AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, ORIGINAL PLOT X-MEN RPG

Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Learn To Live With What You Are (Raina's Cell)

The song I'm using (I like making song posts) is by Ben Folds. Cuz I love that guy. The melody itself isn't quite as sad as I'd like, but I thought the lyrics were very true to the Raina/Rupe situation.

ic:

Raina was escorted back to her cell and saw that Natalie was not there. Without thinking she sat down on the younger mutants bed. She stared at her hands blinking. It took her a moment to realize she was crying.

I know that you're in there
I can see you
You're saying you're ok
I don't believe you

And now that the gig is off
The spell is broken
The fat lady sung
The president has spoken

She began to sob until her collar kicked in and the sobbing subsided. She sniffled and slumped her head. She'd barely seen his face but she knew it was Rupert. She'd know him anywhere.

It was her own fault the situation had gotten as bad as it did. Afterall, Rupert made it clear his feelings about mutants... it wasn't fair of her to think he would change or do anything less than what he thought was right.

These days that you were waiting for
Will come and go
Like any day
Just another day

She stood up suddenly feeling anxious and began to walk through the small room, pacing back and forth.

She absentmindedly put her hand to her stomach. After 7 weeks the pit of emptiness had never left the small space.

There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are

Her lips began to tremble as she thought about the baby she would have had. She changed her thoughts back to Rupert. It wasn't his fault she decided. He didn't know. He didn't know she was pregnant. He didn't know she was a mutant. She should have been honest from the get go.

She sat in the middle of the room on the floor completley overwhelmed by the situation.

So freak out if you wanna
And I'll still be here
Don't call me for years and when you do
Yeah, I'll still be here

I'm not saying the effort is a waste of time - but I
Just love you for the things you couldn't change
Though you've tried
These hours of confusion they will soon expire
Like everything
Does

That's when it hit her and hit her hard. It didn't matter how angry she was him, with the situation either. She'd even lost a child. He'd hung up, he'd ignored, he'd been here this whole time and never once reached out. But it didn't matter. It didn't matter. she knew she still loved Rupert. She hated herself for it.

Sometimes
Everything you've ever wanted
Floats above
He's sticking out his tongue and laughing
While everything
Anyone can ever need
Is down below
Waiting for you
To know this
There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live with what you are

You got to learn to live with what you
You got to learn to live with what you
Are

She rocked herself back and forth like a child trying to calm themselves.
