You Will Only See a Reptile

[Brian "Viper" Adder]

(January 14. Open to all after one page of Sophie & Brian being asshats to people)

The blonde youth leaned back on the bench where he and his sister were sitting, hands folded neatly over his knee which was crossed over his left leg. He looked prim and proper, no one ever guessing that behind those blue eyes sat a deadly viper ready to strike. He ran his tongue over a thin fang that sat rather close to his jaw, flicking the sharp fangs out to scare a group of very young children who happened to be passing by then retract them when their sitter turned to look. He'd sent the kids off crying.

He leaned back and breathed in before tilting his head towards his twin who was just as bundled up as he was. "It's too cold," he muttered, "Though on the positive side we don't have to look at nasty people wearing things they shouldn't."

[Sophie 'Atheris' Adder]

Letting out an audible sigh, a look of pure disgust pasting over her face as an overweight girl walked past them. Looking her over once, Sophie let out a partially unimpressed-partially disgusted huff. "Sometimes people will look nasty no matter what they wear," She groaned to her twin, chuckling evilly at the girl, who had quickly picked up her pace. The mutant felt no remorse, though, and it was as the victim shot the pair a pained glace before turning her power walk into a light jog away that she couldn't help but let her smile grow. Life had an order. There was a food chain. Sometimes it was just necessary to remind these losers who was at the top of the pyramid.

"But seriously, this cold is as awful as that kid's sweater," She grumbled, nodding her hat-clad head in the direction of a nerdy-looking guy with possibly the ugliest wool sweater she had ever seen. "It looks like Ke$ha puked on Santa Clause then they went and had a three-some with a Leprechaun," Sophie hissed, rolling her eyes once again before leaning back. The cold was pretty sucky, though. The spring was the best, because she could pick on kids without having to mummify herself in winter clothes or take a cold shower after breaking some already ugly kid's nose.

"What a lovely visual," Brian clucked, "Though I suppose it's better than actually looking at the sweater itself." His eyes cut to the side, glowing a violent amber color as some kids approached again. He leaned back, tucking his forearms and hands behind his head and breathing outwards. "They say it's the city that never sleeps," Brian yawned, "But I'm so GOD AWFULLY bored here. There's not much to do, is there." He tucked his head upwards and sneered.

"Besides people watch," he coughed, "Which you know I'll do everyday with you, sis." His eyes flowed towards another human, a male with skinny jeans. "I don't care what anyone says," he sneered, "Man or woman, if your jeans can be classified as a second layer of skin you have a SERIOUS problem." The hipster gave him a look as he continued.

"I'm sorry, I can't help but be grossed out by someone with toothpicks for legs," he continued, "If it looks like I can snap you in half you should go eat something."

[Sophie 'Atheris' Adder]

"They say that New York never sleeps. This is Salem, also known as Xavier's Institute for Losers and Sophie and Brian Adder," She grumbled, shaking her head once before letting out a huff. "That said, though, people watch can get far more exciting when you're at this school," She chuckled, raising her eyes as she spotted a kid with blue skin walking in the distance. Sure, blue skin was already unattractive as it was, but wearing blue jeans and a blue sweater? Someone must be feeling a little blue, Sophie chuckled inwardly before redirecting her attention.

Practically gagging, Sophie put a hand above her eyes, turning her head sideways. "I'd rather be forced to date that ugly kid with blue skin than a guy whose legs I could use to skewer hot dogs," She groaned, tossing him a sideways glance. "And then cut up his jeans and use them to suffocate half of the student body," She hissed, eyebrow raising at her own comment. "That," She stated, turning to her brother, "Actually sounds quite enjoyable," She chuckled before turning back to the innocent school-goers.

"After all, half of the kids here should be killed on behalf of awful fashion sense and obesity," Sophie groaned, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

[Brian "Viper" Adder]

Brian yawned, fangs stretched to again freak out a group of children skipping by. This time they ran off screaming. Brian snickered and leaned back, lying on his sister's legs. An affectionate scene between brother and sister. They looked so similar people wouldn't have thought otherwise. Brian crossed his hands over his chest and gazed up at the sky. "Explain to me why in the hell in a city of poise and fashion that there are people like this, sister," he mused, "I mean shouldn't you have to pass a test in order to get over the bridge into this God forsaken hellpit of a city?"

He lifted up and let out a hiss as another unattractive whelp walked by, long greasy hair, a t-shirt barely covering his fat stomach and a pair of ripped blue-jeans. "EW, what in the-oh my," he spat, letting the person hear him, "I can handle ugly, but that's like circus ugly. Please sir, go back to the basement you crawled out of!"

[Sophie 'Atheris' Adder]

Sophie gave a satisfied snicker as she watched the kids race off. If they were dogs - which all children may as well should be - their tails would have been tucked between their legs as they raced away from the pair. Features calm, she tapped her fingers on her brother's shoulder in a rhythmic pattern as she listened to him speak. Offering a pft the blonde nodded her head in solid agreement before throwing a glare at an older-looking business man that was looking at the two in a fashion that the mutant didn't appreciate. Given the chance, she would have snapped his wrist, just to set him straight. "Well, until we find a way to have a chat with the mayor that's letting these disgusting people with mingle with those of our status - not that there are very many - we'll have to run our own tests," She stated, the corners of her cherry red lips drawing into a smile. "Perhaps these bilge rats might get the hint and go somewhere where overweight, disgusting, and out-of-style is accepted and/or appreciated." Sophie nodded, amber orbs flicking from her brother's own back up to those walking past.

Of course, the man walking was simply the perfect example of such. Scowl replacing her smirk, she looked the man over, both unimpressed and repulsed by his appearance. "Ever heard of soap and exercise?" Sophie hissed, running a hand through her blonde locks. "If you're going to bother showing your face in public stop walking and start jogging!" She spat, not bothering to lower her voice. After all, she was just sparing America of one more obese person. Hell, she was doing him a favour! "Or at least try a power walk. Something fast so my eyes don't have to be pained with the sight of you anymore," The snarky blonde grumbled, speaking moreso to Brian, at this point. Not that she didn't feel as though the man should hear what she had to say!
