Felíz cumpleaños, mi amor. There is a David Cronenberg festival this week at the town theater. Pizza and Videodrome tonight?

Sam and Paige | College Acceptance

Sam shares some big exciting news with Paige - it certainly ends in excitement.

( Somehow the knowledge that his therapist would be proud of him wasn’t making this easier. )

Entry tags:

What to do with a couple of weird teenagers, particularly one who's a fugitive from the law? If you're the X-Men, you invite them to your home.

( You're young, untrained and living in a world that generally does not like what it does not understand. You became targets the moment you developed powers. )

Entry tags:

The Lost Boys | Pandemonium

The reaper has come to harvest their souls and they are powerless to stop it.

( Don’t beat yourself up about it. I failed… thank you for this week. It’s been the best time I’ve ever had. )

Scott hastily assembles a team to retrieve Tommy, only to find Pandemonium.

( Chthonic entity, it’s mine, get the imps! )

Entry tags:

The Lost Boys | A Summoning

Billy and Tommy try a spell to commune with whatever is behind the sigil they keep seeing. That was a mistake.

( For all the bickering squabbles they'd had over the last few days, there was one thing Billy knew for certain: he couldn't let Tommy go back. )

Meanwhile, Wanda has some startling intel for Scott.

( Two teenage boys somehow managed to make off with a magical tome, somewhere in New Jersey. Eastview. )

Text to Pops (Kyle and Doug)

Could one of you bring me to the store? I would like to see their instruments.

Group TXT to Kyle & Angel

I've decided, after much deliberation, to assist the two of you in your nefarious doughnut schemes... my aid doesn't come without price, however - I'd really, really like a doughnut that's not awful, please. Just let me know when I'm meant to be offering Marius the item in question.

Entry tags:

Paige & Mel | Out to Lunch

Paige and Mel catch up and get lunch.
( Have you seen Sam lately? )

Entry tags:

The Lost Boys | Investigations

Billy and Tommy hit up the public library to learn something about the weird symbol they say in the magic 8-ball. They need to work on their teamwork a bit.

( Why should William Kaplan get what he wants when he can make a total fool of himself instead? )

Later, they are rebuffed by a local fortuneteller, but slip away with something potentially useful, anyway.

( Your life line is broken in two. Both of you. )

Entry tags:

Kyle and Angel (Backdated)

Angel and Kyle reunite, eat donuts, and are super sincere for like .2 seconds. Backdated to July 29.

( Oh my God did you seriously not text just so you could show up with sugar death? )

Entry tags:

Plot: Prom Night: No one messes with family (Backdated to May 25th)

Laura visits her pops about the phone that Kimura dropped.

( Kimura has always been delulu )

Entry tags:

Clea, Kyle, greenhouse

Kyle and Clea discuss a second greenhouse, just for magic plants.

( Everything I know about magic comes from reviewing terrible YA novels, or being cursed a few times. )

FOOD

The festival was great. I require more food.

But ALSO if you were there I probably got at least one photo of you, so let me know if you want it! I have some great shots of people eating. Yes I know no one looks good when they're eating. I'm just that amazing as a photographer.

The Lost Boys | A Chance Meeting

An uncannily familiar stranger shows up at the Kaplan residence and is magically invited in as family.

( Are you a mutie, dorkface. Cause I can’t do mind shit like that. I would know. )

Things only get spookier after dinner.

( You blow things up. I make weird things happen. We've had the same dreams. Something's connecting us. But what and why and how? )

Entry tags:

The Lost Boys | Search and Rescue

The X-Men raid a black site "research" facility experimenting on mutant prisoners.

Cyclops and Echo search for and free the inmates.

( The more I see places like this, what they'll do, the more I start to wonder if Magneto wasn't right. )

While Rogue and Dust provide a loud distraction.

( Looking worse than sheep on a shearing day. )

Legion assists Phoenix with medical care for the injured, and the gruesome scenes reawaken something long-hidden in Jean.

( As far as he was concerned, none of the staff deserved a fully intact skeleton. )

Madin and Dazzler download the research data and evidence of the real crimes.

( They were the X-Men. Someone would be screaming. )

Mission accomplished, the X-Men take their new charges to safety, but realize someone is missing.

( Thomas Shepherd? He's a teenager. Sixteen. He wasn't among anyone I treated. Did anyone see him? )

Entry tags:

The Lost Boys | Raid prep

Intel from their Underground contacts in hand, Cyclops, Rogue, and Dust prepare a daring rescue mission.

( Punching would be a strong benefit in this situation. Preferably repeatedly. )

(no subject)

Sorry to miss the fair! Took a last-minute trip and then spent much of the weekend in the city at a series of functions and tl;dr didn't have much of an appetite for anything but sleep.

Anyway IDK who helped organize but is there anywhere I can donate? Seems like a good cause.

PSA: Arthur's dunk tank is rigged. $100-worth of TK-assisted ball throws and he didn't fall in once. The most I got was the last baseball somehow hitting the edge of the button just right that it ricocheted into my face.

Group TXT: Angelo Espinosa & Sooraya Qadir

I've had an account from a reliable source about an attempted abduction. The person witnessed it while assisting teenagers transitioning into the Underground for transport to new locations. There've apparently been several disappearances over the last few months. Have either of you heard anything? I know we focus on different areas usually.

Message to Cyclops

Got something we might want to be on the lookout for...

Was doing intakes with a few new kids who just came into DX through the Underground today. Two of them mentioned that they'd heard of a place that was experimenting on mutants. Both had never met before and mentioned different locations, but not too far from each other. Put them on the map attached.

Might be a coincidence, but it feels fishy. I'll keep my ears out with the rest of the kids as well and let you.

Dust.
