Brushing Up On Old Things [Fish]

[Jay]

The sun hadn't even risen yet, and yet a certain white haired red eyed young woman was up and putting on the last of her general gab: her gloves. Possibly out of habit or possibly because she napped during the hottest part of the day, it was rare for Skyler to get up late, and being up before four in the morning was a normal thing for the young woman. Her hair had already been brushed out, and the rest of her clothes were already put on. However, she had taken an extra few minutes to pull on a different set of gloves from usual. They'd been a recent present from her father, and Skye loved them.

"There..." Skye mumbled to herself latching the last few straps on her gloves together before finally turning and walking towards the door. Quietly walking through her already silent house, Skyler said nothing as she passed her father's room. Honestly, she assumed he was already up and working already, but who knew.... She just didn't want to be the one to wake him up if he was indeed asleep.

Upon coming to her small kitchen, Skye began to go through her cabinets before finally coming across--- Blinking a little, Skye stared at the cookies that she had gotten from Fang a few days ago. She had thought she had eaten them all, but... heh. Pulling them down, Skye put a few in her mouth and chomped down. Cookies fro breakfast wasn't the healthiest thing, but meh, she was old enough to take care of herself right? Well... unless Daddy was around to take care of her which was nice.

Walking towards the front, she exited the small house and onto the sand landing that was used to float the entire Viper community on the sands of Deadman's Dunes. Where were they today? Skye wasn't sure given all the sands looked the same... but did it even matter anyways? Closing her red orbs, Skye sighed dryly before opening them and starting to walk down the shaky sandlanding. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do today but was hoping for some sort of surprise at least.

[KARP KARP!]

Fang had been up hours ago, but that was how it usually was; the girl just couldn't sleep nowadays. She'd gotten up, slipped on her black underwear, a red tee-shirt, and a pair of black shorts, topped off with a pair of bloodstained white tennis shoes. Grabbing her cigarettes, she put them in her pocket before slipping away, past her sleeping husband, and quietly sliding out of the door, shutting it behind her.

She stepped out onto the sand landing, looking around. As usual, she had no idea where they were in the Dunes, but this wasn't new. They all looked the same. She pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and just let it hang out of her mouth, savoring it as she took a drag, then blew the smoke into the air, as she walked, just looking around. When the first cigarette ran out, she pulled out another.

The tattooed girl's eyes became less restless as her mind began to wander, not the least bit sleepy. She thought about the gang...the future. She knew her old man wasn't too keen on girls running the place, and since her Mom's disappearance, Fang was sure to be second. ...Unless...unless she was forced to let her husband take her position. Heh...THAT was a laugh...He was a worthless sack of muscle...

Suddenly, Fang's brown eyes caught another figure in the dark, hours after she'd started cigarette number one. Now she was on...five? Hell, she lost count. But seeing the familiar, tall figure, she had to smile. "Hey, cousin!" she called quietly, waving her right, tattooed arm, cigarette number whatever still dangling from her mouth as the small red ember was plainly visible in the dark.

[Jay]

The sound of a voice in the darkness was enough to cause Skye to stop walking and look off sideways towards the Fang's house outlined slightly with scant starlight and possibly a bit of morning light that was threatening to come up in the next few hours. Catching sight of the fire first before the smoker it came with, she smiled slightly and headed over towards Fang. "Morning," she smiled slightly before holding up the bag of cookies she had brought with her. "Breakfast?" her voice teased slightly as she looked at her cousin.

Fang's expression was rarely that good, but today it simply didn't look good at all, and this worried Skye a bit more than she would fully admit. "How are you?" was the question that escaped her before she even realized she said it. She knew Fang was never really happy... or rather, Skye thought she knew, anyways. That expression she generally wore advocated as such. However, today there was something a bit more than just that, or maybe it was just the lack of light and Skye's distorted vision. However, she'd wait and see what Fang said. Who knew, maybe she was right....

[KARP KARP!]

Fang gave one of her usual smirks, holding up the cigarette. "I'm good, I've had at least four of these already," she replied, smirking before stamping out her cigarette and grabbing a couple cookies. "I'm surprised you still have these," she said, taking a bite.

"I'm alright," she answered with a mouth full of cookie. "Just a little sore is all. And thinking, but no different from every other night, right?" She shrugged. "Yourself?" she asked, looking up at her much taller cousin.

[Jay]

Skye smirked sheepishly at Fang's words. "I don't eat too many a day, and Dad has never liked sweets for some reason," she smiled shrugging her shoulders before falling a bit more somber than before. Sore.... which meant she'd been hurt... Breathing out softly, Skye raised a few fingers to the back of her neck and rubbed the skin there slightly. "Just woke up," she answered back if a bit quieter than before. "I was too lazy to try and cook....." she said making a motion to the bag as if this were some sort of explanation. "What were you thinking 'bout?" she asked turning her head slightly to one side. If Fang didn't want to tell her, it was fine, but she was genuinely interested.

[KARP KARP!]

Fang nodded. "Oh, right. Well, ya know I can hook ya up with more sweets if you want, ya know," she said with a grin. "I understand; I didn't want to cook either. Plus I've been out since like...three, heh," the girl said with a smile.

Her smile became more serious. "Nothin' much, just...you know the gang, the future. I don't know...us. If all goes well, you know...we'll be top dogs here one day. Just sorta...intrigued me. Assuming we get to hold those spots, but yeah."

[Jay]

As Fang spoke, Skye nodded slowly and slowly looked out towards the sands. It was dark enough to where they reflected some solid black shadows which were rather beautiful to say the least of it.... "I see..." she sighed quietly looking back to Fang. "When we have power, we're going to be great," she smiled as encouragingly as she could. "And we can do whatever we want...." It was more of a dream really. There would still be codes to follow, and Skye would end up being forced to marry a female, but... Having power to run the Sand Vipers was always something that left her feeling oddly excited.

[KARP KARP!]

"It will...we'll take this society to a whole new level," she said dreamily. "And we can...ya know...we can sorta pave our own way." She thought a moment, scratching her chin. "Maybe ditch my husband, kill that fiancee of yours or something?" She grinned sadistically, motioning to her guns.

[Jay]

A rather unnerved expression crossed Skyler's face at Fang's comment to kill anyone. Her stomach twitched slightly, and her eyes fell towards the platform of sorts as a quiet hum escaped from her. "Heh... maybe just send them away... or tell them to do what we want... or something," she smiled slowly looking back up at Fang again. "They'll always be family, ya know...but that doesn't mean we can't boss 'em around," she mumbled as more of an after thought than anything else. "I still can't believe Dad set me up..." she groaned quite literally bringing up a hand and rubbing her temple. "I mean... I... but really.....he didn't even... but I know it's for the group but..." she sighed softly and moved her hand away before looking back up at Fang. "I dunno ya know?" she asked.

[KARP KARP!]

"The leaders kill all the time," she replied, crossing her arms. "Besides, we both know your fiancee is such a bitch." She paused. "Sorry...I just don't like her..." She looked away, then down at her guns. "So, what brings you out so early?"

[Jay]

Sky fell silent as Fang spoke. She knew her father and her uncle killed people on a daily basis, or-- ok not really daily but it sometimes felt like it. However, they were rarely people she actually knew, and that was possibly one of the harder pars of it. "Yeah... I know..." she answered back looking away from Fang and out towards the sands again. At the comment on Skye's fiance, the young woman managed to crack a laugh. "She's.....................yeah she's pretty bad isn't she?" Skye mumbled quietly rubbing her alternate arm with her right hand. The girl in question was a few years older than her, and among other things, she was rude. Despite knowing this, Skye wasn't going to tell Bret she didn't like her.... She didn't want to make her Dad upset.... The question snapped Skye out of her thoughts, and slowly she looked back towards Fang smirking slightly. "I was actually thinking of taking Flint for a morning flight... maybe get away for a bit. You wanna come?" she asked.

[KARP KARP!]

Fang chuckled, looking at her cousin. "Bad? She makes a swarm of pissed off Beedrill look inviting." Her eyes lit up at the mention of getting away, and she smiled, but not before pulling out her pink lighter with a Skitty on it, and lighting another cigarette. She took a drag. "Actually, that sounds like a fun idea. Go see what we can see, do what we can get away with...you know, maybe just a little...girl time?" She gave a nod, her eyes looking across the sand. "Sounds like fun. I'm in."

[Jay]

A rather weak laugh escaped from Skye at Fang's words. What a lovely image, really. Mentally shaking her head, Skye looked back and smiled at Fang. "Then what are we waiting for?" she teased before slowly starting to walk towards the edge of the platform. "Flit's strong enough to carry two... we're both pretty light anyways," she mumbled more to herself than to Fang. Releasing the Red Flygon, the white haired girl smiled upon seeing her laid back friend. "Morning Flint," Skye called. The Flygon in question had come out of his pokeball already flying and was now levitating above the open sands nodding his head a bit and smirking like some sort of devil. Upon catching sight of Fang, Flint suddenly flew forwards and brushed his head up against the woman. Ahhhh the other person he liked about as much as his trainer~

[KARP KARP!]

Fang gave a nod. "True, true. And getting out is always fun, especially when it's without escorts." When the Flygon made his appearance, Fang gave a smile at his reaction to her, and patted his head. "Hey there, Flint. Miss me?" she asked, then looked to her cousin. "So where we headed?"

[Jay]

The deep 'gon' answer that came from Flint was the answer that Fang would receive, and after a moment, the Flygon in question backed up and clapped his hands together before quickly buzzing back over to Skye and rubbing up against her for a brief moment before finally landing on the landing and waiting to see where they would go or what they were actually doing for that matter.

Skye brought a finger to her chin and seemed to try and think over where they could go. "Maybe we can head really far north?" she asked looking back at Fang with a curious look. "It would be really cool to see whatever is up there... like the capital for instance..." she mumbled quietly thinking about that. She actually hadn't been outside of the south all her life, and this was both a frightening and exciting thought.

[KARP KARP!]

"Oooh....Sounds like fun" she said with a sly grin. She'd never really left the south, either, but she HAD seen as much of the region as she could see. She put out the cigarette, eyes flashing with mischief. "Lead the way~" she replied, suddenly feeling giddy and adventurous.

[Jay]

Skye nodded before stepping towards Flint who lowered himself and allowed his trainer to climb on. Once she was secure, Skye looked back towards Fang and extended a hand to the other woman smiling easily as she did so. Once Fang was on as well, Skye tightened her legs around the Flygon, and with that, Flint was off through the desert buzzing about as his wings vibrated and shook up sand. Leaning forwards, Skye laughed a little. It was so much fun to fly, among other things. "Ya holdin' on ok?" she asked looking back towrads Fang.

[KARP KARP!]

Fang climbed on after her cousin, arms wrapping around Skye. "You tell me," she snickered; the girl loved teasing her cousin. She didn't know why, it was just fun. "Haha....our dads are gunna be so pissed if they find out. If." Fang thought a moment, loving the feeling of being on the back of Flint while the Dragon's wings vibrated, kicking up sand. "Ya know...maybe we should see what kinda Pokemon we can get in the capital. You know, it'd be nice if the future leadership brought something different to the table, teamwise, ya know? Since all we seem to have as a gang is a select few types. That and I really want a Raichu."

"Oh cool... but I don't have much pen on me..." That didn't mean they couldn't steal and leave someone else to pay for it, but Skye didn't think of that right off. "What's a Raichu?" she asked after a moment. Though she had studied a number of pokemon, the Pika-evolution's name wasn't coming to mind for one reason or another. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

"Me neither, but...since when has that stopped me, eh?" The seventeen year old grinned, even though Skye wouldn't see it since she WAS seated behind her younger cousin. She blinked at the question as to what a Raichu was; Fang spent a bit of time learning about Pokemon, and thus thought everyone knew the stuff she did.

"Raichu is an Electric type that sort of resembles a mouse. It starts off as Pichu, which evolves into Pikachu, then Raichu with a Thunderstone. Not only are they fast, but their Electric attacks pack quite the punch," she explained, then muttered, "And they're adorable."
