Welcome to Gaia! ::

a.k.a. Warp

"For the first night at least you can go," Warp answered. "I wouldn't have invited you unless I intended to let you go..."

Then, he glanced up as Shadow Walker entered the room and sat down, "Ah, there you are. Are you sure Cassie said pink? I don't think I ever remembered her wearing for the color. I suppose tastes do change, though..."

With a shrug he continued, "Anyways, I was speaking to Calamity about bringing him along for the camping trip for the first night or so. Do you want to go as well during the same time? I, of course, still want at least a day of just family time, but I could still have that with you two coming for the first day or so of the trip. The beaches are one of those unappreciated gems of Genosha. And, if you did chose not to block or erase your memories of how you got here you need to directly confront your fears, including water, eventually."

Warp laughed at Shadow Walker's answer, "You know why she is able to say the right thing to upset people? It's because she's ridiculously good at reading people. You have to either be really oblivious or really good at reading people to say the perfect thing to upset someone. My sister isn't stupid: she knows what she is doing, but she isn't all that spiteful towards others... She joined the X-men, do you really think she has all that much spite in her? But, if doing something mean achieves the results she wants, she isn't above it."

"I shouldn't have to explain to you how females think. And, my sister isn't all that complicated-its easier to figure out what she is thinking than most girls," Warp sighed, "Anyways, I changed my mind about the trip on a whim. I figure Cassie will probably try to pull something early on, but the more people around the less likely she will try something. Her primary power won't work on me, but her secondary could... but she doesn't have the ability to give mass commands. She would have to make eye contact with several people to use her powers for a group. She's not the type to make unnecessary gambles. And considering she hasn't tried to use her power against you yet, I doubt she's in a huge rush to escape."

He shrugged, "It's up to you if you want to go, though. I mean if you think Cassandra is too much of a problem for you or whatever..."

Sebastian wandered aimlessly through the brush, taciturn in his movements. His eyes closed, nothing but darkness assaulted his vision. His power was null and void. His other senses would have to do the work for him. He heard movement, slight and faint, as if far away behind him. He turned as he thought Dean was moving far away. Then, he heard a voice. Off to his left (originally his right where the arrows had been coming from), Dean's voice called out like he'd been doing the entire time. If that was where Dean was, then who had moved? Sebastian felt a tree and clambered up quickly. He listened intently. There was the voice again, goading Sebastian. But what was the sound of movement earlier? Could Sebastian's ears have been playing tricks? Doubtful. He slowly made his way across the branches, listening as he went. A snap of a twig here, a crushed leaf there, the sounds of someone meaning to be quiet. Dean was an excellent fighter, but Sebastian had never known him for stealth. Apparently Dean was better at the art of stalking than he let on. Sebastian turned towards the voice. Based on the vibrations, the different echoes... the rhythm... There! he thought as he flew his knife at the noise. He'd been listening like a bat uses echo-location to judge the obstacle between himself and the voice. The blade, if on the right course, would stick into a tree not far from the voice.
Turning back to the noise of the one trying to be quiet, he noted the footfall pattern. It was a large person, but accustomed to being quiet. Definitely Dean. So, if Dean wanted to play on stealth, Sebastian would oblige. Sebastian crept along the branches, making no noise due to his lack of shoes, his footfalls on the branches being slow and deliberate.

Calamity looked over at Shadow Walker and Warp. "What is your sister's power anyway?" asked the voice of innocence.

OOC: Sorry for the one-liner with Calamity.

Shadow Walker thought for a moment. Part of her wanted to stay at home leaving Warp and Calamity to deal with Cassie's upset about the swim suit. If she were to come along she would see the mayhem ensue or perhaps what little of it. Her green eyes looked back to Warp although she really wanted to teach Cassie a lesson, wouldn't these actions cause Warp to look bad. She didn't want to make things worse for him and his sister plus it would be a waist of money to get a swim suit no one would want. After taking a deep breath, "Ok I'll go. I'd be happy to help put a stop to what ever plan she tries to pull... and as for the swim suite... pink plaid was exactly what she did not want... I just wanted to teach her a lesson but… I couldn't go through with it… she wants something in darker colors or plaid anything but pink." her eyes lowered she really wanted to upset her like she had just now.

Calamity got up off the couch. He went to follow Warp. He didn't really care about a swimsuit or anything like that. He'd gone swimming with just his boxers before plenty of times, but if it was more prudent to get a swimsuit, then Calamity would get one. Also camping gear. Calamity had been used to scavenging what shelter he could, so all this luxury would be pretty fun. He'd probably spend the camping day at the beach or something. Out of Warp and Cassie's way but having fun still.

a.k.a. Warp

Warp shrugged as the took the elevator down and said, "In Genosha you can live as you want to a point, obviously certain crime is not tolerated well, and you can't be a drain on society unnecessarily, but beyond that it doesn't really matter. Since you are Brotherhood, you do have a set way chosen for you, though... more so than say Eris or Erid or even Blink to a point. Then again, you chose to join, so I suppose that would be a set path chosen by you."

"And, Cassie doesn't wear only designer items. It wasn't like she grew up wearing the stuff, that often. Our family had money, of course, since our father was a professor and our mother one of the top lawyers in the city, but we weren't loaded like the Smithe's No one really needs a designer tag to look good or fashionable, Cassie pulled it off back in Austin without buying Gucci or whatever all the time. Of course, it is Texas... I'd guess her buying designer items-or just batting her eyes to get what she wants- is one of her ways of coping. Everyone has something they do."

As they got off the elevator he led the way through the somewhat busy street, stopping at a clothing store with manikins sporting all sorts of swimsuits and clothes appropriate more for late summer, though it was technically winter in Genosha. "Will this work for you guys?"

Dmitri Kovac
a.k.a. Amp

"No, magical fairies did," Dmitri answered, sarcastically. "Of course her brother did. You think her parents decided to do so? They live in Texas still from what I hear... and her grandmother is in Mexico or whatever. The only one in her family who currently lives in Africa-or technically an island off the coast of Africa-is her brother."

He sighed before he glanced around the room, it was clean, plain, and sported a much larger bed than he was used to. It was nothing like his more haphazard apartment he became used to, full of sketch pads, zombie movies, a punching bag, and a futon he arguably slept on more than his own twin sized bed. He turned, noticing the girl's distress, "I wanted to go get her back, but Myth said no because that is what the-Miss Frost said. Some crap about Cassie returning whenever she felt like doing so... I don't know."

He added quickly, "I suppose her brother wouldn't actually harm Cassie in the long run as he does care about her in his own way... Not that I'm arguing, but shouldn't you be more worried about your parents, anyways? Even a homo-superior, sorry mutant, who disagrees with the Brotherhood is in pretty good hands over in Genosha. I wouldn't trust the MRD that much."
