Check out the Infobox Every Once in a While
The staff is going to make a serious effort to update the infobox more often, so keep an eye out. Newer updates will always be closer to the top, but probably below this one.

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.

Welcome to Speed demon's X-men Evo RPG.


This is a written RPG based off of X-men: Evolution. We're always looking for new characters, so check out the character list (under the Characters section) or PM the admin if you have questions. If you are interested in playing OC characters, please visit SD's OC X-men Board (accessed through the button in the top left corner of the site).

You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are some features you can't use. If you'd like to join the RPG, you will be able to roleplay as you own characters.

Shay stood up at the sound of Marina's mother's voice and calmly walked over so that she was standing in the rec room doorway.

"Ummm...Mrs. Prescott, I presume?" said Shay in her politest of voices, something she'd picked up from hanging around her brother. "Hi, I'm Shayna...I'm a friend of Marina's. May I speak with you for a few minutes please?"

Marinas mom just glared at her and looked over her shoulder, seeing Marina sitting on the couch.
She pushed passed Shay and walked over, grabbing Marina by the arm. "Come on, you can be sure there will be SEVER punishment for coming over here.

"I invited her," blurted out Shay, not wanting Marina to get in trouble over this. "Please, Mrs. Prescott, this really isn't a bad place to live. Yeah it's not the institute...we don't have a nice mansion or anything like that...but we have a strong family here just like the X-Men do...and what's more, Marina's happy here. Please reconsider making her return to the Xavier Institute."

"She's not SAFE here, though" Said Mrs Prescott. "The mansion offers her protection against the outside world, this place doesn't. I don't want her living in such...Low life place like this, either...She's going back to the mansion, end of story"

"Forgive me, Mrs. Prescott, but this place hasn't been bombed before, unlike the mansion," murmured Shay softly. "In terms of safety...no one would dare come near here...Marina is more than capable of protecting herself, believe me, I've seen her do it. And of course all of us will back her up 100%. As for our lifestyle...again forgive me if it's not my place, but we're not that badly off."

And ideed it was true; ever since Adrian had come to Bayville he insisted on taking over all of the bills for the boarding house. The only thing Shay had to put any money she earned from work toward was food.

"Look, dear" She said, putting on very forced nice voice. "I know you are friends with Marina, but please understand living in the mansion is what's best for her. Now, if you promise to stop trying to get me to change my mind, and just let it be...I'll let you visit her saaay...Once a week, how does that sound, hmm?" She asked, as if expecting that to solve everything.

"And I understand that you are her mother and want what's best for her...but what if her living here _is_ what's best for her?" asked Shay reasonably. "What if it's what makes her happiest? Is that not also what mothers should want for their daughters?"

Pinching the bridge of her nose, she sighed. "Why do you fight things which you know you're never going to win?" She asked, shaking her head lightly. "I know she likes it here, but I would feel so much better knowing she was at the mansion"

"On the contrary, Mrs. Prescott, I'm not trying to fight with you," said Shay calmly. "I'm merely trying to put in my two cents on why I think she'd be just as well off staying here at the boarding house as she would at the mansion. I already asked my mother to aid her in keeping her powers in control and so far it's worked. I have to ask, though...you say that you'd feel better knowing at the mansion, but does that mean that you'd still feel better knowing that she was at the mansion with the knowledge that she's miserable there?"

It was then Marina decided to help out. "And...We'd be willing to set out some sort of deal, if you want" Marina said, looking at her mom with hope in her eye.

"You could drop in ANY time you want, you could help us fix the house up if you want, so we wouldn't be living in such 'low life' standards, and anything else you want...Right Shay?" She asked, casting a glance to Shay.

Shay nodded quickly.

"Oh, yes," she added. "My brother, as a matter of fact was planning to fix everything up already...we'd love to have suggestions from you. And indeed, you'd be more than welcome to stop by, visit, check in on Marina anytime you'd like."

Her mother looked deep in thought, looking down at the ground. A minute or two later (Which seemed like ages to Marina) she sighed. "Fine, but if ANY thing, and I mean anything happens while she's here, anything at ALL...She's going back to the mansion, understood? And this place WILL be monitored...And if anything happens to her, I WILL have you all arrested, or sued...Whatever I can, again, are we understood?"

"Quite understood, Ma'am," assured Shay. "And thank you, very much."

"Yeah yeah" She muttered, turning to Marina. "I'll be back with your stuff in a bit" She said.

As she turned to the door, Marina wiped sweat that had formed on her forehead. Once her mother was safely outside and out of earshot, Marina squeeled. "I can come back!" She exclaimed, running to Shay and hugging her.

"I'm glad everything worked out," grinned Shay, happily returning the hug. "And don't worry, your room is just how you left it."

*Note: The Cbox now reads from top to bottom. CBOX RULES
- Please try not to spam. There is a 1000 character limit per message; make use of it. It's not MSN so don't leave one word messages if you can.
- Being respectful still applies in the cbox.
- Try to use the same name when you post a message, or at least one that members will be able to recognize you by.
- The cbox is OOC (out of character) so you don't have to still be in character.
- No advertising in the cbox. We have a section for that, so post advertisements where they belong.
