House of M - The Beginning

Who: Billy Kaplan + Anyone who wants to be involved in the House of M Plot + Related CR + Anyone Really
What: Um. The House of M Plot.
When: October 1st-7th
Where: Literally anywhere in Luceti, yo
Summary: Billy returns from a kidnapping feeling a bit, er, different. A white light envelops the village for just a moment, and when it fades... well. All kinds of things are different, actually.
Rating: Varies, anything above R take it elsewhere!

Still accepting last minute sign-ups, if anyone is interested.


It starts off so innocently, early on the morning of October 1st. A burst of light, a warm rush of energy that consumes everything it touches, and it's gentle enough to feel like stepping out into sunlight from the shade. It's so brief that some people might not even notice it happened. But there are certainly... differences. Some subtle, some not. And those changed won't even understand the problem.

After all, why would perfection be a problem?

The truth is, there are no problems. There can't be. It's perfect, Billy thinks. Believes it. His belief is his reality, and now, it's their reality. It all has to be perfect; they deserve it, all of them, for one reason or another. And he'll do whatever he has to protect that perfection from being tainted, ruined, taken away from them.

Teddy died so this could happen, after all.

So what is your new reality?

It's real to the people living it. [She leans close for a moment, her gaze intent.] It's real enough when they go home each day to a family. Children. They will fight to keep it, if they can. Are you sure destroying that happiness is the right thing to do?

[She doesn't know if she wants to hear his answer. She doesn't want to think about what he believes, contemplate whether or not what he says is more real than this. But there's part of her that will always doubt a perfect life. She's been through Shifts, she's been through worse, and she can look at the blunt facts from angles others won't want to see.

If he was right... how long did they have?]

[He's silent for a moment when she looks at him like that, speaks like that. And part of him would love to let them all just keep living like this. He could even leave it to the Malnosso, because he's sure sooner or later they'll intervene. But still.]

And what happens when whoever's done this decides that you don't quite fit right? When they decided that you all just need a little tweak to fit in better? Is that okay?

[Something sharp flares in her gaze at that, something icy and dangerous and she gives him a slow smile for a moment before shaking her head. That hadn't been directed at him, not really, but he'd brushed against something all the same.]

No. But every action has consequences. Make sure you know yours are worth the risk before you make them, Max.
