[Video]

[She's got her head bowed, shoulders rising and falling as if she's panting. Her hair is black, with red and silver streaks in it. The wall behind her is utterly blank.

Her harsh panting comes over the audio. Jubilee has been working. The video trembles for a moment and then she raises her head.

Blue eyes are seen through stringy hair. Sweat streaks her face.

And her eyes... her eyes aren't normal. They're flat, dead, exhausted...]

Dr. Michael Xavier is dead.

[The video cuts out, with the NV being hurled across a room.]




[OOC: Jubilee has locked herself in the Danger Room. And then locked the Danger Room down so no one can get in except herself, Emma and Magneto. She's also wearing void cuffs, because... yeah. She's surging and can't be around people.

To the people in her condo: Her phone went off at about 3am, right as she got to bed and then she just left. No one saw her again until this post.

Anyone wanting to look into the shenanigans: HIT THIS PLOTTING POST]

[Except Erik isn't here and Jubilee is. She would have taken responsibility for everyone but they hadn't given her a chance. She tucks her hands - covered with gloves - into her lap, anyway.]

Alright. The door's open if you want it. Just... gimme a couple days warning and I'll change security around.

[Again.]

[But Jubilee didn't sign on for helping Blaine out- Erik did. He did, and he abandoned that responsibility, and Chuck won't back out. He won't ask Blaine to trust someone he didn't necessarily sign up for, either. He's a teenager in need, not a hot potato. Chuck sighs a little and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.]

I don't think that's gonna happen. There's a lot I miss, but it's just... not the same. Cas would never come back, Rochelle's gone, and I still have Vonnegut- my Hell-puppy.

[Who Chuck would never bring here no matter how much you paid him. Ever. Nothing could ever convince him to trust any of the people associated with this building with anything like that again.]

[She just sighs. She's tired, worn out and really sick of defending herself. But whatever. This was why mutants had to stick together right? RIGHT!]

I think the only apartment hellhound protected is mine. Since Loki still has his here.

[She goes to raise a hand, but decides against it. She's having issues with her hands tonight and she doesn't want anyone noticing.]

You named him Vonnegut? Really?

[paterelohim]

[Except for the part where Chuck didn't say anything she needs to defend herself against, and just gave valid reasons.]

Yeah. Why not?

[NERD DEFENSIVE. Don't make fun of his Vonnegut love, okay.]

[thelittlestbub]

[Doesn't mean she doesn't take it that way. Exhaustion is leading her into taking a lot of things wrong.]

I was just asking. Not one of my favorite authors that's all.

[No need to break out the Nerd Shield of Defense +4]

[paterelohim]

I didn't feel like naming him Rowling.
