[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.

[It's bonfire night. It's chilly, because it's goddamn cold right now, but there are plenty of blankets to go around. And it would have been smart of you to bring a jacket and/or a hoodie. There's a big huge pile of refreshments and food, provided by everyone's pocket money and Jono and Meg's cooking and gathering skills. There's also a big fire of some guy named "Guy Fawkes" burning quite continuously in the bonfire pit. There's a bunch of wood off to the side to keep it going.

Everyone's mingling, eating and laughing in a wide circle around the fire, illuminated by the yellow-orange light and by the stars. By the way, people have snuck in alcohol. Have fun with that.

Julian answered the rapping on his door and saw the smiling faces of Meg and Jono. They said together, “Penny for the guy?” the way trick-or-treaters might chorus.

“...What?”

“We’re spreading the word about a Guy Fawkes Night bonfire!” Meg said.

“Isn’t that the thing from that V for Vendetta movie?” Josh said from his desk.

On the night of the Halloween dance, the thirteenth incarnation of the Dazzler band was busy setting up their equipment as a few other students were putting up decorations in the gym. The band was there early to get ready and warm up.

Kevin was dressed like he almost always was - in jeans, a black hoodie with a black jacket over it, and his usual gloves. The only difference was that he carried slung over his shoulder a toy machine gun. (His Halloween costume.)

“What the bloody hell?” said Jono, whose own costume wasn’t particularly original or even well done. He was wearing just wearing a black costume piece with a white skeleton printed on it over his jeans. “What are you supposed to be?”

“Yeah, what are you?” Ali chimed in.

To say it was a hard day would be an understatement. After all was said and done, the crowd dispersed and the threat of maniacs with explosives eliminated, everyone was exhausted...and still had to pack.

There was talk of a group dinner together, but as of yet, nothing concrete had come together. The mutants were mostly quiet coming back, haggard from the fight and burdened once again by the reminder that they could never escape the fear and hatred directed at them because they were genetic anomalies.

Dispersed throughout the hotel and out in the streets of London, everyone was going through their own coping process...

It's the morning of the last full day. Tomorrow morning, the group will be headed back to New York. Jono is sitting, contemplative, on the edge of his hotel bed, while Kevin is still snoring on the bed next to his, on a sheet of synthetic cloth carefully laid over the hotel linens.

Still barefoot and in his sweats, hair tousled in every direction, Jono slinks out into the hallway and knocks on a door a few down from his. Celeste, already dressed and her hair and makeup perfect, answers the door. "Will you deliver a message for me?" Jono asks pleasantly.

Attention, all students and staff of Xavier's, the Cuckoos project telepathically a few moments later. Please present yourselves in formal attire in the hotel lobby tonight at 6:30 pm for a group dinner. No exceptions! You have been requested to attend by Jonothan Starsmore, who promises to telepathically play the music of Sugar Kane into your mind the whole flight back if you skip.

Status: Open and incomplete.



They just couldn’t ever escape it. Julian thought he had seen enough protests in New York, Massachusetts, and California over the “mutant menace” to last a lifetime. He thought he’d seen enough violence over it (and caused quite a bit in defense) to last a lifetime, too. Not that he was naive enough to think that this prejudice ran out. No, there was never a moment with these people that enough was enough.

There weren’t words for this kind of hatred.

Characters: Everyone! Even if you plan for your characters not to go on this trip, they can be doing other things here or talking about what they plan to do while the others are away.
Setting: The mansion.
Content: An open, free-for-all thread for all characters to talk about planning for their upcoming getaway to London (Jono's trip, which everyone else has appropriated for the whole school)
Status: Open and incomplete. Really, just talk about anything!

Jono was in the kitchen of the X-mansion, stocking up on snack foods for the plane ride, but it seemed to surprise Josh how little he was packing. "I'm going to pack for the plane," Jono explained, "and then buy food there. You didn't expect me to bring food to my hometown, did you? I have to eat what I can get over there!"

Meanwhile, some members of the staff were surveying the damage done to the west wing of the mansion during their recent attack by Kimura. "Oh well," Logan shrugged it off. "We'll bill it to the school, and anyway, most of the kids will be gone for the trip. Saves a lot of hassle not having people around for the construction."

Fortunately for the students, most of their living quarters hadn't been damaged, so they were able to pack their still-intact clothes and other necessities. As the days grew nearer to the trip, anticipation and excitement levels were rising.

"What's the deal with you and Gayle, now?" Josh asked Jono, as the two of the paused for a cookie break.

"Dunno," Jono answered with a shrug. "I mean... we'll see." He stuffed more cookies into his mouth and then said for an abrupt change in topic, "I wonder what everyone else is up to."
[identity profile] canadamantium.livejournal.com
I was talking to a couple of people about having some training threads to practice action tags and/or get some CR development with Logan. I figured having one big thread for anyone who wanted to play with more training scenarios. I think for this particular thread, I want to keep it just one-on-one combat, not team training. If this works well, maybe it can be a semi-regular thing.

Obviously, with the Kimura scene still ongoing, this doesn't fit with the current timeline, but it could be backdated, I suppose, to before the mansion was blown up.

This thread is open to anyone who feels like jumping in for some one-on-one playtime with Logan, other faculty members included if they need to blow off some steam or get a couple rounds in.

Fight back. Remember your strengths... )

It was quiet. Too quiet. Thanks to the Dazzler, who was snapping up every footfall and laboured breath the small team produced. There had barely been a patrol around the perimeter of the discreetly located base, and the gun-toting humans were dispatched with easily. Too easily.

The rest of the team were fresh, aside from the Iceman, but the Wolverine and X-23 shared a knowing look. Kimura, the Facility, were letting them inside. A trap, Logan’s look seemed to say. Of course, Laura’s gaze responded.

THE REST~ )

Status: Complete.




“What do you think are the chances though? I mean, he could like me, right? You said he said he didn’t see me as a friend, so what does that mean he sees me as? It’s a possibility!”

Laura bought a spoon filled with chicken soup to her lips. With a satisfying slurp, one of the noodles disappeared, and she stared silently at Meg’s face as she rambled on about Jono, his feelings, and the school’s rather large congregation of people accompanying him to England.

“Oh God, but what if!” she continued with a groan, and then slumped over her sandwich, her brow furrowed and face contorted in disappointment and worry and pain. “What if he really does still love her? And seeing her sparks something, and then--and then--oh, I’m so stupid.”

“You are not stupid,” Laura interjected quietly, but Meg only offered her a gentle, grateful smile before drowning her sorrows in the rest of her strawberry milkshake. Laura ate one last spoonful of soup, hunched over the table.

AND THE REST. )



NOTE: Since this is over the weekend and the classrooms were destroyed, I think it’s fair to say causalities are about none, and there are more injuries and cases of shock than anything else.

I figured Kimura wasn’t stupid enough to attack the mansion full out, but decimating it and luring the stragglers out would be much easier on her. (But that didn’t going according to plan, did it?)

Kayt's posting another thread soon, and that'll be the open one. Where the fun happens. :D

Similar to [livejournal.com profile] petitebelette 's entry for Julian, except Scott just doesn't have much to do these days, so it's just morning, afternoon, evening and night. Either commentspam format or prose responses are fine, I'll run with it! I really, truly don't have anything already planned for Scott, so if you have an idea of how your character would relate to him, jump in and let's see where it goes.
[identity profile] kickasstelekine.livejournal.com
I'm going to try something different here, because I've seen it done before and it looked like a lot of fun and was super simple:

I'm going to post various locations and times of Julian's daily shenanigans to this entry in a bunch of comment threads. So if you want to throw your character at him, just comment under that time/place's thread. Multiple threads are not only allowed, but encouraged in any particular time frame.

I wrote the original comments in commentspam format just because it works better here, especially to start out. If you want to write your responses in prose, go ahead and I'll whistle your tune.

And if anyone wants to do this too or something like it for their characters, please don't hesitate!

Characters: Laura Kinney, Meg Gwynn
Setting: The local mall.
Content: Meg takes Laura out in an attempt to befriend the quiet girl.
Status: Complete.


Laura did not understand why Megan wanted to be her friend.

Friendships were based on two things, as far as Laura had observed. Mutual interests and proximity. Laura didn't dislike Meg. She was kind and simple. Logan had called her "chatty." But Laura had yet to find an interest that coincided with hers.

She was thinking of this--her hands clutching a leather biker jacket and blinking at Meg's rapidly moving lips--as she stood in the mall. Logan was correct.
