Epic M&M: Issue 3 (IC)

[Calinon]

Vince

"You know Underworld isnt that bad if you just accept it as entertainment value and not take it too seriously. I guess the whole thing hits a little too close to home for you though, eh Cos?"

"How's the wing," he says semi-sarcastically, shaking his head like you've lost your mind. "How the hell could you even think of watching that and not freak out?"

Michelle

How did X do in the soccer game anyways

"He knocked Martin out with a ball, and I saw him and Monica going into the gym alone a few minutes ago," she says with a grin. "She's probably hunting again. Hope she doesn't hurt him too much, after Cosmo dumped her last week. She's still mad about that."

X12

"I... I..." X12 stammers, rolling onto his stomach. "I'm at EPIC... I'm not there anymore... they can't hurt me anymore... they can't hurt me anymore..." X12 starts repeating over and over, as he starts crawling towards the exit sign.

"And where do you think you're going," Monica says with kind of a purr. "You don't get out until you promise to help me get on the team." You feel her grab your ankle and calf, stopping you from moving. You can feel her nails scrape over your socks as she gets a good grip.

Monica hits with a 16. You lose the opposed grapple check with a 15 versus 18, and she has a good hold of your leg, but inflicts no damage on you.

Sanjay
You keep going over the email in your head, wondering what's going to happen. Over across the way, you can see into Michelle's room, where she's stuffing an ungodly amount of roses and their respective vases into garbage bags in a huff.

Just down a little ways, you see Sanchez pulling the drapes on Anna's room.

Who knew Sanjay was such a Voyeur?

"Whoa, hang on a minute." Michelle says coming to a halt. "What do you mean hunting and why would she hurt X?"

"Whoa, hang on a minute." Michelle says coming to a halt. "What do you mean hunting and why would she hurt X?"

"Remember the bugs at the hospital?" Tara grins.

"I doubt she'll hurt him. She's probably just... you know," she says with a blush. "Hope she keeps her claws in. I'm pretty sure that's why Cosmo dumped her."

"Oh," Michelle says kind of confused until her face lights up, you can almost see the light bulb turn on. "Ooohhh, well he does heal pretty quick so maybe it won't matter if she does or not." She adds laughing

"On... the team..." X12 says questioningly, still clenching his teeth, biting back his instincts to fight and flee.

"On... the team..." X12 says questioningly, still clenching his teeth, biting back his instincts to fight and flee.

"Now you're getting it," she says, and then you're airborn again, landing on something softer this time. A wrestling mat maybe? The fact that you fly about thirty feet doesn't help your disorientation go away. You see her eyes glowing, then they're gone.

Whump!

Something lands heavily on either side of your chest, then something lands with a thump on your stomach.

"You sure aren't trying like you did on the field," Monica says from her new perch. She grabs your wrists and pushes your hands to the mat. Her hands feel odd, like she's wearing lumpy leather gloves, and her finger nails scratch your skin, causing some irritation. Something furred twitches against the outside of your leg.

"So I show up a week late and miss out getting in with the in-crowd. Now you all get cool uniforms and get to play hero? How fair is that? I tried to convince Cosmo, but his brother threatened to kill me if I scratched him up again," she growls with annoyance. "Who needs that, right? But you seem much more reasonable," she purrs into your face. Something hairlike and stiff brushes your cheek.

"So, think you can get me on the team? If I ask nicely?" she asks. Something wet and cold touches your nose and you feel her breath on your face.

X12 inhales deeply as the reality of the situation sets in, then relaxes. "You missed out, and that's unfortunate," he says. "But this is all getting too physical too quickly... and I never get physical with anyone quickly.

"I don't know why you think you would need to resort to such a direct, physical approach -- if you want my help, all you need to do is ask and I'll help you... but this is not the way to get what you want from me."

"Maybe I want something else from you to, hmm?" she says with a low growl. That something by your leg thumps against you again.

Your mind suddenly starts racing through a possibility. Leathery hands, long, sharp nails, scratchy hairs, furry something banging on your... a tail!? She's a cat!?!

"But whatever," she says, suddenly letting go of your wriests and leaning on her elbows on your chest. It's rather uncomfortable for you, and all you can actually see is her lightning filled eyes. And they are definitely feline looking.

"So all I gotta do is ask huh? Ok, lets see... what to ask for first..." she ponders, staring intently at you, making you feel distinctly mouselike. After a minute she sighs and sits up again. "You aren't as fun as Cosmo, but at least you're not a jerk, and you don't have an ass for a brother. So I just have to ask huh? I can do that. Can you please help me get on the hero team?"

When you get into your room, it's humid, like someone just took a shower. And lo and behold, someone did. Dara is standing in your bathroom, wearing one of your home made shirts that comes down to behind her knees and hangs off one of her shoulders. Her hair is still damp and hangs down past her shoulders. She's brushing her teeth. You hope she went and got her own toothbrush.

Can you believe him? Send us away? I'll kick his butt too if he doesn't watch it. He thinks he's so smart. I'll show him! she thinks to you as she brushes her teeth.

She bends over and rinses and you see your toothbrush holder... empty. You also notice you aren't stepping on your clothes everywhere. It's very clean. Everything is picked up and put away.

Dara turns around. "I don't know who made such a mess in here, but I'm going to kick their butts too. Prolly some stupid boy. I'll find out though, as soon as I alter some of my clothes to fit better," she says, tugging at the extremely overlarge shirt. "Ok, I'm ready, lets go! They're playin' football out there and I wanna see!"

Raisa snaps.

Not bothering to hide the furious frown on her face, she picks Dara up only to plunk her down into the chair at her desk. Turning it around Raisa towers over her. "Okay, I can't take anymore! This is seriously starting to freak me out!

You are not Raisa, this is not your room, those are not your clothes, that was not your toothbrush!!" She crouches down in front of the chair. "You're stronger than this Dara, but if you're can't realize that something is broken inside that head and that you need some help, then I'll drag you to Ms. Desrochers myself! I've had one psychotic telepath in my head, I won't have another! Especially one that can't control herself!!"

She fights to calm herself. "I know this isn't exactly fun time for you and it's got to be a confusing mess in that brain of yours, but Dara, you need help!"

"Of course I can - you're strong, agile, and definitely a capable athlete. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't give you a chance to join the team," X12 says.

"I would like to ask you a favor in return, though -- I need a training partner. I have several regimens I would like to add to my training: blind-fighting, mapping assailants using my enhanced scent, and adding electrical resistance sessions. I was going to ask the instructors about who I should approach... but you would seem to be an excellent partner for all everything I was looking to add.

"If you don't feel comfortable training with me, that's fine -- I'm not looking for a trade -- I'll help you with getting a spot on the team regardless."
