Lurai shrugged her shoulders, catching k'8's words quite easily. Even if she had whispered she would've heard her just fine, especially since the table wasn't that long. "Some, but not too much. It smelled like it had been sitting there for a while. It smelled like it was mixed with something else too, but I am not sure what it was. I smell it on Riker sometimes though," she answered nonchalantly, picking up her bacon with her fingers, forgetting herself and enjoyed every little bite she took as she munched it bit by bit until the strip was gone. She did find it odd to have caught the scent of blood passing by Lorelai's room, but at the time she figured it nothing more than an embarrasing and badly handled case of menstruation, but the other smell she picked out along with it made her think otherwise.
Although the mix of smells gave her an idea of what might have happened, Lurai didn't really care what it was. All she knew is she had found it a bit hard not to burst into the room, the smell of blood having given her thoughts of delicious raw meat of a carcass that she could easily find. The half-footprints on the floor made her think of home, when she had found this great rabbit she had been hunting. She had bitten it before it scampered off, and even though it was ricocheting around the forest she saw the trail it left behind by its bloody footprints on the fallen leaves, and that along with the smell of the blood as well as the fear made it so worth it when she finally caught it.
Lurai withdrew from the fond memory, shaking her head slightly as she wiped a little drool from the corner of her mouth. Almost immediately after, she grabbed a couple strips of bacon and chomped down, continuing to enjoy her breakfast.

Riker's eyes were wide and he sat back with an almost confused look on his face, contemplating last night. To be fair, he was a bit too caught up in Kat to really notice much around him, but he did remember throwing the window open because a particular scent was bothering both his and Kat's noses. "Hmm aye, there was somethin' odd 'bout the air, wasn' there love?" he said looking at Kat and rubbing his chin.
He thought back to this morning, waking with an arm slung around Kat and having to sniff the air to catch the scent of any teachers that may be nearby. The air was clear of any teachers nearby, but he smelled the distinct scent of blood and he knew where it was from as well. For women, there was a distinct difference between normal blood and menstrual blood, and Riker could always tell when they had their period. This air smelled close to that but not quite, mixed with another scent that he did not bother learning what it was, but he knew that it came from the end of the hall where all the Hellions and Corsairs had their rooms.
"Ya know... there was the smell o' blood in the hall, bloody hell." Riker rubbed his head for a minute. "Neve' thought she'd actually go through wit' it. Rumble be a piece o' work an' one ya gotta be crazy ta touch." He looked over at Kat smirked a bit. "He be the one that hot little piece frem yesterday threw through the wall," he informed with a smirk. "Bloody hell, I can't say nothin' fer sure, but that musta been a rough night."

"Papi, Ember is gone all weekend. She can't heat up the water for us, but it was OK yesterday." she smiled at him. He got all squishy brained when bacon was involved and she couldn't blame him. Last night had been a wild one. After all that had happened at school and on their 'doomed from the start double date' the two of them had gone out to the jacuzzi for some relaxation. They had watched as all the weirdo Paragons, Ricki, Gavin and Jasper had gone out into the woods past the hedge maze led by Riker. Making fun of them sneaking around like Mission Impossible and shit. She hoped Ricki got lucky, and half hoped it was with Gavin, or one of the other cool guys like Dante or Riker, but she didn't care at all, not really.
Niki was happy they were rid of Shimmer and that Ricki was able to finally be able to grow into being one of the team. Their only problem child now was Katana, and maybe if she could get her to be more like Ivy or Ricki, the loser would have a chance. As for Gavin's talk of Frostbite and the past she had with the Acolytes, Haven was having none of it. "Gavin, that frosty pimple on the ass of this team was never a friend of mine. Don't get it twisted now rock star. She hated me from jump street and doubly so after Limbo when Ian left her ass." she stopped to sop up some of her egg yolk with a piece of toast.
"She tried to blame me...you know.. in her round about way, pushing blame like she did, you remember." she said with her mouth half full. "No, she was not a friend of mine. I put up with her, yeah, but only for the team and also because Beast said it was something like a test of my character and I would have to endure it." She remembered the techniques he tried to show her to deal with the slush-twat. Right now though Niki didn't even care if Lorelai had pulled a hundred man gang bang, she just didn't matter in her world anymore, but before was a different story. The things Beast taught her got her only so far, breathing techniques and counting backward from ten, or twenty if it took that much.
It wasn't until Aideen showed her some yoga poses, and the meditation that she did, that Niki was able to get a better grasp on her own rage. It was her own quiet time and she had learned she could deal with almost anything. She had awoke to do them earlier and in the first rays of the morning had decided she could endure the blond 'dumbshell'. "So yeah, good for her." she said mockingly, turning back to Ian she said "but hey I'm up for surfing. If Heather doesn't mind, and if it's too cold I have my forcefield and don't you have a wet-suit for surfing, or is that just for showing off for me?"
Looking over to Iceman she nodded with the slightest of winks. "You know Bobby, I stopped counting for that one so long ago, but I think I might have had an epiphany. So I'm gonna try to leave the past to the past and just let the future take me with it. How's that? Zen surfer enough for you?" she batted her eyes at the teacher. It was painfully obvious the guy wished he was still a kid and she wasn't going to burst his bubble. Not today at least, he was cool and she didn't ever make that stupid joke about it being a double meaning, she meant it one way... and it had nothing to do with temperature.

"Don't remind me." Ricki said with a shudder in Sky's direction as the vague vision of Lorelai flashed in her mind. Ricki'd personally lost even the slightest bit of care that she had for Lorelai- she just couldn't see what the girl was trying to do- how bad was her rebellion gonna get? Ricki sighed, taking a sip of her coffee and shaking her head. She shut her eyes for a moment or two, allowing them to rest before she opening them again and pushing the ketchup bottle in Riker's direction. "Sorry- late reaction. I'm still sleeEE-*YAWN*-EEeepy." She put the back of her hand to her mouth and took in a deep breath.
"I - uh - sure? My legs- mhm- yes, fun indeed. Nothing better than to strip in front of a gazillion people and have them stare at your legs while you're dropping like a head-less chicken on top of a guy, knocking his beer over in process- and then apologizing like hell and downing one... or two... or huh- how many was it?- more beer bottles and getting slightly tipsy and walking in dodgy lines, having Lian get us lost, or I felt lost anyway, and then see Lorelai in her lingerie, and then falling asleep in your torn t-shirt and slightly deformed combat trousers and then waking up in the morning and still being so so sleepy. Yes, great great time."
Ricki flopped her head down on the table, taking in another deep breath. "Ignore the sarcasm of my tone. That's me being annoyed due to lack of sleep." she added in a mumble, drinking from her cup of coffee again. She sat up straight, stretching her arms before looking around the table. "Where Dante? Still sleeping?" she added, not being able to spot the new paragon. "Or is he here and I just can't see him 'cause I really am that sleepy?" she asked weakly, rubbing her eyes and burying her face in her hands.

"Oh! OH! I wanna try that toooooooooo-" Austin picked up the spoon and put it on his nose, trying to scrunch his nose up to leave the spoon in place, but it didn't really seem to work and the spoon fell on the table with a clink. "Aw man! How d'you do that?! I can't do it! I wannna knooooooooowwwwwwwww! Showwwwww meee!" Austin huffed, blowing upwards so that the hair falling on his face would fly in the air, and get out of his eyes, but instead it just dropped back in her eyes.
"Exactly! See- you understand the eem-pon-tance of it! She was trying to get all her icky cooties on me!" he turned his head to look at the table where his sister sat with her other friends and narrowed his eyes at chinadoll. He turned back around, keeping the same expression on his face. "And she's so silly! I don't know why Skylar is friends with her. She's so dumb! Her brain is like icky pink girly stuff. HuugGGGhhhhh!" Austin sniffed loudly, eating some more of his egg, before looking at the big guy who they were sitting with and then back to Chopper.
"Ooooh! Chopper! Look what I got!" he added, suddenly remembering the cool toy gun he'd got from home. He pulled it out from his pocket and showed it to Chopper under the table, holding the pistol with great importance. "And see these are the bullets-" he took out a couple of dart like objects, that tended to stick to whatever material they managed to have contact with. "If I put this in here-" he demonstrated inserting the end of the dart-bullet into the front of the gun, "-and then shoot-" he pointed the gun down at the wooden bench thing they were sitting on and shot, "-it'll stick to it!" Austin grinned at Chopper, before sliding the gun back in his pocket, a smug smile stretching wide across his lips.

Ian stopped eating his bacon and had an expressionless look on his face for a minute, not knowing what to think. Lorelai had treated him like shit in all honesty, and she didn't deserve any of his compassion. He was the one who sat her down and told her about kissing Niki, just because he wasn't going to keep secrets from her. He was also the one who said he would have been willing to work stuff out, but she turned him away. Then when he tried constantly to stay friends with her, she just shut him down and acted like everything was all his fault. Ian didn't know what else to do, he apologized, he tried to make it up to her and tried his best to be a friend, but she just turned him away at every turn. He didn't get why, they had only been going out for four days, and he was never dishonest with her.
It had upset him greatly, until there came a point a couple of days ago where he had enough with her attitude and couldn't believe that she would turn her back not just on the team, but on Aideen as well. Ian knew as well as anyone else that if Aideen hadn't been there in Limbo, Lorelai would have been dead. The only thanks she gave was standing by the one man who tormented Aideen for no reason. Ian couldn't believe it and it was the last straw. Niki would tell him constantly that she wasn't work his compassion or a second thought from him. He knew she was right, and he knew that he shouldn't give a damn, but Ian didn't have it in him not to care. From the stuff everyone was saying, and the fact that he saw some drops of blood on the floor that morning, it didn't take a genius to figure out what happened, and he didn't know how he felt about it all. Despite everything that happened he still felt bad that she would have to go through whatever a guy like Rumble had up his sleeve, no matter what the circumstances were.
Ian picked up a piece of bacon and held on to it, not putting it in his mouth. The contemplative look stayed on his face and he just sorta tapped the strip against the pile. "Man I don't even know what to say. Yea babe I know she hated ya and all but we were tight when we started out. It's just... ah I dunno kinda sad where things ended up," he said with a shrug and looked over at Iceman. He knew the guy looked out for Frostbite and the guy was no dummy either. "You alright man?"

Sean looked up from his southwestern omelet with sausages and bacon at the conversation going on at the table. He was still pretty tired from last night and he knew that right after breakfast he'd have to go to the stables and start organizing it. In truth, Sean didn't mind at all and would have even offered if it wasn't assigned as a punishment. He used to work continueously at the barns back home, and he was excited for the chance to be around horses again. He missed his home very much, calling his family once a week and keeping in close touch with his entire family, but actually working on making the stables ready for horses might make him not long for home those few times it happened so much. After two months it got better sure, but he still felt that pang sometimes.
Now though, everyone seemed to be talking about other things and he didn't think it prudent that he interfere in something that from the way everyone talked seemed personal to Lorelai. "I don't know ya'll, if its a personal thing cause it ain't from practice, maybe she's just going through some stuff. I do hope she ain't seriously hurt or anything," Sean said in a concerned voice, looking over at Kate. "Maybe you oughta check on her after breakfast. I'd come with ya, but I gotta get to the stables," he said looking out the window. Him and Lorelai never became close friends but he still cared for her, it's hard to forget about someone that you went through hell with. I may not care for her sidin' with that horrible man over someone like Aideen, but that don't mean that I want somethin' bad to happen to her, he thought while he ate his breakfast/

Katie screwed up her lips a little and said under her breath to the stuff that Perigee had said "Hrrmmff- didn't fall on my butt. Exageratin little...whatever ya call it..." She turned her eyes to her boyfriend right then. His voice snapping her out of her tiny tirade. Listening to what he said and knowing how right he was. "Yeah, you have a point Sean. It's not really any of our business. I'm sorry to gossip and stuff about her, you're right. She could need somebody or somethin, yea."
K'8 considered it for a little bit and decided she would go. "Aww, but I wanted to be with you and help if I could. At least bring you and your crew some lemonade or something." She was pretty sure that Lorelai was going to be alright, since it wasn't that much blood and Penny wouldn't have slipped if she hadn't been so scared and clinging like she had. Kate had told her how to sneek, given her a lesson on the way and she just didn't have enough practice. The key to it was pretending that you were the monster, cause they make the best sneaker arounders around, hands down.
"But, but, well O.K. I'll see what I can do Sean, but I'm not promising a miracle." She didn't really want to go, but she knew what it was like to be alone and it wasn't fun. She was thinking the girl wouldn't even open the door for her anyway so she could get on with her day. Then it occurred to her that that wasn't a way to help somebody, and if she was really going to step up to the challenge of being a better her, then she needed to stop being so selfish. "I'll just do my best and maybe I can help. Sound good?" She cocked her head to the side as she smiled at her cowboy. He was such the noble-ish chivalry type cowpoke that she had to scrunch up her nose at him and giggle.

"I'm with Ricki on this one, yo- good call!" He said past Riker to her. "I say change the subject PLEASE! That girl got what she was askin for, right? Wasn't she askin, I mean didn't she go and help him out on the football field? Shit, whatevah mon!" Chase wasn't about to have the rest of breakfast ruined by talking about the lead weight dragging his team down.
"I bet she'll be a little more humble now. I might go and give Rumble a dollar for helpin out the team, who wants to chip in, cause I don't want to waste more than a couple a nickles." He laughed as he dug in to his second plate of food. "I say good. You know guys life had been going along pretty cool for a while, but now look at us. We're stuck with the 'Ice Princess of Goodie Two Shoes Land' with her 'I don't have to listen to you, you are beneath me you pheasant' bullshit. No man I think it's pretty much Karma droppin by to put a boot in her ass for smartin off to me, but hey I could be wrong."
He just shook his head and tried not to let the rest of it bug him. "Kyle mon, didja put it together yet or do you need some blues clues bro?" He asked tugging on his hair when he said blues. "We're talkin about Frostburp and her 'gettin some' from Rumble. Whatsa matter can'tcha put two and two together." Chase looked at his room mate with some concern. The guy was not really with it lately, he would have to spend some time hanging out with him, try and figure out if her was just playin dumb, or what was wrong.

Lian inhaled sharply, trying to keep her anger down. She was too hungover; to the point where feeling Fleet touching her caused more of a headache. "Coffee," she murmured with a whine. "Must..... have.... more...." Waking up wasn't the best feeling in the world that morning. During the previous night while everyone was hooking up and doing what she couldn't, she decided to drink her sorrows and irritated nature away. Once that led to finally getting back to the mansion, it took Lian a while and several directions to finally remember the sort of path home.
"Who the freak cares about Frostbitch getting her vag popped?" she asked bitterly. Yelling wasn't a possibility as she normally would have done. But getting her surrounding friends to not provoke her stomach to vomit up the aspirin, was a good idea. She looked down at her coffee mug and moaned. She forgot that she chugged it down only seconds before and really wanted another one. "Kyle," she said while resting her head down on the table and dangling the mug in her hand. "Please?"

Heather listened intently at everything that was said. She couldn't believe it. The fact that Lorelai actually wanted to be in the same room with Rumble was scary. But seriously spending the night with him... well sort of? She sat there bug eyed, her ice blue eyes wide with worry and intrigue. Poor Lorelai, she thought. Even though they drifted apart quite quickly, Heather still cared about the ice girl. She was someone that she knew and spent quality time with. "I hope she is OK," she continued out loud. She made the decision to check up on her before the barbecue.
Heather was really looking forward to it. Putting aside the date from last night, she didn't have a problem giving Ian some waves as she promised. Ian was her friend and when it came to Haven, Heather was willing to set that aside for now. She was still proud of herself for telling the albino off and had more confidence to say anything else that was necessary. But if Haven was smart, and Heather assumed she was, she would back off today and leave her be.
She looked to Gavin to see his reaction on everything and saw that he was worried like her. It made her feel warm inside that Gavin was a caring enough person to wonder about Lorelai. Not many people were currently fond of her. And whether it was her fault or not, Heather wouldn't give up on the girl. Everyone needed friends even during their worst times. "Ana are you sure about all of this? Are you really saying that Lorelai and Rumble... did it?" The fact that Ana was a well known gossip queen, wasn't something Heather praised. However she was a nice girl and good friend. The whole school is going to know... Lorelai what did you do?

Tia'd left Veronika's room in the morning, wanting to shower in her own bathroom seeing she'd forgotten all her own bathing products in there, and she just didn't feel right using other people's bathing products. Once she'd made her way to her own bathroom and taken a shower, she could've sworn she heard Frosty sobbing in her room, but she didn't want to go randomly bombard in and check, just in case it was just her mind playing tricks on her, seeing they'd been speaking about the new paragon the night before.
Tia'd ignored the faint sobs she could keep hearing in her ears, and picked up a rubber band and placed it around her wrist before walking out of her room and heading down to the cafeteria. As she walked, she increased the speed of the wind around her to dry her wet hair, so by the time she reached the cafeteria, her hair was more-or-less dry. Her eyes immediately fell on Veronika, and then moved over to the food. She picked up some salad, two pieces of toast and some butter before moving over to sit on the table with Veronika.
"Hey," she mumbled quietly, taking her seat as she surveyed everyone's expression on the table. Tia couldn't really figure out what any of them had been talking about, all their expressions seemed to different to make any sense to her, hence she simply raised her eyebrows, and shot an inquiring look at Veronika. "What're we talking about?" she asked in sense of formality, truth be told she'd be perfectly fine if no one filled her in, because half the things that went on at this school were topics she didn't want to hear about.

Jenny's eyes widened and she pointed at Austin. "Karma! He has another dart gun!" she said with a scowl on his face. "You aren't supposed to have that on the count that you hit one at Torri! Karma! Karma look!" She pointed at Austin and stuck his tongue out at him. Jenny was quite upset that there was another icky boy on the team, as if Chopper wasn't bad enough. She was making it very clear how upset she was too. "You broked the rules!" she accused and then looked over at her beloved leader, the most innocent face she could muster. "Oh and thanks for bringing me my milk Stoney." Jenny looked over at Torri and Lily with wide eyes. "That's cause he's not a dirty trash can full of poop. Not like the other icky boys," she said solemnly, catching the look from Karma and smiling innocently. "It's true Karma, and you always said we gots to tell the truth."

"WELL Tia darling!" Kris coughed loudly, a small smirk forming on his lips as he looked at everyone at the table. "That conversation is certainly a very... interesting... one..." Kris exchanged a look with Ana, his girlish smirk deepening. Ana and him were probably the two biggest Gossip Queens in the whole school, the two of them together could never ever get bored. There was just so much happening at the school, and no sooner did one find out, did the other, and did the whole school.
"You know your little bathroom buddy? Yes yes- you know who i'm talking about. Rumor has it, she's been uh... " He exchanged another look with Ana, shooting a glance at the Acolytes on the next table over, his mind returning back to conversations from the previous night and Kevin's little theory about Tempest only being friends with Frosty because she wanted her to clean the bathroom. The slightest of giggles escaped him, before he sighed and looked up at Tia. "... let's say Rumble took her for a ride last night. I hope you understand what I'm getting at Tia darling? Y'know? They did it... it meaning Se- oh! I'm sorry! Yes, you don't want to know... Oh dear... are you going to be Okay?!" Kris's eyes widened at the expression on Tempest's face.
"Oh dear... here... have something to drink Tempest darling... Oh dear dear... I'm so sorry!" Kris exchanged another look with Ana, and then shot another apologetic look at Tempest. "Drink up!... Oh dear!!"

Shan put down her glass of orange juice and shook her head, a small amused smile playing on her lips. "Now Jenny, I also told you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," she said with a raised eyebrow at the defiant little girl. The girl was as stubborn and spirited as Chopper, and together the two were a handful. Many time, Karma had Stoney pull the two of them apart when they began fighting, holding one of them in each arm. No matter what though, she adored her children more than anything, and would do everything she could to protect them.
"Now Austin, I told you last night that you are not to have the dart gun until I feel you can be trusted with it," Shan said holding her hand out. "Come on buddy, hand it over." She winked at the little guy and wiggled the fingers of her outstretched hand until he handed the gun over. Shan smiled at him and placed the dart gun next to her plate, smiling at Austin. "Thank you Austin. Now you guys eat up, we're going shopping for the barbecue today. And we have a lot to buy." Shan said with a smile and looked over at Stoney. "Chester, could I steal you away to help me with them after breakfast? There's a bit more of us now, and I could use some help keeping track of them in the store," she said with a sweet smile to the Hellion.
He was by far her favorite from the older students and someone she could even call a great friend. Shan detested how that boy was treated by his team, and loved bringing him along and away from them. She was a little concerned that Chopper took up majority of his time, but within the last couple of months she'd seen Aideen join them as well, making Shan feel a bit better that he had someone his age. It only helped that the girl was a beauty and seemed to genuinely care for him. "So how about it- oh Torri come on now, you still have a full plate, you need your strength for today honey."
