*follows after, taking her time* Mike, there is something else I want to say to you. Something that, from where I stand, should have been said a long time ago.

Gyle · 01-01-2003, 09:20 PM

*Blinks alittle* Me? Who was I fighting with? *Frowns through, realizing something, and begins to sigh heavily, not answering Mike's question*

*kyabetsu* · 01-01-2003, 09:22 PM

leo stared at the cards in his hands.
L: (internal) There are several possibilities. I could draw from the discard pile and arrange my hand into two different sets. I could take this card (leo shuffled the card order of his hand to help him think) and put it with the run. Or I could just draw from the pile and trust to luck.

kya pushed down a smile as Vespera leaned over and peered into Leo's hand. He was so deep in thought, it took him a few seconds to notice.

L: HEY!!

Leo pulled his cards into his chest and leaned away from Vespera.

L;Don't PEEK!!

He sounded morally indignant.

kya smothered a toothy grin as best she could, but ended up laughing anyways.

*terran631* · 01-01-2003, 09:24 PM

Mike: *pokes the dragon's feet lightly with his finger and glances back at Enigma deciding he knows where this is going. Sighs* Look, I'm sorry ok? It wasnt your fault. I know that. I was just so ticked that Machi got hurt and I thought you were gonna look after her....*shakes his head* I'll apologize to you when I see you..I mean..my times you...I dont carry grudges very well.

Gyle · 01-01-2003, 09:27 PM

*Sighs and hardly responds to mike poking at his feet, looking abit depressed*

*enigma-1* · 01-01-2003, 09:28 PM

*stops briefly, giving him a knowing smile* Not exactly what I was going to say, but it's probably a smart move on your part. I was just to apologize for something else that will happen, but now I don't think that this will be necessary.

*leans against the wall, resting* But a word of advice, do not tick me off when I'm carrying Onslaught.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-01-2003, 09:32 PM

Don: There is that. I don't know how, but you managed to find your way to the nest of weird happenings. We seem to be grand central for the weird and outre wandering in and out of our home. We had a three foot dragon show up earlier today.

*Vespera winked at Leo as he pulled away.* If it makes you feel better, *she flashed him one card out of her hand, the two of spades. It was completely useless to what he had right now.* I see your cards, you see mine, life is fair again, right? *she was having a hard time not laughing as she spoke. Kyas laughter wasn't helping her keep a straight face*

*kyabetsu* · 01-01-2003, 09:41 PM

A look a frustrated annoyance flashed across leo's features, making him momentarily reminiscent of a miffed kermit the frog. It passed as quickly as it had come though, and he shook his head while a grin played at the corner of his mouth.

L: it's your turn, cheater.
There was laughter in his eyes as he said it.

kya smiled.
kya: (internal) yeah, a game had been a good idea.

Renee · 01-01-2003, 09:49 PM

*Ren took another gulp of tea and grinned* Well, seems like the happening place to be! Hell, it beats being trapped out there with the humans who as soon as they learn that you're different, try their best to wipe you off the face of their world. *She pauses as memories surface, but decides to ignore them, turning back to her tea* And I always thought opposites were meant to attract. I guess this whole 'grand central' thing of yours proves me wrong. Seriously though, you've got to introduce me to these friends of yours.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-01-2003, 09:56 PM

*Vespera stuck her tongue out at him.* I'm only cheating if I USE what I know. *She drew a card, and put it into her hand. With a triumphant smile, she put a run down and discarded a three of diamonds.* NOW I'm a cheater. So nyar.

*She leaned over and whispered at Kya* Pretend like its something important I;m telling you. *She looked back at Leo and winked.*

*Don sipped his own tea.* May just be the safety in numbers thing. Not everyone LIVES here, but they all seem to hang out here.

*enigma-1* · 01-01-2003, 09:58 PM

*suddenly kneels forward in pain, dropping to one knee as she clutches her side*

Primus, not again. Why won't this stop!?

*can only hold back part of her pained cry, which comes out as a frustrated growl*

Renee · 01-01-2003, 10:08 PM

*Ren finished off her tea and sat back, fiddling with the cup. She nodded at Don's comment* Hm... Maybe. Gotta admit that its nice being around someone who can actually relate...well, somewhat atleast. Don't worry, I'm not planning on jumping in on you wanting a place to stay. I'll head out as soon as my energy's back.

*kyabetsu* · 01-01-2003, 10:20 PM

Kya let her eyes get big and formed a half-grin on her features. Ves' playful nature was infectious. Leo seemed to have taken her first round of teasing well, so kya didn't hesitate to play along. She pointedly didn't look at Leo and re-arranged her cards with a knowing expression. It falterd when she looked up and caught leo's expression.

Leo's eyes had narrowed, but not in anger. Just frustration. He knew that Ves was probably just teasing. It was only a card game. IT STILL got under his skin.

All kya saw was that Leo wasn't laughing anymore. She quickly played her cards and sat back a bit.

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-01-2003, 10:30 PM

*Vespera grinned and sat back. She glanced over at Leo, and the look faded from her face. Something about that had irritated him. She poked him with one finger until he looked up and made eye contact. She pulled a sad face, and mouthed. "I'm sorry" at him. She managed to keep the solemn look on her face as she turned her cards around so she was studying the backs as if they were the important parts. Her cards were now clearly visible to both of them.* I've got a run of three checkered pattern thingys. *She put three cards on the bed face down.*

*Don debated asking, then decided there was no harm in it.* You staying in the area, or you just passing through?

Renee · 01-01-2003, 10:39 PM

Huh? *Renee turned her attention away from the teacup to face Don* Oh. I'll stay around. For a while at least. *shrugs* It's not like I have anywhere else to go, or anything better to do.

*kyabetsu* · 01-01-2003, 10:57 PM

Leo felt his cheeks heat. He knew it was just a game. He'd overreacted AGAIN. They were only teasing, now Ves was apologizing and kya looked distinctly uncomfortable.

L: (grinned at Ves' joke and played his turn) ... s'your turn kya. (quietly) and i'm sorry too

kya picks up the card he just discarded and goes out. She also looks apologetic.

L: kya? did you just win?
Kya: ...um... gotta count points, but i think so. yeah.
L: (gathering the cards with a grin) then i'd like a rematch.
L(internal) i will NOT be the spoilsport in here.

Gyle · 01-01-2003, 11:08 PM

*Sighs and decides to let the old prune golem and Mike talk, flapping his wings and takes off. Using his uncanny sense of direction, he head back to the main part of the house, flying around before he flaps into the infirmary, and chirps* Hiya!

*Vespera Blaze* · 01-01-2003, 11:10 PM

*Vespera smiled. Good. He's not staying upset. Sometimes its hard to tell what his reactions are gonna be around here. He was much more... relaxed when he was just coming by my place. She almost snorted. Of course, we hadn't had the rest of this crud to deal with before either. Between psychotic ex's, unexpected visitors, family blowing up and yelling at each other and his dad having a collapse, he was entitled to be a little uptight. The worst thing that happens at my place is the microwave chooses its own settings to cook at. She handed the remains of her cards over to him.* Deal! and er... deal. *she twisted a lip at the inadvertent pun.

*Don finished his tea and stared into the mug. He wasn't sure what else to say. No one else had come through the kitchen, and he didn't know how to deal with his "guest"* Ah... more tea?

*Ren nodded.* That would be.... *she paused and reached up for her neck.* Oh no... my scarf! Um... can I take you up on that in a bit? I have to figure out where I dropped my scarf. *She got to her feet quickly.* I'll be RIGHT back.

*Don nodded, and stood as she did.* Not a problem, just knock when you get back. If its not me answering the door just use my name and they should let you in. We;ll talk when you're back. *he glanced in the direction of the infirmirary. It was time he went to check on them anyways.*

**Kali** · 01-01-2003, 11:18 PM

*Kali finally dragged her trunk through into her room. She shoved it into a corner then flopped down on the bed to relax. Okay, got everything of mine from the apartment. Left the keys. I think that's it. Unfortunately, she wasn't quite tired enough to get back to sleep, so she moved to unpack.*

*A few minutes into it she pulled out a glass perfume bottle.* There you are. *she moved to spray the perfume onto her neck but paused and frowned down at the bottle. Her mind made the necessary connetions between her fights with Raph and when she stopped using the perfume.* Damn...

*kyabetsu* · 01-01-2003, 11:18 PM

Leo rolled his eyes at the terrible pun but grinned as he took the cards from her.
L: one Rematch comin' up--hello.

Gyle had landed at the foot of the bed. Kya turned and stared as the dragon settled himself at the end of Vespera's bed, for all the world like a housecat with scales and wings.

kya

staring a bit) hi.
