X-Men 2020 Role-Playing Records
The following is the story in Air Raiser's X-Men 2020 RP at http://www.oocities.org/the2020rp/.

This Role Playing thread invlovles the diner on the and a chat between Ben, Vendetta, NightHawk, Darkling, Nueva and Falcon. It shoudl have gone in the May 25th through 31st thread, but I couldn't figure out how to combine them, so I put it in another thread.

NOTE: Not every single posting was copied into this file. Only the posts that actually added to the plot line where added. I also missed a few because they went in with other records. Most of the Out Of Character (OOC) comments have been elimintaed to save space. Some of the text as been changed to combine two or more different threads. If you have any probelms with with this notify me, Sirah at the2020rp@yahoo.ca



Slides under the diner door

And simply sits in the middle of the floor.

The young man arches an eyebrow at the puddle.
"I wonder if there's a mop in back," he says jokingly, Irish accent heavy in his voice. The young woman smirks and shakes her head.

Posted by Kat on 5/31/2001, 6:23 pm
"There is, but I dun think Ben would appriecate it too much.."

Posted by The pair on 5/31/2001, 6:25 pm
"I'm just teasing," says the Irish lad, mock-hurt.

Posted by Kat on 5/31/2001, 6:27 pm
"But then again, it didn't seem to bug him too much when I tried drawing a smiley face in him..."

Posted by A silver puddle on 5/31/2001, 6:26 pm
The puddle slides under a table when the man mentions a mop. A moment later a thirteen year old boy with silver and grey hair crawls out from under the table. He flicks dust off his black leather jacket and looks at the two with questioning silver eyes. Glancing at Kat he grins and says, "I don't mind being stepped on but I draw the line at being mopped up."

Posted by The pair on 5/31/2001, 6:30 pm
"It was a joke!" The 17-year old looks defensive. "Just a joke!"
"Let it go, Darkling," smirks the young woman, who is about 16 or so, before nodding to the newcomer. "I'm Vendetta. You are?"

Posted by A silver puddle on 5/31/2001, 6:33 pm
Grins. "So-kay. I have actually been mopped up once before." He shakes his head sadly. "Quite an embarrasing moment." With a smile he says, "Pleasure to meet you Vendetta." Nods to the other. "You as well Darkling." Holds out his hand and says, "Quicksilver."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 6:36 pm
"Appropriately named," nods Vendetta as Darkling shakes Quicksilver's hand. The corner of her mouth twitches. "You wouldn't happen to know Darien Fawkes, would you?"
Darkling has to bite back a snigger.
"I'm sorry," he says, grinning. "She has no manners."

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 6:39 pm
Shakes Darkling's hand and blinks at Vendetta's question. "Um..... Not that I know of." Gives a sheepish grin.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 6:41 pm
"Ah, nevermind." Vendetta waves dismissively. Darkling muffles a laugh in a cough.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 6:43 pm
Blinks again, confused.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 6:44 pm
"Like I said," says Darkling, sheepish, "she has no manners. Sit down, I'll buy you a soda."

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 6:46 pm
"Okay...." Sits down in a booth and swings his feet up into the seat.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 6:49 pm
Vendetta says something in Russian under her breath to Darkling, who laughs, then heads for the soda machine. He comes back with a Sprite and a generic cola for Quicksilver, which he holds out.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 6:53 pm
Takes the can and nods. "Thanks." Pops the top and takes a drink. Pulls a picture of a 17 year old girl and an older man and woman. The girl has black hair with a streak of white through it and blue eyes. He holds the picture out and asks, "Have you ever seen the girl in the middle before?"

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 6:54 pm
Darkling shakes his head slowly. Vendetta cranes her neck to look at the photo, but carefully keeps her face neutral.
"She have a name?" she asks.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 6:55 pm
Puts the picture back in his pocket and takes another sip of his drink. "Lorana."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:00 pm
"Lorana," echoes Vendetta. She looks away for a moment, searching her memory, then shakes her head. "Can't help you."
Darkling sighs.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 7:02 pm
Sighs. "Well she might not be going by her real name." Closes his eyes. "My sister was kidnapped four years before I was born. I was hoping to find her here. But then again she might be dead. Or not even remember our parents at all."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:04 pm
"Is she Mutant or Norm?" The way Vendetta says this implies that it's important.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 7:07 pm
"Mutant. And if I remember what my parents told me she has the ability to heal her wounds quickly as I do." He blinks then says, "Oh, and they said she could change objects into other things. I think they said she could turn into a wolf too."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:13 pm
Vendetta mutters a curse. Darkling shakes his head.
"There's this new bill passed.... all the Mutants in the state are going to be rounded up and taken to holding camps in two days." He clenches his fist. "Jett and I are good enough to get away, but you might not be."

Walks down the ally towards the dinner
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 7:15 pm
minding her own business, a falcon flies over to her and lands on her sholder, she walks over to the dinner and sees the others inside.

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 7:19 pm
"Yea I heard about that after I got here from Chicago. I just hope if my sister's here she's safe." Smiles. "I myself will more than likely slip into a crack and wait till its safe."

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 7:21 pm
Turns and sees the newcomer outside. He watches her with silver eyes but says nothing.

As she gets closer
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 7:42 pm
she notices that there is another watching her, her cold gray eyes watch him, as she enters the dinner

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:21 pm
"Knowing our luck, your sister and my little brother will probably be carted off to the same place," growls Vendetta into her own soda. "They snatch Misha, some people are going to need new heads."

Posted by Quicksilver on 5/31/2001, 7:26 pm
"I hope not. I have never even seen my sister and I refuse to lose her to some stupid law they've passed!" Slams his drink down on the table. It bursts and spills on him but he doesn't seem to notice. Suddenly a figure dressed in a sleeveless black trenchcoat with black hair with a white streak through it comes toward the diner.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:29 pm
Vendetta's head snaps up as she senses someone approaching, then whirls around as she looks at Darkling. He nods. Darkling's eyes are sharper in the failing light, and he doesn't even need to squint.
"If we are extremely lucky, my friend," says the Irishman, "that will be your sister now."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 7:33 pm
Turns to look at the approaching figure. "Hum, I don't think so." The figure enters the diner and looks up at them. Its NightHawk. He looks tired and his face is gaunt. There are dark circles under his black eyes and he looks to be looking through the three instead of at them. Shaking his head the Irishman says, "Hello there Darkling, Vendetta." He looks at Quicksilver and asks, "Who are you?"

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 7:37 pm
Vendetta nods a polite greeting. Darkling waves and says hello.
"This would be Quicksilver," he says, gesturing with his left hand to the other. Normally a motion like this would cause the ring he wears to flash, but it's conspicuously missing from his fingers.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 7:42 pm
NightHawk nods and flops down at the counter and holds his head in his hands. "Hello Quicksilver." Quicksilver nods and says, "Hello....." "NightHawk." "Hello NightHawk." Hands him the picture of his sister and their parents. "If its not any trouble can you tell me if you've seen the girl in the middle?" NightHawk takes the picture and studies it silently.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 7:44 pm
NightHawk looks up from his spot on a stool and Quicksilver watches the newcomer silently.

Walks over to a booth and sits down
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 7:51 pm
the falcon hops off her sholder and in the see across from her.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 7:59 pm
NightHawk looks back at the picture in his hands. Quicksilver watches the falcon.

Begins to talk
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 8:07 pm
seemingly to herself, but she is really talking to the falcon. But the falcon no longer looks like a falcon, it is larger and is loosing feathers. It beak shrinks and talons soften in to feet. Nueva takes off her small bag and hands the newly formed human some clothes.
(Nueva)"So do you think he can find us here?"
(Falcon)"He might, thats why we can stay here long." The guy lowers Nueva's hood revealing her long cat like ears.
(Falcon)"Don't worry it will be a while before he can find us again."
(Nueva)"Oh, I hope your right. You know the two of us can't take him."
He nods the relaxes in his seat

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:07 pm
Vendetta watches the exchange, silent. Darkling also watches.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:08 pm
NightHawk blinks his black eyes as the falcon turns into a human but then looks back at the picture. Quicksilver on the other hand is staring wide-eyed at the now human falcon.

Looks up at the other
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 8:12 pm
who is stairing wided eyed. She smiles at him, "I take it you've never seen anyone do that before?"

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:14 pm
Quicksilver shakes his head. NightHawk laughs and says, "Its not that strange Quicksilver." Looking at her he says, "I'm NightHawk."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:12 pm
NightHawk studies the picture for a moment then his eyes go wide. He looks up at Quicksilver then back at the picture. After a moment he mutters something in Gaelic. Quicksilver looks at him and asks, "What is it?" NightHawk replies, "This girl. She....she....looks almost like Tagre, I mean Nightwolf. Except her hair is white with a black streak, her eyes are amber, and she's a tad taller. Besides that its her!"

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:14 pm
"I knew that face was familiar," says Vendetta quietly. Darkling says nothing, probably because of whatever Nighthawk muttered a moment ago.

Nueva gets up and walks over to them
Posted by Nueva/Ryely on 5/31/2001, 8:16 pm
"Its nice to meet you NightHawk, I am Nueva and thats Ryely."
Ryely turns around and waves then turns back.
"Hes not very talkative today for some reason." She shrugs

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:18 pm
NightHawk nods and says, "A pleasure." Quicksilver's eyes grow slightly smaller but he continues to watch Ryely with a wary silver eye. He gives a slight smile and says, "I'm Quicksilver."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:16 pm
Quicksilver looks at the three of them and asks, "Whose Nightwolf?" NightHawk stands and hands him back the picture and replies, "Someone whose going through some troubles at the moment. Fighting her inner demon you might say."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:21 pm
"The inner animal, more like," says Vendetta with a mirthless smile.

Extends her hand to him
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 8:20 pm
"Nueva. You new around these parts, I've never seen you before."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:21 pm
Quicksilver takes her hand with a nod. "I just got here a few days ago from Chicago."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:22 pm
Quicksilver blinks and asks, "But who is she?" NightHawk looks sadly at him and replies, "Not even she knows that."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:25 pm
Vendetta downs the last of her soda. Darkling, who was long finished with his, tosses the can into the trash and glances at Nighthawk before muttering something in Gaelic and shaking his head.

"Ah, thats why I don't reconize you."
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 8:29 pm
She smiles gently at him. "So I take it your a mutant like the rest of us?"

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:30 pm
Quicksilver nods. "I am." Picks up a discarded plastic fork, which turns silver and makes a puddle in his hand. He shapes it into a ball and starts to toss it from one hand to the other. NightHawk arches an eyebrow at this but says nothing.

Raises and eyebrow
Posted by Nueva on 5/31/2001, 8:36 pm
and smiles, "interesting power, well you already know Ryely's." Nueva raises a hand and a small Green Flame Burns around it but does not burn her.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:29 pm
Quicksilver sighs and asks, "So where can I find this Nightwolf?" NightHawk glances out of the corner of his eye at Darkling as he mutters something in Gaelic. Looking back at Quicksilver he replied, "She is safe at my home here in New York. I would take you there but I fear what would happen if I did. Nightwolf is a tad....unstable at the moment." Quicksilver arches an eyebrow and says, "Unstable?" He glances at the other two then back to NightHawk.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:35 pm
"My guess?" says Darkling to Vendetta. "She's on the edge and 'Hawk doesn't want to admit it."
Vendetta cuffs him lightly and returns to watching.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:43 pm
NightHawk looks down at the floor. "You could say that. For some reason the wolf half of her is fighting for control. Why neither she nor I know. But I know it had something to do with the incident about a week ago when she shifted to her wolf/anthro form when she caught scent of Serpent. I don't know why it happened but it did." He looks up but looks at neither of the three but out the window. "And I'm afraid I'm going to lose her to the wolf half." Quicksilver simply stares at him then asks, "Does she by any chance have a wolf paw tattoo on her shoulderblade?" NightHawk slowly nods.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:46 pm
"A match?" Vendetta arches a brow at Quicksilver.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 8:49 pm
Quicksilver says, "My sister had a wolf paw tattoo on her shoulderblade." NightHawk looks up and softly says, "Then I suppose Nightwolf is your sister. Thought you would have to see her to confirm it." He looks at the boy and says, "But you must remember that she won't remember you. Any memory from before ten years ago she has forgotten."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 8:58 pm
"I could probably slide all four of us there," Shae volounteers. "It wouldn't be too hard. And I can't blink that far anyway."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 9:01 pm
NightHawk shakes his head and says, "Thanks." Quicksilver smiles and says, "That'd be great. If you will allow me to go NightHawk." NightHawk nods and says, "I will. But we have to go now. I'm afraid I've already left Nightwolf alone for too long."

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 9:03 pm
"Alright," Darkling nods. "You'll have to describe it as thoroughly as you can to me. Or let Jett kythe with you, so she can give me a mental image. It's a long way and I don't any accidents."
Vendetta keeps her face blank.

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 9:05 pm
NightHawk quickly describes the house as a tall two story brick building just outside Central Park with vines creeping up its sides, a black door, and small windows.

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 9:07 pm
"Okay, I've got it." Darkling nods, stands and holds out his hand. "Nighthawk, you take my hand. Quicksilver, make sure you're touching Nighthawk. I'll slide us there and slide myself right back, okay, Jett?"
"Fine with me."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 9:08 pm
NightHawk takes Darkling's hand and Quicksilver grabs a hold on NightHawks trenchcoat. "Ready!"

Posted by Vendetta/Darkling on 5/31/2001, 9:11 pm
Darkling leads the trio into a shadowy corner. Before anyone can change their mind, all three of them seem to meld with the darkness and disappear.
A breath later, the trio is standing in an alley across from a building like the one Nighthawk described. Darkling has a slight bead of sweat on his forehead.
"That was longer than I thought," he says with a smile. "That the place? Please tell me that's the place."

Posted by Quicksilver/NightHawk on 5/31/2001, 9:12 pm
NightHawk nods and replies, "That's it." Suddenly a howl rips through the air. "Oh God. TAGRE!!" He runs for the door, fumbles with a key, then dissapears inside. Quicksilver turns to the two and says, "Thanks!" With that he runs inside and closes the door behind him.
