*complete, 2012 12, character: alexis castle, character: claudia donovan, character: derek reese, character: nell jones, character: sean hanna, character: tim riggins, character: troy bolton, dead: eric beale

RP: Claudia/Troy/Sean/Alexis/Tim/Reese/Nell
Who: Claudia/Troy/Sean/Alexis/Tim/Reese/Nell
Where: Tennis court
When: Saturday 12-22-12
Summary: Claudia gets her powers.

Claudia sprawled on the ground beside Sean, manning the drinks table set up between the two courts. It was overcast, but warm, and tennis was on the agenda. Claudia and Troy had been talking about sports on Friday during their work with Robert, and tennis had come up, and now tennis was being played. Claudia loved it. Troy was so easy-going, and that somehow rubbed off on everyone else. Not being crammed at the school or on the base in New York under scrutiny helped, too.

The icy drinks were green and yellow, some alcoholic, some not, to go with tennis. They'd all contributed snacks, too, spread out on the makeshift picnic blanket. Derek roamed the fenced perimeter rather than sat, Nakita with him. Alexis and Tim were playing a match with Troy and Nell.

Claudia didn't really know what was going on, so she cheered randomly for both sides whenever it looked like something good happened. "Woo-hoo!" she shouted as the ball bounced past Alexis and off the court. She raised her green drink, sloshing some over her hand. "Damn it." She licked the icy concoction from her fingers and sucked it off her thumb.

"Dude, this stuff stains," Claudia told Sean, showing him her right thumb, which was a light shade of moss.

Unbeknownst to her - yet - the plants surrounding the tennis court had begun to grow.

It appeared the radius wasn't that large, once Sean had cleared nearly all the plants. Claudia estimated about a hundred feet, give or take a few. She could see plants at their normal height beyond the fence, and the plants hadn't attacked the far ends of the fencing, just the sides.

"I feel like a Knight who says Ni. Bring me a shrubbery!" Claudia joked, because joking was a defense mechanism. Of course, that defense mechanism ended up causing one of the remaining tall coyote brushes to plow along the newly desiccated land until it was directly opposite her and straining against the fence as if trying to get inside. She was glad she was in the middle of the two courts.

"Oookay, then, shutting up for now." Claudia closed her mouth and tried to follow Troy's advice. She tried feeling for something, got nowhere, and went with the visualization. Her mind wandered from the conventional to her being a tree nymph from one of her video games. Her mental nymph told the brush, Back off, bub.

The brush straining against the fence went into fast reverse, plowing away until it appeared to hit a barrier then stopped moving all together.

Claudia smiled. "Awesome."

Troy smiled a little. "I don't know what Knight would that be, but I'd suggest concentrating on things that are slightly more important."

He watched as she concentrated and when the brush moved, he grinned. "See? I knew you could do it. Now, try doing it looking less excited and without the 'awesome'. I got ripped a new one for having fun with these powers. And try working with only one or two at a time. We don't want Sean to have to destroy every plan on this island."

"Right. I'll put on my serious face." Claudia scrunched her brow and pursed her lips. "If anyone wants to escape, may as well do it now. There looks to be a radius and I'm at the center of it. When I move, it'll move."

Claudia waited. Then she stood up and moved closer to the net post. The brush on the left side of the fence beyond Sean's detritus began growing. She called up her mental tree nymph and got to work.
