Welcome to Gaia! ::

Angela sighed. Des didn't look capable of answering at the moment. She glared at Zen for turning an annoying person into an even more annoying person.

"Dancing," she said, "you know...moving your body around in time with music? People do it for entertainment?"

Did this poor child know anything?

Angela glanced at Des. He didn't look like he intended to answer.

"Yes," she said. "Yes it is."

Angela looked surprised when Inutai picked her. She was still in a bad mood and rapidly losing the will to play. "Dare," she said, hoping he chose something fun.

Eh? The most abnormal thing? She could think of a lot of abnormal things. Walking on her hands backwards around the fire, crowing like a rooster would be abnormal.

But what would be the most abnormal thing for her. She pondered this a moment and as she did so, her eyes happened to pass over Sin and Zen. Ugh...that creepy tart. Acted just like...she stopped and a slow smile spread over her face. Acting like her sister would be the absolute most abnormal thing she could possibly do.

She looked around. Des was...no. Not an option. Zen was....she glared at him. No.

Toshi and Inutai were off limits and she figured she'd just scare Basti. Gar kind of freaked her out a little. She looked at Gyp and smiled. She remembered all those afternoons Ian taught her horrible pick up lines and chose one that had made him snort soda up his nose when she repeated it back to him. Standing, she brushed herself off and walked around the fire toward Gyp.

She leaned down gave him a smile, traced her finger down his cheek and said in as sultry a voice as she could manage, "If I said you have a great body, would you hold it against me?"

Angela's eyes went comically wide when Gyp pulled her onto her lap. When his breath ghosted across her ear, her face went flaming hot. Um, Um...what?

That wasn't supposed to happen, she didn't think. He was supposed to...snort soda up his nose and then point and laugh at her. That's what Ian did. Her breath caught in her throat

What should she do? Should she try to escape? Punch him in face--no, she didn't want to hit him. He was kind of funny. But...um...she was cradled in his body and it was not altogether unpleasant but it was definitely weird and made her uncomfortable and...and...why was her face so hot?

She cleared her throat softly and managed to squeak out, "Gyp--truth or dare?"

Inutai blinked as Angela went over to Gyp and sat next to him and started saying weird things. When Gyp went along with it, Inutai cocked his head slightly to the side. It took a couple of seconds, but the boy laughed, finding it funny.

"If you were suddenly transported to the sun because of an evil scheme devised by an evil Russian chicken and asked to take off your clothes and make love to the burning flames and then recite the presidents in alphabetical order by their middle name while juggling 11 midgets holding soda cans between your two front teeth that will be operated on by 86 evil Czechoslovakian dentists named Farkus who got their degrees studying the taste buds of Tom Selleck at a college named after some guy who wasted away his life by eating pork grinds naked in his mom's basement while searching for pictures of Kirsten Dunst to use for purposes that cannot be explained by the 1972 Junior High class of some school that no one cares about in Eastern Idaho where woodland creatures choose to spend their lives trying to recreate some bad 1940's soap opera instead of frolicking happily in the woods, would you prefer chocolate ice cream or vanilla?" Gyp replied smoothly, and in a single breath.


||I can sadly only take credit for the quotation marks and last sentence. The rest was all a pick-up line site that Kuro linked. ||

"I'm not entirely sure. I think I remember seeing the name from seeing my br--Kurokai's......stash of questionable material." He blinked several times while trying to recall, but to no avail.

"No matter. Chocolate or vanilla?"
