New Stuff Around the Site
Aaaaand it's time for our revival, for the billionth time. Oh, how we are a stubborn board that refuses to die. The Cbox is looking prettier than ever with rules next to them now, and there will be more new stuff to come. Also, because of this, the Cbox rules will no longer be part of the General rules.

Canon Characters
There are plenty of canon characters still up for grabs, so head on over to the character list to see which ones are available. If you find a character that you're interested in playing, leave a post in the Character Request thread to get started. We're looking for new members, and everyone here is super friendly, so take a look around (guests can view almost all the forums here) and leave a comment in the Guestbook if you have any questions or want to introduce yourself.

Shay looked at Lance for a long moment in silence, her blue eyes filled with careful consideration and even a slight bit of fear. At last she gave a soft sigh and motioned towards the couch, taking a seat herself. "You might want to sit down for this...it's...it's a long story."
Once Lance was comoftable and seated near by, she did something she never did before: she opened herself up completely.

"You know how I asked if you ever thought about your past? Well...the reason I asked is because I think about it every single day...and it hurts like nothing else ever has. You see, I was orphaned at a very very young age; I don't even remember my real parents at all. The family I was taken into, well, they were very...opinionated people. They were very strong in their religion, they belonged to a cult, and felt that every single thing I did was a sin."

She paused and looked directly into Lance's eyes. "I was a sin in their eyes."

She looked away and instead stared distantly at the wall, as if reliving her time with her "parents" in her mind's eye. "It really wasn't so bad, though, at least not at first. They fed me, clothed me, and really didn't treat me badly unless I deserved it. Alas, as they say "nothing last's forever" and it proved to be true in this case. When I was about seven, my powers first started to emerge. The first time it happened, I had actually been playing the piano. My foster parents had me learn at an early age, saying that playing beautiful hymns would help show my humble desperation for acceptance--"

Here, she twitched slightly as she finished, "Since I was such a disgrace that my real parents didn't want me as I was so often reminded."

Shay felt hot tears of anger stinging her eyes as she remembered the events that followed. "Well, as I was in the middle of a hymn, I noticed a very soft white glow around my fingers. At first I just thought it was a trick of the light, but when I looked back down again I noticed that the keys were glowing the same as my hands. I screamed and fell backwards, but before I could hit the ground all of the keys literally flew from the piano and caught me; suspending me in midair. My "mother" heard my cry and came in to scold me, but when she saw my position..."

Another tear fell from Shayna's eyes as her frame started to tremble lightly. "S-s-she was so...so furious with me. She snatched me off of my makeshift hammock (I suppose that's how you'd describe it) and threw me to the ground, smacking me hard across the face and screaming that I was the spawn of the devil and deserved to burn for my sins. She locked me in the basement for about a week...and didn't bring food or water during that time. When she finally let me out, she informed me that I was no longer permitted to have a room upstairs and I spent the entire day moving what little things I had down to the basement. There was a small bed down there along with an old wooden dresser and a small table, but not much else besides storage and a washing machine/dryer. She did start sending me food again, but she wouldn't bring it too me. Instead she lowered a small basket through the laundry shoot that was usually filled with half a sandwich and a container of water. I tried so hard to keep my powers in check, but it's a very difficult thing to do when one doesn't even fully understand just what these powers are all about. Things would just happen and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it. Whenever my parents caught my powers acting up, they simply stopped sending me food down since I was already in the basement which was kept locked at all times unless one of them came down. Luckliy for me, it was a rare thing for them to come down; in fact they only did when...wh-when they'd beat me. "

Shayna looked down, sniffling softly as another tear fell from her eyes and splashed lightly on her tightly clenched hands. "It didn't last...because whenever I got really upset or angry...things started to happen. The table would float a few feet of the ground, objects in the room would begin to shake and morph into strange things; usually small animals. I guess that's because I'd always wanted a pet...a little kitten in particular...but my parents refused."

A shaky sigh escaped her lips; her face drawn and pale. It became apparent why she had never wanted to open up before. She was in such a state of distress that even as she spoke a white flame appeard about her hands and a few of the books from the bookcase began to glow as well; changing into anything from forks to socks and then back to normal.

"And yet again my parents wouldn't send food down, of course by this point it had become routine. This went on for several years...up until...until..."

Here, Shay's voice broke and her body went completely stiff.

"O-o-one day...my m-mot-ther came d-downstairs and...and forced me t-to the ground...sh-shoving a Bible in my face...and ordering me to...to read the entire th-thing aloud...pausing only to beg for forgiveness for the evil being I w-w-was. And I...I just...I snapped." Shayna's eyes went wide and wild with terror as tears began to fall uncontrollably from her eyes, her body shaking terribly. "T-the next t-th-thing I knew...the house was in r-r-ruins...and my parents...they...they..."

She couldn't take it anymore, and broke down into heart-breaking sobs, looking so scared and so devestated; something Lance had never imagined to see in his wildest dreams. Her hard calm demenor had completely shattered before his eyes, and left only the frightend child that had been there on that dark day; lost and confused and terrified of herself.

Lance looked at Shay and put his hand on her shoulder, ''it its ok'' he he kept repeating ''its ok'', what turned form a hand on the shoulder turned into a brotherly hug, the look on Lances face was fierce, even though Shay could not see through all her tears, Lance was really angry about what Shay had been through but what was anger quickly became sorrow for the torn girl, Lances face quickly changed to sad, and Lance started to drop a few light tears, Lance spoke softly not really knowing wot to say, ''look the way I see it... they had what was coming to them,'' Lance didn't really know wot else to do.

At the feel of a hand on her shoulder and the gentle "It's okay"s, Shayna found herself crying harder, feeling badly for making Lance worry about her more when he's already got so much to worry about with everyone else. But at the feel of his arms wrapping around her, she instantly wrapped her arms tightly around him; burying her face into his shoulder. She managed to get her sobs down to silent tears, but her grip on Lance didn't losen even for a moment. This meant the world to her...someone just simply showing how much they care. After reliving her past, it's exactly what the doctor ordered. She knew Lance had wanted to say more, to say some words of unnatural healing that would make everything alright. But what Shay really wanted Lance to realize was this: He'd already made it better, just by being there. "T-thank you so much, Lance..." she said, slightly muffled since she was still leaning against him. "You have no...no idea at all...what this means to me."

Lance looked down and gave a small smile, ''it's no problem, no one should have to try and deal with what you have been through on their own.''

Shay wiped at her eyes as she reluctantly pulled away from him. "I guess I figured that since I'd lasted this long...there was no need to talk about it. I mean...what does it really matter now, anyway? It's in the past now, where it should be." Despite her words and how light she tried to make her voice, it was obvious that even though she spoke the truth, she had difficulty believing in it. She stood up and walked over for a kleenex, blowing her nose softly before throwing the tissue away and turning back towards Lance. "But hey, thanks again for listening. It really did help." Once more it seemed like she was back to the old Shay, the one who pretended to be indifferent about her past and kept her thoughts and problems to herself.

Shay looked a bit surprised by his offer, and smiled one of her infamous smiles. "Sure, did you have anything in particular in mind?"

Shay thought for a moment before giving a light shrug. "How about the mall? We can go check out the music store or something. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new song to learn on your guitar?" Her voice got a playful tone as she added, "Unless you'd rather go shopping for shoes and clothes."

Lance laughed and said ''music shop would be great lol, but then again I do need some new shoes, what do you think lol maybe high heels?'' Lance was surprised at the playful comment he had just made, it was a rare thing for Lance to do anything playful.

Lance's rare moment of playfulness inspired Shay to also do a rare deed: laugh, a true, genuine, happy laugh. "Oh, I think they'd look absolutely sexy," teased Shay, sticking her tongue out at the older mutant. "Shall we pick you up a tube top and mini skirt to go along with it?" (lol)

"Sure," smiled Shay, straightening up the room a bit as she turned to Lance. "Hopefully Freddy hasn't woken up and already raided the kitchen."

Shay smirked and watched him leave, pausing a moment to look back at the couch where she actually opened up to someone...and her smirk faded to a warm smile before she turned off the light and went to join Lance in the kitchen.
