"Yea...I'm fine....thanks...," Jacen said quietly in response to Kylia's question. How many new students had arrived during his absence? It seemed like at least a handful. He declined diving right into the pancakes, opting to let everyone else get their share. And if he'd miss out, he'd make himself something quickly before crashing. Not a big deal for him.
Kylia caught his attention when she made a remark about forgetting to set out drinks. While watching a few of the other drifters, Elisabeth, Kitty, Kurt, and another unfamiliar face, he saw Kylia standing on her tip-toes to try and reach some of the glasses. She was successful for the most part, getting a few on the bottom shelf, but she couldn't reach any of the ones farther back or higher up. He didn't hesitate to get out of his seat to help.
"How many do you think we'll need?," he said, reaching up to grab a few glasses. It appeared they had ten in all. "You know....I have this strange feeling this won't be enough." And it wasn't. Soon, Mr. McCoy, Ms. Munroe, and Mr. Logan all came down to join this late evening feast. Not long after they came down, it appeared that the rest of the younger students showed up. It was almost like a small army was present, which in a roundabout way, they were.
Jacen handed the glassware to Kylia as she set them, and soon everyone had a fresh beverage in front of them. Jacen looked on as everyone who wasn't seated sat, and started to mow down as was everyone else. Except Jacen. Something was bothering him. Here they all were, relaxing in a very.....one would think jovial mood considering the banter being tossed about, but he knew different. He knew everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. Him, moreso perhaps. He didn't remember the last time he slept. He couldn't remember the last time he ate. He was about to say something when he felt someone looking at him.
"Jacen? What is it?" It was McCoy, taking a break from eating.
"It's...nothing," he said while he took a seat. "Um...how's Lynzie doing? I'm sure she's in the infirmary right now?"
"That she is," McCoy replied after swallowing his milk. Funny how a milk moustache looked on blue fur. "Carson's with her as well, as is the Professor. She should be ok in a few days."
"Good....that's good to know," Jacen replied while holding his plate out which miraculously was piled up with pancakes. After he slapped on a bit of butter and syrup, he took a bite. They were the most deliciious pancakes he had ever tasted. Maybe it was because he was so famished? He did hear once before that hunger IS the best spice. He quickly discarded that thought while digging in, enjoying his meal fully.
OOC: You know...when I think pancakes, I think Stewie on Family Guy
"Pancakes? How dare you say I will even...Mmmm..mm oh yes. Oh my. Yes. These are positively orgasmic. Flappy!! Good news! I've decided not to kill you."

lycathanna "That's a topic for tomorrow," Reese said, piping up. "Let's just focus on tonight. Tonight, we have beds, and....each other?" Oh my God, he'd really just mentioned the bed, hadn't he? And FIRST?! Come on, Reese, he urged himself. Get your head together. Noko blinked almost in shock at reese.~ OH MY GOD ~* she squealed in her thoughts knowing she probably just hurt obsidians head but she didnt care. She turned her head quickly to hide the look of joy on her face. It was about time regina got a hot guy..

Reese smiled slightly. "Yeah, I can't complain either. My last room was a barred cell with lots of chains. And there wasn't much to say about the company. But, I think I could get used to this." He finished, his smiled becoming complete.
OOC: OK, Jen. smile I'll see ya tomorrow ... at least online

Adams luck had seemed to change, it had been a couple of dry weeks where he had to live of scraps and water, but now he was going for a audition. A self proclaimed goth/alternative bar was hiring for a new bartender so he had called and they told him to come a before opening to see if he is fit for the job. The sun was still up so he would hopefully make it in time, he had forgot his watch as always
He reached the building where the club was located, he had been told to go in through the back. He knocked on the door and a moment later a pale man wearing a fishnet shirt and excessive amount of facial jewllery opened the door.
“Yeah?” he said, his voice was slow as he eyed Adam up and down.
“I’m here about the job opening.”
“Oh come on in, I’ll let Violet know your here, you can take a seat by the crates over there, I’m Ross by the way.” Ross went out to what must be the rest of the bar, Adam was now alone in large room with many crates all marked with various alcoholic labels.
A moment later a woman entered dressed in vinyl hot pants and purple stockings, a black tight fitting t-shirt with a Sisters of Mercy logo adorned her chest. Her hair was massive, big black and purple synthetic dreds was tied in two ribbons on each side of her head. “You would be Adam right?” She said with a smile and offered her hand and continued before he had a chance to answer. “I’m Violet and I am the owner of this establishment, and tonight will be your audition.”
”Tonight?” Adam was a bit baffled, she was very forward and didn’t waste any time.
“Yes tonight, if everything goes smoothly you will get a long lasting position, so what do you say?” She spoke fast but gentle, she seemed hurried.
“I’m game. What will I do then?”
“A bit of this a bit of that, Ross will fill you in on everything, I think he is behind the bar at the moment so go there and you will be assigned to your task.” She quickly turned and went away, must have been in a major hurry Adam thought.
Moments later Ross was instructing him in all the things he was to do and don’t. “And you know how to make a snakebite right?” Ross said and pulled a glass on the counter.
“Can’t say I do, no..” Adam replied.
“Oh boy are you in for a treat. Anyway it’s a kind of cliché goth drink that some patron prefer.”
” Half a lager and half a cider. Lager is what americans would call "beer" and that is basicly it, its somewhat lethal but thats half the fun! Also there is a Snakebite black basicly the same drink with a splash of blackcurrant in it, also known as a "purple nasty".” Ross started to pour up the two variations and told Adam to try, when he did he was caught breathless.
”Shouldn’t have gobbled it down so careless huh?” Ross said and smiled and continued on his goth drink mix recepies.
“Also they might ask for a "red witch" - a snakebite with pernod and black in - not to be taken lightly under any circumstances, but it’s cool dont happen every day. A "Anaconda" is made with half a pint of Theakstons Old Peculiar and a bottle of Diamond White or other strong dry cider if were out a diamonds, got it?”
”Yeah I think so., anything else I should think of?” Adam said, he still had a itchy sensation in his throat.
Ross was eying him up and down with a perplexed look upon his face. “Come with me, I have some spare clothes in the back and I think you will be much more of a hit if we spice you up a bit.” Ross was smiling brightly as he dragged Adam to the staff only room.
While inside there was a cloth rack and shelves for stuff, in the other end there was a bunch of boxes. The one that Ross was standing over had a sort of childish scribbling over it, marked with statments like “Don’t touch or the Ross will eat you” and similar threats. He pulled up a pair of vinyl pants and some spiky toed boots and black tape.
“Put it on” he said to Adam who was holding the tight pants.
Adam had slipped in to the pants and the boots, Ross had insited that he removed his shirt and at the moment he had he had started putting black tape around various parts of his torso and arms.
“Hold still or I’ll yank of the hair on your armpits” Ross said with a impish smile.
“So am I done?” he said looked himself over in the mirror, it looked pretty hot he tought.
“Nope we still have to fix your head a bit.” Ross dived down and pulled out a can of hairspray and sprayed Adam’s head untill he was covered in odd smelling cloud.
Adam winced, the smell wasnt tender on his hypper sensetive nostrills but he was holding his breath as Ross pulled and around with his hair, Adam dreaded the result.
His hair stood on an end, it was like “boffed” up and had more voloum than before, when he touched it was stiff and hard.
“Wow.”
”yeah... I know, I am a genius.” Ross stated and had a smug grin on his face.

Obsidian raised an eyebrow at Reese. Was he that eager? Well, she couldn't stop him. ONce Noko squealed she gave her adeath glare.
~Ya know, you're hurtin' my telepathical ears, woman.~ She chided. ~And if Pietro and Pyro have killed off my creations, I'm going to get Pietro first. He's my boyfriend after all. I'll let you maul them all afterwards. Pietro's a** is MINE.~
She waited and waited, shaking her head. Then she thought of something.
~Hey Noko... I've got a great idea, what would happen if we sent a copy of the picture of all of us in the cab, in an envelope to the brotherhood house?... Utter chaos. I want to freak Pietro out before I beat the s**t out of him.~

Noko smirked. She knew the picture looked compromising. Regina on reese's lap wasnt anything to get upset about they were innocently cuddling together. Raven sat in the middle looking cool and doing a buddy jesus pose. But the pose obsidian and she had chosen would be sure to freak the guys out. Obsidian remained on nokos lap sitting sideways. Obsidians arms were around nokos neck and since their hair was up now you could clearly see they were about to kiss. In the picture it looked like they were about to trade spit for quite a long time. And it looked very real. When in real life when the picture was taken they had almost fallen out of the carseat laughing so hard.One of nokos hands rested on obsidians inner thigh to top it off. She showed obsidian the picture on her camera." ya think theyd get mad?" Grinning at the though she had the cab pull over. Running into a walgreens she had a printout of that picture made. Walking out she grabbed a guy and shoved fifty bucks in his hand. Telling him where the house was she grinned."Theres two guys out there...hand them this picture and then run for your life." She said as the guy took off.
simon ran as fast as he could. Finding the house and walking up." You two know these girls?" He said handing the picture to peitro and then leaving as quickly as possible. He loved being a mutant. His mutated form allowed him to go invisible whenever possibe. And such he dissapeared into the night.

Pietro screamed angrilly and began punching John in the face repeatedly. He was sick of hearing how crazy this b*****d was... and kept punching until the boy wasn't talking anymore. Unlike John... Pietro was a far more calculated kind of evil. Though both of them were shaped toward this side for most of their lives, Pietro was taught one key element: control. Even if he did get angry, he never lost control. He was always fully aware what he was doing, the consequences therein, and most importantly the fact that he actually wanted to the things he did. Rearranging someone's room when it could be back exactly the same way was relatively harmless, it would piss off the occupant but if worse came to worse, it could be undone (often in a way that would even further anger the occupant). However, killing random people and burning down your own house was simply mindless, in Pietro's eyes, and would ultimately hurt you more in the end. Such psychotic disregard was intolerable, in Pietro's eyes, as he almost saw an honor in his villainy, and punks like Pyro only brought that image down.
However, it was this same level of control that kept him from actually killing John. He was already planning how to warp this to his advantage... but first things first. He quickly began to circle around the burning remains of the house, sucking the air out and smothering it before it could spread. From there, it was actually a lucky break that the remaining Brotherhood had fled either to the mall or just plain "anywhere else", as Pietro and John would be the only to witnesses, and John was insane.
Pietro sunk his fist into a few key areas of his body... bruising his ribs a bit, and smearing the small dribble of blood coming from his mouth all about his face. Yes... from here, he could look like the victim... the one who tried to stop the madman, who succeeded, but got badly beat up in the process. To the casual observer, it would look like he was the one who saved the day, and in his mind, that was just what he'd done anyway.
"Now all I need is some way to make myself pass out convincingly," he said to himself, eying John, who was still half-conscious.
"You know these two girls?" asked a voice from behind him, and handed him a picture.
"What the hell are... you..." Pietro muttered, before he noticed Obsidian and Noko about to make out.
Pietro fell flat onto the ground, letting the picture float over to John. Seconds later, a scream was heard as John went unconcious as well.

Reese chuckled at the whole situation. Noko sent off a picture just to make her boyfriend jealous, that that was calculated evil. He hoped any girl he could have wouldn't be that way, or he might have to kill something.
"As if they weren't angry enough with each other..." Reese said with a chuckle.

Noko sat quickly back down in the cab the driver chuckling as she did. Once obsidian was comfy on her lap the driver took off. Nokos smirk was evident. " We should be on the watch tonight. Knowing our luck theyll storm the city. "

~No kidding,~ Obsidian replied. She stretched gently. ~I can't wait to see if they freak out and go after us. Hehehehe! This'll be so much fun. ^_^... Once wer'eat the rave, can we get glowsticks?~
She hugged Noko, only in the friendly away. Afterwards, she settled back and watched the town go whizzing past the cab's window... While hoping shewas suffocated Noko. She hated cabs. Small cars who drived pretty fast. Not her type of car. Just not her kidn of car... In fact, she hated most cars. Oh well...
~We can get glowsticks, right?.. Right?~
