IC: Clan House

[tomaszavenger]

"You don't know? We've all been sucked into this reality show, in the future, because people from the future enjoy watching people from the past interact because we're INTERESTING! And you've avoided the question again... who are you going to the dance with, if anybody? Because I'm not going with anybody. I don't really like dancing to be honest." Tom told her.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla's eyes narrowed and she got up.

"Tom...I am not stupid. Don't treat me like I'm stupid."

Frowning, she turned around. Kat would have slapped him. Why couldn't she just smack people?

"I don't dance..."

[tomaszavenger]

"How on earth am I treating you like you're stupid? I've not done such a thing... now you're making assumptions. I know you... you're really smart. I'd never contemplate that you could even be stupid." Tom said almost angrily, but he managed to control himself.

Tom rushed over to her before stating: "I'm sorry... but I'm a real idiot. And if I'm making you feel like shit, try to understand I feel like shit too... because I have no idea how to fix anything in terms of social relationships... and I'm not good with such stuff. Go slower for me, so I can catch up." Tom said, almost mocking himself with the last statement.

Tom just stared at Leyla briefly. He seemed really interested by her, and he looked extremely curious.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla sighed, shaking her head.

"Mmmhmmm....alright then Tom....don't worry about it. Eh, I must just be a little cranky still is all. I guess you didn't mean anything bye it afterall."

Shrugging, she pouted lightly before patting Tom on the head.

"Don't worry 'bout it."

[tomaszavenger]

Tom felt Leyla pat him on the head, and he wasn't very sure what to feel. His emotions were a complete mix, and his brain couldn't understand what was going on, too busy to look for cryptic messages to take anything at face value. One thing he was sure of was that he was reassured that Leyla didn't completely hate him for his behaviour.

"I can't help but worry, it's my nature..." Tom explained. "But it doesn't matter. What do you plan to do when you get out of here? Do you think you'll win?" Tom asked.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla shrugged, shaking her head.

"Nobody's going to win...what's to win when you're not even allowed to go home.....we all already lost..."

As for the competition itself, well, she was pretty sure she'd lose that in general too.

[tomaszavenger]

"Actually Leyla... you can apply for a time-travelling license and go back home. It said so on that internet page for the bureau of time travelling." Tom reassured her. "Once you're out of here, you can apply for a license to go back home, assuming the government allows you to, but they'd have no reason to not let you go, so you'll be back home in no time!" Tom said, trying to cheer her up.

Inside he felt rejected and lonely, despite his outward appearance. He wanted to stay here. He had a new life. He didn't want to return to his past. But it seemed everyone else did.

Tom sighed at the thought.

I guess it's only fair...

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla almost rolled her eyes, almost.

"So, you're the expert? Yeah, the government will let me go home SURE. Because they definately didn't take us in the first place amirite?"

She frowned, sighing in frustration. She missed her brother, heck, she even missed her parents. Everyone back home....

They must've been so worried....

She needed to get home, she really really did.

[tomaszavenger]

"Actually, from what I've gathered... the reality show executives brought us here, the government simply authorized the transaction from our time here." Tom said.

"You know, we should probably voice our concerns to the house bot when he gets back here. All of us are probably missing home right now. But we shouldn't worry. If we do get to return to our time, our family won't notice we're gone. They might notice a slight growth, but not that we're missing. You can cheer up..." Tom said, and then, quickly and suddenly, a single tear dropped out of his right eye. Tom turned his head and wiped it, before attempting to escape the room.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

She let him go. She should have said something but she let him go. She was too tired, too completely drained to be any use to another person. And if he wanted to leave, she would let him leave. Sighing, she put a hand to her head, mumbling incoherently.

"Why....."

[Yetisarge]

Zerb had finished playing his video games awhile ago and had over heard Tom's comment about the license. "However Tom I'm quite certain that since we are port of a television show, that seems to be getting great ratings from what I hear from the house bot, I doubt they will authorize such a thing. It may be the future.. but producers still only care about one thing here... and that's ratings. Not to upset you Leyla, but I'm afraid that its probably true."

Aaron had teleported himself back down to the house and headed off to his room hoping to be able to get a nap. The knowledge he had learned was starting to take its toll, not just mentally but physically he was tired as well.

[charli]

-Eric-

Not much was happening back in the house. Tom and Leyla were arguing, Zerb was listening in, and AJ was going off to be a hermit. Taking note of all but not acknowledging anything, Eric went to dig around in the freezer. ...What the hell? Blueberry pancake and breakfast sausage on a stick? Some things never changed. Taking a chance, Eric popped it in the microwave and poured himself a glass of OJ.

But then, as he was waiting for breakfast on a stake (It's not just food! It's a WEAPON!) he was struck with the dilemma of having nothing to do but think. And given his current state, his thoughts went straight to Sara. The way she had moved during the dance, and then how her eyes had shone afterwards...

NO. No, Eric couldn't be thinking about her like that. Christ, she was 17. He was 21. Can you say statutory rape? It's not my fault she keeps coming on to me... a small voice whined, and Eric pushed it aside. Sara could be a friend, nothing more.

...But when she turned 18, all excuses went out the window... "Hey, Leyla, when's Sara's birthday?" Eric called before he realized what he was doing. Sonuvabitch, what was that? He had foolishly tried to take a sip of his juice after posing the question and now choked slightly as the fact that he had asked that out loud registered.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla yawned, not really paying attention to anything in particular. Damn her head hurt.

"Hey, Leyla, .......~~`.`...?"

She scrunched her face up, completely missing the question.

"Huh?"

[echoes]

-Dan-


Dan walked out of his room in a daze, it seemed like he'd been on there for months (heh).
H Had managed to accomplish his objective though, and it would hopefully get them all back when the time came.
And for some strange reason he waned to play strip poker...
Where the hell was everybody?

[charli]

-Eric-

Opening the freezer to pretend to dig for food, Eric tried to freeze the blush from his cheeks. "Nevermind, Leyla. Not important."

Sighing, he stepped back and closed the door. Movement caught his eye, and looking over to the entrance to the living room, Eric saw Dan. "I was wondering where you'd gotten to, man," Eric said, approaching the boy. "You've just about missed the second competition." Good thing, too. It was just now registering with Eric that if Dan hadn't been AWOL, Sara may very well have chosen to dance with him instead of Eric...

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan's eyes widened a bit.
"I did? Holy Hell I was in there longer than i thought.. what was the challenge, er whatever?" he said as he looked around the room.

[TrickyLA]

Leyla

Leyla just wanted to go home....or take a nap. She was still really tired from before.......She shuddered, not wanting to think of any of that again anytime soon. Her headache was only getting worse, but she brushed it off. She could handle it, really.

"Nevermind, Leyla. Not important."

She blinked a few times and yawned again.

"If you say so...."

She probably wouldn't have been much help in the first place, if she couldn't even hear the question.

I wanna go home......

[charli]

-Eric-

What was with this kid? What had he been up to in his room that he had lost track of things so badly? "It's a dancing competition, partner dancing," Eric told him. "Evan and Nav-E have probably already danced by now, and I saw AJ up there, but I don't know if he's gonna nab a bot partner to compete with - this round is optional."

Eric couldn't help but laugh. "I think Sara and I have a pretty good shot at winning this one," he smirked. "I gotta say, our dance was hot."

[tomaszavenger]

Tom

No... it just doesn't work. You are a fucking freak... you always have been. Your sorriness and guilt doesn't count for anything you worthless piece of shit.

Tom, you are one stupid faggot. Go suck on your mom's penis.

Tom, you are the most stupid pieces of shit if you find difficulty in accepting people don't like their grammar corrected.

Do you know what an F25 is? Let me show you...

Lol... yellow badge doesn't mean anything... you have no authority. It's a pathetic excuse to bring order in the playground. Now, shut up and let me hit you.

Do you want to know why everyone hate's you? It's because of your fucking country with its builders and cleaners and 10% meat content sausages.

Poland is a second world country, but you're a forth world shit.

You're not in love... you're fucking obsessed. There's a difference, retard.

Mod wants to kick Tommygun93 for: "Harassment"... yeah you didn't do anything, but we all hate you for being such a newb.

Mod wants to kick Tommygun93 for: "Other"... no offense buddy, but we just don't like you.

Vote to kick Tomaszavenger: "You're good, but you're not Hanze, FUCK YOU!"

Look, you're down after one punch... the reason people don't pick on you is not that they don't like you, but you're a completely useless opponent.

Sticks and stones break your bones, but words keep you in pain longer.

FUCK I DON'T WANNA DIE!

Tom awoke shouting the last statement, before noticing his surrounding environment and lay down on his bed again, breathing in deeply. The nightmares were getting really bad. He began to feel a realisation that although the words were intended to be hurtful, they had been truthful in some manner or form. They were all ones he had heard before, from many different people. Each memory brought its own different pain.

[Yetisarge]

Aaron came back around and thought he had heard something about Sara's birthday.
'I'd tell him.. and what does it matter if he wants to have sex with her. They may be in the future, but there was no way she was gonna date him. Oh hell let him simmer until he finds out when her birthday was.'

"Nice to get a nap" Aaron groaned getting the sleep out of his eyes noticing that Zerb was probably off either killing Nazi zombies or just Nazi's in general.. or maybe Russian Ultranationalists.

-Dan-

Dan shuddered in fear. Dancing was his bane. He didn't bother glaring at Eric for being semi-suggestive, he was too tired.
"So, optional, huh? Guess I'm sitting this one out..." he said as he walked over to the couch and litterally crashed on it.

[charli]

-Eric-

No response. That was dull. Keeping the scowl from his face, Eric dropped onto the other couch and flipped on the TV. HBO was playing some war movie. Eh, good enough.

Then Sara appeared out of nowhere - God, she was a ninja when she was hyper - took one look at the paratrooper talking to the German POW on the screen, and squeeled. "Oh em gee, I love Band Of Brothers. Dick Winters is my hero."

Vaulting over the back of Dan's couch, she tried to land, but fell when she hit Dan. Grumbling, she sat up on the floor, rubbing her head until she realized what she had landed on. "Oh, my god, Dan, I'm so sorry!"

Heh, served him right. Eric didn't know why it served him right, what he had done to deserve 130 pounds of flying Sara landing on him when he was trying to sleep, but Eric couldn't quite feel sympathy for Dan. Especially not when Sara looked at him like that, her eyes full of nursing concern.

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan groaned in pain as Sara bounced off him. That was NOT what he needed right now.
He turned his head to face her. "I'm fine, just a bit sleepy..." he said with his eyes closed.
Just for the hell of it he flipped Eric off.

[charli]

~Sara~

Sara frowned. Dan and Eric were starting back up again, and she didn't want to see either of them kicked out for fighting. As she took a breath to say something though, she was distracted by the sound of a machine gun from the TV. Whimpering, she turned long enough to see the expression of stunned horror on the paratrooper's face as the German POWs - his new Oregonian friend included - were gunned down. Poor kid.

Sighing, Sara picked herself up off of the floor, wiped her pants off and sat on the opposite end of Eric's couch. "Are you sure?" she asked Dan, studying his face intently. "You look kindo of... off, I guess."

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan laughed a bit.
"I s it THAT obvious?" he asked in a sarcastic tone. "Neurohacking government computers is a VERY hard thing to do you know, and it takes it's toll on the body." he said, his face still in the cushions." It was gonna take hours for him to recover from this, maybe days.
He groaned and turned over. "I hope you guys appreciate what I did..."

[charli]

~Sara~

Her jaw dropped. "You hacked the government? Can you say felony, dude? And what did you do, anyway, that we're supposed to be grateful for?"

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan laughed for a good ten seconds before he turned to Sara. "Why, got blueprints for a time machine, of course." he said smiling. "We can go back home after this now.

[Yetisarge]

Aaron walked in hearing the sounds of WWII ear guns. "What the..." He said coming in and saw the television.

"Oh sweet Band of Brothers.. surprised this show still plays in the future. Awesome.. I like the Toccoa episode the best.. but oh well this will work I guess." he said sitting himself on one of the recliner chairs.

[echoes]

-Dan-

Dan sighed. "Screw it, I'm going now, I've got a world to conquer." he said as he got off the couch and pointed his arm forward. The arm transformed into a beam emitter. The beam fired, creating a man-sized portal. "I'm out." Was all he said as he walked into it. The moment he was through, the portal closed, and he was gone.
