Verity shook Gus' hand in return. "Verity," she said in response before they were off. Gus turned on the radio but instead of the Billboard Top 100 it was some news relating to what was going on. Verity closed her eyes at the words 'uptick in violence'. People didn't need much for them to resort to their basic instincts. Every time something happens people run to the nearest Wal-Mart and stock up on water and toilet paper (of all things). She wasn't surprised that whatever was going around was causing people to panic and hurt others.

At the end of the day, we were all but monsters.

She hoped it wasn't some superbug. But what else could it be? Her mind wandered to conspiracy theorists saying the drinking water is tainted or that the government is spreading chemicals in the air to get people to do things. She laughed to herself just as they pulled into the shop.

Verity opened the door and was about to get out when she heard the scream. She looked around and then at Flynn. "You heard that, right?" She got off the truck and, slowly and surely, made her way toward the noise.

Fleur, admittedly, did not expect anyone to react so strongly to her absence, let alone the goblin. She fought off the gut reaction to laugh in his face. "Her Highness huh? I like that. I'll have to use that in the future."

It was clear the goblin wanted a rise or a fight. She would grant him neither. "I am not here to fish. I am not here to do random tasks. I am here to learn magic to better myself. If you want to do chores, be my guest. While you all got a fish in a bucket, I managed to get a lay of the land. Our journey before got us lost, but now I know where to go. You may recall we have a lesson coming up with Teacher Ot soon so we best be off if we want to make it in time. So would you rather stand there throwing a temper tantrum or would you rather go and learn what we actually came here to learn?"

FLeur's mind wandered. After leaving before she was asked to, and she shuddered at the thought, do manual labor, she had walked around the town. Partly to distract herself from her own mind questioning if all of this was worth it and also to get a feel for the place they were in. She considered herself to be insightful, able to read feelings more so than people. With her fortune telling, she didn't need to con the person as she could actually see what was coming, but not everyone wanted to know the little details.

She watched the people walk by. A mother corralling four children all under the age of 6 by her guess, though humans were weird like that. A older dwarf was carrying huge packs of something. Many shopkeepers and merchants called out their wares to anyone close.

No one paid her much mind, which suited her just fine. She didn't feel like explaining why an elf woman was walking around in a dress and shoes that were slowly killing her. Plus she didn't trust them. Not yet, at least. She had been hurt before. She didn't need that pain again.

After a bit of a walk, Fleur made her way back to the group. It seemed they finished their work so Fleur judged it correctly. "Miss me? How did it all go?" More curious for her own benefit than actually hearing tales of fishing and whatnot. But beggars couldn't be choosers. Where was the magic in all this?

@wanderingwolf Nah that'll work. Fleur doesn't do manual labor.

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge - [Ended]

Ok, I can get something up tomorrow then.

Any idea what my character would have been doing while all this was going on?

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge - [Ended]

Hey all!

Let me know when a good time to jump back in is as it makes sense storywise. I don't mind waiting.

Perry followed with the others in the direction Mary was surely in. As they got closer, Perry felt an intense push inside her head. As if something in her mind wanted to break free. She could only reason that it was due to Mary's emotions and the inner turmoil and battle her two sides were having.

It was so intense Perry fell to her knees. She took some deep breaths but that didn't calm it down any. "She's battling the Phoenix force in her own mind. There's too many intense emotions going at each other. You all need to stay away from her right now. There's no chance of convincing her in this state!"

Things went from bad to worse as April, darling April, went beserk mode and sent a cyclone inside, launching a few and drenching the rest. Whatever was going on with her was more intense than anything Sabine had seen before. There was only one thing to do and Sabine hated that she had to do it.

She stood up and closed her eyes, sending her mind into April's. If she could poke around just a bit to see what caused this chaos, she could perhaps get through to April and calm her down some. As Sabine picked through the memories she noticed two were highlighted, more intense than the others, almost like they were blocking out any other memory April had. In one, Sabine saw Zelda and what she said regarding Arcade. Sabine didn't fully understand why April was hyperfocused on it. Sabine disagreed with Zelda, but could also see her point.

Sabine then went to the other memory and things started to make more sense.

It was back at the Halloween spooky maze. Sabine only remembered what she saw but now she saw it through April's eyes. April looking at a helmet. Upon closer inspection, Sabine noticed it was Magnetos's. And not only that, but April was wearing it, as if confirming her acceptance of the heritage she had, the blood in her veins. And all of that swirled into a mixture of intense fear and worry.

Not only that, but Sabine was able to put two and two together. April saw Sabine literally shift Arcade's mind. A villain changing in an instant, regret on his face. Combined with April's worry over her becoming a villain herself due to her family, of course she would be scared. Woulld Sabine have to shift April's mind in the future?

Sabine unleashed herself out of April's mind. She knew she had to join Leah and bring April back down. Leah had paved the way somewhat so Sabine tried to climb through the swirling waters only to be blasted back, slamming against the computer set up. She groaned in pain, but stood up. She tried again, barely getting through until she reached April and Leah.

Sabine looked into April's eyes as best she could. She needed to see her so she knew the words that followed were meant.

"April, I get it. I get it now and I am sorry I didn't see it before. You're scared. You're worried about your family and the heritage you share and you saw me alter Arcade's memory to make him regret what he did and that worried you. We are not our family. They may give us life, but that life is ours to take and change and shift into what we want. Their influence may exist, but that is why we fight back. That is why we find each other and form our own family. You are not your family in the same way I am not mine and Leah is not her's. I am sorry for scaring you but I need you to come back to us. We'll get through this and all things coming together."

Verity followed the two men out, periodically checking her phone for texts or updates on what was going on. Her mind wandered to her ex-husband briefly and she debated calling him to see if he was okay. She opted not to. He lost that right when he cheated on her. She hoped it was some illness going around and he and his new girlfriend caught it.

She smiled when the man offered her the front seat, moving that 100-watt smile over to Flynn. "How generous. Thank you. Looks like chivalry isn't dead just yet." Perhaps a poor choice of words given what happened inside, but she let it slide and got into the vehicle's front seat. Once she got comfortable she put her seatbelt on and checked her phone one last time. She was ready for this day to be over and it was still morning. Perhaps when she got home she would take a long bath and catch up on some shows she had been putting off, let whatever was happening run off.

Perry had always wanted to travel. Granted, it was never to space and to a space station meant to be destroyed, but travel was a goal she always had. And now she was here in New Orleans. It wasn't a vacation, she needed to remind herself. They were here to help Mary and save the world and yadda yadda.

That means a new look. Before they left she had changed up her hair and put on a cute outfit. Because, after all, you can't fight crime if you ain't cute.

With the others in tow, they explored the Gardens. Thankfully there were not many people around. That didn't mean much though. "Never been to New Orleans. New York was weird enough," Detective Edward spoke up. "I rarely left the mall most days. Farthest I've been is to Ikea," Barry quickly followed after. Mary Ellen looked around a lot. Ever since they came back she spent a lot of time just....looking at things. It had been a long time since she had been back home to Earth.

Perry remembered Max's words. New Orleans would be a hotbed of spiritual activity. So she closed her eyes and opened her senses. She felt a presence quickly and opened her eyes and saw a woman in front of her. She was dressed in all black but mixed with floral accents and a headdress. "You can see me child?" Perry nodded quickly. The woman smiled warmly and danced around. "Oh blessings to Mawu. I have walked the paths of my home for many years, changes coming and going. But you are not here for me, you are here for the trouble brewing. Oh even in death I can sense the changes in the air. It crackles and sparks with energy."

It had to be Perry. If what the others said was true, Mary would be feeling a strong mixture of emotions. Perry used her other power, Enhanced Empathy, to get a reading. She soon felt a force on her that nearly knocked her down. It was strong and powerful. It was almost like there were two forces at work, one fighting the other. It was hard to tell who was who but she, at least, got a sense of direction.

"I can't fully read her emotions, but they are strong. The direction of Ed's spell is where she is." Perry held her head as she felt a headache coming on. The voodoo priestess still remained nearby. "I'd like to help you child, if you will allow it. I can be of assistance with my gifts. I would like to protect my home if I am capable. My name is Adonatille. Perry could hardly blame her and welcomed her into the fold. It paid to have spirit help, especially in New Orleans.
