"Aw man, if you do I need to be there. There are way to many near death experiences around here. I think we're at what five for this week?" Bobby said flopping down on the beanbag. "I'm all for a good prank... buuut in case it goes violent, I oughta be there." He winked at Lorelai, knowing that she knew just as well as he did that near death experiences at the school were pretty much a ritual.
"Don't worry though, I'll protect yah," he puffed his chest out again and even flexed with a silly face on. "I'm the big protector you know, just like Bumblebee in Transformers. Maybe I'll ask TuneUP to make me an Autobot..." Bobby looked lost in thought for a moment and then shook himself out of it. "I should let you know though, I am the Prankster King of this school. Some of the pranks I pulled were legendary." He started laughing recalling some of his best work.
"After I got my ice powers in like mastery control, I would make thin ultra slippery layers of ice on any wooden or tile surface. First person to slip on it was Cyclops, and he just went WHOOOSH," Bobby made the motion with his hand imitating the motion that Cyclops made. "He went flying in the air, landed on his butt and slid right into Angel and knocked him over like a bowling pin. Oh man, it was simple, but classic." He nodded his head in satisfaction at the memory. "Of course that was the same day I learned that there is no way to outrun those two if one can blast your ice slides and the other can fly really fast," he added with a shudder.
"OH and this one is classic. So when Wolverine first got here years ago he was like a major grump, so we were all chilling by the pool one day and I kept freezing his beers to be solid ice inside and explode every time he brought it to his lips. It didn't take him long to figure out what I was doing, but it was hilarious to see the look on his face. And so worth him nearly throttling me." This time Bobby was full on laughing at the memory. "And this was when I had a good control on my stuff. As a kid I did all the classics: mix the sugar and salt, kick me signs, super-glued the chalk to the teacher's hand, you name it."
Bobby put his arms behind his head with a big smile on his face. "But yea, I'm always up for a good prank." He normally may have had some hesitance with a prank when it came to Haven or Clutch, but he was upset with both of them. He didn't tolerate any sort of bullying, and that whole thing from earlier made him drastically change his opinion on some of his favorite students. He wasn't going to dwell on it, he'd seen people's true colors before, but nonetheless it hurt him that it happened.

Lorelai had laughed at the stories Bobby told, but it had faded slightly as the reminiscing died down. "Funny, yeah, but worth it? Depends on who it is and what they're gonna do back," she said, her smile fading somewhat as she thought of how much of complete assholes people could be. The seeming concern Liv had after seeing her face sounded nice as did the offer to get the people back, but she had a feeling it wouldn't have been worth it, even though it would probably be fun to indulge in the idea of it. "But then again, Bumblebee here is a good ref, so maybe the idea won't be totally dashed," she said with a laugh as she tried to discreetly tuck her chin into her hoodie so that her hood might shadow some of her face since she was again reminded of how she had forgotten it looked.
"How many people have you met and how many of them are you willing to prank?" Lorelai asked, smirking slightly as she still looked at Liv, half serious, half sarcastic. She could only guess that she met the rest of the school already, since everyone who came in always was introduced to the school before settling. It didn't seem as if her lovely story had reached Liv yet, so she wasn't warped to what kind of person Lorelai could be percieved as. "That is to say, how well can you fight? Some people aren't very good with jokes, so if you wanna get them back, mum is the word...way to do it, however which way you wanna think it," she said, indulging the idea. Lorelai herself hadn't pulled any pranks on anyone, she didn't care to and anything she had done in the past few days were all done of her own accord for her own reasons. However, the idea of seeing someone else take the people she hated down gave her a somewhat ticklish feeling inside. They weren't the people she was going to make it up to, so it worked, sort of.
"Maybe we could all be in on it yeah? You're obviously great at them," she said as she smirked at Bobby before looking at Liv, "And you seem to be good at them too, and with my.....I guess I can say.....incentive, it oughta be something fun," she said, feeling like she shouldn't indulge the idea. She couldn't afford to do it, really; she couldn't really afford to do anything considering her current position. She'd left herself with only a few friends and a large group pretty much hating her, and any sort of redemption wouldn't call for such a thing as pranking, but the vengeful feeling in her wanted to see if it could seriously happen.

Liv rubbed her hands together, partially for warmth and partially because she liked what she was hearing. Here was a teacher encouraging her to be tricksy. Most excellent. "Well King," she said, smirking at Iceman, "prepare to be dethroned." Liv didn't normally brag, but she was unrivaled when it came to causing mischief and minor misery. Liv opened her duffel bag and dumped its contents on her bed before she looked up at Lorelai seriously. "A good prank is always worth it. And if you do it right there is no retaliation. When I was eight my sister put a snake in my bed..." Liv grinned mischievously. "I put Nair in her shampoo. Nothing says uncontested champion like a bald big sister." Staring down at her scattered belongings, Liv took her two pairs of jeans and stuck them in the closet. "I've met a fair few so far... Gavin, Maddy, Kyle, Veronika..." she paused. "Crap um...nervous guy, short blonde dude, grumpy German... erm...wolfy girl...Tia!" she snapped her fingers, remembering one of the names. "And I don't know what fighting has to do with it. Unless people here really can't take a joke. But I'm not much of a fighter." She grinned at Bobby. "Totally a lover." "Besides," she added, putting her handful of shirts into the dresser, "lately I've been very good at not getting caught. It's amazing what you can get away with when you have an army of animals willing to play along. Especially squirrels. They have great senses of humor." Liv grinned broadly at the pile on her bed as she dropped the legs and tightened the grips on her electric drum kit. It was only about two feet wide, all black pads...honestly it looked like the set from Rock Band, but the smooth black plastic that Liv had packed into her duffel was the real deal... her baby. She slid the kit down to the foot of her bed and plugged it in. She smacked the snare experimentally and switched off the power, grinning. The room had good acoustics. She'd be able to kick up one hell of a racket, even at half volume. "So, the teachers are hot, the students are super powered, and the rec room has a Wii..." Liv smirked at Bobby and Lorelai in turn. "Is this place Heaven or what?"

"Kinda sorta," Lorelai said with a laugh. "It's all shiny and great at first until you see what people are like, well, once they're really like. Most of the ones you mentioned are pretty cool though," she said, thinking of her former teammate Gavin, and a couple of the New Mutants who she hadn't wronged or wronged her. She could figure out a couple of the others she hadn't a name for as well as Tia and felt a twinge of anger at the mention of them. It wasn't like that with them anymore. "We got some pretty awesome stuff around this place, swimming pool and lake and tennis courts....You name it, we probably have it. People around here have lots of interest," she said, with a breath of a huff as her mind wandered slightly.
"It'll probably be crazy for the first couple days but you'll probably fit in fine soon enough. You haven't pissed anyone off yet have you?" she asked, half sarcastic with a smirk to match, although she half meant it too. "Nah, probably not right? Never mind that, then," she said with a shake of her head and a wave of her hand. Liv didn't need to be dragged into Lorelai's generally shitty mood of the day, nor did she need to have her perception of other people warped by what Lorelai had to say. "So, pranks, who would you wanna prank? I mean I sorta have my list, but anyone you wanna get after just meeting people? I'm all ears and I'll give some sorta idea for pranks," she said with a shrug, but smirking somewhat mischievously, choosing to indulge the idea of pranking people who didn't deserve apologies.

Liv smirked and continued to sort through the mess of wires, books, and equipment on her bed. As full as her bag had been, she'd hardly packed any clothes. Hell, all she did was wear clothes. Nah, she saved space in her bag for the important stuff. "Sweetie, you don't plan pranks. They just sort of happen. And then you laugh and laugh and laugh."
With a grumpy huff, Liv piled up her worn books and stacked them on her desk. She'd only brought the essentials. The Giver, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Call of the Wild, among others. The last was a favorite of hers and Liv was careful to stand them up, just so. "Besides, I like to get the lay of the land a bit. Figure out who deserves to wake up without eyebrows and who's best left alone. Can't out run them all, ya know?" Her eyes twinkled gleefully.
She considered Lorelai's question carefully. Had she pissed anyone off? Well, Lurai hadn't been super excited when Liv had stopped her fit of Chronic Rhythm disorder... and those two guys... what the hell were their names... they had practically fled when she'd introduced herself... and she had come awful close to sticking a drumstick up Kyle's nose...
"Nah, haven't pissed anyone off yet, but I haven't really been here long. I don't really care if I do, anyhow." Liv looked up at Lorelai... she'd obviously pissed someone off. Liv wanted to feel bad for her roommate, but pity was almost always unappreciated so she shrugged. "If someone wants to take a swing at me, they're welcome to. Like I said, I'm not a fighter. But you can bet your ass they're waking up the next morning with a dick drawn on their face in permanent marker and all their clothes missing." She snorted.
People didn't f**k with Liv Cooper twice.
Looking up at her roommate, Liv checked to make sure her drumsticks were still in her pocket. "You can't always win, Lore, but you can almost always get even." She smirked and glanced at her teacher. Her pretty, pretty teacher. "Our little secret." She winked, her wicked smile not faltering once.
Liv sorted through the mess and pulled out her practice pad and a set of fresh sticks, still in the cardboard. "As much as I'd love to hang around, I'm going to poke around outside for a little." She grinned, her tawny eyes sparking with devious intent. "We'll bond later, Lore. If I don't get hypothermia, I think I'm going to like livin' with you." She headed toward the door. "Unless you snore. If you snore, you will wake up in the hall." Liv smirked. "Nice to meet you, your Majesty." She gave a mock curtsy to Bobby and flipped her ponytail over her shoulder.
"Hey, which room is Lurai's?"
