She'll have to replace her laptop/books/etc.

[*]Sabine - Trick - someone hacked Sabine’s socials and put up some disgusting, bigoted content pretending to be her
[*]Andy - Treat - Magneto sends her a gift, it’s a pair of vambraces that fit her perfectly, they’re made out of an unknown material and can deflect bullets and the like 
[*]Zari - Treat - On Halloween morning, Zari also gets a present from her family. It’s an enchanted tool belt. Whatever tool she needs if she reaches for it, it’s there
[*]Leah - Trick - After the Monster Mash when Leah returns to her room, there is a postcard on the wall from Oslo. Written on it is her birth name. Nothing else.

[/list][/hider][hr]	As Leah and Sabine left, off to complete their hero's mission, Darius placed a cautioning hand on his husband's shoulder. "You cannot change things, Percy," he murmured in Nemo's ear. "Remember that."

	Nemo nodded slightly, drawing up his weariness around him like a cloak. "How could I forget?" He still saw their graves when he closed his eyes - he still saw the ashes he had scooped by hand into those empty caskets, the stones he had carved by hand to mark their resting place. 

	Darius pulled him closer, pressing a kiss to his forehead. "The White Witch is watching, lover."

	"Let her watch, then. I have nothing to hide."

[@Nallore]: A haunted young man with shock white hair and pointed ears was currently feasting on Diana, his mouth soaked with her blood. The more he fed, the more intoxicating and relaxing the sensation became - her logical mind would realize that this was likely some sort of chemical reaction from the bite, a mechanism to keep the victims from struggling, to allow them to resign themselves to the fate. There were runes on the wall, scratched into the wood by hand - runes that Diana didn't recognize, but would fill her with a sense of dread. 

Then the door was kicked down. 

Then an arrow landed in the face of her attacker, of the vampire spawn Astarion, forcing him to retract his fangs and pounce at Kate, hissing. 

But she shot another arrow and another, cool in the face of death, in the face of danger - in the face of the twenty other vampires in the room. 

Needless to say, Cassie wasn't there. And Buttons was mysteriously gone. 

[@Forsythe]: Vicky's messages had gone unanswered, the admins not responding to her pleas, to her requests for help. Unbeknownst to her, Hope wasn't in this plane of reality at the moment, off on an adventure in the Microverse. And Rhodey, Rhodey was in a top security intelligence debriefing, one where all electronics had to be removed from the room. They would see her messages later. But the teenage rebellion had already begun. 

[hider=Roll Results]1) Roll to disable the VEIL protocol. ->> [i]I set this as DC 18, seemed appropriate, Vicky rolled a 14, with bonus you get enough. The VEIL protocol is disabled.[/i]
2.1) Roll to find out if the admin orders even have overriding power (I never made the decision lol) ->> [i]nat 20, so Vicky can find this out, and she can determine that admin orders do have this power.[/i]
2.2)If the admins can override Vicky's free will per previous roll, attempt to disable that function ->> [i]I set this also to DC 18, Vicky rolled a 10, so not there. Unsuccessful. This will, for drama and stakes, leave a 'breach log' sort of thing - a trace that she did try to do this, so Hope and Rhodey will find out later.[/i][/hider]

[@BlueSky44]: America grimaced, struggling against the vines that were ensnaring her, crushing her, but the only became tighter and tighter the more she fought. There was no mercy to be found in King Arthur's court, certainly not from Merlin. And it was then, ironically, that Zelda would notice something - would notice a small jar on a stone table in the back, about the size of the jar the rose was in in Beauty and the Beast. Within the jar, pounding her hands, was a miniature Cassie Lang - her voice soft and muffled as she screamed, trying to get their attention. 

"A child of the false gods," Merlin murmured. "And a being of magic."

"It's true - I'm from the Utopian Parallel, it's this, like, lesbian magic dimension," America explained. She did cast a bit of a side eye at Zelda, since the entire goddess explanation seemed a bit confident, and with the skunk streak in her hair, she couldn't help but be reminded of the famous mutant Rogue. 

King Arthur stared at Merlin for a moment, before nodding, a dark smile on his face. "My apologies. Release them."

Merlin snapped his fingers, the vines vanishing. 

"As for your friend... I am afraid the only ones I know of who travel through portals are Morgan's witchbreed spies."

[@Blizz][@PatientBean]: This time, they were not separated. 

This time, they found themselves in what appeared to be a hedge maze in the dead of night, their breath fogging up before them from the bitter chill. An owl cried from somewhere near by, the moon lighting up their otherwise dim surroundings. And then, there it was. The cry of the shadow, of the other. The cry of fear, of terror. 

The howl of the wolf. 

The scream of [i]Marrok[/i]. 

Something was coming. 

Something was chasing them, the size of a small house, with vicious claws and gnashing teeth. 

A wolf, a werewolf, a beast - just names, nothing that truly did justice to their opponent, to the heart of Nimue's magic. It towered over them, its eyes glowing bright red. Rather than attack Leah, it went for Sabine - it snatched her up in its claws, opening its jaw wide, clearly ready to devour the princess whole.

[hr][hr][/center]	April's body was numb, as Mads helped her to her feet - as Mads asked her if she was alright. She wanted to say that she was fine, that everything was fine, that no one needed to worry about her and they could all go back to having a good time - that it was the best night of their lives and she had ruined it, yes, but it wasn't [i]completely[/i] ruined. Gods, she had ruined it though, hadn't she? Leah had gone through so much trouble to come out and have a good time, and April had made a fool of herself, had had a complete meltdown. Her fear and panic and terror was mixed now with a vicious undercurrent of shame, of embarrassment - of a wish that she could bundle up the emotions she didn't want and toss them all away, to control her mind and her body and her soul completely. 	

	Dorian would struggle to become corporeal, managing it only on the second attempt, and feeling drained. 

	April visualized the words, visualized saying them - saying [i]I'm fine[/i] - but her tongue felt thick, felt swollen. The most she could manage to do in this fugue state was to squeeze Mads' hand - a sign to let her know that she was okay, that she was still in there, that she was just... April didn't know what she was. Terror then struck her suddenly. Magneto was inside her. Her family's illness then was inside her. Perhaps this was it. Perhaps this was the beginning of the end for her sanity. 

	Then Danni came down, sweet, gentle, kind Danni. 

	And something about seeing him made the tears flow once more - made her sobs start off again, racking her entire body, as she almost collapsed on herself, as she almost fractured, almost shattered, almost died a little bit one more time. 

	Percy was luckier. His unconsciousness was brief, his body stirring as his eyes flickered, before opening once more, straining against the sudden light. The last thing he remembered, he'd been teleporting April back to her dorm room - probably a farther distance than what was really needed, but he'd been wanting to do the right thing, been wanting to do right by Dorian, really, to show his boyfriend that he was dependable and able. 

	Slowly, Percy rose to his feet - his body felt like it had gone through an entire marathon he hadn't been prepared for, every muscle, every joint, every bone aching. He felt like he'd been hit by a bus, like he'd been drowned on the Titanic, like he'd been stranded on the Moon and left for dead. And above all else, he was hungry - his stomach constricted, crying. But he'd tend to that later - he could find some snacks for his hunger.
