<Erik> Not-so-Brief>>>
<Erik> Two days ago, Erik returned to Wundagore in a stealth jet, with Emma, 'Cahtzee', and Alex, and revealed the existence of an expansive restricted area beneath the castle, beyond the gym facilities the students were familiar with. Mystique and Logan were given access codes and a brief tour of most of the sub-basement rooms, once Erik was well enough to out-bullhead Wanda or anyone else who tried to insist he rest longer.
<Erik> The students haven't seen or been allowed into the sub-basement areas yet, and Pietro's the only one who's gotten a glimpse, when he helped Erik down the corridor. Word's gotten around that Erik nearly punctured a lung with a broken rib, but he's back on his feet and roaming the castle again, albeit a bit stiffly.
<Erik> Emma was given the room next to Wanda, and Erik asked Wanda to share her room with 'Cahtzee' rather than leave the strange girl by herself. Erik also announced that all students and faculty would be taking an 'educational trip' to Japan for a couple days.
<Erik> Mystique and Logan know that this trip is mostly for the purpose of speaking to another one of the prospective faculty, a young man named Shiro Yoshida. The others are probably mostly excited (or grumpy) about the prospect of staying in a Tokyo hotel for two days.

********SIM START********
<Erik> SCENE> AFTER A TENSE YET SPEEDY JET-FLIGHT TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOKYO, DURING WHICH WANDA AND MS DARKHOLME MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO IGNORE EACH OTHER, THEY STAND ON A BUSTLING CITY STREET, WELL AFTER DARK.
<Wanda> ::glances over to her father for a moment, as she walks alongside him:: Are you positive you're feeling better? ::her voice echoes with concern::
<Pietro> ::stands rigidly beside his father, arms crossed:: ((This is quite a large city... I do hope father has an idea where to begin looking..))
<Kurt> ::wrapped up in a layer of concealing clothing once more, sort of trailing along behind the others::
<Erik> ::stands still, glancing down the crowded sidewalks:: I am as well as can be expected, Wanda... do not worry.
<Emma> ::Walks quietly along the side walk with the others, her face unreadable to the people around her.::
<Logan> ::smoking a stogie, decidedly more comfortable than (most of) the others::
<Mystique> ::disguised as a white American business woman with dark hair pulled into a bun and wearing a pair of designer eye glasses::
<Erik> ACTION> THEY ARE ATTRACTING SOME ATTENTION... BEING TALL FOREIGNERS... ALTHOUGH FORTUNATELY IT IS DARK ENOUGH BETWEEN STREETLIGHTS AND NEON SIGNS TO MASK SOME OF THEIR MORE UNUSUAL COLORATIONS.
<Catseye> what that? what that? ::points to everything::
<Erik> ::grimaces slightly as he attempts to get close enough to Raven to be heard over the crowd and traffic noise::
<Wanda> How can I not be? After your disappearance. ::frowns a bit, then looking ahead:: ((I wonder about his intentions.. But I cannot believe how huge this place is. There's just so much.))
<Pietro> ::sideways look to Erik:: Father, where do we begin looking? ::watches the hustling and bustling of the street::
<Remy> ::smokes a cigarette, standing at the back of the group, not paying the people much attention::
<Erik> ::looks back to Pietro and Wanda:: You will be going with Ms Darkholme, for the time being... I must attend a meeting.
<Mystique> ::arms crossed glances to Erik approaching her:: ((Now that we are all wandering the streets of Tokyo...now what?))
<Catseye> ::smells fish:: food here ::wanders away from the others to look in a window::
<Erik> ACTION> SEVERAL JAPANESE GIRLS IN SCHOOL UNIFORMS PAUSE BY CATSEYE, GRINNING AND POINTING AT HER HAIR AND CHATTERING AMONGST THEMSELVES
<Remy> Alluv us?
<Erik> ::frustrated look at the level of noise he must speak over, leans closer to Raven:: I must go and meet with Mr Yoshida… You have the address and name of the hotel, correct? The reservation was made in the school's name.
<Emma> ::brushes her hair back as she looks around.::
<Wanda> ::glances to Pietro for a moment, in one of those "You know I dislike her" looks to him, then pulls her jacket closer to herself as she moves beside him::
<Pietro> ((With Ms. Darkholme?? Why are we always being left behind!)) ::shifts uneasily and sighs::
<Erik> Schoolgirl> Aaa... kirei desu ne?! ::laughs:: [[But she's so tall, look at all them! I wonder where they're going... I wanna know who did her hair!]]
<Mystique> I do...but why do I not go with you? Logan can look after the children...you don't look all that well yourself.
<Catseye> ::turns around and looks at the girls, scratching her head:: hillo
<Emma> ((The rest of the student body seems rather quiet.))
<Kurt`> ((So many people..! Next time they announce a field trip, I should find a place to hide..)) ::huddles up in his clothing, trying to avoid bumping into anyone::
<Wanda> ::silent, she broods through her thoughts of this situation, but on the outside, remains smiling and pleasant:: ((Those children are speaking nonsense..))
<Remy> ::flicks his ashes on the floor::
<Erik> ::sidesteps a passing cluster of businessmen, frowning slightly:: Raven, Logan is not here for that purpose... you are the vice headmistress and it is your job to keep an eye on them when I cannot.
<Emma> ::Glances over her shoulder and sighs before walking towards Catseye, moving through the crowd.:: ((That girl is going to get herself lost.))
<Logan> ::blows a cloud of smoke out towards the street::
<Pietro> ((Such a language of jibberish...)) ::arching a brow at the schoolgirls:: ((What in heavens are they out this late anyway?)) ;:looks around impatiently::
<Remy> ::smirks:: C'mon, Erik. I t'ink we ol' enuff t' watch ourself
<Mystique> As you wish...but later, I desire a word with you...there are matters that I believe need to discuss and straighten out.
<Erik> Schoolgirl2> ::grins and waves at Catseye:: [[Ooh, I think she said 'hi!']]
<Wanda> ::fans herself to avoid the smoke, or so she believes, and turns to Pietro as they continue walking:: It seems so very different from home.
<Catseye> what you say? ::blinks::
<Mystique> ::steps up to the curb and raises a hand in hopes of signalling a cab::
<Erik> ::nods slightly, to Raven:: I will meet you all back at the hotel.
<Remy> ::looks at Wanda fan away the smoke;: Sorry 'bout dat. ::drops the cig on the floor and crushes it under his heel::
<Emma> Cahtzee, we need to go. ::Walks to the girls.:: We'll get some dinner at the hotel. Hurry or we'll get lost.
<Catseye> kay ::goes over to Emma::
<Wanda> ::glances over her shoulder and maintains her smile a bit:: I apologize.. I'm just not used to the smell, I suppose.
<Erik> Schoolgirls> ::wave excitedly at Catseye:: Bai-bai! ::laugh amongst themselves, and head down the street::
<Mystique> Logan, the children will not fit into one cab, so half will have to accompany you... ::takes out a piece of scrap paper from her coat pocket and hands it to him::
<Pietro> ::scratches his head and looks to Raven:: Where is this hotel? It will be cheaper if I meet you there...
<Catseye> byby ::waves back::
<Remy> S'alright. Should be cuttin' back anyway. ::shrugs::
<Emma> ::Sighs as she moves to the others.:: ((Hmuph, they move too fast.))
<Emma> ((Caring and attentive, as if.))
<Erik> ACTION> ERIK DISAPPEARS DOWN THE STREET, PRESUMABLY OFF TO MEET YOSHIDA-SAN SOMEWHERE.
<Catseye> ::follows Emma:: cahtzee eat now
<Pietro> ::arches a brow looking at Mystique:: Ms. Darkholme?
<Wanda> ::continues walking, and studying the area around her somewhat caught offguard as she takes it all in:: ((Some of these buildings are huge. And strange shaped..))
<Mystique> ::turns to regard Pietro whil still signalling for a cab:: Yes?
<Emma> At the hotel. ::Takes Catseye's hand and drags her along, nearly bumbing into Remy.::
<Erik> ACTION> A CAB PULLS UP TO THE CURB
<Logan> ::flicks the nubbin of his cigar out into the street:: ((I didn't sign on to babysit these kids.))
<Kurt> ::side-glances at some of the passerby, stopping with the others::
<Mystique> Logan, if you will take this one...Remy, Emma, Wanda...this is your cab
<Pietro> Which hotel are we staying at? I could simply meet the rest of you there instead of squeezing into a cab... ::noticing the cab pull up:: ((The whole lot of us will never fit in here..))
<Erik> ACTION> ANOTHER CAB PULLS UP AS WELL, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS
<Mystique> No Pietro...we have plenty of money to spare on a cab ride, and I do not want to split the group up.
<Logan> ::opens the front door of the cab and gets in, slamming the door behind him::
<Mystique> You will have plenty of free time once we arrive at the hotel...
<Mystique> Ah... ::walks over to the second cab:: Everyone else...you are with me.
<Erik> Driver> [[Where ya headed?]] ::hesitates when he sees Logan isn't Japanese:: Ah... um...
<Pietro> I see... Alright then... ::looks to mystique and moves over to walk into the second cab::
<Emma> ::Waits for everyone to get into a cab before she goes in hers.::
<Logan> ::looks at the driver and gives him the address in japanese::
<Catseye> where cahtzee go
<Remy> Ladie's firs'.
<Mystique> ::waves to gain Catseye's attention and motions for her to join her over at the second cab::
<Wanda> ::slips into one of the cabs, and adjusts her dress::
<Kurt> ::climbs in the second cab after Pietro::
<Erik> Driver> ::faintly surprised look at Logan:: [[You raised here or somethin'?]] ::grins and waves at the girls as they climb in::
<Emma> ::Settles down into the cabs and adjusts her skirt and blouse.::
<Logan> [[Eyes on the road, bub. And drive fast.]]
<Remy> ::takes a seat in the cab after Emma.. closes the door as everyone else gets in::
<Catseye> ::walks over to Mysti:: where
<Mystique> Here Katzee... ::holds the door open for her::
<Erik> ACTION> FIRST CAB LEAVES, WITH EMMA, WANDA, REMY, AND LOGAN. SECOND CAB DRIVER HAS SAME COMMUNICATION PROBLEM.
<Wanda> ::glances to Logan curiously:: You understand them?
<Logan> Yeah.
<Emma> You sound as if we're on an alien planet.
<Catseye> ::sniffs the inside of the car:: kay ::gets into the car::
<Pietro> ::glances to Kurt, and then to catseye, awaiting Mystique to tell the driver where to go::
<Mystique> ::shuts the door behind Catseye with a sigh and moves to get into the passenger front::
<Erik> Driver2> ::glancing in the rear-view mirror, raises a brow at what looks almost like a tail... naw, couldn't be... and looks over to Mystique::
<Kurt> ::leans back in his seat, trying to get comfortable::
<Mystique> ::relates to the driver the address of the hotel slowly in the limited Japanese she knows and then flashes him a wad of cash::
<Erik> Driver1> ::side-glance at Logan, obviously curious:: [[Hyatt Towers, huh? Nice place. Where you guys from?]]
<Erik> ACTION> THE SECOND CAB PULLS AWAY, AND THE DRIVER GRINS AND GIVES MYSTIQUE A THUMBS-UP.
<Wanda> ::shrugs her shoulders:: You could say my childhood was rather..sheltered. Before my father brought us "home." ::she looks to Emma for a moment::
<Logan> [[Not from around here.]] ::glances in the rear view at the trio occasionally::
<Pietro> ::rolls his eyes:: ((I wonder where we will be staying....))
<Catseye> where cahtzee go? ::looks out the window::
<Remy> Y' come here a lot? ::to logan::
<Emma> Sheltered, I see. First part of my life was. Then things changed.
<Erik> Driver1> [[Gathered that, man... American? You speak well for one...]]
<Mystique> ::stares absently out of the window sitting poised in the passanger's seat:: ((Erik...you better know what you are doing.))
<Kurt> ::glancing to Catseye:: We're going to the hotel, Katze..
<Catseye> ho-tel?
<Logan> [[Canada, the kids're Americans.]]
<Remy> ::drums on his legs, looks to Wanda::
<Wanda> How so? ::appears rather interested::
<Kurt> ::blinking:: Erm, it's a place to stay..
<Catseye> box? ::blinks::
<Erik> ACTION> THE FIRST CAB ARRIVES AT THE HYATT TOWERS... IT'S A SKYRISE HOTEL, BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE. DOWN THE STREET A BIT FURTHER, THEY CAN SEE THE LIGHTS OF THE SHOPPING DISTRICT.
<Emma> My father is a CEO of Frost Mercantile Corporation. I had the best of everything in my childhood. Then I gained my powers. ::Glances out the window.::
<Pietro> ::arches a brow at Catseye:: ((Such a strange girl...)) ::turns to look out his window::
<Erik> ACTION> THE SECOND CAB ARRIVES MERE SECONDS LATER, AS THE DRIVER WAS SPEEDING MOST OF THE WAY.
<Kurt> ::shaking his head:: ...Not a box. It's very many rooms. ((She doesn't know what a hotel is?))
<Remy> ..::gapes:: ..Frost Corp? dayumn.
<Logan> ::busts out with the happy yen and pays the driver:: [[Thanks.]]
<Mystique> ::climbs out of the cab and leans in through the window to hand the man the fare plus a reasonable tip::
<Catseye> houz? big.. ::looks outside at the buildings::
<Pietro> ::waits for Catseye to open the door as the cab comes to a stop, since he wouldn't want to get killed trying to climb out his door by another car::
<Remy> ::opens the door and gets out, waits, holding the door for them to get out::
<Emma> ::Looks surpised at Remy.:: Well, it doesn't matter now. ((But there's be another Frost Coperation.)) ::Steps out of the cab.::
<Wanda> I see. You're a mind reader, correct? ::slips outside as well::
<Logan> ::opens the door and steps out::
<Catseye> ::just stares out of the window::
<Remy> ::closes the door behind them::
<Erik> ACTION> FIRST CAB LEAVES... THOSE ALREADY ON THE STREET CAN SMELL STREET VENDOR FOOD AND HEAR THE NOISE OF ARCADES AND PACHINKO PARLORS FROM FURTHER DOWN THE STREET A LITTLE BIT
<Kurt> ::....reaches across Catseye to open the door on her side:: Entschuldigung.
<Pietro> ::sighs and looks to Catseye:: Could you open the door pl-... Thank you Kurt..
<Catseye> ::pushes the door open and gets out:: cahtzee eat now? ::walks towards the smells::
<Kurt> ::climbs out after her, stepping away from the cab and straightening his clothing briefly::
<Mystique> Kurt...could you be a dear and keep Kahtzee from wandering off... ::walks towards the hotel entrance::
<Emma> Yes, I am. But I don't know how to use it that well..
<Erik> ACTION> HERE, AS WELL, THEIR APPEARANCES DRAW ATTENTION. A FEW BELLHOPS HURRY OVER, TO SEE IF THEY HAVE LUGGAGE TO HELP WITH
<Remy> ::looks to Wanda:: what d' you do?
<Kurt> Uhm, ja Raven.. Katze! Over here! ::starts after her::
<Mystique> ::carrying a small leather over night bag, nods to Logan:: I see they made it in one piece.
<Catseye> bluefur eat too? ::looks back at him::
<Wanda> I..::pauses a moment, as she glances over to Logan, then back to the others:: manipulate probability fields. Make the impossible happen, basically. ::smirks a little, and pushes her hair bangs back::
<Kurt> No, Katze, we need to go to the hotel. This way. ::motioning to the building in front of them, a bit impatiently::
<Pietro> ::climbs out of the backseat of the cab after Kurt and then tugs on his top-gun style bomber jacket adjusting it, before scanning the area and then moving to the trunk to help with the luggage::
<Catseye> ::points to the hotel and follows Kurt::
<Mystique> This way everyone! ::strides into the hotel lobby approaching the reception desk::
<Emma> ::Carries only a small bag and hands it to one of the bellhops.::
<Erik> Receptionist> ::looks up:: [[Greetings and welcome to the Hyatt Towers.]] Welcome to the Hyatt Towers, may I help you?
<Mystique> English, please. ::smiles dryly to the receptionist:: I need 5 rooms.
<Kurt> ::leads Catseye into the hotel's lobby, making sure she's following:: ((The fraulein is a handful..))
<Logan> [[We're the Lensherr School, there should be a reservation.]]
<Remy> ::grabs his trusty backpack and puts it on, follows into the hotel::
<Pietro> ::starts piling the luggage out of the trunk and onto the sidewalk so the bellhops can take it, then slams the trunk closed and walks towards the hotel lobby, looking allllll the way up towards the top of the hotel, and then sticking his hands in his coat pockets before entering the lobby and walking towards the rest of the group:: ((This place is huge...))
<Erik> Receptionist> Do you have a--ahh ::cuts off as Logan speaks, and flips through a file::
<Wanda> ::picks up her things, and follows the others slowly:: ((They got awful quiet now.))
<Mystique> As he said, Lensherr School. ::glances about the lobby::
<Remy> ::eyes up people as he enters:: ((Hmm.. dat looks promisin'.... Wonder where de presidential suite is..))
<Catseye> ::walks over to a plaque on the wall:: shiney.. ::stares at the symbols on it::
<Erik> Receptionist> Lensherr... lensherr... Ah. ::smiles brightly:: Here it is... ::takes out a small bundle of keycards, handing Mystique all 5:: Do you need duplicate cards?
<Pietro> ::looks around the lobby:: ((Nice place..)) ::leans casually against the reception-counter, waiting for the receptionist to issue the keys::
<Remy> ::mills around::
<Wanda> ::glances over to Pietro curiously::
<Mystique> Yes...I need 2 cards for the first room and 3 cards for the second...the rest just one.
<Logan> ::as flustered a look as he can feasibly muster without just looking silly:: ((Puttin' me in charge of a buncha kids...))
<Catseye> ::walks over a bit to a mural on the wall::
<Erik> Receptionist> Very well... ::pauses for a moment, then hands her the rest:: The restaurant is open until 3 am.
<Remy> ::brushes past a man in a nice suit, janks his wallet very carefully as he does so:: Oh, sorry, cap.
<Mystique> Domi Origato... ::takes the items from the receptionist and then walks to the center of the lobby:: Gather round children...
<Erik> ACTION> A PASSING MAID DOUBLE-TAKES AT REMY, PEERING AT HIS EYES AND ALMOST MISSING A STEP
<Erik> Receptionist> ::carefully hides a smirk:: You're welcome. Please enjoy your stay.
<Wanda> ((Children...)) ::she shakes her head a bit, and slowly walks over to Mystique::
<Pietro> ((Last I heard, children were eighteen and under..)) ::mutters under his breath before walking towards Mystique::
<Emma> ((Childern... )) ::Sighs and stands near Mystque.::
<Remy> ((Ooh.. maid..)) ::eyes her.. goes to make his move::
<Kurt> Come on, Katze.. ::moves over to Mystique::
<Mystique> ::doles out two cards to Emma and Wanda:: The first will have a room together...Wanda, I am placing you in charge of Kahtzee.
<Catseye> mrow? ::wanders back over to Kurt::
<Mystique> Pietro, Remy, Kurt... ::hands them each a card:: You get the second room.
<Erik> Maid> ::startled jump when she realizes Remy sees her, quickly looks away and hurries for the employees-only door::
<Remy> Could y' tell me where de turlet is? ::gets a little close to her::
<Mystique> ::hands Logan his with out needed explanation:: Right now...go to your rooms and get situated...
<Wanda> ::takes one of the cards, and waves to Catseye:: I guess we'll be getting ready, then.
<Logan> ::takes the card and stalks towards remy:: Stop harrassing the help, Cajun.
<Pietro> ....((I sincerely hope this room is a triple..)) ::accepts the key, looking at it to find the room number and then walks towards the stairwell::]
<Mystique> Then meet back down here in half an hour to discuss tonight and curfew!
<Erik> Maid> ::pole-axed look:: [[I'm sorry sir, I don't understand you...]] ::points to the receptionist:: Igirisu... ah... eng-rishu?
<Kurt> ::looks at his card for a moment before pocketing it, then moves over to the elevators::

<Wanda> Come along, ladies. ::starts towrds their room::
<Catseye> cahtzee eat now? smell fish, hungry ::nods::
<Remy> Oh sorry 'bout dat. ::turns back to Logan::
<Mystique> ::sighs in relief as the kids soon depart:: ((And this is why I abandoned eveyr child I ever had...))
<Emma> Not yet Katzy.
<Erik> Maid> ::flustered look, doesn't notice when Remy snags her keyring::
<Remy> Who'mi stayin' wid?
<Logan> ::holds out his hand for remy to hand over the keys, glares at him::
<Remy> ::looks to Logan's hand:: ....wha?
<Pietro> ::sticks the keycard into his right pocket, opening the stairwell with his left hand, and then taking off up the stairs towards the <?> floor of the hotel::
<Mystique> ::looks over her shoulder to notice a martini bar in the hotel:: ((Hmmm...if only you were here Irene.))
<Wanda> ::gestures towards Catseye:: We'll eat soon. Let's go put your things away now, though. ::smiles a bit, and goes to fidget with the door, finally giving up:: Emma, a hand, please?
<Erik> ACTION> PIETRO HAS A 50 FLOOR CLIMB AHEAD OF HIM...
<Logan> ::glare darkens, hand is still extended::
<Remy> ((Dayumn.. messin' wid my work)) Fine.. ::sighs, pulls the keys out of his pocket and puts them in Logan's hand::
<Kurt> ::steps into the elevator, jabs at a few buttons, then waits as it goes up::
<Logan> ::takes the keys to the maid (if she's still around, and if not then to the receptionist) and hastily apologizes for remy's behavior::
<Pietro> ::stops somewhere along the 30th floor or so and leans heavily against the wall, gasping for breath:: ((Jesus christ.... I am going to need to work on my endurance...))
<Remy> ((..Dey prolly gon' be lookin' fer me now.. gotta fin' somewhere else..))
<Erik> ACTION> THOSE WHO REACH THE ROOMS FIND NICE SUITES ALL IN A ROW, PROBABLY BETTER THAN THEY WERE EXPECTING.
<Catseye> ::hums Take It Easy, one of many songs she heard echo in the alley every night::
<Emma> ::Sides the card into the door and tries to open the door::
<Remy> ::..stalks off::
<Mystique> ::walks to the elevator and proceeds upward towards her room:: ((Oh...I have to give them spending money...why is there so much book keeping with children?!)) ::digs through her bag counting the cashe she has on hand::
<Kurt> ::gets off the elevator, then walks over to the rooms, glancing at his card for the room number::
<Erik> ACTION> EMMA HAS NO TROUBLE OPENING THE DOOR.
<Wanda> Thanks. I must not have used it correctly. ::eyes her card for a moment, and slips inside:: Here's our room, Cahtzee.. ::gestures towards the beds::
<Pietro> ::takes a deep breath and moments later arrives at the correct floor, opening the stairwell door and walking down the hallway towards the appointed room::
<Emma> Not bad... very nice. ::Looks about the room.::
<Catseye> ::walks inside:: small box ::jumps onto one of the beds::
<Mystique> ::gets off the elevator and proceeds to her room, sliding in the card and quickly stepping inside:: Finally...
<Kurt> ::opens the door to the boy's room, looking around it before stepping in and closing the door behind him::
<Wanda> ::sets her things down on one of the unoccupied beds, and glances about:: It's very large.. I don't think I've seen a room quite like it before. ::chuckles::
<Remy> ((Should put my stuff down..)) ::gets into the elevator::
<Catseye> ::jumps up and down on the bed::
<Pietro> ::walks over towards the correct room, the door JUST closing before he gets there, forcing him to have to stick the card in to unlock the door and walk in::
<Kurt> ::wanders over to the first bed and sits on it, then takes off his coat::
<Remy> ::pushes the button to the 50th floor, looks to the other people in the elevator:: ((Hmm..))
<Mystique> ::exits her room wearing a strapless black evening skirt with beaded sequin design::
<Catseye> ::goes through her suitcase and picks out something to wear:: cahtzee like

<Remy> ::exits the elevator, and heads to his room::
<Mystique> ::arrives in the lobby waiting by the chairs:: ((30 minutes...and they have exactly 4 to get here...)) ::glances at her watch::
<Emma> ::After she helps prepare to go downstairs, she step off out of the elevator and walks over to Mystique.::
<Mystique> ::smooths a few stray wrinkles from her dress:: ((If I wasn't so tired...I could have been more imaginative with tonight's clothing...))
<Pietro> ::finishes getting changed, and then walks out the door of his room and heads over towards the elevator, hitting the call button::
<Erik> ACTION> FOR THE RECORD... ALTHOUGH IT'S LATE NIGHT HERE, IT'S NOT FOR YOU GUYS, AND YOU'RE ALL WIDE AWAKE AND FULL OF ENERGY AFTER BEING COOPED UP ON THE JET FOR THE TRANS-ASIA FLIGHT
<Wanda> ::follows Emma down, wearing a white, somewhat short gown, then turns to Emma as they arrive:: Are you sure this'll fit? It seems awful..tight.
<Catseye> ::follows them, wearing a long blue dress to hide her tail:: eat now?
<Kurt> ::changes the coat he was wearing earlier for one with a larger hood, then goes out of his room and into one of the elevators::
<Emma> It looks fine on you, Wanda. Now I feel a bit under dressed. ::Swears a pants suit, black with white stripes.::
<Logan> ::is at the bar, knocking back SAKE::
<Remy> ::enters his room, ..picks the lock out of sheer boredom.. enters::
<Wanda> (( I can't believe she talked me into this..)) If you say so. ::blushes a little, and then glances over towards Mystique:: We're here.
<Mystique> Not everyone apparently... ::eyes the group before her::
<Kurt> ::after the elevator reaches the ground floor, he steps out and walks over to whoever else is there::

<Logan> ::joins the group after finishing off the last of his sixth (or so) bottle::
<Mystique> *ahem* Alright... ::looks at the gather group of kiddies before her::
<Kurt> ::looks over the girls for a moment, then gives a slight shake of his head::
<Wanda> ::chuckles softly:: You look fine, Cahtzee. ::crosses her arms:: It's typical, Miss Darkholme, although I expect my brother to be here very soon.
<Remy> ::gets in the elevator and heads back downstairs::
<Mystique> ::procudes a roll of cash from her purse:: You each get fifty dollars to spend as you see fit...including your own dinner for tonight.
<Pietro> ::glances over the 3 girls:: ((Were we supposed to dress up for a formal or something?)) ::Scratches his head and then takes the $50 and heads towards the hotel restaurant::
<Mystique> Curfew is at 4 AM local time.
<Remy> ::exits the elevator and walks to the group:: Group meetin' eh?
<Catseye> ::looks at the money, sniffing it:: not food
<Mystique> If any of you so much as causes the slightest problem...Logan and myself will make you live to regret it, am I making myself perfectly clear?
<Erik> ACTION> EVERYONE REMEMBERS THAT DOWN THE STREET, THERE WERE RESTAURANTS A-PLENTY, VENDORS, AND LOTS OF NOISE AND COLOR AND LIGHT
<Remy> ..Sorry, but I missed de firs' part?
<Mystique> ::shoots an evil look at Remy::
<Remy> Dayumn.. if looks could kill..
<Remy> ::smiles at her::
<Mystique> ::looks around at the group awaiting the proper response before handing out the cash::
<Kurt> ::..just nods::
<Remy> Yes, mayum.
<Emma> Yes Mrs. Darkhome.
<Pietro> ::jabs Wanda in the ribs:: Would you like to eat dinner with me?
<Mystique> It is Ms...not Mrs...I am not married. ::hands out the money to each student:: ((I hope $50 lasts for four hours...))
<Wanda> That sounds good. ::she nods her head, and takes the money from Mystique:: ((4 am..Hrm.)) Where would you like to go, Pietro?
<Kurt> ::takes the money he was given, then goes over to the doors of the lobby and outside::
<Pietro> ::shrugs:: Not sure... We could walk around for a bit and try and find a place..
<Catseye> ::hops up and down:: cahtzee eat now
<Mystique> ::hands Catseye's money to Wanda::
<Wanda> Cahtzee..We'll go eat out. Pietro'll be with us. ::smiles, and jabs Pietro lightly:: I've never eaten in a place like this before..
<Kurt> ::stand outside the hotel for a few moments before heading down the sidewalk to his right::
<Pietro> ::looks to Wanda, and then Catseye:: Would you rather eat here in the hotel restaurant?
<Emma> ::Sighs, walking outside.:: ((There goes any chance to make one of those two loosen up for the evening.))
<Erik> ACTION> KURT QUICKLY FINDS HIMSELF IN A SEA OF PEOPLE MOSTLY SHORTER THAN HE IS. BARS, PACHINKO, ARCADES, SHOPPING, AND ASSORTED OTHER AMUSEMENTS ABOUND TO EITHER SIDE
<Catseye> ::follows around after Wanda::
<Wanda> ::shrugs her shoulders:: Perhaps the others would care to accompany us too? I don't know.
<Mystique> ::wanders into the hotel's Americanized martini bar:: ((Solitude at last...))
<Pietro> ::looks around the apparantly empty lobby:: Apparantly not... Looks like everyone already took off...
<Kurt> ::walks on for a few minutes before making his way towards one of the stores::
<Wanda> ::chuckles:: Okay, Cahtzee, let's find some food. ::pushes Pietro ahead playfully::
<Remy> ::walks down the street, looking at businesses as he passes.. searches for anything promising::
<Pietro> ::smirks and uses the push to start moving out the entrance of the hotel and out into the Tokyo streets:: ((Think I saw some sort of entertainment district back there...)) ::notices Emma standing infront of the hotel:: Emma, we are going for dinner, would you care to join us? ::approaching her to an audible distance::
<Emma> ::Walks down the street as well.::
<Erik> ACTION> REYNARD NELSON EXITS AN ARCADE, HAVING MOSTLY DEPLETED HIS POCKET CHANGE FOR THE WEEK. THE FIRST THING HE NOTICES IS A COUPLE OF OBVIOUS FOREIGNERS MIXED INTO THE CROWD...
<Catseye> ::follows after Wanda:: kay
<Emma> ::stops, hearing her voice and turns around.:: It sounds nice.
<Kurt> ::enters a store and looks around, reaching up to pull his hood down a bit more::
<Mystique> ::takes a seat at the bar placing her purse on the counter and taking a deep sigh of relief:: ((I wonder if there are no more children in a future ruled by Appocalypse...))
<Pietro> ::nods:: Alright... did you happen to see where any of the others went? ::walks alongside the other 3 down the street towards the brightlights::
<Logan> ::tracks the students at a distance so that they aren't aware of him::
<Reynard> ::looks at the strangers:: ((Ooo, tourists...)) ::heads over towards them because he has nothing better to do, making sure his ballcap is on tight::
<Emma> ::Walks down the street.:: I thought I saw a few of them move this way.
<Remy> ((Alright.. time t' ditch Big Brudda)) ::ducks into a store, club, arcade, whatever::
<Mystique> ::places a large bill on the table and signals the bar keep:: ((Hmmm, where did Logan stalk off to?))
<Erik> ACTION> REY CATCHES AN ODD SCENT.. HEADING OFF INTO A STORE, A STRANGE SHARP SMELL IS FAINTLY NOTICABLE. IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, HOWEVER, HE SEES FOUR LOST-LOOKING TOURISTS, ONE OF WHOM HAS PURE WHITE HAIR. DECISIONS, DECISIONS.
<Pietro> ::nods:: Perhaps we will catch up with some of them later on.. ::starts scanning the street for any sort of nice looking restaurants::
<Reynard> ::follows them by keeping track of the girl with purple hair, since she's the easiest to spot, he stays back a bit for now, wondering what to do::
<Kurt> ::browses the store's selection of candy and/or sweets:: ((Ach, some of these must have english on them..))
<Remy> ::shields his face as he waits for Logan to pass::
<Erik> ACTION> BACK AT THE HOTEL, MYSTIQUE CATCHES SIGHT OF ERIK ENTERING THE FRONT DOORS OF THE LOBBY. KURT FINDS AMAZINGLY LITTLE ENGLISH ANYWHERE IN THE CANDY SHOP.
<Wanda> There's no telling. ::looks about as they walk::
<Pietro> ::spots what seems to look like a nice and cozy restaurant, and looks to the girls:: Want to stop by in there? It looks pretty nice...
<Reynard> ::stops catching the odd smell and decided to follow it instead, the lost tourists can do without him::
<Mystique> ::snatches her purse from the bar and jogs out of the bar:: Erik...
<Erik> ACTION> CATSEYE SEES LIVE CREATURES SWIMMING IN A TANK OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT
<Kurt> ::picks out about a handful of things he thinks *might* be good, then goes over to a counter:: Uhm, excuse me...? Could you tell me what these are....?
<Emma> Hmm.. ::Looks at the resturant indicated.:: Why not.
<Logan> ::continues trailing the bulk of the students letting remy go off to indulge his kleptomania::
<Catseye> ::runs over the window and plasters her face to it:: food!
<Pietro> ::smiles:: Excellent then... ::moves to open the door for the ladies:: After you ::offers a gracious and warm smile to each of them::
<Erik> ACTION> REY ENTERS THE CANDY STORE... THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE IN THE STORE, ONE OF WHOM IS TALL AND WEARING A HOOD
<Wanda> That's fine. ::gives Catseye a skeptical look for a moment at her reaction:: Come on inside, Cahtzee.
<Emma> ::Laughs softly and gently pulls Catseye into the restraunt.::
<Erik> ::looks up at Raven's approach, expression a bit dark:: No trouble, I assume?
<Reynard> ::walks into the candy shop following Kurt's unique scent and catches the end of his question. Rey walks up behind him and asks in perfect english:: Need some help?
<Mystique> Nothing a curfew and fifty dollars couldn't handle...what is wrong? Did the meeting not go well? ::looks at his warily::
<Erik> Mr Yoshida was quite... emphatic. ::rubs his forehead with one hand:: He is uninterested in my offer. I do not expect he will be joining us.
<Remy> ::rubs his hands together as he watches Logan walk by..:: ((Time t' go t' work..))
<Catseye> ::gets pulled inside:: wah!
<Wanda> ::follows Pietro inside, and studies the restaurant:: Very nice.
<Pietro> ::walks inside after Catseye gets pulled in, then looks around the restaurant:: ((Not a bad place at all..))
<Kurt> ::gives a start, turning around quickly:: I, uhm.... ....yes?
<Mystique> That is most unfortunate. Please...will you join me for a drink? There are a few things I would like to discuss with you. ::gestures to the bar she just left::
<Remy> ::exits whatever store he was in.. and starts off to find someplace or someone worthwhile to "borrow" from::
<Erik> ::brushes his hands off slightly, hesitating for a moment:: Where are the others?
<Reynard> ::smiles at him:: Can't read the wrappers I'm guessing...right?
<Catseye> ::looks around the restaurant:: cahtzee like here smell good ::nods::
<Mystique> Out enjoying themsevles in the nearby vicinities... ::lightly touches Erik's arm tugging him in the right direction::
<Wanda> ((I'm still not so sure about this dress..)) ::she glances down for a moment, and adjusts it once more::
<Erik> ... ::looks toward the door:: Are you sure that is wise..? ::frowns slightly as he walks slowly toward the bar::
<Pietro> ::looks around for a host or hostess to direct them to a table::
<Kurt> Ja.. ..I mean, yes, that's right.. ::blinks at Rey, then looks him over briefly::
<Erik> ACTION> KURT NOTES REY'S BRIGHT RED HAIR, WHICH STANDS OUT IN ALL THE BLACK HAIR HE'S SEEN SO FAR... REY, HOWEVER, CAN'T QUITE TELL WHY KURT'S HOODED FACE LOOKS SO STRANGE. IT'S VERY DARK, DARKER THAN IT SHOULD BE IN THE FAIRLY WELL-LIT SHOP.
<Mystique> Wise? Maybe not...but to keep them locked in a hotel room after almost a full day of flying would be...impratical. Short of holding them at gun point, it was the easiest solution.
<Erik> ACTION> AT THE RESTAURANT, A FEW PEOPLE PUSH PAST PIETRO AND THE GIRLS WHEN THEY MAKE NO MOVE TO SIT. IT SEEMS TO BE A 'SEAT YOURSELF' ATMOSPHERE.
<Reynard> ::from top to bottom: Rey's wearing a ball cap with some symbol on the front, a longsleeve shirt plain blue shirt, and some very baggy pants being held up by a belt, the overly large pants go past his shoes, the hems loking a bit worn::
<Catseye> ::ignores the other three and sits down at one of the tables::
<Pietro> ::scratches his head:: ((Strange...)) I guess we can find a place to sit ourselves... ::wanders over towards a table big enough to seat the 4 of them::
<Emma> ::Sighs and walks to a table, tossing her blonde hair slightly, a look of distane on her features as she sits down.::
<Reynard> ::though his hair does stick out from under the cap:: Well, I come in here all the time, I can tell you the best stuff for a good sugar buzz... ::looks at some of the stuff Kurt's selected::
<Erik> ACTION> CATSEYE CAN SMELL THE MOST ENTICING THINGS... FISH EVERYWHERE.. DELICIOUSLY FRESH!
<Wanda> ::blinks, and watches the rather rude people push past them. She then follows after Catseye's initiative and takes a seat:: This is..different. ::looks to some of the other tables, particularly the food::
<Erik> ::unconvinced look at Raven:: Hm. ::motions to a seat, holding it out for her::
<Remy> ::stomach growls:: ((Gotta give dis up for a while.. time t' eat)) ::looks for the nearest restaurant::
<Kurt> Ah, well, whatever does not taste strange would be fine.. you.. live around here? ::he's wearing a jacket with a large hood, zipped up.. and slacks::
<Emma> Mmm.. And I heard the Japanese were polite. ::Takes a menu, then makes a sigh.:: Japanese, of course.
<Catseye> ::hops up and down at the table:: fish fish fish
<Pietro> ::peers around broadly:: I hope they at least have waiters here... ::takes a menu for himself and Wanda and hands one to her, then looking over it up and down::
<Remy> ::enters the restaurant, that Quickie and co happen to be at::
<Mystique> ::smiles thankfully to him and sits down adjusting her dress to make herself comfortable:: Most of them are practically adults themselves, Erik...legally speaking
<Reynard> ::nods:: All my life so far. Aren't you a bit hot in that? ::Rey picks out a few items from Kurt's candy that are sour flavored and such like that, mostly leaving asoorted chocolates and a bag of jaw breakers::
<Emma> So what is your opinion on 'Mrs'. Darklhome?
<Wanda> ::rubs her eyes for a moment after looking to the menu:: Um..I don't really understand any of this.
<Erik> Waitress> ::approaches P&co's table:: [[Welcome, how may I help you today?]]
<Catseye> ::holds up the menu and points to the little clip art fish::
<Kurt> ..Nein, I'm fine. Thank you.. it is a relief to find someone who speaks english.. ::moves over to a counter and pays for the candy::
<Emma> ::Taps her ear and shakes her head.::
<Remy> Oh, hey padnas. Min' if I sit down?
<Pietro> ::looks to Wanda, giving her a glance, then looks down to the menu, not understanding a word on the menu, or a word the waitress spoke:: Uhmm.. I would like this.. ::points to a random selection somewhere near the bottom of the menu, not having ANY idea what he just picked out::
<Wanda> ::looks up to Remy, smiles, and gestures to one of the empty seats:: Certainly. ::then follows Pietro's lead, and points at anoher title on the menu for herself::
<Reynard> ::nods:: Can be a bit hard sometimes. But it is easier than stumbling through the language with one of the books that poeple think will teach them japanese in an hour. Some of the pronunciations I've heard before.. ::rolls eyes::
<Pietro> ::looks to Remy, noticing his sudden arrival:: Oh, hello Remy, sure... Pull up a seat ::smiles::
<Remy> ::pulls up a chair at the table:: Ya'll order yet?
<Erik> Waitress> ::confused look:: [[I'm sorry?]] Amerika-jin desu ka? ::glances to Remy as he sits down... barely noticeable double-take::
<Emma> ::Sighs:: Gohan.
<Erik> ::sits down as well, exhaling slowly:: I expected somewhat of a better reaction from Mr Yoshida, to be sure...
<Kurt> ::with a slight shrug:: I can see how that would be annoying.. ::he moves to exit the store, holding the small bag of candy::
<Pietro> ::sighs:: ((Brilliant... Not a clue what she is saying...)) ::looks to the Waitress and smiles:: I am sorry, I do not speak Japanese...::frowns::
<Reynard> ::Rey also buys a small pack of gum while he's there, popping a piece into his mouth after it's paid for. He follows Kurt:: So, how long you going to be in town?
<Logan> ::enters the candy store, looking about as out of place as an elephant in a china shop, and now blocking kurt's exit::
<Catseye> ::keeps pointing to the picture of the fish::
<Wanda> ::glances to Emma curiously::
<Kurt> Only a few days.. ::blinks, stopping in his tracks:: ...Herr Logan?
<Erik> Waitress> [[Rice... plain rice..? ...hang on... I think Hayasaka-san speaks english...]] ::rolls her eyes and walks away from the table, disappearing into a back room::
<Remy> ::smirks at the others:: Man dis is funny, non?
<Mystique> How...bad...was his rejection? ::gazes down at the drink before her::
<Logan> You okay.. ::glances at rey:: ..Kurt?
<Pietro> ::chuckles and nods to Remy:: Its a great thing to come to a country in which the language you do not speak a word of...
<Emma> If I had only known...
<Erik> He refused, flat out. He was barely even civil, over tea.
<Reynard> ::looks at Logan::big smile:: Hello!
<Catseye> ::pouts:: lady not know fish? ::puts down the menu::
<Kurt> ::with a nod:: Ja, I am fine.. he helped me choose some things to buy. Is there something wrong?...
<Emma> ... ::Taps on the table with her chop stick.:: Next time, I use my powers.
<Wanda> ::shrugs her shoulders blankly:: DO you suppose they're going to throw us out?
<Erik> ACTION> A GUY ABOUT EMMA AND WANDA'S AGE COMES OUT OF THE BACK ROOM, WIPING HIS HANDS ON A TOWEL, AND SMILES TO THEM PLEASANTLY
<Remy> Dey can't do dat, we ain't done nuthin'.
<Logan> ::suspicious stare at rey, nostril flaring curiously:: Maybe, let's get back to the others.
<Mystique> ::stirs her glass using the olive:: Erik, I'm going to cut to the chase here. There has been something bothering me for the past couple of days ever since you decided to disapear and reappear with a cadre of new children.
<Pietro> ::smiles:: Ah, hello.... Do you speak english?
<Emma> Good evening sir.
<Erik> Waiter> Ah, yes... ::grins:: I think I help you then.. you prob'ly can't read menus, ne? What do you want?
<Kurt> .....Alright. Where are the others? ::glances to Rey:: Sorry, but.. I guess I have to be going.
<Emma> I'd like two orders of sushi, one for me, the other for the girl. ::Nods towards Catseye.::
<Pietro> I hear wonderful things about Sushi... I would like to try some if it is available for order ::smiles to the Waiter::
<Reynard> ::gets the strong smell of sake and cigar from Logan::then to Kurt:: Sure, perhaps I'll see you around, Kurt was it?
<Wanda> Tea and chicken, sir. ((Seems like all Father has ever suggested, going into a new culture.)) ::smiles in a polite manner::
<Catseye> ::holds up the menu again:: fishhhhhh
<Erik> ::looks up, raising a brow at Raven:: Yes?
<Emma> Cahtzee, I ordered for you.
<Remy> Same as dem. ::motions to Emma::
<Catseye> ::puts the menu down::
<Erik> Waiter> We got sushi, yes... ah... tuna is okay?
<Logan> ::leads kurt to the restaurant where the others are::
<Emma> ::Nods::
<Kurt> I suppose so. ::follows after Logan, stuffing the bag of candy in a pocket::
<Pietro> ::shrugs:: Sure, sounds great.... Do you have the delicious tea as well? ((What the hell was the name of it...)) ::Sighs:: Forget it, I cannot remember the name.
<Reynard> ::watches them go and decides not to follow them. That Logan guy didn't seem to friendly...::
<Erik> Waiter> ::turns to Wanda:: Chicken? How you want it?
<Mystique> ::takes a sip of her martini testing it for quality:: As you can probably tell, I am a woman who does not appreciate secrets kept from her. If this partnership is going to work, then there needs to be a level of confidence...of trust...
<Wanda> I...don't know? What're my choices? ::blushes further::
<Erik> Waiter> ::grins:: Ah, I recommend the [[spicy chicken noodles]]... Sorry, don't know what you call it... Is good, you want to try it? And I bring tea for everyone...
<Pietro> Ah, excellent... Thank you very much..
<Wanda> Sounds great. ::smiles:: ((I have no idea what I'm getting, do I?))
<Erik> ::brow raises a bit further:: I suppose you are right... ::leans back slightly:: I must apologize for the ... incident earlier this week.
<Reynard> ::glances at his watch and see's it's near midnight, and he's been up all day::
<Logan> ::leads kurt onward, into infinity! and the restaurant, bobbing and weaving through the aisles directly to the mutants, party of five::
<Erik> Waiter> Just tea? Want sake too?
<Mystique> ::raises an eyebrow:: ((Was that just easier than I thought?)) ::takes another full sip of her drink:: Then I take it we are at an agreement?
<Catseye> ::looks at Emma:: drink?
<Kurt> ::looks around the restaurant after they enter, with a side-glance at Logan:: ((What was that about..?)) ::looks to the others:: ..Hello.
<Pietro> ::nods:: Yes!! That was what I was trying to think of.. ::blinks at the newcomers:: Uhm, sorry, these people will be joining us as well..
<Logan> [[No, sake, waiter. That's the last things these kids need.]] ::snorts::
<Remy> ::smirks::
<Emma> Do you have milk? ::Points to Catseye.:: I'll take tea.
<Erik> ACTION> REY NOTICES THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF THE RESTAURANT THAT THE GROUP OF TOURISTS HE SAW EARLIER IS ALREADY IN THERE... LOGAN AND KURT SEEM TO BE JOINING THEM
<Emma> ((Oh god, not him...)) ::Cold look at Logan.::
<Wanda> ::crosses her arms across the dress, feeling the cold air finally sink in front of the weather or whatever:: ((I knew this dress was too short.)) ::she looks up, and nods politely to the newcomers::
<Erik> Waiter> ::questioning look to Logan:: [[What can I get you, sir?]]
<Catseye> ::waves to Logan and Kurt::
<Logan> ::pulls up a chair, spinning it around to sit backwards at the table:: [[Sake.]]
<Reynard> ::watches them for a bit having 'fun' with their waiter. It wouldn't really be polite to barge into thier dinner, and it looks like they have a waiter that speaks English. Lot's of pretty and nicely dressed girls though...::
<Kurt> ::also takes a seat, with a small wave back at Catseye::
<Remy> ::looks around the table at the girls:: ((..Dey some really good lookin' girls.. hm..))
<Wanda> So you all finally found us, hmm? ::continues to keep her arms crossed, almost hugging herself::
<Reynard> ((Hmm, maybe a cup of tea, booth next to them is open, Kurt may recognise me, then I won't be interuptng. Besides, I need some tea.)) ::enters the restraunt and seats himself, walking past Kurt and Co's table but acting like he doesn't see Kurt, which is entirely feasible considering he's got the large coat on::
<Erik> ::sips at his drink when a waiter brings it:: Raven, I acted on a momentary opportunity. If I had waited to explain the circumstances and the necessity for speed, I likely would have arrived too late to help the children.
<Logan> I never lost you. ::eyes scanning the restaurant mentally accounting for every person present::
<Pietro> ::looks to wanda for a moment, squinting slightly:: ((She looks uncomfortable... I wonder what is wrong...))
<Wanda> If you say so. It's uncanny how you manage to keep track of everyone around, Mr. Logan. ::raises an eyebrow:: ((It's gotten even colder.))
<Emma> ::Takes off her jacket, wearing a white tube style top and hands the jacket to Wanda.:: {{If I know it was going to get colder, I've wouldn't suggested the dress to you.}}
<Remy> I got it, chere, keep yo' jacket.
<Catseye> ::fidgets::
<Remy> ::pulls off his trench and hands it to Wanda::
<Logan> ::calls out to rey:: [[You following us, kid?]]
<Kurt> ::digs in his pocket for a moment, taking out one of the jawbreakers and putting it in his mouth::
<Pietro> ::blushes slightly taking the opportunity to glance at Emma, and then quickly back down at the table:: ((Wow..))
<Erik> ACTION> THE WAITER RETURNS, SETTING PLATES OF FOOD, SUSHI, TEA, CUPS, AND SAKE DOWN AT THEIR TABLE
<Mystique> A note would have sufficed...You know how important this school is for the future...and you of all people should know how important you are to the success of this school. When you disapear, I have to assume the worse for all of our sakes. ::takes a deep breath imagining the world unfolding if Erik should perish before his role is complete::
<Reynard> ::looks up and 'sees' Logan acting surprised, and is a little that the man knows Japanese:: [[Oh, hello again!]]
<Catseye> cahtzee tail hurt ::frowns::
<Wanda> ::startled, takes a moment to recognize Emma's voice in her head, and nearly drops the trench coat after being handed two items at once:: Oh..Sorry. I'm not.. ::pauses as the waiter comes up::
<Logan> [[Cut the act, bub, pull up a chair.]]
<Emma> No worry. Just past it under the table, Wanda. ::Gets her coat back and crosses it over her lap.::
<Pietro> ::smiles as the food arrives, grabs his chopsticks trying to figure out how to get them to work for a good 10-15 minutes:: ((Damnit... Why can't they just use forks...))
<Reynard> [[What act? And thank you for the invite..]] ::gets up from his own table and joins Logan's assorted group::
<Kurt> ::looks at the food and realizes he didn't order.. then blinks as Rey sits at their table:: ((Him again?))
<Reynard> ::gives a small wave to Kurt as he sits down and smiles to the rest of the group::
<Erik> ACTION> ON HIS WAY OVER, REY COULD SWEAR HE SEES A PURPLE TAILTIP SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH, JUST BENEATH THE HEM OF THE PURPLE-HAIRED GIRL'S DRESS
<Logan> ::pours himself a class of sake, knocks it back:: Hmmph.
<Wanda> Thank you. ::puts the trench over her shoulders, and wrinkles her nose a bit:: ((Smells like cigarettes..Oh right. I'll have to work on that habit of his, along with Mr. Logan's.)) ::glances at her food for a moment, and carefully takes a bit, using the perfect manners taught to her by Bova, basically::
<Pietro> ::blinks:: ((And who the heck is this guy?)) ::finally figures out how to work the sticks, and takes a roll of sushi into the chopsticks and puts it in his mouth:: ((...Not bad...))
<Emma> ::Makes sure Catseye get her food and milk.::
<Reynard> ::shakes his head a little:: ((Must be getting sleepy...seeing things)) ::waves a waiter over and orders some green tea::
<Emma> ::Then starts to eat her sushi.:: So why are you gracing us with your persence, Mr. Logan? ::She asks, almost mockingly, but not quite.::
<Erik> ::brow furrowed slightly, sips at his drink:: ...I am glad you have such faith in this school's mission, Raven.
<Remy> ::grabs his set of chopsticks, picks up a roll of sushi and eats it::
<Logan> [[Your hair color, don't normally see it in this part of the world.]] ::pours another glass then looks at emma:: Somebody has to make sure you kids don't cause an international incident.
<Catseye> ::doesn't see a fork like metalhead had told her to use:: food! ::just eats off the plate::
<Mystique> ::faint smile:: You have no idea... ::raises her glass:: How about a toast?
<Erik> ACTION> A PASSING WAITER EYES CATSEYE ODDLY..
<Reynard> ::nods to Logan::Rey also only looks slightly oriental as well:: [[My father is american.]]
<Kurt> ::sits there, trying to act like he doesn't know anyone else at the table::
<Erik> ::clinks his glass off of Raven's, hesitantly, still frowning slightly::
<Emma> Godforbid... ::rolls her eyes as she eats.:: Shall we remember your display in manner?
<Wanda> ::takes a bite, and lets the flavor sink in for a moment:: ((Not too bad..And it seems to be warming me up a bit.)) ::frowns over to Catseye:: Cahtzee..
<Pietro> ::almost scowls:: ((What, father sent him along too? He didn't think Wanda and I could handle keeping the others out of trouble on our own?)) ::sighs and then takes another piece of sushi:: ((I still need to get to know these new students... I really do not know much about any of them...))
<Mystique> To the future... ::downs the rest of her glass in a single gulp::
<Remy> ::..tries to sneak a cup of sake::
<Catseye> ::looks up at Wanda and grins::
<Reynard> ::watches Caseye eating...also notes she smells more like animal than human...very odd::his tea arrives and his takes a sip of it::
<Mystique> ::rests the now empty martini glass upon the table looking curiously to Erik:: You look troubled...is there something bothering you?
<Wanda> ::echoes Pietro's sigh, and takes a sip of her tea:: Mr. Logan, if you have something you need to do...
<Catseye> ::goes back to eating::
<Logan> ::knocks back another glass of sake:: [[That right, hmm. You normally make a habit of joining strange foreigners for dinner, kid?]]
<Erik> ::still absently staring into his glass:: .... ::glances up:: I'm sorry?
<Remy> ::drinks his glass of sake as he eats another sushi::
<Reynard> ::attention is brought back to Logan:: [[You invited me to join you. I only came in here for some tea before heading home]]
<Pietro> ::puts down the chopsticks, and takes the cup of tea with both hands and takes a sip::
<Wanda> ::looks over to Pietro, and shakes her head:: Sometimes I wonder.
<Pietro> ::looks over to wanda, placing the cup of tea back on the table:: What's wrong Wanda?
<Kurt> ::eats another piece of candy, idly wondering what Logan and Rey are talking about::
<Mystique> Something is bothering you. Its quite apparent...but what is it? ::stares with concern at him across the table::
<Catseye> ::licks the plate clean before carefully lifting the glass of milk to her mouth and drinking from it.. spilling some::
<Reynard> ::is understandably distracted by Catseye once again...::
<Emma> ::Smiles at Catseye, a real smile.:: ((I'm glad she's enjoying a real meal. Wonder how long that apeish bastard or Mr. Vampire had her in that lab.))
<Erik> ACTION> LOGAN OVERHEARS SOME MUTTERING AT A NEARBY TABLE ABOUT CREEPY FOREIGNERS WITH NO MANNERS
<Wanda> I'm worried about Father. ::furrows her brow with thoought, and takes another bite of the entrée::
<Reynard> ::Rey's hat twitched ever so slightly as he hears the muttering as well, reflex from his trying to hear better::
<Catseye> ::puts the glass down and wipes herself off with a napkin:: cahtzee done!
<Logan> ::ignores the muttering for the most part, noticing the twitch:: Hmm.
<Emma> ::Finshes the rest of her meal.::
<Erik> Raven, I am not sure what triggered this sudden bout of concern. ::weary tone::
<Pietro> ::leans back, having gotten full:: That was delicious... ::looks to Wanda:: ...Let's talk about this later..
<Reynard> ::smiles at Pete seeing that he enjoys the food::
<Remy> ..::tries to sneak another class of sake, after finishing off his meal::
<Mystique> Not sure? Are you telling me you are subject to mood swings? Are your...previous injuries perhaps bothering you? ::glances about the bar instinctively suspicious of Erik's bad omen::
<Wanda> ::stares at her meal, and toys with it a bit, her attention focused on her thoughts::
<Logan> ::takes the entire bottle and chugs it down, glaring at remy as he chugs::
<Kurt> ::shifts slightly in his seat, wanting to wander off on his own, but knowing Logan would just stop him from doing so::
<Remy> ::snickers as logan downs the whole bottle::
<Reynard> ::stares at Logans behavior:: ((My, this man can hold his alcohol...))
<Emma> How does one wave down a waiter in Japan? ::Yawns and streches.:: I'm a bit sleepy.
<Erik> ::wary look at Raven:: My 'injuries' are negligible. I am simply unsure of what your motivations are, for agreeing to take a position at the school.
<Pietro> ::nods to Emma:: Yeah... So am I.. ::sighs:: The jetlag is likely starting to kick in ::frowns, looking around for the waiter::
<Catseye> ::slides under the table and out on the other side::
<Emma> ::Sighs.:: I'll go with Catzy, Pietro, I'll pay you back. ::Grabs her jacket and follows Catseye.::
<Erik> ACTION> CATSEYE BUMPS REYNARD'S TABLE ON HER WAY OUT... HIS CHAIR, A BIT UNSTEADY ALREADY, STARTS TO TIP BACKWARDS
<Mystique> ::eyes widen at the sudden questioning of her motives:: I...I simply believe as you do...in a future where mutant are accepted for who they are and we all live in relative peace. I want to help ensure that vision comes to pass.
<Reynard> Gah! ::falls over backwards, tumbling out of his chair. His vain attempt to catch the table edge missed::
<Pietro> Alright. ::smiles to Emma, and sits bored-like waiting for the waiter to appear:: ((Where is this guy?)) ::waves his hand around waiting for the waiter to show up::
<Erik> ACTION> REYNARD'S HAT FALLS OFF... LARGE, FURRED, POINTY EARS MAKING AN APPEARANCE. THE RESTAURANT SUDDENLY HUSHES.
<Kurt> ::glances over at Rey at the sudden movement, blinking::
<Wanda> ::rubs her forehead quickly, and toys around with the rather full plate, finally taking another bite::
<Remy> ::looks at Reynard, looks a bit shocked:: Whoa.. he onna us?
<Reynard> ::eyes go wide, he scrambles for his hat, jamming it on his head before dashing out of the restaurant, full speed::
<Catseye> ::stops and looks at the bright colors:: furboy fall down
<Erik> Waiter> ::stares at them, having been on his way over to the table:: ....
<Pietro> ::blinks suddenly:: ((What the...)) Mr. Logan do you want me to go after him?
<Logan> ::stands with throwing his chair to the ground and chasing after rey:: Stay here, all of you!
<Kurt> ::...watches them run out of the restaurant:: ...Stay here!?
<Erik> Waiter> Listen, we don't want trouble here. You pay, you leave.
<Reynard> ::ducks down an alleyway not too far form the restraunt, sillently cursing himself:: ((Gah, stupid! Stupid!)) ::after glances about a bit to make sure non ones looking his way he lifts his hat up a bit to reposition his ears::
<Wanda> ::glances up slowly:: What the devil is his problem?
<Catseye> ::runs after the furboy::
<Pietro> ::sighs and looks to the waiter:: Well bring over the check then buddy. ::almost angry look:: ((Bastard...))
<Wanda> Here. ::hands the waiter her wad of cash:: Keep it. ::stands up, and hands Remy his trench, then heading for the door:: ((Where did they go?))
<Reynard> ::exits the alley way heading slowly for home:: ((Man, and that place had some of the best tea...))
<Remy> Sure y' don' need it? It's cold outside.
<Pietro> ::slips his $50 to Wanda:: Hold onto that... ::walks casually towards the door, opens it and then takes off in a blaze of speed as soon as the door is opened::
<Kurt> ::stands and strides out of the resaurant, not really thinking he'll be able to catch up with them:: ((He is a mutant, too, then.....))
<Erik> Waiter> ::takes the wad of cash, counting it, frowning slightly.. but subsides:: Just go..
<Erik> What little I know of your background, Raven, does not exactly fit with the motives you have just described.
<Catseye> ::runs outside trying to keep up with Logan and Rey::
<Logan> ::chase chase chase:: ((Goddamn kids...)) ::yells at whoever's picked up pursuit:: I thought I told you to stay at the restaurant?!
<Emma> I'm going to inform the others about what's going on...
<Emma> ::Leaves the resturant and heads back to the hotel.::
<Erik> ACTION> LOGAN NEARLY RUNS REYNARD OVER, WHEN THE KID POPS BACK OUT OF AN ALLEY
<Wanda> ::shakes her head to Remy, and sighs as she walks out:: There's no way we can catch up with them now.
<Logan> ::tries to grab a hold of his shirt::
<Reynard> ::Rey manages to keep from falling down this time, then he realises who just ran into him and he takes off runnning again:: ((Gah, he's after me!!))
<Remy> ::slips back into his trench:: Y' t'ink we should go back t' de 'otel den?
<Pietro> ::keeps his chase on, pulling into the alleyway behind Logan:: ((...This guy is pretty quick for his size.))
<Kurt> ::walks at a quick pace, dodging around people as he tries to see where Logan and Rey went::
<Mystique> I'm a complicated woman...I've lived a long time and have bore witness to history's share of tragedy. But here it is again, that issue of trust. If you doubt me so...how is it I can prove my intentions to you? ::fiddles with the stem of her empty glass::
<Reynard> ::nearly falls down *again* as Logan has a firm hold on his shirt::
<Catseye> ::almost runs into Logan::
<Wanda> I suppose so..We can't draw attention to ourselves any further. I assume they'll take the responsible route and contact us..::her eyes reflect slight annoyance, and she starts back towards the hotel::
<Emma> ::Heads inside the hotel.:: ((Judging by Ms. Darklhome's manner to my mothers... she should be in the bar.))
<Logan> Relax, kid. We're not gonna hurt you. ::holds onto rey until he stop struggling::
<Emma> ::Heads into the said area.:: Ms. Darklhome?
<Catseye> ::walks around Logan and looks at Rey::
<Remy> ::walks side by side with Wanda... checks his pockets.. notices the wallet he lifted earlier is gone:: Damnit..
<Erik> I know virtually nothing about you, Raven. I have invited you into my home, entrusted my children to your care... ::quiets at Emma's approach::
<Pietro> ::looks at Reynard:: Look... We are like you... You don't have to worry about us.. ::finally speaking and moving from behind logan to infront of Reynard, using his super-speed as to show that he is a mutant as well::
<Reynard> [[Then let go of me! I don't want any trouble...]] ::trying to twist around to face Logan, fight if need be, doubtful he'd do well though::
<Catseye> ::stares down at Rey:: redfur talk funny
<Mystique> ::looks up to see Emma approach:: ((Hmmm? Blasted children....ruining perfectly good moments...))
<Emma> ::Starts to shurg on her coat, seeing the headmaster and Mystique.:: We've, spotted someone... {{<to Erik> A mutant.}}
<Logan> ::lets go:: You know what a mutant is, kid?
<Wanda> ::slips into the hotel quietly, and takes a seat in the front lobby, instead of following Emma::
<Erik> ::sharp look at Emma:: Where? Has anyone been injured?
<Kurt> ::sighs to himself, then starts wandering towards the general location of the hotel::
<Erik> ::stands up swiftly::
<Reynard> ::switches to English now:: Yeah... me...
<Emma> Logan went after them. I don't think so.
<Catseye> ::reaches out to touch Rey's ear::
<Logan> Uh huh, and all of us too. ::folds his arms over his chest::
<Pietro> You... and the rest of us.. ::looks solemnly at Reynard::
<Remy> ::held the door for Wanda, follows her..:: .. Y'alright?
<Mystique> With Logan after him...I can't say how long no injurty status will last. ::stands up from her seat placing an appropriate tip on the table::
<Erik> ::moves out into the lobby:: Where are they? ::sees Wanda, relaxing slightly::
<Mystique> ::follows Erik keeping close to him:: ((Wanda too?))
<Reynard> ::back away from Catseyes touch, not wanting anyone else (the crowded street for instance) to see his ears:: What do you want from me?
<Emma> ::Follows the other two.:: They were at a resturant with us. The boy was eating with us and he's a bit like Catzy and Kurt.
<Wanda> I'm fine. Situations like this do not bode well with me. I feel useles-- ::glances up as Erik approaches, her eyes meeting his:: I am not sure. Pietro darted off as quickly as Mr Logan and Catseye. ::again, the annoyance seems to flicker within her expression::
<Kurt> ::walks into the hotel, then moves over to the others, quickly::
<Remy> ::turns towards Erik::
<Mystique> Kurt...are you alright? ::studies him from head to toe::
<Erik> Eating with you? ...So he is not hostile... what precisely took place?
<Pietro> ::looks to Reynard:: We could help you... My father is the headmaster at a school for people like us...
<Kurt> ::with a slight nod of his head:: I am fine, Raven.
<Catseye> :;tries to pull off the hat::
<Reynard> A whole school of mutants?
<Erik> ACTION> CATSEYE SWIPES REY'S HAT, FREEING THE EARS ONCE MORE
<Emma> Catzy was crawling under the table and knocked over this boy's chair. {{He has fox ears.}}
<Emma> ::Rubs her temples.:: ((Using this too much.))
<Reynard> ::Rey is a bit dumbstruck by this news and Catseye gets his hat:: Hey, that's my favorite hat!
<Mystique> I think it is best for you all to retire to your rooms now. ::places hands on hips::
<Wanda> ::crosses her arms and walks back outside, glancing around to see if anything is going on nearby::
<Catseye> ::patpat's Rey's head:: soft
<Logan> That's the idea anyway. ((Not much learnin's been going on though.))
<Reynard> ::Smile at Catseye:: Yes, now can I have my hat back?
<Pietro> That is correct... ::looks to Catseye, and tries using his speed to snatch the hat away from her and give the hat back to Rey:: ..Why don't you accompany us to the Hyatt? My father would be interested in meeting you.
<Catseye> ::tries to hand the hat back but it gets snatched::
<Kurt> ..We are supposed to go to our rooms when something like this is going on? ::doubtful look::
<Reynard> ::Nods to Pete as he puts his hat back on:: Sure, but I'm suppose ot be home soon, porbably have to call...
<Wanda> ((Where could they be? Are they alright?)) ::shivers a bit against the cold, but maintains her watch::
<Pietro> ::nods:: Alright... The hotel is just up the street, you can call from there.. ::smiles and sticks out his hand:: My name is Pietro... It is a pleasure to meet you.. ::starts walking back towards the hotel:: If you could follow me, I can introduce you to my father..
<Catseye> ::loses interest and points at the brightly lit pachinko parlor:: cahtzee go?
