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.

2009-12-23 [Roma]: Oh shit, Korvka is like...a terrible cook. She can fry things up and sautee but hell, she's not very good at it.

2009-12-23 [Flisky]: Um...Roma...I think you used the wrong name.

2009-12-23 [Roma]: I DID! It's changed, sorreh T_T

2009-12-23 [Flisky]: Heehee.

2010-01-12 [Flisky]: Note to self: edit later.

2010-01-13 [Roma]: Edit what?

2010-01-14 [Flisky]: The page. ^_^

2010-01-14 [Roma]: What needs editing?

2010-01-15 [Flisky]: I keep forgetting to post. :P

So I need to remind myself.

2010-01-15 [Veltzeh]: Okay, people, try to start getting your characters to bed so that we can jump to in-game tomorrow where I actually have some plot to execute! No real hurry though, so if you have some scene still to be played, no need to interrupt those.

2010-01-20 [Sturmi]: GO TO SLEEP! lol

2010-01-24 [Roma]: Can I make this page smaller? We need to wipe it clean for a new day. I'll make the archive page...or will someone do it? Scrolling that far is driving me crazy XP

2010-01-24 [Sturmi]: sure. Lets create the Kitchen history 1 wiki or something.

2010-01-24 [Roma]: X-Men Kitchen 3rd Hist1

2010-01-27 [Figgy]: I'm gonna wait a few posts before Shana actually comes in the kitchen, haha..

2010-01-28 [The Past]: Hey Zeh, you still alive out there?

2010-01-28 [Veltzeh]: I'm having serious motivation issues. D:

2010-01-28 [Roma]: Why is that, Vel?

2010-01-29 [The Past]: Aw! *hugs for Zeh!*

2010-01-29 [Veltzeh]: I wish I knew. Maybe it's because I have to run the game or just general loss of interest, or something else. Can't know for sure. :/

2010-01-29 [The Past]: Ah, its ok, we all go through patches like that. If you need a hand in help in anyway with the rp, just give a yell ^_^

2010-01-29 [Roma]: Yeah, no kidding. I'll do my part to keep the place looking nice.

2010-01-29 [Duredhel]: We just need to keep it going >o<
You know you can always ask for help, veltz ;)

2010-01-30 [Veltzeh]: Well, what I would ask for right now is if someone else could run the game...

2010-01-31 [Roma]: I might be interested. I'd have to see how much time I could dedicate once I get to the farm but I'll have wireless and I certainly don't want this thing to die. I'd need to ask Dur for some help but if you teach me the ways, I could see what I can do :P

2010-01-31 [Veltzeh]: That would be great. :D

2010-02-02 [Roma]: Ok, so lets help me!

2010-04-14 [Figgy]: Mmmmmm, Tea bags. :]

2010-04-14 [Sturmi]: ain't there electrical kettles in this mansion?

2010-04-15 [Figgy]: I have awesome internet now, omfg!!! :DDDD

Er, electric kettles? I didn't even know those existed XD

2010-04-15 [Sturmi]: Seriously? -> http://bit.ly/ac8E2G

At home we killed the normal kettle years ago (when there's no electric power we've had to boil water in a pot though)

2010-04-15 [Ms. Steel]: They're kinda just becoming popular in America, I think. My parents had one. Most people tend to nuke their water to heat it for tea. I still use a stovetop kettle, though. :-)

2010-04-15 [Sturmi]: I lived 3 months in the US a few years ago in an hotel room. I had an electric kettle because I couldn't have a kitchen there and I cooked eggs inside it xD (I also boiled water for tea sometimes)

2010-04-15 [Ms. Steel]: That's definitely a most ingenious use for an electric kettle.

2010-06-07 [Ms. Steel]: Eww, kitty cat on the counter.

2010-06-07 [Araglas]: Hey! The kitty happens to be clean! lol

2010-06-07 [Ms. Steel]: hehe.

2010-06-07 [Roma]: yes, I know I said sausage banana. Let's be adult about this -stifles laughter-

2010-06-07 [Araglas]: Vlad better be careful or Luna might claw him lol, she is a very clean cat hehehe

2010-06-07 [Ms. Steel]: Does she wash her paws after covering her POOP and URINE with them? ;-b

2010-06-08 [Ms. Steel]: Ha ha. Vlad's unwittingly acquired a harem!

2010-06-08 [Roma]: I know, he's ALWAYS around Shana, Daniela, Val, and White. Movies, food, doesn't matter. :P

2010-06-09 [Araglas]: Hey! Leave luna alone lol [Ms. Steel] she doesn, she is a very very clean kitten almost human in a few ways... ^_^

2010-06-10 [Duredhel]: Cesar Millan would tell you to stop humanizing her XD

2010-06-10 [Roma]: did we just reference teh dog whisperer?

2010-06-10 [Duredhel]: Well it's only awesome.

2010-06-10 [Araglas]: lol she is a very intelligent kitten! ^_^

2010-06-10 [Duredhel]: Wherever is Alexis btw? he needs to interact with his fellow humans (or mutants). I mean, even Luna is doing it XD

2010-06-10 [Roma]: Ahahaha xD

2010-06-10 [Araglas]: lol he is on his way, he just got done with a shower lol, and Zane will too shortly after that ^_^

2010-06-11 [Duredhel]: That has to be the shortest post ever XD

2010-06-11 [Ms. Steel]: hehe.

2010-06-11 [Roma]: Haha, I didn't think that an entire paragraph was necessary to reply to just one question. :D

2010-06-14 [Duredhel]: Ok guys... if Roma won't bring it up. Post order is important, please, it's RPing 101, I'm still trying to figure out how Michael went into the kitchen after Alexis but somehow arrived before him... :/

2010-06-14 [Figgy]: Alexis entered the kitchen before Michael..

2010-06-14 [Figgy]: "Alexis walked into the kitchen humming softly"...

Several posts later...

"Michael entered the kitchen and stopped dead in his tracks"...

2010-06-14 [Duredhel]: Oh, my bad then, since Alexis had not posted in half a page I missed it.

2010-06-14 [Figgy]: Haha, I forgot about it too :)

2010-06-16 [Figgy]: Guys, don't expect Vlad to reply to anything for a while. It's possible he could though. [Roma] seems to have gone absent without sending her characters back to their rooms, but she might pop back up.

2010-06-17 [Figgy]: Sorry for the double-ish post T_T

2010-06-21 [Figgy]: Yes, I would like to know how everyone interpreted Storm's words in the Danger Room. I wasn't clear on if the spars were continuing later in the night or if they were postponed until another day. You guys could also vote for what you want X3

2010-06-21 [Duredhel]: Cmon guys >o< let's make stuff happen

2010-06-21 [Ms. Steel]: *tosses a paragraph up there*

2010-06-21 [Figgy]: Lol, thanks :)

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: Is [Ms. Steel] going to be the only one to post today? :(

Things have slowed down waaaay too much. :(

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: Yay! Thanks Kel :)

2010-06-22 [Priest Kel]: I was actually waiting for her to post before I did lol

2010-06-22 [Ms. Steel]: I always feel like a post hog.

2010-06-22 [Duredhel]: I'm waiting for replies before Daniela posts again. It would be out of character for her to point out they can just get a car and actually go hang out in town tho XD

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: So I'm taking it there will be no more spars on this night? I suppose they can be continued on another day of the RP.

2010-06-22 [Ms. Steel]: There's really only one left (Zane and Aidan-- not counting Vlad), right? Unless you were going to switch everyone up again. Does seem like most of the characters are all showered and ready to chill. Doesn't make much difference to me. :-)

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: It would probably be cool to do the last spar then have either a big mutie party or a mutie night on the town XD But Zane and Aidan haven't done much lately.

2010-06-22 [Araglas]: Zane is showering lol he'll be back in the kitchen in a moment lol

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: I think I was having a capitalization problem last night. D:

2010-06-22 [Araglas]: lol

2010-06-22 [Duredhel]: You guys should use the plottage page to come up with some plots :3. Just think of what kind of development you'd like to have with your characters, post it up, and then others can join in ;)

2010-06-22 [Figgy]: Well, we have ours, so we don't need to post it, do we?

2010-06-22 [Duredhel]: Hhaha yah XD I was speaking to the others. It just seems that with us, when we defined what we wanted to do with the chars, it all came pretty quickly :D. So if other people plot too, mebbe we can get rid of these dry spells.

2010-06-22 [Araglas]: lol hehe Zane doesn't need a plot...He'll just flirt with everyone making them blush red as a tomatoe...wait...can Flame blush? And if so what color? Oh and how are the drawings coming Dur?

2010-06-23 [The Past]: XD more the question, is someone able to say something to make her blush, hehe. And I'm sure she can :3 but since you can't see her skin, you wouldn't be able to see it happen :B

2010-06-23 [Figgy]: Past, I LOVE your :B face XD It reminds me of Tow Mater!

2010-06-23 [Figgy]: You know, there is a pool that no one ever uses here... X-Men Pools. Pool party?

2010-06-23 [Duredhel]: ..... I swear to god i was JUST thinking about that (also got a half done drawing of Dani and Shana by the pool I started 15 mins ago)

2010-06-23 [Figgy]: XD That's awesome Dur. I was just looking at the page last night and I remembered it a few minutes ago, so I decided to mention it.

2010-06-23 [Figgy]: Zane needs to hit on Shana when he sees her. Just sayin' o.< (They're an awfully lot alike)

2010-06-23 [Araglas]: lol I might just do that hehe but then again I'm wondering how Michael would react to being hit on lol

2010-06-23 [Figgy]: Dooo ittttt :D To Michael, I mean! XD

2010-06-23 [Duredhel]: I posted some plot ideas in the plottage page... just to get the ball rolling :3. (Be careful, XD Michael might just choose to show him his honor)

2010-06-23 [Araglas]: lol hehe I think I might, and I posted some plottage as well lol

2010-06-25 [Figgy]: Get your characters' asses to bed, before I have to Smackaho!

Kidding, but seriously, lets start getting to a new day. Bedtime bitches! :)

2010-06-25 [Ms. Steel]: I was gonna wait for a response, but... I can send Val packing iffa you like.

2010-06-25 [Figgy]: You can wait for a response. Everyone just needs to get moving to bed soon.

2010-06-25 [Figgy]: I like Zane already lmao

2010-06-25 [Ms. Steel]: Happy-go-lucky... l'expression du jour! hehe.

2010-06-26 [Priest Kel]: No, he won't be showing off his "honor"

2010-06-27 [The Past]: XD

2010-06-27 [Figgy]: Zane and Alexis need to gtfo :O

2010-06-28 [Duredhel]: Don't piss off the figgs!

2010-06-28 [Figgy]: XD

2010-09-03 [Ms. Steel]: Val's phone is in her bathrobe pocket, and she's not wearing it right now. :-(

2010-09-03 [Roma]: Haha, it was just more of an "in case" but I AM shocked to discover that she doesn't have her phone with her!

2010-09-18 [Duredhel]: Lack of reaction to half naked people :/ .... this sure is good RPing...

2010-09-18 [Priest Kel]: He's focused on Mihir and barely paying attention to anyone else, however you are right and I need to get better at this. My RPing skills need some work

2010-09-18 [La Luna]: Laurels in her own little world right now sorry she'll notice now

2010-09-18 [La Luna]: O: hey!I resent that!I actually HAVE that outfit!

2010-09-18 [Priest Kel]: I never read a post where Shade or Light brushed their teeth so I assumed that at least a faint smell of alcohol was still on their breath. Maybe not enough for norms to smell but Michael could

2010-09-18 [Figgy]: Yeah, they did absolutely nothing to get cleaned up.
And Luna, Shade doesn't like Laurel's outfit, the comment isn't anything about you.

Try to remember, YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHARACTER.

Oh, but I would like to say that the long posts are definitely what we look for here in the RP. Just try to keep yourself out of them, k? ;P

2010-09-19 [Priest Kel]: I do apologize, but I assumed that with the alcohol running through his faster than normal (due to his metabolism) he felt the brunt of his headache last night. He also drank quite a bit of water last night. Seriously, I need a bit of help with this whole hangover thing...I've never had one and don't quite understand it

2010-09-19 [Duredhel]: Let's not dwell on it Kel and get on with the RPing ;)

2010-09-19 [La Luna]: okay thanks for the help MissFiggy :) still trying to get the hang of this sorry ill get better

2010-09-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: why's laurel so tiered? she was like up and moving about a minuet ago.

2010-09-19 [Veltzeh]: [Mrs Vicious.], still missing proper verbs there...

2010-09-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: I have had to redo my post so many times because my internet kept timing out just as I tried to post it, if its rough, I apologise but its good to just actually have something posted because right now I am ready to scream and kill something.

2010-09-19 [Veltzeh]: You can write it ready on a Notepad on your computer and send it when your connection is working better or try sending it repeatedly. :)

2010-09-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: right, k.

2010-09-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: I think I'm just going to leave it at that, it wasn't that much bigger.

2010-09-19 [Veltzeh]: Copying your post to safety when you try to send is a very useful thing to do either way, so you never need to rewrite them. This goes for everyone, by the way! Free advice, all! X)

2010-09-19 [Figgy]: Especially if you take more than ten minutes to edit the post! After ten minutes, the session times out, leaving the page freely editable to anyone else.

2010-09-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah? didn't know that. My internet kept dying when I was posting so it didn't actually manage to post what I had written and I had to rewrite it about four times.

2010-09-20 [Priest Kel]: Also, just for reference, Michael didn't sniff your hair. His sense of smell is extra keen because he is a were-bear and could smell it from across the room

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: huh? Oh that would be Luna's char.

2010-09-20 [Priest Kel]: Was posting it for her benefit

2010-09-20 [Flisky]: Sorry, guys. I was gone all weekend. So my post is going to backtrack quite a bit. :P

2010-09-20 [Veltzeh]: People durrently in the kitchen: Light, Shade, Laurel, Michael, Jacob, Addy.

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: Luna, there was bacon in her sandwich too.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: oh ill fix it

2010-09-20 [Duredhel]: Is Jacob bipolar? His personality today doesn't match his personality yesterday at all :/

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: huh? how so? actually I rephrase. how do you think so?

2010-09-20 [Duredhel]: in-game yesterday he was shy and defensive, it's quite a transformation in a few hours.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: Laurel made him flourish :P

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: yeah, well he's had a good nights sleep, hasn't been driving across country in a car all day and has settled slightly as he's found some new friends. He's a lot calmer and is used to the occasional sarcastic comment from growing up with Lisa and her family.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: :D sarcasm :D my fave thing

2010-09-20 [Flisky]: You two need to slow your roll and remember that there are other people in the room.

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: Will do. Think I'm going to just leave it there for others to catch up if you don't mind Luna.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: whoopies :( sorry! i already posted :( gosh i need to slow down

2010-09-20 [Duredhel]: Guys, quality over quantity, you're doing tons of lame posts. We do the weekly contest thing and your characters are never gonna get drawn unless you do less, more extensive and better written posts.

If you want examples, look at Figgy, Roma or ThePast, they're amongst the best in the RP.

2010-09-20 [Flisky]: And Dur, don't sell yourself short, you're one of the best, too.

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: How are they lame? I don't get how they're lame to be honest, yes they're short but whatever. I could go back and fill them out with utter bollocks and movement that doesn't need to be in it if you like. As for quality over quantity.. does that imply that you'd rather have good quality over the quantity? as in smallness is good as long as its good.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: sorry ill get better i'm still a trifle new at this

2010-09-20 [Flisky]: First, I think, is that you should also react to other stimuli in the room, not just each other.

2010-09-20 [La Luna]: oh then change a change a wee bit in my post?

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: How so when no ones said anything to them, or moved near them or anything? when I'm having a conversation with someone I tend to concentrate on them.

2010-09-20 [Duredhel]: I consider its best to have a few eventful posts over tons of short uneventful ones. "Utter bollocks" is what gives the post flavour and differences an IM conversation from an RP. Unfortunately this is forgotten in many ET RPs, (sad fact is, a lot of people who think they have experience RPing in ET have bad experience, since the quality of RPs tends to be... well.. less than it should).

I'd rather have a few well written, descriptive and eventful posts rather than a slew of short questionnaire answers. Luna :3 a good tip is to set a minimum number of lines for yourself when posting, just as training wheels. Another good idea is to read all posts from the last one you made and make a small list of stuff that has happened. After a while, your brain will just do all this by itself :3. Try to make it so your posts make a difference for most characters around yours.

Try to think of this, how much has the status quo change for ALL characters in the room after my post? How did I affect and react to ALL other characters around mine? "No man is an island" is specially true in an RP, where reactions and interactions have to be somewhat exaggerated (just like in theatre). "No one is talking to MY characters" is an attitude that tends to mark the amateur.

Also, constant references to your characters looks or physical perfection is not BAD, but its a red flag for other RPers, because they tend to be the first warning sign of a Mary Sue character. The quirks of your characters personality is far more important than his/her looks :3

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: Right, K thank. (Luna I think you need to change your post a little.. don't you mean "Did like her powers?")

2010-09-20 [Flisky]: Addy just walked through the entire room...

2010-09-20 [Mrs Vicious.]: And He waved a spatula at her while he was cooking.

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im curious how being able to turn himself into a moving mountain is pedestrian?

2010-09-21 [Duredhel]: That's a tiny ass mountain. More akin to the guys who pretend to be statues on street corners ;)

2010-09-21 [Figgy]: It's very passive.

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: huh?

2010-09-21 [Veltzeh]: People durrently in the kitchen: Light, Shade, Laurel, Jacob, Addy, Endelyn, Teena.

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: That any better?

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: what is Addy on about?

2010-09-21 [Flisky]: It was a continuation of a convo Endelyn and Addy were having in their room.

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: ahhh cool beans.

2010-09-21 [Veltzeh]: Are you sure your characters don't want to reply to Teena? :o

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: How can I reply to."Ooh! I can help myself to some, can't I?" she asked from no one and began gathering bacon, eggs and toast right away. or were you on about the Hello bit.

2010-09-21 [Veltzeh]: Yeah, it was the "good morning" bit. X)

2010-09-21 [Veltzeh]: Replying to stuff like that is basically pretty idle fluff in the post, but it is significant in the way that it does signal that the character has been noticed by others and that they aren't actively ignoring or anything. :)

2010-09-21 [Flisky]: Can she talk while in animal form???

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: yeah but she usually doesnt talk whne in animal form because it gets tiering because you need to make you voice higher to sound normal

2010-09-21 [Flisky]: Well...animal vocal cords aren't exactly able to produce those sounds, either...

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: well... shes a mutant she's a bit different

2010-09-21 [Duredhel]: Easy solution, it's tiring for her because to speak in animal form she has to temporarily shift only her vocal cords back into human cords (to scale, obviously). Of course, such a controlled transformation must be exhausting both mentally and physically :3

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: exactly thanks dur

2010-09-21 [Flisky]: Hmm...that works. ^_^

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: yay all solved thanks to super dur!

2010-09-21 [Duredhel]: O,o

2010-09-21 [Figgy]: We left our characters in limbo for the moment.

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: hey vicious is Jacob TRYING to flirt with Laurel?

2010-09-21 [Mrs Vicious.]: No,he's just being himself. He has a soft spot for small animals.

2010-09-21 [La Luna]: okay thats good cause that would've been awkward

2010-09-22 [Mrs Vicious.]: psh. she's all over him, what you on about awkward?

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: psh. thats how she is with every guy

2010-09-22 [Veltzeh]: People currently in the kitchen: Laurel, Jacob, Endelyn, Teena, Squid.

2010-09-22 [Mrs Vicious.]: Ill post in a bit maybe... I dunoo. pretty busy.

2010-09-22 [Veltzeh]: [La Luna]: when you write a quote, there should be a space between it and the sentence that precedes it. "Like this."

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: okay thanks for the heads up

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: your busy vicious?

2010-09-22 [Mrs Vicious.]: Yeah, just designing some jewellery I was commissioned to make for my friends wedding.

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: very coolio

2010-09-22 [Mrs Vicious.]: indeeds.

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: so you cant post righty now?

2010-09-22 [Mrs Vicious.]: In a bit.

2010-09-22 [La Luna]: kks

2010-09-23 [La Luna]: ugh i need to finish that post i never got to.....

2010-09-23 [La Luna]: would it be to much for Laurel to come in before any one else posts cause i'm pretty sure it might

2010-09-23 [Duredhel]: Dani & Shana are going to the first floor kitchen. She could go there.

2010-09-24 [Veltzeh]: Teena was trying to greet Endelyn there... :o

2010-09-24 [windowframe]: 'slunked' should be 'slunk' .

2010-09-24 [La Luna]: whoops to late...i posted

2010-09-24 [Veltzeh]: It's never too late to correct typos!

2010-09-24 [La Luna]: ACK! typos sorry!

2010-09-24 [XxTsomexX]: Thank you :) That's what happens when I answer right when I'm about to go to work.

2010-09-26 [Veltzeh]: People currently in the kitchen: Laurel, Jacob, Teena.

2010-09-26 [La Luna]: right-y-o :)
