Current Almost exactly one year since I step away from being here, and a lot can change in that amount of time. Here's hoping I can find a game or two and see how things go from here.

RIP Stan Lee... You will forever be missed. As someone whose grown up reading Marvel comics, you've always have kind of been a part of my life. Thank you for making most of the Marvel heroes we know.

Bio

WIP I'm coming back after forever so clearing all of this seems like a good choice.

Just few basic things.

1. Left for my own sort of health reasons.
2. I ran a game for almost a decade when I stepped away from everything.
3. Currently working on getting an interest check up for the game I am going to hopefully be able to run.

All set, that's all for now.

Marygold Isley


Location: Air above DC -> Hanson Power Plant



Marygold nods as everyone makes their contributions and suggestions. She noticed Oshea not really paying attention and let out a small sigh. She kind of wished he at least was somewhat interested in the mission and planning. She liked what she heard, and enjoyed what was going on around her. Hank was kind of more like a babysitter she felt like, so she didn't really mind him doing whatever he wanted to.

"Alright, instant we'll be landing a little ways away from the plant so as to not draw too much attention to ourselves. Now, hopefully Starkette can get the surveillance up and running, with Allison helping her out, in case she gets a vision," she said with a smile towards Allison. "Ayita, I want you to keep an eye on things from the air, and report back if you see anything out of the ordinary, and Oshea," she said, more of snapping at the speedster, "I agree with Cassandra, I need you to do one quick loop around the place, and see if you can spot anything".

She decided to keep out of what Cassandra wanted to do. The woman wasn't under her command, since SHIELD was an entirely different group and agency. Marygold had no control over her, and evacuating the civilians was a good idea, yet she worried slightly that it would paint a huge target on their backs and that members of the Brotherhood might attack them as a distraction. She looked forward again, just as Hank turned towards her, "We're landing, at least we are somewhat prepared. I'll stay with you so that if something happens we both can get there quickly," he said as he landed the Blackbird. At least they had some sort of plan, even though it, knowing her luck, would fall apart completely. Marygold got up from her seat, and faced the group.

"Let's get this party started, you all know the drill. Now, let's go," she said as she gave an encouraging smile, knowing that some people in the group were still knew to the whole working on a team, but she was hoping for the best. She started to head off the Blackbird, and was hoping that the mission would be a success, even though there were several firsts among the team.
Sorry for taking a while. Update will be coming up tonight.
Daphne Pender


Location: Town



Daphne hadn't really been paying much attention to those who passed her. She just kept walking back towards the docks, back towards the ship. Knowing that she might be in trouble or something didn't make her feel any better, and it certainly didn't make her walk any faster. Daphne glanced up as she walked, but she clearly didn't do so soon enough. When she looked up, she just had time to catch a glimpse of someone as the walked right into her, practically knocking her down. She managed to steady herself before she looked up at the man who had hit her.

The man was taller than her by a few inches, and the first thing she noticed besides that was his blue eyes, but she didn't need to say anything about that. This man intrigued her, and made her feel better since she clearly wasn't the only one in this town who wasn't really watching where she was going. He had a clear stutter as he apologized, but she didn't really mind that. "Don't worry about it," she said to him with a smile as he introduced himself. The man seemed a little bit formal with his introduction which surprised her a little bit. "Names Daphne, I'm a pilot," she continued, still smiling towards him, hoping to make him more comfortable talking to her.

Thalia Maehers


Location: Cirque Anomaly
Interacting With: Boris @Morose



Thalia had to suppress a giggle as she saw Lilith easily start in on her performance. It was just a rehearsal, but she clearly was getting into it, acting as though there truly was an audience, and it kind of impressed her at how strong Lilith's imagination could be. The woman was approaching the man in the lab coat who the ringmaster had pointed out to all of them, and was drawing him into her act. Thalia smiled as she watched, but she really should be preparing for her own performance.

She was surprised that Boris had even shown up, but the circus was his life, so she shouldn't be too worried. However she was a little frightened by the fact that he was a mess and was waving around a knife. Thalia hoped that he wouldn't do anything too stupid, like attack people randomly during the performance or something. Suddenly she found herself worrying about her own safety as she approached the man. "Hey, ready for the performance?" she asked as she walked up to him.


Elissa Isley


Location: Port of Tortuga




She knew that she was late, but it didn't help her to know that. Aravis was probably sitting there, wondering where she was, and Elissa wasn't there yet. Picking her way through the crowd, she could see the sign for The King's Arm off in the distance, and she needed to hurry up. Meeting up with Aravis was something she looked forward to, and she wasn't planning on skipping out on her friend just yet. It probably didn't help that she was keeping an eye out for thieves, since she knew too well what could happen on the streets of any town.

As the sign grew closer, Elissa started hurrying slightly more, since she didn't really want to keep Aravis waiting longer than she needed to, and Elissa was practically running by now, and eventually she could see her friend, and as she drew closer to her, Elissa waved her arm with a smile. "Hello Araffis, it is kood to zee you akain," she said as she walked up to her friend.






Marygold Isley



Location: Xavier's Institute



Marygold was waiting for everyone, and eventually watched as everyone came in one by one to the hangar. A noise behind her announced the presences of Dr. McCoy, or Beast as he was most commonly referred as. He walked up to Marygold, and glanced around at the rest of the group. "Got a mission I'm guessing. Be careful not to get into too much trouble though. Don't want to have to lead a rescue mission to pull you kids out of trouble. No offense intended of course," he said with a smile, and Marygold couldn't help but smile back at him.

"Well, you could always come with us Hank. You know, keep us youngsters out of trouble. Also I would trust you to fly the thing more than myself. Its been a while since you went on a mission, are you getting too old to go on one with us and fly your plane," she said still grinning from ear to ear as she saw the expression on his face. He probably was thinking about this, and he also might be sending a message to the Professor asking about it. He was getting a little old, but he could probably still pack a punch if he tried.

"Well I'm not getting too old for anything,"he said as he opened up the ramp to the Blackbird,"You are also correct about this plane, I will join you, hopefully nothing too horrible will occur to stop this mission from being a success. All aboard, we are bound for D.C".

Marygold entered the Blackbird, and sat in the seat next to Beast, and waited as everyone else took their seats. As they took off into the air, she figured it would probably take roughly half an hour before they landed, and since Hank was flying, it gave her more of an opportunity to speak with the others about the plan. She was still knew to the being a leader thing, so it helped her to try and think things out ahead of time, and hopefully think of things that could go wrong.

She looked towards those in the back, and decided to be open to suggestions from them. Afterall, Marygold herself couldn't think of everything, and she technically wasn't even in charge of Starkette and Cassandra, so she had no idea what they wanted to do.

"Alright then, we have about 30 minutes before we reach the plant. I'm open to suggestions on anything if there are any. I know that technically I don't run the SHIELD side of things, so I don't know how you two want to do things," she said as she looked around the compartment at the team who was assembled.
Update will be up this afternoon
Thalia Maehers


Location: Cirque Anomaly
Interacting With: No one



Looking for Boris was tiring, and it annoyed her to know that she couldn't find him. The man ran around just about everywhere, and currently his mental state was debatable, making her brush off finding him. There was no way she could worry about it now, especially once she felt something familiar and strange. She started working her way towards a tent, and the feeling kept getting stronger. The wardrobe within was strange, and the strange aura seemed to be coming from it. Thalia didn't really recognize the wardrobe, but the fact that it was a temporal disturbance was odd. The thought that she hadn't noticed it really before meant that it usually was not there, but the thought of one being so close, and in the circus grounds was strange.

She thought back to her conversation with Lilith, about Folly's diary. The girl had mentioned a wardrobe, and suddenly, here was one, at the heart of a temporal disturbance. Thalia knew that she needed to tell Lilith about it, but the performance was going to be soon, and there is no telling how long it would take them to learn more about the disturbance, or what it had to do with Folly. She decided to tell her after the performance, but right now she needed to get ready, and maybe find Boris afterwards.
Daphne Pender


Location: Town



She enjoyed her surroundings, the people, and the open space compared to the cramped ship. However, it was high time she head back to the ship, and see if there was anything she could do to help out with moving things to their new ship, whenever they actually got it. Daphne was curious as to what type of ship they were getting, knowing that it probably was not going to be another Alliance vessel, which made her glad. She knew a little bit about their ships, but not enough to make herself comfortable behind the helm of one.

She started making her way back through the crowd, heading back towards the docks. Daphne wondered if they had noticed her missing by now. The ship was big, so there was a chance that they hadn't, but knowing Anisa those odds were pretty slim. She decided to take her time getting back, if anyone had noticed that she was gone, she was already in trouble, so it didn't really matter how quickly she got back to the ship. The idea of heading back to the ship so soon was annoying, but she really should be helping out, even though she always felt like she was getting in the way of everyone else who clearly had more important things to do or whatever.







Marygold Isley


Location: Xavier Institute



Marygold looked around the room, and noticed how several people glanced around the room before they stopped in the room. She had forgotten, the SHIELD agents were a newer fixture in the institute, so several people probably had yet to meet them. Glancing over at Professor X, he already knew what she was thinking, and since the team had to work with SHIELD, the rise in the Brotherhood's activities also just so happened to be their problem. The Brotherhood was causing problems for them, and as long as they were around, they couldn't focus very well on the disappearing mutants.

"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to Starkette and Cassandra, they will be working with us from now on as representatives of SHIELD," he said, and nodded to Marygold, so that she could explain the reason they were called.

"Just before you were all called, we recieved a phone call from the director of SHIELD Nick Fury. Recently, there have been a number of attacks on electrical power plants and electrical facilities . However, until now they have been unable to identify those responsible. A surveillance camera managed to capture an image of one of those responsible. If you will look over at the screen, you will see the image that SHIELD so kindly sent us," she said as she turned on the huge monitor, a picture appearing on the screen.



She waits for a few moments so that they might take in the image. Marygold glanced around the room, and continued where she left off. "Looks like Magneto and his group are at it again, and SHIELD needs our help to stop them. Unfortunately they, as I'm guessing you all know, have a way to prevent the Professor from using Cerebro to locate them," she said, and looked to Professor Xavier again.

"Director Fury has been kind enough to give us a few locations which they may strike at any time. However, Marygold and myself have been able to narrow this down to just one location, which fits the given parameters that Magneto and his so called Brotherhood, will attack. The Hanson Power Plant just outside of Washington DC. It generates power for all of DC, including the White House and other government facilities. It is your task to make sure that they do not destroy the power plant. Otherwise, it may give Magneto the ability to take control of the city".

Marygold looked around the room at those gathered. She didn't really know if the SHIELD agents were coming,she had met Starkette, and was good friends with her, but she knew virtually nothing about the other woman, but didn't really care about that at the moment. If they came, they came, if they didn't, so what? It didn't really affect her very much."Alright team, you heard the man, let's suit up and head out. I'll meet you in the Blackbird hangar. Starkette and Cassandra, your welcome to come with if you feel like you've been sitting around doing nothing, feel free," she said as she headed out of the room to go into the areas beneath the mansion, the areas reserved only for the X-Men.
