"Hmph... Yes, of course." The blonde relents, fury quenched by her daughter's embarrassment. "I, uh, understand your irritation, ma'am." Mouse says in her best 'girl scout' voice, though clearly it doesn't come naturally. "I doubt they'll make another attempt today, but I should probably stick close by, just in case." Mouse suggests, and Sophia's mother simply nods. Finally, she turns, heading back to the house. "Phew. That was worse than the electrocution."
Following suit, he’s impressed by the sensation of all the creases and roughness of the wood. It all gave him the idea that the fights might be more fun than he thought if he could feel the impact of properly punching his opponent.
"This is the first time I've seen you in a year. And I thought I lost you. I just...you can cramp my style all you like." Rebecca says earnestly. "Anyway, whatever, time to introduce you to whoever's up there." She continues walking up the stairs, skirt flowing hypnotically over the curve of her ass, which, the youth notes, has developed in much the same manner as her chest.
Miriam nods. "I believe I'm generally better in a supporting role. Tactically, it would make the most sense if I'm positioned behind you, I believe." The nerdy, curvy girl says in an analytical manner, as Lucas gets ready to fling open the heavy wooden doors.
“I just need to keep you safe then?” He teased her a little bit, but the only thing that could override his desires right now was that it was overtaken by his desire for a fight.
The young man chuckled as Rebecca told they were just aping a movie, before they entered the room. He waved his hand to the bunch as Rebecca introduced him, trying to memorise their names quickly."This is the first time I've seen you in a year. And I thought I lost you. I just...you can cramp my style all you like." Rebecca says earnestly. "Anyway, whatever, time to introduce you to whoever's up there." She continues walking up the stairs, skirt flowing hypnotically over the curve of her ass, which, the youth notes, has developed in much the same manner as her chest.
Heading to the door of an old teacher's lounge, Victor gets a whiff of pot smoke, as Rebecca knocks on the door and asks if the inhabitants are cool with two more guests. A grunt is the reply, apparently in the affirmative, as Rebecca goes to open the door fully. "Punks." She announces to him. "You ask me, they're all just copying that punk guy in that superhero flick a few months back." She rolls her eyes, before opening the door. Two old couches haphazardly surround a coffee table, upon which a bong rests, and a cloud of smoke flies out of the room.
"Hey, everyone. This is my cousin, Victor. Victor, may I introduce..." Rebecca begins.
The young Asian man's tattoo shifts slightly as he nods his head at Victor. "His tattoo comes to life - it's actually really cool. Thought of a code name yet?" Rebecca asks. "Nope." Tsuya gives a monosyllabic answer. "He's a great conversationalist, as you can see." Rebecca adds dryly.

"Top o' the mornin' to ye!" Rebecca chimes in an exaggerated Irish accent, earning her two middle fingers from the Celtic woman. "If I hear the words 'pot of gold' come out of your mouth one more time, Rebecca, I'm going to punch your teeth in." Siobahn says in a much less fake Irish accent. "Oops, I better stop before she gets out the shillelagh!" Rebecca chuckles as Siobahn groans. "You know I could murder you and Professor Winters would probably cover for me, right?" There's a brief silence. "Nice to meet ya, Victor. Now tell your sister to feck off."
"He's from, um..." Rebecca looks around in embarrassment. "Altis IV. I'm an...alien, I guess. Weird - you never really think of yourself as one of those." He says casually. "Pleased to have made your acquaintance, Victor. Oh, and if you ever meet anyone else from my species, kill them." He says, not elaborating.

"Shit, he's cute, Becca. Innocent lookin, too. Where you been hidin' him?" Lin cuts Rebecca off before she can say anything more than her name. "Why don't you come sit with me, hon?" She pats the seat beside her.
“Yeah, sorry about that. Mom cam be... a little overprotective at times...” Sophia gave an embarrassed chuckle. “Anyway, time to get back to the reason I came here in the first place...” Searching around she quickly found where she had dropped the shed keys earlier and picked them up, then proceeded to unlock the shed. Opening the door she began looking for the decorations her mother had asked for.
"I-I think I'd like a proper date." Mags replied and,although surprised by his forwardness in putting his arm around her waist, didn't object, even lightly pressing herself into his side as they walked.
"I wouldn't complain if you did." Miriam shoots back, and nods that she's ready, heading behind Lucas. Gripping the handles, Lucas heaves, and pulls the great wooden doors towards him revealing the interior of the temple.
Lin scoots over towards him, rubbing up against him a little bit on the couch. Luckily, Siobahn doesn't seem to mind when his eyes drift, or even mention it. "Relaxing." She gestures to the couches and the bong, as Rebecca takes a seat next to her. "We just got through the first of the team matches. Hard fighting requires hard relaxation afterwards."
There."I wouldn't complain if you did." Miriam shoots back, and nods that she's ready, heading behind Lucas. Gripping the handles, Lucas heaves, and pulls the great wooden doors towards him revealing the interior of the temple.
Strange. He'd assumed that somebody would be here...
Lucas becomes conscious of something moving about in the rafters above him, shielded by darkness.1 Success
Hamamoto and Mei share a look, but evidently don't see the need to push. "You're right. Forget I said anything."
"No problem - not the first time a mom's gotten pissed to find me with her daughter. First time in this context, though." Mouse chuckles as well, helping Sophia grab the boxes of decorations before bringing them back to the house. "You have any idea who was coming after you?" She asks as they walk back. "The uniforms, and the whole...melting...thing didn't ring any bells for me."
“Really, now.” Sophia raised an eyebrow, then chuckled as well.
"Well in that case, I guess it's my heroic duty to rescue the lady from her hunger." Moving through the streets with her on his arm, Mark leads her to a food stand, where a man in Japanese clothing works a fryer. "I know a restaurant is more traditional for a date, but trust me - you have to try this. Best Takoyaki in the city." Mags has little frame of reference, but she can't deny that the balls of fried squid are pretty damn mouthwatering. They sit down on a bench to eat, Mark subtly using his power to flatten out the anti-homeless spikes, as he speaks to her. For all his confidence, he doesn't seem to have a lot of ego - as he speaks to her, he mostly keeps the conversation about her, listening intently and with seemingly genuine interest as she talks about her life with Violet, her interests, her judo training, etc.
Lin's hand brushes along Victor's thigh, and she smirks at his nervousness. Looking at Rebecca, Victor sees a flash of...was that jealousy? It disappears quickly. "Yep - been thinking about what to call ourselves." Siobahn motions to the bong in a feel free gesture, before continuing. "We won, yeah, but it was a hell of a fight. People get real competitive over these fights."
He groaned. These attacks looked kind of painful. And he didn’t really want to test how not painful they would be in the simulation. It was obvious the ninja didn’t want to get close so he somewhat reluctantly lifted his arm in the air and closed his fist, aiming to bring the rafters and roof down on where they were hiding without trying to completely shatter the area right on top of him and Miri either.
