Because drama is fun.

Soooo.. yeah.. I love angst-ridden Artie more than anything. I've kinda wanted to do an RP of when he leaves--which may or may not involve his coma--or when he returns to the institute after his absence.

Anyone interested?

[Bobby Drake]

sure, why not? Bob would be around, though I'm a little unclear on exactly when/why arthur left.

[Manslaughter]

After the appearence of Jean, the mental and emotional strain puts him in a coma for a few hours--so basically the day Jean returns and when Logan and Ororo leave to go investigate. When Arthur wakes up, he privately makes the decision to take the Cure because his powers were ruling his life--obviously without telling anyone until he's well away.

(nods) Okeydoke.

If the coma is just a few hours, we may as well go ahead and bracket it.

So, this is just as previously-dead-Jean reappears, pre-Alcatraz, pre-Warren, pre-Scott's-death (or at least we haven't yet heard about it), pre-Xavier's death. Bobby and Rogue are still dating, he's not officialy an X-Man yet. (nods) OK, got it.

Wanna kick off with a frustrating music lesson? Bobby plays something simple, not particularly well (OOC I am ignorant of all things musical, so go ahead and pick an instrument and I'll go along.)

[Arthur Coleman]

Bracket... it..? Um.. -is lost- Sorry, I can be terribly slow.. and.. stupid.

Sure! Sounds like the perfect setting.
