[u]Karlie Davis[/u] Karlie looked over the edge of the waterfall, then down at her outfit. "Well poo..." She took off her hat followed by her boots and socks. [i]I wish I had known what we were doing ahead of time... Oh well.[/i] All the other costumes were animal ones, all of which were more cumbersome than her safari getup. Some were even full body. That meant it was good as it going to get, with the exception of stripping down more. If this group was a smaller gang of friends she very well might have. Then there was the fact that this outing was headed by a teacher, who was already in the water. [i]Wonder what he'd think if I dropped down in my panties.[/i] She chuckled a little as she tossed her backpack to the side. "Well, here goes nothing." Karlie rolled her shoulders back and tilted her head side to side before running off the edge. In the brief moment before she hit the water she realized something. All the other times she had done this sort of thing the swimsuit she wore made her good at it. Time she sorta just flailed in midair as she plummeted into the water bellow. Were this at a public pool there would have been a loud smack, likely accompanied by flinching from onlookers. As it was the sound of the falls drowned out the noise. Her toes all the way up to her belly were on fire. She scrambled for the surface, a few tears accompanied the droplets that clung to her face. Karlie used to be a decent swimmer, but she didn't give her power proper credit in that department until now. Gritting her teeth she struggled for the shore. She was going to be good not cliff diving for a while. On the bright side of things at least she could say that she did it. Henry was the last thing on her mind until she reached a rock she could hold on to, only then did she begin to scan the surface for him. All the while she clutched her abdomen and rubbed it gently. [u]Vespera Spindel[/u] [i]Does this girl have a deathwish?[/i] Vespera's tracked Shannon coolly. She was stone faced the entire time, in fact she didn't move a muscle. When she left she sneered contemptuously. [i]Let her think that she can just walk away. All I have to do is wait until later. Then she'll see just how much I like attention.[/i] Not very much. At least not undue attention. She was a little ticked at being singled out by someone other than her target. They were roommates so there was no escaping her. [i]Well to start off with I can make the room much more... homey.[/i] That's not the word most would use, more like a lair. Blocking the light from the window entirely and draping her webs all over the place. In the past she had done things like create a cover for the light that had shapes cut out of it. This time she had the idea to hang an effigy of Shannon in the doorway. It wouldn't really resemble her all that much, there were limits to her power. Still it would be clear who made it, and it really couldn't be for anyone else. [i]No no, I'll have to confront her first. Save that for later.[/i] Then she became a little more alert as a clear bestial type entered the lounge. Vespera moved around the table to get a better view, then made contact with the cue ball once more. Her speech was so unrefined that were it not for her visible power she'd have turned away. [i]Figures that she's friends with the mute.[/i] She looked over at blacky to see how he was reacting to being ignored right in front of him. Everything flipped when she indicated that she smelt bad. The pool cue in her hands started shaking a little. On the first day of school she had been made a fool of not once, but twice in succession. Her eyes briefly flashed and she shuddered as her skin momentarily began to darken. During her little disconnect the two newcomers had stood up and were heading out the door. Good riddance. Now maybe she would have a chance, though she was beginning to get the idea that it'd be more entertaining to string him than chat him up. Vespera was still a little conscious of the previous comment, so cut her pheromone excretion in half before approaching him. "Hold your face like that much longer and it might stick. Imagine how much a charmer you'd be then." She didn't look at him entirely when speaking, and she flicked her hand as if she was trying get something off it. [u]Seth Maxwell[/u] Adam ran after Poppy, and Seth followed much more casually. A brisk walk aided by his long slender legs. He didn't have to go that far, it looked as if another student had managed to pacify her. He leaned forward and adjusted his glasses. [i]Pheromones.[/i] A coincidence he assumed. Nobody could have planned this safety net, not even himself. By the time he got up to Adam the girls were nearly out of view. Things seemed to be going nicely and he surely wasn't going to follow them forever. [i]I wonder where they're headed...[/i] Then he snapped back to Adam. He couldn't lose his train of thought. While he was curious they were less important than the task at hand. "I presume everything is under control, for the moment at least." It wasn't the topic top of mind, but as a teacher he had other priories on top of his own. This whole island might as well have been a giant experiment to Seth. So long as he was high and dry he was content to let things run their natural course. "Next power training I'd very much like to work with her. It was unfortunate I was otherwise occupied earlier." From his stand point it sounded like things had gotten out of hand.
