[She's got make up on and is hiding the illness still wracking her. She's managing not to hack up a lung because this is important and you never show weakness. Ever.

She's also in her uniform. Not her normal flat black, though. This one is different. There's a deep red under her arms that goes downward. No one can see the bottom, where the racing stripes down her legs fade from silver to blue, to Magneto's purple. It's directed at someone, because she knows he'll get it. To hell with the rest of you plebeians.]

Good morning. In certain sectors of the Newcomer community this morning, I have no doubt that there are a lot of questions.

I am neither condoning, condemning, nor confirming actions, at this time.

However. I am asking that all who are leaving the House of Awesome do so by noon today.

All belongings left behind will be stored and returned to their rightful owners, at mutually agreed upon times and places.

Temporarily, I am stating that this building will no longer be accepting Newcomers. Until now, we've had an open policy, but as of noon, that policy is on indefinite hold. I am sorry for anyone that this inconveniences.

[No, she's not, but it's politic to say so.]

Of course, anyone that remains here will have leave to come and go as they need. All visitors will be cleared by myself and myself alone.

I am available if anyone has any questions.

[Feed cuts to private filters:]

[HoA, but ONLY those that are staying, and she can pretty much guess who they are, Magneto Filters]

Anyone else who wishes to leave is welcome to. I'm sorry to see you go.

[That's at least honest.]

[Locked to Deadpool, Spidey, and Loki only.]

Deadpool, Loki, Spidey, this house is hereby on lockdown. Until further notice and yes I'm in charge.

[See her? She's the mercenary child soldier trained by Wolverine, Cyclops, Emma Frost and Charles Xavier. Welcome to her world.]

[Finally, she drops the facade and just looks tired.]

... I could use a friend tonight, if you've got time to spare. Please?

When an NV returns your sent messages, and when you make a call and it says it's unavailable... Does it mean that... Does it mean what I think it means? Because if it does, Yazoo is gone.

[There is a long pause in which he wasn't expecting to receive a little note...

Swallows before speaking again.]

Raven too...

[There's nothing but silence and Michael's voice coming over the NV.]

It's only been nine days into the month and there's already so much happening. And that's without the added fun of new arrivals. I can barely imagine how exciting the rest of the month will be. Normally I'd just sit back and watch it all unfold but seeing as how my entire family is involved someway or another it's not really an option.

[Honestly, children. Does Michael need to get leashes for all of you? Does "not drawing attention to ourselves" mean anything?]

Since the people of my world seem to enjoy stirring up trouble I started to wonder what everyone else did for fun. What do you take pleasure in doing?

I do believe all of you and I need to have a conversation about telling people certain things about our world. I'd hate to have an in-person visit with anyone you've ever talked to just to ensure that the shenanigans over the past few days don't repeat. [Yes, it's shenanigans because it was Crowley who died and Michael doesn't give any fucks about the demon. No, he won't elaborate on any details from the side he's sort of taken.]

[The feed crackled, fizzing in and out between white noise and image. It was early morning by the looks of the sky, too early for anyone to be safely out and about. Perhaps Break had thought it was safe, he may have assumed that the darkness had crept back from where it came and the morning sun and rain were all that flooded the street.

He had been sadly mistaken.

The NV footage flashed on to show Break's feet, dragging through the dark street, the ominous glow of bloodshot pink radiated from behind him as his Chain followed him, its pupil wide and swirling with a darkness that matched the Abyss it came from.

Nothing was spoke, Break simply coughed up a handful of blood into his gloved palm, the video feed cutting out.

When it finally came back on, all that could be seen was the side of Break's body, laying on the ground, Mad Hatter in the background screaming, staring and keeping the darkness monsters that still lurked at bay.]

[When the feed turns on, Raul is sitting at his office at the Newcomer Community Center, seeing as he trashed his office at Lion's Gate, and it's being rebuilt now.]

First of all, I'd like to welcome all of our recent arrivals to the city of Siren's Port. My name is Raul Creed, and I am the head of the Newcomer Political Party, as well as General Manager of Lion's Gate, here in the city. I realize and understand that this is a tough transitional period for everyone, but I hope that you all know that, no matter what, the NPP is here to help out in any way we can. If you are looking for a job, Lion's Gate is always hiring. We're looking for kitchen, security, wait staff, and bartenders. If you would like to work nights, then please, let me know. The Community Center is also here to help Newcomers out.

[He leans forward a little, hands folded on the desk.]

And speaking of the Community Center, that is the large building a block away from the baseball diamond. The Newcomer Clinic is also at the Community Center, so if you are in need of medical attention, and would prefer not to go to SP General or Skye Medical Center, there is that. All emergencies should go to either hospital, though.

I would also like to let everyone know that the Community Center will be holding a variety of lessons on different subject matters. Re-l Mayer is running those, so it is safe to say that they will be up and running by the end of the month. If anyone wishes to teach a class or two, contact her for details.

[He pauses now, leaning forward and picking up the NV. Walking to the window, he holds it in front of him, showing the city streets spread out from the center's window.]

In more important news, the governor has finally allowed a Newcomer Office to be made within the current system of government. This is a great step forward towards Newcomer rights, and I do wish to aware everyone that our status in the city will hopefully be rising in the future. The governor is letting us have elections to decide who we should put in this Newcomer Office, so be on the look out for possible candidates. For elections, if you wish to vote, you need to become a citizen.

Which is where the Community Center comes in, again. A few months back, we held citizen tests for any Newcomer who wished to become a citizen of this city. The NPP will be holding these tests again, and anyone who would like to become a citizen of the port will be allowed to take the tests, no matter the age or length of time spent in the city. The citizen tests will be on March 21st, and on March 20th we'll be holding a class for anyone wanting to take the tests. I want to stress that becoming a citizen of the port does not mean you are giving up your citizenship of your home country or world. Citizenship here means more benefits for everyone, as well as being counted as a full member of this city. It makes it much harder for the companies to kidnap someone and get away with it, if the person is a citizen.

Back home, citizenship was the highest honor given to an immigrant. I hope that everyone here will take advantage of this opportunity, as we're not sure when it'll come again.

[The feed turns on to static and the sound of something crashing. There's a rumbling in the background, the whining groan of steel pushing against steel, the pop of restraints giving way, the crack of electricity through the air.]

No no no no no! Come on! [There's the sound of metal hitting metal, presumably of a hammer against the side of something. But the whining of something under pressure, about to give way only increases.] No. Buggered little- Worrr-kah! [The Doctor's shouting by now, and there's the sound of scraping against the microphone of his NV before a crack even worse than the others starts up, and whatever it is the Doctor's working on starts to scream in protest, metal scratching over metal with a sound not too unlike nails on a chalkboard.]

GRAAAAA- [Is the last thing heard from the Doctor, a snarled out cry of frustration, before there's the start of a small explosion, a roar and a blast and then a jolt of static through the feed for just a second before switching off.

Five minutes later, however, a text message is sent throughout the network]

I hope everyone is staying safe right now.

Isn't St. Patrick's Day coming up? Does the city celebrate it at all? It feels like a fun holiday would be good right now, plus I found this. [He puts a shamrock bowtie to his collar and grins a bit] What do you guys think?
