Choosing Grounds (AU/UC/XO/ADULT) Xander and Maria needed

*Quixote*

I watch from my perch on the railing way above the group. There's seventeen of them near the food court now, counting Zeus' group, although they're just watching, like me. There's a few others still coming, but this is most of them.

I'm a bit concerned about this situation with the Roswell groups. Max seems to be remembering the 'no fighting' rule, but I'm not sure if Maria and the others are going to co-operate. I'll give them a little more time but if things don't change, I'll have to step in again...

Max tells me to stop, Maria tells me to go on, Tess is confused about what's going on and others... well. Everything is confusing. Should I blast Tess or should I leave her be? Blast her, definitely. Then Max says something about dimensions. What? I look at him, confused. What did he mean? Then the topic went to how Maria is supposed to be dead, Max is supposed to be dead... Uh-oh, no? Alex is the one dead... Then a familiar voice approaches us.

Alex walks in. I stare at him. How...? They were talking about dimensions and everything, but I couldn't understand them. Alex walks to Maria and tells her it's good to see her 'alive'. Something tells me that this isn't the Alex I know...this couldn't be the Alex I know. Nor Michael is the Michael I know. Is this the dimension thing? There are people who are and are not people I know?

I shake my head. This wasn't happening. This all is Tess's Mindwarping. Why can't they see it? What's wrong with them. I turn my gaze back to Tess. This decides it. I should blast her so the mindwarp goes away. So why do I hesitate? Why can't I just do what I think? My hand keeps shaking. The powers are ready, but I'm not. I need to throw them somewhere, but this much charge could kill someone. So what? It was Tess I was talking about. But when I look at her... it feels like she's not the Tess I know.

She's someone else. But my powers still want to do something. I raise my hand up to point the ceiling and let the powers free. Okay, that damaged the ceiling a bit. I'm glad it was only one light.

"Erh...Sorry... I just needed to..." I feel a bit tired. "I just needed to get the charge off," I say and sit on the floor. I feel my hand hurting. Damn it. Every pain I feel is always 'caused by Tess - in a way. I close my eyes. "I'm sorry..."

I hope that was OK =p

*Maria*

Kyle hesitates. I look to him and see his brows drawn together and his expression tight. He's confused. I can't blame him, when I think about it too long, my head hurts too.

He raises his hand and points it to the ceiling. A shot of energy hits the roof and destroys a light. I feel the power behind it and am awed by its force.

"Erh...Sorry... I just needed to... I just needed to get the charge off," he says sitting on the floor as if his knees gave out. "I'm sorry..."

I follow him and wrap my arms around him. "It's ok." I say softly knowing what kind of pain Tess put him through. I knows he's hurting right now...seeing her again, seeing Alex alive again. "I'm here. I won't let her hurt you any more."

It looks like Kyle is having some trouble, so I crook my finger towards Perseus. Zeus’ toy obeys instantly, turning and flying towards me. I smile at Zeus and his friends, knowing they can see me through the bird’s eyes. I wonder if Zeus will notice my new clothes and if he’ll like them. I blow my friend a playful kiss just as Kyle lets loose a blast that takes out a light fixture just above where Perseus had been flying.

The danger seems to be over, so I release the mechanical bird to return to the surveillance that Zeus had set it on. Tess looks so confused. The poor girl isn’t exactly innocent, but she hasn’t done all that those around her think she did.

I pop downstairs to their level behind a pillar near the food court. Coming around, I approach Kyle. He and his friends haven't seen me in my new clothes, either. I walk up behind him, putting a hand on his shoulder and gently telling him, “She hasn’t been mind-warping anyone so far.” Staying near Kyle, I turn to Tess. “And you can’t do that to your friends here. It’s not allowed.” I tell her plainly.

I smile at Liz and Max. Those two are rather fond of rules and they already know the one about no fighting. I think they’ll approve of this one.

I think I'll wait until someone else posts before I post with Kyle.

OOC -- Maria and Quixote both posted. Q is speaking directly to Kyle and Maria is hugging him, also speaking directly to him. Who are you looking for a post from?


*Zeus*

I press my lips together tightly, trying not to smile or laugh at Quixote's antics, making faces at Perseus for us. I don't know what she's up to. I wish she'd tell me what's going on, but she's never been one for being that up-front about anything.

Then, suddenly, Quixote is down on the first floor, talking to everyone and spelling out 'rules' about 'mind-warping.' I wonder what the heck that is about...

"Looks like the conflict is over for now," I comment to Moon and the others.

[Anna-Liisa]

Eh, I was thinking maybe I'd just give others a chance to reply, since I had/have a writers block. But I will try to make a post.

[isabelle]

OOC -- Sorry. I'd like to see something from Tess and the others, too. Or Liz and Isabel. Or Tai-San, Lex, Bray and Pride. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just in a rotten mood today. --- I'll try to get a Max or an Alex up later.

my problems with comp are keeping me from being able to post at the moment, but I will be attempting to post asap.
