X-MEN ENTRANCE COURT



Coming from the X-Men Mansion Gates, the Entrance Court is a sizeable expanse of well-manicured lawn, with a long white crushed-quartz driveway winding its way up to the entrance of the mansion (X-Men Foyer), and culminating in an elegant circle at the house's golden-veined marble front steps. Off to one side of the court are the X-Men Gardens, which boast a wide array of flora when in season, and to the other side, in the distance, sits the lovely X-Men Gazebo, a lone, free-standing structure for those looking to get away from the hubbub of the mansion. Further exploration past either side of the front lawn will lead one to the X-Men Grounds, which encompass almost the entire backside of the building. The house itself, while imposing in its size, is constructed from classic materials-- brick, mostly, with weathered copper appointments and a slate roof-- in a grand but understatedly elegant Americanized Georgian-style architectural design.

2012-09-06 [Figgy]: Better get them out of
the way >_>

2012-09-06 [XxTsomexX]: I shall wait for miss steel to answer lol?

2012-09-06 [Figgy]: Sure :3

2012-09-06 [Ms. Steel]: Just so no one calls godmoding on me, since Casper's already crashing through the foyer, can Lu's reaction be in part to the doors getting wrecked?

2012-09-06 [Ms. Steel]: Okee dokee. If I need to alter anything in that post, just lemme know!

2012-09-06 [Roma]: I'll wait since Vlad is chasing

2012-09-06 [Flisky]: Need Figgs to post now.

2012-09-06 [XxTsomexX]: Yup ;)

2012-09-09 [Figgy]: The grounds actually goes around the back of the mansion, then you'd have to get to the gardens, then back to the green house. So she took the long way around?

2012-09-09 [XxTsomexX]: Yup. She's in heels and was mostly looking around (that and I didn't notice the link to the gardens here)

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

2012-09-25 [Ms. Steel]: How's that for service!

2012-09-25 [Duredhel]: Guuuys :3 wanna mebbe kinda move out so Akantha & Shade can drive through? XD
Mebbe figgs creates new areas downtown so they're not shopping on the same area? :O

2012-09-25 [Figgy]: I was waiting for them to go through first. They're sort of at the gates already. Light is stalling.
And I'll come up with something.

Also, fast Ix.

2012-09-25 [Ms. Steel]: Isn't it... the other way around? The garage exit goes right to the Main Gates and then to town?

2012-09-25 [Duredhel]: 8>
My bad. Sorry XD.

2012-09-25 [Figgy]: I'll post as soon as Akantha and Shade clear the mansion gates. Unless I come up with more reasons to stall.

2012-09-25 [Ms. Steel]: Okee dokee.

2012-11-11 [The Past]: Side note, Tim's actually 'sitting' on the grass ;)

2012-11-11 [Figgy]: THAT'S why Nox's post didn't work in my brain.

2012-11-11 [The Black Goat]: whoops I can go fix that ^^'

2013-01-05 [The Black Goat]: Wait for The Past?

2013-01-05 [Lepellier]: That statement...Taken out of context, it baffles my mind in hilarious ways.

2013-01-05 [The Black Goat]: Lmao

Okay, that paradox aside ^^

2013-01-06 [The Past]: Sorry guys, I'm limited in posting times, due to work :)

2013-01-06 [The Black Goat]: no prob, I understand ^^

2013-01-11 [Flisky]: Casper: camouflage level expert. XD

2013-01-11 [The Black Goat]: Aww how cute

2013-01-14 [Lepellier]: Just a friendly nightbnorhood reminder here for you, Figgs. :D

2013-01-14 [Figgy]: XD
Thanks, had this one marked.

2013-01-14 [Lepellier]: Ahh, even better. :D Just wanted to make sure.

2013-01-22 [Roma]: Heh, Casper flailing again

2013-02-02 [The Black Goat]: Guy *poke poke*

2013-02-03 [Ms. Steel]: So as not to jump the posting gun, it's Nox's turn, correct?

2013-02-03 [The Black Goat]: Yepp =)


Issabelle rolled her eyes as Guy stumbled through his directions to the office and without so much as a thank you, turned and continued down the walkway. The frown on her face dimminished some what when she saw Vlad though, and it was replaced by a slightly flirty smile. "Hi there." She said, completely ignoring the girl beside him, "You said something about being able to show me where the office is?" Not alot of guys could completely dwarf her the way this guy currently did, and it just so happened she had a thing for those who could. "I like the ax, zombie hunting?"

2013-02-03 [The Black Goat]: Issabelle's eyes flickered briefly to Valerie when Vlad motioned to the other girl, before moving back to the man himself. Her smile faded some what when she realized, dissapointed, that he wasn't going to escort her there. "Catch you around then." She said with a slight jerk of her head as she bypassed the russian and his two companions to make a beeline ofr the x-men foyer.

2013-02-04 [Roma]: Aidan's going to get frostbite on his tootsies

2013-02-05 [Ms. Steel]: Oh, Primeval, where art thou...

2013-02-06 [Roma]: Figgy, would it be ok to sorta...go around Primeval this time so we can get things under way?

2013-02-06 [Duredhel]: Figgs is not around right now but I'm sure she'd be fine with it.

2013-02-06 [Figgy]: That's fine.

2013-02-07 [Dwarf Ronin]: Really sorry, I'm so swamped with three papers to write and a new job. Working on my timing so I can some free time, I will do better.

2013-02-08 [Roma]: Snow is up to a foot deep. What's with all the poor shoes? And why does it irk me so?

2013-02-08 [Flisky]: Pfft. No one needs boots in the snow. (And Rook is usually barefoot. I don't know...it's just his thing, apparently...)

2013-02-09 [The Black Goat]: In a foot of snow? You don't if you're just walking on shovled sidewalks and plowed roads, but anything deeper then 3 inches is a pain and cold

2013-02-09 [Flisky]: I've lived in Michigan my entire life. I barely ever wear boots, even in the foot tall snow. Makes life a little more interesting. XP

2013-02-09 [Roma]: Well you aren't 4'7, I presume.

2013-02-09 [Flisky]: I was when I played in the snow. ;D

2013-02-09 [Lirerial]: I've never used boots when I'm in the snow either; it irrtates me getting them on lol

2013-02-09 [Lepellier]: Also living in Michigan my whole life, never wore boots in the snow. Actually, it's almost always converse now-a-days.

2013-02-09 [Flisky]: Exactly. *points at Lep* That's exactly right!

2013-02-09 [The Black Goat]: Upper or lower michigan? Because regular shoes are fine unless you are knee deep in snow, then you're just being stupid

2013-02-09 [Flisky]: When I was younger, it really didn't make a difference what part of MI you were in. We had one winter where we had to dig our way out of our house. And I've never worn winter boots. Nor did any of my siblings...

2013-02-09 [Lepellier]: ^ Pretty much that. I've always lived in lower Michigan, but not far from the Lake. We'd get a ton of lake effect snow that would drift a LOT.

2013-02-09 [Duredhel]: I've lived in a third world country all my life, this one time I drunk water off a rain gutter in a little country town in the andes. Nothing bad happened to me :>

... doesn't change the fact it was a stupid thing to do.
Anecdotal evidence is not evidence.

2013-02-09 [Roma]: Werd

2013-02-12 [Figgy]: So is Aidan gonna go charm Rook, or what?

2013-02-12 [The Black Goat]: I liked my feet warm, dry, and without frostbite. Y'all "trolls" get some of the snow, but not nearly as heavy or as cold. We are also surrounded by lakes so we get that too =P

2013-02-12 [Flisky]: Unless you're a yooper, you don't get to call people trolls. :P

2013-02-13 [Lepellier]: En route, sorry, been a touch busy

2013-02-13 [Figgy]: Lillium! Aidan!

2013-02-15 [The Black Goat]: i am a yooper, so i'll call it like i see it. troll XD

2013-02-22 [Figgy]: Lep - Aidan

2013-02-22 [Flisky]: I think we need a Casper post before I post...

2013-02-24 [Flisky]: And I'm assuming Casper transformed back here...

2013-02-24 [Figgy]: I suppose so, yes.

2013-02-25 [Lepellier]: Ummmm, yeah, not really anything to post for Aidan. Just kinda standing there until things get resolved.

2013-02-27 [The Past]: Sorry, will post tomorrow after work, am totally dead to the world tonight -_____-

2013-03-05 [~Valkyrie~]: It looks like there are no characters out here at the moment. Is that correct?

2013-03-05 [Duredhel]: Yep.

2013-03-05 [~Valkyrie~]: Cool, on to the foyer. :p

2013-03-28 [Ms. Steel]: I'll post here later tonight.

2013-05-18 [twitchboy]: poke

2013-05-20 [ZeoOfFire]: Sorry, went home for a long weekend, and ended up away from the internet.

2013-05-26 [Evolution X]: can't help but notice everything's been deleted.

2013-05-26 [Flisky]: It was moved to the Archive page. ^_^ That's what happens on day change day.

2013-05-26 [Duredhel]: Mhm :> otherwise pages get unwieldly. We have something cool planned for this in-game day, I'll try to get it put up later today :D. In the meantime your char can wake up in his room and go about stuff.

2013-05-26 [Figgy]: X-Men RP Archives has all the previous stuff if you want to look back at it.

2013-06-13 [twitchboy]: hmm shall Mark just drive forward dragging Kyle along

2013-06-13 [Ms. Steel]: Sure.

2013-07-12 [Figgy]: Anything in particular that Olivio is waiting on?

2013-07-12 [ancienteye]: Do the papers in the envelope say anything in particular? I'm sorry, I have fairly limited experience in RPs, but usually the GM in the RPGs I've played in say what the letters/notes/whatever say. ^_^"

2013-07-12 [Figgy]: Danger told olivio what was in the envelope at the gate. You still need to pick a dorm for him at X-Men Dormitories though.

2013-07-12 [ancienteye]: Does anyone want a roommate or will room 216 do?

2013-07-12 [Figgy]: You'd be better off asking on the page itself, in the comments.

2013-07-12 [ancienteye]: Ok, then.

2013-07-23 [Figgy]: Proudness = pride :>

2013-07-23 [XxTsomexX]: oops lol I'll fix it

2013-07-23 [Flisky]: What would happen if Rook touched Hilery?

2013-07-24 [Lirerial]: She'd probably loose her form for a little while and end up as a cloud or pile of glitter/ sand... I'm kinda opting for the 2nd state since it'd be more of a shocker lol
\

2013-07-24 [Flisky]: She should lose her physical mutation...shouldn't she? Not lose her control, but her mutation. I kinda want to see her become normal looking. (But that's just me...) If she ended up as a pile of sand, she wouldn't be a person anymore, would she? Just curious.

2013-07-24 [Lirerial]: She's not technically made of flesh and hasn't been in years... Idk how that would work... We could play it like that though. It'd make it interesting and quite likely awaken an obsession lol

2013-07-24 [Flisky]: It would be so weird. Rook would have an unofficial girlfriend. Totally.

2013-07-24 [Lirerial]: lol one that looks like she's 6 haha

2013-07-24 [Flisky]: And Rook is kind of gay. So...weirdest couple ever.

2013-07-24 [Lirerial]: yea.... he'll look like a pediphile while Hilery is actually being one lol They can be he best of friends! lol

2013-08-15 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: So we post here now?

2013-08-15 [Duredhel]: yup.

2013-08-15 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: I'll let Noxy go first then since I just got to work.

2013-08-26 [Duredhel]: As soon as Devlin gets to the grounds, Shade'll teleport there.

2013-08-27 [Figgy]: ... Is Devlin gonna move to the grounds? :>
Having a snowball fight in the entrance court won't exactly be ideal, since it's mostly icy pavement right now.

2013-08-27 [CuteCommander]: I figured that it'd be odd having him stand there and then move on for no reason, but I'll move him now that Shawn has gone past

2014-04-22 [Duredhel]: Erhm... remember the toning down thing, Vhnori? Ice is just not flexible, certainly not enough for a dress, regardless of how much one might want it to be or how it looked in Frozen.

2014-04-22 [Vhnori Valmos]: Hey im improvising, and technically if its soft enough, kinda like slush, it can be flexible.

2014-04-22 [Duredhel]: No, its not.

Slush doesn't have the strength to retain its shape, so its closer to a liquid. If Vhnori tried to make a dress out of a thin film of slush it would fall apart within seconds, with no structural integrity whatsoever. For that matter, so would a dress made out of a sheet of ice, as it is rigid, brittle and heavy.

We all understand you want your char to be super uber-cool, but her power need to be focused and, if not toned down, at least make sense.

This is kind of like Mihir using his fire powers to crochet a sweater :/

2014-04-22 [Vhnori Valmos]: Well with all due respect I do feel that her power makes sense and is toned down quite a bit. She has the power to control ice and water, therefor she should have enough power to retain the shape and flexibility of the ice or slush or whatever that she is controlling with her power.

2014-04-22 [Figgy]: With all due respect, Dur and I are the GMs, which means we decide what makes sense, for the sake of everybody. We allow or deny characters based on what powers and attributes they have, and if we feel something doesn't make sense with a character, we correct it so things don't get out of hand and no one is overpowered.

Someone can believe that their character has the ability to control someone's mind and every single movement they make, but that doesn't mean we'll let them.

2014-05-13 [Flisky]: Oh my God...Lire and Atsila won't even know each other.

2014-05-15 [Ms. Steel]: Aw, poor Tory!

2014-05-15 [Flisky]: Whereas Valerie has real cheerfulness, Tory's is totally a show.

2014-05-15 [Lirerial]: Flisk, no they won't. :(

2014-05-16 [Figgy]: Nik, don't forget to pay attention to who is in an area! You'll miss out on a lot of interaction if you don't.

2014-05-16 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: right, that would be tory?

2014-05-16 [The Black Goat]: yes =)

she's moping because sasaiya didn't let her play with her hair XD

2014-05-16 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok, should i change his actions? i mean my character is a kind guy

2014-05-16 [Figgy]: Yeah, if you notice before it's too late, it's always good to amend your post :O

2014-05-16 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok then should i tell the other user

2014-05-16 [Figgy]: Nah, she'll see it when she logs on.

2014-05-16 [The Black Goat]: I don't think so, just amend your post, flisk hasn't responded yet so the floor is still open

2014-05-16 [The Black Goat]: whoops, Figgy beat me to it ^^

2014-05-17 [Flisky]: ..............can we give me more to post to than that?

2014-05-17 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ...ok, ill try...

2014-05-17 [The Black Goat]: The more you include in your characters post, the more you give to the other players to work off of with theirs. Try to put yourself in the moment, describe more than just his outward actions; what is he feeling? What does he think of the other characters and how does it effect the way he reacts to her? Does he wonder why she's sitting out at the front of this big 'ol mansion looking kind of glum?

the more detail you add the more we can get a feel for your character as a person and the easier it will be to play off of that

2014-05-17 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok, ill add more detail this post

2014-05-17 [The Black Goat]: =)

2014-05-17 [Figgy]: Guys, this is Nik's first RP, so let's try to be as helpful as we can.

2014-05-18 [ancienteye]: Ok. :)

2014-05-18 [The Black Goat]: ohhh he's an RP virgin for reals?

2014-05-18 [Figgy]: Yup!

2014-05-18 [The Black Goat]: poor thing ^^

2014-05-18 [Flisky]: I have a ton of inappropriate comments going through my head. Best not to scare off the new people.

2014-05-18 [CuteCommander]: Urge to be entirely inappropriate rising!

2014-05-20 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: sorry for the absence from posting my allergies have been bad lately

2014-07-15 [Duredhel]: Meep :> I need to wait for Flame to arrive on here before Echo can.

2014-07-15 [The Past]: Ah shit! Sorry, got distracted with keeping Tim out of limbo, I forgot Flame was in it. My bad.

2014-07-15 [Duredhel]: No problemo.
