Schools For New Mutants

[JediKnight]

Esper

I watched the two of them leave the room as the Professor began to speak. She seemed all right now, so I decided to let it go. It was probably none of my business anyway.

I headed to the east wing and took the first empty room I could find. After unpacking, I lay down on my bed and tried to just relax. It was good to be alone for a while. It wasn't that I didn't like people, just that, with my powers, I always felt like I was invading their privacy. It was easier to keep in check with no one around. But even now, alone in my room, things came to me. I could see what some of the other students were doing, what they were thinking. Someone just down the hall had finished settling in and was heading down to the gardens, while another was talking to the professor.

As these thoughts went through my head, I must have dozed off. Then the nightmares started again. I tossed and turned, occasionally talking or shouting in my sleep, as I was plagued by the dark, subconscious thoughts of everyone around me.
(OOC: this will be explained later)

[Weevil]

It seemed like everyone had settled in so I quietly tip toed to the room I had been assigned. I step in and am blown away. Oak furniture, beautifully painted walls and lots of light and closet space.

"This place is much nicer than the Dorm." I smile, recalling the last few years of my life. All that was behind me, now. I was now a student at a school where I could learn to control the headaches, Make them work for the good of humanity. Needless to say, I was excited.

Unpacking my stuff, I put away all 8 identical sets of clothing, The few textbooks I've held on to and my collection of Happy Meal toys. Hmmmmm, The room doesn't seem to have any books. Maybe there's a library some where. I could brush up on my theoretical Physics. Maybe I'll go chat with the Prof.

I turn out the door and try to find the Profs office.

Drill Instructor JayDen aka White Queen's assistant reporting for duty

As I watched from the monitor room I saw as Emma began ushering her new pupils in. Thinking back to when I was their age memories of black ops and mercenary/ assassainations jobs flashed through my mind. These kids are probably along the line in development I was at their age. If that is the case then they are going to realize early that there is a long road ahead of them.

I stroked my beard and switched the camera so I could get a close up of each of them one by one. Taking out a small note pad I began to jot down some ideas to help them along their way.

Martin Brumels aka Nitemare- His power include falling asleep and entering others dreams by forcing them to pass out as well. Also at times while unconsious he actually simulates the dreams into reality or at least that is going to be a possible manifestation of his powers. Another interesting development is Martin comes from a normal family and has not been completely scared by the homo sapiens. Possible manifestation: Creating the dream images into reality. However for now I think Emma using her telepathy to help him control his dream abilities

The Changeling Chans- This student could be a extremely interesting find is I can somehow manage to tutor all the different personalities on how to control their abilities. There is only problem. Ms. Chan is not aware that there are other personalities in her head and all of them have different and powerful abilities. Now if we just simply told her about the personalities that might put the girl into shock and driving her into a coma. No the smart thing is to do is to tutor the personalities on an individual basis and when the control is reached then we will reveal the truth to her and try to have her control all the abilities under one personality

Eddie Deadeye- The boy appears to have the power of telepathy that manifest when eye contact is made. As precaution I better train Mr. Deadeye while wearing sunglasses and starring at the floor rather that using my own siphoning powers risking a blackout for the poor child.

Vincent or Parasite- This child has been scared by society. At times he has been used and abuse by homo sapiens. His powers make him almost invulnerable. He does not possess much offense skill yet but instead knows only how to use his powers in a defensive mold. Note to self: Teach how to use his invulenerability as a weopon. After all one whose bones rarely break must have hard strong bones to begin with. Another alternative to teach him some sort of kickboxing or martial art to futher his offensive training.

Aenas Duplaix- He is the boy I rescue from the mob in the alley. His powers are telepathy and telekenetic nature. He has the potential to be on par with Jean Grey as far as powers are concerned. He does not have the imposing form that Vincent does have. Instead he has a smaller built more like a runner than a powerhouse. He could possibly use that to his advantage. He also has above average intelligence. Note to self: try teaching him how to become more offense minded in a similar manner as teaching Vincent. Also I better ask Emma to help him hone his telepathy, because the poor boy has seemingly blocked that power out as far as I can tell and mental walls are not my field of expertise. I see the boy has also shaven head while in the hospital. HMM I wonder if I had anything to do with that.

While I contemplated on how to work with our new students, I watched the how Emma operated with smooth graceful motions. I wonder if she ever really realized that I had sort of a crush on her since she saved my life in that battle against Sebastion Shaw.

Rubbing my hand over my bald head I made my way over to closet and began to get dressed to meet the new students later. They have to learn while Emma is going to be their teacher, I have to assume the role as thier drill instructer

 

[Angelus]

Joseph looked at everyone and wondered what the hell he was even doing here. He knew that he had some sort of gift but he wondered what the hell he was doing in this place at this time.

 

[Inkubus]

Vincent

Vincent went straight to his room and unpacked. Juding by the amount of belongings he had it did not take long. once his room was squared away and ready for inspection he changed into a jumpsuit and went to look for practice facilities.

 

[mfucker]

Angel:

My thoughts were interrupted by a voice in my head. It was calm and soothing, unlike the other voices that I sometimes here swirling in my head. It was the Professor. He had finally spoken to me, to us.

Somehow, I was not the least shocked about this little telepathy. Remember my entire day was just as eventful already.

I went over to the west wing, picked the first room I saw along the corridor and went in. I was exhausted.

I collapsed on the bed immediately, with my original set of white blouse and skirt still on. They were dirty from my earlier ordeal, but cleanliness was not the first thing on my mind....zzzzz

OOC: you can call upon me when the rest of the mutants are done. seems like most of them have queries for you.

 

[peterpan]

Eddie Deadeye

There is a prickling between my shoulderblades. Someone else's eyes are on me. Not someone here. Without thinking my eyes sweep towards the source. There, a tiny camera. Out of the corner of my eye where the glasses don't cover.

Contact.

I know what they are thinking. I know what they think of me. But they got me wrong. I don't need to see their eyes, they just need to see mine, looking at them. You see my eyes and you will realise they were there all along, staring at the back of your head. You look inward. The feedback scream carries us both away. A polaroid of me can almost do it. A live feed does.

For three seconds I am frozen staring at the pinhole, stuck in the other guy's head. "Forget it" I hiss through clenched teeth. I push that thought out with all my strength and the contact is suddenly broken. It worked. It actually worked. The mark doesn't faint this time. He just forgets me and his next thought before his gaze moves on is about someone called Parasite.

I look around. Noone appears to have noticed. But I know something about this place that they don't. I wonder if there are cameras on the watchers too?

Stuff it. I don't need help training my powers. I just proved that to myself. I don't need peoples eyes on me. I turn around and walk back the way I came.

OOC: And with that fit of extreme teenage angst I'll bow out. Too many guys and suddenly everything is this weird competition that I never understood the rules of. ps the details of my ability were hinted at here and detailed in the "Mutants (non x-man)" thread; um.. so this is in character. A turning point even

 

[TrippingBilly]

I heard the professor's voice in my head, it sounded clear as day and startled the shit out of me. I had never seen a mutant ability like this. I gathered that he could read thoughts and speak to us telepathicly...what else could he do? I shrugged it off and made my way to the boy's wing. I wasn't too hot about the whole sex-segregated rooms, but hey, that wasn't gonna stop me from sneaking to the girl's wing at night. I finally found a room that wasn't occupied and threw my bag on the floor. I sprawled myself onto the bed and closed my eyes, finally...sleep.

 

[Isolde]

Emma Frost

OOC: Now to do a bit of damage control and peterpan (Eddie) I would love you to stay as my school is extremely short of people but if you dont want to I can understand and thank you for making an appearance. Oh, did I mention that there is every possiblity that Emma will be giving private tutoring lessons?

IC: Emma froze as she picked up a disturbance. It had to do with one of the new students, Eddie. For a moment I looked into his mind and saw something very disturbing. I could see through his eyes, feel what he felt and I knew that, in my busy preparations, my new teacher had taken liberties that I had not authorized.

A frown creased my face and my eyes narrowed to slits. Well, the unlucky man would soon see that no one tried to take over Emma Frost's school without dire consequences. Closing my eyes and calming my mind, I concentrated on mentally finding Mr. Den. A preditory smile crossed my lips as I succeeded and soon the man found himself being pushed across the room and slammed into a wall.

Mentally I searched through his memory and got the locations for all of the 'spy' devices he had put into my school and suddenly he was not pinned anymore. Just as suddenly there were the sounds of many electrical devices shorting out and the power flickered for a moment and then steadied.

Turning my attention back onto my ex assistant, I let my voice boom into his consciousness. "Leave," My voice said, echoing through his mind,"And never darken my doorstep again. These students are under my protection and noone...noone shall ever treat them with anything but the utmost respect from now on." With that I gave a mental push out the front door and, the last I saw of him, he was running down the road that led to the school.

I had a self satisfied look on my face as I went into my room and sat down. My mental facilities were strained by the exertions but I was able to send Eddie the reasurring image of the man who had ment to control them running away and let him know that he was more than welcome to come back to the school now that it would be run my way once again.

 

[Angelus]

Joseph walked to his room and dumped his belongings on his bed then sniffed the air as there was something here that was not quite right. He looked around the room and it was then that he found the little tiny microphone. He picked it up and whistled loudly into it before he smiled then said, "Oh, very sorry. I didn't know that this was meant to be a secret."

He wondered how many other little things were in the room, watching and listening to him and suddenly felt like he needed to get out. He walked to his door and pulled it open then walked out of his room and into the hallway, bumping into one of the other students as he did. He looked at the person with a growl then walked straight past him to a window. Joseph looked out of the window and wanted to be out there then decided that he didn't need to stay and pulled the window open.

He then took a step back and with a graceful leap flew out of the window to the ground below. As soon as he landed Joseph took a deep breath of air and smiled, he wanted to be out here more than anything. He knew that he would be the solitary member of the group and he loved that as he was better when he was alone.

He came upon a tree and climbed up into it then found a branch that would hold him. He sat down on the tree and let one of his fingernails grow then slowly ran it across the bark of the tree, loving the sound as his fingernail cut a deep grove in it.

 

[Inkubus]

Damn Eddies Gone...

OOC...Darn I was kind of looking forward to rping with Ediie as an equal since im more of a puppy in the other thread;-)

Vincent Jogged across the grounds pushing himself further and harder hoping to somehow match up to the powerfull beings he was going to be working with, he saw Eddie storming out the doors and stopped...as Eddie headed off he argued within himself and finnaly gave in and yelled..."Eddie!!..." He pondered what hed say if the guy turned around maybe it was because he still had his gear with him, maybe it was because of the way he was storming out...but vincent finnaly had a home and he didnt like the idea of it falling apart so soon...

 

[mfucker]

OOC: eddie's right...where did all the guys come from?

Angel:

I walked along the west wing, and saw that there wasn't anybody else around. I might check out the east wing then.

The corridors were empty too, but a few doors were shut tightly. Somehow I could tell who was in which room, as I strolled down the long corridor...

 

[peterpan]

OOC: The thing about storming out petulantly...

OOC: Thanks Vincent, here is hoping you find a really impressive supervillans demise for me in the other thread. Thanks Isolde. Don't worry, you are onto a winner. Once the roles of both sides stabilise I am sure that there will be a stampede of conversions to address the imbalance long before your current students settle in. You and Neale only need discuss how to keep it orderly As for me I quite like following Eddies descent into total villany. Plotwise, the failures are what make the trying so important.

IC:___
Eddie was too proud to turn back. He took with him the image Ms Frost showed him. It warmed him, at first. That she had asked, that he had said no. At least he had his pride. At least, just once (in his mind) it was him that could be needed, and slap that need away.

Things would have turned out very differently if he had stayed. Much better for Eddie. This was made very apparent to him over the next few years. All caused by one decision of cruel pride. Easier to believe it had not truely been his choice at all. Ms Frost was one of the worlds strongest telepaths. She could have forced him back. She should have known precisely how his mind would react. She must have tricked him into leaving. She had thrown him out and twisted his mind into thinking it was his idea. QED.

When the troubles finally came and the rules became simple survival Eddie was not numbered amongst the heros of either school. Officially, he did not exist.

 

[Neale]

Professor X

Charles had just settled in behind his desk, when he sensed the approach of one of his new students. Politely, he waited for her to address him before answering, "Yes, Tara, how may I help you?"

 

[BadForm]

Cai Chan: The Teacher

Ahn-Dao had wandered the school until she had a good understanding of its layout. Then she had left to examine er findings. Thus, Cai came to. She was in a strange corridor, with several doors she had never seen before. The rooms had no labels on them, and when she tried one handle, she found it locked. She was too nervous to try opening any others and so headed out to a stairwell. She began to walk up the stairs and eventually cam to a landing. There stood Ms. Frost, currently looking out of the window as if studying something.

Cai coughed quietly, wanting to get her attention, yet too timid to speak. Ms. Frost turned to look at her and smiled. "Ah, Cai. How can I help you?"

"Um, sorry, miss," said Cai nervously. "I er, I think this is a school. But I don't know what I'm doing here. I mean, I dropped out of my old school and..." she shrugged and fell silent.

 

[Phoenix]

The Escaping Escobar starring a "The Voice of a Tampered Mind"

As I was "ushered" out thanks to Frost's telepathic proding. after walking about half a mile away. My mind suddenly returned to me. That bitch. A telepathic proding of that nature is sort of the same effect as being violently raped.

I quickly spun on my heels and walked back the Massachuets Academy draining and stockpiling bioenergys with every step. As I stood in front of the gates I glowed with energy. I focused a powerful energy blast and blew the gate down with little effort. I stalked to the door absorbing energy from the Academy defense mechanisms that attacked me. Once I felt I had a enough I destroy the things by focusing the energy through my eyes. Caving in the door I made my way upstairs to Frost private chamber. Using some of the stored bioenergy I had I melted the door and braced my mind with the psychic defenses I learned through my years as merc.

Once inside I saw the girl Chan and practically brushed her off without a thought. I stood in front of Emma Frost the woman that hired me here in the first place and with power leaking out of my eyes I knew that I was risking a total mind wipe if she wanted but I would be damned if I let some slut in a vasalined in leather corset do what she did mental by forcing my actions. While she stood in front of the windows with anger in her eyes to match my own I asserted myself and spoke before she got the chance to open her mouth.

"You mindwitch how dare you force me out? How dare you enter my mind and control my actions? How dare you mentally force you self upon you fucking cunt? I am JayDen fucking Escobar, and god dammit I did not deserve to have some mind witch invading my mind. All I tried to do was evaluate the students from an objectional point of view and you decide to play God and control my actions.

All I wanted to do was give these children a fighting chance to survive. As we speak the homo sapiens are out slaughtering their mutant brothers and sisters, their uncles their aunts, thier mothers and thier fathers all in the name of preservation of humanity. All I wanted to do was teach them and give the an opportunity to live without fear. The opportunity to walk down the street and not worry if the man next to them is going to run off and alert the Sentinels. All I wanted was for them to lead a life without the fear of being lynch just because they are different. I wanted so many things for these children that is why I helped seek them out for you. That is why I particapted in this schools foundling with you. But yet you turn around decide you have the right to control my actions. Damn you, you fucking mind whore. May you and yours suffer an eternity in the firey pits of hell."

With that I stalked out of the room and made my way to the door with the knowledge that I should have killed her while I had the chance. I should have used my powers to siphon hers and do the same to her.

Looking around the grounds I looked for some transportation out of there. I knew once Frost got her barrings she was going to not going to take my comments lightly. I noticed an ambulance to my far right. After making short work of the attendant and the driver, I commandeered the vehicle. Once I got passed the fried gates, I heard a moan in the back of the ambulance and saw the still unconsious young man I rescued from the alley Aenas Duplaix unconsous in the back. I silently wondered what was I going to do. After a few minutes of diliberation, I decide the boy was much safer with me that he would be that mind whore Frost or that doddering elderly man Xavier. Driving off into the sunset, I wondered what would the future bring to mutantkind and what could one man do to perserve his people. With these thoughts I made my way away from the place I once thought could be home with the stinging feeling of violation fresh on my recently tampered mind.

 

[Inkubus]

Vincent

OOC****Im not sure how to respond to Pheonix's post especially since Eddie ignored me and somehow even though phoenix doesnt like being ignored he totally ignored the fact I was standing in front of the building calling to one person and watching another storm past. also considering my powers it would have been interesting to say the least.
Oh well...

IC*******
Vincent watched 2 students. Both for diffrent reasons but both running from themselves... he realized no one truly noticed him...he began to doubt.. to doubt himself and his school..It was our first day and we had alreday had two leave. He felt hollow and hungry for safety , he had had everything he loved stripped from him and now that people had it good they were willing to throw it away...Vincent grew angry....so angry he couldnt see straight...he ran through the gardens and finaly into one of the walls that surrounded the grounds. He flew off like an insect attacking an automobile. He stood up angrier, he swung his fists at the wall for what seemed like hours but must have been only minutes. he collapsed exhausted and looked at his hands...he had not made a dent in the wall ...but there wasnt a scratch on him....secretly he dreamed of bleeding of what an amazing release that must feel like..somewhere within he found that bit of resolve that had kept him from giving up even when he had been made a slave.... he drew a deep ragged sigh and stood up and jogged back to his room for a shower.

 

[Weevil]

Hax

Walking down the hallways to the Proffessors office I stop and notice the artwork on the walls.

"Beautiful, some of the best french post-abstract work I've ever seen." I say out loud but then look around, hoping to spot someone who would catch my ultra intelligent remarks. Spotting no one to marvel at how smart I am I continue along my path, finally reaching the door to what I assume is his office.

"Professor? May I enter?" I say whilst knocking loudly on his door.

 

[mfucker]

OOC: going away for an entire week...apologise for any inconveniences for you Neale...Angel's rather inactive as of now...might as well...

 

[Neale]

Professor X

The Professor's brow furrowed slightly, and Hax 'heard' his telepathic voice, Yes, Rob, come in please.

 

[Vivid]

Martin

The room with my name on it was pleasant enough. I started unpacking when the slight burning smell hit my nose. I hoped it wasn't serious. Maybe somone had a problem with fire starting they were here to control. That'd be unusual.

I looked out my window on the second story to see an ambulance speeding away. No siren though. People must get hurt here a lot to have an ambulance stationed here the first day.

A rhythmic pounding caught my attention and I took the side stairs down to investigate. The student I had seen earlier was examining his knuckles, then looking at the ground wall of the garden.

"H-hello?" I said uncertainly. "Y-your name was Vincent wasn't it? Mine's Martin."

 

[Inkubus]

Vincent

Vincent was so abosrbed in his own thoughts that he almost stormed past Martin. He paused and sighed , he looked at Martin and fought his own shyness and insecurity...He truly wanted this 'team' to work. And if he was going to do that he would have to start by being a team member and not a team problem. He removed his glasses revealing obscenely violet eyes and said "Hello martin I'm Vincent although some call me parasite...you probably dont want to get to close to me as I have a strange effect on mutant powers" Vincent almost smiled as he said "and juding by how weak I feel I might subconciously start snacking"

 

[Sexyles]

new

As the limo pulled up to the place i said to my self "damn" Here i was a 21 gril who can use water vaper and turn to ice saw this nice school.

 

[Vivid]

Martin

"An affect on mutant powers? Do you eat them somehow?" I looked to Vincent hopefully, "Can you make them go away?"

 

[Inkubus]

Vincent

Vincent paused as he decided to be honest with his new team mate."To be honest I dont think so...at least I dont really 'eat'powers at least not on purpose. and definetly not permanently ... I just kind of negate them...Im not really a vampire because I still have to eat food and drink water...The fact that im addicted to the rush I get when I negate powers worries me, If I really am a parasite then why dont I get any stronger when I absorb powers...why dont I die when I dont abosrb them..." Vincent paused as he considered what he was saying.."To be honest Martin I dont really know what I am or how my powers work, I've been kind of guessing all this time ...I hope Ms. Frost can help me work it out.." Vincent looked out at the grounds and put his sunglasses back on...


OOC****** Is Sexyles driving up to Our School "massachussets academy" or is she driving up to the Professor X school? I was going to turn curiosly to look at the limo wondering whos inside but if she driving up to the x school then Id feel pretty silly..
If you are driving up to the academy then consider yourself being greeted by two curios onlookers.
