X-MEN DANGER ROOM

By far the most important room to the general population of the mansion, the danger room doesn't look like much when first entered from the X-Men Complex South hall. But unseen inside the walls are numerous high tech holographic projectors. The center of the floor is a slightly raised platform with more projectors within and a track that moves to allow an ultimate amount of space to exist. A panel on the wall next to the door controls the entire room and can be accessed using the correct codes. Practically any scenario is possible in this room, and it is mainly used for training and power practice.

X-Men Time

Monday, May 25th

So, Shawn was going to have to go first. He pulled out a spare magazine from his bag and loaded it up, putting it to one side before looking down at the range. He knew the timer would start with his first shot. His tactic would be to deal with the closer targets first. As he lined up a shot with the nearest silhouette, a cough tickled his throat as he fired, causing the shot to totally miss any of the targets. He quickly pulled back the bolt, the timer already silently ticking away. He aimed at the target again and quickly fired, the shot hitting the center of the head. Shocked at his luck, he pulled the bolt and aimed at the next - it was sliding left and right and he decided a chest shot would be more likely to hit. The third shot hit the middle of the chest, not bad. Bolt back, shell ejected, new round in chamber, aim at a medium distance target popping up from the ground, fire. Another head hit! He was grinning despite needing to stay focussed. Readying the last round in his magazine, he aimed at another near target, looking to take it in the head. The bullet passed through where the target's left eye would have been. He had little time left as he ejected the last casing, slid his empty magazine out of his rifle, and plugged the new one into place. He aimed down range at a target fairly central to him, but down range. The shot went wide, the head being his target. Already pulling back the bolt on his rifle, a claxon sounded indicating his time was up. He sighed and stood back to check the score on his display. "10. I can live with that." A sudden thought came to him. "What do we get if we win? Anyone want to suggest a prize?"

"Of course I know how to fire an AR," Kiora called over the sound of Shawn's shots, "What do you think I am, a ninny?" She watched Shawn take his shots with a smirk in her lips. "Not bad for a bolt action." She said almost tauntingly once he finished. When he said something about a prize she bounced, raising a hand as David's rifle rested against her opposite shoulder, "Oh! Oh! I know! I can give the winner a kiss!"

"Well no, it's just not like a pistol." David Purked up at the offer of a kiss with Kiora. Was she wanting him to win so she could kiss him?! Did she want to be his girl?! David was thinking with his head in the clouds at the moment, and had trouble thinking of the alternative. If he lost to Shawn.

Shawn's blush was mainly hidden by the chitin on his face - Kiora looked great in spite of the fur. His mind wandered to whether her fur would be coarse or soft. He returned to focussing on the conversation at hand. "Sounds fine by me, but what if you win? What could you possibly want?" He wondered whether his score was high enough to win and find out about Kiora's fur. He found himself tracing the shape of her body with his eyes and immediately turned his attention to David with an innocent face.

"Of course it's not like a pistol, silly." Kiora told David before looking between the two boys, they both seemed to like her idea. When Shawn asked what she would win, she grinned at him, "Then I guess I don't have to kiss anybody." She said, sticking her tongue out, "Though I guess it would be only fair if I got a kiss for winning too."

David Smiled and let the slide forward on his pistol as if not hearing Kiora's comment and fired away down the range his shots feel well at first two head shots, but then the next three landed in the torso, followed by a round barly hitting the target. The last four feel some what better in place. Three legs and then one fine one in the neck. "fourteen... Great..." David muttered to himself. There was no way Kiora was going to shoot less than that... She had a large mag and almost no recoil off the rifle- David then shrugged. "If you win you pi
ck who you kiss?" He offered her sliding the mag out and then letting the slide on his pistol go forward as he placed it back into his holster. "Sound fare to you Shawn?"

"Definitely fair," Shawn said, trying to act nonchalant while cleaning the end of his rifle's barrel, wiping away the cordite dust. He tried to not let David's score bother him, tried to remind himself that he'd been using a bolt-action rifle and David had a semi-automatic pistol. It would be interesting to see how Kiora did.

Kiora smiled smugly. She knew she could probably get all 30 rounds off in a minute, this should be a cake walk. She shouldered the rifle and liked up a shot with the red dot sight. Her first ten shots or so were mediocre, hitting the outside of the silhouette, with a couple shots narrowly missing. After that she seemed to be warming up a bit, her shot groups tightening a bit to avoid any misses, but her last ten or so shots mostly went wide or barely winged targets. She lowered the weapon, frowning. With one head shot, a couple hearts, and the rest single point hits and misses she'd tied David with fifteen points.

Shawn's eyes widened. This was an interesting development. "So. We need a tie break." He rubbed at the chitinous patch on his chin. "How about most accurate quick draw? Go from 'at ease' to firing in less than a second, bullseye targets?"

Davids Ears were killing his and his head was hurting. If the range was outdoor he would gladly go again, but in here it was just to much. "I'll give it to Kiora." The truth was he didn't want to pull the trigger again. His ears already felt like they were going to fall off.

Kiora grinned almost preditorily, "You sure you don't want to fight me for it?" She asked with a wink, "Otherwise, I may just make you both give me a kiss."

"Up to you, man," Shawn said with as neutral a face as possible. He had a feeling that there was some connection between the others already, but he couldn't help feel attracted to the blue-furred mutant - she was shapely, and had a wild beauty. Still, he didn't want to antagonise the animalistic David in any way - maybe, if he was 'forced' to kiss Kiora, he could make it minimal enough to seem not that into it, but good enough that she might want to come back for more.

David stood there a moment then Shrugged. What was one more round... "I'll shoot one more time." David reloaded his pistol then got an idea. "Ever do a ready up Kiora?" He asked with an interesting idea in mind. They could shoot until one missed a target, odds were with Kioras carless style she would miss before him.

"I don't think so." Kiora shook her head, "What is it?" She was sure it was probably some sort of training exercise, so she may have done it before, but she'd never heard the term.

"So what a series of targets are going to populate and disappear. The targets can be up for as long as two seconds or as short as half a second. If you miss six or more targets you loose." David decided to keep it to himself that the targets at closer ranges would drop faster than the ones at father distance. He hopped this would work in his favor as he set up the next round.

"Alright." Kiora said brightly, "I've done something like that before." She'd never had fancy targets that popped up on their own, but she'd done similar exercises. "Want your AR back? Or do you want to keep using my pistol?"

This could be interesting. Shawn made sure his rifle was safe for stowing before bagging it and then took up a position not far from the two furred mutants. "I think you both need to use the same weapon. If you guys aren't equally matched between rifles and pistols then that's that. Question is, which weapon do you use?" He pulled a quarter from his pocket and held it out on his thumb ready to flip. "Let fate decide?"

"Heads rifle, tails pistols?" David asked Kiora with a grin. He hopped for rifles. It would be easier for Kiora to get trigger happy with more rounds.

"Ooh, sounds good to me." Kiora said with a confident nod. She didn't care too much which weapon they used.

With a quick flick of his thumb, Shawn sent the coin up into the air and deftly caught it in one of his palms. He revealed it to the other two: "Tails," he announced before pocketing the quarter again. "All yours, guys, time to settle this draw."

"You first Kiora." David Smiled to her, hopping she would not do to well. It would also let him know how much time he had before he needed to stop.

2004-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Then... mine was just a typo, I didn't write it systematically wrong! Muhaha XD

2004-05-20 [windowframe]: systematically wrong? peh. leafve my 'e''s alone. *neener*

2004-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Yeah. You always type "nervous" wrong by adding the e to the end XD hehehe...

2004-05-20 [windowframe]: there are a lot of words I add an extra 'e' to the end X_x

2004-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Well, I've only spotted "nervous" this far =)

2004-05-20 [windowframe]: i do it w/ practically every word ending in 'ous'

2004-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Hmm... well... maybe you could just stop doing it? Lol. Hmmm... hey, isn't it that adjectives end with "-ous" and verbs with "-ouse"? Like "arouse"? Even though the words have nothing to do with each other... but anyway... XD

2004-05-20 [windowframe]: *shrugs* If it was that simple, I would, habbit, unfortunately, is the hardest force to break. besdies - people don't learn teh rules of grammaer for their own language, they just... pick 'em up as they go along, you could give me more english grammar rules than I could

2004-05-20 [Veltzeh]: Probably... Then again, I know also Finnish grammar so... X-)

2004-05-20 [windowframe]: plus I just missed the grand entree of the 'literacy hour' into my countrys primary school curriculum... and they do learn about rules of grammar and shtuff now, so ja, one year out :-)

2004-05-27 [Veltzeh]: Okay, who the heck thought it would be a jolly good idea to highlight more than ONE name in one post? =P People, you type in bold the FIRST mention of your OWN character and not anything else, OK?

2004-05-27 [Veltzeh]: And [Snowboarding Hobitz]... You see the difference between "than" and "then"? =) "Than" is a word used for comparison while "then" is used to express time flow. ...OK, done with nitpicking for a while... >_> *sneaks politely away*

2004-05-27 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: okay 'than' *questions the usage of the word*

2004-05-27 [Veltzeh]: That's where you should write "then"... "Okay then."

2004-05-27 [Veltzeh]: [Snowboarding Hobitz]... please see the 4th comment up from this one... Please... Only type your OWN character's name in bold!

2004-05-27 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: OK i was only doing it b/c other ppl were, i thought thats how it was

2004-05-28 [Veltzeh]: No, other people weren't doing it at all... o_o Unless [BobbyRay] misunderstood it as well... Duh, that's how bad habits spread =P

2004-05-28 [windowframe]: *is going on holiday... again...>.<..sorry, Vel in charge gen.*

2004-05-28 [Veltzeh]: OK, I'll control Storm a bit then... so that the kids won't get themselves killed... XD and the day will change when I wake up on Monday. ... if [windowframe] isn't back by then, I mean. Yeah.

2004-05-28 [windowframe]: mmmkay, :-) and no, I won't be back by then,

2004-05-29 [Veltzeh]: Now they need to go to bed. ;-)

2004-05-29 [BobbyRay]: :(

2004-05-29 [Veltzeh]: That's because the day (game wise) changes on Monday (real life wise)! =)

2004-05-29 [Veltzeh]: And another thing... see exactly what I wrote? She will not turn off the lights UNTIL the students are all gone... And you know, past tense... hehe... *nitpick*

2004-05-29 [BobbyRay]: My guy is an insomniac. :P

2004-05-29 [Veltzeh]: Well, we're still going to jump over the night to the morning of the next day...

2004-05-30 [Veltzeh]: Everybody start watching X-Men - Time now now NOW!

2004-05-30 [Veltzeh]: Oh and Keaton needs to take the telepathic inhibitor Kaider gave her to Kaider's room unless she wants him to think she stole it. XD

2004-05-30 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: OK...bugger off

2004-06-06 [Shining light]: And 'suttly' is spelled 'subtly'...

2004-06-08 [Veltzeh]: Er... the room's a mountaintop now...

2004-06-08 [Figgy]: ohhh... i fix ^^

2004-06-08 [Figgy]: rrrrrr....... i... HATE... MOSQUITOS!!!! *scratches*

2004-06-08 [Sturmi]: yeah, cut the AAA's! kexy... lol

2004-06-08 [Figgy]: kk ^^... you said kexy, not lexy [Sturmi] ^^

2004-06-09 [Sturmi]: but Veltzeh wrote kexy first... it was just a normal typing mistake. But "kexy" sounds funny :D

2004-06-09 [Figgy]: yeps ^^... even in real life, you are also nitpicky, not just [Veltzeh], Sofía, an I ^^

2004-06-09 [Veltzeh]: ...Oops. XD

2004-06-09 [Sturmi]: lol

2004-06-11 [Figgy]: heh :)...

2004-06-13 [Duredhel]: Hey [Veltzeh], most of your characters are eating machines right?

2004-06-13 [Veltzeh]: I've just got two characters... Myetel obviously needs the food, and well, Kaider's kind of big and his brain works overtime. XD

2004-06-13 [Duredhel]: lol ^_^

2004-06-14 [Duredhel]: O_o..... I forgot where I left Shade.... I think it was in the south hall....

2004-06-14 [Figgy]: hehe lol

2004-06-14 [Sturmi]: haha XD. It seems you haven't played in a while, then

2004-06-14 [Duredhel]: Been a bit busy with Realms of Lemire i'll pay a bit more attention to Shade now ^_^

2004-06-14 [Sturmi]: yup, Lemire must be a lot of work...

2004-06-14 [Figgy]: i am freeee... 4 now... zelda rp hasnt started yet

2004-06-14 [Duredhel]: I think you've already got like 4 characters right?

2004-06-14 [Figgy]: umm... yeh... i think

2004-09-29 [Veltzeh]: Hey, the room's already changed! =)

2004-09-29 [Duredhel]: lol ^^' sorry, just wanted to know, will i control the enemies or you will?

2004-09-30 [Veltzeh]: Not sure... I guess I should so you won't have to RP with yourself, but I'd rather if [windowframe] controlled them, and Storm is her character too after all...

2004-09-30 [Duredhel]: where IS silverfire? didn't she use to have a character in this RP?

2004-09-30 [Veltzeh]: Yeah. She's being rather inactive at the moment...

2004-09-30 [Duredhel]: Hmmm.. isn't she supposed to be... (for lack of a better term and seeing that you're now part of RoL) like the me of this RP?

2004-09-30 [Veltzeh]: Yep, that's right! She's just busy enough for me to practically look like the GM, but still. XD

2004-10-01 [windowframe]: :\ Sorry. I'll scrap my life and live here again, shall I? :-)

2004-10-01 [Veltzeh]: Yess! Who needs real life when there's Elftown!

2004-10-01 [windowframe]: well hopefully when my teachers realise that we've got more than three days to learn the entire sylabus and therfore they don't need to give us five hours of hw every night, I'll be able to get my ass in gear again X_x

2004-10-01 [Veltzeh]: Ouch!

2004-10-03 [Duredhel]: ok ok I get the point, so no one minds if i control the enemies right?

2004-10-03 [Veltzeh]: Well, I won't.

2004-10-03 [Veltzeh]: Maybe I'll butt in occasionally to add a surprise. XD

2004-10-03 [Veltzeh]: ...Or maybe not.

2004-10-03 [Duredhel]: Told ya... Shade is not exactly strong, Rave is tough as hell, but Shade's a wimp.

2004-11-26 [Veltzeh]: If Vlad waits there for a moment, I'll have Storm reply... if [windowframe] won't control Storm, that is... =P

2004-11-26 [Roma]: Yeah, that's why I let him stay there for a little bit. I thought it only fair to give others a chance as opposed to making the guy run around the mansion like a manic, opening doors, closing them, then running away. XD

2004-11-26 [Veltzeh]: Oop, the room changed back, so it's all just white metal now.

2004-11-26 [Roma]: SQUAW! Oops!

2004-11-26 [Veltzeh]: Gah, [windowframe], now you can control Storm (whenever you get back), I'm a bit bored of her. =P

2004-11-26 [Roma]: Lol - well, thanks for doing something to make Vlad interact!

2004-12-03 [Roma]: GAH! I'm sorry - my thing said that there were no changes here since I last posted! X( Argh.

2004-12-08 [windowframe]: *pondrs what to write* hmm... I don't think Adamantium claws are going to crumple, somehow :P

2004-12-08 [Veltzeh]: Heh, probably not XD They'd probably make small cuts or something.

2004-12-20 [Roma]: Well, Vlad doesn't know that. He's new.

2004-12-24 [windowframe]: arses T_T I just creased the cover of one of my comics.

2004-12-25 [Roma]: Bah! *gets you some books to put on it to help the crease. Hooks comic up to a stabelizer, and patpats your hand* Things'll be alright; just hang in there!

2004-12-25 [windowframe]: :'( *noddles*

2004-12-25 [Veltzeh]: Hehe, Vlad fell for the "come check if your enemy's alright" trick XD

2004-12-25 [Roma]: Oh, of course. He's such a nicey. Makes me angry, I didn't want to post that...but, alas, V;ad is much nicer than I. And Merry Christmas! I don't care if you don't celebrate it! I hope your day still rocks anyway! ^_^

2004-12-25 [Roma]: Oh! And *gives SilverFire a blankey to wrap up in* Things are going to be alright! *patpats*

2004-12-25 [Veltzeh]: Oh, my day did rock! I went to sleep at 5, got up at 15:30, played Metroid Prime 2 for three hours and watched the extended version of "The Return of the King" (4 hours) =D

2004-12-26 [windowframe]: duuuudwe!!!! I did that tooo!! the extended ersion of teh Lord o dfthe Ringds part

2004-12-26 [windowframe]: And I glompeth Nex for that comment, sod poitical correctness.

2004-12-26 [Roma]: My thoughts exactly. Basically, my theory on life is: "kiss my grits if you don't dig what I'm all about." I'm fine disagreeing...but don't jump down my throat. ^_^ *glompeths back*

2004-12-29 [Roma]: Did anyone else here happen to find the Mouth of Sauron...to be...abolutely hysterical?

2004-12-29 [windowframe]: humm... who, what, where when? Could you please provide a linkette (comment) back here for me? My browser is being one helluva biatch right now... :\

2004-12-30 [Roma]: I'm sorry...I'm not computer savvy...in more common terms, please? :S

2004-12-31 [windowframe]: *not quite getting last post* O.o

2004-12-31 [Roma]: Basically, Vlad's body slamming Wolverine.

2005-02-09 [Roma]: Blargh! I hate this thing. It's always un-watching my wiki pages! And now what...Vlad just...fell asleep in the room? >.<

2005-02-09 [Veltzeh]: Maybe type that he gave up for the night and went to bed, and then just start from his room again?

2005-02-09 [Roma]: Alright, I'll wait for SilverFire's say, though. Just in case Sensai has a dissenting opinion.

2005-02-09 [Roma]: Never mind. I'm just taking your advice and RPing now. Because I really want to!

2005-02-10 [windowframe]: Personally, I'm not realyl that bothered. It's up to you what you want to do. But if you're goign to start him RP'ing again elsewhere, put an edit here wrapping it all up nicely.

2005-02-10 [Roma]: I shall, oh Sensai of the X-Men RP. *bows*

2005-02-10 [Veltzeh]: Sensai?

2005-02-10 [Roma]: Yeah! Sensai...it's basically like "teacher" in Japanese.

2005-02-10 [Veltzeh]: Isn't that Sensei? That's how I've seen it spelled always ;-)

2005-02-10 [Roma]: Again, I've seen it both. However, those times, it was merely scrawled out by someone whose handwriting looks like a chicken on crack writing with his talons. So...I'm probably wrong. ;)

2005-02-10 [Veltzeh]: Lol. In Finnish it's written sensei, and I saw it in some comics written like that, so I don't exactly have anything official (for English) either XD

2005-02-10 [Roma]: Well, considering the fact that it was cack-chicken scratch, that makes muh more sense. And despite all my manga and anime readings, I've yet to come across the word mentioned in the reading! Ironic, eh?

2005-02-10 [Veltzeh]: Lol. Well, I saw "sensei" in an American comic... X)

2005-02-10 [Roma]: More irony!

2005-02-10 [Veltzeh]: Yay. XD

2009-12-04 [Flisky]: Miss Vagina?

2009-12-04 [Veltzeh]: Yes. Kaider's just trying to one-up Flame there. X)

2009-12-04 [Flisky]: Freakin' hilarious.

2009-12-05 [The Past]: Well Kaider would know ;)

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: xD

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: hurry roma XD

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: lol XDXD jk

2009-12-05 [Roma]: I'm so lost but I feel as if I should fwack you for good measure so, -FWACK-

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: fwack?

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: what the fack is a frippin fwack?

2009-12-05 [Flisky]: What the fwack are you two talking about?

2009-12-05 [Roma]: Its my backhand sound.

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: lol i'll hit back, -FWACK!!-

2009-12-05 [Roma]: -gnaw-

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: don't you bite me!

2009-12-05 [Duredhel]: Danboo, don't refer to characters as you, you is whoever is reading, not the character Danielis is refering to.

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: ack, i did it again?

2009-12-05 [Duredhel]: It's like the Britney Spears song from hell... oh wait, that's redundant.

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: erm... i did it several times?

2009-12-05 [Duredhel]: I was making a pun on the sentence "I did it again"

2009-12-05 [Danboo]: oops

2009-12-06 [Veltzeh]: And try to stick to past tense. I fixed your posts a little there. They also still need more periods and less run-on sentences. X)

2009-12-06 [Figgy]: Hahaha!

2009-12-06 [Veltzeh]: Okay, how do you people play dodgeball? The version I've played doesn't have any team selection.

2009-12-06 [The Past]: I've never played it, hehe, don't really have it down in NZ, we only see it on American TV shows and cartoons, heh.

2009-12-06 [Veltzeh]: Here we pick one person who tries to hit the rest with the ball, and if the ball hits, the one who was hit also becomes a ball-thrower. The rest just evade the ball until everyone is a ball-thrower.
And also dodgeball is just a game kids play in elementary school P. E. lessons here. I at least haven't heard it being played anywhere else. X)

2009-12-06 [Flisky]: We play where there are two teams, and the goal is to hit the other teams players. If you hit them, they are out. It they catch the ball you threw, you are out. The goal is to get all the team members of the other team out.

2009-12-06 [Sturmi]: basically you have 2 teams, one on each side of the field. Any of the people on the team can grab the ball and try to hit a person on the opposite side. If the opponent gets hit, he/she has to leave the field.
The goal of the team is to hit everybody at the other side, so there's nobody remaining there.
If the ball hits the floor and then hits a person, it doesn't count.
If the person catches the ball with his/her hands, the person who threw it is out (so you have to aim to the back, the legs, the sides, so he/she can't catch it).
...and I've just remembered this ridiculous movie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzBCBcLH_Lc)

2009-12-06 [Roma]: I play it Sturmi's way as well.

2009-12-06 [Sturmi]: Danboo: scrunchie.

2009-12-06 [Roma]: Oh my, I remember trying to explain to Veltzeh what a scrunchie was when Korvka was messing with his hair. Good times.

2009-12-06 [Duredhel]: It's hard to post when you're hung over... >__< also, Sturms, that's one of the greatest movies of all time.

2009-12-06 [Danboo]: and if the person catches and drops it he's out, if it bounces off of someone and someone else catches it before it hits the ground, first person safe, second too, thrower out.
and no, the other one, scrunchie is the poofy one, i'm talking rubber band like.

~Danielis: if someone catches my ball, it may be shocking...~

2009-12-06 [Sturmi]: meh I thought it was the same. Then again, I'm not a native english speaker.

Dur: yes, that one and Zoolander, best movies ever. Lol.

2009-12-06 [Duredhel]: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQqkQKde_kU there, that's the rules of the game. Actually, with just Tropic Thunder, Dodgeball, Pineapple Express, Anchorman and Zoolander, you have all the entretainment you'd ever want.

2009-12-06 [Veltzeh]: [Danboo]: could you write what Danielis is thinking, and specifically if he's being serious about not hurting the others. (Referring to what Kaider last did...) X)

2009-12-06 [Danboo]: erk, what happened to that long rant about the younger telepathic people ugh!

2009-12-06 [Flisky]: Vlad and Devin should play one on one dodgeball and see who throws harder. Haha.

2009-12-06 [Duredhel]: [Danboo] cut it out with the you

2009-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Yeah, that is a totally non-standard post. :P It should be a regular post like everything else. (And please fix the grammar, seriously... >_>)
Also, while I understand why Danielis might react that way to to telepathy and mind-reading, it would be really nice to have that read on his power section.
What is this rant you're talking about? :o

2009-12-07 [Danboo]: it is on my powers, that i can increase and decrease bodily function, or even strenghten muscles, cause its mainly electricity that your brain sends to your body, and sorry i'm being kinda unreliable right now, just alot of crap..

2009-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Yep, I know, but it would be nice to see it written out in his power section. That doesn't explain if he can detect mind reading, though, and Kaider isn't exactly probing deep there, just feeling the surface thoughts to see if he's being serious. X)

2009-12-07 [Flisky]: That would be increased nerve functions, not increased muscle abilities. His reactions would be faster than normal, but he wouldn't be any physically stronger. (He would also be able to turn off nerves if he has that level of control....)

2009-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Hmm, I think that the electric signal control would increase the control of the muscles so that it's possible to exert more force in a controlled manner. I noticed on myself that even though I actually have the strength to lift something, if the weight is enough that I'm on my limit, I can only test the weight but not move it because I think I'd risk injury if I did move it. Now, if I had greater control over my muscles, I think I could move it. But that would be a quite small strength increase, and I'm totally speculating. Also controlling the electric signals could ease the pain that comes from exerting too much force (which could again "increase" strength a little bit), but that doesn't prevent injury. But I agree that control over the electric signals in the body wouldn't directly increase strength.

2009-12-07 [Danboo]: lol yeah, have you ever had electroshock therapy

2009-12-07 [Flisky]: They used electrodes to stimulate the nerves in my lower leg after I dislocated it. It was like...I don't know. Like everything was going off at once...

2009-12-07 [Danboo]: the other one, where it feels like its numb if you don't move it, yet you feel the muscles twitching

2009-12-07 [Duredhel]: You understand now why I'm so fond of rule-based, Veltz? XD

2009-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Oh, I prefer rule-based myself, in case you didn't know. :P If mutant abilities weren't so unfair and incompatible with rules in general, I'd probably make a ruleset for this game, heh!

2009-12-07 [Veltzeh]: Anyway, [Danboo], could you fix that post of yours up there or will I do it? (And I would edit it rather radically.) Would probably be better if you wrote a totally new one.

2009-12-07 [Danboo]: er go ahead an edit it, i'm not in the right state of mind right now. argg...

2009-12-07 [Duredhel]: WHile yer editing, you should post with Kaider, to see if we can get teams going >___<

2009-12-07 [Sturmi]: yeahhh lets get this going! I want to see some deadly dodgeballs flying around X)

2009-12-08 [Duredhel]: I've always found that with any kind of power or special ability, simpler is better, with Danielis' power, controlling electricity is cool, can shock people, can make a railgun-like weapon out of stuff (considering recoil, obviously). Going into nerve impulses, sinapses and muscles, however, is just convoluted and stretching the idea more than what it was worth. Btw :P gonna post cuz I don't feel like waiting for Veltz XD

2009-12-08 [Roma]: No, no, I meant that he's already picking teams.

2009-12-08 [Duredhel]: Sorry >o< forgot about Flame.

2009-12-08 [Figgy]: And Shana! D: But Shana didn't want to be :]

2009-12-08 [Duredhel]: Well Shana is still pretty new :P, at least compared to the other 3.

2009-12-08 [Figgy]: Hmnn.... 8 years? I go look.

2009-12-08 [Roma]: We know that technically Shana has been there for a while but she still feels like a newbie to us. Or at least me, I'm not trying to speak for the others.

2009-12-08 [Figgy]: I understand. Let's just says she went on hiatus for like... a year, in the last RP, or however long that lasted.

2009-12-08 [Roma]: Haha, I think she probably would only have to be gone for a day or two. But it took us a looooooong time to RP it.

2009-12-08 [Figgy]: Aight, she was at home for a week.

2009-12-08 [The Past]: And yet if this was done visually (pictures/movie) Flame would be hard to miss XD hehe

2009-12-08 [Veltzeh]: Wait, Vlad was picked a captain and Vlad then picked Flame for his team.

2009-12-08 [Sturmi]: yeah. Veltzeh is right. Nobody picked Flame as captain :P

2009-12-08 [The Past]: Oh... I got the context wrong #o.o# I FIX IT :B

2009-12-09 [Duredhel]: Let's hope this doesn't start winding down so soon D: Cmon people, post >o<, it's not that hard. Vlad could do his second pick now, for example.

2009-12-09 [Figgy]: D:

2009-12-09 [Duredhel]: The roomies are in the same team :P

2009-12-09 [Figgy]: Hoorah! I think... ?

2009-12-09 [Duredhel]: haha yah XD. Uhhm.. what should we do about [Danboo]? :/

2009-12-09 [Roma]: I dunno and was wondering the same thing myself, Dur.

2009-12-10 [Duredhel]: Mebbe he should take a hiatus from the game until his life settles down a bit and he can actually play? cuz as it is right now, he's just slowing things down...

2009-12-10 [Roma]: Yeah, waiting on him is turning into a pain in the arse.

2009-12-11 [Danboo]: well sor-ry!

2009-12-11 [Duredhel]: *sigh* so... Danboo.. you came in after we were all waiting on you for over a day.. posted a one liner. And completely forgot you had two characters in the area...

2009-12-11 [Veltzeh]: Plus it was the wrong character. Cough. >_>

2009-12-11 [Roma]: Danboo, listen up. You think we're ganging up on you? Well it might seem that way. But when you are supposed to be in a position of authority on this RP and you don't bother to read all the posts and make sure they you heard the other characters (Vlad) correctly then it shows an utter disrespect that none of us here who manage to keep our shit straight appreciate. I doubt I'm making assumptions when I say we're aggravated.

Either, 1. READ EVERYTHING THOROUGHLY and make good posts. or 2. Forfeit.

2009-12-12 [Danboo]: listen roma, i've had some shit happen to me and i understand i'm causing a problem already so i don't need you to also say stuff, i'm working on it.

2009-12-12 [Duredhel]: Well [Danboo], life happens, to everyone. If you, as a GM or even a player can't take care of the RP, the best course of action is to recuse yourself until you CAN. Then when things settle down, you come back, simple as that.

By insisting on slowing down the entire game to your pace, all you'll manage to do is to kill it again. Take some time off, send your chars to their respective room and wait until you have some stability in your life. Then, when you have the time to be a proper GM, come back, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Your real life comes first, so take care of it properly, when things are better, then you can start taking care of the RP properly.

2009-12-14 [Veltzeh]: So, suggestions on resolving the game? Should we just post what feels reasonable or perhaps use the wiki's d20? X) Or decide the outcome with the d20 and then post accordingly?

2009-12-14 [Duredhel]: hahah XD we should totally migrate this slowly towards rule-based. I figure we're all responsible RPers and can just play it by ear :3. Hell, for my part I know Daniela sucks at sports.

2009-12-14 [Veltzeh]: She could still generate a shield, right? :P

2009-12-14 [Duredhel]: hahah yah XD, mebbe she can block one or two balls that way. Though she's more likely to generate it too slowly and get hit in the face XD

2009-12-14 [Sturmi]: just a reminder.
Team A - Kaider, Daniela, Shana
Team B - Vlad, Flame, White

2009-12-15 [Figgy]: Soo... we're just playing this how we want, and being mature about it? lol.

2009-12-15 [Roma]: Rule based would be good but I have a few questions about things, like how we would tally points. For example, Vlad, he's excellent at nothing but sports. However, he's also gotta be mindful of how he throws and if someone is capable of really chucking a ball he's not slow, but we're dealing with mutants here who are likely all faster than he. Compare that to Daniela who Dur says is awful at sports but presents a much smaller target. Would there be any consideration for such things or is it just roll, FTW or FAIL?

2009-12-15 [Duredhel]: Well when I do Rule-based I usually device a stat and point system to represent the character's abilities, strengths and weaknesses and the sort :P. Dunno how we would do it with simple dice rolls, I guess it'd be more luck than anything if we just do Pass/Fail. If it comes own to Veltz asking, I *COULD* come up with a simple rule-based system... usually takes me a weekend to make one XD (http://www.punbb-hosting.com/forums/rpthingie/viewforum.php?id=9 that one was done in a weekend). But I figure ALL players would have to agree to it, otherwise it'd be unfair and an unwelcome change to the game.

2009-12-15 [The Past]: Well, we all know our own characters well, as long as we use common sense in this it should be ok, without being too GOD MODEish about NEVER getting hit throughout the game. But I do agree about got to take in physical side of it and so on, after all Vlad is a big target XD heh

2009-12-15 [Roma]: Exactly, and he's not throwing very hard and doesn't have good control over his powers per se. So his skills in sports kind of count for nothing here since he can't throw or do much of anything the way he wants to. I'm thinking this game might kind of make him sad, lol. Maybe he and Devin should play catch, that way he can throw as hard as he wants without risk of making people bleed...rambling...gah

2009-12-15 [Veltzeh]: You know, that's one thing I wanted to say about Vlad's strength, now that I thought about it. He's strong, but not fast. Throwing a foam ball with a lot of strength but not much speed doesn't really have an effect on how far or forcefully it goes, since the ball's mass itself is so small. It'd be a little like throwing air.
Also, Kaider can anticipate throws with telepathy, but if the opponent isn't a good thrower and doesn't know exactly where the ball goes, telepathy is pretty much useless, or downright misleading. XD
