Ricki was practically in hysterics as she tried to look away from the brawl that was occouring between Lian and Austin. Dude, they're gonna kill each other. He really is so much like Sky! It's amusing... she shook her head trying to calm her giggles down as her eye fell over the blue haired figure who'd recently joined their table. Ricki threw fleeting glances in Lorelai's direction, unsure of wether she should speak or not. Ricki wasn't unloyal to her team - and at the moment Lorelai was buddies with Rumble who neither the acolytes nor Ricki liked. But then again... Ricki and Lorelai used to be quite good friends... was it still there?
Ricki wanted to ask Lorelai so many things, but now was not the time nor place. She merely looked at Lorelai for a couple more seconds before she conclouded she may as well say something. "Hey," she whispered quietly allowing a weak smile to form on her lips, her giggles underlining her words. "Uh- cute isn't he?" Ricki commented nodding her head towards Austin who was still in a brawl with Lian. Ricki wanted to play it safe... she didn't want to start any sort of... well, disagreement over the dinner table. It was a enjoyable atmosphere at the moment, and Ricki didn't want to ruin it.

"Riker! Damn jou, vhat 'appened to jou vaking me from mein nap! jou know i sleep zrough art vonce Eengleesh eest over!" Jasper yelled from the hallway, bursting through the door to the cafeteria. His hair still messy from just getting up and a small smirk on his face as he looked at the already busy room. Lian with sauce all over her, a little blonde boy running around, Skylar laughing hysterically. it was a beautiful picture. such mayhem!
"Now, vhere am i meant to seet?" He asked, looking at the table with the multitude of students. He was yet to even get his dinner - meatballs being a favorite of his - and the amount of sauce and rubbish already spread around the table and ... Lian, he wondered if it was even sensible getting anything.
then again, his stomach had the ruling vote.
Striding over in his heavy black boots Onyx grabbed a tray and bowls, helping himself to the Spaghetti, meatballs and garlic bread. He loved that, it was one of the school meals he enjoyed. Not like the ones back at his old school. "Right, vhere ist my seat?" He announced, not waiting for someone to move and playfully shoving Riker to the side a little and parking his butt down to start 'wolfing' down his meal so to speak.
Looking up he nodded gently at Alejandro, knowing he was going to have some making up to do. He had alot to live up to and indeed much more to do in the way of making any of the team look at him differently. "Vhat 'as 'e said zo far?" He said, taking his role as beta up once again like he had after English. With Riker he knew where he stood and when he needed to be serious, he was serious.

Throughout the whole thing, Dante had been eating his spaghetti and meatballs quietly with a big of a smirk on his face. He was for the most part entertained with all going on as he sat and ate his meal quietly watching with interest. He didn't mind his team, and he already decided Ricki dug okay. Other people he still wasn't sure on, like the blue haired girl he couldn't get a definitive read on. When she sat down, he glanced at her briefly and kept looking at her from the corner of his eye, feeling rather suspicious of her. He didn't like it when he couldn't get a read on. Most people at the school he had an easy read on, like that guy Riker sitting next to him and Jasper on the other side. He got them, though he could honestly say he never met anyone like Riker.
Though Dante was entertained by watching Sky's little brother beat up a girl twice his size, his eyes slid over to the kid that seemed to sulk over to both Jasper and Riker. He looked at the Spanish kid for a second and then back at Riker. Comes over with a tail between his legs and Riker is anything but the chill guy I gotten used to right now. Man this kid either f@%#ked up big or is just a major pussy, he thought with a slight smirk and turned away. "Pass the hot pepper," Dante said to Ricki, exchanging a look with her and then glancing at Sky and Chase still on the floor.

Lorelai watched the ensuing food fight with a smirk and laughed to herself at the scene. As long as none of the spaghetti, meatballs, or whatever else that was flying around didn't get on her, she'd be good. When she wasn't watching the other Paragons and Sky's little brother run around she saw who else was left at the table. Riker was now talking to the weird kid who she thought seemed like a big idiot. When she wasn't focused on flirting with Rumble like the insane person even she herself thought she was, she had caught glimpses of what other people had been doing in passing. This guy seemed like he was a complete oddball and scoffed a laugh before looking away to see Ricki and her new teammate still seated at the table.
Lorelai continued to eat her food, spinning spaghetti around her fork and eating it as cleanly as she could, but wiping her mouth with her napkin when she thought it felt like it was messy. She hadn't said much else after she joined the table since watching everything else was more entertaining, but she swore she felt eyes watching her. She figured herself right when Ricki then whispered a hello to her, and she turned to look at her. Lorelai smirked and nodded. "Yeah, I should sit at this table more often. Food flinging is my kind of after class entertainment and watching the little one join right in and get Lian is pretty damn funny," she answered with a laugh and going with the fact Ricki was talking to her, still smirking as her brown eyes looked over to glance at the group running around.
Looking at her new teammate, her smirk still stayed on her face. "Hey, name's Lorelai. I hear you're on the Paragons too. We've got quite an interesting group of teammates, don't you think?" she asked him, extending a hand to grab the hot pepper and slid it across the table to him. "There's your pepper," she told him, one corner of her mouth twitching into a slightly deeper smirk for a second before she turned back to her plate to eat another meatball.

Chase was laughing and having the Friday fun time he was used to until the shit just hit the fan. "Hold Up!" He called from under Sky and shrugging her off of himself and standing up he slammed his hand down on the table knocking over the pepper.
Pointing to Dante and looking Frostbite in the eyes he said "He is OUR new team mate. You are just a color blind Acolyte. You ain't one of us, you just put on the wrong colored shit is all, now get lost you."
He shook his head and looked at Dante "Here's the peppre dude." He said handing it over to the guy and then looked at Sky. "Yeah man, you called that one. Just makin herself right at home." his smile returned when he saw the look she gave him. "where was I? Oh right"
He grabbed the chocolate milk from in front of Ricki and poured it out over Sky, pausing it in it's position in mid air a split second before it hit her and watching her flinch. "Ha yeah, I'm totally there. Like you could even find the place without me." He tossed her the tall plastic cup that he'd pour the milk from out of "You have about as much luck finding it as Squinty-Eye Sue over there has filling out one a your bras."

Riker looked from Jasper for a moment when Chupacabra finished his bit. "Jasper me beta, the runt here seems ta be apologizin' for his behavior," he said looking back at Jasper as he took another bite of one of the meatballs. "Sit down Runt, an' yer gonna listen fer a little while what I say, cause this be the one an' only time I be tellin' ya this," he said and put his fork down. He hated using utensils but he did promise Kitty that he would act more civilized.
"I dun want ya ta stand there an' tell me yer bloody sorry. Ya wanna show that yer sorry, then get yer bloody act together. Actions mean more than words," Riker growled out and looked at him carefully. "Now me bein' the Alpha, I earned that bloody position. Everyone on the team is me family, cause it be the only family I got an' I will do anythin' for them. If anyone in me pack eve' needed me, I be there without question, an' I will do anythin' ta protect them an' keep 'em safe. An' they all do the same fer each othe'. Except fer ya, ya neve' did anythin' fer the pack or anyone in it. That right there, is why ya dun have respect frem anyone on the team," he said looking at Jasper for a moment and then back at Chupacabra.
"Jasper here, he got ta where he is not cause he always does as I say cause he doesn', but his heart always be in the right place. He gives me a new view on me own actions an' when anybody needs him. If anyone on the team needed his help, he's there withou' question an' I would trust him ta look after me own sister or the whole bloody team if I not be here. I know he do anythin' for the pack, an' that's what makes him the Beta," he said slapping his friend and Beta on the back.
"He proved himself, as did every othe' member in the pack. Ya have yet ta do that, but if ya wanna stay on this team, ya will. But I tell ya this now Runt." Riker leaned forward and the wolf in him came out again, protective of his pack and family with all the fierceness he embodied. "If ya mistreat anyone in this pack, or I hear or even think yer disrespectin' them right, then yer out. I be done talkin' ta ya, I'll jus' have ya out o' the team. If ya dare hurt anyone on this team again, then no teacher, no student, an' no one else will keep me frem inflictin' that pain on ya a hundred times ove'," he warned with a growl, serious in every way. "Ya remembe' Runt, I be a born mutant, an' there ain't an animal that ya can change inta to keep me frem rippin' ya apart."
Riker sat back and picked up his fork, stabbing the Parmesan covered meatball and bringing it to his mouth. "I said me piece, ya bette' hope that it be the last time we have this talk." He warned and ate his meatball, giving Jasper, the Beta of the team, a chance to say something to the Runt of the pack.

Alex returned Onyx's nod. He kept his gaze on the table trying to ignore the commotion around him. The smell of the spaghetti and meatballs were really getting to Alex now. He could not deny his hunger for much longer. It was only going to get harder from here and he had a feeling that a speech was coming and he had to take in each word and learn things.
Alex listened intently on Riff~Raff's words. Okay, I know that actions speak louder than words but I had to speak my so-called intentions before applying them. So I really have to help my teammates this weekend to hopefully win their trust back. Then at the next team practice I really have to help all I can without imposing authority. Alex's plan began to form more solidly in his head. This was working out as well as he had hoped.
Riker continued to to to talk about Jasper and how he attained his position. This gave Alex a greater insight on his teammate and how his leadership works. Obviously obeying is not the whole deal but I have to gain respect from this dog before I can really begin to contribute. Being useful in my own way will hopefully help. I don't want to threaten anybodies position cause that would be just asking for trouble...again. What he is basically describing is like a hierarchy/family. I have to be there for the others while knowing my place and helping out as much as possible. I just hope it doesn't take too long to climb this little ladder of his. I just need to make allies in my team and be trustworthy.
Alex listened as his team leader spoke about respecting the pack. It kind of sounded like a broken record but Alex was not going to say anything no matter how much he desired to. Then came the threats. Alex never did respond to threats well but he knew he would have to ignore it and move on if his plan were to take action. Alex just took a deep breath and let it go. He had no intentions of harming anyone if he could help it. If only they took the time to understand him like the time Alex was using to understand them. One thing did take his mind somewhere else. When Riker said that no animal Alex turned into could stop him, Alex had a deep inner thought. Not if I fly away. I just learn how too first. Alex allowed himself to laugh on the inside.
Riker had finished his speech with a warning that Alex mutually agreed with. This was the last time they were going to have this discussion. Soon Alex would have gotten what he wanted and he would not have to worry about this any more. Riker continued to eat his meal as Alex turned to Jasper. He had a feeling that Jasper had a couple of things he wanted to get across. He would wait a little while longer before going to eat.

"Why is it always chocolate milk?!" Sky exclaimed laughing and then launched herself at Chase, wrapping her arms around his waist, rubbing her whole body against him and making sure her hairs rubbed completely against his chest so he had at least half the chocolate milk, and her way of teasing him all the same. "My ma always said to share, and who am I to deprive you of your chocolate milk?" she said with a laugh and let go of him. He was just as much covered in chocolate milk as she was, though she had more in her hair than he did.
"Careful Austin, I hear she eats humans too, not just kitties and puppies!" Sky yelled to her brother and nudged Chase in the ribs and laughed that Lian was getting beat up by her little brother. "Now that kid is gonna be a Paragon in the future. He's made to be one," she said and gave Frostbite a sidelong glance. It wasn't that Sky didn't like the girl, she never really spoke to her, but that perhaps worked against her for this team. It was full of delinquents and the deceptive, and she was neither.
Sky would defend her from anyone outside the team, but when it comes to within the team, the girl had a lot to go through before she was fully accepted into the team, if at all. Sky herself didn't really give a damn either way, a three legged frog was better than Katana. She wasn't going to add to the hazing, but Chase was her best friend and she was pretty close to her whole team. She'd stick to them no matter what they did, and that would probably not work out in the favor of others.
"Hey Dante," Sky said and grabbing Chase's hair from behind and bringing his head down to bite and tug on his ear. "You're in tonight right? We can welcome you properly to this place," she asked and let go of Chase's ear, leaning forward and chugging the rest of his soda down and giving him a big grin.

Sniggkering at TUneups joke Kevin pickted up his napkin and covered his mouth to not be rude and show his half chewed food in his mouth and then he really laughed hard. "Oh Sean that's too funny." He wiped his mouth as he caught his breath and looked over at the other gourp.
His smile faded as he saw heis dear friend Loralie being picked on. He still loved her and yet a twing in him said good, because it wa what she deserved. She had torn their incerdible team of freinds appart. She was the reason they now had to deal with Kantana. It was all awlful but in the deepest part of his heart he still hurt for her. The look on her face was so much not what he would want for her to be feeling. She looked shocked and sadaned confused all at the same time.
He broke away his stared and looked back at his friends sitting with him. Sean and Puppy-love and K'8 and the others. Hearing them lauging he said "Oh hey, wha'd I miss?" He nudged his shoulder into Pupy-LOve's and said "What happened?"

The tugging of her thick asian hair was more than past the limit for Lian. "THAT'S IT!!" she yelled and stood up. The little runt was going to pay for it. She tackled Austin to the ground and pinned him. She grabbed both of his arms and dug her knees into his legs. "Now you are really going to be sorry. You want to be like Sky? Then suffer the same way she does." With an evil smirk, Lian started to gather saliva. This was usually the grosses she got when it came to using body fluids against others. Slowly, she allowed a trail of spit to leave her mouth, getting closer and closer to Austin's face. If this didn't work, she would have to use more drastic measures.
She continued to let the long spit drop, only to slurp it up again quickly before it broke at it's peak. She didn't want to actually have contact, it was way more fun. "I'm still bigger than you and the end of the day runt," she teased. "And stronger." Again, she allowed the spit to slowly trail down.

Lorelai smirked as the awaited team-switching hazing started and she looked Chase right back in the eyes with an amused smirk. Wondered when it was coming. Ah well, this ought to be fun. "I can see colors just fine, thank you Chase. And no, I won't go away. I like it here, it's rather amusing and you aren't going to make me go away by just telling me. Like it or not, I'm on the team now and that's that. If you have such an issue with that, take it up with Miss Frost and remember I saved you all from Katana," she said, tilting her head slightly as her amused smirk stayed on her face. This was the sucky part of the switch she knew she had coming, but she really rathered that than deal with her objects of utter hate on a daily, close range basis.
No, she wasn't an Acolyte anymore, and she didn't want to belong on it anymore, so she simply didn't. That, and Miss Frost was so kind enough to let her switch out. Besides, she thought she should be slightly more welcomed. She did after all save the Paragons from the nuissance of having to deal with Katana on a close range daily basis. Of course she knew that wasn't going to be enough to be accepted, if at all, but she figured it was a little perk that she knew they had to be enjoying. No matter, I'll take what they give me and that's it. So sorry, Chase, but I'm not going anywhere.
Lorelai laughed to herself and rolled her eyes as she continued eating her spaghetti and meatballs. She had thought right yesterday at the end of Iceman's class- things in this school were never boring.

Chase's eyes went wide. He'd stopped the milk in mid air so Sky could do her thing and dissolve it into dust, but she just did the unthinkable- AGAIN! "Ohhh help, oh Sky, nooo. Uhhhgg." Chase resigned himself to being covered in milk and Skylar. The rough stuff was cool by him and he loved it when she pulled his hair and bit him in any old place. He was looking at Dante and asking if he would come out tonight "Yea-" then a sound like nails on a blackboard and as whiney as a six year old trying to prove how grown up they were burst into the conversation. It was just too easy though and for a second he almost didn't say it, but then that second passed and he just had to let her know just how she was showing her ass.
"No shit stupid, what the hell did I just say? I just said that to your dumb ass. Your wearing the color but you can't tell you don't belong wearing Paragon Green. No, you think just because you go and cry about things you should get your way, so that's what you did huh. You went and cried to Frost and she swapped your ass. I don't like Katana but we don't owe you anything for getting rid of her and I'll tell you this, for all the cryin she did she never expected anything for it, so you just made yourself out to be worse than her. Stay then, cause you'll only cry about it and none of us want to hear it from you, but you'll never be one of us. We don't need you we got Glitch and Kat and Kyle's back now too, hell what do we need you for- oh right since Katana left we need a crybaby! So you're right, stay, looks like there is a place for you after all. The New Mutants got him, " he pointed at Chupacabra "Acolytes got Katana and we got you, no issue. So roll your eyes all you want it wont change a goddamn thing."
Turning back to Dante he said "Yea, man you comin?" And sat back down to eat his sweet syrupy meatballs and sketties. Seeing the zipper-head bullying the little dude Chase got a little miffed, then when he saw she was using his trick he had enough. "Hey that's my trick Ripple, you twit. Get your own." he reached a hand out and froze the spit hanging there off her lip. "And let the kid up, your beat. He got you, he's cool."

Ricki turned around to look at Dante, vaguely glancing at Frostbite and Chase too. "Uh - yea, you should totally come Dante! We can both be first-timers. Though you'd probably uh... be more used to that kinda stuff than I am..." Ricki muttered, going along with the conversation, though her head was still going over Lorelai and Chase's breif exchange. Oh, Lorelai wasn't having it easy at all. Even though she was playing it cool, it was more than obvious that the paragons weren't just going to accept her just like that - she'd have to earn their respect and trust. Ricki bit her lip, knowing it'd be best not to say anything - it wasn't her place to interrupt. She kept her eyes on Dante before she added,
"Uh guess I forgot to mention - Frostbite's a paragon too." she kept her voice low enough to make sure only Dante could hear. Now that Ricki thought about it, it was kind of odd how she hadn't mentioned Frostbite while she was talking to Dante about his team... maybe it was 'cause Frostbite didn't really hang out with the Paragons much, or perhaps 'cause she wasn't accepted yet... Ricki held back a sigh, and ate some more. "Seriously Sky - are all your siblings all ruff and tuff?" Ricki giggled as her eyes glided over Austin. That guy was half of Lian's size, and he'd just about finished beating her up. She tried to imagine what their house must be like, if a 8... 9 year old guy was all up for beating up a girl twice his size. I'll remember not to eever mess with either of the Walkers, she thought, shaking her head slightly.
"Uh so - what are we gonna be doing today...tonight...whichever, whatever." Ricki muttered absently, her eyes hanging over Sky and Chase. Everyone knew that 'the group' always got up to crazy stuff whenever they could, and Ricki just wanted to mentally prepare herself for whatever was in store tonight.

Kyle walked in quietly. He had a bit of a limp from where he strained his leg running the test. He wasn't looking good, and was feeling worse. He had a bad start to his return. So far he had his face smashed with what felt like a trashtruck, Diesel hit him a ton even though he was holding back he still could feel the force as it had rocked him so hard in front of the entire class that it felt like his spine shook. He'd hurt his leg running the test for Doctor McCoy, and then he was 'accidentally' electrocuted in the med lab. This did not bode well for the speedster.
As he walked into the room he reached up and ran his hand through his short cut hair, a nervous habit he had developed when he was feeling out of sorts. He looked around at the students gathered there and noticed there were a lot more that he did not recognize. He kept himself quiet and fetched himself a plate of food. Having been hungry from testing and using his power he stacked the food up high. Still without a word he found a seat by the other Paragons. Knowing Chase would probably announce him again to everyone.
As Kyle settled in he looked over to Chase and pointed to his leg. "You will not believe the day I've had. Don't worry about the leg," he chuckled playing it off, "Dr. McCoy says I can still practice with the team later." He glanced around at the team mates he remembered saying "Just can't push it to hard, so yeah guys, I still got your backs. " That being said Kyle dived into eating his food and looked to those around. He tried to pick out the ones in the green as Paragons. He nodded to Frostbite and Ripple. Two of the few he knew and hadn't noticed until now. He thought Ripple had been in the art class, but he couldn't remember with everything that happened so quick.
Even after all that happened today, and with what happened in the past he wanted to be part of the team again. He wanted to make it work. After swallowing his mouth full and clearing his throat with a drink he addressed those close by. "Listen guys, I know I f@#$%ed up before and I'm sorry. I guess you can say I kinda lost it. But I'm back and I'm still wanting to be a part of this team. Cool?" He looked at Ripple who was one of the original ones he went through the Danger room with the first time they had arrived here and who had helped save him from the giant metal snake arms. He was determined to make this work this time. Something had to go right for him.

Post by Coffee on Jul 5, 2009 23:35:26 GMT -5
Sitting at one of the quieter, back tables where there were more younger kids, Coffee kept one ear turned toward Sky and Lian's table to keep track of the food fight he had seen break out there. They can have their fun and clean up the mess later, he thought. No need for me to go over there. When he first came to the school the food fights had bothered him greatly as it was such a waste and the lack of discipline was unnerving, but they were so routine that now he just listened to make sure it didn't escalate into something dangerous. The new boy has so much energy...he might give me a run for my money when we play tag. Coffee thought smiling, thinking about the last tag game he'd played with the Alphas where he'd had to hop up into a tree branch to escape one of the little ones.
There was also a more personal reason that Coffee kept an ear on that table. Riker was sitting there and the wolf boy naturally made the rabbit a little nervous. Not that I can't take him, Coffee said to himself almost as if trying to justify his concern. I just don't want to have to really fight a student. He's got plenty of other things to eat. The hungry way with which the boy and his sister looked at him, had not escaped Coffee's notice, and he had not exactly trusted the wolf children before.
Finishing his bowl, Coffee laughed and joked with the kids at his table, and even got into the conversation with a little pantomime and a tiny bit of Morse code. There were the usual misunderstandings resulting in lots of laughter. The mood was far different then what he was monitoring at the other table where he could hear Chupacabra and Riker having a serious conversation and then later Frostbite having issues with her new team. I must talk with the boy about this tomorrow at the gym, he thought about the NuMutant. During their daily weight training and boxing sessions the rabbit tried to pass some wisdom onto the child. It was a trying yet fulfilling task.
Finished with his meal, Coffee sat back in his chair and streched. He apparently stretched too far as the chair fell backwards out from under him and he and it both hit the floor with a giant *thud*
