Rec Room

[Wanda] Wanda woke up with a start, surprised to find that she'd spent the night in the recliner in the rec room

[Wanda] She looked around the room - it was still kind of dark, it looked like the sun was just starting to rise

[Wanda] Jamie was still sleeping on the couch

[Jamie] "For the last time, the cat did it" Jamie mummered in his sleep

[Wanda] ((lol))

[Wanda] Wanda sighed - remembering last night - she couldn't believe they hadn't gotten in more trouble

[Wanda] Especially after she'd knocked Xavier out of his chair

[Wanda] She'd have left last night, except no one was willing to come with her

[Wanda] Well, she didn't need anyone else, she'd leave on her own

[Wanda] Wanda left the living room and went up to hers and Jean's room

Wanda exits from this room

Wanda's room

Wanda enters this room

[Wanda] ((okay - I suck at this))

[Wanda] All Wanda had arrived with was her backpacking pack

[Wanda] And she'd never unpacked it

[Wanda] She looked over at her roomate who was still sleeping

[Wanda] No, she couldn't wait any longer - she grabbed her pack and just left the room

[Wanda] She hoped she wouldn't run into anyone!

[Jamie] Jamie got up from the couch and looked around "Oh, yeah I started sleeping in here after the room started to smell with Todd in it,' he stood up "Seems like Wanda left, I wonder what's on t.v." he flipped on the t.v. and surfed the channels

Wanda enters this room

[Wanda] Wanda reenters the rec room wearing her hiking pack

[Wanda] Jamie was on the couch surfing channels - like he didn't have a care in the world

[Jamie] "Hey, Wanda, Little Shop of Horrors is on wanna watch?" Jamie asked. "Wait, why do you have a backpack on?"

[Wanda] Wanda went to stand behind the couch

[Wanda] "How can you be watching tv at a time like this!" she whispered

[Wanda] She looked over her shoulder, no the hall was still empty

[Jamie] "What at dawn? Well I use the remote to turn the t.v. on and then I'm watching t.v." Jamie smiled

[Wanda] Wanda was anxious - she wanted off this campus and she didn't want to waste another minute

[Wanda] She adjusted her pack, "I'm leaving. There's no way I'm spending another minute in this place."

[Wanda] "And if you stopped to think about it at all, you'd leave to."

[Wanda] "Especially after last night."

[Jamie] "But running away from problems is not going to solve anything."

[Wanda] "Staying and waiting to get smited doesn't solve anything either," Wanda hissed.

[Wanda] She looked over her shoulder again, "And don't talk so loud, someone will hear you!"

[Jamie] "Everyone else is asleep, Wanda, and please don't leave, we still haven't figured everything else."

[Wanda] Wanda sighed. "Hey Jamie," she whispered, "Do have those files don't you?"

[Wanda] "I'd really like to take a copy of them with me."

[Jamie] "Yes I have the files, Wanda" Jamie sighed

[Wanda] "Well, can I have them?" Wanda looked furtively into the hall again

[Wanda] Still empty

[Jamie] "And you won't have to take a copy, Wanda I'll come with you." Jamie sighed he knew he was gonna regret this.

[Wanda] She hoped that Xavier was *fast* asleep

[Wanda] "You will?!" Wanda's eyebrows went up.

[Wanda] "Well, get your stuff, I'll meet you outside."

[Jamie] "Yeah, someone's gotta look after you." Jamie laughed.

[Wanda] Wanda wasn't losing a second, she turned to go.

[Wanda] "I don't *need* looking after Jamie. But, I'm in a forgein country, I could use a friend."

[Wanda] "And I think you're better off leaving anyway." Wanda shook her head.

[Jamie] "I don't need to take any stuff I can just dupe stuff if I need it, let's go" Jamie said

[Wanda] "Really?" Wanda decided not to stop and think about that.

[Wanda] "Well, come on then." Wanda tried not to *run* for the door.

[Jamie] "Let's go on a grand adventure" Jamie smirked and walked up to Wanda.

The world

Wanda enters this room

Jamie enters this room

[Wanda] The side door closed behind them and Wanda breathed a sigh of relief

[Wanda] She looked around, their was a wall around the university, but other exits than the main gate

[Wanda] She made a beeline for one of those

[Jamie] "So, what do ya wanna talk about?" Jamie asked

[Wanda] "Talk about?" Wanda was surprised, "I just want to get as far from here as possible."

[Wanda] She opened gate and stepped out onto the sidewalk

[Wanda] They were officially off campus now.

[Jamie] "But we could talk to pass the time, you want a dupe to carry yer pack?"

[Wanda] Wanda arbitrarily chose to turn right, and walked quickly in that direction.

[Wanda] "No, I've got it," She said, turning to Jamie. "We don't want to attract too much attention.

[Wanda] "Though," she looked back at the school, "Would it be a good idea for you to leave a dupe?"

[Wanda] "So they don't miss you?"

[Jamie] "Yeah I guess," Jamie created a dupe and sent him back.

[Jamie] "So we could look at the files," Jamie shrugged

[Wanda] Wanda bit her lip - as she watched the dupe go back.

[Wanda] "What happens if one of those gets hurt?"

[Wanda] She spotted a bus stop at the corner

[Wanda] Good.

[Wanda] "Yeah, lets look at the files," she said, as she sat down on the bench.

[Jamie] "I get one hell of a psychic backlash." Jamie told Wanda

[Wanda] Wanda settled her pack down and rested it against her legs.

[Jamie] "Let us see, we gotta yer file Wanda, let's see what embarassing stuff we have in here." Jamie laughed.

[Wanda] "Has that ever happened?"

[Wanda] She looked anxiously up and down the street for the bus. Nothing in sight.

[Jamie] "Aww...your concerned for me' Jamie smiled "yeah, dupe broken an arm once hurt like hell..."

[Wanda] "Yikes! What happened to him after that?"

[Wanda] "Could you reabsorb him?"

[Wanda] Wanda reached a hand out, "Can I see the files?" She asked as an aside.

[Jamie] "Here's your file, interesting stuff in there." Jamie laughed

[Wanda] "You looked at it already?"

[Jamie] "Yeah I reabsorbed him..."

[Jamie] "flipped through it"

[Wanda] Wanda took the file

[Wanda] She flipped through it - "Wow, it was really thorough."

[Wanda] "How had Xavier found out about some of this stuff?"

[Wanda] "Well, I don't want you to have a copy of this," she said, putting it down.

[Jamie] "Oh and Wanda's that's an interesting phobia ya got." Jamie smirked

[Wanda] "but, could you copy the rest of the files for me?"

[Wanda] "Phobia?" Wanda looked up, he couldn't have found out about *that* could he have.

[Wanda] "What do you mean?" She asked innocently.

[Jamie] "that'll be 25 cents for the Xerox.." Jamie held out his hand for the files

[Wanda] Wanda handed back the main bulk of the files - but not her own

[Wanda] "We should each have a copy, just in case."

[Wanda] "And I'll have to owe you - I'm not exactly carrying around a fortune here."

[Jamie] 'Of course if you feel the need to Xerox your butt like people do I'd be happy to see it" Jamie laughed.

[Wanda] Wanda looked sadly at her pack - she had about $23.51 to her name.

[Wanda] Wanda raised any eyebrow at Jamie, "People do that?"

[Wanda] Oh look, there was the bus!

[Wanda] Wanda rummaged around in her pack - how much did these things cost anyway?

[Jamie] "Yup," Jamie noticed Wanda rummaging through her pockets "don't worry I'll pay for it."

[Wanda] "Are you sure?" Wanda asked as the bus pulled up, "I'm happy to pay you back."

[Wanda] Wanda pulled her pack on.

[Wanda] Unless you're xeroxing quarters like Todd suggested.

[Jamie] "No you're presence is enough for me sexy," Jamie laughed "I got plenty of money."

[Wanda] Wanda sighed, as she shook her head at Jamie, "Well, you first then."

[Wanda] "Somebody has to pay this guy."

[Jamie] Jamie pulled out some money "Here ya go, come on Wanda let's get on the bus."

[Wanda] Wanda followed Jamie up the steps - she smiled at the driver as they passed him

[Wanda] She was *so* glad they were finally leaving.

[Wanda] It was early early morning - so most of the seats were empty

[Jamie] "So what next?" Jamie asked.

[Wanda] Wanda settled her back on next to here along the line of seats

[Wanda] She breathed out in relief

[Wanda] "Thanks for coming with me, Jamie?" She said smiling at him - she felt better already

[Jamie] "No problem, Wanda, how could I resist" Jamie smiled.

[Wanda] Wanda settled back in her seat.

[Wanda] "Well, you haven't seemed to believe anything I've been saying."

[Wanda] "So, I'm surprised you came along."

[Jamie] "Sorry not a huge fan of conspiracy theories but this is something fun to do, with someone that's a good friend"

[Wanda] Wanda smiled at that. At least she had one friend in all of this.

[Wanda] It was just dawning on her that America was a big country

[Wanda] And she had no idea where she was going

[Jamie] "So where do you want to go, sexy?" Jamie asked

[Wanda] "I only thought as far as 'away', Wanda said.

[Wanda] "Where is this bus taking us anyway?"

aussies enters this room

[aussies] hey

paws enters this room

AttackWomb enters this room

[Wanda] (( ))

[paws]>[aussies] this is an RP aussies - they can't talk to you here

[paws]>[aussies] they are playing a game

[aussies] well got to go to the movies

[aussies] ye

[AttackWomb] aussies, they're having an RP

[AttackWomb] come back to the other room

[aussies] bye talk soon

aussies exits from this room

AttackWomb exits from this room

paws exits from this room

[Wanda] Wanda settled down in her seat again

[Jamie] ((that was odd))

[Wanda] She didn't care where the bus was going - she'd deal with that when she got there

[Wanda] ((that was very odd))

[Jamie] "It says it's going to Salem Center' Jamie answered

[Wanda] Half an hour later Wanda had fallen asleep on Jamie's shoulder

[Wanda] And the bus was approaching the end of the line

[Jamie] "Hey we're in Salem Center, beautiful." Jamie nudged Wanda awake.

[Wanda] Wanda woke up. "Should we get off here?"

[Wanda] She knew the bus would only take them so far

[Jamie] "Yeah, let's get off here." Jamie stood up.

[Wanda] Wanda grabbed her pack and stood up too.

[Wanda] She thanked the driver as they stepped off the bus.

[Jamie] "Let us explore the wonders of Salem Center" Jamie laughed

[Wanda] "OK" Wanda said, she was looking around for a payphone

[Wanda] "Where shall we go first?"

[Wanda] They were by some industrial lot - lots of pavement and big box buildings

[Jamie] "Is there a bowling alley here?" Jamie wondered

[Wanda] "A bowling alley?" What was Jamie thinking of now?

[Jamie] "Well I like Bowling and we can always find a phonebook and find out what to do." Jamie answered

[Wanda] Wanda looked around the lot - there was a big building with flashy signs

[Wanda] It had pins and a ball in its sign - "Like there?" Wanda pointed.

[Jamie] "But most bowling alleys don't open till 8 so wanna go get some breakfast?"

[Jamie] "Yeah that's a bowling alley, wait is it open?" Jamie asked

[Wanda] "I think the sign says it's open 24/7

[Wanda] "Must be fore hard-core bowlers."

[Wanda] "Maybe there's somewhere we can eat there. I'm starving."

[Jamie] "A twenty four seven bowling alley, how odd."

[Jamie] "Well anyway, put on a mask cause some bowlers smoke up a storm." Jamie laughed and almost dragged Wanda into the alley

[Jamie] ((let us create a bowling alley))

[Wanda] "After what I've seen in the last few weeks, I don't find anything odd." Wanda let Jamie pull her into the building

[Wanda] ((Go for it!))

The bowling alley - Wonder pins

Wanda enters this room

[Wanda] ((Okay - that was random))

Jamie enters this room

[Jamie] "Interesting name.' Jamie commented

[Wanda] This place was huge!

[Wanda] "Yes," Wanda said, "This whole place is very bizarre."

[Wanda] She looked around - for so early in the morning - the place had a surprising amount of business

[Wanda] The alley had a dining room - good - walking started walking over to it.

[Wanda] *she

[Wanda] Wanda hoped they were serving breakfast.

[Jamie] "So what do you want for breakfast, Wanda"

[Wanda] The little restaurant smelled heavenly

[Wanda] Coffee and fresh baked goods.

[Jamie] "I'm sure after this I can teach you how to bowl." Jamie smiled.

[Wanda] She glanced up at the chalk board - how bout the early bird special

[Wanda] ""

[Wanda] "I can't believe you want to bowl," Wanda shook her head.

[Jamie] "Alright, waitress, two early bird specials, and one Dr. Pepper." Jamie told the waitress.

[Wanda] "I'd like a coffee with mine" Wanda added.

[Wanda] "Black please."

[Jamie] 'Of course it'll be fun and take your mind off the problems at hand for awhile' Jamie smiled.

[Wanda] "Well, all right," Wanda sat, "How 'bout you find a seat and wait for the food. I want to make a couple of phone calls."

[Wanda] Wanda has spotted a payphone in the restaurant.

[Wanda] *had

[Jamie] "Okay,' Jamie walked over to a booth.

[Wanda] Wanda went over to the payphone and spent several minutes trying to get a connection to Europe.

[Wanda] Collect

[Wanda] Django and Marya didn't have a phone - she'd have to get a message passed to them through an acquaintance

[Wanda] But, who would know where they were?

[Wanda] 15 minutes later she went to join Jamie at the booth.

[Wanda] By then their food had arrived.

[Wanda] Wanda sat down, her elbows on the table and her head in her hands.

[Jamie] "Bout time ya got here, yer coffee is getting cool" Jamie commented.

[Jamie] "What's wrong?"

[Wanda] "Hmm?" Wanda looked over at Jamie, "Nothing really, my parents are just difficult to get ahold of."

[Wanda] "It will probably be a few days before I can talk to them."

[Jamie] "Ahh...I'm sorry."

[Wanda] "Yeah," Wanda smiled at Jamie, "I guess I'm trying to plan my 'escape.'

[Wanda] "I'm sure my parents will help me when they find out what's been going on."

[Wanda] Wanda took a sip of her coffee, it was a little cool.

[Wanda] She took out the folders and rested them safetly on the table.

[Jamie] "I'll guess I'll be willing to help you anyway I can." Jamie told Wanda

[Wanda] She was also glad she had 'evidence' to show the police

[Wanda] "Thanks Jamie," Wanda smiled at him again and reached out to put her hands on his, "But, you've helped out so much already."

[Wanda] "You really are a great friend."

[Wanda] Wanda started in on her eggs and bacon - she really was hungry

[Jamie] "Are you sure you don't want to stay in the U.S. till we figure everthing out Wanda?"

[Wanda] Wanda shook her head, "I think the best thing to do is to just go home. At least there I know how to keep safe."

[Wanda] And keep my powers completely hidden, she thought to herself.

[Wanda] "What about you Jamie, you're not going back to hte school, are you?"

[Wanda] Wanda looked at him worriedly, after everything, it would be best if he were someplace safe too.

[Jamie] "No, can I come with you? I mean I've always wanted to go to Europe, and these would be a good time." Jamie smiled.

[Wanda] "Really?" Wanda was surprised again, "Is your life at home really that bad?"

[Wanda] She took another sip of her coffee - it really was bad - "If you can arrange for air fare, I don't see why not."

[Jamie] "Nah, Texas is alright, but I like Adventure, and yer life sounds like fun."

[Wanda] "Well, what about your parents? Won't they be worried?"

[Jamie] "As I've told you I have plenty of money, a pretty big credit card, I can pay for both of us."

[Wanda] "And didn't you say something about Texas Tech the other day?"

[Jamie] "Wanda, I have a dupe there, it's fine."

[Wanda] "Or was that A&M?"

[Wanda] "Aww Jamie, I don't want to be in your debt!" Wanda said.

[Wanda] "You have a dupe at another college?"

[Jamie] "Wanda it's fine, it's a gift."

[Wanda] "Wow, they really get around."

[Jamie] "No, I mean Yes, I have a dupe at Tech, and up at Xavier's"

[Wanda] "Well, I'll completely pay you back when we find my parents then."

[Wanda] "Hmm, can your credit card be traced though? I mean if we use it to buy plane tickets?"

[Wanda] Wanda was still thinking along conspiracy theories.

[Jamie] "Wanda it's fine, I don't need to be paid, as for the credit card it'll be fine" Jamie shrugged

[Wanda] "Well good!" Everything was working out fine so far.

[Wanda] "Let's call the airport and get the first flight to Europe!"

[Wanda] Wanda would far rather hang out waiting for her parents to contact her in Paris than Salem Center

[Jamie] "Now are you done yet, cause I'd still like to give you a bowling lesson before we leave." Jamie smiled.

[Wanda] BEsides, her parents had friends there - there would be a house to stay at.

[Wanda] "Let me call the airport," Wanda said. "You get us an 'alley' or whatever they're called."

[Wanda] Wanda smiled at Jamie - he'd helped her so much so far - it was the least she could do to humour him into going bowling.

[Jamie] "Alright...' Jamie went off to get a lane.

[Wanda] Wanda went over to the phone and called the airport to order the tickets.

[Wanda] She was smiling at everyone - so glad she was to be so close to getting away.

[Wanda] She wrote down the information and then left the restaurant to find Jamie.

[Wanda] There weren't so many people around - but where was he?

Instance - The bowling alley part deux. Jamie/Wanda

Post by fourpawsonthefloor »

[Jamie] ((last time we left Jamie was going to find Jamie in the bowling alley, right?))

[Wanda] ((Jamie must do that a lot - missing Jamies))

[Wanda] There were so many people ambling around the bowling alley - but where was Jamie?

[Wanda] Wanda looked around trying to find him

[Jamie] Jamie was setting up on Lane 35 and 36.

[Wanda] ((Two lanes?))

[Wanda] Wanda was still in the main lobby of the bowling place.

[Jamie] ((It's what league bowlers do...cross bowl))

[Wanda] Wanda wandered up to where the seats and the wooden alleys were and finally spotted Jamie

[Wanda] "Sorry I took so long, they had me on hold."

[Wanda] Wanda looks around at the playing arrangement - just how did bowling work anyway?

Jamie enters this room

[Wanda] ?

[Jamie] ((power flickered out switched to laptop,))

[Jamie] ((It's back on..))

[Wanda] ((Thunderstorms again? Dangerous ))

[Jamie] "Alright Wanda, now it's time to have a fun lesson in Bowling," Jamie greeted his friend "Anyway lets start with the basics,' he picked up his bowling ball "This is a bowling ball you throw it at the pins"

[Wanda] "Throw it?" Wanda raised an eyebrow, "It looks too heavy?"

[Wanda] Wanda looked around at the people on the floor

[Wanda] To get a better idea of how the game was played.

Jamie enters this room

[Jamie] "Well it's not really throw, but roll, would you like me to demonstrate?" Jamie asked.

[Wanda] "Sure," Wanda said.

[Wanda] "Go for it."

[Jamie] "Alright first ya gotta make sure that you have bowling shoes, on" Jamie lifted up his feet "You grab a ball, line up like so, you begin the approach, release and follow through." "and now for the demonstration part of it," Jamie rolled the ball.

[Wanda] "Bowling shoes?" Wanda looked at Jamie's feet - the shoes weren't all that nice. Wanda followed Jamie up on the floor and watched him roll the ball.

[Jamie] "Come on get a strike," Jamie cheered the ball on "Yes" he cheered and did a little celeberatoy thing "Ohh.." he was a little embarassed "That's called finish work"

[Wanda] Wanda watched Jamie jump around. He'd knocked all the pins down with one ball. This game didn't look *that* hard.

[Wanda] She watched the machinery scoop up the fallen pins - wow that looked complicated

[Jamie] "And since I got two lanes my next ball will be over there," Jamie pointed to 35,"Do you want to give it a shot?"

[Wanda] "Okay," Wanda said. "But, why do you get both lanes - I thought one was mine."

[Jamie] "No it's a format of bowling called cross bowling I guess I should have only gotten one lane." Jamie sighed 'It's what they use in leagues."

[Wanda] "Ah," Wanda said, "So, you're a pretty serious bowler. Did you do a lot of this back hom in Texas?"

[Jamie] "Well it was something to do and it was fun," Jamie laughed.

[Wanda] "Was this something you had a dupe learn?" Wanda asked as she went to pick up one of the bowling balls.

[Wanda] Wow, this was really heavy!

[Jamie] "No I did it myself, I don't have dupes do everything."

[Wanda] "That's good, you don't want to get lazy" Wanda said as she tried to copy what Jamie had done.

[Wanda] Jamie was in the second lane - Wanda arranged her fingers in the holes - which were roomy - and attempted to swing and 'throw' the ball.

[Wanda] It hit the floor with a bang and then slooowwwlly made its way to the ditches on either side

[Jamie] "Oh boy, your gonna need a lot of work." Jamie sighed walking up to Wanda.

[Wanda] Wanda looked sadly at the ball - she wondered if it would be ok to try to hex it.

[Wanda] "I suppose I should walk out there and get it back?"

[Wanda] The ball had stopped half way done

[Wanda] *down

[Jamie] "First we're gonna need to get you a lighter bowling ball with smaller finger holes., Oh I'll just call the front desk and they'll send someone to get the ball."

[Wanda] "Oh," Wanda felt bad that someone had to be called in to help. "Maybe I should try a lighter one."

[Jamie] "Here,' Jamie handed her a ball try this one.

[Jamie] "Here,' Jamie handed her a ball try this one.

[Wanda] Wanda went back to look at the other choices

[Wanda] Then took the one that Jamie offered.

[Wanda] "Hey, this is much better!" Wanda smiled and walked back over to the lane.

[Jamie] "Hopefully you'll keep it on the lane this time,' Jamie joked.

[Wanda] Wanda smiled grimly and went to roll the ball again.

[Wanda] This time the ball stayed more in the lane but angled away towards the end so that only one pin at the end wobbled.

[Wanda] Eventually it fell the rest of the way over.

[Wanda] "Well, that was a little better."

[Jamie] "Before you know it you'll be knocking down 5 pins" Jamie laughed.

[Wanda] "I'll be happy with that," Wanda says, and steps out of the way when the people come to clear the other ball from the lane.

[Wanda] "Do I try to knock down more of them now?"

[Jamie] "Well, ya move over to the other lane, the good news is I saw what ya were doing wrong." Jamie walked over to Wanda.

[Wanda] "Do I need to wait to get my ball back?" Wanda looked over at the conveyer belt.

[Jamie] "Yeah it should take only a few seconds."

[Wanda] Wanda recovered the ball when it appeared on the conveyor belt.

[Wanda] It was red, which was her favorite color, and sparkly.

[Jamie] "Alright so you want to know what was wrong?"

[Wanda] "Of course," Wanda said. "You're the expert."

[Wanda] "

[Wanda] "How do I knock them all down at once?"

[Jamie] "Well your arm went way off to the side, you need to keep it straight, for it to hit the pocket." Jamie told Wanda.

[Wanda] "Pocket?" Wanda asked. "All right, this time I'll keep it straight."

[Wanda] Wanda stepped back and then went to roll the ball again.

[Wanda] Something made a loud beeping noise when she took a step forward, but the ball was goign straighter.

[Wanda] It was just a little slow.

[Jamie] "Um...ya stepped over the foul line, Wanda."

[Wanda] Most of the pins tipped over.

[Jamie] "That was pretty good, Wanda, now can you pick up the spare."

[Wanda] "Spare?" Wanda asks.

[Jamie] "Wanda, a spare is when you knock down all the pins ya missed on the first ball."

[Wanda] "Ah," Wanda said. "And went to retrieve her ball."

[Jamie] "Anyway that's the 3 pin standing up there so try and aim for it" Jamie pointed down the lane.

[Wanda] Wanda concentrated and sent the bowling down the lane again.

[Wanda] *bowling ball

[Wanda] It almost, almost struck the 3rd pin

[Wanda] Wanda made a quick hand gesture and the ball made a sudden turn - knocking the pin down

[Wanda] "Yay!" Wanda jumped up and down - and then caught the eye of the guy in the next lane over.

[Wanda] He didn't look friendly at all.

[Jamie] "Good job, Wanda" Jamie grinned.

[Wanda] Wanda grinned back - trying to ignore the scary looking guy that was still watching them.

[Jamie] "Before ya know it I may bug ya to bowl on leagues with me."

Thug2 enters this room

[Wanda] Wanda grinned at the compliment

[Wanda] "But do they allow 'powers' in the bowling league?"

[Wanda] It's Jamie's turn to bowl.

[Jamie] /TO Wanda what ever you want....

[Jamie] "Well they're no rule againest powers Wanda" Jamie smirked "Now watch from a pro," Jamie laughed and grabbed his ball.

[Thug2] '

[Wanda] Wanda stood back to watch.

[Wanda] While she was waiting she noticed the sparkle of her scarlet ball returning

[Wanda] And retrieved it

Thug enters this room

[Wanda] Thug> Does Thug have a first name? 2's is Ed

[Jamie] "See, Wanda," Jamie pointed at his strike on the board "That's what I hope to teach ya to do one day." Jamie smiled

[Wanda] "Yes, Jamie," Wanda said, "I aspire to reach your level one day."

[Wanda] Wanda watches Jamie move over the next lane.

[Jamie] "Yes my mad skills are those to be inspired by,"

[Wanda] And holds her bowling ball up to the light - watching the white of the lights shine on the red.

[Jamie] "Now to get three strikes and get my picture up there." Jamie joked.

[Wanda] "Good luck, Jamie." Wanda said.

[Jamie] "I'll need it Wanda," Jamie prepared to roll the ball down the lane.

[Wanda] Wanda was slightly distracted by a flash of light or something as she watched Jamie

[Wanda] Her powers jumped without her really noticing

[Wanda] Suddenly the ball in her hands felt light - and fluffy - and...warm?

[Wanda] Wanda looked down and was horrified to see black beady eyes and a twitching nose.

[Wanda] She screamed and the rabbit flew up in the air

[Wanda] Only to land on the wooden floor and zip away across the other lanes.

[Jamie] Jamie turned around from rolling a strike and looked at what Wanda was holding "What the hell?" he wondered

[Thug2] Ed Guin had seen the whole thing.

[Thug2] "Bleeding mutants." he said, under his breath

[Jamie] "Wanda how the hell did you do that?" Jamie asked

[Thug] Bill heard his brother say something about mutants he had heard Robert Kelly talking about those abominations the other day.

[Wanda] Wanda is still panicky and shaking. She just shakes her head.

[Thug2] Ed looked over at his brother Billy, "Somebody should do something about this." He says to him. The rabbit is picked up by someone at the other end of the lane.

[Wanda] "Ugh." Wanda goes to sit down on the seats of the booth and puts her head in her hands.

[Wanda] Why did it have to be a rabbit? Rabbits always creeped her out.

[Jamie] "Wanda, do ya wanna leave?

[Thug] "Of course if these mutants are as bad as Kelly says it's our duty."

[Wanda] Wanda looked up to see Jamie, "Do you think anyone saw?" Wanda had been talked to keep her powers underwraps.

[Wanda] But, she didn't really believe that anything bad would happen if someone had seen.

[Jamie] "I dunno, they may be wondering what a rabbit is doing here but I'm not sure."

[Thug2] Ed nodded. Billy was right. Wonder Pins was their favorite hang-out - having 'muties' hanging around was not good for that atmosphere.

[Jamie] "You seem a bit shaken, Wanda." there was some concern in Jamie's voice.

[Wanda] "Did you get the strike?" Wanda wondered.

[Wanda] She was a little shaken.

[Wanda] "I just have this thing about rabbits," she said.

[Jamie] "Yeah, I got a turkey, and even got my picture up there." Jamie chuckled.

[Wanda] "Really?" Wanda looked up, trying to see.

[Thug2] "C'mon Billy," Ed said, "Let's do something about this."

[Jamie] "Oh...yeah....well I'll be sure to get you a red bowling ball one day as long as you promise to not turn it into anything" Jamie tried to lighten the mood.

[Wanda] Wanda hadn't realized that Jamie had noticed how much she'd liked the color.

[Thug] "Right behind ya."

[Wanda] "There's no reason to leave, let's keep going, maybe you'll set a record!"

[Thug] "No I'm pretty sure that a 300 has been bowled before." Jamie laughed, "and since you seem to be bowling ball challenged at the moment it's yer call."

[Thug2] Ed started over to the next lane where the two mutie kids were talking. He glanced over his shoulder to see that Billy was still there.

[Jamie] ((dammit))

[Jamie] "No I'm pretty sure that a 300 has been bowled before." Jamie laughed, "and since you seem to be bowling ball challenged at the moment it's yer call."

[Wanda] "Bowling challenged." Wanda repeated, "Yeah, that's me. So, it's not a big deal if we leave now? Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to hang out at the airport for awhile."

[Wanda] "Our flight leaves this evening."

[Thug2] ((hehe - make your windows different sizes - it helps ))

[Jamie] "I'm fine with that." Jamie shrugged.

[Thug2] "Hey you, muties." Ed said, hoping his voice sounded gruff and tuff enough. "Why don't you git out of here?"

[Thug] "Yeah...." Bill agreed.

[Thug2] Ed was happy he had his brother backing him up, "We don't like yer kind around here."

[Jamie] "Well I never expected New Yorkers to be like this I mean I may be from Texas, but I'm sure we can settled our differances."

[Wanda] "Muties?!" Wanda questioned, who was this guy.

[Thug2] "Texas, huh, well, maybe you should go back there." Ed told the dark haired kid. This kid was way smaller than him - he didn't need his brother to take him on.

[Thug2] Ed advanced, punching his fist into his other hand.

[Thug2] "Or do you need help finding hte door?"

[Jamie] "Punch me in the stomach, betcha I double over." Jamie grinned this idiot had no idea what he was getting into......

Thug enters this room

[Thug2] "If that's the way you want it, kid." Ed grinned, showing a mouthful of rotting teeth.

[Thug2] He pulled back and swung - there was nothing he liked better than taking down mutants.

[Thug2] He was going to send this kid to the hospital

[Thug] Billy hung back it looked like his brother could take this kid.

[Wanda] "Hey!" Wanda said, "There's no reason to hit him!"

[Wanda] She jumped up and looked around for help.

[Wanda] She hadn't noticed before how many scary people were in the place this early - there were lots of people standing around

[Wanda] And just watching

[Jamie] "Wanda, I'll be fine." Jamie rolled his eyes.

[Wanda] "Maybe we should just leave." Wanda said, trying to pacify the situation.

[Jamie] "Why, I can take this joker." Jamie answered.

[Thug2] Ed let his punch fly - with all his strength behind it.

[Thug2] When the guys heard what he'd down

[Thug2] *done

[Thug2] he'd be a hero!

[Jamie] "The question isn't whether you're screwed," Jamie and his dupes grinned "It's by what multiple you're screwed."

[Wanda] Wanda tried to jump over - to grab Jamie by the arm and haul him out of here.

[Thug2] Ed blinked, shocked - suddenly, there were three of these kids!

[Thug2] How had that happened?

[Wanda] But, the other guy was in the way.

[Wanda] She tried to get around him.

Jamie enters this room

[Jamie] 'Let me get in a fair punch Wanda." Jamie told the girl.

[Wanda] Wanda wasn't sure Jamie would have much effect on this guy - he was big and scary looking

[Thug2] Now the kid wanted to punch him?

Thug enters this room

[Thug2] Ed stood up to his full height - "I'd like to see you try, kid." he said.

[Thug2] He was a little disconcerted with teh whole now there's suddenly three of them thing - but he could still take on a *kid*

[Thug2] Where was Billy in all this anyway?

[Wanda] Wanda jumped up on the chair - better to run over and grab Jamie - whichever Jamie was Jamie...

[Jamie] "What's the deal Wanda?" Jamie asked as she grabbed his arm.

[Wanda] Wanda wasn't sure if this was the real Jamie - she looked from one to the other and then up at the guy Jamie wanted to punch

[Wanda] "If you're the real Jamie," Wanda said, "Let's get out of here!"

[Thug2] "So, the kid was all talk." Ed just stood there with his arms crossed. He was surprised the kid had withstood his best hit.

[Thug2] But, getting them to leave the place was his intention all along.

[Thug2] "Listen to the girl," he told the kid, "Get out of here and don't ever come back."

[Wanda] When she stopped to think about it, Wanda realized Jamie probably couldn't be hurt.

[Wanda] At least not by anything this guy could do to him, he;d just make more dupes.

[Jamie] "Why so wastes of sperm like you can thump your chest?" Jamie asked the man.

[Thug2] This kid had a dirty mouth, Ed was going to teach him a lesson.

[Thug2] "Why you" - he said - but couldn't come up with much more.

[Thug2] He advanced on the kid again

[Thug2] Where was Billy?

[Jamie] "Let's face it for all you know I could be melting your brain right now, of course if you had one it'd be something to worry about."

[Wanda] Wanda looked around the place again and noticed that everyone was still staring

Thug enters this room

[Wanda] They should really get out of there. She looked at Jamie's attacker - this time she wasn't so worried about Jamie.

[Thug] Billy had almost split after that kids powers had been shown, but he had slowly inched back....

[Wanda] But, how many dupes could he make?

[Thug2] Ed hoped Billy wasn't going to wuss out on him.

[Thug2] Now it was four against two

[Thug2] Ed reached out to grab the kid in the middle by the throat.

[Thug2] Once he had him, he was going to wash his mouth out with soap for talking about a TRUE human that way.

[Wanda] Wanda wondered what Jamie was doing sticking around

[Wanda] They obviously weren't welcome here

[Wanda] These guys looked so scary though

[Wanda] And the men and women around the alley - Wanda had never felt so terrible about having powers before.

[Wanda] Why was everyone looking at them like that?

[Thug2] "C'mon Billy," Ed said, "Let's get these kids."

[Jamie] "Well I'll leave it up to you Wanda, do you want me to teach him what being a mutant is all about or leave?"

[Wanda] Wanda wasn't a fighter at heart at all. "Let's get out of here!" she said. She hoped the Jamie talking to her was the real Jamie.

[Thug2] Ed made a grab for the kids throat.

[Jamie] "Okay, seeya assholes later." Jamie flipped the guys off as he followed Wanda.

[Jamie] "Whoaaa...close there," one of the dupes said "but alas we must leave, we'll miss you"

[Thug2] "And don't come back." Ed said. Grinning and satisfied. He went over to Billy and thumped him on the shoulder.

[Wanda] Jamie's dupes were crazy - Wanda turned around - glad to be getting out of there.

[Wanda] "Do you need to return your shoes?" She asked.

[Wanda] Wanda was still wearing her real ones

[Thug2] "Good Job," Ed said to Billy, "We sure showed them."

[Jamie] "I guess," Jamie pulled off his shoes and threw the over in the direction he had walked from.

[Wanda] Wanda aimed at the shoes and her hex powers returned them neatly to the counter

[Wanda] But, another bolt accidently struck the cubbyholes behind the counter

[Wanda] And the whole set up slipped off the wall and came crashing down.

[Wanda] It was definitely a good time to leave.

[Jamie] "So what's next, Wanda?"

[Jamie] "So what's next, Wanda?"

[Thug2] The kids had left the building. Ed watched them go out the door. Leaving a mess behind them

[Thug2] Typical muties.

[Wanda] Wanda stopped on the sidewalk outside Wonder Pins and sat down.

[Wanda] She wiped some stray tears from her eyes.

[Wanda] "Have you ever been in a situation like that before?"

[Jamie] "Once, but I came out alright." Jamie grinned.

[Thug2] Wanda sighed. "I guess all that Xavier was saying last night is starting to make sense."

[Thug2] *whoops!

[Wanda] Wanda sighed. "I guess all that Xavier was saying last night is starting to make sense."

[Wanda] "About having a safe place for mutants to be free from people liek in there."

[Wanda] "I never realized it was such a problem before."

[Wanda] "Even if my parents made sure I never used my powers in public."

[Jamie] "I guess it is..."

[Wanda] Wanda sighed again, "Do you think they might be all right? I mean at the school."

[Wanda] "Not out to get us or anything?"

[Jamie] "Nearly everyone can be right about something..."

[Wanda] "But, then," Wanda said, "You never thought there was a problem to begin with, did you?"

[Wanda] "Should we just forget about the plane tickets?"

[Wanda] "It's still early, maybe no one's missed us yet."

[Jamie] "Sure, why not...I'm sure we can say them for later..." Jamie smiled.

[Thug2] "I'm not sure they'll be good for later - the plane leaves in six hours. But it's not like we paid for them yet."

[Wanda] I'm not sure they'll be good for later - the plane leaves in six hours. But it's not like we paid for them yet."

[Wanda] "The plan will keep till later though."

[Wanda] Wanda stood up. "Should we head back then?"

[Jamie] "Of course, Wanda, and if anyone asks what should we talk them." Jamie grinned.

[Wanda] Wanda shrugged, "We haven't been gone that long, let's just say we went to see the town."

[Wanda] "Because we needed to get away from teh school for awhile."

[Wanda] "Or because I did."

[Wanda] Wanda looked around - she wondered how long it would be before another bus came by

[Wanda] To bring them back to the school.

[Wanda] "I hope it will be all right." She said.

[Wanda] But, Wanda was still worried.

[Jamie] Jamie hugged Wanda "Well the good thing with me is that you'll have an infinite number of friends, now lets head to Xaviers"

[Wanda] And they did.

[Wanda] (the end)

(Hey, I'm working on the Timeline and for sanity's sake, I put both bowling instances in one thread..that cool??)
"If you live your life to please everyone else, you will continue to feel frustrated and powerless. This is because what others want may not be good for you. You are not being mean when you say NO to unreasonable demands or when you express your ideas, feelings, and opinions, even if they differ from those of others.â€
