Shadowcat has posed:
There's been a lot going on around the school. A couple of students missing. The staff running about, searching, while others keep the students calm. Kitty has been one of them searching. But she comes back for food. A bowl of Crunchberries and some milk, while Lockheed is curled up around her neck sleeping on her shoulders. Tired from flying around the area searching as well.

Kitty sighs, banging her spoon into the bowl harder than needed. Frustrated at the kids having been taken from under her fingers almost literally. Well, on the other side of a magical barrier. But it felt the same anyway. She buries her sorrows in a spoonful of Crunchberries.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua runs into the kitchen, followed by the sounds of a gurgling stomach. She's STARVING. Just barely back into the mansion, she's still getting her bearings. And... she stops, dismayed, at the dining hall being not in operation. "Oh no no no no.... breakfast ended at 9?" She sighs as she pushes into the kitchen, her long red hair flowing after her, and stops cold. "Oh... hi Kitty... I'm back..." she cooos, waving shyly - then goes to get herself a bowl of cereal - getitng one twice as big as the one Kitty had. "So - there was a lot of frantic activity this morning..." She pours the cereal in.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie slept in, late, and then had a class and totally also missed the opportunity for breakfast.

She is much more sedate and less frantic than Rift rushing in to get food, strolling in while wearing her usual anti-social gear. Today's shirt is black, with a sleeping snorlax on it that says don't give up your dreams, keep sleeping, under her leather jacket.

"Hey Kitkat." then there is a pause and Ellie peers at Kitora for a long moment, god what was her nickname or real name. hmm. damnit... "When did you get back Rift?" yeah she can't remember the mean nickname right now.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde watches Kitora come rushing in. "Yes, saw the memo go around," Kitty says. Ok, it wasn't a memo. They don't send memos in 2027. It was an email at the least, but it's still the right term. "Welcome back. Kind of crazy right now with Billy and the others missing," she says. "Probably not the easiest day to settle back in," the young woman says. "But if you need help, Jubilee or I can try to help out, once we're back from searching," she says.

Ellie's entrance gets a wave from Kitty. "Scott might be a little more uptight than normal about the curfew. Kind of understandably so," she says. It was after curfew when the kids snuck off to the woods to play the game, at that. "How're you doing? Anything exciting of late?"

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods slowly as she is already having a bowl of cereal and is working on eating it with unladylike haste. "Well..." she states. "Where were they last seen? I can fly over the area... I can move pretty fast, on the ground or in the sky." She sighs softly. "I don't have any specific means of detecting people but... I could try to search." She then waves. "Yeah, I just got back a couple of days ago. Mr. Drake helped me move back in. And... it's good to see you, Ellie."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Okay yeah Ellie slept through it and jut got out of her first class. She pauses and narrows her eyes now staring at Kitty. "What the fuck did you say... more strick... I mean.. fuck. Dorkmeister couldn't be more strick aout curfew at this point if he replaced that stick up his ass with some Snape's wand."

Okay maybe someone should just give Negasonic her coffee and explain to her what happened.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde can tell from Ellie's tone she doesn't realize the situation. But Kitty first tells Rift, "Don't think they are in the area. But we've had flyers out looking for them already." Kitty takes a bite of cereal, working steadily on it so that it doesn't get soggy.

She looks over to Ellie and says, "Spring cleaning was going on. Some of the students found a game. Went off into the woods to play it. We heard a scream. Got there and there was a magic forefield around them, and they were kind of fading away a bit inside. Lorna, Rogue and I couldn't get in. A woman appeared atop it, mocking us. Rogue tried to hit her but she stopped Rogue's punch with a finger, and she turned Lorna's metal to flowers. I couldn't phase through the barrier, nor could Lockheed's fire break through. Woman said something about how she was disappointed in us, and then something about how you should never meet your heroines. So we think she was targeting us, or the school, in particular. Billy and <name> and <name> disappeared in a puff of smoke then, along with the woman. We've investigating."

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua just frowns. "Ummmm...." She sighs softly. "Please tell me it wasn't a board game named Jumanji." She sighs softly, shaking her head. "That's one of hte craziest things I ever heard." She ponders. "I suppose someone thought of this already, but if we're up against magic - we could use a magician... isn't there some supernatural detectie named Dresden or something? Or we could have... ummmm... Colossus' kid sister uses magic, right?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie slows her roll a moment. Then just sighs.

A Big Sigh.

At that point Ellie just heads to pour her some coffee and sips said black gold.

"Right. Magic kidnapping ladies and some stupid students with games in the woods breaking curfew... for fucks sake Kitty." siiiiiip.

"Also yeah Rift is right, anyone try to get ahold of Illyana." yup no nickname for her, she is fucking scary even for Ellie.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde shakes her head to Kitora. "Not Jumanji. It was a game called Tempt Fate. Brought in my boyfriend to take a look, he's a security consultant, great at investigative work. Recognized the only piece we had from it, and said it's from a company that was owned by Edward Nygma. Also known as The Riddler," Kitty says, frowning. She can't help but wonder if there's a connection there. She just helped put him in Arkham a few days ago.

"We've got a number of people looking into it," Kitty confirms to Rift. "It wasn't all done with magic, though some of it was. Forge already took a look. Might have been a mutant power actually. We're looking into it though. It's tough to get ahold of Illyana when she's in Limbo."

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua nods. "Right... one place I can't portal to. I've had no luck turning my portals into a dimensional breach. Not that I'd really know what to do." She paces back and forth, having wolfed down a bowl of breakfast cereal twice the size one should be in record time. "But from what I hear, I wouldn't _want_ to go there anyway. So... is there anything I can do to help?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Coffee is topped off and then Ellie makes her way to get some toast and ham and cheese from the fridge, fuck cereal and it's bright colors and commercialization.

"For the record Riftz.. don't ever go to Limbo." and then she is making her sandwich. "Isn't that one of those dumb Gotham criminals. can we go pay him a visit and hit him until he answers questions?" yeah Ellie is here to help.

Shadowcat has posed:
Kitty Pryde glances over to Kitora at the mention of not wanting to go Limbo. "You have no idea," says the young woman whom the Soulsword passed to once upon a time. "Just help keep the other students calm. Scott's calling the shots on it," she says. Kitty looks over to Ellie and says, "There's an article in the paper from this weekend. Riddler got caught by Gotham's Batman, trying to gas an apartment building. He's in Arkham. Or, well, the paper said that's where he got dropped off. But this lady was talking about us being her heroines, so I'm not sure this is The Riddler's doing," Kitty says. "Scott is sending us after some leads. If they don't pan out, we could look into that though, yes."

Kitty finishes her cereal and gets up. "I'm going to go get ready," she says. "Keep everybody here safe, ok?" she asks. She pats Ellie's shoulder on her way past.

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua sighs softly. "Why is Batman's rogues all over the place lately? First the Atlantic City casino heist, now this..." She shakes her head. "I will do my best, Kitty," she states as she smiles. "At least here - nobody will look creeped out when I light it up."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Sandwich, meat, cheese, mayo, mustard, more cheese.

Ellie puts her supplies away and cuts the sandwich and then heads to the breakfast nook to settle in with her food. "I'm not really afraid of any of his villains.. well except maybe the Joker.. that guy is legendary..." a bite of her sandwich "And yeha no one cares if you look weird here.. I mean I may give you a nickname but ... meh..." she is still marinating in enhanced curfew.

'I bet they are just scared of Batman and smoked out of Gotham or something."

Rift has posed:
Kitora Alua smiles. "Rift is fine - I use it myself," she muses, grinning widely. "You went by Negasonic, right?" she asks. "Well... we can get reacquainted... I only really moved back in due to the Sentinels but... I forgot how much weird stuff happens here." She smiles. "Let's go patrol the grounds."
