[IC] The Experiment Subjects

[22xander]

"Let's go," Vul said, pouting cutely and jumping down off the tree but not before he gave her a kiss. "I'm getting hungry!" He called up, and began running towards the home.

[Josie123]

Luna felt the sound of tapping of fingers fill her ears like a scream. She looked at Desmond's fingers as they danced on the table which sounded like something was bugging him. Like another sense, she could tell something was definitely wrong that was bugging him. She was fighting her self conscious to see if she should ask what's a matter. *Should I ask? Maybe he doesn't want me to ask at all....*, she looked down at her long sleeves that went all the way to her knuckles playing with the sting. Then without her even thinking and making up her mind to not say what's wrong she says it anyways but in a soft whisper, "What's wrong Desmond?" Tori felt her cheeks blush then muttered, "Why does he keep doing that!?" She climbed down the tree forcing her blushed cheeks to as least go away. She raced after him, she could smell her food which made her stomach rumble like crazy.

[22xander]

When he reached the door Vul let himself in with the lockpick and ran over to the dining room. He sat down after serving himself up some food and waited til tori got their. Even though he was starving.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Upon hearing Luna's voice Desmond jumps in his seat, the tapping getting much worse, and he yelps. He then covers his mouth and blinks. What. The. Fuck?! He looks at her and shakes his head. "Nothing." He says through his fingers. Dark Smoke started floating from his fingers and the smoke moved of it's own accord, where only he could see, forming a image of Luna and hearts around her. Desmond yelped again and grasped at the smoke, trying to stop it from doing that. The smoke moves over to Luna and forms a heart and a tiny cupid-like creature, which shoots an arrow through it. Desmond tries desperately to stop the rebel smoke and it pantomimes giggling, flying around Luna and basically drawing things that would point to Desmond fancying her, torturing the poor boy as he attempted to stop the smoke, the blush rising up to his cheeks. He shakes his head no vigorously, seeming hell bent on denying it no matter what.

[Josie123]

Luna felt her eyes widen only slightly when she heard the boy next to her yelp. He never yelped before....well never yelped in front of her ever. She is not even sure if anyone heard Desmond yelp. She even saw his cheeks turn a redness color. So she poked Desmond on the arm without anyone looking muttering a "You sure your okay? You seem", she looked for the right word then said,"jumpy". While talking she didn't even look anywhere else but the plate filled with steaks. She didn't eat much only one little bite and that was all. Tori ran next to Vul sitting down next to him. She wasnt hungry now since she just ran. But she kissed Vul on the cheek saying a soft "Thank you for waiting" then drinking her water. She felt off still. Not right at all.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond looked at her and chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Just feeling a little off..." It was then the smoke forced its way into her field of vision, forming a heart, and then spelling out 'I love you' in little wispy letters, seeming as if Desmond had done it on purpose. He lets out another exclamation of surprise and his hands find his seat, gripping, waiting for... something. Will she lash out? Yell at him? He wasn't sure...

[Josie123]

Luna watched a heart shaped heart and words that made her cheeks turn red like a red emerald. Was he messing with her feelings or something? It made her heart quicken tho. Or is he telling the truth? He is acting odd and unlikely of him. She felt her eyes shine blue a bit, Is it true or not?.....Maybe it is just a prank...but...maybe...not, with that thought going through her mind, her eyes flashed with all kinds of emotions. She couldn't tell if he liked her or not. Wait why am I making a big deal about this!?, she couldn't thinks straight. So she got up and ran upstairs to her room hoping somehow the walls to her room will hold the answers.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond watched her go, reaching out and wishing to explain but his mouth wouldn't move, his mind sputtered to a halt. Finally he sighed and just sat, bending over the table a bit, glaring at the smoke. The smoke takes the form of two featureless, humanoid features, which seem to pantomime guilt. They march slowly over and hug one of his fists, seeking forgiveness. He just glares at them. "Why did you do that?" You like her, don't you? The words took form as the two smoke figures intertwined and formed the words for him to read. He blushes. "W-What are you saying?" We were just trying to help, we thought with the whole first love thing... Desmond, who had begun to actually eat, nearly choked on his food when the word 'love' took form. He gaped at the smoke words. "I may like her, but not like that!" He spout out in a harsh whisper before he could think on it. Oh, so you do like her? "ARGH!" He cursed under his breath as he pulled at his hair. "I don't know!" What do you mean you don't know? They're your feelings. "I don't understand my feelings, I've never wanted to!" Desmond snapped back. Well, you're acting like a lovesick moron who doesn't even know it... Oh wait... "Shut up!" Desmond growls, accidentally raising his voice to a shout, slamming his hands onto the table. The giggling imp-like creatures return to inside their host before they are spotted, and Desmond looks around to see who had witnessed his little outburst.

[Josie123]

Tori looked at Desmond from her seat raising her eyebrows at his outburst, "Uh....."was all she said before looking at the direction of where Luna went. Then back at Desmond before standing up, but was stopped by Nurse Gloria. The nurse had Tori by the arm having a kind smile, "Let Luna go she looks like she needs time alone" but Nurse Gloria thought about it more then said, "I'll go check on her. I'll even give her food to her. Just enjoy your food." The nurse walked towards Luna's plate then said, "Me and the nurses have something we have to discuss later with you all." Before anyone can say anything, she was already up the stairs.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond just sighed and sat back down, pausing to mentally curse at himself before returning to his food, eating slowly, deep in thought. He finished the food and cleaned up any mess he had made before leaving, heading back up to his own room and shutting the door behind him. Once inside, he just sits on the floor and thinks. The shadow people take form, larger now, their forms being tall enough to reach his knees. Are you angry with us? Desmond sighed. "No, just... don't do that kind of crap unless I ask for your help, alright?" Okay... Well, at least go talk to her and tell her why what happened happened. Desmond sighed and leaned back against his bed, his head hitting the matress and he sighs. "I only wish it could be that easy, but... what if she gets mad at me?" Why not tell her you did it on purpose? "Eh?!" He looked at them and blushed. "W-Why?!" Well, if you like her, tell her. She'll say whether she likes you back or not, and if she doesn't you could just apologize and say you understand. That way, she won't be as mad at you. "But that'd be lying to her, I didn't mean to do that..." He still thought about it though. Just say you did. What could be the harm? Desmond sighed and got back up, going to the door and opening it. He walked over to Luna's room and knocked again.

[Josie123]

When Luna got to her room, she didn't reach the bed when she just collapsed to the ground. She didn't even know why the hell she was acting like such a weirdo now. She shouldn't be anyways, it makes her feel silly just being like this. After a few minutes of being alone, the nurse came to her room dropping her food off. The nurse stood there telling the girl that she won't leave till she ate the food. When she did, the nurse left with a happy smile leaving Luna back to her thoughts alone once again. Luna was now curled up on the floor deep in thought when she caught a scent of someone close to her door before she heard a knock. She banged her head on the floor a bit as her wolf claws scratched the floor. Damn....when did my claws appear?.., she stared at her claws and blinked then they were gone. So once she was positive they were gone, she opened the door. Not at all surprised when she saw Desmond standing there. So she shook off any other emotion and thought then said with a small smile, "You have now knocked on Luna's door. How may I help you?" She said in a odd voice. Once again, she was trying to make him smile or laugh. She liked when people laughed and smiled.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond did both, kind of nervously, and had his arms behind his back. "Mind if I come in? I just wanted to, y'know, talk..." He paused, and the pause stretched on. Well, this is going absolutely amazing. 'Shut up you.' Desmond responded in his head. Make me.

[Josie123]

Luna could tell he was nervous which made her tilt her head a bit. She didn't understand why he was all nervous. Wait.....nevermind I know now.., she nodded her head when he asked if he wanted to come in. So she opened her door wide while she turned towards the chair next to her desk. The shewolf felt her eyes glance out her window still thinking hard enough but not enough not hear what Desmond had to say. She already know she was being a over dramatic person. And what ever he said, she hoped it wont make the dramatic side in her show.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond walked in and stood before Luna, staring at her. He notices she seemed to be distracted by something, but decides to just get to the point. "So, eh, what did you think of the smoke note...?" He asked, weakly, rubbing the back of his neck. His eyes dropped from her and he blushed furiously. Haha, you're so red! She's gonna find that adorable! 'Shut. Up.' He replied, again in his head. 'Just shut up, you aren't helping.' Never said I was trying to.

[Josie123]

Luna felt her cheeks turn a bright red when he mentioned the smoke note. Why was she blushing!? She already knew he was going to mention it. Maybe its because just hearing him say it made her blush. She didn't know what to say at all. She didn't know how the hell she feels about it. And it is confusing her to no end. Okay I need to be careful with my words, was what she was thinking. So she said softly, "I don't really know how I feel about it." Just really tell me what it means so I can know how I truly feel She mentally rolled her eyes in her head. Now she was confusing herself and probably him too.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Just come out and tell her. 'It isn't that easy!' Just open your mouth and say whatever comes to mind. Let your heart speak. 'My heart is beating out of my chest, I don't think it has time to speak.' Just say something damn it! "I, well, I..." He stumbled out some words, but he didn't know where to go. Finally, he got stuck on the only thing that made sense to him in the world, what with him being a major science geek. He started mumbling things. "Hydrogen... Helium... Lithium... Beryllium... Boron... Carbon... Nitrogen... Oxygen..." A large shadow hand came out of him and an audible sigh was heard before it smacked him across the back, bringing out a large breath of air, and. "IthinkIloveyouandIwanttoknowhowyoufeel!" He burst out, before panting, as if physically difficult for him to do so.

[Josie123]

Luna chuckled when he started to mumble things that sounded like science. But the chuckle was a soft one that only she could hear it. She never knew he was a science geek which made her smile. But her cheeks turn red like a cherry when she heard the outburst. She had to repeat it in her head a bit to understand it all in a sentence. She got up off her chair and looked at him closely to check if he was lying to her at all. But by the way the outburst went, what he said was true. Then she searched deep into her heart and brain for what she could say or the way she felt. Then she said softly almost like a mumble, "Maybe I like you too......", before she could say anything else. The nurse walked in looking at them both, "What's going on?"

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond looked over at the nurse. "We were just talking." He says, any trace of embarrassment somehow suppressed for now, composed in mere moments. He made his way out of the room, but turned and did a little wave in Luna's direction. "Talk to you later..." He said before walking back to his own room. Once there he went over to the floor and sat down again, the shadow figures reappearing. See, that wasn't so bad! And she likes you back too! The events came running through his head on repeat for a while before he smiled lightly to himself. "Heh... Maybe she does..." He turned to the dark people and nodded. "Thanks..." Don't thank us. We got you into this predicament in the first place. We'll find a way to make it up to you. "Nah, nah..." He sat back and looked at the cieling, smiling quite widely to himself now. "Nah, that wasn't a predicament. That was a very interesting turn of events..." You aren't mad at us? "Not anymore. But next time you try something like that, ask me first!" He snaps at them. They raise their hands in mock surrender. Fine fine fine. Whatever.

[Josie123]

Luna watched him as he left while crossing her arms playing with her dog tag that was in her pocket. She didn't even notice the nurse till she cleared her throat making Luna's eyes glare at the nurse. The nurse said with a stern voice which made Luna almost growl. The nurse kept on talking and talking about how to behave which always made her roll her eyes. All she heard in the talk was ,"Behave now" then the nurse was gone. Luna forced herself not to say what she was thinking knowing she might get in trouble. But she just kept repeating the cruel names she wanted to call the nurse in her head.

[Akihisa Yoshii]

Desmond sighed and lay there, realizing he hadn't even attempted to take his pills from breakfast. He smirked. Well to hell with them. He yawned, stretching out on the bed, the shadow figures bounding over and flying into his body. When inside, they gave him a tingly feeling, one of... happiness, pleasure. He smiled as he drifted off into sleep. He hadn't really gotten that much the night before, to be honest. Goodnight, human friend. Was the last thing he heard before slumber took him.
