[@Nallore]: Diana will notice a slight trail of glitter - this could possibly be from Cassie, as her costume had been covered in sparkles and whatnot. But also, it could be from something else entirely - this seemed like the sort of place where fairies and pixies would roam. 

	"I was here once," America explained with a grimace. "This asshole lady tried to put me on trial for punching holes through the Multiverse. Only stopped when Captain Britain turned up and made some sort of a weird deal with her."

	"Yikes," Kate shook her head. "Oh, shit, sorry, I didn't realize you'd come along." Her eyes widened slightly as Zelda popped up behind them. Kate had been pretty certain that Zelda hadn't wanted anything to do with them, but maybe she was just painfully shy and had trouble making friends. Or maybe she had just latched onto Diana. 

	"No idea," America then said to Zelda's question. "I got a D- in Intro to Magic last year."

	As an avid convention goer and nerd, Zelda would recognize the banners on the castle as they approached - this was the castle of King Arthur. The crests were of the Pendragons. It looked almost identical to how it had been depicted in [i]Merlin[/i] in fandom spaces. The castle gate was closed with two guards on duty, neither of whom seemed surprised for a bunch of lost teens to be approaching.

[hr][hr][/center]	April was riding a wave of bliss as the topic changed, Leah mentioning that she wanted to go and kick the ass of whatever lurked within Nimue's haunted house. Given her experiences in training, April was almost positive that it had to be some sort of horrible creature from Arthurian myth - or maybe a magic mirror that pointed out everyone's insecurities. But Leah was being so [i]sweet[/i], kissing their foreheads, proclaiming that once she was through with whatever was inside the house, it'd be safe. It made April swoon. 

	[color=42A9FF]"I know..."[/color] April sighed contentedly. [color=42A9FF]"She's always cute, but she's, like, [i]extra[/i] cute right now."[/color] 

	She was the last one to enter the haunted house, her blissful, romantic mood evaporating once she stepped inside. Somehow, she was completely alone. [color=42A9FF]"Leah? Sabine? Hello??? Guys, are you there? Can you hear me?"[/color] April called out. 

	[i]Can you hear me me me me...[/i] her own voice echoed. 

	April swallowed, even as she tried to keep a smile on her face. [color=42A9FF]"Okay, April, breathe. This is going to be totally fine and normal. Nimue wouldn't kill you, she wants to win the contest too. And it'd be, like, a total rude thing to do - it'd ruin the Monster Mash. So just breathe and don't think about the fact that you're in some sort of weird darkly light hallway and that everything feels so very very cold and you're wishing you were dressed as Frosta..."[/color]

	Her breath appeared in front of her in tiny clouds and April hugged herself, rubbing the exposed skin on her upper arm for warmth. 

	Her surroundings her monotonous and unchanging, each turn around the hallway ending up the same. The fact that she had run into nothing only caused her anxiety to heighten, her heart pounding desperately with fear of the unknown - with dread that nothing had happened yet - that something was stalking her, toying with her - [i]and that there was no way out.[/i] 

	[color=42A9FF]"Leah? Sabine? Danni? Dori? Mads? Anyone?"[/color] April called out again. [color=42A9FF]"Please, I don't like this - this isn't the vibe for tonight!! It's only fun getting scared if others are with you! And preferably all around me too, so I can't get stabbed in the back!!"[/color]

	Maybe Leah really had killed whatever was in here. 

	"I wouldn't count on it."

	She screamed, spinning around as she came face to face with Magneto. 

	[color=42A9FF]"G-get away from me! I'm warning you, I'll..."[/color] April's eyes darted around frantically. There was no water in sight. She couldn't feel any either. Her spit maybe? But this place was metal, she was a trapped animal, prey for this madman, for her grandfather... 

	"You'll what? Use your tears as a weapon?"

	Magneto glided forward, ethereally graceful. "I am going to kill you. But first, I need you to understand something." Magneto paused, removing the iconic helmet. 

	"You're not afraid of me. You're afraid of yourself." Magneto had long blonde hair, shaved on the side to a buzz. Magneto had blue eyes and a natural tan, and pierced ears. Magneto wore her face, just older. Magneto was her.

	[color=42A9FF]"No!"[/color] April screamed. [color=42A9FF]"I won't - I won't be like you!"[/color]

	Magneto shook their head. "It's too late. I'm already inside you... waiting to come out."

	The metal walls caved in around her, and April felt herself die. 

	When she appeared at the exit to the Haunted House, she was screaming, her sight blinded by tears.

[hr][hr][/center]	Percy frowned slightly. He felt comfortable in the school uniform. Yes, he could wear other things, but it was - well, it was reliable. He knew exactly how it would fit him, what angles would be best and what ones would be atrocious. It symbolized his commitment to a goal and helped him to distinguish his current life from the one he had lived before. [color=ed1c24]"My uniform is fine,"[/color] Percy argued. Zelda had even gone to the trouble of making a prototype that would shift to appear time-period correct when traveling, with its default state as the Academy uniform. 

	He knew that others hated the uniform, that they found it stifling and made it difficult to express themselves through fashion - and Percy liked fashion, he appreciated it. He owned nice clothes. But... the uniform was comfortable. It was safe. It gave him a sense of security. It was strange, how quickly he'd become attached to it. 

	[color=ed1c24]"I've never planned a party,"[/color] Percy said. [color=ed1c24]"But I am excellent at organization and schedules. My mothers had me plan our family vacation to Greece."[/color]
