X-MEN KITCHEN 3RD

The kitchen on the third floor of the mansion is smaller and far more utilitarian than its counterpart on the first floor; its color scheme and decor is a little more modern in style. The walls and floor are tiled in analgous neutral greys and white for easy clean-up, and the room possesses all of the appropriate amenities, including stainless steel appliances, cabinets, painted a medium grey, and coordinating white-grey-and-black flecked Corian countertops. A few feet from the deep double sink stands a sizable side-by-side refrigerator set back into the wall, fit for supplying the students on the upper floors a space to keep their groceries. Across the room is a pantry, equal in its size for accommodation of dry goods. Over the sink and the length of counter extending on either side is a row of wood-framed windows that allow a lovely view of the pool, garden and wooded area beyond the immediate backyard of the estate. A table, large enough to fit eight people comfortably, sits just off center in the kitchen, though there are a couple extra chairs pushed out of the way and against the wall if they are needed.

X-Men Time

Monday, May 25th

Perched with only half of her butt on one of the chairs in the middle of the kitchen, a disheveled-looking Valerie sat in an uncharacteristic wide-legged manner while leaning forward onto the top of the table, holding a frozen bag of peas against the bottom half of her face. She stared wide-eyed and at nothing in particular, and with her free hand she idly toyed with the drinking straw sticking-out of a tall glass of orange juice. 'How are you feeling?' she eventually directed to Faro, pulling the peas away from her face to carefully form the words, or at least as well as her swollen, split bottom lip would allow her.

Faro was sporting her own swollen lip as well as a black eye. "Still trying to get the taste of ass out of my mouth," she said with a puffy smile. She reached a hand across the table to Val as her face adopted a more sombre visage. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. I can barely remember what happened after we put the film on."

Lifting the uninjured half of her mouth in a smile, Valerie set the bag of peas on the table and patted the top of Faro's hand with her icy-cold palm. 'Happens,' she said dismissively, giving a one-shouldered shrug. She said nothing else on the subject, as she didn't want to incriminate herself on her past drunken adventures, although it was possible that there were rumors floating around the school in regards to her Christmastime booze binge. 'We can just... take it easy the rest of the night, and stay away from swimming pools and spirits,' she added with a lame little laugh, and winced then gingerly touched her lip.

"That sounds good to me," Faro said with her own pained smile. She knew that she wouldn't be touching alcohol again for a while - she didn't think there'd be much of a hangover on its way, thanks to the Sprites she'd guzzled, but there was no denying it had majorly affected her behaviour.

With her half-cocked smile, Valerie nodded slightly and shifted a little in her seat. 'What are your plans for this week?' she suddenly inquired, her usually bright tone dampened a bit by the minor injury to her mouth, figuring that it wouldn't hurt to change the subject. 'I mean, like, barring any sudden missions, of course...' the dancer added with a tiny, airy laugh.

"I did half consider going to see my parents in New York but I might skip that," Faro said with a shrug before wincing at a sharp pain in her shoulder. "For now I'm thinking do a bit on some of my assignments and rest up. You really can throw a punch, y'know?"

'Well, you did get a little, you know... rowdy,'Valerie said, bowing her head slightly to look through her lashes at Faro, a half-smile lingering on her lips. 'So, like, The City, New York, right? It doesn't take too long to get down and back. You could totally just hop down for a day,' she said encouragingly after a beat. 'I'd visit my family all of the time, if they lived so close!'

Faro grinned back at her friend before shrugging at her suggestion. "I could, but don't want my mama fussing over me." Her eyes widened at a sudden thought. "Come with me! My family would welcome you with open arms. Not often they get to have a blonde to look over!"

'Ohhh, I wasn't fishing for an invitation!' Valerie said in a good-humored manner, smiling as best she could, her hands help up and out in front of her. 'I mean, I, like, wouldn't say no to a trip into the city. It'll be warmer than the last time I went, anyway.' Pausing she laughed a little bit, then asked, 'Whereabouts do they live? I've only really been to Manhattan for shows and stuff.'

Faro let out a loud, full-gutted laugh. "I didn't consider you were fishing for a second." Her laugh subsided to a giggly smile. "It's what Hollywood like to call The Bronx. Italian-Americans everywhere saying 'Fagettabou'dit'." She pursed her lips and made the stereotypical pinched hand gesture.

Producing something between a charming snort and a laugh at Faro's caricature,Valerie quickly covered her mouth but winced when she put pressure on her sore lip. 'Great, that's all I need to hear in my head when I meet your family.' She shook her head and gave a self-deprecating half-smile. 'It's a date, then. I can drive, if you'd like; just tell me when!' With that, the blonde punctuated her sentence with a sip of lemonade.

Again, Nadine found herself surprised by the presence of other people at a time that she would normally be in bed. Did everyone stay up late here? She’d seen Valerie around, but hadn’t talked too much to the older girl, but it took her a moment to realize that the other girl had been the one from the pool earlier. A slight heat rushed to the girl’s cheeks, still embarrassed for Faro. I probably shouldn’t bring that up. She chided herself as she stepped further into the room and gave the two a shy glance. “Hi..” After her tentative greeting, Nadine then wondered if she was interrupting and being rude, however it was too late to take it back. She made her way to the fridge, feeling like she was intruding despite this being a public space, and began absent mindedly scanning its contents, hoping to see something she could put together quick.

Faro was about to tell Valerie when would be the best day to travel down when Nadine popped in. "If you see any cokes in there," she said to the younger mutant's back, "you mind grabbing me one?" She didn't know the girl, but being a bit older she didn't feel any problems with starting up conversations with the younger kids at the Academy.

As she was waiting for a response from Faro, Valerie put the bag of frozen peas against her fat lip again, even though the package had since started to thaw. With a half wince, half smile, the blonde set the bag back on the table and greeted Nadine after the girl's timid acknowledgement. 'Whatcha up to tonight, Nadine?' Her eyes twinkled with the gentle, lopsided smile the dancer wore upon her face as she glanced over to Faro, then back to the youngest mutant in the room.

There was a few moments, when Faro spoke, in which Nadine had lifted her head to stare at the older girl, blinking with brief incomprehension before it dawned on her that she was indeed being spoken to. “Oh.. no, I mean- I don’t mind. I’ll check.” She ducked back down, embarrassed by the delay in her response and began searching the fridge for the requested item. After a moment she straightened, the can pinched between her middle finger and her thumb, and shut the fridge before bringing it over to Faro, all while giving it an almost suspicious look. Nadine wasn’t quite certain that she wouldn’t cause it to freeze and explode like she had in the past because, while it’d been awhile since she lost control like that, the earlier pool debacle had not helped her confidence. After gingerly setting it down in front of Faro with a smile (really just glad nothing happened to it on the way), she noticed Valerie’s lip and melting, make-shift ice pack. “Ouch, what happened?” The girl asked without thinking, her eyes going wide, then offered an apologetic look. “I just woke up; I guess I missed the party and everything.” She tried not to sound too sad about it, but couldn’t quite manage to keep the self-pitying note from her voice. The girl rebounded quickly though, adding cheerily: “What about you guys?”

At that time the door swung open. "Do you intend to follow me around for the entirety of the day?" Mark complained over his shoulder. The slight annoyance in his voice was only outweighed by the rumble in his stomach. "I was convinced you were a hallucination brought on by sun stroke at first."

Liz followed close behind Mark and chuckled at what she thought was a failed attempt at being annoyed. "Well, you are the only person that radiates enough energy for me to use in order to stay physical without using my own power. So yes, I'll probably follow you forever now. Besides, you are interesting and so far the only person not to freak out at my sudden appearances or slight ghostly see throughness." She stopped suddenly after noticing that the kitchen was full of several people. "Uhh, hi everyone." she said nervously.

Opening the can one-handed, Faro gave Nadine a quick wink in thanks before taking a good slurp of the soda. "Oh, uh, we kinda ended up doing our own thing," she said while giving Val a conspitorial smile. As Mark and Liz came in she raised her can over her head and let out a loud 'WHOOP!' "Looks like the party's coming to us!" She gave Mark a mock serious look. "What brings you to our den, man-thing? Come to take our innocence?"

Fortunately, Faro helped to circumvent the issue of explaining to Nadine exactly why she and Valerie looked a little like they had gotten into a fist fight when the feisty woman suddenly-- and rather bawdily-- changed the subject after Mark and Liz entered the kitchen. It did seem rather strange for the boy to go out of his way to come to the third floor kitchen, but the blonde wouldn't say word one about that, and instead swatted at Faro with her free hand. 'There's a whole summer to have pool parties,' she said placatingly, drawing her eyes from the older mutant to Nadine, and smiled brightly before glancing back in the newcomers' direction. 'Hiya!' she said simply by way of greeting to the ghostly girl.

Nadine, being of the easily unnerved type and consistently worried about offending anyone, was made more than a little uncomfortable by the company of the strange looking boy in the wheelchair and his ghostly tag-along. When she saw them she dropped her eyes, immediately wondering if they thought she’d be staring if she looked, then finding herself in the dilemma of also not wanting to appear rude by not saying hello. The girl lifted her head, gave the pair a not entirely convincing smile and said: “hi” in a voice that may not have been loud enough for them to hear. After this she promptly returned her attention back to Valerie and Faro, only for her cheeks and ears to turn a bright red at Faro’s teasing. “Oh, yeah, I guess.” She replied half-heartedly to Valerie, still trying to sort out what exactly Faro meant by what she said to Mark and unable to discern if it was mean or not. She was saved by the sudden vibration of her back pocket, only to discover that it was her brother calling her. The girl stiffened, bit her lip, and thought about answering before realizing it was already after her bed time- which meant she should be asleep and not answering the phone. Nervously and guiltily she set her phone on mute and slid it back into her pocket, feeling as if he’d somehow know even though she was on the whole other side of the country from him.

"Hmmph, just my luck, an ethereal leach." Mark was not conditioned to respond to such a large crowd, he had honestly just come up here to search the kitchen in peace. He resisted the urge to spin around and leave the room without a word to the three. "Salutations, there was nothing worthwhile in the second floor kitchen, ergo i came to examine what was hidden away up here. Also it appears i have acquired a specter like companion." He approached the fridge and leaned out to pull it open, retrieved a bag of baby carrots from the back. Well it is better than all the processed sugars and trash downstairs. "Entertaining show down by the poolside today." He added to Faro, not as a way to embarrass her, he simply sucked at normal human interactions.

"What do you mean 'leach'?" Asked Liz. "We talked about this earlier when I first explained how I'm able to stay here for much longer than usual thanks to your reactor core, and it didn't seem like you really cared much. So now its an issue?" She knew he didn't like conflict or drama, much less interacting with anyone but she just had to do something to make him squirm. She hadn't been able to tease or mess with someone in such a long time and he made it very easy. "So I guess if I'm such an issue, I'll just go back to my boring little realm and wait another month for my energy to return enough to materialize again on my own." She then bent down near is ear, just close enough for it to be uncomfortable to most people and whispered loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. "Just remember I'll always be near you, and watching you. No matter where you are." She smiled mischievously and quickly faded into nothing.

Faro kept quiet until Liz had faded out of sight before giggling. "Well, mister, looks like you're gonna have a peeping tom watching you when you shower." She turned to Valerie and added, "That's an ability I wouldn't mind having," before flashing Mark a cheeky wink.

Observing Nadine for a moment, Valerie took a careful sip of her lemonade in the meanwhile. The blonde was unsure quite what to make of the quiet, younger, brown-haired student, but she smiled as best as she could, anyway, when the girl replied then got distracted by her telephone. 'I think I heard people talking about campfires by the lake, ' Val offered in what she hoped was a helpful, encouraging manner. Catching Faro's glance from the corner of her eye, looked sidelong at her friend and shook her head slightly, flicked her eyes in Mark's-- and Liz's former-- direction and shook her head again. 'People get arrested for that, you know,' she commented lightly, trying to look serious, although an amused smile played at the corner of her lips, as if she couldn't quite help it.

Having been preoccupied with her phone, Nadine missed most of the conversation going on around her, but did manage to catch Faro’s ”-a peeping tom watching you when you shower.” Her eyes snapped to the older girl, wide and startled. “What?” She said, not realizing that it had been a joke at first. Luckily for her, Valerie caught her attention, distracting her momentarily from the confusing conversation. “Oh- oh they were?” She replied, looking hopeful again. “Do you think there are people already out there?” There was lingering guilt that she might go hang out with the older kids after curfew, but it wasn’t enough to quell her eagerness to get to experience a real party. After a moment, Nadine paused, wondering if she needed to be invited or if anyone could go. Maybe if Valerie and Faro were going she could just tag along. Of course, it would be rude to ask. If they offered it would be much better. “Are you guys going to go?” She then shyly asked with the hope that Valerie would invite her along if they were.

Mark sighed. "Liz, come back, i was attempting sarcasm." He rolled his eyes from her moody disappearance. He attention turned back to Faro, "Doesnt seem out of character, though a skinny pale guy is much to look at i suppose." He tried some self depreciating humor. "But then again the twilight series made a substantial amount of money."

"Illegal schmillegal," Faro retorted to Valerie. She gave Mark an out-of-character warm smile and tilted her head to one side. "You're not so bad, especially in this madhouse." She then turned her attention to Nadine's question and considered it for a moment. Her eyes lingered on the fat lip she'd given Valerie, and her mind went to the pool fiasco earlier in the day. Still... "We might be persuaded. Just don't let me drink... too much." With that she let out a giggle.

Shaking her head slightly, Valerie rolled her eyes in a joking and exaggerated manner away from Faro upon her response, and toward Mark. She said nothing, however, until Faro replied to Nadine; Val's eyes widened slightly and she gave an airy, somewhat nervous laugh at the older mutant's reply. 'Yeah, I guess we could, like, maybe go down for a little bit,' the blonde said, although she didn't sound entirely convinced, in light of the tussle she'd gotten into not too long ago. Still, Valerie smiled with the good half of her mouth, a wincing little expression, and laughed lightly again. 'Maybe they're playing games or something,' she added, hoping to emphasize something else besides alcohol as entertainment.

Well, that sounded kind of like they would go if she was going, which made Nadine relax a little. The youngest of the girls offered Mark a half-hearted smile at his joke, even though she didn’t really get the reference and wasn’t comfortable with him making fun at himself. Really she just wasn’t sure how to respond to it, feeling bad for him because he was kind of sick and in a wheelchair, so she stayed quiet and hoped the ghost girl wasn’t going to show up again because she had a hard time knowing what to say or not to say around her. She felt guilty for feeling that way, because she knew it wasn’t nice of her to not want to be around people with differences just because they made her uncomfortable, but then again she wasn’t sure she could make herself not feel that way. Brushing all this aside, she bit her lip, then quietly responded: “I’d really like to go, if that’s okay.” and quickly followed it with, “Mark are you going to come too?” so he didn’t feel left out.

Outside, around a fire a night? That sounds so unappealing. But i suppose ill never get to see Dr. McCoys research if i dont gain some trust among these simpletons. Mark tried his best smile, it still came off awkward. "I could enjoy the night air i suppose." He righted his chair as he wondered if Liz was going to reappear.

"Awesome!" Faro said as she slid off the counter stool backwards and gave Val's sensitive behind a light spank. "You're so gonna have to help me pants that Cajun stud. If he's seen the ladies," she paused to give her chest a little shake, "the least he can do is show some sausage." She gave Nadine a wink. "You in?"

'The more, the merrier!' Valerie chirped when Mark replied to Nadine that he'd come along, too. She didn't realized what Faro was doing until it was too late, as her attention was focused on the other two students in the room, and she leapt to her feet and covered the sore spot on her backside with her hands to try and avoid being hit. With one eyebrow quirked, she cast Faro a brief look and repeated the words ...pants the Cajun? under her breath, then almost immediately groaned, 'Ohhhh, Farroooo! Nothing's going to be, like... gained by... and she's just a kid!' she added, even though she wasn't really sure how old Nadine actually was.

Such a crass girl, what pleasure is there in the view of genitalia? Mark swallowed his urge to stare dumbfoundedly at Faro. He faced his chair toward the door choosing to leave last if given the chance. "Well then, ill aim for some fresh air while you ladies are on operation pants dropper."

Nadine was right there with Mark. As soon as the girl realized that Faro was talking about Mr. Chastain, she flushed crimson and her eyes widened dramatically. "You mean- oh! No, we can't, I mean- I can't.." She stuttered, shaking her head back and forth so quickly that it almost undid her bun. Thank goodness that Valerie immediately replied in the negative, even if she referred to Nadine as a kid. I'm not a kid, I'm fifteen now... but compared to them she guessed she kind of was, and if it kept Faro from roping her into her plans to pants Rene- oh gosh what if she does and I see! At that thought she turned an even darker shade of red and it didn't help when Mark chipped in. "No! I'm not!"

Faro put on her best pout for the rest of them. "Spoil sports!" but followed it with a wink. Let them keep guessing as to what she might do. The truth was, she felt far too embarrassed to be anywhere near Rene tonight or even for the next few weeks. It was a miracle she was preparing to show her face at a social gathering in the same day. Who knew how many people down at the lake party had seen her exposed? And despite how revealing her clothing usually was, she'd never shown off that much of herself to even one person. Hiding these thoughts from the rest in the kitchen, she turned and headed out to X-Men Center 3rd.

'Wouldn't, like...' Valerie paused, trying to think of some alternative to continuing the little dispute, '... wouldn't, like, an evening dip in the lake be nice? Maybe some s'mores afterwards?' she finally proposed, but Faro was already heading out of the room. 'And just wrap-up by the fire?' she suggested with a hopeful smile to Nadine and Mark, since they were the only two left in the kitchen. 'See you down there?' the blonde inquired after taking her glass to the dishwasher, and although she didn't really wait for a response, she smiled at the other two students and slipped through the doorway after Faro.

With naught more than an eyeroll Mark joined his new companions as his chair rolled out to X-Men Center 3rd.

Nadine was just grateful that Faro had dropped it and was more than happy to follow the others out of the kitchen to the X-Men Center 3rd.

2010-09-26 [Veltzeh]: Remember apostrophes! :o They come in between contractions like I'm (I am), you're (you are), hadn't (had not), it's (it is or it has) or would've (would have). Apostrophes are not found in words like my, hers, your or ours.

2010-09-27 [La Luna]: of course :D

2010-09-27 [La Luna]: hey vicious did jacob die or something :P jk

2010-09-27 [Veltzeh]: You missed one "you're". X)

2010-09-27 [Mrs Vicious.]: Hey Luna no he didn't :p jk. I'm busy OK? ergh.

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: sorry :( about Jacob and the you're ill fix it tomorrow ;)

2010-09-28 [Veltzeh]: You could've fixed it in half the time it took to write that comment, though. :P

2010-09-28 [La Luna]: haha sorry!

2010-09-29 [Duredhel]: Uhhm... guess I waited enough for a response from Jacob, I'll just go and post.

2010-09-29 [Mrs Vicious.]: what did you ask Jacob? Ill post for him now,just been caught up applying for jobs.

2010-09-30 [Veltzeh]: People currently in the kitchen: Jacob, Shana, Daniela.
[Mrs Vicious.]: you missed an apostrophe from a contraction again.

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: ...... poop.

2010-09-30 [XxTsomexX]: I am confused, what is with the underlining?

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: I think its for when you use your powers... I dunno.

2010-09-30 [Figgy]: To emphasize important things that should be noticed.

2010-09-30 [XxTsomexX]: Oh... I was getting wicked confused with it. Sorry ^^ lol

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: oh... I thought it was just for powers.

2010-09-30 [Figgy]: Nope, it's for important stuff.

2010-09-30 [Duredhel]: Well because posts can get pretty extensive (yay!), or when there's a ton of characters at once, people can miss stuff when reacting. So if there's anything you really want other characters to notice, or keep other players from missing, you underline it :3.

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: ahhhh... question what is Daniela on about?

2010-09-30 [Duredhel]: Uhm? what do you mean?

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: Something about not getting pictures, this bit:she said, figuring the new kids had not gotten the pictures and she wasn't about to point them out to him. whats that about? I dont get it.

2010-09-30 [Duredhel]: She didn't say that :3, its not in quotes, its not dialogue. Its about the events at the third floor lounge the night before tho.

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: I know she didnt say it, just got confused by it is all.

2010-09-30 [Duredhel]: Ah :3 well the day before the girls had a PJ party on the lounge, they ended up getting drunk and doing dares. Dani and Shana were dared to make out, they did and Light took pictures, forwarding them to everyone in the mansion. You can check it out on the history page for the Lounge :3

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: ahhh okies. thats what happened.

2010-09-30 [Duredhel]: Mhm, Dani is just glad she ran into someone who hasn't seen a picture of her and her roommate making out.

2010-09-30 [Veltzeh]: Seriously, "I'm" (I am) has an apostrophe!

2010-09-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: no shit. *salutes* thank you for pointing it out.

2010-10-01 [Mrs Vicious.]: is their a reason why Daniela is repeating herself?

2010-10-01 [Duredhel]: their what? O,o

Uhhm... well Dani is just apologizing for Shana as she snaps at Jacob.

2010-10-01 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeahhh but he knows they had a rough night and she's already said Shana's alot nicer... *shrugs*

2010-10-01 [Duredhel]: And you said Dani was repeating herself, and now you said it again :3
see? people repeat things.

2010-10-01 [Mrs Vicious.]: right.

2010-10-03 [Mrs Vicious.]: Jan shorts? is that a make?

2010-10-03 [La Luna]: gah!

2010-10-04 [The Past]: I was going to wait for more added, but I'm too impatient XD

2010-10-04 [Figgy]: Sorry, seems as if I was holding it up. I've been kinda busy. >.<

2010-10-05 [Duredhel]: Posted :D, sorry guys, been kinda busy too :3.

2010-10-05 [The Past]: That's ok ^_^ Life has a way of being like that heh

2010-10-05 [Roma]: XD Yesssss, make the new ones afraid of her already. XD

2010-10-05 [Veltzeh]: Haaaave. :o

2010-10-05 [The Past]: I think it's just make the new ones afraid of everyone there XD

Sigh, this would be the time Click would try and bribe them to leave the house, just for the fun of it and to see if they really would XD

2010-10-05 [Roma]: You know, if you're so interested in bringing him back, poke the plottage page about it! I'm sure Figgy, Dur, and I could brainstorm a fun way for it to fit into the ploooooooot. ;)

2010-10-05 [Mrs Vicious.]: I dont really see how making the new kids afraid of anyone is going to be helpful, fun probably, but not helpful, specially if they have to work together on a mission or something. what use are they going to be if they're afraid of the person on the same team?

2010-10-05 [Duredhel]: It would make for good roleplaying.

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: its to make things funner

2010-10-05 [Roma]: Are we really going through this again, Vicious? Its a little thing called character development. Have you ever watched a movie where everyone at the beginning got along, stayed getting along throughout the plot, and then concluded with them in the same regard for one another as they had at the very beginning? NO. Why? Because that's some boring-ass bullshit. Creating drama not only is interesting and encourages good roleplaying (not to mention character development), but enhances the sense of reality. Do you not remember high school? Yeah. I'm pretty sure the seniors didn't give two shits about you when you were a freshman.

Welcome to 9th grade. Now hush. :3

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: :) i loved 9th grade

2010-10-05 [Veltzeh]: [La Luna]: Remember to write a space before the left quotation mark: "like this."

2010-10-05 [Veltzeh]: And also after the left quotation mark! X)

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: gah stupid grammer

2010-10-05 [Duredhel]: Not only grammer, spolling is kind of funky too.

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: spolling??

2010-10-05 [Mrs Vicious.]: I was just saying... *munches on an apple* As for Seniors, I was taller than most of them and stronger too. Welsh people tend to be on the short side and a bit scrawny too.

2010-10-05 [Figgy]: I have to agree with Roms here (Of course I wouldn't dream of not agreeing with her). This is the third time it has been brought up about the characters being mean or scary, the second time you have. Each time we always explain that it's character development and not to take it so personally.

So that's just what it is.

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: and its fun to make different opinions of people of they were all the same imagine how boring that would be?

2010-10-05 [Duredhel]: You kind of missed the point there Vicious. What Roms is trying to say is that its the change in the status quo from what is called an "initial equilibrium" to a "final equilibrium" is what makes a story. Drama, Tragedy, Comedy, Horror, all genres are predicated upon transformation and change. I don't know what kind of RPing experience you had before, but these are basic facets of storytelling we try to apply here. Its good that the new kids find Flame scary (though I don't know if any of the new kids are being RPed well enough to achieve that), because that way they can grow to trust her later, meaning a change and character development.

2010-10-05 [Mrs Vicious.]: At what point did I take it personally, Im just saying my opinion is all. psh you guys can do whatever you want, you run the game, Im just saying. *shrugs* Character development and all that. Not saying anythin otherwise. At no point did I not understand what Roma was saying, I get it... character development,drama drama drama. As for finding Flame scary, she has scales and is slightly mean and looks like she got worked over pretty well by Korvka's plants. Battered tired and grouchy yes, scary not so much.

2010-10-05 [Flisky]: Heck, my characters don't even like each other, and I don't think Dur's do, either. That's the beauty of it.

2010-10-05 [Figgy]: Mine don't either! They already tried to kill each other! >.>
AND they are sisters!

2010-10-05 [La Luna]: Gosh this place is so messed up...I love it. :)

2010-10-05 [Duredhel]: Hhaha XD my characters hate each others guts. Dani was scared of Flame when she was new, now she isn't anymore, but she still doesn't quite like her. She feels kind of crappy about not liking her because she thinks she may be hung up on the way Flame looks. I like exploring the psyche and motivations of my chars like that :< give them some more depth and keep me from trying to live vicariously through them, which is the bane of any RPer.

2010-10-05 [Roma]: Pity party, table of one? Pity party, table of one.

:P

2010-10-06 [The Past]: Flame's not scary? O.o she covered in damn red scales and when she hasn't groomed she bascially has claws and pointed teeth XD. Hell, people are scared of Kurt in the comics and he's just a fuzz ball :3
BUT THEN AGAIN, at this point in time, I don't really care. I find it a little weird that sometimes the younger kids (especially if they are new to the whole mutant thing) aren't a bit wide eyed at the whole house (considering who lives there. BUT again, don't care, it's after work and all I really want to do is put my feet up with a drink of something strong, which sadly, I don't have in the house :(

2010-10-06 [Roma]: Aaaaand this is why everyone needs to take a jaunt over to the X-Men Characters page and brush up on the other mutants. Flame is half naked, mentioned trails of injured students (which she's done before when Dani, White, and some of the NOW more established players were new so its clearly part of what she does - FYI), covered in scales with sharp teeth, killer claws, and mentioned someone trying to stab her with plants. And her shirt is covered in blood.

If Korvka hadn't shared a bed with her/tried to stab her with plants, she'd be scared. XD

2010-10-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: mkay.

2010-10-06 [Flisky]: Hey, at least Mihir is having a normal, human-ish reaction to the physical mutations. But he's in the wrong kitchen to see Flame... ^_^

2010-10-06 [Roma]: For real, Flisky. And people should be having reactions to Mihir as well since he's got the weird hair and looks like he's tumbled right out of Jungle2Jungle XD

2010-10-06 [Flisky]: I know. Nobody reads character bios anymore. :P

2010-10-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: jungle2jungle?

2010-10-06 [Roma]: Google it. Lamest Disney movie ever made.

2010-10-06 [Figgy]: MIMI-SIKU!

2010-10-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: ... oh shit yeah!!!

2010-10-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: it was kinda crap. loved the tarantula though.

2010-10-07 [Priest Kel]: Just for the record: Flame doesn't have horns...at least I don't think so.
UPDATE: Just checked, she doesn't have horns

2010-10-07 [The Past]: None visable while dressed at least >D

2010-10-07 [The Past]: Also, Flame's nails are short at the moment (only an inch or so long) so not at talon length just, just to be known ^_^

2010-10-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Better?

2010-10-07 [Ms. Steel]: For some reason, I always picture Flame with a tail. Just can't get that out of my pea brain.

2010-10-07 [The Past]: XD don't tempt me to make her more mutant-y

2010-10-07 [Flisky]: No stealing the tail thing! ^_^

2010-10-07 [Ms. Steel]: I almost gave Kyle a prehensile tail, but I'm glad I didn't now that we have Mr. Tentacles and Addy!

2010-10-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Flisk I dont think you can coppy right the tail.

2010-10-07 [Flisky]: I'm not. *mutters* Wish I could, though.

2010-10-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: youd have to sue every baby lizard born.

2010-10-07 [Flisky]: Heehee. That sounds like so much fun, though.

2010-10-10 [Veltzeh]: Haaaaave.

2010-10-10 [Mrs Vicious.]: have?

2010-10-10 [Veltzeh]: Aimed at [The Past]... :P

2010-10-11 [Priest Kel]: I don't think that dialogue, whether internal or external, need to be grammatically correct for it to work within the story

2010-10-11 [The Past]: I'm sorry, what did I miss? O.o 'should HAVE stayed' Zeh? In my defense, I did pick up the other 'of' I almost put in the piece, but was rather tired when I wrote this ^_^;; Will fix that one, sure there is more... and sure you will point them out still :)

2010-10-11 [Veltzeh]: Yay!
[Priest Kel]: Well, the more important effect is that I can read it now. X)

2010-10-12 [The Past]: Zeh and I have an agreement u.u I f*ck up, ey help me correct it :3

2010-10-14 [The Past]: Sorry for Flame being in semi limbo, I am just exhausted this week for some reason, I have no extra energy to burn in RP -.- If someone comes into the kitchen I will of course keep up the rp, but at the moment, I just need a rest so thus limbo.

2010-12-25 [Roma]: -twiddles thumbs and whistles-

2010-12-25 [Figgy]: I'mma get to it, tonight ifinks... holidays be rough.

2010-12-25 [Figgy]: I know that's a really crappy post, but I'm too tired to do much better right now. So, sorry about that.

2010-12-25 [Roma]: Merry Christmas, Figgy. :D

2010-12-25 [Figgy]: Merry Christmas, Roms ^^

2010-12-25 [Mrs Vicious.]: MERRY CRIMBO EVERYONE!

2010-12-26 [Priest Kel]: Bah Humbug!

2011-01-05 [Mrs Vicious.]: SOOOO sorry, having net issues still, bloody phone lines are broken and down in some places so getting internet is iffy.

2011-01-07 [Roma]: Mrs Vicious - except, you're

2011-01-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Thank you.

2011-01-12 [Veltzeh]: Bromance is a great neo-word, by the way. XD

2011-01-12 [Roma]: I so rarely get to use it and pounced on the chance. :P

2011-01-17 [Roma]: So should I wait for the phone call? XD

2011-01-17 [Flisky]: I have to head home in five minutes. So whatever you choose.

2011-01-19 [Flisky]: I'm loving this scene.

2011-01-20 [Priest Kel]: Michael is gonna hate Mihir lol

2011-01-20 [Flisky]: Hey, he's only speaking the truth. ^_^ And teasing a bit.

2011-01-20 [Priest Kel]: He is still going to want to kill him

2011-01-20 [Roma]: Mihir won't react to Korvka's comments to him?

2011-01-20 [Flisky]: Oops. Crap. I missed that.

2011-02-04 [Veltzeh]: Argh, a wall!

2011-02-04 [Figgy]: Suck it, Veltz!

2011-02-04 [Veltzeh]: Uh, what?

2011-02-04 [Figgy]: Slang. :>

2011-02-04 [Veltzeh]: So... it's not an insult or anything?

2011-02-04 [Figgy]: Well I was telling you to suck my theoretical dick (all in good fun, of course), so I guess it's really up to you whether it's an insult or not :O
It wasn't intended to be, if that means anything.

2011-02-04 [Veltzeh]: Well, the intention is all that means anything technically.

2011-02-04 [Figgy]: Good! :3

2011-04-27 [Danboo]: whoo hoo all by my self!

2011-04-28 [Figgy]: Hey, try to get this finished today, please. Trying to get stuff wrapped up so we can do a day-change by tonight.

2011-04-29 [Danboo]: ok

2011-05-02 [Duredhel]: People who edit while other people are posting will be steamrolled >,>

2011-05-02 [Danboo]: what happened to my post?

2011-05-02 [Danboo]: i go to the past page and its still there, did someone delete it? see http://elftown.eu/wiki.html?version=1815&name=X-Men+Kitchen+3rd

2011-05-02 [Danboo]: well I'm guessing someone deleted it so i'm going to put it back where i had originally posted, unless thats a problem?

2011-05-02 [Danboo]: velts my post was before yours,and does anyone know how mine got deleted earlier?

2011-05-02 [Veltzeh]: When someone edits the page, it will lock and others can't edit it. However, if 10 minutes go by, the lock releases and others can edit again. This can create a situation where two people are editing the same version. The first person to submit creates a page that has the original content plus the first person's post. Then the second person submits and creates a page that has the original content and second person's post but NOT the first one's, because it happened between the start of the second person's edit and submission.

Therefore: Write your posts in Notepad or something and only edit to paste the post on the page! Works much better plus there's a backup of your post. :)

2011-05-03 [Figgy]: Or just be sure you copy it before posting.

2011-05-03 [Danboo]: I don't have to write it in notepad, I can just go to the page history and it'll tell me what I posted, like I did, and I wasn't on for ten minutes, not for a little post like that, well I didn't think i was, maybe I'm losing track of time...

2011-05-03 [Danboo]: and i never knew of that little situation.. elftown has changed a lot since i joined.. Thank you for the explanation Veltzeh

ps. daniella's comment is missing a word i think, or i'm not reading it correctly, (Then she figured it was a bit too much to be in such a crowded (should place be right here?) right now)

2011-05-03 [Figgy]: Duredhel was posting when you posted, so when he posted (after you) he knocked your post off.

2011-05-03 [Veltzeh]: It's still a good idea to use Notepad (or copy the post before submitting) because sometimes Elftown just says that a new version was posted while you were editing and then the post is totally lost. (I'm not sure about the logic behind getting the error and being able to post nevertheless, so it could be that only one of those happens depending on what version of Elftown Hedda has going. :P) Another advantage of using Notepad is that you won't lock the page for long, giving other people time to post.

2011-05-03 [XxTsomexX]: ;__; Endelyn's attempts are feeble.

2011-05-03 [Roma]: Haha, oh man. I am enjoying this thoroughly.

2011-05-03 [Figgy]: ;) good

2011-05-04 [Figgy]: Soo... whose turn is it?

2011-05-04 [Danboo]: mine and done.I'm trying to incorporate more of his accent into my rp, but I don't know if I'm doing this right..

2011-05-04 [Roma]: Just kep trying things out. I dig it

2011-05-04 [Danboo]: oops, forgot the comma after virgil,whom XD. and thanks mon

2011-05-04 [Danboo]: and they changed the part where it says whose currently editing the page on et? when did they do that?

2011-05-05 [Roma]: Camille :O

2011-05-05 [Figgy]: Yes, yes, I will post with her momentarily :3

2011-05-05 [Figgy]: Sooo.... whose turn is it now? :3

2011-05-05 [Roma]: Virgil, then Vlad

2011-05-05 [Danboo]: er.. i kinda got blown off by camille XD and I saw a mistake in my previous turn so I corrected that

2011-05-06 [Danboo]: Frankenstein's creature you mean..

2011-05-06 [Roma]: Vlad's not exactly book learned. He just knows the green guy.

2011-05-06 [The Past]: Actually in the book, Frankenstein's monster is yellow u.u

2011-05-06 [Danboo]: jaundiced?

2011-05-06 [Figgy]: I think what Roms means is that Vlad just knows the stereotyped Frankenstein's monster, which is a big green guy that has bolts in his neck and walks around moaning. :/

2011-05-06 [Roma]: Exactly. Very Scooby Doo

2011-05-06 [The Past]: I got that :3 just saying he is yellow u.u (just found that out myself the other day :B so making the most of the new knowledge XD)

2011-05-06 [Danboo]: of course most people think he's green cause of the 1933 movie and it just kinda stuck

2011-05-06 [Danboo]: soon... the microwave will go off, 2 more posts ought to be enough

2011-05-07 [Veltzeh]: I could do a little idea-combining... and recalled this professor of molecular biology: http://suomenkuvalehti.fi/jutut/ulkomaat/howard-jacobs-henkilokuvassa-vuoden-professori-punkkari-ja-suomi-fani (the picture is the important part).

2011-05-07 [Danboo]: this would be crazy http://www.omniglot.com/writing/jamaican.php
lol but i'm just gonna stick with accents and not patois

2011-05-07 [Roma]: Flame :O

2011-05-07 [Veltzeh]: We're alllll in different time zones!

2011-05-07 [Danboo]: I'm an insomniac, so there really is no such thing as time zone for me XP

2011-05-07 [Roma]: I know. Just leaving her a friendly little nudge XD

[Danboo] what does he mean by "it irie?" That doesn't read like anything I would understand.

2011-05-07 [Danboo]: its a Jamaican word, here this will help you out
http://www.ehow.com/how_2156029_speak-jamaican-accent.html

2011-05-07 [Roma]: Helpful, but it's still your job as the writer to portray it in a way that is clear and makes sense

2011-05-07 [Danboo]: unless it is intentional..

2011-05-07 [The Past]: O.O Wwwwhhhhaaaattttt?

2011-05-09 [Duredhel]: Flame, this, now - http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/user/3/38752-157299-mimjpg-620x.jpg

2011-05-09 [The Past]: HA! XD

2011-05-09 [Veltzeh]: Fiiiiix.

2011-05-09 [Roma]: :O I am awarding 10 points for shameless vintage Disney. Mad Madam Mim was my fave XD

2011-05-16 [Veltzeh]: Dang, I don't know what to do with Kaider for the moment. X)

2011-05-16 [Flisky]: Mihir is currently loitering in the center hall. :P (I have nowhere for him to go, either.)

2011-05-16 [Veltzeh]: Maybe he could peep in for a snack and then they can think of something to do?

2011-05-16 [Flisky]: That sounds like a plan.

2011-05-16 [La Luna]: Maybe Maggie can bring Lynn her since the girl is pretty much in her charge and she hasn't had breakfast?

2011-05-16 [Flisky]: *snorts with laughter* Mihir's either going to punch Squid or spit out his crackers. Can't decide which.

2011-05-17 [Veltzeh]: What's Squanto, or is this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squanto all there is to it?

2011-05-17 [Veltzeh]: (I have no idea how Kaider should react to it. :P)

2011-05-17 [Flisky]: This is a better definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squanto

2011-05-17 [Veltzeh]: Oh... hmm.

2011-05-18 [Roma]: past tense of sink is sunk.

2011-05-18 [La Luna]: Oh, I never got that DX thanks

2011-05-19 [Duredhel]: Yeah she is, she totally is >,>

2011-05-19 [La Luna]: She is not! There a perfectly good reasons and he bumped into her first! XP Okay fine....just a little bit

2011-05-23 [Veltzeh]: Prod!

2011-05-23 [Flisky]: Uh...Squid?

2011-05-23 [Duredhel]: Ah, sorry guys, Figgy has been terribly busy with work this weekend. Kel actually got in touch with her during the weekend and he's going to be taking time off the RP to handle some real life issues. We'll be taking his chars to their rooms shortly, in the meantime, please continue without him.

2011-05-23 [Flisky]: Okays.

2011-05-25 [Flisky]: Sorry, short lame post is short and lame.

2011-05-26 [Duredhel]: That's like Germans liking Indiana Jones movies XD

2011-05-26 [Flisky]: I know, right? But there are some really good John Wayne movies that don't belittle Native Americans at all. :)

2011-06-08 [Figgy]: Whoah, dude, I'm black, tone it down on the racial comments.

2011-06-08 [Duredhel]: Figgy is a reverse oreo.

2011-06-08 [Figgy]: SHHHHHHHHHHH!!

2011-06-08 [Duredhel]: no :>

2011-06-08 [Ms. Steel]: But... I thought we were all pink on the inside.

2011-06-09 [twitchboy]: its the only thing i can think of without jumping to a ghost costume cause my char doesnt know its Halloween but thats the last one
