Synopsis: Some New Mutants chat by the fire.
Cast of Characters: Elixir, Twitch, Souvenir, Rage




Elixir has posed:
There is a camp fire already under way, casting the beach near Josh in orange, red and yellow. The moon is fresh and casts its reflection on the lake. Along the shore at a distance, well out of ear shot, are other fires, other groups of students taking advantage of the night. Josh is in camo shorts, flip flops and a plain yellow t-shirt, lying on his back watching the smoke rise.

Twitch has posed:
There's no excuse for being inside on a night like tonight. At least not to Tyler. The young man has opted to join his buddy Josh at a camp fire. "Hey man," he calls out as he approaches through the darkness, wearing a tank top, kickboxing shorts and flip flops. "How's it going?" asks Tyler as he moves towards Josh and sits down nearby, watching the flames.

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir wanders through, then turns toward the fire. She is damp, wearing a clingy emerald one piece swimsuit and is barefoot. She lacks her usual eyeliner, but her lashes are still very thick and expressive on their own.

She smiles some and waves, drifting that way. "Hey." and looks around a bit.

Elixir has posed:
Josh sits up when Tyler arrives. "Hey Ty," he says. "Doing alright," he says, looking pensive. "You? Get any training in today?"

He looks over when Erika comes along. "Geez, isn't the lake freezing?" He asks her with a lopsided grin, waving her over to the fire.

Twitch has posed:
When he hears Erika's 'Hey' Tyler turns and looks at the young woman, showing her a smile and lifting his chin, "Hey. How are you doing?" His eyes perhaps linger a moment longer than might be normal to take in her swimsuit. "Yeah, come over and warm up."

"I'm doing well," Tyler says to Josh. "I went back to my gym in the city for a while. Got to roll with a few of the guys, managed to submit or choke most of them without really using my powers. At least that I could tell."

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir ehhs... "Kinda, but it was worth a try. I mean, it's not TOO awful, but yeah, it's cold." She hugs herself a bit. Brr. Also, trying not to be too obviously female and chilled in front of the boys. She is sort of lacking in curviness, but with a swimsuit, and cold wind, it doesn't take much.

She sighs a bit. "I was hoping it was a little bit less annoyingly cold so I could at least float a bit instead of having to slosh around. I was trying something, but I couldn't even find a private enough spot." Hmph.

Elixir has posed:
"Nice," he compliments Tyler. "I wish I learned grappling. Did karate, and it was great... Until the fight goes to the ground, you know?"

"Yeah, there's always someone around," he says to Erika, wondering just what she was planning on trying. "The lake's really popular. You should see it on the weekends. You get any sleep last night?"

Rage has posed:
Making her way to the lake is Andrea, dressed in a pair of torn at the knees jeans and a baggy sweater over her person. Her hair is pulled up behind her in a pony tail with a couple of bangs to frame her face.

Twitch has posed:
"It sucks that there's not a more private spot for you to try doing your thing," Tyler says to Erika with a faint frown. "I'd offer to help, but I can't think how." He leans back and rests his weight on the palms of his hands.

Nodding to Josh the other guy grins, "Just ask and I'll start showing you Brazilian jiu jitsu. It's the ground fighting system of choice. Even the Army uses a system based on it."

When Andrea walks their way Tyler grins at her, "Hey. How are you doing?"

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir mehs, "Well yeah, eventually. I'm just sick of having to wait for Miss Betsy to have time for me just so I can sleep. I talked to Miss Ororo in the kitchen."

No comment on what she was trying to accomplish here. She hushes and looks over at Andrea quietly, tilting her head. "Heey. Everything okay?"

Elixir has posed:
"That'd be really cool, I...."

Josh looks over a little too quickly at the mention of Andrea. A rash of emotions flicker across his face, settling on a half-guarded smile.

"Hey," he says.

Rage has posed:
"Hey guys." Andrea says as she approaches the lake, giving a glance about the three of them. "Everything is fine. Just been doing a lot of thinking. Got a chance to work with Miss Munroe on some things. You guys are gonna be so jealous."

Twitch has posed:
"We'll get started whenever you want to, man," Tyler says to Josh with a smile.

Glancing at Erika, then at Andrea, Tyler speaks, "I don't I've met either of them yet. Are they cool?" Then with a greater focus on Andrea, "What did you learn?"

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir ooohs? "Really?" She glances between the boys and Andrea, trying to figure out what's going on there. She shivers a little and bounces in place, keeping her arms tightly crossed, and looks back at Andrea.

To Tyler, she shrugs one shoulder lightly. "She seems nice, I just don't like when people tell me when to go to bed if I can't sleep yet."

Elixir has posed:
"Seriously, move closer, you'll actually warm up," Josh says to Erika, teasingly. "It won't bite."

He gets up and crouches by the fire, adding another log from the pile he brought out, waiting to hear what Andrea has to say.

Rage has posed:
"I've decided to pull my head out of my ass with some help from Miss Munroe. She goes by Storm by the way, of the X-Men. She took me downstairs to the lower levels where they have this thing called the Danger Room. It's a /huge/ dome that is ... like the holodeck from Star Trek. She gave me a private lesson in there, made me come to terms with a few things about myself, shit I'm working through and hanging on to that I need to just let go." Andrea cracks her neck to the side. "Also, the Danger Room is crazy. I felt like I was in a different world. You can create /anything/ in there and it's realistic." She tips her chin upwards a bit with a smile along her face. "So, no more doubts now. At least for the moment, but it's good to know I have someone I can go to for support."

Twitch has posed:
Yeah, get closer to the fire, please," Tyler says to Erika, waving her towards where he's sitting. "At least until you dry off." The young man shows a big grin. "We can even cuddle, if you want to." Then he says with a more serious tone of voice, "I bet the staff will be more tolerant of your sleep thing once they know about it. They're here to help us all with our various weirdness."

"Whoa! That's bitchin'," Tyler declares when he hears Andrea talk about her experience. "I'm glad you're not doubting yourself any more. I really want you around." He starts to smile again, "I'm glad you got yourself a sort of mentor who you can go to."

Souvenir has posed:
Erika Kristasdottir hmphs and shuffles closer, drying out a little bit more, then glances at Tyler's suggestion in faint, mostly but not completely concealed horror.

She faces Andrea and uncrosses her arms. "Oh snap! That is so awesome. I wonder if it would make a bed I could sleep on. Or I could like... I don't know yet. Uh."

Elixir has posed:
Josh rolls his eyes at Tyler, then looks across the fire at Andrea consideringly. He seems to make a decision and half nods to himself.

He tosses a twig at Andrea. "I knew you were in there," he grouses, but with a smile.
