Guin grimaced as she heard Hank's assessment of the situation. With viruses that Magneto had been developing for only a month at most, there was the potential for danger that Magneto had not intended. Assuming that the first virus had been released, they would need to create a vaccine for the second and an antidote for the first. In order to get a sample of the first virus, they'd have to be lucky. Hopefully, Magneto had samples of the first virus on site. She knew that the second had to still be there. Otherwise, she would be dead along with Cassandra -- Magneto would have already released them.

Did Guin find it a bit odd that Pietro couldn't remember the powers of the other mutants? Yes, she did. She was familiar with the abilities of her team - if they didn't know what each other was capable of, then they wouldn't really be a team. It left her with only two conclusions: either Pietro was clueless when it came to the inner workings of the Brotherhood or he was intentionally withholding information.

She liked him, yes, but she wasn't stupid. She knew that there was a serious advantage for Magneto if he could get one of his followers inside the X-Men's ranks. But if Pietro really was still working for Magneto, it wouldn't make any sense that he helped them at the Power Plant. Even if Magneto didn't want them killed, Pietro could have taken them all hostage. The only logical explanation was that Pietro had had a change of heart.

And, of course, that he didn't pay close attention to the other two mutants working for Magneto. Guin glanced at Carolina as the girl went limp. The mission was starting. Her team wasn't too bad: Marygold, Allison, Carolina, and herself. They'd be going down into the lower levels of the lab, while Cassandra's team was sticking to the upper levels. She didn't have any powers herself, but she had cheap tricks and cheesy one liners. They'd get her through this.

~remember, some of you were sent information as to what you know about the Mullo and Hel via PM a while back...~

Coventry Circus Grounds...

"Yes...The costumes are in the side tent to this one," Folly answered. "Hers was the red one with diamonds - you can't miss it. But it's possible they already burned it...I haven't exactly been around since the murder." Folly avoided Seraphina's gaze as she responded, instead looking forward at the mullo with sick fascination. While the others saw the mullo as an evil to be destroyed, Folly felt that she was staring into the mirror, beyond just the physical resemblance. She had the potential to become just as monstrous one day. There was a word on the tip of her tongue, yet she held herself back. It wasn't time yet.

As Seraphina attempts to access angel radio, she'll notice the significantly less number of angels remaining than in her time. It was as if they had been massacred and with each passing second, the signal grew a little fainter. The only strong connection she could feel was to a kumakatok - a connection that Daniyal would feel too. Daniyal could communicate with Seraphina of his own free will, of his own volition, even as his body was possessed.

Eudora will luck out, partially - she does have hawthorn. However, she doesn't have very much. There's less than a handful among her personal possessions. Whatever she uses it for, she'll need to be careful. Otherwise, it won't make much of a difference that she had it in the first place. Meanwhile, Aloise took a sip of the whiskey and coughed, her throat now feeling incredibly scratchy and hoarse.

"Not the lights," Aloise wheezed.

"Fucking hell," Jade cursed. The sounds of tires screeching can be heard on her end of the phone, though the call itself is dropping in and out. It's as if the signal itself is fluctuating and unnatural. "Listen, bub -- important that -- don't -- got it? -- in 10." And then, the line went dead. Should James try to ring Jade again, she won't answer this time. It goes straight to voicemail.

Luck is with Olivia tonight. Not only does she knock the mullo down, but the creature stays limp for a good few seconds. It then initially struggles back against the wolf, reaching to snap its neck. The damage that Olivia had done, unfortunately, was only temporary. It wasn't nearly as potent as the knife attacks. Millicent's blade once more finds its mark, leaving a long gash on the mullo's back. A strange black-blue liquid oozes from the cut, seemingly the mullo's blood. It's definitely starting to weaken a bit, as it takes it a few seconds before it charges at the easiest target in sight - Cecily.

"Hel isn't coming. She's already here."

Outside of Coventry...

Keep on looking down at the ground. It isn't just that everything in a perfect circle is dead - there's a strange emblem that appears to have been scorched into the Earth. It's similar to the insignia conspiracy theorists are fond of showing with crop circles and other supposed signs of alien visitations. But if this really is the result of an alien coming to Earth, where's the alien?

Of course, Carolina may remember some images from her sister's files. These would have been quickly hidden out of sight, but with the Battle of New York, it's hard to hide the presence of the God of Thunder on Earth. Similar symbols to this were burned into the Earth, indicating his arrival. If it really is the God of Thunder who has come, that may be just what Carolina needs, with O.M.E.N. chasing her down. But more importantly, it could be what the people of Coventry need to survive.

Yet of course, Thor isn't the only one who leaves marks like that in the ground...

Yet when the chill sets in, she is glad for the comfort of her deep purple robes, even adding in a fur lining to keep herself warm.

---

Psychology

Brave * Stubborn * Intelligent * Impatient * Curious * Lonely

Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Dating Cuyler Eysteinsson Single
Personality: From an early age, Arya has devoured any book that she could get her hands on. She absorbed information and was able to find connections that her peers were clueless to. As she grew older, her curiosity was hardly sated and she continued to learn as much as she possibly could. Where there were no answers to be found, Arya created her own understanding, determined to increase her knowledge and the Castle's knowledge of Magyk. Her intense drive has brought her much success.

However, she is by no means perfect. Arya has a lonely spirit to her, having lost one father to alcoholism and another to travel. She isn't the sort to make a lot of friends, yet she tells herself that she prefers it this way. Deep down, of course, that isn't true. She's simply too stubborn to admit it - and while her resolve helps her in some situations, it is her undoing in others. Her impatience can sometimes come off as rudeness and was what caused the accident that scarred her hand extensively.

Habits: Tapping her foot, bitting her nails when deep in thought

History

Your Path: Arya had wanted to do Magyk for as long as she could ever remember. Her mother was far more supportive of her ambitions than her father, as he was agreed to be a failed Sub-Wizard, and she was enrolled at the Purple School in the Ramblings. Most children in Magykal families were educated there, and after exposure to enough basic Magyk, Arya's eyes turned from a pale blue to a vibrant green.

She was just another hopeful at the age of eight, attending a banquet with her father at the Wizard Tower. Her mother had given her a variety of Charms as birthday presents, including a Chocolate Charm. She wasn't the only hopeful there, with all the Wizards bringing their children along. While the adults were talking, a fight broke out between two of the older hopefuls, resulting in one of them pulling a knife. The adults hadn't noticed just yet, but Arya quickly said : "Take me, shake me, and I shall make thee Quetzalcoatl's Tchocolatl." The knife turned to chocolate, effectively breaking up the fight, and her bravery caught the attention of the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. He offered her the ExtraOrdinary Apprenticeship and set her on her path.

General History: Arya was born to a Senior Alchemie Apprentice and a Sub-Wizard, Selesia and Marcus Rincewind. Her mother was always rather busy learning her craft and helping the other apprentices, while her father was often being shooed out of the way by other Wizards. Ironically, her mother was generally the one who Arya spent the most time with and adored, as her father tended to spend his days off playing Counter-Foot tournaments.

She adored Magyk and learned the basics at the Purple School in the Ramblings, walking from her little home on Alchemie Way. She was seven years old when she learned enough for her eyes to turn green, and at home, her mother would teach her the basics of Alchemie. Wizards and Alchemists didn't always get along, despite improving relations over the last few centuries, but Selesia wanted to ensure that her child could use the two in harmony.

At age eight, Arya left her home on Alchemie Way behind and began her apprenticeship with the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. It was an honor for her to be chosen and she couldn't have been more thrilled. It was no secret that the ExtraOrdinary Wizard knew the best and most advanced Magyk, more than most Ordinary Wizards would ever dream of.

Blaise Rowland, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard at the time, was like a father to Arya. They grew incredibly close throughout the years, as he taught her everything he knew about Magyk. They spent days up in the Pyramid Library, debating and discussing theories with one another. And while all Apprentices were guaranteed one month of vacation a year to visit their families, Rowland often came by the Rincewind household for dinner during that month. He was practically a member of the family, even attempting to encourage Arya's father to try harder in order to become an Ordinary Wizard.

It was when Arya was promoted to Senior Apprentice that her father left the Castle. There were rumors that he had run off with a trader and gone to the Lands of Long Nights. Other rumors said that the man had gone Darke and headed for the Badlands. Those rumors ceased when he was found dead at the Port, having died from alcohol poisoning. Arya's mother, an Alchemist in her own right, threw herself into her work, taking on another Apprentice. And despite not being very close with her father, it was hard on Arya as well. Studying Magyk and talks with Rowland were what got her through it.

She became the latest ExtraOrdinary Wizard when she turned twenty. Her mentor had decided he had had enough with being cooped up in a tower all day, wanting to travel the world before he died. He was, at that point, rather old. Arya still writes letters to him, but she is extraordinarily busy, as all ExtraOrdinary Wizards are.

Thoughts on Queen Meliscente:

Arya was indifferent when it came to Queen Meliscente. Like so many members of the Royal Family, Queen Meliscente thought that Magyk was weird and dangerous, unless it suited her. No matter how much Arya or Rowland tried to persuade her otherwise, the Queen didn't budge in her beliefs. Arya gave up on the idea that she would ever work with a queen who understood Magyk and would treat it with respect by the time she was a Senior Apprentice.

But that doesn't change Arya's belief that Queen Meliscente was murdered. While the attending physician claimed it was a mere illness, Arya felt the very faint aura of Darke Magyk when she saw the Queen's body. With a Witch Princess about to be crowned, it's enough to make Arya more than suspicious. It is her duty to Queen Meliscente to figure out what caused her death - especially so if Princess Valda, ultimately, had something to do with it.

Location: Mournweald Estate (London)

There was a sly glint to Beowulf's dark eyes as he waited in impatient anticipation for the Lady Crypt's answer. There was an almost predatory like quality to him as his eyes were unflinchingly locked on her. The only outward signs that he had even heard Ernest was the tightening of his muscles and his jaw clenching. No one would stand in his way of getting what he wanted right then and right there. But, of course, life always liked to throw curve balls.

His gaze suddenly snapped up when he felt the scorching heat and saw the blinding light out of the corner of his eye. He let out a growl as he was forced to retreat and right when the Lady Crypt was about to state her decision!

Everything that happened was so sudden and had caught Mosi's family by complete surprise. Her family was also forced to pull away to the edges of the distance that the head was barely possible to stand. This was not something they had heard about and the moment the pyre's fire finally ended the confusion was complete." What the..." Mosi's father uttered, his gaze locked onto the now frost covered former blazing white inferno.

"Are... those arrows?!" Ernest asked, noting the way the ashes had spread out, then took a look at the parchment at Virginia's feet." Did you drop that... Lady Crypt?"

Virginia held up a finger to signal for a moment's pause. She first felt the heat still present in the air. While it was not as painful as it had been before, it was not the chill she expected to produce frost. At this temperature, the water should be in the liquid state. There should be no frost. She frowned deeply, wondering exactly what might have caused such an event. Then there was the matter of the arrows, formed from Mosi's ashes. She took note of each direction they pointed in. It would have been appropriate to have some device with her to measure the precise angle, as well as a sketch pad. Unfortunately, she lacked both at this moment.

"No one is to disturb the ashes," Virginia said. "To examine the paper itself...A mixture of alcohol and glycerin should do. Glycerin itself is found in fats and oils. What sorts do you have on hand?" Virginia asked. She slipped on a pair of gloves before bending and gently picking up the burned paper. She didn't dare risk having it disintegrate before her eyes.

No one from the servants in the Mournweald estate dared to approach the ashes even without Virginia's warning. For all of them what had happened was both incredible, meaningful in ways they didn't really grasp and really fearful.

"We have fish oils and animal fats for cooking and the like. Would those do?" Mosi's father asked.

Unlike the others, Beowulf was not the least bit interested in figuring out what had just happened. No, he was always more focused on his own selfish interests. "Who cares about that peculiarity? Surely, the safety of the Viscount Wenwynith is more important at the moment. Now, what is your answer Lady Crypt?" he basically demanded.

Virginia kept her finger held up, as if that was a suitable answer to Beowulf. For Alfred, however, it was anything but. He was holding the young Viscount at the moment, in an attempt to keep him away from being scorched by the flames. Yet even now with the fire extinguished, he still hadn't let go of the young boy. He frowned at Beowulf's remarks. He hadn't been in earshot initially when Beowulf gave his terms, but he realized that there was one thing the man likely wanted more than money.

"You do not have to do this, Virginia," Alfred said sternly, calling her by her first name. Despite having practically raised her, he had always called her Lady Crypt or Lady Virginia. Master James was a staple, though when James was older, it was likely that his title would change in Alfred's mind as well. "Whatever danger Master James is in, it can be overcome without dealings with men like the Talinks."

"Ginny? What's going on?" James asked, looking at his sister with confusion. He didn't understand the terms of the deal that his sister had been given. He was too young to grasp what motivated people and influenced the choices they made. Virginia looked at James with a sad smile. There had been no word yet from Dame Hale and with each minute, she felt the danger growing.

"Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc," Virginia said to her brother. As much as she wished to believe Alfred that they could surmount the danger without aid, she knew it was not the case. If she had to become a black widow for the sake of her brother, then so be it. She had long been fascinated with unnatural deaths and enjoyed studying them in the basement laboratory. She would be able to find a way out of the marriage with the Talink boy, one way or another. "Do not fret, dear James. Mr. Crane, those oils should do nicely. Please do fetch them." She paused, yet she did not turn to face Beowulf. "I accept those terms."

"Of course, Lady Crypt." Ernest replied and witheld his frowns at the Talinks. Frankly he was sure his daugther would have already jumped them if she had heard this demand. She was probably going to be throwing her axes or firing arrows at the man until he's gone from her sight. It just made him feel bad about Mosi again. He regretted not being able to do his fatherly duty and protect her.

A devilish smirk of satisfaction and ill intent came to Beowulf's features. Finally, his evil scheme was set into motion, and the rewards of this marriage between the Talinks and the Crypts would be fruitful. Or would it? He was too pleased with himself right now for any form of doubt to cross his mind. As far as he saw it, no one would dare try to undermine his plan, and even if they did, he would easily take them down with a bullet to the head or a knife to the gut. But what if the person who saw to his demise was his own flesh and blood? There were so many questions, but he had no desire to entertain them. No, he wanted to relish in this moment of victory.

"Excellent choice, m'lady," Beowulf replied smugly. He then spun on his heels and began to walk away without another word in typical Talink fashion. Unbeknownst to him, Thalcona didn't budge. She was uncharacteristically quiet throughout the "negotiations." Truth be told, she was in shock, but as the shock wore off, it was replaced by a gnawing feeling of guilt. She should have put a stop to this, but what was she to say? Her father wouldn't have listened. She didn't like any of this. She felt bad for both parties, the Crypts and Thalken. Oh god, Thalken was going to lose it.

Thalcona let out a shuttering breath, glancing over at the young viscount and then at her father who was departing. "Father, I can take first shift to protect the viscount until Thalken can come and take over," she exclaimed. Her voice was oddly monotone as she restrained her emotions. Beowulf stopped and looked over his shoulder at her. He pursed his lips then gave a curt nod in agreement before leaving.

"Have fun with Thalken!" Thalcona called out, disdain leaking into her voice. She then promptly faced the Crypts. Her eyes were dark and brooding but not entirely uninviting.

Some minutes later Ernest returned with the oils. He could have asked the servants, but he felt like doing it himself. He couldn't do anything else anymore for Mosi beside gather her ashes which he was going to do personally again. It was his little girl after all." I brought the oils." He said as he returned to Virginia.

Once outside of the shop, Maeve took Lady Kirkpatrick's arm. She was beginning to see less and less why Lady Kirkpatrick needed anyone to help her. She was as stubborn and tough as they came. She noted the look Lady Kirkpatrick gave Rory and felt even more confident in her assumption. This job was mostly for show. As soon as she could, Maeve figured, Lady Kirkpatrick would be rid of her. Why have help if you didn't need it, after all? She couldn't help but wonder how long it would be until that happened - hopefully, it'd be enough time to get her job done to the Cummings satisfaction.

"I can 'andle them quite well," Maeve said. She had trained in the usage of a shillelagh and had one among her belongings. She never left home without it. She didn't elaborate much on it, figuring that if Lady Kirkpatrick wanted to know the details of her fake past, then she'd ask. Only lies had details anyways. She held back a sigh as she saw Calum getting chased by one of the cooks, all of her irritation with him coming back. She might have been poked and prodded for hours, but that didn't mean she still wasn't bothered by the earlier situation.

Strange New Waters - Concluded

@BlueSky44@FantasyChic@mnkee@Nallore:

Hey guys! :) I have a quick favor to ask of you all. As you've likely surmised, we aren't going to have a direct sequel to this RP. While we still have a lot more story left to cover, there is the question of which RP I'll be running next. The Seven Deadly Sins is a spiritual sequel to Abandoned Hope and Horrors of Coventry, so that one will happen once Coventry concludes. I also have some plans in the works for RPs inspired by Marvel Comics and Sword Art Online, but those won't be hosted after Strange New Waters in order to make sure they won't contradict events in X-Men: Darkness Rising (since that RP is only in its first arc of about five).

This leaves two potential RPs that could be hosted once Strange New Waters concludes. They're both about equal in the planning stages, though I've only written up the official OOC description for one so far. I'm curious to see which one intrigues you all more:

Option A: Darke Magyke, A High Fantasy RP

In a world similar to our own in many ways and entirely different in many more, there stands the Castle. Located in what is known as the Small Wet Country Across the Sea, the Castle's walls were constructed to keep the Darke of the forest at bay. Witches, werewolves, and other creatures had been preying on the Castle's inhabitants, stealing children in their beds and causing many tragedies. But with the construction of the moat and the One Way Bridge, the citizens could rest easy. They, and their Queen, were safe.

Hotep-Ra introduced Magyk to the Castle, creating marvelous sites such as Wizard Tower and Wizard Way, as well as teaching those with magykal talent to hone their skills. Magyk is much more than science that we do not yet understand; it can be studied, it can be harnessed, and it can be used. With the ExtraOrdinary Wizard leading the Ordinary Wizards, there was peace in the Castle and prosperity. Witches, werewolves, chimeras, and the like were kept at bay. Trade that came in from the Port brought unknown treasures, decorating the Long Walk of the Palace.

But in a world where Magyk is real and vibrant, the problems we face become only more complex. The eldest daughter of Queen Meliscente, Princess Valda, was CradleSnatched by witches when she was very young. And while Queen Meliscente had other children, it was only recently that her eldest child was rescued and returned to the castle, over a decade later. There was much celebrating that MidSummer Feast Day, as Valda became the Crown Princess, next in line for the throne. The Royal Family of the Castle, with the throne inherited by a matriarchal system, had long been loved by the people.

Or of course, so it seemed. Under a month ago, Queen Meliscente had fallen extraordinary ill, with no Physik or Magyk being able to revive her. She had been on a trip to the Lands of Long Nights, meeting with in order to discuss trade and relations before the Big Freeze set in. While her subjects were informed her death was caused by an unfortunate illness she caught on her trip, some believe that Darke Magyk killed the Queen. Among them is the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Arya Rincewind.

But amongst this Darkenesse, life goes on. They grieve for the loss of their beloved queen, but Crown Princess Valda will become Queen soon enough. Her Journey, a rite of passage all Crown Princesses undergo once their mother has passed, has been completed. Witch Covens look on with apprehension at Valda's impending coronation, knowing that Valda's Coven will gain immense prestige with a Witch Queen on the throne. Young children still flock to Wizard Tower, little hopefuls just dying for ExtraOrdinary Wizard Arya to catch a glimpse of them and appoint them as her Apprentice. Alchemie slowly grows more and more influential in the castle, with now four Alchemists working in Alchemie Way. Scribes craft new, elaborate Live Maps that reflect the movement of each being within the Castle walls.

Yet make no mistake, my dears. Something wicked this way comes.

Option B: (Working Title) Victims of Altsoba High - A Mystery/Supernatural/Horror RP

I haven't written out the official OOC description for this one, so it's not as detailed as for the above. The essential premise is that in our RP universe, the pagan deities and such are on the decline. Or so it was thought. While some of them, like the Norse goddess Hel, have been locked away, others escaped eons ago and are living in other dimensions, other realities, other worlds.

But while these are deities, there's always one theme in each mythology: they have (a lot of) children. Sometimes with other gods and goddesses, sometimes without another parent, sometimes with humans or even other species. These children have certain powers and gifts. In order to train the new generations of gods in our RP universe, academies are set up in different host planets. Every thousand years or so, the host planet changes, in order to be equal.

Our story begins with the academy being on Earth. After the Altsoba Massacre, the land in Altsoba is incredibly cheap and virtually uninhabited, so the academy is constructed there. Your characters are the offspring of various deities from just about any mythology you want. Minor deities can also be used - but for example, you wouldn't be able to use Zeus as your character - but original characters are preferred.

But of course, not every god out there is happy with the current state of affairs. The first born is preferred over the second born. The handsome and strong are preferred over the quick and intelligent. No one wants to play second fiddle. The young gods and goddesses at the academy end up trapped there, told by an unknown being that if they want to leave the academy, they need to get away with murder. Otherwise, they're stuck there for eternity. There's no way out of the school and no contact with the outside world.

Eyes: Caramel brown
Hair: Warm brown
Skin Tone: Tanned
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: None
Personal Style: Lizzie tends to have a little bit of a punk vibe to her, with a splash of the 80's. She likes having her hair up and as curly as possible, though it's naturally a mess, so it doesn't take too much work. She wears big broad rimmed glasses, despite having perfect vision. As for clothing choices, they tend to be darker colors. On a day to day basis, she loves a good pair of jeans and a black turtle neck. But when it comes to combat, it's a lot more practical for her to have as much exposure as she is comfortable with. Her main weapon is the deadly toxin her skin produces, so short sleeved shirts and fingerless gloves are the way to go.

Psychology

Intelligent * Blunt * Brave * Strange * Creative * Opinionated

Sexuality: Sapiosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:Despite what her codename may imply, Lizzie is not insane. Instead, it would be more accurate to say that she is incredibly sane, to the extent that she can appear to be alarming or disturbing. She's so smart and clear headed that she's frightening at worst, creative at best. Everything she believes makes sense, but sometimes it's the logic of a philosopher compared to a normal person. It doesn't always make complete sense at first, sometimes not until a while later.

She's also incredibly independent. She spent a long time in the service of others and has decided to fight for herself now. She tried hiding in the shadows and doing things the way of the X-Men for a long time. She tried to fit in, but society didn't accept her. It used her. So since it treated her like that, she decided to abandon it. In some ways, her actions can be seen as selfish, but she's incredibly loyal and passionate to her cause and those she cares about. She just shows it in her own funny way.

History

How did you discover your powers: Lizzie's powers developed around when she was four years old. The official story was that her parents died in a murder-suicide with an unknown cause, though it was suspected to be financial problems. It wasn't until she was on her third foster home and yet another foster parent went homicidal that Lizzie understood what was happening. Anyone who had physical contact with her experienced hallucinogenic effects. These effects only grew stronger the older she got, but at a young age, enough expose to them was enough to turn innocent individuals into murderers.

Why did you choose the side that you did?: Humans had been exploiting Lizzie for the majority of her life. While some of them claimed to care about her, it always ended up revolving around what she could do for them. They never cared about her, but more importantly, Lizzie realized that they'd never accept her. The Brotherhood of Mutants would accept her--she could have a real chance at having a family with them. It wasn't that hard of a decision to make.

General History: Lizzie was born in New York City to a mild mannered couple: her father was a dentist and her mother taught engineering at a private, albeit small, university. They were the picture perfect family, until her mother killed her father and then committed suicide in their apartment. Her aunt and uncle were her designated guardians, but after a day, they took Lizzie to the orphanage, claiming that she was possessed by the devil. This pattern continued with various foster homes, with Lizzie never staying longer than a month and sometimes only for a day.

She eventually grew a reputation for herself among foster families as a she-devil. Her foster parents typically ended up committing murder or being killed themselves, relapsing into addition, or being institutionalized - that is, if they tried to ignore the rumors and care for the girl. These rumors eventually attracted the attention of a New York City Crime Lord, Delilah "The Undertaker" Camelio. Delilah had been searching the streets and children's homes for mutants. She had found about two, with Lizzie being her third.

The idea was to train the children into becoming her enforcers. There was a boy who could fly and a girl who was a human lie detector. Delilah had a doctor on retainer, Dorothy Pender, in order to see to the care of the mutant children. She didn't want them to treated at any hospitals and in Lizzie's case, treatment was difficult - physical contact had to be limited. As the mutant children grew up, they began to specialize in different roles. Lizzie was used as muscle originally, as it was hard for people to fight back when under her effects.

However, Delilah realized a better use of Lizzie's powers. Provided that customers were already in the right mood, Lizzie's powers were often the equivalent of an intense acid trip. Delilah began to sell hits of Wonderland, eventually becoming one of the most popular designer drugs in New York City. And all it required was a bit of physical contact with Lizzie. Her body produced the toxin naturally.

Lizzie stayed with Delilah and the others until she was nineteen years old. Her "brother" had been gunned down in the club and in the resulting chaos, her sister, Max, had fled. While she thought of Delilah as her mother, Delilah became cruel and belligerent, searching for more mutant children to groom. Lizzie started to hate her adoptive mother and when Magneto came searching for a mutant called Wonderland, she was more than happy to sign up.

✿/☯ Magneto ✿/☯
"He isn't our Martin Luther King...He's our Malcom X."

Lizzie has a great deal of respect for Magneto. While mutant figures like Charles Xavier are content to coexist in a society that cannot help but abhor mutants, Magneto decided to take a stand. His methods may seem extreme to some, but they're just what mutants need. Sometimes, progress needs a little bloodshed to proceed. In the fight for mutant rights, it's a price Lizzie is willing to pay.

---

✿ Richard Laine ✿
"Adder."

While it may not always appear obvious, Lizzie considers Richard to be a friend. It amuses her, certainly, how he avoids flirting with her due to her powers, though it would have grown annoying quickly if he kept attempting to touch her. The pair of them are a bit of a dynamic duo in the Brotherhood, often paired off together. They work well together - unlike, say, Richard and Wanda. That would end in disaster.

---

✿ Wanda Maximoff ✿
"A bewitching individual."

Lizzie and Wanda get along surprisingly well. Given that they both have mental powers, the two of them sometimes train against each other. For Wanda, the challenge is working through the hallucinogenic effects of Lizzie's primary power. And for Lizzie, it's overcoming Wanda's more powerful illusions and attempting to strengthen her illusions from her own secondary power.

❦/☢ Othello Boyavard ❦/☢
"They say family members are often more likely than strangers to murder you."

Lizzie's relationship with Othello may appear complicated, yet it is rather simple. Although he is older, she looks at him like a little brother. He's a bit odd, yes, but she's protective of him nonetheless. That doesn't mean that she likes him. In fact, he irritates her. Alice in Wonderland has been her gimmick for a long time - and now, he's going around acting like they're some sort of themed set. Had she known about this, she would've gone by LSD.
