Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

Leah thought of all the possible things they could do, realizing that most of them involved being outside, but the day was growing shorter so their options were limited. She asked timidly "Well, since the sun is setting, we could either stargaze or do something inside? But I'm not inside much, so I don't know what there is to do other than basketball."

William considered the options and moved to get up and stretch out. "Well if we are going to watch the sun set and the stars come out we need a better vantage point." He told her simply with a smile.

Saskia let Madison torment the little fellow until she heard him lunge for her. She bent down from where she sat on the bed and snatched him up as he emerged before he could get to Madison. "Easy does it there little buddy, were only here to talk, promise. Play nice Madison." She said with a grin as she held the squirming possum.

Saskia moved and set him on the bed before he thought to turn and bite her. "Now why don't you shift back so this conversation doesn't become boring?" She suggested.

Gideon shifted and stared up at Saskia from the flat of his back and then shot a glare to Madison. "What's the meaning of all this? You've invading my private space. You have no right to be in my room uninvited. Now you'd best leave or I'll tell Ryker about this. You'll all be back in the calls for sure!."

"If you do, you little rat fink.....Or better yet, how about I ensure you'll be unable to utter a single syllable. Oh, and break you fingers so you can't even write. What good would you be to Ryker then? How long do you think he'd keep you around all mute and useless?"

Eirik stayed by the door wisely quiet and watched the whole thing. Yeah, definitely didn't want to get on that one's bad side. He thought to himself as he slipped his hands in his pockets and tried for casual.

Leah suggested "I know of a clearing in the forest if you want to head there." She looked at him, waiting patiently for an answer.

Ellie snorted in mild amusement and a bit of anger at his jab at Sam. But then again those two didn't seem to like each other a whole lot. And Sam had been poking her earlier so she dropped it. "No I just met her, we were having a lovely conversation about how nice her teeth are and how thick my skin is." She said a bit jokingly.

Lyra smiled at Alexis and moved to catch up a bit. "I certainly could try and help you with that, however I don't know what good I would be. I have heard its mostly temperament, but I would be happy to tell you what I know if you like. So how well do you know Zaine?" She couldn't help but ask as these two seemed to know each other well.

"Oh, not the teeth." Nick rolled his eyes. "Well it's a good thing you've got thick skin, if you intend on hanging out with her more often." Crossing his arms, he leaned against the edge of the table. "What would you be, if I may ask? Reptile?"

Samantha perched on a corner at the far end of the table so she could listen but wouldn't be obliged to partake.

"Maybe it's tempermant, Maybe it's who you hang with," Alexis said, shrugging her shoulders. She slowed her pace so they could walk side by side. They were both about the same height, but she had always been a fast walker. "Zaine? I don't really know him at all. We're in a couple of the same classes, and he's Dimitri's roommate, but besides that we don't exactly run in the same circles. That back there—" she nodded towards the hall they had come from. "—Pretty much my last resort of a confidante. Sorry you had to hear all my complaints."

Lucy gave him a thumbs-up, pleased that he was catching on, but slightly disappointed it cost her a piece to teach him. Oh well. "Yep!" She kept her pieces to the edges, where they couldn't be captured.

Victor copied her, smirking to annoy her some. He moved his piece to the side of the piece, realizing he couldn't be gotten if he hid along the borders of the board. He started flipping her captured piece nonchalantly.

Lucy leaned forward to inspect the board. After a moment of consideration, she moved the same piece previously used. "Dark spaces, diagonal only, for your fyi," she said, straightening up. He had done so thus far, but she added it just in case.

Saskia rolled her eyes at the whole thing but couldn't help the dark smile that spread across her face as she listened to Madison. Then again Madison always managed to bring out her darker side. Saskia laughed a bit at Gideon, reaching out to pat his chest. "Oh aren't you cute, you think threatening me with the cells is going to help you? I am in those puppies every other day for my trouble, in yet I always manage to get out. Funny how that works. " She said as she slid a dark look to Madison and then back to Gideon. "You Madison I was going to try and go good cop on this one but your idea sounds more fun. Shall I cut out his tongue? Or do you want the honors and I'll hold him down?" She said with a twinkle in her eye, she was lying of course, she had little desire to rip into him, but she figured make him scared enough and he would cave and be more reasonable.

Ellie smiled sweetly at him. "Wouldn't you like to know." She said with a little laugh but she told him anyways because honestly she could never play the long game. "Honey Badger, we eat reptiles for breakfast with a side of toast."

Lyra just smiled and reached over to pat Alexis on the shoulder. "Hey its ok, I don't mind hearing complaints, I am good at the listening part. Besides it earned me a room mate for the night and a possible new friend, so I consider this a win in my book. " She said with a smile at the girl.

Eliana smiled she knew he had it in him he just needed a reason to let it out. "Yes you did, very fierce, I was impressed." She told him as she looked out to the mansion and wondered how long it would be before eventually someone came and drug her back to the cell. She didn't want to think about that though. "So does your room seriously have a eye scanner thing?" She asked looking up at him skeptically.

Adrian grinned back as he finished up his dishes and dried off his hands. "Fair point, guess I better sleep in my own room them, and lock the door. For protection, I mean after all I am just a defenseless horse." He said then remembered he didn't have a room and laughed at his predicament.

Alastor nodded slowly, "Yep, in a house full of lock pickers, the traditional lock is no security. Besides, that's the only way to get a sound nights sleep." He said with a bit of humor. But the concern of harm was very real.

"Oh please! You're far from defenseless and we both know it. Which will be good since you have the roommate from hades. " Willow said with a chuckle. "I'd accept a peace offering. Bribes work on me, stud muffin. " She added as she skirted around the stainless steel table and fluttered her eye lashes at him.

Nick waited patiently for the big reveal; it wouldn't be a long wait if her earlier compliancy said anything. Sure enough, she admitted it within seconds. "Sounds delicious. And do you take jelly or just butter with that?" He asked teasingly.

Now Samantha rolled her eyes. "You're a horrid flirt, Nick," she chided.

Alexis smiled happily at her newfound friend. "Lucky for me, you were with Zaine." She stopped to open the cafeteria door. "How long have you known him? He doesn't exactly strike me as the type to go make crowds of friends."
