She had worked as a bartender a bit after graduating from Xavier's school and prior to joining up with the Mutant Underground - so naturally, she appreciated the intergalactic brews available for them tonight. And with how conversations were going, plus the fact that Selene had waltzed on up, she figured she was going to need to get at least [i]heavily[/i] buzzed to get through the night without getting a migraine from stress. [color=935DB8]"I'll show you where I got this from - and get myself something new to try,"[/color] Veil said, standing up from the table. "I'll take something strong - otherwise, surprise me," Marrow said, having finished her beverage. She was planning to gradually but steadily increase her alcohol intake as the night went on, allowing her to get to her desired stage of black-out drunk ideally around 3AM or so. The more she drank, the later she found she was able to stay up anyways. [color=#DAF7A6]"Make that two mystery drinks!"[/color] Sunshine piped up. She wasn't old enough to consume alcohol in the United States, but they were on Genosha. Silly human rules like that didn't apply. Sunshine also didn't care if people were worried about how her brain would develop - there was probably a mutant out there who could repair any damage she could do. Hell, she was pretty certain that [i]James[/i] could do so. She was feeling like a princess in her dress and she wanted to get drunk. The alcohol options tonight were way better than what the Green Lagoon usually had anyways. [color=CDC0CF]"Might I recommend the absinthe? It's divine,"[/color] Selene said, snapping a finger and a chair instantly pulled up for her and she sat down. One of her powers was telekinetic manipulation of inorganic matter - though most people knew her for being a psychic vampire. [color=CDC0CF]"Oh child, it's not too interesting of a tale. I would much rather hear about what you [i]youths[/i] have been up to - and why your [i]leman[/i] seems to have a hatred for French toast?"[/color] Casper wanted to sulk slightly, hearing James' request for Max to fetch the two of them water, but he was pretty much instantly distracted by Selene's fit. Her fascinator was completely [i]fascinating[/i] - a moon symbol with an entire array of ostrich feathers. The sculpturing evocative of the triple moon, the black blue gradient of the fabric, the tasteful skin that was shown... Casper was instantly in love with Selene's outfit. If he had had cards in front of him, he would've been giving her 10's all the way across the board. [color=DBA1DE]"Damn, Jumbo outdid himself,"[/color] Casper whistled. [color=DBA1DE]"How's all of the metal bits not just falling off of you?"[/color] Casper asked, thinking more about the design and structure of the dress now than the fact that Selene was Andy's mother. [color=CDC0CF]"My mutant powers, of course,"[/color] Selene answered. [color=CDC0CF]"I am holding this dress together through sheer force of will. Of course... A suitable distraction might find me suitably undressed,"[/color] she then added, giggling a bit at her own joke. Ben got up from the table. Selene gave him the creeps. He wasn't a ghost anymore, but she had eaten enough ghosts that he wanted to steer clear of her. She was so incredibly sinister and campy that most people seemed to have let their guards down around her, but Ben wasn't so trusting. She was up to something - he just had no idea what it was. [i](Of course, Ben had also blushed slightly when Max invited him to go with Spark Plug to get a drink. He had to get better practice at hiding his emotions, he had gotten too used to just showing it all with Casper).[/i] David was staying relatively quiet. He was picking up on the tension Selene's arrival had caused, and he was curious as to what exactly was going on between her and Jack. If Selene was Andy's mother, who was she to Jack? [color=f7941d]House of M Table - [/color] Magneto listened to what Miranda had to say. He didn't agree with her, but he listened. He didn't interrupt. And she didn't give him a chance to respond before she walked away. If she turned her head to look back though, she would notice that the pocket watch that was part of Magneto's outfit had been crushed into a tiny wad - no doubt through his magnetic prowess. He was angry. But he didn't go after her. He let her go - for the last time.
