[color=935DB8][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A [/center][hr]	Veil's feelings about the X-Men were complicated and ever-evolving. There had been periods in her life where she idolized them, seeing them as the perfect mutant heroes, mutants who could demand dignity that humanity tried to withhold. At other times, they seemed like celebrities - superficial, fake, elite, and beautiful. [color=935DB8]"I'm frustrated with them,"[/color] Veil admitted. [color=935DB8]"They're supposed to care about mutantkind and work towards making a better world for all mutants - but it seems like they can't be bothered to descend from their ivory tower in Westchester when we need them. X was always asking us to do things, sending us little bribes so we wouldn't realize that we were expendable to him... If you don't wear an X, you don't matter to him and his child soldiers."[/color]	

	Maybe the X-Men were heroes - or maybe they were nothing. It didn't change the fact that when mutantkind needed them most, they weren't there. And given that they were led by one of the world's foremost telepathic talents, a man equipped with a machine that allowed him to connect to every mutant mind on Earth, it was inexcusable to happen once, let alone more than that. And it had. Xavier didn't care - and the X-Men were made in his image. [color=935DB8]"Sorry to get all political on you, it's just been weighing on my mind since... well, since what happened to the Morlocks."[/color] 

	They were outside the Green Lagoon now. Veil stopped, not knowing if Spark Plug wanted to continue this conversation or head inside. She then noticed Andy coming on out, looking slightly distressed. But before she could approach Andy, someone else did.

	[color=FF5733]"Are you alright, child?"[/color] Magneto asked, having come from the Grove as well. He removed his helmet, his silver-white hair blowing slightly across his face. [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]	Casper found Max's distrust of Selene a little funny, given how they had thrown their lots in with their former enemies, the Hellfire Club, on Genosha. It seemed to him like this entire experiment only really worked if people trusted each other, if they were willing to hand out second chances like candy, and have everyone work together. But then again, what did he know - he hadn't even managed to successfully graduate from high school, much less take any sort of political science or theory class. 

	Casper was distracted from whatever he had been about to blurt out when his very sexy lover came up from behind and tilted his head up into a kiss. Casper's eyes fluttered from the simple sweet gesture. [color=DBA1DE]"What plate, babe?"[/color] Casper asked, having already forgotten about the plate shattering incident. 

	[i]"The one you broke?"[/i] Ben pointed out.

	[color=DBA1DE]"Huh? Oh! Babe! Guess what! Ben is back! He's okay! He's not dead! Well he's dead but he's not dead-dead, you know? Like Echo didn't actually kill him forever, he just sorta... I don't know what he did but Ben is back!"[/color]

	Sunshine snickered slightly as Echo asked her why Northstar being an asshole was a good thing. [color=#DAF7A6]"Because I think you kinda want someone to step on you,"[/color] Sunshine explained bluntly. Echo didn't strike her as the sort of person who wanted to be in charge when it came to a relationship - and she could easily imagine Northstar calling the shots with a charming smirk on his face. [color=#DAF7A6]"I don't know how he tips, because again, money isn't really a thing here."[/color]

	"He was in the Olympics, got a gold medal and everything in some skiing event," Marrow said. "He's very... [i]fast,[/i] if you catch my drift." She then snickered a little bit herself. There were a few speedsters on the island, and, well... Let your imagination fill in a few of the dirty details and you probably have an idea of what Marrow was implying. "He is a speedster after all - and he can fly and I think shoot light beams."[hr][b]Hellfire Manor...[/b]

	"That's exactly what I want you to do, diapers need to be changed. As much as I'd love to boop these little devils on the nose and keep them from pooping, the shit has to go somewhere and it's better it goes out the correct end," Stacy X explained. "The other thing you could do would be to adopt one or more of the kids and show them a loving home, or hell, bully other people on the island into doing that - I'm not going to play mommy to these kids forever. I've got a life to live."
