As the name indicates...this RPG will revolve around Crossroads and New Beginnings.CrossroadsWe would like to see characters come to a 'crossroads' in their lives where important and life changing decisions have to be made. These events can be very personal...i.e. a relationship beginning, ending or changing, or they can be moral or spiritual. Whatever is decided, they should show 'growth' for your character.New BeginningsThis can be any number of items as well and most likely will relate back to the 'crossroads' in your character(s)' life or lives and/or career. They may be starting a new career as teacher or student at Xavier's School for the Gifted or may have been selected to train for the upcoming X-Men team(s). Their 'new beginning' once again may be as simple as establishing a new relationship or changes in an old one.

Who: Swann and Wolfsbane
Where: Pizza place
When: night
Date: March 13th
Swann pushed away the plate of pizza that shed been nibbling from. There was something, possibly the combination of so many people at the tables, whose minds were like ative little bees buzzing in a locked jar, along with the scent of someones cologne or aftershave, but it was making the pregnant redhead feel not so great. "Excuse me" She said, standing up and walking over John, Rahne and Bobby to get out of the booth.
It was a quick needed decision, bathroom or outside. Outside. Making her way to the front door, Skye sat on a stone bench, taking a few deep breaths, trying to calm her rolling stomach. As much as she loved John and loved being pregnant, this part...she could do without.
Rahne looked around the table, her canine senses in overdrive. Glancing at Emma for a moment. "Must you bathe in the perfume? This isnt some french whorehouse. Lay off it...some of us are sensitive to it" She said ligtly, taking a piece of pepperoni off Bobbys pizza and eating it. She looked at Skye through the window for a moment.
Summary: skye has a dose of morning sickness and heads outside and Rahne asks Emma to smell better.

Re: Finding WisdomWho: Emma Frost With: Gambit, Mana, Swann, Wolfsbane, Ryu, Jim When: Night Time, Saturday, 13th May, 2006 Where: Pizza Place
Emma's eyes narrowed to slits as the impertinent young Scottish girl made an incredibly disrespectful comment. "I won't enquire as to why you felt the need to make such a unprovoked and frankly rude comment, but rest assured I will not forget it. We may be outside the Mansion but I am still a teacher, I would expect Charles to have taught his rabble better manners." she replied coldly, icy blue eyes fixed on the girl.
"Personally I find Dior infinitely more preferable to the smell of animal" she said pointedly, well aware of the Rhane's mutation. Anger simmered below the surface as she went back to sipping her coffee, that kind of unprovoked disrespect always riled her intensely, and she could see no particular motive.
That wouldn't stop her punishing the girl with the maximum amount of detention the human body could endure, she smiled a little at the thought and sipped the last of her coffee

Re: Finding Wisdom
Who: Mez
When: Nighttime
Where: Piazza Pizza Place, around Salem Center
With: Emma, Mana, Gambit Swann, Wolfsbane, Fenrir, Ryu, Jim, Karen, etc
She glanced up at him and raised an eyebrow "I think we might be able to squeeze you in" she said as she patted the seat next to her, more out of common courtesy than anything else.
"Thanks, I appreciate it" He said finding his seat next to Emma. Mez knew that Emma Frost was a cold woman. James never really knew how to deal with that. He'd encountered people like that more than once today but...he couldn't really feel all too bad. She hadn't tried to shank him....not yet anyway. Mez mentally erased those thoughts of paranoia from his mind. He came to relax so that was what he gonna do. He found himself a cup and poured it full of water. One of the side-effects of his mutation. He had to keep drinking. Mez resisted the urge to chug it all down at once, and sipped at the cup of water.
"My name is Ryu, its nice to meet you." Ryu was afraid to give this man a hand shake. He didn't want to accidently hurt him.
"I'm Mezeker, but 'Mez' will do just fine." He said, introducing himself to Ryu Mez would have put his hand for a dap or at least a hand-shake but Ryu never offered it and Mez guessed it was for a reason, even though it seemed rather rude of him. Mez forgot he had no reason to start trouble he had enough of that for one day.
Mez watched as one young woman left. He didn't know why, but she looked like she was gonna be sick.
Rahne looked around the table, her canine senses in overdrive. Glancing at Emma for a moment. "Must you bathe in the perfume? This isnt some french whorehouse. Lay off it...some of us are sensitive to it" She said ligtly
"ooh" Mez thought. That was a dirty, real dirty. Emma's was equally cold and the slight smirk on her face when she sipped her coffee meant gave Mez the idea she would make Rahne write 10000 page essay on what she had said. Mez just kept silent for the moment, he didn't want to catch any cross-fire from either of them.
Summary: Mez sits down at the table, and introduces himself. After the trade-off between Rahne and Emma, Mez sits quiet.

Re: Finding WisdomWho: Jim When: Same Where: Same With: Same OOC: Whoa! Before I realized it, we were on page four. Sorry for the delay.
“Ah, no need to be sorry,” Mana tried to assure him, “I mean, everyone’s different, and heck…” she motioned around them, “if I was confronted with this particular group I would be pretty shy and cautious too,” she laughed.
Jim blushed, though fortunately he was saved when a beautiful older lady appeared at their table. Ryu immediately began talking to her, but he backed off as soon as they touched, as if he had been hurt. But that couldn't be it, because she hadn't done anything. Unless she was a mutant that could cause pain without doing anything physically? Ugh, Jim hoped not. He hoped he never met a mutant like that; he hated pain. Totally had agliophobia -- fear of pain. And he hated violence too, which was why his power was such a good thing for him. Someone fought for him, and he could get them as powerful as he wanted.
His stomach clenched, and Jim looked around at the others, before looking at the pizza. There were still a few slices left surprisingly, and no one else was grabbing one at the moment. And Jim was hungry... Shyly, he reached out and took a slice, careful about not letting too much grease get on his hands. Really, he was just anal about it. He actually hated pizza, since it was usually way too greasy and Jim liked healthy foods. But he wasn't going to complain; there were no other alternatives, and he didn't have the money to get anything else. Besides, wouldn't it have been rude to get something else after this meal had been so generously offered to him?
He took a small bite, and then another one, larger this time. He chewed and swallowed, and then took another bite, nearly wolfing the pizza down. Obviously, Jim hadn't realized he was so hungry. Even this greasy slice tasted heavenly, and that alone told him to never, ever wait so long to have something to eat. Even if it was just a little package of crackers...
Summary: Jim eats pizza? Haha. OOC: Bit of subject, but where should I post on the other board, Mana?
Background: Many, many years ago, Charles Francis Xavier established Xavier's School for the Gifted. Also, seeing other Mutants misusing and abusing their powers, he created the first generation of the X-Men.This original team was trained and lead by an old friend of his...Logan, aka Wolverine. Logan's co-leader was a young woman and student named Ororo Munroe, aka Storm. Once the team was trained and fielded on active missions, they took on the additional responsibility of teaching and helping new Mutants deal with their powers.On one horrible night, the X-Men were fielded to stop a particularly powerful Mutant and his 'gang'. The 'intelligence' received on this Mutant and his cohorts was sketchy and actually turned out to be a set-up to entrap the X-Men and take them captive. In the ensuing melee', 'things' happened and a number of the team were killed outright or severely injured.After making sure his remaining team-mates were going to be okay, Logan left. Xavier has not, to current time, explained his absence or even whether or not he survived.Current Time/Game Time: Almost seven years later, as Human/Mutant incidents are on the rise, Xavier once again sees a need for a Mutant 'police force'. He sees this new X-Men team as a force for good and a way to help peacefully integrate the rapidly emerging Mutant society with the established Human society. To this end, he has contacted Logan and asked him to 'come home' and train his 'new' team.
Logan has reluctantly agreed.Can shadows from their past be put aside for the good of the new X-Men? How will the surviving members of the original team react and what will they do as 'truths' are learned about that disastrous night?Note: We want the new X-Men to include younger versions of the old familiar characters such as Scott, Jean, Beast etc...as well as many of the OCC’s and other Canon characters that are available.Please ask the Staff BEFORE stating or establishing that your character was one of the old, now disbanded, original X-Men.
