Defying Convention (UC/ Adult ) Thread #1

[FaithfulAngel24]

*Zan*

"I'm Tess. Tess Harding." The petite blonde answers and I notice her arms are on the one they call Max. I guess she's his bitch. Figures. Still, somethings off between the two of them. She can't possibly be looking at me like that and be getting what she needs from
white bread over there. Itz impossible. Hmm. I've never been one to adhere to any set of rules so I just may have to step out on this one. Ava knows I love her. She also knows that she's just not the one for me. We've both known that for a while now.

Maybe now she can find someone who will take care of her out of love instead of obigation. Don't get me wrong she's a valuable asset to our gang and we need her, but the sparks... the yearning. They've never been there. Not between the two of us. Although I can't help but notce her checking out my square counter part. What could she possibly see in him? The dude probabaly watches the History channel or some kind of educational shit like that. Shaking my head at the insanity that surrounds me I mutter a sarcastic, "Should we have name tags?"

*Maria*

"Da names Rath" He speaks although is clearly aggravated at the formailty of the situation. Wow, Rath. What an appropriate name for the havoic he is reeking on my senses. It's as if suddenly every nerve in my body is aware of his presence ,and it's on fire. I have got to chill out before I do something I'll regret later. Michael would never forgive me for jumping his dupe even if we are on a break. Is that what we're on? At this particular point in time I'm not sure nor do I care. After all he had that fling with Courtney right?

"Michael Guerin." His voice snapped me back into reality. We don't know anything about this 'duplicates' For all we know they could be evil. My eyes scan the length of Rath's muscular body coming to rest on his sexy smirk. Mmmm. Well evil never looked so good. Poor Alex and Kyle appear shell shocked to say the least so I give Kyle a helpful nudge. He looks to me with an appreciative expression before stating. " I'm Kyle Valenti" Out of habit he rattles off. "The sheriff's son."

Alex takes this moment to announce his presence by adding a soft, "Alexander Whitman. My friends call me Alex. Which I guess is what you are now so..." He still a little shaken up over the events so I shoot him a reassuring smile before turning back to the new group before us. "So where are you guys from?" I question knowing that they aren't from anywhere remotely close to here.

OOC: Im going to step in for Ava and Lonnie hope you don't mind

Ava~

I stand next to Lonnie watching and observing> Me being the quiet one. I had watched Max pretend to not know anything about the Granolith. I couldn't help but notice that Zan was checking my dupe, Tess out. I knew he loved me but not the way that he had in the past. wanting to move this alone, I said, "Ava."

Lonnie~

I have been standing her next to my bro, Zan listening to our dupes trying to pretend they have no clue what we are talking about. I noticed the hurt look in my dupes's eyes and wondered if she had admitted to anyone that she obviously had the hots for him. Rath and I had decided that the past wasn't for us. I thought the geeky guy was kinda cute. Though he seemed to be nervious about us being there. "Lonnie"I say.

Rath~

Hearing Zan say, "Should we have name tags?" I snicker. Hearing the one was the Sherif's son had me raising my right eyebrow while wondering how the obvious jock had gotten involved with our dupes. The guy that seemed to rattle off earlier when he saw us upstairs said, "Alexander Whitman. My friends call me Alex. Which I guess is what you are now so..." I nod my head in a silent signal that we mean them no harm. Cause if we had we wouldn't be playing this stupid game.

I notice Maria smile at him before turning her attention back to us and asking, "So where are you guys from?" I smirk before answering, "
The Big Apple. Center of the universe. Amazing pizza."


Michael~

Hearing Maria asked, "So where are you guys from?" I couldn't help but wonder why she was really asking. Deciding the best solution to everything would to act like the stonewall. I push all my emotions aside and act like Rath's obvious interest doesn't bother me. "Has everyone introduced themselves?"I mumbled

[FaithfulAngel24]

OOC: I don't mind at all. Thamks

*Maria*

"Lonnie" The Isabel look alove reveal and I look at hre curously. Are her and Rath together. I mean Destiny says that they are supposed to be. Ugh, I've spent the past 6 months hating that concept. Now this seductive stranger gives me yet another reason to loathe it. "The Big Apple. Center of the universe. Amazing pizza." I should have guessed. That accent is pretty distinctive. I was about to make a comment about how I've always wanted to see New York when Michael pipes up, "Has everyone introduced themselves?"

Ah the ever patinet Guerin. Taking a good look around I notice that everyone has spoke up except for Liz who is staring at Kyle worriedly. I take the opportunity to answer for her. "This is Liz." She knods in compliance ,but never lifts her gaze off of The Buddha Boy. To say she seems uneasy would be an understatement. "I think thats just about everybody." I acknowledge with a wistful grin.


*Zan*

I stand up a little straighter and state for the group, "Now that we've got the introductions out of the way... Why don't you tell me why you let humans in on your secret?" I had to voice the question that's been on my mind since I walked in here. Don't they understand the danger they have put themselves and the humans in. Knowing the truth will get you killed. If I've learned nothing else on the street knowing that tid bit of info kept me alive. "How long have you known?" I ask the obviously nervous humans.

[RiaRath101]

Lonnie~

Hearing my bro ask the question I knew that we were all dieing to ask, Why don't you tell me why you let humans in on your secret?" I nod my head in agreement wanting to know. I catch that Maria girl that Rath has been checking out glance at me ."Ya thinking or know about Destiny cause Rath n Iz ain't together."I said Looking at Isabel, I ask, "So ya n Michael done da beast wit two backs?"

[roswell3053]

**Max**


"Now that we've got the introductions out of the way... Why don't you tell me why you let humans in on your secret?" I hear Zan ask.

"They found out a little over a year ago. Well Most of them did. Liz was shot at in the stomach, and she would have died, but I saved her. Kyle was shot a couple of months ago, and his dad begged me to save him, so I did. That's the short version of how things happened." I answer him truthfully.

I wish that everyone would loosen up. We aren't going to get anywhere with everyone all wound up tight. "Zan if you don't mind, I would like to talk to you in private." I ask hoping that maybe he and I can clear the air between us.

[Zansgirl]

~Tess~

I took my hand off Max's shoulder as everyone introduced thereselves. Zan, Rath, Ava, and Lonnie. Lonnie, I'm guessing is short for Vilandra. They all have the original names. I cross my arms, wondering why Nasedo never gave me the name Ava. I would have loved to have my Antarian name. But, I like my name just fine, it suits me.

"Should we have name tags?" Zan says and I laugh a small laugh. He's not just fine, he has a sence of humor. I like that in a man. Of course I wasn't getting any jokes with Max, actually I wasn't getting anything from Max. He thinks Liz is his Destiny, when I am, but I wouldn't mind Zan filling in. I'd like to know what it's like to be with a New Yorker. To be with...Zan.

"Now that we've got the introductions out of the way... Why don't you tell me why you let humans in on your secret?" Zan askes and I look to Max as he says, "They found out a little over a year ago. Well Most of them did. Liz was shot at in the stomach, and she would have died, but I saved her. Kyle was shot a couple of months ago, and his dad begged me to save him, so I did. That's the short version of how things happened. Zan if you don't mind, I would like to talk to you in private." Could I join? I'd love to be with Zan in Private.

~Isabel~

For a change, I'm being the quiet one in our little group. Weird, I'm usually talking all the time, so much Max or someone has to tell me that i'm blabbing, too much. Then, I just give them a glare. I snap out of my little quiet zone when Lonnie askes, "So ya n Michael done da beast wit two backs?" My eyes completely widen and I shake my head. "No, no, no." I could stop saying 'no'. But, ever since we had those dreams, I've always thought, 'What if?"

[FaithfulAngel24]

*Maria*

Lonnie must have caught me giving her an icy glare because she answers the question etched across my face. "Ya thinking or know about Destiny cause Rath n Iz ain't together."I pretend to look uninterested ,but I am silently doing cartwheels naked in my mind. The carbon copy of Isabel turns to her twin and questions curiously, "So ya n Michael done da beast wit two backs?" Oh my goodness! Some one better say no. I wait on baited breath for someone to deny the allegation.

What if no one does? Michael never stepped out on me while we were together. Did he? Sure, they had those vivid dreams ,but that's all it was. Dreams. Right? Thankfully I do not have to face that problem because Isabel's eyes nearly double in size as she stammers, "No, no, no." Hmmm she was very adament with her answer ,but still there's a hint of guilt wearing it's way across her expression. Suddenly I feel like I'm back at square one. I have no idea where I belong in this group. I've always been Liz's kooky friend ,and Michael on again off again girlfriend. What am I if I wasn't defined by them?

"It's not any of my business. Either way." I retort rather bitterly as I look upon the scene. Max walks off with his dupe and I know that he'll do the right thing for the group. There's no reason to worry there. He always follows his heart. So... I don't really see a reason for me to be here. I'm just one of the 'powerless' ones. I have no real purpose for the group. Might as well see if I can make it to Karaoke place and see if they'll let me work in my set. "Well, Guys and Gals I'd love to stay and chat ,but I've got things to see and people to do."

I pause for a moment while I reflect on my parting comment. Letting out a soft giggle I fix my error, "Opps.. Switch that. It's things to do and people to see." With the wave of my hand I walk by the group making sure to accidently brush up against Rath. Hey, sometimes a chicks gotta do what a chicks gotta do. I almost make it up the stairs when I hear a voice cry out. "Wait!" With a flirtacious flip of my hair I turn to see whose call has stopped me.

[FaithfulAngel24]

*Zan*

"They found out a little over a year ago. Well Most of them did. Liz was shot at in the stomach, and she would have died, but I saved her. Kyle was shot a couple of months ago, and his dad begged me to save him, so I did. That's the short version of how things happened. Zan if you don't mind, I would like to talk to you in private." Well, that explains that ,but why did he risk exposing himself over some bitch. Does she belong to him? With the way she's examining the jock boy over there I'd say not.

I'm a little unsure as to who is screwing who in this group. There's clearly confusion amongst themselves as well. They all seem to be guarded ,but why? A question to study on later. "Sure." I answer with a shrug. "Rath, Iz gonna go talk biz with Maxie boy." I inform him before taking a step toward my duplicate. "You got a quiet place in mind?" I inquire crossing my arms in a defensive position. I am making it known that I don't trust this preppie. If he does feel the need to share the knowledge with me why should I tell him anything he wants to know?

Still, as much as I hate to admit it If I want to get control of the Graniloth I have to learn it's location, and this loser is the only one who can provide me with the info I need. My gaze goes back to the one called Tess and a devilish smirk creeps across my features. I could always do a little under covers investigating with the blonde. She's mad sexy.

[RiaRath101]

Michael~

I hear Lonnie ask, "So ya n Michael done da beast wit two backs?" I have no idea what she is talking about until I hear Isabel, say, No, no, no and shake her head no. I couldn't help but wonder "What if?" I glance at Maria to see her reaction and she is acting like she is waiting for one of us to confirm that we haven't been together. what the fuck.

I'm shocked to hear her say,"It's not any of my business. Either way." Guess that means we are off again. I'm trying to decide if I should say something when she says, "Well, Guys and Gals I'd love to stay and chat ,but I've got things to see and people to do." she giggles and quickly adds, "Opps.. Switch that. It's things to do and people to see."She walks by Rath and bumps into him. I shake my head in annyonce.


Rath~

I notice that Maria seems to be waiting for Isabel and Michael to answer Lonnie , "So ya n Michael done da beast wit two backs?" Isabel deny's having done anything with Michael but I suspect from their reactions that both have wondered what if? Maria says, ,"It's not any of my business. Either way." I smirk while thinking Da b'tch is single
She bumps into me as Zan says, "Rath, Iz gonna go talk biz with Maxie boy." I nod my head yes.
Turning around, I walk up the stairs and say, wait

[FaithfulAngel24]

*Kyle*

I watch the scene unfold and the strangers are revealed to be well... Hmmm We still don't know who the hell they are. Only that there was another set of pods are apparently they are it. I just don't buy it. I think they must be shapeshifters or something? Didn't that Nacedo guy warn Max about them? The skins was it? Yeah, that's it. They must be skins. Oh, what do I know? I'm just the pretty jock they keep around for decoration.

Stealing a glance at Liz I see that the gaze is mutual. Whoa, was she looking at me? I mean like a meaningful meeting of stares. Every since she asked me to pretend to sleep with her to drive Max away I have been finding it increasingly difficult to keep my feelings for her in check. I've always cared about her , and was completely devastated when she dumped me last year for the Alien King Max Evans. Sure, if I had a fancy crown I'd get all the chicks too. I've gotta get out of here. The not of this Earth growth population status is stifiling.

"Well, Guys and Gals I'd love to stay and chat ,but I've got things to see and people to do." I chuckle at the cute blush that makes it's way across Maria's embarassed face. "Opps.. Switch that. It's things to do and people to see." She begins to walk up the stairs and I take this opportunity to flee the scene. "Wait!" Rath calls rushing to the stairs. She turns around startled to see his outburst. " Where ever your going I wanna come with." She knods in agreement. Clearly surprised ,but pleased nevertheless.
