The Lost Boys | Investigations

Billy and Tommy hit up the public library to learn something about the weird symbol they say in the magic 8-ball. They need to work on their teamwork a bit.

( Why should William Kaplan get what he wants when he can make a total fool of himself instead? )

Later, they are rebuffed by a local fortuneteller, but slip away with something potentially useful, anyway.

( Your life line is broken in two. Both of you. )

Clea, Kyle, greenhouse

Kyle and Clea discuss a second greenhouse, just for magic plants.

( Everything I know about magic comes from reviewing terrible YA novels, or being cursed a few times. )

FOOD

The festival was great. I require more food.

But ALSO if you were there I probably got at least one photo of you, so let me know if you want it! I have some great shots of people eating. Yes I know no one looks good when they're eating. I'm just that amazing as a photographer.

The Lost Boys | A Chance Meeting

An uncannily familiar stranger shows up at the Kaplan residence and is magically invited in as family.

( Are you a mutie, dorkface. Cause I can’t do mind shit like that. I would know. )

Things only get spookier after dinner.

( You blow things up. I make weird things happen. We've had the same dreams. Something's connecting us. But what and why and how? )

The Lost Boys | Search and Rescue

The X-Men raid a black site "research" facility experimenting on mutant prisoners.

Cyclops and Echo search for and free the inmates.

( The more I see places like this, what they'll do, the more I start to wonder if Magneto wasn't right. )

While Rogue and Dust provide a loud distraction.

( Looking worse than sheep on a shearing day. )

Legion assists Phoenix with medical care for the injured, and the gruesome scenes reawaken something long-hidden in Jean.

( As far as he was concerned, none of the staff deserved a fully intact skeleton. )

Madin and Dazzler download the research data and evidence of the real crimes.

( They were the X-Men. Someone would be screaming. )

Mission accomplished, the X-Men take their new charges to safety, but realize someone is missing.

( Thomas Shepherd? He's a teenager. Sixteen. He wasn't among anyone I treated. Did anyone see him? )

The Lost Boys | Raid prep

Intel from their Underground contacts in hand, Cyclops, Rogue, and Dust prepare a daring rescue mission.

( Punching would be a strong benefit in this situation. Preferably repeatedly. )

(no subject)

Sorry to miss the fair! Took a last-minute trip and then spent much of the weekend in the city at a series of functions and tl;dr didn't have much of an appetite for anything but sleep.

Anyway IDK who helped organize but is there anywhere I can donate? Seems like a good cause.

PSA: Arthur's dunk tank is rigged. $100-worth of TK-assisted ball throws and he didn't fall in once. The most I got was the last baseball somehow hitting the edge of the button just right that it ricocheted into my face.

Group TXT: Angelo Espinosa & Sooraya Qadir

I've had an account from a reliable source about an attempted abduction. The person witnessed it while assisting teenagers transitioning into the Underground for transport to new locations. There've apparently been several disappearances over the last few months. Have either of you heard anything? I know we focus on different areas usually.

Message to Cyclops

Got something we might want to be on the lookout for...

Was doing intakes with a few new kids who just came into DX through the Underground today. Two of them mentioned that they'd heard of a place that was experimenting on mutants. Both had never met before and mentioned different locations, but not too far from each other. Put them on the map attached.

Might be a coincidence, but it feels fishy. I'll keep my ears out with the rest of the kids as well and let you.

Dust.

Isn’t he magnificent?

Donation booth at the International Food Fair

I hope you all have heard about the International Food Fair coming weekend in DX. It looks to be really great.

What you might not have heard, is that there will be a donation booth there. All proceeds from the boot will go the yearly 'Back to School Backpacks' volunteers are currently packing as well as the other school supplies drives later this year. I hope everyone will stop by!

I have already heard from so many people they are helping by donating or staffing the booth. A big shout out to everyone of you. Thank you so much for putting in your time and effort!

Pixie and Jono: Measurements

Jono had had his measurements taken once before- years ago when Georgie and Rhys had forced him to audition for a Shakespeare thing at school. Traitorous bastards hadn't even auditioned themselves.

He was used to baggier clothing in general - the occasional form fitting tank top or plain t-shirt, but overall he thrived in things that were oversized and comfortable - made it easier to move however he wanted on stage. Whatever was going to stop him from burning everything around him though, that was going to have to be form fitting...he just hoped the chest cavity didn't make it look too weird when Megan was done.

( Read more slow fashion in action! )
