Sunshine and Butterflies (Alexis/open)

[Gabriel Seran]

Okay the title is a lie, I assume that would be kosher for the way the two characters in this scene interact. So let us begin our weaving tale of mischief and mayhem.

A bright sunny day, much like those you have seen on channels that depict California to always be like, yes it was exactly like that but for now at the low level of elevation at Moral Crest High school the area was so thick with fog that you could hardly see what lie before you. Gabriel Seran marched off on a daily trip to his new school or what he could now consider home being there a whooping seven days a week thanks to the grand dictation of Mr. Purple. Scores weren't high enough we'll rather than actually working to elevate the scoring level like any good (and smart student) Gabriel decided to do the opposite, incite riots and convince people to fail in spite of Purple's requests. Civil disobedience was a bitch and so was Gabriel's willpower.

Today was rather overcast with the fog entrapping the scurrying students that milled about the lawn. Gabriel sat out of class to pursue a more avid interest. mainly his plotting, though things were working out far more strangely to an extent sides were getting muddled and yet more defined the riots were causing havoc. his ranks were soon to be bolstered. Walking through the open space he hadn't expected to bump into anyone though there was the hope that he could turn another student to his plans. Like a religion to him it had almost become he wouldn't rest till the time came when he could take full control of whatever lie at his feet.

*bump*

"Oh I'm sorry." he never apologized but he had been muddled in a trance of thoughts and fog.

[Alexis Green]

Alexis was skipping school today, along with a big population of the other students. Seemed a lot of kids here hate school.. But meh, it was Alexis' last year in school, so it wasn't that important to her.

She was jogging instead though. She didn't know where a proper track was; so, she just jogged around the school grounds. Music was pumping in her ears and the fog was blinding her. She could barely see her own hand infront of her face it was so bad.

"Half an hour left of jogging, then I should be going home.." she murmured to herself as she squinted at her watch.

*Bwamp*

"Ouf!" wow, second time she did that to somebody. She really had to watch wear she was going... She skidded back, landing on her ass and her head phones (along with the musical device) went flying another direction. She flinched when she heard it crack.

"Oh I'm sorry." she got up, dusting herself off as she tried to see who it was.

"Um...K..what ever... " she lost interest when she didn't know who the stranger was so paid attention to her broken MP3 player.. Lexie picked it up and tried sticking a broken peice off, back it its place. Though it didn't say.

"Agh just my luck..."

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel didn't feel too much impact from the interaction though he stood stoic bearing over the small looking woman's body as she scrambled for the pieces to her broken mp3 player. Gabriel moved to crouch down and help her piece it back together though he wasn't quite one for technology. He turned his face up to look at the reaction from his accidental acquaintance.

"Sorry about that I'll make it up to you, need a new..... Have I seen you before?" Gabriel flinched aside recognizing an apparent similarity between this girl and the one he'd met merely a few days ago.

She was a brunette Olivia and certainly less battered as well. Had she recovered that quickly. Suspicion entered his mind spreading dissent amongst his brain, had it all been a ploy to raid his house. He eyed her cautiously to await a good reaction.

[Alexis Green]

The boy crouched down to help her with the mess of her device and looked up at her. "Sorry about that I'll make it up to you, need a new..... Have I seen you before?"

MUST...RESIST...URGE...TO... LIE!

"I think so... You look really familiar... sorry I'm bad with names..."

Thought I had more will power than that.... Nah I didn't...

"I'm terribley sorry..What is your name again.?" Pick random letter... "It starts with an S right?" the look on her face seemed like she was actually concerned and seemed she was actually trying to remember who he was. When she got the chance to do identity theft, she would take it. Ever since she was a young buck....

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel cocked a brow in a defensive method. "Olivia?" Gabriel questioned inquisitively taking a defensive step back as if he may come under some kind of danger he didn't trust this abrupt shift there was no way the girl could have that bad of a memory and if she did what explained that she shifted so fast into a totally healthy apparel. If it was Olivia he'd be certainly thrown off his center of gravity.

"Its me Gabriel, you don't remember yesterday?" He gave her a sharp demanding look.

There were many similarities, though the woman before him evidently was someone different. The most apparent was the different hairstyles and body form. Olivia the day before was in a horrible condition where this one seemed to be handling herself normally. He was cautious and set on edge. Giving her that deadly, Watch what you say it could be used against you, face.

[Alexis Green]

"Olivia?" Alexis smiled timidly, when really evil thoughts bubbled to mind. Since when did Olivia make friends? Oh this is a treat indeed. It will be a lot more easy to pretend to be somebody else, when she knew who they were.

"Its me Gabriel, you don't remember yesterday?" Alexis' eyes shifted and she got up quickly and took a step back, looking like a scared girl.

"Grabriel. I...I I don't remember yesterday..." she pointed at him though, with squinting eyes. Hopefully he would believe she had that disease where she forgets things right off the bat.. what ever the hell it is called...

"What, what what, did we do?" the mockery of fear in her eyes could be very believeable. After all she had many upon many years of lying and acting...

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel was throne off by the odd shift, indeed she mimicked the girl well but still he was suspicious unsure where to move along to. Gabriel had many enemies, especially at this school so he'd grown to live with suspicion at his side, use it as a tool. If it was Olivia she'd simply prove him wrong if it was an impostor he'd have won out the game in the end. Now to deliberate the serious level of the question.

Eyeing her with a straight face he spelled the words out without hesitation being a good liar himself he didn't suspect any problems, "We had sex most of the night, then I drove you home... don't you remember the flowers I left you?" he gave a coy poker face secretly hoping to God it wasn't really her, if it was he'd be in trouble for sure, or if it was anyone close to her. Screwed.

[Alexis Green]

"We had sex most of the night, then I drove you home... don't you remember the flowers I left you?"

Alexis' jaw dropped. Yeah she thought Olivia should get some, but this guy seemed too arrogent and didn't seem to really care. And Olivia have sex!? She wouldn't even give a handshake to a girl! She never thought she would get so sisterly-protective over her sister but...

*Smack*

Alexis thought Olivia deserved better. She was too innocent and so..so not corrupt... Alexis certainly did not want this guy doing anything to her. If the slap actually made contact she would cut the Olivia act and have a serious expression.

"Don't you dare talk about my sister that way!"

[Gabriel Seran]

*Smack*

Saw that one coming... Gabriel's face had a rush of blood to it the outline of a hand across his face. He turned back forward to see eye to eye with the Olivia impostor. Still he hadn't gotten anywhere though he had successfully become an asshole again.

"Don't you dare talk about my sister that way!"

Gabriel recovered quickly from that speaking before he thought it through, "Well than I thought that would smoke out the liar, play one to catch one I guess." Gabriel said with a wicked smirk.
He hadn't known that she'd had a sister he supposed they were twins than, perfectly opposites he would assume as well seeing as Olivia had been dealing with her hard time keeping from saying the truth and this one had just played the act of impostor.

[Alexis Green]

"Well than I thought that would smoke out the liar, play one to catch one I guess." her teeth barbed. Why was she getting so protective? The smirk on his face was not help calming her nerves any. It was just making her a lot more annoyed. He might be stronger than her, but if he showed any interest in Livi, Alexis would be sure not to let anything happen in between them.

"Yet I have a perfectly good reason as to why I'm lying. And how do I know you are telling the truth?" her green eyed glare was peircing and she was not yet calming. "What did you do to Livi?" she knew damn well Olivia would keep her mouth shut if anything bad happened to her, especially if she were threatened.

"I sware to God if you hurt her. I will cut off your pride and joy." she would suspect her knew what his "pride and joy" was... after all it usually is for many many guys.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel didn't flinch at the threat he'd had a similar experience though it involved a teacher and a .44 caliber aimed at his crotch. He gave her a defensive sneer. The woman was calling him out despite the fact that she was the hypocrite in this situation.

"I merely fed her and gave her some attention, something she seems to be lacking..." His eyes traced her wondering if this was the reason for all of Olivia's scars and destroyed condition.

"The real question is what have you done to her?" He shot an accusing glance standing at his full height prepared for anything.

[Alexis Green]

"I merely fed her and gave her some attention, something she seems to be lacking..." attention? Olivia gets plenty of attention, she just can't get it in her head people care about her.

"The real question is what have you done to her?" Ok...Do not jump him, do not jump him.

"I took her in to live with me after there was a little accident back home." Alexis didn't need to tell him the personal reason as to what the accident was. Alexis grew up with the exact same treatment, but had reacted in a different way. It was completely unfair to throw all the blame onto her shoulders.

"And you don't even know me, how dare you judge me and assume I would beat my own sister!" Olivia was the only person she was close with when she used to live back in Canada. Though they started drifting apart when they would go behind each other backs to get each other introuble. That only made it that much easier to abandon her family when she was 14. Though it still hurts to see her sister bruised like that everyday. A nice little reminder on what alexis could have helped with.

Alexis knelt back down and tried to finish picking up her MP# pieces so she could get the hell out of there. He was stronger, it was obvious going by sexist standards, and she would get herself hurt if she stayed.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel wasn't quite sure what to think, on one level he wanted to make an apology and make amends because truth was he didn't know her and it was too much to accuse her of beating her family. Though he had seen the brothers abuse, torture and kill their own families in his time underground. Far worse things were possible. He squeezed his lids shut closing out the world. Hands barred his face as he thought.

"You're right I don't know you, though what was I to expect?" he retorted half apologetic and half accusing, "She was in pretty bad shape when I saw her, is she doing better?" his voice turned more concerned.

He bent over again to help collect the broken mp3. If in fact she was who she said she was Gabriel may have compensated for her stumble he felt guilty for his trespasses.

[Alexis Green]

"You're right I don't know you, though what was I to expect?" Her teeth were clenched as she picked up the remains of the MP3 player, "She was in pretty bad shape when I saw her, is she doing better?"

He could try and apologize to Alexis, but it was too late. Alexis bases her friendship on first, second, third, fourth, and so on and so forth, impressions. If he pissed her off right off the bat, she hated you. Unless there was a change in things. Only time she changed her mind about liking someone was Reira. But Reira saved her life. Li was an acception too, but that is because Alexis liked him right off the bat, and never really stopped.

"Yeah, courtesy of my dead dad....And she is getting better." it was weird when Livi told Alexis of their father's death. Alexis thought she should feel remorse or even grief... but she didn't. She was glad the world had been one dangerous man free. He looked down at her hands to notice them trembling. She was that mad.

"Sorry, I have Pseudologia fantastica." she wasn't really apologizing. She was just letting it been known why she had lied, to blow his arrogent ass out of the water. Though she made it sound like she was saying sorry.

[Gabriel Seran]

Dead father, that must have been tough, though if he had been behind the beatings Gabriel was at the very least glad for that much. He bobbed his head sorely trying to act unaltered though now he felt a bit more guilty for his actions. He would never fully apologize being one who accepted his actions for what they were if he was to actually form an apology it would come in another form.

"Sorry, I have Pseudologia fantastica."

Gabriel looked up skeptically, "And that means what exactly?", his french voice perked up with the added cautiousness in his words.
