Schools For New Mutants

[BadForm]

Wei-Fong Chan: Force

Wei-Fong cocked her head as she thought for a second. Then she gave a slight chuckle. Maybe these people wanted to have fun. After all, this one was asking about what else she could do, so why not show him.

"Silly!" She said, "I know asleep when I see it, but if you really want to see what I can do... watch."

With that, she concentrated on the water within the fountain's works. She cut off the flow at the spout momentarily, and forced the pressure to build quickly within. A second later, the concentrated force of water blew a larger hole in the top of the fount, from which she could rapidly draw all the water. She spread the torrent rapidly throughout the local area of the mall, so thin that it formed rainbows in all directions from the light passing through it. Concentraiting harder, she took a jet of water and spun it around the thin mist, dancing in and out of the poles of the upstairs barriers like a vine. She matched this with a similar one on the other side, before drawing then together to swirl around the guy's torso. She drew this off again, to spin back to the end of the vines of water. This was hard, concentrating, as she was, on so many things, but it was also great fun. Besides, the guy was handsome... and she considered concentrating the water into a superdence stream, hard enough to strip him.

 

[Inkubus]

Vincent/Paraiste/Zoe....

Playing songs that suited the chaos we create is effortless and brings joy to my heart. I focus on the emotions coming form the guitar and evrything else is easy. I draw bio energy from the area... and focus on the song. The only problem I have is that I am a Parasite....My powers are more reflex than concious, I cant help it, I am trying to learn to control them but lately it is like trying to teach a badger to play chess. Suddenly I feel a touch upon my skin I turn to warn my teamate of how dangerous that is but it is to late. All my life anyone who touched me was in great danger, especially mutants, but something odd occurs. I feel my powers amplfy but pass around the being touching me, its almost like she is me. My powers are recognizing her as an extension of me and allowing her to be energized by my abilities even as she amplifies mine. We effeciently siphon off the humans in the area , just enough to keep them unconcious. I am fighting the power that flows within us...this much power could be dangerous. I hold it in and pray that Lucas knows what hes doing. I look trustingly into Zoes eyes and see myself in them I wonder how we are going to break this circut...without harming one another. My attention is drawn to The Water goddess at the center of all this, cutting off her powers could be detrimental to her. Rachel is still seemingly dazed and Lucas looks like he can handle it but... I look to Zoe to see if she has any idea what to do. the chord shifts as the tension mounts where will this story turn, the music is becoming fast paced and hectic building to crescendo.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

I can tell the strain among my fellow mutants is getting intense. I call to Angel and ask her to come close.

"Angel, please, I need you to find James and ask him to find the water shut off to the fountain. Then, please go tell Zoe and Vincent that once the fountain is off, I'm going to try and get Wei out of the building.

"If I can do that, then tell Zoe and Vincent to ease back on the bio drain until they're no longer causing the humans to feel drowsy. I imagine there will be some aftereffects so it should buy us time.

"Once you've told them that, then please come back here. I am really going to need your help with Tara and Martin.

"A lot of this is going to depend on timing, Angel, and I am really going to need your help."

As Angel heads off, I call back to Wei.

"Enjoying the water, Wei?"

Then I address the crowd.

"Yes, indeed she is a magical being of great skill and immense power. The way she could make water dance and weave its many shapes.

"Sally who had never seen anything like this was enthralled and joined in the fun, playing in the water with Wei.

"But still, she could feel something watching, something that made her uneasy. And she wondered if there might not be a safer, better place for them to get to know each other better."

I grin suddenly, 'cause it seems either Tara or Martin or both heard me and suddenly out of the foliage around the fountain, glowintg lights like eyes appear.

I change the tone of my voice slightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, you are watching a preview of a new play from the Outrageous Company utilizing advanced holographic software in place of standard sets. This play is set to premiere in, ah, in Ontario at next summer's play festival. I hope you who will have an opportunity will travel there to see us."

"For now, more of our preview," I tell the crowd.

To Tara, I say so only she can hear.

"Tara, if you can hear me just nod your head. I need you to start coming back, to lead Martin back. I am going to have to leave in a little bit to get Wei out of the building if I can. Please, start coming back, slowly, take your time."
I have Tara's hand entwined in mine, my other hand covering hers, praying she can hear me.

"What is it, Sally wondered that was watching them, was keeping an eye on them. She began to wonder if perhaps there was a safer place they might go..."

 

[BadForm]

Wei-Fong Chan: Desires

Wei-fong was confused. What was this nonsense about a play in Ontario? Hell, where was Ontario come to that? She was here having fun with her friend and the people at the mall and he was spouting nonsense. Well, he may be crazy but he was cute. She formed some of the water into a hand and gave him a wet slap across the face with it.

"You talk too much," she laughed.

She quickly spun water into an image of her face at about his groin height, and made a dagger with more water, dense enough to slice through cloth and leather. She used this to make a single careful cut, through his belt.

"Why not shut up and show us what you've got?"

She chuckled, making the image of her face lick its lips as it watched the belt, though not the trousers, separate.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

That wet slap upside the head was just a wee more than refreshing. I laugh as I shake the water out of my eyes, 'cause I refuse to panic at this point.

suddenly, there's this water sculpture of her face, which is rather pretty, and that of a dagger which is not so appealing. I'm unsure of her powers, though I am getting the idea she can do just about anything she wants with water.

then I feel my belt part and I am flexing my hips to keep my pants up (the pants were a bit large to start with and having not eaten in a few days, they aren't exactly form fitting.)

Well, hell, under other circumstance, yeah, I might even be interested in this sort of play. She is some babe and I've always liked the color green. But now my brain is racing as to what to do.

Double edged sword helps a bit; yeah, the body reacts while the mind is trying to figure something out and I have one hell of an erection which catches just on the underside of the waist band of my jeans and keeps them perched there for the moment.

(And hope they stay, 'cause this ol' son of a dog isn't wearing underwear at the moment.)

"Ah, babe," I say to her, "Don't I at least get a kiss first?"

In my head, I am urging James to find that shut off valve very, very quickly.

 

[BadForm]

Wei-Fong Chan: The Kiss

This was more like the fun she enjoyed. He wanted a kiss? Well, Wei-fong was more than happy to oblige. She moved the head sculpture up to his face and made it pucker up as it moved in closer. She added shoulders and two arms to the image to wrap around him in a very soggy embrace.

"Sure, big boy, pucker up..." she called.

She pushed the head sculpture forward agains his face, letting it splatter as it hit. Then she focused all the water into the form of a slide over to her. Though it was not quite so dense as strong ice, it would probably hold his weight.

"If you want the real thing, you'll have to come down here."

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

All along I had been puzzling how to actually get Wei out of the building and to the pond. I figured cutting off the water at the fountain would probably at least confuse her a bit, but hadn't been sure after that just what to do.

An idea came to me about then as to how to get Wei outside to the pond. If Wei wanted to play, well sure, I would oblige her.

"Baby, are you sure there's enough water over there for the two of us?" I call to her, laughing. "Sure wouldn't want either of us left high and dry," I tease.

Turning to Tara, I urgently whisper, "Tara, please, please...come back, bring Martin back with you. I am going to have to leave in a moment to draw Wei out of the mall. Tara, can you hear me?"

 

[Guest]

Martin

I could feel amazement through the haze of not-quite-asleepness. This was beutiful. The mall kept growing according to the serene dream images that Tara had woven. Why can't I have dreams like this.

I noticed how tired I was. This hypnotic trance was very close to, but very different from, sleep. I could feel it threatening to overtake me. If that happened, I couldn't keep from dreaming. I didn't want to imagine what would happen if I did that.

It's my first instinct; I reach for the Narcolepsy medication in my shirt pocket. It isn't there. I looked over to the bench where I am still sitting, eyes closed, with my hand holding that of the other mutant. Lucas is very close to both of us.

Of course! My real body has to take the medicine.

I don't know if someone in a hypnotic trance can fall into a narcoleptic sleep. Thinking about it, I don't want to find out.

Through the haze I can't even panic as I feel the drowsiness form in my head. I need to take that medicine. I need them to wake me. How do I tell them?

 

[Vivid]

OOC: that was from me

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

"Vincent, Zoe...keep them under just a little longer," I say to them as they stand next to Tara, Martin and me.

I can see Martin's body starting to jerk just a little. In the same voice I used to start the hypnosis that Tara was able to take control of I say to him. "Martin, you are asleep and yet you are in complete control of your mind and your body. Tara has led you onto the path you have always wanted, to be able to control your powers. Revel in them, enjoy them. When you return, you will find you have more control over them than you ever had before.

"Tara will show you the way back now, follow her, trust her as you would trust me. when you hear Tara or I say, "Martin, wake up! You will return"

Hell, it's something maybe to help him later on as well.

"Tara, come back to me, please...bring Martin with you. Now, please, for I am going to have to leave in just a few minutes if I can get Wei to follow me."

I see the glaze in Tara's eyes beginning to clear. I squeeze her hand and smile. It occurs to me that I really am getting like her a lot. Maybe, after all of this is over...

I shake my head. First things first. And only if she can find it in her heart to forgive me for what I am about to do.

"Hey, sweet Wei. I know where there's a lot more water for us to play in. Beneath the starry skies with a lovely breeze blowing all about. Bet we could have a real party there. Not like here where all these folks are just too darn drowsy to be much fun. And all this cold tile all around. Let's go play outside in the big pond, baby, and you can show me everything you've got, and I'll show you everything I have. C'mon baby, let's party!"

I wiggle my hips suggestively, which is a mistake. My jeans slip a bit more and suddenly I am a candidate for arrest for indecent exposure as my erection peeks out above the waist band.

 

[Vivid]

Martin

I was releived to see my hand, my real one. reach and take the nose spray medicine from my shirt pocket. It's reflex as I squirt one in each nostril and inhale deepley. I can feel the haze on my mind receeding as the medicine, Sebastipan-D, kicks in. I breath a little easier. Even through the hypnotic trance on my real body I see the releif.

I happily take in my surroundings as I await the order to bring my out of the trance.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

None too soon, I can hear the gurgle of water dying. It's very, very faint, but there nonetheless. I see Martin's hand move towards his medication and apply it to himself.

Damn, I think to myself with a grin, He does have more control than he thought he might. In the back of my mind, I find myself wondering if maybe, just maybe, Martin can be taught self-hypnosis, he might actually be able to fully control his powers. I try to nail in my head the thought to mention that to him...later.

Tara's eyes are beginning to clear. Her awareness seems to be returning. I find myself just a little afraid that what I am about to do is going to make her despise me, but I see no other course. I whisper to her.

"Tara...I have planted in Martin's mind that you can wake him by saying, "Martin...wake up". Once I leave here, please bring him out of his trance and tell Vincent and Zoe they can start easing off the drowsiness on the humans...but wait until Wei and I are gone....please see if you can find the Professor and Ms. Frost, maybe they'll be able to help...and, and...please, trust me."

I don't know what else to say, but I can feel my eyes burning. Can't fret with that now, gotta stay on track, gotta stay sharp.

The fountain is dying, the water slowly starting to falter, to drain away. Silently, I thank Angel and James for their finding the valve...or whoever else it was that shut this down.

"Hey, baby," I call to Wei. "Let's go play in the big pond. What d'ya say? Bet we can dive real, real deep."

I feel a squeeze of my hand, but don't dare look to see what is in Tara's eyes. With reluctance, I let go of her, shuck my boots and jeans and vest. Completely naked, hanging out like a fool, I know I have to get myself and Wei the hell out of here before the humans begin to wake.


I leap from where I am to Wei, and take her in my arms, kissing her hard and deeply.

Damn, she feels good, moist and cool, yet warm beneath all of that. My cock responds without conscience. I take her hand and grin at her, nodding towards the exit.

"C'mon, sweet water baby....let's find that big pond. This place is nothing compared to that."

 

[BadForm]

Wei-Fong Chan: Decision

At first, Wei-fong responded by reaching out and caressing his cock. He was a good size, both in length and girth. That would feel great inside her, and he was as eager as she was. SHe considered staying here to fuck him, but he was right - it was always more fun underwater. At least, unless her partner drowned, which tended to be the end of things. She nodded to him and quickly gathered together all of the water she had already drawn from the fountain, forming it into a hard battering ram to blast out through the nearest doorway. Then she ran with him, hand in hand, searching for the nearest source of large water. Perhaps unfortunately, what they found first, was the parking lot...

 

[Isolde]

OOC: *Applause* Very, very good students...well done!

IC: Emma let her own mental protectiveness fall so that anyone in the group with psi powers could now contact her. However, her first mental message was for Prof. Xavier only.

Well, Xavier, it seems we have very promising students this year. I do believe they have proven that they are worth all the effort it took to get them here. But, now, I think is the time for us to step in and lead them home. If you would be so kind as to mask any nudity that has occured from the humans, I will gather my students and take care of the young water sprite.

Sending the next message to all of her students, she told them to gather at the schools van. Plans had changed and they were ordering in pizza tonight. Only a slight hint of her approval was given at that time. They could discuss their successes and failures once back at the school.

The next direct thought went to Wei...or past Wei and diving into the layers of her personalities. Searching through the complexities of the young lady she found what she was looking for. Not Cai as the girl would probably have a bad reaction to waking up and finding a young man next to her in such a state.

"Anh Doo....you are needed. Your wisdom and neutrality is needed now. Come." And, pulling mentally at the connection, she lead the air personality slowly to the surface to take control of the situation.


OOC: Neale is not on right now but you may assume that, though reluctant to force his own mind on the humans, he has clothed anyone needing to be clothed...or at least it will appear to the humans as such.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

I point towards a stand of trees across the parking lot. Behind it, hidden from the view of the parking lot is the pond I smelled when I came in.

"There!" I say, "can't you smell it?"

Sweeping Wei up in my arms, I give her another kiss.

"Ready for the wild ride, baby?" I ask her.

I lope across the parking lot as fast as I can as she laughs. My strength and speed, I hope, is enough to get us there without more than a few curious looks from the people passing by.

Despite my concern for the situation, I am having fun, starting to feel wild and free again. Wei is no burden as I carry her and I've gotten a second wind.

Fortunately,tto, we've come out the exit near the back of the mall, so I scoot around the corner with Wei and along the delivery doors, a narrow downhill lane not much used. Wei's hair bounces in the breeze we create with our passage. Her arms around my neck and her body moves against mine, soft and faintly cool yet.

Bursting through the trees, we see it. A landscaper's dream. A fair sized pond set in a copse of trees, all but hidden from view of the parking lot and the street. There are benches and a small trail winding around it, though as evening has approached only one elderly couple is walking there. They gape at us a moment, they hurry off, too embarassed (or maybe sympathetic to our youth) to complain to mall security.

At the bank of the pond, I set Wei down. For a moment, hand in hand, we look at the still, cool water. A pain of swans are gliding across the opposite shore. It is spring fed, or else has a fresh water feed coming from somewhere for its smell is crisp and inviting. A faint breeze stirs among the trees and caresses our bodies as the stars twinkle brightly above and a benevolent moon seems to smile down on us.

Turning, I take Wei in my arms again. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I know I am hoping The others are okay, that as the humans wake they'll be so confused with what they've seen they'll shake it off.

But, another part of me, the part in the here and now, hopes that our friends, and the Professor and Ms. Frost don't hurry too fast. For in the spill of moonlight, Wei has an ethereal beauty that is breathtaking.

Drawing her close, I let my hands slowly caress her back as our lips once more come together. Her lips taste of rain, of rippling creeks, of secret pools, spring fed from deep underground, within secret grottos. Our tongues tease and dance as our bodies press together. Her nipples press into my chest, her sleek belly slithers slightly across the hard ridges of mine. Wei's thighs ripple against mine. I can feel the warmer moistness of her cunt caressing the hard, long length of my cock as it pushes against her.

Then, she's laughing, pulling away, dancing along the edge of the pond and I chase after her, desire and a joy in play overcoming the last of my reason.

Suddenly, Wei stops, as if listening to an unseen voice. I catch up with her and take her hand, asking..."What is it, babe?"


OOC: *L* Isolde, evidently we started working on our posts at about the same time so I did not see yours until I posted this originally. I went back and made a slight change to the end of mine.

 

[Neale]

Professor X

OOC:Let me add my admiration to Isolde's... You have all done a bang-up job here on this thread. Thank you all for the excellent writing, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where we take this next

Professor X had been monitoring the situation closely from nearby, hidden from view. When he recieved Emma Frost's message, he had almost decided to step in, himself. Thank you, Emma. I agree. They have all done a remarkable job thus far, and deserve to be congratulated. I'll smooth over what few ripples they have left, gather my students, and take them back to Westchester. Good luck you, Emma. Take care.

Charles rolled his wheelchair out into the mall, amongst the still-dazed audience Emma's student had gathered. He touched as few minds as possible, as lightly as possible, and left them all feeling that they had seen a remarkable performance. Which they had.

He then broadcast a message to each of his students, Students, I have been monitoring your activities. Please meet me at the van. It is time to go.

Charles smiled to himself. He knew they would probably take his somewhat stern words as an admonition, but he couldn't resist teasing them just a bit. He was very, very proud of each of them, and would let them know just that on the ride back to the school. For now, though... they could sweat just a little bit.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

Somehow the Professor's message manages to find itself though my lust hazed brain. Whatever Wei's power, it still has me faintly in her grip. Besides that, I don't want to just leave her here, not like this. Not to mention I have this other little problem, one Wei and I both share.

Wei is still frozen as if listening to some inner voice. I'm no telepath, but I hope the Professor is still kind of wandering around in all our brains or has some way to hear me.

Professor, I think as hard as I can, could use a little help here if you and Ms. Frost can hear? me. Wei's like she's in some sort of trance and, well, we're both just a little bit, er, naked. I try to conjure up a picture of the pond in my mind, where it is located in relation to the van.

I'm not cold, but shiver all the same as I see what looks like flashlights still some ways off shining into the trees around us...and getting closer.

 

[Neale]

Professor X

Emma, we have a slight problem. Charles' mental voice was tinged with amusement. It seems that each of us has a naked student to deal with, out in the parking lot area. Can you meet me there? I cannot alter minds to ignore two naked young people at this distance, and your young lady's mind needs the touch of a trusted person.

 

[Gaea]

Zoe was blushing a little bit, after Lucas' exposition and consequent flight from the fountain. She chided herself for feeling so insufferably childish, but she had an almost uncontolable urge to giggle, forcing herself to take refuge behind Vincent so nobody could see her embarrassment.

It was certainly turning out to be an eventful day.

She started to pull away from Vincent, but was stopped by a sharp pulse. A throbbing... painful, at best. What had they said? That he was a parasite, feeding off living energies and mutant pow-

Uh-oh.

By being in contact with him using her psychometabolics, she'd 'tricked' his body into thinking she were merely an extension of his own being, an integrated component. Apparently, he'd come to that conclusion, too. However, now that they were effectively a complete circuit, separation could prove to be difficult. Easiest route would probably be to just let him drain her until she passed out... but he didn't have any idea just how deep her psi ran. It would most assuredly be an unpleasant experience for both of them. Chalk that up as 'Last Resort.'

She nudged him a little bit. "Vincent... can you shut it all the way off?"

 

[BadForm]

Ahn-Dao Chan: Pain

Ahn-Dao was pulled to the surface by Miss Frost's powers, and that was a form of shifting akin to a trigger. She screamed a silent scream as she awoke. Her head felt as though a sledge-hammer was pounding against it, and she felt nauseous. She hated waking up like this, generally when she woke suddenly. It always took a few moments to gather her wits enough to focus beyond the pain. At first, she could not even control the winds of her own body, which whipped from high force to gently breeze.

Half-conscious, and half-visible, she turned to look at the man who was holding her, or rather, trying to as he now had her body passing back and forth over, around and between his arms. He was a stranger, though one who she felt she had met somewhere before. Also, he was naked - which was intriguing. Never before had she woken up next to a naked man.

"Who are you?" her whispering voice asked.



OOC: FYI - some of the multiples I have known have said when they rapidly switch between personalities, it leaves them with a near-migraine headache, which is how I'm playing this one.

 

[Ask For More]

James Tao

OOC: Again further apologies...i've been on planes the last few days and am now on the other side of the world...


Finding the water supply had been somewhat of a difficult task. I had to 'ask' a security guard where it was, and disable a few cameras, but I finally managed it. When I got back above ground the crowd had dissapated somewhat. At least something had been succesful. Looking around I realised that I couldn't see any of my fellow peers. Where the hell were they? I had lost Angel a long time ago in my descent to the a valves and the others had all vanished.

There is still a cacophony of noise around me, making it difficult to filter out anything useful apart from the Prof's message. That can wait. Focusing, I narrow down some random noises, and I finally hear a couple of shouts about something near the parking lot. Quickly, I run towards it, easily outpacing some security guards and random guys wandering around looking angry. A gap in some tree catches my eye, and I rush towards it, jumping clean through.

The scene in front of me causes a brief moment of uncertainty. I can see Lucas and that mad girl from the fountain, caught in a somewhat compromising position to say the least. I don't know whether to laugh or cry until I see a look of panic on Lucas' face, and I realise something must be done. I quickly take off my top (good thing I wore two layers today) and throw it to him.

 

[TygerEyez]

Tara

ooc: once again, sorry about the delay. Nice work everyone!

bic: I heard a voice somewhere... tickling the edge of my mind. At first, I didn't respond. Too far away.. unsure. Eventually, I recognized Lucas behind it, telling me to wake Martin, and bring myself back. There was a kind of caring tone to his voice, and I liked it. No one had done that before.

Turning to Martin, I smiled softly. "Our work's done, Martin. Wake up." Not exactly what Lucas had asked for, but it should work. The vision started to melt away slightly as Martin slowly disappeared before me. Now, I was alone in the DreamWorld, even if not completely inside it.

I could still keep some resemblance of control over the shoppers' visions if I stayed on the plateau. But from there, I could see lights through the edge of the forest... Lights that neither Martin or I hadn't put there. Security guards... I hadn't thought to reach to them.

They were getting closer to Lucas and Wei. Launching myself from the Plateau, I awoke with a gasp, blinking my eyes in an effort to fully return to my body. I stumbled from the bench, my knees weak from kneeling while my head pounded incessantly.

Still I forced myself close to Lucas and Wei, searching the edges of the mall for signs of the security guards. I blushed at Lucas' lack of clothing, but tried to keep my eyes.... averted.

There, about twenty feet away. I brought my right hand up, and curled my fingers slightly inward, a habit I suppose. I closed my eyes, and brought back the feeling of being on the plateau. Once there, I forced it at them, urging them to sleep, and praying it would work.

The resistance from them ebbed away as they began to crumple, emersed in the same forest scene as the shoppers. I released myself and opened my eyes. Instinctively, my hand curled itself against my chest. I'd tried too hard, too fast, and forced my power. I suppose it had retaliated, burning the soft palm of my hand.

However, the pain didn't register as the ripping headache pounded louder, and louder. I felt my knees buckle as my vision began to darken around the edges. With my last conscious thought, I twisted my body to avoid landing unceremoniously on my face.

 

[sojournerwolf]

Lucas

Wei is...changing. Into some form not quite solid, not quite air. Her whole appearance is changing for that matter. The look of confusion in her eyes as she asks the question is like she had no idea who I am.

My head is starting to clear, and a dammed good thing as those lights are getting closer and closer. "A friend," I say softly, stepping back a bit, hoping she doesn't feel threatened. "Just a friend."

Then, James is in the clearing, tearing off his shirt and tossing it to me. I catch it and do my best to put it around Wei, giving her some coverage. But the odd way her body seems to be surrounded by breezes and air currents makes it difficult. More, her face is contorting in pain.

"James, thanks, man," I say as he comes towards us."You have really saved our asses. Can you get her into the bushes there and try to keep her quiet? I'll see if I can draw those others off."

Damn, if he doesn't move near as quiet and fast as I do. Maybe even more smoothly. He's got his arms around Wei and is leading her off as I sprint in the direction of the lights. When I am sure they can at least glimpse me through the trees, I veer sharply left and howl for all I am worth. Crouching low to the ground, I hope in the darkness they might mistake my fuzzy self for some big dog, particularly if those lights hit the long patch of hair along my spine.

I hear shouts, and a crashing of bodies through brush as the lights cast over and around me. I've slowed so they can get closer and brace myself best I can for a bullet when the lights suddenly start weaving crazily. I lunge over the enbankment of the pond, and fall flat into the mud at the water's edge. Snaking on my belly, I inch up until I can just barely see over the edge of the decline.

Uniforms, some mall security, some cops looks like are stumbling as if they're drunk. They begin, one by one to fall to their knees. I hear one cry out, "Gawd, it's so bee-you-tiful..." that fades into a snore. But that isn't the sound that draws my attention. There is a soft cry, of a voice I know that causes me to turn my head sharply. Behind them, another figure crumples to the ground and catching her scent, I spring back out of the mud and start running towards her.

"Tara, no...," I yell.

 

[Ask For More]

James Tao

The girl is light, and I can easily hoist her onto my shoulders. Trying to ignore her nakedness I push through the trees on the other side of the pond, only to encounter a sleeping guard. Smiling to myself, I realised it must be one of my friends causing this.

Looking around, I sneak back to the parking lot. Again more sleeping security guards and a couple of passers by. I'm more interested in the shopping bags on the floor. Going through them, I find one with some women's clothes, then I carry the girl inbetween two vans; this way it'll be harder for people to see us.
Setting her gently on the floor I offer her the shopping bag.

 

[Vivid]

Martin

It's a long, slow journey as I'm reluctant to release a space where I can be dreaming without the nightmares - even if someone else has to create the dream. I did not expect to be standing in the parking lot, an unconscious girl sprawled on the ground when I awoke however. I just hoped I they didn't make me cluck like a chicken.

I recognized Tara on the ground immediately and put my coat under her head.

"What happened?" I turned to Lucas. It was then that I noticed he was stark naked. Damn! I miss a lot when hypnosis is involved.
