Outnumbered ~ I Am Number Four ~ Invite Only!

[Amberlight]

(What's going on exactly?)
C sat, bored. She was working on being transferred into the group of girls that included their leader's daughter because her earlier coworkers didn't end up making out of the last mission. The girls might have been scouts, but C was only a recently promoted soldier and they had lost one of their own not long ago.

Rosemary whistled to a little mackingbird that sat on her finger. The bird chirped the song back causing her to break out in a big smile. Nature just seemed to gravitate towards the Loric and she loved it. She pushed her hand up indicating for the bird to leave and walked inside to Susannah. "Do you ever stay in contact with the other Cepans?" Rosemary sat on the floor.

"100!" Paige sat up from her final sit-up and looked around for her Garde.

Everett lazily checked into checked into the latest social network and made his way to the information database. Child play really. Icaron wanted some information about where the Lorics were, but Everett had hit a wall. It happened often, and he would normally just goof around until some inspiration hit him.

I can and I will, Willow responded as she made it out of the forest. The beach was silent, with no traces of activity, save for the footprints leading into the surf. The idiot had left without her. He had not taken his chest of Loric artifacts that was bound to be important; in fact, he hadn't taken anything. Just the clothes on his back, and even those were going to be soaking wet. Willow was going to make him regret this.
She dove into the water. It was surprisingly warm, considering how late it was. Maybe Willow was just too angry to feel the cold. With strong, steady strokes, she began the long swim to another country. All the while, all she could think of was how dead she would be if she wasn't Loric.

Rowan surfaced, awkwardly looking at Sam. He felt like an idiot today. "I just realized we forgot all our Loric stuff in Germany. If we took it, I would use one of those Loralite gems for the ring. She would love it." Even with how dark his skin was, a blush reddened his cheeks as he continued to swim.

Gingko groaned at her Garde's comment. "With that attitude," she called after her, "I'll be glad to have a very intense training session!" She realized she hadn't turned her laptop off, but thankfully Amber did that for her. But her finger hadn't been anywhere near the power button, last time she saw.
"What did you do?" she demanded, marching outside to join Amber. Gingko decided to brush off the strange happening; maybe her hand had just moved inhumanly fast, because Amber had quick reflexes anyway. "Okay, you get to pick the training today. I'm not feeling as murderous as usual."

Apricot felt a weird pricking sensation at the back of her neck before hearing Esme's voice. She groaned as she got a lecture. "Yes, mom," she said with a bad attitude in her voice, though she grinned at her Cepan when she was done. "Thanks. Anyway, I was kidding about the Facebook thing. I'm not gonna tell my location to those," she said a profane word in Japanese followed by an Italian one, "Mogadorians."
With a snicker, she stretched her arms. Her grin fell when she felt the pain of countless bee stings all over her body. "Can I just go for a swim?" she said with a displeased noise. "I'd like to see how you would react if you got a thousand bee stings from a really, really badly placed prank!"

Icaron tried to keep his eyes fixed on the map, but he couldn't help but give a quick sideways glance to his cohort. Against his will he made a mental note that her posture was very elegant. It wasn't her looks that got him, though, it was how efficient and ruthless of a murderer she was.
"I am certain the Sensationals are based in America, but you may be right," he commented casually. Rori reminded him of the queen of hearts from that Earth franchise; cruelly carefree and murderous. He loved it. "You may accompany anyone you wish. They may call you my second in command, but really, you do not need to take orders from anyone." He twirled his pen and then stabbed the sharp point into the center of the French circle.
"You thirst for power, Rori, don't you? I can give you what you want, but on one condition." His dark eyes were intense as he stared into hers.
And his voice was desperate, but it held a threat.
"That I never lose you."

[Some of the Loric are meeting up.]

[hilde]

Susannah shook her head sadly. "no. I miss them though."

[honeybee.]

Both Willow and Nine spoke in her head at the same time which was a little confusing but then she heard a knock at the door. Erin flung it open and looked at Nine. He was pretty cute looking...Wait what? Now was not the time to have weird thoughts. "Come on in." She said happily.

"She'll probably lI've anything you give her if it's coming alongside a marriage proposal." Sam pointed out.

Richie was surprised how pretty four was especially after how angry her voice was. "Hi!" He said with a big smile. "Boy am i glad to see another loric. I hope willow gets here soon." He waved to Maple too.

[honeybee.]

Erin had started grinning. "You don't know how long it's been since I'be spoken to someone that wasn't Maple." She said, "I can't believe I'm actually talking to another garde!"

[hilde]

Richie smiled as he made himself at home on the couch. "Number Four... So you're the really smart one that kept on getting really high scores on Earth languages! You were the only one who got Number One to stop swearing at me! I'm so glad to see you again. I'm Nine as you know but you can call me Richie."

[honeybee.]

Erin sat on the sofa too. She thought back to the ship. "You were the one who wouldn't stop laughing in the food fight when I got slimed with lasagne." She grinned, "And Erin is what people call me. Though you can still call me four of you like."

[hilde]

"Sorry!" Richie said though he was blushing a little. "So what do you prefer. Four or Erin?"

[honeybee.]

Erin thought for a moment. "Well the name Four is kind of irrelevant now that we've broken the charm though it does sound pretty cool. And Erin is my actual name, so call me Erin." She said, "Four can be for nickname purposes."
