OOC - Adjectiveless X-Men

[ms_tique]

Well, it's official. According to Joe Q of Marvel, the new "Adjectiveless" X-Men lineup will be Cable, Mystique, Rogue, Cannonball, Sabretooth, and Iceman. You'd think I'd be happy about my little Blue B-List Baby getting into a regular title

Ooooh, Marvel. Sucks verily. I'm betting Rav has an exterior motive. Because it's just TOO dumb, otherwise.

By the way, someone wants us to do the Two Problems Solve Other Ones again. Interested or do you think once was enough?

I hope she doesn't get the Magneto treatment. "This week, she's a compassionate mother who wants nothing more than to knit wooly sweaters. Next week, she MUST KILL ALL HUMANS." Based on her last appearance in X-Men (the shame of Foxx still burns) I'm not holding my breath.

I'd love to! It was a lot of fun the last time. I need to post Val's baby shower first. One condition, though. This time, we should agree to both give each question at least a token answer. I was feeling pretty swamped by the end last time around.

Ugh. FOXX. You'd think a master seductress would try something on Gambit better than the uber-Goth jailbait hickeybiter. And the motivation was all 'the hell?' anyway. Seduce Gambit? Why not just kill Gambit, replace him, take the first chance to have her catch him shagging a student and pretend to be kicked out of the house? much more efficient, and it's not like she didn't have the chance.

I'm really sorry I stopped with my share halfway through. Rest assured it WON'T happen again, and may I mention, huzzah?!

I spent the whole arc thinking, "pleaseletitnotbemystique" then just hung my head in shame when it was. I have to admit, there were some amusing moments of RP when I had to pull some kind of freakish justification for that out of Mystique's ass.

I think that's part of the fun of playing a currently active character. You may be moving in one direction with your RP, and then suddenly -bam- you're telling everyone some bizarre canon move was actually in your plan all along! At least Brubaker has a good reputation. Marvel apparently seduced him away from DC, where he was supposed to be well liked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Huzzah! We should find an unanswered question from the end of the last one (I still can't believe how many people wrote in! That rocked!) to kick this one off. If there aren't any funny enough ones, I'm good with making up a sample to start the post. I think that helped get people into the spirit of the thing.

I heard the rumours that it was Tiquey and just prayed it was a) not that bad and b) not that obvious. But God, that arc sucked.

Ah, yes. Justifying canon. Wonder why Tom's an MPD brainwash mess these days? Blame Austen. That's my big one, fucking Tom's brain up so much. Everything else canon post-Austen I just admit I'm ignoring.

Brubaker is supposedly great, and they just got Mike Carey, who is also of good rep, so we'll see. But he's got Bachalo in tow, and the idea of poor Mystique under Bachalo...*weeps* Why? Austen, Milligan and now Bachalo-king-of-suck-art?

It was great. Two pages of questions sent in, wow. I was shocked-and-awed. When should we do this?

[ms_tique]

Whenever you are. Heck, I'm free tonight.

[thomas_small]

It would probably be easier for me if it was on a Friday or Saturday. My after-noon/night schedule is often erratic over the weekdays, and I may not be on past nine-thirty tonight.

[ms_tique]

Ah, the joy of timezones. Let me wait and see what the consensus is on the House of M chat. I want to get that ball rolling first. I don't think I can dedicate two evenings to RP this weekend.

[thomas_small]

Point. HoM first. We can go at this any time.
