[closed thread] Logan & Laura : Family ties

[canadamantium.livejournal.com]

Logan stalks the mansion at night, the change of seasons always makes him restless. Maybe it's his animal nature, maybe it's the added rustle of the world outside dying, preparing for a long winter's slumber. Whatever it is, it has him feeling suffocated even in the vast network of halls and classrooms, like a rat in the maze. He watches the students like small animals, scuttling about trying to escape his watchful, increasingly predatory eyes.

The hunt rises up within him, and he knows he must move...

[open log] Prepare to meet your maker...

He is always tinkering, never without a ratchet or screwdriver or mini soldering gun on his person and a new gadget in his hands or on his mind.

He tinkers in the ktichen, fixing blenders, souping up the cold storage, keeping beers colder, preserving twinkies for longer (not that it's really needed, but a man must keep busy somehow.) 

He tinkers in front of the TV, or in his lab, sometimes fixing or upgrading the artificial limbs he has built for himself, the high cost of serving his country. He takes comissions gladly, building and improving tools for his friends and the students at the school. Chest plates, roller skates, electrically insulated gloves. He can design the most complex of training simluations in his dreams and loves to push the limits of the Danger Room's technology, communing with it like a favoured pet more than just a machine.

He is Forge, the Maker. Mutant and hero, solider and shaman and all things between. His is a life of invention, of innovation!

Come chat with the maker! Ask for a gadget or a new toy (or for him to fix one you broke?), or just hang with him while he's watching his stories.  Prose or commentspams are welcome.

[scene/open log] An impromptu class trip

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

Characters: EVERYONE! Really. Jump right in.
Setting: The mansion.
Content: After talking with Ali and having an emo-regression (as she called it), Jono suddenly realized that he could not leave this situation with his ex-girlfriend unresolved anymore. He has to get this cleared up. So he goes and asks Josh to accompany him to London so that she might be healed, but before Jono can anticipate it, the vacationers begin to grow larger and larger in number...
Status: Open and incomplete. Please do tag in and make threads if you want your character to come along! Also note: Crystal has stated that there will be an appearance by an old enemy of Laura's... Currently, this trip to London is being "planned," and the actual trip will occur after the run-in with Kimura. Just getting the ball rolling!

( Class trip! Bonding, squabbles, who knows what else will happen... )

[scene] there is love, to be found, in the worst way

[trainedweapon.livejournal.com]

Characters: Bobby, Laura.
Setting: Later tonight/early next morning.
Content: Bobby finds Laura cutting herself.
Status: Complete.



The nightmares woke her. They always did. Always came after she shut her eyes. The red digits, counting down the times of mission parameters. Warm splatters of blood. Against skin, against snow. Cold flesh beneath her fingertips, a lifeless chest beneath her ear. Rice’s wide, cruel smile, the brightness of lights blinding her, the smell of disinfectant and hate and darkened corners, dirty clubs. Somehow the cold calculation of death wove into the feel of sullied sheets. She didn’t like to think about how every touch had hurt – and not the ones that sought to bruise or damage – but the misplaced soft caresses that burned straight through her like a hot iron. But she dreamed of them, every night.

( from a little shell, at the bottom of the sea, was the earth and the moon, and the sun above me, but the world fell down )
