Society of Justice 3: Crisis on the Earth

"Yea sure. Need to change myself anyway." Richard said with a laugh as he followed in behind her, leaving the display on the Meriwether for a later time. Richard took off his coat and placed it on the nearby hanger where it belonged.

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

"Garrus, I'd like to go change. Take care of Renton and make sure Patriot doesn't get with in an arm's length of him." Lillian said to Garrus before walking off to her own room.

Alex took off her belt and placed it on her dresser. "So what do you feel like doing other then me?" Alex joked taking off the top of the suit and hung it on it's rightful place on the manikin for her hero suit. After searching through her dresser she found the bikini she wanted to wear.

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

Eric walked back into the Promenade and smiled seeing Leland. "Hey Leland." Eric said giving him a wave and walked over to see him and Ethan. "Looks like you brought Ethan with you as well." he added.

Levi and Taryn made sure that the Merriweather was completely shut down and secure before descending the boarding ramp and meeting up with the others. He wasn't partial to the idea of a pool party himself, but he wouldn't let his opinion put a damper on everyone else's fun. As the group began to disperse, Levi looked at Taryn for a moment. He was sure that she wasn't necessarily enthused about the pool party either. Being electricity based superheroes, socializing in a pool full of water wasn't the best idea. "So...did you want to go to the pool party?" he asked her, wanting to make sure sure his assumption was correct.

 

[NeoAC]

"Yeah! Damn straight!" Brian rushed into the Promenade and made a beeline for his room. After all that mess, he was looking forward to some chilling in the pool with a nice cold beverage.

He got to his quarters and slammed the door behind him. Like a tornado, the clothes came off and just as quickly his Dominican print swimming shorts came on. The remnants of the whirlwind were now strewn across his room. "Whatever, I'll clean it up later." He grabbed a towel out of the pile in his bag and returned to the lobby. "All right, so where's the pool? I'm ready, I'm thirsty, let's do it."

 

[RBMidknight]

Taryn shook her head and grimaced. "No." she replied quietly. "I generally steer clear of large, medium, and small bodies of water. Electrocuting myself in the shower is one thing, I'd rather not find out what happens in a pool." She sighed quietly and leaned her head to one side, putting a hand to the back of her neck. "I'd really like to just...relax for a bit." Taryn continued. After a few seconds she straightened and looked toward the pool. "Preferably without the risk factor." 'The last thing I need is one of the recruits, or worse, angry at me...' she thought.

Tommy made a beeline out of the Merriweather like it was going out of style. He ran right through the lounge, past Garrus, Requim, and even Leland. When he was in the hall he suddenly started thinking. Garrus, Requim and Leland are in the lounge so they're going to be... Leland, HOLY SHIT LELAND IS HERE! Tommy let out a girly squee and jumped for joy, so powerfully that he went straight through the roof of the Promenade, and flew in such an arc that he then broke through again and was deposited in the lounge.

"Leland your back! How was your tour! Was it awesome! I bet it was!" Tommy squelled as he picked up Leland in a grand bear-hug.

Jason got off the ship with the rest of his team, giving his greeting to Leland and Ethan before retreating to his room. Using his large universal remote, Jason's wall-sized flat screened monitor faded on. Changing to a music channel, Jason let his loud, obscure, taste in music blare through his crystal clear surround sound system as he made his way to the bathroom, armor slowly receding and dissipating from his uncovered body. After a quick shower, Jason went to his dresser drawer, looking through them until he came across a pair of blue and black swimming trunks, a pair of tinted matching goggles in one of the pockets. Nodding in self-discovery, he put the article of clothing on, putting the goggles over his head, and letting them fall to his neck. Afterwards, he turned off his TV and left the room, making his way towards the pool.

 

[socialtangent]

Levi grinned and laughed a bit. "I thought as much...just making sure," he replied. "I'm not too big on that idea myself. Never was one for swimming, even before I got my powers". He liked Taryn's suggestion to relax, as that was something the two of them haven't been able to do for at least a week. "Uh, where do you wanna go then? Somewhere quiet?" he asked.

 

[tsatoma]

"Hmm Patriot didn't stay did he?" Garrus asked as Leland greeted Eric and Jason before Tommy came in and bear-hugged him (Leland thankfully getting the now full-grown Talbot to carry Renton as soon as he saw Tommy running towards him), getting a reply back that Patriot was too afraid of the Doctor to come inside, "Figures as much."

"Heya Tommy you silly guy! My tour's been over for a month now other than that small show a few weeks back. I've just been at the Lodge making my newest record~!" Leland replied back cheerfully as his best friend let him go, following along after his brother as they headed off to the pool.

Garrus led the way through the double doors and took a right down the living area hallway, opening the large doors to the indoor pool. He had Ethan drop off the coolers over to the side of the double Olympic-sized pool (with added jacuzzi, water slide, and diving board), and grabbed Renton from Leland who had gone from wearing a polo shirt and khakis into red swim briefs in less than a second.

"Seriously you're going to wear that?" Garrus asked with a raised eyebrow, Leland materializing some swim goggles onto his forehead as Talbot found a comfy spot to stay at near the coolers. Leland just smiled back before diving into the water and swimming around.

"Figures," Garrus muttered as he turned to go and get himself and his son changed, only to wind up face to face with the Doctor. He mentioned something about if there were any patients that needed healing, to which Garrus replied that they had all been healed by Brian. The Doctor was silent as he stared at Garrus before walking over to the jacuzzi and going into it stating he needed some time to think through this 'betrayal'. Garrus shrugged and walked out, shaking his head at the craziness of it all.

 

[RBMidknight]

Taryn winced as someone or something made a sound somewhat akin to a squeal. "Somewhere quiet would be very nice." she replied, with a slow smile. She blinked as Leland suddenly arrive at the pool area. 'When did he get back?' she wondered.

She knew there were a few places they could go. Though with the new recruits places like the lounge might be occupied. Taryn was silent for a moment. Then she grinned. There was an easy way to solve this dilemma. "You want to lead the way?" she asked. Taryn stepped closer to Levi.

 

[blaze96]

"Well I was figuring we would join the others and watch you in your natural habitat." Richard replied with a chuckle as he looked for a pair of trunks in his drawer of the dresser.

"Figured that would be rather interesting."

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

Lillian changed quickly and joined the others at the pool. Quickly finding a seat to set her towel on before diving into the deep end.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex laughed some and put on the rest of her bikini and put away her suit. "Na the bed is my natural habitat." Alex said wrapping her arms around him from behind, hands flowing down his chest and stomach.

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

Eric walked to his room and quickly changed into his swim trunks and walked to the pool and jumped in swimming around and sighed feeling better.

 

[socialtangent]

"I guess I will," Levi replied as he took Taryn's hand in his. Heading past the pool area, they entered the Promenade and walked through hallways. The sounds of their footsteps echoed through the empty halls. They stepped through the lounge and passed the double doors leading to the living quarters. Levi led Taryn down the hall until they reached the door to his room. "I figured we could relax on the couch and watch TV or something..." he said as he undid the lock to his door. After undoing the old-style manual lock, he opened his door and gestured for Taryn to step in. After she walked in, Levi followed her and closed his door and turned the lock. He knew by now to lock his door when he didn't want to be disturbed. "Well, here we are".

 

[NeoAC]

"Woo!" Brian exclaimed as he dived into pool, finally reaching his promised land. He surfaced, hovering briefly in his spot getting his bearings before swimming right over to the coolers that had been dropped off. He jumped up to be able to root through the ice before fishing out a MGD. "Eh, no Canadian beers, but this will do I guess." Dropping back down into the water, he tread water as he popped the top off and started drinking.

"Ah, much better," he said, the memory of that paint thinner he was given before slowly fading away.

 

[RBMidknight]

"Well, here we are".

Taryn smiled. While Levi locked the door she had continued walking toward the TV. Sliding off her jacket Taryn folded the garment lengthwise and draped it across the back of the couch. "Watching something sounds good." she replied. "Maybe a movie?" Taryn countered lightly. 'Or maybe some footage.' She slid her hand into her jacket and retrieved the small computer. As Taryn flipped the machine over a dim red light became visible on its side. 'Aww. Now where is...aha.' After a moment of searching around the TV Taryn retrieved one end of a thin white cord and plugged it into her computer. She left the machine charging on top of the DVD player and walked back to the couch to sit down.

 

[blaze96]

Richard couldn't help but laugh as he pulled out a pair of trunks to change into.

"I'm sure it is Alex. Right now though I'm going to go change into my swimsuit so that we can join the others." he replied.

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

Lillian was at this point was swimming in the pool and waiting for the inevitable clusterfuck to occur. In the meantime she was content with lazily floating in the water while it was still relatively calm.

 

[Lizmichi]

Alex smiled some. "Alright, I'll meet you at the pool then." Alex said walking out and joined the others at the pool. "aw water my best friend." Alex said jumping in the pool and swam around feeling at home. She made a small vortex around her after she popped back up to the surface.

 

[Captainguy42]

Tommy ran to his room, stripped off his clothes, and pulled on a pair of board shorts. He then ran to the pool at full tilt. When he was in the pool room he prepared to make a running jump into the pool, but as he tensed up to jump his foot slipped. In order to avoid face-planting into the deck he jumped at the last second, propelling himself into the pool arms-spinning legs flailing, looking more like he had just been thrown off a ship than anything else.

Tommy laned a few feet away from Lillian and sunk to the bottom of the pool before pushing off the bottom and surfacing.

"Hehe, that was a close one." He chuckled before submerging again and swimming to the wall underwater.

 

[socialtangent]

"I think you know full well how good we are at finishing movies," Levi said with a laugh as he took a seat on his couch. He watched Taryn plug her computer into the charger that she had previously left in his wall. Levi was meaning to tell her that she had forgotten it there, but it was of no consequence now. He smiled slightly as Taryn made herself comfortable next to him. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke up. "I'll let you pick something this time," he said as he reached for the remote sitting on his newly acquired coffee table. Handing Taryn the device, he leaned back again into the couch.

 

[RBMidknight]

"Thanks." Taryn said quietly as she took the remote and started flipping through Netflix's menu. "And we usually finish them...eventually." She finished with a grin. Though, since Levi had a good point she skipped the movies and went straight to the TV Shows. Several recommendations popped up, the software having chosen them based on 'recent viewings'. Taryn glanced at the box art and titles as they scrolled by then one in particular caught her eye. It reminded her of the Merriweather. The title art showed a crew of people in earth-tone clothing, a blue and green planet. And a spaceship that looked somewhat similar to a certain nocturnal insect.

"How about..an episode or so of this?" Taryn asked with her thumb poised over the
