Toad's Discovery: Hubba Hubba!

[Snapcake]

Just when things were gettin nice and sudsy, Toad was shoved aside by his fiery friend. He hit the wall beside him with a grunt and shot Pyro a wounded look. "Hey!" Pyro was completely oblivious to his protest however, he was already practically dancing around and muttering about curves.

Oh the curves...

Toad hopped from one foot to the other in excited anticipation. "Hurry up, yo! There's only one peephole here!" He hopped up onto the wall and scurried up to where his head was right next to Pyro's in hopes there was a way to share the peephole. Which of course there was not.

He squealed and had to bite his tongue to not make too much noise. "You should have seen it loverboy." Toad looked over at Gambit from his vantage point on the wall. "The curves, the suds...the Herbal Essence!" He closed his eyes and sighed, then opened them back up again and said offhandedly, "Oh, and yer girlfriends in there too." Then to Pyro he whispered, "Psst, is Oreo in there yet?" And ran a greenish tongue over his whole face.

OOC: I'm confused Raptor, can we see you or not? If we can we'll just say we didn't notice you at first because of all the uhhh, distraction. But I only ask cuz there's only one peephole and someone's already looking through it.

[Guido Carosella]

Guido listened at the hidden door for a few moments, hearing footsteps and excited whispering fading away. Apparently the passage took a while to get to their, ahem, destination. He looked around the edge of the panel until he found a smudge of greenish goo covering a small button. Wrinkling his nose in disgust he mashed the button with his pinky finger and the panel popped loose. Switching off the hall light to avoid silhouetting himself, he opened the panel and squeezed into the narrow passage, shutting the door behind him.

His eyes took a moment to get adjusted to the dark. He was in some kind of pipe chase or utility corridor, with lots of pipes and conduits running the length of it. In the distance, a faint light shone around one corner, and he heard the whispering again.

Guido ground his teeth together in annoyance, and began inching his way towards the corner.

[Christine MacTaggart]

Christine stepped out of the shower and sat down. She pulled her towel off the hook and started to slowly dry herself off, concentrating primarily on her legs to start with.

[Gambit]

At Toad’s offhanded comment, Gambit’s eyebrows shot up. Striding forward, he grabbed Toad in one hand, and Pyro in the other, yanking them back from the wall. Giving them a hard look for a moment, his face quickly broke out into a grin.

“I t’ink it be my turn, mes amis,” he said, keeping his voice low. Turning, he put his own eye up to the hole, and there she was. Milky white skin glistening beneath water and suds, like beauty personified. Like a work of art, for all beauty is art, and all art is beautiful. But none more mesmerizing than the human body.

Dieu, elle est belle…

Just then, the door opened once more, and another figure entered the shower room.

“Hey Toad, guess who jus’ walked in,” Gambit said, grinning at the salivating mutant.

(OOC: You be up, Stormy!)

[Storm]

Storm entered the shower room, wearing a fluffy white towel that contrasted beautifully with her dark skin.

“I have been so tense lately, I feel like someone could easily snap me like a twig,” she said to the other girls, as she removed the towel, and stepped beneath one of the showerheads. Being one with the elements, she was not as affected by extreme cold and heat as most others, so the temperature of the water was of little consequence.

Pulling her long, silvery-white tresses over one shoulder, she attempted to knead the knots from her shoulders, under the running water.

[Christine MacTaggart]

"I say we do something naughty. We get dressed up, and go out to eat and leave the bill to be paid by one of the nice men here," Christine said, smiling. She was drying off her arms and enjoying the company of the females she was with. "We haven't had a single moment to ourselves."

[Snapcake]

“Oreo!!” Toad squealed and slapped a hand over his mouth. Fixing his hands on the wall he kicked both of the other two down the hall and hopped down to put his eye to the hole. His eyes bugged out of his head at the sight of her and he pulled away for a minute to hop up and down excitedly clapping his hands with a high pitched squeal again. Then he put his eye back to the hole. “That’s the stuff! Oh yeah-don’t forget to wash the…there ya go Oreo!”

He jumped up again and hit his head smartly on the ceiling, falling back down to the ground in a heap. Rubbing his head with his hand he smiled at the other two. “I think I’m in love.”<br>

[Christine MacTaggart]

Christine put down her towel and stretched, working the kinks out of her shoulders and back. "So very tempting to just sneak out and get Chinese food. That whole mess in the kitchen.." She shuddered.

[Gambit]

Gambit cringed as Toad made almost enough noise to wake the dead, upon learning that Storm had entered the picture. When silence had finally fallen over their little hideout again, Remy stayed alert, listening for any indication they had been discovered. What he did hear was something coming from the direction they had entered.

Footsteps? Well dey ain’t doin’ a very good job o’ bein’ sneaky, if dey tryin’ ta catch us. Maybe Lance decided ta join after all. Eit’er way, I ain’t stickin’ aroun’ ta find out…

With that thought, Gambit took one last look at Pyro and Toad fighting over the peephole, before slipping away unnoticed in the opposite direct they had come.

[roguejedi]

Larza shook the water out of her eyes as she stepped out, wrapping in a towel quickly as the chill reached her.

"Gah." she muttered, her nose still burning from the strongness of the flowerey shampoo. "It should be illegal to put that much scent in shampoo."

She wrapped her hair in another towel and pulled on her slightly wet-inside gloves.

[Christine MacTaggart]

Christine grabbed a bottle and tossed it to Larza. "Here, non-scented. Gets the job done." She smiled softly. "Hm... I wonder what he's doing," she murmured, sighing softly.

OOC: she's in love *sappy*

[Snapcake]

"Heyyyy, that Larza's got nuthin on but gloves. I bet she can really-" He was interrupted when Pyro tried to steal his place. "Watch it ya flamer!" He said trying to push him back. The two mutants fell to the floor struggling for rights to the peephole and cursing each other out.

Toad whipped his tongue out and wrapped it around Pyro's leg. Picking him up he threw him down the hall with it-right into the newcomer on the scene. Pyro bounced off of Guido like he was a brick wall.

[roguejedi]

Larza smiled faintly. "Thanks. He who?" she asked, wondering why she was getting involved in one of these 'girl talks'

She unwraped her hair after a bit, brushing it and tying it back into a low ponytail, to get it away from her face, then frowned as a momentary loss of control on her empathy came up with several strange emotions, then shook it off.

'I'm just tired.' she thought to herself, 'I'm thinking that I'm feeling things. Yup...'

[Christine MacTaggart]

Christine blushed shyly. "Boy I'm dating," she said softly. "Kurt Wagner..." she sighed. "Too bad we're both sixteen and restricted to G-rated cuddling. He looks like he'd be a tactile treat when mixed with satin sheets.(1)"

[roguejedi]

Had Larza been drinking something, she'd've spit all over the mirror laughing. Instead, she just tried not to fall over.

"Never heard him called that before!" she giggled. "You do know he's my brother, right?" she added.
