Jessie: *produces jelly beans* AHA!! Jelly BEANS!!! *opens and munches some, and offers some to everyone* I know what you mean, though . . . There's too many 'Jessie's' in this world . . . Boys, girls, dogs . . . I was almost Althea once . . . or Regina, but my dad decided that naming me after his ex-girlfriend was a great idea . . . >.>
Lysandor: *to Lye* That she is . . . *sighs* It makes life interesting, to say the least . . .
Jessie: Oddly enough, I don't know most of my family . . . Me ma says she was trying to keep me away from most of them . . .
Lysandor: *so only Lye can hear* Actually, I'm of the opinion that her mother was keeping her relatives away from HER . . .

Karen giggles and says , "I have a roommate named Jessie. She's gorgeous, man. May I have a few red jelly beans? And Betty's not that bad of a name Sadie....there are alot of nice old ladies named Betty..."
She pauses here to giggle. "I don't even know how many of my family members have J names.....I'd prefer not to know...especially since they're in my family..." She laughs then and gets a cookie or two just in case she gets hungry later.

Becky :Hey Betty Page.. rowr! And I'm a sucker for vintage stuff so I think Betty is an awesome name. And Ellen is pretty too... I'd have to look it up but I think it means something nifty... I like Rebecca personally... it's got a good meaning... and some cool nicnames. I'm only still going by Becky cuz I'd forget to answer to anything else. ^.^
Queenie: Ohh... hey.. Quiz time! Who know my real name and it's origins!

Ciel: *giggle* Don't look at me...I'm just supposed to call her Majesty.
Karen: You wouldn't even know...*laughs*

Karl walks in wearing his scholars cap and circular glasses looking very much like a German history professor. He cracks open his large dusty book and clears his throat, *Ahem* "Today class we will learn the origin and meanings of our names..." he says with his lips puckered trying not to giggle. "We shall begin alphabetically... character to follow." He says peering over the glasses at the end of his nose, "Is... everyone... paying attention?... Then we shall begin." He pauses as he bows his back so he is looking down his nose at the book and he begins, CHAD: Ancient Hebrew meaning "warring, warlike, warrior." ZAREK: Greek, meaning "May God protect the King." JEFF: Anglo Saxon, Diminutive of Jefferson, "son of Jeffrey" and Jeffrey, "peaceful ruler, God's peace." POX: Festering boil like growth on the skin resulting in itchy, runny puss filled sores. Various types are all viral based, mildly infectious, some strains can lead to paralysis or death approximately 16 to 30% mortality. Abrupt onset of fever and prostration with a macular rash on the third day (head, limbs, hands and feet rather than trunk, including palms and soles, also inside the mouth.) Progress to vesicles which become pustular, ulcerated and eventually scab over, heals with scarring. JESSIE: Hebrew, Diminutive of Jessica, "he sees." Variants include: Jessi and Jessye. Diminutive is Jess. LYSANDER: Greek meaning "liberator, emancipation." KAREN: Danish or Norwegian diminutive of Greek Katherine meaning "pure." Variants include: Karin, Karyn and Katrine. Ciel: French meaning "Sky, Heavens." KARL: Old German name meaning "one who is strong, man, manly." Variants include" Carl, Kale, Karel, Karlan, Karlens, Karli, Karol, and Karoly. THANE: Old English meaning "Attendant Warrior, follower, disciple." KENT: Old English meaning "from Kent, boarder, coast, bright white." KAHN: Old Mongolian/Chinese meaning "Ruler." Diminutive of Genghis Kahn "Universal Ruler" (also rumered to be the worlds greatest lover.) www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030205-100301-1566r go here for details, Wink, wink. REBECCA: Ancient Hebrew; meaning "captivating, bound, tied." Variants include Rebekah, Rebeckah, Rebeccah, Rebeca, Rebeka, Rebeque, Rebekka, Rebakah, Rebequa, Becky, Bekki, Becca, Becha, Becka, Riba, Reba, Riva, Reeba, Ree, Rivka, Rifka, Rivca, Rivy. SARAH: Hebrew meaning, "princess." Variants include: Sadie, Sara, Sally, Sallie, Sarita. LYE: Chinese meaning "Beautiful strength." Actual spelling Li, but the same pronunciation. Also a corrosive mineral found in soap and other household and gardening products. The big book slams shut with a cloud of dust. Karl looks up, "You'll have to explain your own name darlin', I couldn't find any thing for you." Karl winks at the queen, ."If I overlooked anyone else, tuff noogies."

Karen claps and says, "Did your homework I see." She laughs.
Ciel just sits on the floor wondering what's next.

Jessie: *winces at mention of true name, and hisses* Ebil name!! Too many of THOSE running around . . . But you also forgot another meaning: wealthy . . . I remember that, 'cause I'm as poor as sin!
Lysandor: *looks over* It's Greek? Meaning 'liberator'? *glares at Jessie* You and your twisted, human ways . . .
Jessie: *holds up hands* Hey, I completely forgot all about it until Karl brought it up again . . . *thinks* Sorta ironic that Lyssie's name means liberator when he's more bound than most by his insanity . . . *runs behind Karl to escape Lysandor's glare* He's being mean to me!!
Lysandor: *grumbles to himself about 'silly human females'*
Jessie: *hands jelly bean bag to Karen* Here . . . It's the Starburst Jelly Beans, so the red ones aren't what you might think . . . *pops in a few lemons, and forgets all about Lysandor*
Lysandor: You know . . . she has, on occasion, forgotten to eat and sleep . . . *a plastic spoon bounces off his head*
Jessie: Oh! Almost forgot. The Most High Queen of Hell's full name is Ereshkigal de Lucifer . . . the 'de Lucifer' signifies that she is the daughter/child of Lucifer . . . but the other parts . . . *shrugs* My best guess is that it was from a random name generator . . . and let's face it, that's a pretty poor guess, ne?

*Suddenly the door bursts inward and all eyes turn to see a girl standing with a crazed look in her eye. Her hair and clothes are disheveled, her face covered with streaks of charcoal and her shirt dotted with blobs of paint. She seems to be dragging a bench easel that's chained to her ankle. She lifts a paintbrush triumphantly*
Rachel: I have ESCAPED! *trips over the chain and falls flat on her face* *Yashea walks in after her and calmly stares down at her with a raised eyebrow* Yashea: It's your own fault for taking double hours this semester, you know. R: *whines* I was trying to catch uuuuuuup! *she turns her head to everyone, still on the floor* Hey everyone, sorry I'm-- Y: *AHEM!* R: -_-; --we're late. School is throughly kicking mine arse. Y: Whatever, don't complain, it's your own fault. Now, you told me there'd be cookies. R: *mumbles* But complaining is like the only fun thing I get to do...oh and I overheard the name thing. You know mine means 'ewe?' Y: You? R: HAR HAR. *glares* Y: *snickers*

Becky: Actually.. no.. Queenie picked her own name. Right?
Queenie: Yep! "Ereshkigal is the Sumerian goddess of the underworld. Ereshkigal was a cunning and clever goddess who ruled over the underworld." And I quote! Also the first time we saw her mentioned it said she refered to herself as "A princess of darkness"- Which fit... and so it became my given name. But everyone still calls me "Ghostie", anyway.

Sadie: Knew mine, actually, very good. Lye on the other hand...I had no idea it was actually a highly corrosive base (like 13/14 pH which is really bad) when I named her but soon found out and thought it fit. Li meaning beautiful strength is new to me and it fits so well, ne?
Lye: a compliment? I am wary... *to the Queen* Hey, at least I have an excuse: the way you know I'm being dead serious is when I call you Ereshkigal, otherwise it's Ghostie."

Karl blinks twice at Rachel and Yashea as they make their fashionably late appearance. Karl waves, "Hello new people..." he says with a grin. He makes his way to them and extends a hand for a friendly greeting, "I'm Karl, and that is Thane." he says pointing to the shadows where two fire red eyes peer from the darkness. "Seeing you reminds me of myself when I went to art school in Phoenix, Arizona... Well, Tempe actually but most aren't as familiar with that suburb of the great desert town." He smirks, "Welcome... ah... Rachel is it?" Then he glances to the pretty fallen, "And you are?" as he hands Yashea the plate with the cookies.
A grumble from the shadows retorts, "Who else could it be?" as Thane's massive and furry form emerges from the shadows on all fours. "Rachel and Yashea." Thane sneers. "No detective are you." He snorts.
"Just like you are no diplomat, are you Thane?" Karl quips back sarcastically. "Please excuse him ladies..." Karl says looking distraught, "He can be rather blunt, But it is still nice to meet you!"
Karl becomes busy scribbling in the big book: Ereshkigal, Sumarian meaning, "Sumerian goddess of the underworld, Princess of Darkness."... "OK, got it." he says triumphantly. "Just for fun let's see what Yashea means..." he says as he begins to thumb through the book. *Mumbeling to himself* "Volodya, Vladik, Vladya, Yakov, Yaremka, Yerik, Yasha... Oh here we go, Yasha, Russian, meaning "Defender of man" Female dirivitive Yashia, Yashea... Cool."

Queenie looks guilty...
"I didn't do it.. Swear!!"
Becky giggles, "Well we do have somethings in common... that's exactly what I do when called Rebecca." She waves madly at Yashea and Rachel.
"Want a towel?"

Lysandor: *sighs and shakes head* *looks up at sky* You . . . You're punishing me, aren't You?!

*Rachel shakes Karl's hand from the floor, grinning, then scrambles up, using the bencheasel as a seat. Convienant! She giggles at Karl and Thane's exhange, then turns to Karl.* Rachel: Oh, you were an art major? Awesomeness, what'd you study? I've heard good things about the schools in Phoenix.
*Yashea smiles at Karl and Thane with a cookie-stuffed mouth * Yashea: Ahh, fank oo for fe cookief...er....forry... *sheepishly wipes crumbs from Karl's shirt*
R: Don't mind her, it's just she hasn't had cookies...um... when did you last have 'em, Yash?
Y: *happy* Nefer!
R: Oh, hey Becky, Queenie...a towel? Why would I need...*sighs* I have charcoal all over my face, don't I?
Y: *grins, stuffing another cookie in her mouth* Of course.
R: Always! *to Becky* Yes, that's be really nice.
Y: *waves at Rachel* Shush, Karl's gonna tell me where my name came from!
R: Oh, well honestly I completely made...*blinks to hear the origin* Oh wow. Hey, that's kinda neat Yash, it's like--" *turns to greet wide amber eyes giving her a death glare*
Y: DEFENDER OF MAN!?!!? *twitch*
R: Uh...heh heh. *sweatdrop* It's, ah...irony?
Y: NO IT'S...oh wait it is. *sits down in a huff* You still suck.
R: Nyah nyah! And I -totally- planned that too. *smiles and waves at Jessie and Lysandor* Oh, jelly beans! ^^ Thank you!

"Jeeefff!" Becky yelps and with a resigned sigh she starts sucking pudding off her fingers.
"I knew you were gonna do something like this... oyi.."
The Queen eyes PoX for a moment, while her dress devours the pudding.
"And.. you just let him douse your Queen in pudding....not funny jester... how ever... everyone else covered in is hilarious!!!" And she laughs all the way to the closet where she gets towels and hands them out. She goes to Ciel last, wiping a bit of pudding off Ciel's nose and licking it off her finger with a wink.

"Ah, well it was more of a trade school that I attended..." Karl nods at Rachel, "I got a Associate Art degree in 'Graphic/Advertising design and Illustration'." He shrugs, "So that officially makes me a struggling artist, per say. This is my web gallery if you are interested in seeing my fantasy art." he scribbles his URL: xenoform.deviantart.com/ " Just click on the gallery link and that will take you to my art." And then the jello pudding smacks him in the face. "Well, I won't be starving any time soon though it appears." Karl licks his lips and scrapes the pudding out of his eyes, "I'm so glad that this isn't poo... I had my mouth open and everything..." Karl reaches for the towels Becky offers, "Thank you Becky... Good one Jeff, all of a sudden I have this odd urge to wrestle with the ladies..." Thane begins to show how flexable he is to everyone's dismay as he licks himself clean ... completely clean. (OOC mod. for typo correction.)

Lye and Sadie are barely miffed that they're covered in pudding, but even that bit disappears as they look at eachother, point, and start giggling like crazy. Sadie stops laughing first as she spots Thane.
Lye: Well, you know the old joke about dogs. And why they lick themselves. Sadie: ehh? Lye: Because they can.

Karen waves at the two who arrived. "Hi! I'm Karen , though you can really call me Kari,it's rather shorter. And that adoarble Devilcat/Leccubi over there is Ciel."
Ciel giggles and says, "That would be me. I am Ciel Trakand. " She curtseys to the two ladies. "Nice to make your..."
As she is saying this, the pudding falls. Ciel laughs and looks to Jeff. "Nice one human. Now I suppose I'll have to wash myself. Though I do not believe you will all have the pleasure of seeing it in public." She gigles again as the Queen makes her gesture and she begins to purr. "I do so love it when you clean me Highness..."
Karen meanwhile was just about to take the proffered jelly beans when the pudding hit. She shakes her arms to remove the pudding there and wipes her eyes and mouth,looking at Karl. She laughs, "Great... And I thought I was gonna stay clean at this shindig." Winks at Karl and says," I'll only wrestle if you let me win...and get me a new skirt outfit. Pudding is not my color."
Ciel chuckles and says, "Though it does suit you kitten."
Karen looks her way, giggles out loud then blushes , replying, "That's enough out of you, oh I'm-too-sexy one. The last thing I need is incrimination from you."
Ciel smirks and says nothing more, but can barely contain laughter behind her hand.
(moded for spelling...^^; it's early)

Jessie: *yelps* *looks at chocolate-pudding-covered mess that is her clothes and body* Arr . . . Damnit! It'll take me HOURS to get this trench coat cleaned . . . At least nothing got in the pocket . . . *takes out napkins she keeps around for occasions such as these* *proceeds to wipe away what she can of the chocolate jello* And nothing got in the jelly bean . . . *winces at thought of chocolate jello and jelly beans*
Lysandor: *blinks at being covered* *looks at mess in confusion* What is this . . . substance . . .? *looks at Jessie* I do not recall anything like this ever being in your larder . . .
Jessie: *sighs* That, my dear Fallen, is because we are too poor to get it . . . We need necessities, and unfortunately, pudding is not among them . . .
Lysandor: But Dr. Pepper is?
Jessie: Yup! ^-^ *takes swig of said drink taken from the pockets of the trench coat*
Lysandor: *raises eyebrow* Riiight . . . *takes some of the chocolate concoction on his finger, and attempts to taste it*
Jessie: *screams and tackles Lysandor* NO!!! No sugar for you!!! You KNOW how you get with sugar!!! *is practically terrified* I don't know if you remember, but the LAST time that happened we were at the zoo!! You almost got eaten by a very agitated tiger, and then you tried to make friends with the bears! And then-
Lysandor: Okay, okay, they get the picture . . . I won't eat the chocolate pudding, or any sugary concoction, are you happy now?
Jessie: *lets him up slowly* Kinda . . . *grins at everyone* Sorry, but Lysandor can get rather . . . weird . . . with too much sugar . . . and that can be only a single M&M . . . >.> As I remember all to clearly . . .
