Hey @Teddiplier! ^^ Erm, in the OOC, the rest of us are each adding in a new character o.o Filthy Mudblood has added Josh, I'm adding Shay and Rose is either adding Eva or another guy(?).
Apart from that, not much is happening <.< Sorry for the confusion, I tagged you in my previous post because was wondering whether you wanted in on a vote, I was torn between adding Allison or Shay to the roster ^^' Shay is winning at the moment.
So unless @Teddiplier wants to tag in on this vote? I'll add Shay in under Callum on the character tab ^^ Let me know if anyone wants me to change anything on his relationship chart o.o or if you want anything changed in his profile Rose ^^'
I'll get on to upgrading Callum's relationship chart soon as well.
Rain started as Andromeda spoke, the only hint of her surprise was a brief widening of her eyes before they focused on the gorgon's face.
"Hey..." Rain murmured, lifting a hand up to push as section of her dark blue hair away from her forehead.
"I'm still here" She assured Andro, the edge of her mouth twitched up briefly before she looked over into the fire.
"That I can't say, you passed out on me back there...I was too worried about you to remember which direction to go in. We're just lucky this cave is here" Rain answered her, hugging her knees closer to her body as she did. She knew there was more to be done, Andro needed more warmth if she was going to get any better. The fire wasn't as good as normal fire, she had reluctantly used her luna energy to start it when the fire wouldn't take.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked Andromeda, looking side long at her as she did.
She'd pulled the hood of the coat up over Andro's head after she'd briefly woken up and she'd done her coat back up to try and trap as much warmth in as possible. But she knew it wasn't going to be enough...she needed to figure out what else she could use, to keep Andro warm, albeit herself.
A few ideas had crossed her mind but even the urgency of their situation hadn't been enough to fight off the embarrassment each one brought, Rain had angrily shaken them from her head and willed the blood away from her frostbitten cheeks as she trudged through the snow.
"We passed by a few evergreens...I'll go back and see if I can get a few branches for you to lay on. It won't be much but it'll be better than that floor" She told her after allowing her to answer her question.
Her eyes drifted to the front of the cave, the occasional cold draft was still flowing in across the floor but overall they had escaped the lashing snow storm. Just looking at it caused a shiver to run down Rain's spine, she was definitely better suited to the cold than Andro was but she was regretting discarding her coat earlier. She couldn't suffer any lasting damage from the snow, providing she was careful but she still had to live through the pain of frost burns and aching muscles when she ventured out into the snow. Each time she had to heal or alter her body temperature she had to use up precious energy. As she thought this her stomach rumbled, reminding her it required filling soon.
"Sorry, I skipped breakfast..." She apologised, rolling her shoulders and stretching her legs out to rest next to the fire. It was going to need more fuel soon, unfortunately she'd used all of the dry twigs near the entrance of the cave so now she had to hope the boughs of the evergreens weren't too wet...
Hmm, I'm kind of going to do the same thing there o.o'
Thought on what you said before, but because there isn't a need for a specific gender I'm struggling to choose who to submit, so I'm going to put two up here and if it isn't too much trouble, ask everyone which they'd prefer to be in the RP ^^' I'd be committed to playing either of them. Also the relationship charts are just a rough draft, still need some editing and fact checking done ^^'
Ali is around 5'5 feet in height and weighs in roughly 114 pounds. She's got a slim build, with a moderate amount of curves and a C cup chest. She's got emotive, jade colored eyes and long red hair, that airs more towards the lighter end of the scale, with natural blonde highlights throughout. She tends to wear her hair up and is rarely seen without some form of make-up on her face.
As for the rest of her, whilst Ali doesn't ahve any permanent tattoo's she dabbles with henna tattoos. And will often have an assortment of random runic designs across her body, some from fictional stories and others from historical stories or cultures. She has one scar on the base of her left palm, it's approximately an inch long and veers diagonally up from the start of her wrist. Also has her ears pierced, though she'll only wear earrings for special events.
As for the style of clothing she wears, Ali has a surprising favourite, alternative punk. She rocks leather garments and edgy clothing, though she does dabble in what she calls 'mainstream' fashion for the sake of appearances.
She was raised Catholic, though her home life is far from strict her school life was quite the opposite. Growing up as the daughter of a duke and duchess means she has been taught to behave in a certain way. The teachings are so deep seated Ali has struggled to leave them behind...basically she's a snob. No amount of culture has been able to beat it out of her, she frowns upon displays of childish behaviour or anything deemed socially unacceptable.
Pride, is one of her downfalls. She's incredibly vain about her appearance and proud of who she is, even if she prefers her lineage to remain a secret. She is obsessed with her image and her social standing among her peers, though she tends to put a damper on it around her close friends. Ali has got a temper though it manifests itself an odd way. If she's provoked she tends to fall into old habits, by keeping her composure and verbally lashing out at people, often revealing a viper like persona that spits venomous words. Usually choosing things that she knows will really get under people's skins and leaving a lasting sting.
It's a good thing she isn't easy to provoke, she has her triggers like most people but overall she can handle negativity with a calm, clear headed, if not slightly diplomatic, approach.
Underneath her vanity and posh mannerisms, she is a coward. Afraid of nearly everything. Sure she'll suggest a high risk activity, but when it comes to actually doing it she'll probably think of reason to miss it. She disguises it most of the time but when it comes down to it, she's unafraid to use her vocal chords to express her fear, luckily not in a 1933 Ann Darrow way and is more than happy to flee from her problems, unless she can find a willing human shield to protect her.
After spending time in America, away from her controlling parents, she has begun to mellow. Adopting a far more laid back and approachable persona, though she does have a tendency of beating things round the bush when it comes to conversation, often using more words than are necessary or what Callum calls 'long words' which can make people tune out.
She's smart and resourceful, often happy to lend a hand to her friends, it's a different story when it comes to people she doesn't know that well.
Backstory:
Ali has an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom sit above her in the succession line of her family. She was born in the UK and has lived, for the majority of her life, in and around Arundel, on the south coast of Britain. Her father is a duke and her mother a duchess, they raised each of their children fairly and properly, though her father doesn't hide the fact he favours her brothers.
Ali has grown up wanting for nothing, her every whim has been catered for and no dream has been left uncharted. She attended Ampleforth College from the age of 5 and spent most of her school years boarding there.
Since she was young she has been allowed the freedom to decide what activities she wanted to do, often with hte view to take it on as a part time career later in life. Her parents felt obliged to entertain any and all dreams -of which there have been many- purely because it was within their power to do so, they didn't mind, besides activities were a sure way to keep her busy and leave them with more time to pour into her brothers.
She figured out what they were doing eventually and became bitter over it. Which in turn led to the inevitable switch in her mood and her activities. Despite being coward she decided to deliberately involve herself in high risk activities and hobbies. Still, only two of them really stuck and to be honest they only did because her parents were so against them. Ali became more involved in Archery, more specifically Horseback Archery, entering into small competitions until she was accepted into the British Horseback Archery Association. Once she was a member she became aware of a lot of international events and has spent large chunks of time mastering the sport and making a name for herself, whilst paying less and less attention to her studies.
This in turn pulled the wrath of her parents and before Ali finished school, her parents made the rash decision of sending her away to America with an aunt. The upheaval was catastrophic for Ali, luckily she hadn't started her GCSE's but it didn't make integrating into a new school and education system any easier on her. The saving grace of it all was that she was able to continue her hobby in America after befriending a member of The Mounted Archery Association of the America's, she grew quite fond of the country as a whole especially the weather! Alongside mounted archery, Ali has recently followed through on her promise to take up stunt riding...which has 'pleased' her parents to no end.
Considering she's only 19 she's done quite a lot of note worthy things, she's done small bouts of acting, placed in international mounted archery contests, partaken in an archaeological dig out in Egypt, secured herself a place in a good college and most importantly, found herself a group of interesting friends. Being plucked out of her cushty school and home life to be dropped into the throng of a state school in a country she knew little to nothing about, was a lot to take in, she had to adjust quickly if she wanted to survive.
A chance encounter with Callum, was what finally enabled Allison to find her place. Being a part of the group has made Ali and she could think of no better way to spend her -potentially- last summer in America.
She almost didn't make it when she got a call from her parents demanding she return home because her brother had been injured. Her plane was delayed, which gave her plenty of time to struggle between her responsibility to her family and herself, her brother secretly called her and told her under no circumstances was she too come back. With his warning that if she did, she'd probably struggle to get back out again, she turned tail and went straight over to Elizabeth's house. Arriving a day later than everyone else, but arriving all the same.
Future Plans: To go to Harvard college and study Archaeology alongside Folklore and Mythology.
Likes: + Outdoor sports - Cannooing, rock climbing, parasoling, horse riding, archery. + Edgy, passionate, catty people + Likes old cultures, historic mythology and ancient civilisations. + Body art, tattoos and runes. + Celtic, classical, instrumental and pop punk music. (Because why not) + Exotic food, or anything that breaks tradition.
Dislikes: - Being reminded of who she is or being treated differently. - Feeling insecure or being in spontaneous danger. (It's different if she makes the choice to be adventorous) - Immature block heads that punch first, think later. - Nightcore, Chipmunk, R&B and Screaming metal music. - Strangers. Bullies. Snobs...not including herself of course. - Ballrooms, fancy places, aristocratic gatherings, stuffy formal dinners. - Chicken soup.
Other: = Ali has been told since she was younger that her parents would decide who she was to marry and that they expected her to return to the UK after finishing school in order to begin meeting potential bachelors. = Usually responds better to being called Ali rather than Allison. = Her visa runs out at the end of the summer.
|☺| Elizabeth - "I appreciate Elizabeth. I think she understands my situation better than most...though I wouldn't say we've spoken much about it. She makes me feel welcome in the group even when I have my doubts and she doesn't seem as funny about my mannerisms, which is beyond relieving"
Allison feels like Elizabeth is one of the only ones who can understand her in the group. (Poor Elizabeth...) She likes the fact that she goes out of her way to help others and that she seems to always have a smile on her face. At the same time, Allison can get quite frustrated with her when she is too kind to people, she's a strong believer that there is a limit to being gracious to other people and often feels Elizabeth goes past it. Not that it's any of her business but it is a clash of interest between them. She met Elizabeth through Callum...after shooting him, which he told the whole group upon her introduction.
|☺| Alyx - "Well, where do I start? She's incessantly rude, I don't understand why she feels the need to be so...sharp all of the time? I actually think she could give those snooty cows back home a run for their money though. That I would gladly pay to see"
Ali is skeptical about her friendship with Alyx, mostly because Ali likes her even though they might not always see eye to eye. It could be because of her upbringing but she's not fond of how brutally honest Alyx is, she knows how to handle the 'behind the back' manipulation which is common place back home so she finds the 'to your face deal with it' approach intimidating to find the least. Despite this, she can't see any good reason why they can't get along...well, actually, she see's one, it's about 6'0, built like a brick house and about as independent as a joey kangaroo. She met Alyx through Callum when he introduced her to the group, again, the first thing Alyx knew about Allison was that she'd shot Callum with an arrow, though he tried to lie about where it had hit him to her.
|☺| Rose - "I'm a strong believer in maintaining a positive attitude and Rose most definitely does. I've yet to meet someone who can compete with her abundant energy and ability to perk up at the smallest of things. It's uncanny to say the least. If only she could stay focused, she'd be a force to be reckoned with"
Ali's hypocritical statement above has some merit. She does in fact enjoy being around positive people, of which she considers Rose to be one of these people, even if she isn't overly positive herself. She enjoys simply being in Rose's company, though chatting about random stuff is always a welcome bonus. Ali met Rose through Callum, she was the first one in the group she felt comfortable around.
|☺| Loki - "Interesting. At first I wasn't sure how to approach him, people hadn't been reacting well to my formal manners, Loki surprised me though, he didn't seem to mind as much(?). Once we'd got past the introduction he was pleasant to talk to and I still think he's pleasant to talk to"
Ali likes the fact that Loki, like his sister, is generally a happy person. She especially likes the fact that he pays attention to conversations and that he appears to be a fairly calm person...she hasn't been in any tight situations around him yet, so for now she's convinced he wouldn't change in a crisis. She has a sneaky suspicion that Loki's crushing on Callum, she hasn't brought up the subject with him yet or hasn't planned to. Ali met Loki through Callum, just like everyone else, though it took her a while to start communicating with him.
|☺| Josh - "I get the feeling he doesn't like me all that much, but then again I do tend to have that effect on people. If that wasn't bad enough I'm not sure what to make of him half of the time...talk about complicated"
Despite herself Ali likes Josh, not necessarily in a romantic way, more of a simplistic way...as simplistic as Ali gets anyway. She believes he's not all too fond of her though she hasn't worked up the courage to clear the issue with him just yet. She's seen him behave like a perfect gentleman and a broody bad boy, but she can't quite figure out who he is, which is probably a bonus, in this situation she prefers to say it how it is rather than pretending otherwise. She probably would of met Josh around the same time Callum introduced her to the group, though she recalls they didn't actually speak until a later date.
|✧| Callum - "Cal? Hmm, we're not really compatible. But since I kind of...shot him, I feel like I need to be nice to him. Besides he's told me if I'm mean to him, he'll show me the scar I gave him...and I would sooner go blind than see that!"
After shooting Callum in the backside following a prank gone wrong, Allison has felt obliged to be friendly towards him. Though she didn't apologise to him for the injury as in her eyes it was technically his fault, she still supports team Callum. She is most likely to give in to him, if he incessantly bugs her about being involved in a prank or going somewhere. She's like the older sister that rolls her eyes and sighs into her hand when he does something immature or says something cringe worthy. Their dynamic is rather natural, considering they've known each other for two years. Allison is fluent in all things Callum, often able to recognize what he needs before he does...it's an odd partnership, perhaps even intimidating to the many girls Callum has dated but Allison will be the first to point out that their relationship is completely platonic. She is 100% not attracted to him. Who said guys and girls couldn't just be friends anyway? She's even pegged who Callum has feelings for, no doubt before he's even realised it himself.
Shay stands at 5'8 and weighs in around about 11 stone. He's got a slim build, with slight definition around his torso and biceps. He's lightly tanned with soft skin, tailored by the variety of skin care products he uses to maintain a healthy glow. He's capable of growing patchy facial hair around the lower section of his face and under his chin, it tends to cling to his jawline rather than his cheeks. It's only when he's being particularly lazy or 'on a break' from acting or shooting that he tends to let it grow.
He's got thick chocolate brown hair that curls if he lets it grow too long, he tends to keep it short but long enough for him to style. He'll often have enough product in his hair to fuel a small fire, yet his look rarely changes, he styles his hair to make it look 'casually' messy. He's got dark onyx eyes that are surprisingly expressive, just like the rest of his face. With a youthful looking expression and a smile that brightens up his entire face, Shay is often mistaken for being younger than he is.
He sometimes wears a stud in his left ear with a cuff on top of the same ear. Veering away from piercings, Shay has one tattoo on the backs of his shoulders and two prominent scars. The first runs from the top of his lower arm between his elbow and the crook of his elbow, ending in a curled tip about halfway up his bicep. The second is a burn scar that dominates the inside of his left calf, it is most prominent nearer his ankle and gradually fades away as it travels up his calf.
Shay is confident in his sexuality, he doesn't give two figs what other people think. If he wants to look after his skin and enjoy the finer things of life, he will. He loves nothing more than sitting down and being pampered whilst nattering on about the latest gossip. He's not bothered about what's done to him as long as he's involved, which has been both intimidating and endearing with his friends.
He doesn't hide this side of him from anyone, but he's sensitive enough to know when it makes people uncomfortable. If they feel that way he'll tend to tone it down a bit, maybe talk some sport or break out the movie speak. He likes having a strong network of interesting and unique people, so he's willing to wear a variety of masks to please them. His social calender is usually full to the brim as well as being strictly planned out, so as to avoid overlaps, be it punctuation based or people based. He knows some of his friends won't get on with others, so to avoid losing either he'll plan them around each other.
It's only when he's around people he considers close friends, that Shay completely relaxes. He takes off his 'actor' masks, kicks back and worries less about how he appears to them. He can be very opinionated, dramatic and catty, though at the end of it, he's all bark and no bite. In fact he's possibly the biggest coward around, even when he's wearing one of his 'actor' masks, he struggles to hide his fear and has a whole system of coping mapped out to deal with it on and around the stage. In real life he can't deal with it, if things get dangerous or even remotely scary he has no qualms about turning tail and fleeing to find the nearest place to hide.
Backstory:
Shay's past for the most part is best described as picture perfect. He grew up with both of his parents and had an older brother. His childhood was uneventful, though his parents were far from rich, Shay grew up wanting for nothing. He's also been theatrical, even from a young age and often found that he got on better with girls rather than boys because of this. Football, rounders, running...they've never been his thing, he much preferred playground games involving imagination and less physical exertion. He was a big fan of sleepovers, movie watching and even enjoyed a bit of pampering.
When he was due to move up to high school, Shay's perfect life took a hard hit, with the loss of his brother who was five years older than him. His brother hadn't always approved of Shay's choices, he often told people they weren't related when Shay first started high school. It wasn't until Shay figured out why and started to build up what he calls his 'actor' masks that his brother took more of an interest in him. Actor masks were a brilliant way for Shay to please the people around him, by locking himself away and tailoring his personality to the situation he was in, he was able to break into nearly any social circle. The more well known he was, the easier it became to avoid bullies and enjoy a few of his hobbies, like theatre.
Shay was barely 6 months into his new school, when his brother decided to smuggle him into a college party he'd been invited to. The pair rode over on his brother's bike and spent the majority of the evening partying, even though Shay wasn't of legal age to be drinking, he did taste his first beer that night. His brother steered clear of alcohol and past midnight drove them home, despite the fact it had started raining.
There was an accident that left Shay hospitalised and took his brother's life. After this event Shay's family life slowly begun to deteriorate. The loss of a child was too much for his parents to deal with, the blame would often bounce from one family member to the next before bouncing back round again. Shay's mother couldn't deal with the pressure so a year after the accident she upped and left, leaving Shay with his father.
His father had always favoured his brother but he tried to support Shay in what he does, if not in a somewhat awkward manner. He doesn't believe that acting is a steadfast career but because Shay has his heart set on it, he's quietly determined to help him however he can. It hasn't always been easy but Shay managed to continue on with his life, it'd be wrong to say these events didn't change him but he's talented at hiding his true feelings away.
As time went by, he found a quirky group of friends that he feels comfortable around. Shay was probably over-excited about the idea of joining them for a summer vacation, he's arrived a day later than everyone else because of a stage audition in California.
Future Plans: To get into the University of Southern California and gain an acting degree.
Likes: + Acting, playing a role. + Videogames + Chilling with friends + Gossip + Being pampered, skin care products, etc. + Swimming and sunbathing, in that exact order. + Music of nearly any kind. + Tacos + Being called Shay
Dislikes: - Danger - Contact sports - Sprouts - Arrogance, snobs, bullies. - Overly masculine guys - Reality TV - Being called Silver
Other: = Shay is color blind, mainly he can't see red and green. = He's ambidextrous, learning to play the guitar and not a bad singer.
|✧| Elizabeth - "I think she is possibly the cutest person ever. I've never met anyone that warm and welcoming with that much money before, she's so willing to help others...though I like to remind her, she needs to be selfish sometimes. Call me clichéd but Elizabeth is a true diamond among rhinestones"
Shay's opinion of Elizabeth is showered with praise. He likes her selfless attitude and willingness to please others, but he also has a certain level of disdain about it. He feels like she sometimes gives too much, so he's made it his personal mission to give back to her, be that through small gestures, gifts or words. He can be very funny towards her when she tries to shoulder any blame that wasn't hers in the first place. Shay prefers to use actions rather than words around Elizabeth, especially if she's upset, he has no qualms offering a shoulder or a hug. He likes to spend most of his time near either her or Alyx. He met Elizabeth through Callum during the dreaded drama performance stage, since then he's gradually built up a high opinion of her.
|✧| Alyx - "Ho, ho. Now here is a girl you do not want to get on the bad side of! I love Alyx, the fact she has claws just makes everything that much more entertaining. Do not repeat this, but I see through her...I know underneath all of that bravado, she's a kitten"
Shay can't help but love Alyx. Not only does she constantly snipe at Callum which brings him no end of joy, but he likes her sharp around the edges attitude, plus the sass that comes with it. He's not so keen to see the day she turns on him and for the time being, he actually goes out of his way to stay on her good side. He's especially fond of any and all gossip that comes from Alyx, perhaps a little too much. As it is Shay thinks highly of her and is always willing to lend her an ear or shoulder, he's not sure enough to break the hugging barrier yet. He likes to spend most of his time near either her or Elizabeth. He met Alyx through Callum when he was introduced to the group, he instantly took a shine to her when she berated Callum, inevitably winning the small back and forth they had.
|✧| Rose - "She's so bubbly and full of life. I mean the smallest thing can get her hyped, just being around her makes me feel lighter than air! I get excited about the weirdest things when I'm around Rose. She can be frustrating at times as well, her attention span is pretty darn short"
Shay thinks he gets on well with Rose. He finds that she makes him feel younger, even though there isn't much of an age difference between them. He can't relate to the pain she must have felt losing both of her parents, but a part of him understands such a deep seated loss, this similarity makes him feel just that little more comfortable around her. He won't allow her or Callum to loop him into any pranks but he does find it amusing if Rose gets involved in them, well unless they're directed at him, then he tends to get sulky with her and completely ignore Callum. He gets frustrated when Rose struggles to stay focused, especially if he's asked her to run lines with him or something. He met Rose when Callum introduced him to the group, took a while but after a few meetings he started to warm to her.
|☺| Loki - "Ermmm, well, I'm not a hundred percent sure of Loki. He's a friendly enough guy, happy, especially when he's around his sister. Though I think he's a little too protective of her, not that it's my place to say anything but you know, I just can't keep my mouth closed, makes things a liiiittle awkward between us sometimes"
Shay's opinion of Loki is a double edged sword. One the one hand, he has an ample amount of respect for him, he feels that similar connection with Loki as he does Rose, that they understand the loss he lives with. -Not that he'll talk to either of them about it mind you) He enjoys chatting with Loki when possible and even has a sneaky suspicion that he's crushing on a certain someone, of whom he strongly opposes, but hasn't quite worked up the courage to ask Loki about it yet. On the other he can't help himself from getting involved in Loki and Rose's business, he'll often encourage Loki to ease off if he gets too protective of Rose, which he knows isn't his place to do so and often sulks if he gets backlash for it. He met Loki when Callum introduced him to the group, though it took a while for him to form a steady friendship with him.
|☺| Josh - "Ah the 'Angel' of our group. I mean he really has that hot, broody, vampire click to a T, I have seen the effect he has on the ladies...it's both awe-inspiring and deeply depressing. I'll give him his dues though, when he's not being an anti-social git, he's pretty awesome to hang around with. He is the master at verbal burns"
Shay likes to point out to Josh that the whole broody vampire click went out of fashion a few years back but the truth of it is, he admires him. Not necessarily because of those things but because of what he accomplishes through it, yes he is jealous that he's a successful ladies man and yes, he's ashamed of being jealous about it. He wouldn't go as far as to say that him and Josh get on brilliantly, being as they have very little in common on paper but he finds his company pleasant enough. Shay tends to put on his 'actor' mask when he's around Josh, mostly because he unintentionally intimidates him, much like Callum does. It should be said that regardless of the fact his break up with Alyx was drama free, Shay is and probably always will be in Alyx's corner. He met Josh when Callum introduced him to the group, it's been a touch and go progression of friendship.
|☺/🔥| Callum - "An acquired taste. I mean, sure he's got the look but in my opinion he's missing the inner feels. Here, wait, this is how I'd sum up Callum, he looks like an appealing orange revel but when you take a bite you realise, he's all coffee"
Shay met Callum during a drama production. Callum wasn't there by choice, Shay of course was. He had been gunning for the main until Callum was cast for it, much to both of their dismay. Despite hard feelings, Shay made the decision to help Callum succeed in his role for the sake of everyone else in the play and the performance itself. It was a success and through Callum, Shay was able to meet the others of his group and increase his network of friends. Since that play, his and Callum's relationship has been an odd one, made up mostly of necessity with a huge dollop of rivalry and a sprinkling of genuine friendship. He is ultimately intimidated by Callum.
|✧| Allison - "I'm sure it's not normal to make friends with someone that shoots you in the ass! Even though she wouldn't say sorry, I kind of had to forgive her, she stopped me from getting a detention"
It's funny how things work out though, Ali ended up in the group in a very odd way. After showing off in an archery lesson, Ali became the target of one of Callum's pranks. This one involved an exploding arrow, that was designed to douse her in horrible yellow and neon green paint from head to toe whilst Callum and a few others watched from the sidelines. Long story short, the arrow ended up in someone elses hands, the teachers to be specific. Callum tried to rectify the situation but before he could the arrow exploded. Ali had been about to take the shot but the surprise of the explosion, distracted her and she loosed the arrow in the wrong direction...at which point it embedded itself in Callum's backside. After that meet and greet, he introduced her to the group, his way of breaking even for bailing him out of detention.
|☺| Shay - "He's a scaredy cat, drama queen. We don't have much in common, except girls, Shay's an ace wingman"
Callum's opinion of Shay is lacking depth, which is normal for him really. The pair met when Callum was dished out a different kind of detention. He was scripted into helping with one of seasonal drama productions and given the lead to boot. Completely lacking talent and instruction, it fell to Shay to teach him the ropes and whip him into shape. In turn Callum introduced him to the rest of the group and after the production was done, he kept up contact. He'll often ask Shay to be his wingman but overall they only really get along when the group is together. Callum is mostly unaware of Shay's rivalry with him, he tends to compete with everyone naturally but the 'rivalry' between these two is for the most part one sided.
I'm leaning more towards the continuing on with the same characters and waking up the next day <.< Are we okay with the amount of characters we've got now?
Balthazar wasn't entirely sure what to expect, he'd taken a few pictures of the scenery on the way to the boat. They weren't his best shots, taken with a small ... Whilst his canon was nestled in the bag he'd brought with him. He hoped they were allowed to keep their bags, he'd been too preoccupied sorting Dusk out to go over the details of the show.
Crossing over to the island hadn't been as peaceful for him, so much so he hadn't been able to take any shots at all. Having never been on a boat before Bal wasn't prepared for the ferocious onslaught of seasickness that hit him as soon as the boat left the harbour. The cowboy was used to motion but this was...something else entirely. As soon as they'd docked, he'd staggered off of the boat and be accosted by several members of staff. All of which were trying to help him as well as shield him from view as he fought to keep what was left of his lunch in his stomach.
Because of his unfortunate trip here, he'd arrived a little later to the party than most people. Now his feet were back on dry land he'd managed to calm his stomach and despite resisting at first, Bal eventually allowed the show's crew to tidy him up a bit afterwards. Once they'd released him, Balthazar had taken it upon himself to head straight for the bar and sit himself down on one of the seats on the end.
After the embarrassing trip over to the island, Bal was hoping he could 'hide' out there, at least until he'd consumed some liquid courage. Losing the contents of his stomach over the side of the boat and spending the entire time bent double, groaning like something from the Walking Dead, was not how he wanted to be remembered...he could only imagine what the other contestants already thought of him.
With a long winded sigh, Bal took his hat off and placed it on the bar beside him, waving the barman over he ran his fingers through his hair, pulling it back from his face and ordered a drink. What he needed was bourbon or a strong whiskey...what he got was a tropical cocktail.
"Erm, I, I didn't order this-hey!...and he's gone...perfect" Bal started, gradually lowering his voice as the barman wandered away from him.
Balthazar twisted the drink this way and that as he debated whether to drink it or not. Right now, he was acting as if he had never seen anything like it before. He had, but he'd never been in the situation where he was the one having to drink it. "Bottoms up, I guess" He shrugged after a few indecisive moments before he lifted the drink up and proceeded to dodge around the plethora of decorations adorning the top of the glass. It was a battle that ended with him poking himself in the eye with a pink umbrella as he poured the sweet drink down his throat.
"Good god, syrup...pure syrup" He commented, putting the empty glass down and pressing the back of his hand against his mouth.
Bal was so sure, he was invisible at the edge of the bar he wasn't worried that people might frown at the fact he was talking to himself.
