[b][color=935DB8]Skills:[/color][/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color] [/center][hr]	Veil nodded morosely at Callie, returning her friend's hug. She still couldn't believe that Sapphire was gone, even with her ghost having been right there. It was all so surreal. They had missed so much - what felt like just moments ago had really been months ago. She wished that they had a way to stop time - or to reverse it entirely so that way they could save Sapphire. But in her gut, Veil could feel that this was all final. There was no undoing what had happened - [i]this was forever.[/i] 

	Sunshine rolled her eyes at Jack. Things between them hadn't exactly improved since coming to Genosha. She wasn't a huge feelings person and she wasn't a fan of expressing those feelings, so she hadn't explained to him why she was feeling angry - that she had actually wanted him to want to be her father, to fight a little bit for that right, but instead she was just passive aggressive - and sometimes just straight up aggressive towards him. [color=#DAF7A6]"Yeah, it's [i]very[/i] clear that you know fuck all."[/color]

	[color=ed145b]"Oi! Ne parle pas à ton père comme ça[sub]1[/sub]"[/color] Renegade snapped, her eyes narrowing at her granddaughter slightly. She knew that her granddaughter and son had issues - some of them warranted, others not - but she didn't want to see her granddaughter taking shots at him regardless. They were family after all. 

	Sunshine's French had gotten rusty since House of M, where the Scarlet Witch had made Sunshine bilingual. She was out of practice when it came to speaking it, but she could understand her grandmother when Renegade switched into French. [color=#DAF7A6]"I can talk to him however I fucking want,"[/color] she said defiantly, her eyes blazing with a challenge. She was daring Renegade to do something to her, to force her to be nice to Jack. She was also partially daring for Jack to escalate things, to turn this into a screaming match. 

	[color=ed145b]"Il est ton père - tu auras seulement un père. Cette île ici, elle est pour tous les mutants. C'est une renaissance[sub]2[/sub]"[/color] Renegade advised. Renegade had only been half paying attention to Zarina, as she was more concerned about stopping the brewing family feud, but she nodded at Miranda's suggestion. A change of scenery might be good for everyone - let them stretch their legs, see the sunlight, and whatnot. [color=ed145b]"D'accord, allons-y tout le monde[sub]3[/sub]"[/color] she said, motioning for everyone to follow her as she went to the door. 

	As for the ghosts, Ben nodded, looking a little bit excited that he'd have someone to talk to who wasn't Casper. Most of the ghosts that they'd meet tended to be pretty upset over their deaths, they weren't exactly great conversational partners. But now that he had someone to talk to, Ben couldn't really think of a good way to strike up a conversation. [i]"So... If you hate Hawaii, where's your ideal vacation spot?"[/i] he asked Sapphire. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Really, Ben? Are you trying to bore her to death?"[/color] Casper groaned. [color=DBA1DE]"Or do you just really not know how to talk to other people now? Have I ruined all conversations for you?"[/color] Casper asked, a hint of glee creeping into his voice. He liked having Ben's attention all on him sometimes - at other times, he found his best friend very annoying and wished that Ben would just leave him alone. Every now and then, they'd have a chat about boundaries, although it was rarely a productive one. 

	[i]"No, just talking to her and trying to get to know her,"[/i] Ben said, defending himself. 
		
	[color=DBA1DE]"Even Waverley's conversation about ghost Hawaii would be way more interesting!"[/color] Casper protested. He didn't know all too much about the afterlife - the rules always struck him as contradictory and inconsistent, ever-changing as if the afterlife hadn't [i]quite[/i] made up its mind on how it was going to work. Or maybe it just was different people perceiving it differently. He didn't know. It was only recently that he had gotten clean enough to even begin to ask questions like that - and he hadn't done it for curiosity, he had gotten clean for the love of his life, for James. 

	Casper pressed a kiss to James' forehead - he was the center of his universe. 

	[color=935DB8]"I-I'm fine,"[/color] Veil tried to reassure Waverley. She didn't feel fine, but she also knew that sitting in this room wasn't going to change matters. Doctor Nemesis gave her the creeps and she didn't want to get involved in whatever latest family drama was going on with Sunshine and Jack. That entire family seemed to have mental illness and being overdramatic in the genes in addition to the X-gene. [color=935DB8]"Let's go,"[/color] she then prompted, getting up but staying close to her twin. 

	[color=FAFD95]"Yeah, whatever, let's leave,"[/color] Havok said moodily. 

	Renegade then led them out of the hospital - it was about the same size as any other hospital, except everything looked brand new and state of the art. [color=ed145b]"This is the Emma Frost Memorial Hospital,"[/color] she said once they had gotten outside, acting the part of a tour guard. The island was [i]beautiful[/i] (ref. images: [url=https://static3.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/krakoa-feature.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=960&h=500&dpr=1.5]1[/url] [url=https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Krakoa-Xem.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=960&h=500&dpr=1.5]2[/url] [url=https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRe9NME2HmmeNqW2Cpw6YrLWDlmL5wzGBtiX6iifWrGYVotnkQbJqTXNsE5yG0b6YwK1a8&usqp=CAU]3[/url]). The sun gave the trees an almost pinkish red hue, with the grass a lush and vivid turquoise. The air smelled so sweet, it was easy to imagine that they really had died and gone to heaven. It was paradise. Across the way from the hospital was a smaller, yet just as sleek looking building. 

	[color=ed145b]"That there is the lab, Nemesis and the science types work out of it,"[/color] Renegade explained, gesturing towards it. She then directed them onwards, moving through the trees along what looked like a natural path, lined with glowing lights. The next structure that they came upon was a magnificent mansion that looked like it was made out of pure crystal, sparkling in the light and a little difficult to look at. [color=ed145b]"Hellfire Manor,"[/color] Renegade narrated, as they then went on an upward slope for a while, gaining and gaining in elevation until they came upon what looked like a [i]massive[/i] apartment complex, completely built into the natural glory of the island, not an ugly piece of concrete flooring in sight. It was as if the island had grown all of the buildings. And behind the complex was a massive, beautiful lake. 

	[color=ed145b]"Magda Memorial Housing Complex, ah'm in omega building, c'mon and we'll fetch your things."[/color]

	Veil was a little bit speechless and stunned. She didn't trust this place yet, but it was beautiful - and it felt so calm, so serene. She really wanted to believe in it, to accept that there was finally a mutant homeland - the thought made her a bit teary eyed. [color=935DB8]"James... Is this really happening?"[/color] she asked him softly, not caring if Renegade overheard. There were so many of them, they could take her easily she figured. Plus, Renegade seemed old. 

	Casper wasn't nearly as impressed, more focusing on his boyfriend than their new surroundings - it wasn't the first time he had woken up in a strange place, so he was more or less at ease. And of course, Sunshine was used to all of this by now. 

[hider=Translations] (French) 1 = Don't talk to your father like that!
(French) 2 = He's your father - you only get one. This island, it's for all mutants. It's a fresh start.
(French) 3 = Sounds good, let's go everyone [/hider]
