Ripple's arrival was sort of a blessing in disguise, because it kept Dante from answering any big questions. She was a little too much, but he had nothing against her and at that moment. It worked for him cause following her, came Ricki and some other chick. After nodding to Ricki in a greeting as she got suspended in mid air like it was a totally normal thing, which wasn't far from the truth, he looked up from lighting a new cigarette to study this new girl with his usual guarded and cold eyes. She was a looker, that was apparent even in the dark, but the bird on her shoulder just added her to the swarm of weird people that attended the school.
That wasn't necessarily a bad thing though, as far as Dante was concerned the broads here could be as quirky as they wanna be as long as they pull it off without making him annoyed. A smirk slowly spread across his face as Chase made a disney comment, it was exactly what ran through Dante's head at first glance when he saw her with a little bird on her shoulder. What else was he supposed to think when he saw a pretty girl that had the curls and everything come up and talking to a bird, he was waiting for her to start singing and all the deer and animals come out to dance around her or something. Maybe a bit too cutesy for his taste, but he'd seen the other chicks on the team, and they were not as cutesy as they seemed.
He blew out a cloud of smirk and turned his gaze away from Liv, looking to Ricki with a slight smirk on his face at her situation. "How's it hanging?" he asked in a slightly amused voice, though his expression remained the same. Ricki was a pain in the ass, but he could deal with her. She reminded him of someone he used to know, and that's probably why he tolerated her. With everyone else, he bid his time, finding his place with them. Dante's comfort at the school wasn't exactly all there yet, but when it would happen sooner or later.

Brow furrowed, Liv tried to take the insult to her power in stride, but she had to literally bite her tongue to keep from saying something that would get her pitched off the dock. Disney powers? DISNEY po- she used her sleeve to pry the top off her beer and took a heavy swallow… or five. Liv glanced sideways to Cuil. Her small friend had picked up on her anger and was fluffing his feathers up in an attempt to look more imposing. Big Mouth better watch it or her little sparrow warrior was going straight for his eyes.
Liv shot a scowl at the dude with the cigarette. She hadn’t missed his smirk at the Disney comment. Tall, dark, and brooding, he was seriously easy to look at. He was one of those dangerous looking boys that drew girls to them like flies to shit. He had the classic ‘bad boy’ vibe but all Liv saw was a city boy with a chip on his shoulder. Boring, she thought to herself. Seriously done to death. She'd dealt with her fair share of guys who thought they were badass. She didn't see the appeal.
“It’s just his name,” she said to Big Mouth, arching an eyebrow at him. “I didn’t give to him. But at least Cuil introduced himself before he started running his mouth at me.” Liv snickered, her eyes dancing as she took another moment with her beer. "And I'll have you know I dressed myself this morning. No deer, no mice, and no little bunnies." There had been a dog but, he hadn't helped so much as chewed on her work boots.
Best not mention that.

"Careful Chase, she's going to make that little puffy bird peck your eyes out. And if you're blind you might end up groping Katana instead of me one day," Sky said with a slight laugh, passing on the beer for once and sticking on playing with the cigar that she was still smoking. Her curiosity was peaked now about what Dante was in lock up for, but she wasn't all that surprised. She now wanted to see if he had any jailhouse tattoos somewhere on him, which he probably did. She'd have to ask Ricki later, she knew that she barged in to wake him earlier.
Sky looked up at the girl and smiled slightly, not really offering a helping hand with Chase, but not adding to it. She was a bit better about people that were put on her team than Chase or Lian were, but only cause those two puffed up their chests more than that little bird on Liv's shoulder did to prove who was top dogs on the team. It was different when it was a new person, they were meant to be Paragons, not like with Frostbite. She was an Acolyte in Green as Chase or someone said. At least this chick was meant for this team, and Sky wasn't going to give her anymore added crap than she gave Kat or Dante.
"Hey Snow White, either take a seat and brace yourself for the usual hazing and a free complimentary beer, or quit messin' our relaxing time. Or in their case their hanging out time," she grinned at Ricki and Lian and started laughing. "You know the water is just a little nippy tonight, but juuuuuuust the right temperature for a commando dive." She smirked at the them both and took a beer bottle cap and threw it at Lian, hitting her right on her forehead. "Ha, ten points! So as long as you're all hanging out, Ricki, were you planning on giving Dante a special little wakeup every morning? You know, I bet Kat can lend you a totally great outfit for it." Sky grinned and looked right at Ricki with a big smirk, loving a chance to embarrass her. "Now what will Gavin think? Ooooohh yes, I went there." She stuck her tongue out to make a point.

(imagine jeans instead of shorts =P ~) "Hanging? I'm hanging pretty well I think, yep. Hanging great!" Ricki muttered, sarcasm leaking in her voice, moreso to herself than Dante, although she didn't know if her words were carried over to the four Paragons or not. So, Ricki was here, hanging upside down just above a lake, her clothes frozen in place so she couldn't move and her face was bight red. Like really, bright red. Ricki was more than sure she looked like a tomato with yellow hair to the four sitting at smokers point. Ricki was having one of those hysteric fits. Somewhat similar to the one she'd gone through when Gavin'd grabbed her and the two of them'd landed in the lake. She wanted to be mad, but her anger- if that's what it was- was coming out via fits of giggles. Ricki just couldn't stop laughing,and which just made her blush even more! Twice, in two days. I don't think I've ever blushed as much as I have today and the night before. Ricki sighed, before she looked over at Lian also hanging besides her. "I swear I'll never laugh at you hanging upside down again," Ricki muttered once she'd caught her breath a little before looking down at the water and analyzing it carefully. There was only one thing to it at the moment; Ricki had to stretch herself out into the water. She could feel her lingerie move with her as she squirmed around inside her clothes; so it was safe to squirm her way out. Majority of the party had already seen Ricki strip down the night before- so hell, here went nothing. Ricki narrowed both her legs to roughly half their normal size and adjusted herself so both her legs were in the same part of her trouser. Ricki narrowed her arms too, and thinned her centre body mass along with her head, before squirming practically all of herself out of her one trouser leg. Her legs appeared out first, and stretched back to normal size the instant they escaped, and the rest of her body followed, her lingerie luckily still in the right places. Good thing she had to stretch down and not out; 'cause otherwise she would've ended up tearing apart the only peice of unfrozen clothing she was wearing at the moment. The transformation felt like it'd taken forever to Ricki, but to others it would've seemed a matter of perhaps a minute. ~ SPLASH! ~Ricki surfaced a moment later, her teeth clattering, her body protesting against the temperature change. "You-really-do-suck-chase." Ricki stammer-screamed from the water, staying at the same spot as she looked at Sky this time. Ricki was still blushing scarlett, half at what Sky'd said and half at the situation she as in at the moment. "G-ggavvin?! Whwhat ddoeess hhee haavee t-to doo wwitthh any off thiss?" Ricki added, adjusting more to the water- still speaking out loud and stammering a little in her speech as she floated. "And noo, it's fine. I think Dante's had enough of me." Ricki blushed as her eyes dropped on Dante before she hurried to look away and looked at Chase instead. "Alright FreezeFrame, We all loveeee your tricks, and you've succesfully embarrased Ricki Day once again. Now can you please, please, please un-freeze my clothes and just drop them down in the water? Pppleeasee?"

Chase just laughed and laughed at Ricki's tooth-chattering, near naked assault on his character. "Oh - oh Ricki, hahahaaHAAA! Yeah I suck, but you are down there in that water and my suckin ass is high and dry baby! HIGH and DRY- oh yeah mon." He finished up with his Jamaican accent and a twinkle in his eye.
"Aw hey cute undies by the way." He was glad he didn't freeze her underwear because he really had no interest in seeing her weird stretchy body in the nude, that might cause him to do a Technicolor yawn and spew all over. "I wouldn't soak your clothes, I might be wearin them before the night's over." He said snidely remember the bonfire and the dare to swap clothes with the silly putty blond. "Reach up and get em, and let this be a lesson to you about bringing some new person around without an invite. Damn stupid! I mean she seems cool enough, but what the hell Ricki?"
He watched for her to stretch her arms up and grab at the clothes she most desperately wanted. Then without warning he unfroze Lian's and Ricki's wardrobe. Laughing again, this time hysterically, as the slanty eyed girl plopped down in the water with a big Splash, her beer still hangign in place, and Ricki could grab her clothes. "YESSS!!! And she finally gets a bath- for once the world can breathe a sigh of relief and not haveta smell those corn chippy feet." He grinned as he looked back at everyone there. "Crusty ugg."
His glance caught Rhetoric through the tears of laugher in his eyes and he stopped himself. Giggling in spurts he said "Oh yeah how rude of me to not introduce myself as I handed you that beer you're sluggin down there, birdbrain. Shit, relax and do like Skylar here said or you can run your mouth back to the mansion- Cool?or Cuil or however you say it." He had stopped laughing by that time and was looking at her intently, trying to figure out if she was just another misplaced member of his team, or if she was Paragon Green through and through.
"As for groping Katana?" he looked at Sky from out the corner of his eye. "Rather slam my hand in a car door- on fire - falling off a cliff." He slid a smile back on his face and grabbed up his cigar from off the dock where it had left a nice char mark on the dock. Re-lighting it with his lighter he let the smoke float up into his nostrils and snooted it out with a snicker.

Liv saluted Big Mouth with her beer and settled againt a piling with a wink at Sky. She'd heard Ricki call him Chase... Big Mouth suited him better and Liv smirked into her bottle. "Cheers, love." She stretched out her legs and rolled her ankles with little popping sounds. Watching Ricki goo out of her clothes like that made her want to stretch out her own muscles in response.
Gross.
She offered the soaked blonde a shrug since it was apparently her fault that Ricki'd been tossed overboard. Oh, well. She certainly didn't ask for Gooey to act as liasion. Liv would have been perfectly capable of party crashing on her own.
Instead of commenting, Liv listened quietly while Chase teased his friends. The lot of them seemed decent enough. The other remaining dry girl, Sky, was... energetic, Liv decided. Snow White comment aside, she seemed nice, but Liv kept alert regardless. This group seemed as into pranks as Liv was and she didn't know if Sky was setting her up for something worse than an icy dip.
Chase didn't seem terrible, either. In fact, he reminded Liv of her little brother back home, just looking to have fun and find ways to amuse himself. She smiled at him as he relit his cigar.
Cuil peeped in her ears, his tiny voice filling her mind with several fun facts about the people she'd stumbled across. She looked around the small group again, feeling like her little spy had put her back on even footing again. She smirked, her eyes lit with humor.
Liv glanced at the brooding dude and couldn't help but roll her eyes. For feck's sake smile, she thought to herself moodily. Normally she would have ignored someone so obviously into his own cold projection, but the happy warmth of a chugged beer was telling Liv to make nice with the city boy. She tapped at him with the toe of her white Converse and gestured to Chase. "Hello Kitty, huh?" she asked with a quirked eyebrow. "And you guys are makin fun of me?" Liv ran a thumb through the fluffy down on Cuil's chest. "Lame sauce," she said firmly.
Liv glanced at Cuil when the little bird hopped onto Dante's knee with a small trill. She tensed. "Whatch it, featherhead," Liv warned the sparrow. She watched tough stuff to see if she would need to perform a quick birdie rescue. "Don't scare the slicker." She looked up at Dante with as serious a face as she could manage. "He probably thinks your hair is a nest."

Letting out a stream of smoke into the air, Dante's cool glance moved to the small puny bird on his knee, vowing to himself then and there that if deer were going to come by to eat from her hand, they'd be having venison for dinner that night. "I don't know where you got a nest of hair, but I don't got one on my knee," he retorted, shaking his knee lightly so the bird would fly off. He had a reputation to protect, and he still had to build it up properly. He wasn't going to go around with a little bird perched on him like he was in a Disney movie.
Glancing over at the new girl, his steely aqua eyes studying her intently. She was the pretty country girl type, not exactly a Southern Belle, but more 'feed the chickens, muck the stalls' kinda girl. She was probably the first, to Dante's knowledge of the team thus far, that was not from some kind of an urban setting. "Nice shirt," he said with a raised eyebrow glancing fleetingly at her stomach and then back at her face.
Being easy on the eyes never hurt a broad, but the rest was left to be seen. There were so many faux-tough chicks in this joint, and little wannabe gangster chicks that made Dante roll his eyes in annoyance. He sincerely wondered who some of them were trying to impress, and if it even worked. "I didn't know Disney allowed those kind of shirts." A slight smirk came across his face while he shook his head and looked back down at Ricki in the water.
"Went from hanging out to chilling out, you're all over the place Mary Sunshine," Dante's smirk widened as he looked down at the shivering Ricki and her now wet clothes. "Not so cheery now are ya?" Though he'd never admit it out loud, she looked damn adorable shivering in the water. "You and Chase can always switch clothes again, cause deep down he's probably decent." He reached around Sky and punched Chase in the shoulder, the first sign he showed that he was getting comfortable with all of them and perhaps one to show that the distance between him and the rest of them wasn't as big as before.

The sudden feeling of cold water spiking every part of her body, made Lian yelp. She was really ticked off. Not only was she soaking wet, but her beer was higher than she could reach and her cigarette was wasted. No matter how close of a friend you were to her, messing with her stuff was never an option. Heck when Sky burned all her underwear, Lian retaliated by running her down in the hallway right when she turned a corner. They wrestled for a good ten minutes before Sky "accidentally" decayed Lian's shirt, exposing her bra. It was a memory that they were able to look back upon and laugh at, but even Sky knew not to waste a beer or smoke.
"Just so you know... I aint tellin' you shit McGuire," she said with chattering teeth. Her thick raven hair and clothing were plastered to her body and if it were the middle of the summer she wouldn't have given a crap. Obviously those weren't the circumstances. Lian lifted herself out of the water by using the dock and stroke her hair back and away from her face. "You're a dick," she continued. "But we all know 'you are what you suck' right?" She would get him back later, with a masterful plan. The only thing was proper timing and patience. When it came to pranks and getting even, Lian had all the time in the world.
The new chick on her team seemed able to fit in nicely, but Lian wasn't sure about her yet. When it came to taking jokes she didn't seem to have a sense of humor, but she had the attitude that would help her get far in the team. For now, Lian would observe her and at least show her respect. Plus her power was pretty funny when compared to Disney princesses. It just made Lian snicker.
Looking at Dante, she was surprised to see him get along with them so quick. But she liked that he was finding a place with her group so soon. Plus she definitely had no problem with that. Taking her soaked cigarettes out of her pocket, Lian threw them right at Sky's stomach and kneeled by Dante. "Mind if I bum one? Unfortunately mine are all wet." She wasn't flirting with him... OK at least not noticeably. She just really didn't feel like going all the way back to her room to get a new pack.

Snickering, Liv watched as the girl… Ripple begged a cigarette off Dante. Tough Stuff looked so unenthused that Liv couldn’t help but make mock-kissy faces at him over Ripple’s shoulder. Flirting was not Liv’s jam, and Ripple was welcome to make a fool of herself all by her lonesome. Besides, Liv didn't go for the bad boys. If she was going to get into trouble, it was going to be by her own hand, not because of some Dallas Winston wannabe. No matter how pretty his eyes were. Grinning, she leaned back against a piling, careful to keep herself firmly on the dock and far enough from Chase to ensure that she would stay dry. Liv sloshed the remainder of her beer around inside the bottle and forced herself to relax. For two-leggers, these people were alright. Since the mutation she tended to gravitate toward Animals, but Chase, Dante... Sky, she liked them. Maybe. She hadn’t decided yet. They were honest. They weren't offering any of that fake, overly sweet, ‘nice to meet you’ bullshit that made her teeth ache and her blood-sugar skyrocket. True, she’d immediately taken with Maddy and k’8, but there had been nothing false and sugary about them, either. Edgy and enthusiastic, more like. And Lorelai… well, she hadn’t been super friendly, but she’d been welcoming in her own PSA sort of way. These people... were making her work for it and Liv loved a challenge. It was like any herd, flock, or pack… Liv was going to have to earn her place among them. That was fine with her. She'd show them soon enough that she was no princess. Livi, Cuil was circling overhead, his beady eyes sharp. Your flock is fierce, the sparrow told her simply. A warrior flock.She couldn’t help but grin at that. Liv put out her hand and let Cuil perch there. “Of course they’re warriors, Cuil. They’re Paragons.” She made sure she looked at Chase when she said it, letting him know that he hadn’t fooled her for a moment. With the exception of Gooey Ricki, the group she’d stumbled upon all shared the same cool, in control attitudes that Liv already associated with the team. A satisfied smile softened her usual smirk and Liv moved Cuil to her shoulder where the little bird immediately started pecking at loose curls. Liv had found her team. She couldn’t wait to tell Nightcrawler. Content, Liv sipped at her beer and glanced around. “So, anyone care to fill in the new girl?” she asked, absently drumming her hand against the dock. “Anything I should worry about while I’m here?”
