X-Men

[Chronicler]

Sky

I realised I had forgotten about my guitar. "Hold on" I said, "I'm just going to fetch my guitar"
"I'll be waiting" said Vincent. "Be right back" I said. I rushed to the main building. To an onlooker, it might have looked wierd, since I didn't head for the main doors. Instead I headed to the side of the building and crawled up the wall to my window, which I always left open. As I looked outside saw that many people were staring at me. Maybe there was some kind of policy against crawling up the walls.
I removed my guitar from it's case and decided to take the normal route. I ran down the hallway and when I turned the corner and nearly tripped over Joseph and another girl who were on the floor. I stopped suddenly. It wasn't as though traction was a problem for me.
"What are you two doing?" I asked. "I'm not exactly sure what the rules are here, but I'm sure the Professor has a policy against sexual activity in the hallways" I said smiling. "Joseph? Are you coming or are you going to sit here all day with your lady friend" I said flashing her a smile. She was hot. "or are you coming back downstairs?"

Jones:

In a blur of activity, I am asked to help with the intruder only to find myself paralised. Finally free from that, the intruder is gone and I am surrounded by people I don't know.

Exit stage right. I walk down the hall toward the main exit. I need some fresh air. Across the hall from me, at one of the many corners of the building, I see a guy collide into an obviously new student and they hit the floor. He start apologizing and another man almost trips over them.

Seeming to know at least one of the mutants, he reaches out his hand to help them up. Both of the guys have guitars and I wonder to myself...

I walk to where they are and ask, "You guys need some rhythm? Cause I'm a walking set of drums."

Vincent

I look up at the sky as I think about the two friends I just met. 'I'm so tired of these powers' I think to myself, and yet everybody else seems like there in such a hurry to go out and be super jocks...to be fair Joseph really was polite and Sky although obviously uncomfortable with my effect went out of his way to be nice to me. I came here because I was promised away to control my gifts and to lead a more normal life, but so far except for Joseph and Sky all Im seeing is the same testosterone driven power games I pull my shades down and strum my guitar...I catch my self playing Lennons 'Imagine'...man I am getting soft...but I have to belive that our powers can do more than alienate us from the rest of of our race and draw us to fight with others of our kind.

As I slip further into my thoughts I am awakened by an offer from some one who plays drums. I cant help but smile. In an impossible world a band sounds like a lot of fun. "Sure...the world needs to march to the beat of a diffrent drummer...Im Vincent"

 

[Quiet_Cool]

New character...if there's room for one more...

Character Profile:

Birth Name: Kane Posh
Nickname: Bastard (a.k.a. Bastard Child) known to those close to him as B.C.
Age: 23
Height: 5-9
Weight: 180 lbs. (6% body fat)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown. (his head is shaved, however)
Distinctive traits:
Piercings: right ear, four times on the bottom and once on the top. Left ear, eigth times, from bottom to top. Left eyebrow, twice, with barbells. Tongue, twice, in the middle and on the tip. His bottom lip is peirced on the left, where he tends to wear a hoop. A barbell pierces beneath his lower lip.
Tattoos: One in the front of his left bicep: A black and white sun. One around his left ankle, a chain, covered in seaweed and floating in pale blue water, as though he has been chained to something and dropped into the river or ocean. On his lower back, just above his tailbone, a black and white tattoo shows the bones beneath, as though his skin has been torn away to show what's beneath; it stretches from his tail bone to a few inches above his waist and outward to each hip, leaving it the shape of a diamond. A black and silver pentagram just below his stomach naval about twice the size of a silver dollar.
Abilities: Bastard has a variety of traits, common among mutants. He is mildly telepathic (as in, he can sense when someone is near, but not read their mind), he is slightly faster than your average mutant, he has slightly stronger healing abilities, he is a little more agile than your average mutant, and a little stronger than he appears, slightly more intelligent. You get the picture. But none of these traits leave him as a stand-out. The only thing (that he knows of) that makes him different from those around him is his immunity to psychic probing. He can resist psychic abilities from other mutants quite easily. Only Prof. X could read his mind without his willing it. AS a student at the Academy, Bastard has mastered a number of martial arts, making him both a lethal weapon as an ally, and a worthy foe, but he has not found the one power that will define his mutant capabilities (although the Professor has assured him he will someday).
Temperament: Bastard has always been a loner, mostly because he alienates himself, breeding his own anger and making it stronger. He remembers nothing before the age of twelve, when he was first enrolled in the Academy. He has joined, left, and rejoined the Academy multiple times, but never graduated, and hence has never become an X-man. Still, when he wishes to feel at home, he returns unfailingly. His general statement to the world is: "Fuck it! We all die someday anyway!" This, along with his unceasing blatant negativity toward others, have earned him his nickname.

OOC: apologies for the long profile. Just wanted to be thorough...Hope I haven't offended anybody with his name also...LOL

[Morgoth]

Timebomb glided off. God, he hoped that none of those planeswalkers would attack any of the planes he currently posessed. He just wasn't strong enough to go into combat for them just yet. Now, just what could he do to waste time? He had an idea. He would practice some spells he had learned somewhere. Raising up both hands, he began to mutter in a language that felt evil and good, light and dark. He spoke of fire and water joining together in a beautiful meddley of power.

[LAVA GODDESSS]

LAVA

(ooc. Sorry Maniac, but my computer wouldn't post. I have that prob every once and a while, plus I was having a real hard time keeping up with everyone else's post...is it too late for me to respond to your post? I won't ever let that happen again, promise, I will find a computer next time...PROMISE....or, if you want me to delete this post...just let me know, and I will happily oblige)


LAVA:

"I have missed you so much." I said as he hugged me tightly.

"You are such a dag (funny person), " I smiled sweetly at him as he gave me a look of intrigue, both to what he has been up to , and to me.

"Still charming the ladies I see." Some of the newer mutants were giggling in groups, staring at him.

I tugged at his hair playfully, "so what is this all about?"
I raised my eyebrows. I wish I had known what to say to him. It had been so long, but I was actually nervous to talk to the bloke, since when was I nervous?

I smiled at him, tracing my finger along the tribal tatoo at his arm. "and where is this from?"

 

[Maniac9538]

OOC: you better not delete it!!! Glad to finally have ya back cutie!!!


IC:
I smirked and just stared at Lava.
'Well the guys still love checking you out hun.'

'Well the hair was a personal choice, got sick of the crew cut so grew it out. As for the tattoo? Well let's just say me, booze and bets on pain threshold don't mix too well.' I smiled at her.
'How's the search for the twin sis been going? You know if you ever need help I'm at your beck and call 24/7' My hand cupped her cheek softly, she was an X-men so that loyalty was there but she also was someone I cared about. I hear giggiling and whispering behind us.

'hmmmm seems were making people jealous Lava.'

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Bastard

I can hear the wind whipping by as I weave in and out of traffic, leaving the cars behind me in a hurry and heading around a bend in the highway. The motorcycle hums beneath me, but I can't hear it. My headphones are blaring Ozzy Ozbourne lyrics into my head. I see the exit and slow enough that I don't lose control taking the turn, then immediately start to accelerate again.
Ahead, an overpass comes int view. As I cruise beneath it, I slow and look for signs of exactly where I'm headed. THe next sign i see says "Brimfield, three miles."
Perfect, I think. THat's where she said she'd meet me. Brimfield.
I slowed and turned before a sign that showed an arrow pointing to the right. THe side road led me into a one stoplight town that reminded me of an old west ghost town from black and white westerns. A row of building son either side of me, but none behind them. THe buildings that lined the streets were all there were.
I slowed to a stop at the aforementioned stoplight and waited as the dust blew past me from the street and sidewalks and the light continued to shine down at me. Red.
I looked around. No other cars, no civilians.
No, I thought, do it the right way, just like the Prof taught you.
I waited another minute, then thought, the hell with it, and tore off down the road. No sooner had I started off than a cop car appeared behind me, lights flashing.
Shit, I thought, the friggin' fuzz!

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Lava.

Nuzzling my face, almost undetectably, into his hand. My eyes grew icy grey as he spoke of my sister. He knew that I wasn't going to speak of it now, but he would get it out of me.


"Jealous?" my eyes flashed playfully, my eyes were the gate to my emotions, I hated that. "we could show them what jealousy is." I smiled.


I knew that Ice had begun to follow me, I felt her. Too close. Way too close. SHe may be thousands of miles away, but she was loose.

Switching topics, I ignored the lewd comments to my tight leather outfit as we passed some mutants who thought they were tough blokes. "Temper temper, " I said more to myself than to my companion, "Never got control on it." I smirked.

I glanced over my shoulder. Putting on a false pout, "Any of you gentleman know where the admissions room is?" The cockiest of the bunch sneered at me. My accent obviously throwing them off.

I twirled my hair, around my finger.
I began to raise the temperature around my body. Slowly, "Is it hot in here or is it just me?" I smiled.

A vision of lava rolled through my crimson eyes. The guys just looked at me in horror. "Looks like you blokes may want to hit the showers, looks as though you are having a bloody hard time."

The sweat rolled down their foreheads, they wouldn't be able to stand the heat much longer. My feel levatated a bit off the floor.

They darted away. I laughed. I closed my eyes as my feet settled on the floor.

My body temperature fell back to normal.

I walked back over to Lou, "Apparently those blokes aren't the full quid (not too bright)"

"so what do you suggest we do now? I promise I won't let my temper get the best of me."

 

[Maniac9538]

I smiled, took her hand in my own and gave it a soft kiss. 'Well I just got transferred to full X-men status could use your help in just moving a few boxes to my new room.' I was surprised at how she nuzzled into my hand. I felt it, no one saw it but I knew she did it and it made me smile. I had come close to popping out the claws and scaring the living crap out of the students, but when Lava had started to turn up the heat, I just smiled and watched. As we walked away from the group of boys, we talked about what we did while we had gone our seperate ways. When she started in about Australia I was smiling. 'Sometime you're gonna have to take me there sounds like a place I could grow to love. Especially if I have you by my side Lava.' Though I knew Lava hated it, I was already planning on how to track down her sister and this time keep her locked up for good.

Rayvonus

Walked around the school saw what looked like a band forming in The Quad He walkd over to them To Say Hello

 

[DarkTalon]

Wild Card

He Walks through the School For A while Till He sees who he was looking for. walking Up "Maniac Where You Been? You Missed Our Danger room Work out Sesion. And It Was interesting We Had an intruder." He than Notices Lava And smiles And says in his unique Acent " You are Beautifull Mon Cherrie . No wounder you missed The work out Maniac. My Name Darlin Is Logan Labeau. My friends Call me Wild Card."

 

[Maniac9538]

OOC: Dark though I may put up with it, Storm, Iceman are originals. Lava, Timebomb and myself were here since the beggining (original) and have earned to be X-men and not students. Same goes for you Rayv, so either adjust to be students or you will accept roles as X-men just not as high up as LAva and myself.....since I created this thread I am not going power mad just re-stating rules that were made at beggining of post.



I never liked Wild Card, though I put up with him. 'This is Lava an old friend of mine and yes she is why I missed the lesson you were supposed to get in the danger room' behind Card's back I rolled my eyes at Lava, indicating that Card did this with all the girls and it irked me he did it with her. I liked Lava, no check that I was falling for her again, she was as beautiful as I remembered and now she actually noticed me.

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: Spiderman is an original too, although original what? I'm not sure...




He kicked open a door, looking frantically. Nope, no one in here. This was beginning to be a huge waste of time. Most of the people were out, and the fire was being delt with right about now.
He couldn't yield up though, he would get kicked out of the Superhero club so fast his tights would all be in a bunch. Ever vigiliant, he continued his search for those in trouble.
A young woman yelled out the window, trying to get the attention of the people below.
Spiderman took hold of her, making a Spiderbelt out of webbing. He lowered her down to awaiting paramedics. Only a few more floors to go.
"Watch out," something fell from the window. Spiderman looked up just in time to see a tail go onto the roof.
"Tail?" He said to himself, quickly climbing the rest of the way to the roof.
There, he saw a sight that looked completely wrong...
It was some kid pretending he was the Lizard. Even the costume was poorly designed.
"All right, what are you going?"
The kid turned around, in shock.
"Spiderman!"
He smiled, "You were expecting Santa Clause?"
Walking over to the kid he folded his hands across his chest.
"You want to explain, or should I just let the police handle it?"

 

[Maniac9538]

OOC: True Pooh, though Spider-man on many occasion was asked to join the X-Men, he never accepted mostly due to the fact that if anyone found out his true identity he was worried about MJ and Aunt May.

This was turning into a cool little group I thought. It had happened so quickly too. Vincent was probably really proud of himself. Someone was approaching, maybe another potentail member? God, if it was this was going to get a bit hectic. All it needed was a couple of (preferably female) admirers...

I debated taking off, trying to lose the cop, but if I did that, I would probably not be able to find the girl. It wasn't like there were sidestreets to use, giving me the chance to avoid the main street, which I noticed was conviently named Main Street.
Humans are so clever, I thought. No wonder they worry we'll take over the world. They're too stupid to do anything useful with the damned things!
I pull over, stopping in front of a small building that appears to be an Ice Cream parlor. Inside, an old man who looks like he hasn't bathed in months, if not years, leans in the window to watch the scene outside. I hit the stop button on my headset. The cop sits in his car for a few minutes, no doubt running the plate, then gets out and walks up to me.
"Sir," he begins, "Are you aware that you just ran a red light?"
I reach up and pull the helmet off. When the cop sees my face, he backs up. The piercings...they'll do that every time in these small towns. Peircings and tattoos, at least the more extreme ones, always make them suspicious.
"Um...yes, officer," I reply, in my nicest tone, "But I saw no traffic coming, and waited for the light to change. When it didn't, I figured it must be malfunctioning and went ahead though."
He was still eyeing me suspiciously. Figures, even my nicest tone isn't particularly nice. Oh, well. I guess I should have seen tht one coming.
"Are you taking any drugs?"
Okay, that I couldn't have seen that coming.
"No sir. Never have, never will." I reply, may face slack, knowing that if I smile, it'll seem less genuine. Smiles never quite fit me. All in the attitude, I guess.
"What's your name, son?"
I hated when they called me son.
"Bas...Posh," I answered, "Kane Posh."
"Uh-huh," he replied. "Well, Mr. Posh. I'm gonna let you slide this time, but try to keep out of trouble, okay?"
Wow, that was easy.
"Yes, sir. I certainly will."
"You have a good day now." The cop started back to his car, yelling over at the old man. "How's business, Earls?"
"Well, I ain't sold nuthin.' How's that sound?" THe old man laughed.
The cop got back in his car as I placed the helmet back on my head and reached for the key. I heard it then, barely. The human ear would never have picked it up, nor would most mutants, but I managed to make it out.
"Billy," the cop's voice said, "Get the boys. Someone new in town."
I glanced in the mirror to see him lowering the CB from his mouth. Figures, I thought. But I went ahead and started down the street anyway, against my better judgements, thinking that if I found the girl soon enough, I'd be able to get out of town before anything bad happened.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

DONT READ THE LAST POST....It has errors in it. someone delete it

(ooc. sorry, that was my post, but I was supposed to edit it, it makes no sense in places, but I forgot to log in...damnit, here is the edited version. Sorry.


He kissed my hand, it shocked me. I don't shock easily. I blushed, I got warm, I never get warm.

"Reckon (absolutely), I can help you out, I haven't even found out which Unit (room) I an in, maybe the X-man perks include your own Unit. " I sighed, "Been a long time since I had a warm shower, or a bed."

I smiled at him, I hadn't even spoken a word since the last time I left the institute. It was a major change for me to be so bloody talkative.

"One day, maybe when it is all over we can take a trip." I didn't define what 'it' was. Soon though, she would be gone. I had explained to him about my period of silence, my powers, my progression. We were talking like mates (friends) are supposed to.

I never got close to anyone.

We were on our way to grab his boxes and move them in.

We saw someone approach us.

The bloke introduced himself, "G'day." I sensed that Lou wasn't fond of this man. It shocked me, once again, to notice that he was a bit upset about it too. I could tell that Logan LeBeau was a sly one with the ladies. Lou didn't like that.

"Pleasure to meet you mate. Bloody hell of a day to be in the danger room don't you think? It ought to be packed in there."

IC: Eve looked up just in time to see the face of a boy as they collided. Cursing under her breath she landed flat on her ass her books and papers flying. Looking at the boy he helped her to her feet. She blushed slightly and brushed herself off. She glance back up at him at a loss for words.

When I saw the farmhouse, I realized what she had meant when she said I couldn't miss it. It was the only farmhouse on that stretch that was still in good enough condition for someone to live in. I pulled into the driveway and parked the motorcycle next to the front porch, careful to stay on the driveway. I set the helmet on the handlebas and stood. I glanced around, taking in the scene. Basic, I thought, given the farming technologies available today. THere were only a few fields in view, and none of them appeared to be growing anything. Or maybe the crops weren't growing above ground yet. I had no clue. I ate food, I didn't grow it. I saw her then, leaning between the two large doors to the barn, looking aroundas if she expected trouble, then waving for me to go over there. I debated taking off the jacket, but decided not to. My weapons were hidden inside, and there was no telling if the cop and "the boys" would show up. I went over and walked into the barn. She was nowhere in sight.
"You in here?" I yelled.
"Up here," she returned, sounding playful as she did.
HEr voice floated down from the loft.
I wandered over to where the ladder was leading up there, then looked around, making sure she couldn't see and quickly took off the jacket and buried it in a haystack nearby. I climbed the ladder then, meeting her at the top. She stood only a few feet away, looking at me with a strangely seductive expression on her face, her lips smiling only at the lips, her eyes locked on mine, her fingers twirled in her hair.
"I was thinking something," she began, and I thought, yeah, Honey, so am I.
"Why don't we stay up here for a while; get to know each other?"
She stepped closer, placing her hands on my chest, running them over my ribcage.
I was thinking with the wrong head, and I knew that, but sometimes that head came up with some interesting ideas.
"What did you have in mind?" I didn't smile, even then. Like I said, it wouldn't have seemed natural.
Her hands pulled at my shirt. A black tank and a pair of blue jeans, plus motorcycle boots were the total of my protection then. Not much to get off, I thought, grinning underneath while my face remained still on the outside.
"There's something I need to know, first," she said, pressing her chest against mine now, her young form a full distraction now. I took in a deep breath, trying to stay calm. I knew that I had only about a minute or so before my body was ready to roll.
"This awkward gear you carry, the loner lifestyle...the piercings and markings...are you a mutant...I mean, I never really minded that. Actually," she said, running her hands down to my belt and slipping her fingers underneath the waist of my jeans. "I heard that you guys were...well, y'know...gifted ina few ways..."
Her grin widened as she pressed her lips against mine. I thought gifted? That's a compliment. Since when do humans compliment us?
"Yeah, I'm a mutant," i replied, not sensing the awkwardness of the question until after I spoke.
I heard the creak then, from below and I pulled my lips away, glancing back over my shoulder to see the barn door opening and the cop standing there, looking up at me.
Her hands were on my chest again. I turned back to her in time to see her smile again, this time more genuinely than she'd done the whole time I'd been there.
"Surprise," she said, shoving me backward as hard as she could. I fell, seeing her face getting further away until I hit hard against the wooden floor, looking up to see her a third of her reeal size, looking down at the barn floor from the loft.
Footsteps approached from every direction and I thought about my jacket hidden in the straw and the weapons. Shit, I thought, made the wrong decision again...no wonder muntants wage war on humans...the little trick set me up. I tried to sit up, but the cop was there, holding a baseball bat in both hands and striking me hard in the chest.
My body recoiled and I rolled onto one side, trying to get to my feet that way. Another weapon struck me, this one unidentifiable. It hit my back, causing me to arch backward.
I hopped to my feet then, knowing that if I didn't I might well end up dead. The cop swung at me again. I caught the bat this time and kicked my right foot out in front of me, sending him backward with a kick to the stomach. A man I couldn't see wrapped a chain around my neck from behind, pulling backward on it with all his weight.I reached back for his hands and got hit in the ribs with the wooden handle of another object. I recoiled in time to see the man who'd done the hitting stepping in front of me. He was a big man, a good ole boy if there ever was one, no teeth, clothes stained down the front with tobacco. Holding...oh, shit, a sledge hammer.
"This is fer yer own good, boy!"
He swung it hard, hitting me square in the center of the stomach. I fell onto my knees, feeling the blows of other ovjects on my shoulders and back, the chain seeming to cut into my neck. THe hammer struck me again, this time in the chest. My arms fell limp, the combination for the blow and the choking getting the best of me. THe cop was back again, holding the bat out so I could see it.
"Good work, Gina," he yelled up to the girl. "He'll do just fine."
He struck me hard on the head. THe world around me disappeared.
