Welcome to Gaia! ::

Danielle kind of felt bad about lying to Jamie like that, but what was she going to say? "I think my dead abusive father is stalking me. Wanna go get some fries." She wasn't about to say that. She just gave him a nice smile that said thanks. Then listened for Penny's answer, Danielle desided she was going to be in the volleyball game.

OOC: I Edited this too

IC:
"I guess we'd better get going then." Danielle stated.
She walked out of the beach house, and walked to the volleyball nets on the beach.
Danielle sat down by the nets and waited for everyone to come.

Morgan quickly walked to the volleyball nets. He was hoping that there would be a no-powers rule, but if there wasn't he was already thinking up a way to keep Pietro under control. "I sincerely hope that powers are not allowed. This needs to be a fair match," Morgan mumbled, as he walked through the sands down to where the nets were set up.

|| I can take a hint. : )||

Corky rolled her eyes, but smiled. "Honey, had I the willing to race you right now, your a** would be handed to you. Gift wrapped. But I have a feeling, considering the position of the sun, I'm going to be getting a call soon. And it's much more importent than whatever drama you can imagine, trust me." She shifting her weight so that the jet ski turned. It was a slow process, but the tide helped a little bit. "Though I'm game for a raincheck." She put on a sly smiled and waved before revved the engine, making the water vehicle jet forward before Victoria could say anything.

It was a little sneaky, but that would only be if Victoria though she was racing back. Corky didn't see it that way completely, since the call excuse was true, though it probably wouldn't be as importent as she made it out to be. But Courtney was desperate to talk to her old friends, if only for a little while. She missed them.

When they got back, Jacen went to his room, put away his newly purchased weapon, and then headed back outside. He was somewhat lying when he said that he didn't train much, if at all. Usually, his workouts were pretty....lengthy. And usually against someone. And so he headed towards the beach, and took a cautious jog down southward a ways.

As he sat on top of a sandridge, Jacen looked over the ocean for a second, trying to focus on his energies. It was weird. All the basics he learned, were some what hard to get going. He hadn't tried to even form his 'blade' in his hand since he'd been freed from Ahab's grasp.

"Come on....," Jacen said with a rather annoyed tone of voice. The most it'd do was form up for a second, and then fizzle. Jacen looked at his left hand and formed up an energy orb nearly instantly. That was the first thing he ever learned to do with his power. It was clearly ingrained in his mind and body.

"God....Dammit!," Jacen said with a shout. In a furious ebon blaze, his energy sword appeared in a flash in his right hand. As Jacen started to calm down, he noticed the blade shrinking slightly, and growing fainter in his hand. Interesting..., he thought as he started to think about things that hurt him or managed to strike that one chord. Almost instantly he thought of his familial situations.

The sword burned brightly, almost the length of a full broadsword. "Most interesting," Jacen noted as he stood up and noticed how easy it was for him to swing this around. And as soon as his adrenaline started to hit, he started to become more focused in his swings and swipes. It seemed almost as if the blade was pulsating with energy, almost completely ready to rip someone in half.

Out of the blue, he stopped to calm himself as he caught his breath for a short bit. Smoking had done some damage, but he liked pushing himself. He enjoyed seeing, knowing, and exeperiencing the physical limits of the human body. With at least thirty seconds of rest, Jacen turned that switch back on again as he thought about his family. He was up and shadow-boxing with a very pronounced improvement with his strikes. It was almost surreal to him as he didn't know he was quite capable of this at all. As he thought of something calming.....Penance...he saw himself slowing down a bit, his strikes not making his muscles feel as if his fist impacted a human's face.

"This....is most interesting....so, I imagine, that if I can do that....then......No." Jacen stopped himself from experimenting further. It was probably weird enough seeing a young man weilding a luminous ebon blade. That's when he noticed alot of the people filtering onto the beach. He saw something pertaining to a volleyball game going down today/tonight. He told himself he was going to sit out and just be a spectator, but in the back of his mind, he figured if he could push himself like that, why not a game?

Feeling a bit confident in himself, Jacen jumped from the sandridge and slid, heel first, down to the beach. Briskly, he walked towards the small crowd gathering and noticed the net was already set up.

As he approached the group, Jacen said in his most calmest, yet...intimidating tone, "What team needs an extra player?"

Victoria raised her eyebrows increduliously at the stunt Corky pulled. Can you say chicken? If Corky truely didn't want to race, she wouldn't have sped of like that would she? Not beliving the lame story, the dark haired girl hit the gas and jetted back toward shore.

The ride back was harder. This time Victoria was going against the wind, which caused the spray to sting her eyes. Note to self: Bring goggles next time. Blinking ferociously, she could just barely make out Corky's figure a little ways off. From the looks of it, she got the hang of it considering she was half way back to the shore. Damn! Even thought Corky's ruse was as see through as wet newspaper, it still gave her a couple second head start, which was more then enough.

"Alright, I'll be there in a minute." He said when Danielle left, and he went up to change into board shorts and a white t-shirt. He walked out of the house and saw Teagan running along the beach. He caught up with her as she was slowing down.

"And who said we forgot you?"
