotic eyeball that had a flashlight attached to it catching her and propping her up.

"Well sorrrrrry I don't feel too good someone tried to poison me or something!" she complained a bit, managing to stand up straight and unhooking the flashlight from the robot. "I'm fine anyway, thanks for showing up when I called though..."

Zari didn't say anything else to the robot as she followed Andy along again, her sword shifting from it's flashlight form. She saw Arcade over with the Framework, and she giggled a little at Andy's words towards him. "Surprise. Not dead you know." her brain was still a little bit fuzzy but she was still preparing to have to deal with something. She knew that she'd have to pull the others out of whatever was going on. That was definitely going to be fun.

She didn't say anything else on the walk over or anything, figuring there wasn't a whole lot to say or anything as they headed over there. Janelle still wasn't really hungry, so she didn't grab a plate or anything, but she did follow along after Isaac over to the Hypnos table, taking a seat herself, "Yeah, no, I'm fine, it's fine, no worries," she commented with a shrug, saying nothing else on the subject really.

Glancing around slightly, she saw everyone else in the area but figured it was better to just ignore them and go on with things. She'd have to deal with more people soon enough when they had to go off on that other quest to find the Doors of Death again and stuff like that. That definitely was going to be fun to have to deal with in general. That was going to be a lot of fun, but not much to really deal with that stuff yet. Right now she was just focused on dealing with the here and now honestly.
