Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.

Excellent!

[The sudden voice caught Jimmy a little by surprise, he didn't expect to run into anyone in the woods in this sort of cold. But then again, he was out here himself. He looked over to the guy, figuring that anyone else in this area could only be a student too.]

They shouldn't be. The scars they have are just giving them character.

no regrets

[loyalservant]

I'm sure that's why you were yelling at the wind when I met you.

never any regrets

[wickedwe8weweave]

How else am I supposed to get it to listen? [Grinning.]

good owo

[loyalservant]

With your amazing mind powers, I'm sure.

[wickedwe8weweave]

Exactly!

[loyalservant]

[he crosses his arms and nods wisely] I always suspected you could control the weather.

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She tries not to laugh but it comes out anyway.] I secretly control everything.

[Her cat ears twitch as she settles back into her chair and fixes the webcam, muttering to herself as she adjusts things] What I wouldn't give for Gemini right now. Technology--Ah! It's a pleasure to meet you all. You can call me Leo. I'll be teaching Creative Writing for the time being. To be honest, I'm...hoping this will be temporary, but it's nice to be back here all the same.

ACTION

[She spent a lot of time here in her youth, before she got swept up across the country with her group of 'rebels'. It's time to get reacquainted with the--oh a rabbit. Her ears perk up and she drops to a crouch. It has to be fairly strange to see a teacher stalking a rabbit along the edge of the building but she's gotten used to hunting for food over time.

Just don't get in her way when she pounces]

[halfprice]

Yeah, not exactly what I'm in the market for.

[A shrug]

Same as borrowing anything else. I take some of it off your hands, you do without what I took for a while. Then, later on, you get however much I borrowed back.

Then I guess you oughta tell Xavier you're ready to head out on your own or put on one of those gaudy uniforms he likes.

I'm sure he'll be impressed that you've already got all of life's skills figured out.

[He looks positively fascinated.]

That is kind of amazing. And very handy in your field of expertise, I imagine. But you don't take on the physical traits of a mutation, right? I mean, that would lead to rather uncomfortable situations, wouldn't it?

[halfprice]

Depends.

[Al frowns. That's...something of a sore subject, actually.]

I'm not aching to try it on that blue ape-doctor that teaches here. Let's leave it at that.

[airbrain]

If you continue to insult me, I have no choice but to write you up.

[comparative_insanity]

[He giggles.] I was thinking more along the lines of a girl here with wings on her back, but yes, that kind of thing. Would be pretty awkward for but you and the other mutant.

Luckily, the only physical thing I've got is this. [He focuses on a relatively benevolent impulse, a "notice me" combined with a "think that I seem friendly", and his eyes shift to gold before once more changing back.] And I'm fairly certain my powers only do that because it looks cool.

The sun was too bright for her tastes; it kind of represented everything she hated about having to come to the surface. Too bright, too hot, too unrelenting, and yet not dangerous. It was like all the Upworlders, all pretty and always around, but just... soft. Weak. Not used to the harder life she'd been stuck with.

She hadn't lashed out at them, though. Callisto told her she needed to learn how to live with them in order to be a proper chieftain, and though she hated it, she would try. But that didn't mean she had to be friendly. Certainly not without reason.

As it was, the only people she stalked as she stuck to the shadows were those like her. The uglies, the castoffs, the obvious mutants. She knew some kids were throwing around the name of her people, the Morlocks... she wanted to know if they were worth the name. She'd grown up as one, had their ways and beliefs ingrained into her. If these wannabe Morlock pups wanted to adopt the name, she would make damn sure they earned it.

[The feed is upside-down, with Marrow perching over it, staring into the lens.]

...this thing busted?

[She taps on the lens.]

Hey! Someone help me make this thing work. 's broken. I think.

[Her expression sours, and she growls, her volume increasing.]

NO I DON'T WANT TO UPDATE! What th' fuck's this!?

Re: Jimmy Hudson | Marvel Comics

[beer_n_redheads]

[Out of nowhere. Like, literally. No sounds or anything before he opens his mouth.]

Gets easier with each 'pop' and strike, don't it?

[techyturtle]

Oh, it must be that your communicator's operating system is outdated. There's a recent security patch that needs to be installed in order for your communicator to work properly.

Just say yes and it should be fine after a minute.

[video]

[a_bone_to_pick]

[Stare. Staaaaare.]

"Yes."

[Stare.]

It didn't do anything. 's fuckin' broken.

[video]

[techyturtle]

[He gets that reaction a lot.]

That doesn't sound right. Maybe I can take a look at it?

[comparative_insanity]

Famous last words. [No, seriously.]

[That makes him laugh.] "A mess and sometimes on fire" is kind of a good description of my room regardless of powers, but that's because I don't clean and sometimes do chemical experiments there.

[He tilts his head as if considering it.] We~ell, it would be a pity to cover up your face, but like you said, you do what you want~.

[gwanga]

It's my post, you crazy girl!

[video]

[a_bone_to_pick]

Sure. Whatever. Just get it t' work. Teacher's been sayin' I need t' use it.

[Another stare.]

Don't I know you?

[gwanga]

I can sense your body heat. -Wow that's actually kinda creepy just up and saying it like that, Hugo.-

[gwanga]

The ground does not seem to like you very much right now, anyways.
