Not long had passed. Not long at all. She is a fourth of a way through Ante Mi by CRIPTA, not even the strangest song on her playlist, when the arrival of friends and foes become apparent by the sudden – and not entirely unwelcomed appearance of Remy King. She doesn’t mind Remy, not really, in fact she thinks if anything Remy is a lot cooler than her brother. Anybody who can put up with his mom façade for so long deserves to be revered. Morgan only wishes that she weren’t so…loud without warning. "Where in the hell is Gabe? I swear on Pax's life if he fucking ditched on us, I'm out!"

Morgan isn’t exactly startled, but to say she doesn’t jump a little would be a lie. She doesn’t take her earbuds out, but pauses the song and looks up expectantly. About to answer when she spots Paige coming up just behind Remy and Pax. "Mom probably got distracted coddling puppies on the side of the road or something. Lord knows he wouldn't let Mor trek all the way up here on her lonesome. What irresponsibility! It'd probably make him sick." Morgan feels a little bad for only noticing Pax just now. She’s quite fond of him, antics wise he’s a hell of a riot and if things were a little different she could see him being a good friend. But as it stands, their sort of acquaintance/kind of a friendship is almost impossible. If not only because of her own friendship with Paige, and the hatred that’s shared between Remy and Paige. A pity. If everyone just stopped to realize all their similarities they’d figure out there’s nothing to actually fight about.

She couldn’t give a damn about the perceived need to cockblock a potential friendship so she makes sure that she gets as much out of Pax as possible before reality comes crashing back. Maybe they’ll find some crazy adventure on this trip…maybe not. Either way she shoots him an appreciative smile – at least he understands what she goes to. If anything, Gabes as big of a douche to Pax as he is to Morgan about being the mom. Even if it’s a little weird to hear someone refer to her brother as Mom out loud.

"One guess, he's in the fancy ass building." Paige is all too willing to butt heads. Must not see how frustrated she makes Morgan in 0.2 seconds. It’s a little annoying having to always defend a best friend, when nobody else can see who she really is. But then again, Morgans known her since long before the mean-bug got to her. Once upon a time feels like forever ago ; she knows the exact moment that Paige turned dark inside, and it’s only a little more painful than the time she sprained her wrist in gym class, climbing a rope without supervision. Morgan begs in her mind for Paige to just shut up before this escalates. But knows, just as she knows Paige, that its impossible to stop once its happened. "So why don't you buzz off and find him yourself." Where the hell is Gabe anyway? Didn’t he live for this? Breathe for the chance to break up a silly fight before it even starts. This was like… his thing, and yet he was nowhere to be found and all Morgan could do was frown in worry. No fights. Not this early. Not if she had anything to say about it. If that meant breaking character to shut it down – well, no, actually she isn’t sure she’s capable of saying half the stuff that runs through her head.


"You're gonna break an arm jerkin yourself off like that," Before she can even get a lick of input in there’s another comment being spewed forth. She tries really hard to stifle a snort, choosing not to exacerbate the situation any further. Morgan stares, for a long, drawn out moment before she can’t stand it anymore. She tugs the earbuds out, fingers trembling lightly. ”Can we stop measuring dick length already?” She addresses everyone, including Trisha and Pax who aren’t participating in the fight, but being extensions of Remy and Paige it would be bound to happen sooner or later. Even Carter, even though his comment had almost made her lose her shit. Good to know there’s someone else here to make Paige work for her insults. ”We haven’t even made it to the lodge yet, can we maybe all get along for one fucking minute, or are you guys that determined to ruin this?” Woah. Harsher than she intended but both Remy and Paige were used to dealing out worse, she’s sure. If anything, her words will probably bounce right off their thick skin.

It’s the best Morgan can really manage. ”Anyways.” She swings her gaze to the cable car station, where her eyes catch on a more than familiar face then narrow to slits; really Gabe? Not gonna help at all? ”If we don’t get up there now we’ll be late.” She grabs hold of Paiges hand – holding hands was never really a problem until this past year. Paige usually shrugged her off, but Morgan didn’t allow it this time. ”Lets go.” She says, wondering if Paige will even listen – if any of them will listen.
