[i] - Mercy - [/i] Mercy eased herself down into a seat, elegantly folding one leg over the other she leant back in her chair leaning her elbow on the arm she rested her cheek against the back of her hand, an amused smile on her face as she caught Maria's explanation. [i]A little different from the norm...but isn't that what this is all about?[/i] She thought to herself, she glanced at Darwin as he slid into a chair next to her. A smile lit up her face at his completely inconspicuous whisper, she replied in the same manner. "Yes Darwin?" She dropped her hand from her face, turning towards him as he offered her some skittles. "As long as you promise these aren't laced with Cyanide" She grinned at him, opening her palm to accept any skittles offered. She reached into the cup with her other hand, grabbing a piece of paper she turned it over in her fingers feeling her smile lift with a devious turn. [i] - Crash [s]Bandicoot[/s] - [/i] Crash smiled at Lily as reassuringly as he could. "Don't worry about it, yup that's me" He shifted in his chair casting his eyes across the way raising an eyebrow as Mercy took skittles from Darwin and then...wait a minute...[i]...god save us all...[/i] He thought, he lifted a hand to his head groaning. Before he noticed Alex had joined them, he was a little surprised to see him looking less...chibi like. "Hey Alex" He greeted him with a friendly smile, his eyes traveling back to Kathy briefly as she apologized to the boy, he chewed his lip for a moment. [i]Did I pull her away from Alex?[/i] He wondered whether he could help their situation, unsure whether it was a good idea or not. "Don't be too hard on her Alex, it was my fault for dragging her away" He attempted, before he noticed the blue haired pixie had turned to look at him, he blinked twice upon listening to his sentence. "I'm sorry...treating your mom well?" Crash repeated having been successfully confused. "I don't even know your mother" He raised an eyebrow at the other boy wondering whether he was missing some kind of punch line or whether that was a dig or some kind...he really wasn't the best at understanding these kinds of things. His eyes opened in surprise as he caught Kathy's blush and glance, though apparently he wasn't getting an explanation now...[i]OK...that's not weird at all...right[/i] "Ah...ok" He attempted a grin though he hadn't quite had the chance to shift the confusion. Crash shifted in his chair so he was facing Kathy and Alex, a warm smile lighting up his face when he shifted his gaze to the former. "Exactly what I was wondering...I also think teachers playing probably isn't the best idea" He commented, though he couldn't stop himself smiling despite his words. "I'm not the king either by the way, but I have an inkling as to who is" He grinned without offering anymore info. [i] - Mercy, Crash & Little Feather - [/i] Mercy took a deep breath before standing up where she was. "Read it and weep, my loyal subjects" She grinned at the group holding up the bit of paper labelled King. "King...sounds so masculine though" She frowned looking down at the paper, noticing the very suspicious look she received from Little Feather though she noted the indian girl looked about ready to ping off of the walls.. [i]Ok...pretty sure that's not normal but..[/i] "We can call you 'Queenie' if you prefer" Crash piped up with a cheeky grin, feeling strangely confident since Mercy wasn't aware of his number the chances of him suffering under her wrath in this game were 1/24 She slowly paced around the other chairs, dramatically clasping her hands behind her back, seriously over dramatizing the whole scenario. "I command that..." She hesitated for a moment, looking around the players and tapping her lower lip thoughtfully. "...number 7 point out one person in this room that you find attractive enough to date" She announced with a wide grin looking around to see who the unlikely victim was.
