Welcome to Gaia! ::

"DANIEL! Up and at 'em! Lazy bones!" Kimo was shouting at Daniel's house. He was waving from the driveway at his window. Right before dawn.

It was a scene that the Hooper household had gotten used to in the past several years. Kimo had really become a good family friend, and invested a lot of time into his little surfer-pal.

Today, Kimo had no surfboard though. Just a car, with some hispanic up in the front seat, and two italian girls sitting in the back. Kimo ran around and opened the passenger's side, "Get OUT, Diego. This isn't your seat. This is for the wailua."

"I'm not being replaced by a kid. Besides, he should give Domani the company."

"Get out before we drown you."

"Leave me alone before I before I ground you."

"My wailua is not sitting in the back with your inferior what's-'ems."

"I'm not sitting back with my inferior what's-'ems, and I'm not moving for your even more inferior ground goop! Leave me alone!" Diego made the sand under Kimo move and come to smack him in the chest.

Kimo slammed the door on Diego's fingers...or would have if he didn't move quick enough. He jumped back around the car, "Wailua!" He complained, "Diego says you're inferior, so you have to sit in the back," He opened the back door behind him, "But their opinion, and the position you have to take, means nothing next to the truth, yeah?" He winked, the whole time grinning, "You remember Domani and Elisa, from the airport the other day. They're not a part of this, but Diego can't keep his hands off our turf. Might as well see what a ground evolved is really worth." He snorted. Nothing next to his fire boy, that was for sure.

They were going to the house of a man who Daniel had actually first pointed out to Kimo. He'd done something AWFUL to an evolved girl, and then had been let FREE despite the fact that he shouldn't still be roaming this planet. So, Kimo and Daniel had been planning to make it clear that he was NOT just getting out free, and he was GOING to pay, and if he tried it AGAIN, he was going to regret it for the rest of his life. It was a simple thing, really. Go in, terrorize, scare him just enough to make him think his life was in danger, then go out. They'd done it before. They'd pulled pranks doing similar things before. Shoot, Daniel had pulled that prank on Kimo before. It would go easily.





OOC: Super quick introduction NOT edited...I might fix it up later, unless you two think it's good.

Domani waited in the back seat, her head being held up by her hand as she waited for the Hawaiian kid to wake up. She, personally, had been awake for hours but that was her body attempting to adjust itself to the timezone. Diego and Kimo seemed convinced that they had to bicker over who was going to get shotgun but, in Domani's opinion, if Daniel wanted shotgun, he'd be awake by now. She didn't really get the point of it but then again, she could count the times she'd ridden in a car on her two hands; Venice was a no-car city and she rarely travelled outside of it when she had lived there.

She slid over when Daniel finally came down and got squashed in the middle. "Ciao, Daniel. Nice to see you awake this morning," She joked, tapping her fingers on her cast and feeling all around useless. They were going to terrorize a man for terrorizing an Evo but she was not entirely certain how much terrorizing she would be capable of when she couldn't walk without limping. But Diego decided to bring her along so she was going to assume she had some part to play in this mission.

Let's get it on. Whenever Diego and Kimo decide to stop bickering and start the mission.

Domani adjusted herself with a small smile, trying to lighten up. It failed, "Sorry, Elisa. Just a little nervous right now." What if the plan messed up, after all, and she went from someone along for the ride to a liability. She gave herself a small shake to remove those thoughts from her head. Mess up? On such an easy mission? Just where could they mess up? They had the numbers on the guy and she truly doubted she'd be able to take on them all, even if she didn't use her damaged leg as some sort of bat (like that would happen. Ow).

She listened to them bicker for a little more, an irritated look appearing on her face. They were told to meet at that time and if they didn't eat already, their black hole stomachs would go and suck up the rest of them before she got hit. But if they were planning on running off from terrorizing someone who deserved it, she really doubted their capabilities. Unless they were, like, masochists or something. Her thoughts paused. That would be an amusing power to have.

She didn't really understand why Diego was wishing her luck because nothing could really go wrong, let alone for her. She would just sit in the car and make sure no cops drive by or something, she assumed. Their chatter was annoying but it was a simple enough task to ignore it, though right now it seemed Kimo was expressing way too much confidence in his trainee. Domani swoon? Let alone over Daniel, a boy she'd barely met? The thought was ridiculous. She rolled her eyes at Elisa before grinning.

Domani, before she heard the battle plan, was twiddling her thumbs in an attempt not to get carsick before looking up at her name. A quick, unsure smile, looking for all the world as if she understood less English than a tourist. "Good luck," She told Elisa and Diego when they headed out of the car. She looked at the blond boy, "Don't die," She said with much less care. Kimo, she didn't talk to, if only because he wasn't important to her like the first too or maybe incapable like the boy.

Kimo allowed Daniel and Diego to go on. Diego dropped some of his big-bad act to allow Daniel to lead ahead. Sure, he'd staked the place out earlier, but Daniel would still be more familiar with the territory if only by being familiar with the cultural layout homes usually had. Somehow Daniel had become the one in the lead of this operation.

It was simple. They found their way to a corner of the house where a side door was. Diego shook the ground just enough to cause enough disruption in the small place to cause the man to come looking. Daniel was meant to surround him with fire. Diego would add by pulling the ground upwards from under the man. Just enough to scare. Just enough to make him see what a problem this was going to be. It was Diego, as the stranger to the country who knew the most English, that would be tossing in the threats to the man while "Tiff," Elisa, would be making her own appearance and making a few one-word remarks. Daniel was to keep quiet and out of sight. He lived there and didn't need to be recognized somehow. Not that it should. There was no reason for the wailua to ever encountered this creep.

Diego did his part, and the man played into it perfectly, running out to demand what stupid children were outside messing in his yard.

Kimo, hovering back, was close enough to see, but not really to hear. He may not have really had a part in all of this, but he was anticipating the results with nothing but eager expectation. There was no doubt in his mind that this would go well.

-----

Back further than that was Domani where she could see Kimo, but not the rest of the group. It was Domani who would catch sight of the motorcycle as it slowly came forward. The man was in a full helmet, and his clothes were all black and covered his skin. In Hawaii. Sure, the way he hopped off his motorcycle there in front of the house didn't make him look like he was dangerous or anything -- he looked like he was strolling up for a good time with a friend -- but he didn't remove his helmet nor his gloves.

They had company, and Domani knew it, and she had no way of telling anyone.



OOC: Daniel, no one's going to be aware of Photon's approach your next reply. wink Go on and surround that dude!

Domani's eyes widened. What should she do? Diego had just told her to make sure the car did not get stolen and she was fairly certain everyone believed that nothing could go wrong. Perhaps she didn't have her priorities straight but someone showing up in all black and striding up to the door seemed like something was going wrong.

What to do, what to do.... It was heavily implied by Diego that she had a habit of reacting badly when situations messed up, like with those two Evos in Italy. Not the best decision on her part. But what could she do? Limp up to him and start bashing him? Hardly. Yell for Kimo? It probably would give the three in the building enough time to react but this guy might bash Kimo before he could do anything. She could morph and make some animal noise but that would alert the guy just as much as yelling. She did not like feeling useless and this was one of those times.

She tried to come up with a decision but he just kept on walking closer and closer and she was just wasting time. What a lovely apprentice she was, not even able to make a decision. She shouted out the window, "KIMO WATCH OUT!!!" And hoped that she picked right.

Domani watched the two fight, unsure how she'd be able to help Diego. And what was Kimo going to do for that matter? Two experienced Evos should be able to take down one who appeared highly experienced. And toss in a Daniel and an Elisa and that man should go down. She rubbed her cast, wishing her leg would hurry up and heal so she could help. She could always morph but that would hurt like hell instead of just feel odd and stretchy and would probably do some damage to her wound.

So she sat and watched and felt very useless and wondered if she was supposed to turn on the car. And how she was supposed to because T.V. isn't always the best place to learn such things.

OOC: *points to his signature*


Diego shot an annoyed look back to Daniel, "I told you to get." He growled. Stupid apprentice, not listening to him!

Photon?? What was his boy talking about? And if he thought so, what was he doing!?!?! Photon had killed Avalanche, he could easily take him out! Kimo felt the water in the rock beaches there, planning on forcing it out on top of Photon if need be, give Daniel a chance to gain some sense, but he knew he didn't have a tenth of the power Avalanche had had. This was going to end badly.

"Cease," Photon warned them, "If ya leave peaceably now, I ain't gonna harm ya. Just go."

That sounded good to Kimo.

The ground shook with Diego's frustration, "You're pathetic! He would rather you DIE..."

A spark of Photon's power came flying at Diego's face, just close enough to scare him and make him throw his arms in front of his face for protection, then it came and burst in front of the man -- a huge display of colorful lights, but almost all of it was harmless bluff. Only the sparks that encountered Daniel's fire popped threateningly.

"Best keep yer ugly hands away from the evolveds around here, they mean business, and I ain't liable to be around to stop them in the future. Got it?" The man just stared and stared and stared in shock, "GOT IT?" A wild nodding of the head. Photon looked back to Diego, "Drop the fire wall and get off his property. Your trespassing 'nd your threats are just as illegal as his condemnable actions. I'll deal with him. GET!"

"What---"

"Hey, come ON!" Kimo snapped as Diego started to argue again, "We did what we meant to and he said he'd handle it."

Diego didn't move right away.


OOC: Domani, I don't know how much of an answer you can give. <3 But never you worry.... Daaaaannnyy boy!
