Welcome to Gaia! ::

(2nd period's over, so it's lunchtime, right?)

Domhnal sat down at his usual lunch table to wait for Kira, he pulled a peanut-butter sandwich out of his bag and began to munch as several terrified looking football players burst into the cafeteria.

"Hm, there's something you don't see every day..." Domhnal muttered to himself, over the usual din of the lunchroom he could just barely make out the sound of the quarterback loudly exclaiming: "That guy's a f^@#n' head case man! He should be put in a f^@#n' zoo!"

"Most unusual indeed." Domhnal considered tailing the quarterback, assuming from his foul mood that his attempts to super-wedgie someone had just backfired, and that he might be on his way to find an easier target, but he and the footballers were not on pleasant terms and he didn't want to instigate violence, so he decided first to investigate the source of the bully's annoyance, peeking out into the hall, he saw a 6'8" guy talking to some girl who he absolutely dwarfed (not that he seemed to have any difficulty doing that) But beyond that everything appeared normal.

"Weird" said Domhnal. "I guess whatever happened is over now..."

"Hey dipstick!" yelled a voice that made him cringe, he turned around and saw, as he expected, the Quarterback and his entire posse standing in a semi-circle before him.

"Oh great," thought Domhnal "Just what I was trying to avoid."

(( In my school it's in between 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th... ))

One of Geneva's eyebrows arched as the large boy approached and single-handedly broke apart the crowd surrounding her. Her stomach turned slightly, watching his show of brute force with wary interest. He was almost a foot taller than her, which was a feat in itself... A good pair of freaks we are... she mused. Her upper lip twitched in mild irritation. Rather than dispersing, the crowd was simply getting larger. Why must everyone draw attention to my existance?... she sighed and looked up as he asked her a question, her eyebrows narrowing as she glared at him. Her savior wanted praise, apparently.

"I was doing just fine on my own. You didn't have to do that." she said, her voice low and quiet. She ran a hand through her short, light-purple hair and took a quick glance at the crowd. All eyes were on her. She sighed and looked straight ahead, walking past as if she had been doing that from the very start. Once she had gotten around him, however, something caused her to pause in her steps. She sighed again and closed her eyes.

"Thank you." she muttered to him, before pushing her way through the crowd. She kept her head down and her steps steady as she kept her face stoic and secure.

After two hours of driving, Robert Franklin was happy to know that he had almost reached his destination, carrying with him a truckload of new fifty dollar bills to the Las Cruses Bank. Despite it being a city, it would seem that he had picked the perfect time to enter, as traffic seemed very low, or at least he thought. As the man went to turn up his radio, a sudden gleam bounced off his windshield and temporarily blinded him. He swerved slightly in tat moment but soon found the light had disappeared and he had not hit into anything thankfully. "You should really pay more attention to the road, someone might get hurt." With a shocked look on his face, Robert turned to find a boy in white spandex stretch out across his passenger seat, a white mask on his face covering the edges of his brilliant green eyes. "How the hell did you get in here?" he demanded of the teenager.

"It doesn't matter, now hold still and say cheese," Shawn smirked as he reached towards the man, grasping the steering wheel with his right hand and touching the man's forehead with his left. Gemini Light watched the man's face grow panicked as quickly he was turned to light. With a simply flick of his wrist, the thief flung the man out of the window and aimed him to land safely on the other side of the road. With the man no longer there to hold down the accelerator, Shawn knew he wound need to act fast and instantly began turning the wheel clockwise, sending the truck crashing into a nearby window. Of course, even with only a few seconds to react, the light boy was able to escape with time to spare.

Alex watched from the shadows as his brother rematerialized on the ground, everything had gone exactly as they had planned. He too soon appeared on the sidewalk and watched with his brother as the frightened man ran away, "Nothing left to do but collect," He smirked as he began to spread his shadows over the broken truck. Within moments the back doors flung open and the two brothers entered in tandem.

Geneva walked until she came to two large doors at the end of the hall. She turned slowly and peered back where she had just been walking. Her face was one of boredom and superiority. She didn't feel like being at school anymore. The girl was fully aware that the rest of her day would probably be spent avoiding stares and whispers about her latest escapade. No, it was time to go.

She pushed the bar opening the door with her back and left without a word.

The tall teen walked through the city for a little while, until a cacophony of voices reached her ears. She paused and thought about the voices. They didn't sound all that thrilled to be a part of whatever was going on. She then decided it might be fun to see what could cause a group so much commotion.

The source of the ruckus was a crashed armored van. Her curiosity got the better of her. She approached closer. Was there money in this van? She didn't believe for a second that anyone would see an opportunity at free money and pass it up. Except for herself, of course. She would gladly avoid grand theft any day.

So if there was money around, there was someone desperate enough to want it. She immediately looked over the people around her. Most were just surprised to see a van oddly jutting out of a store window.

As much as I hate to... she thought, I'd better be safe.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Slowly her nails began to extend, harden, and blacken, forming ten thick, gruesome looking claws. Geneva blinked through the slight discomfort it took to accomplish this feat. Now at least if someone tried anything daring, she would be able to defend herself... at least a little.

((Going on a three day school trip tomorrow... I will be back late Saturday and will probably end up posting early Sunday. Toodles.))
((Erm... okay... no one posted wtf?))

(Guess I'll post, though I just can't see them striking first)

The two twins were only about half way done collecting their prize, converting the money into light and shadow for convenience, when they began hearing people gathering outside, "Light, go outside and watch for the cops, I'll gather the rest," Alex said, making sure not to use his brother's actual name.

At Shawn's first scan of the perimeter, he saw nothing out of the ordinary, just a lot of people, but then he saw it, someone or something was growing in the crowd, "Uh, Shadow, I think you should come out here."

Grudgingly, the twin complied and temporarily stopped gathering the money, "What is it? We're only half way done and who knows how much time we have."

"Do you see that thing?" Gemini Light asked, pointing to the mutating girl in the crowd, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Yup."

Domhnal blinked and looked around, that was easily the shortest confrontation he'd ever experienced with his quarterback nemesis. He wondered for a moment why that huge kid wasn't on the football team, then dismissed the thought. "Who is that guy?" He asked Kira "Is he new?"
