"Okay..." Essex said, sitting down on the floor among the kids. "Now the kitchen downstairs is off-limits, okay? If you need something just ask me or Archlich."
Lowering her voice to a mischevious murmur, she leaned close into the crowd of kids.
"I have to learn everyone's favorite foods, right? That's something I like to do - everyone takes turns helping me pick out meals. And..." her voice went down to a whisper, "Mister Archlich isn't a very good cook."
Looking over at Naga and Kreigg, she straightened with a smile and a sigh. "Though we may have some special eaters on our hands."
Upon seeing Schizophrenias throwing burrs, she carefully pulled the boy into her lap and began to gently pick the spiky seed-pods off him.
"Goodness!" she laughed. "It's like you rolled around in a bush or something!"
"Yeah, a stupid bush." Rosalind murmured under her breath to Io, Virelai, Ani, and Lili under her breath. The girls' side looked like it was getting some good new blood...just what they needed...
((OOC: Gah. I always feel like I have to brush my teeth after posting as Essex in this thread. XD;; ))

"Grr!" The entire group of Maltans and Trolls growled as the girls proclaimed superiority.
"Uki su lat gu ged klomp'd reel kwik me cee!" Prikker exclaimed, thumping his small chest.
"No, we set trap up and they get hurt'd and we laugh!" Marcus chimed in.
"No!!" Reikoff exclaimed.
"I make per'fek plan! Meet me latur an' we show them girls!"
Io smiled at Rosalind and Virelai. "Yeah, we'll get him when Miss Essek isn't watching." She said grinning ear to ear. She was starting to like this place she had found several people she already thought of as friends and some of them like to hide. She decided that she should get them all to play a game of Hide and Seek with Miss Essek. Io didn't think it was too important to tell Essex that they were going to be playing though, or that she'd be the seeker. "So what kind of games do you guys like playing here?" She asked.
"Seek?" Ani smiled as she pulled out a frisbee with what initally looked like a calculator on it. She gave it to Virelai. "Jus' toss tha' at him, it'll keep followin' him 'ntil it hits him in the back 'o tha head." She nodded, satisfied with herself.
"Seekers? I have seekers!" The puffball that was Stell piped up as she passed through Rosie. "They're not too bright but their really nice firecrackers." The ball gave the impression of a sad face for a second. "Though I wish they could do something other then white... maybe red or blues... ohhh! Or gold, I'd like to see gold."
Pinnacle
Heroes
When in danger, or in doubt; Run in circles, scream and shout.
Io blinked at the puff ball wondering how she did that. "No, not seekers a seeker. You know, the person who looks for you when you play Hide and go Seek." Io said looking at the frisbee and smiled, oh that was going to be fun to watch. She hoped Static gave it a good chase before enevitably being hit. Io crawled out completely from under the bed and sat down with her asorted friends.
"Now now peoplez... We don't need to get into a battle," 2.0 muttered, "I am suwer- SURE, that we can figer- Figure this out peacefully. Right, Miss Essex?"
John simply nodded to himself, not even bothering to wait for the android's reply, as he began wandering around the boys' room.
Toulon stood up, "Hey... I didn't gets my turn. I'm Toulon the elf,"
He swooshed his long blonde hair to show off his pointed his ears. Then he lifted his sword up into the air.
"Hyah!" he swung the sword around over his head.
"...Stupid prettyboys." She swung the seeker out at Toulon, crawling deeper underneath the bed, yanking a blanket off of the top of the bed and wrapping it around her.

Kaos and his men walked over to Experiment. "I twink you a smartie guy. You helpie me an me boys, we keepie you safe. Capiche?"
Radeator smiled. "Elewticity no worky?" Suddenly huge radiation blasts were hurled at Static, but missed and instead went right for Essex....
Workout Man walked over to Toy. "Hi, I'm Wowkou Man. Kewl action figures."
Experiment blinked blankly at Kaos, shook his head, and pulled the textbook he had apparently carried upstairs from... Somewhere. He started walking around with the complicated and oversized book again, blocking out the world.
"What're you talking about?" Rosalind said, crossing her arms. "I don't even understand you, stupid." The were-human stuck her tongue out at Prikker.
"Now now..." Essex said, resting a hand on Rosie's head. "Just because someone talks differently doesn't mean they're stupid. Say you're sorry."
"...Sorry green boy." Rosie muttered reluctantly.
Just then the radiation blast crackled towards Essex, striking her full in the back --
-- and dissapating. She turned, and blinked at Radeator while still holding Schizo. "Now now. Archlich's wards on the house will keep your abilities from doing too much damage. You don't want to hurt anyone, do you?"
Japancakes.

Experiment walked up to Essex, frowning darkly. "Oh, damn... Okay, Miss Ess, please inform me of what I am doing wrong... The equation of 2,490 x 9,203 is easy enough for mental math, so I did that, then I have to divide that by 9,020, but that is impossible... Oh, no, wait, I missed that number... Okay, that was incredibly dumb of me..."
He then started circling Essex in thought. "So, if that is the area, divided by that,, then perhaps the square root is NOT so hard to find... Damn, if I had done question 98 in class, instead of on the way over here, this would have been so much easier... But then, if that IS the square root-"
He continued this babble, circling Essex over and over again.
CptCommie walked down the stairs just in time to hear Essex's remark towards Radeator. He frowned, and muttered under his breath.
"Stupid new kids..."
He dismounted the last step and looked around the room. So many new faces, and he had missed the introduction. No, matter. I will just have to do some investigation myself. His scarf trailed behind him a good foot on the floor, and his ruffled brown hair was stuffed under his cap. He finally spotted Toy, who seemed to have some interesting gizmos. The nine year old made his way over. He waved towards Toy, his piercing blue eyes giving away a grin.
"Hi! I'm CptCommie, you can call my Feliks though. WhatÂ’s your name?"
Io nuged Rosalind and whispered, "I think you are right. He stupid." She said with a smile when one of the boys attacked Miss Essex. "HEY!" She yelled as she saw nothing happen to Essex she glared at Radeator. "All boys are stupid." She mumbled, "Especially ones with powers..." She said sitting down on a bit of blanket that Virelai had wrapped herself in. She looked under the bed, "You okay?" She asked.
Meanwhile, Naga had gone invisible and scampered off when no one was paying attention to her. It wasn't long before she was on the kitchen counter and trying to lift the lid off of the cookie jar, which was proving not to be easy with her clawed hands.
(( Coming into this a little late. Hope you don't mind ))
A police cruiser pulled up to the Bright Star Children's Home. The gruff police officer stepped out of the car and went around to the back. He opened the door and motioned for the child in the back to exit. The boy shook his head vigorously. The officer pulled the boy's arm a little roughly, which prompted the boy to exit the car.
The boy wore a semi-sullen expression on his face as he was forced to walk beside the officer. The officer looked down at his young charge with a brief smirk, "This is for your own good. That was only your second offense. Before you screw up a third time the city has decided to put you in here."
"But I didn't do anythin'," the young boy said.
"You stole a car," the officer lamented.
"I returned it," the boy replied.
"For the life of me," the officer began, "I still don't know how you managed that feat."
"I got lucky," the boy smiled, beside himself.
The pair arrived at the door. The officer knocked lightly on the door.
"Hi Wowwow Man! Hi Felix! ^_^" Toy said happily as he somersaulted backward and jumped to his feet, spreading his arms wide. "Dese are my bots!"
"Yeah, we're his bots," Large Toy as it looked up at Workout Man. "So don't try to take us or nothing."
"I wouldn't mind," Mini Bot said. "I like playing."
"That's cause you're a girly bot," Combat Toy snorted. "You don't even have a Kung Fu grip."
"Yes I do!" Mini Bot shouted indigantly and hopped up and down. "Watch!"
Running up behind behind Essex, the plastic drone pointed its arm at her and pressed a red button on its shoulder. Little lights flashed on the end of its arm, playing over Essex's shoulder like little laser bursts.
"Laser attack!" the rest of the bots shouted and they all opened fire on Essex.
"My bots are awesome, =D" Toy said.

"Whatevah you gonna do to the girls," Ghoul said as he loomed over Reikoff. "Ghoul wans in."
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.

I was watchin'....D: ))
"Now now." Essex said to Io with a little smile. "Nobody's stupid. There's just a lot that all of us have to learn, including me."
Setting Schizo down, she reached down to take Kathode's hand in one hand and Snikker's in the other.
"Now who wants to see the backyard?"

((But can you watch all of them at once? 
))
Naga gave up on the cookie jar and came back to the living room before anyone noticed that she was missing.
(( OOC: OMG! Essie is t3h St4lk3r! Watch out! Hide your children!...
...Oh, wait, she is a babysitter... Damn. ))
Cobalt was talking to Nessie again. "Momma made my hand, and eye, and gave me this bag." She said, opening her backpack and proceeding to pour out what seemed to be an infinite amount of beanie baby dolls.
"I not know how they all fit in there." She added.
Io got up and patted her denim dress off. "No Miss. Essek, the girls told me all boys were dumb. They have a deseisesese called Cootie. It turns pretty girls into dumb boys." She said following her, "I know, Sister Iris told me, she's way smart."
"I got it," Archlich said as he headed toward the door. "You do the tour, I'll fill the new kid in on what he's missing."
Lamenting his current situation in life, Archlich pulled open the door and then carefully discharged the energy that he had instinctively gathered upon seeing the police officer. Looking down at the six or so year old kid, Archlich looked up at the officer in disbelief.
"What did he do? Illegally park his tricycle?"
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.
"He's mean. We could hit him together, if you want." She stated, looking out from under the bed, her hat and eyepatch covering and shadowing her enough so that only her scarred eye was visible. She scanned the floors with her gouged eye, fighting away another coughing fit.
"...Do I like hiding? Yeah...it keeps me away from mean people, and it lets me...think."
