"Actually," Mike smirked, "I live in quite a few places, one of which is near here. But, yah get the point."

He laughed warmly in amusement.

*Jade Green* · 06-19-2004, 03:52 PM

"Oh so you're just visiting then?" Silver smiled, "So how do you like our underground community? Has Ran-... Graysight given you a tour yet? The place isn't really pretty like 'El Dorado' yet, but when we're done, it'll be great!"

*heretic888* · 06-21-2004, 01:29 PM

"No, 'Ran... Graysight' hasn't." Mike chuckled, wondering if Silver knew that Randi and he were on a first-name basis. "But, what's this about 'El Dorado'??" He raised an eyeridge.

*Jade Green* · 06-21-2004, 05:40 PM

"Its another community similar to this one." Randi explained, looking at the clock. "As for the tour, I'm sorry but I can't give you one right now -- I've got some business to attend to -- but Silver, I'm sure, wouldn't mind."

*heretic888* · 06-28-2004, 09:38 AM

"Ummm... ok. Have fun, Randi." Mike said to his new aquaintance with a smile, apparently not thinking as to whether he should refer to her by 'Greysight' or not in front of Silver.

Mike rose and faced Silver. "Shall we, then??" He smiled.

*Jade Green* · 06-28-2004, 04:07 PM

"Mmmm? Oh... Oh sure! I'll be glad to give him a tour -- I guess."

~Only the Civilian Areas, Silver.~ Randi warned the hare in a private mind link. Silver's left ear fell in responce to this and she motioned for Mike to follow her.

"How fast do you think you are?"

Michelangelo couldn't help but snicker when the words "I guess" came out of Silver's mouth. He wondered if this was something she had planned on doing when she came to see Randi.

Mike thought he sensed something in the air, a rather odd and almost hushed feeling momentarily entered his consciousness. Just as quickly, however, it disappeared. He shrugged it off, and walked toward Silver.

((Would you mind putting Silver's profile up in the profile thread??))

Quote:

"How fast do you think you are?"

Mike raised his left eyeridge in curiosity at this statement. To be honest, he was slightly taken aback by this question. "Ummm.... I think I'm pretty fast. I suppose. Why??"

*Jade Green* · 06-29-2004, 07:28 PM

((I will when I have a chance. Her basic outline is a mutant hare cream of color and a streak of silver on the top of her head. She's tall, (like Topaz) she is pyrokinetic and due to her figure and legs... naturally fast and a good jumper.))

The hare grinned as the two stepped out of the 'appartment'. "Race ya!" She chimed and sprinted down the walkway.

*heretic888* · 06-30-2004, 07:55 AM

Michelangelo smirked in amusement. It was time to have a little fun. Pushing Randi and Atlantis out of his mind for the moment, he darted after the hare...

A woman and what looked like to be a iguanna were walking casually down the walkway, having a relaxing conversation; but this was cut short as both spotted the blur coming their way. The woman shrieked releasing an amount of electricity as Silver soared above them and landed on the other side only then to leap over the edge to the floor below.

Then, before either could do anything more, there was a blur of green as Mike moved past them too.

A moment of silence, and the woman looked over to the slightly twitching iguanna. "Uh...?" The lizard coughed up a small cloud of smoke. "Sorry..."

Silver was now sprinting at high speeds on the bottom floor, weaving easily through crowds of people and leaping over some more before suddenly stopping in what looked like a courtyard.

*heretic888* · 07-01-2004, 07:19 AM

Michelangelo chuckled silently to himself as he darted past the iguana and the electrokinetic. He followed behind Silver, darting to and fro between the crowds of people and mutants --- and found himself standing in front of her in the courtyard.

*Jade Green* · 07-01-2004, 08:20 PM

"Heh-hey!" She laughed, stopping in front of him, "You're faster than me -- not even Topaz is faster than me! The person really faster than me is China, and she doesn't count becuase, well, that's her 'power'!"

She straightened herself up and pointed around, "This is the courtyard, basic, simple -- sorta like a town square -- Over there's the medical branch. I'd introduce you to Morgan, but I think she's slightly too old for you and she's engaged to Gabriel..."

Silver then began to show Mike various areas and explained how every member had to have a position to help the body in a whole. "I know it sounds like communism... even Graysight admitted that it has its similarites..." She shrugged, "But we don't FORCE people into any particular position..."

Mike smiled warmly in a friendly and cordial manner, but chuckled inwardly. He was almost tempted to tell her that that felt like a brisk jog to him. He wondered who this 'China' was, though.... it was evident that many of the mutants here had some kind of 'power' or another --- something he and his brothers definately lacked. Perhaps this China was like one of those comic book characters like the Flash?? Super-speed and all that jazz..

Bah, you read too much comics, Mikey. He thought to himself.

Mike raised an eyeridge at this, but didn't say anything.

"Oh, I understand." Mike chimed. "An organizational structure like would'a been preferable, given the conditions you guys are in. Kinda reminds me of the Buddhist monastic communities Splinter told us about when we were growin' up..."

"Although," he chuckled, "somethin' tells me you guys didn't build this place because yah had a hankerin' fer Nirvana, neh?"

Silver smirked at him as they walked, "You'd have to ask Greysight and Topaz about that. Over in this area here is where we're going to be growing the food." She walked into a section that had manipulated what water HAD been in the resevore to irregate the dirt that had obviously been brought in. For light, they opted for a system of sunlamps on the ceiling.

"Ooh, I can't wait. Lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes... too bad we won't be able to grow any fruits... but we can send scouts to get those I guess."

*heretic888* · 07-07-2004, 06:04 AM

"Impressive," Mike said with a slightly veiled sincerity. "Donny would'a been green with envy --- if he wasn't green already, that is."

Mike looked around. "Just veggies, huh?? Everyone here a vegetarian??"

*Jade Green* · 07-07-2004, 09:28 AM

"Well, uh, no..." Silver looked a little uncomfortable, "There's a 'ranch', but uhm... how about I introduce you to the children? I'm one of the teachers -- math -- school's out for the day but most of the children are still in 'day care' because their parents aren't yet done with work."

*heretic888* · 07-07-2004, 04:52 PM

Michelangelo raised an eyeridge at Silver's apparent discomfort. He thought it best not to press the subject.

"Sure, let's meet the kiddies." Mike grinned.

"Watch out." She grinned as they walked away from the 'field'. "They're evil munchkins... especially Mikael." They started for another end of the compound, Silver waving her 'hellos' to people along the way.

*heretic888* · 07-08-2004, 06:35 AM

"Heh." Mike chuckled, following Silver toward the end of the compound, making a mental note of everything he saw --- landmarks, building structures, people, etc.

"What if he is an enemy?" Topaz mused as he watched Silver and Mikey on the security screens. The turtle had been able to sneak in, undetected. His casual demeanor in the male hare's opinion was just, well, TOO casual.

Greysight closed her eyes, pulling off her sunglasses to clean them. "I sensed no malice in him." She replied, "He is not a member of the Militia and he is not an enemy to us..." she paused, putting her sunglasses back on, "...yet, and I want to keep it that way."

"But I still think he's a-..."

"A danger? A threat? Yes, I agree totally." She frowned at him, "However, he can also be the opposite: A help, an Ally. We need allys, Topaz."

"We know nothing about him!"

"That's why we're gaining his trust, so he will allow us to know." Greysight retorted, "And no, I can't take a look into his mind. He's got the best mental blocks that I've seen in years."

"I still think th-.."

"Quiet." She ordered, "They've reached the school."

====================================

As they entered the 'play ground'. Silver was nearly tackled over by a group of several children: some of them anthropomorphic, some of them completely human in appearance, and other 'humans' that had one or two distinguishimg marks... like a pair of horns protruding from his head.

The child in question had been the first to spot them coming. He had let his class mates tackle down their math teacher while he decided to go have a look at the new guy. He saddled up to Michelanglo and crossed his arms.

"Who're you?"
