((ooc: Napoleon’s opening is intimidating and moves for a quick checkmate, but almost never works.))

Whenever you are ready, just relax and We’ll begin.
*closes her eyes, and tries to relax, thinking of nothing but that damned week in hoofingdale*
*Nightmare Moon closes her eyes and touches her horn to the Avengers forehead, and they are both sucked into the Avenger’s memories.*
