Right, time for Asgardians worked a bit differently. For them it had been a decent amount of time, but for Runa and Klara, it probably felt like the equivalent of a few days or something like that. The time difference is a bit weird at times to think about, "Well it is still good to see you," he said to her as she was starting to explain fully how Klara was doing now.

At least she didn't seem to have any permanent damage done to her head, so there was that anyway. That would have been the biggest concern, but if it is just her more recent memories that are having issues than that could probably work out for the most part. He'd have been more concerned about it if she was missing a larger chunk of time, or moments from a few hundred years ago, that sort of thing. So at least there was that bit of silver lining.

Pietro basically followed along after Guin and Annie, to him it felt like he was walking, to Annie and Guin he seemed to rather easily be keeping up with them. "Yeah, we'll hear if it is anything important, and figure the Asgardians would have insisted on saying something already if it was that bad. So there is that reasoning. But hey, not everything has to blow up or go wrong right?"

"Yeah, she can control oceans and water too, but she tends to prefer to lean more towards the love aspect of her powers that sort of thing," Mira explained towards Max with a bit of a shrug. That was the few things she managed to gather from Klara the few interactions she had truly had with her. Klara was a bit odd and seemingly overly chipper at times, the glitter comment made her laugh a bit though.

"You should have seen her interactions with Thor, she tackled him in a hug and there was pink glitter everywhere. As for which one just walked into the library, that was Klara herself. Runa I take it is still outside or something like that," she added, before glancing back in the direction of the library and seeing Avery leaving it now. "Let's go downstairs though and play Clue though, that seems like the better option right now."

---

The Library
Klara was a bit confused as to why Avery had taken off like that so quickly, "Did I say something wrong or do something before?" she asked, looking at the other two, before answering Carolina's question. "Alright, aside from that not sure what to say since I mainly was having people helping me recover some memories and healing and all, though sense of time is a bit odd and sometimes I still mess up with that..." She wasn't exactly sure what to really say regarding anything else. To her, what had been going on the past while since she had seen them (somewhat, she doesn't even know when she met most of the people here still) is a bit of a blur still. Hearing of a tour though, that sounded like it might be fun. "Some introductions might be a good thing, so sure, let's do that then thank you."

Ed blinked a little confused about Avery's quick exit as well. "I'm not sure why. I don't think you said anything to offend them." Ed didn't remember that Avery had blown up Klara's eye. A whole lot had happened since then, and Klara's eye was fine now. It was unlikely she held a grudge anyway.

"Well, follow me, Caroline you're welcome to join too. You can probably help fill in the blanks with me. We'll start in the kitchen. There is almost always someone in there. And we can get something to drink and a snack as we swing through." Ed didn't know exactly who all Klara remembered so he figured he'd just introduce everyone as a clean slate. As he led the way to the kitchen Ed tried to think of other places people might be. Their rooms were an obvious answer, but he didn't like the idea of bothering people in their rooms so he hoped not many were there.

Bethany listened to Runa as she answered her question and smiled slightly she was glad to hear that Klara was doing a lot better now, and that her memories were slowly starting to come back to her. "Thats good to hear actually." Bethany said to Runa, it had been awhile since they had seen her and Klara last time she had seen them was when they were in an alternate reality. "We were in the kitchen and hanging out before you and Klara arrived, did you want something to eat or drink?" Bethany offered.

"Also if you two need a moment or something like that and catch up privately I can go if you want as well to." Bethany offered, she had a feeling that they wanted sometime to catch up privately as well to if Runa or Lance wanted her to go she'd do it. She was curious what everyone else was doing right now as well to.

Carolina looked at Avery as they decided to get up and started and they seemed to be nervous about something as she looked at Ed and Klara as she answered her question and smiled at her. "Thats good to hear i'm glad that you are doing a lot better now." Carolina said as she looked back at Avery once more and then Ed offering to take Klara out for a tour around the place.

"Actually i'll catch up to you guys in a bit, i'm going to see if Avery is alright." Carolina said as she started to stand up and looked at Klara. "You didn't say or do anything wrong at all, but i'll be back shortly. Also if you are hungry or anything help yourself to whatever is in the fridge as well to." Carolina told Klara. Carolina turned and started to follow shortly behind Avery to catch up to them, she would gently tap them on the shoulder and looked at them. "Are you okay Avery?" Carolina asked them.

Antoinette McCarthy

Skills: Running

Antoinette laughed when Guin suggested they needed to start charging. It wasn’t a terrible idea, but of course, it would defeat the entire purpose of the X-Men. ”Just imagine if we had one of those hot shot services. We could have a van with our faces painted on the side of it,” she joked.

Truthfully, it would be nice if the Asgardians were just stopping by for a visit. After all, they had been on several missions together and had all grown close in their own way.

Antoinette started to feel her legs burn as they ran. She had already been running before Guin and Pietro joined her, but she didn’t mind the longer run. It felt good to stretch her legs and be outside for longer.

Jaclyn "OfAll" Chreyz

Jaclyn was impressed.
So glitter was an actual thing with Klara, and that individual who came down the hall was her. Somehow, besides the shining orb, Jaclyn wouldn't have pegged her as the glitter, tackling-hug one. That seemed more. . .social and exuberant than the wordless, singularly-focused person who had gone past them. But then, people often didn't fit any kind of template.

She smiled softly to herself at this kind of lived reminder of such.

She'd noticed Mira glance in the direction of the library and Avery come out. Jaclyn felt something there, but nothing that was her business. She started walking in the direction that would take them downstairs. "So we haven't finished picking characters," she recalled, mind back on Clue. "It's been a while since I played. And there are different versions, aren't there? I forget who all there is."

Max paused as Perry had mentioned updating the Wiki later. He'd known that notable members of the X-Men or other such agencies had their own Wiki page. But he couldn't tell if she was being real or not. The idea of him having one, let alone anyone he personally knew, was strange to say the least. What things could anyone possibly have to say about him? Who would they ask? Would they have spoken to his parents? It'd been some years now since he last saw them, what would they say? He knew there was some coverage, at least on the Genosha side of things, as to him being one of the Heroes of Genosha after Sapphire's sacrifice and the X-Cutioner's horrid plan. But what was said in the Flat Scans news? A darkness fell over him as he became embroiled in thoughts about that and his old life with what was once his family, his blood, only managing to snap back out of it as Mira had mentioned going to play Clue.

Max looked up, seeing Avery at the end of the hall talking to Klara. His cheeks tinged pink for a moment as he waved meekly towards them not knowing if they'd even notice. ”Well obviously the best version is the ones based on the originals. Thing Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express. Pearls and Boas, dresses with flare and form alike, suits so sharp they could cut down Colossus. Don't have to be them to a T mind you, no need for a Professor Plum or Colonel Mustard, but a monochromatic scheme. Think of one color and embrace an outfit around it. For me I'm thinking Yellow.” He said just before snapping his fingers. Magic swirled around each of them, cosmic dust covering them head to toe as it changed their outfits into their new ones for Clue. Max wore a yellow suite, golden ear cuffs and rings adoring him as his hair was now more curled and swept to one side.

Fit Of The Day

Perry was excited to get the game going, but she had to admit she had been thinking of the Asgardians and their arrival. Given the luck the X-men had, it was probably not going to end well. Still, perhaps evil could wait until after the game, pretty please? Perry watched as Max gave out instructions and worked his magic, literally.

"Ooooh I love me a good ol' Agatha Christie murder mystery. Ok, if we are going old school clue, I gotta give it up to my girl Peacock. So I am thinking blue!" Once she had the image in her head, her outfit shimmered and changed into a beautiful 1920's style flapper dress. It was blue and black and perfect! Her hair was done up in a nice bob with a feather band. And a long pearl necklace to top it off.

"Oh wow! Nicely done Max! This is dope! Oh I mean, this is the bee's knees dahling!"

"It'd be perfect timing if it did - everything else already is," Guin commented a bit darkly. She had been doing her best to keep the thoughts at bay - to be the master of her own mind. It had been going okay that day for the most part, but like the wind, things could suddenly shift. And rather than feeling her mind distracted as she ran, it was like a gravity gripped her - as her father's betrayal came into her mind fresh again. He'd lied to her. He'd lied to her. He'd put her in the path of an abuser and he'd lied to her. And he hadn't even been there to tell her.

She shook her head slightly, reaching down and grabbing her right wrist with her left arm, gently digging in her nails. Not enough to break the skin, but enough as a subtle reminder, a punishment - to keep away from those portions of her mind, to focus on the present, to breathe.

---

Runa nodded at Lance's sentiments. She turned her attention to Bethany again, as Bethany seemed to be a bit more talkative. "Oh, I feasted at Odin's hall before journeying here - but thank you," she said politely. "Perhaps a cup of mead? I would not wish to be rude." There were certain rights held by guests after all - and with those came expectations.

Avery Spellman

Avery flinched slightly, expecting to turn around and find themself face to face with Klara, but instead, it was Carolina. The tension in their shoulders eased slightly. "That was... a little too awkward to me, after what I did to her," Avery admitted quietly.

They kept peering in the direction of the library, trying to make sure they saw if the goddess remembered what they'd done and decided to run after and curse them. They were so focused on making sure they'd see Klara coming that they completely missed Max waving at them. "I'm going to..." they paused again, trying to think of the least likely place a goddess would go to, "hide in the attic, if you want to come."

"Not sure if there is mead around here, but we can probably find something that works," Lance commented. Either that or figured that Runa would then just snap her fingers and they'd suddenly have the stuff. That wouldn't surprise him at all either way. He was just glad that Runa had come back to visit, even if the time difference between how they each viewed a year made things a little odd.

That thought was stuck in his head for a moment, since hew knew when he started a relationship with Runa if it went beyond dating and all, he knew she'd outlive him. Asgardians lived forever practically it seemed like, whereas humans obviously didn't. The thought left his head though, figuring not to dwell on that, before looking at the other two. "Let's head in then and see what we can find in the kitchen to drink or something. We can catch up a bit more and not just be standing around out here," he didn't mind that Bethany was there too, he didn't overly care about that sort of thing too much.

Pietro glanced over at Guin when she said her comment. He didn't say anything out loud, but he did respond to Guin mentally. Are you sure you're okay? Doesn't seem like it based on that comment...

Mira had to think for a moment on the different characters or well, more of colors, the characters themselves weren't exactly people or anything, she just remembered their names since at the end of the game you had to say which person you were making the final accusation for. Personally she would have preferred blue, which would have been Ms. Peacock, namely since blue was probably her favorite color. Max was obviously Colonel Mustard, so she had to think a bit on it. "I guess I'll go with green then, since I don't really like the colors too much of most of the other characters typical designs or whatever." With that, and Max's magic, she shifted into a green pantsuit and she sort of shrugged a bit.

Hearing Jaclyn make the comment asking about the other characters, she had to think about it. "Well. Depends on what version of the game you're playing. But let's start with currently whose who, Perry is Mrs. Peacock based with her outfit, Max clearly went for something based around Colonel Mustard. I've got Mr. Green, partially as stated I just went with a color I actually liked. Now there are a few others, however depends on which version of the game. So, the two unchanged characters that are still around are Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet. Now, the other two are a bit weird. If you played older versions of the game you have Mrs. White, however I think a few years back she got replaced with Dr. Orchid though. Plum, Scarlet and White, it is obvious what colors they are, Orchid not sure, think she's technically pink or something like that," she explained with a shrug.

"If you say so," Klara said, a little bit uncertain cause she very much was wondering why Avery took off like that. She did take to following along after Ed towards the kitchen. Though as they went along, they would see the group of Mira, Perry, Jaclyn and Max talking about something in the hall area nearby.
