Schrat Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [color=blue]"Relax for a change sound Nice" Nick stands up and walks around the table to Sil. He stood next to her and looked into her eyes. Sil:" Everything alright Nick" "Yeah, just umm...distracted" Sil blushed... "Whata you say we head over to the pool for a quick dip?" Sil: "Sure" They walk out of the messhall and towards the olympic size indoor pool...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Calmly stripping down to lengire, Sil stepped out to the diving block and took her stance.[/i] Nick: Do you know what you're doing? Sil: I'm me....go figure. [i]With a spring and a swift movement, she dived; her hands out in the proper diving position and held her legs together, toes pointed. Making hardly a splash, she dove deeply, then rose to the surface, sucking in a huge gulp of air. She shook her head and the droplets sprayed in the air....and she smiled. Treading water easily, she splashed Nick with one hand. He ducked then made a face at her.[/i] Nick: Well? Sil: Come on it...the water's great! Nick: How cold is it? Sil: Oh...about 30 degrees. [i]She winked at him rougishly.....the water was easily about 85 degrees....[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrat Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [color=blue] Nick threw his shirt on the ground and dove into the water. After a moment under he came up for air laughing. "30 degrees" Sil:" Yeah!" Sil splashed water at Nick and Nick dove under. He swam under her legs coming up for air behind her and splashing water at her head. Sil:" Oh my God!" Sil swam towards Nick. Nick looked up towards the ceiling and fired himself up there using an Ice blast. Sil: "Hey!" Eventually Nick fell down and formed his dive into a cannonball, creating an enormous splash. Sil and Nick continued playing for over an hour...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Moving with the sleekness of a tiger, Sil pushed her arms up and fliped out of the pool, then landed with one leg extended, the other just beneath her. She rose to her feet and grabbed a towel from the rack, then began to dry her hair furiously.[/i] Nick: You're not half bad. Sil: When I find my one-peice, I'll start showing off. Nick: ...and when did you lose this? [i]With a final rub, she shook her hair loose, then wrapped the towel around her waist. She bent down to Nick's eye level and shook one finger in his face.[/i] Sil: It was not lost, it was stolen by some lovesick gentlemen who resides here. When I do find it.... Nick: Oo, sounds bloody. Sil: If I have anything to say about it, it will be. [i]She smirked at him, then sauntered out of the room, moving easily and gracefully....on her way to her room, she stopped. On a whim, she pushed open Adriana's door and sat down on her bed. The weather witch was staring out the window, watching the moon rise.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 Rei... you really have no idea what your doing do you? In your last post, you were in the mansion, so how could you have magically appeared 5,000 miles away all of a sudden? Craig is on the streets of South Wales, not in the mansion in New York. Also, your posts are of very poor quality... so I must ask that you take some time to post carefully and adequately, or else you will be asked to leave. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The hatchway at the base of the helicopter lowered, it was stepped... but a platform started lowering, sttatched to the rails at the sides of the steps. It stopped at ground level, and Xavier wheeled himself onto it, and turned to face Craig. [B]Xavier:[/B] This, is the X-M Velocity. Please, come aboard. Craig watched as the platform rose, now carrying the disabled professor onto the chopper. When he was half way up, Craig teleported away, and appeared at a spot near the top of the stairway. He got up into the craft, and waited, crouched on all fours as the professor was elevated the rest of the way. [B]Xavier:[/B] Craig... our current leader of the X-Men is also named Craig. We shall have to think of creating code names for each of you, so we don't get confused. [B]Craig:[/B] That's if I decide to stay... [B]Xavier:[/B] ...Of course. Xavier wheeled himself over to a spot in the cockpit... there was a metal compartment on the floor... where a pilot seat normally would have been. Craig guessed that it was lowered into this compartment when the professor was the pilot. His suspicions were confirmed when the professor keyed in a combination on his wheelchair, and two restraints bolted him to the floor. Craig got up, and walked over to the co-pilot seat, wrapping his tail around his waist so it didn't get uncomfortable for him. [B]Craig:[/B] This is a... nice helicopter. [B]Xavier:[/B] I thought you'd like it. It has all the latest in radar, communication and weapons software. There is very little in the world with enough power to take this down... anything human atleast. [B]Craig:[/B] You mean there are people like us strong enough to take down aircraft? [B]Xavier:[/B] Yes indeed. You will soon find that not so hard to believe... especially with potential like yours. By now, the craft was already in flight. It was very fast, but Craig noted that the rotor's of the blades were extremely quiet. Craig stared inquisitively at the controls of the ship, and there were many. [B]Craig:[/B] So ugh... what kinds of people are at this school of yours? [B]Xavier:[/B] Well... one in particular is very much like you. He has thick blue fur covering his entire body... but he doesn't have your teleportation ability. He is, however, much larger and stronger than you. [B]Craig:[/B] Well... atleast I won't stand out as much now. [B]Xavier:[/B] Hahaha. I think you'll like this place a lot. Please, fasten your seat belt, we're almost there.

Raiha Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 [COLOR=royalblue][i]The two sisters of blood and spirit sat together quietly. Neither had any reason to speak. Both knew exactly what the other was wondering. Adriana looked up at the night sky and Sil quietly joined her. The two watched Vega rise into their view....and Sil looked at the crescent moon.[/i] Adriana: Do you miss him terribly? Sil: Not really. I know he's happy now. And I've got my life to live. But I do miss him. I'll get over it. Adriana: .....that's good. If I were a compassionate person, I would say I miss Matt. But I'm not. Sil: Good reason. Ah well, I'm going to bed. Adriana: Goodnight Sil. [i]The two nodded to eachother, and Sil stood up. She padded out of the room silently, and waltzed herself up to the room. Once inside, she took off the towel, brushed out her thick hair and crawled into bed. Dreams quickly overtook her mind.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 [I]While everyone else was quiet in their deep slumbers Andrew stood raiding the fridge in the Kitchen. He had several plates as per usual only this time they were far fuller. He sat down at the table and smirked to himself. [B]This was a meal fit for a King![/B] He thought to himself. His right eyebrow was raised to it?s maximum as he began stuffing his face. He was finished in minutes. He stood from his chair and headed to the door now ready to get to bed when he heard a door open. He darted to the main entrance and saw the Professor entering with a new mutant. Andrew instantly noticed that he and this new mutant had a connection of appearance, but what about mentally?[/I] [B]Andrew:[/B] Hey Professor! How was the flight? *Turning to Craig* Nice to meet you, I?m Andrew. [B]Xavier:[/B] Ah! Craig, this is who I was talking about, I believe you two will have no trouble becoming fast friends! Could you show Craig to his room Andrew and then I?ll give everyone proper introductions in the morning. [B]Andrew:[/B] Right you are boss! Let?s go Craig. [I]Andrew began to climb the stairs and suddenly with a cloud of smoke Craig appeared at the top. This, however, did not surprise Andrew. He had experienced a lot of mutant activity and now came to expect that most people had a power.[/I] [B]Andrew:[/B] Neat trick! *Sarcastically* Do you do Magic shows too? [I]As they went past each persons room Andrew would point out who they belonged to and their power and background. When they finally got to Craig?s room Andrew showed him in and introduced him to the en suite bathroom. After saying his good night Andrew left Craig with his thoughts and travelled back down the corridor to his own room. He heard several people stirring in their sleep, probably at the loss of their team-mate, the late Craig. Andrew had his own grievances but was glad that Craig could do something good before he left. Andrew leapt straight into bed, already in his boxers while he stuffed his face. He lay for several minutes before drifting off into thought land. Old memories and strange thoughts flooded his mind. He could never sleep and always had strange thoughts before he slept. He sighed as he drifted into a light sleep.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 [COLOr=royalblue][i]Hours later, Moon Chaser awoke to see the moonlight splashing across her pillow. She rose to her feet and pulled on a pair of frayed jean shorts, then tied on a short tank top. Then she quietly opened the door and padded down the hall to the new mutant's room. From what she had overheard, his name was also Craig. Interesting connection. She knocked on the door. Nothing. So she took the right she had from being one of the senior members, and quietly opened it. He was blue. Cute......pointy tail, three fingers on each hand, yellow glow under both his half shut eyes. She smiled to herself.[/i] Sil: .......hello. Craig.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 [Color=royalblue][I]Alex lay awake in the medical wing, his thoughts turned to Craig. Craig had been a good friend and had walked both paths a mutant must face. Craig had joined his father Magneto and attacked his former friends but then repented his ways and rejoined us on a mission against Magneto... But it was on Magneto's asteroid that Craig met his doom, he sacrificed his own life to protect his friends, anything...... Alex would have done anything to change what happened... The doors of the wing opened and Logan walked in, Alex knew why Logan hadn't fought. He would have been easily beaten by Magneto because of his powers, but also Logan had to take care of the Professor who had been terribly injured by Craig and Seifer but was alright now, he had even promised to help Alex expand and control his new psychic powers. Still no amount of cheerful though could make him forget one of his friends...[/I] [B]Alex[/b]: Goodbye Craig, may your bravery and courage live on in this place... [b]Logan[/b]: Hey Alex, how are your legs [I]Alex's thoughts returns once more to the battle before Magneto's fall when Craig had pledged allegiance to him. Alex had defeated Seifer but Craig had fired a girder and broken Alex's legs.... Alex fought on the asteroid helping his teammates but in the end, they still suffered a terrible loss.....[/I] [b]Alex[/b]: The pain isn't nearly as bad as it was...... but I still only barely walk. Professor Xavier told me last night that I'll be out in a day or two.... [b]Logan[/b]: OK.... well I'm here to check on you, to see how your doing....the Professor has brought another kid to the school,......his name's.....Craig [b]Alex[/b]: Logan am I allowed to leave now ?, it's driving me crazy here. [b]Logan[/b]: Yeah, I know the feeling, I'll take you out now, that's why I'm here...come on [I]Alex gets of the bed slowly and Logan hands him two crutches, he slowly adjusts to using them, but can soon move about with relative speed. Logan takes him down to the cafeteria to get something to eat..... He sees Professor Xavierand says hello....[/I] [b]Alex[/b]: Hey Professor what's new ? [i]The Professor tells Alex about what has been happening during his absence[/i][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 [color=purple][i]Adriana pinched herself.[/i] Adriana: Enough.. damnit you idiot.. forget him! [i]Adriana opened the window and stepped onto the ledge. She felt the natural breeze run through her silky hair. She let herself fall.. up. Adriana touched down onto the rooftop. Seifer was crying. This was the reason he did not hear her touch the roof, it was also the reason he nearly jumped from his skin when. Adriana slid her hand over his shoulder. He turned, shocked, and stared into her glinting silver eyes.[/i] Adriana: You must let him pass Seifer.. it does not do to dwell on pain and regret.. I know better than any.. Seifer: I know.. but.. He was my brother.. All this time and I never knew.. Adriana: You must also let Magneto go.. I know you've lived your life wondering who your father was Seifer.. but you cannot beat yourself up any longer.. I won't have it.. Seifer: I wish I had known.. [i]Tear rolled down Seifer's cheeks. Adriana was actually suprised. Suprised at his openness, and suprised at her own suprise. She pulled him closer to her. Adriana wrapped her arms around Seifer and laid her head on his shoulder. She felt his warm tears on her bare shoulder. Adriana lifted her head and breathed softly in his ear.[/i] Adriana: Relax Seifer.. It is over.. I'm here..

Yoda Posted January 1, 2003 Author Share Posted January 1, 2003 Sorry, every year I go down my Nan's for X-Mas week... that's why I haven't posted. --------------------------------------------------- Craig opened his eyes fully, and looked up at the girl. Still in his victimised frame of mind, he teleported away, re-appearing again on the ceiling. Then he realised he was in the mansion, not in his own bed, being hunted by humans. Then, the girl must also be a mutant. She hadn't yet realised where he had got to. He dropped down, arching backwards and landing in a crouch on the floor behind the girl. [B]Craig:[/B] What do you want? The girl turned around, shocked. Craig had the ability to move silently, after all, he was more animal-like than anyone else in this place, save perhaps Andrew. His tail swayed gently behind him. [B]Sil:[/B] I just wanted to say hello, and welcome. My name's Sil. The girl held out her hand, and Craig regarded it for a moment before he accepted it. [B]Craig:[/B] I'm Craig. [B]Sil:[/B] There were rumours that you could teleport... I see that's true. What kind of limits does that have? [B]Craig:[/B] None really... I just have to know where I'm teleporting to. The professor says that otherwise I have the risk of reapearing inside a solid object, which would kill me. [B]Sil:[/B] So, there's no distance limit? [B]Craig:[/B] I'm not sure... I haven't really tested it like that. Normally I was using my ability to run and hide... [B]Sil:[/B] Mutant-phobics? [B]Craig:[/B] I guess. So, what do you do?

Raiha Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]She sighed and removed one glove. Then she silently tapped the side of his face with the ball of her thumb. He drew back, shocked and terrified. Something had automatically passed between them, but it wasn't palpable....he looked at her, and her eyes were glittering yellow instead of the insiduous silver he had seen.[/i] Craig: Wha-? Sil: I absorb the life force of anyone I touch. And for mutants, I take their powers for a time....you're lucky. I only touched you for a short second. If I had held on, you'd be either unconcious or dead. Craig: ....oh....that must suck. Sil: Yes it does sometimes. But it's saved my life. [i]With a quick motion, she pulled her glove back on and floated up easily, like swimming. She hovered slightly, smiling once more.[/i] Sil: There is one nice thing about it though? Craig: And that is? Sil: One mutant gave me her entire being, so I'm bulletproof, waterproof, able to fly, and lift about 50 tons. [i]Flipping head over heels and landing lightly, she grinned at him and landed on all fours.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted January 2, 2003 Author Share Posted January 2, 2003 [B]Craig:[/B] Well, all that isn't much good if your not able to hit your opponent. [B]Sil:[/B] Oh, I haven't met anyone yet who has been able to succesfully defend against me. [B]Craig:[/B] Well then you haven't met someone who could teleport... Both of them were now on all fours, Craig looking a lot more comfortable in his position than Sil, being as it was his natural stance. Sil smiled playfully, and Craig waited patiently, expecting an attack. However, Sil then stood up, she realised that if both of them were focused, it was improbable that she could catch him, as he could teleport. [B]Sil:[/B] Everyone will see just how good we both are tomorrow Craig. [B]Craig:[/B] What do you mean? [B]Sil:[/B] Oh, maybe the professor didn't mention it to you. While your here, your part of a team known as the X-Men. Tomorrow we are going through trials to decide the leader, second in command and so on. Everyone is participating... even you. [B]Craig:[/B] Ugh... wouldn't it make sense to let me get to know everyone? I mean... if I do beat you all... I'm not sure how likely that is, but if I do... won't there be some issues of trust? [B]Sil:[/B] Maybe with the others. But, I trust you. [B]Craig:[/B] Why? [B]Sil:[/B] When I touch someone, I not only get their powers, but their memories also. I know what you've suffered... it's worse than any one in this place. Yet, even after so much persecution, you've agreed to stay with a group of mutants, that defend the people who have hunted you for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QuickSilver Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Seifer awoke in the recovery room; his head was spinning and he was a bit dazed. He was still very tramourtised about the whole experiance. He walked out of the room, and stumbled down the corridor holding his head. He didnt feel like using his powers any more. He thought back to the time when he did not know he had any powers, back to the time when he was happy and there was no pain or suffering. He punched the wall at full power; his knuckles bled. He thought [i]"why did this have to happen to me"[/i]. He walked slowly up to his room. He had a few looks from the students as he trembled up the stairs and along to his room. He washed the blood off his hand, and then collapsed onto his bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my pride causes my agony. Not mutant haters. Craig: ....pride. That's what drives mutant haters? Besides fear? Sil: Some people think they have the right to be the most powerful on this Earth. Any threat is bad. So of course... Craig: It must be removed. Sil: You're smarter than you first made me think. [i]With a tilting wink, she turned to go, then remembered something. And turned. Faced him.[/i] Sil: ...before you were here, Craig was a name well known. It was also the name of the man I once loved. He was killed by Magneto. The others might shy away from that. But I will not.

Schrat Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 [size=1][color=blue]Nick awoke hours after swimming with Sil. He threw a beenie on his head and an Xavier School shirt, as well as some jeans on. Nick walked out of his room and down the stairs. He was heading for the weight room, he realized if there was to be another attack on Mutants of any kind, he would do his part ot be ready. "Iceman" as others had begun calling him walked past the lower dormatories to the weight room. He passed a room with the door open, Sil was standing in the doorway looking down towards the floor. [b]"Sil you alright?"[/b] Sil looked up and smiled at Nick [b]Sil: "Yeah Nick, everythings fine."[/b] She moved away revealing a Blue boy, with three long pointy fingers, and a tail. [b]Sil: "This is Craig, it's his first Night here"[/b] Nick walked into the doorway of the room, as Sil walked out of his way. [b]" Watsup Craig, My name's Nick"[/b] Nick put his hand out to shake Craig's, and Craig did the same. [b]Craig: "Hello Nick"[/b] Nick, Craig, and Sil talked for about twenty minutes, about powers, Magneto, the School, Xavier, and other things that had happened over the past few months here at Xavier School for the gifted.

[i]Before the others could protest, she opened the nearby window and slipped out, falling backwards easily. Craig leapt over and looked out. She was heading straight down, hands held out horizontally from the body. Just before she hit the ground, she flipped her body over and swirled upwards, then out of sight. He shook his head and looked back at Nick.[/i] Craig: Does she do that often? Nick: Oh, five or six times a day. You get used to it. Craig: Oh. [i]She kept her straight line upwards, then she turned to the side and headed out towards the gardens once more. As soon as she was directly over, she made a bee line for the Japanese koi ponds. She landed near the shrine and sat down on the gilded bench. She flicked several cherrios in the lake, and watched the many colored fish jostle eachother, bitting for them. Sil smiled slightly, then turned towards the shrine. The bell rang softly for her, and she entered.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 [color=purple][i]Adriana's eyes snapped open.[/i] A dream? [i]Adriana rose from her bed and cracked her neck and back as she walked to the mirror. She stood before it and looked into it at what was by logic, her reflection. She was about to turn away when she noticed something on her shoulder. Adriana reached her hand up to her shoulder and touched it. It was dry. She slid her hand down her arm to the fabric. A tiny piece of it, was damp. Adriana's jaw dropped.[/i] Adriana: It wasn't a dream?! But.. how.. [i]Adriana shut her mouth and dropped her hands. [/I] Why was she over dramatizing it? So Seifer cried, so his tears got on her clothes, so her shoulder was damp. Oh well. [i]The silver eyed girl stripped naked and got into the shower. She emerged an hour later dripping and radiantly refreshed. Adriana put up her hair into two balls at the back of her head, with soft white tendrils accenting her enticingly bare shoulders. She wanted to keep it that way. Adriana pulled on a crisp, clean, white, mini, strapless dress. Around her neck she wrapped a thin white leather band which was adorned with small silver spikes. Adriana buckled her white leather boots that came halfway up her shin. To finish it off without going overboard, she wrapped a thin silver chain around her right wrist. Feeling much better, Adriana hung up her towels and walked out of the room. As she was walking down the hall to the common room, she heard someone coming roughly down the hallway, it sounded as if their feet were stumbling on the maroon carpet. Adriana also heard a dragging sound, which she found out as she turned the corner was Seifer's shoulder scraping along the wall as he slouched against it. She was shocked to see the warrior of speed in such a disheveled manner. His eyes were cast downwards and he was holding his head with the hand that wasnt attached to the arm dragging on the wall. His silvery white hair was loose and messy. Never the less, Adriana still couldn't help but crack a smile as she saw him. Adriana took him by the shoulder, shocked at his icy skin against her warm skin, she led him back down to the recooperation room. Despite his apprehension, Seifer was too weak to care about resisting. Adriana laid him back down into one of the beds. and drew the covers up to his bare shoulders.[/i] Adriana: You need to rest.. You have had a really hard night.. Don't fight the sleep.. let it come.. it can only bring good.. [i]Seifer opened his mouth to speak, but was too weak. Adriana brought a glass of water to his bed and wet a cloth with it, which she dabbed on his forehead and neck. Gradually, sleep closed his eyes. Adriana bent over his bent, and rested her lips on his forehead. She brought herself back up, smiled at his sleeping form, and left the reccoperation room.[/i][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 The next day, everyone was gathered in the briefing hall, the only room on Level B1 besides the control room of the danger room. Xavier sat at the head of the table, and looked about the recruits. The Xavier Institute for Higher Learning had barely been open a month... and yet they had already gone through so much. It was time to establish order, to assign a leader that was capable to lead if ever Xavier was not there. The most obvious choices were Sil and Seifer... two of the oldest members of the group, they knew everyone, and were able to give orders. The only problem was that Sil was quite an emotional fighter... and Seifer was not the best tactician. That was something the old Craig had been good at. Xavier then, thinking about that, brought his attention towards the new Craig. He was sitting there, his yellow eyes peering at the ground, but his ears were perked. He was listening, taking in every piece of information he could from anyone. Xavier pondered; was this boy suitable for leadership? Already he had developed a friendship with Andrew, who sat on his right, and he was also developing quite a bond with the still depressed Seifer, who sat, now silently on his left. Xavier suddenly, speaking through telepathy, commanded them into silence. [B]Xavier:[/B] It is time to decide on a team leader, and a second in command, because I believe we need some sort of order. I will base my choice on several things. Today you will all face a trial by fire, a series of tests to demonstrate your control and abilities. Also, I will take into account each of your opinions on who should be the best leader. At this, all of them looked about, trying to decide on who the best leader would be. Decision making intelligence lied mainly within Andrew, where-as the most obvious leaders were Sil and Seifer... but there was an air of mystery about the new Craig, a depth behind his deep yellow eyes that demanded respect, and made them all think deeply about the proper leader. [B]Xavier:[/B] The first challenge will be in the danger room itself... you simply have to avoid being hit... without attacking anything yourself. There were a few gasps and gawks amongst the group. Some of them were seriously going to have to adapt for this challenge, as they had based their powers solely on attacking upto now. [B]Xavier:[/B] Would anyone like to volunteer to go first? There was a few moments of silence, everyone looked about, anticipating Sil to stand... but as she pressed her arms onto the chair arms to pull herself up, the new boy, Craig, stood up, his tail swaying behind him. [B]Craig:[/B] I'll go... The room went quiet, as they all stared at Craig. His decision had brought a smile from Andrew, who was the only person at the moment who knew anything in detail about him. Sil shrugged, and flopped back down into her chair happily; it was about time someone else set an example. Xavier looked at Craig, and allowed his mind to slip into Craig's. He was very surprised, he saw complete calm, but also, a very competitive drive. He realised then, that this new boy was going to complete for the leader spot. Xavier smiled, this was going to be interesting. [B]Xavier:[/B] Very well Craig.

Yoda Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 Sorry guys, but I'm stopping this RPG. It is just a bit too screwed up for anyone's tastes, and very few people are posting. I do, however, encourage everyone to join my new RPG "X Men: Mutant Hunters", which, I promise, will be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
