Weekend Visit to the Cove

[Izzy Andrade L.]

"I bet so! All of this people here are very interesting indeed," he said with a chuckle. "It never gets boring with this guys!" he commented as he say how Jak was getting scolded.

"Hey you want to play something? I have something in mind," he asked those who were near him. "How about we play Chicken?" Izzy asked. "It's a fun game and now that we are here in the water it's a perfect game to play!" He said.

[Jak Chase]

Jak had a smile on his face before the slime and shrubbery fell on him. The his face went nuetral, although his eyes were covered. He soon disappeared under the water again. Moments later, Jak emerged in front of Bree. "Rah! Water monster!" Jak shouted as he grabbed Bree and tickled her sides.

[Julius Rainmaker]

Julius had been having a conversation with Zen when Jessa and Nick walked over to where he was. He studied the both of them for a moment, a look of concentration on his face.

"Ah.. you two are quite interesting aren't you?" He asked, though it could have been rhetorical.

He tilted his head and glared off to the side before turning back to the two, "Ignore her, she's been a little bitter ever since she died from falling out of a palm tree." He said, speaking of yet another invisable person, as if they could have heard what was said.

"Anyway, what can I do for you?" He asked, pulling out a pipe much like the one he had been smoking when they arrived. However, instead of smoke coming out of it when he puffed, bubbles flew out.

[Bree Aldertree]

Bree giggled and attempted to wiggle from Jak's grasp. She grinned and wiggled her fingers, "I could make you look like a real sea monster," She said, making an empty threat.

She backed up a little and slipped backwards, she let out a squeal and splashed into the water. When she stood back up she giggled loudly and raised her hands as if she meant to do it.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate hadn't really been listening to Izzy and the others. They had lost his attention when Annabelle excused herself to walk toward Jak. His eyes moved between her and Neah, not sure which one he'd prefer to keep an eye on incase something happened.. not that it would.

When Izzy announced that he wanted to play chicken, he turned his head back around and glanced at Izzy, "Chicken? Oh.. alright. You'll loose though." Nate said sounding very confident. He even threw in a cocky smile.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle laughs slightly at what Jak and Bree were doing then felt someone looking at her. She looked up and saw it was Nate and waved at him and stared walking back up to them. She heard them talking but didn't know what about. "What did I miss?" she asked up at Nate, seeing as she had his attention already.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate smiled when Annabelle came back, then shook his head to the side so that his hair would once more move out of his face. It was almost like he thought it would take too much of an effort to use his hands to push it aside.

"Israel wants to play chicken. I said that we'd win." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. But then he leaned down to her and whispered in her ear.

"What's chicken?" He asked, quiet enough so that only she'd be able to hear, and perhaps Alavda since she had vampire hearing.

[Nick Hampton]

"Oh um, w-we w-w-were looking for a net for v-volleyball, S-sir..." Nick said mumbling out a bit, he looked over at Jessa as if for help. He wanted to talk normally to the man, but because of what was running through Nick's mind and the fact that he didn't know this man well, he couldn't help but stutter again.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle smiled up at Nate and nodded in his confidence. Then the realization that it was the game chicken he was talking about hit her, she blushed like mad.

"Oh, well um...you see it's a game that two people play, usually a boy and a girl. The girl will be on the guy's shoulders and you play against another group doing the same. The goal is to push that group into the water..but not let yourself or you part-i mean teammate fall in the water..." she whispered back to Nate and looked up at him, her face compleatly red.

"So...who are you going to pick to be your teammate?"

[Jessa Johanson]

Jessa smiled reassuringly at Nick and then looked at Julius, right in time for a bubble to pop on her nose. She giggled lightly and wiggled her nose a little, then she wiped the access liquid from the tip.

"Um, we also were hoping that you'd have a volleyball or some kind of ball that we could play it with." She said, reaching up and playing with her necklace.

[Julius Rainmaker]

Julius watched the two for a moment, puffing away on his bubble pipe. He took it out of his mouth for a moment and tapped the tip of it to his chin.

"Hm.. a volley ball and a net? I'm not sure.. I'll have to have a look." He said and stood up. He then tilted his head once more, looking to the side.

"I do not lose everything and I would most certainly not lose my head if it weren't attached to my body." He grumbled, his eyebrows knitting together.

He then leaned into his tent and pulled out a medium sized travel case. He wheeled it behind him back to the stool that he was sitting on, and unzipped it. He pulled out a bunch of things from books to jackets. Finally he pulled out a net.

"Ah, here's a net.. here, you can hold this and I'll look for your ball." He said, handing the net to Nick.

He went back to pulling more stuff out of his case, "It seems I have everything in here except for the kitchen sink.. no, wait.. I take that back. Here's a sink." He said, then continued digging.

"Ah, here we go. Its not a volley ball, but it is a small beach ball. Just blow it up and it should work nicely." He said and tossed it to Jessa. Before she could thank him, Julius snapped his fingers and the ball instantly inflated on its own.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate's ears turned bright red as he heard Annabelle's description of the game. When she asked him who his partner would be, he gulped before he could talk. Images ran through his mind of both Neah and Annabelle playing the game with someone else holding them up. His protective nature didn't like either image at all.

"One moment, and I'll let you know." He said and looked back over to Neah. "Hey Neah! Are you going to want to play chicken?" He yelled.

"I'll play next time!" Neah called back. He nodded and sighed with relief, almost.. he'd be able to put off worrying about Neah and some guy. He turned back to Annabelle.

"Um, so.. uh.. do you want to play?" He asked, "I can promise to keep you out of the water." He added, trying to cover his nervousness with sounding confident.

[Nick Hampton]

Nick looked at Julius as if he was crazy when he brought out a bag. Then stood there mesmerized when he stared throwing alot of things out of his bag. "How could he keep all of that stuff in there?" was on of Nick's many thoughts.

When Julius gave him the net, he watched this bag with intent after Julius had brought up the kinchen sink part, Nick had indeed saw a sink in there.

He then watched as he gave the ball to Jessa and told her about the ball. Then watched as it inflated itself. "What is going on in this place??" He asked himself quietly. He was getting as freaked out as Aralynn had seemed to be at this point.

[Alavda Noir]

"Chicken?" Alavda tilted her head. She nearly asked what the game was, but she heard Nate whisper the very thing that she was going to ask after boasting that they would win. When she heard the explanation, she started to wonder what in the world happened over the past few centuries. A game such as chicken would have been very scandalous back in her youth.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to play...she thought that she should at least try it out. Then she remembered about her ability. She didn't want to find out someone's past without their permission --especially in such a manner as chicken!

"I think I might sit this one out as well..." she started to say.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle just nodded her head and saw that he was asking Neah first. It made sense to her since she knew how protective he is of his sister. It did come as a slight surprise that he did ask her.

"You sure you want me as a teammate?" She asked knowing she wasn't the strongest. Sometimes she wished she could be as confident as he was. She could feel off of him though..it was a coverup of how he really felt..and feeling that he was actually nervous wasn't helping her nerves at all.

Her face turned redder and she nodded. "I will be your partner, and I'll try not to let you down.."she whispered up to him.
