[CT] It's Always When You Have to Pee

[Demi Smith]

Demi smirked as she adjusted her position. She'd burrowed herself down into yet another hole, ready to jump out at a student the moment she saw another worth jumping toward. Demi had already caught something like four or five of the various students this way. for all she knew, at least one was still trapped in one of her holes. Actually, now that Demi stopped to think about it, she should probably check on the hole.

She fidgeted for a moment, looking up at the sky. She really should go look, and, well, she also kinda, sorta, had to pee. She groaned in frustration. This had been a really good spot, just a little off the trail but still far enough that she wasn't going to be easily caught. So far she'd managed to avoid the main three, but she thought she'd seen someone bigger in the woods, and she didn't believe the crap about Bigfoot.

Okay, so Demi just had to run to the latrine hole she'd dug a little ways back into the forest, do her business, check the hole, and come back. That shouldn't take too long. Demi looked about for a moment, nodded, then sprinted that way. She got most of the way toward her latrine when she caught sight of someone. She pulled to a stop, literally kicking up a clod of dirt as she did. Demi moved without thinking, performing a kick over her head, sending the giant wad of dirt flying toward the person. As soon as she was sure it would hit (though she supposed the girl could dodge; she'd proved pretty agile and stuff), Demi started yelling:

"What are you doing here? You weren't on the stupid bus!" Demi knew: she'd checked, since she definitely didn't want her stalker here to interrupt her fun hunting.

Ugh, and she still had to pee too. This sucked.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana had not signed up for the camping trip; it made her keeping an eye on her targets easier that way. Since a few of them did in fact know that Roxana was keeping an eye on them, she didn't want them to think she would make the trip to check on them out here on their camping trip. She would of course because she had a job to do and a few of her targets had gone camping, which half surprised her. The trip was a pretty short one and with her connections she stayed off the radar. Plus she was eighteen years old was technically allowed to leave the campus, they just recommended and wanted those eighteen and older to stay on campus for the summer unless with staff. She had a job to do so a little rule breaking had to be done in order to make sure that all of her target that had gone camping was safe. She already checked on Erika, Ellen, and even Lux; who was not a target but Roxana checked in on her anyways. She just had a few more people to check on and then she would get out of there as soon as she could or at least a distance away so she would not be caught by any of the staff.

She was dressed to hide in this environment, everything from head to toe was helping her stick to that shadows, tree line, and even up in the trees while she checked on who she needed to check on. She was just making her way carefully and slowly down out of a tree after having missed being spotted by some huge man that she almost didn't even see there. It had to be someone with high level training and experience in what they were doing. If she had gotten a good look at them she probably would have figured out who it was, but even with how big they were they were there one second and gone the next. This was why she waited for a while before she made her way out of the tree, her hood getting snagged and torn on a branch on the way down. Just great, now her white hair would be there to stand out. She could still be pretty stealthy even with the bright sight in the woods, but she knew she needed to get done with what she was here for and get hidden again.

The one she needed to find was Demi, The Inherited girl who she figured she was going to have a hard time finding. She must feel at home in these woods. Probably built herself some earth fortress. Roxana thought to herself as she got distracted by a very beautiful bird flying overhead. Thunk! the giant dirt wad made the sound as it hit Roxana on her back, just below her neck and if she had been shorter or the wad thrown just a little height it probably would have hit her in the head. As soon as the hit made contact Roxana was already ducking and diving for cover behind a tree, crystal daggers already between her fingers, and ready to be used. She had to blink for a moment to take herself out of kill mode when she heard the yelling. "Demi." Roxana said under her breath with a hit of agitation that Demi was yelling. Roxana quickly surging forward, lunging at Demi to try and grab a hold of Demi so she could cover the younger girl's mouth. "Shh, are you trying to get us both into trouble?" Roxana asked and yes she was banking on Demi doing something that she should not have been that could get her in trouble.

[Demi Smith]

Yep, definitely the right girl. Her reflexes looked as good as ever, moving and whirling into kill mode almost immediately. Demi fell into a smirk as she realized she'd been right. The earth-kinetic had never looked filthier, with all the matter of the forest clinging to her. The whole place was a giant sandbox for her to play in, though, technically, she could kick major butt in a real sandbox too.

"What did I say about touching?" she hissed, squirming back and sliding. She glared at Roxana, already moving her hands into a fighting position. She could control even the ground Roxana stood on, if it came to it. See the other girl be all strong and mighty when she was standing on stuff Demi could control. "And that's not saying why you're here. Are you spying on me? Again?"

Dust and dirt started gathering around Demi, moving in accordance with her will. She flicked her eyes for a bit, seeing a few rocks here and there. If need be, she'd use those too, really clobber the idiot. See her be all high and mighty when Demi hit her in in her dumb face with a rock.

[Roxana Strix]

Why did she have to run in; well get hit by a wad of dirt, to Demi out of all the people she could run into? Sure she figured it was better to run into one of her targets then it would have been a staff member. This target however was the less corporative type that Roxana had gotten into a fight with pretty much on their first meeting. Sure the fight was kind of Roxana's fault and since then she had been keeping tabs on Demi from a distance. She was planning on doing the same thing now but the younger girl had spotted her and made her move. Roxana was less bothered by Demi’s attack and more so the yelling which could end up attracting unwanted attention and make things even more complicated. The fact that were in the woods, the ground literally Demi's ammunition just told Roxana that this was not going to be easy if this broke out into a fight.

Demi looking already a part of the environment and if she stayed still and silent she probably would go invisible in a way. Demi's words came out as a hiss as she moved away from Roxana, hands going into fighting position. "Right sorry, no touching. Just keep it down, please?" Roxana asked, going with the whole being nice route to see if that would get Demi to at least settle her volume level to something more close to a whisper. Roxana did keep herself ready, changing how she was standing but kept her hands down. Yes, left her basically wide open, but at least she could move to invade if need be but she was not actively trying to stir up a fight. Probably will come to that, she has too much spunk. Roxana thought to herself and could not help but to smile a little bit at the whole 'are you spying on me' question. Well she was not actually actively spying on Demi, but she had planned on doing just that, yes.

"I was just going on a walk. If I had been spying on you, then you would not have known I was even around." Roxana pointed out, half lying and half telling the truth as she looked at the younger girl. Watching her closely and reading her body language to be ready for what Demi might end up trying to do. "Are you having fun on your camping trip?" Roxana asked, since if Demi was going to be one of the targets she was physically involved with, then she was going to have to ask how she was doing and check in on her. It was also sort of a habit at this point to ask how someone was feeling or doing.

[Demi Smith]

Rox released Demi and she rolled her shoulders as she moved away, moving the dirt and dust around with her. Her eyes remained locked on the older girl all the while. Why was Rox so insistent about the whole keeping quiet thing? Was she not supposed to be here? Well, she hadn't been on the bus, so maybe she was stalking someone? Demi?

Not according to Rox. Demi snorted as Rox claimed that she wouldn't have noticed. "Caught you last time," she said, practically swelling, certainly smirking. She relaxed slightly as her confidence grew. Yeah, she could totally take this girl if it came to it. With all this dirt and dust and even some loose rocks around? Yeah, Demi would total the girl.

Who was even asking stupid questions now. Demi rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and smiled, looking more like a wild, proud animal than ever. "Are you kidding? It's awesome here. I've been living in the woods for, like, the last few days now, and it's totally cool. I go around and ambush the other idiots and junk, especially the older students, and I've totally been beating the crap out of them. I think there's even one that's still in one of my holes."

Yes, "holes" as in several. Demi had fashioned the pits with her ability, making sure to take breaks in between. Wasn't that hard if you knew what you were doing, and Demi certainly did. "What about you? Having fun wandering around?" Demi asked. She tried to remain confident and all, but the urge to urinate roared back yet again, making her squirm just a little.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana would have preferred to keep a hold on demi so she would have more control over the younger girl if need be. Problem was she didn't want to deal with demi losing it and attracting too much attention. Plus if she could avoid any more dirt being thrown at her, that would be great. She still recalled how she had to wash her hair twice in order to get it all clean. Thankfully those extra washes didn't mess up how soft Roxana's hair was or else she would have been really mad at Demi. Roxana was not really supposed to be here since she didn't sign up and since she basically snuck here she would get in some form of trouble. Trouble that was more so with the questions that she knew she would be asked and didn't really want to have to deal with that whole song and dance. Being dishonest, having to use outside help were not appealing to her at all and it certainly would not be for those who were paying her and that she worked for.

"I wanted you to. I made no effort to hide myself." Roxana admitted, not wanting to crush Demi's self-pride there on that, but she didn't want the younger girl to think that she was completely fool proof. She would not tell Demi that there had been several times when she would be spying in on the other girl without having been detected. The moments were brief of course, but the fact still remained that Roxana could go undetected if she put forth her effort into it. She did feel that as Demi did get older and better at well the things she had been taught, then it would become a little more difficult. Demi for sure was at an advantage with all the earth around them, but Roxana was not too worried. She could still hold her own against the younger girl if need be. Mainly planning on giving it her all to cover Demi’s body in crystals so the girl would not be able to move for a few moments that Roxana would use to get away.

That was just the worst case and only one of the plans Roxana had in mind if she needed to use them. At least she got an honest answer from Demi, compared to what she normally got from a certain target in particular. Roxana smiled a little at hearing basically how much fun demi was having, even if her fun was sort of sucked for those who were on the receiving end. Certainly demi would get herself in some trouble if she was not careful with her whole attacks. "Just don't seriously hurt anyone and get anyone out of the holes they are stuck in. You don't want to get into too much trouble right? Not sure how The Inherited would feel if one of theirs was always in trouble and having to deal with adults who did not see the world the way they did." Roxana said, using her words carefully, or more so purposely. She wanted to see what reaction Demi would have to that and since Demi was young and prideful she figured Demi might even accidently give her some information.

The question was asked back, making Roxana's eyebrows raise for a moment, but only for a moment. "I would not say that I was having fun, but nor would I say that I was having a bad time. Well, minus the whole being hit by a wad of dirt. That was not fun." Roxana answered back and that was the best way she could answer it. She had been in work mode; the thought of fun didn't really cross her mind. She was just...doing her job.

[Demi Smith]

Demi snorted and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right, whatever you say," she replied, obviously not believing Rox's "I wanted to be found" for a moment. That's what everyone said after they'd been found, after all. Rox proved that as much as anyone else had. Demi looked away for a moment, shifting and pressing her legs together. How could she hurry this conversation along to get to the whole peeing thing?

"Ugh, seriously? It's just a bunch of holes and junk," said Demi, looking back to Rox, "and my people aren't going to care what you say about me," though she said this with perhaps a little too much emotion. Demi could easily see the various adults among her people talking amongst themselves about the girl they'd sent and how she was causing problems. Demi didn't think they'd disown her or anything like that, but she could very well see Ceres being sent here to look after her...

Which actually wouldn't be so bad, come to think of it.

So Demi grinned as she realized that. Oh, she heard the bit about Rox enjoying herself. Who cared? "So you think that if they took more notice of me," said Demi, looking up at Roxana, her smile widening, "they'd probably send one of my own people here, right? I mean, obviously if you guys couldn't control me or something, they'd have to contact my family first, and the Inherited are all my family. So they'd, like, send Ceres out here and junk," Demi grinned, nodding. She started dancing in place now, and it wasn't just because of the whole urge to urinate business she still had going on.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana just gave a small smile at Demi's dismissal of Roxana having allowed herself to be spotted the first time. She knew better than wasting her time to change someone with Demi's personality mind on such a thing. She would let the younger think how she liked and would just know the truth herself. Roxana was watching demi closely as always so could see her moving around, staring for a moment as her brain tried to work out why Demi was moving around so much and in such a way. Sure she figured Demi just didn't like to keep still, but when she was dealing with Roxana she figured Demi would be holding her ground a little more. All that moving made her stance weak and if Roxana so desired it would be easier to get the girl to the ground if she lunged to pin her. "Not everyone can control the ground like you can. They might not be able to get out." Roxana pointed out since she knew some peoples abilities would not help them out if they did find themselves between a rock and a hard place or in this case a hole created by a little girl who loved her some dirt.

Roxana listened closely as Demi explained that her people would not really care what Roxana would say about her. There was emotion there and Roxana was watching Demi’s face, seeing that demi actually seemed to be not upset and possibly pleased about her people finding out. So obviously the children don't view it as any mistreatment and she probably misses them. Roxana thought to herself observing and thinking more on it, raising an eyebrow at Demi's next question that just confirmed her suspicions all the more. Her smile was getting wider which actually did look good on Demi; she should smile some more. "I don't think so. Your people are...interesting and I don't think they would like to come here. Plus the school will be able to handle you, if they don't have someone around who can they will find someone or put you on some kind of lockdown. That’s what I hear." Roxana said, not fully sure on the last part since she was a transfer student but she did figure the school had ways of controlling out of control students.

"If you are too bad they might take away your power." Roxana said again choosing her words carefully to see how demi would react. She was not outright lying, there were people who could 'take' Demi's power away even if it was more so of a temporary thing since there was currently no way to fully get rid of a mutants power. Hopefully there would never be. There was a name there that Roxana noted down in her head and went ahead to ask. "Ceres your caretaker?" Roxana asked, blinking at seeing Demi start to dance in place. She either was really happy or had to-. "Do you have to pee?" Roxana went ahead and asked, since Demi was young, maybe she didn't want to just go off to do her thing when she was talking to Roxana. Manners?

[Demi Smith]

Demi just clicked her tongue at the thought of someone not escaping from her holes. That was the point, and Demi didn't see any reason to indicate that fact to Rox. The other girl clearly knew it and just as clearly thought differently. Demi probably would've flung some snappish comment at the older girl, had she not already determined that Rox deserved at least a little respect. She could kick butt, after all.

Though a lot of that dipped as Rox insisted that the plan wouldn't work. Demi's pleased expression turned hard almost as quickly, and she even managed to hold still for a few moments. That word, the interesting, the way Rox said it, it had meaning, and Demi most certainly didn't appreciate hearing meaning in a word, spoken like it was meant to go right over her head.

"Right, you're not the first person to talk about some kind of lockdown. Like the wusses around here are gonna throw me anywhere," insisted Demi. She started fidgeting again though, both the urge to pee and her own nervousness as the very thought making her squirm. What if they did? The French guy had obviously just been saying that to get Demi riled up, but Rox, Rox seemed to know stuff...

Before Demi could ask though, Rox threatened her power. "They will not!" she snapped. "Because then my people will come here and beat the--What? No, she's not my caretaker she's my--" but Rox didn't get to immediately here, because Demi had stopped moving and instead glared at Rox. "No." she said flatly.

And it looked like Demi would rather stand still and wet herself than admit otherwise to Rox.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana did know that it was Demi’s goal to basically trap those who feel into her holes, but it was still something she should not do. It sucked for those that could not get out of the holes and now Roxana was taking a mental note and considering if she should look around for said holes and make sure to at least throw or do something that would allow any one that was trapped to make their way out some way without seeing her being there. She was not supposed to be there after all and had other things to do, but if it was on the way it was not really work. She was going to suggest to demi to at least checking them out so she could get pride from having caught someone and then helping them out would then clear her of any blame that would likely fall to her because of the holes. Sure there were probably others out there that could do the same thing, but Demi already had something of a record for being ‘bad’.

Demi went still then, Roxana noting this and working on figuring it all out as Demi went on to talk about how she was not the first to bring up a lockdown. Calling people here wusses and basically challenging the fact that they would not lock her up. Demi was still young so Roxana allowed her to her naive nature and would just let the little girl figure it out when she found herself in a special detention, unable to use her powers, and having to deal with talks by the staff. Roxana would leave it for demi to put it all into place, just looking at the girl in a relaxed and just informative expression on her face. If Demi didn’t want to believe her that was her choice and if she kept things up then she would likely find out that Roxana and the others who brought it up were not lying. Demi snapped then when Roxana brought up Demi’s power, knowing for sure that when she said it that it was going to hit a nerve.

From what she already found out about Demi’s people, were that mutants were the ‘important ones’. If Demi didn’t have a power then her people would not need her. At least that was what Roxana figured was going through Demi’s mind and why she snapped. Her people would come her to beat them? Would they really? Roxana had doubt about that, but would look into it. Still paying attention as Demi was going to say that the women she mentioned were not her caretaker but something else. Demi was right back to glaring at Roxana, apparently not liking that Roxana had asked her if she had to pee. The younger girl was even standing firmly and said no. Roxana has to look away for a moment as to not allow herself to chuckle at Demi being, well a child. “Demi if you have to pee go do it. I’ll stay right here and won’t move from this spot.” Roxana said as she shifted how she was standing to show that she was going to stay right there.

“You don’t want to end up peeing yourself in front of me right? That would make you look weak and you don’t want that.” Roxana said again choosing her words carefully and watching demi, not wanting the younger girl to pee herself just because she didn’t want to go off to take care of her business for some odd reason.

[Demi Smith]

Demi snorted at Roxana's statement. Like she'd be fooled that easily. That sounded like some kind of trick to get Demi to leave. Plus, she didn't see how leaving to give into a bodily urge like peeing was something that showed strength. Sure, Roxana tried to explain exactly that afterwards, but Demi just grunted again, shifting her stance and altering the position of her arms.

"It's weak to give in to your bodily urges. I'm in control of my body, not the other way around," she declared, thrusting her chin up somewhat and looking as stubborn as possible. "if you're so worried, why don't you just go away then, huh? Then you don't have to worry about me. Of course," she grinned, "you could fall into one of my traps, which would have to suck for you."

Though obviously not for Demi. The thought of actually catching Roxana in one of her booby traps practically thrilled her. She all but started dancing for glee just thinking about it. Did she have any close by...? She didn't think so. The nearest one was at least a few minutes from here. They did take a bit to make properly, after all. Darn, because Demi would've loved to actually, like, push Roxana into one or something. That would be just awesome.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana smiled a little more at Demi's stubbornness, it was kind of endearing in a stubborn child-like manner. Then again those two words described Demi almost perfectly, but Demi still had her strength. She had her pride, will, and clearly determination to prove anyone and everyone wrong on things. This whole standing her ground to avoid peeing herself however, was a bit foolish. Yes, Roxana could relate if say this was a very important mission and she had to remain hidden and wait. This was not a mission however; this was a simple Roxana and Demi running into one another. Well more accurately, Demi throwing a wad of dirt at Roxana when she spotted her but it still allowed Roxana to 'find' Demi. She could at least check off checking in this girl off her to-do list out in these woods. Maybe next time she would just sign up for camping to avoid all of this, but she had not been told to and thus did not.

"Good to know that you are in control of your body, but for how long do you think you can remain in control?" Roxana asked as she took a step closer to the younger girl, keeping her eyes on Demi. "Sure as a toddler you learn how to hold it longs enough until you reach the bathroom, but even still you can only hold it so long before your body will go against your wishes and do as it likes." Roxana pointed out and Demi had to know this at least on some level. You could only hold it so long before your body would just let it go. Plus holding it was apparently bad for your health and kidneys, but Roxana didn't see that as super important. Another thought occurred to her, something they would probably get Demi to go off and use the bathroom even more. "I would still worry that you would still be holding it because you would not trust me to fully leave you alone." Roxana said and that was half true. Sure she had done what she needed to do with Demi, but she didn't feel like leaving the younger girl so soon, there was still too much to learn about her.

"Well ever since you told me about your traps, I know to walk a little more carefully, so thank you for that. I can tell you do like me." Roxana smirked a little with her words, choosing them carefully to get a reaction out of Demi so she could learn and understand the young girl more. Roxana was not even worried about Demi's traps if she did end up falling into one. Her power allowed her to create many things, and thanks to training, hard work, and a little bit of artistic talent, she figured she would be able to get herself out of some hole. It could use up a bit of her power, but she would get out of the hole either way. Now her mind was brought back to the whole subject of demi going to take care of her pee deal.

"You know, peeing yourself is showing others that you fear them, that you are submitting, right? Do you fear me demi? Are you submitting to me?" Roxana pointed out and that was pretty much a fact in the animal kingdom as well among humans in terms of the fear part. She again was using her words carefully and posing her questions certain ways on purpose.

[Demi Smith]

Man, did the other girl have some kinda obsession with Demi's body and urinary functions. She just kept going on and on, talking about holding the it and your body betraying you. Demi rolled her eyes again. "Maybe your body does, but I'm in control of mine," she protested. How many times did she have to say it anyway? The other girl was just another one of those idiots, wasn't she? Just prattling on about stupid stuff.

Another snort came out of Demi as Roxana talked about the traps. "Fine, just try it, see what happens to you," she practically snapped, having had more than enough of Roxana acting all big and bad. Demi had put a lot of effort into the traps, knowing that she'd have to catch mutants and stuff. Sure, there were some mutants that you just couldn't trap, no matter what you did, but Demi didn't really care. Everyone knew that if you exhausted even those guys enough, then you could beat them.

"Ugh, you are just so stupid!" said Demi, throwing her hands up. She walked toward Roxana now, practically stomping. The urge was actually dimming now, mostly because Demi was focused on something else, namely the idiot in front of her. "I'm not afraid of you! Do I look afraid?" She practically snarled, pulling dirt and debris up as she went, forming little flowing trails up her body. "Say I'm afraid again. Let's see who's peeing themselves then," she growled, tightening her fists and tensing her body. Yeah, the urge was actually still getting worse. She wasn't about to tell Rox that though.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana's eyes did look away for a moment at Demi's words about how maybe Roxana's body betrayed her. Sometimes your body and mind both betrayed you; Roxana had dealt with that and probably as much as Demi said she was in control, it would happen to her as well. You could only have so much control over yourself it seemed, and even when you felt completely in control, someone could come along and control you easy enough. Roxana was controlled by others; SIGUARD. Demi as well was controlled by other; The Inherited, Demi just had not realized it yet. Roxana still didn't know too much about Demi's people but from what she did know, demi still had gone through some form of brain washing. She was and Inherited, that meant that she shared their views and would also feel that she wanted to do what it was her people wanted to do. Roxana just went with not commenting at that part, eyes looking back to demi when she let out a snort.

"I will. I'm sure I won't fall for any of your traps but on the small chance that I do, I'll be sure to get myself out." Roxana responded back as she crossed her arms over her chest. Demi could be tough all she wanted, but none of that scared Roxana at all. She just found demi to be that much more interesting and thinking how useful she would be for the organization. Such potential and power in that little body and mind that was clouded by part of what The Inherited taught her a bit of her childish pride and antics. Roxana didn't comment on being called stupid and how Demi was quickly losing her temper. Nothing new there. Demi did move closer and that did cause Roxana to shift her stance a little to better herself for close combat. Part of her wished she could use her feet to cause crystals to trap Demi where she was standing.

"I never said you were and no you do not look afraid of me." Roxana was tempted to tack on a 'yet' at the end of that, but her mind started to wonder. Wonder if Demi even feared death or had that been broken out of her at already such a young age. She also wonders if the younger girl was ticklish. Part of her wanting to just tickle Demi and find out. If Demi didn't have to pee before, then she certainly would have to after being tickled for a little bit. There was a challenge there then, one that had Roxana smirking and taking a step forward, being taller than the other girl and looking down at her. Not in the sense that demi was beneath her, but literally looking down. "You smell like pine trees and soil." Roxana said, totally off subject, but did it on purpose as she smirked at Demi, reaching a hand out to try and pat Demi on the head.

"Who is Ceres to you again?" Roxana asked, pretending as if they had actually talked about this, but Rox never actually found out and that was kind of important.

[Demi Smith]

Demi didn't even bother to address the trap thing. Let Roxana fall in it; see what happened to her. she was far more concerned with making sure that Roxana knew without a shadow of a doubt that Demi didn't fear hr or anything else. Demi must've worked somehow, as Roxana already started backpedaling. The random comment on how Demi smelled caught the young girl by surprise though.

While Demi was still blinking, trying to figure out what her scent had to do with anything, Roxana popped another surprising question. Demi's brow furrowed for a moment. "Where did you hear that name?" She demanded. Anger started to rise again, not that it had really gone very far. With it came the dirt, rumbling about her and rising. Demi again remembered that she was very much in her environment: nearly everything she could see right now, she could control.

"Tell me how you know about her!" she hissed, raising her hands, the dirt and dust flowing. She was tempted to just blast Rox and be on her way. She still needed to pee, after all. Be so easy to just hit her with a burst of power, show her who was afraid.
