Axel was lying fully dressed on a hotel couch, she opened her eyes and blinked sleepily at the light shining through her window. She grumbled to herself, and turned over. On the hotel bed this would've been a fairly harmless move, but not on a narrow couch. With a yelp she rolled straight off and landed hard on the floor with a thump. She breifly considered falling back asleep, but decided against it. She was pretty sure Draven had the key to her room, and he was really the last person she wanted coming across her when she was asleep. Way too much of a prankster. Picking herself up with a groan, she walked to the corner of the smallish room and switched on the coffee machine. She never traveled without her coffee machine. It came to life with a click, and she walked back through to her living room, picking up her hat off the couch arm and plopping it squarely on her head. She continued to clean up the mess that was strewen around the room from last night's whatever-it-was. She put the last three cans of the six-pack of beer into the fridge and turned to the coffee machine when it pinged. She had her back to the door as she poured herself a cup of the hot drink. She thought she heard the door open but assumed it was her imagination.

As Dante woke up, he was aware of three things:

1) His head was pounding, which probably meant he was hungover.
2) His clothes were missing, indicating he had been with someone last night
3) Said someone, a pretty blonde girl, was still asleep next to him, also naked, which just proved statement 2).

Crap...how much did I drink last night?...On second thought, I don' even wanna know..., he thought groggily as he sat up, running a slim, long-fingered hand through his hair. He had purple streaks in just now, his favourite colour, but he wasn't really paying attention just now. What he was thinking about was how to explain the mild case of alcohol-induced amnesia he had developed regarding the night before. What the hell had happened? Holding his aching head in his hands, he tried piecing together last night's events. With little success. All he could remember was the flashing lights of the party, the taste of a girl's lipstick, mixed with whatever cocktail she had been drinking, then...Yeah that was pretty much it. Nothing after that. Though, it seemed the night had ended well, judging from the girl currently in his bed. So the night hadn't been a total waste at least.

Ah well, screw it. I'll figure something out later. Now where's my jeans got to?, he thought, trying to force his brain into some sort of working order, so he could find his clothes...

Draven fumbled for his key to Axel's room for a moment, trying to fish it out of his Misfits hoodie which had endured much wear and tear over the years until he nodded to his twin sister whom was going to Dante's room. Since the hotel had marble tile floors, they'd skateboarded in and scared all of the other vistors and they'd gotten a warning that they were 'disturbing the peace', which only made them laugh. As he heard the door click open, he burst into the room and nearly tripped over his skateboard when he saw Axel with the coffee, "Dammit! That was going to be a good one too." He said and looked at the coffee admireably. Coffee was the last thing he needed. "So, how ya doing?" He laughed, setting his half frozen water bottle and flour on the counter and leaning the skateboard against the chair, clearly not still going to go after her. "Hey, since you're up, wanna help go after Fennec with this stuff?" He asked, gesturing to the flour and water.

Deirdre had snagged a key to Dante's room and darted inside with her skateboard and backpack full of stuff, completely unaware of what she might see until she froze on spot. Goddamit, Dante, at least if she expected it, then it wouldn't be so bad. "Jesus Christ, Dante!" She almost dropped her skateboard and managed to quietly set it down, looking at the girl nervously, hoping they wouldn't wake up, her emerald green eyes wide. "I don't really want to see all that..." She told him in a whispering voice, shaking her head and laughing a little bit as she noticed the shed clothing in the room. At least she found it funny as she leaned her heartagram skateboard against the foot of the bed and set her backpack down, tugging the fabric of her Tiger Army tanktop down a little bit over her black jeans as she noted the coolness of the hotel room.

Fennec clawed at the mound of blankets that were piled on top of him. However, his clawing only succeeded in making the stack fall over, dragging him along with them because he was wrapped up in a large randomly colored piece of fleece that was part of the pile. Grumbling at the blankets, which had begun to knot together sometime in the night, Fennec proceeded to go through his daily ritual of digging free. Successful after a few minutes of trying, Fennec bounced to his feet, grabbed a granola bar from the desk and began munching away as he searched his bag for some clean clothes.

Grabbing a random selection of clothes from his bag, Fennec set his half-eaten granola bar on the nightstand, threw his blankets back on the bed, and slipped into the bathroom to shower. Turning on the shower, Fennec stripped himself of his sleepwear and stepped into the water, yelping as he noted that he didn't wait long enough for it to warm up. He was out of the shower within five minutes, clothing himself and waiting for the mirror to defog. Almost anyone who knew Fennec would know that he would be in there for at least another 15-30 minutes before he finished getting ready and gave up on making his wet hair do anything other than flop in his face.

Axel turned her head and grinned at Draven. "Beer's in the fridge." she said, sipping the coffee and eyeing the flour. She grinned. "Dude, stupid question much?" she grinned again, before grabbing the flour. "Plan of attack?" ah, nothing cured a hangover better than coffee and Fennec squealing like a girl.... Wait a second... "Draven, what were you gonna do with that flour if I wasn't up?!"

Draven hopped up to grab a beer even though it was still morning, he couldn't help but grin like a fool when she told him it was a stupid question. Yes! He just knew she'd help him get Fennec. He held up the ice water, "I'll pour ice water on him and then you throw the flour on him so he looks like he's ready to be fried." He told Axel with a small snicker. He blinked and shrugged when she asked what he would've done if she wasn't up and about, "Well...what I'm going to do to Fennec." He told her, "And what Deirdre is probably doing to Dante right now."

He knew he should have expected it, but come on... Deirdre? He wasn't sure what time it was, but he had a feeling it was far too early for him to be up. Especially in this state. He grabbed his jeans hurridly, and pulled them on, just so he was somewhat clothed. He just had to be very careful with the zip.
"For God's sake, Deirdre. Waay too early for this...", he started, then thought of something, "Hang on...how'd you get my room key?", he asked, brain still not fully in gear yet. It would take a LOT of coffe for him to be in any kind of human state by this point.
He turned as the girl in his bed stirred a bit, then relaxed when she just rolled over and went back to sleep. She must've been even more drunk than he had been. That was quite an achievement in Dante's opinion, though he had sympathy for her. She would be feeling even worse than he was when she woke up.

"The earliness was supposed to be part of it, you know, pour ice water on someone, piss them off at early hours of the morning. But you screwed that up nicely by waking up early. Oh, well, you win." Deirdre shrugged and tried not to look at Dante too much with her black eyeliner rimmed emerald eyes, partly to be respectful and partly because she didn't want to admire his looks, tucking her black hair behind her ears, but she still smiled at him, "And I got a room key because I have my ways." She told him with a shrug, trying to be mysterious when it had actually been quite simple to get the key, "So, I take it your night was lovely." She jokingly prodded his arm with a pale hand, each of her nails painted black, "I would've brought you coffee if I knew you'd be up. Anyway, since you are up, wanna help me prank Fennec? It'll be fun..." She said in a singsong voice.

Axel shrugged, finishing her coffee. At least he was honest.."Lets do it!" she grinned as he grabbed the offered beer. Draven never seemed to have a hangover. She shifted the flour to her right hand and headed out the door, crossing the hallway to Fennec's room. Key? she mouthed to her partner, pointing to the lock.

"Shut up...", came Dante's reply to Deirdre's comment about the previous night's 'events'. Not very original, but it was all his sleep deprived/hungover brain could come up with at the moment. He perked up a bit at her next suggestion about pranking Fennec though. The girl in his bed would be fine for a while, right? And even if she did wake up before he got back, she knew where the door was. Heartless, yeah, but that was the normal attitude that was Dante, the player.
"Sure. Let me just find a shirt.", he replied, scanning the room for the one he had on last night. That would be preferable, no sense in putting on a clean one when he was probably going to come back in and fall back into bed again to sleep off the hangover. That was the plan anyway.
He found the shirt, crumpled up at the foot of the bed, pulling it on, making his bed hair worse.
"Let's go then.", he said to Deirdre, heading for the door.

Deirdre couldn't help but smirk slightly at Dante, "Real original." She told him, playfully prodding his side, relieved when he put a shirt on. She held out the flour to Dante, "I'll throw the ice water on Fennec, you pour the flour on him so he looks like he's ready to be fried." She told him, grinning as she grabbed her backpack and water before skipping over to the door, just going to leave her skateboard in Dante's room for now. She could get it later.

As she stepped outside the door she saw Draven with Axel at Fennec's door, "Are we all going after Fennec today?" She laughed, a little but kept her voice down.

"I guess." Draven shrugged and got out his key to Fennec's room, slowly slipping it into the lock before throwing the door open and saying, "Get him! Even if you have to kick the door down in the process."

Axel laughed, ducking through the hotel room door, and opening the flour. The door to the bathroom was open, and she could just see Fennec's clothed leg in the crack of the open door. She grinned, and tugged on Draven's sleeve, pointing towards the door. She crossed the room, grasping the door handle and stepping to one side. She mouthed to him, 'one, two, three!', and yanked the bathroom door open.

It seemed like everyone else was involved in pranking Fennec this morning. Oh well, at least it wasn't him this time. There was nothing worse than waking up to icy water to the face when you were hungover. And yes, Dante had been in that situation before. Too many times. So it was nice to get back at someone, even if he couldn't get revenge on the two who actaully got him into that state. They were always the first up. Dante was usually the last, depending on how drunk he had been the night before.

One thing was bothering him though: How the hell had the twins got the keys to everyone else's rooms?

On the count of three Draven and Deirdre lunged through the door and at Fennec, tossing the ice water into the air at the poor little blonde haired boy, they skittered back immediately afterwards to avoid getting hit by Dante or Axel, standing back and grinning, clearly identical twins when they stood side by side, grinning like emerald eyed demons. Their hair was the same raven black, their skin the color of cream and their eyes the glittering jewel tone green, "Hiii, Fennec!" Deirdre said in a sing-song voice.

Axel cheered, swinging the sack of flour like a baseball bat so it covered Fennec. When the dust cleared, she actually fell to the floor with laughter at the sight of him covered in flour and freezing water. She laughed so hard she could barely breath.

Dante moved at the same time Axel did, though instead of swinging the bag at Fennec, he used his height to just dump the flour over the much smaller male. This had woke him up a bit, this prank. Not by much, and he still needed coffee to even be semi-human, but he was functional by this point at least. And in the grip of a full-blown laughing fit. And a Dante-laughing-fit lasted quite a while. By the time he had eventually calmed down, he was gasping for breath.

Fennec squeaked as his bathroom door was thrown open, but before he could react ice water was poured on him. Cussing echoed in the tiny bathroom, along with the laughter of his band-mates. Of course, a cloud of flour quickly descended upon him, releasing more cussing and laughter as Fennec scrambled out of the bathroom and shook his head, spraying flour, water, and a doughy mixture of the two around him. Quickly realizing the planners of the prank, Fennec practically tackle-hugged Draven and Deirdre.

"Hello, troublemakers!" Fennec made sure to get as much of the soggy, doughy flour onto the brother and sister as he could.

Releasing the siblings and holding up a finger to tell everyone to wait a moment, Fennec disappeared back into the bathroom. Returning with a mischievous grin on his face and a trash can in hand, he didn't hesitate. Icy water (and some ice cubes) flew from the bucket as Fennec tilted the bin and spun it in a half circle, making sure that all of the pranksters got wet.

"Good morning, everyone!" grinning, Fennec set the bin back in his bathroom. "I'd offer you towels, but most all of them seem to be covered in flour, so it looks like you'll just have to go back to your rooms soggy." he leaned against the wall, triumph clear on his face.

Axel squealed, waving her hands in front of her, trying to bat the water away. She glared at Fennec. "You're in trouble now, buddy!" she yelled, tackling him like he had tackled Draven and Deirdre, but tickling him instead. they rolled around on the floor, Axel getting as much of the doughy goop on her as was on Fennec. She squealed with laughter, scooping a fistful of the crud and squishing it into Fennec's face.

Dani walked down the hallway in the hotel she was to stay at with the other band members. She smiled slyly as she pulled out a key card. It was to Dante's room. She figured that she may as well have some fun and mess with him. When she found his door, she quietly used the key card to enter and snuch into his room where he would be sleeping. To her nonsurprise, there was a girl laying nude in his bed. She sighed and shook her head, then walked over to the side of the bed and picked up the pillow next to the girl's head. The girl only stirred a bit. Dani grinned and hit the girl in the head with the pillow. The girl's eyes shot open and she looked around. Dani laughed at her.

"Looks like you found your way to Dante's room. Hope you had a good night. Don't forget to pay me on the way out." Dani said, completely messing with the poor girl.

Dani looked around for the girl's clothes and threw them to her. She turned away and waited for her to get dressed, then she grabbed her arm and roughly led her out of the hotel room. Once the girl was gone, she headed to the next room over where she heard laughter and voices that sounded a lot like the other members. She smiled and entered the room, then leaned against the doorway. The scene before her was not so surprising to her, but amusing. She looked at Dante and gave him a teasing smile.

"You replaced me last night." she joked with a wink and a flirty smile.

Draven was laughing hysterically at the sight, almost falling into the goop when Fennec returned, taking the prank surprisingly well but when the he started throwing the ice cubs around, Draven went to make a run for it but got tackled as he slipped on the goop covered floor, Deirdre however was more sure footed, but still got tackled by Fennec, however she wiggled out of his grasp and scampered into the corner, looking rather pleased with herself as she shook flour out of her black hair.

"You replaced me last night. Dani said, leaning against the doorway and giving Dante a flirty wink and smile, making Deirdre begin to walk away, brushing flour out of her hair.

Draven however whom lacked a brain filter couldn't resist making a comment, "So that's what all the noise is usually. You know these hotel room walls are real thin." He said.

Dante, now fully awake due to the water, returned the wink, "Who? That girl? Nah, she was just keeping the bed warm for you. You could've took over at any time.", he replied, equally flirty, while trying to wring the water out his hair. He then walked over and playfully smacked Draven on the back of the head, in response to said boy's comment about the walls.
"You'd only know that if you were actually listening. The walls aren't that thin.", he retorted, before getting out of the way of a possible counter-attack. He had noticed Deirdre walking away, but thought nothing much of it. Both the twins were kind of weird, in his opinion. They were way too happy in the morning for one thing.
The hilarity seemed to be mostly over, so Dante intended to take this chance to go back to his room, get dried off, then fall straight back into bed. He was a little surprised to find that the girl from last night had gone already.
Ah well, more bed for me., he thought as he found a towel and dried off his hair.

"Not thin? Dude, Even I heard you, and I was outta my head last night!" Axel said, standing up and brushing as much as the goop off as she could, flicking the occasional bit at Draven and making it bounce off his head. Axel was very easily amused. She yawned, and stretched out her arms. "Guys, I'm gonna go take a shower. Oh, and if you're in my room later, you'll get a present!" she grinned, ducking out of the room and into her own, padding over to the shower and flicking it on. She crossed to her case, which she didn't really bother unpacking, and pulled out a random shirt with a skateboard on it, a pair of jeans and some fresh underwear. Once she plopped them onto the seat, she went for her shower.

Dani smiled and walked in from the doorway to the rest of them. She noticed Deirdre start to walk away.

"Dei, where do you think you're going you knuckle-head? You can't escape me." she said playfully.

Dani stepped closer to Fennec and laughed. He was a mess. They were all a mess, but it seemed that Fennec recieved the worst of it. As she examined the goopy Fennec, she glanced at the two leaving.

"Going to conserve water you two? We can have a party in my shower if you'd like." she asked in her usual flirtatious manner.

She leaned down and picked some of the goop off of Fennec and rubbed in on herself.

"This is just like the mud I used to play in." she said with a smirk.
