"Don't mess with me, man!"
Maybe it would have sounded frightening if it weren't for the squeaking crackle at the end of the word 'man'. Probably not. Bobby stepped back a step and fired off a shot instinctively. The water came out of the gun very slowly and then stopped just inches away from the target's face...frozen solid.
Bobby was breathing smoke with wide eyes. "Th-that was a warning shot." Yeah. Not a surge of power based out of fear...a warning shot sounded better.

Alexis blinked as the shot came at her then froze inches from her face. Her breath hitched slightly, but it evened out a moment later. "What did you do?" she asked.
Her orb swirled around, changing from white and purple to black. It stretched and slithered, forming into an elongated shape. The curve of a human body came into view and pale skin took the place of the swirling orb.
White baggy cargo pants and a short-sleeved purple hoodie formed after she fully came into view. Black skater shoes and a silver chain necklace finished off her ensemble. Raven hair fell around her shoulder and emerald-green orbs stared at him beneath black death-like rings.
"I'm not a man," she said as she place both hands on her slender hips and shifted her weight to one side.

Bobby Drake had seen Poltergeist five times. The part where the dude was standing in the mirror and those maggot thingies started eating his Kentucky fried still gave him the crawlies! Man! This didn't seem like the same kind of dealio. But for whatever reason it never occurred to him for one second that he was looking at a fellow mutant.
"What did I do??"
The frozen stream of water waved back and forth as he spoke.
"How do I know this wasn't some kind of spirit trick or something?" His eyes followed her form as she materialized. Definitely a chick...right down to the hands on hips and the whole chick attitude thing. Man, even ghost chicks did that!
"I'm not a man."
"I see that," he said and then looked back up at her eyes. "Wish I could say the same." He said it with confidence and then tried to figure out what the hell it meant. It sounded like he just burned himself! "I mean, I am a man."
Wait a minute! He was talking to a dead person! Panic prompted him to speak his first thought.
"You watch me when I'm naked!"

Her eyes narrowed as his eyes looked her up and down. She didn't like that crawly feeling you get whenever someone is looking at you, even for a moment. She shook her head at his comment. "No, it's not a 'spirit trick or something,"' she said, rolling her eyes.
Her expression changed within a moment's notice as he said, "Wish I could say the same."
She took note that he quickly corrected herself and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Her arms dropped to her stomach as it began to burn with pain at her laughter. She quickly regained herself and wiped a finger under her eye. "I see that," she said, quoting him from earlier.
"You watch me naked!"
Her body resumed its previous position, hands on hips as she looked him up and down. He wasn't bad looking, but not like she would ever admit that. "What is there to watch?" she asked, smirking slightly.

Whoever (or whatever) this was, found Bobby's comments amusing. He narrowed his eyes just a little in indignity. If she thought she could just float in here and mock Bobby Drake, she had another thing coming! He didn't care if she was Caspress the friendly ghost or not. Oh man, that was funny. He'd have to remember that one.
"What is there to watch?"
He covered his mouth at the burn and shook his head. "Daaaaaayyyyyymn, oh no you didn'!"
She was messing with the King of Burns here. Ghost or not, she was dead! Ooh, that was a good one too! He'd have to remember that one. "Anyone ever tell you how transparent you are? I can see right through yøu."
Proud of himself, Bobby Drake smirked and crossed his arms.
"BababaBURN!"

Alexis just smirked and rolled her eyes. This guy was really amusing and he was already crazy. This was going to be fun.
"Daaaaaayyyyyymn, oh no you didn'!"
She nodded her head. "Yes I did," she replied cooly as her smirk continued to grace her pale features.
She couldn't help but feel as if this guy either had no brain or no life. Telling by the jokes he cracked, he seemed to have neither, in her own opinion.
"Anyone ever tell you how transparent you are? I can see right through yøu."
She didn't move, she didn't think or breath as the joke passed through her ears. Her smirk grew into a full blown smile then she burst out laughing. It was harder to regain her composition this time. "That was great! That was really funny!"

Bobby looked genuinely confused. He'd gone from the glory of the burn to outright conflustion in no time flat. His big problemo right now was that he didn't know if the ghost chick was making fun of him.
"It was?"
He quickly recovered however. "It was!" For the time it seemed like he'd forgotten that he was talking to the undead. "There's more where that came from," he reassured her with a proud smile. "Humor," he explained, "I'm full of it!"

She grinned and put crossed both arms over her chest. "Yeah, it was," she said, grinning. She giggled at his confusion.
"It was!" She heard him burst.
She took note of his proud smile. "Really? And you also seem full of yourself too," she said, her smile widening. "And I'd like to hear more...if there is any," she said, winking. She had no interest in the ice boy, but it was just her flirtatious side coming out.

When a chick winked at you it meant a couple of things. First off it meant that they wanted you, which Bobby Drake took for granted. But it also meant that they were trying to play you. And well, Bobby was the player of players. He was actually an official 'playa' when it came right down to it.
He learned that, like most of his vernacular, from his Best of Hip Hop videos. They were the bomb, yo.
But Bobby got a little wary, and then he remembered why he was scared in the first place. "Look, I don't mean to be rude or anything...but do you need someone to show you the light? I saw it in a movie one time. This little midget lady was like a psychic or something and there was this little blonde girl who got sucked into the television static and they had to throw a rope through some shampoo looking stuff and pull her out. What's it like? Does it hurt?"
Bobby was really interested in the afterlife. He didn't show it, but he was a really deep person.

She blinked and cocked her head to the side. "Show me the light? Midget lady?" she asked, her voice high pitched.
The glare she sent him was one that could peel paint off of walls. Her expression darkened instantly as realization came into view.
"You think I'm dead?!" she growled as her upper lip twitched in a snarl. She stalked over to him, glaring up at him with eerie emerald orb. "I'm not dead!" she yelled, her high pitched voice booming off of the elaborate walls.

Oh great. Now the ghost chick was all up in arms about him thinking she was dead. Bobby didn't know what kind of ghost powers she had, but he was pretty sure he didn't want to find out. Holding up his hands to ward her off, he smiled nervously.
"Okay, cool...cool, okayokay."
But he scratched at his head as he tried to puzzle out some facts. Then he looked at her quizzically. "Are you sure?" He held up his hands immediately. "I mean...you look like a ghost, you fly like a ghost, you turn invisible like a ghost..." He shrugged. "It could be worse. You could be..."
He couldn't think of anything worse.
"A zombie?"

So he thought she was a zombie? This guy had watched too much TV in her opinion. Her eyes narrowed on him and she sighed loudly. "No, I'm not a freakin' zombie!" she exclaimed, flailing her arms about.
Yeah, she had powers of a ghost, but did that exactly make her a ghost. No! And sure, her features were pretty ghostly. Pale skin, black circles around her eyes, not to mention her thinness made her seem more haunting.
"I'm a...mutant," she retorted, her voice muffled slightly.

Okay then. Not a ghost, not a zombie. What was she? When she answered that question it was with a voice slightly muffled, and Bobby wasn't quite sure he understood her. A moment of awkward silence passed as he tried to understand what it was she had said.
"D-"
Man, this was going to sound stupid.
"Did you just say you were Moodin?" He shook his head a little. No comprendo. "Is that some kind of undead thing?"

"Did you just say you were Moodin?" She heard him ask.
Her head snapped up, face twisted in confusion. "What the?" she asked. This conversation was getting more stupid by the second. "What the heck is a moodin?"
She really had the urge to blast this guy backwards, but this room seemed really expensive and she didn't want to blow up anything.
"I said I'm a mutant!" she yelled. Hopefully, this time he would hear her.
