Backdated like lots and lots back to just after 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' plot

Laurie posts a survey to the people who were on the boat with her, and Kyle has some rather solid thoughts on what she's doing.

( No, oh my god, no, did you just? )

Current Mood: amused

xp_topaz

Scott confronts Topaz about the liberal use of emotion draining during the undersea adventure. Things get... heated. Backdated to April 21.

(Brief mention of major character death.)

( You do what you have to do sometimes. )

xp_phoenix

Jean and Wanda have revenge sushi, drink, and talk about all the weird shit they've been through.

( This is why we're friends. )

xp_hawkeye

Clint's just finishing the setup for the squidlets when Topaz happens by. The conversation doesn't go at all as expected.

( I'm going to start charging for help with possessions and brainwashing... )

Clint actually does call Amanda. She gives him some information he didn't have and they both facepalm a lot.

( She said you were possessed? )

xp_bevatron

Clint distributes towels and has the officially Worst Idea Ever (tm).

( 'Clint, no.' 'Clint, yes.' )

xp_wildchild

The magic that turned the volunteers into merfolk will end easily. The involuntarily besquidded however, require some more work. It takes two witches to disarm the octo-occupied.

( Two weeks ago if you told Jean she was going to be in this situation she...probably would've believed you. Did that help? Hell fucking no. )

xp_wildchild

Darcy of the no codename and Blink get rid some of the supply of mind-controlling parasitic squidthings.

( This is a placeholder for a log that still needs work )

Daytripper(swimmer), Cyclops and Corsair release more kidnap victims.

( Sorry, part of the spell. It's kill or be killed down here and the spell's pushing us that way. )

Namor, Topaz and Jean finish the job, and Namor has emotions that aren't anger or disdain.

( Miss Grey. If you can manage enough control, send them to the Deep. There they will feed future generations. Nature is never kind, and some may survive. )

xp_bevatron

Scott and Amanda team up to take on the Starjammers and start breaking them free of the mind control.

( Well, I think we managed to find my father, only I think I kinda wish we hadn't. )

--

Kyle and Kurt work off some frustration on Lemureans. Biting and stabbing abounds.

( F*%^ me, they have tons of those things )

--

Jean-Phillipe and Ev face off against some guards...and Warlord Attuma of the Enormous Ego.

( Depths take you! )

xp_wildchild

Topaz (refuses a codename) fights Marvel Fishgirl on her own territory - the mind.

( Congratulations, you can see me. You have eyeballs. So what’re you gonna do about it? )

Synch takes over fighting King-Squid-Namor, and discovers surprising facts about the Atlantean when he tries to sync to his powers.

( He (Ev) did not know what he was picking up instead. Effects of the brain squid, maybe. But definitely not mutant marine Superman. )

Synch helps Topaz and Marvel Girl double-team Namor.
No, that's not quite right.
Our psionic lady duo works together with Synch to mind-whammy Namor out of his very squiddy problem...

( The creature possessing him (Namor) -- a slow, languid mind with many tendrils and a long memory -- remembered exactly how Atlanteans were made. And what that could do. )

xp_hawkeye

The topsiders discover they'll have a few ocean animals to contend with, themselves.

( No. We shouldn't ignore it. That is cursed. I thought I sensed something fishy with it... )

xp_bevatron

Bevatron and Darcy-Still-Needs-A-Codename fight guards with a compelling voice and conductive voltages - and discover just what has happened to Scott's father.

( Hey fish dudes, I've got some uh... high quality sushi in a keg for you, just come in and get it! )

Scarlet Witch and Nightcrawler are attacked by a regally and terrifingly transformed Jean Grey. She tries to defeat them with temptation, heartbreak and cannonballs.

( I would rather like my friend to come back without that ridiculous new headdress )

xp_wildchild

With all fishies in the water, Cyclops and Blink take point on scouting ahead.

( Placeholder for real log in need of a few more poses )

Rainbow Britefish (Topaz) and Synch track our missing phoenixes, pirates and princes.

( There's something wrong with them, though. Their emotions are all off. I don't know if that's good or bad for us. )

Daytripper and Wildchild are beset upon by Lemureans and an Atlantean bearing (wait no, WEARING) squid.

( An excess of teeth scraping against extra-durable skin felt exactly like that one time Kyle had thought chewing on some tin foil was a good idea. )

xp_daytripper

Amanda's the last to go, and Clint gets to make sure she gets to the water okay.

( I really hate this job sometimes. )

xp_hawkeye

Wildchild did not go over the rail when the magic started. This was a mistake. On the other hand, we find out what kind of fish Topaz is.

( Yeah, she wants us to change her email address to Rainbow Brightfish at Xavier's dot Edu. )

xp_bevatron

Cyclops, Nightcrawler and Daytripper discuss the ritual. They will probably never discuss this again. They definitly wish they could be not-sober for this.

( Clarice should be back with the fishy part by now, so I guess it's time to get the rest. I'm going to need the full set... )

Wallflower and Blink prep for a very quick medical exam. You always make sure your transformation volunteers won't, you know, die of being fish. What if someone had a salmon allergy or something?

( Oh yeah, I got way too up close and personal with way too many people I didn't particularly want to do that with. )

Topaz (who really needs a codename), Wildchild and Synch comment on the disgusting aspect - and taste - of magic. Magic is gross, ya'll.

( On a scale of one to durian fruit, how narsty is it? )

Scarlet Witch and Darcy (who also needs a codename) do the worst shots in the world as the transformation ritual takes effect.

( Everything felt like it was on fire from her toes to her -hair- which didn't even seem possible. )

Topaz (still needs a codename), Bevatron and Blink participate in the worst potions and transfiguration class ever.

( Cheers you two. I'd say if anything goes wrong let Amanda know, but really, there's no way to tell with this kind of stuff. )

xp_topaz

The magic ladies gather to talk, and Amanda has a most horrendous idea.

( 'What do Disney movies have to do with getting under wat-' There was almost an audible <i>click</i> as the pieces fell into place. 'No.' )

xp_topaz

The Bermuda Triangle is a popular vacationing spot. Not that Clea, Darcy, or Ty want to go.

( Creepy but kinda beautiful. )

xp_topaz

Ty catches Wanda and Ev by surprise to drag them off to the Bermuda Triangle. What fun.

( There's a Thing. In the ocean. Weird stuff. Help please? )

xp_topaz

Topaz learns a valuable lesson - When you skip school, you get stuck going with the Sefton siblings to fight a giant squid.

( Now, where's this boaty mcboatface got to? )

xp_topaz

Laurie and Clarice are too old for this crap.

( What’s the likelihood that that’s a question about what kind of alcohol we should get at the monthly staff meeting? )
