The Hostel, Malibu, Friday Morning

Jan 04, 2013 10:26

As they stepped out of the portal and started the walk to the beach house where the team lived, Victor was feeling good about bringing Olive to meet his friends. Sure, there had been a couple snarky comments about redheads, and some genuine concern about bringing somebody without powers to the house even for a day, but ... he was home and it was a ( Read more... )

For getting to the house and meeting everybody!

"Only mostly," Olive offered, trying not to actively wince. That'd be a great impression, right? Victor's friends were on the other side of that door, and the first time Olive met them was not going to be when she looked like she was in pain, thank you. "I hope they don't ask anything I can't actually answer."

"Like what?" Victor asked, freezing in place. (From behind the door, she might hear a muffled 'Is that them? Let me - Ow!') "It's not like you're the one who normally has to keep secrets."

Re: The Inquisition dirtiest_skank January 4 2013, 19:17:39 UTC

"Oh, like something I don't know the answer to," Olive said, shaking her head. "Mostly a joke. It sounds like they know we're out here, though."

And cue her putting on a smile for her soon-to-be-audience.

Truth or Dare ultron_junior January 4 2013, 15:31:33 UTC

After the younger girls had gone to bed, Chase, Nico, Karolina, Victor and Olive moved into the living room for some slightly more grown-up fun. Victor had dared Karolina to fly around the beach house and over the ocean, and was passing the time until she got back talking to Chase and Nico about the Sons of the Serpent.

"So wait," Chase asked, "Do these guys have anything to do with Cobra? As in 'commander'?"

"No," Victor explained. Again. With a slight glance and shrug in Olive's direction. "Totally different serpent commandos."

"Oh, sure, everyone knows that serpent commandos are like their own entire sub-genre," Olive said knowledgably, nodding like she had any idea what she was talking about.

"These guys are real," Nico explained -- mostly to Olive, because she'd decided Chase was being dumb on purpose again, and Olive at least had an excuse for not knowing this stuff. "Meta GI Joe is not. The ones we're talking about are white supremacists."

"So they dress up like snakes?" Chase asked, and ... okay, maybe he was being dumb on purpose a little bit. Just because it was fun to exasperate Nico and Victor and their smarter-than-him stuff. "How does that make their point? Are these guys complete morons or something?"

"They're white supremacists, Chase," Nico repeated. "So .... yes."

Before anybody could get any more exasperated, a rainbow-colored Karolina crashed back through the open window, startling the sleeping Old Lace as she passed just over her head. She giggled as she knocked Chase over, too entertained by her own daring to apologize.

Nico's "LOOK OUT!" was more than a little tardy.

Olive also lunged to the side, just...in case. She at least had good reflexes, even if they weren't necessarily applicable in this case. And thankfully, she'd seen Tie-Dye Karolina before, or this would be the part where she had a lot of questions.

"That's one way to make an entrance," she noted dryly, wondering if her own Karolina was going to start doing that. She'd have to be on her guard.
