knocking at the door [open]
Who: Morph and you!
Where: The newly-spawned X-Mansion
What: Both closed and open prompts taking place in the X-Mansion this month! Feel free to use this space for your own closed threads in the mansion, just make sure to note that in the subject line.
Warnings: Nothing yet
A. DISCOVERY - CLOSED TO ROGUE, BACKDATED TO OCT 5TH
[Morph was in Archangel's winged form, on the search for the missing Peter by air, taking advantage of the good eyesight that came along with it to check out alleys and rooftops. That was when they first spotted it - something new just outside of Aldrip, a large building that looked achingly familiar the closer they came to it. It nagged at them, enough that once they finished checking that part of the city, Morph only briefly landed on a rooftop before winging it in that direction.
What they saw nearly made them forget to flap their wings. The mansion was unmistakable, looking for all the world like a someone had scooped it up and dropped it there. Morph circled around it once, then landed in the front yard, staring up at the building in sheer disbelief as they shifted back to their regular form. The last time they had seen the mansion, it was a demolished, scorched ruin. Morph had shared a beer with Logan right there on the lawn while waiting for the fires to die down. But this mansion wasn't damaged in the slightest - it could've come from the day before the Prime Sentinels attacked, or any of the more peaceful days before that point.
After a long moment, they finally fish out their tablet to write a quick text to Rogue.]
B. OPEN HOUSE
[After the announcement made on the network, the mansion's been left open for the Chosen to wander into. For anyone interested a bright yellow sign has been posted with an arrow pointing towards the elevator, and another sign inside the elevator letting guests know which floor will leave them outside the Danger Room.
The rest of the mansion's doors are unlocked, left open for anyone to wander around as they wish. There's a few locations that might be of interest, including a pool and a basketball court outside. The first floor has a sizeable library and a living room with a big-screen CRT and a VCR, along with a shelf full of VHS tapes. The second basement, above the one containing the Danger Room, has its own gym and locker rooms, along with some laboratory space that's going unused.
The only places that are semi off-limits are the office on the first floor and the bedrooms on the second floor. Start rifling around in either area and chances are that one of the new residents will find you doing it, unless they're sufficiently distracted elsewhere. The mansion will also get locked back up around 10 PM each night, so no late night visits unless you ask about it!]
C. WILDCARD
[Morph can be found pretty much anywhere on the mansion grounds if you need to talk to them!]

hey, leave the city and fly southeast, right now.
no one's dying but you NEED to see this.

They ended up back out on the front lawn, mostly because they wanted to be easy to spot when Rogue flew in. Morph is sitting on the grass with their tablet in hand, periodically glancing up at the sky in between checking the network.]
no subject
given by the sudden pause and just... floating there, her body language is extremely telling. she is completely in shock, and maybe appearing a little skeptical that their home is really there. could this be system's doing? a trick? the entire school was destroyed! so there's no possible way it's down below her. rogue is still some distance away, so if morph wants to chat with her, they're going to have to fly to her. ]
no subject
Once they're at about the same height in the air, they stay a safe distance away since they have to keep the razor-sharp wings flapping, their expression looking all the more serious while it's on Warren's face.]
It's really there. I took a quick look inside, and it's just like... before the Prime Sentinels attacked us. I wanted to wait for you before taking a closer look.
[It went without saying that there could be a dangerous surprise in there, but Morph didn't know for sure. The mansion had been dead quiet when they had ventured in there.]
no subject
Did the AI went into our minds while we were snoozin', and pick it out from our memories?
[ that seems more plausible than having it magically appear out of nowhere, especially when their home was in shambles the last they've seen it. but rogue steadily begins to descend foot by foot along with her comrade, her expression still looking rather skeptical. ]
no subject
[It was a weird thing to think about! And another reason for the two of them to go through the mansion and make sure everything was as it should be. It might be possible to answer that one just by taking a good look around.
Morph spaces out their wing beats to sink further down along with her, peering down at the mansion below them. Everything seemed as it should be; the pool was even full of water, and the basketball court intact. There was no lake behind the mansion anymore, however. The building had been placed down whole, along with some of the yard, but it wasn't the entire acres-large property by any means.]
Hey, do you think this means we got our stuff back?
no subject
[ not touching earth just yet, the southerner glides towards the front door, but then her gloved hand hovers tentatively over the doorknob — like she's afraid if she touches it, it will vanish in front of them or maybe burst into flames.
but she swallows thickly and curls her digits around the door handle, then twists. the building creaks out its greeting, but the eerie silence of their home feels less than welcoming. however regardless the shivery air, rogue lands gracefully and cautiously marches in with her emeralds casting to the left, the right, to the floorboards, and the ceiling. just all over to be sure this isn't some sort of hoax created by the simulation. ]
no subject
Yep, it was a little creepy for the mansion to be this quiet. Back in their own world, it only got this way in the early hours of the morning, but only on the occasions when Morph was the only one dealing with insomnia and didn't end up with accidental company. Right now, though... you really would be able to hear a mouse, if there was anything living left in there at all.]
I'll get the lights on, [they suggest, feeling an urge to talk just to fill the silence. Morph moves to hit the light switch, then moves on the short distance to the living room to do the same, banishing some of the gloom.]
You're right about your clothes. Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one. But so far, so good?
