Welcome to Gaia! ::

OOC: I'm back!!! But no one read my last post!!! crying crying crying My last post said that there were construction workers there to fix up the house....and that's not fair Noko!!! How dare you put me to sleep, before I can get a chance to set him, or something else on fire crying crying LOL!!

"Soon," Penny said looking at her watch, "And I think technically you're allowed in water after 24 hours... just not for hours at a time." [OOC: I think that's what i was told last time I had stitches]

"Do you always know everything or act like it?" He smiled.

"Yes, pretty much," She nodded and grinned as their pilot put the 'fasten your seatbelts' light on in the back, "Most of the time if you pretend you know what you're talking about, they never know the difference."

The decent was fairly smooth. The sand rushed down on the beach but the area was isolated enough that there were no beach goers in this section. If anything, they looked like a bunch of brats with a fancy plane.

"So if we're 602... I wonder how house number 600 is going to like us..." Penny pointed at the two houses seperated probably only by twenty yards. They were huge, though, and definately looked well maintained. She could see a peir down about a hundred yards from them and some rocks. Quiet but not too quiet.

She took her shoes off and grabbed her luggage while some of the kids started sprinting towards the house. Regina walked down the ramp and paced herself with Penny and Jacen holding out the keys, "They can run all they want. I still have the keys."

"Nice, I don't care which room we get as long as it has a window," Penny let her feet sink into the sand.

Porter came down the ramp after making sure everybody and everything was out of the jet and they moved towards the house out of the way for it's exit. When the noise died down he spoke up, "Just because I have to be responsible, my room is the closest to the front exit of the house. And because you're the team leaders, your guys have the room near the back exit."

"Yes, mother," Penny realized the point of it. They still had kids from the ages of 14-18 running about the house. And as much as she wanted to ignore them, she was pretty sure that she was going to make sure they didn't get into any real trouble... for the most part.

"Thanks, Evelyn. I always appreciate your support," Porter said sarcastically and offered to carry Regina's bag for her, "Jacen, you're more than welcome to share a room with me if you don't find another one to your liking."

"Wow," Penny said as they walked up through the back gate. Inside the 'yard' was everything one could want. Fit pit, patio, grill, hot tub, and just about anything else that would make their vacation nice. Regina walked up the door and let them inside the house. She and Penny walked up the stairs that came up from the kitchen to claim the first room per Porter's instructions. There was a mad thundering up the stairs by mostly everybody else for the other free rooms.

Penny looked up at the ceiling hearing a thunder of footsteps over head as kids scramped for third floor space too, "I hope they have strong ceilings in here." She put her bags down on a bed and went down into the kitchen.

Putting a bag onto the kitchen counter she left fifteen comm badges out, "I don't care what you guys do, but take one of these incase you get into trouble or if you're not going to be back by dinner... which will be at 6. Try not to use your powers where there are people around... we want to lay low and have fun... not fight off a mob or get arrested."

Not really in the mood to fight of legions of other students, Morgan decided to wait until the clamour had died down a bit, and pick a room from whatever was left. The only bit of his gear that he'd brought with him was his pouch belt, and a few smoke pellets. In case some of the other kids had wanted a good show. He'd also brought his guitar with him. He had been practicing recently, and was getting good. Heh, maybe we could put on a show later. Now I just need to find a singer, and a drummer. At least, he thought to himself. He smiled at the idea, and headed into the kitchen, where Penance had just laid out a set of comm badges.

"Sure thing. Hey, do you know if anyone here sings or plays drums or guitar?" he asked, taking one of the badges and tucking into one of the pouches on his belt.

Jamie grabbed one of the communicators off the table, and stuck it in his back pocket.

"Er, I play a little bit of bass." Jamie said to Morgan. "I picked it up a bit while I was on the road. Play when I get the chance. Nothing serious though."

Blair watched the other kids scrambling for rooms and running through the house. He didn't really mind where he slept...because most likely, it'd be someone he didn't know. He walked into the kitchen and picked up on of the comm badges and put it on his shoulder. His stomach growled and he realized he hadn't eaten anything since arriving at the Institute.

Blair went past the group of kids without a word and began rummaging through the fridge.

"Not really. Lots of pigs...and cows...Not my thing. Oh, turkey slices."

He smiled at Teagan and pulled the package of turkey meat out of the drawer in the fridge. He reached atop the fridge and pulled down some whole wheat bread and began to make himself a sandwich at the counter.

He looked at the other people talking around him and wondered if he should venture into saying hello or not.

(((Um...I'm with the BOM and I'm at a lost of what to do now also. OH, Pyro...I remeber reading your post about the builders coming so don't feel ashamed. I'm just waiting for the rest of the BOM to do something so...)))
