@Ghost Queen

Prepare for an onslaught of old man jokes.

"Need a walker Gramps?"

"Excuse me sir, need some help crossing the road?"

[Ghost Queen]

@Write
Ooh, scathing. "Sorry Yuki, but is that crows feet I spy?"

@Ghost Queen
We're team Old People. Angels don't count because they're born outside of space-time rules. They cheat.

Not stressed at all! I have a lot of second hand experience with PTSD as my father was a solider and my brother was in a really bad car accident. I really do appreciate the warning though, I totally understand why someone would want to make sure something like mental illness is portrayed respectfully and properly. I want to be very clear though - I have experience seeing it but obviously I don't know what it is like having it. If I say or do anything that is construed as offensive let me know for sure!

Thanks for the warning though I do seriously apprecaite it! :)

_{Also I'm really glad you like Aila because I already love her}

@Write

Anytime! I try not to assume things, but I do like to make sure everyone here's as comfortable as possible. But, yeah, I already trusted you do be able to portray it well, but now I have a feeling I know you will.

I never want to try to come off as restricting, though, so I'm glad (stil hope) it didn't come off that way. XD

<sub>she's wonderful and deserves to be hugged twenty-five/eight. if she needs a few people to room with, she can crash with daniel and ethan. ;D i'm sure she'd love to be doted on by two extremely hot guys even though that means she'd be forced to endure and watch a lot of oblivious pining.

"all these hot guys in the building and i get stuck between the two in denial idiots in love."</sub>

tfw Michael makes a comment, "When I was your age..."

[Write]

@HalfOfLancelot

....

I will be changing her room number..

One moment.......

[Ghost Queen]

@HalfOfLancelot
Pfff, Michael can't talk about age. The guy(?) is eternal years old, both infinetly old and young all wrapped into one paradoxical package.

[HalfOfLancelot]

@Ghost Queen

Hey, at least he owns it.

He wears those simultaneous crows-feet baby face with great pride.

"I'm fashionable, yet cultured in a non-hipster way. I'm the whole package." as he proceeds to sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

<sub>he also goes by whatever. it's mostly he and he'll say he considers this humanoid body a he, but he'll respond to whatever is directed at him. he also occasionally wears dresses and walks around in heels because sometimes, girls just wanna have fun.

no i'm not trying to make him like deadpool; i'm actually striving to stay as far away from that as possible, but sometimes, you know, a guy has to wear a dress and feel pretty.</sub>\

Essentially, Michael is the male-ish embodiment of Liriia. Because I just described her entirely.

@HalfOfLancelot

Edited the relationships and room number! History is on it's way as well!

[Ghost Queen]

Welp, sleep is finally calling my name. See you guys later!

[HalfOfLancelot]

Jesus Christ, I found Michael's Playlist

@Ghost Queen

NIGHT SWEET DREAMS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR SEXY GRANDPA (WOW I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT)

[Write]

History is up.

Fair warning, I decided to do her history in a very strange way. If it's way too non-informational let me know and I can re-write it!

[HalfOfLancelot]

So far they're only quotes. I'll be filling them in in just a lil bit. Aaaa.

EDIT: reading all of danny's quotes and thinking about it without the context i had in mind makes him seem like an all assuming asshole. which...

yeah that was the purpose. SHHH

Danny's Relationships

Nikita Yankovsky
"Yeah, her porn's as good as her cop gig—sub par and filled with cock-toting men."

"So, I'm guessing that's not the first time you wore that outfit," Daniel quipped from behind his place in the pub. Nikki gave him a blank stare and he felt the beginnings of a laugh bubble up his throat. "Well," he disappeared beneath the counter top, his hand clenching the side of the polished wood to steady him, a single Carebear nail glued crooked on his index finger.

After a moment, Daniel slowly lifted up, a DVD case in his hand and a shit eating grin lifting his lips. It took Nikki a pause before her brows lifted and then furrowed, "You mother fucker."

"I mean, I'm sure I could find something like that. But, this one's priceless," Daniel's lopsided smirk rose just slightly and he shook the case, "a little Hollywood, eh... Blondie?"

"I'm not above gutting you, Danny Kid," Nikki growled, "I'm sure Boytoy Dorito over there would hate to find his future boyfriend clutching a bloody porno DVD."

"Yeah, I didn't have to guess who the bad cop was, you're kinda," Daniel paused to look at title, "easy to read, and especially easy in CSI: Hotline Atlanta Babes. Creative."

Mordred Hame

That's a lie and he knows it. It's just a matter of seeing douchers actually try and then end up drunk in a stall nursing their upset stomachs.

Catharine Reid
"I'm one of those special cases. She'll ask; I won't budge; she'll do this little huff, stomp combo; and I'll go on drinking."

Megumi
"No."

Alistair never gave two shits about Daniel. His little girl did, though. No. Not him. Ethan.

Of course, she'd like the goofball the minute he walked into the room. Daniel's face twisted, incomprehensible and Alistair caught it. The little recovery smile didn't help the look the vampire gave him; he wouldn't explain himself, not in front of Ethan.

After a small stare off, Daniel conceded and made himself comfortable in a small corner of the library with a look on his face that he couldn't quite wipe. Ethan sat in a circle of children on a too bright place mat with The Giving Tree opened to a random page. Daniel grit his teeth the moment Alistair came to sit beside him - he couldn't help scrunching in on himself, feeling the heat of Alistair's glare on his cheek. Beside Ethan, a smile on her lips despite not understanding a word coming from Ethan's mouth sat Megumi, enraptured by the expressions and gestures.

"You two thinking of adopting?"

"Wh-what?"

"You're fucking right? You've got this domestic shite going on; it's not really hard to miss," Alistair's eyebrows furrowed for but a moment before the lingering silence from Daniel rose them far past the blonde bangs hanging over his forehead. "You're kidding me right?"

"Fuck off."

"There are kids."

"Fuck off."

Alistair just laughed, but Daniel could feel the pity in it and suddenly that look Alistair caught seemed to quietly reveal itself.

Stefani Roche
"The fuck is with all these kids running around?"

Katharine Haynes
"Coffee-kid."

"Eh."

Barachiel Alexander Eamon
"Did he step out of the Hobbit?"

Write what they actually think about this character here.

Ethan Cooper
"I'm just waiting for the time where he finds someone better. I think, of all the things in the world, that's an inevitability; it's just something that's going to happen. Right now, I'm just cherishing the time I get to spend with him - even when I know what he'll say."

Sixteen and angry at the world - at life and the people in it, a cigarette hanging by the tip on pouting lips and eyes glazed over in thought. They'd sit on the hood of a car catching up on time spent away from each other before silence sat over their heads to swirl in the smoke puffing from Daniel's lips. This time the silence came first, Daniel's jaw clenched and his hands bruising his thighs in a stiff grip.

"There's nothin' to talk about," Ethan huffed below him, barely an octave high enough to reach Daniel's ears. A hard dent in the gravel thudded beneath Ethan's heel as he smacked it against the ground, then scuffed his sole along the tiny, grey rocks. They made a scratching noise, crunching like Ethan's voice after he'd sobbed a good hour after Breakfast Club - he shouldn't find that alluring, not when it sounded harsh on Ethan's scraped voice below him.

The response had Daniel on the ground, flicking the cigarette to the side. "The hell there isn't," a deep creasing frown stretched his chapped lips and he bent low to tilt Ethan's chin up. His breath caught, partly because of the shiner stinging Ethan's eyes, partly because the dumb, yellow light threw deep shadows across smooth features and the shine of tears still hung above low eye-lids. Daniel's reverie cut short by Ethan's rough head shake, tearing the hand away from his jaw. Bless Ethan's stubbornness saving him the horror of leaning forward too much, taking that chance that he shouldn't.

Pursing his lips, Daniel straightened himself and drew in a deep breath. "Let's head back then?" he cracked, coughing to clear his through and throw his head to the side, "I'm sure your mom's got a cold pack of peas; I'll tell her I clocked you good with the car door before school, yeah?"

"Yeah, sure." She wouldn't believe either of them, just like Daniel barely believes himself half the damn time.

Alfie Liau
"I cringe every time I see him. I want to put a neck brace on 'im; I just... he's gonna break that thing, I swear."

Aila Atleo
"I catch her staring at Ethan a lot and she knows it. Perhaps that's why my mug's always clean and filled with coffee the next morning."

@Write

Oooh, I really love what you did with the history. I'm not sure what @McHaggis would like to do with it, but I think it's okay. I'm going to defer to her in those regards. I've read everything else and they all check out perfectly fine, though!

[Write]

@HalfOfLancelot

Thank you! Of course head GM is head GM after all! I tried to make sure enough detail was in there but I'll totally change anything that needs changing!

[Ghost Queen]

I lied, I have no self control.

[Write]

Also so I am perfectly clear:

_{Aila will be shipped with any/everyone so there.}

I should work on papers.

[HalfOfLancelot]

That feel when you were gonna play video games but you got distracted listening to 80s classic pop songs and looking for their the right lyrics.

[Ghost Queen]

@HalfOfLancelot
Saw what you did there with John's lyrics, I like it.
