Charles picked up his phone and made a very long distance call.
Hello? Said a female voice on the other end of the line
Hello, this is Charles Xavier trying to reach Star Lord. He said this was his number and I do apologize if I dialed it incorrectly. I dont make very many galactic phone calls.
Oh hello Professor X. Its Gamora, I didnt recognize your voice on this connection. Peter is busy right now tracking down a lead on his father. Is there something I can help with?
Yes please. Magneto is going to stir up trouble over a new law being passed here on Earth. I was hoping for some outside help since he knows so many of my X-men too well. I am afraid it would result in the typical stalemate we find ourselves in. This is too important of an issue to come to a draw. Star Lord said he would be able to help me in the future with an issue in return for that favor I did him. Charles replied.
Well, I dont know how long Peter is going to be on this little quest of his Professor, I think it is another wild goose chase but finding his father is important to him. Hmm? What is that Groot? Yes I will tell him. Professor, Groot says Hi. He actually said I am Groot but you know what I mean. Like I was saying Peter is busy right now but if you are a friend of Peters and need help I will come instead. I will be there shortly.
Thank you Gamora dear. I will have some tea waiting for you when you get here. I will need to call the others. Thank you again After giving Gamora the coordinates to find him Charles went to go brew some coffee.
The vote has passed with just barely enough votes to make it to the Senate. It is believed it will pass with a bigger margin in the Senate Was the last thing Magentos radio said before it was crushed from across the room.
I told the sentimental fool that the humans cant be trusted. Magento said to himself.
He hit a button on the console sitting on his desk.
Mystique please come in here
As he waited for Mystique to appear Magento walked over to his safe hidden behind a Ford Madox Brown painting. From there he withdrew his helmet and put it on. It was tiem to go to war and he needed his helmet if he was going to face his old foe Charles.
Yes? came the question as Mystique slinked into the room.
It is time to gather the others. The humans have gone too far and it is time to stop this dangerous bill before it gathers any more steam. Go collect them so we may make our stand
Later that night out in Vegas in front of the club Trois Rouge stood a bouncer. His name tag simply said CM on it. It was a slow night so far and he was bored waiting for the night crowd to really show up. He was hoping for another brawl to break out. Last night was just too much fun. It had started inside the club. Some guy was jealous his girl liked dancing with other guys. The idiot actually picked up a bar stool to rush the bouncer. CM side stepped him and the idiot charged out the door with stool in hand.
CM went outside to make sure the guy stopped his fight. He snatched the bar stool from his hands and tossed it over his shoulder. He forgotten his own strength and the stool hit the neon sign. After the jealous boyfriend saw that he still tried to take a swing at CM. Drunks never do learn. A light tap later the idiot was crumpled on the ground waiting for LVPD to come pick him up for his complimentary stay at the drunk tank.
CM smiled to himself thinking about that listening to the sign above him creak in the breeze. He stopped smiling when he remembered management was going to take the repairs out of his check to fix the blasted thing. The dang E was permanently out until it was fixed and the U and G kept flickering. As the next song came on inside, by the Cure, a gust of wind came by. There was more damage to the sign than either CM or management noticed. Management had also failed to notice the signs of termites that had been eating away at the building lately. The stool had actually knocked the last anchor holding up the sign onto the building. That gust of wind knocked it loose and the neon sign started to crash down. CM never knew
Wait wait wait. Are you seriously going to kill of one of these guys with some freak accident involving a neon sign?!? This is supposed to be an awesome battle between two super powered teams and a freak accident is going to take out one of the players? Demanded the editor.
Well I mean I thought it was pretty cool. He still was going to be killed by powers, it was just going to be his own mistake Replied the newest Marvel Writer
No people want to see super battles not super accidents. Or at least save the super accidents for later on in the story. You know after the Xavier or Magneto has a shot at recruiting guys or gals. Then it could be those two racing against each other and bad luck
Fine. No one dies until someone has a chance to recruit someone to their team
Today was never going to result in a death. I had put it into the different docs. I figured day 1 could be bloodless for once. From now on the only way you escape death is by your powers or a fellow team mates powers. Good luck everyone. People with night actions please send in your two names in the order you want them tried or any other power related stuff.

Okay, I guess I was thinking it was noon my time, but I guess it's GMT noon...
No, it's noon EST. GL is writing up the evening message. She probably had most of it ready, but had to wait to see which player was lynched before she knew some of the details of the story, because the death is part of the story, and lynn wasn't officially "lynched" until 10 minutes before our deadline.
So we're waiting for her story which will reveal who lynn was (I think) ...
After that, we have to remain silent until the beginning of "Day Two" ...
GL real life announcement. Tomorrow I get to spend lunch getting a new Driver Liscene and update the tags on my car. So the night will end on time but the story might be late. Then this weekend is my birthday. Most of Sat I will not be on my phone I will be too busy enjoying the day. So I will try to post updates but they will most likely be friday evening/sunday afternoon.

That's no problem. Starting at the "end" of the "night" (Noon EST Friday), we'll start wildly speculating about that "Night One" Message you posted earlier today (the one where you didn't kill Lynn) Then a later, when you have time to post the "Morning" message after your fun day at the DMV, we'll start wildly speculating about which of us was farthest "off" in our earlier wild speculations.
Bruce was in his lab trying to work on a new heart monitor, figure out the identity of who made an assassination attempt against the mayor and cook lunch. He liked to keep busy, kept him from thinking too much about the Other Guy. When he thought about the Other Guy and all the troubles he had caused it lead Bruce to thinking some very dark thoughts. He was on the testing phase of the new heart monitor and it was working like a charm.
Bruce was in very deep thought pouring over the details of the assassination attempt case when there was a knock on the door. It startled Bruce so badly that his new heart monitor gave a faint warning beep but then went back to normal. When he answered the door he saw Professor Xavier and an unknown green woman standing next to him.
Hello Bruce. I hope we are not interrupting anything? Charles said.
Oh hello Charles, I am working on some stuff but I have time for you. You know me I like to keep very busy. Cuts back on any, uh, incidents. Why dont you come in so the people dont stare at your friend here? I try not to have too many green people associated with the place you know.
Yes of course, I didnt realize you dont know each other. This is Gamora, she is here to help with an issue and I was hoping to use your unique talents as well. You know that Mutant-Super Powered Registration Act making its way through congress? Well Magneto has decided to take the matters into his own hands and is planning to do something forceful about it. We need help in stopping him
Gee Professor I would like to help but I have been just Bruce for a while and I would like to keep it that way. I think I finally got the Other Guy under control. If you need my help as Bruce I would be happy to do so. Bruce replied.
Will you not stand and help a fellow Earthling? Charles said you were a friend. I guess he was wrong about that. After hearing about this Magneto person, he seems like someone worth stopping. You hide in your lab while others fight your battles.
A little warning beep came from the heart monitor. Bruce took a moment to take a deep breath.
Like I said it has been a while. You really dont want His help. He sometimes does more harm than good. Now for everyones sake I am going to have to ask you to leave. I am very close to solving something for SHEILD and my lunch is almost ready. I am sure it was nice meeting you Gamora. Have a good day Charles
With that Xavier and Gamora left and Bruce went to check on his soup. It was done just as he walked into the kitchen. He carefully took his bowl out of the microwave since it was very hot. He carried it back to where he had been working on the assassination case. When he sat down he let out a breath, this caused a photo to slide off the table and fall below it. He crawled under the table and grabbed the photo. With the photo being upside down he saw it from a completely different angle than he had been looking at it all along. He realized the only person who could pull off the shot was the Winter Solider. In his excitement he forgot he was under the table and tried to stand up and ended up banging his head against the table. His heart monitor went nuts when he jostled the table which caused the fresh bowl of soup to get knocked off and onto his back.
The Hulk stood up all the way and in a fit of rage ripped the table in half. He yanked off the damaged heart monitor and threw it at the wall where it got embedded into the drywall giving one last beep before falling silent forever. The Hulk caught his reflection is some glass and gave a world weary sigh. He jogged out the door to catch up to Xavier and his green friend. At least he wont be the only green one this time.
Halfway around the world Victor Von Doom was working in a very different lab. He was accessing threats to his home country of Latveria. He had been researching Avengers to see if he could find out anything about them that would prove useful down the road. After figuring out a complicated piece of SHIELD encryption, Victor started to smile. He now knew the name of Captain America. Even better he knew where he lived. In the distance thunder rumbled ominously.
Bruce has been recruited by Xavier's team and is now the Hulk.
Since yesterday was a muligan for voting no one is on a forced vote today. HOWEVER. If you do vote for someone today and you survive, all voters names go into a hat and 1 person will get some info. 2 people will get info if everyone votes. :twisted:
Well, thought I'd hop on in here and see what's what. After nibbling on the clues in the story, I think it means that whoever is playing Victor Von Doom (a villain) was the one who won the contest, and found out the name of Captain America (a good guy). Meanwhile, the Hulk went off like a lamb to join the good team. What a treat for the good team.
Meanwhile, the GL seems to be dangling a carrot to get us to vote.

I thought your comparison of the Hulk to a lamb was grossly oxymoronic, but then I realised you're probably tonguetangled and have to speak in Easter references
I'm thinking, is it worth trying to work out who is hulk by everyone telling us that they are not him. I know the real hulk is likely to slip in somewhere, but then we've got a lead, and the people who vote against the hulk are on the opposite team, so either way both teams have a lead to follow.

Plus you get to hang out with GL in DMP.
Also, those who didn't vote today have to vote tomorrow and those who voted today don't have to???
