	David nodded, smiling at Harry. "Got it - well, whenever you want to tell her, I'd be happy to be that third person - unless, you wanted to have one of the clones be your third person," David teased. "We can stay here as long as you like. I wish I could say time moved differently, but I'm really bad at remembering things I've read, so I haven't really been able to compare the times... Also I have a terrible attention span," David laughed a bit, before ruffling up Harry's hair. He was so giddy. He'd never been this close to someone before - he had never imagined that someone like Harry would even be remotely interested in someone like him. 

[b]The Green Lagoon...[/b]

	"What do you want?" Marrow asked instantly. She smirked ever so slightly and Sunshine rolled her eyes, shoving her wife playfully. [color=#DAF7A6]"Be nice,"[/color] Sunshine insisted. There was no denying that Sunshine was incredibly happy whenever Marrow was around. She had spent her life searching for a place to belong and for someone to belong to, and she finally had it, here on Genosha. She felt safe and loved. The only tragedy was that not everyone she loved was there to experience it - that brought a certain hollowness to Sunshine's smile, a terrible grief in her eyes, the weariness of her young soul. 

	[color=#DAF7A6]"What do you want, though?"[/color] Sunshine then asked a bit bluntly. She didn't mean it in any sort of aggressive or anti-social way however. She just tended to be a bit blunt at times, for better or for worse. Here, she was pretty certain that Callie had come over to ask them something, especially as Sunshine could see Veil heading on over to where Echo and Legion were standing. [color=#DAF7A6]"Did something happen? Does someone need their ass kicked?"[/color] Sunshine then asked, her eyes narrowing a bit. 

	Meanwhile, Blob had been pulled away due to the lunchtime rush - but had mentioned that he was, in fact, at least roughly familiar with graverobbing. Apparently Magneto had made him do it once before, back when he worked with the Brotherhood. There was a certain sadness in Blob's eyes as he talked about that time in his life - perhaps as he dwelled on the person he had once been, back when he hadn't had another choice, another option - back when society had pushed him onto that path of violence. 

	Veil had walked on over to Legion and Echo, raising an eyebrow at the two. [color=935DB8]"Hello? Harry? David?"[/color] Veil called out. She tilted her head as there was no response. Veil waved her hand in front of their faces - [i]nothing.[/i] They were still breathing, so she was fairly sure that they weren't dead. She wasn't panicking - not yet, at least. This was probably some sort of weird psychic thing that was going on. If her brother was in trouble or getting hurt though... 

	No, Veil decided that couldn't have been the case. She took Harry's pulse. He was calm, relaxed. And breathing normally. [color=935DB8]"Are you two mind fucking? In the middle of the Green Lagoon?"[/color] Veil then asked, huffing slightly. [color=935DB8]"I don't know why I asked that. It's clear you can't hear me. And now I look like I'm insane... Great..."[/color]

	Then suddenly, Legion began to move. "Oi, luv, get your bloody hand out of me face," Legion said in a thick Cockney accent, his posture changing entirely, his hands going onto his hips. 

	[color=935DB8]"What have you done with my brother?"[/color] Veil then asked pointedly. [color=935DB8]"Undo it, whatever it is, or I'll go get a telepath who can."[/color]

	"I'm not the one doin' it, so I can't - sorry, luv," Legion said with a shrug. "Davie's the one in charge of the telepathy."

[b]Outside the Hospital...[/b]

	The receptionist looked almost sorry for James and Casper. "He's, uh... He's having a moment... But... He's in there," the receptionist then said, getting up and heading over to a door. She knocked on the door and opened it. "Doc Nemesis? You've got some people here to see you about--"

	Nemesis then darted out of the room, wriggling vines attached to his head where his hair should have been. The top of his head was somehow see-through as well - to Casper, it looked like glass. Casper's eyes widened and his jaw dropped, as he realized they could see Nemesis' brain through the glass dome, and that the wriggling plants seemed to penetrate the dome, burrowing into the fleshy pink orb. [color=DBA1DE]"Uhh... Is that... I don't want to be rude and be like, why do you have a snake-weed-brain thing but.... why do you have a snake-weed-brain thing?"[/color] Casper asked, absolutely gobsmacked. 

	Casper then put his hand over baby Daniel's eyes. He was pretty sure the baby didn't need to see whatever was going on with Nemesis' head. Casper debated covering his own eyes as well, but decided against it. He'd seen a lot of weird shit in his life - at least half of it, he had to admit, likely something he had hallucinated but still, he'd seen some things. 

	"Science, my dear boy!" Nemesis exclaimed. "Now, what the devil do you two want? Does your baby need an X-gene grafted onto it?" he then asked. "I have a viable sample of gamma level telepath if you're interested - just strong enough to catch the vibes of what someone's thinking, excellent for learning social cues, but not enough that they can [i]really[/i] get under the hood and tinker around with the brain."

	[color=DBA1DE]"Uhh.... We're here for, like, uh... medical files?"[/color]

	And as if on cue, poor baby Daniel started to cry! :( 

[b]The Rebuilt House of M...[/b] 

	Magneto nodded at Andy's question. [color=FF5733]"You may practice anywhere here in the House of M - if you wish to practice elsewhere, there are designated areas at the Akademos for young mutants learning about how to better utilize their powers... even those that are considered dangerous,"[/color] Magneto explained. [color=FF5733]"I would recommend investing in a rubber suit - and perhaps avoiding sparring with Rain Boy for now,"[/color] he then said, the smallest twinkle of a smile on his lips. He was amused with his own little blunt joke. 

	He then fell silent, listening to what Valkyrie had to say. Magneto had given up on religion a long time ago, so talk of Asgard and whatnot didn't bother him. [color=FF5733]"Hmm. Remarkable. It goes to show the power of mutant genes, that we can combine with the gods... Well, we [i]are[/i] gods - the gods of the Earth. Humanity would do well to learn that."[/color] But he more or less took Zari's words at face value. After all, his daughter Wanda had a lot of nasty business with the god Chthon, it wasn't the first brush with the divine someone in his family tree had had. 

[b]Blackstone...[/b]

	Oh, this little witch lair wasn't just ANY ordinary witch lair. It was Selene's lair, complete with her personal copy of the Darkhold. The book would have a draw to it almost, as if it were whispering into Jack's mind, tempting him to open it up and read. But if that wasn't interesting enough, Jack would see a photograph of him placed on the altar, along with what had been a lock of his hair. What the hell was Selene doing with that? The photograph was covered in dust, so it clearly hadn't been used in a while, but still... weird, right?

[b]Hellfire Bay...[/b]

	"I'm older noooooow! What's it mean?" Mongoose asked. She was mildly interested in learning about that word, as everything else was pretty boring so far. She didn't get why grownups insisted on talking about boring things all the time, instead of cool things, like sea witches or zombie dragon unicorn fairies. Mongoose looked around the scenery as they walked, dragging her feet ever so slightly. She was already bored out of her mind. 

	"Eh, been better - Flower Child's having a hard time sleeping since it all happened, so naturally, I haven't been getting much sleep at all," Renegade admitted. "She's playing with a friend right now, thank god, because I needed a break. Sooo naturally they put me to work, yay me... What about you? How's Erik?" 

[b]Wales...[/b]

	Pixie's wings fluttered as she stepped lightly on through the portal. Once through, she spread her arms out and flew upwards in a spiral, greeting her homeland with an ecstatic squeal. "Ugh, I know I can go home whenever, but I still miss this place every time," she admitted, coming down to hover a bit above the ground. She wiped a few tears that had formed away. "Ooo, California rolls, my fav. How'd you know?" Pixie teased, before popping a piece into her mouth. "You're fucking talented, Max," she then said sincerely. 

	Pixie then paused, looking out at the landscape again. "I know I'm supposed to help you with something, but I gotta ask... Do you ever, like, feel like there's something else inside of you? Something scary?" Pixie asked, turning her pitch black eyes to look at him. "Like you're, like, cursed or something?"

[hider=OOC Note - the Ritual]You can use a magic ritual of three to attempt mutant resurrection, provided you can recover their body. You will only be able to bring back [i]one[/i] mutant at this time. At the conclusion of the RP, you may attempt to resurrect other mutants. [i](I will say that not everyone will be resurrect-able, so you'll have about 2-3 resurrections allotted to you.)[/i]

Select who you would like to attempt resurrection on and let me know on the Discord - I think the easiest thing to do would be to collab the resurrection ritual and post it as the 'end' of this chapter.
