(Remember you may only post here if you are part of the mansion defense!!)

*Tricity woke up in the infirmary with a jolt, causing the electricity in the room to flicker. The DocProf came over and touched her forehead.*
"Doc, how long have I been out?"
doc: "A few days, child."
"A FEW DAYS?!"
*He simply nodded and checked her blood pressure along with placing his healing hands over her stomach to ensure the baby was alright.*
doc: "Well, it seems like everything is alright once more, Delilah. YOU MUST take it easy, understood? Seriously, I may have to bind you to this bed if you don't SLOW DOWN!"
*Tricity smiled slightly and nodded in compliance.*
"As long as the occasion doesn't call for my actions, then I promise I'll be good."
*She swung her legs out of the bed and noticed it was around 9:30 PM. The younger kids would need to be put to bed and she would definitely need to get back on track with the days she'd lost since spending them in the infirmary. Tricity hugged the feebled old man and then left the room. As she jogged down the stairs, the familiar faces of the residents made her smile. 'Thank God the house didn't burn down', she thought with sarcasm.*
"ALL RIGHT GUYS!! You know what time it is!!"
*Several of the people in the living room looked up at her with smiles to see she was ok, but many of the younger ones groaned because they knew it was time for bed.*
"UP UP UP! Let's go!!"
*She clapped her hands together and began picking up the toys and children from the floor, ushering them up the stairs to bed.*

(Participants, please post where your charrie is at the moment. It doesn't matter if he/she is in the living room or wherever and we're posting under the mansion grounds thread, it's fine. We'll be using this thread to have the battle.Keep to the order as well! Tricity, Emerald, Axel Pike, Fade, Shine, Deltoid, Jaguar, Wraith, and Raum. If a person does not post within a day, we will skip that person's turn and continue with the order. You may post in other places on the forum, but without interference and acknowledgment to this battle!)

A dim light shone through a window in the mansion. The room was that of Fade's and this teenage redhead took advatage of the room and made it her own in the essence. Music played softly from her boom box at a low volume in order to not wake anyone. Her feet slowly moved across the floor as she danced to the beat of Nightmare of You. As she continued to dance, she moved closer to the bed and a sharp pain ran up her leg and throbbed in her toe as she stubbed the little toe on her bed.

"Crap!" She said, well, crap is the only appropriate word to use for what words came out of her mouth as she grabbed the wounded toe and applied pressure to it with utmost concern. It hurt and it hurt badly. She brought her knee up to her head as she continued to apply pressure to the pain and hit her head on the bone of her knee before she couldn't stand the pain and bit her leopard pants in pain. It hurt, I am not going to lie!

Ruby was messing around with Emerald's Cd player when Tricity walked in, almost instantly she knew that everyone who was her age and under had to got to bed. She stopped messing around with the contraption and looked up at ms tipper. "aww..I almost got it to work." She pouted slightly as she trudged up the stairs to her and emmys room.

Emerald rolled her eyes at her younger sister, trying her best to keep herself rom laughing. "Night Ruby." The wolf girl said as her sister trudged into her room. She looked over to Tricity eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So boss lady have a nice nap?" She asked

(OOC: I see we have been confused about going in order lol...ONCE MORE!! >.< You have to go in the order that's mentioned in the yellow text. This means you post once and then you'll have to wait your turn after everyone else has gone. I know this seems kind of annoying, but we all have different schedules and it's the only way to be fair so people aren't left behind. You don't need to delete your posts, members who have posted, but we will continue the order AFTER Emerald, meaning it is now Axel Pike's turn. I ask again, PLEASE make your posts have some substanance since you will only be posting once until your turn after everyone else. Got it?? Here's the list again: Tricity, Emerald, Axel Pike, Fade, Shine, Deltoid, Jaguar, Wraith, and Raum. Stay in order, my dearies!! )

(OOC: Soory everyone, the order mix-up was my fault. You have my apologies, now we can move on)
(I am in the mansion front hall)
It is dark.
Axel at the front gates, opens the gates and walks calmly up the path to the main door, then slips inside.

He was greeted by the warm light of the front hall, a much welcome change of atmosphere from the glomy darkness outside. Striding in, he stopped a moment to yawn deeply - covering his mouth as he did so.

(now i wait for anything interesting to happen)
After yawning Axel makes his way to the staircase, looking forward to the welcoming softness of his bed. He isn't used to Big city life, the mall wore him out a bit.

Lee still couldn’t get over what he had just done. It wasn’t the fact that he slept with Kalt, it was more of the fact now there was a very close bond. Lee, laid in bed next to her, holding her close and running his hand up and down her arm. “So tell me, where do we go from here? Cause personally I don’t think that a friend buddy-buddy thing is really going to work out.” He told her in the sweetest voice he could possibly do. All Lee could do was look into her big beautiful blue eyes and pray that some how he don’t hurt her seeing how he never really cared for someone in his life.

‘Ah, what am I thinking? I just met this girl.’ He thought. Lee rolled over getting his body as close to hers as he could and wrapped his arms around her tight from behind. ‘So now the question is, what do I say when she finds out im not really the greatest person?’ Lee closed his eyes and just took in the sent of Kalt. Getting lost in what he was finding to be maybe some sort of happiness Lee just gave off a small smile well he laid next to Kalt in her room.

((Jus' transfering my latest post from the garden thread Wraith and I have been usin'))

Raphael gave a grin at her expression, he found it slightly amusing, and it nicely hid the fact that he was not entirely ready to jump to kissing her. "I do appologize my dear Lady Victoria." He responded, immediately after her short laugh, then returned the smirk to his face, as she posed her next question. While he pondered her next question, she turned and leaned so her face was over his.

"The chase?" He repeated after her, adding in a 'hmmmm' to go with it. He watched her for a moment, then lifted his head and pecked her nose, that much he was ready for, then let his head fall back down to the grass. "The chase is all good and fun. I'm always up for it. Even now, but... I've always also been a rather blunt person. Beatin' round the bush has been... difficult?" He grinned up at her. "Where's this bit of a lesson you are teaching going then?"

Jaguar was in the war room, listening to whatever everyone had to say. Yeah, Yeah so whens the fight?

Victoria let out a giggle when Raphael pecked her on her nose.
"Why, thank you." She sat up with a smile, amused by him. It was true that she had wanted more from him, and it may have been too soon for either of them, but she was happy with what she had. "I believe that's a good start." She smiled again. Stretching out her legs in front of her, she grasped the toes of her shoes and arched her back for a stretch.

She rose a brow at his question, smirking sideways at the role reversal.
"I thought you were the one doing the teaching, Raph." she playfully swatted at his chest lightly with the back of her hand. "I hadn't planned on teaching anything. I was looking for fun." She shot him a suggestive glance even if the situation wasn't going to lead anywhere. The chase had to start with a flirt, and they were well on their way with that.

Kalt let out a satisfied sighed. She had never felt so complete and happy before. Kalt turned to face Lee and smiled as she said,"I would have objected had you said we should be just buddy buddy."

Kalt just looked at Lee, taking in all the small features there were to see on his face. 'I wonder if he would like to go see my aunt. I am sure my aunt would like to see me since its been so long and I could go with Lee to some of the museums in Europe.' Kalt thought this as she let her lips form a very relaxed and happy smile.

"Lee, would you like to take a trip to Europe with me sometime later this month? We could go visit my aunt and there are really great art museums as I'm sure you know," Kalt said with a laugh and a small kiss on Lee's lips.

*As Tricity slowly lowered herself onto the couch, she saw that only a few of the older ones were awake and all the younger children had gone to bed. What seemed like only a few moments, Tricity had actually fallen asleep for about a half an hour. She opened her eyes and stood up to do a round of the house. Tricity passed by the front hall and pulled back the long draperies to peer out on the lawn. The floodlights were on full blast, illuminating most of the yard. She began closing the curtains when a sudden movement caught her eye. Tricity looked more closely and saw a small tactical unit moving on the edges of the surrounding perimeter brick wall.*
"Oh no...not again."
*She quickly closed the drapes and hurried down the hallway. After pulling back another curtain, Tricity saw more of the unit moving across the lawn.*
"Shit."
*Tricity ran down to the security center and peered at the different television screens, seeing most of them had been taken out. Just as she was taking it all in, the security alarm tripped and the sound of the emergency system began to sound through the mansion. Tricity quickly lowered the sound of the alarm and went on the PA system.*
"EVERYONE REPORT TO THE LIVING ROOM IMMEDIATELY!"
*Tricity ran upstairs to start collecting the younger children in their rooms and showing them downstairs. She was hoping some of the older mutants would help usher the younger ones as well. When she reached the top, many of the students began running down the hallways.*
"Get down to the living room right now! If you see anyone break in, get to the Danger Room. You know the emergency procedures."

((SInce Tricity is the narrator I think she is gonna decide when the goverment soldiers are gonna start comming into the mansion so Im just gonna make my character run down to the living room))

Emerald's eyes shot awake from her sleep as she heard the alarm. The Wolf girl slid on her lucky jacket and her necklace before ushering her younger sister out of bed.

"Emmy what if is it?" Ruby asked sleepilly, fox ears drooped

"Some Goverment morons are outside and Tricity wants everyone in the living room now." Emerald said grabbing Ruby's arm, pratically dragging the little girl out of bed. The wolf girl let out a grunt as she let Ruby ride piggy back style on her back into the living room. Emerald saw her little thirteen year old sister look at Tricity sleepilly as she attempted to stay awake.

"So we wait till they attack first?" Emerald asked

(OOC: Yes, I will start the break in. For now, everyone just make your thread trying to get into the living room from wherever you may be.

Axel stopped halfway up the stairs when the alarm began to blast. He listened to the announcement, then turned sharply and ran off to the living room.
"uh oh, i hope that, if theres fighting to be done, that i can get me a Golem body.." thought Axel, taking into account that he's pretty much useless in a fight unless in golem form.

(OOC: Because Fade hasn't posted within a day of the last post, Shine you may make your next post and we will continue in the order. Fade, if you come on before Shine posts, you may make your post.)
