hey
met another mutant here in club medieval
a little girl with logan's powers

just thought you'd know

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

I was not aware you were speaking to me.

Regenerative abilities and bone claws, exactly like him? An odd coincidence.

Hola.
Lo siento por molestarte.

John says you are his father, but he keeps making this face
;)

So I don't believe him.
¿Es esto cierto?

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

[ Good Lord John, don't you dare make him explain your weird daddy kink fixation to Laura. ]

No pasa nada.

You shouldn't believe him. He's just teasing you. I am not his father.

un: pyro

[firings]

so, mind telling me about your grandkids?

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

[ Oh, Lord. ]

It's complicated.

They are not my grandchildren, technically speaking. But another version of myself.

[magike]

If I asked for you to accompany me somewhere what would you wish in return?

( because rowena doesn't just assume he'd do it with nothing in return, particularly when he hears of the dangers.

also, rowena, it might have just been simpler to ask if he were still interested in the dragons )

[heavymetals]

An explanation, for starters.

[ He wants to know what he's getting himself into. Then, it depends on what it entails. He does still owe her, after all (he feels like he always will, to be fair). ]

[savingthrows]

you need to help

[ Eleven is a bit of an elusive presence sometimes. She will happily let Laura pull her around, but rarely push herself into spaces, unless purpose drives her. She fails to grasp for connections for the sake of forming emotional bonds, and does not take up space when she feels her presence serves no use, at least not without some prompting.

For her to reach out like this is a rarity. At least as far as Erik is aware - whether or not she spies on him sometimes is another matter entirely. ]

[ That's not worrying at all, and Erik is absolutely not leaping to the worst possible conclusions in his head. ]

I'm on my way.

[ Just gonna drop everything and make a beeline straight there, and in about two minutes he's knocking on the door. ]

You Erik the Magnet Guy?
Laura knows you?

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

[ Magnet Guy. Excuse you. ]

I am Laura's father.

And you are?

@therealMcCoy; a day or two after the farm post

[bestials]

[ After hearing from Charles directly, Hank takes a day or two to think things over and work up the courage, before he finally reaches out to Erik. He can't help but remember his conversation with Alex, and how insistent Alex had been that Erik was someone they needed to be wary of, in contrast to everything Charles has said about how Erik should be trusted, now more than ever. Knowing that all three of them have knowledge of future events that have yet to come to pass for Hank, makes Hank feel more out of his depth than he ever has before. Not even as a pre-teen in Harvard lecture halls did he feel so far behind his peers.

But finally, he gets out his Leaf and goes to message Erik. ]

I saw what you and Charles are planning to do, with the farm. I think it's a good idea. I already told Charles, but I'm here to help teach and work however he needs me to.

I was wondering though, if I could ask you some questions. Charles mentioned Genosha to me, and it made me realize that I really want to catch up to where the rest of you all are, in time.

[heavymetals]

You are all fairly behind me, to be fair. But I find that's all the more reason to be careful about what I choose to share.

You can ask any question you like, though.

[valle]

ᴜsᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: sʜᴀɴᴇ
ᴘʀᴏғɪʟᴇ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: ᴊᴏᴇʏ sᴛᴀʀʀᴇᴛᴛ

I made up my mind.
To take the metal off.
I don't want to be a weapon anymore. I want to just be a daughter.

Is this okay? Can you come still?

[heavymetals]

Of course it's okay. And of course I will be there.

[ She didn't even need to ask. ]

Did you talk to Tony?

[valle]

ᴜsᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: sʜᴀɴᴇ
ᴘʀᴏғɪʟᴇ ɴᴀᴍᴇ: ᴊᴏᴇʏ sᴛᴀʀʀᴇᴛᴛ

The other Tony Stark got me a puppy and Loki invited me to a girls night party!!!

( Very Big News today, dad. She had to share both things Immediately. )

[heavymetals]

I didn't know you wanted another dog.

[ He's not going to touch on the subject of Loki. Erik doesn't like them, doesn't trust them, and would absolutely forbid her from going to this party if he thought she wouldn't be mad at him. ]

What kind of puppy?

sometime after his death, maybe even closer to present day?

[savingthrows]

[ She hasn't quite cold shouldered him. Well, she absolutely has, she just thinks she hasn't. Checking up from a distance with stormy expressions in her eyes. This pain doesn't feel like it should be hers. It's Laura's.

It's like a black pit in Eleven's chest, tight and clenched, and she doesn't know what to do with it. Has never learned what to do with the most volatile emotions gripping hard around her chest. She needs to put this in front of someone, point at it and demand they look at the ugly, twisted thing.

She finds Eric outside, far from others. Marches up to him, and doesn't greet with her awkward 'hi'. Instead she leads with: ]

You promised.

[ She wants to spit the words. And they come out sharp, though not with nearly as much venom as she thought she'd bring. Perhaps her tone is more a front than anything. ]

[heavymetals]

[ El hasn't been quite as regular a presence lately, though Erik has noticed her around. Staring from the distance, watching him when she thinks he can't see her. He doesn't go out of his way to reach out, giving her space, and giving himself some breathing room as well.

Things have been eventful lately, and while Erik didn't exactly have lingering trauma from his death, it still was a lot to come to terms with, and to understand how the Fae managed to bring him back. Assuming that it was the Fae who did it, of course. At this point, he'll believe anything.

At any point he expects El to bridge the gap between them, so he's not surprised at her approach. He's not even surprised that of all the things she brings up, it's his promise that she focuses on. He looks down at her, nodding faintly. ]

I'm sorry. [ He is, truly. Not that he died necessarily, but that he made a promise he knew he could not keep. ] I was trying to save someone else, and I failed.

text; un: eleven

[savingthrows]

[ It's not so much a text - it's a picture. A big plate stacked with a horribly unstable tower of waffles that honestly don't look like they were made with any sort of skill or finesse. Some of them are definitely much too dark. Some of them look like they're still oozing a bit. They're drowning in something that at best guess is hopefully something somewhere in the ballpark of whipped cream, with random fruit pieces like sprinkles or candy, and dollops of what is maybe honey or fruit jam to serve as syrup or sauce. The whole thing looks about 30 seconds away from toppling over. ]

lunch. we share. I want to show you something.

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

Waffles aren't lunch.

[ The only way he could possibly sound more Dad is if he were there right now and she heard him say it aloud, with a look of pure disapproval on his face. He's absolutely not going to eat that for lunch, and if it's up to him, neither is she. (Also that looks awful El, no hate.) ]

Are you in the common area?

text; un: eleven

[savingthrows]

friends don't lie
I need to tell you something bad

un: magneto

[heavymetals]

What's wrong?

[ His immediate thought isn't that she did something bad, more that something bad happened to her. Cue highkey concern. ]

"Christmas" Gift

[vintagecaptain]

[ Either left outside the door or handed over in person is a handmade mug. Steve has themed each mug around the person as much as his developing pottery skills have let him. ]

Happy Hanukkah, Erik.

S. Rogers.

✨

[heavymetals]

[ In return, Steve will receive a small basket with a few fresh vegetables, a loaf of challah bread and a plain journal. A note alongside it with neat handwriting on it. ]

To Steve,

Merry Christmas.

Erik

[ on december 22, the last night of chanukkah, erik will find something either at the farmstead or his room - whichever he's using more right now - and it's just a basket of traditional chanukkah foods. all still warm. ]

[havoked]

[ On the morning of the 22nd, Erik will be able to find a neatly wrapped box sitting outside his door at the farm house. Inside it are a bunch of gardening tools and this coat for the cold days. The note on the box says - ]

Happy Hannukah, Erik. Thought these might come in handy whenever you work on the farm. I promise I'll stop by to help one day.

[ Left outside Erik's farm house door on the afternoon of the 22nd is a messily wrapped box. Inside it is a set of good-looking metal knives. On the box, the note says - ]

to boss daddy,

happy hannukah. i'm sure you'd get a lot of mileage out of these. maybe to stab the next monster that comes our way.

[ Sitting outside Erik's farm house door on the evening of the 22nd is a nicely wrapped box filled with sparkles and decor. Did it suddenly materialize there? Who knows? No one saw that. Inside it are this scarf and some nice cozy-looking pair of socks. The note on the box says - ]

To grandpa,
