Uhm... please don't hurt me... I have updated...
The Situation so Far: Mac and Brodi have hooked up, but have decided to keep their relationship secret for a little while yet.
Psymon and Eddie have hooked up as well... but their relationship isn't secret primarily because they can't be quiet.
Everyone's gathered for dinner at the lodge... what chaos shall ensue?
Rating: I think R... it's been awhile though, I don't remember.
The group sat quietly at dinner. Rhazel had shown up briefly to inform them that he would be unable to join them, but they might as well as stay and eat anyways, the lodge cooks had made a feast. Really, all that he had needed to say was 'feast' and they wouldn't have budged even under threat of death. So now, the group was chowing down, and actually getting along fairly well for once.
"Hey Seeiah, pass me the mustard would ya?" Psymon sputtered through a mouth-full of food. Instead of calling him names or snarling at him for being rude though, Seeiah just laughed and handed him the mustard.
"Hey! You know what we should all go do together after dinner?" Marisol burst excitedly. All eyes turned to Marisol, curious. Usually, she wasn't one to suggest group activities, or even go along with them.
"What is that Mari?" Seeiah asked finally, after a long moment of silence. Marisol's grinned widened.
"Let's all go clubbing!" There was a pause, and looks were exchanged.
"Uh… Mari, not all of us are legal, remember?" Kaori said, her English having much improved over the years.
"Yeah… including you Mari," Seeiah said pointedly. Marisol rolled her eyes and propped her chin on her palm, while she balanced her elbow right on the edge of the table.
"Well then… let's make our own club!" Another moment's hesitation.
"Like… right here? In the lodge?" Psymon said slowly, glancing at Eddie out of the corner of his eyes.
"Yeah! We can send the elders to get the drinks, while the rest of us will be here and decorate and set up! I have all sorts of dance lights and what not in my trailer! Plus, everybody can call any buddies they want to join us!" Marisol was into it now, and it was obvious she was pulling most of the others along with her.
"I don't know…" Brodi said hesitantly, frowning pointedly at Mac, Kaori, and Marisol.
"Aw, c'mon old man! Lighten up! Let the kids live a little! At least this way they'll be under your watchful eye, right?" Brodi continued to frown though.
"Don't worry Brod, I won't be drinking," Mac said assuredly. He'd never liked alcohol much anyways, reminded him too much of his younger days with his father. This eased Brodi's concern slightly, but that still left an underage Kaori and Marisol. Kaori smiled broadly at him, making sure to show all of her teeth.
"No worries Brodi-san! Kaori doesn't like alcohol!" This left all eyes focused on Marisol, who 'hmphed' and pouted considerably for a long moment, before finally sighing and burying her face in her hands.
"All right, all right, I won't drink either…" Now everyone was all broad grins.
"I'll get the beer!" Psymon roared, pumping a fist in the air. Immediately everyone turned to look at Eddie, who smiled nervously.
"Uhm… I'll go with him?" he asked. They nodded.
"How about I go along and make sure we actually get our beer?" Luther grunted. Psymon sneered a little.
"What? You wanna get an early dive at them?"
"Nah, was jus' trying to make sure that you didn't stop to boff the poor boy on the way there," Luther replied coolly. This set the whole group to laughing, and the three were promptly shooed out the door.
"That leaves the decorating to us!" Marisol said cheerily, back into party mode. "Anyone got anything they think will help set this place up?"
"Well… I've got a couple of fog machines I got from my last DJ gig…" Mac said hesitantly. Marisol grinned broadly at him.
"Sweet! Won't you please go get them? Brodi can go with and help you carry!" Mac nodded and left obediently, Brodi immediately behind him. Marisol immediately wheeled on the remaining eight boarders.
"The rest of you got anything?"
"Kaori has a large collection of black lights!" Kaori chirruped happily. Marisol nodded and Kaori bounded off to get them. Seeiah just stared at Marisol, and Marisol rolled her eyes.
"You go get the stuff that I've got and start dragging it this way See, I'll be there in a sec."
"I'll help," Elise volunteered, "I don't have anything of party interest anyways." Marisol nodded approvingly and the two girls disappeared.
"I've got a few bottles of wine in my trailer that are of excellent quality, for after people get tired of beer," JP informed her. Marisol grinned broadly at him.
"Well then what are you waiting for man! Go get them!" JP chuckled and bowed low before going to do as was requested. This left only Zoë and Moby, who were exchanging nervous looks. Marisol studied them for a long moment before grinning broadly.
"I know! Do you guys have any thick black fabric or coloured light bulbs?" The two exchanged looks again, before they nodded.
"Yeah, actually, I collect coloured light bulbs," Zoë said, nodding.
"And I've got lots of black sheets…" Moby said.
"Wonderful!" Marisol chirruped. "We can use the light bulbs to create different atmospheres and the sheets can cover up the windows so the lights are in full-effect!" Convinced, Moby and Zoë went to go and get their things. This left Marisol alone. She glanced over her shoulder, making sure that everyone was all gone before her face lit up into a rather sinister grin.
"This is going to be even easier then I thought…" she muttered, once she'd finish her laugh. Running a hand through her hair, she smiled and went quickly to help with collecting her party things, leaving a slightly more ominous atmosphere in the previously excited lounge…
Bwa-ha-ha! Look! A plot is forming! Isn't it marvelous! Don't get too excited yet though, we're no where near done yet! more evil cackling Oh, by the way… sorry if there's any heinous spelling or grammar errors… I just finished this and it is one in the morning… Forgive me and just make mention of it… I'll fix it ASAP.
As always R&R, it encourages me to write stuff.
