welp. looks like there's no shortage of people making fun of Shawn! fortunately, this'll just add to his supervillain backstory!

JK, but this is a good way for me to actually show some of his character. Humility is the best teacher after all.
Peter was rather shocked when Heidi had imitated his own language, his own accent, all but perfectly. He could say little about it before the plan sprung. However, he now had something to talk to someone about once this was all over. Her voice reminded him of home, of his family and his friends that he had before his mutation had started.

The light around them flashed, warped and filtered to make it seem as far off from earth as possible. With the changing lights added on top of the increased altitude, Shawn was almost stirred awake. Kurt knew that he needed just a little push, and teleported high up onto the rafters to whisper some words into his ear, helping with Shawn's frightful awakening. The teacher also couldn't help but wave to the other student up on the rafters, Miss Ayita Everwood, before teleporting back to cover.

With heavy eyes and a dull mind, Shawn awoke. He was dizzy from waking up after such a powerful nap, and the annoying lights didn't help at all. He could feel himself hanging, stuck by something incredibly sticky. He tried to move and shift about to free himself, but it was all to no avail. The more time he spent trying to free himself and waking himself up, the more he noticed the shiny green figure down below. He didn't seem familiar at all, and he could see none of his classmates down on the ground next to the shining being.

"Uh, hey? Can you help me get down from here? Also, where is Professor Wagner and the others?"

Slowly, it's head turned upwards, his stance large, heavy, and aggressive. Peter himself could see fine through the filtered light around him, but it seemed like Shawn was having a difficult time making heads or tails of things.

"Курт Вагнер, дата смерти, январь двадцать седьмого, две тысячи." His voice was now flat and robotic, making something up on the spot in an attempt to scare Shawn. It seemed to be working, as the fear filled up in his eyes. Shawn could not understand any of it, adding to his fear and shock.

Shawn didn't even think about looking for Ayita. If the others were gone, than so was she. Maybe this was one of those sentinel things that were supposed to find and track mutants. the Professor had told them that they were not in production, but what if someone made their own? Shawn tried struggling more, but to no avail. The easy option of using electricity to cut his way out also didn't work. He had a feeling that it was silk, but that walking robot couldn't have spun it. How long had he been out for? Was he still dashingly handsome like an Asian Indiana Jones?

It was at this moment that Shawn began to realize the situation. Silk wouldn't have been able to last as long as he originally thought he had been asleep for. It was still fresh, he could smell it. The stickyness was also fresh, new. He stopped struggling and hung from the rafter. "Hive..." He groaned. "Can one of you get me down? It's not funny anymore."




More than he'd like to admit, Rosemary had more valid points. Complete peace with the humans was never possible. Working with them right now seemed convenient, with them helping to rebuild the world after Apocalypse. However, that peace might not last forever. Mutants and mutations could easily become to go-to for blaming. Even if most of the humans eventually came around to accept mutants, there would always be some that would hate them with a passion.

Then she ran off. Booker didn't try chasing her down or using his constructs to stop her. This was already a great session, and he had more than enough to work with to prepare for the next. He could hear voices, not his own, floating around faintly. He knew who was on campus, he had a hand in asking her to come in the first place. Now that she was here, he just needed to beg and bargain until the other was satisfied enough to cooperate. He knew that she didn't like the whole talking to people thing, and that she'd tell him just to have Scott do it, but surely she understood why they were the only two who could possibly talk to Rosemary.

He just hoped that fifteen year old Favors were still valid.
@LadyRunicinteresting character, accepted. Go ahead and start posting when you're ready. Right now, you can pretty much set yourself wherever you want, and I'll go ahead and make posts for you and others to interact with.
He knew things that he shouldn't. Xavier knew that Samantha was going to be a tough case, but one that he was sure Booker could help out. He didn't want to use that information on the girl, not when she herself hadn't even admitted to him yet. It would be a betrayal of trust, as he saw it. Xavier had already looked into her mind and seen everything she had seen, and relayed that all to Booker, but he felt that he was honestly better off not having that information. It would have been better for him to strive for it, rather than to say the right words and wait for her to tell him herself.

"Your mutation is your suicide watch. The facility itself is your suicide watch." There was really no reason for him to state the obvious. Surely that was her theory, that her adaptation mutation kept her from dying, no matter how she tried. He had almost used her real name. He almost called her Samantha, but he bit his tongue just before it escaped his lips.

"Rosemary. You know, the worst thing about Immortality, is that many people often confuse it with invincibility." Behind him, two small constructs of simple balls floated and spun around one another. "Even if you can't die, you can still be hurt, whether or not you intended for it to be so." He recalled a memory of his own past. He was quite lucky to have been born in a small town where Mutants were generally accepted. However, he had a few accidents of his own regarding the formation of his own powers.

The two balls expanded and morphed into two figures. One, a younger version of Booker himself, back when he still went by the name Blake, and the other, a woman, about as old as Booker was now. The woman rose, higher and higher, until she suddenly fell. the young Blake reached out as far as he could, a smaller construct, connected to the little Blake by a line, formed just above the falling woman. Suddenly, she crashed into the ground below.

"Sometimes, we are not in control of the world. Sometimes, we can't control what happens. Fate is simply out of our hands, sometimes we just can't save some people, no matter how hard we try. We'll blame ourselves, use that as leverage, a point to make ourselves stronger, to break us down and remind ourselves about how we're not worth it." He looked to Rosemary, the figures fading away into dust. "We all handle these things in different ways. Stress, grief, anger, denial." He wasn't sure if he should put his hand on her shoulder or not, so he stayed his hand and looked around once more. "What happened... The house, your father, everything. It wasn't your fault. They were out of your control, and if you'll let me impede a little more, I want you to talk to Miss Darkholme or the Professor about becoming an X-man. Some people don't have the ability that you have, some can't save themselves. You can see the sights of the world, talk to people who are where you are, hurting, have been hurt. You can let them know that they're not alone. You don't have to be alone here."

He knew the old saying. If a leader doesn't believe in his own words, then why should his people? However, he knew of a few people who were so good at faking confidence and hope that their facade actually inspired others to better themselves. "There's so much beauty out there, past the gates of the School. So many great sights to see, wonderful food to eat, legendary tales to hear. There are also places who have faced much devastation, people who have lost everything, much like you have, thinking it's all over. They need someone who's been where they have been, they need someone like you."

He turned on his heel. Even if they weren't in his office, he was going to be counting this as a therapy session. It was always good to get out every once and a while. He smiled, only wide enough for his lips to separate at the center. "You might not be invincible, Rosemary, but it takes a lot of strength to have made it this far. Mutation or not. You are talking to me, and it takes a strong person to get even this far in therapy. I can't tell you that everything is going to be okay, that a set of magic words are going to make life hunky-dory, because that isn't how life works. If it were, we'd have world peace already. But I can tell you that your life is one worth living."




Kurt, upon hearing Jacob's call for help, teleported back up to the rafters and held onto the boy before teleporting him back to the ground.

"Alright, Everyvon, it's time to get moving." He smiled and pressed his hands together. The majority of the class dispersed and hid. Tessa and Raven were both excellent teachers at hiding and evacuating, it seemed. Most of the class was hidden, gone without a trace but still watching the scene, unseen. "Peter, if you vuld?"

Peter nodded and stood to grow once more. The plan was finally in action, and now he just needed to make an entrance for when Shawn would wake up. He took slow and careful steps to the door in the back of the room, waiting for his cue to walk in.

"Nate!" Kurt smiled, calling to the boy to get ready, while the bamf himself took his place back on the rafters to wait until everyone was in position.

Kurt smiled widely, holding no bars to keep himself from looking like an impish demon with that horrid grin on his face. This was going t be priceless, he just knew it.
@LadyRunicThe school itself is pretty much the same. I have the teacher list on the first OOC post. Logan is currently still running wild, which is why he isn't on the list.

OC's are not required, but reccomended. You can use an official Xmen character if you wish, just make sure they're not in the new trilogy so you can pretty much make them however you want, and let me know before hand so I can make the right adjustments to the story.

You don't need to be a student, either. Being a full-time X-man or Teacher is also a possibility, but just know that those spots are reserved for Co-Gms or people who are going to help me drive the RP and the story, so you will have to lend a hand in steering things smoothly.
@LadyRunicWe are still accepting, yes!

As for timelines, we are following the revised movie timeline, First Class, Days of Future Past, and Apocalypse. If something can't be learned from the IC or the first OOC post, please ask any and all questions that you may have to get a better read of the scene.
@Silver Carrotno worries, we'll be here when your ready to post again
@KronshiI'd love to post, but I can't really seem to do anything with Charlotte just yet, and Soda is still waiting on Carnelian to react again. Of course, I could just pretend as if she were silent and move on, which I could, but would rather not do unless necessary.
wow, rosemary isn't making this easy for Booker. well, everyone's gonna have a little bonding time soon enough.
"She... always did have a habit of making people forget her..." If anything, the great Professor Xavier was starting to grow into a new look. His straightened but soft brow, his eyes, never missing a feature, and his mind, always thinking of the unknown and how to befriend it. You could almost call him "Captain" if he weren't so friendly. He was more like your therapist who went the extra mile as opposed to your leader or headmaster. "Well, bring her in. Let's see what brings here out of the shadows."

Scott shook his head softly, but his curt bow betrayed his previous motion. He was rather confused. Not how this woman was still alive. If she were like Charles, then she could easily make people forget her, or make people not even see her at all. But her just being here conflicted with what he had been told years ago, when he, Jean, and the others were still new to protecting both humans and mutants. He had a question now, two, if he wanted to be technical.

Did Raven know? Was she actually speaking from what she saw, or from what a piece of paper told her?

"I'll get he-" Scott turned to the door, but it was already opened by the time that he had turned fully to face it. Instead of the hard oak, he saw a woman, looking in her forties, standing graciously in the door frame.

A silver feather Boa wrapped around her neck, dressed as always in a white corset with silver lacing. Her smooth, perfectly flawless skin shone well through the large windows of the Professor's study.

Charles moved not an inch, waiting for her to speak. As he expected, her voice rang in his mind. He could see Scott, standing between the two, looking at one another with confusion written on his face.

Whatever conversation was going on was being completely missed by Scott. With another short bow, he turned to the door. "I'll, let myself out now."

"Not just yet, Scott. You're apart of this conversation too." Charles spoke with his mouth, smiling at the man who he was proud to help train and teach.

"Well I don't exactly have mind powers, and last I remember, you could only use two phones in a conversation." He didn't want to be rude to the professor, but even he could sometimes forget that not everyone could think and talk like he did.

The two telepaths chuckled to one another.

Charles turned to Scott once more, motioning to the buxom blonde before them both. "You've been kind enough to refrain from psychically attacking Scott or wiping his mind again, so I am assuming that means that you are going to be stepping in, this time?"

"This time?" Scott looked again.

"No, I need to pick up the remnants of the Academy. After the Hellions..." She paused there. Scott almost sighed at the end of her silky voice. "Still, there was a group I had sent out and they didn't report in before the attack. I do hope that they're alright."

Scott had more questions than what he could count on both hands, but he knew that if he stuck around long enough, he'd be able to get filled in on what sort of mission he was going on.




"Da!" Kurt smiled, his hands clapping. "Let us begin, zen!" In an instant, he teleported off the stage, back onto the ground where Shawn and Jacob both were. In one hand, he had Shawn's hand taken in. Just contact with Shawn and his energy filled body was strange and static-like. Surely, the boy was recharging his batteries. Raven could be a slave diver in the Danger Room, and nobody could last forever against her training regiment.

His free hand stretched out to Jacob, hoping to teleport them both up high so the boy could get working on his silk. They wouldn't have much more time, they needed to act now otherwise the bell was going to wake Shawn.




It wasn't really an option that Booker himself wanted to explore, but his research caused him to look at all the options for the kids and young adults around him. Not everyone was lucky like Charles was, with a rich family and name, a big estate to return to after a few lofty years of travel, not to mention being a professor and having gone to college.

Mutants like Caliban tracked other mutants, some mutants could sneak others into systems. It was just a matter of knowing who to talk to.

He looked around, unsure of how to phrase his words. After a quick lip-tightening, he looked back at Rosemary and sighed briefly. "There are a million options for everyone. All you need is the drive and the right know-how. People, mutants and humans alike can do nearly everything, you just need to find the right ones to put you back into the system. You need to know the right ones to sweet-talk you into your university, the right ones to change your face just enough that people don't recognize you." It was great, he knew. Telling kids to cheat. However, his plan was much simpler than that, and the only way that the plan would work without the ability to turn things to gold would be to work as hard as you can for someone to consider writing up a new form for a new person.

"You can do what you want, Rosemary. You just need patience and determination. It doesn't hurt that your ability allows you to take on nearly any job imaginable."
