Assassins vs Urban Jungle

The next day,all assassins woke up early,just as per their usual schedule,whilst the girls were sleeping as much as usual.

Raven woke up first,and as she slowly fluttered hey eyes open,she realized she wasn't in her usual blue dormitory,but the green one.
Scanning the room,while feeling a little chill down her spine,making her shudder in cold,she found her new Native American friend doing push ups on the floor.

Raven: . . . Connor. . . ?S'that you?
Connor:Kangee,good morning.Did you sleep well?

She closed her eyes lazily and grumbled a 'yes' ,as she let her arm out of the blanket,reaching for the male.

Raven:C'mere...
Connor:Should I bring you something to break your fast with?
Raven:Later...
Connor:Then how may I assist you?

She sighed,and grabbed his wrist,making him stumble into the bed.Putting the blanket over the two of them,she cuddled close to his chest,seeking warmth,still half-asleep.

Raven:Warm...
Connor:Were you cold,Kangee?
Raven:Mhm...
Connor:I apologize.If I knew,I'd have brought you another blanket.
Raven:You're so warm...
Connor:Umm...I suppose so...Shouldn't we leave the room?
Raven:Shut up and relax.I'm not awake yet,and I'm enjoying the comfort of your warmth.
Connor:I wasn't aware that body heat held such comfort to another?
Raven:Urgh...just take it this way...it's keeping a peace in my spirit,no more questions.
Connor:If I can help the Great Shaman,then I shall comply.
Raven:You're keeping me warm,not a Great Shaman.
Connor:I...don't fully comprehend,but I shall do as I am told.
Raven:Good boy...

The girl cuddled closer to him,being fully engulfed in the soothing heat and falling back into a peaceful sleep,as the male gazed over her in wonder and confusion,even daring to touch and play with her hair.

--

6 in the morning,and Kim barely went to sleep.
Obviously,she fell asleep sprawled on the floor,while playing video games with Jacob,and feeling thrilled as she could beat him in all of them (what a surprise).
Therefore,the male felt it was his responsibility to tuck in his mischief partner and make sure she has a great sleep,by kissing her hair and smiling softly.

---

Noon already,and Connor hasn't moved a muscle ever since his Shaman girl fell asleep in his arms,and he was still awestruck by that fact.
That is,until she slowly fluttered her eyes open once again,and with a small smile,started stretching like a cat,rubbing on the male.
Male,that was trying to understand such peculiar human behaviour.

Connor:Kangee...did a feline spirit posses you?
Raven:No...but it feels nice.Helps me wake up.
Connor:Very well.
Raven:So,what about breakfast?
Connor:I believe lunch would be a more appropriate term for this time's meal.
Raven:Shall we get some?
Connor:Still in our sleeping garments?
Raven:*shrugs*It's our house now.If I want to stay comfortable,then I will.
Connor:*nods*This era's customs,I suppose.
Raven:*grins*The customs of a lazy girl.Come on,I'll make an omelet,and you will learn.I don't doubt that you know how to cook,but in these times...it's more...refined.And modern.
Connor:I am prepared to learn anything that will ensure my survival in this urban jungle.
Raven:*giggles*Or just bring me food when I'm too lazy to do so myself.
Connor:That works too.Making your host happy is the only way they will keep you in.
Raven:*bites lip*No need to be so formal.Tone it down a bit.I took a responsibility to take you all in,until the set date,and so I will do.Relax a bit!
Connor:I shall do my best,then.Thank you.
Raven:Of course~.

---

After they finished eating an omelet,she made sure to remember to teach Ezio how to cook,and also bring everyone to Tesco,to buy enough groceries.
She was terrified of leaving them either home alone,or at a public space,but she couldn't leave them alone.They'd destroy her precious home.
So after the mental note,she got a book,got Connor another,and they went back to the nearby woods to read in peace.

The same peace couldn't be said for Kim as well,for she was violently woken up at 2pm by a bucket of water,when a bored Jacob and a frustrated Evie dumped it on her.

Jacob:Get up already,slow poke!I'm bored!
Evie:Get up already,this idiot keeps bugging me!
Kim:JACOB,YOU SON OF A BITCH!I'LL KILL YOU!
Jacob:You can't.I just made you wet.*winks*Literally.
Evie:JACOB!
Kim:*blushes shocked*Y-YOU PERVERT!I'LL KILL YOU!
Jacob:Toodles,toots~!

The male ran away with a smirk,leaving the girl behind flustered and red as Spain's tomatoes.

Evie:Ignore him.He's an idiot.
Kim:*stuttering*I...uh...w-well....IMMA KILL HIM!!

And so,she ran past the female Frye,that was holding the best 'Really,Queen?' face.

Evie:Just one day here,and those two already matched.*sighs*I'm actually surprised.*smiles*Good for them,though...

--

Jacob ran outside,and Kim after him,and they even climbed trees together...-...until they spotted another pair,at the base of an oak tree.It was Raven and Connor,leaning on each other,reading,and enjoying small talk.
Kim's eyes started sparkling,as she chose the best spot to stalk them and take countless pics of them.Blackmail material,as the stalked female would have said.

Kim:Shush,Jacob,be quiet!
Jacob:Why?
Kim:Look down there!
Jacob:*smirks*Ohh~!I see,I see~!Look at 'em love birds!
Kim:Kikiki~!

-

Connor:*whispers*Kangee,can you feel it?
Raven:Feel what?
Connor:This weird burning feeling of-
Raven:-Being watched?
Connor:Uh...yes.That one.
Raven:Then I do.
Connor:But who could be watching us?
Raven:I have someone in mind...
Connor:Can your mysticism magic feel the spirits' gazes?
Raven:Spirits?Or two troublemakers' eyes?
Connor:Troublemakers?Don't tell me-
Raven:*clears throat*I'm QUITE sure that KIM and JACOB are NOT stalking us from the TOP of some TREES!
Connor:Why'd you raise your voice?

The girl pointed above,as the pair in the tree scuttered away,feigning innocence.

Raven:*chuckles*Young love.
Connor:*confused face*They are in love?
Raven:Perhaps so.I know it's only been a day since you've arrived but...I know my things.
Connor:How do you know if you're in love?
Raven:*looks away*Hmm...good question...I suppose you feel protective over said person,you want to show your affections to them,emotionally...you want to take care of them...
Connor:Sounds complicated.
Raven:*sighs*It is...for some people more so than not...especially with my condition.
Connor:Condition?
Raven:Let's just say that I wasn't made to be loved.
Kim:*from her hiding spot*NOT TRUE!!!
Raven:GO AWAY!BOTH OF YOU!
Kim:NEVER!!!
Raven:GO ANNOY ALTAÏR OR SOMETHING!
Kim: . . .AYE,CAPTAIN!!

And once again,the girl scuttered away,hopefully,for real this time.I swear,there's no more room for intimacy with them around.

Connor:I do not believe you cannot be loved.Fate couldn't be so cruel on a Shaman.
Raven:Most males are...physical beings,you know?And that repulses me.So even if I find someone to fancy me,they push their boundaries,and it gets...scary.
Connor:If one truly loves another,they wouldn't cross their comfort boundaries,would they?
Raven:Not sure if it is that simple.
Connor:Why wouldn't it be?
Raven:Have you ever been in love,Connor?
Connor:I am not quite sure,to be honest.
Raven:When you'll be,you might have to choose between your pleasure and your partner's.And if you choose yours,your partner might get repulsed and distant,but if you choose theirs,you might not be satisfied.Do you catch my drift?
Connor:Kangee...this feeling called 'Love' is more complicated than I thought.Perhaps it's because of this era.
Raven:I suppose that's why I'm fine being alone...
Connor:You are never alone,Kangee.Never forget that.
Raven:*smiles*Thank you,Connor.I appreciate it.

In the house,Kim jumped on the couch where Altaïr was watching a movie with Malik,and started poking him.
And poking him.
AND poking him.
Until he slapped her hand away and pushed her off the couch,then returned to the TV as if nothing happened.

Kim:What the hell was that for?
Altair:Being an annoying pest.
Kim:*gasps*I was not!
Jacob:*gasps*She was not!
Malik:*chuckles*So insensitive towards women,this Altair.
Altair:It's her fault!Don't just gang up on me!
Malik:Oh,novice,that's why you can't get laid.
Kim:Can't get laid?What about Maria,the templar chick?
Altaïr:*shocked*What?!
Malik:What?!
Jacob:*laughs*
Altair:How'd you know?Are you a Seer?
Kim:*smirks*I know everything about your lives,Altair.Also...I have the act filmed*winks*.
Altair:Why though?Are you some kind of pervert?
Kim:*dumbfound*Wait,what?
Altair:Do you get off on seeing others do nasty things,Kim?
Kim:Wh-What?!Of course not!
Jacob:*laughs*Oh,Kimi,Kimi,I never thought you could be anything but innocent!What a shocking turn of events~
Kim:No!Don't listen to this idiot!He's bluffing!
Malik:*put his arm over her shoulder*Come ooon,stop teasing the poor girl,she's still so young and frail~!
Jacob:She's not that much younger than me,though~*winks*.
Malik:You're still a child as well,Frye.
Jacob:I'm an Assassin,not a child!
Malik:Assassin kid.
Altair:See?Your immaturity level reflects the way you talk.What adults do is none of your business,is it?
Kim:Adults...?
Jacob:Immature...?
Malik:Just make a truce before you start a war and destroy Raven's house.That's when you should fear for your life.
Altair:I have no wish to upset our host.
Jacob:Neither do I...
Kim:I AM YOUR HOST TOO!
Altair:Yes,but you don't matter.
Kim:*gasps*WHAT?!
Altair:She's the rational one.
Malik:That's true...
Kim:But it's my house too!

Before things got out of proportion,the front door was slammed open,and like a thunder,Raven appeared and slammed her hands in front of the ones making a scene.

Malik:You fucked up,guys...
Raven:I...have GREAT news!
Kim:*confused*Huh?
Raven:They're better for you than for me,but even so,this must be done,and for good reasons,and I'm glad Ezio is not in this room at the moment.
Kim:*gasps*Ezio's birthday!
Raven:*nods*In a few days it's Ezio's birthday,and we must celebrate somehow.Therefore,I decided to go to-
Kim:Italy?!
Raven: . . .In a way.The seaside,I meant.I heard Savona had both sea and mountains.Aside for that,I wanted to go to-
Kim:Florence!
Raven:*nods*Ezio Auditore da Firenze is his full name for a good reason.I'm sure it will be quite a culture shock for him,but I think he will...enjoy it.
Malik:Sounds like a plan,then!
Kim:YAAAY!I've always wanted to go to Italy!PART-AAAAAYY!
Jacob:AWESOME!
Altair:Where the hell is Italy?
Raven:Ergh...Some countries away...
Kim:We will FLYYYYYY!
Them:WHAT?!
Raven:*facewall*It will be a long day and an even longer trip....
Kim:We must keep it a secret,though!
Raven:Indeed we must.So please,do shut up and never speak of this,especially in his presence.
Them:Roger that!

---

Before the girls did anything else,they had to take the guys shopping...which wasn't particularly easy.
When they got in the car,the Arabs and Ezio were scared and shocked of the motion sickness and how a car works.The others weren't as surprised of the technology development.
However,what shocked them all...
Were the doors.
They were opening by themselves.
Some thought it was a poltergeist (the twins)
Others that it was some black magic (Altair and Ezio)
Or that Raven's Shaman spells were very powerful(Connor).
But they all shared something in common.
Wonder and amazement for the technology,once Raven explained everything to them,in terms easily understood by dummies from the older eras.
Magical Mall doors,everyone...

Kim went with the twins to find clothes for them,and I remained with the other 4 males,since I was the 'responsible adult' of the group.

Altair:These clothes don't seem too practical for fighting.
Raven:They are not supposed to be for fighting,though.
Altair:What for,then?
Raven:Fashion.Looking good.And just not being naked.
Altair:I see...
Malik:How do we know which is our style,if we are so unfamiliar with this...'fashion',as you call it?
Raven:Erhm...Look at each top and jeans,choose which you like the looks at,and then call me.We need to see which size fits you.All of you being quite fit might make it a bit difficult.
Altair:Quite fit?Isn't it normal?
Raven:In our times more and more people prefer to stay on the lean and thin side.It's mostly the mind power that's important nowadays,not the brawn.
Ezio:That doesn't sounds so bad~!
Raven:*looks away*People have high expectations on how both men and women standards are...so if some may look at you in...lust,don't be surprised.It's...common.
Ezio:You mean putane?
Raven:*chuckles*I wouldn't necessary call them that.It's the 21st century and more people realize that women actually have a libido as well.Being a free life now,it's not so weird for women to ask men they find attractive out.
Ezio:*gleams*That sounds like a great development!
Raven:*sulks*In a way...but the idea of courting is sadly gone...The days of romance disappeared...chivalry is dead...What a sad life we live in...
Ezio:*gasps*No,no,no,bellissima,romance and chivalry are never dead!I believe that they are the only thing to never die throughout the years!
Raven:How so?
Ezio:Love is eternal and never dies!
Raven:I want to believe you.I really do.But I can't.
Ezio:*pouts*You will see,one day!
Raven:Doubt it...
Connor:Kangee?
Raven:Yes,Connor?
Connor:Since you are the..fashion expert,and I wish to blend in to this society's standards,what do you think of this garment?

He held up an indigo T-shirt which surprisingly had an Indian theme as its design.

Raven:I think this would look great on you,actually!Okay so,let's look fo-
Connor:*takes shirt off*Let me try it on then.
Raven:*eyes widen*W-Wait,don't just go shirtless in the middle of the shop!There are special places for that!
Connor:Why?Is it that weird?
Raven:Y-Yes,it is!
Ezio:*whispers in her ear*You're blushing,mia cara~.
Raven:I am because I don't want anyone to kick us out of the shop!
-?-:*clears throat*Excuse me,mister~?

In front of us,a female shop assistant came,looking all...like Ezio said.

Girl:*puts his hands on Connor*I believe the changing room is right there*points*.Let me show you the way.
Connor:Kangee...?
Raven:Erhm...Go with her *gives him the shirt* try this on and look in the mirror,okay?
Connor:*nods*Very well.
--
Malik:What WAS that?
Altair:I believe too much freedom spoils everything.
Ezio:*pats my head*Now I see what you meant,bella.
Raven:*shrugs**looks away*At least we weren't kicked out...
Ezio:At least see the good part of it.
Raven:That Connor found a nice Tshirt?
Ezio:*chuckles*I meant to say that the girl wasn't pretty!
Raven:Eh-?What?
Ezio:You thought she was pretty?
Raven:Erhm...a...bit...maybe?
Ezio:Sorellina,men may be lust driven,but when it comes to love,personality is first *winks*
Raven:Who'd want to stay with someone they don't like the sight of?Or find appealing?
Ezio:Men and women see things very differently,yet similarly in many says,mia cara.*puts his arm around my shoulder*A gorgeous personality makes a girl sparkle in one's eyes.Being pretty is just a bonus.
Raven:Hmm.....
Ezio:Don't believe me?Ask the other males you live with now.What do they find attractive?I,personally,-
Raven:Red.
Ezio:Eh-...huh?
Raven:Burgundy red.
Ezio:What's with it?
Raven:It'd suit you well.With some black ripped skinny jeans.Some necklace,bracelets,silver rings,and black boots.
Ezio:Oh!I want to try!
Malik:What about me?
Raven:Hmm...Grey cardigan and black baggy jeans and some Jordans trainers.And a necklace maybe.
Malik:And Altair?
Raven:Ergh...White T-shirt,black hoodie,grey baggy jeans,and same Jordans.Rings and necklace included.
Altair:*nodded*As you say.

As I was showing the guys where and what to get,Connor left the changing cabin with the girl trailing over him,dressed in that indigo T-shirt.

Raven:What is it,Connor?Do you like it?
Connor:I don't know.It fits well and it's quite loose.
Raven:Do you feel comfortable in it?
Connor:*nods*I do.
Raven:That's great!Then,go change back,and we'll look for the rest of the outfit,okay?
Girl:Ahem.May I recommend something?
Raven:Um...sure?
Girl:White skinnies and a tank top.His butt and arm muscles would be well highlighted,don't you think?
Raven:I...urh...d-don't think he'd like that...
Girl:Let me find good clothes for him.Your brother is in good hands.
Raven:Brother?
Connor:Kangee is not my sister.
Girl:Oh...girlfriend?
Connor:What is th-
Raven:No.He's a friend from another continent.He's staying at mine and he'll leave in less than a week.
Girl:Ah...pity.Nevermind,good day.*leaves*
Connor:What was that?
Raven:She...wanted to get in your pants.
Connor:*tilts head*I don't think she'd fit.
Raven:*giggles*What I meant to say was-
Ezio:*from behind me*She wanted you physically,amico mio~!
Connor:Oh...
Raven:You uh...wanted her?
Connor:No.She was repulsing.And she was talking aggressively to Kangee,and I cannot accept that.
Ezio:*winks*Told ya.
Connor:Thank you for the rescue.
Raven:*awestruck*N-No problem...

----

Jacob:*clears throat*MAY I have my clothes back,please?
Kim:Hmm...lemme think....NOPE!
Jacob:Oh,come on,love!Don't be like that!You don't want me going out all nakey nakey and chase you through the store,right~?
Kim:Erh-Erhm...
Jacob:Or is seeing me naked your wish?If yes,then just say so,and I shall comply~!As a guest,I must keep one of my hosts satisfied~!
Kim:TAKE YOUR CLOTHES BACK AND SHUT UP,YOU JERK!
Jacob:My dear,you're so easy to tease,it's simply...adorable.Thank you for your cooperation.
Evie:*returning with her bags*Are you guys not ready?
Kim:Jusy finishing here...
Evie:Jacob,did you tease poor Kim again?
Jacob: . . .No . . . ?
Evie:You so did.
Kim:He so did.
Jacob:Mean~!She asked for it!
Evie:Where's the gentleman in you?
Jacob:*grins*Back in Victorian England.Here,I'm the fashionable Jacob Frye!
Evie:*facewall*He's broken.
Kim:He was always broken...
Jacob:SO MEAN!

After everything they needed was bought,and the groups met up at Starbucks,they started chatting.
They somehow had to be prepared for a seaside trip...via plane...
So Raven and Kim had to explain the concept of flying.

Raven:Okay so,I KNOW it will be a huge shock-
Malik:More so than the others?
Raven: . . .Yes.A hella lot more.
Ezio:This should be interesting~.
Raven:So um....do you know how birds fly?
Kim:I think everyone knows how birds fly.Do you think that will help them?
Raven:*bites lip*Hope so...
Ezio:What about birds flying?
Raven:We will fly to another country...via a plane...which is kind of a bigass metal bird.
Altair:We will fly ON a bird?Like...mounting it?
Raven:No,No!Just like how you stayed inside my car,like a carriage,so you shall stay inside a plane.There are seats and all that.It's a very safe and smooth way of travelling.And not to mention,very fast as well.
Jacob:Wicked!I wanna try!
Raven:The Wright brothers invented it like 60 years after the year you were in at the time you time traveled.You should feel contemporary.
Jacob:Oh yeah!So awesome!
Raven:Anyways,our flight departs tomorrow morning,P L E A S E leave A L L your weapons at home.The security will find any scrap of metal you own in both your luggage and on yourself,and depending on the weapon,you can end up in jail and never return to your home.
Ezio:*gasps*Si,bella!We shall comply to this new laws.
Raven:I appreciate it.We cannot be reckless and draw attention to ourselves,otherwise I cannot rescue you.So please,just listen to what I say.It's not that difficult after all.
Malik:Don't worry,Raven!*winks*The responsible adults will make sure to make the kids obey!
Raven:Novice...?
Malik:*smirks*Novice.
Kim:NOVICE!
Altair:Damn you all...
Raven:Very well.Now that everything is settled,let's return home,do our luggage,and have a nice sleep,for tomorrow we rise at morn'.
Jacob:PARTAAAAY!
Kim:FUN!FUN!FUN!
Raven:*facewall*So much for not drawing attention...
Connor:Worry not,Kangee.I'll make sure to keep them under control.You cannot take care of seven people at once.
Raven:Thank you,Connor.Your help is always welcomed and appreciated.
Kim:*kissy noises*Love biiiiirds~!
Raven:*eye twitch*At least there's someone in this group of circus freaks who bothers to help me and *grins* not be a burden for me.Leeches.

With a poison smirk,Raven gathered all to the car,the back of it being full of clothes' bags,and drove them back home,where they all prepared for a holiday to remember.
