Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kidd held he legs tight to her chest. she could feel something building up in her. she opened her eyes to she frost allover her skin and ice on the ridges of her body. "oh..oh my god *ack*" she grabbed her chest. the building inside her was starting to ache. she sat up and looked around. the walls of ice were getting bigger. she looked threw them and saw something i the water. no some one. "Darius! No! stay away! i don't want to hurt you!" sh started to get up on one knee, but she fell to her hands. "no..." she whispered, suddenly her head was jerked back and a beam of ice shot strait through the ice at Darius. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

He was in a tree, just sitting there, crouched really, in a tree over looking the pool area of the Brotherhood home. Toad watched silently as he comrades became drunk and stupid, he watched to new members as well, having not yet met them face to face. Scratching his nose Mortimer’s gaze turned to the sparkling pool water. He was have loved to jump in from his stop in the tree, with his legs mussels he would have made it into the deep end easy. But sadly, he couldn't swim, nor did he dare enter the water, for water was like sope which meant it was evil. He was still however, wearing his swim trunks which were almost to small for him, having been worn only once years ago.

Spotting Lance by the poolside with some kind of can in his hand, Toad smiled, turning his attention away from swimming. Hoping the can was soda, preferably root beer, Toad let go his long tongue and "grabbed" the can out of Lance's grasp. Then without a thought to it, Mortimer let his tongue come all the way back into his mouth, can and all.

darius backed off when kidd told himto stand clear off. he saw the ice beam "whoa!" he said barly missing it.'i hope becky get here with some one and fast...'. he did his best to keep kidd from floating away, and hopeing for help fast.

"AGH!" Toad exclaimed, as the beer can’s liquid touched his taste buds. The alcohol was cold and harsh tasting, it even burned slightly if you would go that far. Quickly Mortimer spit the can and its contents out of his mouth, along with a rather large ball of risen. The slimy mess landed square in the pool, where the beer can tilted to the side then slowly sank as water filled it's emptiness with a mess of bubbles. The risen however, just floated sickingly on top of the water, like the pond scum it seemed to be modeled after.

Without seeming concerned Toad hoped down from the tree, and landed less gracefully then he normally would thanks to the swim trunks.

"Where the hell have you been?"

Toad smiled, letting his yellow teeth show. Where had he been? It was a good question, one that Toad would have to make as dramatic as he could. "Well see, after ditching the school I decided to follow that Vicky girl yo." Mortimer said in reply to Lance's question, as he leaned back ageist the tree. "Then I broke into the X-mansion and snuck down to the med-lab, where I found your little friend Victoria. And I jumped on her bed, and grabbed her neck from behind, holding her hostage in front of her "boyfriend" and demanding money and weapons. But he only got medical supplies, which he used as nuncucks, and I was forced to leap from the bed, releasing my hold on the girl. And I grabbed a bed pan with my tongue and flung it at the boy, knocking him in the head and sending him crashing into the floor. Where I quickly pinned him with resin, but I forgot about the girl who had run off to get Summers. And I didn't want anymore trouble, so I quickly escaped before ol' one eye got there. Then I came here." Toad finished, slicking back his hair and trying to be cool.

s**t. For no apparent reason, Toad stole his perfectly good beer, only to spit it out and contaminate the pool all at once. Lance winced as as a large blob of resin came with it and moved sickeningly with the flow of the water. The beer bottle was lucky. Within seconds, it took on water and sank with a small 'CLANK' to the bottom, undoubtedly to get away from the stench.

Soon after the beer stealing incident, Toad hopped out of the tree he was in and preceded to answer Lance's question. The basic points of Toad's story was that after leaving Bayville, he followed that girl Victoria back to the X-Mansion where he took her hostage while he demanded weapons only to escape before he caused anymore trouble. Right. Lance found it hard to believe that Toad had left the X-Mansion of his own free will but...as for causing chaos part, that was believeable.

"Good, glad someone payed those X-Geeks a vist," said Lance, now noticing that Valerie was sober enough to saunter to the edge of the pool. What was she doing? Sobbing? Possibly due to the mess in the pool, but thanks to her water based powers was soon fixed, leaving the pool as resin free as it was prior to Toad's appearance. However, the beer can still lingered at the bottom.


Said the blond, who had rounded up on Lance, demanding that he dive in and pull out remove the beer bottle before the 'water got mad at her'.

"Why the hell should I get it?" Said Lance, who was obviously not going to do it, especially not because Valerie told him, "The frog-boy here was the one who put it there. Why don't ya make him get it. Or better yet, get it yourself."

"Well It was YOUR beer can to begin with!"

Valerie folded her arms over her chest with a smirk, eyes closed in a matter of fact style. She wasnt about to dive in, after all she had only just gotten her skirt dry, even if it did smell of Sake still...

"And it doesnt look like your Froggy friend here would do well in the water!"

unfolding her arms, the teen faced the water and sighed looking at the can sitting at the bottem of the water, turning back to Lance she pouted in a sweetish fashion and blinked her eyes a large amount of times in an attempt to get him to fetch it. she knew it wouldnt stand a chance, but it was worth the try

"Pretty please with Mizu on top!"

Zion looked back and forth between the two then down at said beer can. "Val, love, I don't that'll work on him. Plus you two are sounding like a married couple arguing over who should clean up the baby's puke." Said the tall teen from next to the blonde one. "What a waste of beer at that anyhow." Zion shook her head tsking and then slid into the pool and retrieved the can in question. When she got out she was holding it by the tip due to the partial resin that was on it. Looking over at Toad she said, "Hun you gotta watch where this ...er...stuff...goes." Then she tossed the can in the trash. Opening the cooler she grabbed a bottle of beer for herself and twisted off the cap and took a long pull.
