E is for Energy Drinks {open}

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"Woooooooooo! Suck it Mario! Your chubby plumber butt just got kicked hard. And again. Uh, how do them apples feel? That's right," Frank started bobbing her head, pausing to take a sip off an absolutely giant can of Monster. This was one of those super cans that were probably illegal in Kallispell, in Montana, and most likely the United States just as a general rule. In fact, it had probably been outlawed by the World Health Services as being dangerous for children.

Frank had six or so empties rolling around on the floor around her.

"Yeah, feel the wrath of SONIC THE AWESOME HEDGEHOG, SUCKA!" Frank yelled again, jerking her hands and sort of waving. She sort of knew that you didn't actually need to move the controller to get results, but she was just enjoying it far too much to do otherwise. Thankfully she played the most active character by far, and the little blue avatar seemed to be sucking up Frank's extra energy. The little blue blur spun into poor Mario who then went flying off the stage. The announcer let out a "GAME OVER."

"Uh, ain't that funky now!" yelled Frank. She grabbed the energy drink can, took a bit swig, and then flung both hands into the air. Energy drink sort of fell. "OH YEAH, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG WINS AGAIN! that was awe-some! Whoo!" Frank bobbed her head, her hair flapping. She glomped the poor person who'd elected to play with her, giving them a quick hug. "You are awesome! Take some candy!" she waved her hand magnanimously at the horde that lay strewn about her on the couch. Frank had been camped out there for most of the weekend, forsaking sleep in exchange for energy drinks (as if that weren't obvious). She turned and bounced, sending cans and wrappers falling to the floor.

"UH, I AM SO PUMPED, WHOO!" she called. She grabbed the can, picking it up to her mouth and swigging. Still pumped, she screamed, crushed the can, and then took a giant bite out of it. "Oh yeah! Energy drink infused metal! That's the stuff! Whoop!" another fling, more drink flying, and Frank turned. "So who wants to go for another round? Think you can handle the twitch? Huh? You can even have some candy of your own. I think there's even another can of something around here," Frank nudged the pile of junk food about her with a toe, attempting to excavate something of worth in time for whomever wanted to step up to the plate.

[Sebastian Silver]

Sebastian watched as the girl jumped and moved about, really into the game. Then to his surprise he watched as she bite off a chunk of the can she had just been drinking out of, shaking his head in disbelief. He still had a long way to go in getting used to this place. That is if he  can manage to stay here.

Hearing the offer to join in the game he thought, what the hell, and walked over to were she was. "Hi I'm Sebastian...do you mind if a play with you?" He said a little awkward, holding out his hand. Looking through the small mountain of snacks he spotted one of those extra large energy drinks, so he opened it up and took three big gulps from it before picking the little pink guy name Kirby. 

Sebastian didn't get to play video games as much as he wanted to, but he was pretty good at them, not to mention that he would port into big name video companies and play them before they were released to the public.

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"SEBASTIAN!' cried Frank, throwing her arms up wide. She bent over, sweeping aside yet more of the junk food wrappers and energy drink cans, working to make room for him on the couch. "Just plunk right down here an' have a seat, Sebastian. Wait, Sebastian, like the crab, right? From Little Mermaid? Duuuuuuuuude, can you sing too? It would be super awesome if you, like, had water powers and oh, Kirby, seriously? Whatever man, be prepared to be spun right off the stage."

Frank flopped back, facing the screen again. Her eye gave a few more twitches and she reached for a bag of junk food, not really identifying it before lifting it up. She took a bite, chewing the top off and swallowing it. It appeared to be a pack of Swedish Fish, which worked for Frank. She dumped a large mouthful into her, well, mouth. She was already chewing when she looked over at Sebastian again: "I'm Frank, by the way," she said, extending a hand. She somehow managed to talk around an entire mouthful of food without slurring her words horribly. Really, it was a gift. She swallowed and pointed at the can, nodding, "You might wanna watch it with those things; I don't think they're technically legal here. I can handle 'em cuz they just shoot right through me," leaving the twitching mass before Sebastian, who'd managed to spew out this much conversation in roughly a minute.

It was amazing what sugar and energy could do to a human being.

[Sebastian Silver]

Sebastian was a little overwhelmed at the sheer speed at which she spot, and amazed at the skill she had at talking and eating at the same time. He smiled at her remarks about Kirby, if she hadn't already picked Sonic he would have, but his 2nd best character was Kirby and he knew all sonics moves and weaknesses.


He nodded and said "oh ok I'll make sure I take it slow" but he doubted it would do too much to him, since he was used to taking his extra strength 'energy pills' to keep awake days at a time so he wouldn't sleep teleport.

He couldn't help but get caught up in the positive hyper energy she was giving off. With a smile he moved Kirby to the edge of the stage and waited for the blue speed ball to come charging at him. Timing it right he sucked Sonic into his mouth, jumped off the stage and spit Sonic out towards the bottom off the screen under the stage so that his spring board boosted jump (which gets great height but not good on the left and right movement) couldn't save him. Then watched as the little pink fluff ball puffed its way back onto the ledge and safety. 

Looking a a pile of empty snack packages grow as they played he came up with an idea. "Hey Frank want to grab a bite to eat after the game?" Knowing he had the perfect place in mind for it, he couldn't help but smirk at the thought of her reaction. "So what can you do? I assume it has to do with eating though lol"

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank practically vibrated with the barely repressed energy. Her fingers moved nearly as quickly as the character on the screen. Of course, she had all the tactics of, well, a teenage girl hyped up on energy drinks who'd forgotten the whole sleep thing for a few days. Sonic spun his way right into Kirby's mouth. Fortunately for Frank, she could twitch with the best of them, and she'd just about broken out by the time Sebastian tried his little trick. the spring jump thing wouldn't work, but Frank's twitching made Sonic stay up far, far longer than he rightly should.

"Aw, man! That was super cheap! Duuuude," Frank leaned over and nudged against Sebastian before raising her controller up and down. Soon the blinking Sonic descended from above, and as soon as the character could react, he was zipping through the stage. In fact, he zipped right off the left side of the screen, and Frank actually jerked her body rightward as she worked to  get the character back onto the stage.

"Wha-? Naw, I'm all situated here. 'sides, I'm pretty sure that if I stop the energy drinks I'ma collapse," said Frank. She chuckled, jerking her character about. "And asking someone their abilities before giving your own? That's totes rude, yo. But I eat stuff," said Frank. she spun the controller, sending the blue sawblade heading for Kirby again.

[Sebastian Silver]

"Oh.... err.... sorry, I didn't mean to be rude by asking first but the reason I asked about grabbing a bite to eat was cause I was going to show you my power." At that moment Frank's speed demon managed to send his little pink fluff ball off the screen. Game Over came on the Screen with Frank and Sonic the winner, he gave her a good fight but she was just a little bit better then him in the end.

"good game Frank, and my power is teleportation, and if you want....., I know some fantastic all you can eat places in Vegas, that have every food you could think of from around the world. If your interested in pigging out I can take us there?" He held out his hand waiting to see if she would take it or not.

All his insecurities came flooding back to him, why did he not think before he spoke sometimes, she probleby thought he was hitting on her by asking her to grab a bite to eat. Its just that he has found giving people dream trips is an effective way to make friends here, and hoped it would work for this new energetic student, which he hoped was too new to have attended the masked dance and there for had not seen him make a fool of himself, then again she could have easily heard about it from another student or from Dirty Laundry's blog, the schools gossip blogger.

Looking at her with apologetic eyes Sebastian said " I really didn't mean to offend or nothing and sorry if I came off weird, up until recently I didn't really have a reason to try to make friends, as I kept teleporting all over the world, so I'm kinda new to all this. If not we could play another match I could use the practice." He said a little bit awkwardly.   

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank giggled as Sebastian sputtered and seemed quite embarrassed. The giggling would have thrown off her game, but there were certain advantages to being so hyped up on energy drinks that you were pretty well vibrating. Frank didn't even have to cheat, which she'd seriously been considering doing. When Sonic popped up as the winner, she let out a little whoop and bent over to pick up more junk food, which she pretty much shoved at the poor guy.

There was the whole power thing to consider, which gave Frank pause. Her eyes widened at the thought of just being able to 'port anywhere in the world that you possibly could. just think about it, and you'd be somewhere else. "Dude, that is one super awesome power! It is, like, so much better than mine. I just eat stuff," she demonstrated by grabbing the Swedish fish bag and chewing a hole in the bottom, which she then proceeded to use to suck down all the sugar in perhaps the noisiest fashion she could manage.

Then she burped.

"Dude, stop worrying," said Frank, leaning over and nudging him, "it isn't often dudes offer to take me wherever I want. I'll totes take you up on that sometime. Just not now, because I'd probably get to Vegas and start nomming on the slot machines and people be all like 'and mutantkind was discovered because an idiot girl decided to eat a slot machine.'"

she giggled, leaning back to look at the screen, where her character still struck his victory pose. "let's set up some comp buggers an' beat the snot outta them!" she declared, pumping her fist and moving through the menus. This did require she lean over and punch a button on Sebastian's controller, but that just reinforced the fact that Frank was no respecter of personal space.

[Sebastian Silver]

He couldn't help but smile at her nudge, her happy hyper energy was infectious, or maybe it was the energy drink she had warned him about, either way he was down to beat the tar out of some computer controlled characters. He didn't even mind her reaching over to his controller.

Picking out a snack cake from the pile of junk food she handed to him, he munched it down than got ready to play.  "So where did you live before you came here, I traveled all over the world never really staying in the same place for very long" he ask as he moved his character around the battle field.
(sorry it was short)

       

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

{np, Sin. I'm cool with working with whatever, so long as I've got something there to actually work with}

Frank took a deep swig of energy drink, before sort of absently munching on the top of the can. She pulled the can up and out of her grip with her teeth, moving to reselect her character and get things situated on the screen. Sebastian seemed pretty ready for it too, so they were already dropped onto a far, far too colorful screen to play, because of course Frank loved to play at Yoshi's Island. The music was almost jarring.

Frank spit out the can at the question. Her fingers were already blurring across the controller, and she kept jerking her body, sometimes getting close to smacking Sebastian upside the head. "Wha--? Dude, watch out for that Bowser---ahhh, you ate him! Sometimes Kirby is awesome! But, uh, yeah, I was sent away to boarding school in Europe for some reason," Frank began sort of hopping up and down on the couch, waving her controller. Sonic responded by mostly spazzing out on the screen, as a momentary burst in Frank-energy was not translating well to the character.

"Vous sucez, vous idiot rose portant nini!" she shouted, displaying a strange knack for speaking incomprehensible insults in near perfect French. She jerked her hand again, the jerk putting her clenched hand dangerously close to Sebastian's head.

[Sebastian Silver]

Sebastian ducked and bobbed when need to avoid Franks wild jerks and swinging arms. Grabbing a green question block. Sebastian turned into a metal version of himself, then jumping into the air he came down transforming into a spiky metal ball in his decent. Crushing down on a computer control Zelda, he sent her flying off the screen. Recovering just in time to swallow the incoming Bowser gaining his power in the process.

"Vous sucez, vous idiot rose portant nini!"
(OOC: Sebastian knows what this means but I do not)

Sebastian smirked at her string of French insults, thinking she probably thought he would have no idea what it meant, wrong. If there is one skill that a teleporter needs to hone fast, it would be the ability to learn languages quickly. And that was a skill Sebastian had mastered at a very young age, he seemed to have a natural gift for it, whether that came from a high IQ or the lifestyle he had, he knew countless languages, sure he knew some way better then others, but he doubted there were many he either didn't know or couldn't at lest get by with out there.

"(Insert string of French insults to go along with what Frank said!)" Sebastian shouted in support of her outrage.  He looked over smiling at her ready to give a wink at her surprise of him knowing the language, when the next thing he saw was her hand crashing into his face. Taking him by surprise he fell back have crashing into her, before losing focus and teleporting away.

Landing hard on sand of some kind, he couldn't help but grab his face, the pain of the control hitting it still fresh on his face. Hearing the sound of waves he knew he knew he must be on some beach.
Wait I had crashed into Frank right before my teleport, don't tell me I telported her too, he thought in horror.
"Um Frank?" He called out knowing she would be close by if he did teleport her, if not she would be safely back at the school wonder what happened to him. 

 

  

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

"Meeeeeeeeetalllll Kirrrrrrrrrby!" shouted Frank, dragging the words out for as long as she possibly could before giggling again, sort of jerking her controller about and letting Sonic do his flailing thing. she still managed to do more damage to the enemy than anything else, though the end result was still the character falling off the edge of the stage. And lo, there was much jumping and flailing.

Frank giggled at French insults, ready to stick her tongue out at him, were it not for the general flailing. And then Frank found herself tumbling backward onto sand of some kind. She didn't roll far, despite the strange giggling fit that hit her the moment her body touched the sand. She let out several wheezing gasp and looked toward the sky, noting how very, very blue it looked. She thought she heard the ocean crashing too, which means that she must have fallen really, really hard. Either that or her brain had finally just started to go nuts after the excessive amounts of energy drink poured into her system.

"heeeere!" she called out at hearing her name, extending a hand and waving it while still giggling. "At least, I think I'm here. Are we on a beeeeeach?"

[Sebastian Silver]

Even through the pain he couldn't help but let out a laugh at her humorous response. "Yeah I think we are, oh wait I get" Sebastian chuckled realizing why his powers picked an island, "My powers must of ported us to an island cause we where playing on Yoshi's Island stage, so when I got whacked in the face with the controler, I lost focus and my subconscious picked an island as the distention." He said this light heartedly with no hint of anger in his voice, as he walked over grabbing her hand and helping her up. A smile on his face, "Well I can port us back or we can check out the island your choice?"
   

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

Frank's world was still spinning and kinda hazy, as everything sort of vibrated. That might have been Frank doing the vibrating though, she couldn't honestly be that sure. She held up a hand, but it was just as twitchy as the island, so that really wasn't that helpful. She did sort of hear what Sebastian (gee, that was a funny name, like the crab!) was saying. Something about being ported to Yoshi's Island and---

waitasecond.

"We're on Yoshi's Island!?" burst Frank. She flailed her legs and just sort of flailed, somehow managing to get upright with all that effort. Sand flew about her, threatening to bury them both for a few moments. "There are yoshis here? What the heck are we doing sitting at the beach?" with that, Frank scrambled upright, her head spinning a bit. She shook it and looked around, eventually seeing something in the distance. Without thinking twice, Frank began heading that way, waving her arms and screaming something that was probably supposed to be "yoshi" as she went.

Because that was the only word Yoshis knew, of course; everyone knew that.

[Sebastian Silver]

"No wait!" Sebastian muttered but it was too late, using her hyperactive energy like jet fuel she took off, haphazardly run towards some on known object. Sebastian tried running after her but she was gaining ground on him. With a thought he ported closer to her, with just enough time to grab her and port backwards before a komodo dragon could bite her.


Painting slightly he said said "That is NOT a Yoshi! Its a komodo dragon!" he still couldn't help but giggle at Frank's silliness. "You got to be careful when in someplace new Frank. Trust me you don't wan't to get bitten by one of them. Are you ok?"   

[Frank "Sunny" Laffont]

So there actually was a dragon. In truth, even Frank hadn't been entirely sure. Her blurry vision had been exposed to Wii graphics for so long that she still pretty much saw the world as spinning pixels. So when the thing she charged at actually hissed, she was surprised as anyone else, flailing her body and sort of skittering backward. Sand flew everywhere, both from Frank and from the dragon. Fortunately? Sebastian happened to just manage to grab Frank in time. The lizard thing did not look happen, hissing and sort of wiggling away. Frank hissed back, jerking a little. "I'll eat you back! BECAUSE I CAN!"

Not the first time that Frank has said that.

She settled down slightly as Sebastian explained that yes, the lizard thing existed and that Frank had been lucky not to be bitten (which was somewhat rarer, actually, as most of the time people were asking her not to do the biting). She giggled and nodded, waving and sort of attempting to work her way upright. It mostly worked, though she slipped on the sand a few times.

"Why are we on an island?" she asked, looking around and blinking quite a lot. "Did we get here by magic... ARE YOU MAGIC!?" she turned and grabbed onto Sebastian, pulling him close. "Are you a magical singing crab? If I eat you, will I gain your powers?"

Probably not a good idea to have pulled her away from her energy drinks...
