Io contined to beat the cause of the shock senseless. Though if you were to ask her she'd make it clear that he was senseless before she got there.
((Go Io! [cheers]))
Kathode came out of hiding and took an open spot in the circle around Blightlord. She pulled the hood of her shirt over her head with her kitty ears popping through holes cut in the fabric. "I'm Kathode, don't try to pet me." She said to the group.
"...I'm Virelai." She said simply, adjusting the eyepatch over her right eye.
Alan's brown eyes went wide as they shifted over to the blue faced girl in pure amazement. He had seen aliens, walking dogs and cats and other humanoid beings that had crossed his path. But never had Alan seen a blue creature, with a cowboy hat, and an eye patch. It was simply... illogical. And what was that burning smell. Was that her?
Alan's mind raced with thoughts as he stared back at her. They came out of his mouth all once.
"Hello, did you know that our colours togethor make purple."
"You smell."
"Why are you called Virelai?"
"Is your eye patch subskwipshun... sub-scrip-t-shun?"
"This is all just illogical," Alan said and mumbled to himself as he paced around Essex. He didn't even wait on an answer, but just stared at the ground and circled the teacher.
Eventually he stopped, smiled and looked back up at Virelai while he adjusted his glasses. It was almost as if nothing had happened before. His brain had come up with answers for him.
"Nice to meet you Virelai."
Mini-E, who had apparently not been looking where he was going earlier because of his book, was now circling the chairs quickly as though thinking. "The circumfrence of the hexagonal thingy with the yellow fweigh- Hexagonal shape, with the brightly coloured center, is divided by the area of-"
When he heard Essex ask for introductions, he put a tag on the page on the textbook he was on, and put it down. He stood on it, gaining a few inches. "I am Expewiment- ExpeRiment 2.0, or John for short. Technological and cute-baby-type extraordinare!"
"Waaargh!" Prikker exclaimed suddenly, and Snikker only grunted.
"Me Sammy Weykoff!" Reikoff exclaimed. "Markus Markone. . ." The future-Family-Maltan-Smoker intoned, "My daddy in the moffya!"
"Ah'm Curtis!" The third boy exclaimed, adjusting his minitature stetson.
The last boy looked around, putting down his model helicoptor only for a second.
"My naym Craig."
Rosie stood up next, putting her hands on her hips.
"Ah'm Rosalind!" she cheered. "But y'all can call me Rosie. If you pull my tail, I'll bite you, though." Sitting back down, she nudged Nessie from behind.
"My Papa made it...." Vanessa whispered to Cobalt quietly, before she was nudged by Rosie. "I...I...I'm....Van...vanessa." she stammered quietly to the gathered group, seemingly very timid behind her glasses. Her giant metal claw rested in her lap. "E-ever'one...calls me... Ne-nessie."
A note was being passed around. Not everyone could read, so it was more of a drawing than a note. It had a small picture of a group of children sitting, and then an arrow pointing to a treehouse. At the bottom was clumsily scribbled, "meat up otsyd aftr words"

"..." Virelai was a little scared by the influx of questions, clinging to Essex's shoulder and neck even tighter, the oversized cowboy hat slipping once more over her eyes. She gave off a grunt and holstered her toy revolver in her skirt, taking one hand off of clinging to Essex and lifting the hat up over her brow.
She shook her head to clean her thoughts, lifting up her hand to implant her thumb directly into her mouth, sucking on it terrifiedly.
"...It's nice to meet you as well." She spoke quietly. "...Be careful of the one in red and the zombie. They're mean."
She looked over at Io, who was still whacking Static with her toy sword. She managed to crack a small smile through her thumb-sucking, letting out a pleased giggle.
((OOC)) quick flashback to Essex's request for help...thread's moving prety fast!))
Lili had at first responded to Essex's request for assistance by calling out to the smaller children, urging them to follow her. Her voice was surprisingly rich and strong for a 6-year-old. Several of the youngers turned to look at her, and she briefly flashed on a memory from a couple years previously. When she was just a baby.
----------
"You must prrrrroJECT, Lili! Put yor lungs behind it, your diaphragm..."
"Dia...my what?"
"Your diphragm, mon petit. Speak from the pit of your stomach. If you are to grow up to be a Ring Mistress, you must first be heard, little one. No one will pay any atention to a Ring Mistress who mumbles!"
-------------------------------
Well, they were paying attention...but they weren't following! Essex would be cross with her...would think she was just a baby! What could she do? Then it occurred to her: it wasn't enough to get their attention...she had to captivate them, fascinate them. She had to be a performer.
Stooping, she snatched up three random small objects: a Beanie Baby, a wooden block, and an eraser from one of the marker boards...and began to juggle. The objects were dissimilar in size, but there were only three. Child's play. She could keep three going while walking...or herding the youngers!
It was working! They were rapt, and followed her as she headed into the other room.
----------------------------------
((OOC)) Back to the "present!
"My name is Lili," she stated simply, her piping voice tinged with a French accent.
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
((OOC: There are a lot of people in the thread. O_o Since this RP is just for fun, don't worry: Come and go as you please. If you lose track, just send me a PM, or just re-enter however you'd like.))

((Holy 72 new posts!! Talk about your break-out hits, good job everyone.))
Little Kreigg's bouldery body rolled by, he was giggling to himself
The miniature Combat Toy stuck out a foot and blocked Kreigg from rolling over anybody. The plastic toy poked the rock and looked it over curiously.
"Shouldn't you be in a garden or something?" it asked in a voice a bit too deep for its size.
********************************************
Little Toy jumped up and waved his hands wildly.
"I'm Toy Dispenser! =D" he shouted. "I'm a wobot and I gots lasers! And I gots bots! Bots say hello!"
Mini Bot raised its hand and flopped down on the ground.
"I'm Mini Bot."
"I'm Large Toy."
"I'm Block Bot."
"I am Toy Bot."
"...i'm Small Toy..."
"Yo, I'm Combat Toy."
"And we're ACTION FIGURES!" they all shouted at once. Mini Bot stuck its hand up in the air again and waved it around.
"We are not doooolsssrrrrrr......" Mini Bot managed to get out before its eyes dimmed and blinked off.
"Perfect timing," Large Toy muttered and began cranking Mini Bot's wheel.
Then Ghoul sat up straight and looked around, focusing mainly on the crybaby and the smart pantses.
"Ghoul is Bwutif Ghoul!" he said, pointing his thumb at his chest. "I'm da ruler of da playpen, da king of the hill, an' the boss of alla yas. 'Cept Rosie, cause she's stupid."
Ghoul stuck out his tongue at Rosie and crossed his arms defiantly.
"Sure you are," Archlich said sarcastically before reaching down and prying Io off of Static. "And you, young lady, had better calm down."
Setting Io down between Ghoul and Kathode, Archlich formed a glyph in the air and placed it on Static's back.
"That should keep you from shocking anyone else," he said as he walked away. "You can show them around, Essex. I'll sort out the forms and get them filed."
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Io struggled in Archlich's hands as she tried to get at Static. He put her down and she crossed her arms and glared at him. She put her toy sword away and looked around the table. She looked at Ghoul who had just declared himself king of the playyard or soemthing stupid like that. "I'm Io. Sister Io and I'm a assassain." It was somewhat distrubing that she could perfectly pronounce assassain. She reached foward and grabbed a carrot stick which she munched on displaying a few gaps in her teeth. "And stoopid boys like him," She pointed at Static and then Ghoul for no appearant reason, "I hurt." She said with defiences and then sat down and munched on her carrot stick.
Ghoul chose to be magnamious and ignore Io's remark about his intelligence. Not that he knew what magnamious meant.
OOC: Or how to spell it. >_<
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
"Well, nobody's assassinating or blasting anybody here, okay?" Essex said with a little smile. "Let's be nice to each other."
Waiting a few more minutes to allow for the other children to introduce themselves, ((AKA, retroactively insert here)) the robotic teenager stood.
"Now that we're all friends, let's go over the rules of the house, okay? Rule Number One is to listen to what Sir Archlich and I say. Sometimes you might not want to, but he and I want to keep you safe and help you have fun.
Rule Number Two is to be nice to the others in the house. Remember that we all are sharing the house and the playground, so let's all share and be respectful of one another.
Rule Number Three is to let me or Sir Archlich know immediately if a stranger tries to speak with you or offers you anything. Remember that you're all very important to us and we don't want anything to happen to any of you.
Rule Number Four is to watch out for each other. Sir Archlich and I can't be everywhere at once, so we're counting on you all to be our helpers, okay?"
The last sentence was said with a little smile at the tiny robot, Helper.
"Now let's show you all around the house."
With that, she stood, and began to lead the children out of the room and towards the upstairs.
"Up here is where you'll all be sleeping...the boys' room on one side, and the girls' room on the other. There are two bathrooms for each side, so everyone take turns, all right?"
"I'm the boss of th' girl side...." Rosie mumbled under her breath with a glare at Ghoul. "We could beat up the boy's side any day. Right Lili?"
Rosalind was a fiesty kid, but Lili had her respect. After all, she threw a mean ball, and there was nothing the young were-child liked more than a good game of fetch.

((Helper would so be the hall monitor!))
Io had her arms crossed as she followed Miss. Essex. The rules to her were, well she'd put it like this, the stupid boys aren't worthy of my help! She smiled a bit when Rosalind meantioned beating up the boys side. "You bet we could." She said despite the fact no one had said anything to her. She looked in the room and took it in. She looked for a place where she'd be as far away as possibe from the door to sleep. She walked in and poked around curiously looking for anything she could throw easily. Better yet, anything to hide under, Io's favorite game was hide and seek. She played it all the time, though ussually just with her mother, even if she didn't know she was playing. She smiled when she noticed all the beds were elevated, perfect for hiding under.
"Now, now, Wosie," Moonscribe said. "No need violence. Sure we can come some sort awangement." His glasses flashed.
"Yeah, awangement!" Schizo cackled. "We awange you sweep in big doggie cage!" He tossed a bur at Rosie.
"Stopit," Hal complained. "No make twouble for Essex, she nice."
Virelai had slid out from Essex's arms, landing on her feet (for once) on the ground with a gentle "thump". Lowering down her hands, she started dusting off her skirt and her jacket, adjusting her revolver in her skirt pocket, and lifting up the oversized hat that had fallen over her eyes...again.
Lifting it back up to rest on the top of her head rather than in front of her face, she happily walked forward and poked Io in the shoulder...very, very shyly.
"...Um...um...good...good job with...hitting that mean guy...um...thank you..." She stammered before quickly running off to the beds, walking around and crawling under a few, trying to see what one she would like.
"We could beat up the boy's side any day. Right Lili?"
Lili wrinkled her very prominent nose in a grin and waved her hand at the boys dismissively. "They're gross!" Then she lifted her chin and added magnanimously, "But I suppose we can let them play...we want to have enough to have some real fun!"
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
Io blinked at the girl as she ran off. She smiled, at least someone appercated what she had done. She turned and ran after Virelai. She caught up with her crawling under a bed, "You welcome." Io said with a smile, "If you want I could hit him again." She said happily. She looked around the cool area underneth the bed, "Mmm, do you like hiding too?"
"Hidin's all well 'n good," Ani said as she walked up to Io, "Bu' ye might wanna keep an eye out. Sorry about tha trip earlier, ye wasn' supposed ta be the one cought." She dug into her pack and pulled out a band-aid. "Here ye go, jus' ta show no hard feelings 'kay?" Even as she held it out, Ani was looking about the room, her other hand digging for her notepad so she could get to planing the lay out for her traps.
Hmm... a water bucket o'er the door, best make it sos the other lasses kin get 'round it.... ink bombs by muh bed... Ah'll 'ave ta string out trip lines each night, need ta find out if any of the lasses sleepwalk...
"Waiii!" The Malfian cheered as she swam around the room, poking into the upper corners before a patch of dust caused her to sneeze and shift into the puff ball of light again. Stell giggled and moved to the closets.

Moonscribe smiled, glasses flashing again. He would make sure to be careful. It was fun reading minds.
Io blinked at the band-aid. "You tripped me?" She asked. Well the girl had appologised, and she wasn't one of the stupid boys so she could forgive her. "Alright. I forgive you." She said as she took the band aid and put it on her knee with a bit of effort underneth the bed. It didn't actually need it, but it was a pretty band aid with all sorts of pictures on it so it deserved to be put on. She smiled at her new friend.
Stell raised her hand.. and the rest of her as she floated up in the air.
"I'm Stellarmare, but you can call me Stell." She smiled
Ani had been giggling as Rosie chased the mouse but when the time for introductions came, the Irish girl sighed pulled her hood lower over her face.
"Ah'm Anibelle Locke, call me that 'n Ah'll kick you. Ah'm gunna be called Revanchee 'n blow up lotsa stuff tha' annoys me."
