Sawyer Larson



Taylor Miles



OOC: Sorry I haven't replied in forever. I had to gather up my muse again xP

Jeda shook her head at Taylor's question.
"Then he'd come back to try to kill me with much more determination. Oh well, besides that would spoil our day...dragging him by the scruff of his neck to the police station. That reminds me, that girl...the one that almost wrapped her car around a pole and had you in the car too. You were drinking alchohol...weren't you Sawyer?" Jeda felt her head lower and her hair shadowed her green eyes. Her skates moved back and she listened to the voice in her head.
'What? Did you expect Sawyer to be perfect? Okay...skate, skate out all of the frustration and hurt.' She thought to herself and Jeda felt the wind on her face. Her wheels sped faster and she spread her arms like they were wings. Jed growled low in her throat as her eyes remained closed. She didn't sense the stone that got lodged in her wheel. Jeda went arm first onto the road and she got up. She looked at the stone once before picking it up and throwing it high into the air, it hit the lamp post half a block away and the lamp post fell over. She flipped backwards and regained her balance flawlessly. Her nails dug cruelly into the graze that went from her wrist to her elbow on her left arm. She had put her arms behind her, blatanly ignoring the blood slowly oozing down to her palm.

Coban

Coban backed away as Jeda began to skate, avoiding the obviously angry and deep in thought girl. Her eyes watched as Jed fell over and then began skating again, digging her nails into the fresh wound. Coban looked over at Thomas and saw the pained expression he wore. She rollerbladed over to him and stood right beside the net.
"What's got your boxers in a twist?" She asked, not looking at him so not to draw attention to herself.
"Even after I almost kill her, each time a part of me...it dies inside. It hurts me to see her so angry because of that black haired boy. It hurts me to see that she digs her nails into her wounds and she ignores the pain. I hate it. And I hate him for making her like this. She's moved on. Damn. But I think I might change my plans. My new goal...is to fight for her love." He replied and Coban sighed.
"Good luck, coz Sawyer doesn't look like he's going to stop falling in love with her any time soon." Coban said before skating back to Nick, Taylor and Sawyer.
"You have competition to win fair maiden Jeda's heart now Sawyer. Thomas has changed his mind...he no longer wants to kill her, but to love her instead." Coban whispered in the wolf-boy's ear. Her milk chocolate gaze went to Thomas as he looked at Jeda longingly through his net.

Nick

Nick flicked Taylor over the head and kissed his cheek. She then quickly slid a glance over to Thomas and swore in an unlady-like manner.
"Sh*t! He's gonna try and make her love him now. Drat, I was hoping that he'd just surrender and fade into the shadows." She nudged her boyfriend and pointed to the expressions rolling across the glass weilding boy. Pain, hurt, realisation, acceptance, descision and lastly...determination.

ooc: oooooh! -brings out banner that reads: 'PLOT COMPLICATION!!!'- I wonder how this will affect Sawyer's chances? Oh well, my muse is shot too. Hmm...did I make Thomas's speech warm and cute? -scrolls up- Yep!

Jeda pricked her keen ears and shot a stream of fire to cut Thomas down. The fire then grew and created a wall between Thomas and them. She heard Thomas running away and she dispersed the fire.
"It's not worth it, besides unlike you, he was separated from his parent when he was moved here. His mother hated the sight of him and he enjoyed being couped up in his room, away from her. When I used to walk home, I always passed his house. I remember my first thought when he talked to me: 'wow, this boy is so kind...but he looked so sad when he was looking out the window.' We got talking and I noticed that he always smiled when he saw me. He was the first person other than Benson and my parents to accept me unconditionally. But now I think its time to bring attention to more people who have accepted me unconditionally. All. Of. You." She threw up her head and smiled gently before offering her hand to Sawyer. Her green eyes met his and she growled mischeviously before hugging him tightly.

"You can smoke when I'm not around, but change clothes before you come any where near me. I can smell it a mile off. Same with the drinking, but don't let Benson catch you. " She kissed him on the cheek and loosened her hug enough for him to breathe. She then noticed the scrape on her arm.
"How the heck did I not notice that?! It's HUGE!" She gasped in astonishment then rose an eyebrow at Coban and Nick.
"Okay...what'd I miss? What happened to make you look at me like I have two heads?" She crossed her arms awkwardly with the graze and looked at everyone else.

Coban Newman

Coban was brought back to reality when Jeda looked at her expectantly.
"Thomas wants to try and win you back." Coban answered, and Nick elbowed her in the ribs for it. Jeda got up from Sawyer's lap and ran a hand down her dress before undoing her hair and shaking her head. The crimson and gold locks fell to just below her shoulder blades, the ebony tips strikingly contrast to everything else.
"Let him try...I am sure of who I want to love. YOU HEAR THAT Thom? I'M NOT THAT STUPID THIS TIME!" Jeda lifted her head and looked up to the sky, Colorado coasted on the wind and Jeda put on her white gloves. The hawk swooped down and landed on her hand, she ran a hand through his feathers and smiled gently.

"I can't believe that she's completely healed from Thomas. She's too brave for her own good." Coban whispered to Nick, who laughed genuinely.
"But that's what we love about her. Hey you guys, wanna see us really rollerblade?" Nick grinned and seized one of Coban's hands before gripping Jeda's free hand in her own. The girls skated backwards and Jeda encouraged Colorado to fly up into the sky. The three of them smiled and bowed from the waist up. A grinning Nick grabbed a small pebble and skated off with it. Coban sighed and pretended not to notice.

Nick/Jaquelline

The pebble lay in white glory on her palm, before she crushed it in her hand and scattered the dust to the wind. Coban made the wind pick up and the glittering particles swirled around them. Jeda pulled out a kunai and rushed at Coban without warning. Coban skated backwards and cheekily evaded the fire powered girl. Nick threw a shuriken at the wind sorceress. Coban slowed the flying piece of metal and looked at Jeda before she nodded.
"GET 'ER! TAKE NO PRISONERS! EXCEPT CUTE ONES! CHARGE!" Coban and Jeda chorused and skated swiftly towards Nick, who shrieked with laughter and evaded them.
"You'll never take me alive! AHH! Somebody do something, I'm being chased by the butterfly hooligans! I must prepare to defend myself!" Nick declared in return and the assailants looked at each other once before skating away and shrieking dramatically in laughter at the hilarity of it all. They were screaming down the deserted street at each other...for no reason!
Jeda suddenly tripped backwards and she never hit the ground.

Jack

Nick's older brother came out of the Sea Cobra and sat on the sidewalk to watch the show. But pretty soon after it started, Jeda fell backwards.

Thomas

Thomas watched as Jeda defended him, but dared him to try and recapture her heart. He sighed gently as she skated around, but managed to catch her before she fell backwards. Thomas pulled her up gently by her uninjured arm. His blue eyes held her green ones captive before Jeda cleared her throat and he let go of her slowly. His blonde hair flopped into his eyes but he rose an eyebrow at the group of boys sitting on the pavement.
"So these are your new friends, huh? So which one is my competition for your fair heart?" He casually strung an arm around her shoulders and focussed his blue eyes on Sawyer. She shrugged out from under his arm and whirled on him in sudden fury.
"Oh no, here we go!" Thomas prepared himself for the onslaught of words but she shoved her hands on her hips and he held out his hand. She turned away from his hand and grabbed her jacket from her back pack.
"I am not something you should fight over, that would destroy both of your souls and rip out my heart. I hated it when you always prepared yourself for a long winded speech and never listened to a word of it. It is too late Thomas, I'm sorry but you've gone too far. No more chances." Her quiet voice felt like a knife being shoved into his gut and he swallowed thickly.

"So you're going to turn me away and give comfort to a boy that is neither animal nor human. He's-" Thomas was interrupted by Jeda's next words.
"Why are you such a child?! You were always jealous, so much that the male population at our old school avoided me completely! If you are so confident that I don't love Sawyer, then prove it! But you can't prove it...you know why? Because you no longer know me. I am much stronger now than I was back then. If you try to hurt any of these people in Pakerwil...I Will. Hunt. You. Down." Jeda hissed furiously and grabbed a handful of his striped shirt, twisting it and was almost about to tear it when Thomas grinned and gently touched his fingers to her cheek.
"Beautiful as always, my dear. But you really have to harness that temper you know." As she recoiled from his touch, she released his shirt. He saluted Sawyer with two fingers and winked.
"See ya later, Sawyer..." Thomas smiled coldly before gathering up glass shards and stepping onto the platform they made. He soon disappeared, but not before Nick stuck her rude finger up at him and Coban poked her tongue out at him.

Jeda crouched down beside the big black wolf and growled like he had.
"See, I can sound like a big bad wolf too. Grrr! Now, stop growling at Jack and I'll tell you something." Jeda wrinkled her nose, so he knew that she was teasing. Then she rubbed Sawyer's furry shoulders slowly, usually a comforting movement. Her mouth was near his ear and she laughed, a breathless sound.
"You know that when you're in this form, I can't kiss you?" She whispered in his ear and then went searching through her bag. Her hand brushed a packet of lolly pops and she grabbed it and pulled it out of the black, silver and sea green back pack.
"I want a grape one! Please..." Coban smiled and took the grape flavoured lolly on a stick.
"Mango for me and lime for Jack, please almighty Jed." nick announced and took the mango andlime lolly pops that were thrown at her with a smirk from Jeda.

"You guys want one? There's like...15 flavours. Unfortunately there isn't watermelon...but there's strawberry or cherry. I pick, strawberry. Hope you don't mind Sawyer." She grinned around the lolly pop stick and offered the packet round to the rest of the friends there. Taylor, Quinci, Parker and Nigel.
"Anyone want to play Snugglebug, or truth or dare or sardines? I'm feeling bored, and this is what I do when I'm bored." Coban grinned mischeviously as Jeda folded her arms and frowned.
"I've only played Snugglebug once, I was twelve and I was said snugglebug. I was found by Jack first...Ugh! But it shouldn't be that bad this time right? But where can we play?" Jeda pouted and then rose an eyebrow at the other girls, who looked at everyone else.

Coban

Coban shrugged and put up her hand.
"I vote we use Jeda's house or mine." She announced and Jeda looked up at her.
"Speaking of your house, I haven't seen it yet. Where is it?" Jeda asked and coban gestured for her to come closer.
"On the outskirts of the fancy pants district. Shhh! It's inside the gate though...hmm, how can we get them in there without them knowing social status?" Coban pondered the question before asking Nick the same thing. Nick didn't know what to do either.
"Pretend to break in." Jeda whispered and Coban gasped.
"What?! But then they'd get suspicious at how you're tagging along, you being a goody two shoes and all." Coban stated and Jeda nodded, tapping her chin with a white gloved finger.
"Good point. Maybe you haven't told me we're breaking into a house?" Jed suggested and Nick and Coban nodded.
"That'd work."

Jeda grinned around the lolly pop stick before shrugging at Nigel's words.
"We're okay as long as I try not to destroy that bloody wall! I live near there anyway, they have to keep a tracker on me to make sure I don't cause trouble. It pi$$es me off! Okay...lets go, you don't mind not going through the gates right?" Coba had been busy taking items that she had strapped on her upper thigh off, and handing them to Jeda. Spare clothes were tossed between the three girls, all dark coloured and fairly plain. Jeda put on a dark burgundy long sleeved shirt, black pyjama (sp?) pants and steel cap boots. The dress was shimmied off expertly and shoved into Jeda's backpack (where they'd come from). Nick put her hair in a low ponytail and grabbed a slate grey long sleeve, with black 3 quarter shorts (her dress joined Jeda's). Coban put on a black long sleeve with the same colour and type of pants as Jeda.
"We're all roughly the same size in clothes, similar tastes too." Jeda tied a bolt of cloth around her mouth and nose, a mask if you will. Her hair was gathered up and shoved back into the hood of her hoodie as she put it up.

A couple of seconds later, all three girls looked similar to ninjas.
Jeda had coiled rope attached to a belt loop, weapons pouch, two Japanese style fans in belt loops on each hip and a long wooden pole strapped to her back.
Nick had two Katanas strapped diagonally on her back and following the lines of her shoulder blades, weapons pouches and a couple of daggers to complete her arsenal.
Coban had a longbow for archery (strapped diagonally on her back), a quiver of strange looking arrow feathers slung over one shoulder, weapons pouches and other unidentified objects too. All in all, a trio of fairly deadly girl ninjas.
"Y'all ready to go? Don't worry, you guys can go through the gates if you want. We need to give a scare to the guards. We feel like going feral for a while. No pun intended Sawyer, Jack can you take the backpack and meet us there?" Coban did a two finger salute to Jack, who nodded and picked up Jeda's backpack. Jeda began to leave before thinking of something and reached into her pocket.
"It'll glow when you get close to us. Jack knows where to go if you don't want to go with the three of us. Be careful off Thomas, if he gets near glass...I don't care if you think you're strong enough, run away. That's how I've been able to survive when I have met him before now." Jeda's words at running away from Thomas, were serious and in a voice she'd never used near the others. She handed the metal bangle to Nigel and closed his palm on it with the soft leather of her gloves.

Jeda went back to Sawyer and crouched before him, taking the wolf's head in her gloved hands and kissed what she supposed was his forehead before letting her left hand trail around his jaw and to his chin.
"Keep safe baby...don't act before you think around Thomas, remember: run and run far if you see him." She whispered and kissed his forehead through the face mask again. She stood up and jogged back to the others.
"Lets go." Coban sighed before starting to jog away. Nick grinned behind her mask before starting to jog backwards and wave with both hands to Taylor and the rest of them. Jeda laughed and nudged the adrenaline filled Nick before doing the same thing and blowing random kisses for a random reason.

ooc: should we continue this thread in the Upperclass: homes section? -is lazy so the characters are all doing actions in Jeda's post... meh-

Sawyer Larson

Sawyer continued to listen from where he was, his gaze shifting from person to person as they spoke. Occasionaly his attention would be diverted by Parker petting him, but he didn't really mind if he missed a couple words that were said. He did, however, break his train of thought away from the petting when he heard the word 'Thomas'. A light growl rumbled in his chest, reduced by the comforting petting he was reciving from Parker. That didn't stop him from letting out a whine as Jeda came near, wishing he was back in his human form at the moment. But that didn't look like it would happen right away so he just settled for listening to her words and gazing up at her with his wild yellow eyes. He nuzzled her gentley whining again when she got up and went to join the others. Parker was tugging lightly on his fur, so he got to his paws and stood next to him, looking over his shoulder to stare at Jeda.

Nigel Perish

Nigel nodded as Coban explained, though was a bit worried when she said "You don't mind not going through the gates right?" It wasn't like he was some goody two shoes that didn't want to get in trouble...alright, so that was exactly what he was. At least when it came to his parents. They already hated him with a passion, he doubted they would be too thrilled if someone caught him climbing over walls to get in or whatever they expected him to do. He played with his fingers while they changed into clothes that resembled something that a ninja would wear. He stood up, still not looking at anyone, then sighed with relief when Coban told him they could go through the gate if they wanted to. That made him feel a whole lot better. Plus, it wasn't like they weren't going on their own little adventure trying to get Sawyer past the gates.
"Got it, run away from that crazy kid. Parker, Sawyer, and I'll be going through the gate," He told them, tighting his hold on the bangle and ignoring the groan he got from Parker.
"Come on! I wanna be all ninja with them!" Parker complained but Nigel just shook his head.
"Sorry kid, but someone has to stay with the furball," He motioned his head to Sawyer, who growled playfully at him at being called a furball. Parker nodded knowingly and grabbed onto Sawyer's neck fur, giggling as Sawyer licked him.

Parker Devlish

Already gotten over the fact that he wasn't get to go with Coban, Parker was now figuring on using up his energy to annoy Nigel and Sawyer. He climbed on top of the wolf's back and giggled immediatly as Sawyer began to walk around Nigel. Everytime he got to a certain spot Parker would poke Nigel on his side, earning himself a scowl after only a couple pokes. Sawyer must have noticed that for he soon stopped and got Parker a couple feet away from Nigel. Parker didn't seem to mind and instead leaped off of him and ran over to Quinci.
"How come you're not coming with us?" He asked him, grabbing onto his arm and giving it a hug. Quinci chuckled and wiggled his arm out of the hug before answering.
"'Cause I'd rather scale a few walls then listen to you and Nigel go at it," He teased. Parker pouted at that but giggled when Quinci slung his arm over his shoulder.

Quinci Everheart

"Nah, but I'm sparing Thomas his life if you guys happen to run into him," Quinci explained, removing his arm from Parker's shoulder and ruffling up his hair. Parker was still pouting, most likely from the reminder that Thomas was out there, so Quinci quickly kissed him on the forehead before running to join Jeda, Coban, and Nick. "Make sure no one tries to shoot Sawyer," he called out, laughing as Sawyer growled and Nigel gave him the thumbs up sign.

Taylor Miles

Well this was just great. Taylor kept looking at Nick's group...then Nigel's group. Nick's..then Nigel's. Which one to go with. He took a tentive step towards Nigel and his friends, then quickly changed his mind and went racing after Nick and everyone else. He could hear Nigel laughing at him from over there, and heard him call out,
"Are you scared of us?" Taylor snorted at that and rolled his eyes before calling back,
"No!"
"Then why not come over here?" Nigel asked.
"Because! Thomas might come, and these guys have weapons! All you have is your fancy tie, a kid with a lollipop, and a dog being held hostage!"
Nigel had to laugh at that.

[

Jack shouldered the backpack before noticing Parker's shuriken pouch.
"We're not totally defenseless, unless Parker can't use those. Jeda must have thought about it beforehand. She packed a couple of swords and a bow for archery. A pack of kunai too." He got out a couple of long swords and noticed one with a blood red blade.
"What in the hell is Tobie's weaponry here?! Oh well, better get going, before Coban's younger sibling decides to hide in their room." he handed the red sword to Parker and looked a little dubious about it.
"You'd better be careful with that or Tobie'll kill you. Trust me, Tobie's worse than Coban...Tobie has twice as much endurance than Coban." Jack said lowly before handing Nigel another sword and closing the backpack. He put it on his back before carrying the long bow and quiver in both hands.

ooc: I'm going to create Tobie after this post. Do you want me to start the other thread after Tobie's bio?

Nigel nodded as Jack spoke, knowing that Parker wasn't really paying attention any more. Parker was busy playing with the sword he had been given, trying his best to move it around even though it was nearly as big as him. Sawyer watched him intently, making sure he didn't hurt himself or the blade, while Nigel took the sword from Jack's hand and nodded again. Be careful, or someone named Tobie would kill them. Got it.

OOC: -nods- Yeah, go ahead and make it.
