"Ah HA!" Peter points an accusing finger at Jen. "You said you'd call me Mr. Huff and just now you called me Mr. Pouty! Just for that punishment is in order" With that he sweeps Jen up in his arms.
His voice drops an octive, "Oh, J," he breathes in her ear, "why must there be so much mistrust here now." His lips move closer to Jen's and when they are about to touch he loosens his hold on Jen so she drops a bit. Quickly he catches her before she falls to the floor.
Then he picks her up and sets her on her feet. "That was fun!" he exclaims. "Okay, my turn J," he then hops into Jen's arms.

Gregory shruggs after watching the play. He turns to Corina, "I'll go first I guess, is that okay?"

Sergeant Harden shakes her head, "I'm sorry. You can't switch right now. Right now, they're trying to get the groups balanced and let people get to know each other. In a few days, you'll be able to petition for re-assignment. Approval will depend upon need and space." She frowns at Peter being so intimate with Jen, but doesn't interfere. She knew they'd have to work it out by themselves or they'd never function alone in space.
~~~
Corina nods, "That is fine with me." She moves to stand behind Gregory. She waits with her arms relaxed by her sides, "Just give me some warning before you fall back."

Caught by surprise, Jen screams very loud as Peter picks her up. Jes laughs as Jen says "Did not. You better put me down or I'm going to scream even louder."
Jen stares at Peter as he begins to moves his lips closer and closer to hers. She didn't really think he would kiss her and just before he drops her she says "Betcha won't." Then as Peter lets go, she screams again.
When Peter hops into her arms, Jen lets him slip right through and fall to the floor. Jes laughs and Jen looks at her and says "Oops, I don't think I was ready." She then laughs and she and Jess hold out a hand to help Peter up.

Peter makes an oof sound as he hits the floor. He reaches up and firmly grasps their hands. Instead of letting them pull him up, he uses his hand-to-hand skills and pull them down ontop of him. He laughs and says, "Gotcha!" as he plants big wet kisses on both Jen & Jes' cheeks.
He then looks to Segeant Harden, "I like this trust exercise!"
Sergeant Harden frowns and shakes her head, "I don't think you quite understand..." she looks to Jen & Jes, "If he is bothering you, you can speak up and say something. You do not have to accept unwanted interactions with another."
Peter giggles and whispers in Jen & Jes's ears, "She's jealous."

Then out loud Peter says, "You're right Ms. Harden. These fine ladies shouldn't be assaulting me like this."

Eduardo speaks to Doctor Carl: "Well, shall we begin then? Why don't you go first?"
Eduardo holds out his arms. This wouldn't be anywhere near as enjoyable as catching Carmencita would have been. But then, Eduardo was here to save humanity, not to pick up women.

Lewis looks at Eduardo distainfully.
"If I must." He says, and turns around.
Making the sign of the Cross of Light on himself, he falls backwards.

(OoC: Been a while since I've been in play, so I'm going to back up in time a bit here until I catch up. Just bear with me here.  ) Marius was silently less than thrilled with the idea of pairing up, unless it was with Julie. He liked playing things his own way, and wasn't sure about any of these other people. He didn't much like being run through hoops like a trained monkey. He really wasn't sure about this Karl guy... not least because he was angling to be in charge. Marius just wanted these kid games overwith so they could get on with their real business. If keeping Julie safe meant putting up with it for a while, he'd suffer through it. "Don't make no never mind t'me," Marius shrugged. "Suit yerself." Julie's eyes brightened at the suggestions. She really liked the twins. They had a great sense of fun and knew how to laugh. Her dad was always so grim and irritable all the time, so he needed the laughter too. Maybe she could even be friends with the twins. The idea brought this happy smile to her lips. "Sounds good to me," Julie said cheerily. "I know we're gonna have so much fun together. We've just gotta do this." She looks back to Marius. "Can I pair up with her? It'll be okay. I'm not gonna get in any trouble or anything." "Sure, kid," Marius said. "Ain't no big." "Great! So I'm on your team now and it'll all be fun." Julie said to Jes with a twinkle in her eye. "If your sister's happy with it, we can play now." Julie watches as the twins play their game with the others and laughs quietly. This was going to be great, she just knew it... |

Julie smiled happily. This sounded like it would be a fun game. And if she got to know the twins better, it would be even more fun.
"Ooh, I want to do that!" Julie said, looking to Jes. "I want to be the trustee! Is that okay with you? Cause if you want to switch, I'm gold with that. Maybe we can even take turns and do it."
*
Marius inwardly groaned at the trust exercise. He didn't show his annoyance, just shrugged at Karl. A silent indicator that he didn't care who did what.
He notices Dr. Carl enter with a wary glance. Marius knew who he really was. He took care not to show more than casual interest in the new arrival. Did Carl recognize him? Marius wasn't sure, but he wasn't going to take the chance of it.
He turns back to Julie, who was happily chatting with the twins. Marius didn't trust any of this bunch. Not yet. But Julie seemed happy, which was the one bright spot in the whole dumb game...

Jen gives Peter a push and says "Assaulting you, you've got to be kidding." "Hey, Vickey," calls Jes. "Mr. Huff, has gone wacko. He's having hallucinations." "Yeah," pipes in Jen. "We didn't do anything but drop him on the floor." "Oops," says Jes with a grin. "Wonder if that is what caused the hallucinations." Jen laughs and says "If he keeps this up, he may end up on the floor again." "Requesting he be confined to the hospital wing for observation," says Jes looking at Vickey. "More like to the psychiatric ward," says Jen eyeing Peter.
*********
"Great," says Jes. "Jen will love it. Come on. Let's join her and Mr. Pouty. It'll be alot more fun with four. Here's the scoop though. Mr. Pouty might seem kinda wierd at times, but he's really OK. He can be alot of fun. If you have any problems with him though, you just let me and Jen know and we'll help you."
"Hey, Jen, Julie and I are going to join you and Mr. Huff," calls Jes. "Great," calls Jen. "Maybe we can do a circle trust. You in, Mr. Huff?" "Cool," says Jes. "How about it Julie? Are you in?"

Peter sits up and looks a bit confused. "Um, if we do a circle trust wouldn't we all just fall over?"
He stands and helps Jen up to her feet. (He also helps Jess if she is still on the floor)
"Hey!" Peter says cheerfully, "If I'm in the hospital section I can be both a patient and a doctor!" He pauses then continues, "And if I'm in the psychiatric ward you guys can come with me. After all you both seem to suffer from a slight identity crisis." He rubs his hands together with an evil look on his face. Then just as suddenly he frowns and looks around.
"We need someone with a name that starts with "B" to go with us." He looks around again, "Then we could be PB & Js."

Lewis looks at Eduardo distainfully. "If I must." He says, and turns around. Making the sign of the Cross of Light on himself, he falls backwards. Doctor Carl falls backward, and Eduardo catches him easily. He sets him back on his feet. "All right, my turn." Eduardo turns around and crosses his arms over his chest. "Let me know when you're ready, Doctor." |

Jen and Jes stare at Peter a moment. Seeing the look in his eyes, they know he knows.
"OK," says Jes. "This guy has figured it out so the rest of you might as well know too. I'm
not really Jen's sister. I am a robot."
"And she is not staying," says Jen. "My parents made me bring her along."
"I am staying," says Jes. "You're Dad said so. I'm suppose to take care of you."
"I don't need anybody to take care of me," says Jes. "If you don't leave, I will shut you down and for good."
They stand there staring at each other........................

Gregory asks Corina, "How?"
"How what?" she replies.
"Warning?" he responds.
She pauses for a moment, then says, "A countdown. I do not want to drop you. So count down from 3 and fall back. I shall be ready."
"On 1 or 0?" he asks.
"0. Fall after 1." she sighs inwardly at this silly game.
Gregory nods, turns around, says, "3... 2... 1..." and after saying 1, he falls back. Corina's arms move up quickly to catch him. She falters a little, but does not drop him. She gently pushes him upright.
He regains his feet and turns to her, "Do you wish to repeat the same system for you?"
She nods and turns her back to him, holding her arms across her chest, "Are you ready?"
He asks, "How far do you wish to fall?"
She drops her arms and turns slightly to him. She gazes into his eyes, trying to determine his meaning. He looks serious. She considers, "A true test of trust would have you stopping my fall barely inches off the floor." she pauses, "If you are up to it, I am." she glances over at Peter then at Lewis, "For my sake, I do hope you catch me."
Gregory seems to not notice her gaze towards the doctors, instead eyes her build and seems to measure his position in relation to her. After a moment of contemplation, he nods and says, "I believe I can." He prepares himself, "I am ready."
Corina nods, turns around and takes a deep breath before saying, "3... 2... 1..." and after 1 falls back.
Gregory catches her only an inch from the ground. Her body remains rigid, though her eyes smile up at Gregory. He blinks. A small smile crosses her lips as she says, "Up please."
Gregory nods, "Of course," and helps her to her feet. Corina takes a few steps away and looks around at the others, while also watching Gregory out of the corner of her eye.

Peter scratches his head and shrugs, "well, I don't see any way around it. We'll just have to take you both. For how do we know that you're always Jes and you're always Jen," pointing to each of them in turn, "So since one of you should stay, you'll both have to. Because twice is nice!"
He looks over at Gregory and Corina as well as Dr. Lewis and Eduardo, "That does look like fun! And that is a good system." he turns and points to Jen, "I'm catching you. And you're counting down from 50!" with a goofy grin on his face.

Julie just nods her head enthusiastically. She knows if Mr. Pouty ever treated her badly, her father would do something really bad to him. But her father also asked her to keep it quiet, so she says nothing.
"You bet I'm in," Julie nods happily, joining them. "Show me how it works and I'll pick it up. I'm kind of good on the learning curve."
"I dunno," Julie says, looking at Jes. "It doesn't matter to me if you're a robot or not. I still think you're a person. Cause you've been a good friend and really nice to me. I wish I had a really cool robot sister when I was growing up."
"Please don't be mad at Jes," she adds, turning to Jen. "She's just doing what she was programmed to do, right? She acts like your sister because of her AI directives? That means she's just doing this because she cares about you. We're going up in space, and I know it'll be lots easier to have your family with you. But even if you don't, do you really want the last time you see Jes before the big trip to be a fight? Cause who knows when you'll see her again."
"But I want Jes to stay," Julie says finally. "I like her. I think she'd help you out a lot. But that's just my advice. It's up to you, okay?"
Julie just calmly grins at both girls and looks at them both hopefully. She likes the twins and hopes they'll work their problems out. She knows she wouldn't want to be mad at her father like that if she ever had to leave for space. Julie hopes they'll work out their problems so they can work in space together...

"No way," exclaims Jen. "You'll drop me. I know you will and you'd do it on purpose too since I dropped you. Wasn't my fault though. You shouldn't have jumped expecting me to catch you."
She then looks around at Vickey and says "Vickey, I don't trust him. He'll drop me for sure."
********
Jes looks at Julie ands says "You're OK, Julie. You and Jen should have a lot of fun together. Don't worry about us being mad at each other. Being a robot I don't have feelings. You are right. I am just a machine that does what it is programmed to do. I can't think and act on my own. What you saw was just a program Jen created to play a trick on everybody.
Since I said I would do this exercise with you, I will catch you. It might be better for you to do it with a real person though. You will never know if you can trust them or not doing it with me since I can only do what I am programmed to do.
Julie, you can do it with Mr. Huff if you want," says Jen smiling at her. "It will be more real for you. He is always full of surprises so you never know what he will do," she adds grinning at Peter. I'll do it with Jes. She'll catch me, won't you Jes?" "Yes," says Jes. "Catch me," laughs Jen and she falls backwards and Jes catches her. She then laughs and says "See, she didn't drop me."

Peter's eyes get really big and watery. His lower lip starts to tremble. Then he blurts out, "That was so mean!!" he runs over and hugs Jes, "You are alive! No matter what anyone says! And since Jen can't trust me, I'll be your partner Jes." he begins waving his arms and building in volume, "I'll put my own body in the way, if I need to." He goes around behind Jes. He's now blubbering like a baby, "Would you allow me the honor? Will you trust me?" he finishes with a soft whisper.

Sergeant Harden begins to speak, but stops at Peter's outburst. While she wants to mediate and reassure Jes that she is more than just programming and that she can learn and grow, she holds her tongue in the hopes that this will bring them together as a team. So she waits and watches.
