After the Hellfire Gala: Back home again

[Pixie]

A stepping disk formed in the middle of the Graymalkin Industries living room, and Pixie, Dazzler and Sasha stepped out.

"I'll head back in a few minutes to get some of the students. I'm sure people want to get back here," Pixie said as she smiled at Sasha and Alison.  "I mean, seriously. Who wants to spend time schmoozing with Doctor Doom and Loki?"

"Schmoozing? That isn't exactly a Welsh phrase, is it?" Ali said with a chuckle as Megan grinned.

"No, but people got sick of me saying 'tidy' all the time. I'm trying new phrases. I sound like I ate the Urban Dictionary website," Pixie giggled as she went to turn on the TV. "And no, I do not need to see play by play of the party. Sesame Street might be a better choice at this point!"

[Alison Blaire]

"Oh, it is so good to be home!" Ali said as she took off her heels and dropped down on the sofa. "No TV, Megan! Put on the radio or something. Music station. Not news!"

Alison motioned for Sasha to sit next to her on the sofa. "I agree. Not watching TV would be the best option at the moment. I don't need to watch the drama. But you asked about Sean...that is hard to explain. Scott and Alex Summers have another brother named Gabriel. He goes by the code name Vulcan. He caused Banshee's murder by setting the plane Sean was on on a collision course with one of our Blackbirds. Sean's power was...is...a sonic scream. He had been attacked and had his throat cut a few years back, and it hadn't healed by the time of the collision. He tried to use his powers to stop the plane anyway, but he failed. When the planes crashed, he flew through the windshield of the Blackbird. He was killed instantly."

Ali tried to let that all sink in before she continued with Sean's apparent resurrection. "Sean came back at the same time Captain America did at the party. I'm guessing it was all that magic flying around that brought them both back, but I'm not sure. I am just happy the crazy part of this night is over. Want to raid the kitchen?"

[Sasha Sadovsky]

Sasha grinned after he found himself within his home. He turned to Pixie. ''Thank you again for bringing us home,'' he said. Sasha heard Pixie after she announced her plan to go back and get some of the students. ''That answers my question. I wondered about the other students until now,'' he said.

Sasha tilted his head in confusion. ''Schmoozing? What is schmoozing?'' he wished to know.

His grin returned after Alison motioned for him to sit near her. He sat on the sofa very slowly. His happy expression disappeared after Alison answered his questions about Sean. Concern filled his eyes after he heard about how Sean flew through the windshield of the Blackbird. ''Poor Sean!'' he exclaimed before he was informed of Sean's resurrection. He shrugged. ''At least Sean returned from the dead.''

Sasha grinned again at the mention of the kitchen. ''Of course!'' he exclaimed. He faced Pixie again. ''Are you going to eat something before you get the rest of the students?''

[Alison Blaire]

Alison looked at Megan, and she could see Megan likely needed a snack before she took off to get the others. "Sasha's right. You should get a snack before you head out," Dazzler said to emphasize Sasha's comment.

Pixie listened to her own stomach as food was mentioned, and the rumbling didn't stop quickly. "Yeah, I better. We didn't get to eat much before those guards sent us outside. To the kitchen it is!"

Ali chuckled as Megan led the way toward the kitchen. "Schmoozing is all that silly small talk we did with people we didn't know at the party. I don't think I want to make small talk with Loki or Doctor Doom either!"

OOC: I'll keep this thread open for others characters for now. I'll also be handing Ali back to Stalik after my next post.--K
 

[Jubilee]

"I hate these stupid shoes!" Jubilee yelled as she, Abbey and Ryder made their way through the portal and back to Graymalkin Industries, otherwise known as home. "I think I'm going to make them into sculptures or something. Why I let Monet talk me into buy these dopey things is beyond me!"

Jubes looked at Abbey and Ryder and then burst out laughing as she held up her now very ratty shoes and chucked them in the corner behind a chair. "Those things are hideous and they pinch way too much. Ryder, what happened to your friend Sandy?"

"Sandrine? She was going to help her cousin Mira get that very freaky lady Patience Rydenborne some place where they have no sharp knives. I feel bad for that woman. Trying to resurrect her daughter by razoring her own skin off her arms and finding out she got played by one of the oldest witches in the book. Morgan Le Fay is a real piece of work."

"No more Morgan Le Fay talk!" Jubes said as she looked around the room. "Ladies, what do you want to do once we get out of these party duds?"

[Abbey Pryde]

  " Anything that doesn't deal with a lot of people or parties." Abbey said as she plopped down on the couch, rubbing her temples softly as if the party had given her a headache.  Being around a ton of uptight, wannabe aristocratic, loud obnoxious people was not a usual passtime for Abbey.  She would of found a lot more comfort curled up with a good book in some corner, or drinking some Starbucks with a good friend late at night.  

 Abbey unbuckled her knee high boots and let her hair down.  " Ahhh freedom."  Then right there, Abbey lifted her nice dress up over her head, revealing a ripped up Nine Inch Nails shirt with fishnets underneath and a black and white plaid skirt.  " Soo good to be dressed normal again, well normal for me."  Abbey jokingly nudged Jubes and winked at Ryder.  It was good to know she wasn't the only unique younger gen X-men, around some of the others, she sorta felt out of place.  

 " I think we need Starbucks,  i'm dying for some, what do you think?"  Abbey stretched a bit as she rebuckled her knee high boots in case the others were down to go get Starbucks.  

[Jubilee]

"Yes, Starbucks would be great, because I am too wired to sleep anyway!" Jubes said with a big grin at Abbey's suggestion. "Just let me go change..."

"Oh for Pete's sake," Ryder growled as she waved her hand and made Jubilee's tattered party frock morph into her yellow jacket, denim shorts, short boots and a striped crop top. "No point having a witch around if you can't magic up the old clothes once or twice. And I don't care for all that PC garbage. I am a witch, and I am damned proud of it!" Ryder smiled at Abbey and then made her own black dress turn into a leather miniskirt and jacket, modified combat boots and a ripped CBGB's t-shirt she'd "borrowed" from her dad. "I just want to get away from all the crazy people I call family. My Dad was very smart not to go to that stupid party, but then again, that Mystic Council meeting looks about as great as the party did!"

"You mean a snooze-a-rama with people that look like they walked out of Harry Potter and Labyrinth?" Jubes chuckled as she thought about all she had heard regarding the Mystic Council. "That woman in Pepto Pink going to be there?"

"Nooooo!" Ryder said as she rolled her eyes. "That would be too freaky for words. So, which Starbucks do you usually go to, Abbey? I knew all the ones back in Manhattan, but in San Fran I am clueless."
