Thanks! I should thank you actually, since I probably would have never put them up if you hadn't let me brag about my trip and stuff x) Yeah, a few people have messaged me about them.

That sucks, how can someone not feel extremely guilty walking out like that and leaving everyone else on the team hanging??

Aw yeaahhh, highest mark of the day. Congratulations, that's awesome! Looks like you guys handled it pretty well despite everything.

Phew! I was worried it was going to be a long term thing :/

No worries, these last few days have been hectic for me too, since the school year is almost over. Luckily I have the next couple days free for Easter Break yay :D

Here's some info about my character:


Booker Calhoun was born in 1838, the son of a poor white fisherman in the bayous of Louisiana. He worked at the docks slinging nets and repairing boats with other poor whites and blacks alike. Despite the fact that Louisiana had one of the largest populations of free African Americans in the U.S. at the time, the state still generated most of its wealth from the labor and trade of slaves. When the other Southern States began seceding from the Union, Louisiana followed suit. Booker had absolutely no desire to fight for the interests of wealthy plantation owners, but he was drafted into the Confederate Army nonetheless. He should have died from those bullet wounds at the Battle of Baton Rouge. As he lay on his back, looking up at the summer sky, hot lead lodged into his stomach and chest, he knew he was about to die. By some miracle…or curse…he woke up hours later, feeling very much alive and unnaturally thirsty. The thirst was so powerful, it nearly drove him insane. His new, strong body carried him effortlessly through the swamps until he found a group of haggard Union soldiers, still recovering from the bloody massacre. They screamed when they saw him and tried to flee. Booker caught up to each one and still couldn’t satisfy the awful ache to devour...

Over the years, Booker’s new abilities have made him cocky and carefree. A self-assured attitude and lazy smirk are his trademarks. He can be very stubborn and hotheaded when he’s irritated. His ego is huge; he despises being shown up or bending to someone else’s rules. He ever backs down from a challenge.

Booker’s Louisiana accent is not quite as strong as it used to be, although he still knows how to lay out that sweet southern drawl when he wants to charm. He loves the hunt and he loves to play with his food. A few rounds of ‘catch and release’ is always a fun way to tire them out until he’s ready to enjoy.

Booker met Lisette in the early days of his new existence. She bugs the hell out of him most of the time and seems to be the only one who knows how to rile him up. He gives just as much as he gets, of course, and enjoys getting under her skin. But despite all their bicker and banter, he acknowledges that they share a profound connection. He might be loath to admit any type of admiration for her, but he does trust her. Any enemy of hers is an enemy of his. He’d go so far as to say she’s like a sister to him – but not out loud or anything.

Your school year is almost over? Riiiight, uni ends earlier then high school does. Damn you're lucky. We literally just got our mid term report cards, so I still have half a term before exams start. *shudders* I don't like to think about it. XD Wait... do you have to write exams in your design classes??

Ooh! Love Booker's bio! That last bit is adorable XD When are you thinking we should bring Lisette and Booker in?

Nope, no exams for my design classes >;} But we do have huge final projects...and I do have a stats exam...D:

Thanks! Hm, I was thinking Mila and Charlie could part ways, and then we could have it go one of two ways: Booker and Lisette encounter Charlie when she's alone, and then Mila stumbles across the three of them. Or, we could have Booker and Lisette run into Mila first. They have a friendly but tense chat, maybe they convince her to stick around with them for a while. She's sort of ambivalent about it, but agrees. And then the three of them run into Charlie somehow. I think I like the second one. What do you think? We could do something totally different.

Ugh, just thinking about this is giving me a headache. Exams make me a nervous wreck, it gets really bad.

I'm cool with the second idea! I think it'll be interesting to see how the three of them react before they meet Charlie. As for how they could meet her, maybe she is doing her thing playing for tips on the side walk it's late. she packs up and starts going home. Lisette, Booker and Mila just happen to be in the same area as she is and they stumble across each other. Shit goes down, blah blah blah and we can just kinda go from there.Thoughts?

Ah man, don't feel nervous and psych yourself out! It's break time anyway, we gotta push exams out of our minds for now x)

Yeah, yeah, I like that idea! Now we just need to figure out where Mila would run into those two. Could be a nightclub? She plans to get one more meal before she skips town, and runs into the two of them chasing their own prey.

EDIT: Hey btw, the site's probably not going to crash again, but just in case it does, can I give you this email? reach.red.rp@gmail.com You can contact me there, if you want. That way, we don't have to end our rp story prematurely, just because of some technical difficulties.

Yes. I like that! Okay, this is a good plan (I feel as if this moment calls for a circle of brawny football players chanting "One, two, three team" or something... but that might just be me XD). Is there anything else we need to figure out? I don't think so...

Oh, thanks. That's actually a good plan. I'll give you mine as well, just in case. It is emily.guildemail@gmail.com.

Lol, it does though xD And then they have to shout "ready, break!"

Yeah, I think we're good! We got the basic plot points, so we can just fill in the other stuff as we go.

Thanks :) hopefully the site will stay up and we won't actually have to use these.

Hey have you ever read the Book Thief?

We really need our own football team. XD

Okay, perfect! Alsooo, I'm almost finished with the post I'm working on!

No, I've never read that. I heard that it was really good though, a guy in my English class last term was reading it and he said it was good. Isn't it a movie? Or being made into a movie or something?? I might be thinking of something else though...

We really do. We obviously know the lingo. xD

Sweet!

Yep, the movie was already out in theaters, and it's on On Demand now too. I'm at my parents' house right now for break, and my brother's here too and we all wanted to watch a movie together (aw xD), so we were browsing through movie trailers and watched the one for The Book Thief and it looked great, but my brother didn't want to watch it so we watched Captain Philips instead, which was pretty good. Anyway lol, all of this to say that it made me want to read the book before I watched the movie, and it's really good so far! I totally recommend it.

Obviously! :P

Haha, aww that's cute that you and your family still watch movies together <3 My parents want to watch one tonight but they've been annoying lately (not that I don't love them but I told one little lie and now they apparently don't trust me enough to go to my best friends house, it wasn't even that bad, and if they had known where I was really going they would have flipped so yeah... anyways) so I'm not going to watch one with them. :p Anywho, back to the topic, what is the book about?? I'll I've ever heard aabout it is that it's really good so maybe I'll have to read it.

Edit: Oh wow, that made me seem like a super petty teenager. Haha, it's way more complicated then I made it seem, and honestly I don't blame them for being super protective right now. Anyways... this is an awkward over share... *smile and wave boys, smile and wave* XD

Lol, it's ok, you can rant if you want, I won't judge x)

It's set in Nazi Germany and it's about a girl who hides books so they won't be burned the Nazi's. Lot's of other stuff happens, I'm making it sound boring, but it's really good.

Soooo, I don't want to be nosy or anything, but why would they have freaked out if you'd told them where were you going?

You're not making it sound boring! It actually does sound like it would be a really interesting book, not the type of thing that I usually read but I might have to give it a try anyways. :)

Oh... yeah. Well, you see, my parents are kinda over protective and I don't really "go out" a lot with my friends, we mostly just go to each others houses and be lazy, so when I actually go somewhere my parents want to know exactly what I'm doing every single minute.

So the other day my best friend, a rando dude that she's friends with, and myself all went out to see The Lego Movie together (oh my god, I thought it was going to suck but it was actually really good. If you haven't already seen it, you should XD). My parents were hounding me all night to make sure I texted them with everyplace that we went and all of this stuff but, this is where it gets awkward, my friends wanted to park somewhere and smoke. If my parents had known that I went to a park and watched my friends do drugs they would have flipped their shit, but they ended up finding out anyways and now they don't want me going anywhere. So yeah, they are kinda right but I didn't do anything so it's not even that bad.

Ha, I actually really do want to see the Lego Movie, I've heard it was fantastic. I kept seeing ads for it online and thought it would be terrible, but I'm finally convinced that I need to see it x)

Ahh man, that does suck. How'd they find out anyway?? My parents were pretty protective too, but now that I don't live with them, they don't hover over me like they used to. But I don't think they have any reason to think they need to hover over me. I'm over the legal drinking age, so no problems there anymore. They know I don't smoke anything, since I'd never want that to interfere with playing soccer. There's only one, uh, sort of serious thing they might freak out about lol, which would be some of the people I've dated in the past. They don't know about that, and I'm not too interested in casually mentioning it haha. They're very conservative. I might not ever need to mention it anyway, who knows.

EDIT: Rando. That reminds me, I did try out that word on my friends. They didn't even blink! So I said it again and pointed out that I said it, and they were like, uh yeah, rando. That's been around. XD So apparently I'm the only one late to the party.

Do it! Oh my god the plot twist at the end will kill you. XD

My cousin overheard me telling my sister something about it and I'm pretty sure she was the one who blabbed. Yeah, I think that they'll probably loosen up a little bit in a couple years. I've never been the one to go out to random places so it's just kind of new to them I think. Boo you for being over the legal drinking age... I still have *counts on fingers* only three years, not that bad. I don't really like drinking anyways, lowered inhibitions freak me out. Haha, oh my goodness, what type of people have you dated?? Me myself, no people. I have not dated no people for a very long time and the most interest I have gotten from anyone is some comments from my best friends ex and it was super creepy. *shudders*

Oh my god, really? Hahahaha, I've honestly never heard it outside of dance class... that's great :P

Whoa hey wait a minute, the drinking age in Canada is 19?? Not fair! xD haha, not that it matters to me anymore. It's 21 in the US. I'm not a heavy drinker at all, but it's fun to have drinks with my friends and all get a little buzzed together x) but not shit faced or anything! One of my friend's roommates is on the border of becoming an alcoholic. It's not fun for anyone involved. Apparently she comes home so drunk on weekend nights that she can't even stand, she has to have someone help her get around. And it's like she's a different person. My friends and I don't drink like that. In fact, I don't think I can say I've ever been drunk before, and I don't have any interest in trying it. Too busy to deal with a hangover in the morning anyways. Lowered inhibitions don't freak me out though, as long as I'm comfortable with the people I'm with and the place I'm in.

Yikes, keep the creepy people away from you D: Haha, no see, they wouldn't freak out if they actually met them, I haven't dated psychos or anything xD Of the four people I've been with in my life, all have been decent and total parent pleasers. They just haven't all been guys.

So what movie did your parents want to watch anyway?

It's actually eighteen in Quebec I'm pretty sure :p Not that I'm much of a drinker. A glass of wine during the holidays or something. That really is shitty about your friend's roommate. I know first hand what it's like knowing someone with alcoholism, my uncle has been an alcoholic for well over half his life now and the stories I could tell you are scary, and I only know that half of it. He's threatened suicide, abused his wife while she was pregnant, disappeared for days on end and it's gotten to the point where most of us just don't care about him anymore. The shittiest part is that he is really involved with his grandchildren's lives and they've seen more then I personally think young children should. Okay, so the only reasons I freak a little about it's affects is because a. alcoholism is actually in my families genes, I would rather not risk it and b. I'm a little bit impulsive as it is haha.

Ooh, okay I see. Well that's no big deal! Haha, at least you have it all figured out. I'm still not really sure where I stand with that type of thing. #touchy subject alert XD

They wanted to see Insidious Chapter Two! We're all huge horror buffs at my house :p Have you seen it? And oh my god speaking of horror movies watch this trailer, it looks soooo good:


Edit: Also, sorry that I took so friggen long to reply. I have the flu... so yeah DX
