Green and the Witch

TGRPC 5: Lilith
Who: Wanda, Lilith
What: Wanda gets some bike-locking advice and then she and Lilith discuss geography, New York, and the benefits of always having an escape route.

( There's a knack to it. Push inwards as you twist. )

Who: Magneto, Pietro, Wanda
What: Magneto throws a birthday dinner for his children. What follows is, as might be expected, a whole lot of awkwardness, anger, and sarcasm. But at least there's cake?

( Your scary mental picture for the day: Magneto singing Happy Birthday. )

TGRPC #1: Either Penny, Devon, or Betsy
Who: Penny, Devon, Wanda, Betsy
Where: Bronx Mall
What: MRA discussion. (I know this has been posted elsewhere. I'm posting again for RP Challenge posterity.)

( It's the shoeboxes you really have to look out for. )

I don't like doing this. I know for a fact that I wasn't the only one who was worried, and I'm probably not the only one angry now. It doesn't seem fair to take such personal offense when he walked out on everyone, but you know what? I do. I do take personal offense. I'm sure it wasn't intended as a slight to me, any more than he intended to personally offend Rogue or Marrow or any of the others, but it feels like one.

I mean, tell me what I should think. My brother -- not a stranger, not a teammate, but my brother -- comes back from who-knows-where and makes no mention of it to me. He knows where I sleep. He could have come by, and if that wasn't possible, he could've left a note. Last I checked, there was no paper and pen shortage in the HQ. Would three lines have been so hard? 'I'm back. Sorry I skipped out. I'll see you around.' But there were no notes, only rumors. So, is it wrong to assume that the reason he didn't tell me he was back was because he didn't want to? That I was somehow being avoided?

I'm his sister. I wish I could say that I don't expect special treatment, but I do. I expect to at least hear that he's back from him, not from gossip. I don't care if it takes him a little while, or if he has to settle in, unpack, and tell other people first, but I expect him to beat the rumors to my door. I expect it. I don't think it's unreasonable.

I don't want to be unreasonable. I know I can't expect him to check with me every time he wants to go in or out, and really, I don't want to know. I don't want to explain myself to him every time I come or go, either. I just want someone who's related to me to occasionally take into account the fact that I have feelings.

((OOC: This uncharacteristic tirade brought to you by the number 5 and letter P. :) The log will be posted to the XMR log community as soon as I have it cleaned up.))

The good news? My computer is fixed. The bad? My internet has now decided to do funny things. I get disconnected without warning and sometimes it won't let me on at all. We're hoping that this problem will be fixed tonight or tomorrow, but I wanted to explain why I've continued to be scarce and why I might continue to be absent these next few days. I'm coming back, I promise!

Who: Vibe, Tyson, Lanikai, Adam, Sally, Lorna
What: Some of the Xavier School students/staff meet up near the lake. (I think the scene continued after I left, but I only have the portion that Lorna was there for.)

( Holy crap, BEAR. )

Who: Cameron, Sally, Wanda
What: Random meeting in Times Square.

( Actually, I'm OCD, so I don't shake hands. )

Characters: Jace, Wanda
Summary: Jace is lurking in Grand Central, looking all nervous-like. Wanda notices and tries to be nice and street-rat-mentory. Jace gets suspicious, Wanda backpedals, they part ways. The end. :)

( I'm surprised you haven't heard about it yet. )

Who: Tyson, Wanda
What: Tyson runs into Wanda again. He calls her 'Wendy,' which is a little too close to her real name for comfort, and she proceeds to Freak. The Heck. Out. Poor Tyson.

( Who's Wendy? )

Who: Tyson, Wanda
What: Wanda has ducked into an arcade to grab some cheap vending machine food, and along the way she meets another teenager. The two discuss video games, New York City roaches, and Tyson's need for time away from his brothers. The conversation is cut short when said brothers show up to drag Tyson off.

( Brothers, vending machines, and arcade games. )

( A little game of three-on-three. )

( Breaking Curfew )

( Deliveries in a back alley? This is never good. )

( Profile: Wanda )
