+ | [[Nathan Dayspring| Nathan Dayspring's]] birthday was marked by a rather large party, including body shots care of bartender [[Lillian Crawley-Jeffries]]. Lil got a new toy - a motorbike - with the help of [[Wanda Maximoff - Phase 1 | Wanda Maximoff]], which was the source of admiration for several people. New student [[Doreen Green]] arrived from California, welcomed by her old friend [[Julian Keller]]. [[Jean-Phillipe Colbert]] returned from [[Attilan]] and acquired a new job as [[Jean-Paul Beaubier - Phase 1 | Jean-Paul Beaubier's]] TA and a new roommate, [[Laurie Collins]]. [[Carmilla Black]] learned, in the wake of a thread started by [[Illyana Rasputin - Phase 1 | Illyana Rasputin]], why calling [[Kyle Gibney]] "Dog-Boy" wasn't appropriate and apologised. [[Jake Gavin]] and [[Adrienne Frost]] (eventually) had a date and found they enjoyed it far more than either expected.[[Jennie Stavros]] was dumped by her boyfriend and shared her ire on the journals, causing a journal war. [[Kevin Ford]] visited to attend the [[Midsummer's Nightmare| play]], which went on after all after the [[New Mutants]] captured their 'curse', a fellow-thespian and mutant with the power of invisibility and a chip on his shoulder about casting. [[Callie Betto]] found she was able to use her powers again, [[Fred Dukes - Phase 1|Fred Dukes]] sought help with the pain caused by his and Dori went feral after a bad moment in self-defence class. [[Amanda Sefton]] proved you're never to old to have a powers manifestation, finding herself mysteriously in London on April Fool's day and taking some time off to have [[Moira MacTaggart - Phase 1|Moira MacTaggart]] examine her at [[Muir Island Research Facility - Phase 1|Muir Island]]. One new RA, in addition to [[Janet Van Dyne]], was announced to cover the expanding student base: [[Danielle Moonstar]]. | ||
+ | [[Doug Ramsey]] and [[Manuel de la Rocha]] were formally inducted into the White Court of the [[Hellfire Club - Phase 1|Hellfire Club]], as White Knight and White Bishop respectively. | ||
+ | A ground-breaking [[Congress of Behram| congress on mutation]] was held in Germany, with various members of the [[Xavier Institute - Phase 1| Institute]], [[Elpis]], the [[Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs]] and the [[Red X]] program attending. Members of [[X-Force - Phase 1|X-Force]] attended also, alerted by [[Alexei Vazhin]] to the possibility of the assassination of [[William Bastion]]. The assassins were stopped and dealt with by the [[Imperial Guard]] and the conference continued, with [[Charles Xavier]], and others, meeting with [[Shiar| Lilandra Neramani]]. The [[X-Men - Phase 1|X-Men]] again encountered the Imperial Guard, this time as opposition as they [[X-Men Mission: Eric The Red| assisted]] [[Christopher Summers]] in finding a ship that had rescued a crew of mutant children en route from Indonesia to India, to be used as child soldiers. | ||
+ | Tragedy struck closer to home, with the uncle of one of [[Leonard Samson| Dr. Samson's]] patients [[3 2 1 Contact| blowing up]] the [[SCCS| Salem Center Counselling Service]] in an anti-mutant action. Samson's patient, a young girl called Jada, was killed and Samson himself decided to move into the mansion with its better security to avoid presenting a danger to others should he be targeted again. In the wake of this, [[Yvette Petrovic]] returned with Kevin to the [[West Coast Annex]] for an extended trip, having been helping with the dead girl's therapy. | ||
+ | Nathan returned to the [[X-Men - Phase 1|X-Men]] training rotation, and both [[Angelica Jones]] and Julian talked to [[Scott Summers]] about the potential of becoming trainees at the right age. The [[Danger Room]] (and Scott's knee) were broken during a training session. Jean-Paul returned to Quebec and found himself dealing with a hostage situation involving the mutant who had killed his father figure and now wanted Jean-Paul to kill him. Forced into the act in order to save the hostage, Jean-Paul was held by authorities for several days before being allowed to return. Gossip ran rife in the school, thanks to [[Johnny Gallo]] overhearing a conversation and the [[Stepford Cuckoos - Phase 1|Stepford Cuckoos]] spreading it about and in order to counteract the miscommunication, Jean-Paul made a full disclosure post in his journal, which greatly angered [[Inez Temple - Phase 1|Inez Temple]], upset about the apparent unfairness of the law and circumstances in light of her father's jailing. | ||
+ | The Laurie Collins World Tour hit an interesting pothole in Egypt when Laurie and [[Crystal Amaquelin]], who had been joined by [[Monet St. Croix - Phase 1 | Monet St. Croix]] and [[Kurt Sefton]], incurred the wrath of a somewhat unhinged mutant archeologist, who then 'possessed' Monet through an ancient necklace and led her to believe she was the incarnation of Sekhmet. The weirdness continued back in the mansion, with Jean-Paul and Nathan indulging in a rather spectacular prank war in order to distract people. | ||
+ | |||
+ | And finally... things did not bode well for Jake's missing arm as he began experiencing a variety of unpleasant things being done to it, [[Rappaccini's Daughter| for what purpose]], he did not know. | ||

Nathan Dayspring's birthday was marked by a rather large party, including body shots care of bartender Lillian Crawley-Jeffries. Lil got a new toy - a motorbike - with the help of Wanda Maximoff, which was the source of admiration for several people. New student Doreen Green arrived from California, welcomed by her old friend Julian Keller. Jean-Phillipe Colbert returned from Attilan and acquired a new job as Jean-Paul Beaubier's TA and a new roommate, Laurie Collins. Carmilla Black learned, in the wake of a thread started by Illyana Rasputin, why calling Kyle Gibney "Dog-Boy" wasn't appropriate and apologised. Jake Gavin and Adrienne Frost (eventually) had a date and found they enjoyed it far more than either expected.Jennie Stavros was dumped by her boyfriend and shared her ire on the journals, causing a journal war. Kevin Ford visited to attend the play, which went on after all after the New Mutants captured their 'curse', a fellow-thespian and mutant with the power of invisibility and a chip on his shoulder about casting. Callie Betto found she was able to use her powers again, Fred Dukes sought help with the pain caused by his and Dori went feral after a bad moment in self-defence class. Amanda Sefton proved you're never to old to have a powers manifestation, finding herself mysteriously in London on April Fool's day and taking some time off to have Moira MacTaggart examine her at Muir Island. One new RA, in addition to Janet Van Dyne, was announced to cover the expanding student base: Danielle Moonstar.
Doug Ramsey and Manuel de la Rocha were formally inducted into the White Court of the Hellfire Club, as White Knight and White Bishop respectively.
A ground-breaking congress on mutation was held in Germany, with various members of the Institute, Elpis, the Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs and the Red X program attending. Members of X-Force attended also, alerted by Alexei Vazhin to the possibility of the assassination of William Bastion. The assassins were stopped and dealt with by the Imperial Guard and the conference continued, with Charles Xavier, and others, meeting with Lilandra Neramani. The X-Men again encountered the Imperial Guard, this time as opposition as they assisted Christopher Summers in finding a ship that had rescued a crew of mutant children en route from Indonesia to India, to be used as child soldiers.
Tragedy struck closer to home, with the uncle of one of Dr. Samson's patients blowing up the Salem Center Counselling Service in an anti-mutant action. Samson's patient, a young girl called Jada, was killed and Samson himself decided to move into the mansion with its better security to avoid presenting a danger to others should he be targeted again. In the wake of this, Yvette Petrovic returned with Kevin to the West Coast Annex for an extended trip, having been helping with the dead girl's therapy.
Nathan returned to the X-Men training rotation, and both Angelica Jones and Julian talked to Scott Summers about the potential of becoming trainees at the right age. The Danger Room (and Scott's knee) were broken during a training session. Jean-Paul returned to Quebec and found himself dealing with a hostage situation involving the mutant who had killed his father figure and now wanted Jean-Paul to kill him. Forced into the act in order to save the hostage, Jean-Paul was held by authorities for several days before being allowed to return. Gossip ran rife in the school, thanks to Johnny Gallo overhearing a conversation and the Stepford Cuckoos spreading it about and in order to counteract the miscommunication, Jean-Paul made a full disclosure post in his journal, which greatly angered Inez Temple, upset about the apparent unfairness of the law and circumstances in light of her father's jailing.
The Laurie Collins World Tour hit an interesting pothole in Egypt when Laurie and Crystal Amaquelin, who had been joined by Monet St. Croix and Kurt Sefton, incurred the wrath of a somewhat unhinged mutant archeologist, who then 'possessed' Monet through an ancient necklace and led her to believe she was the incarnation of Sekhmet. The weirdness continued back in the mansion, with Jean-Paul and Nathan indulging in a rather spectacular prank war in order to distract people.
And finally... things did not bode well for Jake's missing arm as he began experiencing a variety of unpleasant things being done to it, for what purpose, he did not know.
