Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sitting on the floor with her tongue stuck out the side of her mouth in concentration Kara was looking at her televisions screen intensly as she made Naruto win his fight with Neji in the chuunin exam. "Haha! Take that you swastika headed b***h." She proclaimed loudly at the game. "This one's so much better then the ones for gamecube." Putting down the control down after pausing the game she looked around her room, walls filled with posters of various artists and one giant Resident Evil Extinction poster that she had gotten from the movie theatre in town. "Hmmm kinda boring in here...mmhmm. Who can I pester?" The cat-girl stood up and started pacing as she pondered who her victim would be. "Lance maybe..naw he's already got so many people that could annoy him..though one more might not hurt..plus that musics getting on my nerves." She went up to the wall that seperated her room from Lances and pounded hard on it. "Oy! Loser! Turn that crap down or you're stereo's flying out a window!" She hollared loud enough to be heard over his music.

"What!?" shouted Lance back, continuing his hostile conversation with Laura though his door as a barrier, for her protection and possibly his. She seemed to think that she had the authority to tell him what he could or could not do. Obviously, this did not sit well with Lance, and for many reasons. He took a deep breath and was just about to say exactly what was on his mind, when the sound of another blaring stereo was added to the mix, making the overall noise volume close to deafening.

"What the heck is wrong with you people!?" he growled, his brow wrinkling in discomfort. The second batch of music was coming from a joining room, which, if he was not mistaken, belonged to the cat-girl, one of Mystique's newer recruits. And...judging from the banging that now started on the wall they shared, it was the feisty cat-girl. "******** it," he muttered to himself, while clapping a hand to his forehead. There was another barely noticable tremble throughout the area as a headache slowly crept in on him, which was definately a bad thing.

"Alright! Its off!" he shouted back, after practically punching the power button on his stereo. "Happy!?" Without waiting for an answer, the teen finished getting dressed before unlocking and then yanking open his door so he could make an exit, only to find that Laura and Morgan were still hovering in his doorway. "And are you two happy now?" he questioned, the sarcasm practically dripping off his voice.

Markus was just getting done soaking up enough heat in the bathroom to finish warming him up. "Oh that's much better." He pulled on a heavy sweater and his gloves. Hey it was ecessive but kept him warm and flexable instead of stiff. As he stepped out he was greeted by the blare of two stereo's. He shook his head as one of them was shut off. "Never a dull moment around here." He commented as he felt another small tremor pass through the building. That could only mean one thing. Lance was not happy about something. Markus liked to think he got along well enough with Lance. He left Lance alone, Lance stayed off his case...it was a good working relationship. He walked back towards his room to retreave his car keys. He wanted to head to the bookstore and maybe pick up some new books.

"Really?" she questioned, surprised that no one else had been curious about the abilities of the others. Her own smile faltered as Victoria's did, a nervous look flashing in her brown eyes as she hoped she hadn't offended the girl.

"Me, well," she said, holding her left hand out slightly, fingers outstretched. She then moved her right index finger an inch or two away from the open palm. She looked at her hands for a moment, the muscles clenching in her arms. A sound like a pop broke the silence as a blue forked spark leaped from her finger to her palm.

"It doesn't hurt me but others can feel it. If I'm really the cause of it, I guess I could be blamed for shorting out a few light bulbs and a blender," she finished sheepishly. "But I keep hoping maybe I'm a magnet for static electricity and it's simply coincidence that light bulbs don't last long around me." She shrugged as if this hope was something rather casual, her gaze moving to Rogue.

"It's fine," Shandra assured as she walked up the steps, "It takes a lot of getting used to."

Blade followed Shandra up the steps. She smiled sadly as she remembered her family but pushed it away. She had to do this. To protect them.

Sara watched the spark leap from one of Becca's hands to the other with an 'ooooohhhh shiney expression' on her face. "Wow...that's neat." She said. She shocked things, best remember...no touchy Beccy...like Rogue. Sara had to be reminded because of her impulsive nature. The resulting contact would be...shocking...to say the least.

Oh blessed silence. Liz sighed contentedly and burrowed deep under her blankets as the noise compatition finally ended. She didn't care who won and who lost...she just wanted to get some sleep. Snuggling up with her pillow she sighed and dozed off.
