one day this'll make you proud [open/group]

"Genius takes time.

[/color]" McCoy announced, glancing up from the recently gathered pile of fresh, bright green leaves and various branches that he was still trying to produce fire from. Instead of being greeted by the short haired fifteen year old with the quiet laugh, he saw... well, no one. His grey eyes, holding as much intensity as ever as his brow furrowed with concentration, swept the surroundings, catching beautiful detail of the section of the forest he was in in mere seconds. But no girl.

"Uhm... Lilith? Lil... ith... Malixi...?[/color]" came skeptical, quiet questions, not meant to be answered, but spoken aloud none the less. If she was close enough, he wouldn't need her to be responding to him to locate her. And if she'd gotten away from him for a reason, perhaps she wouldn't want to answer. He hadn't said much to her, so offending her wasn't likely, but, perhaps he'd managed it.

'Owww! ... no, please don't run away, froggy!' came the quiet voice. It was hard to hear by virtue of volume and apparent distance, but McCoy doubted there was any chance someone hadn't just said that. He was up in an instant, running in her direction. It probably would have struck him as odd that his mind picked up on details and reacted accordingly, like to the branch that just stuck out, or the hole from the animal burrowing deep into the dirt, or the... assembly of ants, which he also avoided. Fortunately this did not occur to him as he ran through the forest. His breathing occurred to him, though, as an indication of the distance and speed he was going.

"Lilith![/color]" This time it was a yell. This time she was supposed to hear. A quiet voice, apparently straining to be louder, chimed back with, 'I'm here, Nash.'. Indeed, she had wandered farther than he expected. And his running to get all the way to her would have been worth it, too It was worth it when he burst through the trees, expecting a bear or something, only to find there was no such thing. Just Lilith, lying on her stomach in the dirt, with a sluggish looking frog that'd hopped out of her reach. Not exactly the dire situation he expected...[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

Lilith Malixi was out, in the afternoon, enjoying the sun. Not that you could tell from McCoy's chosen spot. It was so dark, with so many trees overhead- it was like he was a boy looking for shade in the hot sun, not someone worried about freezing through the night. At least he was trying for a fire. Lilith had sat across from him, watching him struggle with the process of creating a fire. She wanted to jump in, to say Demi made her find dead trees and leaves when they were camping, but she wasn't entirely sure about the validity of that. After all, it was Demitrius, the boy who teased her constantly, not exactly a sage of wisdom.

So after a bit of time with the boy just staring at the odd assortment of debris, or - this was always interesting! - staring at his hands and the stick while he tried to spin it in a fast enough circle in the center of the foliage to spark, Lilith decided to leave. It wasn't so much anger as sheer boredom. She didn't have a destination in mind, she just wandered about. Until the frog. That's when she got herself lost.

Well... not exactly, McCoy and her were already lost, but now she was lost by herself with the frog. Which wasn't a terrible arrangement when the creature sat in her palm and stared up at her with that incredible bravery of his. He only got scared when Lilith tried putting him to sleep, to make him a sleeping prince frog. That's when the creature seemed to sense danger and bolt, in that sluggish way of his. He was fast at first, so Lilith dove into the dirt, knowing that if she hindered his progress he'd stand no chance of running.

"Owww! ... no, please don't run away, froggy!

[/color]" Lilith pleaded in her softest, not-intimidating-but-persuading tone. The impact of her body hitting the ground was not inherently painful, but the assortment of rocks lodged into the dirt did their damage to her knee and her left arm. She sat up, rubbing away the minor ache as the frog seemed to hobble farther, now feeling the effects of the poison too much to move very far. Lilith would be patient.

'Lilith!' Came a loud, but familiar voice. Oh. Right. Nash McCoy. Lilith smiled at his concern, deciding that being found was better than having him worry, even if it did mean watching him stare at something else. He wasn't the most talkative person...

"I'm here, Nash.[/color]" Lilith meant to speak loudly. She meant to yell. But something about the way the trees surrounded her, and about the way she seemed to know there was more to the forest than just a concerned boy, made her voice come out as a strained, barely above talking voice. Even that felt too loud to her ears, leaving her to sit in complete silence, even to try to suppress her breathing for moments at a time as she listened for any sign of being heard. Running was eventually easy to make out. Lilith stared in that direction, figuring hiding was just about as useful as grabbing the frog for protection. Fortunately McCoy appeared, looking out of breath as he looked around for any sign of danger.

"It's so much brighter over here,[/color]" Lilith offered sweetly. "Are you okay?[/color]" She reached out for her frog now, having to scoot closer to it before she could cradle the sedated creature in her lap.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

Ren trudged through the forest tiredly. It was bad enough that he got lost today, but it was pretty creepy overall. He was pretty much jumping at every sight and sound. Then, he felt something crawling in his back as he came to one conclusion. "Spider!!!" He screeched, soon enough he was crashing through the bushes and then into a small clearing.

He dove to the ground and started rubbing his back in the dirt to squash the creepy insect. Sitting up he shook himself off like a dog and looked around. Two people, one was Lilith! It was good to see another person at last, but the other one was not too familiar. Although he had a nag that he'd seen the boy before... Library maybe?

"Lilith! Do you know the way out if here? It's too creepy for me..." He begged as he looked at her hopefully. He hoped she would know the way out, or theboy if she didn't. He shook his hair free of any last bits of dirt that may be clinging to his head. He noticed the frog in her hands then.

Melody groaned as she marched on since she had been wandering lost all day. It was really tiring right now and she saw a warm looking clearing just in the distance. She needed warmth, so she started running at a full dash to the warmth. She broke into the clearing to see three people standing around, two boys and a girl. This was gonna be interesting, she could only guess these three were lost too. Gosh darnit...

At least a couple of cute boys were here night now. She quickly was at the black haired boy's side and up next to him. "Hey cutie~ What's your name?" She said grinning into his face cutely. She giggled a bit when she saw him blush profusely. He must be a shy guy, but that wouldn't be stopping her. She figured she would just try to further press on. "C'mon, don't be shy hun~" She said poking his nose.

It seemed that she was more into flirting than trying to get herself out of these dangerous woods. Well frankly she didnt even seem to remember she was lost as she tried to win the boy over. She blew a Tony puff of air into his face and giggled sweetly as he blinked at it.

"eek!" Lyra jumped when she felt a a falling leaf brush against her arm. "fairy?!" The imaginative girl exclaimed. Well, of course not! That was silly! Fairies didn't live in this part of the world!....or did they? Hopefully they were like Tinkerbell and not at all the mischievous and evil little things that's she's also read about. The girl shook her head a bit, her reasons for coming here were simple. She wanted to get away and spend a day out in nature. However, considering how jumpy she could be, she was questioning the brilliance in that decision.

Now....she was lost. Yes, lost. Horribly and forever, lost! Thoughts began to swirl in her head...what if there was an axe murderer out here? What if she never got out again? Would anyone miss her? She hadn't even written her will yet! Did she even have any valuables to put in a will...or anyone to give them to? She totally didn't have any kind of valuables! Where was she again?

Slowly Lyra pushed her way through some branches to find herself in a clearing. Here, there was two boys and two girls. One of the boys she recognized! It was Ren! Last time she had seen him, they had been falling on top of each other and getting attacked by wires. The blue-haired girl smiled and waved at him. Her attention however, was quickly drawn away by a small creature in the short haired girls hands.

"Ooo...it's a froggy..." She said softly. "Think it'll turn into the frog if we kiss it?" She asked with a tilt of her head. Deciding for herself that she might as well try, she bent over and kissed it on it's head.........okay. Princesses in books made it look so much easier because Lyra quickly wiped her lips off after. "...nothing?"

[ticklicous]

Ren scooted back as the girl crouched over him. "Ah... I'm, R-Ren..." He stated nervously, blushing when she called him cutie. He was at this point in an uncomfortable position as he was stuck under her. He looked away to avoid eye contact with her so he wouldn't feel too weird. Although it was pretty odd feeling anyways.

Cutie...? The idea of her words seemed to reply in his head over and over again. He did blush very hard when the girl blew a puff of air into his face. He blinked as it ruffled his bangs a little bit. He was kind of uncomfortable at this point and very nervous. Especially since the display was in front of others.

[ssowls2]

Everything had just been too nosy! Darn this school with all the students being loud and rushing around giggling with friends. Though it was kinda cute and funny at some points... but still! It totally killed creativity and Logan couldn't get squat done! This was all just getting simply ridiculous! Ridiculous!! Of course he would never say that aloud. It might upset someone. Sighing Logan shuffled away from his spot under a court yard tree. Then to his dorm... which you could hear others even with the door closed! So he grabbed a nap sack tossed his song book in it along with multiple pens, pencils, and erasers and last but not least an old harmonica.

Not wanting to damage his guitar he left it at the dorm figuring he could just beat on the ground and use the harmonica if he needed a beat to get going. At first he thought to go to the beach so he headed that way. Walking there he didn't think other would enjoy the weather... Seeing that thought come to life with many many people crowding the sand he sighed and started for the forest. No peaceful crashing of the waves, cool sea breeze. Darn it! Well looking to the bright side he was bound to find some peace and quiet in the woods right?

Wrong. Wandering through the forest he hadn't been creeped out really. Instead he found the beauty in the natural and untainted woods. Simply wonderful. Then some kid went running by. Like literally almost clipping his shoulder. "What in the world?" He said fallowing the kid at a slower pace. Because lets face it people are curious and he just wasn't meant to get anything done today. All these people... oh well time to make the best of it right?

Coming out behind the boy who had been running he looked at all the kids here. "I didn't know there was going to be a party...in the woods...?" He said raising an eyebrow. But with a girl kissing a frog while another held it, boy crashing through the woods, and Melody flirting with some guy didn't really seem to be a party but what else would you call it. Shrugging the oddity off he gave everyone one a giant smile, "Hey! I'm Logan by the way who are all you?" But he glanced at Melody giving her a wave since they already met. "Don't make the boy uncomfortable it's not nice." He said just for her tilting his head to the side a bit before turning his attention back to the others.

[Deleted]

Melody frowned at Logan as he seemed to think ruining her fun would be a good idea. "Lolo! C'mon, I'm just having a little fun with my Honey-bumpkins~" She smiled again as she leaned in closer to Ren. She could see the boy's blushing and giggled at how cute he looked. She felt him shift uncomfortably under her, so she placed her hands on his chest, pinning him right down to the forest floor.

"Why don't we go get a little bit of peace and quiet, what do ya think, Honey-bumpkins?" She asked cutely and as innocently as she could. Leaving a smudge of seductivity in her tone just for him to notice in the least. She didn't seem to notice or care that other people were most likely watching her display. She leaned in and whispered into the boy's ear. "I know you like this, don't deny it~" She said to Ren.

She giggled happily at her words as they seemed to affect Ren. She watched him lightly and pleadingly, hoping he would go off with her. She wanted to have some personal time with this cutey. She loosened her hold on him as she felt him wriggle under her a bit.

The situation evolved fast. Perhaps not as quickly as, say, if Zane and Seth were here together, but fast enough to leave McCoy scanning the faces for a prefect. Turned out, as far as his memory held, there were none unless some members of the group turned out to be new recruits. Unfortunately for McCoy, he couldn't figure out if this was a good thing, or if it just left him responsible for their safety. He had little interest in Melody and Ren, mostly because he figured it wasn't his problem and they weren't hurting each other. Granted, the way Melody had Ren pinned definitely didn't seem like something Ren wanted. The scene looked as though Ren were the shy boyfriend who wanted to avoid her advances in public.

The next person to really catch his attention was Logan, mostly because Logan stopped by him and McCoy found it hard to miss him now that McCoy wasn't running. At the mention of a party, McCoy's grey eyes shifted to Lilith in a, 'see what you did?' sort of way. She didn't seem to be paying attention, she seemed to be talking to a blue haired girl about kissing a frog. Suddenly, staring at a light bulb struck him as painfully normal. Finally, introductions. Feeling compelled to go first, McCoy smiled at Logan.

"I'm McCoy.

[/color]" McCoy introduced. "And... I wouldn't call this a party. We were looking for a waterfall, but we ended up lost.[/color]" Perhaps he could have said it was a party to avoid making Logan worry, but McCoy spoke too soon to consider this alternative. So he let the words remain without revocation as he tugged his school jacket's sleeve down toward his hand and let his eyes wander to the assembled students.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[ticklicous]

Ren stared uncomfortably at the girl pinning him to the ground. He shuddered a bit as she whispered into his ear about going off alone. He tried to drag himself away since he already had devoted himself to another girl anyways. He didn't want to do this kind of thing at this point with a different girl.

"Please, get off..." He murmured quietly to her. "I... I already am supposed to be going on a date soon enough..." He said to her to let her know he didn't plan on stabbing Sasha in the back. He remembered the sweet blind girl he had met in the library some time ago.

[lil]

"No, sorry, Ren... I have no idea. McCoy will figure something out, though.

[/color]" Lilith paused to gesture toward the prefect she arrived with. "And, we can find out how to get out of here together.[/color]" Lilith promised. Given the fact that he found it creepy, she considered how she could comfort him. Before an idea occurred to her, Lyra was there, asking if she thought the frog would do anything special if she kissed it.

"Maybe it's a girl frog and it'll only turn into a princess, so a boy has to kiss it.[/color]" Lilith quietly suggested, smiling. It was so refreshing to find someone willing to do something completely out of place. She rose from her sitting position, using one hand to steady herself while the other balanced the still frog in her palm. With the new people surrounding them, her attention wandered to the new faces she didn't recognize, specifically to Melody as she essentially attacked Ren. Then of course Lyra and Logan were new, too. But Ren seemed to be the only one presently worried, so the calmness was something to appreciate.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]
