Time Honored Tradition - Rate The Hunk @ 06:24 pm

[info]anyastark:

Anya had spent Thanksgiving with her team and with her family. Early dinner in Boston and then dinner with the family in New York in the evening. It was great having two Thanksgiving Day dinners. The best part of the holiday after the food was the day after Thanksgiving. It wasn't for the shopping or the deals, but for the time honored tradition of rating the male members of the superhero community.

Anya had the rec room of the Avengers mansion all prepared. Pizza, snacks, drinks of the soft kind and other various items for eating and drinking were laid out. Electronics were all prepared for the event. All that was left was for the guests to arrive.

Winter Wonderland! (Meme) @ 10:15 am

[info]aceofhearts:

Etoile woke up curled next to Lyta. They both spent the night doing girly talking and watching crazy movies until the wee hours of the morning. She moves out of the bed as quietly as she could, stretching for a bit and moves to the window. To her amazement, the entire school grounds were covered in snow!

"Holy crap, Lyta....Lyta!" Etoile calls out to her, she suddenly felt the urge to go outside and play in the snow.

All Hallow's Eve @ 11:14 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

A bond as deep as family @ 10:21 am

[info]aceofhearts:

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and months have gone by since Etoile lost her family. Upon arriving at the Mansion, her life had been altered in many ways. She gained new ground by establishing connections with her fellow team mates. Not only are they friends, they became her second family.

Etoile never gave up on searching for her family. To those who /know/ her, may have thought she forgot about her main purpose. In fact, she never lost sight of it. She spent every awaking moment to locate them. Whenever she wasn't doing a mission, she did recon missions to gather up information.

Each moment she left the comfort of the Mansion, she would come home with some sort of wound.

Tattered, torn and bruised.... )

Opportunity Knocking (Open to X'ers) @ 04:38 pm

[info]wiz_kid:

Bypassing the main security (challenging enough to be fun), successful, so now Bentley is at the actual front door, instead of just the front gate. They kept the place classy-looking, he had to admit. Not that Reed hadn't always tried to preserve the historical architecture of the Baxter Building, but it didn't have that old money feel that the Xavier mansion did. Anyway, hopefully hacking, overriding, and just plain mission-impossibling (yes that's a verb) his way past the outer rings of security would give him some credibility.

And he'd totally pay for the landscaping repairs. Honestly, if automated systems couldn't get him in one shot, why waste the ammo or energy on bunches of them?

He knocked at the door.

Dinner, Drinks and a bit of R&R (open to those Tim knows) @ 09:42 pm

[info]shield_legacy:

It took a little to get settled into the new job and Tim was quite content working for Stark Inc. The money and the opportunity were too good to pass up and it gave him the space he needed. Now that he was settled and could kick back a little and relax, he sent an email to people he knew. The invitation was to meet at the The Malt House in the Village for food and drinks.

Tim sat at a table typing up notes on his Stark Tablet.

Manhunt @ 10:12 pm

[info]nextgen_shield:

The X-Men had informed Shield of the resurgence of the U-Men and since then Donnelly had feelers out to see how extensive the organization was. While on one of these searches some unexpected information fell into their laps. He quickly put in a call to the X-Men.

Waiting. And Waiting. And More Waiting. @ 09:58 pm

[info]fullmoonfever:

Greg sighed. New York was not one of his favorite cities, but it was home to one of his favorite music clubs. He only came to New York to visit that club. Right now he was not at that club, instead he was standing in an incredibly long line to get a coffee. He needed coffee. It had been a long night and he needed something to get his blood pumping.

A New Page in History @ 09:09 pm

[info]ng_xtremists:

Cape Citadel, Florida, home to a portion of the United States nuclear arsenal.  Notable for being the first public target of the then-terrorist mutant Magneto and the first public appearance of the X-Men who battled him there.  Not especially remarkable in and of itself, but quite notable in that the events there first brought the idea of mutants and the causes involved to the public attention.  It was a day that changed everything.

In the decades since, the stock of mutants has risen and fallen, sometimes with a fair amount of public support, sometimes with even those who called themselves heroes a little afraid to show themselves in public.  In the time since, Magneto had gone from a wanted and hated terrorist to a leader of men, with a nation of his own.  The X-Men continued their fight for mutant rights and equality, trying to show the world that they to, could be heroes. 

Today... today was going to be a day for the history books again.

It began with a flash of energy in the middle of the base, a teleportation device, and the appearance of seven women.  One, monstrous like a giant frog.  Another, taller than all the rest and built like a truck.  A slender, pale woman in red and a similar looking woman with blue hair.  Another, a blonde, staying at the fringes.  Another, a beautiful red haired woman.

And last, in crimson and purple armor, cape trailing behind her, and dark helmet upon her head.  She floated on the air on currents of magnetic force, looking at the world like she owned it all.  In scant moments, they defeated the soldiers who came to challenge them, mutant powers making it all too easy.

One of the others, the frog-woman, pulled out a small, camera-like device and pointed it at her.

She raised a hand, and a magnetic force field sprang into existence around the base, bent just enough to allow her transmission through.  It would soon be appearing on every television in the country.

"People of the United States, I am Magneta, daughter of Magneto.  And for too long have you oppressed our people!  Today, as my father once did, we mutants strike back to take what is ours!  My X-Tremists and I have seized your nuclear arsenal.  We demand the total surrender of your government, or else I shall unleash them upon you.  Today is a call for all mutants to join us!  Rise up!  Rise up and join our cause!  Cast down your human oppressors!

To the government of the United States... you have twenty-four hours to abdicate.  You know what shall happen if my terms are not met."

The transmission ended there.

Encounters of the friendly kind @ 11:36 am

[info]aceofhearts:

Life had been pretty busy for Etoile. Missions, after missions, after missions -- she barely had time to breath! Honestly she loved every minute of it. What she loved most was her days off, when she could go and bug either Tim, Vlad or Shane.

Today she figured she would go and bug someone else. But who? Lyta wasn't around, nor could she find Cait...she stood there trying to figure who keeps avoiding one-on-one time with her. "Ah-ah!" She exlaims. If finally figured out who she could go bug; Fred!

Etoile headed towards the direction of where Fred mostly haunted. She quickly rushed off, wasn't watching where she was going. Suddenly she slams into someone who felt like a wall. Etoile bounces back, falling flat on her butt."Ow, ow, ow...sorry!" She quickly says, rubbing her nose a little.

Zoo Date(Etoile) @ 04:33 pm

[info]bornlucky:

Casey was in New York to check out some clubs to get some ideas for his own plans for expansion. Plus it was a good time to visit some friends who had moved to the States. It had been a fun trip so far though he did miss Sean who was staying with his parents. He was kind of worried he might have trouble getting him back later.

A friend of his had insisted on setting him up on a date. So he was supposed to meet up with his date at the central park zoo. He was taking some pictures of the animals on his phone while he waited.

Is This a Date? @ 10:47 pm

[info]shield_legacy:

Etoile sent Tim a text message with an address and a time. What was that girl up to? Curious, Tim showed up at the appropriate place and time. The club he was standing outside of was rather busy and he could hear the music from the street.

Luxury Resort Time! @ 11:30 pm

[info]aceofhearts:

Etoile planned a trip with a few friends to luxury resort to Bora Bora. Suddenly her friends backed out due to personal reasons. Etoile wasn't going to let this stop her from going on a much needed vacation. She packed up what is needed for her trip and took a very long plane ride and soon a boat ride to get to the main island. This island would have one of the best luxury resorts.

She suffered from a bit of jet lag, immediately she after getting set up in her little hut. She slept a good day, a very much needed rest. Etoile freshened up, slipping into one of her many bikini's, pulling on a pair of short-shorts and a tank top. Today would be the day for her to get her munch and sunshine on.

This place is pure heaven right now. She is glade she came here, even if she is alone.

Rock Climbing Weekend @ 11:11 pm

[info]shield_legacy:

Tim had promised Etoile they would go rock climbing and he wasn't one to break his promise. He gathered his gear and his suitcase. He met her at the airport and together they headed for Arizona. Once they touched down in Phoenix they climbed into a Jeep Wrangler and drove toward Canon de Chelly National Park where Spider Rock was waiting for them.

Tim pulled the Jeep into a small parking area and killed the engine.

Somewhere in Egypt @ 05:08 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

Gbadu and her followers gathered outside a small unknown temple in the desert near the ancient site of Akkaba. Inside one of the ancient temples the mutant known as En Sabah Nur lay in a state of suspended animation. Today they were here to awaken Apocalypse and unleash him on the world.

Survival @ 09:47 pm

[info]aceofhearts:

Etoile's world has been thrown into a loop, the days she had suddenly appeared at the front gate of Xavier's. She was sent here, not only to escape from being caught, but to gain more help from Xavier. Also, she wanted to lead a decent semi-normal life as a young mutant. University, building friendships, possibly love? Mainly, she wanted to be a part of the X-Men team. Both her parents were part of them for years, she felt the need to follow along.

Race, life's a race, and I'm gonna win )

Lazy Day @ 03:54 pm

[info]lightningbolt:

With all that had been happening Shane decided that he needed a day off from work. All things considered it might be a while before he really could get a day off again. So he called out of work with an excuse and slept in a bit.

He got up later and made himself a nice late big breakfast for himself. Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. And of course a nice cup of hot coffee.
 

Its the End of the World as We Know It @ 12:48 pm

[info]treadlightly:

They'd done their scouting. They've put up all the defenses they could, and put themselves in a position to attack. Buck has reviewed what they have on hand, and the situations exploding around them.

"Alright, folks, thank you for your patience. I know its been a tense situation waiting and doing patrol work... but I think we've identified some key points in the enemy strategy. We're still going to have to be careful. We're dealing with major influences here, but...

Alpha Flight... and their current guests, should be obvious. There's every sign that more of the Great Beasts will be awoken... that's a top priority situation.

X-Men... and the Genoshans - in following up the uprisings earlier, we've identified a 'Cult of Apocalypse', who took the whole massive fight before as a sign its time for En Sabbah Nur's awakening. We've located some of their likely strike points, your leadership has marked maps.


Champions and Thunderbolts, we've located a massive danger in the Red Lord. Its been determined that it will likely take both teams to deal with it.

Nightstalkers and Big Hero 6, we have a second target of the same type, Sakhmet. You two are on that.

SHIELD will be picking up on all of the general monitoring, crowd safety and control, and other work we've been doing in the lead up to this.

Finally, Avengers, Defenders and FF - you're with me. We're targeting the masterminds behind this.

Any questions?"

Live a life less ordinary @ 10:21 pm

[info]shield_legacy:

Big Nick's was one of Tim's favorite places for a burger and some beer. Sometimes he got pizza with the works instead. Tonight was a burger day with a glass of Guinness. It was on the late side of the night, but that was one of the great things about Big Nick's. It was open late to satisfy beer and burger cravings.

He sat in a booth and drank his beer while he fooled around on his computer tablet. His burger would be coming soon.

Deck The Halls (open for others for mistletoe meme) @ 10:22 pm

[info]_tsunami_:

Cait loved the holidays whether it was Saturnalia or Christmas. Both meant decorating and a lot of great food. Today was the start of decorating the mansion. Boxes upon boxes of decorations had been hauled out of storage and placed in the rec room. Thankfully Aunt Jean was a little anal retentive about labeling everything and putting everything back where it was supposed to go, so it saved having to dig through the boxes to find anything.

Cait opened a box and found a sprig, fake of course, of mistletoe laying on the top. Looks like that was going to be the first thing to be put up. She hanged it in the doorway of the rec room that led to the hallway. It was one of the most used doors in the mansion.
