Checking on the Club.
Date of Scene: 05 April 2020
Location: Club Evolution, Mutant Town
Synopsis: And things are learned, and places are cleaned
Cast of Characters: Cannonball, Prismatic, Nightingale, Blurr, Pixie




Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has brought Alexis over to the club "Seems some gremlins or something attacked and messed it up a bit. Shannon is back in the wellness office."

Prismatic has posed:
    "So I heard." Alexis replies wryly as she slips into the club behind Sam, pursing her lips a bit as she rub the back of her head. "I felt bad about missing the performance last night -- feel bsolutely wore, now."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks around and says "Me too." He tells her. He looks around the room and says "Ok, I don't think it will be too bad to fix. This is the second time there has been an incident with Gremlins... Odd."

Prismatic has posed:
    "Given the amount of oddity that has occured in your life, I doubt it will be the last." Alexis states quietly as she jots a few things down. Her hair is pulled back into a loose bun, wearing jeans and a T-shirt beneath a black jacket marked 'STAFF' on the back. Because sometimes she's helping out at the club, and you just don't want to be questioned by the randoms.

    The dark-haired girl ooks about at the damages, making notes in her quick shorthand.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to her, and says "You think odd things happen around me ? Na." He offers her a smile and sighs "Think we can get it back up pretty quick, luckily we can use the x-com construction people.

Nightingale has posed:
     Wellness office, ha. Shannon had her fair share of time in there, and honestly, it was nothing life-threatening this time. It was a right nuisance, granted, having been chewed and scratched up by gremlins, but her injuries were healing well. So, hell or high water, she was determined to go back to the club and try to help fix things up. It felt like it was her fault in part, so yeah. Good luck keeping her away.

     She's in loose-legged jeans, a short-sleeve t-shirt that, unfortunately, leaves the healing marks on her arms visible, sneakers, and has her hair back in a braid all together. A soft sigh escapes her, and she rubs her temples lightly, muttering softly to herself, "Damned if I am ever getting up on that stage again..."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to Shannon as hears this when the young lady comes in "I don't think your singing summoned them." He walks over to give her a gentle hug "So what happened?"

Prismatic has posed:
    "I'm curious to know m'self." Alexis comments quietly, holding her clipboard closer to her chest as she looks over to the newly arriving singer, an eyebrow arching up slightly.

Nightingale has posed:
     "Actually, you two, I think it did. Just how much has Megan been telling you about these gremlin attacks, and -why- they've been happening?" Shannon hugs Sam briefly, looking emotionally exhausted, and quite frankly, very nervous about even being there. But she had to help clean up her own mess, or so she thought. Alexis is given a hug as well, but she does not retract her refusal to get anywhere near the stage again.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie shakes his head and says "I was there for one of the attacks, but aint heard anything else to be honest. aint seen any reports of other incidents.

Prismatic has posed:
    "And unfortunately, I've missed both events." Alexis states with a dour tone to her crisp accent, but she gives a one-armed hug to Shannon, and breathes out.

    "So, you're attracting wee little beasties?"

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon squares her shoulders, her training kicking in as she straightens up, albeit a wee bit painfully this time. "So far, in each incident I've heard of, the gremlins have targeted beings they have attempted to capture, such as the one we witnessed at the spring festival. One that you missed, and I only saw the tail end of myself, supposedly involved a snowflake fairy. Yes, you heard me right. And I do believe the Professor himself might be aware of that particular attack, as I was going outside with him at the time."

     The winged teen takes a deep breath before continuing. "About a week or so before the concert, one of those beings, calling herself Lyra, took an interest in my music, the song that I was polishing for the concert. Her sphere of inspiration seems to be inspiration and music. She took refuge within me, and I'm afraid when I sang last night, it did indeed make me a target."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over, and asks "How many incidents do you know of, and were you singing at all of them, or others or what?" He will ask, and says "And even if the singing was what drew them something extra has to be going on.

Prismatic has posed:
    "... so a frost fairy made itself a home inside of you and you're now a host to an otherworldly being and attract other otherworldly beings hoping for a mixed demise?" Alexis inquires as she looks to Shannon, and she rubs the back of her head, then looks to Sam.

    "Was there a section in the staff guide for events like this?"

Nightingale has posed:
     "This is the third I'm aware of, but the only one at which I was singing. I believe Lyra's presence within me was perhaps the deciding factor. However, she came asking for help and I could not bring myself to refuse. Given the viciousness of the attack, I would hope that her request for protection may continue to be honored." Shannon frowns slightly, crossing her arms--and immediately regretting it, wincing visibly. "Come to think of it, each time there was an attack, a fairy-like being was captured by the gremlins. This is actually the only time where the attempt was /not/ successful. Beyond that, I would very strongly suggest talking to Megan, and if necessary..." Here, it looks as if the poor girl's eaten a lemon whole, though she does her best to temper her expression. "..if necessary, I would even consider consulting Doctor Strange. This cannot keep going on."

     Alexis gets a slight shake of her head, and a little bit of a smile. "Not a frost fairy. Inspiration. A frost fairy was, regrettably, one of the ones that was captured in an earlier incident."

Blurr has posed:
    As the three mutants talk and work together to clean up the mess made by the gremlins, they might notice something strange on the floor amongst overturned furniture and other mess. It is shaped like a peg and is covered in strange patterns or writing of some kind. On one end there is a series of protrusions that look like they are supposed to interface with something.

    It's about the size of the mic stand and is lying near the stage, but...what's odd about that is if it really were that large how was it not noticed when they first walked in? It definitely looks -weird-.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will walk over when he notices the extra mic stand. He hmms and looks down at it, and for a moment wishes Doug was about. He will reach and do the dumb thing of picking it up to have a look at it.

Prismatic has posed:
    Why does Sam always have the bad ideas?

    Alexis pauses as she sees the prop, and her head tilts.

    "My bad, I apologize Shannon. And interrior otherworldly creature within." she states distractedly, then blinks.

    "I'm sorry, Doctor Strange?"

Nightingale has posed:
     Shannon's eyebrows shoot straight up when she sees the extra prop--knowing full well that is -not- the mic she used in her self-defense--and she rolls her eyes, facepalming. "Awww, HAIL NO! You have /got/ to be shitting me." She pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a heavy sigh. "Ummm, yeah, I hate to say it but things might just have gotten a whole lot more interesting...."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn steps into the ruined club, looking a bit tired and disheveled as she peers around at what remains of the mess from the night before. Oh yeah, Sam's gonna be mad and...Ohhh, there's Sam, and Alexis, and Shannon.."Ohh...Heey guys..." she smiles sheepishly at Sam, looks like he already knows but, "Geeez I'm sooo sorry for the mess, holding the talent show was totally my idea and..." She just sighs, not sure where to start..

Blurr has posed:
    As soon as Sam touches the strange piece of technology, there is the sound of rapid mechanical shifting, and it suddenly seems to...fold up on itself. This occurs several times until it fits perfectly in his hand. Well maybe -that- was why they hadn't noticed it previously.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie almost drops the item, and says "What the fu." He catches himself and looks at it if it does not seem to be going to blow up or such he will head to the ladies.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon sighs and shakes her head, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Oh yeah. Things just got a whole lot more interesting, big brother." Alexis' inquiry gets a nod and a very sour look. "Yeah. Doctor Strange. He may need to work on his bedside manner, but the guy's got some mad skillz. Aaaaaand just her luck to say something about him just when Megan pops in! However, there's no hint of regrets, only a bit of a hardened look in her eyes. "Heya, Megan..."

Blurr has posed:
    Nope, no flashing red lights, or any other signs of blowing up. It just fits perfectly in his hand now. Shannon probably recognized the writing on it immediately, but if she gets a closer look when Sam brings it over, she'll definitely be able to tell that there is no question about it. That's Neocybex!

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn quirks a brow, noting the odd object that people are peering at although at the moment she's more concerned about last night's attack. "Um...Did something else happen?" she frowns a bit, getting no response from Sam or Alexis and glances at Shannon with a faint smile, catching the tail end of her conversation, "Hii, Shannon! You're right, Doc Strange is pretty badass though I guess kidnapped fairies isn't really a threat enough for him to show off his powers.." she peers at her curiously, "Which reminds me..,Why DID they go after you last night? They usually target fairies..I didn't see any fairies the last time.."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie loks over to them as he walks over "Well we need to talk to Strange, or Illyana about the magic stuff, see if they can figure it out. I don't know about this, just found it on the stage.,"

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon sighs, rubbing her temples. "Sorry to say it, Megan, but Strange is the most disagreeable, sour sort I have ever met in my entire life. That he's been at all civil the past couple times I've seen him is the real shocker to me. Even if he knows his business. As for other things happening..." She pins the slightly older girl with a bit of a harder look. "Yeah there have been other things. No, I don't talk about them because they're not things for the general student population. And can you swear on whatever you hold holy that you can keep all of this to yourself? Because if not, then I'll have to wait to talk to Sam."

The younger teen sighs, and furls her wings around herself like a warm, feathery cocoon, wondering if this might perhaps be one of the last times she'll ever get to call the school 'home'. "Yeah, there WAS a fairy on stage last night, Megan. Her name's Lyra, she's a fairy of inspiration, and she's been hiding inside of me."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, biting her lip, "Huh....I dunno, he always seemed ok to me but I haven't known him long, except that he's usually too busy to talk for long. He seemed to think I could handle this..Fairy thing without his help but..." she shrugs, "I'll try talking to him again.."

She does grimace a bit as reference is made to her motormouth tendencies, sighing a bit. "Umm....Sorry about that..Secrets are just sooo hard to keep but..." then the explanation about the hidden fairy is given and Megan seems surprised, "WOW really? That's crazy..But I knew there was something odd going on..Could have sworn I sensed something odd...Well aside from that eeeie feeling that someone invisible was watching me and Conner.." she shivers at the memory.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over to Shannon, and will ask "Do you know what the object here is?" He will ask showing them the item a bit. And might need to have Strange put some warding around you.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon grimaces. "I'd as soon not have anything to do with that..." For Megan's sake, Shannon refrains from saying what she's thinking about the Sorcerer Supreme, having never forgiven him for a certain incident which shall remain nameless.

Taking a few deep breaths, she glances at the object in Sam's hand. "I'm not sure /exactly/ what it is. But it's a pretty safe bet whatever this is, is the thing that Blurr was trying to hide. Just wish Doug was here to decipher that writing. I can just about recognize it as Cybertronian but that's about all. Couldn't tell you what it says."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, "Huh, I'll ask him, since he's starting that magic school, I see him fairly often. Those gremlins will probably be targeting her again.." she sighs, "I guess I'd better help clean up..Got any brooms around?" Shannon is given a curious look. She sure sees and does a lot of things, "Cybertronian....You mean like those giant robot thingies?" she's never met them for real but has heard of them..

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Ok, well I will keep a hold of it, if you see him let him know wanna talk to him." He will tell them "Blurr that is." And he helps then clean a bit more."

Nightingale has posed:
     "Fucking LET those gremlins target me. I'd rather deal with them all over again." The sheer level of venom in Shannon's voice and the scowl on her face is a rare and almost terrifying thing to see. "You don't forget it when you go to someone in good faith because you respect their wisdom in their field, get treated like shit, and called a stupid child. You really think I want to deal with that again or take a chance on trusting that again?"

     The younger girl rubs her temples and sighs, going silent for several long moments. "Yeah. Like those giant robot things. And Sam... I can try to get a hold of him but if you've seen YouTube footage lately, meeting with him could be a whole lot riskier now than it has been previously. Especially with a bounty hunter on his tail."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks slowly, actually taking a step back as Shannon gets angry, "Eep..Really? Strange said that? That's soo odd.." she sighs, shaking her head. She'll definitely need to talk to him about that. "Umm Soo that object belongs to one of those giant robots? Wonder how it ended up here.." glancing back at Shannon she just smiles sheepishly, "Well...Please be careful, I don't wanna see you get hurt. Meanwhile, I know so,done who might be able to help..Maybe?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks over and says "I don't know Shannon, I don't know why he was like that but he has seemed to more open less grouchy ass than he was.

Nightingale has posed:
Shannon eyes Sam warily. "You were there that day. You saw the whole thing. And you want me to go through that all over again? Really?" She pinches the bridge of her nose, the marks on her arms painful but well on their way to healing, with perhaps another day to go in her case before they vanished entirely. "You'll have to convince me pretty hard to even consider it after all that. An apology would be a nice start, but I also don't see that happening in this lifetime."

Pixie has posed:
Megan Gwynn sighs a bit, searching the closet for a broom, and starts cleaning up whatever is left to clean. "Hey Shannon, maybe you should get some much needed rest and don't worry about Strange for now.lThose scratches look painful, do you need to get those taken care of?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Just consider it but lets get things cleaned up for now.""

Nightingale has posed:
     "These marks /are/ healed from last night. Give it another day-ish, they'll be gone." Shannon smiles some at them both, and shakes her head. "Hey. I helped make the mess, I'll help you guys clean it, at least for a little while." There's a bright red blush to her face, for just a moment, and she coughs. "On a brighter note... yeeeah you weren't kidding about that Drake guy checking me out, were you?"
