Charis started towards Ryuusei when the professor spoke to her again and she stopped. "Thank you so much, Professor, I promise I won't let you down. I wanna be one of your best students like Logan or Storm." She then bowed again to him and went to Ryuusei's side.
"Yeah, I have a suitcase or two down there...Race you?"
She then opened the door and took off downstairs...who said moving into a new place couldn't be fun.

Rhona was aware of the people moving through the house as she sat in what they called the recreation room. She had turned on the monitor with various feeds for recreation and was paging through the on screen guide. She was searching for the show with talking equines that taught lessons about friendship. She enjoyed that one but was looking for another one. That was one with educational quality so she could learn more about the world. She had been denied those lessons unless it suited her creators. She was starting to get an understanding that they had a goal by denying her that information. That channel looked interesting, The History Channel, it was now on it and she was watching a history of booze. Ah yes spirits, liquor, hooch, or alcohol. That seemed like an innocent enough topic. She took a a seat and waited for it to begin. She didn’t really understand TV to much but watched it enough to find content she enjoyed to view. She really liked CNN and local news. It gave her intel on the world and surrounding community. She heard the pounding of footsteps as people ran through the house and seemed to be coming from the direction of the main hall. She raised the volume and continued to watch as the commercial ended and the program started. This one was covering whiskey and how it was made, how it was illegal in the United Stated during The Prohibition, and then the eventual repeal of the prohibition act. She found it very interesting and really enjoyed the part about bootleggers running ‘shine’ in souped up trucks. That eventually led to the sport of NASCAR. She found cars going in a circle very boring and a waste of time. She watched with a rapt attention and was learning so much from this singular program as it revolves around whiskey.

"Alright, we'll go get it." And started walking for the stairs, then suddenly Charis challenged him to a race. "Hold u-"
...But she was already gone...
He shrugged, "Guess she learned nothin' this morning." and continued walking to the stairs. Once he got there, he hopped onto the banister; feet facing outward, and slid down.
Passing by the Recc Room, he heard the TV and peaked in, Rhona was watching a history program about booze. "Is that gonna be on for awhile? Wouldn't mind watching it, myself."

Charis made it down to her bags on the ground floor then used her powers and picked them all up at once. She then chuckled, "I knew I would beat that guy Ruyssei down here but I had no clue it would be this easy."
She then stood there waiting for him to arrive and hopefully not die of boredom waiting...Truth was, after talking to the Professor, Charis was even more eager and waiting to do all the things at the school. She even forgot that she was upset in the first place.

Rhona just turned at looked at Ryuusei like he had interrupted life saving surgery. She pressed the guide button on the remote.
“No. It will be over in 37 minutes. You can probably find it later and watch it. I need something to do. I like the information this screen gives me but doesn’t get rid of my need to do something.”
She stood up and tossed him the remote.
“I’m going outside.”

He caught the remote, and when Rhona got up to leave the room, placed it in his pocket. He would check the listings when he got back downstairs. "And what might this 'somethin' be?"
She then said she was going outside. "If it's a beer run, give me a few minutes and I can give you a ride."

Charis was tired oif waiting on Ryussie to help her out so she started up the stairs and then passed by where he was,
"So you wanna watch tv more then help mm hun...no worries. Men like you are all the same....no wonder i'm a Lesbian." She then dropped her bags at the top of the stairs looking around to find her room and maybe a nice lady to help her out...

Rhona had never been on a thing called a beer run. She would have to do that. It sounded intriguing and would fill some of her time. She was more than happy to find out what this kind of run entailed. She had run many places it seemed and was quite possibly very fast according to Dr. McCoy. That was exciting and one thing she was eager to find out.
He said a great many things she didn’t understand but she had taken it all in and could recite it back. She had a good memory as well.
“A beer run sounds intriguing as I’ve never been on one. What is the target objective?”

Stephen had been listening from nearby. He walked toward them casually and spoke up, "A 'beer run' isn't actually a run. Well, not typically, anyway. And the objective is simply to obtain poison that some people like to ingest. It basically inhibits your mental and motor abilities."
He sighed as he stopped next to Ryuusei and Rhona before continuing. "I've never really understood why people turn to it. There aren't any positives to it from what I know. My parents told me stories of when they used to drink, and they're mostly filled with regret. Besides, I think one ought to be able to think clearly at any given time. Drinking alcohol tends to get in the way of that."

Ryuusei nodded. "Yeah, we just go to a few liquor stores and get drinks."
It sounded like Stephen had quite a negative opinion of alcohol, and Ryuusei could understand where he was coming from. He might not even be on Earth if his boys hadn't spent their take from a monster they'd just slain on several bottles of hard liquor. Then instead of waiting till they got back to the hideout, started in on the stuff early and stumbled onto the turf of one of their biggest rivals and decided to get some payback for shit they pulled the week before.
They shoved rags into the remaining bottles and lit them on fire, then hurled them through the windows of the abandoned apartment building the gang used as their main hideout which started the place on fire. The three hauled ass out of town to regroup...
And that's when those robots appeared...
But even after that shit, he'd still have a drink every now and then. Like today, nothing was really going on, so why not have a little fun?
"It's only REALLY 'poisonous' if you drunk too much in a short time, but since you wouldn't be by yourself, I wouldn't let that happen."

Meanwhile...
Chairs found her room carrying her bags into it and then just started staring out the window not paying attention to anything else.
If someone came by or into the room they might hear her talking out loud to herself.
"Well...You finally made it Ms. Hexas... you're where you belong...We hope....The Professor is one of the nicest people I have ever met and he even promised to help me find you...Momma...wherever you are...I miss you and love you with all my heart! I will find you...or die trying"
A few tears ran down while thinking of her mother...

"True enough, Ryuusei." Stephen thought to himself for a second before continuing, "I suppose I can see why some would turn to drink. If you've gone through some rough stuff, being able to forget about it for a bit would be quite tempting. I can't say that I've gone through anything bad enough I'd want to forget about it. I'm sure that's not the only reason someone would drink, so I wouldn't condemn someone for drinking, I just prefer other avenues instead."
Stephen leaned with his back to the wall. "Besides, I learned long ago that trying to force someone to do something only results in greater resistance."

((In Charis' Room))
She sat on her bed facing the door and wiped her eyes.
"Come on Charis...Momma Hexas would not allow us to sit and wallow in pity over something that I can do something about. Starting tomorrow, I am going to find my mother and bring her to the Mansion."

Rhona was looking between them as they discussed this beer run not really being a run and involved alcohol. Alcohol didn’t affect her and that was tied to as Dr. McCoy had said her extremely fast metabolism. It was already bad enough she was eating three times as much food as a person her body weight and size. This didn’t sound like something she wanted to do.
“Ok. I don’t think this beer run would be fun. Vehicles had a tendency to have accidents and usually the occupants are hurt.”
There was a flash of a vehicle rolling over and flashes of gunfire. She looked at Stephen.
“What do you suggest them?”

"Hmm..." Stephen thought to himself for a moment before continuing, "There are several things I could suggest, but they'd be mostly things I'd be interested in doing." he said. "Is there anything in particular you're interested in doing?"
