X-MEN GROUNDS WOODS



The woods boast a vast variety of wildlife as well as many kinds of trees. Aspens, evergreen, oak, ash, maple, red maple, are the most predominant trees founynd in these woods. Owls, fox, coyotes, timberwolves, copperhead snakes (amongst other less frightening varieties), white-tailed deer, bobcats, red squirrels, opossums, raccoons, wild geese, wild turkeys (and other assorted birds), turtles, and a great number of mosquitoes and other bugs are certainly prevalent in these woods and in the other woodlands of New York. The woods spread out in many directions but generally reach to the east and south, away from the town where progress has felled what surely was forest at one point. All in all, there are many acres of it and it would be easy enough to get lost. A river flows through; it a large, wide river with a few rapids but otherwise is only about waist deep. There are some rocky ravines, large hills to climb, and very interesting topography all around. The trees are tall and can block out the sun so unless one knows their cardinal directions, they had better keep an eye on where the sun is in the sky!



X-Men Time

Friday, November 18th





Post here

Jessica stood on the tree line having just traveled from the X-Men Grounds. She was now completely soaked and cold as hell, but she knew she had to get this job done. She moved farther into the forest looking for a nice piece of ground to bury the remains of the creature she couldn't identify. "Ah ha," she said loudly as she found a nice mud patch about three away from what appeared to be a maple tree. Unfortunately, Jessica forgot to bring a shovel so she started digging with her bare hands. As she dug deeper the ground became harder for her to dig up. "Fine," she bellowed slight infuriated and sad at the same time. The muscles in arms begin to tighten and expand as her mutant powers kicked in. "Lets how much the ground can withstand this?" She said outloud to no one in particular. She started digging again, and once she reached about five feet down she smiled with satisfaction. She carefully chucked the remains into the hole, and pushed the dirt into the hole. Afterwards, she stomped down on it flattening it down to the best of her ability. "Done," she said now slightly exhausted, but could now feel the freezing weather hitting her head on. Her nose was now stuffed up, and her hands ached with coldness and fatigue. Her breathing was slowed, and she shivering. "I..I...I...nee..ddd...to...ge....t back to the....mannn...sssion," she said to herself while shivering more frequently. She began walking in a direction for about ten minutes and didn't see anything. She didn't know which way she had gone, and what way to go next. Her thoughts had become jumbled, but she managed to exit the woods and find the X-Men Peach Lake.

2010-10-11 [Priest Kel]: Now all we need is a gay sparkly vampire

2010-10-11 [Roma]: "At least HP has got real vampire and werewolves. Not shapeshifters and mutated fairies!"

2010-10-11 [Priest Kel]: Hehehe

2010-11-15 [Roma]: Ha, not exactly Light's cup of tea?

2010-11-15 [Priest Kel]: Apparently

2010-11-23 [Ms. Steel]: Is there a cap for the number of players you would like participating?

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Dont think so :O. I mean, still wouldn't like 10+ people since we'd never finish anything XD.

2010-11-23 [Ms. Steel]: Understandable. :-) If I get Val out to Korvka, they can prolly just come together, then?

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: Ignore this if you don't find dirty humor funny.

I read that, and considering what Mihir just said to Korvka, I nearly choked on a bite of food.

2010-11-23 [Ms. Steel]: Just more fuel to the fire, I suppose. eh-heh.

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Gah, so much to reply to >,<

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: You can do it, Dur. We have faith in you! ^_^

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: I'll post with Dani after Roms posts :O since she might have to leave work soon.

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: Okay. *waits patiently*

2010-11-23 [Figgy]: If you guys wanna post before me, go ahead. I'm going on a long drive, yay! :D

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: *waits some more*

2010-11-23 [Figgy]: Roms disappeared O.o Well I figure I can try to post while I'm waiting on people. :3

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Yush! figgeh post! OCD demands it!

2010-11-23 [Roma]: Well I had just posted so I thought it would be best if I gave some others the chance. But since I have work, and am still here, post I shall!

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: Yay! Someone's posting! ^_^

2010-11-23 [Figgy]: Then thou shalt post before thine Figgy!

2010-11-23 [Roma]: Thine Figgy. You know this means we own you, right? XP

2010-11-23 [Figgy]: Yes. Yes I do.

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: Figgs turn?

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Uhm.. rooooms... rocks and soil aren't organic D:
Which brings me to the fact that Korvka's power should probably be looked over... considering that controling soil/rocks and controling and accelerating the growth of plants are two entirely different powers, as similar as.. say.. breathing fire and superstrength :<

2010-11-23 [Figgy]: Umm, Figgy will try to post now XD

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Go Figgy :D! uhhm Roms :O if you can, log onto msn sometime? :3

2010-11-23 [Roma]: Today is my last day at work :O I'll see if I can get to the library sometime soon but my ride is on their way as we speak

2010-11-23 [Duredhel]: Sure roms :3 no worries.

2010-11-23 [Roma]: It'll be cool to have some help hashing her out. I think she should go last then, since this coming week is going to be up in the air and then next Monday I fly home, where I can hopefully get my computer fixed and stuff. :D

I'll think of something responsible to do with Vlad.

2010-11-23 [Flisky]: Anyone suppose I can post now?

2010-11-23 [Roma]: I don't see why not.

2010-11-24 [Duredhel]: Yay! Powers display

2010-11-24 [Figgy]: Ixie's turn!

2010-11-24 [Ms. Steel]: It's coming! :-D

2010-11-24 [Figgy]: Holy shit. XD

2010-11-24 [Ms. Steel]: Yeeeah. Sorry about that. hehheh.

2010-11-24 [Figgy]: It's all good!

2010-11-24 [Figgy]: Flisk, it's your turn to post Mihir.

2010-11-24 [Flisky]: He's not participating in the training. Just watching from a distance. ^_^ I can still post him though.

2010-11-24 [Figgy]: It's whatever. If he's just gonna sit there and be amazed, I probably wouldn't bother :P

2010-11-24 [Flisky]: Okay. Unless he had some input, I wasn't planning on interrupting the training.

2010-11-24 [Duredhel]: I post then? :O

2010-11-24 [Flisky]: *nod nod*

2010-11-26 [Flisky]: *chirp chirp*

2010-11-29 [Ms. Steel]: I can always remove that last little post, since it's not really my turn.

2010-11-29 [Duredhel]: Ok so I was waiting for roms to be on... but if she doesn't log in today i'll do some reverse post engineering so we can move on.

2010-12-01 [Roma]: ACK I AM HERE

2010-12-01 [Flisky]: Post, Roms, post! ^_^

2010-12-01 [Roma]: Well I had to wait until Glee was over.

2010-12-01 [Flisky]: ^_^

2010-12-01 [NinjaBasco]: Korvka lost her accent

2010-12-01 [Roma]: Ah, sometimes I miss a w. Thanks NB

2010-12-02 [NinjaBasco]: no prob

2010-12-02 [Figgy]: Geez talk about post block XD

2010-12-02 [Roma]: -waits in a unbearable patience-

2010-12-02 [Figgy]: Yay crap post. Now everyone else post!!

2010-12-02 [Roma]: Yesssssss, post my precioussssssss's

2010-12-02 [Duredhel]: Tomorrow, I promise, after exams.

2010-12-05 [Roma]: :D Very cool. Everyone should be here.

2010-12-05 [Ms. Steel]: :-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-12-07 [Flisky]: Whose turn is it?

2010-12-07 [Figgy]: Dur is gonna post with Shade today. Actually, I might post Light, but her post will just be response and looking around. XD

2010-12-07 [Flisky]: ^_^

2010-12-08 [Duredhel]: Ok I post now :O!

2010-12-08 [Roma]: Haha, good. Korvka wants to know if she's right. Even if she's not asking. She's totally asking. XD

2010-12-08 [Flisky]: ^_^

2010-12-08 [Duredhel]: posted :D

2010-12-08 [Flisky]: Crap! I forgot to wait for Figgs!

2010-12-08 [Figgy]: Hahaha, don't worry. I'm busy as hell atm.

Yet I manage to keep track of what's going on here XD

2010-12-10 [Flisky]: *cricket cricket cricket*

2010-12-10 [Figgy]: I'll make Dur post tonight. He's been hella busy. Like me :/

2010-12-10 [Flisky]: That's okay. I just haven't seen this on my 'wiki changes' list, so I was gonna put it on everyone's 'wiki comments' list to remind them. (It seems to work sometimes)

2010-12-10 [Figgy]: Well, I'm finished with finals now, so as soon as I get home, I'll start setting everything back in action. :)

2010-12-11 [Duredhel]: Ok, no more exams till next friday. I post now :O

2010-12-11 [Figgy]: See? Told you I'd get him to post.

2010-12-11 [Duredhel]: Posted :O

2010-12-11 [Flisky]: ^_^

2010-12-11 [Figgy]: Roms and Ixie post?! :D

2010-12-11 [Ms. Steel]: Yes'm.

2010-12-11 [Flisky]: Are we all actually online at once?

2010-12-11 [Duredhel]: I think we are, let's get this show on the road.

2010-12-11 [Figgy]: Yess :D I think we should all stay online for a couple hours too XD

2010-12-11 [Flisky]: I agree fully.

2010-12-11 [Ms. Steel]: BAH HA HA.

I mean we'll see how long I can stay awake and coherent.

:-)

2010-12-11 [Duredhel]: Roms seems to be a goner tho :/

2010-12-11 [Figgy]: :D

2010-12-11 [Ms. Steel]: :-(

2010-12-11 [Flisky]: Yeah, we lost Roms.

2010-12-11 [Figgy]: I don't doubt that she will be back though. :3

2010-12-11 [Flisky]: She said she would be back in a few hours. :P

2010-12-13 [Figgy]: Funny how I tell everyone to post, then when it comes my turn, I suck XD
In my own defense, though, I've worked my butt off the past few days.

2010-12-13 [Figgy]: In the morning, I post!

2010-12-13 [Flisky]: ...It's okay, we love you anyways. ^_^

2010-12-14 [Figgy]: Woo!!! Took me 6 hours to think that one up :D

Plus two days.

2010-12-14 [Duredhel]: luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurv

2010-12-14 [Figgy]: .....

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: Okay...so as long as nobody logs off, I think we can progress tihs...

2010-12-14 [Ms. Steel]: I can only muster a lukewarm fondness.

2010-12-14 [Ms. Steel]: I'll be here at least a little while. Writing Christmas cards. :-I

2010-12-14 [Duredhel]: fast post :O! lesee if we can get this rolling :P

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: ^_^ I posted. (That was a longish post for me, too...)

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: I think it's Roms turn...

2010-12-14 [Roma]: Well she's still practicing her seed and vine trick and nothing has really changed that she would react to. I can certainly post if that's what it will take, but I had not posted for that reason.

2010-12-14 [Figgy]: Umm, I'll post then >.>

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: So it would be Figgs, then.

2010-12-14 [Roma]: Bah fuck it, I'll post.

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: I'm about ready to head off to bed, so if Dur is going to post again, I will stay awake and post. If not, I'm off.

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: Forgot to react to Dani. :P

2010-12-14 [Roma]: -waits only for Valerie and then will post-

2010-12-14 [Flisky]: I'm so glad I can wait to post with Mihir. He's just a spectator and has no preconceived notions about their powers.

*coughs*

2010-12-18 [Ms. Steel]: *noodges Roma*

2010-12-18 [Roma]: Sorry, been checking randomly but not sticking around for long. I'll post this weekend.

2010-12-21 [Duredhel]: Ok posting... but here's what I'm not getting... how can korvka gain energy from eating something she used her own energy to produce? >,< where is the extra energy coming from? Isn't the amount of energy obtained from eating say.. a plant, a fraction of the amount used to produce it?

2010-12-21 [Roma]: That's why I had her plant a bush that would produce more than one bit of fruit. Yeah, it costs energy to make the seed grow into a plant, but unless you're counting that each berry grown is sapping energy from Korvka I don't agree with your conclusion.

2010-12-21 [Duredhel]: Uhhm.. actually there's a good chance an apple has more energy that all the berries in the bush packed together, since it has a greater biomass. And really it doesn't matter if it's one berry or a thousand, a certain amount of energy is invested into growing the bush, that energy is then subdivided into all the parts of the bush, a lot is lost in cellular processes and only a bit ends up in the berries perse.

So Korvka is putting say... 10 into growing the bush, 5 are lost in cellular processes, 4 are stored in leaves, roots, etc. and 1 is in the berries (so probably about 0,1 per berry). So the energy intake a fraction of a fraction of the energy spent to produce the bush in the first place.

2010-12-21 [Roma]: But I was hung up on the fact that she already had the seed. I figured that for her to create the apple, which would not just be an apple, she'd have to grow a bit of plant along with it, expending even more energy there, it would be a better use of her energies to just use a seed she already had. Since she already had the seed from the handful she made, I thought it would be less taxing than to start from scratch.

2010-12-21 [Duredhel]: Uhhm.. keep in mind the energy the plant uses to grow doesn't come from the seed (yes, there is a bit of food stored there, but it's a minimal part). Unfortunately it's impossible for Korvka to regain energy from eating anything she grew herself, in fact, it would be a huge waste of energy. So far I had figured she was obtaining energy through photosynthesis and just ate for pleasure.

Almost all the energy any living thing has through its lifetime is spent on growing and other functions, and only a minimal part is stored. So you'll never gain more energy from eating the cow than what it took to.. uhm.. grow it.

An energy chain is useful to visualize this-
http://lgfl.skoool.co.uk/uploadedImages/12.2_energy_food_chains.gif
If Korvka is both the producer and the primary consuming, every time she grows anything to eat with her powers, she's losing 90% of the energy she used while regaining only 10%.

2010-12-21 [Roma]: So then she can just move into a sunny spot, though I hadn't considered that she was so plantlike herself.

And I assume you're still posting so I'll wait until you're done to amend. Scratch that, I got family shits to do tonight. I'll fix later. Thanks for the info, Dur. XD

2010-12-21 [Duredhel]: Photosynthesis can be pretty slow, but I figure Korvka sitting in a meditation stance in the middle of a sunny patch could be pretty cool XD.

2010-12-21 [Veltzeh]: Good Dur, I have taught you well. ;D

2010-12-21 [Ms. Steel]: Forgive me if I misinterpreted the order of the obstacles, but it looks like the hole and the first set of trippy, non-thorny roots are... side-by-side? And then the mass of thorns is beyond that, so that is unavoidable?

2010-12-21 [Roma]: Val --> thorny vines --> roots --> pothole --> trees --> Korvka lying in a sunny patch

2010-12-22 [Flisky]: Addy is in limbo until after Val posts...

2010-12-22 [Ms. Steel]: Well then, I am glad I clarified that!

2010-12-22 [Ms. Steel]: Also, I am posting. I swear.

2010-12-22 [Ms. Steel]: Sooo, I could post her ENTIRE way through the course, or do it in sections, to avoid a super, gigantic, uber-post, and allowing reaction.

Or, after Addy is posted, I could finish Val's trek.

2010-12-24 [Roma]: XD Love how Valerie got through that, Ix.

2010-12-25 [Ms. Steel]: The poor coddled girl needs to get a little rattled! ;-b

2010-12-25 [Roma]: I would post but I think its Dani's turn.

2010-12-28 [Roma]: Ok, so if Val doesn't reply by tonight I am going to post Korvka leaving. Being trapped in limbo is no fun!

2010-12-28 [Ms. Steel]: Was just waiting for an Addy post. :-)

2010-12-28 [Roma]: Don't forget Mihir!

2010-12-28 [Duredhel]: Psht XD I think everyone forgot Mihir.

2010-12-28 [Roma]: Yeah but I'm supposed to get him together with Michael and Korvka somehow for the missions so I am reporting for duty!

2010-12-28 [Duredhel]: I know, I know, it's a joke Roms :3

2010-12-28 [Roma]: I got it. Simply adding to the Flisky kick in da pants XP

2010-12-29 [Flisky]: Roms know me so well. ^_^

2011-01-26 [Mrs Vicious.]: erm how long ago was the last bit posted?

2011-01-26 [Figgy]: Long time ago. Add a < i >Later< / i >...

2011-01-26 [Mrs Vicious.]: Will do, that's why I asked. thankies.

2011-01-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: erm, you've posted that twice...

2011-01-27 [XxTsomexX]: Hmmm should I start bringing Endelyn over here since they want everyone at the woods I guess???? Sorry I haven't been so active lately, work has been eating up all of my free time.

2011-01-27 [Figgy]: Nupe. We (Dur, Roms, and I) have Endelyn stationed in the Danger Room.

2011-01-27 [XxTsomexX]: ok :D lol I am off Saturday, and that's when I'll be able to post. I hope that's ok.

2011-01-27 [Figgy]: Tis fine.

2011-01-30 [Figgy]: Alright, from here on, SilverFire has to take care of Erin.

2011-01-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: Cool beans.

2011-01-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: The hell. rofl. " ans swunf his leg over" I love that bit.

2011-01-31 [Roma]: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

X3

2011-02-02 [Duredhel]: So... who needs to react here?

2011-02-02 [Figgy]: Everyfuckingbody. :D

2011-02-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Sorry bout that. Had an unexpected computer brakedown.

2011-02-07 [Duredhel]: Are the brakes ok now?

2011-02-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah, I got them replaced and an MOT done. should be driving like it was fresh out the shop now.

2011-02-07 [Roma]: Vicious, there's no need for hr tags around your post. And read Dur's comment again. You should be chuckling. Should I wait for Erin any longer?

2011-02-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Oop, sorry forgot about that bit, in other RP's I'm trying to catch up, most of them have hr's between posts. Also, I know I used the wrong break. (I always get them mixed up,) and just went along with it.(you cant really get MOT's for computers, and they dont "drive" btw)

2011-02-08 [twitchboy]: and now for erin.....

2011-02-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: 's like waiting for a train...

2011-02-11 [Roma]: The train is here. I'll wait no longer.

2011-02-13 [Figgy]: Try not to decide what results from the actions your character takes, guys. It's the GM (or other personnel)'s decision.
Also, really try to include your character's reaction to everything else going on around them. If you need examples, go check out the fight at X-Men Grounds Peach Lake.

2011-02-13 [Mrs Vicious.]: sorry bout the long wait but I'm not going to be on much, just popped in to say so. Feel free to assign a mod to my char if you want her moving.

2011-02-21 [twitchboy]: ominous wind sound...tumbleweed

2011-02-21 [Figgy]: Silver, if you don't post with Erin anymore, I'mma have Roms make the commandos kidnap her >.>

2011-02-24 [Roma]: At this rate we may as well kidnap Lisa too. -_-

2011-02-24 [Figgy]: I already sent Vicious a message about that too XD

2011-02-24 [Duredhel]: How is the DR group doing? mebbe some students ought to be knocked out too?

2011-02-24 [Roma]: Endelyn hasn't been too bad. Virgil is posting when I post, and I have no troubles whatsoever with Teena.

2011-02-26 [XxTsomexX]: XD

2011-02-26 [Roma]: So is the hammer about to fall? I'd like to get this one over with so that at least Justin can go RP somewhere, unless twitch is MIA too, then we can just take all three of them. >_>

2011-02-26 [Figgy]: Twitch is still around. I'll let you know tonight what to do.

2011-02-27 [twitchboy]: okie dokie

2011-03-10 [Roma]: All righty, [twitchboy]. Short, unexpected mission. You're officially free now.

2011-03-12 [twitchboy]: well...i do have an idea....just gotta look back and see if i have already found out if xavier is a telepath if so im going to scream out to him to tell him what happened

2011-04-28 [twitchboy]: ok so where to now guys? infirmary?

2011-04-28 [Figgy]: Yeah, but don't have him wake up.... trying to get a day change done. He can be all paranoid and stuff on Halloween.

2011-05-21 [Danboo]: I'll start with that and in a few hours or tomorrow i'll continue

2011-05-22 [Danboo]: well i was trying to get pure sax, and i did something i could actually play XD

2011-05-22 [Roma]: I sang that song in college. Sarah Vaughn style. XD Good pick. It's a bit funny that he's doing it in the woods though. TERRIBLE acoustic outside.

Figgy - XD XD

2011-05-22 [Danboo]: well there actually is a reason why he's doing it out there so nngh! :P

2011-05-23 [Roma]: Yeah. I'm sure there's a 'perfectly logical' explanation.

2011-05-23 [Danboo]: no, actually its pretty illogical, just reasonable. :P
and i'm not so worried if its not a prime music location, seeing as how i'm deaf XP

2011-05-25 [Danboo]: hmm... I'm trying a different style, critique me please

2012-01-04 [Lepellier]: Something she forgot to say?

2012-01-04 [XxTsomexX]: Yeah. Its actually what I forgot I wanted her to say. I wanted her to say something but I can't for the life of remember what it was

2012-01-04 [Flisky]: Once Endelyn learns what happened to Addy, she's going to be even more superstitious...

2012-01-04 [XxTsomexX]: Oh yeah lol

2012-01-09 [Lepellier]: Woops, I thought I posted.

2012-01-09 [XxTsomexX]: It's all good lol

2012-01-10 [XxTsomexX]: Hehehe greyhound bus :D

2012-01-10 [Lepellier]: o.O I missed something, I think.

2012-01-10 [XxTsomexX]: She was thinking about how moss grows on the north side of a tree. But then she looked at the way she was pointing and figured it would be a bad idea to trythat thought out

2012-01-10 [Roma]: You guys know it's storming, right? Wandering through the woods should leave them wet and cold, considering the climate.

2012-01-10 [Lepellier]: Yes, we do know it's storming quite well. :D

2012-01-10 [XxTsomexX]: Yup. They've just managed to get themselves lost however.

2012-01-11 [XxTsomexX]: Had to move my post so it made sense :S

2012-03-09 [Figgy]: Post post! :D
