Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pietro looked over at his sister with a smile. "Don't worry sis, I'll let you enjoy your eye-candy. I suppose this is no worse then me watching Blue Crush or Coyote Ugly or A Knight's Tale."

Everyone looked at Pietro with a very surprised expression when they heard that last title, considering there were very few female characters in that last one. Pietro, however, didn't seem too concerned. After all, his own sexuality had always been rather ambiguous. Although he loved to use that to weird people out, what he was REALLY attracted to was a mystery. At first people seemed to think it was any hot person with breasts, but lately he was making odd comments about anyone who was pretty. Breasts or otherwise.

He turned to Wanda though, shrugging off people's suspicions. "You know, hex bolts aside, we've probably had our best time today in years. You actually took out your frustrations with me in a positive way. I'd almost say that blonde chick is rubbing off on you."

"And it's really nice to have you back again..." he said rather distantly. This time, he did quiet down. Matters such as sexuality didn't mean much to him, but showing off a conscience was usually a no-no...

Sonya knew that one key things in fighting an opponent was to make them think you weren't tired out. She kept smiling and giving her all, but was slowly starting to get tired. The two swords clashed and they pushed against each other. "You are indeed much better then my master was," she said, quickly jumping back," But how are you at double sword fights?" When she said this, she was pulling her katana apart, making Penny think she had been hit too many times. But then another katana appeared in her hand. "This is my specialty, two sword fights. This sword was a gift from my master. It has an ancient power to produce extra swords." She tossed one to the side of Penny. "However, I was tought honor, so I will fight you two swords to two swords." She pulled apart another katana. She twirled both in her hands as she waited for Penny to pick up the other.

ooc: I wanted to make it more interesting with two sword fight.

Sasha choked, imaging the thought of Pietro with his boxers up his a**, or worse, his thong. She tried to play it off. She was a little surprise though by Wanda's friendliness. She could actually be nice sometimes. She also wondered what she meant by stone walls. She was thinking of looking into her dreams when Constatine was running from the devils. "Go tine go!" she cheered, knocking popcorn on Pietro.

Pietro listened to more death threats being thrown his way. "Yep!" he said. "This is without a doubt the most pleasant time we've spent together in years. I um... did mention I'm sorry, right?" His words were followed by a nervous laugh. He looked with mild irritation at Sasha, tossing the popcorn back at her as Keanustine waged further assault on demons with only mildly believable results.

Some new guy stepped in, and began watching the movie as if he'd been invited or something. This s**t was getting ridiculous. It seemed like anyone not willing to bother finding a decent spot under the bridge was shacking up with the Brotherhood these days.

"Excuse me," Pietro asked in a tone that would have sounded polite by anyone else except him. "But who the ******** are you?"

He sighed. "Actually, it doesn't matter... you'll end up living here anyway..." Pietro muttered. "Help yourself to the fridge, touch my beer and your life is forfeit."

He grunted at the silver haird person. "Just waiting for the rain to slack up neighbor...I won't bother you that much...and mind the death threats please..." He said in a relaxed tone. "I'm Markus by the way...." Not that he probably cared but still.

OOC: Now this is twice today. I had started a reply but Noelle turned off my computer...

IC:

WTF was about all Penny thought when Sonya pulled her little sword trick out. She had never seen anything quit like that unless it was a mutant ability trick or something by design. Since she didn't believe in magic or mysticism, there was some logical explaination to it somewhere... she didn't think too much on it. That was a distraction.

Picking the sword up, she moved it around in her hand to get it's feel. It was lighter and a bit longer than she would normally like, but would do. She wasn't one to argue with free weaponry in battle. That was hard to come by.

"Nice trick," She said and found her groove with the new weapon, "But don't worry, I can use two just as easily. I don't get to be the leader because of my charm." She said with much sarcasm. She had about as much charm as an aardvark. Her methods were usually club and drag home... Jacen excluded it seemed. Dammit, back to the task at hand... He is a distraction at the moment.

Penny took the first attack which was almost as futile as the last round they went through. They were able to counter each others moves. Blade on blade, metal to metal sounded through the ocean waves. When they both were caught in a series of moves, Penny was able to catch one of her blades between both of hers and use her foot to knock it out of Sonya's hand while blocking the other sword with hers. She took the opportunity.

Of course, it ended with her holding two swords at Sonya's neck and Sonya holding her remaining one at Penny's abdomine with a quick move.

"I believe, my dear, they call this a stalemate," Penny grinned, "And from the smell of it, just in time. Dinner is on."

They were both breathing hard, but smiling. "You are indeed very skilled, Ms. Penny," said Sonya, "You and I shall have to battle again in order to have a definite winner." She drew back her sword, and sheathed it. The extra sword disappeared, and bowed before Penny. "Thanks for the honorable match, but the rain's starting up again," she said as a flash of lightning nearly hit her sword.

"Sorry... my body is kind of like a lightning rod... so it'd be best if we didn't continue. I dont want any unfair advantages like that. It's custom to bow, shake hands, and clash the sheaths of the katana together to honor the spirit of the opponent. You don't have to do all that if you wish, but I'd at least like to shake hands."
