Percy spots Loki’s intro post and decides to visit before they bump into each other, A reunion between two friends, or a ghost story.
( My life has gotten infinitely stranger since I came to this school )

Jean and Wanda | Backdated

[ax_scarletwitch]

Wanda decides to check out Scott's love interest. It goes better than one might expect!

( And seeing as Scott's promised to play sperm donor for that if I don't have any other offers? I figure I should probably check out the girl he's been stammering and blushing over. )

School Announcement: Nick Gleason's Bereavement

[ax_professorx]

All the students and faculty had been assembled in the school's rarely-used auditorium--the latter had been assembled in a line on the raised platform which was the central focus of the room, the former in the rows of seats radiating around it in rising tiers. Professor Xavier soon rolled into view from the wings, his expression somber, and halted beside the podium which would normally have served as the center point of a student assembly. Turning in his chair to face the assembly, his back to the gathered teachers and staff, Xavier spoke, and though he had left the microphone in place upon the lectern his voice was clear throughout the wide space, audible in even the most distant corners.

"My students," the Professor began, "fellow instructors. Not long ago, one of our own, Nick Gleason, suffered an unthinkable loss while on break at home with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Gleason were attacked by armed assailants, who fatally wounded them while they attempted to see to Nick's safety. I dispatched a team from the school in order to stabilize the situation as soon as I learned of it ... Unfortunately, they arrived too late to save our Wolfpup's mother and father. They did retrieve Nick, safe and physically unharmed, and the assailants are now all in the custody of local law enforcement and awaiting trial, but the shocking brutality of this tragedy cannot be overstated. We are affording Nick all possible access to grief and other forms of counseling, with the aim of helping him to recover as fully as possible. We offer the same to all students currently in attendance who might feel shaken or disturbed in light of these events." Xavier folded his hands before his head, tucked his brow into his splayed fingers for a moment, then looked up again.

"When one of us is injured, then all of us are injured," he said. "And the pain of one mutant is the pain of all mutants. Now is the time when it is most important for our small community to band together. So that Nick will understand he is not alone, however acute his grief. So that all of us will understand we are not alone. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them now."
