Kids will play

[Oracle]

Christina led the kids to the living room and showed them where they kept the video games and movies.

Christina: We try to keep up with all the latest game systems, games, and movies that come out. There's also a pool table and some books and magazines to read.

She watched as the kids scattered to the various activities. Lockheed also flew off and fetched the remote to the TV. He began using his claws to operate the remote to turn the TV on and began flipping through channels to get to the right one to play video games. Christina just chuckled before she adressed the kids one more time.

Christina: Okay, guys. If you need us, we'll be in the room at the end of hallway.

Christina gave one last smile before leaving the room.

Elijah smiled as he entered the room. The room was, in his view, very pretty. He found the box with video game pretty quickly, and was making a mess of it, trying to have hold ever single game in there. "O! A space shooter for 2 bucks! and KungFu-Live! EA Sports active! and Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2!" Elijah imminently went lost in all the games.

Helena was laughing at Lockheed, and clapping her hands in joy at Lockheed's intelligent claw-operator skills. She looked at her small brother and took him from her sister's arms, placing him on the bench next to her. "What game do you want to play?" said the blond girl, while tickling him.

Haneka smiled at the sight of games, she forgot the words she heard before. She dove into the books, trying to find a book with a lot of pictures, hoping for one of Bumba, my little pony or one of the other little kid series.


Christina was quickly forgotten, as Elijah put a game called 'Sing-Star' on, and started to figure out how he selected the song he wanted. Witch caused a little fight, as Helena wanted a different song. Haneka got meddling with them selecting a different song, only to have it end by Lars, who used his Mutant powers to select to song HE wanted.

Helena rose her hand up high, dancing while she was singing.
Haneka laughed, she grabbed the second micro, and screamed into it, as loud as she could, while following her sister's dance moves.
Elijah laughed, but very quickly covered his ears, since BOTH his younger sisters where now screaming in the micros's. Lars seemed to enjoy himself and all the screams. Not something he hadn't heard before, so he decided to join in.
Elijah couldn't stay behind, so he started to yell, rather then scream.

Elijah jumped on his feet (still covering his ears) and started to yell and dance with his sisters. The sing-along program was kinda going "you are scoring no points" but luckily, it wasn't freaking out. Lars was cheerfully clapping his hands, and the rhyme of the screams.

When the kids started playing games, Lockheed watched from the arm on the couch. When the kids started screaming to have fun, Lockheed flew over to the bookshelf to get further away before lowering his head to cover his ears.

[nixly]

Helena stopped screaming, and wondered what happened to Lockheed. Where was her new little friend? "Lockheed?" Her voice sounded more like a normal conversation tone, and she tossed -kids- the micro aside, and went looking for him. "Lockheed? Lockheeeed!" Thou her tone wasn't as loud as when she was screaming, it was still more a yell. Better the the scream.
Haneka realized pretty soon that her sister was gone looking for something. She looked around to see what was missing, when she heard her sister say: "Lockheed?" She realized it was Lockheed that had gone missing. She imminently tossed her micro aside, and fell down on the ground, checking to see if he didn't hide under the bench or table. "Lockheed?" Her voice was questioning, asking. She continued her search on her knees and hands, to find him somewhere on the floor.
Elijah hesitated to follow in his sister's idea to find Lockheed, but instead, he selected a new song, the one he wanted in the first place, and picked up one of the micros's that his sisters tossed on the floor. He started to sing, rather then scream. He wasn't a very good singer, but neither a bad singer. He actually scored some points this time!
Lars didn't quite understand why everybody stopped the fun game. He really didn't quite understand. But like most little kids, his attention span was to short to hold it long, and he forgot the game. He discovered a new one: catching your own tail!

[Shadowcat]

Lockheed picked his head up when he heard the girls calling for him. The screaming had decreased so it no longer hurt his ears. He peered from the top of the bookcase and saw the two girls looking for him around the room. He began flying overhead quietly to sneak up on them. He landed on top of Helena's head and lightly grunted. <Tag, you're it.> He then took off flying around Haneka before flying around the room.

[nixly]

Helena let out a screech in surprise when Lockheed landed on her head. <Tag, you're it.> She moved her hands to her head, to catch the little dragon, but realized he was already flying around. She was turning her little head around, trying to see where the dragon set off to.

Haneka got up at her sister's scream; she looked around in surprise. She didn't see Lockheed on her sisters head, but she did see him when he suddenly appeared to be flying around him. She giggled the lill'girls giggle, making her body small enough so Lockheed wouldn't bump into to her. (or at least, she toughed she needed to do that.) Her eyes followed him while he flew trough the room. She giggled, showing a pretty smile, while her silky hair fell in front of her eyes.

Lars noticed the flying dragon, and he started to float up, levitating himself to wards the dragon. He giggled and laughed; he remembered this creature from the kitchen. Lot of fun and pretty light did the creature make!

Helena did remember what Lockheed told her. She ran to her sister (knocking over a few objects in the room) and stretched her arm as far as she could. "Tag, You're it!!" Before running away from her sister. When she saw Lars levitating up, trying to reach for the dragon. She laughed, and tried to climb up so she could reach Lockheed too.

Haneka laughed in joy; this was fun! She quickly deiced who to tag. Not Helena, but Lars! She looked around in the room, wondering what she could use to get up high enough so she could reach Lars. That was, until she saw her other elder brother. Elijah was still playing with the sing star game. She ran over to him, touched him and said: "TAG! you're it!" She ran away from her brother, trying to climb up to get out of her brother's tagging hands.

(Jack made his way from the front office to the living room. The kiss still very much on Jack's mind. Suddenly, the moment he stepped into the living room, the thought had disappeared. He looked at the chaos. The collection of books, movies, and video games were scattered every where. He looked and spotted the kids.)

Mindcotrol: What's going on in here?

[Shadowcat]

Lockheed continued flying away from the children after instigating the game. The two girls were chasing after him and the baby was levitating to reach him. But he came to a stop when he heard Jack enter the room. He realized that things were starting to get a little crazy with the running/flying around. Lockheed flew down onto the coffee table, hoping that the kids would follow suit and stop.

[Mindcontrol]

(Jack was about to question the kids on the mess when he received a mental message from Kitty.)

I'm... in the living room right now. Is everyone okay?

(After he send his message to Kitty, Jack turned to Lockheed.)

Mindcontrol: Kitty just got home and the last thing she needs to see is this mess.

(Jack turned to Helena and Elijah, the two children that appeared to be the oldest of the bunch.)

Mindcontrol: Help me get this place cleaned up before Auntie Kat finds out or their will be no dessert for any of you. That includes you too Lockheed.

(Jack started cleaning by picking up various books from the ground with his telekinesis. He then placed them in the book shelves where they belonged.)

[Shadowcat]

Lockheed was excited to hear that Kitty was back. He always hated to be separated and he wanted to fly straight to her. But Jack had asked him to help clean. So Lockheed nodded his head and grunted. He walked over to a lamp that one of the kids had knocked down and miraculously not broken. He grabbed it in his claws and flew the lamp back to its place on the end table.

[Mindcontrol]

(Once Jack had finished with the books, he began placing the various movies and video games back to their proper spots. Jack didn't really care in what order they were placed. He made a mental note to himself that he would have to come back later and organize them properly.)

[Shadowcat]

Lockheed quickly picked up his head. He heard her coming before he could see her. He immediately took flight and would have flown right into her if Kitty hadn't phased.

Shadowcat: OH! Lockheed, don't surprise me like that.

Lockheed made a quick U-turn and came to rest across Kitty's shoulders. He nuzzled his head on her neck.

Shadowcat: Yes, I missed you too.

She looked up and found Jack and the kids cleaning up the living room.

Shadowcat: Oh, hi everyone. Ummm Jack, can we talk in private?

[Mindcontrol]

(At the corner of Jack's eye, he saw Lockheed fly across the room. He turned around and spotted Kitty standing by the doorway. He finished putting the last of the video games and movies back before approaching her.)

Mindcontrol: Yeah sure.

(Jack turned to the kids and smiled.)

Mindcontrol: Continue cleaning, I'll be right back.

(Jack walked out of the living room and looked at Kitty.)

Mindcontrol: We should probably talk some where else. Let's go to the kitchen.

[Shadowcat]

Shadowcat: Sure.

Kitty led the way as they went into the kitchen.
