Threadjacking: HUZZAH!



[Laura is sitting on the mansion's steps, bundled up in a winter jacket three times her size, and a scarf that smells quite musky. They are hand-me-downs from Logan. To be honest, she prefers the smell of him to freshly laundered anything, because it reminds her she is not alone in this world. Logan is her family, if he is anything, and Laura does not have family.

She is cross-legged, simply watching the trees, her nose and cheeks red with the cold. She is thinking.

Characters: EVERYBODY! Starting off here with Kevin (this is Iris btw), Josh, and Bobby.
Setting: The common room, where the big TV is.
Content: I wanted to do some FOH-y stuff. Nothing major yet, just "uh oh stuff is brewing." Come interact with everybody here!
Status: Open and incomplete. You see how handwave-y I got about the actual news report?
Thread-jacking: Dooooooo iiiiitttt

[Some students might be a little bit surprised to see Bobby Drake in his full ice form indoors in the common room, but to Kevin, it's not so weird. They're hanging out watching TV, trying to multi-task by standing behind the sofa and practicing a blocking/striking drill that Kevin originally learned from a Madrox dupe. Kevin's still wearing his gloves and is pretty covered up, but Bobby still humors him. He stays in ice form while the two take turns blocking and striking.

Josh is sitting on the sofa in front of them, jeering at something a sports reporter said. Then the news comes on after his program. Josh is about to turn the channel when something makes him stop. It's about mutants. And a group they are all too familiar with.

"Friends of Humanity," Josh says, turning around to face Kevin and Bobby. "The KKK of our world."

Kevin and Bobby keep doing their drill, while looking at the news report on TV. Kevin then meets Bobby's eyes, whose expression is hard to discern in ice form.
]

I guess this was the point of all the practice -- being able to keep doing the drill while talking or distracted with other stuff!

Setting: ALI'S BAR! (AND OTHER PLACES!)
Content: I WANT YOUR FACES!
Status: OPEN!
Threadjacking: DO IT!

[You've probably seen the flyers plastered all over the school, neon purple and emblazoned with bold lettering reading:

KARAOKE ROCKS
~AMNESIA~
THURSDAYS 8PM 'TIL YOU BLOW OUR SPEAKERS



They're for the new karaoke night Ali's insisted her bosses set up, and encouraged everyone within earshot of her ever to attend. You better be planning on attending, or else you'll never hear the end of it.

You're probably bumping into her, skating around the school, catching her heading off to work to set up, or perched on a bar stool impatiently waiting for the fun to begin. In typical Ali form, she's humming and singing to herself, it sure does sound like Blinded by the Light.

Know what song you're gonna sing?

Characters: Jono plus Julian plus Forge plus Kevin plus everybody else
Setting: Outside the mansion, near the garage
Content: They are probably going to mock Jono for his non-working car
Status: Open and incomplete.
Thread-jacking: Hooray

[Jono's sitting in the passenger seat of a tow truck. They pull up to the garage of the mansion, hauling a, well, a wreck. As he gets out, the driver helps him unhook the old, yellow, beat-up muscle car with black racing stripes.

Kevin's hand-me-down black sports car looks especially impressive compared to Jono's wreck. About to take off for somewhere, he stops, keys jingling in his gloved hands. "Who do you think you are, a Transformer?" Kevin snorts.
]

Shows you how much you know, you bugger. This isn't a Camaro. It's a Chrysler Valiant Charger from the 70s.

[Unimpressed, Kevin laughs and leans against his own shiny car. "Well, does it... work?"]

It will. You'll see. [Jono reaches down into the plastic bag he's holding and tosses Kevin a melon.] Have a fruit! We stopped at a fruit market on the way over. [Jono munches into his own melon, as though he and the tow truck driver had somehow become buddies on the short drive to the mansion.]

(So this new Charlie Simpson video partially inspired this.)

Characters: Kevin (Iris) plus anybody else
Setting: A lower level of the Danger Room
Content: Training time
Status: Open and incomplete.
Thread-jacking: Hooray

Crack!

[Kevin's got his cheek pressed up against the .22 long rifle he borrowed from the school's armory. He's on the lower level of the Danger Room, which is where the architects decided to tuck away the indoor range to suppress as much of the gunfire as possible. Still, the shots can still be heard as soft little paf! paf!s on ground level. Here, inside the range, Kevin has his ears protected with heavily padded earmuffs and, as he takes aim, idly wonders if anyone will hear the noise and come join him. The indoor range doesn't get much use -- most students prefer to practice with their powers up on the main level. The Danger Room provides a lot of options for things to aim at. Cyclops used to use the range for target practice, but Kevin's really the only one these days who likes it; as pretty much the only person who doesn't find using his mutant powers fun there's not much of a wait to use the shooting range.

Ali's got those polarizing eyes so she can look at direct light, he thinks. Wonder if she can handle this kind of noise okay, too.

The thought crosses his mind as he switches from the rifle to a .45 pistol - the loudest gun he has. Without proper protection, it packs a punch loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage after only a few shots -- but maybe not to someone with as unusual power as the Dazzler.

The bullet tears a hole into the paper target Kevin's set up. How fast were Julian's telekinetic reflexes? Fast enough to stop a bullet? Certainly not Jono's. Nope -- the big oaf would be dead.

Kevin sighs as he tears a few more holes into the paper. Well. Gotta practice somehow, I guess.

Thread-jacking: JACK AWAY.
NOTE: Those tagged are the doors he's knocking on. If your character is not tagged, you're free to throw them in the mix another way.


[Sometimes... Julian is impulsive, rash, and just plain extravagant for the sake of being extravagant. This doesn't necessarily explain why he's knocking on your door, but it's about to.]

Characters: Kevin, Bobby, everybody
Setting: Danger Room
Content: Sparring or goofing around or time-wasting, or whatever. Who knows! As long as we have some funtimes.
Status: Open, incomplete
Thread-jacking: Do it!

[Kevin invited Bobby for a Danger Room session because he is one of (very) few people he's not too afraid to throw down with, ever since Bobby demonstrated that he's immune to Kevin's powers while in ice form. But the Danger Room is not booked right now, and it's free-for-all, and probably there's going to be a lot of people stepping around here.]

Status: Open/incomplete
Thread-jacking: A must

[Jono is rubbing his hands with glee as people pile into his room. Josh, his co-conspirator, had long convinced Jono to use poker chips instead of potato chips while betting (the crumbs last time had been disastrous) and so Jono was rattling the chips in their box. The bets were, of course, junk food. Hence his name of Texas Feed 'Em.]

Welcome, welcome. Sit down. Have a drink. Make yourselves comfortable.

Setting: Outside, near the lake (OMG NOT THE KITCHEN)
Content: FUN TIMES
Status: Open/incomplete
Thread-jacking: DOOO IIIIIT

[Bobby, for once, is not in the kitchen. And - wait for it - he's not even eating ice cream.

No, Bobby's hanging out by the lake, sprawled on the ground, experimenting with his powers a little bit. Technically, it's spring, but if you pass by now, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's still winter: there's a little snow on the ground and the air is very chilly. Bits of the lake appear to be frozen.

He's feeling pretty relaxed and cheerful, so as long as you don't talk to him about taxes, he'll be happy to chat with you!]

Thread-jacking: Okay.



[Laura is... snooping. And playing with things that don't belong to her. Currently she is on the ground in front of the television looking through the many video game units and games that belong in majority to Jono and Julian. Why is she here? Wouldn't you like to know. Currently she is reading the back of Resident Evil 2, legs casually sprawled out in front of her.]

Yeah, I'm just a devil with looove to spare. Viva Las Vegasss!

Setting: The room with the biggest TV. Some common area or other.
Content: Anything and everything, I just need fun distractions.
Status: Open! Incomplete! Come play in this!
Thread-jacking: YAY! I need to try this. GO!

[Kevin and Josh are seated in front of the TV of the common room, both of them consulting the papers in their hands. Josh has organized a betting pool for March Madness, and Kevin submitted his brackets to him the other day. Now they're catching up on highlights and making some idle chitchat.]

I'm pretty sure I'm at least going to whoop Jono's ass here. He did his "research" based on prettiest uniforms again. [Josh laughs here and says something about how all the uniforms are ugly before heading to the kitchen for more popcorn. Kevin remains seated on the couch, legs drawn up so he can put his paper on his knees and scribbles out some of the eliminated teams.]

Thread-jacking (optional): JACK THIS THREAD (if you want)


[Ali's got her headphones in, bobbing around the mansion, half-looking for the Cuckoos. As in, she's not looking very hard, maybe even checking all the places she knows they decidedly won't be, because she's been thinking about their offer and wants to take them up on it. Wants to, but is also pretty damn terrified of it. So, she's got her music on so loud her brain is vibrating with heavy bass and is scurrying around like a rat on meth.]

Thread-jacking: Go for it

[Rogue's wandering into the kitchen, very focused on making herself a cup of tea. She's still trying to fight her way through her reading and quite frankly, she'd rather run a Danger Room simulation with five Sentinels then get back to her book. Hence the caffeine. She'd probably welcome a distraction.]

Characters: Julian, you.
Setting: Some common area; not the rec room. SHOCKING.
Content: The content of whatever happens.
Status: Open and incomplete.



[Julian is sprawled across some couch, propped up by a pillow and the armrest, a book open on his chest. Yes, Julian Keller is reading. Why? He has to, for one class or another. This one's for business and he's actually paying some attention to the words on the page, although every now and then he spaces out, looks off to the side. He's not bored or even necessarily tired anymore, just weary in a way that's starting to get under his skin.

It's quiet where he is; this is the living area most students don't frequent - it's usually occupied by the Cuckoos. Today, however, Julian's in it for the same reason he's been in it more often than the rec room all week: to avoid people. There's just something about what he's working through that makes him a bit anti-social.

Characters: Ali, YOU! ---> Josh Foley, you and your skateboard should come check this shit out!
Setting: Danger Room!
Content: Train with her. Train her. Kick her ass around the block!
Status: Incomplete and OPEN!

[Ali's idea of training today is a bit more lax and laid back, given the fact that without Forge running adaptive simulations from the control room this session is pretty much self-guided. She's got her jams blasting at top-volume from the internal speaker system, and she's generating her own varying obstacle course out of hard light projections. She's moving hard and fast on her roller skates, popping over walls, tucking and rolling over low brush, and grinding down along rails. It looks like the bastard love child of parkour and extreme roller skating.

She's got no enemies to speak of, she's mostly focusing on improving her speed and agility based on some of the training Logan's been dishing out to all the non-fliers in the house. Come challenge her to something more engaging than perfecting her triple backflip off a high wall.]

Content: Training session's over, Jono's still hanging around
Status: Open!

[Jono's breathing hard from a good training session, and a few students have started to trickle out of the Danger Room. But Jono is hanging back, taking a few more swings at one of the available punching bags, and killing time. Today is a nice, open day for him, and Jono could probably use your company.]

Characters: John Allerdyce, you.
Setting: Common area, recreation room, what have you.
Content: Amazing.
Status: Open and incomplete.



[John's in one of his usual moods. (Read: a bored and prickish one.) He's sitting on one of the couches in the wreck room, leaning forward, both his injured hand and his good one propped on his knees. He's opening and closing his Zippo, surveying the room and its occupants. Every now and then he turns towards the TV, where the news is on, but only when he hears something about mutants or fires or anything that catches his ear.]
