When the dining hall became too hot and too crowded and too loud, Nari slipped out, her heels echoing in the empty halls. She opened the first door she came to, stepping outside onto the grounds. It was cold, which she found comforting, especially after being in the stuffy dining hall. She assumed it was too cold for most people, so it came as a surprise when someone joined her. “You’ll catch a cold,” was all she said.

EVENT AFTERMATH

Under the cut are the summaries for the four different groups from the event. All of this will be common knowledge around the mansion, especially between the X-Men teams. 

The Aftermath 

Basement Group: Petra, Mimicry, Pluto

Opponent: Ethereal 

Outcome: Successful, team subdued opponent with no casualties, one unconscious team member. 

The basement’s lights were out prompting Pluto to fix the fuse box, when he turned the light on Ethereal went to attack him, however he was pushed out of the way by Petra who slammed his shoulder into a concrete wall. Petra was then possessed by Ethereal turning on her teammates. She used her powers to defeat most of Mimicry’s clones, however in the end Mimicry was able to overwhelm her with her clones, making it difficult for Ethereal to focus and keep her hold on Petra, the dark haired girl forcing her out. Ethereal left Petra’s body before Pluto could knock her out. Pluto’s fist connected with Petra’s face making her stumble back. He was then possessed by Ethereal and forced to attack his teammates, Mimicry once again overwhelmed him with her clones while Petra knocked him out by hovering a rock over his head. Ethereal was knocked unconscious when Pluto was, her form becoming concrete once again and leaving his body. 

Top Floor Group: Fade, Peregrine, Dilverance 

Opponent: Static Shock

Outcome: Successful, team subdued opponent with no casualties, minimal injuries. 

The team ran into Static Shock almost immediately after they entered the top floor, no one to shy away from a fight or hide Static Shock attacked the team sending a bolt of electricity at the lights shattering glass all over the place. He sent another one directly at Dilverance, but Peregrine was quick to knock her out of the way. Quietly, Fade snuck behind Static Shock and when he was caught off guard strangled him with a cord. His entire body was engulfed in electricity but Fade was quick to jump back. Peregrine and Dilverance quickly joined them incapacitating Static Shock with a hit to the back of the head with a bat and then Fade winded him with a kick to the stomach when he was down. Peregrine was quick to tie him up when he was unconscious. Each member suffered burns to their arms and legs and were healed by Dilverance when their mission was accomplished. 

Official Attack Group: Agma, Felis

Opponent: Morph

Outcome: Unsuccessful, official saw them and was hurt by Morph before getting away, Felis was significantly injured and a group of young girls were threatened by Morph

The duo were tasked with taking on Morph and protecting the Friends of Humanity Official who was being attacked. Things went well at first. Felis was able to distract Morph long enough for Agma to get the Official to run away, but the official got an eyeful of Morph and Felis’s abilities. A fight ensued between Morph, Felis, and Agma. After unsuccessfully trying to chase Morph, Felis resorted to attacking Morph with his claws. Felis got in a good scratch, but Morph threw him off and caused a great amount of injury. Agma was able to stop Morph for a bit, but Morph got out of her ice. After throwing Felis off a second time, Morph resorted to taking a young girl hostage in front of her friends and threatening her life to get Agma to back off and let him leave. 

Office Ransacking Group: Cortex, Demeter, Puck

Opponent: Arachna

Outcome: Successful, got away with a USB copy of major computer files and thwarted Arachna, one teammate knocked unconscious 

The group broke into the floor of cubicles and offices. They broke into what they suspected was a supervisor’s office. They found a safe, but it was locked. Puck opted to make a copy of important files on the computer instead. As they were in the middle of making a copy and investigating the office, Cortex heard the sound of Arachna’s thoughts nearby. Demeter went to investigate and got bitten, leaving her unconscious. Knowing Arachna’s weaknesses from another time in his life, Puck quickly put up an illusion where a copy of himself turned into spider eating wasps that seemed to be attacking Arachna. She was left totally distracted and petrified while Cortex carried Demeter to safety. Puck kept up the illusion until he got the computer files and got away safely.

HAVOC’S BRIEF FOR THE X-MEN

“The local branch of Friends of Humanity is planning on holding a public event tomorrow to educate voters on why the Mutant Registration Act should be put into place,” Havoc’s lip curled into a snarl unconsciously. “Unfortunately, the Headmistress’s informant let her know that the Brotherhood is sending some of their people in tonight to use whatever means possible to stop that event tomorrow from occurring. As much as we may not want the event to happen, an attack on humans is not something our kind needs at the moment...”

Havoc sank down into her chair, looking up at the group. “Tonight will be different. You won’t be broken up into your usual teams, but this should be an easy mission. In and out. You all simply need to find and stop the Brotherhood members before they do anything rash. Of course, in your search, if you happen to find anything useful to us...use discretion.” She looked pointedly at the group. “Absolutely no hiccups. If the Brotherhood succeeds and harms another human, life is going to become extremely difficult for all of us.” The blonde assistant headmistress leaned forward and grabbed a thin folder, opening it up and pushing it forward. “From what we know, the usual four troublemakers will be carrying out the mission for the brotherhood.”

“You all will go to the Friends of Humanity headquarters, where they should be about to leave for the day. Start low, then head up to the higher parts of the building, you all know the drill. Try and keep everything under wraps...Get back here as soon as possible. I’ll be waiting.”

EVENT PLAYER INSTRUCTIONS:

The chatzy link will be posted in the ooc at 6:55 EST. Once everyone is in the chat, we will use the roll dice function to determine which characters will be taking on what tasks. Possible tasks are:

-Searching the basement level of the building (running into Ethereal)

-Searching the highest level of the building (running into Static Shock)

-Ransacking the Friends of Humanity offices (running into Arachna)

-Intervening in a Friends of Humanity official being attacked (running into Morph)

To determine the outcome of these interactions, we will use the chatzy flip coin feature. Heads means X-men will win, tails means the brotherhood wins that interaction. Although the outcome will be determined by that function, it will be up to the players to decide how to play out the interaction to that outcome.

See you soon for our first event!!

EVENT 002 - FIRST ANNUAL DANCE

Ms. Maddon has organized a dance in hopes to lighten the mood of the mansion. As the guidance counselor, she feels that it is part of her job to help keep the moral in the mansion up.

Food and beverages will be served and all members are expected to attend and join in on the fun.

The dance will take place at the mansion, on the first floor in the dinning hall. The dress code is semi-formal. The event will take place on
