THE MUTANTS AMONG US MEME




Evolution strives. For thousands of years, humans, homo sapien sapiens have been the King of Beasts on Earth. However, shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the public became aware of a new kind of species: homo sapien dominus - the Mutants.

Mutants are born the same as any other human, usually with no discernable differences. However, come the age of puberty, their genetic mutation becomes pronounced. This grants them one or several abilities, some more extreme than others. It may alter their form. Unfortunately, these powers rarely present themselves in a form that can be controlled without careful honing.

Governments everywhere quarreled over the issue of mutant rights. Were they still considered humans? Should there be a demand that they be registered? One thing was certain: mutants held within them the potential to be very dangerous. Whether or not they would excise their powers responsibly, there was still the possibility of them challenging the system upon which humanity had so carefully (and sometimes shakily) regulated.

While politics rage, mutants themselves seek a way to survive within society.



INSTRUCTIONS;


1.] Post with your character name, canon, etc, in the title. As a change-up, list whether or not they are a MUTANT or HUMAN as well. If this point can be conditional, please simply put "Either". ( Character Name | Fandom | (Mutant, Human, Either) | (POWER if Mutant) | (Interation Preffs) )

2.] If you wish, include in your post the explanation/extent of powers, faction preferences, (if human) opinion on mutants, universe preferences, etc.

3.] You may choose to write up a scenario if you already have one in mind, but it isn't required. If you DO write up a scenario, and are open to playing out a different one for those tagging in, please include a star (*) in your title.

4.] Go forth and tag others! There are FOUR sections you can take advantage of while rolling for prompts: 1) Human or Mutant; 2) Timeframe (with AU scenarios); 3) Faction Scenarios (Mutant and Human); 4) Mixed Scenarios (Mutant to/vs Human)

5.] Some of these prompts, especially concerning cross-faction things, may require OOC discussion beforehand. DO NOT BE AFRAID to talk it out with your potential partner before starting a scene! Pre-plotting is so very encouraged, although not necessary!

6.] Please note that you are required to roll for nothing. Prompts are only available for fun/the indecisive. Obviously play fair and have fun!

PROMPTS;


Briefly, here's how to work this thing for the COMPLETELY INDECISIVE.
First, roll for Mutant or Human:
~ Mutant -> Roll Timefame -> Roll Mutant Faction -> (If Mutant/Mutant) Roll Faction Scenario ; (If Mutant/Human) Roll Mixed Scenario
~ Human -> Roll Timeframe -> Roll Human Faction -> (If Human/Human) Roll Faction Scenario; (If Mutant/Human) Roll Mixed Scenario


SPECIES (1-2)

1.) Mutant. You are a member of the human race which has a mutated gene. That gene grants you a power and/or change of appearance, however great or small.

2.) Human. You are a normal human (or maybe you're a bit abnormal, but your abnormality does not put you in the class of mutant that we're talking about) living in a world where people with seemingly supernatural abilities exist.


Timeframe (1-10)

1.) Mutants Exist But are Unknown. Any time pre-1960's. Ancient Greece? World War I or II? Mutants exist, but they are unknown for what they truly are: a genetic evolution. Possibly their powers have registered them among the people as a god... or a witch.

2.) 1962: Mutants are Discovered. The Cuban Missile Crisis ended with a shocking display. A submarine was raised from the depths of the ocean. Russians and Americans, previously on the brink of nuclear war, look on in horror as fighting erupts on the nearby island, among jet and submarine wreckage. Turning their sights upon the unknown threat, the war ends as the US and Soviets come to the agreement to annihilate it together. Their missiles are returned to the sea. Foreign leaders everywhere announce the ceasefire... and divulge the presence of superhumans among the public. So far, it is unknown how they will be treated, but families are advised to note the presence of these people to their local governments.

3.) 1960's: Post-Cuba. Both the Xavier Institute for the Gifted and The Brotherhood of Mutants are in their developmental stages and recruiting for their differing goals. Local factions are erected in the community to support and/or teach their own mutants. Political debates wage and parents are finally aware of what the strange nature of their children means, meeting the knowledge with degrees of hostility or wariness both. For now, most governments HIGHLY ADVISE mutant registration, but it is not law. Mutants are still allowed in public schools at discretion, due to the nature their powers may grant them.

4.) 1970-1990's. Same as the above, only with the considerations of advancement in technology and other historical feats (some now mutant-flavored?). Mutants gain representation within the government. Several mutant extremists perform acts against the governments.

5.) 2006: The Cure. Using a gene from a mutant with the power to surpress all other mutant abilities, a "cure" was manufactured for those mutants who wished to become normal human beings. And it works - it reverts mutants, however extreme, into humans. This cure begins as a voluntary offering to mutantkind, but with a resulting uproar and attack on the Alcatraz research facility, began being used as a punishment by the government against mutants who used violent force. (Note: These events taken from X-Men: The Last Stand)

6.) 2006-2020: War. The Cure spurns and outright war between humans and radical mutants. Mutants become a force to be feared, reviled, and regulated among humans. They are forced to pick sides by either registering with the local government or joining a mutant resistance cause. Great chaos reigns. It is discovered that the cure varies on how long it lasts. (Note: The end results of X-Men: The Last Stand may be enforced or not.)

7.) 2020: Mutant Subjugation. The Mutant Brotherhood and the X-Men both are crippled by the losses of its leaders to the point where humans have overwhelmed the mutants. Mutants are now considered sub-class and are allowed to live only in specific districts, usually separated from humans. They are used only for certain jobs or weapons within the military and are regulated with the use of a special device (collars, bracelets, chips, w/e suits you) and are generally marked in some way (again, tattoos, chips, w/e). Humans are allowed to treat mutants as lesser creatures, such as pets or slaves, though this is not mandatory, and killing mutants is illegal outside of acts of self-defense or government action Human/Mutant marriage is not allowed, and technically neither is romantic relations, though the latter is more a taboo than an actual law. Mutant children are separated from their parents if no mutant is present within it and given to a foster family. A Permanent Cure is manufactured. Resistance/Criminality is met with the stripping of powers via the cure to acts of execution. It is illegal to hold meetings between mutants over a certain number. Still... a resistance broils.

8.) 2020: Mutualism. The war ends with a treaty being made between mutants and humans. Mutants are granted equal rights as humans, with special regulations inflicted upon them so that they do not infringe an advantage over the humans. Punishments include misdemeanor fees, imprisonment, basically the same as what humans can expect from law enforcement, with the notable twist that lesser sentence may be given if the mutant forfeits their powers via the cure. Depending on criminal history extent, the cure may be enforced anyway, though this is seen as the highest form of punishment. Human/Mutant marriage and Mutant/Mutant marriage is allowed. Registration is encouraged, but not enforced unless joining the military. Peace and co-existence.

9.) 2020: Human Subjugation. The war ends with The Mutant Brotherhood and other pro-mutant causes like it overpowering the humans. This is the reverse of 'Mutant Subjugation', where humans are the ones separated from major society into their own homeland. They are allowed to more freely mingle with the mutant community for working purposes, but they live separately in certain districts and are visibly marked for what they are in some way. Mutants are allowed to treat humans as lesser creatures, such as pets or slaves, though this is not mandatory, and killing humans is illegal outside of acts of self-defense or government action. Human/Mutant marriage is not allowed, and technically neither is romantic relations, though the latter is more a taboo than an actual law. Mutant children are separated from their parents if no mutant is present within it and given to a foster family. The Cure is the major punishment to mutants who betray their own kind or have proved themselves too irresponsible, though it may vary in the less potent cure (1-5 years powerless) to Permanent (fully human forever).

10.) Age of Apocalypse. A being called Apocalypse has arrived and has turned most of the Earth to wasteland, or is in the process of doing so. Humans and mutants band together to try to combat this powerful enemy and protect each other, constructing new communities/civilizations for themselves and trying to rebuild their razed planet. Consider this sort of like an Old West/Post-Apocalypse scenario in that there is not a lot of technology to be had and bandits/outlaws/gunslingers/arms-dealers/bounty-hunters are everywhere.


MUTANT FACTIONS (1-5)

1.) Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted. Ages 10-18 Students. This is a school converted from an enormous mansion in Westchester, NY, originally a family estate of Charles Xavier (AKA Professor X). Professor X is a powerful telepath who can locate mutants all over the world. He, or his agents (the X-Men) come to mutant children to offer them a place of acceptance and a chance to learn how to control their powers. The goal of the school is the following: teach rudimentary academics that would be offered in public schooling, teach mutant children how to control their powers (as opposed to letting their powers control THEM) in a safe environment, and teach the morality/responsibility that comes with being a mutant. Special care has been made to keep the school's true purpose a secret: the government and most parents simply think they've sent their child to boarding/prep school.

2.) Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Ages 14-18 for TRAINING/RECRUITMENT ONLY. Missions at discretion, but usually 18+ for operatives. The Brotherhood was founded and is headed by a powerful, magnokinetic mutant called Magneto and a handful of like-minded mutants. Mutants of the Brotherhood believe themselves to be the superior species over the humans, but their acts change over time. They are the major extremist faction of the mutant world. The main goal of The Brotherhood is to teach mutants to defend themselves against humans, and prepare for the very likely possibility of war. However, their actions and missions have ranged between espionage (getting into the government and other places for spying) to extreme acts (like trying to convert a congregation of leaders into mutants - at the cost of a mutant life and not knowing that the process would actually kill the aforementioned humans). The Brotherhood recruits from the world (with less accuracy than Xavier, usually collecting imprisoned mutants) as well as the Xavier Institute through covert methods. So it's very possible you can be working with The Brotherhood while going to school... but you're not allowed to announce it (for fear of expulsion) or go on missions until you're deemed to have the proper proficiency. The Brotherhood is starkly against harming other mutants unless in the case of self-defense or the sake of a mission, but the killing of humans is less frowned upon. Operatives of The Brotherhood adopt a Mutant Name (ex: Magneto, Mystique, Pyro) in order to separate them from humankind (their "slave name"; ex: Raven Darkholme). They have several bases all over the world, usually in abandoned facilities, caves, etc.

3.) The X-Men. 18+ Operatives, with discretion. The X-Men are Prof. X's special team of mutants (most commonly his students) who are a force of justice for the world. They use their powers to settle conflicts or combat against extremist mutant attacks. The Brotherhood is their notable enemy, but they have a no-killing policy (save for extreme circumstances).

4.) Local Faction/Government. A mutant community that has been made in your local area. They may be activists, teachers, or simply a support group. Politics vary here. Make your own little gangs! More rarely, you could actually be in the government to act as a mutant representative in some capacity.

5.) Unaffiliated. Maybe you're a lone wolf with no plans to join any political agenda. Maybe you just have a small cluster of friends to fall back on. You're lead by no one, and culpable to no one but yourself and your local government. Or you could be a criminal, or a lone activist. The choice is up to you!


HUMAN FACTIONS (1-5)

1.) Government. You work for your local or federal or national government. Your political views of mutants may vary, but you follow the law (or maybe you enforce your own law within them, Kojack...?).

2.) Anti-Mutant. Mutants are an abomination. Or they're too dangerous not to be controlled. You want to enforce a lot of regulations on mutants to protect humans. Your activism may vary.

3.) Pro-Mutualism. You believe in equality between mutants and humans, and want to work together with them. Or maybe you would rather a separate but equal sort of deal?

4.) Pro-Mutant. You see mutants as the future. You may want to help mutants get their rights. You might wish to find a way to be a mutant yourself. Most extremely, maybe you see mutants as your rightful lords and masters, the inheritors of the Earth? Your activism may vary.

5.) Unaffiliated/Student. You really just don't care about the politics, or not enough to get involved in groups. All you care about is the rights/safety of yourself and your loved ones. (Note: You can be a student with any of the above political views too.)


MUTANT FACTION SCENARIOS (1-10)

1.) Discussion. Probably having to do with morality of mutants, politics, etc. You are having a talk about your views, whatever they may be. This may be a class thing, a way to pass the time, a debate, a getting to know you, etc.

2.) Training/Class. Simply to learn how to control your powers or in preparation for a mission. Maybe you're sparring? Or maybe one of you is the teacher and the other the student? Maybe you're both in a class together? This is the time to learn.

3.) Downtime. Just hanging out with the other person, meeting them for the first time, between classes, etc. This is a time for simple interaction... or maybe a date night? You're simply doing something in the company of one another, apart from political agendas.

4.) Into the City/Travel. You go out together or meet in a place intermingled with humans. Do you bond or hate each other? Will you be recognized as mutants by the humans or blend in seamlessly? Or maybe this is a place you've never visited before. How do you feel about it?

5.) Persecution. In some way, you've been facing negative responses. From your parents? Human strangers? Bullying from humans or your own kind? You're being punished in some way for being simply what you are. How do you take it?

6.) Mission. You've been given a mission and the two of you are working together in some way (or even fighting against each other).

7.) Faction Meeting. You're both in a faction meeting, listening to the leader and talking quietly amongst yourself, dealing with it in your own manner. There may be a break for a discussion or administering chores/missions, etc.

8.) Partnered. For whatever reason, the two of you have been partnered. Maybe it's as simple as getting a roommate, or maybe it's for an upcoming mission. This can be in the beginning stages or later on.

9.) Initiation/Recruitment. One or both of you are being asked to join a faction by its operatives (maybe one of you is the recruiter). Or you're entering into a faction and need to prove your worth in some way in order to join.

10.) Wildcard. Roll for the above prompts, a mixture, or make up your own!


HUMAN FACTION SCENARIOS (1-10)

1.) Discussion. Probably having to do with morality of mutants, politics, etc. You are having a talk about your views, whatever they may be. This may be a class thing, a way to pass the time, a debate, a getting to know you, etc.

2.) Training. If you're within a faction that uses force, you're training your physical or mental properties. Could be school. Could be prep for a rights debate.

3.) Downtime. Just hanging out with the other person, meeting them for the first time, between classes, etc. This is a time for simple interaction... or maybe a date night? You're simply doing something in the company of one another, apart from political agendas.

4.) Into the City/Travel. You're going out together. Interacting with mutants is a high possibility. What will you do together? What will you see?

5.) Persecution/Attack. In some way, you've been facing negative responses. Bullying from mutants or your own kind? You're being punished in some way for being simply what you are. Are you in the middle of an extremist attack together? How do you both take it?

6.) Mission. You've been given a mission and the two of you are working together in some way (or even fighting against each other).

7.) Faction Meeting. You're both in a faction meeting or convention, listening to the leader/speaker and talking quietly amongst yourself, dealing with it in your own manner. There may be a break for a discussion or administering chores/missions, etc.

8.) Partnered. For whatever reason, the two of you have been partnered. Maybe it's as simple as getting a roommate, or maybe it's for an upcoming mission. This can be in the beginning stages or later on.

9.) Initiation. One or both of you are being asked to join a faction by its operatives (maybe one of you is the recruiter). Or you're entering into a faction and need to prove your worth in some way in order to join.

10.) Wildcard. Roll for the above prompts, a mixture, or make up your own!


MIXED SCENARIOS (1-10)

1.) Discovery. One of you just found out the other one is a mutant, on purpose or accident. Maybe it's a sort of 'coming-out' you didn't quite expect? Or did you? You've probably known this person for a little while. How do you react?

2.) Manifestation. One (or both) of you come into your mutant powers and pays witness to the other. Is it a traumatic show or a LOOK WHAT I TOTALLY JUST DID, IT'S REALLY COOL DOOD trick? Usually mutant powers show up at puberty, but it can be earlier or later, too. How do you take this? Are you okay, or are your parents going to kill you?

3.) Show of Power. The mutant is showing their power, either for good, evil, or on accident. Maybe they're just showing off? Do they mean to intimidate? Conversely, the human could be brandishing a weapon, threatening to get the authorities, a capability that they've learned, etc. Is this a pissing contest or something fun/interesting?

4.) Conversation. You're chatting each other up and getting to know one another. What do you personally think of this issue? What's your power like? Do you ever feel like...? Or this could be an argument of views.

5.) Conflict/Competition. You've gotten into a fight or are in competition for something, depending on how friendly you do or don't want this to be. Are you keeping it to an equal level, or is the mutant using their power to get ahead. Is that really considered cheating if they were born this way?

6.) Work Together and/or Play Together. For whatever reason, you're working together. Maybe you actually work together in a corporate fashion, or have decided to work together for some common goal. Maybe you're at a recreational event (convention, dancing, bar, etc) and really hit it off? Whether or not it's divulged that one of you are mutants is up to you.

7.) Distress. Something has happened that has distressed one or both of you. Maybe you've been hurt, maybe you're under duress. Maybe one or both of you have been trapped. Do you help each other, do you make it worse, or are you the cause? Depression - is one of you a therapist here?

8.) Friends OR (Forbidden/Taboo) Lovers. You're friends, either old or new, or you've decided to date/become lovers for better or worse. While Human/Mutant friendships are acceptable and not TOO strange (depending on your timeline), actual romantic relationships DO tend to seem taboo or gross to either side (mostly humans). Hang out together, go on dates, do the do if it pleases you... Explore how you feel when challenged by the world. Or maybe you've been living under the lie that you're both human...

9.) Persecution. Either one of you is bullying the other, or one or both of you are paying witness to this sort of thing. Prejudice, even in paradise, can still exist.

10.) Wild Card.

victor frankenstein | frankenstein [modern au] | preferably mutant

[personal profile] pyr 2013-05-22 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
mutant name| prometheus.

- death inducement.
- resurrection.

- born to a wealthy, human family, victor's mutation peaks at age seventeen when he accidently kills his mother with his touch. fortunately, her cause of death is mistaken as cancer and victor leaves for university soon after. he leaves the university after two years to focus on his mutation and how to rid of it. while studying the dead body of a mutant (who had super strength and stamina), victor accidently brings him back to life. personality wise, he's cold, distant, and always wears gloves. while this can be perceived as pride and arrogance, victor just doesn't want to hurt anyone or anything. he sees his mutation as a curse (rightfully so) and works to find a cure.

- victor is not a violent man; he doesn't want to kill people. he only wants peace. so, he'd be on charles xavier's side. whenever is fine, but i'd prefer if the setting is 1960s.

scenarios| i'm open to any of 'em. though, i do ask for no shipping please. victor has enough angst on his plate without worrying whether or not he'll kill someone he loves.

born human instead| same like the book, but victor is searching for the gene that causes mutation. in the process, he brings a man back to life. he's pro-mutant.

NOTE; i will be setting this in modern day, if only so everything meshes better.

mutant name; abe (i honestly cannot think of a better one.)

- enhanced condition (i.e. super strength, super stamina, etc.)

- born in a log cabin in kentucky then moved to illinois as a young teenager, his mutation is actually revered by his community, who sees it more as a result of a lifetime working on a farm. currently studying to become a lawyer.

- he will be on charles xavier's side. whenever time is fine.

scenarios; i'm fine with whatever.

born human instead; same as above. even though abe's human, he still has crazy strength (cos that's absolutely a historic fact) but that's mainly due to him growing up on a farm. he's sympathetic to the plight of mutants after witnessing the injustices they face. after becoming a lawyer, he goes into politics and speaks for rights for the mutants. eventually, he becomes president and a little war happens because of his pro-mutant policies. spoiler; after winning this war, abraham lincoln is assassinated on april 14 by anti-mutant actor, james wilkes booth.

((ooc: Pyro's still in the school at this point, but showing obvious discontent.))

[He sits with the other students and watches as their new teacher (and of course, the newest member of the X-Men) is introduced, but he's considerably more interested than the rest. The teenage rumor mill has it that she's come from the Brotherhood, a direct convert from Magneto's terrorist organization, and that gets his attention. The Brotherhood are like Xavier's dark family secret - always present in every conversation, the elephant in the room, but never addressed directly with students around.

He's hoping he can worm a little bit more information out of her once the crowds have died down. Find out what the Brotherhood, and Magneto, are really like. If it's worth giving up this cushy but utterly unsatisfying life to get something real done in the fight against humans.

He approaches her once the introductions are over, acting every bit the innocent, curious student, but the light in his eyes is hard to ignore.]


Welcome to Xavier's. You got something we should call you, or is it just Ms. Song?

[ a human with a serum;;

following the rise of mutants through society, there have been a lot of humans that want to destroy them - and a lot of humans who want to become them. Augustus Sinclair has masterminded a way to make someone a mutant with a serum that literally rewrites someone's genetic code, giving a person anywhere from telekinesis to the ability to create fire with a snap of their fingers. naturally, he's made a crapload of money from it.

there are rumours he's involved somehow in the government; there are rumours he's somehow working towards some sort of mutant end-game. somewhere deeper and darker, however, there are rumours his wonderful serum is yielding a lot of corpses and even more unstable, violent and disturbingly physically mutated psychopaths...

most scenarios are fine by me; feel free to free-form with his set-up.

pyrokinesis - the psionic ability to manipulate flame by shaping it as desired, increasing or decreasing its heat, intensity, and size.

you know how he do. a supremacist and a terrorist, an all around conflicted guy.

can be pre-X2 at the institute, or post-X2, with the Brotherhood. also accepting unusual future circumstances in which either side wins or wars, wherein he may be on his own, or AUs.

[So, there's this new girl at school and as it is in pretty much any school, there are rumors flying around about him. Rumors which she neither confirms nor denies and instead smirks at and continues on with...whatever it was she was doing at the time.

Those rumors? They're pretty dark.

She's the offspring of two humans-turned-mutates and the result of a science experiment done ages ago, before she was born.

Her ability kicked in at 6 weeks of age.

She spent a year and a half on the run and then another year and a half at some undisclosed government laboratory before escaping quite explosively.

All of this is true, but she doesn't tell anyone. And she's not at the school to learn to control her ability. She's had that down for years. She's here because, rumor has it, those government scientists are still after her.

So now, she's sitting slightly away from the mass of students during a break in their field trip. Her lunch is mostly eaten and now she just sits with her can of cherry Coke, reading through one of several pamphlets on Van Gogh with mild amusement.]


They spelled his name wrong. Twice. You'd think the person meant to spell check this stuff was out sick that day.

[Holy crap, she actually used words. She hardly answers questions in class. What's going on?]

((which places him at 15 in my headcanon, jsyk))

[He is far from the slicked-hair, leather jacket wearing fashion plate (or whatever you'd call his look) when he arrives at Xavier's. In fact, he looks more like this (albeit with shoes) - clothes oversized and torn, hair a bedraggled mess, eyes hard and defensive as he takes everything in.

John first spots the blue-eyed, curly-haired guy during his tour, when a group of students passes by them and stops en masse to stare as John and the Professor walk past. None of them seem to get the idea - or the force behind John's glare - until that one finally speaks up and urges them along.

It makes an impression, although John's not sure what kind. Is the guy just polite? Embarrassed for John? Or does he actually have some sense?

He's finally dropped off at the door to his new room, his single backpack of belongings having been left there earlier, and he braces himself before taking the doorknob and turning it. A roommate. Some normal kid, probably here under the "gifted youngsters" title, who hasn't been living on the streets for nearly four years. Another one who'll stare at him like he's dirty (sort of is), he stinks (sort of does), he's somehow brought the squalor of his life into Xavier's and infected the pristine mansion.

Clenching his jaw, he opens the door.]

Power| Control over local weather, stronger over the ocean. Un-aging.

A former sailor in the British Navy during Victria's time, Arthur's power was discovered by his superiors when his ship was caught in a firefight with a pair of French ships. To save his ship and the lives of his crew, he summoned a storm that sank both ships yet left his own untouched. He was brought before the queen and swore an oath to secretly serve her and her people for as long as he lived. It's unknown how old he actually is, as he hasn't aged a day since.

Scenarios| Fairly open, prefer to play mixed.

((pyro is pre-X2: not Brotherhood, still a dick.))

[He's got the window open because it's a hot, stuffy day, and Bobby's busy with class, so there's no one around to bring the temperature down in their room. Honestly, he would be trying to study, but boring things somehow become intolerable on a day like today.

And that's when a gust of wind rips through the window, blowing all of his papers clean across the room and otherwise wreaking havoc on whatever remained of his good intentions. Not a cloud in the sky, so it can't be Storm; that only leaves one other option. The dork he shares a name with.

Well, codenames are there for a reason, aren't they?]


Zephyr! [He shouts out the window, scanning the grounds for some sign of the messy-haired, bespectacled mutant.] You know you're the reason they don't let us practice our powers outside of training, right?

Code name: Firestarter
Ability: Pyrokinetics. She can start fires with a thought and control the fire she creates.


If she's a student, she's not at the school to learn control. She's had that for ages. She's at Xavier's for her own safety and thinks its a stupid idea. Former street kid. Orphan. Loner.

If she's in with the Brotherhood, she's going to attempt to stay in the background.

[Their last "accidental" outburst had been a mistake. They'd both been spotted by those on the lookout for them, their pictures plastered on the news with details of the strange fire, and it had driven them even deeper into hiding.

Still, despite all that, it was Magneto who found them in the end. Suspicious fires and kids their age hiding out - not too hard for him to figure out the rest of the details. They were welcomed into the Brotherhood, which was amassing members after the announced "Cure" hit the streets.

They stand together in the woods, hand in hand, listening to one of Magneto's rallying speeches; Pyro (no longer John, not since meeting Magneto) has got a feverish light in his eyes, a smile like he's finally found the true meaning of home, but he spares Charlie a glance during a brief lull.]


This is it. This is what I wanted.

[Pyro's not that sure about the new kid. He doesn't seem to be able to do anything, but like with Dr. Grey (or Phoenix, or whatever she's called now), Magneto insists he's got great promise.

Dr. Grey killed the Professor. That's promise. This kid just looks like a sulky brat.

Pyro approaches him during one of the long blocks of downtime out in the woods, sitting beside him and giving him a speculative look.]


So what do you do, anyway?

This was, by River's measure, the worst idea she had ever had.

Well, no. Second worst, really, though was The Academy really her idea? Arguable. Either way, here she is, in a building that is more mausoleum than house than school though she can feel in the dust covered corners where it is trying to be all of these things. She doesn't think she can help a lonely house be anything but lonely, much in the same way that she doesn't think she can help anyone.

Yet, coming here was her idea. She'd convinced Simon to agree even after all of his misgivings, his fears that one boarding school would be just like the other and even if it wasn't, even if he believed her when she said that no one was going to try and hurt her here, it was just so far. Her brother, the doctor, wanted to treat and cure and protect his sister but he didn't know how.

These people had a bit of a better chance. Then again, River hadn't explained that part at all. Her powers had been their secret before The Academy, but this house holds the secrets of too many people and River isn't ready to explain whether or not her brother is ready to hear it.

The point is to get better. To learn control, to learn how to function with her half-shattered mind the way it is now. There are parts missing and those parts probably can't be returned, and she does love learning, but this was a bad idea. A bad idea because three days in it started to snow, and she'd never seen snow before, and screamed bloody murder. A bad idea because instead of properly answering the history question she'd been asked in the class of fifteen yesterday she'd answered the quantum physics question someone was asked in the next room, and got blank stares and giggles as a response.

A bad idea because she is not going to get better.

So while the rest of the students run around and play in the snow she stands in her small room, solitary, watching from a window as she lets the snow quietly pile on her hair until she has to shake it off. Every so often someone looks up and she pulls back into the room quickly until they are occupied by other things. Snowball fights are still battlefield games, and the last time she participated someone got a broken nose as a result of her terrifying aim.

Better that she stays in here, away from everyone. Better isolated than trying to fit in, be 'normal', be a functioning whole mutant of a girl.

Coming here was the worst idea but it was also the only idea. If this doesn't help, what will? If she can't function here, where can she?

[Much like Wolverine in the first X-men movie, the young troll got into trouble, passed out, and woke up in a strange place with X's worked into the decor to an excessive degree. Unlike Wolverine, he isn't really trying to escape without being seen like some kind of maple syrup anti-smuggling agent.

He's been wandering the halls looking for some kind of explanation or someone to run away from, horns sparking just a tiny bit. Unfortunately, he's now caused a really huge crash as he knocks over a planter]
