Raven Darkholme | X-men Movie Universe | ota

a. welcome to my world

[Raven isn't one to take situations lying down. Several of the natives will have broken noses and split lips by the time she's done with them. When she wakes to find strange people pawing at her, all the while choking on red dust, her instinct is to retaliate and fight until she can escape. Finally, they'll get her to calm down, but the anger comes again when they try to strip her of her clothes and give her some hideous white jumpsuit.

Problem being the red caked X-men uniform she appears to be wearing? It's not actually a uniform. What use did shapeshifters have for clothes? Finally, she can only sate their insistence by shifting them away to their great surprise. She doesn't need your clothes, thanks. Although they do hand her the jumpsuit, insisting she take it while staring openly at her baffled as well as startled by nakedness.

When she's finally let go, free to roam this new awful place, Raven will exit looking very much unlike her blue self, but blonde and seeming to be wearing a nice fashionable (by 80's standards) acid wash jeans, crimped hair, and Blondie band t-shirt and clutching a white jumpsuit, which she promptly tosses aside.

Now to figure out where she really is. She'll approach the first person she sees, approach purposeful and expression firm as she pulls out her device. No bull-shitting her.]
This place. What is it, really?


b. Caught me unawares

[This dream seems like another life at first. One she barely remembers. But it's her. And Charles. She's young, but she's been on the run for so long. No one ever shows her kindness. Not until him.] You're not... scared of me? [She doesn't dare believe it, but Charles is so kind. He doesn't kick her out of his home for stealing. For impersonating his mother just to get some food. Doesn't call her a freak.]

It's an idyllic life or so it seems in this dream. Charles treats her like a sister. But she's not like herself anymore. Blonde... adorable, or so her new mother would call her, pinching her cheeks. They play in the giant mansion. It's her and Charles against the world. She gets to go to school (not quite so fun). But she gets a family. She feels loved.

The next night the dream comes again. She's chasing after Charles in a park, laughing as she goes. She thinks someone might be beside her. The part of her mind that knows this isn't real wonders what it means. But the young Raven turns instead laughing, blonde hair blowing in the wind around her face, as she shoves the person with a hand and takes off to where she's seen Charles running.]
Tag! You're it!



c. Falling down the stairs: CW: Death, violence

[The dream of the past few nights comes again. It starts much the same. Charles and her. A nice life she never thought she'd have. But it's colored differently somehow. Instead of all the nostalgia and joy of her time with her brother as a child... all the negative memories start to hold sway and fall down over her like an avalanche and move her forward in time.

Charles makes her hide. She can't be herself. Raven pulls at her blonde hair, yanking out a few strands. She hates it! Why can't she just be herself? Why does everyone fear her? He can't even look at her when she looks like herself. Is she really so hideous?

Then she leaves him, dares to hope in Erik's dream because he doesn't make her hide. She believe in the Brotherhood. But Erik leaves too. Each of the others die. Leaving her behind to pick up the pieces. She's crying, holding tight on a crying bundle in her arms, the rain drenching her a the blue tailed baby just born. People are chasing her, a mob to kill the freak. She needs to run!

Some one is gaining on her and she screams, moving to strike them with her free hand]
LEAVE ME ALONE!

UN:darkholme

[She's finally settled in here, but still doesn't quite believe everything she's been told. But clearly the others believe it and she's heard stories of these Sound Eaters ripping people apart. Of the damage they reap. Which is why she's not out in the streets screaming at the top of her lungs just to test the truth of it. But she does have questions.]

What are everyone's theories on what these Sound Eaters are? Were they once human? Thoughts on how we might fight them?
