The guests they invited arrive at Harry's ridiculously extravagant Plaza suite, where he and Alice have a small, if potentially rockstar, party on the terrace.
Recovering from the Gala - and the activities after - Cersei runs into Shinobi at the Hellfire Club and the two strike a deal. Backdated to September 14th.
Fraser returns to the United States for the new school year and stays the night with his former roommate. Shinobi Shaw wins the acts of generosity game vs. the rich eccentrics. Hands down.
After no small amount of scheming, Shinobi attempts to apologize to Philip and Noriko. It is a predictably over-the-top, but nevertheless heartfelt, gesture.
Shinobi needs distracting. Benton is pressganged into service, but gets an all-access pass to the Met out of it. Probably not the worst deal conceivable ...
Concerned Pietro checks in on Shinobi not long after his trip to Geneva. Shinobi confesses about what happened and why, leaving P with much to think about. And then there's the Noriko Situation...
Warning for vague discussion of past domestic abuse and for Shinobi, you know. Fucking up his jerk of a father.
Shortly after his arrival at Xavier's, Harry is swept away with Tony and Shinobi for a night out. They navigate potential awkward moments as only three such trust fund babies can. Not pictured: Shinobi's inevitable encroaching drunkenness turning him into a lap cat by the end of the night.
Shinobi and Pietro do what they do best: drape themselves over each other and feed their egos to bursting. (As usual, their sparkle masks a lot of actually serious conversation.)
Shinobi and Felix spend a day at the Club... except it isn't day, it isn't the club, and even time passing is suspect. Felix crafts a dream to show Shinobi the real extent of his powers, and to cover topics too important to speak out loud: the other members of the Black Court, the nature of Felix's true intentions, and the masks that both of them are wearing.
