ITP: Kurt built Rogue a coffin

[fuzzybluebamf]

[So one day BEFORE Halloween, there is a fuzzy blue elf trying to drag a very nicely-made coffin into an acceptable position in the front yard. His loving sister keeps making him move it. It will fit in nicely with the tombstones, cobwebs, giant spiders, ghosts, and jack-o-bat army that are scattered artfully around the cabin. Also that pesky Sentinel and the creepy dadneto hammock additions, but who's counting those?]

I can't believe you talked me into this. What are you going to do, sleep in it?

((Open to everyone who would possibly have a reason to stop by the X-Cabin. Feel free to have antics as you see fit, since I missed most of the Halloween things.))

Really? Then we should give you the best Halloween spirit! How about a tour of our spooky front lawn?

Sounds great!

[fuzzybluebamf]

Then follow me, my lady.

[directs her attention to the far side of the lawn]

Over here we have a herd of murderous giant spiders attacking this unsuspecting mannequin. I'm assuming we obtained the mannequin under shady circumstances, but that's besides the point. Notice the large, pointy teeth and red eyes on the spiders and the mannequin's desire to decorate the lawn with body parts.

Wow!

[fuzzybluebamf]

And over here we have the spooky graveyard, completely with tombstones, cobwebs, and some zombies that Rogue convinced needed to stay in the half-dug holes. It looks like Al B. Late even fell asleep in his.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

These tombstones aren't for people who really died, right?

[fuzzybluebamf]

Nah, they're fake! See, they all have funny names if you say them out loud. Like "Al B. Late" sounds like "I'll be late" which is a terrible pun. They're just for decoration.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

Got it.

[fuzzybluebamf]

I personally like the ghosts the best. Especially the way they circle around the house and make the "ooooo" sounds. It's clever, right?

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

How'd you do that?

[fuzzybluebamf]

Put little sound boxes in the head part of the ghosts. And they're on a circuit that spins around the cabin. I didn't do as good as Forge, but it isn't bad, if I do say so myself.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

This is all really cool.

[fuzzybluebamf]

This is the proper way to have Halloween. At the mansion we spend weeks setting everything up into the scariest haunted house ever.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

I wish I could see that.

[fuzzybluebamf]

If there aren't superhero rules against coming to visit, I don't see why you can't. We'll just need to figure out how the world-hopping thing works first.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure someone can help us figure it out.

[fuzzybluebamf]

My thoughts exactly! We've got enough people here who know how it works. The only thing stopping us from testing it out is the pesky barrier.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

Right now the barrier's keeping us all from getting eaten, so maybe we should let it stay for now.

[fuzzybluebamf]

Oh, right, of course. I'm totally cool with not getting eaten. Besides, it's almost Christmas, and we'd all be going home for the holidays. You couldn't come visit and have the whole mansion be empty.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

I'd really like to meet your friends. ...I mean, hanging out with you is fine too!

[fuzzybluebamf]

No offense taken! I'd love for you to meet everyone at the Institute. You'd get along great with them, especially Kitty.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

Does she have powers too?

[fuzzybluebamf]

She does. She can phase through solid objects.

[stillagreenmiss.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's really hard.

[fuzzybluebamf]

Since I can't do it, I'm assuming it is. But it's pretty easy for her. She can phase other people and objects, too.
