Shine City II: The Next Season

Molly felt a rush of pleasure- she had been focusing on her school work so much lately that she had almost forgotten how nice it was to interact with someone. James was certainly attractive, and being introduced to him by a stranger was starting to seem like it could be a stroke of luck. He seemed familiar to her, and she thought maybe she had seen him around school. It was a big place, and drew a surprising amount of Americans, but she was almost certain that she had seen that hoodie around town before. "Mochavine sounds wonderful." She said in a slightly strained voice as she pushed herself into a standing position. I need to work out more. She noted. She had never been to the place, but she was pretty sure it was a coffee shop.

"How old are you?" She inquired as they fell into step beside one another. "I'm nineteen, and I go to the Academy..." She occasionally pulled a leaf from shrubbery along the path, and ripped it apart section by section. Her fingers were getting colder, and she was glad they were going someplace warm. She thought about the boy's tarp as they walked- he had clearly brought it with the intention of hanging out in the park for a while. She no longer thought that he was there to run pick-ups with a silver-haired man, his surprise at her approach had changed that. But he did change his plans for her. She had only spoken a few sentences with the man, but her mind was spinning with a million possibilities and outcomes, in the way that only one prone to overthinking can.

That's okay. I will start working on mine tomorrow, so you can take your time.

Also, I hope my posts are long enough.

Shine City II: The Next Season

Molly was watching the family walk out of sight when the gentleman approached. He looked young, with bright silver hair that could only come from dyeing. Something about him seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't quite place him. She raised her eyebrows at him, a slight smile playing across her lips, when he spoke. His voice was mesmerizing, quiet and low in a way that pulled you in closer so you could hear. It was a moment before his words registered in her mind, as she had been thinking about his voice, like the biggest dork in the world. If she had been prone to blushing, she might have, but as it was she just gave the man a confused look. "Are you the official town matchmaker?" She asked with a chuckle, but she gazed past him at the person he had pointed out.
The boy blended into the darkness, and it took her eyes a few seconds to focus in on him. There was something quite mysterious about the way his face was hidden, and she did want to know what he looked like. This was the weirdest wing-man play she had ever experienced, but she wanted to play along. She nodded wordlessly at the man before her, and scratched the dog's ear before she left them. As she neared the boy, she saw more of him. Pale skin, a flash of orange hair, the glint of glasses.
"Hello." She said, as she knelt onto the ground, ignoring the wet that seeped through her jeans. "I'm Molly, and I was told to introduce myself to you." Her smile was big and sincere. It was about time she made a real effort to make friends.

I'm going to be starting two jobs soon, so I'm going to be busy, busy. But luckily I just joined, and this is the only group roleplay I'm in. So even if I can only post once a day, I promise I'll stay with you guys. :)

Shine City II: The Next Season

Molly gazed out at Shine City as she took a sip of her tea. It burned her tongue a little, but this was a normal part of her routine; she was always too impatient to let it cool. The view of the city was gorgeous from her apartment with the buildings shining their lights into the darkness. The beauty of it was not lost on her. She could still remember the grimy, dingy streets of New York, though she was only ten when she left them. In many ways, she owed everything to that move. It was coming overseas that inspired her to learn about new cultures, and birthed her love of history. Her parents had been supportive of her dreams, though for a while they did try to convince her to join the family business- an investment and accounting empire that spanned generations of Quentins, and had just begun to go international. Ultimately, though, they just wanted her to be happy, and they sent her to Shine Academy with full access to her trust fund.
Lucky me, She thought as she turned to face her empty apartment. She had been in town for a year, but she had not met many people, and she often felt lonely. Winter break was fast approaching, and she was hoping to find a reason not to return to the countryside to visit her parents. She loved them, but they were usually too busy to spend a lot of time with her, and she would much rather have access to some lovely shopping if she was going to be alone anyways. She suddenly felt the need to get out of there, so she pulled on a coat and began her adventure.

The cold bit into her as she walked around the city, but Molly didn't mind. The park was always lovely at this time of day, so she made her way to it. She followed the paths, seeing the occasional couple absorbed in conversation. She jumped and turned her head at the sound of a bark nearby, and searched for its source.

@Cirrus Welcome! :)

Shine City II: The Next Season

@Ivory is that one of your alternate accounts? @Cirrus only has one post.

@Dynamo Frokane

No, it isn't.

@Dynamo Frokane I don't think that's the case, boss. <<

I think we could maybe work around the Robison / Robinson. Unfortunately, it's going to lead to a little bit of confusion, especially if Autocorrect wants to step in and ruin everything.

@Ivory and @CirrusI'm sure it'll be no problem at all for either of you to slightly tweak your surnames, no? :) Just so we don't all get super muddled up. I'd really appreciate it!

@MyCatGinger

I'm just going to pick a new surname. I just pulled it out of my ass anyways, so its not like I'm attached to it lol.

Shine City II: The Next Season

@Cirrus hey looks great! I noticed his last name is the same as one of our other characters is that a coincidence? Unless it part of some 'secret sibling reveal' I'd have to ask you to change it to something else just for convenience sake if thats okay?

Apart from that, totally approved, post in the characters tab.

@Dynamo Frokane

It's actually one letter different, if that makes a difference.
