Chase let his eyes look the new guy up and down too, with quite a bit of discretion. He laughed off Sky's kick and her punch as he lay on the ground looking up at her trying to act all flirtatious. He chuckled a bit at the ploy and the come hither crap she was tossing out, he wasn't jealous for it, he just thought it was cute and funny all at once.
He held out his hand to the guy as he got up. "What's your name sunshine?" He decided to make light of the kid's total stone face and rough 'bad boy' attitude. "Since our girl Skyler here is just so good at introductions. But really who can blame her, she was raised by hippies after all." He looked over at her shrugging"What? I thought you said they were hippies? Who names a girl 'Skyler', I mean really?"
Ignoring the other two girls there since he had always associated Taffy with her squirrelly timid little team mate Shimmer, and Clutch was never around enough to make friends with anyone so she didn't even make a blip on the social radar. "So, where you from 'Stud'?" He mocked Sky's use of the pet name as he leaned a forearm on Decay's shoulder and grinned at the follicularly challenged fella. Being as his mouth was close enough to Sky's ear to whisper discreetly he did sorta, but not softly enough as he apologized "Hey, bout your nurps? Uh - sorry, but you know it was way fun." He winked at her.

Ricki had to admit - she was feeling a bit out of place in all that was occurring at the moment. She didn't really know Clutch too well, despite the fact that she'd spoken to her a couple of times, but mostly it was just the usual 'hello-goodbye' sorta thing, and with FreezeFrame - she never really spoke much to the guy - actually now that she thought about it, she'd never had a proper conversation with the guy - and seeing Chase had totally ignored her, she couldn't help but feel slightly offended.
Am I really that invisible? I mean, Clutch is just anti-social, no offense meant, but seriously, I never thought i'd ever feel this awkward. Now that I think about it, even with the Acolytes - I've never really got much attention off anyone, I sometimes speak to Gavin, but I've practically never spoken to Ian - even though I had my reasons back then, but still! Oh my god... I really WAS antisocial wasn't i? Sky really wasn't exaggerating or anything... Actually thinking about how people reacted to her made her realize that she was more or less, acting like Torri's full time baby-sitter. No one really saw her as an individual person, when they saw her, they probably saw Torri's Surrogate Mom rather than Ricki Day.
Bloody Hell was that enough to have her feeling stupid. Things couldn't go on like this, or she'd probably end up like Katana soon enough, and even though Ricki had nothing against the individual, becoming an invisible outcast who no one really liked wasn't on the top of Ricki's list. She snapped out of her thoughts as she looked around, Chase and Sky were just messing about, being themselves and having fun, and Clutch like Taffy was just standing to one side, feeling out of place. Hell, this wasn't going to go on. She had to snap out of it.
Her eyes scanned Chase for a moment, "Hey, you look good today Chase," she commented, her words sort of surprised her, I think that's the first time I've EVER complemented how a guy looks... though damn, it was the truth - he does look good today. I like his hair... 'tis cool. She switched her glance over to Dante, even though the whole bad-boy look didn't appeal to her too much, there wasn't any denying that the guy was quite hot. "Emma probably will be back soon," she said in a late response to his previous question, raising her voice slightly as she spoke this time - it actually felt good speaking in a normal tone and not a hushed comforting whisper, "Want me to take you to her office now? We can wait outside until she gets there or something and then Sky can take over for the tour -" Ricki's usual smile flickered on her face, though she altered it a bit this time, to make it look more cute rather than caring - after all, she was speaking to someone her own age, not Torri.

Looking between the two without much to say at all, Dante threw his cigarette on the ground and put it out with his foot before shaking Chase's hand purely for the reasons that he got an okay feel from him. Chase and Sky seemed along the same lines and he was cool with that, particularly that it calmed his fear that he didn't just wind up in some pompous school full of rich kids. "Dante," he answered coolly with a nod. "Came down from Chicago." Dante didn't offer that he just had his ass bailed out of jail by the Emma lady, that was something none of them needed to know.
The way that Sky and Chase handled themselves had him conclude that they had a very odd relationship. At first he thought that they were together and Sky's flirting meant she had no issue two timing him, but he didn't seem to give a rat's ass that she was flirting or anything. Most likely just friends with benefits, which in an odd way gained them a bit of respect from him. Dante always saw relationships as a burden, taking too much energy and grief to take on. Anyone who understood that was alright in his eyes and from Chase's not so subtle comment it looked like the two had a good time.
The other girl, Ricki, still looked like a major square next to the two but he always thought of himself to give credit where it was due. It looked like it took her a bit more courage to talk to him just like that and hey, it wasn't too bad. "In a bit, rather wait outside than in, you dig dolly?" he said with a slight smirk that went away the next second. Though these guys seemed alright, he wasn't looking forward to finding out what the others were like.

Sky quirked an eyebrow at Chase and grinned at him. "Yea it was fun, and I left my own marks anyways," she said and lightly touched the massive hickey on his neck that barely faded. The other marks she left on him were well hidden under his clothes, but Sky knew where to poke to remind him. Her finger snaked out and poked him right on his hip discreetly where a very tender and very purple bite mark that she left yesterday.
"No way, Chicago? My brother lives there out in Chatham. I heard there are some major partying there. Too bad I never took him up on the offer to visit," she said with a playful wink and looking him over again. She loved his hairstyle, it looked... well hot. His hair looked soft and almost like a sexy signature mark for it to be in a mohawk style without the stiff sticky gel. Sky had never seen it before, but he wore it well and it gave her some delicious looking eye candy. I love mutants, they're so damn hot, she thought and went back to her little flirting game with the new guy.
"I think you waited long enough Stud. Ricki, me, and I'm sure Chase would be happy to show you around," Sky said and started carefully walking toward the school backwards, feeling around to make sure she didn't trip. "We know all the good spots, but first we'll find Ms. Frost. Try and keep your mouth from dropping when you see her," she said with a knowing wink. She always giggled at the way guys reacted to Emma Frost. Sky would so wear her stuff if she could fill it out even half as good as the Headmistress did. She could only pull off the shirt, but everything else she could only wish.

"Ground are pretty sweet," Gavin said as he opened the doors to step into the courtyard. "Our backyard is pretty much this huge forest. We got a lake and a pool and basketball courts and stuff too. It's pretty sweet- oh hey guys!" He brought Kat over to where the group was and smiled at them, his eyes moving to the new guy. The guy looked like he belonged in a prison yard or something, and frankly gave Gavin a bad feeling. His home had there share of hoods, but this guy looked tougher and harder than any of them.
Still, Gavin wasn't going to be a an ass and judge by first glance. He nodded at the guy and smiled. "Sweet you the new guy I'm guessing? Name's Gavin," he greeted and then looked to Chase and Sky. "Hey guys, Kat's one of you I found out. You got another girl to add to the Paragons. Chase man, looks like you're still the only guy," Gavin joked, though he didn't usually pick on people, Kris was too... well flamboyant to be considered a real guy.
He shifted his guitar on his shoulder and smiled at Ricki and Clutch. "Ricki wow, where is your little shadow at?" he said with a slight laugh and looked around for Torri. "This is the first I seen you without her outside of class in awhile."

Seeing Gavin strolling up with the newest Paragon Chase nodded in his direction. The thing that had him thinking though was Ricki and her brave little stab at an almost flirty hello. "Heh, yea. He is a bit of a chick, kinda makes me miss old Jumper." he said catching the joke about Kris. He did miss Kyle though there was something about that guy.
Turning to Ricki he winked and then leaned over asking Sky out of the corner of his mouth "What's with her." He wanted to keep his distance if the girl wasn't cool. He didn't need another straight edged friend. Then he thought about it and realized he didn't have any like that so maybe there would be room for her. Besides it might be fun to try and corrupt her with drink and drugs and gambling. He would have to see how willing she would be to 'stretch' her limits.
Seeing Kat looking drunk he just had to ask "So, what's your poison boozy-girl?" He smiled at her and watched her stagger up along with Gavin to join the circle. He noticed Clutch still reserved and standing back from them all. He looked at her and said "Clutch? Are you in there?" Waving a hand in front of her face he turned back to Dante and shrugged at how spaced out the girl was. "Must be malnutrition. She's still full from breakfast, she ate a tic-tac. Yeah, don't ask."

Kat stepped outside with Gavin and actually gave the grounds a good look around while he told her about the things she couldn't see. "Wonderful..." she almost sang when she heard all the different places there were to go before seeing a group of people already hanging around. She walked with Gavin to them and glanced over them all, Sky and Chase her teammates, the Ricki girl, and a boy, newer than her....and simply and utterly delicious! He looked absolutely sinister, but in the good way, and Kat just about purred again at the sight of him.
After Gavin introduced himself, Kat took her turn, bowing extravagantly and with a cute grin, her head tilted to the side slightly. "Why hello there my pretty pretty...I be Katlyn...but you may call me Kat for that is the way I act...Do tell, did you come from the land of delinquents where the spicy hot reside? I hail from the Las Vegas branch meself.." she said to him, looking him up and down and very much liking what she was seeing. Oh, I really do adore this circus...Everyone is so hot...and I bet half are just as playful as I am..but this one is absolutely yummy! A reputation probably precedes him, aye, but no matter...he is probably as fun as ever...I do love that hair...and that leather jacket..I bet I'd love whats underneath even better...simply lovely, she thought to herself before hearing Chase talk to her.
"Me poison is rrrrrum, mate, predictably so," Kat said with a bit of a sigh as if she missed having some around on her- which she did. When she had been home she had always been able to nick some from the liquor cabinet and keep a constant supply on her. It was a good time, most definitely, and she wasn't allowed to bring any with her when she came to the school. She saw Chase speak to the zoned out girl and she had to pipe in. "Oi Miss Twiggy! There be any wind in your sails up there?" she asked, leaning over slightly to look around at her, looking curiously before getting bored of it after a second and busied herself looking at the hot new boy.

Ricki narrowed her eyes at Gavin, though there was a playful edge to it. You've got to be kidding me, "Oh wow, Uh - No Idea. She's probably with her new teammates at the moment I guess." Ricki shrugged, there was still a caring undertone to her words, but she tried to keep her statement as casual as possible - she wasn't going to disown the girl, obviously - but she couldn't just keep hanging on. "Seriously, is it really that weird seeing me without Torri?" she couldn't help but keep the slight pleading-tone out of her voice. She tried to remember back to Florida - she couldn't actually remember ever feeling so left out back there. She'd always been extremely cheerful and chirpy back then, and she more or less spoke to anyone and everyone with ease.
It was only since she'd come to the academy. She sighed, trying hard not to blame Torri for it - it really wasn't the little girl's fault, Ricki just shouldn't have gotten all that attached, but still, a part of her couldn't help but wonder how different her life would've been if it hadn't been for Torri. She sighed, well - it was never too late was it? She could still go back to the person she was back in Florida and here was her perfect chance, Torri was now a member of the Alpha Squad. Ricki could actually act her age. Her eyes flickered over to Clutch who seemed to have zoned out a bit. Ricki smiled slightly, "Hey Clutch - Alive? Dead?"
Ricki shook her head at Clutch, before she looked back to Gavin and Kat - the new girl. "We're headed to Emma's Office - you guys wanna come? Or you two going somewhere else?" she added. It was easier to speak to Gavin than most of the other people, seeing he was a Team-mate and she knew him better than she did most people.

Interestingly enough, Ana had indeed been day dreaming to herself while the conversations had gone on and was only to be brought out by those who took enough effort to try and grab her attention again. 'I need to stop doing that. It's rude to ignore people but i have nothing to really say to them. I don't talk to them much and these new students seem far more colourful than i have ever been. How odd.' She thought silently, giving a small smile to the other students and apologizing quietly. "I'm sorry, i was in other world." She said softly, her expression showing embarrassment over the situation.
There was something about these people though, she realized that despite her attempts to really talk to people they where all far too different from what she liked to even get a conversation started. For one, not many of them would spend their time taking such great care over their bodies. She knew none of them really cared as long as they didn't get fatter. It was a totally different story for Clutch. She did care. She liked being thin, it was something she was that set her apart from her team mates. Although she was clearly seen to be quite thin she had never thought herself as an anorexic and was yet to even contemplate the idea. She just didn't find eating to be something that should be important. She ate enough to keep herself going and nothing more. Some of the smells that came from food put her off totally and she would eat herself at a later time, after her own time in the gymnasium that was.
"I was only thinking. I am sorry." she said, still with her normal smile. Some of these new students strange. The female had many tattoo's and the male had the strangest hair cut she had ever seen. She would not be rude though, and waved them off. "I am going for walk around gardens. You have seen them?" She said, looking more at the new girl, wondering if she would be of any help in seeing her around. She didn't hold much on that thought really, with Stormhawk by her side it was probable that he was giving her a tour himself. It was good to ask though.

Where the freak is that bitch?!?! I swear I'm going to KILL HER!, she thought bitterly. Sky stole Lian's cigarettes and it wasn't the first time. What pissed Lian off even more, was that the Floridian bitch did it because Lian ate two Jelly Beans. Not A LOT, just TWO!!! And they weren't even Sky's favorite flavors. Those were my freaking last Newports, the bitch better not have finished it like last time!
She stormed from the girls dorms and went to all the places Sky would usually be found in. As she looked she thought about what happened in the Rec Room with the earthquake. It was definitely not something natural and it was another reason Lian was looking for Sky. She wanted to make sure she was OK. To calm her nerves she looked in her room for her cigarettes and low and behold, they were freaking gone. Lian's worry turned into anger and she wanted to tackle her best friend into the ground.
Finally reaching back to the foyer, Lian knew that Sky could also be found outside. She looked out the window from the staircase and checked to see if her assumption was correct. She was, and Lian's fury boiled up into more rage than before. Her eyes wide, she then narrowed them followed by storming out the front door. "SKYLAR WALKER YOU BETTER freakING HAVE MY CIGARETTES UNHARMED OR YOU ARE GOING TO freakING-" she saw the new guy and totally stopped mid-sentence. Oh my God is he saying here?!?! He is freaking HOT!! She looked to Sky, knowing that they were thinking the exact same thing. She smirked and then looked to the newbie. "Hey there," she said in her natural cool manner. "I'm Lian, who are you?"

With a slightly amused look on his face, Dante looked between the new arrivals, assessing them in his head with caution. That's what he always did when he meet people to size them up and make a first glance judgment on how to approach them. The two girls that came seemed far from squares, though that Kat girl talked like she downed a couple of bottles of rum. He didn't mind particularly though, since he was already expecting to meet a lot of unusual characters in a place like this. The other girl seemed pretty chill like Sky, though he had a feeling that she knows how it goes better than this girl just by the way Sky held herself. The guy Gavin though, was a bit harder for Dante to get a read on. He didn't look like a square, but his attitude was much different from the others and distinctly set him apart. He decided to keep up his tough and indifferent composure at the max, not ready to relax yet.
"Name's Dante. And uh, well I guess you ain't the only guy on the Paragons no more. I'm supposed to be with Nightcrawler on the Paragons," Dante said looking at Chase, remembering clearly the naturally seductive and enticing voice of Emma Frost speaking in his head and offering him a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card for coming to the school. It was a suckers choice to chose juvie over anything so of course he took it. This place looked a lot better and nicer and with the looks of it, they served more edible stuff than gruel.
One of the biggest bonuses of coming here than staying back was that he wouldn't have to live for months at a time without laying eyes on a broad. This place was full of them and made it all seem a lot better to Dante. He had no interest to look for a hookup since he hadn't even stepped inside the school yet. Besides the way that things looked, he'd have a whole lot of time to eye the broads in the school for himself. Right now his focus was to figure this place out. "We gonna find the head lady or what? One of you can either show me or point me the way, I dig either of those," Dante said mostly to the girls. He wasn't expected the guys to jump in just cause he himself would not want to show the new guy the way either.

"Whoa there Stud, take a load off. It's all boring and crazy in there now," Sky said and plopped in front of the Phoenix Statue, gesturing him to join. "Like I said, you go in now and you'll be forced to wait outside of Frost's office. Then you might run into our residential sexy psycho, or some other of the crazys we got here. Stick with us we are your team anyways and thank god for that. We don't bite... much." She winked at him and sneaked a glance the huge hickey on Chase's neck. "Besides, other than Titless over there, we're way more fun than sitting in a stuffy hallway," she said with a giggle and stuck her tongue out at Lian before slipping her cigarettes out of her sleeve and chucking them right at her head. Sky started cracking up when they bounced off. "Oh yea, ten points there," she said and high fived Chase with a laugh.
"See Chase Ricki here," Sky said and put her arm around Ricki. "I'm taking her under my wing, uh no offense Gavin." She winked at him and looked back at Chase. "I'm gonna get that stick outta her ass and loosen her up nice and good. Not too loose, cause that's never fun," she added with a laugh just to embarrass Ricki a bit, but it was all in good fun. "Oh man the days have been awesome so far. We lose Katana, what the hell is her real name anyways? She looks like a Freida so I'll just go with that. When I think Freida I think alleged chick with deeper voice and more hair on her arms than I have on my whole body." Sky giggled at her own comment and then continued. "Anyway we get sweet Piratey Goth Kat there, by the way girl we are so partying together, and now you?!" Sky looked right at Dante almost beaming behind her flirtatious little smile. "Man this is better than, dare I say it, a triple feature of 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' but not quite as cool as a marathon."
She leaned back against the statue and decided to just chill out until it lunch which was rapidly coming up. "I'm hungry, wish I had my gummie bears, but some two bit SLUT with pimples for tits decided it was okay to eat them," Sky said causally not bothering to clarify who since, well it was obvious. "Hey Clutch you got anything on ya? Na I saw you had an Altoid yesterday, means you ain't eating again till Tuesday," she said then burst out laughing at herself. "Oh man, Pimple tits, Altoids, I'm on a role man," Sky said still in giggles.

"Dante man, welcome to the team. Paragons are the shit man you'll see. Hey you are seein'!!! AAAAaaallll the chicks wanna hang with us. The Paragon girls are real cool and I'm glad to have you cause up till now it's just been me trying to take care of em all." He flipped Ripple 'the bird'. "Some need special treatment, yo. Plus man, Nightcrawler is pretty cool, looks like a demon, talks with an accent- you'll dig him."
He looked over at Ricki and nodded in his casual way. "Her? Well alright then Sky, if you're gonna vouch for her then she's cool by me." He leaned up against the statue and said "But one word about that weird little girl she hung out with and that's the end of it for her. Serious man." He crossed his arms as he watched Ricki for a minute wondering how she would fit in with the party gang.
His eyes trailed back to Dante after a minute sizing him up and thinking about what he might do on the team. He looked him over trying to figure out what his sport was, he was in good shape. Hmmm, yea he is. No wonder the girls are all drool and panty slime for him, damn I'm feeling a twitch down there myself. He checked himself before he gave too much away and wiped his nose with the back of his hand just in case there was any look on his face he could explain it away by an itch or something.

Gavin had to laugh at the stuff Sky said, even though he felt bad since it was at Clutch's expense and she was really nice. At least thats the impression he got the first few times he saw her. "Yea well, you all live it up. Me and Ricki here are stuck with Katana now. I'll tell you this, you guys may have given her a hard time, but Ian is gonna run her to the ground unless she gets her act together. He's a pretty tough captain erm... unofficially. And he's not gonna take any of her fits for nothing," he said with a slight sigh and a smirk on his face. Ian and him already talked a bit last night before bed and while playing the Wii that Gavin's mom sent him. He felt bad for Katana if she pissed Ian off enough. The guy was one of the coolest he ever met, but Gavin would not want to be in his way when he was pissed.
"Looks like you guys are hanging out here for a bit Ricki. I think actually, I'm gonna go off and work on a song that I had floating in my head all morning," Gavin said and looked over at Kat with a slight grin. "Looks like you got some catchin' up to do with your team. We'll take a rain check on that flight okay?" He nodded his head at her and gave the others a wave. "I'll see you guys at lunch, and don't get into too much shit. Teachers in this place aren't exactly in the best of moods right now after that crazy Science class," he advised thinking of the few they saw teachers he saw while showing Kat around the mansion.
Gavin stepped back and spread out his massive wings, stretching them for a moment before shaking them out. With one strong movement, Gavin flew up in the air and waved to the group before going higher in the air and flying toward the lake with his guitar on his back. There was a spot on the other side of the lake that he loved to go and just play some tunes. There was a tree there that had some wide branches for him to sit comfortably and play his guitar in peace. That tune had been in his head for about a week and he wanted to give it some words. It first came into his head at the most random moment too, when Ian was commenting one time at dinner how Niki and Ember always smell so damn good. Only Gavin could get a melody in his head after a comment like that. Either way, that was his next goal on what to work on and he wanted to figure it out.
