October nodded in agreement. She rather liked Annie and if her wife ever wished to pursue some sort of arrangement there, she would have had no complaints with it.
“Yes, a dance would be lovely,” October said, little bits of fire dancing along her finger tips. It happened from time to time when she was truly excited.
“As for the Royals… Probably everyone and no one. It’s all just empty words, rather boring if you ask me… I like my Royals with a bit more bloodshed. Perhaps even a decapitation!” Pietro nodded at Guin, giving her a bit of a smile as he went over with her to where Allison was with Oshea. Though Oshea gave Allison a sort of confused look on his face, like he had no clue what it was that she was going on about.
"...Of course he's here Ally, he's kind of the king of the world you know... Literally... Are you feeling alright? I'd suggest taking you home but usually leaving a party is a bad idea." "Yeah, I think my parents would consider that to be a bit rude, or at least my father anyway... Nice to see you again Oshea, always nice to run into someone else who can almost keep up with my speed," he said with a slight smirk, and Oshea shook his head slightly at that, chuckling a little bit.
"I can understand having issues with your powers not working under pressure... As for approaching my parents well... Recommendation honestly don't approach my father if you can't help it, he generally is not the nicest person around at all... If he approaches you and starts conversing with you, then you are fine and be sure to stay respectful to them, otherwise no way. My mother on the other hand, she's a lot calmer of an individual and likely would be very kind to you if you approach her. I'd wait a few more moments to see if the pair do separate and give any sort of gifts to them then... Or just find one of the servants who are running around, I'm sure they'd be happy to give the gifts to them on your behalf," Flynn said, nodding his head in response to Max's questions.
Jack glanced over at his brother a bit confused about what the hell he was going on about.
"...Uh, Casper? What the hell are you going on about?" he asked his brother, just giving him a strange expression. To him, his brother was acting really really weird, even weirder than he normally acted, so this gave him another question that was sitting there in the back of his mind, and he lowered his voice somewhat so no one else could hear him really.
"Casper did you come here high or something? Since none of what you are saying makes any sense and sounds like rambling." Gambit sighed slightly, wishing that his sisters would get along, but he had given up any realistic hope that that would happen a long time ago. Chrysi and Mary’s similarities began and ended with the fact that they were physically identical and had the same power set. At least Chrysi hadn’t argued when he asked her to leave the room, that much was a nice way to begin the evening. He had decided to ignore Jack’s brother for the most part - it usually was the best strategy. Nodding at Anastasia and Richard, Gambit stood up at his seat at the head of the table.
“Mes amis - et les autres…” he began, speaking in fluent French.
“Nous avons de la chance aujourd’hui!” Taking a stack of packets from in front of him, he sort of tossed them towards the middle of the table, letting anyone take one.
“Le garde rouge a un object très cher et rare - le Diadème d’Athéna.” He held up an image of an elegant crown with a citrine gemstone.
“Ça, c’est au complexe de Baton Rouge. À demain, on le vole. Mais aujourd’hui, on commence les répétitions. C’est clair? Il y a des questions?” Jack took one of the packets that Gambit had tossed onto the table and started flipping through it.
"...Let's see odds of getting another babysitter by tomorrow are slim... Guess I'll have to see about calling Val to watch her..." he muttered, though Casper was the only one really close enough to hear his words when he said that.
"Nous devons donc obtenir le diadème d’Athéna, ce sera certainement une chose amusante, c’est certain. Cela me semble un travail assez facile si vous me le demandez," Mary said fluently, looking around at the others in the group. There was one thing that currently concerned her at the moment, and that was that Chrysi had left way too easily. Usually she argued or fought, making a bit of a scene, but for once she didn't do that, so she wondered where the hell her sister was going. Knowing her luck she was going to go on a bit of a murder spree up above.
"Remy, je crains que Chrysi ne se lance dans une nouvelle série de meurtres..." she said softly, looking over at her brother.
"Ya oughta give your sister more credit, mon amie, ce n'est pas grave - je suis certain."
"I can hear what you are muttering to her Agent Reed," he said, before he made sure that they were out of earshot from anyone else,
"And unlike you Abercrombie, I'm a decent observer who knows when to play along and keep my mouth shut, and Reed at least had the brains to do that, so use your brain. Or are all you one of those SHIELD types who have none. Not sure how you two managed to keep your heads in all of this, but you need to keep on your toes and try to blend in as much as possible. Unlike me it obviously sounds like you both have no idea what it is you're doing, or what your lives are like. Listen and adapt to the situation, see what we can do. And we might have to see about a Hulk jailbreak at this rate, if anyone involved actually believes a word we say. The other problem being I think trying to fix the world is going to take a lot more than just the three of us." Wolverine said to the both of them, basically hoping that they got the whole picture about everything. If they didn't then there was going to be more than a few problems.
"Abercrombie, keep your head down especially, to everyone else here you are literally nothing. Mutants are the majority and anyone who isn't is a second class citizen. Do you get how everything works now? Magneto is literally the King of the entire freaking planet and I have no idea what happened to cause this, but we have to adapt and see about figuring out what is going on. I actually know what my life is like in this world, and since you two don't you better learn fast." Meanwhile, back with where the others were Mystique did not seem too thrilled at the idea of sending Tinley to go try and read minds and talk to people.
"Until Abercrombie can prove that she can be helpful and not trying to be better than she actually is, she is not going to be involved with the group going to go deal with those within that house." "I can go, since if they did try to run I could just stop them in place rather easily, at least if Dr. Banner isn't in the building. If he is there, then there are a whole slew of other problems that we have to deal with, namely a rampaging Hulk. Though I will say this, the girl is human, so she's likely a lot easier to potentially kill, so why don't we just go in and threaten to kill her if the boy doesn't cooperate? Would just make life so much easier if we went about things that way." "Novikova, Bautista, Kingston, Clarke and Smith, you five will go in to see if you can get the young Banner to cooperate without any problems, and to see if Dr. Banner is within the house or is off somewhere else, if he is in the house, come back here immediately and we'll see about coming up with a new plan to deal with the Hulk." "So what's the plan?" Wolverine asked, walking back over.
"A small group is going to scout out the house in a way and see if they can end the situation swiftly without us having to fight the Hulk," Mystique responded simply as she went over to the controls to see about doing a sweep of the house for life signs, figuring it was worth a shot to double check that.
"Cool, sounds like fun to me," Sapphire said, as the jet touched down on the ground and they were nearby the house it would seem. She lowered the ramp of the jet and turned to look at the other 4 who were called,
"You all coming?" she asked as she walked off towards the house. It wasn't too far from where they had landed only maybe a hundred feet or so, and it was easy for the group to get to the door.
"Well don't know about you all but I'm going to knock and see what happens," she added, there was a little bubble of cold air around her, as Sapphire always had hated the heat, and she knocked on the door.
Lance laughed slightly at Runa, returning her hug with a smile.
"Glad to hear that, so, how are you doing this morning?" he asked, before he gave her a kiss.
"You sound awfully happy to see me, almost like you didn't expect me to check up on you." He was glad to see that she was awake, and was happy to see her all happy somewhat early in the morning.
There was the sound of what seemed like to be an engine outside, it was strange, it was at least a 20 minute drive out to the main city, and his dad hadn't left too long ago, a little bit before nine maybe. So there was no way he'd have been able to run those errands and be back now. As if to double check the time, he glanced down at his watch, and sure enough it was only 9:30. So what was that sound? No one ever came out to their home aside from Runa, especially since his father preferred to be sort of isolated and away from crowds as often as possible. This wasn't making any sense.
"...You heard that engine too right?" he asked Runa, before he let go of her.
Then came the knock at the door, and he glanced at Runa with a confused look, before he shrugged and went towards the front door. He glanced out the window, seeing some weird ship he'd never seen before and a group of people heading for the front door. This was definitely weird, and he unlocked the front door and opened it up just a little bit, enough for him to just be able to peek out the door.
"...Can I help you?" he asked.
