[b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color][/center][hr]	Casper nodded, trying not to freak out too much about Ben - the last time Ben had been missing it had been because he was high as a kite, shutting off his powers. He had no reason to think that the others were wrong, that Ben wasn't just in ghost!Hawaii telling Sapphire about all of the tea she had missed. Fortunately, there was another weirdness to deal with - James was bending the knee to Magneto and acting like he was a king? [color=DBA1DE]"Uhh, did I miss something? Since when did Genosha become a monarchy?"[/color] Casper asked. He was used to missing important details or just straight up forgetting them, so Casper assumed at first that he somehow had missed that Magneto was the king here - James had been here much longer than all of them. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"What are you doing to him?"[/color] Casper then asked, looking concerned as Moneta put a hand on [i]his[/i] James. Casper hurried on over, doing his best to look mildly intimidating, but he had the physicality of a noodle so it didn't really work much. [color=DBA1DE]"I don't know if there's like, spouses rights here on Genosha, but I def have them so please tell me what you're doing - or if you're like just giving him a friendly touch on the arm, it's hard to tell."[/color]	

	[color=935DB8]"I'm fine,"[/color] Veil told Callie, speaking honestly. She hadn't lost much that day - she had been lucky, with Aurora saving her before any fall could have killed her. She smiled slightly, seeing the sibling reunion between Kristina and a stranger, but her eyes widened in alarm as she realized James was talking about Magneto as a king. She didn't remember the House of M world herself, but she had heard enough descriptions of it. It was like James' memories had somehow reverted or been corrupted. [color=935DB8]"I think he's remembering the other world,"[/color] Veil explained. 

	[color=FF5733]"What other world?!"[/color] Magneto asked, angry and flabbergasted at the same time. No one had ever hailed him as a king before. He saw Maria's arrows briefly aim at him before a young mutant embraced her, and Magneto flicked his wrist, sending the arrows flying up towards the ceiling where they embedded themselves firmly. [color=FF5733]"We do not have time for this nonsense, while you all have been standing here entertaining delusions, our nation's founders are at stake. If Reeva or the Three in One were to be captured, imagine the cost we will pay."[/color]

	[color=CDC0CF]"I'm actually rather interested in this, Erik,"[/color] Selene chimed in. Everything was unfolding like some sort of soap opera that she had entered in halfway through and she couldn't decide what thread to pull. Did she tug on the glitch in the universe happening with Champion? Or did she pursue more of this other world talk, where somehow little Erik Lensherr was a king? Things hadn't been nearly this interesting in [i]ages[/i]. It made this entire island experiment worth her time. 

	"Same?" Pixie squeaked out a bit timidly. 

	It was a good thing no one was looking at Marrow, since she was doing a horrible job at even trying to look surprised. Sunshine had told her everything about the other world - they were two queer women who got together and got married super quickly, they had swapped mind blowing secrets practically on day two. [color=#DAF7A6]"Is this really relevant? We should go find Reeva and the Three in One,"[/color] Sunshine interjected. She didn't want to think about that other world and the perfect life she had there. 

	She had been angry before about Jack abandoning her, but her life had made her the person that she was. The little cajun girl in New Orleans, that wasn't her. That wasn't the person who would've gone on to marry Marrow. And she couldn't imagine a life without Marrow in it. 

	[color=CDC0CF]"Oh, they can wait. It took more than a moment to kill Caesar, it'll take at least five to kill them,"[/color] Selene said, brushing Sunshine off. 

	Casper, ever the impulsive individual, promptly more or less blurted the answer to those questions. [color=DBA1DE]"We were trapped in this other world made by the Scarlet Bitch, sorry, the Scarlet Witch, where we were all really happy. Except we were all really fucked up? Like a lot? Anyways, you were the king, Magnet Man, and all of your messed up kids were royalty. Humans were just generally kinda shat on."[/color]

	Polaris, still freshly traumatized from the death of the baby she had been carrying, had no idea at all how to respond to that. She acted on the first impulse that came to mind a moment later, using her powers over magnetism to yank the arrows out of the ceiling, and shot them towards Casper, all of the arrows surrounding him in a near perfect circle. [color=A9F8C7]"You can shit talk my father, but leave me out of it,"[/color] Polaris warned. 

	"... I'm so confused..." Elixir murmured.
