- Noriko Ashida has posed:
It's been a long day in the sun, drinking root beer and loading up on mounds of meat and carbs. Now Noriko is cracking open a tube of aloe vera on her back on one of the couches situated around the pool table, something she has a tendency to haunt over other forms of entertainment.
"I guess the water will feel just fine tonight," Noriko muses to herself hopefully. "If I don't fry myself." There's a group of students in the corner learning how to play Werewolf for the first time. The rules drone on a little in the background, mixing in with someone else's pop rock. "This place is just a different kind of hell," Noriko says to the ceiling.
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney pokes her head up from behind the couch. It was easy because for whatever weird reason no furniture here ever seemed to be right up against the walls. Maybe so they could be cleaned behind... whatever the reason she had been back there, and when Noriko bemoans her current situation, she pops up with a grin leaning her arms against the back of the couch itself. "Nah, hell is way different. At least the part I was in," she reasons with a thoughtful glance up toward the ceiling at the same time.
"It was more like an outdoor market full of the worst stuff you can imagine and a lot of dry air and cliffs out of no where."
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
Noriko cracks her eyes open at the springy girl. "Yeah. Did someone take you there on some kind of trip?" Of course that word has a meaning that's more than skin deep here. She grins slightly and squeezes out a little aloe vera to let gloop down onto the skin. "So what are other parts?" Noriko assumes to know that different parts of hell to be different would me one would have to see two different parts to compare.
"Like, just grotesque stuff or things you really want but can never afford or...?" There is no bridle for this restless 18 year old's imagination.
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney shakes her head a little bit at that. "Yeah, Illyana and a few of us went there to get Julian's soul back. His father sold it when he was a baby. Real dick," she affirms with a completely straight face. Planting her hands on the back of the couch again she hops up, and flips herself over to end up sitting beside Noriko. Better than having to crane her neck the whole time.
"It's different all over. Not like you'd think though. It's kind of... what ever you want it to be? Or don't want it to be. Either way though it was just not pleasant to begin with. It feels... weird being there. I mean, I get over it pretty well with my healing factor but others start to kind of forget themselves."
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
Noriko smiles when Gabby flips herself up and over. "Slick." She closes the aloe and tosses it down into her open, faded lime green backpack. It's seen better days.
"Huh. Yeah. I get it. Your own personal hell. It's the only way to make it the worst possible for each person right? Funny. I never knew it was an actual place." Noriko lifts her gauntlet to check her charge levels.
"I wouldn't survive there. I heal faster just by speeding up my metabolism. I'd probably accidentally mindwipe myself. Were there any creatures there? How did you get there?" Gabby has opened Pandora's box. This is all her fault. "Like they forget their memories? or they forget themselves and go all Lord of the Flies on each other? Or," and she says the the name of the movie Battle Royale in Japanese before saying, "Battle Royale."
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney grins with amusement at all the questions. "Oh, Illyana's the Queen of Limbo. That's like... what it's actually called I guess. Long story, but she can portal there and can bring demons out and stuff. I don't recommend pissing her off but she's awesome." A solemn nod is given as she considers further explanation. "Oh tons of demons and stuff. We had to pretend to be demons, too, and used some magic to help." A little shake of her head comes.
"I think that's what made it easy to forget? Like... They just got *too* into it. It's a place that corrupts. Julio really got into it."
Glancing at Noriko a moemnt thoughtfully she asks, "So how'd you get sunburnt? Too much time by the pool? I heard some of the other kids like to go the lake at night sometimes though I think it's more of a 'swimsuit optional' situation."
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Is she hot? I bet she's hot," Noriko muses after Gabby gives her a proper tip when dealing with Illyana, even if she doesn't learn what would piss the Queen of Limbo off.
"I was out all day celebrating Oktoberfest. I forgot my sunscreen." Surge could have gotten it in the blink of an eye but...eh, she shrugs. "Hope suggested the lake for a little experiment she's helping me with. You're welcome to come watch. We're going to do it in the Danger Room though. Sounds like we dodged a lot of butts already." She slouches back into the couch and lets out a soft sigh, "Though skinnydipping does sound fun. But I wouldn't go there. There are way better places." When one can just zip around so quickly of course. She smirks as she looks over to the younger girl.
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney considers the first question a few moments before nodding. "Yeah, Illyana's super hot," she concedes after having to think about it. "But so is her brother. They're just older." With a grin she looks back to Noriko again offering another shrug.
"Sure! Hope's great. I haven't seen her in awhile though. What are you guys going to try doing?" There's a little bit of excitement there at the thought of an experiment. Those were always fun and potentially dangerous.
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Cool." And then after Gabby adds about Illyana's brother also being hot, she nods and mutters, "Cool, cool." Her vocabulary is blooming. Quick, someone get this woman her SATs! Noriko's going places.
Speaking of going places and dangerous things... "I'm going to try and run on water. It's bound to be spectacular no matter what happens!" THERE'S JUST NO DOWNSIDE OKAY? "Yeah, she was a bit easier to talk to than all the girls in my grade. They only care about if I think their latest haircut is cute?" A long suffering sigh. "So it was nice to just talk schemes with someone."
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney seems a little confused about the hair thing and reaches up to tug on her own a moment staring at the ends. "... I guess that's a thing? I mean a boring thing, but a thing. It's way more fun to find stuff to do though." Grinning broadly again she adds, "And I am totally down for seeing if you can run on water. You could use the Danger Room but the lake's just as good! And I can promise the lake is 100% weapon free at this point." She nods solemnly as if this were something that was normal to confirm.
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Agreed. I mean it took me two second to pick this color. I like it. That was that." Noriko seems mystified at the sole preoccupation of her younger peers that she's stuck with.
Noriko's mind is starting to speed up a little now from the trickle of energy build up, but Gabby's words about the lake being 100% weapons free causes a suspicious wrinkle in the older girl's forehead. "What do you mean at this point?" But this question is really more a byproduct of Noriko's impulsive curiosity in this state than any sign of genuine concern.
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Well.... See, they don't like guns here, and I had a bunch of guns from when I was in training to be an assassin so I thought it might be good to have them nearby but not where other students could get them so I put them in the lake in a waterproof lock box, but..." There's the smallest pause to breath before she continues. Hands spread in a helpless shrug. "Jean found out and pointed out that some kids can breathe underwater and so I had to move them again. I mean I get it, not having weapons around people who don't know how to use them, but I'm trained to use them! And while claws are awesome they're not great for long distance attacks." A solemn nod is given, and she adds, "The color looks good. This is just normal for me. I thought of trying to do something but apparently we're kind of hard to do stuff like dye hair on."
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
"It all seems pretty reasonable," absolutely all of it. "Isn't there some kind of market for mutant safe...safes? Couldn't you keep them safe that way? It's not like more than half of these kids could get access to a gun if they really wanted to."
"Guns are cool. It'd be cool to have a gun that I could charge up. But I'd have no idea how to shoot it other than point and shoot. Ooh maybe I can make a nerf gun," Noriko spouts with the naivety of the extremely bored. She scratches the side of her head a little, ending it with a little obstinate ruffle.
"Yeah can you even get a tattoo? I don't have any but I'm thinking about it. That sucks that the hair dye doesn't really work." She looks up to her own hair. "Thanks. I think I'm going to stick with it."
- Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney nods emphatically. "I know right?! But I'm trying to be good here, so I gave them up to the armory. ... I still have my knives though. Throwing knives are fun." As far as guns that she could charge up? That causes her to clap.
"Oh! Ask Hope! She's great with upgrading weapons and has all sorts that aren't projectile based. We could teach you how to aim and everything!" Though would that be possible with an electric gun? Who knows.
"I think we can get tattoos because the ink would be put under the skin, but if it's damaged further we'd lose it? I don't know. I should try to find out." For now she bounces to her feet with a quick stretch of arms over her head. "For now I'm going to go run off some energy and maybe get some s'mores. It was good catching up with you Noriko!" She just couldn't be sitting around too long at times.
- Noriko Ashida has posed:
"Can you show me your knives some time?" Because come on. Hardware. It's just cool. "Oh yeah she said she made some gloves or gauntlets or something to make her untraceable. Pretty badass. Yeah. That'd be awesome." Well Noriko does /try/ to aim with her gauntlets. It kinda works!
"Maybe it only lasts for a certain amount of time? Sounds like another experiment though." Because there's a dangerous trend now. Experiments are way cooler than just asking someone in the know. Noriko nods to the parting girl. "I'll catch you later whenever we get together." Presumably with Hope. Then she just leans back and shuts her eyes.
