So far we have the following:

Tony x Pepper and Charles x Raven

I'll be Pepper and Charles and you'll be Tony and Raven. We could bring in other roles such as Magneto, Black Widow, Captain America etc down the line. We still need to figure out when this takes place and during which canon events. I would assumed we might do this between either Iron Man 2 and Avengers OR between Avengers and Iron Man 3. As far as the X-Men verse goes, did we want them as young adults or older adults? I was not a big fan of X2 and X3. I have seen Days of Future Past and wasn't too thrilled with it either, so we might want to do something with First Class?

An OOC! Lovely :D

I'd love to stick with First Class as the basis for Charles and Raven, X2 and X3 weren't exactly my favourite and things could get complicated with the Days of Future Past timeline. It might be better to set it between the Avengers and iron Man 2? The other Avengers could be off dealing with their own respective villains while Tony and Pepper somehow become involved with either a mutant threat or an issue which combines the two teams/timelines?

Just food for thought.

That sounds like a plan, would you want any Character Sheets or should we just go off what we know, not needing to outline canons? And in terms of starting points, we'll need to figure out what could glue Tony + Pepper together as well as Charles + Raven, as she did side with Erik. (oh Erik and Raven <3)

Did we want Raven to go back with Charles acting as a spy for Erik or would we want her going back on her own accord, hopefully trying to resolve things? We should also take in mind that the time is very different for each film so we may need to magically move First Class events into the present where Avengers left off...?

And with Pepper and Tony, did we want them relocating to NYC or would we want them going back and forth between there and LA? Is their relationship public, let alone official?

I'm not massive fan of character sheets when it comes to using established canon characters. I'm sure we know all four well enough to jump straight in, really. If it's between the Avengers and Iron Man 3 then Tony could still be recovering from 'New York', struggling with the PTSD? That could either draw them together or push them apart.

It might be interesting to have Raven return as a spy if we want to bring Erik in later, but at the same time it would be nice if she went back on her own accord because they were so close. We could, otherwise, go for the 'middle ground' approach and have her return initially to act as a spy only to realise that she'd prefer to be a member of the X-Men. There shouldn't be too much of an issue moving the events of First Class forward, particularly if neither of us are that fond of X2 or X3.

LA might be good if Tony's still struggling with New York (though that's just a suggestion). Hmm, I don't know wheather they should have gone public or not, what do you think?

If Tony and Pepper haven't yet gone public, it would be a good jumping off point if it was announced, as well as Tony saying he'll act as co-CEO with Pepper? She can't handle it all right, maybe instead of LA (just thinking aloud here) they could relocate somewhere quiet maybe close to where Charles' mansion where maybe they could stumble across the mutants in training? And I think Raven going in under false pretense but then changing her mind would make some good, heartbreaking conflict. We'd need to finalize who would still be around after the mess. There's Beast, anyone else...?

If they relocated to somewhere closer to Charles' mansion that would make sense, and it would mean they'd be aware of the X-Men before it came time to save the world from whatever major threat appears. Pepper definitely wouldn't be able to handle it all by herself, no matter how amazingly organised and skilled she is when it comes to keeping Tony and the business in line.

Beast, perhaps Banshee and Havok would stay?

Tony could keep an eye on his tower and travel to and from LA when needed, but maybe a nice hideaway in the forest with Pepper would be something soothing for him. I think Pepper finding out about mutants would be pretty fun, not sure if we want Pep and Tony to meet Charles together o seperatly. I assume Charles would want to keep things hidden, unaware of maybe who Tony is? Or if he is aware, not willing to let the genius know about mutants?

So we could start with the press release in NYC, Tony mentioning he's with Pepper in a relationship, he's willing to help rebuild NYC and take charge of his company with Pepper by his side? And then Charles would be gathering Havoc, Beast and Banshee to go back to training while dealing with his new issue of being bound by a wheelchair? I assume Raven would then show up?

Do you think we're about ready to begin? if so, about how much were we gonna post usually? You mentioned our styles were similar but I wanna be sure we're both expecting similar things.

I'd love to see Pepper find out about the mutants first, she might even want to keep it hidden from Tony for a while due to the fact that the whole New York thing just occurred and, well, he was kind of on the brink of dying for a couple of minutes. That and I can see Charles and pepper getting along quite well, sipping tea and complaining about how complicated their lives are.

That sounds good. It might make sense if Charles honours his promise never to read Raven's mind, otherwise he'd know all about the infiltration. Or he could know and feel as though if she stays long enough she might change her mind. Both are equally heartbreaking </3

Sure, I think so. I'm happy to settle for about four to five decent paragraphs per character? It depends on how much is going on, but if we post once every two to four days then I think that eight to ten paragraphs all up is a nice size.

Cue Pepper bringing over cookies and seeing Beast lurking. Oh thank god it wouldn't be Nat or there might be bullets before conversation...Pepper and Charles would be cute together, I could see her wanting to help his cause if she could.

Yeah, i don't see Charles invading her mind, maybe a little suspicious but otherwise welcoming of her presence again.

And awesome, I'll get an intro up soon then. I think a range of 4-5 per role is fine, if we wanted more, that's cool too. Though at this point I'd rather have 4-5 over 1-2 days than more over a longer wait period but that is because I don't have much going on right now and I'm itching to do some nice posts again, since I'm all caught up at present. At any rate, my intro should be up within an hour or so. ^^

Cookies, tea and good conversation! If we did decide to bring in Nat a little later then there would be complete chaos!

I look forward to it :D

In terms of NPCs, we could probably leave Nat, Steve, Erik as roles to share as needed, unless they become important somehow.

I'm sure we'll need NPCs with Charles' mansion, and possibly with some other Avengers from time to time.

Speaking of time, looks like it's time to get working on a post :P

Yeah, should you wanna use the other mutants like Alex etc, feel free. :3

Let me know if you're back and wanna RP, for now I'm unsubscribing to declutter my subscription pages. ^^;
