My hands were really swollen and painful most of yesterday and last night, I couldn't even use my phone ;-; It was horrible. I was so bored! -clings to whomever will have her and sobs like a big baby.-<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Anyways~ Updating steadily!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Connections</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i.imgur.com/rWLFc3G.jpg)<br/><em><strong>Laura Kinney – Talon – X-23</strong></em><br/><em>Connection and Plotting Seeds </em></div><br/><br/>The Little Details<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>While the X-men have been aware of her for several years now, she hadn’t officially joined the institute as a student until a year ago. She left after only being there briefly to join the Avengers Academy for a short time, during which she was a part of an incident where several of the students were kidnapped by Arcade and placed in a Death game where all of the students were forced to fight each other to survive. Several times the trigger scent was used on her to attack her fellow comrades, a great source of guilt for her, and to make matters worse the game was publicly televised. She has only returned to the Xavier Institute a couple of months ago </li><li>Escaped the facility late in her 14th year of age. She did not approach Logan until she was about 16, then ended up running away from him and the other X-men for about a year before Logan convinced her to come back. She was only there for a few months before more incidents happened and she left to join Avenger's Academy.</li><li>She has a reputation for staring at people a lot, and copying certain behaviors at times.</li><li>She has upset more than a handful of students in the school with her blunt nature and tendency to ask questions that shouldn’t be asked.</li><li>It is rumored that she practically clings to Logan’s side, but it’s mostly due to the fact she is comfortable just sitting in silence with him while he repairs the jet or does whatever he does.</li><li>She has been accused of stalking people on more than one occasion.</li><li>Despite all of this, she actually typically proves to be a very loyal and compassionate friend with a sort of strangely useful insight to certain situations because of her strange point of view.</li></ul><br/><strong>Connections I am looking for:</strong> Friends, Enemies, Frenemies, Rivalries, etc, etc. <br/><br/><strong>Connections in Progress:</strong><br/>Persephone<br/>Ink<br/>Orange<br/>Aribeth<br/><br/><strong>Confirmed connections:</strong><br/><em>Black Howling - Logan:</em> One screwed up set of siblings. &lt;3 He's kind of like her big brother, mentor and this sort of paternal thing all at the same time. She feels most comfortable around him at this point because she doesn't feel like she has to act any certain way around him to be accepted. <br/><br/><em>Npc - Xavier:</em> Laura finds him intimidating, but only because he seems like such an inherently good person that she's not sure how to react to him. She definitely looks up to him and respects him, even if she doesn't like that he's pried into her mind. She seems him as a mentor and sort of fatherly figure. <br/><br/><em>Intimate Ink - Sean Cassidy:</em> He is her punk mentor. Laura wouldn't say she idolizes him but she definitely likes him and she definitely enjoys his philosophies. She's always been a bit of a punk already but when she learned there was an entire culture of people out there like her, Laura kind of dove nose first into learning as much as she could about the scene, and Sean Cassidy was and still is her guide!<br/><em><br/>Intimate Ink - Julian Keller:</em> Work in progress. <br/><em><br/>Persephone - Anna Marie:</em> Not so good... Laura kind of asked her the wrong question and it came out waaay worse than she meant it to be. Needless to say, poor Rogue! Laura actually likes Anne, however, and doesn't quite understand why she was so upset. <br/><em><br/>Persephone - Wanda Maximoff:</em> Their relationship is somewhat strained due to the fact Laura unintentionally offended Anna Marie. <br/><br/><em>Persephone - Elizebeth "Betsy" Barddock:</em> Betsy and Laura have a relatively friendly relationship. They have been comrades on the battlefield more than a handful of times and both respect each other's abilities to the fullest. <br/><br/><em>Persephone - Layla Bayoumi:</em> Laura kind of pretty much watches her a bit to much... Strangely enough, Layla doesn't seem to be to miffed by it and seems to recognize it as observation from the curious mind of a child.  <br/><em><br/>Persephone - Ilyanna Rasputin:</em> Laura finds Ilyanna particularly interesting and has also engaged enemies on the battlefield beside this young woman. She respects Ilyanna for both her strength considering her history and her prowess. <br/><em><br/>Orange Marmalade - Marcel "M" St. Croix:</em> Work in Progress.<br/><br/><em>Orange Marmalade - Theodore (Theo) Rufus Altman:</em> Work in Progress.<br/><br/><em>Lockepick - Ezra Bell:</em> Laura and Ezra were one of the few people in this world that Laura instantly hit it off with. It was almost effortless to get along with the undoubtedly brash and mischievous man, especially considering their coinciding interests - such as punk. Laura and Ezra have gotten into a lot of mischief together. He helped her cut loose more and also was the one to open her to the world of video games - much to many destroyed controllers' dismay... <br/><em><br/>AribethAmkiir - Clarice Ferguson:</em> Work in Progress.<br/></div></div><br/><br/>As I said last time - If anyone gets any plot seeds or inspirations from this, let me know. I have absolutely no issue with conflict either, so please don't worry if you think your character would perceive mine poorly. :) That just means there's more potentially interesting play and character growth to be had!<br/><br/>Also, if I got anything wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.  ::)
