Wiccan will be going to the concert. No drugs for him though, unless he's spiked.....but really? A reality warper with their powers amped up? Yeah, not a good idea.

This is just to remind you all that there will be consequences for any Xavier's student who is caught with Kick. That means, besides being required to attend rehabilitation, you will lose your Jr. X-Man status if applicable, and continued use after attending the drug counseling will result in your being expelled and returned to your parents, or an in-patient treatment facility if you have no parents to return to.

This is not "oh, hey, it will be fun to get high."

Kick is highly addictive, and a major health hazard. It's not as simple as smoking a cigarette, getting drunk or even smoking pot. From the wiki on it:
Quote:
 
A highly addictive drug dispensed via inhalant, that enhances special abilities in mutants. Later discovered to be an aerosol compound for distributing a primordial microorganism known only as Sublime. Used by Xorn, Jumbo Carnation, Quentin Quire, and Sophie of the Stepford Cuckoos. The active ingredient is Hypercortisone-D.


While I doubt we are making it part of Sublime, it is a major power enhancer and can cause instability of powers, lack of power control and mental disarray.


Rave is not as complicated. It is basically a power enhancer. Mutants who take it will get stronger temporarily, but when it wears off they will want more and more until their powers overload or they lose control. This can result in complete power loss in some mutants.

These effects must be taken into consideration as well as the Zero Tolerance policy at the school. I will enforce that and if you are caught stoned, particularly on school grounds, you get one chance at redemption with the rehab. If you fail, then you are out of the school and you are your parents or the drug center's concern. I am being hardnosed here, because as I read over this topic I see a lot of "oh, being a druggie seems like fun" posts.

It's not fun and it is not a plot to be entered in lightly.

Ok I'll repost this here also, as this thread seems to have become the Kick discussion; to add to what Cyclops has said- and I want to make sure people have read it.

Can we clarify what the withdrawal symptoms are please? If people aren't sure what they're like we might have a lot of incongruity, and also people might have trouble RPing it correctly. Is it going to hit them as hard as something like heroine? Which will basically be very similar to a bad case of flu, alongside muscle and stomach cramps...vomiting, shaking, sweating. It'll have you bed ridden and you will feel like you got put through a meat grinder. Or coke? Which will make you feel like every single muscle in your body is on edge, you'll smash shit up, sweat, cramp, turn into a complete asshole to your closest friend... Any serious addiction though is going to turn you into a snivelly whingey begging pathetic lump of flesh. You WILL steal from your mothers to get drug money. You WILL lie, and stab people in the back, and look like absolute shit. So just please keep that in mind.

And just to add...I have first hand experience with drug addictions. If people want some advice on it feel free to PM me.

I'm still possibly going to have Kitty try out KICK, however at the current moment I'd like to pull her out. I am going to have to think about it a bit more, and see if I want to put my only X-Men character through that, and possibly loosing her X-Men status.

Alrightie, I got three characters ready for party time. Jayson, Violey, and Anne Lee. However, someone from X-factor would have to convince Violey that it would be a really good idea to go to a concert. Mostly likely Alix or Alexander.

I would like to sign-up Anne Lee to be one of those introduced to Kick. Possibly (by this time) I want her to be either on or aiming to be a Jr. X-men. I understand that if (when) discovered all hope of being an X-men (at this time) will be null.

As for my other two characters: Jayson is against drugs and may be tempted but won't partake. Violey will be oblivious to whatever craziness happens is connected to drugs (she won't believe it is connected to drugs).

A Brotherhood member can definitely do this - As for how they locate Storm, that's simple .. Her commlink. Whoever kidnapped her, after she tries to rescue Alix, was too stupid to disable it. :D

Thought this would be a good place to put this... I think we're wanting to tie in Alix's kidnapping with the BH's attack on Wolf's Head. Alix will be captured in the process of defending its citizens. She will be kept alive and in a place at Murderworld, or possibly in New York, but in a disclosed location, since Magneto wouldn't trust having a telepath kept unwillingly so close to his people. The only thing is, we need people to respond to the tip-off Alix will receive regarding the attack in the first place.

Okay, this is ... Kelrian is not taking Kick. He just wanted to go to the party.
Galadrien, however, is going to end up taking it... *sigh*

Taylor's still going. We'll say he snuck out of Murderworld for the day/night. No kick for him.

Question: Is he still needed to DJ? Or are you fine with Kim?

Jayson can help drive people from the mansion if need be. I'm not sure if this party is going to be approved by the teachers so having more the one driver might be best. *shrugs* Not sure. She won't be taking Kick,

Violey is coming as well. Someone from X-factor will probably have to say it will be fun and 'convince' her to come. Also not taking Kick.

Anne Lee is coming with the mansion crowd. She'll be introduced to Kick whether she's spiked or takes it herself will be determined by the thread flow. Consequences are understood.

Bobby Drake - He going. He's gonna try kick and later become addicted.

Camera - She'll stop by, and well Tom is her team mate... I've said it before and I'll say it again... She'll become hooked on it like Rawson's drug addiction :D

Jet - She may make a cameo. Small cameo. No kick, just pop on by see a little bit of it then go back home.

Tina - Not going, not getting addicted

Dead Girl - Not going, not getting addicted.


....That is all. :D

Wiccan will be there, no addiction for him- this will be a big thing for the Gen X kids though so I hope to see you lot there. And please please make sure your character fully knows the effects of the drug and withdrawals also if he/she will be taking it.

Saint is my only guy who will be there. He won't take it, but he is going to get some off Black Tom hopefully. What he will do with it is to be revealed.... :Ahharrrgh:

Lesly will be there, and she'll try the drug just for fun. Effects are understood.

Anna will not be going

And I would like to add Jacob to the list, this would be a good chance for him to get to know his little sister. As for the drug, his lived on the streets, his seen drugs, he knows what they can do. No Drug for him.
