[hr][h1][i][color=f26522]Diego[/color] & [color=ec008c]Lupe[/color] [color=f26522]Bella[/color][color=ec008c]squez[/color][/i][/h1] [@Maxx] [@He Who Walks Behind][hr] Lupe sidestepped Cassidy when the magician damn near ran into her. Christ, she liked the girl, but don't fuck with Lupe's thing, okay? Though, fortunately, Cassidy stopped herself. A sly smirk etched it's way across Lupe's lips. She realized something: she finally had her crew! Okay, they weren't the group she had in mind - [color=ec008c][i]I really doubt we[/i] clique [i]that well[/i][/color] - but hey, most of the Academy was pretty laaaaaame. At least she actually [i]had[/i] one. Well, come to think of it. Lupe took a step back, and crossed her arms over her chest. This was [i]Diego's[/i] group, not hers. She smirked, and put fingers to her chin. She was merely a member of his group of friends. A shame - but at this point, Lupe didn't care. She was tired of being ignored. Tired of being in the background. Time for the [i]Platinum Girl[/i] to make waves! Even if someone else was leading. Eh, better Diego than some tryhard. [color=f26522]"Oh, uh, hey, Cass."[/color] Diego said to Cassidy as he turned his body towards her. He certainly wasn't expecting her to walk up to them like this. Maybe the Bellasquez made bigger waves than they thought when they helped them defeat the monster. Unexpected, but he was going to make the best of it. [color=f26522]"Oh, yeah, this thing?"[/color] Diego pulled the guitar case from over his shoulder, and held the bottom of each end - presenting it to Cassidy to see. [color=f26522]"I practice playing-"[/color] Diego was, unfortunately, cut off by Lupe. Enough of this monologuing, Cassidy actually presented Lupe a subject that isn't lame. Their Guitars! Like, the two of them could go pro if they wanted to. She took a step in front of Diego (Before he said something [i]lame[/i]). [color=ec008c]"Ooooh."[/color] Lupe immediately exclaimed. [color=ec008c]"Both of us play guitar real good. The two of us were taught by our Grand mommy who was, you know, a master at it."[/color] She smiled. [color=ec008c]"My guitar is back in my room, uh.... Diego!"[/color] She pushed her younger brother by the shoulder, making him step a little closer to Cassidy. [color=ec008c]"Play the guitar for her! Show her how good you are!"[/color] She was doing Diego [i]a favor[/i] here. Showing her how good he is at the guitar would [i]greatly[/i] help him tap that. Wait, what? Diego didn't have too much of a chance to practice recently. And Lupe is expecting him to impress Cassidy? Damn her. Now that she mentioned it, now he had no choice but to do it. Otherwise, he was going to look like a chump. He honestly didn't know if he was good enough. [color=f26522][i]Good enough for what?[/i][/color] He asked himself as he came to the realization. While it was cliche, he was going to give it his all. While he's a little rusty, he couldn't be too atrocious. Diego placed the guitar case on the ground, and opened it - and was immediately confused. [color=f26522]"Huh?"[/color] He scratched the side of his head as he picked up a cigarette with two fingers. His vision went back to Cassidy, was she behind this? This wasn't far off from her cigarette creating antics. Before someone caught him, he simply slid the cigarette into his pocket (He was going to need it later) and pulled out the guitar. His bass guitar in all it's wooden glory. He put the strap over his shoulder, and had the guitar waist-level. He sighed as he put his fingers on the strings. Closing his eyes - trying to think of a song to play. The pressure... it was bearing down on him. At this point, however, Titus MacArthur walked up, and asked them what was up. Lupe looked up at him ([color=ec008c][i]Jesus, didn't know they made 'em this big.[/i][/color]) and put her hand on one hip. The big guy was alright - but he sure as hell played the dumb muscle trope up. Well, long as he didn't bother her, then he'd be firmly neutral. Though, with his giant ass around, things will get boring. Nobody would want to fuck with them with Titus in their crew! Since Diego was focusing, she might as well talk to Titus. [color=ec008c]"Nothin' much big man,"[/color] Lupe shrugged, [color=ec008c]"We're just chilling until something interesting happens. Lil' Diego is gonna play the guitar for us."[/color] She turned towards Diego, smirking. [color=f26522][i]God damn it, Lupe.[/i][/color] Diego furrowed his eyebrows and then looked at Lupe. [color=f26522][i]Not helping.[/i][/color] He let out a sigh, and went fuck it. Just get started, he'll let his skill do the rest. He moved his fingers as he began playing the guitar. [hider=The Song Diego is playing](Just, uh, ignore the video, plox.) [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td_ViCMBZRg[/youtube][/hider] Once he was finished playing the song, he merely stopped. [color=ec008c]"Bravo... Braaavo."[/color] Lupe said, with plenty of sarcasm in her voice. [hr][h1][i][color=8dc73f]Fiona Ashley Barrett[/color][/i][/h1] [@Empour][hr] Kayla's footsteps definitely did not go unnoticed - Fiona's immense sense of hearing managed to pick it up. Plus, she could hear the girl's heartbeat! Of course, from the roof, she couldn't physically see the person. It was simple as turning her head, and letting her compound eyes do the rest. That's when... things... got a little awkward. Fiona was staring at the newcomer for what felt like minutes (It was only one minute of staring). In this time, Fiona was able to "take in" Kayla's many physical traits. The girl was really short (Fiona could tell), definitely of Eastern descents, and had blonde hair. She was kind cute, Fiona had to admit. Though... they weren't off to the best first impression given this staring contest. [color=8dc73f]".... Hi."[/color] The Cricket said in order to break the silence. She didn't know what to do next. She felt like such a [i]freak[/i] right now because of Kayla's constant staring. [color=8dc73f][i]Stay cool... just introduce yourself. Show her you aren't a freak. That you're just like her! Yeah, I'm going to do that.[/i][/color] Fiona nodded her head, and walked over to the edge of the building. Once she reached the edge, she did a little hop, and landed some distance away from Kayla. She didn't get too close because she didn't want to scare the poor soul! She landed with a thud, and little damage to herself. She walked up to Kayla and looked at her. Their height difference was even more apparent now. [color=8dc73f]"I'm, uh, [i]Fiona[/i]. I noticed you were looking at me up there."[/color] [hr][h1][i][color=6ecff6]Adam Leo Blackmore[/color][/i][/h1] [@UrbanEvolution][hr] After his meeting with Henry Olin, Adam simply waited behind his desk and relaxed. He let out a sigh as she read a book of his. Hoping that the rest of his day goes smoothly. However, he received a call from Henry Olin. That means the NEST agent must have a report? Hopefully good news. Adam reached over and grabbed his cellphone, pressing answer. [color=6ecff6]"[i]Adam Blackmore[/i] speaking."[/color] He said. "[b]Hey, Adam. I have bad news and... more bad news. The first being that, the body is completely gone. Meaning this thing is either still alive somehow, or someone doesn't want me looking at it. The other bit of bad news is that I contacted my... animal control advisor and they taxonomized it as being canine or feline. Meaning it more than likely has a pride or pack out there in the surrounding woods.[/b]" [color=6ecff6]"What?"[/color] Adam said, the sheer disbelief in his voice was obvious. He didn't know what to respond to first. The body disappearing, or the fact that there might be [i]more[/i] of them. He let out a sigh. [color=6ecff6]"This is..."[/color] Adam said, trailing off. [color=6ecff6]"... Very unfortunate."[/color] He finished. He knew that he needed to get to the bottom of this. Starting with what happened to the body. That creature was very dead - it suffered so many wounds that it would be implausible for it to get back up. Especially after what Adam did to it. Someone must have moved it themselves... which raised the question of [i]who[/i] would do it, and [i]why[/i]. [color=6ecff6]"This is very concerning indeed, Agent Olin."[/color] Adam stroked his beard. [color=6ecff6]"However, I believe it is best for you to handle the beast... I will see to it that I find out what happened to the body."[/color]
