X-MEN MANSION GATES



Tucked away in the corridor of deciduous and evergreen trees lining Graymalkin Lane is the entrance to Charles Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters. The swing gates themselves appear to be custom and cast in iron with bright gold leaf accents. The institute's X logo is emblazoned in the center of each half, and are attached to two imposing red brick pillars on either side. When facing the gate, the pillar to the right bears a weathered copper plaque, stating Xavier Estate, est 1761, and the pillar to the left bears an intercom box for visitors and a key pad for returning residents of the school. A thick wall of tall, expertly-sculpted arborvitae line the remainder of the front lawn's fenced perimeter, which provide both an aesthetic appeal as well as added privacy. Hidden from plain site is the entrance to the underground X-Men Garage.

2012-09-05 [Figgy]: Had to >_>

2012-09-05 [XxTsomexX]: Hahahahaha

2012-09-05 [Figgy]: Hey, Evo, try to always link to the page that your character is moving. I know where they're going, but other players might not be able to keep up. :3

2012-09-05 [Evolution X]: Ah, alrighty then.

2012-09-09 [Figgy]: The bike should actually come out from somewhere near the gates, so she doesn't drive through them :>

2012-09-10 [Lirerial]: oh ok :) urgh mistakes everywhere today :p

2012-09-11 [Figgy]: Let's just say the tunnel entrance, for now, is well hidden behind some trees and hedges or something >_>
I think we'll make it so that the students have to have security clearance later.

2012-09-11 [Ms. Steel]: Arrighty.

2012-09-25 [Figgy]: Need a Shade post here.

2012-09-25 [Figgy]: I think Dur is gonna respond to the text message post in his next post, Roms, in case you were waiting on that.

2012-09-26 [Flisky]: Still find it hilarious that she only actually attacked Flame and Light attacked her. I think Light has selective memory. She selects what she actually remembers.

2012-09-26 [Figgy]: Uhmm, I think in that moment of chaos, Light wasn't actually paying attention to who Addy specifically attacked. If she attacked one of them, then she attacked all of them, in her mind. Besides, she's just relaying a story, not recounting all the specific events in her head. Light's also not going to go, "Yeah but I got the bitch!"

2012-09-26 [Flisky]: Light's mind doesn't work on the same wavelength mine does. :P

2012-09-26 [Duredhel]: Tis the pain meds, flisk, it'll be back to normal soon :>

2012-09-26 [Flisky]: I hope so. ^_^

2012-10-13 [The Black Goat]: *waits (sort of) patiently*

2012-10-13 [Evolution X]: Everyone else just kinda wondered inside...

2012-10-13 [Figgy]: Yeahh, you're waiting for nothing at this point.

2012-10-13 [The Black Goat]: hmmm good point

2012-11-12 [Figgy]: He doesn't know Valerie's age >_> Besides, she's 18 too. Unless he's assuming she's 16 because she said she got a car when she was 16

2012-11-12 [Evolution X]: Yes, he's assuming that.

2012-12-08 [Ms. Steel]: Is it okay for Val and Anthony to move along, or should we wait until Vance is gone?

2012-12-08 [Figgy]: Go for it

2012-12-10 [Ms. Steel]: I figure you're suuuuper busy and stuff, so this isn't meant to be a pestering sort of thing, but shall I wait to continue posting to get them to the gates, or just keep going? Naturally, if there is some bloody, vomiting stranger on the side of the road, Val will try to engage him in conversation if he's still there.

2012-12-10 [Figgy]: You can continue posting. It's doubtful Vance will try anything now.

2012-12-10 [Duredhel]: I suggest they don't notice him, for brevity's sake, we're changing days asap.

2012-12-10 [Ms. Steel]: Sounds like a plan.

2012-12-14 [Figgy]: Hey, Lep, when will you have Aidan get here?

2012-12-14 [Lepellier]: As soon as Sam is in the mansion. I kind of wanted to have a little bit of separation between the two.

2012-12-14 [Figgy]: That's fine, was just wondering.

2012-12-14 [Lepellier]: Absolutely. :) (Also, Aidan may just sort of let himself in. [Pop a copy of himself on the other side of the fence and shift to it.]).

2012-12-14 [Roma]: I hope that is ok right there.

2013-01-09 [Figgy]: Past, gotta remember to post here too.

2013-01-10 [Flisky]: Um...the car only has two doors. You would have to pop the seat forward to climb in.

2013-01-10 [Dwarf Ronin]: OH... kk.

2013-01-10 [Flisky]: And Tory is short for Victoria...There's only Tory and Sao. 

2013-01-10 [The Black Goat]: wait, what other new comer?

2013-01-11 [Lepellier]: Would Danger recognize Aidan as someone who was supposed to be at the Mansion if he decided to "let himself in"?

2013-01-11 [Duredhel]: let's say yes. Cuz it's faster.

2013-01-11 [Lepellier]: Fair enough. I mean, he has lived in the mansion before.

2013-01-26 [Figgy]: Twiiiitch no name in your post. Second time in a row. I fixed the last one.

2013-01-26 [twitchboy]: well she hadnt formally introduced herself yet so i was planning to until then but yeah ill fix it =)

2013-01-26 [Figgy]: Doooooesnt matter, still need a name to indicate who it is or else no one else knows.

2013-01-26 [twitchboy]: ok then

2013-01-27 [twitchboy]: hmm should i wait for Casper? and i feel there is a reason his hands are behind his back... a small cold spherical reason

2013-01-27 [The Black Goat]: Lol

2013-01-28 [Figgy]: Sorry, gonna post tonight.

2013-01-28 [twitchboy]: i forgot the bold again -_-; lord why am i noobing it up?

2013-01-28 [The Black Goat]: Am I good to post with Izzy or should I wait for the others to clear out first?

2013-01-28 [The Black Goat]: also my comp is down (supposedly its all my fault too) so I'll be posting through comments mainly

2013-01-28 [Figgy]: Maybe let Lexi pass through first, then everyone can bring their new chars in :3

2013-01-28 [Figgy]: Twitch, go ahead and post, because Casper has nothing to reply to yet.

2013-01-29 [Figgy]: Hey, [Haunted Fate], since I know you're new to the RP and all, here's a heads up: Try to keep your character's posts to one paragraph on public pages (using more than one paragraph in their personal dorm is O.K.) and there is also no need to bold their name more than once. :)

2013-01-29 [Haunted Fate]: Ok, thanks! It's my first time doing RPs in this kind of layout, so I'll do my best to learn it quickly!

2013-01-29 [Duredhel]: Just so you guys know, when there's other players RPing in the same area/page as you, it's considered common courtesy to give them some time to post before you post again :O.

2013-01-29 [Figgy]: *sits in the corner all neglected and shit*

2013-01-29 [Lirerial]: Rage says hi? :-D

2013-01-29 [Duredhel]: ..... and they keep going :/. Guys, what part of "wait till everyone has had a chance to post before you post again." is not getting through? Its how we've ALWAYS played, unless a GM says 'don't wait for this person'. I'm seriously about to erase posts.

You guys are RPing well but you can't just go off and leave other players in the dust. I think what we'll do is, you guys keep going, but keep in mind what I just said for future instances. I'll talk to Figgs so she can post Casper retroactively, as in, post him leaving the area or something before Rage's and Lillium's first posts.

2013-01-29 [Lirerial]: The only thing I changed was trying to go back to Casper....

2013-01-30 [Figgy]: Yeah, but going to Casper twice AFTER leaving him in the dust creates an awkward situation for me in which I have to have him reply, or stick around long enough, to reply to two greetings from the same person. I'mma post him leaving right after the first greeting.

2013-01-30 [Lirerial]: Sorry, I'll be more careful next time

2013-01-30 [The Black Goat]: Man that was a pain!

2013-02-01 [The Black Goat]: What a little creeper lol

2013-02-04 [Lirerial]: Casper post?

2013-02-10 [Figgy]: Lire, I think Rage should have grinned at Lillium, not Issabelle.

2013-02-10 [Lirerial]: oh oops lol changing!

2013-02-12 [The Black Goat]: creepily taking the powers of everyone he meets >_>

2013-02-12 [Figgy]: Haha, he's only like 9 XD He finds it fascinating.

2013-02-13 [Figgy]: Haunted! Lillium! Or in entrance court :>

2013-02-13 [Haunted Fate]: Yikes. My apologies for taking so long.

2013-02-13 [Figgy]: Be sure to post Lillium in the entrance court, too :>

2013-02-13 [Haunted Fate]: Should I have put that post there instead? Or don't I need to wait for Rage in the entrance court? I'm trying to learn all the specifics behind this forum posting. xD

2013-02-13 [Figgy]: Okay, what I would do here:

Lillium gave a small laugh at Casper's pure, undiluted excitement at the situation he was in. The little kid was seriously cute! "Hello, Casper!" And then, much like she'd seen him do with Rage, his tiny hand reached up through the gap between the two front seats and towards her face. Since it didn't seem like he held any malicious intent behind his actions, she allowed him to brush his fingers over her cheek just before Rage shot the car forward towards the X-Men Entrance Court.

This half of the post belongs on this page, reacting to Rage's and Casper's posts only on this page.



In a brief moment of concern, Lillium grabbed onto the seat's material as the car slid across the pavement. However, once she was quite sure that her life was not in any immediate danger and that Rage had the chaos under control, she allowed herself to relax as she turned back to Casper to see what he was up to.

THIS part of the post should be in the Entrance Court, reacting to the content of Rage's post on that page :>

2013-02-13 [Haunted Fate]: Cool. Thankies~ :D

2013-04-15 [The Black Goat]: I'll wait for you Dur before I continue on in case Daniela's going to start up conversation

2013-05-27 [Figgy]: Will we be going off the premise that Korvka and Kyle simply parted ways, or something else?

2013-05-27 [Ms. Steel]: Yeah. They probay had an awful argument between the two of them again. Something sophmoric and dramatic, and then Kyle finally realized how ill-equipped he is for his planned journey in winter.

2013-06-11 [twitchboy]: ill wait for kyle

2013-07-09 [The Black Goat]: Is it supposed to be "or" shana or is elizabeth charms made "of" shana tilar lol

2013-07-15 [Figgy]: Dunno why the comments were hidden, unless I accidentally clicked something.

2013-07-16 [XxTsomexX]: Endelyn walked in right behind Addy, making sure not to forget her dufflebag. "I can't wait to meet her. She sounds nice through the texts you've sent me." She admitted with her usual smile as the gates clicked closed behind them.

2013-07-16 [Figgy]: The gates never opeeeeened :>

2013-07-16 [Flisky]: I was...posting ahead? I'm impatient.

2013-07-16 [Figgy]: I was referring to Endelyn's post. Addy never passed through the gate.

2013-07-16 [XxTsomexX]: Lol

2013-07-16 [Figgy]: Ohhh, wait, nevermind. I missed that part >_>

2013-07-17 [XxTsomexX]: *poke*

2013-07-18 [Flisky]: *flails* Oh my god I thought I posted!

2013-07-18 [XxTsomexX]: Endelyn's roommate is blue and fuzzy. Nothing surprises her anymore, though it does intrigue her.

2013-07-18 [XxTsomexX]: I want to wait for a response from the gate, if that's okay :)

2013-07-18 [Lirerial]: Flisky, Hilery is completely white.., as in living statue white. She's obviously a mutant :) and shimmery lol

2013-07-18 [Flisky]: I'm going to go out on a limb and say that while traveling in public she probably tried to make that fact not so obvious? You know, because mutants aren't exactly accepted in society.

2013-07-18 [Lirerial]: She traveled in a box.... And took form at the mansion because it's supposed to be mutant friendly.

2013-07-18 [Flisky]: ...Yeah...so many questions. I won't ask any of them though for the sake of time. Because even if she were holding a sign that said 'I'm a mutant' Addy would still be quite...skittish.

2013-07-18 [Lirerial]: Lol ok

2013-08-14 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Following her out of the cab was a taller male, his shaved head covered by a grey beanie, his equally blue eyes taking in his new surroundings and the mansion that lay ahead. "It is. And big." he commented dryly. He pulled his duffle bag out from the trunk and slung it over his shoulder, and paid the cab driver before joining his sister's side. Ulric Volkov read the plaque briefly, then glanced up again. He was not as excited as his younger sister to be here. In his mind, they were here out of necessity, not fun. They needed to learn control. That's why they were here. "Well, let's not stand in our wet boots out here, let's go." he said, leading her through the gates and up the path. He wasn't as comfortable in the snow as she was.

2013-08-14 [The Black Goat]: are the gates open?

2013-08-14 [Duredhel]: Let's assume they're closed to they can get their room assignments and stuff :O

2013-08-14 [The Black Goat]: cat change post s'il te plait?

2013-08-14 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: I'm at work and on my phone, so I'll change my post when I can.

2013-08-14 [The Black Goat]: kayo luv

2013-08-15 [Duredhel]: Press ze button :O!

2013-08-15 [Figgy]: DEE DEE NO

2013-08-15 [The Black Goat]: oops sorry I left us in limbo, ended posting late last night :goes to fix:

2013-08-24 [The Black Goat]: GM post needed here?

2013-08-24 [CuteCommander]: Will move Shawn on when I have time later

2013-11-22 [Flisky]: Wrong name.

2013-11-22 [Figgy]: Hah, I didn't bother editing it.

2013-11-22 [Flisky]: I figured. :)

2014-03-05 [Ms. Steel]: Vhnori, the X-Men Mansion Gates lead into X-Men Entrance Court and so forth from each page. The X-Men Dormitories isn't actually a playable area. :-)

2014-03-05 [Ms. Steel]: Start X-Men has beautiful maps to show how everything is connected, too.

2014-03-05 [Vhnori Valmos]: Ah, I didnt realize I wasnt allowed to go directly to the dorm area, lol.

2014-03-05 [Ms. Steel]: [Figgy] or [Duredhel] also usually play Danger, not the individual players. :-) The layout has a lot of pages, but once you start watching the pages and get accustomed to it, it's pretty easy.

2014-03-05 [Vhnori Valmos]: Ah ok. Well I'll at least correct my destination and head somewhere that im allowed to go from this point, lol.

2014-03-05 [Figgy]: Uhmm remember to write all your posts in past tense too, V.

2014-03-05 [Vhnori Valmos]: Ok fixed, im so sorry about that, im kinda out of practice with past tense posts, lol. I usually do present tense when I RP, I'll make a larger effort to use the proper style. ^^

2014-03-05 [Figgy]: Ok, better. I'll fix the Danger thing later.

2014-03-05 [Figgy]: Ok, fixed. Keep in mind that Vhnori will surely be shocked to learn that Xavier and all the teachers have gone missing, so have her react appropriately when she realizes it.

2014-03-05 [Vhnori Valmos]: Understood. ^^ Btw since im pretty much brand new to this RP and there are literally thousands of posts, where exactly do I find Elizabeth?

2014-03-05 [Figgy]: Elizabeth is Flame, and she's currently on a mission. Shana is in the Infirmary right now, though.

2014-03-05 [Vhnori Valmos]: Ah ok, thanks.

2014-03-13 [ancienteye]: How cold is the weather? :o I think there was a snowball fight, but I can't remember...

2014-03-13 [Figgy]: It's pretty cold. There's still quite a bit of snow around, too.

2014-03-13 [Figgy]: X-Men Time tells you all you need to know.

2014-03-13 [ancienteye]: Ok. :P

2014-03-13 [ancienteye]: Did I over-describe?

2014-03-13 [Figgy]: Not at all.

2014-03-13 [ancienteye]: Yay. I usually don't put that much detail to clothes in-story. XP

2014-03-15 [ancienteye]: Who plays Danger? Is it Duredhel or Figgy? :o

2014-03-15 [Figgy]: It can be either of us, but I've been having issues with ET lately.

2014-03-15 [ancienteye]: Oh. I hope whatever it is gets cleared up. :/

2014-03-21 [ancienteye]: No envelope this time? :P

2014-03-21 [ancienteye]: They're both easily distracted~

2014-03-21 [Flisky]: I can move Rook out into the foyer if you want someone there.

2014-04-27 [Vhnori Valmos]: Soo, is Ruby ever going to be allowed into the mansion? Lol

2014-04-30 [Figgy]: ??? She's allowed in but I haven't seen her move.

2014-04-30 [Vhnori Valmos]: I havent moved her yet, im still waiting to figure out what dorm im getting so I can know whats in the envelope, lol.

2014-04-30 [The Black Goat]: I don't think you need to wait? It isn't necessary for her to name her room number in order to have her walk in that direction really.

2014-04-30 [Vhnori Valmos]: Well maybe its just my mindset or whatever, but Ruby is the kind of person that would open that envelope immediately before even thinking of going anywhere else. So yeah, as far as im concerned I need to wait till I know where she has to go before moving her and its not like its hurting anything letting her stand there while her dorm gets figured out. ^^
Also im going to be gone for most of the day to donate plasma, so I currently dont really have time to move her anyways since I have to leave in just a few minutes, lol.

2014-05-13 [Figgy]: I need to wait for Flisk to post, but I'll bring René out here after she does.

2014-05-13 [Lirerial]: kk

2014-05-13 [Figgy]: René is so exciteeeed.

2014-05-15 [ancienteye]: 80 days?

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: he ran away and walked from washington state i'd imagine its far away. Also he wouldnt know exactly where the mansion is

2014-05-15 [ancienteye]: XD Oh, yeah. *thought it said Washington, DC*

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: lol yea i modded it a bit to make more sense

2014-05-15 [Figgy]: Nik, don't forget to put bold tags around your character's name (theres a button on the edit page that puts them in for you if you don't know how) and maybe have him do something like press the intercom button?

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok

2014-05-15 [ancienteye]: It only needs to be around your characters name on the first time per post. :o

2014-05-15 [Lirerial]: And you put </b> after the name

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok, good to know

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: Figgs, what happens next?

2014-05-15 [The Black Goat]: When the GMs get back they'll do a post that'll give nik his room asognmwnt and stuff and let him in :)

2014-05-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok ^_^ good to know

2014-05-15 [Figgy]: Now he can walk through the gates to the entrance court. If you can remember, try to link the pages he is walking to whenever he moves from one area to another. Any area he can get to from where he currently is is listed under "accessible areas".

Also, no need to bold his name more than once :3 It's just a formality so people can easily see if a particular character has been posted with or not.

2014-05-18 [Lirerial]: omg that's my daughter's name!

2014-05-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Lol, I know. I remembered that right after I chose it.

2014-05-18 [Vhnori Valmos]: ARYA!!!!! (Sorry big Game of Thrones fan, lol)

2014-05-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Lol, that too. But mostly it was the only name I liked that had a meaning I liked for this character

2014-05-18 [Vhnori Valmos]: Ah, well I like it, lol. Its a good name. ^^

2014-05-18 [Lirerial]: Yes, a good name :3

2014-05-18 [~Valkyrie~]: Indeed

2014-05-18 [~Valkyrie~]: *Pokes a GM*

2014-05-27 [ancienteye]: ?

2014-05-27 [Flisky]: FIGGS! FIX YO DAMN POSTING! "Elizabeth Charms of Shana Tilar"!!! I've fixed it once myself.

</miniepisodething>

2014-05-27 [CuteCommander]: I once spent a magical weekend in Shana Tilar. Such sights to see...

2014-05-27 [Figgy]: Believe it or not, I copy and paste.

2014-05-27 [Flisky]: I know. That's why I fixed the one and figured you would copy from that and you did. Once. :P

2014-05-27 [CuteCommander]: Once my dongle arrives I can enjoy that pleasure again. Ctrl key, how I have missed you..

2014-05-30 [The Black Goat]: time to bring in vincent =D

2014-06-09 [The Black Goat]: Oh GMs... ;)

2014-06-09 [Figgy]: Thar

2014-07-01 [The Black Goat]: XD

2014-07-09 [The Past]: Echo! :D

2014-07-11 [Flisky]: So would he know who the MLA members were? (Like would it trip him out to see young Rook?)

2014-07-11 [The Black Goat]: XD

2014-07-12 [The Past]: Oooh >.> That is interesting... Would depend what part of the timeline he's from, and who's still alive in MLA since the theory of EoD was for everyone to eventually get killed.

2014-07-12 [Figgy]: Uhm... Echo is from like... ten years down the line AFTER EoD though... so I'm not sure he would know Rook.

I'm not sure everyone would have died in EoD..?

2014-07-12 [The Past]: One of the rules did say all characters WILL die, so I assume all of those that were being played in our timeline of EoD are dead by Echo's.

2014-07-12 [The Black Goat]: not all ;)

2014-07-12 [Figgy]: Yeah, didn't say ALL characters will die >_> Just that they will, in general.

2014-07-12 [Duredhel]: Echo is fun to post with :T

2014-07-12 [The Past]: He's fun to interact with.

2014-07-12 [Flisky]: Rook would have lived. Plotted it out that he had a really bad injury from Flame. In game anyway. If the fight with Flame never happened, then he would still be one of the front liners for the MLA.

2014-07-12 [The Past]: Got that now, however during the RP and with how it was worded, I was under the impression we had to plan a way to kill off our characters by the end of it.

Not to step on Dur's toes with Echo, but from what he and I talked about, Echo's timeline is from Flame/Mayhem having gone after and injuring Rook, as she's comatose.

2014-07-12 [Flisky]: So that did happen then?

2014-07-13 [The Past]: I'm going by that. So Rook would be down a hand? I can't remember what we agreed on.

2014-07-13 [Flisky]: Yes. That would have been an awesome fight. *kinda still wants to play that out*

2014-07-13 [The Past]: There's a lot I wish I had a chance to play out... one day maybe :)

2014-07-14 [Duredhel]: Echo is from like... 10 years into EoD future :> same timeline for the most part. Though by the time he became truly active in the war, it had already gone global and the EoD conflict itself is known as the "Battle of Manhattan".

2014-10-08 [Figgy]: Going to be nitpicky XD We have everyone ring the buzzer at the entrance, cause currently the mansion is equipped with deadly high security, so the AI, Danger, has to let people in otherwise she fries them 8>
