Karakoe Night (Open to ALL Mansion Folk and Ryan Grimm)

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

After all the chaos that had gone down, Alisa was happy to offer to do something fun with the students at the school (as well as Ryan if he was able to come with her). Karakoe Night in Westchester! She had rented a limo to handle more than ten people, should there be any extras who wanted to come along. For now, she was at the front of the school, checking to see who wanted to come along.

Of course Rachel did put down some ground rules for this trip: No bars, no alcohol, and everyone gets back before curfew. These were ground rules Alisa could live with and agreed with. After-all, she wanted to prove she was responsible and could handle a bunch of teenagers... as well as have fun.

"Okay, kids! Let's pack it up! Limo is gonna be arrivin' soon! Remember, no weapons, no powers, no alcohol, an' no whinnin' ! Dis is supposed to be a good, clean, fun time!" She smiled as she tried to get some of the students attention. "If you are comin' along wit' , please sign dis sheet for Mrs. Ramsey!"

Like heck Rose was letting Bobbi anywhere with the Peg-Leg Cajun without her supervision.

"No alcohol?" she asked as she approached. She wore a flannel t-shirt, jeans, and steel-toed boots, along with a cowboy hat. "Ya gotta be kiddin' me."

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

Her eyes rolled as Rose hopped in the limo. She casually crossed her legs and spoke to her.

"Chere, dis isn' Canada, Rose. You ain' old enough to drink in de United States. An' even if you could, Mrs. Ramsey would 'ave my 'ead on a pike outside o' de school... or jus' melt my mind to mush. Whichever came first." She shook her head. "Look, if you are unhappy wit' de rules, den don' come. What can I say? No one is forcin' you to come on dis trip, as it is a recreation trip."

[iced_cherub]

"Come on, please Rose? I want to get off the grounds for a bit." She patted the seat next to her. "It will be fun!"

She'd ignore the supply and demand bit for now. Maybe ask Professor Drake to explain it better.

[wild_child]

Rose made little "blah blah blah, talkie talkie talkie" hand signs while Alisa talked.

"I got a fake id. It's worked so far."

She put on a scowl, then smiled slightly. "Eh, what the heck."

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"For de love o' ... WHY are you tellin' me dis, Rose?" Alisa looked exasperated at this point. "It's against de law, can get de school in trouble on dis trip, an' if Mrs. Ramsey finds out... I don' wanna t'ink about dat. NO alcohol is served at dis place or even NEAR it. If I catch you wit' any, you are gonna be in some BIG trouble wit' me! Got it?"

This was coming from a former thug. God, it felt so unnatural to say these things. But they needed to be said and rules needed to be followed.

"Please sign de sheet dat you are goin', Rose." She handed over the clipboard for her signature.

[iced_cherub]

"Right best behavior!" Bobbi beamed brightly.

[wild_child]

Rose just rolled her eyes and signed the sheet.

"Yer awfully uptight fer a supposed ex-bad guy," she teased.

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"I'm up tight because I got to prove I ain' a bad guy no more, an' dat I can be trusted. Dat means I gotta follow every rule an' jump t'rough every hoop possible!" She looked at the sheet after Rose signed it. "Tryin' to reform is harder den it looks. Do me a favor, kids, don' EVER become bad guys. It ain' worth de headache or heartbreak..."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi stayed quiet, after all she was a clone created for gods know what reason. "Yeah, already had one winged X-man go that route, I'm not about to follow those footsteps."

"Besides, kinda like the group I'm with, would hate to have them gunning for me."

[wild_child]

"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind with all yer other valuable advice."

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Meanin' you won' listen to a word I say." She virtually face-palmed right there. It was starting to feel like no one listened to her, but she was not going to give up all hope. Not yet, anyway. She moved her hand away from her face and smiled.

"Okay, is everyone comfortable? We should be leavin' soon. I don' know who else will show up. So if dis is it, we'll make de best o' it."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi nodded about being comfortable. "Rose, be nice she's trying, give her a small break okay? If things go south..." She chilled the air around them to let Rose know she had her back.

[wild_child]

Rose gave a slightly crazy smile. "This is me bein' nice."

[iced_cherub]

"Rose... thanks for reminding me again why it's a bad idea to cross a Logan." Though Bobbi did giggle a little at the smile. Right now she didn't feel threatened at all by Rose.

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Girls, let's behave ourselves." She could not help but chuckle at the exchange these two had. Not in a mean way, but she found it adorable. How she longed to have a friendship like that. Maybe one day. "I guess dis is it. Let me drop off de papers, an' we can get goin' ."

Alisa slipped out of the limo to hurry back into the school and drop off the signatures for everyone going on the trip to Rachel's office. She then rushed back to the limo and alerted the driver they were ready to go.

[wild_child]

"Ya sure ya dotted all yer i's and crosses yer t's, Gumbo?" Rose asked.

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Oui, everyt'ing is in order. If it wans', Mrs. Ramsey would be givin' me notice or prevent de limo driver from leavin' de school grounds." She smiled at Rose. "Trust me, I always cross my T's an' dot my I's. If I didn', my business ventures would be in big trouble, kid."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi had gone quiet, she had pulled her small sketchbook out of her small bag and was glancing up at both of them every so often as she scribbled on the paper, it was rough, but a good frame to start with. She'd fix it up with her colored pencils later.

[wild_child]

Rose leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, letting out a breath.

"So ya've gone borin', is what yer sayin'."

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Borin' , me?" She placed a hand on her chest and chuckled. "No... still do some streets fights every now an' den and practice wit' my weapons daily. I wanna stay sharp an' be able to protect others, an' myself."

Her eyes looked over to Bobbi, noticing she was drawing a sketch. That made her smile more, but she said nothing, as she did not want to interrupt her artistic process.

[iced_cherub]

"Street fights?" She looked up from her sketch and looked at Alisa a moment before erasing something in her sketch, changing the details some to fit the new details she had learned.

[wild_child]

"Oh, really?" Rose asked. "Dish."

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

"Okay, I practice wit' custom made stun batons, a sniper riffle, a .38 glock, 8mm pearl handled pistols, an' t'rowin' knives." She smiled a bit proudly at that.

"I don' LIKE usin' guns t'ough. Very impersonal, an' takes out my enemies too quick. I need to be able to draw enough rage from my foes in order to remain somewhat invulnerable to dere attacks. But sometimes, you don' gotta choice in de matter."

Her smiled faded and she looked a bit solemn. "I hate killin' , Rose. I've only done so t'ree times in my life. First time was when I discovered my powers, de other two were durin' a raid dat went bad. If I didn' shoot, I was gonna die. An' I didn' wanna die."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi added a stun baton to her drawing and gave her sketch of Rose more of a semi feral look like Professor Logan's looks.

[wild_child]

Rose nodded ever so slightly. Heart-rate, other vital signs, there was at least some veracity in Alisa's words.

Not enough for her to start trusting the woman, but hey, at least she seemed honest about some things.

"Not that," she said. "I wanna hear about the street fights."
