Ricki left the classroom in a daze, she was carrying all the things that belonged to her project, making her way towards the Girls Dormitory to leave the stuff in her room. She tried not to think about anything until she reached her room and ended up dropping her stuff rather absent mindedly on the bed, before leaving the dorms and heading out into the open for a bit of fresh air. Throughout her whole quiet journey, only one thing had been running through her mind, Will Torri be okay?. Ricki didn't particularly believe in questioning the authorities, to be honest, she didn't have the guts to question a teacher - not unless she believed that what they'd done was genuinely wrong, and truth be told she wasn't too sure if what Emma Frost had done had actually been wrong.
Torri wasn't ready for combat - everyone knew that, she was far too frail, and only to easy to scare. Today's events had prooved that. Violence was a weakness when it came to Torri, she couldn't stand it - not that Ricki blamed her, seeing the ex-Acolyte's past hadn't been too pleasant. I'd never thought this as a possibility... It just feels all wrong now... I feel too close to Torri, and now she belongs to a completely different Team. I won't even be in the same classes as her. I'm sure that it's whats best for Torri, Miss Frost must've thought a lot about it - and the reasons she gave were fair enough as well, but I don't know if Torri can cope! She'd become so close to me... Oh, I hope she'll be okay! Ricki sighed, before she blinked, looking around to find herself standing in the courtyard. She hadn't actually been paying much attention to where she was going, hence she was a bit surprised to find herself standing next to the Phoenix Memorial Statue.
She sat herself down on the base of the statue, crossing her legs over, interlocking her fingers and resting her arm on her thighs. To top it all off, Shimmer wasn't the only thing worrying Taffy at the moment, her friend - well, she wasn't sure if she could call her that anymore - Frostbite, was haunting her thoughts too. Taffy just couldn't understand why Lorelai was going all whorish over Rumble. The only explanation that seemed to make sense to Ricki was that Lorelai was getting all friendly with Rumble to piss Diesel off - 'get back' at him in a way - seeing from what Ricki had heard Lorelai and Haven hadn't been on good terms when Lorelai and Diesel had broken up. She really is pushing this a bit too far, I mean - she only went out with him for two days! Ricki sighed as she buried her face in her hands before looking up again.
I probably shouldn't see Torri at the moment, 'cause I won't have anything to say and it'll just make her feel unsure. - Uh, kinda weird now. I dunno what to do - didn't actually realize i spent so much time with Torri - it just kinda seems like I have all the time in the world at the moment, with nothing to do.

Before anyone knew what the hell happened, Sky burst out the mansion doors and ran right at Ricki, literally jumping on her and sending her right to the floor. "Dude! Hide me I gave Chase a wedgie and now he's out for revenge!" she cried and scrambled to hide low behind the statue. "If he comes out, tell him I went to the woods and yelled something about trees," Sky said and gave her a quick hand up before curling into a little ball to hide.
She peeked over the statue and looked back at Ricki, giving her a weird. "What crawled up your ass and bit you? You look like you just found out your being sent to an all girls boarding school," Sky said and then a look of horror crossed her own face at thought. "Dude that would blow. I mean it kinda blows that me and Chase couldn't give our grand presentation, but nothing like that. Oh well. Man class was nuts huh? It's making me rethink bugging Wolverine, cause DAMN! Right out the freaking window!" Sky exclaimed still slightly shocked. "And Rumble was laughing the entire damn time. Crazy much? It's like the Joker in Batman, but I gotta say it was kinda hot," she added with a laugh, peeking up again for any sign of Chase and then quickly hiding again.

One second, Ricki was wollowing in her thoughts, the next she was on the floor eyes wide with Decay scrambling over to hide behind the Phoenix statue. Bloody Hell! Ricki's heart beat raced faster as she took quick breaths to stop herself screaming - she tended not to scream out loud. Hardly ever. Despite all the depression that had been dwelling on her mind, Ricki just had to crack a smile at Sky's apperance - it was impossible to stay around the girl and not smile. "Class was sure something," she agreed rolling her eyes as she straightened up, combing her hands through her hair. Eurgh, its notty.
"Pssh. Rumble is a psycho." Ricki rolled her eyes yet again, before her eyes switched to a glare, "Hot?! Bloody Hell Sky, the guy's totally beserk! How can you even think about how hot he is?" Ricki's voice was only too bewildered, she blinked at Sky, but as she did so Rumble's face appeared in her mind, she blinked for a second, She's right - he is hot - please tell me I did not just think that! Ricki shook her head, as if shaking the thought out. Now that she actually thought about it, seeing she'd been spending so much time thinking about Torri, she hadn't actually ever looked at a guy and actually appraised him, or his looks.
Ricki blinked a couple more times, "I don't think he's coming this end, but stay hidden anyway." Ricki added, she stood up - moving closer towards Decay and seating herself on the base of the statue again. "Hey Sky-" An uncertain expression lit Ricki's face, "- er, since like I've come here - do you think I've been spending too much time with Torri?" she hesitated, "'Cause like, I dunno, I just feel so weird now that Torri's no longer an Acolyte. It's like she was literally the only person I hung out with when I wasn't playing Basketball with you guys."

Sky looked up at Ricki with raised eyebrows and a 'duh' look on her face. "Uh YEA! I don't know why for the life of me, that girl is freaking annoying," she said and then giggled a little remembering her first official meeting with Shimmer, or rather just plain Torri now. "She's been skipping around like she was a god damn eight year old lately, what the freak is up with that? Wasn't she dating Riker during what he calls his 'Trying to fit in for Retards and Pussies' time? Now I didn't know him then but come on how do you go from dating a hot guy like that to her yelping anytime someone sneezes? That's some serious mind freaking, did Riker mess her up that bad or something? I just think its bullshit," she said without censorship. That girl pissed her off merrily by existing, acting like a simpering pathetic five year old. Sky would watch her freak the freak out over shit that wasn't even directed to her, even go as far as to purposely do shit to bother her.
"That chick needs to grow up, and it ain't up to you to help her grow up. You freaking mother that girl, I'm surprised you don't spoon feed her food at meals. You don't even eat with us cause you don't want to leave her alone and all that shit," Sky pointed out and made a gagging face. She made a note to make out with Riker some more when that chick was around.
She relaxed against the statue and looked around again. "Gimme a heads up if someone's coming will ya? I stole Lian's cigarettes and I am so having one. Bitch stole my gummi bears so I'm taking her damn cigarettes," she said and lit one up with the zippo she usually carried right next to her brass knuckles in her pocket. "I'm freaking glad I don't have to deal with her ass anymore in contests. She belongs in Alpha Squadron. Hell I would had her switch places with Chopper, that kid is more combat oriented than she is. He's got some guts and I can't wait till he's old enough to join teams. Hopefully he'll be a Paragon," Sky said and took a drag of the cigarette, thinking fondly of the little guy that she spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking stuff with him and letting him borrow some of the movies from her and Lian's insane collection. "Does this mean you're finally get that 'mother dearest' stick outta your ass and come chill with me, Lian, Chase, Riker and Gavin?" She asked blowing out a smoke ring and giving Ricki a sidelong glance.

Ricki was expecting an honest response from Sky, but her rather outspoken attitude stunned Ricki for a moment or two. "Are you serious? Torri and Riker?" Ricki looked almost bewildered, "Freaking hell, I didn't know that!" Wonder why Torri didn't tell me... Ricki shook her head again, before looking back at Sky, who seemed only too glad that Torri was now no longer an Acolyte. Maybe, it is better for us... I mean, i'll miss her, ofcourse I will, and I still care about her - but I have to get a... life. I mean seriously, it's like I've been living in a different world all together. "Most probably," she responded in Sky's question about her chilling with them,
"Scratch that - most definitley." she grinned, but in the process she let out a bit of a cough, "Oh goodness, I'll have to get used to you guys smoking," she said waving her hand in front of her nose and mouth, This most definitley will be good, I mean - I've GOT to start hanging out with people my own age, Sky is right, I practically mothered Torri, which wasn't good for her either - i just hope she'll be able to cope okay without me... EURGH, okay, i need to stop thinking about Torri - she'll be fine - she has people to take care of her. Yeah, she'll be fine. It's a good change for her, and for me.
"Gosh this is going to sound stupid-" Ricki added, "-but what do you guys do in your free time? I mean like, seriously - I know nothing! I just spent soooo much time with Shimmer, I've practically forgotten what its like to have fun." she rolled her eyes, "You'll have to help me out a bit..." Okay, maybe a lot.

Sky looked at her mystified for a moment and then let out a guffaw of laughter. "Seriously? Oh man girl I don't know if you can handle what uh... we do in some of our free time. Hey if you're looking for a walk on the wild side, I'm down for that but you're gonna get yourself into crazy shit," she said with a slight laugh remembering just the day before. "I mean we do some nutty ass stuff. St. Patty's a bunch of us snuck out and went to the woods for a bonfire and a crazy ass night of drinking. It was fun as hell, and I was totally plastered," Sky recalled with a laugh, remembering the fun they had that night. She took another drag of the cigarette and continued. "I have a feeling that some of the teachers knew we were up to something, cause like the next day they were looking at us hungover as freak with a knowing look to them."
Leaning over, Sky flicked the ashes from the cigarette moving it lightly between her fingers. "Seriously girl, we're like the counterculture of this school. Well more so me, Lian, Chase and Riker. We do all the shit we ain't supposed to and we're smart enough to get away with it. Gavin's no square either, but he's got his limits and we really don't have any. We like to push the limits. Yesterday... damn that was fun. The four of us broke into drama class for a little fun, which only got funner if you know what I mean," she said with a wink and a saucy smirk.
"Na but other times when we all just chill without mayhem being the top thing on our mind, we just chill and do crazy shit. We been chilling outside more now cause its pretty nice weather. Can't really give you a set schedule, we're just totally chill and stuff," Sky said and put out the cigarette after blowing a series of smoke rings. "You're welcome to chill if you wanna get off the goody goody band wagon. Hell I have fun," she said with a laugh knowing that few could keep up with the four of them, but they were all for people trying.

The airport taxi cab turned the corner and pulled into the courtyard. The car comes to a stop and not a second later was the door thrown open and a tall figure got out of the car.
Slamming the door, Dante looked at the car as it turned and drove away with a stony hard expression on his face. He dropped the duffel that he had slung over his shoulder on the ground and took out his Kools from the pocket of his trusty leather jacket. Placing one in between his lips, he lit up with his zippo and took a long drag. That was when Dante looked up and finally took a good look at his prison alternative. Talk about Fancy, this place is bigger than all the projects in Hyde Park. Shit man, what did I get myself into with this place? Dante's harsh sea green eyes looked around the area cautiously and critically. It didn't fit, him there in old and worn clothing in front of the fanciest looking place he'd ever seen. It made him extremely uncomfortable, but he would never show it. He had a rep to protect.
He picked up his bag and began walking forward toward the door of the school with a confident and tough swagger to his step, his face stone cold just as if he was back home. His gaze landed on two girls in front of some weird statue. Dante kept walking forward, but then changed his course. Ain't gonna kill me to get some directions in this museum. Plus the broads ain't bad on the eyes and I don't see any fancy smancy stuff on them. He stopped in front of them and studied the two blondes carefully. "I needa find Emma Frost. Either you two broads can point me the way?" Dante asked in a hard direct voice and the same hard expression on his face. He took another drag of the cigarette and looked at them expectedly.

Not even giving Ricki a chance to answer, Sky's eyes flew right to the guy that got out of the car. "Oh my god freak me now, Ricki look at him!" she whispered to her friend biting her lip as the smirk appeared on her face as her eyes looked him up and down with great pleasure. "Oh shit and he smokes. Did I just die and go to hot bad boy heaven?" Sky said to Ricki and then stood up to lean casually against the statue as he walked over. I heard a new student was getting in the Acolytes... aw freak my life not this dude? He's too hot and bad ass for that team. I know that look he's wearing, my brother Mitch has that same look. This dude spent some hard time. God why is that such a turn on? Oh who cares, man he looks better up close, she thought biting her lip with a smile on her face when he came up.
"Whoa stud, you really wanna run off right away? Ya just got here," Sky said and winked at him playfully and leaned against the statue, shamelessly flirting as she would with any hot guy. She pushed her breasts out on proud display and grinned at him. "Emma's doing a tour for some rich folks anyways, chill with us till shes done. I'm Sky by the way, codename Decay. Now PLEASE tell me that you're the new student?" she said flirtatiously with a laugh. Sky was good at judging types of guys with her experience and growing up around only boys. This guy was cold and hard, but she doubted that he would turn down her little flirts.
Sky caught Ricki's eye and winked at her discreetly. This guy was just too yummy looking to ignore and she'll be damned if he just went on his merry way that quickly. "Tell ya what Stud, chill with us till the squares are out and I'll take ya to Emma Frost myself, no dice. Cool?" she asked taking out a cigarette herself and eying the one between his lips. "Got a light?"

Dante kept the hard look that just slightly relaxed as his gaze dropped down to what he had to admit were an impressive set for someone as skinny as this girl. "Giving a tour huh? Well that's just my luck, yea I'm the new kid," he said and flicked open his zippo and lit up, holding it so she would have to lean forward just enough for him to get an eyeful. Dante always had his guard around people and kept true to his rep, but he had no problems picking up broads if he was so inclined. Never one for a steady girl, Dante enjoyed boosting his ego how he was able to fast talk girls and pick them up.
"Name's Dante, I got the codename Glitch," he said smoothly and took a drag of his cigarette, not smiling but playing along the way to do in order to make an impression on broads. Both we're easy on the eyes and Sky here seemed like a type of girl that knew how to have fun without giving him bullshit. "So this place is the real deal then? A school of mutants," He stated plainly and blew out a crowd of smoke, looking between the two girls. "You two broads just relaxing out here? No one watching or nothing," he observed for a moment before taking another drag. Seems a lot better than chilling in jail for a couple of months.
"I'll take ya up on the tour baby, now how about I get the 411 on this place?" Dante asked in a smooth voice that he always used with broads to make them swoon enough for him to do what he wanted. He looked between both the girls, his eyes moving to the stacked Sky and even went as far as to give her a slight smirk.

Ricki shoved her hands in her back pockets as the new arrival headed their way, Damn, how can Sky just say everything out loud like that? I would never be able to do that! - I mean, it's a good thing at times, like being able to say exactly what you think... She looked at the male walking towards them, he was indeed good-looking, but the whole 'bad-ass' look wasn't something that striked Ricki's liking too much, still, she wouldn't deny that he was generally quite hot. It felt weird, how she actually seemed to pay attention to how guys looked when Torri wasn't around.
Ricki had suppress a couple of giggles that were aching to escape her at Sky's rather flirty and extrovert attitude. "Hey, I'm Ricki! Call me Taffy if you want," her natural 'pleasant and comforting' smile spread across her lips before catching Sky's eyes and shot her a quick grin in return to her wink. "Pretty much the real *cough* deal *cough* yes-" Ricki's hands were out of her pocket, waving away the smoke once again, she blinked slightly as she turned her head to catch some fresh air, before turning back and gulping.
Ricki looked over at Sky and exchanged a quick mischievous glance as Glitch asked for the '411' on the Academy. Boy, was there a lot to say on that topic. The Drama and Gossip was endless here, though well - what else did you expect at a school full of teenage mutants? "You want to do the honors Sky?" she let out a bit of a giggle as she turned slightly to look at Sky, "I hardly have first hand information - you know, 'cause of Torri. You'd be able to tell our new arrival a lot more than I can,"

Sky giggled flirtatiously now that she got an idea of what kind of girl this guy would go for. I'd say the cute tough kind. Probably a leg and boob guy, which I'm okay on since I got my baggy pants on. Oh I am so in, she thought while taking a long drag of her cigarette and blowing a perfect smoke ring right next to Dante's face. "Well Stud, ya just landed yourself in psycho school. Strap in and enjoy the ride," Sky said with a wink when she cocked her head to the side. She wasn't bugged by being called a broad, actually it just added to this guy's hotness and the her theory that she had some seriously twisted tastes.
Flicking the ash to the side, Sky gave this hot modern Greaser a coy smile before taking another drag. "It's not so bad if your into the chaos. We got fights on a pretty much daily basis, once a day at least one person cries, oh and some crazy hook ups. We got some interesting characters here." She reached a hand out and fingered the edge of the worn leather jacket he wore. It was well cared for and had a softer feel to it unlike newer jackets.
"Ya got some style there Stud. I'm really diggin' this look ya got going. Makes you look tuff," Sky said with another coy wink. "So... Glitch. What's the story behind that codename?" she asked and took another drag of her cigarette, throwing a discreet look in Ricki's direction. God he's hot, I freaking love life.

Post by Clutch on May 4, 2009 13:21:26 GMT -5
Still in her workout clothes of a sports bra and sweat pants from a round of Gymnastics; Clutch finished stretching out her back as she walked out the front door to the courtyard. She had seen that Science class had ended suddenly after some sort of mess. She had felt the ground shaking violently and had fallen from her balance beam. Her back still hurt a little bit but she decided walking it off would be the best bet, she wanted to have a look outside anyway. It seemed to be an incredibly nice day so the sun would do her some good. Kitty her told her that as well as her new diet to raise her body mass to normal she would be better going outside more instead of staying indoors and sleeping.
"Hallo Taffy, Hallo Decay. What happened in class? There was an earthquake? Everyone left early." She said in a confused voice. Now, as a more socially seen girl Ana had found that the two girls where rather funny and good company to keep. She would watch their games occasionally when they played basketball. There was always the temptation to cheat for one team or the other with her ability, although it was a rare occasion when she did. It was always fun to watch their faces when the ball refused to go into the net and simply roll around the metal edge for a few minutes.
"How did presentings go? And oh? Hallo, new person? Student yes?" She asked sweetly, waving her hand at the male standing with them. She had been talking before noticing who was actually with her friends and had only just then realized that it was someone she did not know. There was no doubt he looked a little handsome, and oh so tall. It was lovely to see so many tall men at this school. Being tall herself made it so much nicer having not to look down on everyone. "Welcome?"

Dante looked between the two of them, studying them carefully and figuring them out in his own way. He was always really careful with people, he had to be growing up where he did. People always wanted something from others, that's one lesson that Dante knew very well. He was guilty of it as well, but because he knew that he always looked for signs or clues on what others wanted from him. The girl Sky, she got it. He knew by her attitude that she honed an understanding about people and despite the fact that she was on the skinny side, Dante could tell she wasn't someone to mess with. The other skirt and the one that just came up to join them, they had a more square and proper thing to them, not the kind that he was used to or really cared to associate with. He felt like he just stepped to the ritzier area of the city, or some place in the country were they had the wholesome type. Sky though, she dug okay.
A small smirk crossed his hardened features at the smoke rings that Sky blew after he nodded in greeting to the two other girls, not up for talking much and not quite comfortable in a crowd out of his usual. Dante adapted his usual behavior he had around folks out of his norm and remained indifferent and threatening. His sea green eyes only linger on Sky for any long period of time. "Something about electrical impulses. All I know is that I make machines fry and can paralyze people with a touch. Worked for me in my neighborhood," he said and tossed his cigarette to the ground when it got down to the stub.
Dante shifted his bag and looked back at the mansion. "Alright dolly, you gonna take me to the Head boss lady or what? Might as well get my shit done so I can see what this uh, 'psycho school' is really about," he said with the same hard face on to keep up with his rep. He wasn't all talk and outlook though, he walked the walk as well as anyone and he planned to check this place out before he made any concrete mark on it.

Chase rushed out the front of the school. He'd made an error in guessing which way Sky had run off and after doubling back and checking a secon spot he finally decided to look out a window. Seeing her in the courtyard he took off running as fast as his legs would take him and only now emerged from the front doors.
"Decay, I'm so gonna purple-nurple your skinny-titty ass!" He hollered with a chuckle bubbling under the surface of his threat. "Whoa new kid huh? Hey!" he greeted as he rushed over to grab Sky around the waste and whip her around to pin her on her back and look up saying "Name's Chase dude, 'scuse me I got business here." He snorted and hocked up a big mouthfull of mucus and let it slowly drop out of his mouth heading toward Decay's face before slurping it back up. He did it again and again each time letting it get closer.
He forced the disgusting slime to one side of his mouth and said "Give?" He was so gonna win this time. Make her give up and then he'd win, this time was his time. "Or do you want the 'nurple'?"

Sky burst in giggles as he had her pinned down. "Dude! I still have my freaking cigarette you tard!" she said loudly and dropped her it on the ground when the lit stub hit her wrist. "You ass you made me burn myself! I suffered enough!" she yelled and moved her leg to kick his shin. "And I don't need nurples, they're already freaking purple cause of you," Sky added and stuck her tongue out at him, escaping from his grip when he was still feeling the effects of the sharp kick in the shin.
She inspected her wrist that had a burn from the cigarette and after awhile shrugged it off. It hurt, but thats what happens when you roughhouse and Sky was anything but a fragile frail little thing. Unlike Clutch over there, the one girl that was skinnier than Sky, though not for lack of a regular metabolism but more of being a weirdo anorexic. She rarely spoke to the girl, not understanding how someone could not love food and not trying to understand such blasphemous ideals. All she knew about the girl was that she was foreign and a New Mutant, not someone she really spoke except in passing once or twice.... or maybe just once.
"I got a burn dude, you got your payback," Sky said with a laugh and held out her wrist for proof. "So NYAH!" She stuck her tongue out and giggled. She turned to Dante and smirked at him to put her flirting right back into game play. "Chase here, he's one of them psychos walking around here, better look out for him," she said winking at Dante and reaching out to punch Chase in the arm just cause she could. "But you look like ya can take care of yourself Stud, so nothing to worry about," she said with a wink and a grin, biting her lip lightly as she looked him up and down not hiding it in the least bit.
