The ReCreation RP Chapter 4: Nontraveling Circus

[Malachy19]

Rob has taken a seat on the ground next to Amelia. He had spent the last couple of hours thinking and taking all of this in. He had tried talking to Amelia but all his efforts had returned very little, if any, gains. He began to wonder if anything would help her get out of the shock and then Roan spoke to them about what had been done to them. He looked over to Amelia with a heavy heart. Did she know the worry and sympathy he was feeling towards her right now? And even if she knew it, could she understand it? She seemed to have a general idea what was going on but what exactly was the extent of her mental overload?

He mentally cursed the people who had done this to them. What was the point of it all? He began to reach his hand out to place it on Amelia's shoulder consolingly but then stopped. He managed not to destroy the backpack when he grabbed it and he had done his best not to touch anything else at the apartment but what would happen if he touched Amelia?

He clenched his fist and brought it back to his side before standing up. He looked down at her and then stepped away a bit off to the side and away from everyone. He slipped his hands into his pockets and stood there, making sure he didn't touch anyone.

"Marvel is so going to sue us for copyright infringement"

[The kool]

Al shook his head. "No, Gambit could move things. Rob just blows them up."

[Cheez]

Rhi sighed. "Right. I guess it was too much to ask for to have some kind of explanation why they did this crap to us."

She briefly turned pastel green, then she grimaced, frowned and returned to her default transparent colour. "That is really freakin' annoying..." she muttered.

[Piane]

"Whatever the reason, it was probably something out of the big book of cliché." Jon said, sitting carefully still, so he wouldn't puncture the chair he was using. "But I'm more curious how long we've been in that place." He pulled his watch out of his bag, and tossed in back in. "Dead." He pulled out his laptop and the power cord, "Is there an outlet nearby?"

[Cheez]

"Point." Rhi turned to Drake. "What's the date?"

[Drayco]

"It's..." Roan blinked. "...October 20th. We went on the trip on the 6th..." He paled slightly. "We've been missing there for two weeks..."

[Piane]

"Hm, well this wasn't something they could've done overnight. Now I need to log onto the 'net to check a few things... Do we have a outlet and 'net connection in this room?"

[Helseth]

Following Roan's datadump Ian stared at the webbing on his hand

Superficially amphibious? Does that mean I can't breathe underwater? Although apparently i can move it round.

[Author-Man]

Maxi grunted. "... God, I need a f**king smoke," she muttered, almost inaudibly. And since she was off in a corner, on her own, she was probably not overheard.

[Drayco]

Drake headed back down soon enough, wearing a red t-shirt and jeans. He was also carrying a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies and a mostly-full gallon of milk with a stack of cups balanced on top. "Hey, who wants a pick-me-up?" He said, setting the cookies and milk on the available table. "I guarantee they contain no weed, since Bobby is not here."

[Kum-El]

Adam snatches a cookie.

[Piane]

Jon realized his question would never be answered. "No thanks; I'm never hungry when I'm in a bad mood."

[Author-Man]

"Too bad. I could use some mind alteration right about now." Maxi got up, and pulled out the pack of cigarettes, looking at them contemplatively.

"I'm gonna go out and catch a smoke. Don't follow me."

[Drayco]

Drake shrugs. "Try and look like a bad anime convention fangirl, with those ears." He smirks, snickering lightly, grabbing a cookie for himself.

Roan heads over and grabs a large handful of cookies and a cup of milk, then heads back over to the couch. He seems contemplative, but his rather notorious sweet tooth still seems unaffected.

[nightshadow]

Suddenly, there came the ringing of a doorbell.

[The kool]

Al fills himself a glass of milk, grabs a sizable stack of cookies, and returns to his seat to consume them.

[Drayco]

Drake looks over, and heads out front to get the door. Maxi, meanwhile, could casually walk back out the back door to smoke.

[Cameo]

Amelia had been in the process of reaching over to grab some cookies; when the doorbell rang, she froze absolutely still, then moved over to the doorway with wariness radiating from every pore, looking as if she was following a faint, distant sound. "We don't want what he's selling," she muttered to herself, "the Pandora's box that keeps on giving... It's a disappointment. You get what you wanted and you find it's not what you wanted at all."

[Author-Man]

Maxi did just that!

[Cheez]

Rhi, too, froze momentarily at the sound of the door being knocked. She then shrank back into the nearest available corner.

[mandros]

Will froze at the sound of the doorbell. Immediately returning to his seat. "oh please let it just be girl scouts selling cookies. that would be a nice surprise for a change"

[Kum-El]

"What do we do if it isn't?" Adam asks nervously.

[The kool]

"Run," Al said. He looked around, then added, "What, would you rather stick around and get shot at again?"

[Helseth]

Ian paused as he reached for a cookie, turning to stare at the door.

"We could always try to beat the crap out of who ever it is, provided they deserve it. We all now have an idea what we can do."
