[open log] FOH stuff...

6/12/11 22:07
[identity profile] witheredecay.livejournal.com
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!

[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?

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.)

[open log] at the shooting range

7/8/11 23:07
[identity profile] witheredecay.livejournal.com
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.]

[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.]

[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.]

[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!]

[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.]

She'd probably welcome a distraction.]

Characters: Kevin, Forge
Setting: Brunch!
Content: Bros before hos, yo.
Status: Closed, incomplete

[Kevin is actually shouting with glee. He's pumped. He's taking his car out for a spin -- literally. The screeching of the car's tires are so horrendous to the ears that the screams from Kevin (clutching the steering wheel, shades on, laughing) and Forge (passenger seat, muscled arm out the open window gripping the roof of the car, also laughing) are all but drowned out. The tires are letting out one loud, continuous scream on the pavement as Kevin makes donut after donut with the car.

The plan was this: Get some gas, hit up this awesome brunch place that Tony Stark once treated Forge to, then go back home. But once Kevin realized the extent of Forge's tune-ups to his inherited car, they'd gone a little nuts, postponed brunch for a bit, veered off into an empty lot, and started doing donuts.]

Woooooooooooooo!

[Ali has been whining at Jono for days, as well as pestering most of the other residents of the mansion (except Forge, probably - she might still be avoiding him). She's still looking for her DVD of The Last Waltz, which she swears she lent to Jono, while he swears he's never seen the damn box. He did take an obligatory cursory look around his room, and there was nothing. Finally, Jono has had it. Totally is fed up with her whining. So he strides down the hallway to her room, surveys the damage, then, on a hunch, picks up one particularly large pile of clothes and, lo and behold...]

Your precious Last Waltz DVD.

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.]

Status: Closed, incomplete.

[After Jono survived the verbal assaults from Emma and Forge (and Bobby, if you counted that one, and Jono did), he managed to unwind just a bit by going out for chicken wings with Bobby. But he's still feeling a bit shaken. He's draped on his bed right now, and sighs. What a week.

He lifts his head to survey the room. His acoustic and electric guitars had been sitting unused for several weeks now, and he groans when he thinks about how out of practice he must be by now. Ever since Warren left, Jono's had a lot of space in the room to lay out his stuff, and because of Kevin being missing, he hadn't really spent any time doing stuff like cleaning. Now, he realizes, it's a mess.]

When the hell am I going to fix up this room?

[The Cuckoos are huddled together on the of the couches, curled up in blankets, and watching a film. It's French. It's called Un long dimanche de fiançailles and it is very much a comfort film for the three sisters tonight, especially after their short and painful separation. To anyone paying attention, they have been just that more attached at the hip the last day and a bit more reserved with their catty insults. There is something humbling and frightening about how easily they could have been bested.]

[Forge is walking down the hallway from his workshop. He hasn't even had the time yet to fix up his cyborg parts from the fight. He's walking with a slight limp, and every time he takes a step, his mechanical leg lets out a squeak. It would be comical, and people would be laughing, if it weren't for the fact that he's also practically bursting at the seams with anger. At a hefty six-foot-five, the Maker, well, makes for some pretty scary stuff when pissed off.]
