Skateboarding the musical ~ ON ICE (open)

[Maisie Pryce]

"LET IT GO!! LET IT GOOOOOO, CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOOORE!!!" Maisie crooned (off-key and out of tempo) as she careened over the concrete sidewalk that led to the courtyard. She'd been navigating some of the lesser known walkways for the better half of an hour trying to get a feel for the icy conditions and was more or less able to keep herself from slipping on the iced over parts. Luckily the school seemed to enjoy salting all the walkways so that made it ever so much easier to speed down them at breakneck speeds as she was wont to do.

She kept “singing” at the top of her lungs and took a jump down a set of stairs, barely missing a couple holding hands that were coming up. She was starting to get hungry, she should swing around the courtyard and head back to the cafeteria so that she could eat. As she decided that this decision was the best she saw that she was coming up to a part of the courtyard where she could circle on her skateboard without having to get off and turn around. However, she saw it just as she was hollering “THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY!” and wasn’t really in a position to change her direction so abruptly. As a result her skateboard wobbled beneath her, hit a snag and sent her tumbling head over heels into a nearby snowdrift that had melted down and hardened from the last few days of rain, snow, sunlight and freezing temperatures. She managed to catch herself but slipped, her face sliding against the hard ice.

There was a muffled curse, a grunt and then another curse as she finally righted herself and patted her face. Other than a raw spot on the side of her forehead and her lip she wasn’t bleeding. She could tell that there would be some pretty nice bruises on her knees from her landing but other than that she did not seem to be overly hurt. She looked around to see if anyone had seen her and found that yeah…pretty much everyone in the area had seen her sail over the concrete, screeching “Let it Go” before she had spectacularly face planted.

Naturally Maisie did the only thing she could do in the situation. She took a bow.

[Scarlett West]

Scarlett enjoyed the quiet. It's not that she didn't enjoy people.. it's just that she didn't enjoy most people. Honestly, people were only a distraction when she needed to get things done and this was one of those get things done type of day. She had to sit down and devise a new workout plan that allowed for her powers training alongside it. Scar was hoping she'd get some kickboxing lessons in there too. She was beginning to see how people tended to call her a 'type A' personality. Whatever, she'd be damned if she let something as important as health slip through the cracks. 

She settled on a nearby bench, one that seemed far enough from the commotion and snow. She would normally prefer to stay inside on these cold days, seeing as the cold made the poor girl uncomfortable and achey, but she was feeling especially warm today. So, she slipped into her pink coat and pinned her hair into an intricate braid on the top of her head, so as to keep it out of the way. Once comfortable (as comfortable as she could be in her wedges in the freezing temperature) she took out her notepad from her bag and began to plot her timetable. Everything was going well.. until she heard a screeching sound. Scar lifted off her sunglasses and glared around, looking for the culprit. They were definitely going to get an earful. 

Just as she spotted the offender, Scarlett watched the nuisance go flying off her board into the snow. Karma definitely was on Scar's side these days. She half smirked, maybe the pop-star-in-training wouldn't need a talking too after all. She seemed to do enough damage herself. The brunette was still highly unimpressed, however, even after the skateboarder took a bow. Scarlett moved from her seat and strutted over to the scratched up person. 

"That was a cute show," she smirked and raised an eyebrow, "but I think that was your cue to exit stage right. Some people enjoy the peace." Scarlett wasn't known for her kind words, but this was much better than facing her nasty temper. 

[Maisie Pryce]

Maise was just brushing herself off after her bow when she was approached by a girl in a pink coat. Maisie assumed that perhaps the witness was concerned and was doing a polite, though unnecessary check up, but no. Maisie looked up at the barely taller girl and blinked for a moment. It's not that she didn't know what to say, she just needed a moment to edit it. She had also made a split second judgement about the girl in question due to her behavior and was busy filing it away.

She kicked her board up into her hands and smiled. "Wow, you see a girl sail through the air and face plant in a block of ice and your first instinct is to insult them? Man, that's cold," she shrugged. "Ah well, sorry about that. I'm getting ready to leave anyway so you don't have to worry about me bleeding all over the place and disturbing the "peace". To be fair, it's not like it ever stays quiet around here so enjoy it while you can!" Maisie gave the girl a little wave as she threw her board down again. "LET IT GOOOOOO!!! LET IT GOOOOO CAN'T HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOORE!!" Maisie started singing again as she turned away and headed back towards a set of stairs that would go down again. She's find another place to turn around. At least until she took a detour she could annoy the shit out of someone so fantastically rude and self-centered as the girl in the pink coat.

[Lucas Blacke]

''Let it go~!''

Goddammit! Who was singing that goshdarn overused song? Not that he didn't like it, this voice just managed to slightly ruin it. Though he was sure most people would see his preferred version as ruining it.

As usual the cold didn't bother him aside from being a bitch to his immune system as he braved the weather wearing nothing but a shirt. People would call him nuts, he didn't care though as his controlled vibrating would keep him warm. Getting sick was also something he hadn't done since Marnie. He wondered how she was.. Probably being best friends with Karalie and crying over the best boyfriend ever.

..okay so he wasn't that. But at least there was someone now who loved him for who he was, and that was enough for him for the time being. Saying that there wasn't plenty of doubt in his mind was a lie, he thought plenty about who would pick him with all his flaws. He was glad when they did though, but he'd inevitably fuck it up. As always.

He marched to the source of the noise. Yeah, noise. He, as a singer, could say that, he was allowed. When he came upon the girl with a skateboard being talked to for some reason by a girl with a pink coat and.. sunglasses? In this weather? Luke shrugged, he shouldn't really judge with him wearing just a shirt in this weather, he supposed.

Queue the awkward Lucas-decision. The girl on the ground had obviously been the one blaring the song around, and if not she still had a skateboard so it was a given she knew how to have fun. But the pink dressed one.. was a bit odd to wear sunglasses, but from behind she looked hot. Oh and what little he saw from her face was okay too. So what to do? Join the skateboard girl in having fun, or impress the hot pink one? Decisions.

He sat down on the bench behind the girl as he merely looked at the girls as they talked. Talked? Close to yelled. Big deal, he just wanted to know who was worth showing off for. ''Girls.'' He said as cool as possible. ''Stop fighting, enough Luke to go around.'' Luke laughed as he winked at both of them.

[Scarlett West]

Scarlett knew she should have probably been remorseful or guilty for condescending the injured girl, but really the only thing she felt was a headache coming on. She lifted her manicured fingers to her temples and rubbed them. If this brat insisted on being a nuisance she should at least come with Advil handy. "My first instinct was to scorch your eyebrows off, but I figured this would be much nicer," she replied with a phony bright smile, "besides, you seem alright. You're talking and breathing." Scar let her blue eyes give her a once over before nodding approvingly. Yeah, the girl was totally fine if she was already singing again. 

"Seriously?" She deadpanned and glared holes into the back of the squelching girl's head. The brunette patted the top of her head and adjusted the glasses that rested on the top, feeling her temper rising. 

For a moment, Scarlett seriously contemplated trying to melt the tires on the girl's skateboard. But that would be property damage and a possible legal issue and blah blah blah... Too much work. 

"Try not to bleed everywhere please, it'll ruin your clothes," she gave her another once over and inwardly snickered. It's not like her clothes would be a huge loss anyway. 

Before she could dish out another snarky comment, she heard a male's voice from behind. Scar whipped around and stared at the culprit. He was cute. Cute enough to be flirting with both of them at the same time? Yet to be determined. "Oh good," she smirked, playing along, "that's what we were really worried about, after all." 

[Maisie Pryce]

Maisie started laughing again as she skated boarded. "Really? 'Scorch my eyebrows off?' Somehow I don't think you mean that colloquially. Which meeeans...." She stopped and disembarked her board again. "You're the typical school yard bully. If you're the bully that makes me the heroine!" Maisie smiled brightly. This was exciting, she always wanted to be the hero! Luckily too at that moment another student named Luke popped up.

"Ah! Fantastic! This just keeps getting better! Okay so, you're the bully, I'm the hero right? Which means that THAT guy, is totes in love with me!" She explained. "Yo! Hot guy I've never met before 'sup?" She asked "But!" She turned to pink coat girl again, "even bad guys need love yeah? That's what makes them good? And frankly before feelings develop physical appearance is important and between the two of us you are obviously better looking today!" She added, the coat was cute and despite how rude she was the girl was very well put together.

"Hey Luke right?" Maisie asked, leaving off talking with the other girl (and getting out of range if possible) to go sit next to him. She plopped down on the bench and put her hands in her pockets. "You see that girl right there? She's cute right? But she's kinda rude. Since you're offering and I am the benevolent hero I think you should choose her." Maisie explained. She felt good, as the hero she was doing her good deed of the day! The situation had turned out okay after all! OPTIMISM!

(Pardon any spelling issues, my phone is not the best to write on but I was excited)

[Lucas Blacke]

Uhh, why was the one he thought would be fun talking to him like he loved her? She looked.. outside of his price range if anything, unlike the girl in pink. She looked the part, what part? Perhapps a little extra on the side. Couldn't hurt, right? Wait, it could. But she had no mental powers like Karalie had and well.. there were no shadows nearby she could pop out of. He coould play his little game. Besides, with how she was he knew she'd get it. He hoped.

''Hot guy?'' His eyes sprang to attention and followed the, what he assumed to be young, girl that just up and sat next to him on the bench. Ugh, why'd he get the ones that were too young for him? She'd be fun to hang out with, but he wasn't sure she'd be any good in that department. To be fair, he didn't know that about the other gil either, but she at least would be fun to look at. ''I mean, hot guy.'' He nodded.

When she said his name and asked if it was correct he nodded once more, listening to her as she actually began talking about the other girl. This allowed him to focus on her. Oh the luck. ''From what I can see so far, yeah.'' He replied as she said she was cute. He chuckled and leaned forward, winking to see what it did to the girl in pink before turning back to the one beside him. ''I'd be able to say for sure if she took off her jacket though.'' He half joked. Aside from the girl not trying to seduce him and him not beating up an inanimate object this was like before.

''Choose her?'' He questioned. ''Wait, hero?'' He was confused now. ''Are we in a play? Anyway, I did choose her before you even came over. She looks fun. An' not fun like you, yer the kinda fun I can hang out with. I don't think she is.. yet.'' He told her, getting up from the bench then and walking over to the girl in pink.

He put an arm around her and smiled. ''Anyone ever tell ya ye have sunglasses on?'' He moved his arm to take her sunglasses and while he did that he smoothly caressed her face. Now that the sunglassed were gone and he had a full view of her face..

''So, that girl over there,'' He pointed at the one on the bench. ''says yer cute. Wanna prove her right?''

[Scarlett West]

Unsurprisingly, this wasn't the first time that Scarlett had been called a bully and it certainly wasn't going to be the last. She wasn't really a bully. She just didn't have time or patience for people who were messing around and getting in other people's way. And she certainly wasn't about to be chided by a girl who was running around and botching a Frozen song. Before she could remind the girl that this was real life, not some fantasy five-year-old game. She continued droning on and on. "Totes?" She blurted. Like that was really the only thing she got from it. 

And wait, did the other girl admit to Scar being better looking. Well, it was true but.. The brunette smirked, momentarily forgetting her frustration with the skateboarder. Flattery, ladies and gentleman, can actually get you many places. Scarlett was just going to ignore that 'today' part. She may be a bitch, but every girl needed her ego stroked. Especially with one as big as Scarlett's. Snapping out of her momentary haze, she  tuned back in when she just strutted off. And Scar was the rude one? Honestly. Instead of following, she just turned and watched as she plopped herself down next to the 'hot boy.' 

The fiery girl crossed her arms and waited for their private conversation to finish. Oh. He winked at her. Scarlett fought the blush she felt creeping up her neck. Guys hitting on her happened a good amount, but when they were this good looking... Well, let's just say she was willing to be more open to discussion. She returned the wink with a slight smirk and a waggle of her fingers. Scarlett wasn't good at emotions, but she was good at flirting. That was one game she could play. Before she could process anything else though, the boy, Luke apparently, approached her. 

Her initial reaction was to recoil, touch was something Scarlett liked to give, not receive. But she fought her instinct and instead pursued her lips. She made a mental note to make sure she got her glasses back later, they were expensive after all. "I may have noticed," she hummed, allowing herself to give in a little. He wanted to play games? Well, Scarlett was all in. The brunette gently removed the boys arm from around her and positioned herself right in front of him. 

Not missing a beat, she cocked her head and pouted, doing her best to look confused, "Don't I prove it by just existing? Besides," she took a finger and trailed it down his chest, "I think it's your job to prove her right." She raised an eyebrow and grinned coyly, taking a step back.  "But keep in mind, we do have an audience." Scarlett glanced over to the former brat.

Hm, maybe Scarlett could have fun with this. "Right.. .you?" Yeah, she hadn't gotten the name, oops. "Isn't this boy supposed to be totes in love with you, or whatever?" She tried to keep from rolling her eyes. She really, really did. 

[Maisie Pryce]

At first Maisie was totally and completely alarmed by the fact that good looking Lucas had gone so far as to touch obviously hostile girl. She didn't think it was all that great of an idea but apparently hostile girl didn't have a problem with it. Maybe Maisie should have tried that first? Singing and rocketing through the air, almost killing herself on the ice = public nuisance. Touching a stranger randomly for no apparent reason = totally okay. She'd remember this for later, indeed she would. She watched the two interacting for a moment, still a bit confused about the touching but was quickly pulled into the conversation again when hostile bully girl demanded to know of Lucas really was in love with her.

“Ah, well…ya know…heroine and all that and love is a fickle thing, maybe we all decided that you needed love more than me. As the hero and the one with ALL the love to give I suppose this was bound to happen eventually…” Maisie rambled, not really sure what she was saying herself until she stopped. “Anyway it looks like you have some strange instant chemistry going on which I’ve heard is usually good and sometimes important so I suppose it worked out..?” she wondered out loud as she looked at them standing so close to each other.

"Also, call me Maisie," she added helpfully.
