33 Apocalypse Ave, Tuesday Afternoon

It was October, even if the weather didn't match Tumblr's expectations of the month, and Kathy was getting into the spooky spirit. She'd decorated the living room with some window decals and a small stuffed bat for the cats to play with, there were a chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven and a bowl of ganache cooling on the counter for chocolate monster cookies, and two gallons of apple cider sat in the fridge, waiting to be mulled or spiked with cinnamon-flavored booze.

Now she was sprawled on the couch, playing through her repertoire of songs she'd learned on the guitar, and trying to figure out if she could learn to play Bad Moon Rising before it ceased being relevant. Hmm, maybe she should try to play something off of the Bad Seeds' Murder Ballads instead.

"Just means I need to get more creative," Raven decided.

Perhaps a prehensile houseplant. . . .

Okay, Kathy could admit that that would be startling. Though any unknown houseplants that mysteriously showed up by the cookies were going to get a serious side eye.

"At no point in the history of mutantkind has that ever been a comforting thing to hear," Kathy declared.

See, that just meant Raven should invest in a strange houseplant as a distraction.

"I think you're underestimating the history of mutantkind," Raven said.

Strategic houseplant deployment. How cunning.

"Well in my world, we only just really started showing up," Kathy conceded, the last of the cookies from this batch on the cooling rack. She started spooning the second batch onto the sheet now. "What's it like in yours?"
