[@Nallore]: "Where are we, America?" Kate asked, looking around suspiciously. It didn't look anything like the Maze/House, if anything, it was like a scene from a storybook. Their clothing and hairstyles had been magically changed too to match, like they were from D&D - Kate looked like a rogue, America like a cleric, and Diana like a ranger. "It's like we're in Baldur's Gate 10 or something," Kate added. 

	America nodded. "I think... we're in Otherworld," she frowned. "I guess that makes sense, Nimue's magic is from here - this place, it's where all those King Arthur stories are from, where they really happened." 

	"Love that for us," Kate sighed. "C'mon, if Cassie's here, she can't have gotten far."

	And so they set off down the brick road in the direction of the castle. [hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=42A9FF]April Flynn[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2b/0a/93/2b0a9358189229cfe46020b75a8fc358.gif[/img][hr][b][color=42A9FF]Location:[/color][/b] Monster Mash - Cafeteria

[hr][hr][/center]	The moment ended, and April left the stage with her girlfriends. [color=42A9FF]"Yes, we get to keep them!"[/color] she squealed. [color=42A9FF]"Some people have, like, entire display cases and stuff dedicated to crowns they win - it's like in Dance Moms, if you've ever seen that, where Maddie has like a GAJILLION crowns and has to find places to put them all?"[/color] There was no way she was going to give up her magic flower crown either. She was already mentally debating where to put it in her dorm room - it was basically a hoop, maybe she could loop it around her bed post, letting her look at it and have it double as decor? 

	But then the conversation changed to the Contest of Champions, and April's thoughts tore away from the award. She was super excited that she'd [i]finally[/i] qualified for the Contest, even if... even if it wasn't quite right. She did have her best friend on her team, yes, but her brothers were on a team together without her. And her girlfriends were also on other teams - everyone she cared about so deeply had qualified, they'd all have to fight each other...

	If she were being honest though, she knew that they didn't stand a chance against the Young Avengers - that none of them would win. 

	[color=42A9FF]"I'm really excited - it'll be so cool to get to compete in the actual contest this year, and it'll be huge for us in terms of exposure and opportunities!"[/color] April gushed. [color=42A9FF]"And it'll be good for next year, when we'll not only qualify again but we'll also have the ultimate dream team - where we can all be together in one group!"[/color][hr][hr][center][h3][b][color=ed1c24]Percy Novikov[/color][/b][/h3][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/5908331ec0b49a380a9c956f183679b4/3b2fd09da33ce029-24/s400x600/b3bf361ddcf40d23e95ba393968305ec799fe0c3.gif[/img][hr][b][color=ed1c24]Location:[/color][/b] Monster Mash - Cafeteria

[hr][hr][/center]	[color=ed1c24]"People have been setting people on fire long before anyone had powers,"[/color] Percy protested. [color=ed1c24]"All you need is a little imagination - and science."[/color] The discovery of fire had happened eons ago - most superheroes were a relatively modern phenomena. They hadn't used any special powers or whatnot to burn the witches in the dark ages. 

	But before Percy could info dump about all the ways he could start a fire without powers, Dorian redirected his thoughts elsewhere. He licked his lips unconsciously, as Dorian spoke about other ways to relieve tension - and then as his boyfriend's eyes went down, Percy blushed furiously. He had always been a little bit, well, prudish - self-contained, not prone to displays of affection. But that was not for lack of desire, for lack of want. He wanted to kiss the daylights out of his boyfriend. He just preferred to do so privately. 

	All of this was running through his head, as muscular Dorian dragged him through the crowds, the noise from the party at an all time high and causing people to have to shout over each other. They made it to Danni, and Madalyne and a girl Percy wasn't familiar with were both there as well. Percy gave the stranger a curt nod in greeting. 

	He shot Danni a glare at his comment about his performance, but held his tongue - for Dorian's sake. [color=ed1c24]"I'm sure they will,"[/color] Percy said dryly, as Danni was going on about whether or not the teachers would allow them fireworks.
