  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Xavier shrugged. "I like to think of it as unique. Not many Xaviers in the world, but those that are around are pretty darn cool. Professor X was a super powerful mutant, so that's got to mean omething. Anyway, nice to meet ya Adam."

Xavier turned and sat on the other bed across the room. He unpacked is napsack into the dresser on his side of the room and hung his two dress shirts in the closet. Maybe this place would have a dance or something. At least he'd have something nice to impress the chicks with.

Elizabeth smiled at Xavier as he left, then accepted her room key from the smiling lady. Room 213, she read, then went off to find it.

When she got there, Addie was waiting for her, nose already buried in a book. "Hey, Addie! Funny that we're roommates, huh?"

Shrug.

"What book are you reading?"

Addie tipped it slightly so she could read the title.

"The Fellowship of the Ring," Elizabeth read. "Looks weird."

"It's fantasy."

"Oooohhhh...sounds cool! Is it good?"

"Yeah."

"Cool! What's it about?"

"I'm only fifteen pages in, so if you don't mind..."

"Okay, okay, sorry!" Elizabeth backed away and out the door. Out in the hallway, she leaned against the wall.

Where to now?

"Cool." Riley said not really sure what else to say to a response like that. She continued to eat her food.

"I hope they have sports teams in this 'school' , At my old school, i was on the lacross team, and track."

"Yeah sports are kinda fun. I didn't really get into sports seriously because I was moving around so much, but I was on a cross country and track team once. I think I played a season or two of soccer too. I've never played lacrosse though." Elya chewed on her food thoughtfully. "Do you like playing lacrosse? I've heard it's a really violent game."

Warren perked up at the mention of lacrosse. He'd played it one year in eighth grade. He almost burst out laughing and ended up snorting when Elya said it was a violent game. That was one of the reasons it was so fun. Warren had seen some guys get hurt pretty badly he had to admit, but that was just part of the game. The speed and cut throat nature of the game made it exhilirating. He hoped they would have a lacrosse team too.

After Belle was done eating a lady talked about what would happen and rules, and such. After that, she went to the library. She found a book called The Dark is Rising. It looked interesting, so she picked it up and took it back to her room. She got out her iPod, put her headphones on, and started reading.

"I guess you could say it's violent; I enjoy the rush. I guess I'm used to playing football with all my cousins. They're like older brothers to me. I'm really gonna miss them." Riley took a sip of her soda. "Have you played any sports Warren?" She had noticed how distant Warren was being and was trying to bring him into the conversation.

As Xavier began to unpack his stuff, Adam decided to set down some ground rules.

"Dont touch any of my stuff. I took the dresser on the left and the bed on the left is mine. Dont let me catch you going through my stuff, alright." Adam said as he looked down on Xavier. Whenever Adam stood over someone, his was pretty intimidating, being how tall he was.

Elya nodded at Riley’s explanation. She didn’t really have anyone she was going to miss. Somehow she had managed to make a lot of friends in all the places she went, but not keep them. She turned to Warren with a teasing smile.

Warren reddened slightly. He was embarrassed now that attention was drawn to him. “I’ve played lacrosse,” He gave a nervous grin. “and soccer. But Elya hasn’t told you how naturally athletic she is.” He tactfully turned the conversation back to Elya.

Elya shook her head. She knew he would find some way to get out of the spotlight. “But Warren is even more naturally athletic.” Elya gave Warren an apologetic smile. She was only doing this for his own good.

((Finally posting, sorry it took so long))

Kevin Mateus entered the school, noting how late he was. He walked to a lady who walked forward to greet him. He ignored most of what she said, never slowing down to really listen. All he could pick out was that most of the inhabitants were currently eating.

He considered eating, but the thought did not arouse any sense of hunger. He calimed his key from a staff member and entered the cafeteria. He considered leaving his baggage with the others, but decided against it. He was surprised at the paucity of security. Some of his belongings were less than... appropriate. The switchblade in one pocket, and a zippo in the other, attested to that.

As he walked into the eating area, he noticed the sheer number of people he would have to deal with. With a sigh, he took and empty seat near a collection of people. All he had heard of their conversation was how athletic someone was.

"Mind if I sit here? I just came in, and... you all seem the most... welcoming."

Searching for a way to enter their trust, those were the words he came up with. They were not "welcoming," only convenient. Yet, convenience was welcoming in an odd way.

Xavier looked up at the guy looming over him.

"Sounds fair to me bro. We all need our space. Just try not to keep me up at night. Academics aren't very enjoyable, but good grades are kinda necesary now if I want to be anything in life, if ya know what I mean."

Xavier returned to putting his things away.

"By the way, if ya hear of any parties or whatever, let me know. There's got to be some kinda fun around here."

..................................................................................................


Dani watched as another guy joined the table of teens discussing sports. For some reason he caught her attention more than anyone else in the room. She couldn't quite put hjer finger on it, but he intrigued her. She wondered if he'd be in any of her classes...

Adam could have laughed as Xavier spoke of good grades. Adam was not academicly gifted. He wasn't the brightest bulb, but maybe if he actually tried he could do better.

This guy Xavier seemed like the popular type. Adam wasn't too sure how well they would get along. Adam walked back over to his bed and laid down on his back, staring p at the ceiling.

Riley turned and looked at the boy appraoching.

"Mind if I sit here? I just came in, and... you all seem the most... welcoming."

"Sure." Riley said as she slid over to make more space for the newcomer. " I'm Riley, and this is Warren and Elya. " Riley thn waited for this guy to introduce himself. He seemed pretty cool, but maybe just a bit too serious.

((I'm gonna move things along a bit. dani will be the first to meet with the Headmaster just to giveyou guys an idea of how the meetings will be. When your ready for your meeting, pm me and let you know when to meet with him. ))


Dani finally got bored and decided to go back up to her room. When she got in, she noticed that her computer was flashing something in the lower right corner. She clicked o it and a video popped up. It was the peppy woman again.

"Daniella, we are asking that you meet with the headmaster in the upstair office at 5:30 tonight. we understand that this is short notice, but as you can imagine there are many people in the school that he must meet with. You will be finished in time for dinner. Thank you, and have a nice evening."

Just as easily as he video had popped up, it was gone.

dani looked at the clock. 5:15. "Great, I'm gonna be late with my first meeting with the bossman..."

She grabbed her key and left the room in search of the headmaster's office. After a couple wrong turns and a few choice words, Dani found what she was looking for. She knocked gently on the door.

"Come in." she obeyed. "Please, have a seat dear." The man sitting behind the desk looke like any other principal could be exected to look like. He had on a dark suite, wore glasses, and was slightly balding in the middle of his head. dani had to stop herself from giggling at his all-too-generic look. She sat down in the seat as instructed.

"So, Dani I have just a couple of questions to ask you." He went on to question her about her past, her family, her favorite foods, what she'd like to study, and what field she planned on going into. Suddenly, Dani began to feel very strange. The room felt as if it were spinning. suddenly, it stopped. The headmaster looked at her intently.

"are you alright dear??" she nodded.

"Yeah- I mean yes sir. I- I just felt a little woosey that's all. Probably from the trip and all."

He nodded. "Yes, perhaps we should continue this another time. You should go and get some rest my dear."

dani nodded and got up. When she got to her room and looked at the clock she was shocked. 7:30... had she really been there for two hours?? Strange, it hadn't flt like even 20 minutes had gone by...



........................................................................................................................


Horatio smiled at the girl who walked into his office. He went through the routine questions he had practced. This girl would be his first official test. His assistants had pin pointed her as one of the few students who had not yet et anyone. That meant that if anything didn't go quite as planned, she could simply be earased from the system, no questions asked. He continued with his questions and waited for it to happen. The gas wasslowly released from the chair, and soon, she was out cold. He hit the button beneath the desk and soon two large men entered the office.

"well gentlemen, this is it. Our first subject... place her in the machine,. He opened what had looked like a mirror and revealed a secret door. They carried the girl thriough it and placed her on the machine bed. They hooked the monitors up to her noted her vital signs. Then, they closed the machine.

"Here we go." Horatio sat down at the control panel and started up the machine. He took notes of her bodily reactions and made sure the girl's vital signs stayed normal. After a while, the machine hummedto a stop and the top lifted. The girl lay motionless on the bed.

"She should reawken with another ten minutes sir." dr. Kanner nodded at his assistant. "Thank you. PLease bring her back to the chair. She cannot think that she was unconscious. Quickly!!!"

Within another few minutes, the girl opened her eyes and looked around.

"are you alright dear??" he asked.

"Yeah- I mean yes sir. I- I just felt a little woosey that's all. Probably from the trip and all."

He nodded. "Yes, perhaps we should continue this another time. You should go and get some rest my dear."


Thegirl nodded and left. Horatio smiled. "Within a few weeks, her developement should be very advanced. We will have to wait and see what becomes of our little guinea pig..."

((Kevin is not responding so i'm just going to pretend they had a conversation.))

"Well, i've gott to get going to my room, I have alot of stuff to unpack." Riley told the group.

"Yea, we should probably get going too. We haven't even been to our rooms. "Elya added.

"I'll see you later Kevin." Riley said before she left. Then she raced up to her room. She truely did have alot of unpacking to do, but thevery fist thing she dii was place a picture of her family on her nightstand beside her bed. Riley took a deep breath. It wouldn't be long till they were together again.

((OK... anyone who hasn't met their room mate yet will have to use their imagination on how they met or decide now who their room mate is. We're time jumping two weeks, so we casn have a few more meetings and classes will be going on. Around this time, Dani will strart showing signs of her inhancement, but it isn't very obvious that anything is different about her. Off we go!!))

Horatio looked over the chart. The girl seemed to be doing fine, and it was time for the next test. He buzzed his secretary and she came running.

"We're ready for the next girl. Send her the message. The boy will be soon after, so keep the stuff ready. That will be all."

The woman left and recorded the message she'd rehersed so many times, she just had to add the name and date. Belle would be next.

................................................................................................................

Dani woke up and yawned. It had been a fun weekend, but classes started again today. Monays... who would stand 'em?? No matter. She could see that her roommate Belle had a new message on her computer. She grabbed her clothes and headed down to the floor's bathroom for a shower. Once she was all nice and refreshed, she headed downstairs to get some breakfast.

"I'll betch it's eggs today. We haven't had eggs in a while and everyone seems to like them. I think that's what it'll be."

Belle nodded. "I'll be down shortly. I'm just going to check my message and such." She told Dani.

Belle opened up the message and was surprised that it was from the principle. He wanted to meet her, so, she dressed and left a note, incase she was gone longer than intended, but she doubted she'd need it. She mad her way to the principle's office and knocked.
