* not actually a mutant
Veil & Casper & Sunshine


Location: the Carousel
Skills: Mediumship

BOOM! Thunder, wind, rain, and lightning rule the sky! The previously weather-perfect gala has been put to the mercy of the elements, thanks to Spark Plug. The elements did not seem to really care who they harmed, as both Selene and her minions ended up being buffeted by the rain and cold. Most horrifying to Selene, her hairstyle was becoming ruined with the water - perhaps that was why she was screeching?

"Gah, cease this rainstorm at once!!! It's ruining my fit!" Selene shouted, somehow making her voice heard over the din.

Mutant Underground Table -

Mystique was knocked unconscious and critically injured, making at least one less minion/victim of Selene that was actively trying to kill all the mutants of Genosha. The power of lesbians working together :)

Had this entire relationship developed today? Yes. But Ben still held Max somewhat tenderly as Max ran back and kissed him. He didn't voice that a not so small part of him was tired of rushing off to Casper's rescue. He didn't want to always have to get Casper out of trouble. And he felt guilty for feeling resentful over it, and then he felt annoyed for feeling guilty. Emotions sucked.

Ben hesitated, before rushing after Max.

Jack Wayne, aka Legion, sized up Moneta. "You're pretty tough for a lil' lady," Jack Wayne said. "But I reckon that you're fixin' for a beatin' all the same." He glanced over at Andy, Zarina, and Echo. "I've got her handled, if you'd like to go stop one of the others." Was it overconfidence? Probably. But then again, Legion was an omega level mutant. Jack Wayne was ready to hop into the saddle.

He pushed Moneta back telekinetically, slamming her into one of the mushroom tables, food and drink spilling onto her clothes, ruining them. She'd hit her head pretty hard in the process and definitely had a concussion, her vision swimming and she was seeing double. However, she wasn't down for the count - not yet. Jack Wayne was confidently walking towards her.

Shi'Ar Bartender Set-Up

Veil nodded approvingly, seeing the storm that Callie had wrought come to fruition. It reminded her of demonstrations Storm would make at the Xavier's Institute when she was a student there - there was something about the raw, natural power that commanded attention. There was one flaw, however, in a lightning storm... particularly for someone who had just been granted adamantium skin, metal skin... James was a respectable 5'10", so while he wouldn't ordinarily be considered a lightning rod, well...

Perhaps Xavier's school should've supplemented their science curriculum - maybe then Veil would've instantly spotted the problem. Or perhaps Selene's spell should've allowed for more higher brain functions and thought, rather than having her enchanted minions going off of pure impulse and a tendency to cause destruction.

Nope, instead of thinking about how easy it would be for James to get hit by lightning, Veil instead was terrorizing people. No one was really fighting back against her, and she didn't feel like going after the Underground people, they had enough attention at the moment.

Midway Between Shi'Ar Bar and Underground Table

"JAAAAAMES! WHAT THE HELL!" Casper screamed, nearly pissing himself as James tried to get both of them electrocuted. His beautiful pink dress had gotten torn up in the struggle and Casper's heart was beating wildly. He didn't have Ben here to save him. He didn't have Ben here to save him. But luckily(?) his baby brother, Jack, came dashing to the rescue. "Jaackie! What do you mean you're going to be the one to kill me?! And how is James metal?! Why is Max evil??? What the hell is happening here I thought we were having a paaaarty?" Casper whined.

James lunged at Casper and hit him in the throat. Casper fell backwards onto the ground, thankfully not getting trampled as people were doing their best to avoid James at the moment. Ordinarily, Casper would've loved having James on top of him, going for his throat. But right now, he was both horny and scared. "Uh uh uh someone help meeee!!"

Casper's eyes glowed blue and a blue aura covered his hands. A spirit formed next to him, one intimately familiar to both James and Jack.

"What have you idiots gotten yourselves into without me?"

And then, mere seconds later - CRACK!!!!

James was hit by lightning.

James' mutation could not adapt in time.

James is hurting badly.

"What the hell... Why is James metal?" Ben blurted, rushing onto the scene. "Cassie, you good?"

Near the Asgard Bartender Set-Up

"Babe, you're fucking insane, you can't beat Magneto and Polaris!" Marrow hissed, grabbing Sunshine's arm and forcing her to stop. Sunshine glared at her for a moment, before Marrow continued. "Not without me, anyways," she added, before giving her wife a brief but passionate kiss. Someone's firework-like powers went off behind them, giving the kiss a much more romantic scene than their surroundings would have implied.

"I hate you," Sunshine said lovingly. She generated a small ball of disease in her hand, only for Marrow to shake her head. Marrow snapped off more bone spikes and handed them one at a time to Sunshine. "Put your disease on these, babe - and throw them at the fuckers."

"Alright, just be careful," Sunshine requested, not wanting to accidentally make Marrow sick. She imbued the first bone spike with disease and chucked it, aiming for Magneto's neck. Fortunately, he was wearing his party clothes and not any sort of armor. Her aim was true, as such was her mutant power. The bone spike went through, as Magneto for whatever reason didn't notice, didn't react fast enough, and hit him in the stomach. It wasn't thrown hard enough to pierce, more of hitting and falling to the ground, but that was enough for the disease to begin to take hold.

"What did you give him, by the way?" Marrow asked.

"No idea," Sunshine admitted. "Hopefully just enough to get these fields down... But we gotta deal with Polaris still."

Polaris was right behind them - and not all too happy.

Uh oh.
The Woods...

Lorna had NO IDEA how to feel when Fable winked at her. Maybe it really was time for some self reflection. Her face was bright red as Lorna followed after her friend, her sword at the ready in case anything jumped out at them. Part of Lorna did wish for the earth to swallow her whole. That would've been nice. She tried not to stare too much when Fable put her hair up into a perfect bun, and she tried not to think about how beautiful the gems of the clip looked when the light caught them.

When they made it to the edge of the woods, where they could look out and see Kitty sitting on the shore, Lorna was surprised to see Kitty sitting with one of the Athena kids - someone who Lorna instantly recognized. "Oh woah, I didn't know that she was friends with Nadja - I'm friends with her because her grandpa always insists on her inviting me over for the High Holidays - but I didn't know that Kitty was friends with her," Lorna quickly explained. Lorna and Nadja had bonded over their identities as Jewish demigods, although they weren't super close, they were friends. Lorna had found Nadja intimidating at first - she still did, really.

The Lake...

Nadja nodded, smiling ever so slightly at Kitty's comment about the Athena children usually being somewhat hostile. "My siblings are stupid," Nadja said bluntly. "I'm not my mother and you're not your father. So for now, I don't have a problem with you," she explained. "Although that could change, so be on your toes, Kitty," she joked, attempting to bring a bit of levity back in. Nadja knew that she tended to be overly serious at times and could intimidate people who didn't know her, and she didn't need this brokenhearted girl worried about Nadja being out to get her.

She then gave Kitty a wave, before heading off - she needed to tidy up her space in Cabin Six today anyways. And she was sure she'd end up finding something else to do. Maybe she'd grab one of the unsolved puzzles and spend the rest of the day until dinner working on it.
In What If? 2 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay


Jade & Guin


The moment the door opened, Jade jumped out from behind and stabbed the poor soul, killing them instantly. The angel blade was probably overkill in this situation, but she didn't care. It had kept her alive in Altsoba, it would keep her alive here. Edus encapsulated the second person into a bubble, and the last one Thalia slashed at with her claws. She didn't manage to kill him however, so Jade took the opportunity and stabbed him with her dagger, killing the man instantly.

"Do you mind? She's loud," Jade said quietly, looking at Edus and his bubbled prisoner. Any moment now, more people could be coming. If Edus couldn't deal with her, then Jade would. She didn't know if her blade could penetrate Edus' bubble, but she imagined that it might. Magic didn't always hold up well against blades meant to kill angelic beings.

Meanwhile, Guin was feeling nauseous. She was still inside the other body, the one that fortunately was gifted with super strength, but unfortunately seemed to be lacking a healing factor. "Ugh... I'd say it's working, the pollen," she complained. Her actual body was thankfully restrained at the moment with Mary's vines, something that was better happening late than never. Of course, Guin didn't have much of an idea for how long she'd be able to maintain the switch, what with this pollen wreaking havoc on this body.

She knew that she ought to help Cass out, but she also felt it was probably best to focus on maintaining the switch, and she didn't know if she could fight and do that. All she really felt up to at the moment was probably vomiting. "Mary this sucks so much..."



Guin Stark

Location: Woods (Mary's Group)
Skills: Telepathy

"Guys, someone's coming," Guin announced suddenly, detecting the thoughts of people moving rapidly towards them. The movement was so fast, accompanied with a burst of wind, that one would've been forgiven for assuming that Pietro had returned. In a way, he had. Guin's heart skipped a beat out of dread - it was the other Quicksilver, the sadistic one from this world. Accompanying him were Pyro and Phantazia, a man with pink skin that she didn't recognize, and finally what looked to be Annie and herself. Guin noticed the eyepatch covering her counterpart's eye and she couldn't help but feel guilty. That version of her was an abused and brainwashed captive - and there was probably little she could do.

It suddenly occurred to her - that she could remember both this world and their own now. Her head was pounding slightly from the mixed up memories. She took a deep steadying breath, trying to focus on her most recent memories. Guin then learned that her counterpart had a device that could track the M'Kraan crystal, better than Strange had been able to. Their Guin has a device that's tracking the crystal, we need to grab it or destroy it, Guin said telepathically to the others present. It took her three tries to get the message through, something was blocking her.

There was also some weirdness since Guin was married to Pietro - but in this world, Quicksilver was her primary abuser. It was a sadistic twist of the knife. She felt like she needed to apologize to herself. "It's going to be fun beating you, asshole," Guin promised. She didn't know the pink man's powers, but the only other person with telepathy there was Guin's counterpart, and Guin imagined that her counterpart's mind had to be an absolute mess. She was confident, perhaps overconfident, she could handle these people.



Lavender Haze

Location: Woods (Mary's group)
Skills: Telepathy

The girl had once gone by Guin Stark, years ago. Forcibly indoctrinated into the Brotherhood, she had eventually been instructed to select a new, mutant name. There had been a truly awful suggestion of Techno Wizard, or just repurposing her dead father's mantle. But her entire life felt hazy at times, so Lavender Haze it became - usually just called Haze for brevity.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the people they had encountered. It was definitely incredibly strange, looking at a version of herself, one without scars or a missing eyeball... She didn't allow her attention to linger long, however. They were close to their objective, her instrument's readings leading them to a more precise location. "You can have her," she told Mystery. The girl meant nothing to her. None of these people really did. While Haze's companions were most ruthless and excited for fights, she just... wasn't.



Runa Baldurdattir

Location: the Woods (Runa's group)
Skills: Darkness Manipulation

"Annie, are you alright?" Runa asked, alarmed. But beyond the near miss murder attempt, another thing instantly had her troubled. She recognized the circlet worn by Klara - it looked identical to one she had made for her cousin, enchanting it with a protection spell. Bethany's revelation that her mind was continuing to warp was even the more concerning. Runa felt sick to her stomach. She mumbled a silent prayer to her grandmother, a force of life and fire incarnate. They could use all the help they could get.

"Stay behind me, Annie," Runa then added. Runa was more durable - the only one there who matched her durability was poor Lance. Her heart was pained just thinking about him. She didn't want to think about him. She reached her hand out and commanded darkness, wrapping Klara up in darkness and restraining her. She extended her other hand, attempting to do the same thing to Mage, but she couldn't quite grasp him - keeping Klara restrained was taking up too much of her concentration.


☀️ Nancy Parker ☀️

Location: NYC
Skills: N/A

When they made their way down to the platform and Kristin found a spot to sit, Nancy opted instead for leaning up against the wall, watching. There would be plenty of time for sitting when they were on the train - that or pacing up and down the corridors, annoying everyone who was trying to just get to the restroom. Kristin was mentioning that apparently there was a Lord of the Rings movie - Nancy had tried reading the book as a kid and found it tediously dull. But she didn't chime in on the conversation here. She wasn't interested in joining the Greeks for a movie night and she wasn't concerned about feelings of togetherness.

As far as she was considered, that was a Greek problem. Camp Jupiter was all about belonging as a group, about using one's strengths to complement those of others, of taking down foes as a unit. Camp Half-blood was so focused on the individual that it was no wonder none of them could get along. She sighed slightly. She was going to have to carry the weight on this quest. She was going to have to face her deepest trauma because there was no one she trusted to be competent.

Nancy gave Joanie a pet, silently willing the train to arrive.



🌈 Leda Storm 🌈

Location: NYC - Pier Area
Skills: N/A

Some people might've felt bad when they heard the sorrow in Hercules' voice, as Leda reminded him that she was not his mother. But Leda didn't feel bad at all. She was just relieved to hear that the cyclops wouldn't be calling her mummy anymore - it had already happened far too many times than she would have liked, and he had only done it once. Leda did not particularly like kids and she never wanted to have any of her own - and if somehow she changed her mind about that, she still wouldn't want to be a teenage mum. "Smashing. It sounds like we've got things figured out, and these kids seem fine, so let's go then?" Leda suggested.

They were basically at the pier anyways. Hercules would be able to breathe underwater, as would Kiera. And Leda trusted her girlfriend to keep her from drowning - hopefully Kiera could do something about the immense pressure at the ocean floor to keep Leda's eyeballs from popping out, but Leda figured they'd cross that bridge when they got to it. "We've been here for an eternity anyways, and it'll take just as long for Argus to come fetch the lot." Hopefully no monsters would be stupid and/or bold enough to try to attack the gaggle of demigods. At least, not within the next hour or so.


Megan Pendragon

Location: Atlantica
Skills: N/A

Megan nodded, listening to the plan. It made a certain amount of sense. The explosions would be brightly lit, and at night, that would be blinding to the pirates that they were attacking. If they could cause the explosions from a distance as well, they wouldn't have a similar issue. Once the dust settled, they could go in and pick off the survivors, either taking them as prisoners or sending them to their graves. It was practical and efficient. "Are we taking any prisoners?" Megan asked. She imagined the answer was no, but she wanted to hear it said.

The sort of fight they were planning reminded her somewhat of events that happened in a popular show, one that she had watched late at night (insomnia made it easy to keep up with popular shows). Fire never ended in anything other than a slaughter. She wondered if those sort of rules would hold here, in this fantasy land.




@BlueSky44@Kirah@Nallore@Natsu

EARTH 257 - 6:40 AM Nov. 15th, 2021 - London, England

Jubilee Park and Garden -

Gargantos was severely damaged - the demon would likely be forced to dematerialize and crawl back to whatever hell it had come from shortly. Matt went in to paralyze another tentacle, but his moves were sluggish. Not too long ago, that would've been a chance for the demon to fling him across the park, but due to Gargantos' injuries, it was the most the demon could do to just move its tentacle out of the way. Niah wasn't doing too bad a job at civilian herding - luckily, most of the park was evacuated by now, with some stragglers just at the edges.

Raynor nodded at Cass - he was grateful that she had helped, but his ego was a little bit wounded. Not to mention he was perpetually stressed ever since they had landed back in this universe. All he wanted was to be home with his baby girl, not here forced to confront the sins of his past. Everything he hated about himself, he had learned here. The only things in his life that had any meaning were from Earth!666 - his Sparky and his daughter.

He mustered up his strength and blasted light straight at Gargantos. The civilians were pretty much all evacuated now, so he didn't care. "Nice look," he grunted at Maria. His light beam crashed into Gargantos, the eyeball now bleeding what looked like black goop. It would only take about one hit more or so to send the demon packing.

"Has that happened before, mate?" Amelia called out, admittedly curious about Maria's demonic transformation. Gargantos didn't seem to have many working tentacles left - just one, really. She sent a gust of wind at Gargantos, but it didn't really seem to do much at all to the demon. The demon was more or less ignoring Amelia like a pest, screeching in pain and not really doing much at all to attack.

Amelia tried again to send a blast of wind fast and angled almost, so as to be cutting - this time, the air sliced through Gargantos' last tentacle, black blood oozing and dripping onto the street. The demon was completely vulnerable now. All it would take would be one good blow and the demon would be gone. "Someone want to finish this cunt?"

Bonnie was staying back and out of the way, assisting with the last few people who were having trouble fleeing Jubilee Park. She wasn't going to stop doing her job, she wasn't going to stop helping people, but she also wasn't stupid. She knew that Gargantos could have killed her with one of its tentacles - and she anticipated that the eyeball probably had ways to fight without its tentacles anyways. But more importantly, she wasn't the only one her body was keeping alive at the moment.

* not actually a mutant
Veil & Casper & Sunshine


Location: the Carousel
Skills: Mediumship

There was mass panic and hysteria, as people found themselves rapidly sobering up out of sheer terror. Everyone felt in their bones that this was about to be a massacre. A dozen of the world's most powerful mutants were hellbent on slaughter, all to see SELENE become a dark goddess. Reeva's screams were shutting off the powers of groups of mutants in waves, and sending some abilities dangerously out of control. Magneto and Polaris were slowly making the magnetic force fields smaller and smaller, forcing everyone into tighter and closer quarters. Esme Frost was attacking telepathically, sending mutants dropping to the ground motionlessly. Mister Sinister was cackling, stealing people's capes and strangling them with them. Destiny horrifyingly was firing blind into crowds with a crossbow.

And yet, things could have been oh so much worse. Our heroes weren't the only ones fighting back. No, others were rising up to protect themselves and their community everywhere within the Carousel. Some might have argued that Selene made a mistake, assuming that she only needed the Quiet Council to destroy Genosha.

After all, Genosha was a people - not a place. A people who were shouting NO MORE.

Mutant Underground Table -

"James? James!" Casper shouted, broken hearted as James left him behind. Casper's shoulders slumped. There were screams all around. Was this the lot of mutants, to always be hunted, even by one of their own? All he could be thankful for was that his mother had little baby Danny with her and that she wasn't here - that if they all died, at least his son would make it out okay.

But Casper wasn't going to accept this. His head started pounding for a second, something that he vaguely recognized was some sort of telepathic attack. He wrote it off as being one of the Quiet Council people - a few of them were telepaths and all of them were apparently evil now, per Hocus Pocus rules. "I'm going after James!" Casper shouted, before taking off at a run in the direction James had gone. If true love's kiss didn't work, then maybe true love's punch would.

"'Fraid I can't do that," Jack Wayne said, nodding at Echo. "Lil Davie doesn't want to be out right now. But don't you fret, ole' Jack here has a few tricks up his sleeves," he added. He made a lassoing motion and telekinetically yanked the hard light spear out of Max's leg, the spear flying into Jack Wayne's hand. "Huh, now what's a nice lil lady like you doing throwin' around somethin' like this?" Jack Wayne asked Moneta, before throwing the spear back at her, aiming for her stomach.

Sunshine knew that they couldn't all just stay in one location here, concentrating their efforts on Moneta. There were other members of the Quiet Council that needed to be dealt with. And while other mutants were fighting, Sunshine wouldn't be able to live with herself if she stayed here in her battle tested group. "I'm going to go get these fields down," Sunshine said, not offering a moment for anyone to object before she took off at a run in the direction of Magneto and Polaris.

Marrow's eyes flashed. "Not without me you aren't!" she shouted at her wife, before running off after her.

"Watch out!" Ben shouted, snaring a tentacle around Andy and quickly lifting her up and out of the way. The small child had rushed up to Andy, seemingly going in for a hug, but Ben had noticed the knife the kid was holding behind her back.

"Way to ruin the fun," the little kid complained, before shifting into her true form - that of a blue skinned woman with red hair and a belt of real skulls. Mystique. "But we can do things this way, too," she offered, before feinting and punching Zari in the throat, hard.

Shi'Ar Bartender Set-Up

Max teleporting Ben away had forced Ben to release his tentacle'd grip on Veil. Veil fell to the ground unceremoniously, clad in a Christmas-y sweater with her initial on it. Somehow, Selene's spell allowed Veil to recognize that the sweater did not go with her suit, so she removed it quickly and threw it aside. Then again, that was exactly the sort of thing Selene would add into a spell - not only would her entranced minions kill for her, no, they would slay for her. Ugly outfits were simply unacceptable.

"Spark Plug, can you make the weather a living hell in here? Whatever the worst you can do is," Veil requested. "If we perish as well for goddess' ascension, so be it. That price is worth it." She then looked at Caduceus, contemplating what to ask him to do. Even now, Veil fell naturally into a leadership role. Moneta had already charged off towards the table the Mutant Underground was chasing at. "Caduceus, you need a more useful ability."

And then, without another word, Veil attacked her enchanted ally. She sent a sharp force field disc at James, aiming for a kill shot. But rather than beheading him, his reactive adaption kicked in. James' skin turned to metal - more precisely, adamantium, one of the strongest metals in the world. "There. Now you can better serve our goddess."
The Woods...

Lorna's face was bright pink as Fable suggested that she needed to think it over. She had never really considered the possibility that she might like girls - Lorna was always more interested in sword fighting and hanging out with friends. But there was a certain amount of power in being told by someone she, well, liked that liking girls could be a label that fit her. She tested it out in her mind for a moment, wondering what her life would be like if she ended up with a girl... and the blush only deepened on Lorna's face as she realized she wouldn't mind that - that she might even like that.

Yeah, she was going to need to think on this more.

Nothing else was jumping out at them, something that Lorna was disappointed in - it would've been nice to swing her sword a few more times and take out some small monsters. "Th-thanks - I know I'm not as good as Luke or anything, I mean no one is as good as Luke, he's Luke, that's his entire deal, if someone was better than him than he'd just be... some white guy, you know? Instead of... well, a white guy who's really good at the sword. A-anyways, if you wanted to I could offer you some pointers - maybe spar - but only if you wanted to? We could even trade, archery lessons and sword lessons?" Lorna rambled.

"Oh, right - arts and crafts..."

The Lake...

Nadja nodded, listening to what Kitty had to say. The good thing was that Kitty seemed to be aware of her own habits and patterns, meaning that Nadja didn't really need to do much prompting to get Kitty to reflect inward. However, the conclusion that Kitty reached Nadja had mixed feelings on. In her experience, finding a crush was just a way of forcing yourself to like someone you picked out - crushes tended to find you. "Don't force it," Nadja advised. "You'll find someone - and then that'll probably end horribly and you'll find a new person and you'll repeat this cycle until you find the one."

Nadja stood up from her spot on the shore, dusting some sand off of her knees. "And if an older guy ever does give you that sort of attention, kick him in the balls," she recommended. "Did you still want to talk more? Or do you want to be alone? I can go journal elsewhere and leave you be, if you want." Again, while she didn't really know Kitty, she did feel for her. Nadja wasn't heartless - just blunt.
