Autumn, Logan, and Derek are in the Rec Room doing various things. Autumn is lying on the floor, levitating a magazine above her head. Logan and Derek are engaged in a game of pool. "You know you shouldn't have said that, Derek," Logan advises him. "She left herself wide open for it!" Derek retorts. "I so did not," Autumn says. "You made an assumption anyway." "You accused her of using her powers just to find out what Chaosti is thinking, Derek. Don't you think that's a little low?" Logan questions as he takes his turn. Derek scoffs. "I may as well just not try anymore. I can't win with you two." "Thanks for finally realizing it, Rerun," Autumn says. ((Rerun is Linus' little brother for people who don't know. I thought it fit.))

Layali, Janelle, and Chaosti all walk in together - Layali is on Janelle's right and their arms are linked companionably, while Chaosti walks on Janelle's left and two paces behind. His hands are in his pockets casually, but there's a hard, almost territorial look about him. If anyone so much as looks at Janelle cross-eyed, he gives them a slashing look that's enough to make them back off quickly. Layali, meanwhile, is smiling and chatting with Janelle goodnaturedly - and not as strained and forcedly as when she'd first entered the Valentine's Day dance with her. Janelle is smiling softly and making occasional comments, though she still seems quite distant and remote from those around her. Spotting the others, Layali smiles and waves at them with her free hand and directs the path of the trio over towards the group.
Tris drifts into the room a few minutes later, frowning as she sniffs at the book she's carrying. She mutters to herself, "How the hell did fucking perfume get into my bag? God, even my book reeks.." She finds herself a beanbag over in a corner, sits cross-legged, and settles in to read. [Don't know if I'll actually use her in the scene.. But I thought I'd put her in the room just in case. And she needs more appearances anyhow, if just to be there.]

Katie entered. She looked around at the people, smiling. "Yay, humans!" She sat down near the pool table and started to watch Derek and Logan's game.

Autumn smiles at Chaosti when he comes in. She sits up and lets the magazine fall. Logan waves at Layali and Derek takes his turn before acknowledging the others' presence and smiling at Janelle. Autumn turns to Katie as she comes in. "Listen, sorry about... you know. I didn't mean it."

"S'alright. Can't blame you for being you, can i?" Katie laughed slightly. "I'll learn to deal with it." She smiled at her.

Autumn smiles. "I'll try to be more considerate too."

Layali smiles in greeting to Katie and says, "Hello," she and Janelle finding a sofa next to the pool table so they could watch the game. Janelle smiles lightly back and Derek and then lets ger gaze drift to the pool table, observing a bit curiously, having never played pool before. Chaosti goes and sits by Autumn, smiling at her though he's still tense and keeps watch over Janelle out of the corner of his eye, draconic energy crawling just underneath his skin as he remains on edge.

Katie grinned up at her and said hello back to Layali. Katie looked at Chaosti. "Dude... you got a rod stuck up your arse or something?"

Autumn looks over at Chaosti and sighs. "Lighten up. Me and Layali will get her out of here if anything happens. I need you and Logan to keep Derek in check though." Logan and Derek keep playing, though Derek tries to explain the game to Janelle as they go.

Chaosti sighs, trying to calm down, and says, "Sorry.. Just.. She smells of - erm.." Awkward. He lowers his voice. "'Moonsblood'. She smells vulnerable. Sort of sets my instinct to protect into hyperdrive." Layali and Janelle, meanwhile, continue to watch the game, Janelle nodding now and then to indicate her understanding.
[...i might be borrowing heavily from the Black Jewels Trilogy... *whistles innocently* well, I had to! i mean, Chaosti IS modeled after Lucivar.. and Janelle after Jaenelle..]
After a quick flurry of movement across her face, Tris suddenly stops reading, looks at the cover of the book, and pulls a face. She tosses the book aside, gets up, and begins to explore the room. After a little bit she opens a drawr and discovers, to her delight, a stock of artsy things. She grabs a crayon box and a few sheets of paper with a happy giggle. She looks around the room and, spotting Sam, promptly goes over to him and sits down on the floor nearby. "Hello," she says cheerily.

Autumn laughs. "Calm down. The most problematic thing in this room right now is Crowded Mind over there." After a few turns, Derek wins against Logan. "You were at an unfair advantage," Logan says. "You've had more opportunities to practice." Derek shrugs. "That's your own fault for not making time."

Chaosti turns, scanning the room, and then spots Tris. Turning back to Autumn he says, "I didn't even see her come in. Are you alright? Do we need to leave?" Layali smiles and asks, "What games are more to your expertise, Logan?"
"Yep," Tris says, opening the box of crayons then lifting it to her nose and taking a deep breath. With a bright smile she asks, "Don't you just love the smell of crayons?"

"Not yet," Autumn says. "She seems a little more subdued than normal and I'm blocking out a lot of it." Logan runs a hand through his hair. "Not many, actually." "Oh, come on. There has to be one," Derek says. "Well, ping pong was the only game I was allowed to play at the orphanage."

Chaosti nods and says, "Just let me know if it gets to be too much, and we'll get you out of here." "Maybe you two should try ping-pong, then." Layali says.
"I'm Lyssa," Tris-a.k.a-Lyssa says. She picks out a red crayon and begins to draw a house. "What're you reading?"

Autumn smiles at her boyfriend. "Of course." Derek looks a little uncomfortable. "No, really, that's fine." "Is little Derek afraid to lose?" Logan asks mockingly. "Of course not," Derek answers. "I just don't feel like playing anything anymore."

"Do we even have a ping-pong table in here?" Janelle asks, looking around the rec room. "We've got practically everything in here," Layali says.
"Oh." 'Lyssa' says. She stops drawing for a moment and looks down at the house, then says quietly in response to his comment about it being nice, "It isn't really.." She gives a small shrug and then, picking a darker red, starts to draw another, smaller building on the same paper, presumably a barn.
