All the details you need are here, so read up on it. This didn't get mentioned before, but you can tag the cultists instead of killing them. Details on this are on a previous draft post. Using the scanners are optional!

There will be a thread for interacting with NPCs, but they may not all go up at once, so keep an eye out for them.

Note: A log for the events in the village will go up on the 21st, in time for the hurricane and droid incursion.

[No Avengers. Unable to rely on the X-Men. That painted a pretty bleak picture of the world he'd be facing, from her experience in Tony's world where the Avengers were a reality, and from her true experience, where she knew how hard the Professor worked to be there for mutants like Billy.

I was on my own.

That's something Rogue only had to face briefly - granted, at the time, it looked like the X-Men were trying to kill her - but from that point, she'd hooked up with Mystique and then... the rest was history.

So he knows.

He knows how much of a target he is. Of course he does. And something in her heart constricts that her careless words would have made him feel that way again, even if only for a moment.

Guilt-stricken, she looks down.]

I'm glad.

[selfhelp]

Yeah, me too. [He relaxes, finally, and offers her a small smile. This could have gone a lot worse, and he kind of told her a lot more than he intended, but... maybe it's better to get it all out like that.] It could've ended badly- if the wrong people found me, or if I'd been different enough to become a criminal... or a terrorist. [Another smile, with an ironic twist. A history of crime to heroism- maybe that's the legacy of Magneto's family.

...Tommy would probably bitch at him for that one.] I got a once in a lifetime chance.

[touchofrogue]

[Ah yes, the criminal and terrorist years. She remembers those well... though hers was more along the line of a month or so.

...yes, well. Let's move on, then.]

I'm sorry that what I said caused you pain - I didn't mean for that to happen.

[Why an apology? Because Rogue owns her mistakes.

She's not the best at accepting forgiveness, though. So she stands up.]

I'm glad you're all right, Billy. Get some rest.

[selfhelp]

Mm. It's okay, I get it.

[He shrugs, lifting a hand to wave it off. He hadn't been the smartest about what to say, himself, so he can forgive the slip-up.]

Take care of yourself out there. I'll see you around.
