Elizabeth Marvel: Holding Sev's pale blue hand as she toddled along on the sidewalk outside of the restaurant, Kappa observed her rather stubborn nature. Her feet didn't seem to walk straight for whatever reason, toes pointed inward. She'd trip up every now and then, but she didn't fall down, as she clung tightly to Kappa's hand--it was really him who kept her from falling down, as he pulled up on her arm when she started to trip. Her face was twisted into a concentrated look, brows furrowed as she struggled to master this walking nonsense. On Solanga, she could have just bounced around. It was much easier that way.
8:10 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: Sev was rather enjoying herself, despite the look on her face. She was glad to be mobile again, even if she could barely get around. She'd learn soon enough. The world still twisted and turned, but she was more aware of her surroundings now, and occasionally she'd get a reprieve from the tripped-out world around her as her image of the world cleared for a few minutes at a time. Today, they were walking toward a building that looked like much of its innards were made of plastic. There was an interesting smell coming from the building, and Sev sniffed the air, curious. Whatever it was, it smelled pretty good.
Elizabeth Marvel: ((okay. I think I'm done))
ladyumbra666: (kk gimme a few)

Elizabeth Marvel: ((No prob!))

adyumbra666: What in all the names of hell is that , Jera wondered from inside a McDonalds. While Gaia was home to a variety of strange things she'd never seen anythign like the little girl headed into the restuarant. Strange wings technicolour hair and antennae all smooshed onto a cute little pale blue childs body as if the maker of the platypus was at it again and on drugs this time. If this was who they were meeting (and jera had no doubt that fate would make it so) then she'd be hard pressed to wonder what that child had doneto deserve such a strange and inexplicable body.
Not that she'd ask because for some memories of the past weren't always pleasant and some probably wanted to forget and enjoy their new life. However, if in time the two became friends she might pry, after all the girl might be useful to her in the future might have contacts she could benefit from. (done and yes Nyx is there)
8:20 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: ((Okay, cool))
Elizabeth Marvel: As Kappa pushed the door open for Sev, and as she toddled inside after him, he looked into the restaurant to see a woman, and a girl--well, a girl that looked as if she was half a horse--standing in line, waiting to order food. The pair managed to get into the line--slowly but surely, and Kappa couldn't help but pipe up as they waited to order.
Elizabeth Marvel: "Hey, what's up?" he greeted them, giving them a warm Kappa smile. "You two look like you might be looking for someone...I think me and Sev here are supposed to be having a playdate or something. I don't usually come to McDonald's for these things, but I'm sure Sev will love this place."
Elizabeth Marvel: The rainbow-haired girl just looked up at Jera in awe, her eyes as wide as saucers. A horse girl? She reached out with her hand, curious to pet the fuzzy body that was now so close to her. As she looked more closely, she saw the hair on the girl's body moving around on it's own, as if it had its own mind.
Elizabeth Marvel: ((Done!))
8:35 AM
ladyumbra666: Nyx grinned at the man who'd called out to her and Jera " Yep that would be us, also not normal patrons of this place but hey where else do you take kids to meet where parents can also relax." After all, at least if worse came to worse they could shove the girls in the play area, the though of Jera half drowing in a pit of plastic balls made her laugh softly.
Jera congratulating herself on being right didn't bother to avoid Sev's hand, she'd become used to the fact that in her current body she was an oddity and that everyone and their mother felt the need to touch her. Sometimes she was annoyed by the loss of her right to personal space but there was nothing she could do to change that unless she started kicking again and at her age even a warning kick would do more damage then was worth the hell she'd get for doing so.
ladyumbra666: This place is doctor Suess' dream world" Jera commented eyeing the insanely bright reds and yellows that made of the palces theme colours. " Right down to the moldy purple chicken nugget" she said eyeing a picture of Grimace.

8:40 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: ((Brb. I have to pay a few bills really fast))
ladyumbra666: (kk)
8:45 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: "True," Kappa agreed, nodding. The mother was already quite pleasant to talk to, so Kappa felt at ease almost instantly. "Though I'm not sure just how relaxing a McDonalds can be," he said with a chuckle, letting Sev's hand drop so that she could explore Jera's...fur.
Elizabeth Marvel: "I'm Kappa," he said, sticking his hand out for a handshake in typical Kappa fashion. "And this is Seveile. Or Sev, for short. She's a little odd sometimes, but I'm thinking she'll grow out of it one day." He looked down to see that she was now petting Jera, happily running her stubby fingers through fine blue hair and giggling to herself. As soon as Jera commented on the colors of the room, it was as if a light flashed on in Sev's head, even if it was for a split second.
Elizabeth Marvel: "Gwoss." The first word to come out of the little girl's mouth, and it was--gross? Seriously, odd. Sev turned to look at the rest of the decor, obviously put off by the coloration of the place. Her face frowned for a second, but as quickly as the realization had come, it went. Soon enough, she was happily playing with Jera's fur again, back in her own strange little world.
Elizabeth Marvel: "What was that? Did she say gross?" Kappa laughed and looked over to his daughter. "Her first word, and it had to be that." He sighed and looked up at the menu. "It's been awhile since I've eaten here...A very long while."
Elizabeth Marvel: ((done))
9:05 AM
l
adyumbra666: Nyx slid her hand into Kappa's " I'm Nyx and this here is Jera." Nyz found herself happy to have another guardian who seemed friendly to talk too. Not that the others hadn't been but there was always that chance that someone who cared for criminal was themselves harsh, grouchy b*****d who was doing this for personal reasons. After all as far she knew Archie had done
no background check on her before letting her adopt Jera.
Jera pawed at the linoleum floor with a rich purple hoof while she endured the petting. Someday when she returned home and saw a Tabula rasa ,after she hunted down and killed the one resposnible for this mess she was going to apoligise to them on behalf of every person who'd ever felt the need to stroke their hides. though she had to admit that it didn't feel horrid as long as sev went with the hair and not against it.
ladyumbra666: She smiled at Sev " Yep gross really a purple chicken nugget who'd eat purple chicken. I wonder if there are purple chickens somewhere out there?" Apparently she was really becoming a child and letting herself have second life becuase there was no way Suriana would have had such and obscure thought.
Nyx just shook her head " First words can be random and gross isn't nearly as bad as a curse word " Nyx didn't remember Jera's first word since one day the girl had been silent and the next bam sentences, not wonderfull ones but sentences none the less. " i don't know about you But I beleive that a bacon double cheeseburger is in order for me, and and choclate milkshake, if i'm going to eat unhealthy I might as well go all out. "
ladyumbra666: (done)
Elizabeth Marvel: "Nice to meet you and Jera," he replied, giving her a firm, but not too firm, handshake. "Sev arrived not too long ago, and we're still getting to know people. She hasn't really met any other...um, crim--I mean, ICRS kids." He stifled a giggle and nodded his head. "Yeah, at least she's not cursing up a storm. I try not to say too many bad words. I know how kids can pick up on that stuff." His voice sounded slightly unsure. "I'm not used to being a dad yet. This is all pretty new to me. And Sev's not like normal kids--at least I don't think so. She barely sleeps, or eats for that matter..." The dark circles under his eyes were proof enough of the not sleeping. Sev slept, maybe three or four hours a night, and that's all. Kappa on the other hand, liked a full eight hours, and he'd been having some problems with that recently. He never wanted to leave Sev alone. You never knew what would happen...
Elizabeth Marvel: As soon as she heard Jera talk to her, Sev's hand slipped off of her fur, and her wide eyes went to Jera's face so she could concentrate on what the girl was saying to her. She could understand her, but she didn't know how to form the words to reply. So instead, she smiled a goofy smile and eyed her some more, managing to get out a word or two here and there. "Chi-ken gwoss."
Elizabeth Marvel: "Looks like I'll be getting her a hamburger Happy Meal," Kappa said with a laugh. "And I'm not sure what to get for myself...that bacon double cheeseburger does sound appealing..."
Elizabeth Marvel: ((done))
9:20 AM
ladyumbra666: Nyx laughed " At that age kids run on nothing, they can be up forever, it's when they are babies that they sleep all the time. Now you're in for nonstop action and cries for attention. It is as they say, for the first bit we teach them to walk and talk then suddenly we're yelling at them to sit down and shut up." Nyx didn't recall ever having yelled at Jera though she'd been tempted to on numerous occasions.
Jera nodded at Seviles words " You learn fast kid, just listen to me and I'll tech you everything." Jera wondered what the hell it was with her that made her so fond of inncont little girls that put their trust in her. She supposed it was the trust thing, it had to be, she had no desire for little girls in any sense of the words.
Nyx nodded " since chicken appears to be out I'll get Jera the same, I wonder what the toy of the month is?"
ladyumbra666: (done *kills cat *)
9:25 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: Kappa frowned, thinking about what Nyx had said. "Well, I haven't gotten any sleep since Sev came here...even as a baby, she never slept. She just liked to stare at stuff. I still don't get it. Now that she's a bit older, she seems a little more...normal. But still, she's not like a regular kid. She can stare forever. I'm surprised to see her interacting so well with Jera," he said with a shrug. "She's been pretty anti-social with me, but maybe that's because she resents me?"
Elizabeth Marvel: He wasn't sure, but it's the only thing he could think of. Most regular kids didn't act like Sev. At least not as babies.
Elizabeth Marvel: "Well, I dread the day I have to yell at her. She's got such a sweet personality so far--I hope I never have to, but you never know. Kids are kids. My mom never really yelled at me," he said thoughtfully. "I guess I was a pretty easy kid to deal with. But then again, I wasn't normal either. I was--food." He chuckled and looked over at Sev, thinking about the day she'd be a whining, troublemaking teenager. It was a scary thought.
Elizabeth Marvel: "Kaykay!" Sev exclaimed, her face lighting up as she listened to Jera. Jera's face was currently contorted just slightly, giving her an 'off' look, but she was glowing a lovely violet color that Sev quite liked. Perhaps Jera's 'aura' made her feel more comfortable. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but she liked the horsey-girl already. She put a hand on her own head and then pointed to Jera's hair. "Wope!" she exclaimed, trying to get her point across, but not really succeeding. As her jelly-dreads writhed around and moved in Jera's general direction, they seemed to wonder if her braids moved independently as well. They weren't quite long enough to reach Jera, but one day, oh yes, one day they would be long and agile dreadlocks--like none ever seen before.
Elizabeth Marvel: ((done))
9:45 AM
ladyumbra666: Nyx nodded " Resentment could be a factor " She remembered her frist kick from Jera ." The staring thing sounds odd though, if she doesn't grow out of it soon I suggest seeing Archie and a doctor." She paused at Kappa's next words " Food you were food?" Even for Gaia that sounded odd.
Rope , her hair was rope? Jera just shook her head amused. First Eva thought she could ride her then Ein thought she was a unicorn now Sev thought her hair was rope, somehow Jera wondered if perhaps she was destined to to be misunderstood. Still she couldn't help but smile at Sev and her wriggly hair. She gently flicked her tail at the girls face enough to tickle her but not to sting badly.
ladyumbra666: (done)
Elizabeth Marvel: He laughed. "I can imagine that it might have something to do with it," he mused. "Have you had Jera long?" Kappa wasn't sure how fast they grew, but Sev had become a toddler, up and walking, within a relatively short time. "Oh, and yeah, I was food. I was sushi actually. Kappa Maki-Marvel is my full name--cucumber sushi. If you eat sushi regularly, it might be kinda obvious with my name and all." He sidled up to the counter and ordered his food. A double bacon cheeseburger combo meal for himself, and a hamburger Happy Meal for Sev. He also specifically told the counter guy that he wanted a girl toy for the Happy Meal, if they had choices. He thought his little darling would rather have a doll than a toy car...but he couldn't be more wrong.
Elizabeth Marvel: "No wope? Kay..." Sev seemed downhearted, and the dreadlocks retracted, coming back closer to her scalp, but still waving around in the air. She didn't stay pouty for long however, as she felt Jera's tail tickle her in the face. It took her by surprise and she jumped, immediately putting her hands to her face to rub the hair off as it tickled her nose. But it was gone sooner than she expected, and all she could do was bust into a squeal, and then, a titter of happy laughter. "Jawah funee!" she exclaimed, catching onto words faster than anyone would have expected.
Elizabeth Marvel: ((done))
10:00 AM
ladyumbra666: " Jera I've had quite a bit yes she shot up rather quickly for the first bit but she seems to have settled at this age for the moment." Nyx wondered if that was just the way things worked or if Jera's past childhood had been important to her and thus she was stuck there for the moment untillher current childhood was different.
She too orderd grabbing similar food and a boys toy for Jera. The centuar girl was far too rough in her play these days to give her anything easily distroyed or made dirty.
l
adyumbra666: Jera grinned at Sev and there it was again that warm feeling that happiness that she'd never understood before. the laughter and smiles of carefree children were something Surisana had never really experienced as a child but Jera, Jera knew them and she reveled in her ability to make others happy. " Sev is funny too, her hair wiggles and dances all by itself." Sev's hair remoetely reminded Jera of the two snakes that resided in Ein's.
ladyumbra666: (done
10:05 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: "Aaah, I see. Well, I'm sure she'll grow at her own pace. You never know what life on their planets was really like. Do you know much about Jera's home planet?" he asked as they waited for their food to come up, his stomach rumbling as he smelled the scent of cooking hamburgers. Glancing at Sev, just to make sure that things were going okay, he saw that she was having a rather good time with Jera, laughing and even talking more. It was good to see her do something other than stare. He'd never seen her this social before.
Elizabeth Marvel: "Funee!" she exclaimed again. This Jera girl was fun! She liked her already, and she liked the tickley feelings she got when her tail brushed her face. "Wiggle waggle," she continued, pulling on a dreadlock that had gotten too close to her hand to avoid it. She squeezed it, and the tip still wiggled on it's own as it protruded through the other side of her fist. Her hair never stopped moving, it seemed like. Even when she slept, Sev was sure that her hair played all night. It was probably one of the reasons she never slept. She didn't want her hair playing without her.
Elizabeth Marvel: ((done))
ladyumbra666: ( you know sev's mind appears tobe a rather interesting place)
Elizabeth Marvel: ((oh yeah, it sure is...She's all kinds of confused! rofl. Eventually her visions will become real, but for now, the world's just always f'ed up.))
ladyumbra666: ( i want to live inher head)
Elizabeth Marvel: (It'd be pretty carefree, that's for sure. XD)
ladyumbra666: Nyx shook her head " Not as of yet no, Jera and I haven't really discussed her past and unless she does something alarming I'll wait for her to bring it up herself." Jera seemed to be trying hard to start anew and she didn't want to mess things up by pestering her about her history. Still she hoped that someday Jera would trust her enough to explain it all.
Shifting her weight to her hind legs Jera used her forehoofs to tap out a quick beat in an attempt to keep Sev amused. Sev's hair was enough to keep Jera amused, it's strange myriad of colours combine with wit's ability to move and squish like that was just strange and would require further investigation.
ladyumbra666: ( done, like living in caboose's from red verus blue)
10:25 AM
Elizabeth Marvel: Kappa nodded. "Probably not best to delve into that right away," he agreed, picking up the tray of hot food that had just been placed in front of him. "I still wonder what Sev could have possibly done wrong. She's so innocent. It's hard to believe she was ever a criminal. He waited for Nyx to get her food, and then he motioned for the girls to follow them while they found a seat. As soon as they ate, they could go play more if they wanted to.
Elizabeth Marvel: Sev listened to the beat of Jera's hooves, and began dancing around in her own Sev-way, bouncing from one foot to the other and then up and down, turning in circles and giggling. The room had taken on several new and exciting colors that clashed horribly with the red and yellow of the McDonalds. It seemed whatever had been taking hold of Sev earlier was now doing it again. Things were no longer clear, but she was having a good time nonetheless.
