Damion Strife 130 Posted August 4, 2012 "Alrighty then!" ,Felix said smiling. He set his hands on fire, then pulled the bread from the oven, and set it on the stove top. "See I found a way to keep myself from getting burned!" ,he said laughing, "Food must be almost done huh? Well let's set the table and wait on Callum." Scott shrugged. "Well there's no rollercoaster here, but there is one down the road near the Vegas strip," he said laughing. He swam around her and then down to the other end. He swam back and said, "Alright. Waves or no waves?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Always 309 Posted August 4, 2012 Alexis’s eyes lit up. “Waves,” she responded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 4, 2012 "Alright!" ,Scott shouted happily. He jumped out, then ran over to a control switch, and the waves started. He then bolted towards the pool and jumped in the deep end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Always 309 Posted August 4, 2012 Alexis swam around in the waves for a good while. Of course, it was more challenging this way, but it felt great. She eventually emerged, breathless and exhilarated. She lay just on the edge of the pool, smiling and allowing the sun to dry her off. This was a different kind of fun to her. It had been a while since she had experienced it. She had forgotten how enjoyable it could be. Though, of course, still not nearly as enjoyable as her usual routine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 4, 2012 After an hour of swimming in the waves Scott turned off the machine and changed. "Come on, let's go humble the masses," he said with a laugh. He felt more at home back in his suit, and especially since Alexis was having some fun. He liked that...weird he'd never used that word in his life. Still, he walked down to the same room he'd let Alexis train, but this time it was filled with men in orange jumpsuits. "Gentlemen, tonight is a special night. It's the first night that I share with my new partner, and your new executive. I want you to all welcome Alexis! Oh, and I've prepared a great feast for you all in honor of this occasion. Not to mention, there will be all sorts of live entertainment, but first. It's time for you to meet the little lady," Scott said taking a bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FFxChainlessSoulxKH 56 Posted August 4, 2012 Alex got the drinks and put them on the table. He got Felix's Mr Pubb and himself som coke. "Hey Rebekah, what do you want to drink?" He asked her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Always 309 Posted August 4, 2012 (Okay, everyone, finally introducing Matthew! A lot of what I've written here for his introduction was Not-with-a-whimper's idea. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png) Alexis got up to change as well. This time, she picked out a more formal outfit--black slacks and flats, a light blue camisole, and black blazer. She also put her hair up in a messy bun, adding a few cheery clips to it. She then entered the training room on Scott’s cue, smiling pleasantly at all the orange-suited men and greeting them. “It’s nice to meet all of you,” she said. “Unfortunately, I’m not great at delivering introductory speeches about myself, and I don’t really have anything terribly elaborate prepared for you tonight. But I think Scott here will forgive me for that. He knows that I’m more of a cut-to-the-chase type of person.” She gave Scott a quick glance, waiting for the go-ahead to slaughter. ------------------------------------------------------------ “I do believe I’ll have some lemonade if we’ve got any of that,” Rebekah replied to Alex. “What about you, Callum?” ------------------------------------------------------------ One shot. That was all Matthew had. If he couldn’t make this one, it was all over. Matthew looked at him straight between the eyes. Deep breath in, then out. “You sure you can do this, mate? You know, you could just walk away now,” his buddy Jack said. Too late. We’ve passed the point of no return here. It’s all or nothing now, Matthew responded. A fly landed on his forehead, but he refused to even twitch. He narrowed his eyes, took aim, and squeezed the trigger at the last possible moment... The tiny skeleton pirate target fell back, and congratulatory bells rang. The guy running this particular arcade game, a little younger than Matthew himself, came up and shook his hand vigorously. “Wow, I’ve only seen a handful of people hit that target, but I’ve never seen anyone hit it directly in the middle like that! That was amazing!” He went back behind the counter and produced a pirate hat, a low-scale replica of Captain Jack Sparrow’s leather hat in Pirates of the Caribbean. “Thanks, man,” Matthew replied, taking the hat and bowing. “I do tend to amaze people from time to time.” With that, he exited the amusement park, having had his fun for the day. “Well, not quite what I’m accustomed to, but I suppose it’ll have to do,” Jack remarked. I did what I could, my friend. As he walked, he soon sensed that he was being followed. Nothing terribly shocking there. He whirled around very suddenly, catching his follower off-guard so that the man didn’t have time to hide before Matthew caught sight of him. “What, do you want the hat? Get your own!” The man regained his composure and spoke smugly to Matthew, approaching him slowly. “That was a very impressive shot back there at the amusement park. You seem to be a great fit for the description of one gambler who owes quite a bit of money to my boss. But hey, I’ll tell you what: sign me a check for seven hundred grand right now, and I’ll lose any memory of having seen you. If not, well, I’ve got several friends that I can call to surround you, and you’ll be meeting with my boss in the next couple hours.” Matthew crossed his arms and bowed his head, as if thinking deeply about what the man was saying to him. He then looked up and replied, “Give me a few minutes alone to weigh those options.” With that, he leaped over someone’s backyard fence and started running as fast as he could, cutting through yards and dodging kids and dogs and grills. He could hear angry yelling not far behind him. 1 Not-with-a-whimper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number XV 490 Posted August 4, 2012 Callum replied as he finished the spaghetti, "Dr. Pepper, if you have it." He heard Vanitas stifle a laugh. 'What's so funny, Vanitas?' 'It's just, I remember you getting so hyper from it and embarrassing yourself, at only 15. You were such a dunce then.' Callum's entire face went red, and hoping no one noticed, he put the spaghetti on the table. "Dinner's here. Help yourself." Joy smiled. "You know, practice, like fighting each other. And I guess we can experiment with the X-blade when we get there." Reilly arrived at the town right after Felix and the brats left. So Felix was friends with the mayor, huh? Reilly would have to get closer to the mayor, then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not-with-a-whimper 144 Posted August 4, 2012 "Hey, sounds good to me," stated Troy, ready to be doing something, anything productive. "So are we going to be staying with your family, Joy, or are we going to have to find a place and get jobs? I've been homeschooled by my nanny for quite a while, but my parents have sent me tons of money, like they think that the money alone will make up for their absence. I figure that it would help out in this situation." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number XV 490 Posted August 4, 2012 Joy shrugged. "I guess it's what you want to do. It's not like it's going to be easy telling my parents what happened, and it might break their heart to tell them about my leg and leaving. Drama, yadda, yadda, yadda. I would stay somewhere else, visit my parents, and lie about like me having a job or something, and I can only visit." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 4, 2012 "Alright let's dig in!!" Felix shouted. He looked at his plate and then at Rebekah's. "I'll go last, you guys fill your plates," he said casually. Scott nodded at her and then snapped. All of the doors were locked, and the inmates became furious. They started running at Scott and Alexis full speed with their fists raised.

Always 309 Posted August 4, 2012 Rebekah smiled and squeezed Felix’s hand. Seeing as no one was really making a move to go first, she went ahead and filled her own plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. “Well, I think for a group of adventurers with Inhabiters, we sure know how to make a great dinner,” she remarked. “Come on, guys, you’d better eat before the food gets cold!” ------------------------------------------------------------ Something had been bugging Mariah for a while now; she didn’t know much about Joy’s family. And now they were going to be in the same area. She had to know, especially since Joy was so much a part of her life now. “Joy...why aren’t you very close to your family?” she asked quietly. ------------------------------------------------------------ Alexis smirked and threw off her blazer, then drew Larxene’s knives, her eyes gleaming. She threw lightning at the first row of oncoming inmates, then warped behind all of them and started slashing at them with her knives. She stabbed, slashed, warped, hurled lightning, and kicked the inmates to the ground, finishing them off one by one, laughing the entire time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number XV 490 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Joy swallowed. "Well, I guess they weren't the perfect parents. We argued a lot. It's not like they were horrible to me, I just didn't... care about them. I guess that's the real reason we're going here. Maybe I can make up with them. This whole time I've been selfish, and I apologize. Get a new leg, and visit my family." Callum didn't really like how his spaghetti tasted, but the rest was great. He finished fast, and stood up. "I guess I'll be in my room if you need me." He took the stairs two at a time, and fell on his bed. He just wanted quiet, feeling so lonely in a group where it seemed everyone already knew each other.

FFxChainlessSoulxKH 56 Posted August 5, 2012 Alex got the food and gave Rebekah and Callum their drinks. He sat down with spaghetti, bread and a salad at his plate. He took a bite of the spaghetti. "Wow this I really good!" He smiled and ate more. 'geez who thought we could cook?' 'well salads are easy, not too much too it' 'still everything is so good, nice job Axel.' Roxas said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 5, 2012 "Thanks man! But...It was Felix who cooked. I just kinda co-pioleted," Axel said laughing. "Now, I'm gonna get some of this stuff!" Felix said. He scooped up a good portion of everything, and ate his fill. The food was great, the company was fantastic, but something was up. Callum left a little early...and Felix thought he knew why. So he ate faster, went to his room, and changed. He was wearing some red and white swimming trunks he'd got for the trip. He didn't care about showing his scars, he didn't think anyone would care to see them out in the sunlight, but then he walked into Callum's room. "Hey man, wanna go swim with us? I know we don't really know eachother well, but I'd like to know ya a bit more," he said casually, "If you don't want to, I'll understand, and I can leave ya up here for a bit. I mean...we're kind of a big familly now. We need to get to know eachother." Scott watched and laughed. Every once in a while an inmate would run up to him, and he'd put him down with a few punches. But watching Alexis kill them was the highlight of his day, and it got him thinking. If she was good enough to do all this to these guys...what could she do to a group of kids by his side? His mind was now made up. It was time she got her wish...as soon as she wanted to clean up, the two of them would go down south, and see where exactly those brats were hiding.

Number XV 490 Posted August 5, 2012 Callum nodded. "Thanks. I think I packed a swimsuit in here." He looked through the bag, and pulled out a black one with red stripes. He walked into the bathroom, changed, and then was out again. He observed how scrawny he looked, but looked back at Felix. "Yeah, I'm ready to go." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 5, 2012 "Sweet man!! Don't worry, after this time here you'll have a beach body that'll make Van's fangirls squeel," Felix said holding a thumb's up. He then slid down the rail and walked around the dinner table. "Callum and me are gonna go for a swim. If ya'll go change you're completly welcome to join in!" ,he said smiling. He ran out the back door like a mad man and jumped into the pool's 6ft side, and holy crap was it cold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FFxChainlessSoulxKH 56 Posted August 5, 2012 "Swimming awesome!" Alex ran to his room and changed. He looked at how average hi body really was. He ran outside and laughed as he saw Felix freezing his butt off. He sat on the edge wanting to get used tithe water first before he jumped in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number XV 490 Posted August 5, 2012 Callum ran outside too, feeling like being dumb wasn't something he could normally do. He jumped in, freezing his butt off. He leaned against the wall, smiling a bit. "You know, I always wanted to join my middle school swim team. Just didn't have the time or skill I guess."

FFxChainlessSoulxKH 56 Posted August 5, 2012 "Skill? You don't need skill to swim. All you need to do is know how to swim." Alex laid his head on his hand. His feet were numb by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 5, 2012 "Holy crap guys!! I got an idea.....BURRN THE WATER!!" Felix said maniacly. He then heated the pool with his hands until it was a warm enough temperature. "Why didn't I think of that sooner??" ,he asked himself. 'Cuz your an idiot,' Axel said bluntly. 'Shut it,' Felix grumbled. 'Make me,' Axel dared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FFxChainlessSoulxKH 56 Posted August 5, 2012 'don't fight you two. You guys sound like kids' Roxas stated "Sweet!" Alex backed up and did a cannon ball in the water. He popped his head out and breathed the air. "that was a great idea Felix" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damion Strife 130 Posted August 5, 2012 "Man...alright..." Axel said with a huff. "Thanks man!!" Felix said smiling. He swam over to the 4 ft side and said, "Dude...Callum maybe we could go to the beach some time this week and see how far we can swim!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number XV 490 Posted August 5, 2012 Callum smiled. "I'd like that. Maybe I could get far." He swam to the back end, and just rested. He couldn't rest since a long time ago, he was always moving around. But now that he was with friends. Could he call them that? Don't be fooled Callum. You'll save the world, and never see them again. They're not your friends. Callum laughed sarcastically. And you are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
