It's that time again. It's that time to see if you're still here and a-posting. Reply to this thread NO LATER than October 16, 2023 at Noon (GMT-6) to keep your characters. The login name is what you originally signed up as. The display name is what shows when you're online. It is NOT necessarily your Discord name. Do not use Discord as a replacement for the AC. If you go to edit profile, your user name is to the upper right and your display name is the first thing in the field. Your contact preference is whether you would prefer to be contacted by PM on site or through Discord. We are also requiring that each canon you control to be active in order to keep them. To show this we need a link to an IC post ( NOT your character application) either as part of a thread or as part of a solo you have done for that character since July 15, 2023. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO SUPPORT CHARACTERS OR OCs. For support characters and OCs, all you need to do is write down that you want to keep them. While you can, say delete the section on canons if you only have an OC, make sure to otherwise keep to format as much as possible as it reduces ambiguity. [b]Your Login Name:[/b] [b]Your Display Name:[/b] [b]Your Name on Discord (if you have one):[/b] [b]Contact Preference:[/b]
[b]Canon characters:[/b] Character 1 URL Character 2 URL Character 3 URL
[b]Support and OCs I wish to keep:[/b]
[b]CHARACTERS I WISH TO DROP:[/b] IF your first character was apped or accepted after this message was posted, you don't have to reply here. You're too new to go on haitus! (but the regular posting rules still apply). If you have a canon accepted after this message, they don't need to provide a link to an IC post yet (but do still try to post with them). Byes: In sports, a bye is automatic advancement in a tournament without having an actual match. In the same way, we will allow byes here. You will not need to show a post with some characters. Instead, you can just write bye rather than adding a link. You don't need to write bye for support or OC characters. Once you have 4 canon characters (excluding OCs and support), you can take a bye. You get another bye at 8 canons, 12 canons, etc. You cannot use a bye for the same character for two ACs in a row. For example: if you play Captain America, Kingpin, Medusa, Professor Xavier, Silver Sable, Spider-Man, Millie the Model (a support character), and an OC named Casanova, you'd only get one bye because you don't play 8 characters that can use byes. You'd get a second bye if you then picked up Hawkeye and Rocket Raccoon.

Every so often we have a contest on site. This is a writing contest. This contest is a bit different from others as it's tied to a site event. Basically, it asks how your character is dealing with the Secret Invasion. It's also a bit different in that it can be a solo or a thread with other players. Please include SECRET INVASION CONTEST: in your thread's subject line. For example: "SECRET INVASION CONTEST: A QUESTION OF LOYALTY". This is meant for more personal side stories than main event stuff. Think of it as a tie-in comic.
Eligibility: All players with at least one accepted character are eligible to participate in the contest. Admin/Mods will not be in the running for any prizes, but may participate. In order to count, a solo thread needs to be at least 1,500 words. For group threads, your contribution also needs to be at least 1,500 words. This can be across any number of posts. To avoid stalling, a player may be skipped if they haven't replied in 72 hours. Threads may continue on after the deadline, but no new posts will count for the contest. Players may only win for one entry but may submit more than one.
The Stakes: FIRST PLACE PRIZE 100 bonus posts to your counter, a gold medal No-Prize. SECOND PLACE PRIZE 50 bonus posts to your counter, a silver medal No-Prize. THIRD PLACE PRIZE 25 bonus posts to your counter, a silver medal No-Prize. Anyone else who submits for the contest gets a silver medal No-Prize.
The Deadline: The deadline for threads both solo and group will be Nov 1, 2023 at Noon CST.
The Voting: After the contest is closed, a poll will be added to vote on the site's favorites.

ROGUE IN THE BICAMERAL MENTALITY -- -- -- -- HEY, SUGAH! ⦻
Much like Danvers, Rogue wasn't exactly expecting Warpath to show up. While she knew he wasn't on one of the missions, when X-men weren't on-the-clock so to speak, they sometimes pursued personal agendas, around the mansion or far from it. Lord knows she'd followed dead end trails after Gambit more than once in the past few months. She had expected he was still doing his own thing.
Unlike the Avenger, Rogue didn't jump out of her skin. Perhaps her proximity to Nightcrawler meant that sudden appearances just didn't activate her fight-or-flight response in quite the same way.
Given how battle hardened the soldier was, it was a bit surprising, her yelp. Although, she'd used her powers on enough combat veterans to realize that sometimes the disarray of a battlefield stayed with someone long after they've physically left it.
"Captain Marvel is here askin' on Jean, seein' how we're holdin' up.", Rogue explained.
It may well be a bit more somber of a reason than anticipated. Template adapted from Silv.

THE BLOB IN
Dinomania!
"Any of you people ever time travel 'cause that's what this could be if we go through this thing, course it could also be some other dimension, or just something normal, like the Savage Land."
It was a testament to how long he had been in the business, both as a hero and as a villain, that he considered a fantastical land of dinosaurs, sabretooth cats, and ancient deadly ruins deep in a forbidding jungle to be normal.
"That reinforcements idea's a good one, especially if we get stuck. We walk through without tellin' anyone, we could be stuck in the Triglycerides era without anyone knowing what happened."
His point was sound, even if the exact words confused a set of eons with fatty blood.
"Hey, kid with the staff, can you use that to write a note in the sky or something, y'know, like the Fantastic Four do with their little flare thing?"

♦ Vision Girl's own time was exactly as expected given the environmental factors, and the amount of her energy reserves she chose to expend in that moment. Unlike Patrick, she did not get the synthezoid equivalent of an adrenaline surge. This wasn't so much due to the impossibility of that exact chemical reaction within her own matrices, but more that it was not something for which she would expend more energy.
She emerged from the water. Her synthetic hair somewhat resembled the way human hair behaved when wet, but there was still something slightly off about it. Maybe it was the exact composition of it compared to natural hair. Her equivalent to skin likewise held onto the little drops of water that had previously surrounded it slightly differently.
WAS THERE SOMETHING THAT ENGAGED YOUR LIMBIC SYSTEM BEFORE COMING TO THE POOL THAT MAY HAVE PRIMED YOUR BODY TO EXCEED YOUR NORMAL EXPECTATIONS?.

♦ It was an unusual gambit. The killer robot would not really consider the protests of either subject that it falsely deemed a mutant, but it would certain trust its own faulty sensors.
SCANNING. NEGATIVE RESPONSE REQUESTED. SUCH A MUTANT REQUIRES DESTRUCTION NOT CAPTURE. ENGAGING.
The Sentinel found a fault in itself because it soon launched its own fist from its body, aided in its flight by mini jet boosters. It then took a large U-turn to sail back around and strike its own chest. This impact must have caused catastrophic internal damage as the colossal machine fell backwards, inert. Its glowing and menacing eyes faded as power left it.
As fortunate as they were that neither one of them were crushed by the Sentinel's collapse, the strike did nothing to negate the nets it had deployed earlier.
EVEN IF THE SENTINEL DID NOT CALL IN REINFORCEMENTS, AND I DID NOT DETECT ANY TRANSMISSION, IT WILL BE 7 HOURS, 48 MINUTES, 36 SECONDS UNTIL MY SOLAR JEWEL HAS ENOUGH ENERGY TO CUT THIS NET. WHILE I WILL BE FINE WITH SUCH IDLE TIME, AS A HUMAN, YOU MAY HAVE A VARIETY OF PRESSING BIOLOGICAL NEEDS BEFORE THEN.

OH, MY STARS AND GARTERS!🔬 ⨂ 🧪
"Baroness Blood . . . that is a name I am not familiar with. Still, the nom de guerre is concerning. In the best case scenario, she is merely some manner of warlord, naming herself by a combination of ancient title and what drips down her sharpened blade. Given the other connotations, she may be a vampire or a hemokinetic or worse, both at once, worse still would be a trifecta."
"If this message was originally intended for the Wolverine, it would not be unreasonable to surmise that she is a formidable physical opponent. One does not need to invoke a berserker for a push over"
"If she is indeed a vampire, he may be planning a beheading. If not, claws are still eviserating."
He then addressed the Bamf directly.
"Do you know where Nightcrawler is now? To be clear, this not an invitation to teleport us directly there at this moment. It is simply an inquiry."

OFFICE OF J. JONAH JAMESON, JR. PUBLISHER, THE DAILY BUGLE J. Jonah Jameson, Jr. was a man with a long memory. Well, that wasn't entirely true. When it came to his often rash decisions, he could be counted on to not remember having fired one of his people in a rage mere moments ago. When it came to threats against his paper, his memory was long.
A while ago, one of Spider-Man's goons attacked his office. This wasn't unusual in and of itself, they often came by at their kingpin's behest.
What was unusual was that a different masked idiot had misinterpreted a want ad and had shown up that very night to try and get a job as a security guard. His temp position didn't work out but he did remember the guy.*
It was a fortunate bit of kismet that J. Jonah Jameson, Jr. decided to walk through the lobby that morning with coffee in hand. He wore a dark blue suit, white dress shirt, and black tie.
That's when the pink and white spandex caught the corner of his eye. "What in the blazes are you doing here in that stupid costume at this time of day?! This is a place of business! We dress like it! We aren't hiring some Gen Z kid with pink highlights who thinks that a T-shirt and baggy pants is appropriate work attire!"
Also, Deadpool Girl, I hope you can read better than he can. Do you know what kind of ridiculousness it was having to spend 20 minutes going over a simply worded paragraph with a grown ass man? If I wanted to teach snot nose brats how to read, I would have become an educator! No, strike that. I am an educator, school of hard knocks. You learn to be a damn journalist in the real world or you're out on your ass!"

OH, MY STARS AND GARTERS!🔬 ⨂ 🧪
The speech patterns of the little creature were certainly idiosyncratic. The Beast dealt with many whose idiolects bordered on a very niche dialect. The X-man himself often spoke in ways that left others flummoxed. This was confusing, probably somewhat exacerbated by the Bamf's panic.
The panic seemed to be about the creature's tendency to not follow directions, even though for now it did follow the Beast's instructions not to touch anything within his lab.
The Bamf said that it couldn't say but could show. At first, he thought that this was due to exacerbation. It continued on, revealing that it wasn't meant to tell anyone what exactly Nightcrawler was up to. Whatever it was and whatever Nightcrawler's reasons, the Bamf must have been concerned enough to try and get around those instructions.
"Whatever it is your tongue doesn't speak," the Beast began, "I am reasonably certain whatever it is you show me will do the talking for it."

ROGUE IN THE BICAMERAL MENTALITY -- -- -- -- HEY, SUGAH! ⦻
Danvers' tone changed. She was trying to break the ice. It was sudden. Maybe it was a change in tactic.
Danvers told Rogue that she didn't mean to imply anything with her comment. Rogue didn't seem to take overt offense to it. The two weren't currently leveling the mansion with mountain-destroying blows.
Rogue listened as Captain Marvel tried to piece together the why of most of the X-men being missing. Out of the town. That'd be lovely. It did happen on rare occasion but usually for a handful of them at a time.
"This is a school. Most of the X-men are on a mission. I'm holdin' the fort. If Ultron comes 'round to the Avengers Mansion and tries to level it, well, y'all are adults who know exactly what you signed up for. Y'all can fight 'im. If someone comes 'round here lookin' for a ruckus, we need adults here to fight 'em off 'cause these kids ain't necessarily there yet. Even if they are, they're kids sugah, they get inta all sorts of trouble. It's like havin' a dozen Clint Bartons. C'mon, you should meet 'em."

HAIL HYDRA
The first mutant tried to get ahold of the situation. It wouldn't be able to. Of course it wouldn't. It was a fish on dry land. It was facing the architect of the Fifth Reich. Even if the shipman was unsure of the visitor, he wasn't exactly in a position to throw away any sort of aid at a time like this. "There was an explosion first and — and then shots and—" He looked around the corner as if to check if the coast was clear. It wasn't. It really and truly wasn't. Another shot range out piercing through the air with a deafening boom. The target was not Namor. The Submariner was meant to be taken alive. That directive wouldn't save the men and women who crewed the bait. It was their purpose in luring the live prey to begin with. The question now was whether or not Namor could save the man in the middle of this warzone.
"Wherever there was injustice, tyranny, ruthlessness, the RED SKULL was there leading the attack on the weak and helpless!"

I'm going to say no to Apoc and co. because they just had a storyline. This isn't to say Gambit (or whoever) couldn't be involved.
Likewise, demon versions of various characters would be fine as a sort of demon earth or something. If they're in plain sight, that's a bit closer to the current Secret Invasion.
