@LiegeLord
I was wondering those things too. As of now though, I guess I'll start it off. It's not a problem really.

@KatherinWinter
I guess I could start the story, as long as no one minds the double post. I'll post something in a bit.

Cecilia felt awful for what looked a lot like ditching James. At the same time, she needed some time to get her head together so she could actually talk to him on his level instead of whatever that was on her part back there. On top of that, the counselors had introduced the next activity for everyone: essentially storytelling by way of a group relay system. It sounded like the first participant had a lot of influence on how the story shapes out and she wasn't taking it lightly. She would rush to think of something soon, but kind of hoped that someone would start it off as she was very much preoccupied. The approaching evening air felt cold against her skin, making her rub her upper arms as she stared pensively at the fire. She had no idea what to say to James, but knew she couldn't just stall forever.

Alright that should so it for now. I imagine that if I wanted your verdict before posting today, then I should have finished this earlier, so sorry about that. I'll get a post up soon though.

Marcus Nils

Marcus Nils

Appearance

General Info

Name: Marcus Nils
Birth Date: Fall 16th
Age: 22

Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single

Profession:
Journeyman Carpenter
With an apprenticeship under his belt, Marcus is qualified to work under the local carpenter, assisting in various building projects throughout Hope Valley.

Physical Info

Appearance:
Marcus is often more relaxed in his manner, not overly mindful of his appearance and pretty much the free spirit of the family. At 5’7, he has short and messy blond hair that he jokes is more ruly than that of his brothers and yellow eyes. He has a moderate amount of muscle, especially in his arms that’s only going to increase as he continues his carpentry work. He very often has his acoustic guitar over his shoulder to pass any down time and a friendly smile on his face that doesn’t fade very often no matter what situation he finds himself in.

Attire/Style:
Not professing to have a great sense of style, Marcus usually can’t be bothered to show a great deal of effort in what he wears. Through the years, he had often elected to receive Apollo’s hand-me-downs, a few articles of which have even made it to his current assortment now. Generally, throughout every season he’s in, his attire tends to be simple and, if he has his way, would be so even during special or distinguished events. He even has a pair of earrings that he likes to wear around the helix parts of his ears.

Mental Info

Personality:
Marcus is the the most outgoing of the family, finding making connection with others to come easier to him. In some ways he can be considered a happy-go-lucky sort of person, almost always acting in a happily unbothered way and commonly up to have some fun, sometimes even when he is in the middle of something. Despite this, when on the job, he is always mindful of what he needs to do and what it takes to do it, meaning he won’t waste time for very long. Marcus is a bit of an idealist and looks at most things through a lens of feeling and empathy. However gregarious, it isn’t like he’s the center of attention all the time and will occasionally seek a secluded place to recharge and perhaps play his guitar.

History:
Born six years after his eldest brother Apollo, Marcus is the middle child of the Nils family. He was quite energetic as a child, a sort of childlike rambunctiousness that his biological parents often sought to lightly curb. One notable method of which being to introduce him to the acoustic guitar. It made for frequent practice sessions that “disturbed” the otherwise quiet home, but it was reasoned that it was better than the alternative antics he could have gotten himself into.

The accident that killed his parents and injured his brother was especially hard for him, yet he never neglected to visit Apollo whenever possible to keep him company at the hospital, making it a point to be brave around him. Even as Marcus attended high school, student and faculty alike couldn’t have possibly known that such an event took place, the young man not betraying anything beyond his personable attitude and demeanor.

Living in the lavish Lazzari estate, Marcus was afforded an expansive new world at which to explore and admire, the architecture itself as something that has really stuck with him over the years. When he wasn’t cleaning and seeing to his chores, he was having surveying the marvel of a mansion, if not for insight as to its construction, then for a nice spot to play his guitar, to the enjoyment of his family, Raffaello and Caterina included.

Marcus was always mindful of his own quality of life in relation to the poorer and disadvantaged, and although he didn’t think he alone could make a difference in the world, he wanted to do his part to improve the lives of others. And in the field of carpentry, he believed he could do just that, one home at a time. Upon completing high school, Marcus devoted much of his time to his pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship, honing his skills over four years and even earning plenty of on the job experience that his adoptive father was more than happy to facilitate through a few of his businesses’ construction sites.

Staying home to finish his training program while his brothers first left for Hope Valley, it was during the last week or so that he too was contacted by the Harvest Goddess, the chance to use his newly acquired skills to help out an entire town of people sounding like a dream come true. Mailing ahead, he let Apollo and Roland know he would be coming near the start of the new year.

Cecilia remained silent for a time, feeling that anything she'd say would just dig her deeper into the hole she was in. Perhaps she just wasn't of the right mind to talk about it. Perhaps she just wasn't mature enough to talk about it without making James feel sorry for her. James must have had to grow up quickly to survive in the real world, this camp being his and Neric's latest stop. She on the other hand had been sheltered most of her life. If she couldn't handle what must come as second nature to him, then maybe it would save both of them a lot of trouble if she didn't spoil his time at camp for him. She knew for a fact that she held out her hand to help him out of the canoe and she'd do it again, because she wanted to. Once they reached the fire pit, Cecilia made sure James sat down first and came up behind him and gently placed his jacket over his shoulders, her hands lingering for a second. "Thanks again, James. I'll make it up to you sometime..." she said calmly and fairly wistfully before intending to take a seat herself a few feet away.

I'm going to start on a small CS for Marcus. I'm thinking of having him be one of the carpenter's journeymen and be a new arrival as well. Is that okay? At any case, I'll hopefully have both that and the first post done by Monday.

Cecilia giggled a little as he pushed his arm against hers, her other hand brushing some of her hair aside, all the while making sure not to move too much so as to accidentally drop the jacket that was on her shoulders. "Of course I want to sit next to you, James. I still need to return your jacket when we're by the fire, remember?" she quipped with a minutely awkward grin, knowing that she'd want to sit next to him even if it wasn't for their agreement. When following James, she held both ends of the jacket over her, well on her way to being dry, but still really self conscious at the moment. "Oh?... W-Well you don't have to be sorry... I... don't really mind it..." she daintily blurted in a bit of a hurry to respond. She wouldn't exactly call her reactions then and to an extent now "discomfort" exactly. In fact, it felt really nice, although she in turn wouldn't want to do something that made him uneasy.

Viranti

Viranti made his way out of the church in a bit of a hurry, eager to breathe in the relatively clear air. It wasn't as though he was completely clear as regards their mission, their first stop at Agni or these hero stones guarded by so called "Mecha Gods". But as he saw it, such matters may not be so important for he himself to grasp currently and, right this minute, he couldn't see himself as neither capable of sticking around the church to listen nor of grasping all of this through more explanation. Some things would have to be seen to be believed. What seemed a more pressing matter was finding shelter for the night, or at least a defensible location to wait until morning.

There was little doubt in his mind that the other warriors that accompanied the Oracle would know what to do in a place like this, even the armored giant of a being with horns seemed to know what he was doing, probing around the church in search of something. Viranti's growling stomach focused his mind on what he needed to do first, him reasoning that if he could survive the Tear, he could get through this. His fairly acute sense of smell returning to him, he cautiously began to walk into the village, following the scent of food. He wasn't allowed a substantial meal for a very long time, so the more food he'd find, the more likely he'd be at maximum strength by tomorrow.

A part of Cecilia wanted to try and go into detail over how she could have done better and how James had done an excellent job as the front rower, but seeing him even as slightly flustered as he was caused the subject to slip her mind, her cheeks blushing a tad as she looked out to see Neric emerge out of the lake and return to James' wound. All that while, she watched James without his jacket, primarily hoping the fire gets set soon. She had an idea of what she could do to help him get warm should it take much longer, but the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. Fortunately, everyone appeared to have finished with their canoeing and was getting ready for a new activity to perhaps end the day on. She smiled back at James as he held out his hand to her. "Y-Yeah," she agreed shyly as her hand delicately rose from under the jacket and met his. Rising to her feet, she nodded appreciatively at him. "Thanks. Let's get good seats okay?"
