IC:
Walking back from a disappointing Rivalary game, Jenna and Mlasha Miles were looking back at their lives thus far. Their parents dead from a space battle, their brother out of the country for treatment for his wife and unborn child, their Godparents either under siege or two countries over, and them stuck at Cumberland University of Nano Technology. Mind you it was still one of the best schools around, especially with nanotech so prevlant. Both girls had nanobot implants for years, and now that they were 18 there were a lot more they could get.

Then they reached their Sorority, Episolon Alpha Theta, and went up to their room. Jenna put away her pistoland Mlasha checked their messages. Mike and Kas had just had their first child, a boy. With all the complications from the pregnancy it was a miracle that both the child and Kas had survived, but such was the New Exodus way. Then something caught their eyes. Their father's lightsaber next to their own shone like never before, or at least to them.

"Jenna, can we do something about that?" Mlasha asked.

"What do you mean? Like put it away?" Jenna replied.

"Yeah, seeing that today of all days reminds me of when daddy died. Look, its even glowing......aw remember he told us to activate it when it glowed and he could appear..." Mlasha said with a smile. It had been six months since their parents were murdered by a Sith, maybe their father had found a way to conquer death again. They activated the saber and absolutely nothing happened, not even the blade appeared.

Swearing, Jenna took the saber, her own, and her Jedi robes and threw them into the safe in the closet. Mlasha, equally pissed did the same. Hearing this racket, the Mother came in and told them they needed to relax and have a drink. She also mentioned that the Omegas were having a party and they were invited by name. They politely declined by asking what other parties were out there and the Mother said (with disgust) that the Deltas were having a Toga party but that was it.
~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe we're going to a Toga party. How did I let you talk me into this?" Mlasha asked Jenna. They entered the Delta house, got a drink, saw a fat guy take a hippy's guitar and smash it, and went to the center of the room to talk to some people.

Sleep elluded Elle as her biology professor droned on about some sort of celluar reproduction for plant life in colder climates. Her haed hung lazily from her wrist as she fought to keep her eyes open, the monotne of the professor only adding the difficulty. She felt her eyes grow heavy, and soon she was gone. What felt like a breath later, but in reality was forty five minutes, she felt the energy of the room perk up as the professor dismissd the class. Elle snapped awake, grabbed her bag, and stood. She was only steps from the door when the same monotone voice called out again.

"Uh, Miss Carreras, can I speak to you please?" Elle stopped in her tracks, and sighed, turning to the professor.

"Yes, Dr. Stoker?"

"Michelle," she hated it when people called her Michelle, "this class is not an introductory class. It is a required course for those following the pre med major. You do understand this, correct?"

"Yes sir," she responded, feigning concern.

"I'm not so sure you do. You currently have a D in this course. Its not a failing grade, but you are on the edge. I would hope that in the comming weeks you will start to take your studies in my course more seriously. I'm aware that the 8:00am time on a Friday, and the hour and forty five minute time fram may be difficult, but if you hope to be a doctor one day, then this will be the least of your difficulties. Please, remember that Miss Carreras."

"I will, Dr. Stoker. Thanks."

"No problem, Michelle. If you need anything feel free to stop by my office. I can recomend a number of excellent tutors."

"Thanks," Elle replied a final time, and slipped out of the lecture hall. She made her way out of the building, and towards the parking lot. Cumberland was a large school, and at eight in the morning, she was in no mood to walk from her dorm to the science lecture building on the opposite side of campus. So, with some assistance from her father, she had managed to find a cheap, reliable, fuel efficient, and fun mode of transportation. The day she graduated from highschool, she took the cash she had recieved has a graduation present, and purchased a Honda CBR sports bike. Getting it from Elysium to Crazed Marines had been difficult, but worth it. She wore the jacket almost as much as a point of fashion as it was protective gear, and she kept her custom painted helmet with her where ever she went. She tugged it out from her bag, pulled it on, and jumped the bike, speeding back to the dorms.

She made it back in short order, and slid into her dorm room, empty as her room mate was in class. She stripped off her clothes, a tshirt and some jeans, and tossed her bra aside as well, slipping into her bunk topless. She preferred to sleep this way, it was more natural, and cooler in the warm room. She had managed to work it so Fridays were open, just her eight am and then nothing else, leaving her a full day to relax before the weekend. She had been out for almost an hour when the sound of the door opening jumped her awake.

"Rise and shine sleepy head," her room mate called, plopping down in front of her desk.

"I hate you MIS majors. How can anyone be as happy as ya'll are twenty four seven?"

"Because all day long, all we do is search the internet, and we get a degree for it."

Elle humphed. "I just wanna sleep."

"C'mon hun, you can't sleep all day."

"Watch me."

"Well, fine, but any plans for the weekend?"

"Probably just tool around on the bike, take out some frustration."

"No you aren't. I have word that there is a party tommorow night. A fun kinda party."

"I dun wanna get drunk."

"You don't have to, but shit, I think you should. Maybe get laid too, might make you a bit easier going."

"I don't need to get laid. I have a tough enough time managing classes. I don't need to manage a guy as well."

Allisa, Elle's roommate, was a bit of a girls girl, and also promiscous enough that, as still only a freshmen, she knew enough guys in the biblical sense of the phrase. "Listen. Just come with me to the party, it'll be fun. If you don't like it, we can leave. Is that cool?"

Elle sighed. She rolled over in bed, pulling the sheets up to her face as she glanced over at her roommate, her pleading, puppydog eyed smile begging Elle to join in.

"Fine. I'll do it."

"Sweet! Ok, one more thing."

"Whats that?"

"You have to wear a toga."
-+-
Elle sighed as she and Allisa walked up to the Delta house. She adjusted herself one last time, hoping the sheet wrapped around her would hold in place. Her underware, though somewhat provacative, would protect her modesty should the sheet come undone, but she would prefer that it didn't. "So, if I don't like it, we ditch, right?"

"Right," Allisa said, opening the door to the fraternity house. Within seconds, she found someone she knew, and, Elle thought, most likely slept with, and quickly disapeared into the party.

Elle walked deeper into the house, having never been in a Frat House, and looked for someone to talk to, or something to do.

Jenna and Mlasha were wandering around for a few minutes until Mlasha saw a familiar face. She rushed off and practically yelled "ELLE!" When she met her bio lab partner, everything seemed better because she had someone to talk to.

"Elle, I didn't expect to see you here. I got dragged here because of my sister's boyfriend. I take it your room mate got you here too? Come on, let's talk? How was Stroker's lecture yesterday?" Mlasha finished, emphasis on the crude nickname they had for the hated professor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jenna and her boyfriend had met up and went into the back room for some "alone time". Being a Delta pledge, Chris wasn't allowed to fraternize with women but once a week until his first semester ended. To everybody on the floor it was as if the two had totally up and disappeared.

OOC: Do to circumstances beyond my control, I won't be able to post anything till this upcomming sunday

Elle leaned back against a wall, watching as the early stages of immature drunkeness broke out around her. She swirlled her drink around, taking a sip from the heavy mix. Nintey percent booze, five percent more booze, and five percent some sorta mixxer wasn't her exact choice of a good drink, but taking it in slowly would delay the effects of the distilled liquid and hopefully stave off any idea of a hang over the next morning.

She was slowly starting to contimplate leaving; the music, people, and party leaving much to be desired, when a voice called out her name.

Elle, I didn't expect to see you here. I got dragged here because of my sister's boyfriend. I take it your room mate got you here too? Come on, let's talk? How was Stroker's lecture yesterday?

Elle snapped around to see Mlasha comming towards her.

"Oh, hey, sup? Yeah, Allisha decided she needed to get drunk and laid, and I was somehow pulled into the equation, story of my life, eh? It was ok, standard same ol same ol bullshit about photsynthesis and cellular reproduction and some other stuff before I passed out. I swear, it should be illegal to make that class an eight am affair."

Mlasha handed Elle some bread and a chaser pill.

"Trust me, you'll need it around here. The Deltas can get pretty rowdy, and drinking ensues for everyone. But hey, they know me well enough to let me run the bar every now and then.....oh, might want to pour that one out. Billy the Bruiser mixed it and it looks like he has the eye for you if you know what I mean. Technically he's been banned from the university all together but nobody seems able to enforce it."
~~~~~~~~
In a back room, Jenna and her boyfriend Chris were getting a little sweaty to say the least. Then something snapped in him. Chris was a pothead and everyone knew it, and they also knew Chris went funny sometimes when he smoked, but Jenna didn't know that he had smoked tonight.

"Chris, honey are you OK? What's wrong?" This question was answered by mumbles, groans, and some drool. Jenna touched him, he rolled over and went berserk. Chris' fists started wailing on his girlfriend who quickly covered up and protected herself. The screaming carried into the other room and help was immediately summoned. The normal beat down ensued and an ambulance was summoned for the unconscious Jenna. Mlasha rushed over to her and was more or less told to return to her dorm room and to come back to the hospital tomorrow with some of her sister's effects. Mlasha looked at Elle and said, "I don't feel comfortable, do you mind following me home?"

Elle nodded, dumping the drink discretely behind her back. She managed to secure a beer, and nursed it, making it her only drink for the night. The party went on around her, the same old same old that she had come to expect from the on campus parties. She continued to nurse the beer, chatting with Mlasha, when the screaming started.

The next few moments were a blur for Elle, the ambulance showing up and the party cleaning out. There was nothing like sirens and flashing red and blues to scare away a bunch of drunk underage kids. Eventually, the chaos calmed for a moment, and Mlasha and Elle were ushered away.

I don't feel comfortable, do you mind following me home?

Elle wasn't really the fighting type, nor was she a shooter like many of the campus. However, she also didn't really feel like heading home herself, the night was still young, and she wouldn't ditch on a friend.

"Yeah," she said, following her out of the house. "No problem."

Mlasha and Elle stumbled into her room and Mlasha got out the Whiskey. Elle shot her a look and Mlasha got out two glasses before saying.

"I need a drink, you look like you need one too, and I would not suggest getting out for a while. Billy's been following us for a while and the guard downstairs has a shotgun if he tries to get in. Don't worry about Billy too much though, he's registered in the national database of insane people so he can't get a gun."

Elle looked at the filled glass of whiskey and the clock showing 2:16 Am and Mlasha looked at what she would do.

Elle nodded at Mlasha's warning, glancing out the window. Its always me getting stuck with some psycho ass hole she thought, taking the drink. She wasn't exactly a drinker beyond a few beers or some mixed drinks and coolers, but she accepted the drink, taking small sips of the rough alchohol.

"So, what now?"

"We figure out what the hell to do." Mlasha said very drunkenly, moving closer to Elle. "We could always......" She was then interrupted by some singing

We Wish you a Merry Christmas,
We Wish you a Merry Christmas,
We Wish you a Merry Christmas,
So please don't call the cops,
Please don't call the cops,
They'll send us to jail,
Please don't call the cops,
'cuz we can not post bail.

"Looks like Mallet is carrolling us again this year. Might as well watch the show of twisted carrols....and Billy's leaving because of the hoarde." Elle finished before she could finish her entire statement.

Elle watched as Mlasha moved in close, smelling the scent of booze on her, wondering what exactly her move was. She braced herself for anything as Mlasha moved in, and all but jumped when the caroling started.

Looks like Mallet is carrolling us again this year. Might as well watch the show of twisted carrols....and Billy's leaving because of the hoarde.

"Well thats good," Elle chuckled back, following Mlasha.

Mlasha and Elle went out onto the balcony after throwing on a jacked to shield from the thirty degree weather. They waited through the song "O Little Town of Tuscaloosa" carried over from the University of Alabama (which Cumberland was a late add-on branch) unchanged and then them singing "Hallelujah" ad nauseum then just walking off singing the Merry Christmas thing again. Mlasha then went back inside, stripped naked, and passed out while Elle just sat there wondering what to do.

Elle eyed Mlasha as the girl stripped and passed out, watching her collapse into bed nude. The girl was attractive to say the least, and it got Elle to wondering. However, she pushed all other thoughts aside, and remained out in the cool night air, letting it fill her lungs. Elysium itself was a cooler natios; in most cities the summer never got higher than mid 80s, and even then that was warm.

She watched as a few cars moved down the drive, students both drunk and sober out for late evening, well, early morning walks, the general night life of a large university. She sighed, and made her way back inside, shucking off the jacket, and collapsing into a chair. She remained in her togo, grabbing a blanket off a chair, and pulling it over her. Half of her wanted to head back to her dorm, but the other half said now. That bruiser character seemed to not exactly be the friendly type, and she really wasn't in any condition to take him on. She decided to stay with Mlasha for the night, and gave it no further thought as she driffted off to sleep.

The morning awoke as did the two women. Mlasha got up, wrapped herself in a towel and took some ibuprofen for her hangover and showered. She then got back and dressed before talking to Elle.

"Mind giving me a hand with some stuff. I need to be at the hospital before she wakes up and get her a fresh set of clothes." Mlasha grabbed some items before throwing a chain bead necklace around her neck, "Please tell me I had this on last night before I went to sleep....." She looked back at Elle who said she didn't know, "No matter, by the way, we need to get you partial citizenship before the week's out and teach you to shoot. I'll explain on the way to the hospital if you want to come with me." Elle looked generally stunned at how quickly Mlasha got ready and in the car but knew guys who it took longer.

Elle shook her head at the chain question. "I didn't see it last night," she responded, standing up and stretching out from the chair she had slept in. She watched as Mlasha got ready in a quick fashion, putting her self together and grabbing her sister's stuff.

No matter, by the way, we need to get you partial citizenship before the week's out and teach you to shoot. I'll explain on the way to the hospital if you want to come with me.

"Wait, shoot? What? I mean?"

It seemed though that Mlasha had already made up her mind. "Ok, but I need to get back to my dorm." She looked down at herself, still wearing the toga. "I kinda need to change before we go anywhere."

Mlasha hooked on her holster and inserted a .357 revolver. She agreed to taking Elle back to her dorm first and then drive to the hospital. After Elle dressed, the entered the car and Mlasha spoke.

"Billy's following us again. Don't turn around and tip him off we know where he is. The laws in CM are a little different than in most countries. You cannot buy a gun unless you are a Citizen, but someone may give you a gun and you legally carry it if you're a partial citizen. If you signed the partial Citizen papers, I'll give you a pocket pistol and teach you how to shoot if Billy keeps following you. His dad's the police chief so we can't go to them right now. Another benefit is partial Citizens get in-sate tuition so you'll pay half as much for going here next semester and there's a guaranteed job for you paying 65k per year after you leave here."

By the time Mlasha finished speaking they had reached the hospital and entered. Pointed upstairs, the two quickly found Jenna with only bruises on her face, naked and wanting her clothes.

Elle changed quickly, her room mate was still out even at this point in the day, so she didn't have to waste any time with conversation. She slipped out of the toga, and pulled on a snug fitting pair of jeans, and a long sleaved white tshirt. Over that came a pink ultra short sleave shirt with a fadded Triumph logo, and she pulled on her riding jacket over that to wear as a regular jacket.

A quick spalsh of water and light highlights of makeup, and she was back in the car with Mlasha, ready to go.

The ride was calm till Mlasha started watching the rearview mirror closely.

Billy's following us again. Don't turn around and tip him off we know where he is. The laws in CM are a little different than in most countries. You cannot buy a gun unless you are a Citizen, but someone may give you a gun and you legally carry it if you're a partial citizen.

Another benefit is partial Citizens get in-sate tuition so you'll pay half as much for going here next semester and there's a guaranteed job for you paying 65k per year after you leave here.

"Well," she started, pushing her self back into her seat, "I signed something when I got here, it was all a big rush getting signed in an everything, I might have." There was an air of concern in her voice, she wasn't used to being stalked like this. However, she followed Mlasha's advice, and didn't turn.

It was a relief when they finally arrived at the Hospital, knowing that the staff would probably keep this nutjob off their back. She followed Mlasha to find Jenna, and waited to figuerout what would happen from there.

Mlasha and Jenna rushed out of the hospital with Elle in tow. They all stashed in Mlasha's Accord and drove back to Cumberland. The three went back to the sorority house where Mlasha opened a lock box and pulled out a small bag and some papers.

"This is the partial Citizen form. If you've filled this out then your tuition is about half of the book cost they say it is. We then just need you to fill out this form then we'll cosign and the pistol's yours to use. We'll go to the range tomorrow and show you how to shoot. By then the paper work will have cleared.....So, what do we do until then?"

Elle nodded, grabbed a pen, and went to work. It only took a few short minutes, and she had it done. It was simple enough, address, few signatures, the like. When she was done, she quickly looked it over, and handed it back to Mlasha.

This is the partial Citizen form. If you've filled this out then your tuition is about half of the book cost they say it is. We then just need you to fill out this form then we'll cosign and the pistol's yours to use. We'll go to the range tomorrow and show you how to shoot. By then the paper work will have cleared.....So, what do we do until then?

"Beats me," Elle shrugged, sitting in an empty chair. "I'm up for anything, though I could use a shower if nothing else."

Mlasha showed Elle the shower and handed her a towel. She came back and her siser shot her a glance. Jenna whispered something to Mlasha and Mlasha nodded and said "In due time..."

A few minutes later, Mlasha looked and something wasn't right. She got the pistol bag and some papers. She knocked on the shower room door and got the enter. She saw before her was a very attractive Elle in a towel. Mlasha started, "We missed a form. Also the mother has agreed to make you a member if you want it. We'll get you a key so you can come and go as you please." Mlasha's eyes told more than she did, though.

Elle savored the shower, letting the steamy water wash over her, cleaning away any sort of grime and residue from the past 24 hours. She last showered near three hours before the party, she had started to feel overly nasty with no shower. It was the one thing that really made her a "girly girl."

She was out of the shower, the towel wrapper over her while she waited to dry and redress. She was about to unwrap when the door opened, and she instinctively covered herself.

We missed a form. Also the mother has agreed to make you a member if you want it. We'll get you a key so you can come and go as you please.

Elle was caught suprised, half naked, still wet from the shower, and generaly suprised. "Uh, yeah we can do that," she said, watching as Mlasha closed the door and walked away. She quickly finished drying, and dressed in the same clothes, tossing the bike jacket over her shoulder. "So, whats the deal?" she asked, grabbing the missed form.

Mlasha handed a form to Elle that stated on the top "Citizen Complaint Form".


"We're going to drop that off with some people we know in the Federal system. It'll completely bypass Billy's dad and we'll only have to worry about how to train you to shoot." Mlasha then looked at Elle. It had been a while since she found a friend she could be close with and that ended horribly. She hoped this wouldn't be so bad. Then the mother showed up. She was a professor in her mid-thirties, not bad looking but rather just a little snobbish to those who don't know her. She smiled and looked at Elle and said "Welcome to Epsilon Alpha. Anything I can do help?"

bump for christmas. anyone going to post?

"Thanks," Elle replied, taking the form. She had started filling it out when the house mother had come in, and thanked her offer. "Well, tahnks for letting me in on such short notice, I'm fine for now though."

OOC: Sorry, real world, which sucks, gets in the way of posting sometimes.

Shadows in Crazed Marines did what shadows everywhere else did--mischief. And in this case it was lethal mischief. Chris had just gotten out of jail as his bail had set in and there was a shadow following in the dark. As soon as he entered his apartment, his shadow appeared with a gun.

"What the hell are you doing here? I told you you're not allowed in here until your case clears up!" Chris started to shout, then he saw the cheap, throw-away revolver. He then knew the gig was *BANG*

The revolver fired, the bullet entering the open mouth and exploding the brain stem behind the tongue. He was dead before the bullet even left the skin. The shadow then placed th revolver in Chris' hand, a penny on each eye, and a card reading "The Guardians" on his eyebrows. The police would disregard the last two pieces of evidence and rule it as a suicide because The Guardians card made this appear as a quiet, official hit. The news would be informed shortly as would the family and Jenna in due time.

OOC: Hey...Its CM's cousin. After he got the ban he said I could take over his RPs. I know its been 3 months or so but I want to get this back up.

OOC: ready to resume in a different thread

Just in case you didn't get the heads up (not sure), Elle (a.k.a. rampant elysium) wont be on anymore, at least not for a good long time.

yeah. I got that. I got a 3 day ban that wouldn't lift for 3 months so I decided to take this thread a different way (ie, zombies) for a few weeks after the party
