I'm sick too can I have sympathy...failing that a cure? xD On a more positive note I'm back to being active, will try my best to get some responses out as soon as possible ^^'
So...that's what happens when I get writers block apologies >.< Hopefully there is something worth replying to in there T_T
– Crash–
Crash’s eyes widened in surprise at her ‘accusation’ “Me evil? Never” He feigned surprise though he really couldn’t control his expression as a smile turned up the corners of his mouth despite his best efforts to stop it. Having failed he gave in and let amusement swim across his features chuckling at her fake pout. He felt his cheeks tint with color as he turned back to Kathy hearing her laugh he shrugged his shoulders, a grin plastered across his face at her subtle joke, accompanied by the glimmer of excitement in his crimson eyes it was almost easy to imagine him wagging a tail at the ‘praise’.
The red head hadn’t been aware of the fact he had actually held his breath as he had reached for her hand, his own pulse hammering in his ears it was a reaction he often had when she was in close proximity with him. He allowed himself to breathe again when she didn’t pull away, a warm smile slid onto his face, though he somehow managed to keep his blush from deepening he could see Kathy’s face was practically glowing from how flustered she appeared to be.
He glanced at Alex amusement dancing across his face as the young boy pointed in the wrong direction; he chuckled at Kathy’s suggestion of going in the right direction. He withheld a joke about it feeling he didn’t know the pixie boy well enough to know he wouldn’t be offended by it even if it was harmless, besides he didn’t want to ruin the new hospitable feeling between the two of them. He watched Kathy offer her hand to Alex without reading to deeply into it, Alex was only young right? It was a normal invitation between a...’mother and child’ even if he hadn’t quite got his head around the odd relationship the pair had going on he could understand why Alex would want Kathy for a mother figure and to be fair it didn’t have anything to do with him.
He was glad for the cover of the darkness himself he felt acutely aware of Kathy’s hand tucked within his own, though he wasn’t nearly as nervous now as he had been earlier his heartbeat still hadn’t returned to normal, his only saving grace was it had lessened enough that he was no longer deafened by his own pulse. He grinned sheepishly at Kathy’s warning forgetting she probably couldn’t see it, he was beginning to wish he could mimic powers as well as shapes...being able to see in the dark right now would be incredibly useful. “I’ll take that...my feet are incredibly talented at finding every stray root or-“ As if to prove his point he grunted and jerked ever so slightly as he stubbed his toe on a rock protruding from the grounds. “-rock” He groaned, resisting the urge to hop on one leg he ignored the pain and carried on walking with a slight limp.
“So stargazing, are you a star enthusiast or is it just too good a chance to pass up?” He asked Kathy, his mouth relaxing into a smile; he could just make her out in the dim light offered up by the illuminated night sky. He was beginning to wonder why they hadn’t thought to grab torches or something. I could shift into something that can create light... He dropped his gaze down to Kathy’s and his hands still clasped together it may have been selfish but he didn’t want to break the contact between them. Besides stumbling through the dark wasn’t too bad, he lifted his eyes to rest back on her face as he awaited an answer missing the fact Alex had fallen behind.
He was momentarily distracted as the blue haired pixie reappeared next to Kathy his first feeling was guilt, he may have been a little tunnel visioned before...he switched his gaze to Alex trying to think of something to say, although it was dark between the trees his eyes had adjusted enough that he was able to take in the boys new appearance. His guilt was momentarily swept aside by unease; Alex had changed his shape to look the same age as Kathy which Crash in truth wasn’t sure about. He noticed the warm smile the pixie boy gave Kathy before he dropped his eyes to their hands catching the slight squeeze. He averted his eyes as he felt an unpleasant stab of discomfort pass through his chest bringing a tight sensation with it, he was being silly of course despite his change in shape it was still Alex...besides this was another instance that the shapeshifter believed he had no right to react to. Waiting for Kathy’s reaction to Alex’s newest shape Crash was able to maintain his smile though it wasn’t exactly visible in the dark; he had his eyes focused on the ground so as not to cause any trouble by his normal clumsy ways.
He was actually finding it a little harder than usual to think of something to say, a way to spark up conversation with the other two Where’s Carmen when you need her? I’d even take her teasing right about now It wasn’t like him to be tongue tied or quite so closed off maybe it was because he didn’t know Alex, he’d have to figure out a way to remedy that “So what are your plans for tomorrow?” He asked in a light tone directing the question at both Kathy and Alex he glanced at both of them in turn before returning his eyes to the ground preferring to remain safe. Ok that sucked, ask the boy a question about himself rather than a generalization...not his age...anything but that He didn’t want to view the pixie boy in any other light than young and innocent for now, he wasn’t even going to run the risk of that being shattered. “Alex, what do you like to do...say hobby wise?” Crash asked, searching for some common ground between them.
– Mercy –
Mercy was glad that Zivon accepted the towel she had been careful to keep her hands out of his reach not wanting a repeat of last time. She raised an eyebrow as he shook his head clearly strongly against something...she could only guess the med bay. Of course his next stuttering comment kind of confirmed that he stood up and wobbled slightly it took every ounce of her self- restraint not to reach for him to help him stay steady. Her lips curled up into a smile as she realized what he had said, unsurprisingly a lot of students had that initial reaction when the med bay was mentioned...Kiwi’s reputation was formidable and common knowledge amongst the Athalians.
She wasn’t overly convinced as he assured her he would heal but then gain she hadn’t done her research so what did she know? She ran her hand into her hair fluffing it with her fingers as she thought over what Zivon had said he clearly didn’t want to go to the med bay, she chuckled. “Hmm...Kiwi’s reputation precedes her I see. You should know I’m not nearly as scary as she is...for future reference” Mercy told him with a quick wink. “OK, I believe you. If you heal fast lets skip the med bay and head straight for the ice cream” She told him with a smile on her face.
Mercy was relieved to see Darwin’s smile return in force, it caused her own to grow as she watched him waiting for his reaction to Drow. She of course chuckled softly as he responded the way she had expected, she turned to glance at the other girl as the unicorn took a breath and smiled innocently at the blonde girl. She lifted a questioning eyebrow at Drow as she tugged on the back of her clothes seeing how nervous she looked brought a reassuring smile to her face, before the blonde girl left she quickly lifted her hand covering her mouth she whispered.
“Don’t be too nervous honey, go have a bit of fun let your hair down...and I definitely expect details tomorrow! Girl talk” Mercy was clearly trying to be encouraging hopefully it worked, she lowered her hand and waved the happy couple off a devious smile returning to her face. She noticed Drow look down at a broken phone abandoned on the floor, Mercy was sure she had seen the blonde girl carrying that phone earlier. She shrugged her shoulders before walking over to pick it up, twirling it between her fingers she walked back over to Zivon smiling at him. “I have no idea why Darwin threw skittles at you; skittles are kind of his thing. Just read the packet first...he really likes his cyanide” Mercy warned him as she looked down at the skittles packet either in Zivon’s possession or laying on the floor. “Come on then let’s go get some ice cream” She encouraged him lifting her hand in a ‘follow me’ gesture as she headed towards the lounge door. “What’s your favourite flavour?” She asked him if he followed her.

I know it's not my turn to post yet but I just wanted to keep you all in the loop ^^' I've got quite a bit on this week as a consequence my posting may take a back seat over the next few days, I may not be able to post at all until Saturday/Sunday (GMT) I'm hoping it won't cause any problems! But just in case sorry about this ^^'
Hmm, just thought I'd drop this in here, I am trying to get Athalia posts done at the moment but suffering from a little bit of writers block ^^' and had a slightly stressful change in my plans for the week RL which has thrown a spanner in the works. I should hopefully have them up by tomorrow, if not they won't be up until late Friday >.< Terribly sorry for any inconvenience caused!

Mercy was trying really hard not to follow her instincts on this, she literally wanted to scoop Zivon up to comfort him...although his nose really didn’t look good, she needed to look at that as soon as possible if it was broken there was only a few things she could do to make it better, her healing power was probably too weak to stretch as far as healing a broken nose. She watched him carefully worry clinging to her features up until he repeated the word ‘Ice cream’ in his nervous stutter, her eyebrows rose in surprise. She honestly hadn’t expected her pitiful attempt to appease him with ice cream would actually work! There was another tug on the damaged strings within her chest as he crawled toward her before looking up with her with happiness in his eyes. If it hadn’t been for his bloody disheveled appearance she would have called this ‘cute’ without a shadow of a doubt as it was she was really worried about him and wanted to get him all fixed up as soon as possible. She kept a reassuring smile on her face as she nodded at him. “Yup ice cream, they’ve got all sorts of flavors. I promise I’ll get you some after we’ve got you checked out” She told him looking around before grabbing a wad of serviettes from behind the bar along with a tea towel -she’d have to replace it before Nikola noticed- she handed both of them over to Zivon in the hopes he could use them to stem the bleeding. She heard him stutter out the word ‘daddy’ wondering whether he was requesting his father or merely remembering him...she would have to ask him once he was calmer. She turned back to Darwin ignoring the guilt that niggled at the back of her mind for turning her attention away from Zivon..
Mercy watched Darwin questioningly for a moment before she realized something seemed a little off with him...well he had just knocked himself out. She beamed at him as took it and effectively asked the blonde girl to dinner. They are kind of cute together... She thought, as she glanced over her shoulder to check on Drow. She instantly adopted a guilty expression as Drow crept out from behind her muttering meanie, it had probably been from the teasing. “I was only joking with you honey, don’t be embarrassed” She smiled at her, keeping Zivon in her sights having handed him something to stem the bleeding from his nose she felt better but she wanted to get him to the med center to get him checked out properly. She didn’t need a nurse rather supplies, she’d covered broken noses before being a med student...whenever she thought of that part of her life she felt oddly disconnected from it. Earth to Mercy! People need you on this planet~ She blinked before looking at Drow seeing her slide a notebook out of her pocket she heard the pen scribble across the page, nosily leaning forward she was able to steal a quick glance of the paper before Drow retracted the notebook a grin spread across Mercy’s face as she looked at Darwin winking at him and slyly giving him a thumbs up for encouragement.
Thinking on it she wanted to check out Darwin’s injury as well she gave Zivon a reassuring smile and held her index finger up signifying she would only be a moment. Before approaching Darwin “Your head...I should have asked sorry, here let me sort you out” She smiled at him, lifting her hand up towards his head as she moved to stand beside him, anyone else and she wouldn’t have dreamt of doing this but...it was Darwin and she was sure he wouldn’t freak out from the contact. “Need to be at your best hmm?” She murmured for his ears alone, trying not to giggle as she offered him a quick heal to alleviate any discomfort, he of course had the choice of turning it down. If he accepted it that feeling of slight pain would have left and if he didn’t Mercy nodded in acknowledgement offering a reassuring smile before moving back over to Zivon, noticing Drow had kindly offered the poor guy the end of her scarf to help out. Mercy came to stand by Zivon keeping a healthy distance between herself and the young boy just in case it upset him further.
“Right, well I should really get Zivon to the med bay we’ll come find you guys again later...have fun!” Mercy announced giving Drow and Darwin a smile each before she returned her full attention to Zivon, feeling incredibly guilty for not doing so before...he was bleeding and she had seemingly ignored this fact to play matchmaker...she would have to make this up to him big time. “Hey Zivon, shall we go get that sorted and then onto ice cream?” She asked him for th second time, almost reaching out for him again but considering how it went last time she opted against it. “Come on, I’m going to need you to get up. I promise the med office isn’t far...lean on me if you want to” She instructed him softly, deciding to let physical contact be entirely up to him, she didn’t want to move anywhere until Zivon was ready to.

Mercy glanced up at Darwin as he laughed out his new nickname for Zivon, she smiled at him. “Perhaps, but you know as well as I do it sounds much better when you say it...a unique Darwin nickname” She chuckled at him, before focusing on Zivon. She was completely taken aback as Zivon touched her and screamed hastily retracting his hand as if she had bitten him rather than offer him a hand up. She could tell he had clearly visited a bad place in his mind, again he was pulling at those damaged strings within her chest...she should have asked Maria for more information on the students, she had thought she could just do her usual meet and learn...she jumped back as Zivon ran past her disappearing behind the bar, wincing as she accidently put her weight on her bad ankle. This is going to be harder than I thought...She sighed to herself about to hobble after the boy when she noticed Darwin had beaten her to it.
As much as she liked the unicorn she wasn’t entirely convinced he was the best one to be with Zivon at this moment, it turned out she was spot on in that prediction. It was around that time things escalated quickly and Mercy went from feeling in control to being a mere witness of chaos...first Darwin was knocked back by Zivon who tried to run away from the overenthusiastic unicorn only to fall over again with a particularly painful thwack as he hit the floor, blood begun to drip onto the floor as the boy cried and wiped at his clearly broken nose. At the same the holographic girl ran towards the phone in the blondes hand and disappeared (?) in a flash of white light, that was rather disorientating...the blonde girl just continued to run towards the bar. And as Mercy was stood very close to the bar she saw Darwin fall back and smack his head off of the side, she had barely gasped let alone moved before the blonde girl was heading straight for the unconscious unicorn.
Only to trip and fall on him, seriously this floor was turning into a death trap that was 3 falls in a short space of time! Oh...she wasn’t sure whether to feel embarrassed or not for the blonde girl seeing how she had landed in a rather awkward position with her lips pressed against Darwin’s. Well that escalated quickly... Was about the only thought she could think of after watching the chaos before her. At least the blondes kiss seemed to bring the unicorn too though now the pair of them looked incredibly embarrassed...but rather cute together. Mercy looked away from Darwin and Drow? Was that what the unicorn had called her. She had barely walked around the bar keeping a healthy distance between herself and Zivon. “Zivon? Honey look at me. We need to get you cleaned up ok? We need to get your nose fixed up” Mercy spoke to Zivon, careful not to impose on his personal space or appear to threatening she did keep her calm low and melodic but loud enough to be heard. “Will you come with me?” She asked, trying to think of something appealing to offer him if he did...fixing a broken nose didn’t exactly sound like a lot of fun. “I’ll take you to the best ice cream place this side of Destiny Island afterwards” She offered unsure whether this would work, she knew she had said she would go with the others but she had a cunning plan.
She turned to watch Drow run towards her clearly flustered from her personal experience with Darwin. She chuckled as the blonde girl shot round to hide behind her even going as far as burying her face in the back of Mercy’s top. “Aww come on Drow it can’t have been that bad?” She lightly teased the girl, looking back at Darwin with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Although he definitely should have bought you dinner first...ooo here’s an idea why don’t you do it now?” She mused, snapping her fingers as the ‘thought’ hit her. “I’m sure it’d be fuuuunnn” She sang with a devious grin on her face looking at Darwin before glancing at the girl hiding behind her.

She chuckled as the blonde girl shot round to hide behind her even going as far as burying her face in the back of Mercy’s top. “Aww come on Drow it can’t have been that bad?” She lightly teased the girl, looking back at Darwin with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Although he definitely should have bought you dinner first...ooo here’s an idea why don’t you do it now?” She mused, snapping her fingers as the ‘thought’ hit her. “I’m sure it’d be fuuuunnn” She sang with a devious grin on her face looking at Darwin before glancing at the girl hiding behind her.
– Mercy –
Mercy had only known Chris a very short while but she hadn’t thought her the type to appear shy, therefore the shy smile threw her a bit. Any smile was welcome however and despite trying to give her cheeks a break she ended up offering another warm smile in response to it. She did notice the other woman’s sly move to cover her face, but deliberately looked away for a short moment to give her a chance to right herself. She felt another small bout of laughter pass her lips at the comment on ‘hay hair’, it was probably the mental image of a few choice people rolling around the chicken coop. The scary twin from the attic was one of them. “I wonder how well that will catch on? I’d definitely be inclined to follow it if the barn was also an outlet” She joked, rather enjoying how relaxed she was around Chris. This place in general was making her feel less caged; she hadn’t realized how tired she was of running.
She was secretly rather pleased when Chris accepted her invitation and joined her for the walk. She raised her eyebrow at the tease glancing at Chris she caught her smirking to herself, it caused her cheeks to tint with that tell tale pink blush yet again. She was pretty sure she hadn’t blushed this much in her entire life, it reinforced the idea she had lost her touch in social situations. You didn’t blush this much when talking to Olivia... What an unwelcome thought that was, so as not to cause herself any further embarrassment she mentally stamped on the thought and kicked it to the back of her mind.
In truth she felt guilty for not having a better explanation for the necklace, yet again it was a nervous habit that had brought it to attention in first place, she had turned her gaze forward as they walked “I know I fully intend to repay you somehow” She assured her, she was clearly being sincere about it her smile hadn’t left her lips. Her gaze was drawn back to Chris as she tapped the logo on her shirt, her head tilting to the side as she looked over the logo before lifting her gaze to Chris’s face. “Wow, always admired what you guys do, every day hero hmm” Mercy praised her earnestly, she couldn’t imagine it being an easy job and she unlike the masses was far more impressed with the selfless people in the services. She reached up for her necklace again unable to rub her wrist while holding the basket in her hands. “Nothing nearly as impressive I’m afraid...Student by day Waitress by night and any other spare time I had” She mumbled with a small shrug, again unable to deliver a particularly interesting story. “So Firefighter, how did you get into that?” She asked in the spirit of keeping the conversation going...and perhaps her own interest in knowing more about the other woman, she figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask. If Chris didn’t want to talk about it Mercy got the feeling she’d soon tell her so anyway.
– Tamashii –
Tamashii heard what Dog had said it caused her to raise an eyebrow at him, before she could comment Olivia put forward a far more polite response than that of which the brunette had come up with. She barely trusted Dog let alone even thinking of leaving Cat to do the watching on his own, she did like the idea of two people being on watch Not that you really put a lot of thought behind it Her ears did prick at the mention of a map being in the attic, that would be invaluable if she could get a hold of it. “Really? Do you think you could hunt it out and bring it down here?” Tamashii asked Dog, her brow creasing into a frown as a thoughtful expression dominated her face.
She glanced at Remy not really hiding her look of distaste at his suggestion, call her bull headed but she had no intention of asking Lloyd for permission every time they had to do something. She’d barely seen the guy the last couple of days so she hadn’t really been able to form an opinion of him, at this moment he was the idiot that had got himself trapped in a cabinet and her equally idiotic companion had risked her life to save him. She was so busy immersing herself in her own thoughts she missed what Remy had to add to the plan, she knew he’d said something...to be fair Remy was probably far more suited to organizing this kind of thing, she just got that impression from him. She blinked twice when she realized she’d been staring at him whilst he spoke, her frown deepened for a moment before she simply shifted her gaze from him thinking little of it.
“I’m in agreement, that can’t happen again” She offered in support of Remy although his deliverance may have been harsh but she was in complete agreement with him, she may not have been so open about that fact if a certain blonde was there. Thank goodness... It hadn’t crossed her mind at all how this may affect Dog. Her gaze slid to Lloyd as he trudged into the kitchen, her sharp eyes watched him noticing straight away that he didn’t look right. Her eyes narrowed at the black haired male as he sat down at the table only picking at his food, not to mention the bead of sweat that ran down his forehead. “You don’t look so good...” She told Lloyd, studying him with a suspicious eye. Illness wasn’t something to be taken lightly anymore. Hearing Blue ask after his well being Tamashii felt the need to add “Anything you want to tell us?” Raising her eyebrow at him questioningly, however her attention did drift back to Blue as she willingly offered to take a shift of night time watching with Cat, she wasn’t about to talk the woman out of it each to their own. “If you want to, a schedule would be useful if somebody wouldn’t mind sorting that out” Tamashii decided to say in response to Kaylah.
“Entrances in the house or on the farm in general...the fence isn’t particularly high and there is a place to get out large enough for a vehicle. That’s what we need to check no idea what the fuel reserves are like unless you can answer that one Lloyd? I still think we’ll need to do a supply run soon for fuel etc.” Tamashii reached up and rubbed the back of her neck, she knew all of these things were necessary and were needed to ensure their survival but she was becoming increasingly uncomfortable around so many people, she was watching every one of them carefully monitoring their every move whilst staying aware of her nearest exit. She stood up having finished her food, picking up her plate she glanced at Remy’s if he was finished she wordlessly alleviated him of his empty plate and cutlery to take them over to the sink if he wasn’t she left him to finish up and took only her own dirty dishes to the sink. Washing up...eurgh Mercy can do it She momentarily had a sense of déjà vu, she was the worst culprit for abandoning dirty dishes in the sink and then blagging her way out of washing them up later. “Bagsy not it” She said quietly stacking the dish(es) by the sink, before moving back over to her seat, she leant on the back of the chair clearly waiting for Remy before she made a move.
