Void of her taquilla headache, Penny finished changing her clothes for the game. She was a competitor by nature so as much as she didn't want to play, she knew she really did. Pulling her hair back, she picked up her sunglasses off of a table and put them on. Grabbing a bottle of water she went down to the nets and sat slightly away from the team but near them.
Morgan came up to her, "It's full power."
"We just fought a pack of hounds and manged to live. We'll survive the volleyball game," She drank some water starting to get her competitive edge on and losing some of her fun voice. She saw Jacen walk up the beach asking which team needed players, "So far, the X-Men is the only team with players. I'd ask you to be on our team curious to see what damage we can do, but that's totally your call."
"What don't want to play against me?" He stook over her.
She squinted and looked up and jokingly said, "I get a painful feeling in my side just thinking about it."
"That's low, lady," He said in a way that she wasn't really sure if was joking with her or if she really did make a badly placed joke.
"That was a joke," She jumped up and kissed him on the cheek, "I'd gladly take you on again anytime."
OOC: Okay that's my last post until tonight. Teaching today.

Pietro zipped back and forth between the two sides of the still-empty volleyball court. Surrounding the court were several more volleyballs, all reading "Brotherhood's Great Big Balls of Doom". He casually volleyed the ball back and forth between the two sides, kicking up a lot of sand in the process though he didn't miss his mark once.
He figured that Pyro and possibly Noko would be up for a good fight, and Colossus could probably just let the ball bounce off him without needing to move. He wasn't sure about those other new girls though, but they might surprise him...

"Hey! We are playing too!" said Freya to Penny and Jacen, her hands on her hips. "Just because we're two doesn't mean we can't play." She did a small pouting face. "Geez, sometimes I think you guys only think you're the only ones that are good."
On her side, Wanda was still relaxing under the sun when she received sand in the face. She removed her sun glasses and sat up quickly, looking for the culprit and probably kill him with just a gaze. The only thing she saw was a blurr thing moving side to side of the volleyball court.
"Dammit Pietro! You just HAVE to disturb me whatever I do!"
A volleyball landed next to her and she read the message on it. She frowned and the ball exploded.
"PIETROOOOOOOOOOO!!"
Freya turned around and saw Wanda trying to zap her brother with her hex powers. She sighed. "Brotherly love. Isn't that cute?"

"Aw come on sis!" Pietro said as a few stray hex blasts managed to miss him by mere inches. "With skills like these, NOT showing them off would be a disservice to all the lesser people out there. What else can they aspire to if not my almighty greatness?"
"Besides," he began as he zipped over beside her, finding a feather duster seemingly out of nowhere and quickly dusting the sand off of her, "You and I will be on the same team after all, considering that the X-Men outnumber us and it would only be fair. See, I even made you your own serving ball of doom!"
He handed Wanda a ball with an anime-style chibi characature of her face drawn in red magic marker, with the name "Scarlet Spike" written along the side. There were others for all the brotherhood. "Sandstorm" for Sasha, "Mix'em'up" for Noko, "Classy Glass" for Corky, "Steel Balls of Doom" for Colossus, and of course, "Flamer" for Pyro. Pietro was banking on John's poor grasp of subtlety to keep himself from being burned alive for that last one, but he wasn't too concerned.

"Does it hurt your back, blowing that much smoke up your butt?" Danielle said to Pietro."
His "I'm better than everyone else" attitude annoyed her.

"Mock me all you want," he said to the X-Girl whose name he never bothered learning, "But your rage feeds me. Every word of your contempt is absorbed by my soul to make me a better stronger being than I've ever been before. Honestly, the closer I get to getting you guys to light torches and form an angry mob, the closer I am to having to change my shorts."
There were several balls "customized" for the X-Men. Thay all included some combination of the words "pansy", "lightweight", "weak", and/or "loser".

Danielle wasn't really listening to his remark, she just rolled her eyes and waited for other people to come. "Morron...." she mumbled still a little annoyed.

"That damn......jackass....," Jacen muttered as he noticed all of a sudden, that he had a ball marked, "weakling" on it.
"Relax. You know that Pietro's an a**," Penance said.
"Of course I do. I had to deal with him on a daily basis for nearly five years."
"And you'd expect anything less than this from him?"
"Nope. In fact...I'd not be surprised if he was going to take this any further....."
Jacen contemplated throwing a volleyball hard at Pietro's head, even though he knew it'd be pointless. Why get himself angrier than he already wasn't? Of course, he thought that in the back of his mind, if this was a full powered game, then why not up the ante a bit.
"Penance....whatever team I'm on...I want to be on the one opposite Pietro....."
"Then you're on my team," she said, somewhat excitedly.
"Grand," Jacen said as he lazily threw the ball over his shoulder and started to randomly think of things to make him somewhat annoyed.
OOC: And this is my post for my 1 hour lunch break. Hopefully, that'll do.

Morgan, to his dismay and annoyance, had gotten the ball with all four words written on it. "That does it. He's going to have to sleep with one eye open from now on," Morgan said darkly. A vivid image of Pietro being spiked over the horizon by a very large forcefield hand played through Morgan's head {Of course, all in Chibi-style}.
He took a handful of sand, and scraped the words off of the ball. It was now a blank, if a bit dirty, volleyball. "So, we all ready?" Morgan said, twirling the ball on his finger.

"I bet if we ignored him, he'd have a mental break down," Penny tried spinning the ball that said 'loser' on it, "Ignore him, play the game. Freya and Wanda are not a laughing matter either."
"If he gets in our way, we can see how well Blair uses his powers," She kicked the ball down into the water.
"Freya, questions, how many can be active at one time? What do we play to? Are the X-Men all one team or are we breaking up into smaller teams?"
Penny was pretty sure not all of the x-men could be on the field at the same time. She scanned the other teams. Unfortunately, Colossus was probably her match up. Morgan was the only other that could protect himself from the guys brute strength. She at least would heal once her bones were crushed. She waited and saw who others would line up against. She had no real preference. Her only past Brotherhood rival was now on her own team.

She pulled her life vest over her head and fixed her hair. There had to be something more fun going on, despite her incoming call, because Courtney had a sickening thought that it might never come. No, she reminded herself, people don't forget me, I forget them. Who gives a ******** about them? She waited for Victoria to dock so she wouldn't have to walk back to the beach house alone, even though the rental was close enough Corky could see her roommates. They were on the beach with other people, she assumed it was the owners of the house next door. <******** it, I'm just going to ignore the call and party with these people. Even though they're all barbaric freaks.
"Hurry up, let's get back to the house." She shouted at Victoria in a bored voice. "They're up to something, and no one has fun without me."

"We are not in the same team," Wanda plainly told her brother. She threw the ball he gave her aside and put back her sun glasses. "I'm in Freya's team and you are more than dead." It seemed that she forgot what the match was about.
"That's easy. You can play up to four players. Againts me and Wanda. Powers are permitted but the ball must stay in the court. The first team to have mark about...hmmm...30 points win. The loser is out of the league and one of its members must become the slave of one member of the winning team. After that, the winning team goes againts the other team. The price is the same: get a slave for the rest of the vacation here. So basically, it's you guys againts us."
This is what Freya told both teams and she looked very proud about her rules. "If the winner of the first round loses the second one, the member who has a slave is extended from slavery. Nice don't you think?"
She really believed it was.

Something tells me that Freya's got something up her sleeve, Morgan thought as the teams were decided "Four on two? Why do I get the feeling that this isn't all it seems to be?" Morgan said, a sly smile on his face.
Four on two, and the winning team gets one of the losers as slave... Yeah this is definitely not all it seems to be...

"In that case I have a request," stated Pietro. "In return for me only moving say... five times faster than a normal human (which as you all know is kinda like Wolverine only being able to heal a papercut), I request that Wanda be prevented from altering the basic laws of physics nor may she nullify any of our powers. Anything else, sex change, making it rain blood, random explosions, those are cool. And I do think that, despite our differences, the X-Men will agree with me, because they have just as much to lose as the Brotherhood if we have to go against Wanda at full strength."
He smiled. "It seems like a fair deal to me, don't you agree?"

'He does have a point.' Danielle thought. Either way she didn't care, as long as she wasn't anyone's slave. So she just didn't answer at all.
