(I feel like something bad should happen to Mav just to even things out. XD)
Tori glance up at him when his arm wrapped around her. Her first instict was to just curl up into him and stay there until the negative feelings went away. But if she did that, they might never finish the nest. I guess we start with the base and work up, she signed. Do we want to make it box shaped, or try to make it a little more rounder?
~*
Her statement was partly a joke. Phallon would have no problems hitting anyone if her limits of patience were pushed. She had no problems threatening people, and luckily her threats were heard. So far, no one had been injured during her time in America, even if there were a couple of people she wanted to injure. The girl laughed at his statement. "don't worry, I only punch those who deserve to be punched. For example, Richard," she assured. He was probably the number one person who she wanted to punch but haven't had the chance to. "You don't deserve to be punched, so you're safe."

OOC: Oh yes that needs to happen! Do you have any suggestions?
IC: Honestly Maverick would have been fine if she had just curled up into him. He loved her and he did feel bad for her. He would never forget that day, it was by far the worst of his life let alone Tori's. He got nightmares of it sometimes and he could remember it like it was yesterday. Swallowing, he tilted his head. "I think we could make it L shaped. We can put in the nest and the offshoot can be for its food and water," he suggested, glancing sideways at her.
*_-----_*
Rico smiled, bringing his hand to the left side of his chest and sighing jokingly. "O-oh good, thank goodness," he said with a chuckle. He was glad to have made a friend, he never even considered that as a possibility when he had come here. He'd been here for what, three months now and she was his first friend.

Daniel grinned again, "of course. But if you don't like it I can try and rein back on them. Emphasis on try of course." He walked with her toward the water.
---
Amelia nodded, "yeah, I'm sure. I would do anything to help others. I like doing it. I don't mind giving up time, but as I said, I probably wouldn't be able to do it every day since I do have to paint to keep money coming in. My mom can do some things but she can't keep it all up."

Hope's heart skipped a beat as Peter kissed her head, but she didn't dwell on it. "I do too." She replied. It wasn't so much now, but when Hope was younger, she would always think about ways that things could have been different.

(My go to tragedy is always car accident, but I don't know how that would play out. From our plot so far, it seems like these two are determined to walk everywhere, so maybe Mav could be crossing the street and get hit? What kind of pain would you like to induce to your character? XD)
She hadn't thought of that. Tori smiled and nodded at the idea. That sounds like a good plan. How big should it be? He'll need plenty of room when he's bigger, she signed. She had never really seen a grown squirrel up close, so she wasn't sure just how big of a bed they were going to need.
~*
Phallon laughed at his attempt of a joke. She could tell he was still nervous, which she couldn't blame him. It took her weeks before she felt comfortable in her new school. Rico seemed like a nice enough character, so she had no doubt he would fit in around here. Better than she did probably. Once people got over his eyes, they might just make him a friend.
"Nah, you're fine. You keep things interesting," Sophia assured him. When they reached the water's edge, the girl paused for a moment to stare out at the pond. It wasn't as impressive as the water fall and river that Daniel had showed her on their hiking trip, but was still peaceful. Well, as peaceful as it could get while in the city's park.
~*
Charles nodded several times. "Of course, I wouldn't ask you to do it everyday. I'll pay the helpers as well, including you. As well as give them the first pick of the food if they want it. They should be rewarded for taking the time to help."
Peter sat there with her as silence settled around them. There was nothing more that could be said. This wasn't the kind of distraction the boy had expected when he asked of it from Hope, but it had done its job. His headache was nothing but a dull ache in the back of his mind, forgotten in the moment. After a few minutes, he gently rubbed her arm. "If it'll help, you can dye my hair whatever color you want," he muttered, hoping to bring a laugh from the girl.

OOC: Ooh I like that idea! I want to inflict a lot of pain to Mav, some dear death situation.XD I was talking with my friend and he suggested something to do with a fire or something? IDK which one so you think works better. Car accident or fire?
IC: Maverick tilted his head as he thought for a moment. In a few seconds he shrugged. "I'm not sure, perhaps six inches long, four or five wide and the little offshoot can be three long and five wide?" He suggested. He would have used his hands to elaborate and show what he thought, but he didn't want to take his hand from her shoulder so he didn't.
*_-----_*
If she had said that, there's be no doubt that he would deny the possibility of having anymore friends then her. Then again he made friends with her, but he shook off the thought. He had to be negative, otherwise he could get hope. He wasn't allowed that. But...what the Red queen didn't know wouldn't hurt her right? Shaking his head slightly to clear the thoughts, he looked around. "Anyway, shall we continue?

"Well thank you, I'm sure hope I keep things interesting," Daniel answered and stood next to her at the water's edge looking over it. It was peaceful, for the city. He didn't mind coming here, he actually liked it here.
---
Amelia shook her head, "no, I don't need to be paid for it." She started eating as soon as their arrived. (I couldn't remember if it had already or not.) "I like to help or volunteer. I don't need to be paid for it," she repeated. It wasn't a job she was applying for, she just really wanted to help everyone.

(Ooooooh! Fire! Fire is good! That will be ten times worse than a car accident because what if he gets trapped? Or badly burned? That way, he has to deal with the long term pain and scars, and just have a bad time. XD I'm horrble for enjoying the thought, but I don't care.)
Sounded reasonable to her. With a nod, Tori began to lay out and establish the base of the structure. She wasn't going to glue anything together yet until they were sure this was the design choice they wanted.
~*
"Yeah," Phallon said. Leading the way, she navigated through the outdoor courtyard. There wasn't too much to see after that. All that was left on this side of the building was a grassy area that stretched out until meeting a fend that marked the end of the school's property. Sometimes the students would get together and play games there, and other times the school used the extra space for festivals and sporting events. (Yes! I like the idea of burns. Don't worry I absolutely love torturing my characters, Mav is my worst. I should tell you about Mav from Hybrids, poor kid. Aanyway getting back on track, I like the idea of him getting trapped and burnt. It'll terrify him and Tori. Where would he get burnt though? I'm not sure about like burning his whole body, but somewhere would be cool!) Maverick watched happily, a large smile plastered on his face. He didn't really do much apart from pass her a paddle pop stick every now and again, but she didn't seem to mind so he didn't either. This was actually pretty...well relaxing. He hoped they would bust stay like this. No more problems and...near death experiences... *_-----_* Rico smiled as he looked around. This place was charming. It wasn't as grand and amazing and...wonderful as Wonderland is but it was still nice. It wasn't dry at least. "I-it's nice. There doesn't seem to be very many people out here," he noted. There were people there. Groups, single people, but because the area was so open the people were sparse.

Hope pulled away from his check enough to look up at him and roll her eyes. "You don't have to dye it at all if you don't want to."

(Haha, I know what you mean. I love breaking down a character as much as I can just to see how and if they can get through it. XD I agree, he shouldn't be burned all over his body. We can either have the burns on his hands or face, somewhere everyone can see it, or be burned on his back, arms, or legs, somewhere they he can hide it and try not to reveal it to the world.)
Tori worked on the bed for another ten minutes before she stopped. The structure was halfway completed, and she wanted to get his opinion on it before anything else was added. What do you think? she signed. If he didn't like it, then they could easily change it. If he liked it, then she could go back and glue down everything so far and continue as she was doing.
~*
"A lot of people stay inside unless it's nice out," Phallon explained. "In good weather, nearly everyone's out here in their free time. It's fun when everyone breaks off into two groups and start playing some kind of game. Maybe you'll get to experience one before it gets too cold."
"But I want to," Peter assured. "Everyone wants me to find myself again, and what better way to do that than trying different things. It's just hair. The color will fade, and the hair will grow back. It's not like a tattoo that I can't remove."

OOC: Haha we are such monsters to our characters... I love it!XD Hmm yeah I think we could get the best of both worlds, burn his whole arm from the elbow down?It could get trapped under something, and in the process of getting it out he could probably break his arm as well. would that work?)
IC: Maverick was actually looking at Tori for the moment, so when she asked what he thought of the nest he looked down at his, smiling and nodding in approval. "I think it looks just perfect Tori. You're pretty good at this," he remarked, chuckling. "I dare say you're better then me," he then added happily.
*_-----_*
Rico, again, nodded as she explained. "O-oh cool, that must be a s-sight to see. I hope you're right. I'd love to see that soon." Yes, see it. As in see and not actually join in. well he supposed if it did happen soon, and Phallon wanted to be a part of it with him. Maybe he might be able to give it a shot. At least once.

(That would work beautifully. Poor Mav. That could also be the incident that makes Tori try to speak with him. Add a little good in to balance out the bad, lol.)
You haven't even tried, Tori pointed out, but her shoulders shook with laughter. She didn't care that Mav didn't help place the sticks together. It wasn't really a hard ob to do. But he couldn't say she was better at making the nest than he was if he hadn't even tried.
~*
Phallon nodded. "Just wait. Most of the guys will be itching for football season to start, so they'll be out and about trying to get rid of their extra energy. I say you may get to see them at play within the next week or so," she assured.

OOC: Ooh yeah good idea! Aww that will be so adorable to see. How should he get burned? Maybe we could say her birthday's coking up and he was getting a present. And what should cause the fire?
IC: Maverick made a face as though he had been caught stealing and hurriedly got three sticks, putting two down and putting the third across the bottom to make an L shape. He then looked at Tori, chuckling as he spoke. "See? Way better then mine is," he said happily. He did love hers though honestly. It was perfect.
*_-----_*
Rico raised his eyebrows. What is Football? Of course it's a sport, but he didn't know how it works. He supposed he would find out when it started queen he could see it. It's a big sport he guessed, it sounded popular. "A-a week? That-that is very soon," he said, a little surprised.

Where would he go that would have the risk of catching on fire? I like the idea of him being at the wrong place at the wrong time, but where would it be difficult for him to evacuate from? Or should his house be the one to catch on fire? He could be hanging out in his room when the fire breaks out in the kitchen. By the time he smells the smoke and goes to see about it, it could be out of control. But before he leaves, he rushes into the kitchen to either save Squiggles (if they agree that Mav should keep the squirrel at his house) or Tori's gift that he had left in the kitchen, and that's how he gets burned. Really, it's up to you.)
Tori laughed softly at his poor attempt to prove himself right. If you put more effort into it, I'm sure it would look better, she said, nudging him gently. She had noticed that her friend, boyfriend as she should be calling him, was becoming increasingly more witty. Did it have something to do with their new relationship status, or was he trying to keep her in a cheerful mood. Whatever the reason, she liked seeing this side of him.
~*
"The jocks are impatient," Phallon informed. "They love to take any chance they can to compete between themselves and others who aren't as good as they are. They take any chance they can to stretch their legs and show off."

(Ooh I love that idea. If he's in his own house, Tori might be able to smell the smoke from next door! Plus without a home he'll need to either find another place, which will separate them, or he could stay at her place! I think it'll be her present that would be there, cause I want him to get trapped inside and only escape when the firefighters get there. Ooh I love this plot!) Maverick bobbed his head around as she nudged him, overreacting like he was a bobble head. "Well I'm sure your right, but why would I need to improve it when we've got this masterpiece?" He said, gesturing to hers with his hand swirling around dramatically. Honestly Mav hadn't even notice his change of personality. Perhaps he was just more comfortable around Tori? Of course he was more then comfortable before, but now they were actually together properly maybe that made a difference. *_-----_* Rico chuckled. Of course, there was always those people who just want to show off all the time when they can. Even in wonderland they were there. Usually the bards, knights and other entertainers. "Do you usually play when that happens or do you just watch?" He asked, tilting his head.

Hope moved the rest of the way out of his arms. She crossed her legs and sat directly in fron of him. "Only if it's what you really want." She looked right into his eyes in a 'you really dont have to do this if you dont want to' way. She didn't want him to feel like he had to do something crazy to find himself.

(Nothing much, Tom.)
(Haha, then we have a plan! I can't wait to see how this turns out.)
you'll at least need to know how to repair it if he ever chews through it, Tori signed, knowing that there was no point argue with him. Can you pass me the clue?
~*
"Depends on the game they decide to play," Phallon said. "If it's football, then I opt out. There's no way I'm getting tangled up in that. But if they play anything else, I may join in."
Peter just grinned at her. "Hope, I trust that you're not going to pick something that will look horrible," he said. "And it's not like it's going to be permanent. How will I know that I don't like it unless I give it a shot? It's just hair dye. People will get over it."

She waited a moment longer before nodding. "Okay, it's a deal then." She bent over to stick the pictures back into the old backpack. "Did your headache go away?" Hope asked, hoping that her story had been worth it.

OOC: Awesome! When should we do this?
IC: Maverick tilted his head, nodding. "Hmm, well I guess you're right there," he said, chuckling. As she continued he smiled and reached over into the box, getting out the glue for her. Making robotic sounds, he passed the glue to her in a wide circle, keeping his arm straight.
*_-----_*
Rico guessed he would just do whatever Phallon did. If she didn't want to join in on this football he guessed it might be a hard, or painful game. "Well, hopefully it will be fun if we join in with one of the games."

(Yeah, but I just stated that I still have nothing to for Rixon to do.)
"It's not completely gone, but I believe the pain medicine's kicking in," Peter told her. "Thank you, for sharing this with me."
(Maybe a little while after they have time with the squirrel. We can always time skip a month or so to whenever Tori's birthday is.)
Smiling, Tori took the glue from him and thanked him before getting back to work. In a matter of half an hour, She completed the structure. It wasn't the best, but it was good for the materials they had to work with. Done, the girl signed, stretching her arms and back after staying in one spot for so long.
~*
"I'm sure it will," Phallon said. "And if it isn't, Then you don't have to take part. There's no rule saying that everyone has to join in."

OOC: Hmm. What do you think? Should we skip after this scene/day or not?
IC: Maverick mostly just watched as she worked on the nest, fiddling with his own nest slowly, but not putting any effort into it. Smiling, he looked at her creation when she was done. He very carefully picked up the nest, observing it happily and shaking his head in awe. Turning his head, he looked her in the eyes. "Tori, this is...perfect!" He said excitedly.
*_-----_*
Rico nodded with a shrug. "Yeah I guess that's true." Suddenly the bell rang and Rico jumped, his head whipping around to look to see where it came from, just to realise that it was just the bell. It made him blush a little bit in embarrassment. "I uh, I guess it's back to class then," he said, trying to play it off.

(Yeah, I think we can skip after they get through here.)
So you keep saying, Tori signed, but she did feel a little proud of herself for making it as well as she did. You can decorate it. I'm going to get a snack. Want anything? She wasn't sure how much time had passed since she began working, but she was ready to stretch her legs for a moment.
~*
The bell didn't bother Phallon as it did Rico, mainly because she had been expecting it. She had noticed when he startled at the sound of the bell, yet she didn't bring any attention to it. "Yeah, come on. We don't want to be late. What class did you have next?" (Sounds perfect! I'm looking forward to this now.XD) Maverick didn't object to that. He guessed it was about right. She built it, and he would decorate it. He let his arm fall off her back, and he watched as she got up to stretch. "Maybe a little bowl of almonds please. If we have them," he said, smiling. Looking back at the nest, he got out a pencil from the box and started doing a rough outline of what he was doing. He was going to do Squiggles' name on the side in bubble writing, then his and Tori's name in normal writing sideways at each end of Squiggles' name. As well as some other stuff of course. *_-----_* Seeing as she didn't show any attention to him jumping, he guessed she didn't see it, and it made him honestly feel a lot less embarrassed. At her question he closed his eyes, trying to remember. "Uh, Chemistry I think?" He said. He was a little surprised he hadn't actually been in any of the classes she was in yet.

"Why thank you. I will." Daniel grinned and looked back over the water again. He liked standing here next to her. It kind of felt like it almost filled the hole where his brother had been. Of course nothing could replace him, but this was the next best.
---
Amelia sighed, giving up knowing she wasn't going to win this fight. "Fine, I guess you can do that." She knew her mother would also like that. She just liked doing things herself. She liked how she could pay for herself, it made her proud knowing she could provide for both her and her mother. She was volunteering for this. She wasn't expecting anything in return.
