January 2018

Quentin Quire continued along the path of self-destruction following the his resurrection, winding up in the medlab with a 'social disease' and not endearing himself to Clarice Ferguson and Cecilia Reyes who had the joy of treating him. A Slendermen movie was announced, with various mansionites expressing their objections on the journals and hatching a semi-serious plan to steal all copies of the film before it premiered. Charles Xavier announced his decision to semi-retire, moving to Muir Island and passing on various NGO contacts to Sooraya Qadir, who was working on using old X-Corps contacts to continue their work on her own. Tandy Bowen also got in the philanthropic spirit, with her District X food bank opening.

Topaz' library 'minions' - magically animated Porg toys - resulted in a philosophical discussion on the ethics of giving 'life' to stuffed toys and how she could make a fortune even at the mansion selling them to people. Warren Worthington and Barbara Morse found themselves, much to their mutual surprise, in an actual relationship. Sharon Friedlander continued to seek information on her super-soldier "problem", enlisting Amanda Sefton and Marie-Ange Colbert to research Qunbula, the Iraqi super soldier who was stalking her.

Topaz expressed concern about Agent Brand having seen her in action in Wyoming. Clea Lake, heading home for the Christmas vacation, was also worried, about telling her adoptive parents about her birth family, and while talking to Amanda about her worries, discovered X-Force was wanting for a receptionist. Lorna Dane booked her PI qualification exam, and Artie Maddicks spent time in Chicago forming contacts for X-Force and avoiding the guy that talked to pigeons.
