[color=B1C1EB]"I am sure you will all serve Genosha well,"[/color] she said, in an attempt to reassure Spark Plug in particular. With the Summer Table, the heroes of Genosha, now seated, Reeva commanded the attention of the room. [color=B1C1EB]"The Marauders have been dispatched to replenish our supplies and should return by sundown this evening. We've solved the physical problems from the attack... as much as they can be [i]solved[/i],"[/color] Reeva paused, doubtlessly thinking of the 198. [color=B1C1EB]"But we still have a threat to Genosha that must be addressed - the emotional and spiritual trauma. Our people have lost their hope and we must restore it. I'm open to suggestions from any table on what we can do,"[/color] Reeva finished, before taking her seat once more, her eyes sweeping over the rest of the Quiet Council. At the Autumn Table, Magneto was silent - emotions were never very much his area of expertise. In the past when the Brotherhood members had a crisis of faith, he had used force and fear to 'inspire' them into action. Selene was twirling a strand of her hair around her left index finger, before reaching underneath the table and grabbing... [i]a human skull?[/i] No one seemed to say anything, even as Veil's jaw dropped. [color=CDC0CF]"His name is Nick Damiano, dear,"[/color] Selene said, sensing Veil's confusion. [color=CDC0CF]"He's my emotional support skull."[/color] Veil was fully convinced that Selene was insane - she reminded her of a popular DC Comics character, Harley Quinn. It baffled her that no one else here seemed to be concerned? She glanced at James and Callie, very clearly non-verbally asking them if they also found this weird as hell. [color=8E6BB3]"How about we give them drugs?"[/color] Sinister suggested, completely serious. [color=8E6BB3]"We could even turn them all into Hounds. A mind-controlled citizen is a happy citizen after all."[/color] Polaris' eyes flashed. [color=A9F8C7]"No!"[/color] she said firmly. [color=A9F8C7]"They're fucking people, we're going to treat them with dignity. It'll take time, but morale will bounce back, we just have to be patient and committed."[/color] Sinister smiled sickeningly at her. [color=8E6BB3]"How's Havok, by the way?"[/color] Sinister asked. [color=3D5DC3]"Perhaps we hold a gala,"[/color] Esme Frost suggested, cutting off Sinister and Polaris' conversation. [color=3D5DC3]"Let everyone dress up, hire Saucier to cater, have dancing and fireworks and music,"[/color] Esme said. [color=3D5DC3]"Jumbo Carnation's here, I'm sure he would design for us if we asked, Fashion Week isn't for a few months."[/color] [color=CDC0CF]"Oh, I love a party!"[/color] Selene said, clapping her hands together. [color=CDC0CF]"A fetish ball will lift everyone's spirits. Perhaps we can even invite some of the humans, make a day of it,"[/color] she suggested, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Irene directed her gaze directly at Selene, although she didn't say a word. [color=B1C1EB]"... That's actually not half bad,"[/color] Reeva said, looking a little surprised. [color=B1C1EB]"Shall we vote then on the proposal? All in favor of a Hellfire Gala, raise your hands..."[/color] Veil hesitated for a moment. She didn't know if a party was going to really help things - but then again, maybe it would. Maybe a night of fun and dancing would boost the island's morale. It wasn't like it would be that very day anyways, it seemed like the sort of event that would need at least a week's worth of planning. Maybe the change of pace would do everyone good. And it was hard for her to see the harm in throwing a party. Veil raised her hand, voting in favor. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=DBA1DE]Casper[/color] & [color=#DAF7A6]Sunshine[/color][/b][/h3][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] the Green Lagoon [b]Skills:[/b] [color=DBA1DE]Mediumship[/color][/center][hr] Shockingly, ghosts were capable of crying - everyone's kind remarks caused Ben to get teary eyed, as he wiped away his ghostly tears. [i]"Tell Max thanks, I'm glad to see him too - and that he's looking cute today,"[/i] Ben said. [i]"Tell Echo for me that Ghost Hawaii is boring compared to Ghost Vegas. And tell Jack his butt is looking cute today."[/i] Casper crinkled his nose, mostly at that last comment. [color=DBA1DE]"Eww, Ben, that's gross. I get why you think Max is cute, but Jackie? Really? He looks like someone put a hot dog through a taffy stretcher machine thingy and glued on some Mr Potato Head eyes!"[/color] Casper protested. [color=DBA1DE]"By the way, Max, Ben says you look cute today - and Echo, he says Ghost Hawaii sucks ass."[/color] Ben sighed slightly, more or less used to Casper's less than stellar translations - it was one of the worst parts of being a ghost. He could only really communicate directly to Casper, unless Casper had conjured him. [color=DBA1DE]"Soooo anything fun in those cards?"[/color] Casper then asked, a little bit curious about Max's tarot cards. Casper had grown up in New Orleans and had gotten a few tarot readings done, as it was very much a French tradition and French magic had a home in that city, particularly in the French Quarter. [color=DBA1DE]"Can you do a reading for me?"[/color] Casper then pressed, easily distracted and now fixated on the subject of tarot. Sunshine pulled away from the kiss with her wife, raising a bit of an eyebrow at Andy and Zarina. Those two were being awfully quiet - well, not really Zari, Zari seemed to be incapable of shutting up. But she wasn't saying anything that anyone else could understand. So Sunshine, feeling still a bit raw from everything that happened and eager for a distraction, decided maybe it was best to pry a little bit into those two. [color=#DAF7A6]"So, are you two friends or...?"[/color] Sunshine trailed off. "Babe, you can't just ask that," Marrow said, chuckling lightly. [color=#DAF7A6]"Well too late, I just did, so spill the tea you two,"[/color] Sunshine requested. [color=#DAF7A6]"I heard Magneto adopted you both basically, so you're sisters or...?"[/color] she trailed off again. It reminded her slightly of something one of her cellmates in juvi had been obsessed with - some show where two characters who were very much in love and dating were suddenly declared to be cousins.
