Mysterious Circumstances (pm to discuss joining)

"It went good, exusting, but it went pretty good, I feel like a engineer myself. Haha" she took a sip of her tart coffee, and closed her eyes as she heard "Ahhhhhh!" From the kitchen, as Cy came around the corner with a pan on his head and a MeRP following. "Oh god" May said irritability as the MeRP chased the squealing Cy around the room. She got up and plucked the pot off of Cys head, who proceeded to try and swat her hand away, May handed the pot the MeRP, who hovered away silently. Cy angrily rolled around the kitchen. May say down and sighed but laughed.

Natalia laughed too. "Those could be useful, little robots to feed the animals on the farm, if they listen better than Cy does."

"True, if I programmed them correctly they could do anything a human could do, except give birth that is" She laughed. The MeRP silently put her food dish in front of her then hovered back to the kitchen. "On the other hand, I just programmed Cy to do useful things, don't know how he got so rambunctious." She paused. "What do you think will be down there? On the planet. Think it will look like earth?"

Kate thought about popcorn but wasn't moved by the thought. "Popcorn isnt the salty treat we're after. Chips, I mean fries, Americans call them fries, right? Is it possible to get loads of fries?" The belly responded with a kick of excitement. "Little guy agrees, daddy."

"Fries it is m'lady." David said giving Kate a little bow. He gave her one last kiss before leaving the bedroom. He went to the kitchen and ordered a large plate of fries and two cokes. He also grabbed a glass of chocolate milk, salt, and ketchup for good measure. He nodded to Natalia and the new girl before quietly leaving the kitchen carrying the food and drinks on a tray. He went to the lounge and grabbed the largest tablet he could find before returning to Kate. He entered the room and set the tray down on the nightstand next to Kate before sitting on the bed next to her. "One plate of fries for my lovely lady and our undoubtedly handsome son." David said snuggling up next to Kate. He grabbed the tablet and went to the movie section. "So, what do we feel like watching?" David asked popping a fry into his mouth.

"What do you think will be down there? On the planet. Think it will look like earth?"

Nat shrugged, "I think if it's had humans trying to make it home for decades now it should be at least a little bit like earth. We had a team building and skill discovery sim the other day on a densely forested island. I have a suspicion that was a clue."

"I hope so, I do miss the green on earth." She watched the man walk out of the kitchen, " is he silent? Or hates me? Cause I mean I don't want to be a attention whore but, he hadn't said a word to me..." She leaned in closer, and whispered softly "I don't think he likes Celeb either."

Natalia watched David and shook her head, "I don't think it's hate. He's uncomfortable with the non-vanilla...Nonconformity, you know? That, mixed with teenaged rebellion makes him edgy." Explained Nat. "You guys are less predictable. It sets up his cop alert."

 

[SlySparrow0003]

May thought of this for the moment, yawning, "yeah I guess I can see it, Maybe my appearance gives him the wrong thought about me. Cop, huh?" Where were the cops when my dad died, her thoughts growled. She touched her black nose ring, and her newly died hair. "Well it was nice talking with you, but-" she yawned and but her dish in the sink, "I'm gonna go to bed, goodnight" she said smiling before going into her room and Cy following. She undressed and calmly fell asleep. Where she fell into a dream. She was in her room at home. She was getting ready for school, after school she was going to her car. And the men... She relived her rape, and she saw her mom, she said mommie. When her mom lowered the gun it was like she truly woke up. Then she saw her get beat up by the man, before she was shot by him. Then she switched places. She was with her dad, they were walking and talking, it was dark, they were laughing together, thenmen stepped out of the ally and they started to beat her dad, two men held her as she struggled and screamed, while the others beat her father to death. Then she started to switch through dramatic things in her dreams, she was like a ghost nobody saw her or felt her, but she watched herself go through traumatic things again. But she couldn't wake up. She wouldn't wake up from whatever nightmare was happening. She was trapped in her nightmare.

Natalia went to look for Erik and found Yuet, changed into a very lovely crimson dress, with her hair in an updo and make up on. "Yuet, you look very pretty tonight. What are you up to?"

Yuet blushed, shyly thanking Natalia for the compliment. I'm picking up Aziz in the library. He's almost finished with Caleb's Rapid Education and requested I meet him. He says he has a surprise for me in the park."

Nat saw Jocelyn sneaking off toward the dome with her arms full of candles and what appeared to be a picnic basket dangling from one elbow. She looked like Yuet was the one person not meant to see what she had going on and Nat put two and two together..Nat knew Aziz had enlisted Jocelyn as everyone's personal assistant in exchange for her own tattoo parlor on planet. She guessed he'd started testing her work ethic already, getting her to help him set up a romantic candlelight picnic in the park for him and Yuet.

Smiling slowly, she hugged Yuet to distract her while Joce made a break for the dome to finish setting up Yuet's surprise, then she kissed the diminutive woman's cheek and told her, "I hope you two have a wonderful time tonight. Enjoy your date. I'm off to find Erik."

Yuet, a bit puzzled, thanked Natalia and went to find Aziz.

Aziz was just telling Caleb goodbye in Hindi before turning to see Yuet approaching looking drop dead gorgeous! He smiled wide, feeling himself to be the luckiest man in the universe. Letting Yuet take his arm, he nodded to a near breathless Jocelyn just emerging from the park and giving him the thumbs up sign, then joining her brother to grill him about his training.

Aziz stepped through the gate with Yuet into darkness...but a candle lit path led the way to a secluded picnic area surrounded by dozens more candles. A portable mp3 player had soft classical music playing in the background and the real starfield of unknown space whizzed by above the dome like millions of shooting stars.

Yuet took in the whole scene and was delighted and touched that anyone would go to such lengths to impress her. "Oh, Aziz! This is amazing!"

He helped her to sit on the blanket beside her and they shared their second date.

David said snuggling up next to Kate. He grabbed the tablet and went to the movie section. "So, what do we feel like watching?" David asked popping a fry into his mouth.

Kate perused the listings, "Hmm, I feel like something light hearted. No dying or anything too violent. I'm trying to relax. Maybe a comedy?" She said, taking a bite of a fry. "Mmm...would it be really weird to think these fries could use nacho cheese dip? Is that too stereotypically strange pregnant craving? "

 

[SlySparrow0003]

May awoke screaming, although she cupped her hand over her mouth so it was short lived. She pulled out some grey sweatpants and a black T-shirt. She lit a candle on her desk and grabbed it. She rushed out of her room, Cy was turned off. She shut her door and rushed to the pool room, not wanting to be seen. Five minutes later she found her way into the dark pool room. She left it dark, and sat down by the pool. She brought her knees up to her chin. She didn't cry. She just stared. She must have slept for 30 minutes or less, but it seemed like her nightmare lasted forever. She sat at the pool, staring at the water and reliving everything from her nightmare. It seemed like one of those times were she actually did want to be alone.

"Mmm...would it be really weird to think these fries could use nacho cheese dip? Is that too stereotypically strange pregnant craving? "

"Not at all!" David laughed standing up again. "You choose the movie, and I'll grab you the nacho cheese." David said leaving the room again. He didn't mind Kate sending him on random food runs, in fact he enjoyed it. He liked feeling useful, and helping Kate to be happy. David went to the kitchen and ordered a large cup of nacho cheese sauce. David grabbed the cup and returned to his and Kate's room. "Here's your cheese." He said setting the cup down on the food tray. He got back into the bed and snuggled up to Kate again. "So what did you choose to watch?" David asked taking a sip of coke.

Austin awoke with a startled grunt as his head hit the ground. He sat up and watched Sally, who he'd been using as a pillow, run off in pursuit of a squirrel. "And I was having such a peaceful nap." Austin groaned as he stood up. He wiped some bits of grass of off his pants as he made his way through the park. After the simulation April had been busy with the new people, so Austin had decided to hang out in the park with Sally. After playing for awhile the pair had decided to relax under a tree, and they'd fallen asleep. Now it felt like he'd been asleep long enough to go find April.

As Austin walked through the park he saw Erik sitting on the rock in the center of the lake with Adrianna draped in his lap. The two of them were making out, and oblivious of the outside world. Austin smirked and wondered what Natalia would think as he kept walking towards the library. He passed Aziz and Yuet laughing on a blanket, their clearing lit up by candles. Austin made his way past then silently. He wondered what April was doing as he entered the library.

April had been just about to leave the library and look for Austin when Natalia came in asking if she'd seen Erik. She was telling her friend that Erik had passed by about a half hour ago, "He said he was bored and felt like swimming in the lake."

Nat rolled her eyes. "So, he felt like mermaid." Was her conclusion.

April shrugged, "Don't shoot the messenger."

Natalia sat upon the edge of the nearest table. "It's ok, I guess. I know he and I look like a couple but...I guess we're not, niether of us said it officially. This morning I thought that perhaps...I mean he told me he fought death for me. That seems like something meaningful, right?"

April nodded, "It does. Look, Nat, maybe it's just a swim. Maybe it's only playful with her, you know? Austin and I have played with her. We agreed to. She knew it was all in fun and that he's really mine."

"It probably is just lighthearted fun...I should probably, like, talk to him about it if I feel more...serious...right?"

April nodded, "Truly. Erik is a nice guy but daft at times. I think if you want something from him you'll need to spell it out for him. No offense."

"None taken...Oh, speaking of boyfriends...Here comes Austin." Said Natalia to April, both ladies waved him over. Nat rose from the table, heading for the park. "I feel like a walk to the lake." She announced.

April reached for Austin's hands, "Good evening. What have you been up to, my dear?"

"I picked 'The Goonies', going for a classic. My cousin, Kyle was obsessed with this film when we were kids. He's five years older than me so he saw himself as a peer of one of the goonies, I guess. He had it on VHS and at the time my nan was recovering from a stroke and my mum and his mum (her daughters) were helping her around the house a lot, taking we kids along to keep each other occupied and her entertained while they helped her. I think that one summer we saw 'The Goonies' every single day, sometimes more than once on rainy days..." She laughed at the memory of her cousin Kyle. "He's a real estate agent near Killarney now. Divorced, one child...he hasn't seen his son in four years. Trevor would be about nine now....Sorry, Sorry, darling, I'm rambling." She blushed and put the requested food in her mouth to stop her prattling on. "Anyway, movie. You ok with 'The Goonies'?"

May fell back unto the bed floaty she laid on, feet draped in the water, she breathed a exasperated sigh, and started to grow tired. She dozed into a uneasy sleep. As she tried to keep herself awake but sleep came. Full of nightmares once again, she wouldn't wake. Couldn't. She could feel her physical body. As her nails clenched into the floaty, which she couldn't control, as she felt the floaty start to deflate. She couldn't move. She wouldn't leave her dreams.

Erik groaned in pleasure as he felt Adrianna slowly kiss her way down his neck. He gently cupped her breasts and was rewarded with a pleasured gasp. After a moment Erik reluctantly pulled his hands away from Adrianna's breasts. "Noooooo, please don't stop." Adrianna whined before burying her face in Erik's shoulder. "I told you we're going to wait for Natalia to find us when we started." Erik chuckled as he ran his fingers down Adrianna's sides. "I know, but I can't wait any longer! This teasing is killing me!" She moaned pressing her breasts into his chest. "It looks like your waiting is almost over." Erik said in a happy voice as he saw Natalia approaching the shore line. He beckoned towards Natalia before calling out, "Hey beautiful! We've been waiting for you! Get over here before Adrianna pops!"

"Oh thank the Goddess!" Adrianna moaned flinging herself from Erik's lap and into the water. She swam through the water moving like a bullet until she reached the shore. "Natalia! Please come on! He's been teasing me for an hour! He said we can't do anything until you found us! Please please please get in the water!" Adrianna begged the blonde woman, the desperation clear in her voice.

 

[Othermoose]

Austin shrugged as he took April's hand and sat down next to her. "Nothing much. I hung out with Sally and took a nap. Pretty boring." He said tracing random patterns across April's palm. "What do you think about the new people? Are they cool?" He asked wondering if he'd be fighting with any of them soon.

Natalia laughed, more with relief than anything else. He'd been expecting her and hoping she'd join them. This suddenly felt so much better and she felt silly for worrying.

David smiled as he listened to Kate talk about her family. "Prattle away, it's nice to hear about something normal." David said idly twirling a strand of Kate's hair between his fingers. "You'll probably find this hard to believe, but I've never actually seen 'The Goonies'. It'll be fun to finally see it. Especially with you." David said happily.

"What do you think about the new people? Are they cool?" He asked wondering if he'd be fighting with any of them soon.

April shrugged, "I'm not sure. I don't get much feeling about that May except she seems scared of everything to the point I'm concerned she won't be able to stand up and help the group when it's needed. I hope I'm wrong about her on that. If fear makes her self indulgent and wallowing in self pity the way anger did to you...Well, you saw how your not playing well with others rubbed me wrong and riled me up, I feel similarly annoyed with her but I'm waiting to see how things turn out. I hope she can control her angstiness when necessary. You've proven you have other feelings besides anger and can be supportive of the crew when necessary. It's made me trust you. Hell, I love you. I hope May comes around to waking up to what's happening and how important working together is...As for Jocelyn and Caleb, they seem alright. I don't know enough to judge yet...But, Jocelyn seems cool."

"Alright. Goonies, then." Kate agreed and they started the film. Although, there were moments intense kissing or side conversations made them have to pause the film several times.

"Fear is hard to get through. Harder than anger. Harder than anything. If not for you I'd still be fucked up. Well I am still fucked up, but without you I'd be worse. Or the same. Fuck I don't know. I just know I love you." Austin said pulling April in for a kiss. After a few passionate moments Austin pulled away and pressed his face into April's neck. "You made me a better me." He said quietly.

 

[Othermoose]

Natalia laughed, more with relief than anything else. He'd been expecting her and hoping she'd join them. This suddenly felt so much better and she felt silly for worrying.

Adrianna whimpered again. "Come on! Please don't tease me anymore I can't take it!" She pleaded to Natalia as her tail churned the water. She turned to see Erik approaching them and rushed to him pulling him the rest of the way to Natalia. "The poor girls desperate. Don't tell me you're going to leave her like this. You of all people should know the affect I have." Erik said with a cocky grin, seeming very pleased with himself.

April held Austin close and whispered, "I'm proud if how far you've come already." After holding him for a long moment she kissed him and added, "...now, shall we go find something to do together?"
