EVENT 1 - A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING
![]() |
Who; EVERYONE! What; The fearless leader of HQ has some information for a waiting crowd Where; Cafeteria When; August 2nd, 8:30pm - ?? Warnings; None as of yet, can be changed if content changes A text message will be sent to the phones of all new arrivals in HQ at 2am on the 2nd. The text message contains the following: "Greetings new arrivals! I'm certain all of you have dozens of questions and I'd very much like to answer them. If you would humor me, please meet me tomorrow evening at 9pm in the Cafeteria. It isn't the best location for a disclosure meeting, but I believe we all may fit. Until then, have a good evening." When everyone arrives to the cafeteria that night, they will find people who may or may not be familiar seated a table along the far wall near the bar. Luther, Nathan, Gus, and Airy are all present, as well as three faces they have yet to see. At the head of the table, an older man with a noble bearing and friendly smile watches as the new arrivals shuffle in. To his right is a striking woman who seems to be watching people arrive with an air of annoyance, and a younger man to his left who rarely looks up from the sketchbook in front of him. |
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
Ain't very different. [She eyes him curiously before adding her own introduction.]
My pleasure? Aren't you charming. You can call me Rogue.
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
A pleasure to meet you, Rogue. [he hesitated, then spoke quietly.] In the interests of honesty, I should tell you I have met an alternate universe version of you, before this place. It has nothing to do with us, per se, but it is also true.
[Pulse nodded to her, eyes steady on hers.]
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
[Rogue's met the alternate version of Gambit here and while it's odd it isn't the strangest things she's encountered. She's happy for his honesty and she hadn't expected that, let alone an explanation.]
As long as you don't expect me to remember anything, hon.
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
[ He offered her his hand, eyes starting to almost glow. ]
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
Do you want to go into a coma? [She can't control it and she takes great care not to touch anyone and yet he knew her and just offers? Rogue can't understand that and she doesn't want to hurt people like that.]
Re: Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
In addition, I've been trained in how to make the thoughts and memories front and center in my mind, so that if you touched me, all you would get was those exact memories, and nothing else. And I would stop your power before it got anything else, even a drop of life force.
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
A part of her wants to, nothing strange, but to feel the heat of someone else’s skin beneath her finger tips. Another part of her is terrified of the idea, what if it doesn’t work? What if she hurts someone again? It isn’t easy to live with and the memories of Ms. Marvel still haunt her waking hours.
She bites her lower lip feeling a rise of frustration knot in her core.] No. [Her tone is sharp and her usually charming smooth southern draw is thick.]
Your dealings with that Rogue aren’t any concern of mine.
[Rogue doesn’t want to touch him, she doesn’t want to feel what she knows she can’t have and knowing it’s an option only makes her heart ache in her chest.]
Re: Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
Right. Sorry. Just thought I would offer.
I wont bother you.
[ And he turned to go. One thing he didn't need was more fighting. Nope. No thanks. ]
Rogue (Animated)-Pulse
She isn't one to apologize but that doesn't mean that they can't try and be friends. The news is unsettling and Rogue will need more than a few minutes, more than a night to process everything.]
