Shadow King: West End Girls

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Jeannie's just hanging out, and at least this time when Terry comes across her insane ex-teacher she doesn't get her heart broken.

( We've got no future, we've got no past/ Here today, built to last )

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

Scott checks on Forge after his encounter with Betsy, and they discuss the situation.

( A kick in the head is definitely better than stabbity death. )

Curiosity about her future life takes hold of Jeannie, and she and Scott get to talking... right before the world goes sideways again.

Shadow King: Desperate Measures - Sunday evening

[xp_daytripper]

Desperate situations result in desperate plans... Using their magic-using network, the Occult Research Team (and Strange) take some very unorthodox measures to try and make things difficult for the Shadow King.


( Well, this is some fucking weird shite right here. )

In this plane, Wanda and Strange begin the ritual, and everything seems to be going to plan. Until the inevitable.


( Magic goes corporate. )

Things get messy.


( 'C'mon Boss Lady, bring us home.' )

Amanda and Illyana get free, leaving chaos behind them. But all is not lost.


( Well, that was even more of a disaster than normal. )

Monday morning in Madripoor.

Marie-Ange, Doug, Sarah, and Mark infiltrate Farouk's clinic with Jubilee's help. They face heavy resistance.

( If the situation changes before then, for better or -worse-, we adapt. )

Jubilee has a Brilliant Idea.

( It's time to spread the word. )

Mark, separated from the rest of the group, fights through to Farouk. A nasty, unexpected surprise meets him.

( It was becoming clear the he was simply in the way here. )

Marie-Ange and Doug find Farouk and end things.

( I beg your pardon? Listen whatever the problem is between you and Mr. Trotsky... )

Shadow King Aftermath - Jean and her mother

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Jean's got her mind back, which means she probably ought to go tell her mother... Not something she's looking forward to in the slightest.
Backdated to the 10th.

( There was something incredibly awkward about all of this. Possibly more than one something. )
