Vergere 1 Posted May 23, 2008 He nodded and went to go get her order. ****** Kelly glanced at Nat. "So what now? What are you planning to do with it all?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted May 23, 2008 "I don't know." Natalie admitted. "The only thing I can do I suppose...try to make the best of it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted May 23, 2008 Kelly motioned outside. "If nothing else, when in doubt, go surfing." She grinned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted May 23, 2008 August blew out a breath of relief, glad that he hadn't noticed her looking up before he spoke to her. She bit the inside of her cheek, looking around the seating area, then dug through her bag for the sketchpad she was working on. * * * * * * * Finished, Sean took his glass of iced tea into his dim living area and sat down. He moved the glass around slightly in his hand, letting the ice cubes gently clink against the side. Such a beautiful sound. A lot better than what most of his students were listening to nowadays. Taking a sip, his glanced over to his coffee table, where various remotes and electronic gadgets were laid out in neat rows on its clean surface. He set down his glass on a coaster then reached for the second cell phone on the left and flipped it open. Sean dialed a number, the only one in the phone's address book, that hooked to the main line where he knew some of the Brotherhood were staying. * * * * * * Once home, Joseph joined his mother for dinner, each of them discussing their days.

Rogue 4 Posted May 24, 2008 Natalie smiled at Kelly. "Yeah, perhaps some surfing is in order." *** Neil sighed when the phone wouldn't stop ringing, walking over to pick it off of the wall. "Thank you for calling the Brotherhood residence. Press one to talk to Raven, two to talk to a handsome Irish Devil, three to speak with your choice of the world's animals, four to have a conversation about tea and crumpets, or hang up and talk to yourself."

Vergere 1 Posted May 24, 2008 Kelly smiled faintly and glanced at Marcus. "Want to surf with us?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 24, 2008 Marcus shook his head. "Thanks but no thanks. I've never been good at surfing." Before anyone could say anything about teaching him, he added, "Not for lack of trying, either. I'll just hang out on the beach...or maybe go for a swim. Watch out for sharks or something." He winked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue 4 Posted May 24, 2008 Natalie smiled, reaching over to ruffle his hair before walking over to the door. "Well if we're going to get some sun in, I suggest we do it while the sun's still out." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted May 24, 2008 "Psh. Nighttime surfing is more fun..." She waved to Nat as she headed to the door. "I'll meet you at the shore in five minutes." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted May 24, 2008 "You got it. I'll meet you outside." She grabbed Marcus by the hand and dragged him along with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted May 24, 2008 Kelly smiled and, seeing how Lance was still sticking around, motioned him to get out before she hurt him. With a grin, Lance obeyed and closed the door behind him as he walked out into the main area of the Cove. **** As they walked out, Catalina was busy serving various people. However, she slipped in something someone had spilled on the floor, but instead of just falling like almost anyone would have, it looked like a scene straight out of a movie. She managed not to drop anything on the ground, and didn't ever actually fall, either. Just a lot of random and interesting maneuvers to keep her balance and make sure the order she was carrying didn't go flying across the room. As she regained her balance, she glared darkly at the spot that tried to make her fall before continuing to the table she was headed to before the incident.

Drake 53 Posted May 24, 2008 Marcus stumbled along behind Nat, as she pulled him, then stopped. "You go on ahead. I'm just going to get some fries then I'll be out. You want some?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted May 24, 2008 "Sounds great, I'm starving." Natalie smiled at him, reaching into her pocket and dumping some money into his hand. "I'll go get changed and meet you on the beach, okay?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 24, 2008 Marcus pushed her hand away, "Don't worry, I'll pay. See you out there." When she had gone, he went over to the counter and waited for someone to come by to serve him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 53 Posted May 24, 2008 "Just a couple of regular fries, a Coke and a Dr. Pepper," Marcus said then he put the money down on the counter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted May 24, 2008 She smiled faintly and nodded before rushing off to get his order. Kelly came out a few minutes later, dressed in a wetsuit and a surfboard in hand. "Hey Marcus." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 25, 2008 "Hey Kelly," Marcus said. "Nat's just getting changed and I'm grabbing a bite. You or Lance want something while I'm here?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vergere 1 Posted May 25, 2008 Kelly smiled and shook her head. "Thanks, but no." She casually leaned against the bar area and looked out over the gathering crowd. "So out of curiosity, how long have you known?" To anyone but them, it would seem an innocent question and part of an earlier conversation, the latter of which being true. However, it referred in no way about them being mutants. ***** The manager returned a bit later with August's meal. "Let me know if you require anything else, ma'am." He smiled and went to help another customer. ***** Catalina returned with the drinks and fries for Marcus. "Here you go... Oh, hey Kel." Kelly just smiled over at Catalina as the other girl returned to working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted May 25, 2008 "You mean how long I've known about...me?" Marcus asked. When she nodded, he said, "Well, about three years. I was camping with my folks and got turned around in the forest. I was attacked by a bear. As soon as the bear touched me, well...you can guess the rest. How about you?"

Vergere 1 Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) She shrugged. "Five... six years." Kelly smiled faintly. "I wanted bigger waves to surf on, back in Australia. Figured out I could get them to do what I wanted if I concentrated hard enough." She shrugged, and looked over at Marcus. As she did so, a somewhat strong breeze came through the place in one burst, and her eyes flashed from green to blue, and back to green. Kelly grinned at him before looking back over the gathered crowd of patrons. Edited May 25, 2008 by Tyche Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
