[Story Thread]: MM, Act II: A House Divided
Serena stays out of Zoey's way and remains seated on the floor.
"What a butthead. 'More than the sum of your powers,' when the only thing relevant about any of us to him or anyone he knows are our powers and while he's showing just how powerful he is. Screw the rules about hiding. Imma start an Instagram. And a TikTok. And a Twitch, once we get the Internet set up. I mean, look at this," she gestures at herself and her perfectly-toned, perfectly-shaped body, "I can make so much money being pretty on the Internet, but that usually requires connections and staff. I have powers too, though, so I bet it'll be way easier."
Even after weeping pitifully, Serena is devastatingly gorgeous. She holds her hands up on either side of her face and makes jazz hands, then she literally sparkles, with an aura of roses and pink, like a bishoujo protagonist.
"I shouldn't hide this from the world!"
She looks over at Zoey, then down at Kate, who she is still petting. "Thanks, you guys. I really appreciate you sticking with me even though I'm so high-maintenance."
Beat.
"Barnell is fine, I guess, but I doubt he's gonna leave. I tried to get him to download the mansion's dossiers on all the mutants, but he wouldn't do it. He's too attached to the rules. I guess you could say he's a big chicken."
Her cheeky grin could charm the frumpiest of schoolmarms. She knows what she said.
"And uh, I know he's probably listening, and I was channeling Usagi there, but good one. About Doctor Pool Cue being on his feet."
The GM is too busy to run any private scenes, but he did say that Barnell wouldn't be willing to steal the dossiers without "being convinced."
