[IC] The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP (Relaunch)

[AcerRo]

Over and over again Eli played that same wordless song, over and over, version after version the Malaguena was played. It was pretty clear that Eli was lost in own world, the sounds of the gulls faded away. All he could he hear was the waves crashing down and the sound of every string he plucked. After a time of walking Jim Harper lead Elijah Craig to a bar not but a few feet away from the ocean.

"Want a beer?" Jim Harper asked Elijah, only to watch him get even more lost in his own little world. "EC! You want a beer!" Jim's voice loudly boomed finally get Elijah's attetion.

"Best bring a bucket LT." Eli shouted back.

"Aye G-d that boy can drink." Jim Harper said going off to do what was asked of him.

Eli other the hand found a hammock and jumped into it. He was even more shocked to find an old baseball cap underneath him. An old worn out cap that had years of use on it. There was a time when this hat was a navy blue with an orange power T on it. Like his shorts it had seen many better days yet its wearer it was every bit as good as the day it was brand new. "Jim I found my old hat!" Eli shouted. Something was again not right, up to this point it had been one the best days for Elijah Craig since who knows when. Could things really keep going this good? Eli pushed that thought from his and put the hat on his head. All he needed now was a pair of sunglasses and he could be proper douchebag. With the hat covering his eyes Eli started playing another song

Jim Harper had shown up with the bucket of beers just as he asked. What he wasn't asked to do was sit down and listen to sorrowful music all the damn day long. "EC, I aint got one objection to watch the ocean and pretty women run up and down this beach. Don't bother me you playing the whole of the time, but I'll be damn if Imma sit here and listen to that sad shit. Give a man hope son! What was that one song your Momma loved so much? The one that gotcha playing in the first place."

Eli sat and moved his hat to keep his eyes clear. "El Passo by Marty Robbins. Gun Fighter Ballads and Trail Songs was the album." Eli reached for and opened a beer. "Care to hear it?" Eli asked after taking a drink.

"Fuck no, but I'll take it if it gets you off that sad shit." Jim Harper shot back

"Roger that LT." Eli laid back in his hammock and started playing yet again he was even singing this time. While even he'd admit he didn't the best voice talent in the world, it was more than passable. Good but not great.

"Thank you Chief Warrant Office Craigh." Jim Harper smiled as he sat back in his chair.

Aya blinked at the drink two drinks Jake held in his hand. Those hadn't been there when she'd left, had they? She raised an eyebrow at Nate's indignation and then his pride, a smile of amusement tugging at her mouth. Nate held one of the drinks out to her and she took it with a small 'thanks,' but then he stretched his hand out, asking her to show him where the boys were.

"Oh," she said, swallowing her first sip of the drink. She suddenly felt bashful again, though she couldn't quite figure out why. Maybe it was that odd flash of… something she'd had the last time she took his hand. Maybe it was the fact that they'd just be two people randomly standing with their eyes closed on the beach and Aya could already see a couple of people giving her confused stares. But either way, Aya just held up a hand and quickly said, "We can really just walk over. They all have bodies now, so you don't have to go to the other side to see them." She pointed in the general direction, saying, "They're just a ways that way, in the ocean on some crocodile floatie thing."

She began walking the direction she'd pointed to, fiddling with the drink in her hands. Was… was she supposed to say something? Nate was a social person, right? That meant conversations. Then again, most of his conversations seemed to be with himself. Perhaps it was less sociability and more instability. Aya turned her head towards him and opened her mouth to undoubtably shove her own foot into it, but then she heard something that stopped her dead in her tracks. She knew that giggling voice.

"Cassandra?" she asked, stunned. She looked where the voice had come from and sure enough, there she was. Relief shot through her when she saw the younger girl, making sparks in the sand and sitting with some other people. Aya couldn't remember why it was so important to find her, but all she could register was how happy she was that Cassandra looked happy and safe. Forgetting everything else, Aya dropped her drink and dashed towards her, barely stopping in front of the group before she ran them over.

"Cassandra!" she exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. It was then she realized she didn't know what she should say aside from that. Her smile dimmed a bit in embarrassment and she glanced between the different people there, giving a small shrug of apology. "I've missed you," she said lamely. "It feels like it's been a while, yeah?"

"Iiiiisaaaaaaaaaccccc!"

Isaac sat quietly, eyes shut tight as Camille sprinted past, bringing a sand wave with her; and then again when Isabella began chasing Alto. The sand waves left piles of sand on his shoulders and skewed his parasol. Isaac could only sigh a heavy, soul-sucking sigh, supressing his annoyance. He had to supress his urge to kill, it was broad daylight. It would be impossible to do it without drawing a lot of attention.

Isaac got up, sand falling off his shoulders like a river. He picked up the parasol and folded it up. The warm sun heated his pale skin to an uncomfortable degree, but he wouldn't be in it for long.
I can't deal with this. Isaac thought. He picked up the parasol and went into the rainforest to explore.

-------------------------------------

"Ueh!" Loki said as he was pelted by sand.
It fell all over him, even as he stepped backwards attempting to avoid it. Fortunately, he was wearing beach shorts, but there was another sacrifice.
"My ice-cream!" He said in despair.

Unfortunately for Loki, it was covered in sand. Isabella ran past and the sand kicked up by her slapped the cone out of his hand. Loki sank down on all fours, head bowed down in defeat. His ice-cream was long gone.
"My precious ice-cream..." He said sadly.

"Um..." The ice-cream stand clerk said. "If you like, I can give you another one for free..."
Loki immediately perked up at those words.
"Really?" He asked, eyes shining with hope.
"Here." She replied.
She gave him another ice-cream cone.
"Yay!" Loki cheered, taking the cone. "Thanks a lot! I owe you one!"

He took a walk while eating his ice-cream. There were an awful lot of metas on the beach, which was weird, but he could get behind that.
"I wonder if Scarlett's around here somewhere..." He thought.
Finishing his ice-cream within minutes, he suddenly found a beach stuff rental store. He entered and found what he suspected he might find.
"This is going to be great. Huehuehuehuehue..." Loki said, creeping out the store clerk.

A few minutes later...

Loki stabbed a post in the ground, then another one a short distance away. In the middle, he strung up a net. Lastly, he held up the ball and took a deep breath.
"BEACH VOLLEYBALL!" He yelled enthusiastically, expelling all the air in a loud burst.

A few beach-goers were drawn to him. This might be an interesting volleyball match...

[Letter Bee]

Loki saw two people coming towards him; one was a blond haired-blue eyed man man wearing glasses, clad in swimming trunks with an african pattern of colors, accompanied by a young-ish woman clad in a one-piece suit, with long blond hair and eyes that seemed to constantly change color.

"Heya Loki!" said Constantine, "It's me, Constantine Ramiel King, and this is my new girlfriend, Gia! And of course we'd love beach volleyball!"

Jake

Chase Scene

There was a rustle in the trees near the edge of the beach. Something moved. A gentle breeze swept through the air and a flock of birds rose out of the trees, scattering in all directions. They were fleeing from something. Some unseen monster that lurked just out of sight. But the monster didn't remain out of sight for long.

Suddenly bursting from the tree line came Jake. At full speed he bolted across the sand after some small furry rodent. His mouth was open and his tongue hung from one side like a giant derp machine. He zig zagged across the beach in pursuit of the rodent with surprising speed but couldn't match the other creatures agility as it continually evaded him. He didn't mind though. He was having the time of his life chasing this little critter.

His senses were all locked on his target. So much so in fact that he didn't even notice there were other people around until he barrelled into someones legs and sent them tumbling to the sand. Jake stumbled a little himself but was quickly back to his paws, looking for his new buddy.

Gone.

Where had the little bugger gone? Had he scurried off in the split second that Jake wasn't watching? He spun around a couple of times as he mumbled "Where did he go? Where is he?" Still no sign. He stopped, only now taking notice of the rather oddly dressed and gangly man he had run into. Jake noticed beak like nose of this man and the odd clothes he wore. There was something strangely familiar about him. Not that Jake particularly cared. He was still too interested in continuing the chase. He got right in the downed mans face, a little too close for comfort actually, and asked him "Where did he go? Did you see him?" not expecting the man to be able to understand him but noticing something odd about the sound of his voice. It didn't feel like it was just in his head anymore. The dog inadvertently slobbered on the man's face in his eagerness to find the rodent.

Before the poor victim of Jake's lumbering frame could respond though, something caught the dog's attention. He saw something out of the corner of his eye. Something moved. Entirely on instinct, he barrelled after whatever it was until he hit the shoreline and stumbled, falling flat on his face. A small wave smashed into him and snapped him out of his chase frenzy then. His mind at least somewhat cleared by the water, he quickly stood and shook as much of the water from his fur as he could.

The little blighter had gotten away but damn it, this place was fun. His tongue dropped out of his mouth again as he wondered what else he could chase.

@GentlemanVaultBoy

Nate

Following along after Aya, Nate took another sip from his drink. He looked over his shoulder at his duplicate who had retaken his position on the sun lounger and kind of wished he had sent the clone to search for the maniacs rather than going himself. Damn it. He could have been sunning himself right now. Oh well. Plenty of time for that later. Now he had to figure out why Kuro and Mu were suddenly on the outside of Jackson.

He turned back to Aya, ready to ask her all about herself when he saw her open her mouth as though she was about to ask him something herself. Mom always taught him to let ladies go first so he kept his trap shut. But then Aya was distracted and ran off to hug some girl Nate had never seen before. Nate was confused and, as always, was full of questions but he decided to hang back and let Aya talk with what he assumed to be an old friend.

One of the dream people noticed Light, came up to her, and asked her an odd question, wondering where Light came from and talking about some sort of car ride. "No, I came here from the sky, or the ground, or whatever works best in dream logic." Light said. She heard someone calling out a volleyball game a little bit away, and either out of sheer boredom or interest, Light walked over there to join up with the man.

"Great... I'm sure I know this guy from somewhere, maybe." Light said, looking over Loki while brushing some sand out of her dress. "I'd think people would think its a bit weird for a cartoon girl wearing a dress on the beach while everyone is wearing swim trunks or bikinis, but this lot doesn't seem to mind. Dream logic." Light said to herself with a smirk.

Jackson

The 3 followed Max's instruction and were able to make it to shore, Kuro vanishing the moment he could stand again. He was finally free to do anything he wanted, so he dedided to do everything. Soon cries of embarrassment, anger, and confusion could be heard from all around as Kuro,stripped women bare, dressed men in the stolen swimsuits, placed sleeping vistors in compromising positions with each other, and even buried a few people in the sand. He put some pale looking guy in a bikini as he walked over to the jungle(Issac), dunked a bucket of cold sea water on some little girl(Camille, and almost stripped a girl around his age(Ann), but he stopped when he saw who it was. I've already upset her enough, so I'll spare her. . . for now at least.

After causing a great amount of Chaos on the beach, he left to the resort, where he found Cer talking with some older guy. Vengeance isbest served nude. He mused as he swiftly made off with her swimsuit, leaving her very much unclothed. He also took some pictures, using a camera he'd jacked earlier. He'd actually stolen a lot of things, including several bottles of beer. He had one in hand and was current downing the whole thing like it was going out of style. Reachung for another from the crate he nicked, he came across a hut with two guys inside. A Chesire smile in his face, he raised up a marker and began to add some liberal decoration to their faces. Penises a plenty, some mustaches, pimples, monocles, even coloring in a few of their teeth. His work done, he went down another way, laughing like a maniac as he downed another bottle. He had no idea what this beer stuff was, but it made him feel like he could do anything. . .anything bit walk in a straight line that is.

While Kuro caused Havoc, Jackson was stuck dealing with Mu, who seemed to be unable to use his powers for some reason, as he tried to stab several beach patrons with a piece driftwood. He'd given the lifeguard a quick good-bye and, after failing to achieve cooperation of non-violence, had trapped Mu in a floating energy sphere until he promised to behave.

"Can I stab that fat guy over there? How about I bash in that naked lady's head as she runs this wat? Come on, Jacky Boy, there has to be someone you don't like here, point me to them and I'll stab them right between the eyes."

[i]This is a nightmare, Mu and Kuro in their own bodies, Good thing Mu's powerless or else we'd already have a huge body count. Fucking hell, Kuro's completely lost it, hasn't he?"

Jackson looked at all the chaoswith no idea where to even start looking. This was going to be a lonh day.

Jaden

"Well then, this is going wonderfully," Jaden said in a self-mocking tone as he stuck a flag into the pile that was supposed to be a castle. He seemed a little disheartened, but a smile came to him as he had an idea. He drew a line in the dirt, seperating the castles in a way so that he had three and Eden four. Once that was settled he put his hand forward, and an 10 squirrel sized beast came from his arm, wuth half going over to Eden side and half to his.

"A game to pass the time, you have to take all of my castles before I take yours, or defeat all my forces with at least one of your's surviving. You ger 2 moves on your land and one on the enemies, each pieces can take 3 attacks before it gets turned and becomes yours. Each creatute can only attack once, so make the count. You have the first move." Jaden said, giving a flourish with his hand as he explained the rules.

Damien

"Damien Rhodes, and I hope you don't mind when I say that is a peculiar name, Ava. I don't know why I brought it up, just fero like I should be rembering something-" He would've said more, but he noticed two things. One, he'd riun out of his drink, and Two, Ava was naked in front of him. Hehad sworn that hadn.t been the case seconds before, which made this very, very strange. He didn't react much to it, however, just snagged a towel from an nearby chair and handing out to you. "In case you're feeling a bit drafty."

@Sapphire

Cassandra

"Aya!" Cassandra returned the hug, but quickly let go when she saw the man with her, a blush in her face as she looked at him. Sparks started to pop uo all around her as she got really nervous and she started coughing into her hands in an effort to calm herself down, a weird quirk of hers. "I'm glad to see you to, It's been so long and I've been so bored. So, um, who's your friend and. . .where's Sebastian?"

Before Aya could answer, a rustling came from the tropical forest edging the beach, before a man came out, his lean, well muscled form bare for all to see. He wore a pair of green swimtrunks, and around his neck was a sharktooth necklace made from real leather and sharks teeth. His green eyes sparkled in the bright sunlight as he wabed over, a bright smile on his face.

"Cassie, sorry I'm late, got lost for a bit."

Zachery wiped the slobber from his face, gathering his thoughts about what had just happened. "Holy shit, a talking animal." he said, pushing himself up and grabbing his hat while looking on as the dog serched for something else to do. Looking closer, he wondered if he'd seen that dog somewhere befo-*#^&*&@^$*&^!*^$*&@^(%$!&%($*^%(!%$@%-he'd never met a dog so rambunctious, at least not around him. Animals always seemed afraid of him for some reason he couldn't quite place. If this one wasn't going to tuck in its tail and whimper off to the corner in his presence then he had an unprecedented opportunity.

"Hey buddy, you want something to chase?" He called to the dog, twirling the hat in his hands. He took it in one hand and gave it a throw, sending it spinning down the beach like a frisbee.

[Pirouette]

Casper

Ann immediately made chase in response to Camille's unexpected challenge. While the ambush of the challenge had given Camille a good head start, Ann was taller with longer strides and she wasn't a bad runner.

Camille caused quite a path of destruction from her sprint causing Ann to run past the individuals who had gotten the worst of it, apologizing hastily as she sped past not wanting to lose to the smallest person on the beach.

Ann had caught up quite easily and was running alongside Camille for a time. "You're are ssooo slow, Camille!" Ann jested with good intentions as she sped past Camille and prepared to make a spectacular dive for the crocodile tube. Right as she was about to leap from her feet, Jackson and his cronies had jumped on the thing and launched themselves out into the bay. The floatie was well out of reach at that point but with Ann's burst of speed, slowing down presented to be a challenge. Before she knew it, she had hit the water, taken a few strides, tripped, and tumbled into the casual wake of the crystal blue bay with a big splash.

Ann emerged from the water, still a bit dazed from such a flop. "Aww man..." She muttered under her breath as she was sure that antagonizing Camille had just seen that. She turned to face the would-be loser of their race and shrugged. "Now what?" Ann asked right as a pitcher of ice water was dumped on Camille's little head.

Honey

Honey's walk along the bottom of the bay eventually brought her to the side of the beach where all the activity was. Apparently things were really kicking off and all sorts of anarchy was happening. However a nearby bellow really drew her attention. Beach Volleyball, she loved that volleyball and thanks to a California life, she had played it often. "I'll play she called back to the man who was gathering a small crew of players."

[Letter Bee]

"All right!" Eden said eagerly, before considering his moves. Chess was also something that flash-teaching had barely taught him, so he had to be careful. However, military strategy was something he knew slightly more about. He had to be careful; the opportunity to move first encouraged recklessness; he knew that much from Chess.

With a gesture, using his own biomass-controlling powers - turning into a tree was his primary power, not his only one - he used his two moves on his land to designate two of his creatures as his 'reserves', and a third one to act as a 'bait', moving it into a position where it can believably threaten one of Jaden's castles, but at the same time making sure that any attackers would be instantly mobbed by his reserves.

Vince had seen them before they located him, they were hoping he would be out in the open but that was not the case for him. He only managed to loose these people for so long, they wore armor that made any kind of meddling on his part impossible. He buried himself in the crowds but it didn't work. They found him and tranquilized him, nothing special. He fell unconscious, cursing himself for not being able to fight anyone. He should have gone into the corporate side of the meta world.

---

The sun was bright enough to wake him, it was hot and nothing like the rays that got through the smog of LA. There were also a pair of bikini clad girls pointing and giggling, humans were pretty dumb. Running a hand through his slightly sanded hair he stretched it had been quite the nap. For some reason he felt like there was someone who he was trying to avoid but he didn't know who. He didn't know where he was or how he had got here but maybe someone on this beach would know.

He noticed a girl sitting under a palm tree, she looked vaguely familiar. He approached her as intimidatingly as he could, holding out his hand for her to shake or help herself up. He introduced himself, "My name is Vince and I couldn't help but wonder if we've met before, you look familiar." He smiled kindly at her.

Avarice

"It's fine, I think it's a bit odd too but my parents gave me that name..." She paused for a moment as if trying to remember if that was true, "Well that's what I assume happened." She sighed before realizing her bathing suit was gone. She shook her head and pushed away the towel, "I would never wear that, thank you for the offer but I have my own solution." She snapped her fingers and a black strapless dress appeared, tight and fitting.

"Who ever did this is just like you and me, I'm going to catch him and skin him alive before I throw him into the ocean." Her smile did not falter and her tone stayed the same, just another day for her. "You could help if you want but I have nothing to offer you if I do. Of course all you have better to do is sit here sipping martinis and whatnot." She was still smiling though the idea of actually doing something put some life into her. "That boy...Kuro... He'll do this again and I'd like to keep the people who actually care about this stuff from overreacting." She didn't care how convincing that sounded; this Kuro, names came back but not anything else, was dead meat. He messed with the wrong girl, the real Cer would have taken it but Avarice was not Cer and there would be hell to pay for anyone who disrespected her.

After Eli was playing his last song Eli asked a question that had been in his mind for what seemed like an age. Eli got quite for a moment.

LT, how shitty of a person am I?" Eli asked looking out from under his hat.

"Never have I ever been so scared as I do you when get silent..." With a heavy sigh Jim went on answer the question. "Eli you ain't a bad guy, truth be told your a lot better than you let people think. I've been all over the word with you, I've never seen anyone with a heart that wants so badly to do good but keeps going after the wrong. You calm the fuck down a little and you'll do fine."

Eli let out a chuckle, he knew Jim was right. He was about to respond when the screams of people could be heard in the distance. Eli jumped up and grabbed a beer when he saw the boy the drew dicks on his face. A smile that could mean trouble crossed his face. He turned back to Jim with that smile. "You remember be that guy on Germany? Kept making dick jokes all the day long?"

Jim let out a giant laugh. "Manheim? We beat the shit outta him and made him drag us all across base. That was so worth the trouble we got in." Jim kept laughing to the point of almost falling over.

Eli couldn't but laugh a long with him. "Hot damn that man was hung like horse... Get a sled we're gonna go for a ride. BARMAN, I NEED ROPE." Eli ran over to the bartender and caught a long length of rope. With that momentary pause Eli caught a quick look at a top less Cer. "Damn girl, the good lord must if made you with only one hand." Eli winked and took off to catch Kou.

There was a quite understanding of what just happened to the both of them. It wasn't the worst thing that could have ever happened and it was good for a belly giggle or two. Still vengeance must be met and met with greater force than previously seen.

"Oh come on now." Alto said under his breath. The woman that he'd run away from was running after him harder. She was flying after him now, and it made him annoyed. Suddenly, he heard someone crying out ahead of him.

Loki stabbed a post in the ground, then another one a short distance away. In the middle, he strung up a net. Lastly, he held up the ball and took a deep breath.
"BEACH VOLLEYBALL!" He yelled enthusiastically, expelling all the air in a loud burst.

A few beach-goers were drawn to him. This might be an interesting volleyball match...

@Lord Santa

"Perfect." He said, a glint in his eyes. He quickly ran through to the guy holding up the volleyball. "I need to borrow this." He said, taking the ball from his hands.

Then he turned around, pulled his arm back, and threw his weight forward as he launched the volleyball. The ball sailed through the air at an extreme speed due to the strength of his arms, if it hit the flying eye wheel, it would plummet out of the sky and plunge into the sea.

Aya's smile fell even more when Cassandra mentioned Sebastian. She was pretty sure she didn't know a Sebastian (unless you counted that blond prick in middle school who always wore too much Axe) but for whatever reason that name sent a chill through her blood. Aya opened her mouth to ask Cassandra who she was talking about when a rustling in the bushes drew her attention. Out stepped a man, well muscled and pale, smiling down at Cassandra.

Ah. This was why that name unnerved her so.

Sebastian

Aya was certain she knew him, and that he was someone to be afraid of, but she couldn't quite recall why. It seemed unimportant at the moment, anyway. She stumbled back away from him on reflex, barely managing to stay upright.

"You," she said, stunned. Her eyes darted between Sebastian and Cassandra, but pieces were missing in her mind and she couldn't quite get them all to fit together. Scrunching her eyebrows up a bit, Aya finally settled on staring at the man. "…Hi." He was certainly off-putting for whatever reason, and her hair was standing up on end, but he seemed… docile? Plus, her manners forced her to at least attempt to be civil. She looked down at Cassandra again and remembered with a start that she'd asked about Nate. Nate, who she'd left in the dust when she saw the young girl. Face warming with embarrassment, Aya looked over her shoulder to see him and waved at him to come over. Maybe having another person around would make her less nervous around Sebastian.

"This is Nate, a… friend." Could they be considered friends? They'd only really known each other for all of ten minutes. "Nate, this is Cassandra and Sebastian."

With Light leaving that made Jenni a little pissed cursing under her breath,"Fuckin bitch...how the hell do they think they are being all buddy buddy with each other and not letting me into their reindeer games..." She said to herself now sitting down in the sand."Maybe it's because your a giant bitch.." Dean interjected making Jenni even more angry gritting her teeth at everything happening to her.

"You ever think about just going over their and introduce yourself..." She nodded her head looking over to the ball that landed into the sea and got a idea,Jenni started to walk over to the sea placing the green towel on the sand diving into the water to receive the balls."Got it..now to introduce myself" She said holding the ball in one hand and turning around with the ball in her hand to the group.

Blitz

As the ball soared through the air, it suddenly disappeared from sight, only to reappear in the hands of a young man with tanned skin, mischievous steel-grey eyes(one of which covered by a fake eyepatch made of a type of one-way plastic), wearing black swimtrunks, and he had thr beachball in his hand. He was standing on the disc thing with Isabella and his smile was dazzling as he raised a free hand towards Alto, wagging his finger as he clicked his teeth.

"Come now, Alto, no need to get violent," The man said in a relaxed tone, before tossing the ball back to the volleyball players and turning to face Isabella. "If you don't want the company of such a beautiful woman, I'll gladly take your place." Without anothe word, he grabbed Isabella by the ch8n and drew her in for a quick, yet intensely passionate, kiss, before he released her and vanished in a blur of movement. He reappeared on the beach, kicking up a good deal of sand as he did so, as he waved over to Isabella, swinging her bikini top in his other hand as he calked up to her. "I hope you don't mind, but I took the opportunity of helping you get changed, but I'm afraid you'll have to take the bottom's off yourself. I'm not that crass."

"A pleasure to meet you, Nate, and would either of you be up for a game of volleyball, somebody's hosting a game further down." He smiled, though it faltered a little when he saw that Lynn seemed to be a bit distressed about something. "Hey, you okay Lynn, you look like you've seen a ghost. . . that expression holds a lot less sincerity when you're talking to people who actually can see ghosts."

Sebastian shrugged, only to almost fall on his face as Cassandra jumped on his back, riding piggy back and jabbing her heels into his sides. "Go on, my trusty steed, to the game."

"Cassie-" Sebastian began only to stop as soarks crackled of her hands.

"Does my noble steed need more forceful prodding?"

Sebastian quietly began to walk to the volleyball area, an exasperated look on his face. "I never see you doing this to Lynn."

"That's bevause she's my favorite, now move faster befirr I shock you!"

"Fine, fine, geez you're a damn slave driver."

"Unlesx you're paying me, I'll have to decline. Sitting here and sipping my drinks is wonderful relaxation that I'm long over due for. Good luck to you on your endeavor, and give the guy my condolences."

Isabella was about to conduct evasive maneuvers, if not for the fact that another hot guy intercepted the ball, allowing her enough time to get down, which in turn allowed Ian - not that she knew his name - to kiss her passionately, a passion she gave back. Of course, her cheeks turned red when it turned out that the speedster made off with her bikini top, and she huffed a little, drawing attention to her artificially-red eyes.

But when the blond came to her and finally offered her, well, you know, Isabella said, with as much poise as she can muster:

"That would be wonderful. So, should we do it here, or shall we find a bungalow somewhere?" she said, smiling, as she suddenly 'noticed' a bungalow just a few dozen meters away. "Carry me bridal-style, speedster, and once there, I will show you," she touched his cheek, "pleasures such as you've never experienced before. For I am the most beautiful woman in the world, and none can compare to me."

The Fake Ophanim rolled its eyes.

"Hello, Jenni, hi Dean!" said Constantine, who recognized the young woman from...somewhere. "Glad to see ya; wanna play some volleyball? Anyway," he gestured to the tall blonde beside him, "this is my girlfriend, Gia."

"I can introduce myself, thank you," said the woman frostily to her 'boyfriend', before smiling at the duo. "Hello! Dean and Jenni, I take it? My name is Gia, Gia Michael Taylor, and I'm happy to meet you! Not like this guy here -" she elbowed Constantine, her voice colder again, "this guys's a geek who prefers to pay for D&D instead of a date. Why I stay with him, I don't really know..."

"We are Dean and Jenni yes but only Jenni is here at the time being...good to see some people paying attention to us..." Jenni said looking at the group with some anger in her eyes,"Maybe if you were not such a bitch then people would be nice to you..." Dean said back to her making the nurse swat at Dean.

"Shut the fuck up bitch boy...Ain't my fault,Anyway yeah we would like to play a game of volleyball.." Jenni said her eyes moving over to Constantine,"Not as bad as having a pussy of a brother in your head 24 hours a day..." Jenni said talking about Dean and how he annoyed her to no end.

Isaac felt a malevolent force on the move as he walked further into the island and dodged, enough to avoid his clothes being taken away but not enough to avoid having the bikini put on him. He tore it off quickly in rage and grabbed his face, trying hard to suppress the anger. He didn't want to be here, he really wanted to be somewhere else. He could certainly kill a lot of people with the sharp end of the parasol, but his logical mind exercised restraint.

Isaac began walking deeper into the foresty part of the island. Half out of habit and half as an attempt to suppress his anger, he started breaking dead twigs off of a tree and piled them up in a pile. As his thoughts swam around (mostly of murder) and warred with other thoughts (mostly of the repercussions of mass murder), one thought sailed clear of the tangled storm.
Let's start a fire.

Pretty soon, he had a decent pile of dry sticks and leaves. He took off his glasses and the sun streamed through them, focusing on the leaves. Smoke appeared soon after, and small orange flames licked the wood. It grew quickly, burning up the pile of dead twigs. It was soon burning heartily. Isaac stood up, took his parasol and swung at the pile, flinging the burning twigs into the trees.
Good enough. He thought, walking away as the fire slowly grew.

Loki ran up to Blitz, some dude he didn't know. He needed his ball back, after all. Isabella and Alto were there, but he didn't know what Alto's deal was. What kind of person stole a ball and threw it at someone? A heartless person, surely.
"Thanks, whoever you are." Loki said, arriving in front of Blitz. "Can I have the ball back?"
