Veil & Casper & Sunshine
Location: Various
Skills: Mediumship
The Green Lagoon / the Astral Plane... For a moment, David's eyes widened, thinking that Harry meant he had four siblings in addition to Veil - but then he realized he just meant his dancing, singing, fabulous clones. David then giggled, shaking his head ever so slightly. "Uh huh, you aren't wrong though, there does seem to be a theme on the island of French Canadian twins - Aurora and Northstar, Echo and Veil... I guess I must be extra lucky then, as I get to have
five all to myself," Legion joked, referencing Echo's dear clones. "There might even be a French Canadian one of me in here somewhere - I bet they're adorable," Legion mused.
However, he did realize that they had probably been talking for a while. "Should we go back to reality?" he offered. "Or stay in the astral plane?"
The Green Lagoon... For a brief moment, Veil didn't even remember what she had been wanting to talk to her brother about - she had gotten so preoccupied with being angry and annoyed at this entire situation that it had slipped her mind. Thankfully as Spark Plug joined them, asking what was going on with Legion and Echo, Veil's thoughts went back on track. She huffed slightly and brushed a chunk of wildly astray hair out of her face.
"I'm going to New Orleans soon with Max and a few others. I would invite Harry to come, but he's too busy to even talk to me clearly. If he loses his mind wondering where I've gone, then tell him for me," Veil instructed Barry - the Barry that was her brother's clone, not the alternate personality of Legion.
"Ooo, New Orleans? Is it Mardi Gras?" Barry, the one that was part of Legion and not her brother, asked.
"No," Veil said plainly.
"That's Blob, Sunshine, Marrow, you, me, and Max going then." Veil paused for a moment, trying to recall if she had missed anyone or left anyone off the list, but she didn't think that she had.
Pixie rolled her eyes at Max, giggling though at the bravado he was displaying after winning the race. "Not too bad," she told him with a grin. "Who exactly are we grave robbing with? I'm guessing your mates?" Pixie then asked. Despite having agreed to go along and help out, she didn't actually know who they were going off with to do this. Her wings fluttered as she glanced around the Green Lagoon, before spotting Veil and Spark Plug talking with Legion and Echo. "That them?" Pixie asked.
Outside the Hospital... "Of course, that's fine - I could use the company..." Bee said, her voice trailing off. Nemesis was a lot to handle alone sometimes - a visit from James to pick up some forms would be a nice break.
Casper's heart skipped a beat as he felt someone slide up onto him from behind, perching their neck on his shoulder.
"You don't think I should have gone with a different Housewives song - maybe Chic, C'est La Vie by the Countess?" Casper joked, beaming from James' kiss. He adored these physical acts of affection - it was his main love language. He loved to be touched and to touch - kisses, hugs, and
anything else. However, Casper did a slight double-take like a cartoon character as James dropped the bomb...
"Our baby is Jack-Jack from the Incredibles? Specifically the one part where he's on fire? And not the other parts?" Casper blurted.
"What sort of fire extinguisher do you use on a baby? Aren't there different kinds? Like once we didn't know what kind we had and there was a grease fire, so we.... Wait, sorry, off topic, I can tell you that story later - just remind me about the llama and it'll come to me. But... Again, what do you do to fireproof a baby? Do we keep him in the tub all the time? Won't he get wrinkly? Do babies mold when left wet for ages? Is that possible?"The Rebuilt House of M... Polaris' eyes widened, hearing the sort of things that Valkyrie was saying. Now it made sense to her, why her dad had been more or less ranting at the kids when she walked in. The conversation must have hit too close to home for him, forcing him to recall the horrors of his childhood, the genocide committed against the Jewish people. Even for her, Valkyrie's words were extremely uncomfortable, and Polaris hadn't even really tackled her relationship with Judaism yet - she hadn't found out about her heritage and her father until she was an adult.
"Val, wait one sec," Polaris said, looking at Valkyrie.
"I know you think you're real slick and you did nothing wrong, but a bit of advice? Don't lecture a Holocaust survivor about death and belief - especially not when invoking Norse beliefs. I won't tell you this again." "I do not need you to fight my battles, Polaris," Magneto said sharply. He had turned his back on Valkyrie, literally and emotionally. He still held Andy as one of his adopted children; but not Valkyrie.
"Before you leave, Valkyrie, I would have something returned," he said.
"The token that I presented you." Blackstone... "Excellent!" Selene exclaimed with a grin, clapping her hands together.
"I suppose I won't be eating you after all - not now, at least," she mused. She was starting to feel a bit peckish. But she supposed she could always consume him later. She didn't know if she would have much need for an apprentice once she ascended to godhood, but she could figure that out later. At the very least, he could start a few cults in her name once she became a goddess; that would be a good, productive use of his time and hers.
"Now, I was in the middle of a fitting for the Hellfire Gala, so I'm going to return to that - Jumbo has promised me an original piece, one fitting for the Mother of All Mutants, the dark huntress, she who commands the forces of life and death - SELENE!"Hellfire Bay... Renegade frowned slightly, listening to what Moneta was saying. She was interested in the fact that her kids had supposedly helped out - and she wondered which ones Moneta meant. David wasn't technically her son - his real mother was Gabrielle Haller, Renegade had just more or less ended up caring for him like he was one of her own as he was Valentine and Casper's half-brother. She didn't know if she saw Jack helping to change the world back - he had too much of his father in him for his own good. "Try me, chère? I--" Renegade cut herself off, a coughing fit overtaking her.
Moneta would notice that Renegade was coughing up
blood.
