(22:07:12 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United : "Sofia? Are you coming? The movie starts in 20 minutes in the common room!" Laurie Collins' voice rang out from the doorway of the library. she turned and glanced back over her shoulder at the smiling blonde face and lightly shrugged her shoulders "I don't think so. I am struggling in chemistry again and I need this extra studying. If I hope to get anything higher than a "D" on my next exam, I have to get to work!" Laurie frowned and shrugged her shoulders softly "You aren't any fun! You've been nothing but a shut in since..." she stopped and bit her lip softly. she wasn't about to go any further, but that didn't matter. she knew what Laurie meant and she let out a sigh as she slammed her chemistry book closed "Don't start Laurie. Okay? You don't have to remind me about my mood lately. Okay fine... more than lately. It's been a long while, actually. I can't help it! What was I supposed to do? Forget he even existed? Sorry, but I can't do that." she let out a quiet sigh and slid out of her chair and walked to the door, the book against her chest "I appreciate what you're trying to do. Honest. But this is how I'm dealing with things and so far it's worked pretty well." Laurie rolled her eyes and as she turned and headed for the common room alone, she caught that 'yeah right' carried back to her. she shook her head and slipped out of the library. as she walked down the hallway she kept her head lowered, ignoring the cheers from the common room as the credits of the movie began to roll

(22:13:33 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." : -there was the sound of a commotion from the adjacent hallway right next to the common room. even in the darkness of the room, amongst the many enthralled heads all watching the television, the sound of metal clanging on the floor followed by the inudiable curses of some roughians could be heard over the roat of the MGM lion. this was the first week of Summer Vacation and that means the younger underclassmen have gone home while those who have nowhere to go stayed behind in the mansion. As well as the senior classmen have graduated. this would be the sounds of a newly graduated student, two huge muscular men in overalls could be seen movig boxes from a room down the hall of the Boy's Dorm wing, items spilling out of clumsily made up boxes, one an award. a golden trophy awarded for first place in the 2008 Debate Final... to Julian Keller...

(22:20:07 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United : the commotion caught her attention immediately and she stopped. raising the book over her head, she stepped lightly in the hall, trying to avoid making the floor creak. she paused at the end of the hall and glanced up toward the second story balcony. in the shadows, she could make out the outlines of two large men. she blinked softly.. they wern't supposed to be here! as she crossed the floor toward the staircase, she crept up one stair at a time. she noticed they were carrying boxes and as one faultered with his load, items spilled out and a trophy rolled over to where she stood. kneeling, she picked it up and looked at it. trembling softly she immediately dropped the trophy and just stood there almost dumbfounded. the two burly guys turned and looked at her, eyes narrowing "Wh.. what are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be in here! I... I'm going to go get a staffmember!"

(22:24:36 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -the huge men, one black and one white but both incredible neandethal in appearance stopped. one even ooked at you in an oogled way, his eyes on various defind parts of your young female body. they turned back to look into the dorm room as if looking for permission to ravage you from a head Lion.- "Whatever am I paying you lot for?" hands clapped in command, "They certainly won't load themselves, now will they?" -each man nodded, 'Yes Sir, Mister Keller, Sir.' they continued on their way not even noticed of you. out of the dorm room emerged Julian Keller looking properly dressed with his leather jacket that clung to his body like a second skin, his hair slicked back, sunglasses in his hand. a smile, no matter how smug on his face.- "No need to call anyone, it is perfectly quite kos... Well... hello there, beautiful, come to see me off, have you?"

(22:30:47 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she backed away slowly, the looks in their eyes beginning to unnerve her. she glanced over the railing and searched the downstairs for signs of someone in charge, but they must have all been in the common room watching the movie. she glanced back at Mutt and Jeff and swallowed softly. that's when she heard the voice. her eyes widened and she stared softly at the form that emerged from the shadowed hallway "Actually.. no. I wasn't aware it was you. If I'd known, I wouldn't be up here right now." she turned, but hesitated to leave "What are you doing back here anyway? I thought you'd said your peace back when you informed us all that you were better than we were and your place was away from here."

(22:36:01 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : "I would have been a fool not to aquire my diploma even if from a school such as this. As well as my belongings." -that voice was ever so smug and srcastic. he would put you down in an instant but something else lingered there. he clicked his tounge on the roof of his mouth as he usualy did at times.- "Are you staying here, struggling your final year here at Xavier's?" -Sofia was younger than Julian, which led to quite the tales he would tell, the big bad older man and the innocent, nieve... very nieve underclassman. Oh the memories of glorious conquests of the unventured Mantega country!- "I'll be over in the big city!" he laughed and then rolled his wrist, a card produced between his fingers, "My card... all people of stature have... a card." -a rather out dated sense of presentation from teh Victorian Age, a gentleman caller would present his card at the door for the owner of the house. Julian was a bit egotistical and sometimes old fashioned but utterly all bastard.

(22:41:47 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she did her best to appeare bored by his obnoxious behavior. she crossed her arms softly and sighed a bit "Yes I'm staying over summer vacation as well. I thought I could use the time to... improve a few of my grades." she didn't want to admit the real reason, that her perpetual deadbeat Dady had again expressed no interest in having her come back home to Colorado for the summer. she could recall Derek's voice on the phone as the chauffeur told her that her Dad was once again too tied up to be bothered with her. as her face fell, she hadn't realized he'd stepped closer. she blinked a moment and then glanced down at the card now held between his fingers "Oh? Do all people of stature also find themselves thrown out second story windows for being arrogant?" she dismissed the card and this time began to descend the stairs "I'm sure you and your thugs can find your own way out. I have things more important to do."

(22:49:00 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -he didn't change his posture. your attitude was something he had grown accustomed to. a bennefiet to your person that you were always able to perform womanly duties on a much higher calibure than your ability at public relations. the two goons returned to carry out more larger items. of course Julian could have done the move by himself but why bother? even with telekentic powers, why bother when others could do it for you? he watched you walk away as one of the movers stopped, 'Look at the ass on that.' Julian turned with a slight white gleam in his eye. the mover garbbed his throat.- "That is I... crushing your windpipe ever so gently. Besmirch her again with your less than Darwinian thought and you'll find yourself adapting to new forms of breathing." -he released his 'grip and the mover took a huge breath. yes there were better things to be found with his powers, like stoping uppity young girls who have yet learned a thing or two about womanhood. yes, as you walked down the stairs, you couldn't move, every part of your body held as a green glimmer in his eye shined. his hand flexed his fingers as if invisible marrionette strings as he walked down beside you.- "No, really, I insisct you keep this." -and he tucked his card between your breasts in your exposed cleavage.-

(22:55:37 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she heard the comment and as her cheeks reddened, she gripped the banister hard and glared at them. she was about to say something when she heard the one mover choking ever so slightly. her eyes widened as he took up for her, informing them that they'd better watch their language. she cleared her throat lightly and resumed walking downstairs only to find she was frozen where she stood. she struggled, but there was simply no moving her limbs. he descended the stairs and stood beside her. she could see the green gleam. he was using his telekinesis on her!! as he leaned in and slipped the card into her blouse, she gritted her teeth "And what may I ask am I going to do with that? Other than throw it out as soon as you release me?" part of her was about to add on a 'thank you', but she figured it would only humble her further in front of him and at this point that was the last thing she needed

(22:59:53 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : "You're very welcomed." -the strange thing was he could always read you. exceptionaly well. oh it wasn't some mysterious mutant power or some form of magic, no, Julian Keller just knew you even better than you knew yourself. he patted the side of your cheek as you were still within his telekinetic grip. that hand, the fingers carfessing your flesh as he then cupped your chin and leaned in to kiss you. your mouth was free to move and kissed you as he use to back when both of you were an item on that poorly constrcuted Young X-Men team. releasing you from his grip, he also broke the kiss.- "You'll want to keep that Sofia, I know I'm going to need someone like you when I assume the new position I was 'hired' for."

(23:05:15 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she felt him caress her cheek and she swallowed softly. as he leaned in, she caught his scent and when his lips touched hers, memories flooded back. she didn't want to respond... didn't want to show him the sway he still held over her, but her lips let it all slip. she kissed him back and it felt like last year.... before the humilation.. before all the pain and sadness. as he broke the kiss, she felt he'd released her. she pulled away from him and hurried down a few more stairs, just to simply put some space between them "You're going to need someone like me? Julian you made it perfectly clear you didn't need anyone. Otherwise you wouldn't have.... you wouldn't have pushed me away like you did. If you'd asked me a year ago to stand by you, I'd be right there. Now? Now... it doesn't matter what you're hired for. I want no part of it."

(23:10:51 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -he watched you run away down the stairs. he chuckled low to himself. as he spoke in a low voice, perhaps to low for your own ears.- "But in a year I've found no one has... quite excited me like you do, Sofia. Better the whore you know than the one you don't..." -he returned up the stair well to the two movers. Frick and Frack as Julian thought of them. just about everything was cleared. that was good, the faster he was out of here the better. the Hellfire Club had a new Red King to initiate. Sofia would make an excellent lap bauble at the club. that thought filled him with one of sheer excitement below the wasit. as Frack moved by him, an item fell from another crudely constructed box. an album fell to the floor, it was pictures of the team and much happier times. before everyone grew up.

(23:18:34 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she blinked softly. there was very little that was said too low for her ears to hear thanks to her gift. she whirled around and she slapped him harshly across the face "Don't you ever call me that! And I don't care if no one has excited you! Too damn bad! Você faz-me doente! Eu desejo que você tinha voltado nunca, Juliano. Tudo que você faz é ferido mim!" tears welled in her eyes and as the thuggish mover again dropped more items, she caught sight of a photo sticking free from its pocket. she knelt down and picked the album up. as she pulled the photo free, she found the smiling faces of the team she used to call family. as she opened it, she thumbed through the photographs. most of them were of she and Julian... most of them were of her smiling. he'd made her really happy once. then... came the blonde from Salem Center. then came her clothes in his bed. then came him leaving. and there went all the happy memories. she slammed the album shut and hurled it at him "Just get out!"

(23:25:28 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -his face rolled with the slap. it was typical of a man of his standing to be slapped by women who didn't care for the honest truth of thigs. he raised his hand to his face and rubed the corners of his eyes and teh bridge of his nose. he shivered slightly. his movers watched as she reacted in such an emotional maner.- "It's alright, she looses her ability to speak English when she's... feeling euphoric..." he then looked at you "Will that be all, Miss Mantega or would you prefer to beat on my chest some with your fist? That's always been a rather gripping moment in most teenie-bopper television shows, you know the ones you're most fond of... that you wish your life could be like. Attractive boyish boyfriend... large stable of friends... parents..." he grinned, "...who give a damn about you..."

(23:30:41 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : "That's ironic coming from you. I suppose you think no one would find out about your disinheretance? Seems like your parents care about as much as mine." she reached up and wiped her eyes softly with the back of her hand "And maybe I am envious of those shows. Maybe I wish I did have that boyfriend who cared about me. One day maybe I'll actually have one of those for myself." Laurie peeked her head out from the common room and as she spotted Julian, her eyes went wide "Sofi....are you okay? You want me to go get somebody?" she shook her head softly and glanced at him, her eyes full of hurt "No Laurie. It's okay. I.. I can handle this."

(23:37:54 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -what was with people? he was paid up till the end of 2011, he could come and go if he wished. women. the words of his disinheritence stung but he reached out and tapped your nose.- "Please, Miss Mantega, do not speak ill of the dead, it is unbecoming." -his features never once dropped and he held that smug smile. three weeks ago, the Keller's died in a plane crash. leaving behind Julian and his younger brother, James. of course, Julian had nothing to do with it, of course not, not at all... the police had questioned him already...

(23:42:36 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she took note of the sting she'd brought, but it was a hollow victory. she knew that he wasn't that bothered and he only turned it around. she jerked back as he tapped the end of her nose lightly "Speak ill of the dead? Julian.... your parents? But I didn't..... What about James? He wasn't.... he's okay, isn't he?" and here she'd show that she was nothing but a sap. his sexy green eyes hint at a touch of sadness and she just gets suckered right back in. there was nothing that could stop her from caring about him. that's something that frightened her. why couldn't she just let him go?

(23:47:08 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -because the universe attracts beings and souls to one another. Keller's Charm is so large that your own sooul has been trapped in the gravitaional pull and become yet another rotating body in his universe which he is undoubtably the center of.- "Unfortunately my imbecile of a brother is alive and well." -for now, he thought. James thought he'd be cheeky and try and fight Julian for contest of the Will in court. If James Keller is lucky he might see next month but he won't see the day in court. but his eyes gave none of his underhanded dealings away. when airplane fuel is mixed outside of an evgen a fraction of it's consistency bad things do indeed occur.- "You could always come with me, as I have already suggested."

(23:51:28 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : "You shouldn't say things like that. He needs you. You lost your parents for god sakes. If I'd known I would have.... I'd come to the funeral. Shown my support. I know they never met me, but.... it would have just been the right thing to do." she swallowed softly and closed her eyes for a moment "I am sorry. I wish there was something I could do." as she opened her eyes once again she found herself staring up at him. she caught her lip between her teeth softly "Come with you? Where? I.. don't think we get along so well anymore Julian. We had our chance and you obviously didn't want it."

(23:56:46 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : "You only wanted to hold me back. But now, Sofia, I'm the Red King in the New York City Hellfire Club Inner Circle. You can rule right beside me. Did you know your uncle is a member? Everyone of high society is." -he was serious, something in his voice adn he grabbed your hand. he then glanced over at the doorway and caught your friend.- "Ah, Laurie, if ever I had seen sophisticated white trash... you may go. Sofia doesn't require your hand in everything." he glanced down at you with that obnoxious look upon his face, "However I would be surprised, if Laurie Collins wished sometimes in the dead of night you did require her helping hands... somewhere." -Julian didn't care for Laurie Collins and he had an interesting way of letting someone know, they weren't appreciated in his presence.

(00:02:10 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : "Hold you back? How was I going to hold you back! I just loved you! How is that holding you back!" she gasped softly and stammered "The Hellfire Club? But they're.... bad news! Everyone knows that. How could you become their.. their king? You were supposed to use your gifts for good! You've ignored everything you were ever taught!" she felt him grab her hand and as he pulled her to the doorway, she shot Laurie an apologetic look as he spoke harshly to her "That's enough! Okay? She's my friend. She's actually concerned about me! You don't have to insult her." pulling her hand free, she just looked at him helplessly "What happened to you? Why are you... like this?"

(00:06:36 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : -he pulled away from you and spat i a hiss.- "I grew up! This world out there, they fucking hate us! They loathe us! The Charles Xaviers and the Magentos aren't going to change world! They won't make it a better place for mutant kind! The Bill Gates and Donald Trumps of mutant kind are the ones who can show us the way! Sofia..." -he sighed- "We are... the modern day Jew in a world of Romans and Jews get by with control of the money and everything else from film and television to every printed periodical! Twos-thousand years of oppression they now run this fucking planet! We can only hope to do the same two-thousand years from now and either you are with me or you're against me!"

(00:13:08 ) ~~::swept away::~~ Sofia Mantega ==:Wind Dancer:== Xavier Institute for Higher Learning Marvel United says to :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: : she just looked at him, clearly dumbfounded by his outburst. as she slowly slumped down to the floor it was like every bit of energy had been drawn from her. she didn't know what to say. what could she say? this wasn't the boy she knew. she wasn't even sure it was the same boy she loved. he was so filled with anger and resentment.... the darkness within him frightened her "It's not that simple. It isn't so black and white, I don't want to be seen as against you. I just.. wish.. I just wish you hadn't..." she trailed off and swallowed thickly "You broke me, Julian. And now you want me to just follow you blindly? I can't. I.. I won't." she picked herself up and looked at him sadly "I'm going to have to tell the staff about all this. If the Hellfire Club is starting back up, the X-Men have to know. It's my duty to.. to report it. I'm so sorry."

(00:20:55 ) :$:$:Greed is Good:$:$: Julian Keller -Some wish to be the savior of mutant kind, others the mesiah... me... I'm shooting for the tycoon of mutant kind- "Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit." says to ~~::swept away::~~Sofia : "Don't flatter yourself, honey, if I broke you... you'd better believe you'd fucking know it." -he turned and was about to leave when you had to go that extra step and open your mouth and say something... evidently fucked up.- "Oh Sofia... I know your time with me you were prone to having to open your mouth wide but it was usually so something could be inserted and I'm not talking about your shoe... but now you had to go and do it." -he slowly turned around. electrical currents held charges, charges held mass albeit how small. he reached out with telekinesis and he led the charges in the security cameras. the security footage would go out and the screens turn to snow. with Summer vacation, staff and security would be insanely low. his other hand flexed and that green glint in his eye held you still, even your vocal chords were held fast. he then lifted you up and carried you with him.- "Now, you will... have to come with me. My plans for the Hellfire Club do not involve the X-Men till I am ready to say they do. Besides, no one likes tattle tales.": -Julian called out to Frick and Frack to make room in the van for one more large item...
