At Dumpling Dan's

...I can't breathe.

"...we love you too, Alex. Don't you forget it." Hope Remington smiled, not even all that bothered by the fact that Al's arm was squeezing on her face a bit too much. A genuine, well-done smile that was. "And we all do. And we will. I promise you that."


Underground Beach Party

The main problem of having a wheelchair-bound person go on a beach is that there's a fair chance you'll get stuck in the sand.

...fair chance, yeah. It's more like a terrible certainty.

Hope decided to make use of two crutches instead of one this time, slowly making her way through the beach and mentally cursing herself for choosing such a way of going anywhere. Boy, where those heavy. Her little training at the hot spring did nothing to alleviate that fact.

Dressed somewhat more warmly, having worn a hoodie on to keep herself from ggetting chilly and switching the sneaker for a sandal, she ventured nowhere in particular, briefly wondering about the music Medus would provide... until she'd spotted a familiar royal figure resting on a picnic mat, all gloomy. Ayers was already there too, cheering her up, but...

And this overrides any other would-be to-do things.

"...hey." She addressed both of them, giving a small wave and then hobbling a little on her crutches, just barely holding a curse. "Can I sit here?"

Lucas was at the party too, having some barbecue.

Alexia gave Hope a weak smile and nodded. She ate another dumpling and looked at her friend.

"....Thank you for earlier. I appreciate it."

I still don't deserve it.

Alexia winced and looked down. "So, um...how's the party fpr you?"

Party time

Ieria was overjoyed as she sat near Medus, one of her younger siblings in her lap. The little snake/human children were jumping all over the place, some even slithering on their tails. A few even decided to try and a few of the guests into a game of tag as they dashed around between their legs. Ieria herself was wearing something far out of the ordinary, a rather pretty dark green dress that complimented her dark red hair. She would go out and have fun with the others, eventually, for now she just wanted to sit by Medus and listen as she watched.

Francesca sat by Glynda, watching her friend put away liquor bottle after liquor bottle, one of her youngest clinging to her like a leaf. She rubbed Bartholomew's head lovingly as he shook like a leaf.

A woman none of them had really ever seen before was also present. She looked similar to Francesca, save for her scales which were a shade of green. She also appeared much older, but still had an edge of beauty to her.

Pius would see the rest of the village on the far side of the lake. It was a spectacle of light and sound, granted most of the sound came from his side of the lake. Nevertheless he would get a feeling of...peace, from this village. Indeed, everywhere he looked, faunus and man got along together, despite the racial differences that plagued the surface cities. He could see another cavern that led off to who knew where, really. He got the feeling there was still much to this cave system that he hadn't seen.

Medus for his part simply leaned back on the bench with Ieria, eating several plates of meat. He had been asked to put on some music and had agreed to but that was for later. For now the rocker simply contented himself to sit back in just a pair of jeans and enjoy the ambiance of the party.

Really? Each of Jack's gauntlets weighed a ton, so he could hold this guy no problem, he threw Oscar, hard to the ground, dropping down to attempt to swing his fists down on the knight,

"Don't think about it, Alex." Hope slowly put down the first crutch before sort of sliding down, sitting by Alexia's other side before putting down the other heavy metal leg replacement. "I will be honest, I completely forgot about Ieria's birthday. Said happy birthday, gave her a present, lurked around a bit, then decided that going anywhere in that crowd with these crutches is asking for trouble. I'd rather not accidentally push someone into a punch bowl." Miss Remington shook her head. "How about you? You don't seem to be enjoying yourself."

Man. Vale did not stop producing good food, now did it?

Charisse was tearing into some dumplings, sitting by the beach, not wanting to get to close to the water in fear of pruning up horribly again.

She had spent much too long in that hot spring. Her mind was getting dazed and everything. Good thing someone had noticed she was showing symptoms of heatstroke and dragged her out.

Fight

Oscar grinned as he rebounded off of the ground, using his hand as a spring, he drove both of his boots into Jack's torso and lifted him off of the ground before catapulting him away. "You say the best defense is a good offense. What does that make a good defense then?" He asks as he straightens himself and rolls his shoulders.

Party

Ieria leaned her head against Medus' shoulder as she closed her eyes, sighing in content. The little snake boy, Ferdinand, sighed contently as well as he stared up at Medus and grinned. "Cool..." He muttered to himself.

Alexia would feel six little eyes staring at her from behind, if she turned around, she would see Meeri, Heeri, and Cheeri all staring at her with big grins on their faces.

Alexia smiled, a bit bitterly. Hope had been through far worse than she had. What right did Alexia have to mope around, when Hope was moving forward?

"....You know, Hope...I admire you."

She shook her head to clear it. "Anyway, my sister has our present for Ieria, we'll give it to her tomorrow."

She smiled, a genuine one this time. "....Thanks again. I'm fine, really. I'm just not used to parties."

She then turned...and saw the children. "Um, hi?"

Jack staggered back, "Who cares?" He charged back, attempting to shoulder block Oscar, knocking him off balance before following up with a right hook to the jaw.

...wait, what?

...there's nothing in me to admire, Alexia. I'm a cripple bound to a wheelchair, stuck in my oh-so mighty armor, on the verge of breaking down and murdering everyone I treasure without rhyme and reason.

"...why?" That was she could ask, taken aback more than anything else. "I mean, thanks for your words, I appreciate them, but... I'm not really a target to admire."

Then came the little snake Fauni, likely Ieria's siblings. Hope glanced at them curiously, but otherwise said nothing, hoping that they will serve enough of a distraction for Alexia to not keep at the topic from just a moment ago.

"Shoot, girl, I'm with Alexia on that one." Ayers said, lounging back. "Barely keeping it together as is with, uh..." his arms popped off as illustration. "Yer a gat dang badass. Who taught y'all how to make that, anyway?" He leaned back onto his arms, popping them back on. "And if anything, this does come with some advantages. Kids, c'mere." He held out his arms.

"This ain't bad. Could use a bit more sauce, tho." Noa mumbled through a mouth filled with dumplings. "Ya know, ya ain't dat bad after all. Tho Ah don't think Ah should eat too many. Gotta swim later."


Later, at the Beach

"Shit, why did Ah go 'n eat so many?" Noa groaned. She didn't even have her swimwear on, she was just lying facefirst on the sand like she had been sucker punched from behind.

"Lexi, put me down. Ah can't handle none o' this."

Alexia smiled. "You're strong. You don't give up. You reached out to me when I was being pathetic."

She sighed. "...I was being selfish. I mope around and ignore others. You're...not like that. Every time, you come to me, cheer me up."

"....I want to be like you."

Beach Party

Remus was sitting at the beach just enjoying the day. Chelsea was off doing other things so he didn't really have much to do...

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS"

Oh shit

WHAM

Remus was slammed forward, his face getting buried in the sand as something small and fast rammed into him from behind. Pulling his head out of the sand he sat up, dumping the little wolf faunus girl that was his little sister on the ground and turning towards her. "Luna? What are you doing here?" He asked her as he noticed his little brother looking around apprehensively, like he was looking for someone that he wanted to avoid being spotted by.

"Momma brought us for the party! We were invited by Mrs Jade!"

"And where is mo-" Remus dropped the sentence as his question was answered by his mother waving as she walked over towards the Francesca and Glynda, wearing a bikini. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that was something I never needed to see."

Beach

"...I'm sorry." Pius heard the words as he passed by Alexia, but he was uncertain as to who said it, for his focus was put towards making it to the water. Did he say it, out of regret for upsetting her in the unknown way that he had apparently done today? Or did she apologize when he felt that she had every right to be demanding one of him? In any case, he felt his lips move and saw hers do the same, and he passed her by to felt the water go up to his knees.

Looking out, he used his Semblance to see the dancing Auras in the distance, the lives moving and loving together in way not unlike those in his dorm, however strangely they expressed their experiences. Pius felt like he could be the subject of some strange painting as he stood there, watching lives move on peacefully beneath the earth.

Still, the majesty and mystery of the Jades' home did little to calm the Ashen boy's nerves. Standing alone in the shallows, looking at the bigger picture before him, Pius fell small, empty, unimportant, and...unloved, somewhere deep inside his mixed-up mind.

Letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding, Pius fell onto the wet ground and let the water rise up to his chest as he refused to bring himself back to the sands where his friends were. He didn't really know how, despite the month he'd spent with these people.

Still, Ieria's having a good birthday party, and Alexia's being cheered up by someone who has better people skills than I do. He attempted to assure himself as he let his hands rest on his knees. That should be enough.


Flashback, Jade Complex

"When and where?" Pius asked in reply, his curiosity getting the better of him. "I've got a pretty busy schedule."


Duel

Pius saw Ayers reaching for his legs and gave another fire-powered boost to his legs, moving him away from his opponent and allowing him to roll safely onto the ground. As he turned to face Ayers, the Nobel realized that he was getting within melee range, and that could only spell trouble for him.

Gotta slow him down! With one gauntlet glowing cyan and the other glowing green, Pius creating a cold vortex with the intent to slow down Ayers with an accumulating layer of hardening ice. Maybe I can stop him before he can reach me!

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN

CLANG CLANG Went the sound of Jack's shoulder and fist against the layer of Armor that Oscar had conjured for a split second to absorb the blows. "You're about to find out who." He responds before bringing down an armored fist onto Jack's head like a sledgehammer. If Jack dodged, he would notice that along seemed to be a blade, as if it were part of his armor, along with a cut along whatever part had been closest to Oscar. "Hope you don't mind if I experiment a little." Oscar states as he cracks his knuckles. "Been working on something."

Alexia's Conversation

Once Alexia finished talking, the three pounced on her, trying to make her roll with them as they giggled and hissed.

Repressed Memory Conga Line

To compound further onto Remus' mental scars, Oscar walked by Lupa, leaned in and gave her a swat on the rear before grinning to her. "Hey Lupa, I know you wanna chat with Fran, but I need your help with something."

Beauty and Beast

Francesca smiled as she saw Oscar divert Lupa's attention, she turned back to Glynda, who was probably very inebriated right now and nudged her with her elbow. "I see Lupa showed up as well. Reminds me of old times, how about you~?" She asked the witch with a suggestive wink.

Jack ducked, falling on to his back and skittering back on hands and legs, slowly getting back to his feet. He paused, realizing a small cut on his chest. He grit his teeth. "You motherfucker." He growled before charging, forward. attempting to basically tackle Oscar, slamming his head into the floor.

...this really can't be happening, can it?

"I, well..." For once, Miss Remington was at loss of words. For some reason, it just felt odd to receive such praises all of a sudden. Very, very odd.

...oh my Dust, I'm blushing.

"I mean, er..."Hope struggled to keep her composure. "I'm nothing special. Just because I keep doing what I was always planning to do doesn't mean I'm someone extraordinary."

Focusing back on Ayers, she shrugged a little. "The crutches? Had them separated from Anima itself. Mum's advice helped a lot." Then the kids pounced on Alexia, causing Miss Remington to snicker a little. At least the blush was going away.

Alexia giggled. "Hope, just accept the praise. You more than deserve it."

"Eeeehhhh?!"

The princess got tackled, rolling into the sand. When she realized what was happening, she giggled and tried to pull the kids off her.

"Oh, is that any way to treat the princess?" she joked.

Glynda

Drunk Glynda giggled. "Yeah! Like that time you guys kicked James in the balls and had turns making out with me in front of him. The look on his face!!

She scowled. "Oh, James. How I hate that bastard!"

Poor Remus

"Well thats a good way to get yourself smacked old friend." Lupa said to Oscar with a slight smirk on her face. "But I guess I'll help with whatever you need."

With Remus

"My eyes are burning." He said simply, not noticing as his sister ran off.

Nate continued to look around nervously.

Dogpile. Or... Snake and Wolf Pile

"Hey that looks like fun!" Luna said as she dashed towards where Alexia was being pounced on by the Jade triplets. She immediately picked up on her semblance accidently, only to hurt herself when she slammed into Alexia's leg with not nearly enough force as she was used to.

"Well, I don't." Kane replied. "When are you going to be free?"

Ayers frowned in concern as he scooted back, hunks of ice forming on him. "Huh, now that's neat. Ain't real damaging, but it's still..." He smiled. "You son of a bitch, I'm gitting kited! Lawd, seriously?!" He picked up the pace into a run, and stripped off his coat. Keeping his Aura protected, he held it out in front of himself as a shield as he charged towards Pius.


At the beach

"Yeah, kids, better watch out!" Ayers joked, leaning back. "Yer gonna get hit with her sister's, uh, telephonesis or hwut ever it is!" He sidled over to Hope and elbowed her. "Y'all gotta ask'er out 'fore Pius does." He said in a lower voice. "Git in on the ground floor."
