| + | October was a busy time for the mansion. [[Darcy Lewis]] and [[Laurie Collins]] [[Arise, X-Man|got caught in a feedback loop]] during an intimate moment, and when Darcy made mention of it on the journals (blaming herself), there was some amusement and not a little concerns, given Laurie's powers and history. The reaction caused Darcy to become extra protective of Laurie; Laurie herself used the incident as an excuse to take some time away from the mansion - Darcy accompanied her to a monastery in Nepal and left her there for a meditation retreat. However, she didn't remain and instead made her way to [[Madripoor]] to meet with a doctor about some unsanctioned experimental treatments for her arm and instead found - and made a deal with - [[Nathaniel Essex]]. In the meantime, [[Kevin Sydney]] got the truth of the incident from Darcy and made her attempt to lie a training exercise. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A [[X-Men Mission: Lone Sentinel|mission to protect government property]] went extremely badly for the X-Men when an expanded [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] not only gained the upper hand against them, but revealed the government property they had been protecting was actually a [[Sentinels|Sentinel]] - a mutant-hunting robot. In the aftermath, Laurie called in a team of experts to help [[Tayammum|Sooraya recover her human form]], while [[Theresa Cassidy]] got snappy while waiting for news about [[Kyle Gibney|Kyle Gibney's]] condition and [[Monica Rambeau]] got help from [[Alison Blaire]] to recharge enough to become solid again after having her powers drained. In the meantime, [[Marie-Ange Colbert]] had a meeting with Kevin to ask about certain activities against the [[Maggia|West Coast Maggia]] in the wake of the [[Sons of Mutancy|discovery their leader was a Hell Lord]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Two weeks after the Sentinel disaster, [[X-Force]] called in reinforcements to Baltimore when an investigation of mysterious deaths turned into a major disaster when [[Potomac Calls to Chesapeake|a disgruntled nature spirit, tired of the polluted bay, attacked the city with giant crustaceans]]; while the X-Men and the [[The Avengers|Avengers]] teamed up to protect the city and [[Namor]], [[Alani Ryan]] and [[Meggan Szardos]] tried to negotiate with the spirit, X-Force kidnapped and sacrificed a politician responsible for the pollution. [[Doug Ramsey]] had an allergic reaction to the ritual, possibly due to [[A Fistful of Nanites|his nanites]], [[Amanda Sefton]] upset Topaz and [[Clea Lake|Clea]] by being overprotective again and Kevin introduced Darcy to the 'fun' task of body disposal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, two days before Halloween, Darcy received a [[Monster Mash|mysterious book]] during her run of the X-Force drop points, which she handed to [[Topaz]]. The book turned out to be a 'gift' from [[Satana]], but [[Avalon|Avalon's]] magical field disrupted the deadlier spell Satana had placed on it, but instead the effect was enough to trap various residents in classic horror movie tropes, with no idea of who they were until the spell ended. That alone would have been bad enough, but when the book tried to teleport away, it instead punched a hole through the pocket dimension of Avalon that would lead to it collapsing. | ||

October was a busy time for the mansion. Darcy Lewis and Laurie Collins got caught in a feedback loop during an intimate moment, and when Darcy made mention of it on the journals (blaming herself), there was some amusement and not a little concerns, given Laurie's powers and history. The reaction caused Darcy to become extra protective of Laurie; Laurie herself used the incident as an excuse to take some time away from the mansion - Darcy accompanied her to a monastery in Nepal and left her there for a meditation retreat. However, she didn't remain and instead made her way to Madripoor to meet with a doctor about some unsanctioned experimental treatments for her arm and instead found - and made a deal with - Nathaniel Essex. In the meantime, Kevin Sydney got the truth of the incident from Darcy and made her attempt to lie a training exercise.
A mission to protect government property went extremely badly for the X-Men when an expanded Brotherhood of Mutants not only gained the upper hand against them, but revealed the government property they had been protecting was actually a Sentinel - a mutant-hunting robot. In the aftermath, Laurie called in a team of experts to help Sooraya recover her human form, while Theresa Cassidy got snappy while waiting for news about Kyle Gibney's condition and Monica Rambeau got help from Alison Blaire to recharge enough to become solid again after having her powers drained. In the meantime, Marie-Ange Colbert had a meeting with Kevin to ask about certain activities against the West Coast Maggia in the wake of the discovery their leader was a Hell Lord.
Two weeks after the Sentinel disaster, X-Force called in reinforcements to Baltimore when an investigation of mysterious deaths turned into a major disaster when a disgruntled nature spirit, tired of the polluted bay, attacked the city with giant crustaceans; while the X-Men and the Avengers teamed up to protect the city and Namor, Alani Ryan and Meggan Szardos tried to negotiate with the spirit, X-Force kidnapped and sacrificed a politician responsible for the pollution. Doug Ramsey had an allergic reaction to the ritual, possibly due to his nanites, Amanda Sefton upset Topaz and Clea by being overprotective again and Kevin introduced Darcy to the 'fun' task of body disposal.
Finally, two days before Halloween, Darcy received a mysterious book during her run of the X-Force drop points, which she handed to Topaz. The book turned out to be a 'gift' from Satana, but Avalon's magical field disrupted the deadlier spell Satana had placed on it, but instead the effect was enough to trap various residents in classic horror movie tropes, with no idea of who they were until the spell ended. That alone would have been bad enough, but when the book tried to teleport away, it instead punched a hole through the pocket dimension of Avalon that would lead to it collapsing.
