Thread: Nebula Academy: Search for the Chosen Ones (Start Up)

"Cookout," Ellery scratched his chin carefully in thought before looking at them. "Sour pork would be good," he smiled at them.

"Sorry about the way I acted back there," Jared muttered to Alice, his eyes staring at the fireworks.

"Hmp," Alistair coughed and pointed at himself. "Of course."

"Sour pork, huh?" Camille said, writing it down. "Such a request is well within our power to grant. Anything else?"

"It's okay," Alice replied before looking back up at the fireworks display, "Just don't worry about it for now."

Rose giggled at Alistair.

Dirk nodded in a somewhat subdued fashion. What he left unsaid was the fact that he was the one who was performing the hit. As he was only thirteen at the time... he wasn't exactly good at that sort of job yet. Although he did complete the hit, it was a botch job and in the process he had taken three shots to the chest from said target. He had somehow managed to stumble outside and back to the dumpy motel he and Daphne had been staying at in their younger days where they had both assumed he was going to die.

Unlike Zephyr however, Dirk had no sense for romantic moments so he didn't even notice said moment, let alone it being ruined by the girls. Dirk did however place his hands on top of Zephyr's gently, a wordless gesture designed to tell her that he was okay.

"Thanks," Jared nodded his head.

"Well it's the truth," Alistair shrugged and smiled.

"You're welcome," Alice answered before focusing on the sight above.

"Men," Rose giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Now I love fireworks" Cooper commented mostly to himself as he stared at the firework show going on, he noticed Amber with three other teachers down further away from them, he wondered how the teacher was feeling from before, did she actually want a relationship or had it been his inner Incubus that gave her that look on her face, he would have to ask her eventually but decided to back off a little bit, now that his urges were dying down slowly because of Shinn, he wouldn't have to worry about sleeping with someone.

"Mac and cheese," Ellery beamed.

"Well women can be pretty overconfident too," Alistair laughed.

"Ah. Yeah, mom's interesting." Dante said with a chuckle.

"Damn, who did you pissed off?" She asked, as the scars looked like the bullets that hit him would have kill a normal human.

"Yeah," Elise nodded her head. "Sorry for taking your time."

"Also, have you seen my sister Zephyr?" Ellery asked curiously.

Dirk smiled at this. "I do believe that is a story for another time." He looked out over the academy. "Because I smell food and I know I heard fireworks."

"True, but you're just showing off now," Rose laughed.

"A man that doesn't take pride in what he does isn't a man at all, merely a lifeless cell hanging in the wind," Alistair nodded his head before smiling at Rose. "I really like fireworks you know, they can make even the gloomiest day shine again."

"That's quite true," Rose commented, "There's other things that can brighten peoples' day." she smiled sweetly.

"Any suggestions?" Alistair asked curiously. "Maybe I could use that too."
