[Christian Remoc]

Seeing what he had just seen cemented further in his mind that they were really, really drunk.

He felt a twinge of disappointment as Seoras ripped the bottle out of his hands. Well, they'd be a heck of a lot easier to handle if they were knocked out...again, thought Remoc. After cathing the keys he gave Seoras the most vile, communistic look he could give, then turned his attention back to Lindsay. Behind him, he heard Seoras mutter something about his car, though he seemed to skip every other word. Meanwhile, Lindsay was currently smiling and dancing along the beach. For some reason the Jaws theme began playing when he saw her teeth... He shook the hopefully irrational fear away.

Well, come on. She wouldn't attack her friend, she's not that drunk....right? We'll try the easy way first...

"So Lindsay, want to go grab some more...uh...alcohol wih me?", questioned Remoc. It wouldn't hurt to try. Nevertheless, he got ready to drag a rather wasted young girl into a car, not an easy task in the least.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay giggled and then came to an abrupt stop and fell over. She stumbled to her feet and replied, "Nooowie. Thatss okie dokey. I gotz plenty heree." She said smiling and taking another sip of a bottle that Artemis had laid in the sand. She smiled brightly after the sip and then sat down and crossed her legs and arms. "I'm not leaving!" she shouted loudly and frowned.

[Christian Remoc]

"Oh, yes you are", remarked Remoc. Russians weren't do good at a thing called 'Patience', as they had little of it y'see. Taking a quick stance he dived at the currently defenceless, though not for long, Lindsay, tackling her to the ground. After a short, yet turbulent struggle, he had her arms behind her back. That isn't to say that she stopped flailing about, or that Remoc didn't now have long red streaks from her nails. Well...at least they're red, thought Remoc glibly. He then attempted, with little sucess, to drag Lindsay back to the car. I hope no one's watching this... they might call the cops as it looks like we're...

"Seoras...You sure I can't knock 'em out?"

[Artemis Saggezza]

--Artemis turned around, to face Seoras. The alcohol was wearing off, and although everythign was still spinning, she had regained her senses a bit. She looked at him, her hands on her hips.--

"Since when do you care? You're gonna run after me, to keep me from killing myself?" she asked, tears in her eyes...."You dont' get it Nova! You never have, no one does, no one ever will." she looked at him, shaking her head....."I give up."

((I'm gonna do something drastic, so...yeah...up 2 u 2 save me....))

--With that, she looked at him, and ran toward the ocean. She dove in, and started to swim away. Unfortunately, a storm was coming in to shore, and the water was turbulent. The effects of the alcohol were still present, delaying her response time. She started to go under...--

[Seoras Reinard]

((Of course it is...and you're still having those drunken mood swings, eh? Remember where that got you last time?))

Don't get what? "But if you just talk to me...Wait!" He watched as she took off down for the water and dove in. The splash snapped him out of the trance and he raced after her. "No...she won't be able to...not that drunk..." Seoras hit the water, which had picked up a decidedly dark, frothy appearance, and began aiming for Artemis. He could see she was struggling to stay up; he was having an interesting time of it and he was sober, so how difficult must it be for her? He saw her start to sink, but he was almost there. Almost..............Seoras dove................GOTCHA! He resurfaced, forcing Artemis up as high as he could hold her without drowing himself. He tried to gently grip her in the same way lifeguards did to those being rescued, and started to pull for shore.

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay kicked and screamed and scrathched with little success. "Ahhh! Let me go!" she yelled. She continued to scream. She saw the red marks on his arms from her long black nails. She also saw black marks because the polish wasn't that good. She slapped him pretty hard in the face and then tried one last attempt to get away. She bit his arm hard. When he recovered she ran away again, bumping into Seoras hard and fell over, now knocked out again.

[Artemis Saggezza]

((Oh......poor commie *hug* lol))

--Artemis felt herself being dragged down by the tough seas. She fought as hard as she could, but started to sink, her heavy clothes weighing her down. She then felt someone pulling her towards shore. Struggling to stay consious, she felt herself collapse on the shore. Coughing, she spit up water, and looked up to see Seoras standing over her.--

"Thank you." she managed, in a harsh whisper, before collasping unconcious at his feet yet again

[Christian Remoc]

The bite shouldn't have caught Remoc off-guard, but it did. Still rubbing the very large teeth mark on his arm, he looked up to see both Arty and Lindsay unconsious on the ground...again. Walking over to the now thoroughly soaked Seoras, he helped him up. "Well", muttered a thoroughly scarred Remoc. "We wouldn't have had to go through that if I used the bottle in the first place..."

Then, at the edge of his hearing, he heard sirens... "Prohklaytuy it all, someone saw us and called the cops! Grab the car, now!"

[Artemis Saggezza]

((yay for getting arrested 2 times in 1 week!!! for underage possesion & distribution of: drugs, and alcohol!! yay! and breaking bail terms!! yayness!!))

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

Lindsay was dreaming about things as she lay unconcious until a disturbing siren let off in her dream. No wait, there really WAS a siren. Lindsay stumbled to her feet and looked at the plastic bag of coke. She threw it far into the ocean and grabbed Remoc's arm, "Come on!" she shouted. After the second time she'd passed out things were coming back to her. Like her common sense. She drug him behind her, not to the car. Instead, she headed for her apartments that were right on the boardwalk. "Soeras, grab Artemis and HURRY!" she yelled. The sirens weren't close enough yet. They still had a good chance.

[Seoras Reinard]

Seoras knelt on the sand, rather thankful that he and Artemis were both breathing. It had gotten really cold really fast...Artemis coughed next to him and spoke before losing consciousness. Wait, she had thanked him? Not what he had exactly been expecting, but better than what else she could have done.

"Oh shut up..." he mumbled as Remoc helped him to his feet. "You know as well as I Artemis would have killed you if you'd tried..."

"What? Damnit..." He looked down at Artemis, still out, and noticed Lindsay regaining her feet. She grabbed onto Remoc's arm and started to pull him toward...not the car.

"Where's she going? Oh...maybe her apartment, it's very close to here...And now I'm left with the heavy lifting," he thought with a half smile. He bent down and gathered Artemis into his arms like a small child, but bigger, and started after Lindsay as fast as he could go. Lindsay and Remoc were barely ahead of him now.

"Come on," he called. "If I can keep up with you carrying her, what does that say about you two?"

[x---Lindsay---> ♥]

"Shuddup Seoras" she yelled over her back angriliy. This was not the time to make her wunna punch you and drag Artemis herself laving him here. She continued ot pull Remoc and then she lost her footing. After all, she had drunk at least 2 whole bottles of vodka and wine. She tripped onto the wood of the boardwalk. Scratching her face. She tried to get up, but her body was still rather weak from the drinks she had. She just couldn' seem to lift her body up.

[Artemis Saggezza]

((lol....yay!! i'm loved))


--Artemis, although unconcious, was still vaguely aware of her surroundings. She could feel herself being carried somewhere, and managed to force her eyes open slightly, to see her savior. She was surprised to see, that it was Nova, again. She smiled, althought it was difficult. She tried to speak, but was too weak. She just looked at him, gratitude in her eyes--

[Seoras Reinard]

((Gothboy to the rescue...AGAIN!!! *more recording cheering*))

This day just kept getting better...Now Lindsay was on the ground for the umpteenth time, and unable to get up. Seoras dropped to his knees painfully at her side, patting her pockets. He reached in one and pulled out a key ring. The key to her apartment had to be on it. He threw it to Remoc.

"Remoc! Go! That building there!" he pointed. "Room 237. Go get it open and get little bags of ice or whatever it is that will sober them up even if they're out cold." Irony? Pun? Ice...out cold...nevermind. "Move yourself!"

Seoras ignored Remoc now, concentrating on the two girls. Artemis looked to be slightly awake again. "Sorry, this may cost you some pride, but..." he whispered. He took Artemis and repositioned her so that her upper body was draped over his right shoulder, and wrapped his right arm tight about her legs. Now for Lindsay..."Hope this doesn't rip..." he muttered as he grasped her shirt front in his left hand. He gave a jerk and got her over his left shoulder, locking his left arm about her legs as well. He forced himself to his feet and stumbled forward, nearly falling but recovering and standing up in a wide stance. To fall would mean disaster...not only would the cops catch up to them, but Artemis and Lindsay could be severely hurt if they took a dive. He looked around, not seeing Remoc and hearing the sirens to be very close now. Not more than a block or two away...he had to get into that building.

Seoras walked forward, more concerned with getting there in one piece and staying upright than speed, though he was not too slow for a 17 year old carrying two girls a little older than he. "Finally found a good reason Terri dragged me out of bed everyday to go work out. Hour was ungodly even for me..."

After a minute that had been an eternity, he stood in front of the doors. Normally he would have found the in-swinging doors odd, but he was very glad for them tonight. Seoras threw a kick at the handle and the door leaped open, the goth moving in quickly inside so as not to hit anyone's head on the door that was now drifting closed.

"Where's that elevator...Nevermind, no time."

He started up the stairs, most of his muscles complaining loudly. Leaning his head heavily against a wall of a landing, Seoras assured them there would be much resting later, and managed to buy them over. Up...up...up for another life-time, and then staggering down the hall. Many more muscular complaints flooded in; silencing them was more and more difficult with each step. And then he was standing outside Room 237. Cool relief surged through him, calming the agitated muscles he could still feel as he tapped the half-closed door open with his foot and finally passed through the portal into the well air-conditioned apartment. Seoras lay the girls on the bed in Lindsay's room. Feeling strangely light, he managed to collapse on the couch in the next room. Rest would be a good idea now, but no sleeping. Had to keep and eye on things, make sure Remoc didn't liquidate, blow up, or burn down the building. Or anything else and by any other method, for that matter.

[Christian Remoc]

Remoc was about to answer Seoras's remark with his own, when Linsday tripped. This, invariably, sent Remoc into a faceplant upon a tree. As if enough hasn't happened... From this odd position, however, he saw something that urged him on. Flashing lights, only a few blocks away. Getting up he found Lindsay in the same position, minus the getting up part. Losing time, he was about to lift Lindsay when a pair of keys smacked him in the face.

Remoc heard Seoras mutter something about getting ice. Well at least it's something communist. Oh how I love the cold... He ran up the stairs surprisingly fast, and only had to wait in the apartment for a moment. Bursting in, Seoras, after laying the girls down, collapsed on the couch. After throwing three bags of ice onto the girls, That should wake em, he let one plop on Seoras's head as well.

((That's what you get.))
