Faye was clutching her head, and through the tears swimming in her eyes, she saw Gavin holding his jaw, sprawled on the floor near her. "Ah, shit, sorry Gav!" She massaged her forehead, blinking back the tears that had sprung up thanks to the swift collision she'd just caused.

The head-knocking definitely had NOT helped her concussion, Faye decided, as her headache had come back, about 10x worse than before. Awesome... Her head pains were quickly forgotten in favor of Gavin, who had obviously been crying. Squinting and wiping her eyes, she stared at Gavin for a second hesitantly, before asking, "Um...you okay?" She said it casually, as if she were asking about his jaw, but Faye was hoping that Gavin caught the double meaning behind her question.

Gavin tried to brush everything off.

"I've gotten hurt worse. I once broke an arm falling from a tree." he laughed.

"I sure was an idiot for climbing 20 feet off the ground and trying to jump from branch to branch." again he laughed avoiding answering the question he knew she wanted an answer to.

[raelyn]

Faye gave Gavin a concerned look, knowing he was avoiding her question, then shrugged it off. She didn't want to push him into talking about it, doing so would be cruel beyond belief.

Distracted, she laughed, asking, "Did you think you were a squirrel or something, dork?" She gave him a smirk, still rubbing her head. Bracing herself against the door frame of the bathroom, she stood slowly, trying not to jostle her aching head. "I think I'm going to take a shower, so I can at least get the mud out of my hair. I think I heard Mia and Andrew though, they probably got your new clothes."

-------------------------

Jake nearly choked when he saw Kate, naked but for a towel around her body, walking around in the laundry room. Jake himself still wasn't wearing a shirt, because he had yet to find David to ask permission to borrow one. His skin had begun to dry, though, and his hair was dripping down the back of his neck.

Trying not to show his reaction to several mostly-naked military personnel hanging around, Jake rifled through the food cabinets, trying to find something to eat.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin walked down to receive his clothes, but before he did he gave Faye a playful poke on the forehead.

"Your one to call me a dork miss video game tattoo lady."

He smirked and walked off getting his clothes.

"Nice pick in clothes guys. Defending world series champs all the way!"

[Renren]

"Oh, hey," Mia said to Jake as she walked into the Kitchen. "Do you know if there's a towel in here? It's pouring outside." She glanced at him rifling through the cabinets. "Wow, yeah, really, how long has it been since we've all eaten? Seems like forever," she said, opening drawers, looking for a kitchen towel.

[Serenity]

Kate groaned as the dryer seemed to take its sweet little time. "How long does it take to dry a uniform?" she spat, banging once on the machine. "Screw it, I'm going to see if there's any more clothes here," she said, walking over to Faye.

"Hey, any girl clothes around he-" She stopped mid-sentence, remembering what Mia and Faye were wearing. "Never mind. Hey, David," she called out to downstairs, "show me where your room is! I'm wondering if I can borrow a shirt from you!"

[raelyn]

Faye grinned at Gavin as he poked her forehead, then stuck her tongue out at him playfully as he passed her, heading for the stairs. "You know I'm cool, Gav." she joked. Kate walked up and started to ask her something, wearing nothing but a towel. Faye was mercifully spared attempting to speak, seeing as she probably wouldn't have been coherent. Faye tried to wipe the blush off her face,before heading into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her. Just in case. Praying to every god she could think of, she turned on the shower, sticking her hand under the jet of water. Yes, hell yes, there's still hot water left. Satisfied, Faye stripped off her wet clothes, pausing momentarily to examine her injuries in the mirror. Damn...I took quite the beating. Her eyes roved over the bruise covering her back, then she snorted, shaking her head. Only she could get a bruise THAT big.

Still laughing, Faye stepped into the stream of water, which was blissfully warm. The flood of hot water slowly worked the pain out of her head and back, and Faye ran her fingers through her hair, still unused to the short hair on the back of her head. Mud flowed into the drain, restoring her hair to it's original, more golden dark blonde. Pleased, Faye began to hum, then to sing. Contrary to the experience in the car, Faye had a pleasant, bell-like, clear voice, and she'd also completely forgotten that everyone in the house could probably hear her. So she was just belting it out.

Save our city, keep our souls, Lord, through the rapture of this world... Faye's voice echoed in the shower, giving it a slightly eerie quality. Faye continued to sing to herself, alternating songs randomly.

--------------------------

Jake turned as Mia came into the kitchen, nearly dropping the box of crackers he'd been holding. She was sopping wet, from head to toe. Her scant clothing was clinging to her body, and her skin was beading with drops of water... Shit, Jake, c'mon pull yourself together! Jake practically stuffed his head into the cabinet he'd been opening, his face a deep shade of crimson. Don't look...Don't look...aw, shit.

Mia was rummaging through a drawer right next to him. Now he couldn't pretend she wasn't there. Extracting his head from the cabinet, he looked at her, a sheepish smile spreading over his boyish features. "Yeah, I honestly don't r-...uh...remember...the last time I f-....ate."

What is WRONG with me CHRIST on a cracker!


Edit: I like when the Italics and Underline things decide they hate me.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin got very wide-eyed. He walked away to the kitchen.

Okay now she's just trying to make me feel awkward. I mean c'mon was that really necessary? Next she'll flash herself. he rolled his eyes and entered the kitchen.

Mia and Jake were talking and Jake seemed to be in an awkward position. He left chuckling slightly as he hoped his entering had only made it more awkward as he head upstairs.

[Serenity]

Kate craned her neck to see if she got a response. Nothing.

Argh. "Screw it, I'll go find him," she said, not wanting to search the many rooms for his. She walked downstairs, holding onto her towel, went passed essentially everyone, searching for David.

She walked passed Gavin, giving him a smirk, passed the Overseer, frowning, waving at Jude and told him to hold on one more moment as she tried to find David.

"Where the heck is David?" she asked, going into the kitchen. "Is David in here?"

[Renren]

Mia glanced up as Gavin walked in, looked at them, and walked away, laughing. "Wonder what that was about," she said. She turned to look at Jake, smiling. "What did you say? It sounded like you said you didn't remember the last time you 'fate'." Just then Kate walked in, still holding the towel around herself.

"No, David isn't here," Mia said, turning around and lifting herself up to sit on the counter. "Keep wearing that towel and I'm sure he'll show up soon, though."

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin heard the singing from Faye as she was in the shower. Most people would laugh, but then again Gavin was not like most people. He went into the laundry room and began to change.

He hummed along quietly to the song she was singing. If ever he was acting out of the ordinary it was now. He was usually tense most of the time, but he had relaxed as he pulled the shirt over his head, his hair still wet.

He even had to chuckle slightly at how oblivious she was being. He sat by the dryer and listened thinking he was acting very stupid.

[raelyn]

Jake turned at the sound of Kate's voice, then hit his head on the cabinet door trying to stuff it back into the cabinet.

"Lots of....um...interesting swirls in the woodwork...on this here cabinet..." Jake said, voice muffled by the doors of the cabinets. Idiot, idiot, idiot WHY IS NO ONE WEARING ANY CLOTHING!?!? Idiot, idiot, shit shit shit.

Jake was practically banging his head against the shelf at this point, cursing himself for being so awkward. Other guys would've taken this into stride, been slick about it. Not him. Nooo of course not.

Turning suddenly, Jake tried to lean cooly against the counter, but his elbow landed in the open drawer, and he nearly fell, skidding and regaining his balance at just in time. Jake laughed feebly, cursing at himself mentally.

"No...uh, yeah David's not here unless he's....hiding under the table." Jake laughed again. Hiding under the table!?!? C'mon Jake that wasn't even mildly funny. I give up on you. Wait, no, my own brain can't give up on me, that's not possible!

[Renren]

"Oh my god," Mia said, alarmed but giggling slightly. "Are you okay? Did you hit your head?" She smiled at him deviously. "And you never answered my question, you know."

[Serenity]

Kate looked at him strangely. She was starting to look at all of the civvies strangely. She put two-and-two together. "Is it really that strange seeing someone half-naked?" she muttered, turning around, where the towel barely covered her thigh.

"At base, there was a damn line for showers and you always saw people naked..." she grumbled, walking out of the kitchen.

"Civilians. So comfortable in their clothing! Warriors fought naked back thousands of years ago on the battlefield, for fuck's sake," she spat, taking a look at the dining area before leaving the kitchen completely.

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Andrew was a very blunt person so when his stomach grumbled he went straight into the kitchen and saw Kate leaving through the other door. Despite that he quite arrogantly ignored everyone and went into a cabinet grabbing goldfish.

He surveyed the scene and chuckled.

"Looks like you have magical powers over some men." he said to Mia. "However they won't work on me." he chuckled and left.
