[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper Theriot[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/KvRwSCJZ/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=DBA1DE]Location:[/color][/b] Mutant Underground: Outside the Glitter Factory
[b][color=DBA1DE]Skills:[/color][/b] Mediumship, Acting[hr][/center]	"It's Hot Daga's, of course!" the person answered Callie, somewhat unhelpfully. "... You [i]do[/i] know Hot Daga, right?" they then asked, sizing her up. She didn't look like the typically barely dressed gay man that the mysterious Hot Daga liked to hang out with. 

	Casper glanced at Waverley as she said the name of the birthday boy - [i]Hot Daga[/i]. The name was definitely familiar. He stroked his chin as he tried to remember who it could have been. He'd partied at most places in the D.C. area, the only issue was that he was generally high as a kite or drunk as a skunk or [i]both[/i] during those events. [color=DBA1DE]"I think I do - Bennie Ben Ben, do you know?"[/color] Casper asked, looking at his dearly departed best friend, hoping he'd have the answer.

	Ben shook his head. [color=DBA1DE]"Shit, Ben doesn't know,"[/color] he grumbled. [color=DBA1DE]"Um well... I do remember that Hot Daga is bear sized and [i]very[/i] hairy - and his name was similar to... something with a Church? I don't know, everyone just called him Hot Daga, I think. Or maybe I'm imagining this and never met him, it's very possible as I was high as heeeeeeell,"[/color] Casper answered, singing the last part slightly. 

	The line was moving quickly, and it wasn't long until the group was up at the front. The bouncers let everyone move along in the group, they didn't even need Hot Daga's name, but the bouncers did end up stopping one person - Casper. 

	"What the hell do you think you're doing, Casper," the bouncer growled. 

	"You have a lot of nerve coming in here after breaking the boss' heart," the other bouncer added. 

	Casper stared at them with confusion. [color=DBA1DE]"Are you sure that was me? I sleep with a [i]lot[/i] of people who call themselves bosses,"[/color] he explained. [color=DBA1DE]"And I'm [i]here[/i] to support my dear friend Hot Daga on his special day! I'm not the kind of rotten friend to not show up. It's a special occasion!"[/color]

	[i]"You're such a convincing actor,"[/i] Ben commented. 

	The bouncers agreed with Ben's assessment. "Beat it, Casper."[hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=935DB8]Veil[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/qB2G1nnk/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=935DB8]Location:[/color][/b] A Block from the Eisenhower Building - Parking Garage -> Eisenhower Building - Lobby 
[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] Invisible Energy Manipulation [hr][/center]	Veil nodded, glad that the newbies didn't take forever to come up with mutant names. She didn't give any notes on whether or not she felt they were good ones - her own name was a play on her human name after all, so she couldn't judge, and Sapphire named herself after a pretty rock. [color=FAFD95]"Thundering Champion? That's almost as bad as Negasonic Teenage Warhead,"[/color] Havok teased a bit cruelly. [color=FAFD95]"We're really running out of names, huh?"[/color]

	Veil shot Havok a look - they didn't have time for this. [color=935DB8]"We're all going in together as a group,"[/color] Veil explained to Andy. [color=935DB8]"Glimpse and Stareyes are going to evacuate people out if things go south - they've got speed and flight on their side,"[/color] she finished. She didn't blame Thundering Champion for being a bit confused, it was likely the kid's first serious operation. Their plan was painfully simple and probably not the best, but they didn't have the time to improve upon it. Going in cloaked and doing what they could was just about all they had. 

	Her teeth started chattering from the rapid drop in temperature, as frost formed on the windows of the van. A popsicle car was definitely going to stand out, even hidden away inside of a parking garage. Veil closed her eyes for a brief moment, trying to refocus herself. She didn't get a chance to ask for Sapphire to take a deep breath though, as Havok responded to Sapphire's verbal assault with one of his own.

	[color=FAFD95]"Lighten up, Frosty,"[/color] Havok muttered, his own mood souring. The car was parked and he didn't want to stay in a meat locker, so he opened up his door and got on out. Veil stepped out of the car as well. [color=935DB8]"Guys, we can't afford to be fighting like this. If we don't work together, then this mission is already a failure,"[/color] she reminded them all. She kept the field of invisibility around them all still. [color=935DB8]"Now come on, let's move."[/color] 

	Once everyone was ready, Veil started walking down the block to the building. She maintained her field of invisibility around them all, although that couldn't account for the tracks they left in the snow on the sidewalk. They'd just have to hope that no one noticed those. They were incredibly lucky that no one was standing around outside the building to see the door seemingly open by itself, as the group went inside and entered the lobby. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.postimg.cc/W49hZLVD/image.png[/img][hr][hr][b][color=#DAF7A6]Location:[/color][/b]  Ronald Regan Airport 
[b][color=#DAF7A6]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][/center]	Sunshine didn't like letting people see her vulnerability. She didn't want them to think that she was weak, unable to handle herself. A day ago, it would have been unthinkable for her to let down her guard with Max, to admit to him that she didn't know what to do next. She had always seen a path forward but now, she felt like she was lost in the woods, fog swirling all around her so she was blind. [color=#DAF7A6]"Maybe there isn't a reason why he did it."[/color] She set down her milkshake, losing her appetite for the first time in her life. 

	She knew that humans didn't need a reason to hate mutants - the Hellfire Club hadn't needed a reason to kill Erg. Some people were just bad. Maybe it was overly simplistic of her to believe, but she did. She had thought that Max was just bad for a while. She didn't know if the same was true of Jack - if he was just a bad person and he didn't need a reason to do bad things. His father had been a bad person, so maybe he passed it onto Jack - and then, maybe Jack passed it on to her. Maybe she was a bad person too. Maybe that was why she always lost more than she gained. 

	[color=#DAF7A6]"Can't you teleport us the rest of the way there?"[/color] Sunshine asked him. [color=#DAF7A6]"Whatever. A bus is fine, I guess. As long as there aren't any Purifiers."[/color]
