Where: The Hallways of the King’s Ransom
What: Touring the Ship
When: Around 3pm


Lana sighed as she chucked one last rock overboard, not watching but listening to the explosion as it tore apart. Last night had been the most fun she had had in so long. A girl’s night out, making new friends. Drinks that they took turns picking up the tabs on even though the effect was basically that they spent the same amount they would have had they simply paid for their own beverages. A bit of gambling where self-control proved to be handy. Those girls, Mag and Niki, were a hoot. It was nice to get out and do things with people she could relate to. It made it a shame that she had to resort back to this annoying routine of blowing things up.

The femme had found the most remote area of the deck that she could so as to avoid questions, all the while hoping that none would skip questions and simply confront her to complain about the risk doing something like that could run for all aboard. It was broad daylight so the explosion wouldn’t be witnessed easily and she would say so if anyone approached. Perhaps if people knew there was a greater risk in her not doing this they would never think to ask. After all, if she didn’t release the pent up energy it would find ways to dispel itself into anything she might touch and risk seriously hurting someone.

Either option would be met with hostility, but who could blame them? Did she really even have a right to encroach on their lives, knowing she could harm them any moment or endanger them? Sure she had been invited by two very nice men, but she hadn’t told them she had to do this every day or run the risk of losing control. Would they have still allowed her to come? Sure they might have. After all, she wouldn’t be the only mutant with a dangerous power. Hell, Mag was probably the strongest being alive and she could seriously harm someone. Lana thought that the head chef might have a bit more control over her power than the Hawaiian, though. No, no… She had plenty of control and her routine system of doing things worked for her. She hadn’t lost control in… what? A year and a half? Quite a long time for her and it was only because she had overslept that one day. She didn’t expect to lose control now, so why tell anyone she could if she didn’t do this? She had nothing to prove to them. They could go kiss off if they didn’t like it.

What was she doing! Sitting there, thinking about confrontations that had neither occurred, nor had any likeliness of occurring? A smile twitched the corner of her lips up, and she shook her head before running her long fingers through her hair and lifting herself to standing. It would do her no good to continue making up conversations in her head when she didn’t even know her way around her new home.

So, Lana left the dry heat of the day and moved back within the controlled climate of the ship. It was high time she found her way around it so she knew more than simply the ways to the galley, the deck, and her room. On a vehicle this size there had to be more than just that. Considering she had plenty of time she decided she would move slowly, take in all the sites. The ship was beautiful and she was in no hurry. Bare feet padded lightly down the corridors as she began her little self-sustained tour.

Gwen didn't get much sleep that night. Thoughts of home kept bombarding her. She wondered what Keri and her father were doing at that moment. She had rolled, tossed, turned and finally kept still so she wouldn't keep her roommate up. So when she finally went to sleep she had a dream about reading minds and a brain chasing after her.

Slipping out of her bed she went to take a long shower. Getting dressed in a pair of jeans and T-shirt, she made it out of the room. Losing her way had never been this easy for Gwen. There were lots of rooms, lots of halls it seemed like some kind of maze. Taking a corner she glanced behind her, swearing she heard something. Upon looking back ahead she jerked at seeing someone there. Jumping back she eeped, "So sorry! I thought I heard someone..." She pointed behind her, cheeks flaming a little.

Looking at Lana and then Drake she cleared her throat. "I'm Gwen, I came on in Hawaii." She then canted her head to the side, studying Lana for a moment. She looked familiar, in the way that she thought she might have been in the restaurant...or something. "You did too right? I mean...I think I've seen you at the tiki bar I used to work at. Or you have a twin back in Hawaii." She lifted a shoulder, "Maybe it was the store." Rolling her eyes at her awkwardness she smiled shyly at Drake.

She really should be over all this. She wasn't a teenager or anything. She was a grown up. Gwen Gregory was out on her own. Yet she still muttered and rambled through meeting new people and just didn't know how to take them. Folding her hands in front of her she fiddles with her fingers. Stepping back she lifted a shoulder, "I...guess I should go, let you two...do whatever it was..." Her brows knitted together, "You know of anything interesting to see on the ship. Like maybe a closet of cleaning supplies?"
