Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alice's face went stoic, as far as she was concerned the girl was a nusence much like the vast population of students at her school. Know nothing's that tried to better themselves by putting others down, and apparently by trying to kill others as well. She acted like she hadn't heard her and then went to stand on the far side of the front porch. As soon as Alice saw the well dressed man step out into the light, she felt herself blush in humiliation by how under dressed and tattered the waves from the sea had made her uniform. She turned her head trying to look like she really didn't give a damn about how she looked at the moment, although the color on her face would say other wise.

She would smirk and try to keep her calm appearence. As far as she was concerned she was probably having a bad drug induced dream, those stupid people who had shoved her into the pool must have loaded it with a high amount of something, so these people did not exsist. However she felt she might as well have fun with it while she was still in her dream like coma.

"What makes you say that...? I am wearing my school's uniform proudly... thank you very much..."

She would see the strange mouths that had been revealed on the strange man's palms. Her eyes would widen for a second and then relaxed again, her expression not changing in the slightest other then her eyes. She realized that since it was a dream they couldn't do anything to her. She looked up at the man raising an eyebrow which would read 'seriously?'

She then turned around and brushed her raven hair back with her palm, looking uninterested. She'd walk over to the porch and sat down on the steps of the stairs. She looked up at the sky, it was a bright Azure blue, and the white puffey clouds would slowly drift on the breeze. The sky was nearly black in the season they were in at home, and it was the rainy season, so she found the sky oddly enough entertaining. She whisper softly to herself.

"What a strange dream... I must have either hit my head too hard or swallowed too much of the chlorinated water..."

She'd give a bitter chuckle hard at the thought of anyone missing her back at the mansion. She could just imagine how much joy must be at the house at the moment. They really must hate watching her 24/7, some spoiled brat who really had no idea what she was doing. They probably only smiled at her because it was putting bread on the table, they'd just move on to the next person with money.

"Yeah... They are probably disputing over themselves about who will get my father's money... stupid scum..."

That was how she thought, she always assumed the worse of people around her at home. She would often try to make friends with them, but they always seemed so scared of her. She often grew bored because no one wanted to talk with her or even look at her. She wasn't as stuck up as most people thought, just very lonely.

Alice would look at her without so much as flinching, and just shrugged. Helen had made it very clear that she more then likely didn't like her, so even if the girl was a dreamed up image. She would do what she did to anyone else who she presumed to dislike her, ignore her. She would then just look up at the sky sleepily, hugging her knees. Her oddly colored eyes drooped in exaustion, and her head began to hang as she began to doze off.

Alice would tilt her head looking over at Helen and spoke softly. She was still drowsy and looked as if she was caught between a day dream and relaxing. She looked over at Helen, her mind in terrible confusion. She thought the strange girl did not like her at all so why was she attempting to make up with her, she wondered.

"May I ask why not...?"

Warning lights that were designed to scare off intruders only served to light his way, illuminating the catwalk infront of him in brief flashes of light like lightning. The metal rattled and rasped beneath his feet, matching the thud of boots below him as the Aekea security force chased him below. Teddy wasn't worried though, his exit coming up soon. He wasn't sure why there were chasing him really, he hadn't stolen anything, but from their shouting he could only guess they were pissed off at him.

What else was new?

They were going to beat him to the stairway though, their path unbroken by the winding nature of the catwalk. Who the ******** designed these things though? Teddy gripped a metal guard rail and tossed himself over, dropping the 20 feet to the ground below as the guards went running past him below. Down here, amongst the rows of electronic lifters, he was alittle more illuminated, but the guards really werent so concerned with that. His trip pants threatened to hook on the extended forks of the machinery as he began running again, laughing as the 'borg guards gave chase, mechanical legs whining and hissing as they fought to chase after the boy.

Across his back, the skateboard thumped hard, like a spirit upset over its captivity. It wanted off, but this was hardly the place, although Theodore was getting close to the gate. Abruptly, he burst out of the menagerie of metal and plastic, illuminated completely in the safety lights that jutted off of the warehouses on either side. It didn't matter to the guards what he looked like, but the random worker or even someone on the other side of the chainlink fence would probably be marginally more interested.

His bondage pants were blue tonight, the pockets and stitching done out in black to offset the lighter color while silver chains crisscrossed his legs and along his hips. Random studs stuck out from webbed covered pockets, skulls gleaming in the sudden light to wink and flash as the lithe male ran hard for the fence. His red and black checkered shoes slapped the pavement hard, counterpointing the hard thud of boots behind him. Teddy's right arm pumped hard, his left hand holding down his cream colored beanie incase it decided to escape from him. His chest was covered in a sleeveless black hoodie, the hood set back over the top of his skateboard.

All of this was a moot point if he got caught though, the uniformed guards behind him more than willing to beat him to a bloody pulp if they caught him. Which was exactly what the young Terran didn't want. He did have a good lead on them though, running hard for the fence. The chainlinks rattled as he impacted them, feet catching in the links and forcing him up as his hands gripped for hand holds, throwing his body up and over like a mexican escaping the borderguard. An expanse of cars spread out before him now, the parking lot of this particular factory filled with beaten up old rides that had clearly seen better days.

The Security guards stopped more abruptly than Teddy did, skidding to a halt at the fence to glare ineffectually across at the fleeing figure. the chips in their robotic limps wouldn't allow them to run beyond the limits of their prescribe areas. Teddy was, to be blunt, scott free, but that didn't stop him from running until he hit the street, exploding out onto the sidewalk in the sudden CHOCK of wheels hitting concrete. It was about time he put some distance between himself and the factory behind him. Sweat cooled on his face as the wind from his ride blew along, forcing it to dry on his smiling face.

" ******** yeah...."

That had been an awesome run, an even better escape, and the night was still young. Teddy had tons of ground to cover before the sun rose in the sky, the only lights there in the smog covered city being the streetlights he wove past, emerging then disappearing from the bright lights as he skimmed past the dives that lined the streets almost everywhere in the city. With so many poor workers around, the places were doing awesome business, honky tonk, pound, grunge and hundreds of other kinds of music pouring out onto the sidewalk to create a noise pollution the likes of which should never be heard by human ears.

Gang fights were always fun to watch. Moreso when whatever they were carrying was generally never strong enough to hurt you. The noise of the fight leaked through with the music, shouts and cheers and groans from the small audience standing out from the thumping, muted music in the same way a glass breaking stands out in a room full of talking people. And wasn't tonight all about having fun, just like every other night was? Teddy seemed to think so, the rolling wheels of his skateboard suddenly curving along the ground as he leaned, sliding down a small ramp of concrete that was mostly used for cripples to emerge out onto the street.

He caught sight of them just as Izzy came flying out of the group to skid along the ground. " Ouch...." that looked exceptionally painful. He could see the blood leaking out around the middle guys face, even though all of them were armed. This wasn't a gang fight at all....what the ******** was this?

" HEY! ******** WANKERS!"

Teddy shouted at the top of his lungs to be heared over their voices, the buildings and metal making it echo down until it could reach the downed Izzy and the group of ruffians she was embattled against. 1 against...well his eyes weren't so good that he could count them, but it seemed horribly unfair anyways. His skateboard jumped over cracks in the ground, foot stepping down to shove hard and propell him further until he had gotten back into the light, stopping at the edge to kick his board up and into his hands.

" What the ******** are you 'gits doing?"

A frown creased the skaters face, his words directed at all of them along with his eyes. The chick had a knife, so he guessed that was were the one guy had gotten his face cut open at least. Not bad that.

" Get the hell out of here you morons."

Teddy made a shooing motion with his right hand, gesturing behind them. He liked to play the vigilante every now and then, and he did have some rules to fair play that these guys were breaking hardcore.

" Yeah, just watch..... Prince Charming?"

Well that went about as well as planned. Running off at the appearance of a runt like him? Not gonna happen, but atleast they were paying attention to him now.

" Man ******** all of you guys, I'm just gonna have to beat all your asses now."

The hell was this prince charming s**t? Teddy shot Izzy a glare as he stepped forward, setting the board on the ground and sending it rolling away with a foot.

" Come on ya ******** p***y's, got time to beat up on a girl, got time to try and beat up on me. Here, I'll even give you first shot."

One group had called him a kid, and the other a prince, and he'd be damned if they'd keep calling him that. So, in the fashion of every diehard street fighter, Teddy stuck his chin out for them, shoving his hands into his pockets and looking the talker straight in the eyes.

" Come on, need encouragement?"

He'd heard something like that in a movie, but he didn't have a silver stake and he was reasonably sure this guy wasn't a vampire. Could be wrong, but you never know.
