🔍 Urgent Message from Kitty Pryde: Mystery in the Mansion 🐉

Dear Students,

Lockheed, my loyal dragon, has gone missing, and I need your help to find him. Whether he flew off or was taken, we must uncover the truth together.

🕵️ The Quest Begins
Begin your investigation in Xavier’s Office, where crucial clues await. Explore the mansion, as each room holds secrets that will lead you closer to finding Lockheed. The X-Men and I will be here to assist you, but we need your sharp minds and keen eyes to solve this mystery.

🧩 Clues and Teamwork
Pay close attention to every detail, and don't hesitate to team up with your fellow students and the X-Men. Use your powers of deduction and collaboration to piece together the puzzle and uncover Lockheed’s whereabouts.

🏆 The Reward
Successfully find Lockheed, and you’ll be entered to win two VIP tickets to The Uncanny Experience next year. Share your success on social media to alert Professor Xavier and celebrate your achievement.

The safety of Lockheed is in your hands. Are you up to the challenge?

Sincerely,

Kitty Pryde
Leader of House Pryde

🦋 Experience the Totality of Psylocke’s Psychic Might!

We are excited to welcome Caroline Cosplay to The Uncanny Experience! A mother, wife, ninja, wolf advocate, and USMC veteran, Caroline will be portraying Psylocke, a character she has been a fan of since 1993.

Psylocke, also known as Kwannon, is a powerful mutant with a vast array of telepathic and telekinetic abilities. From her razor-sharp psychic blades to her formidable telepathic powers, Psylocke is a force to be reckoned with. Caroline’s portrayal promises to capture the essence of this dynamic and complex character.
A fun story from her freshman year at Xavier Institute: Caroline met X-Men artist Nathan Szerdy in the Mutant Market. Now, she’s gracing the cover of X-Men Forever #1. Congrats, Caroline!
