it's only you and me and all of your fears scream -- BoA words: 248 notes: nada Everything was going off the rails.
Eddie wasn't sure what the hell had happened (well, okay, he knew that everything probably would have gone much smoother if Roy and Mason hadn't crashed the party), but the seance had been interrupted by upset spirits that didn't like an audience. He supposed Seer only had clearance to have a couple of people in the cemetery and no one liked uninvited guests.
While Seer had seemed like they were trying to talk down the spirits, they weren't listening. Instead, they still tossed projectiles at Eddie, Roy, and Mason. Roy was handling many of them with his abilities and Mason virtually disappeared, so Eddie took a few seconds to rev up his own music.
What could soothe spirits? Eddie put his music on a playlist of instrumentals, ones with flutes and pianos, soft keys that he hoped would help calm down everyone. The music floated from his headphones and he mimed pulling out the soundwaves from the speakers as he heard the music. The volume increased with his abilities and he gestured widely, the soundwaves soaring towards where the spirits (or, at least, where most of the stones and flower vases were being held up in the air) to try to either soothe the spirits or make them pause long enough for he and his friends to get out of there.
"We didn't mean to disturb you," he said, trying to keep his tone as calm as the music. "Please... stand down!"

Their arms were suddenly pinned to their sides from beneath their cloak, and Seer twisted enough to see one of their client's friends behind them. To Mason's question, Seer blurted out, "No! I was just borrowing the space. They're not loyal to me or anything--Salem, he doesn't mean any harm, put that down!"
There was a decently-sized decorative stone that was floating towards Mason's head. At Seer's words, the stone paused before dropping unceremoniously to the ground. In a murmur, Seer said, "Salem is loyal to me. And does not like all of your... tricks."
Seer inclined their head towards Roy controlling water projectiles and Mason's camouflage abilities went unspoken. Despite their tone holding both surprise and suspicion at the so-called tricks before them, they stayed quiet as Eddie turned on his music and watched as soundwaves were directed in the general direction of the irritated spirits.
The piano music seemed to soothe the spirits, actually. Many of the flower vases and stones were slowly released, clunking to the ground, and Seer took a deep breath as the spirits seemed to calm down.
"Let go of me," Seer said to Mason. Louder, Seer said, "Spirits, please go back and rest. We will be leaving." ( Foxtrot Hydro Incognito)

Tag: Foxtrot Incognito Nightcrawler:seer Words: 158 Roy slowed down his own defensive maneuvers as his friends got into their own places. Mason was by Seer and Eddie's abilities seemed to be the most effective against the spirits. While Roy stayed in a defensive position, the remainder of the water he was controlling hovering by his side, he watched and listened as Eddie gestured arcs of soothing soundwaves towards where Roy presumed was the majority of angry ghosts.
The music appeared to work and Roy reached over to lightly touch Eddie's shoulder. With a glance to Seer and Mason, Roy said, "Let's get going... We'll move slow."
As the group began to start leaving, Roy said, "Eddie and, uh, Seer... Mason and I really didn't mean to interrupt. We were just worried about our friend. And, yeah, none of what you were doing was any of our business," he added specifically to Eddie, "but we could clearly tell something was bothering you. You scared us."

Okay, so that didn't work.
Mason was actually about to let go of Seer when he first spotted the decorative stone heading towards his, well, head, but Seer thankfully understood that Mason wasn't going to harm them. The one spirit (or ghost or whatever it was) called Salem at least listened to Seer.
It was clear that their mutant abilities weren't winning them any favors with the ghosts of the cemetery, but Eddie's music seemed to soothe the spirits enough so the group could start inching their way out of the place. Mason released Seer's arms and caught up with Roy and Eddie as Roy spoke with their friend about why they interfered.
"Yeah, man." Mason nudged Eddie's arm. "Sorry to interrupt everything, but we like you and want to make sure you're safe."
He turned to Seer and added, "You too, I suppose, although I don't know who the hell you are. You alright from... all of that?" He gestured vaguely to the area they were leaving behind pretty much in a mess with broken flower vases and stones strewn about. Mason vaguely hoped there were no security cameras around.
