Edwin walked back over where Elise was sitting and said, "What were looking for is something that is just off about Sierra. You know her so go with that. Start with her 'My Documents' and go through the folders. See if there's anything that stands out to you. Like I've told you think in terms of an 'odd sock'. Like you're looking in a sock drawer and you see the one thing that stands out."
He walked back over to her closet and began to look around. Edwin noticed that everything is Sierra's world was just so. That everything had a purpose and/or a place there wasn't anything just there for the sake of being there. He saw a box sitting on a top shelf and pulled it down. Edwin opened the box and saw several items that had to do with Sierra being in high school. This struck Edwin as odd, because why would Sierra already be boxing up high-school memories when she still had a couple of more years to go? Did she know something was about to happen? Was she trying to hide something? Edwin said, "Found a box with high school memories in it. Then again she wasn't done with it so why is she already putting things like this in a box already?"
Edwin started thumbing through and was making mental notes. It was then noticed something about the covers of the year book, school newspapers, and her test scores. Edwin.said, "What if this box as a whole is the odd sock?" Edwin began laying everything across the bed and said, "Look this room is in the upper left hand side of the house. Now look at each upper left corner of each corner there's a letter. Arrange the letters just so and...." Edwin arranged everything so it spelled out the word "Raven."
Edwin smiled and said, "Nevermore." He walked over to the raven and when he picked it up Edwin felt something. He gave it to Sierra and said, "It has a velcro opening I'll let you do it."

P-J looked around and took in the whole "who's sleeping where" situation. He grew up in house with 7 other siblings, but luckily the ages were spaced out enough that they never really had to deal this issue too often. Unless extended family came to visit, and then things got a bit cramped. During those times P-J's older brother Patrick usually put a couple people up at his place, and that was P-J and the third oldest brother Johnny. All that being said P-J was now just looking for a place to drop his gear and get to know his new roomies.
He was going to take one of the couches, but it seemed as though they were all being taken. With that P-J headed upstairs and saw one of the full sized beds in the loft. He said, "If no one else minds..." P-J dropped his stuff and said, " I claim this land for Spain!" He opened up his duffel bag and took out his Kindle and began charging it. Then P-J took out one more item and placed it on the nightstand; a picture of him and his family at Patrick's wedding day. It was about 4 years old but it was his favorite picture because the entire family was together.
Once that was done P-J felt comfortable enough that it was time to let the group see the real him. This was a side he revealed to hardly anyone at all. In fact his parents didn't even know this about him. P-J slipped out of his blue golf shirt and put on his favorite T-Shirt in the world; his gray Batman T-Shirt. For all his athletic prowess and the way he carried himself on and off the field P-J was a comic-book/sci-fi geek from head to toe. His favorite character was of course Batman and he owned a lot of the merchandise, and he kept it all at Patrick's house. Patrick was a comic book geek as well so this was something he and P-J bonded over. Although those who knew never gave P-J any lip about it, because at his height and weight not many wanted to make P-J too upset.
He then slipped off his deck shoes and put on his running shoes. Finally P-J felt like himself his favorite T-Shirt, blue jeans, and running shoes yep this outfit felt as natural to him as his football uniform. P-J took a deep breath and said, "Ahh now it's time to relax."
P-J went downstairs and opened the fridge. He saw several bottles of water and P-J said, "I could use one of these." He grabbed a bottle of water and opened it up. As he got ready to drink it P-J pulled out his wallet and laid two 50 dollar bills on a desk nearby the kitchen area. P-J said, "This is to help with the expenses. Need anymore more let me know." P-J wasn't a rich kid by any standard, but he did have some money saved up and his dad slipped him some money as well. P-J realized that all of the guests coming up here was overwhelming Dai so he figured he would do what he could.
P-J grabbed a seat along the bar and just began to take it all in.

I'll post sometime tomorrow late morning or early afternoon....doing this at work is a challenge. 😉
Get back to it when you can....not a problem.
P-J embraced Rayne back and was smiling even more broadly than when he arrived. P-J said, "Great seeing you Rayne. Again thanks for the invite here it's so what I needed."
Rayne went on to greet some others and P-J just took it all in. He was seeing so many people he didn't know and yet he felt like he should. All that being said P-J was used to being comfortable in a room full of people he didn't know, Every Saturday 20,000-25,000 cheered for him as he hit the field and played like there was no tomorrow. In this case though P-J didn't feel the pressure to perform for this group, and P-J felt a great sense of relief wash over him. That he could just be himself even though he only really knew Rayne and a few of others from some of his classes was okay with him.
One thing that once again stood out to P-J was that he was the tallest guy in the room. Ever since he was 17 he was tied with being the tallest person in his family. P-J was the seventh of eight kids and for years his siblings would razz him about his age. Then came one morning when they all stood up at St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Church, and P-J was the same height as the oldest sibling Patrick. Last year he passed him and P-J loved the fact that he now towered over everyone else. Then again though his father was very quick to point he could still knock him down with one punch. Growing up in a somewhat tough part of town P-J's dad made sure his kids could handle themselves, and to that end he taught them all boxing techniques.
Just then someone by Dai introduced himself, and clearly he was caught off guard by what was going on. This whole situation reminded P-J of the many parties back in his hometown. One person tells a friend that the folks are going out of town, and that they are gonna raid the liquor cabinet. Then that person tells another, then another, and before you know it you gotta a riot. Although it didn't happen to often in his neighborhood, because it was pretty amazing how well-behaved people were when they found out that there was a cop living in the neighborhood.
Dai tried to look pleasant and friendly but his nervousness was showing. P-J grabbed his gear and began to walk in. As he did he made a point to stop and talk to Dai. P-J said, "P-J McCabe thanks for letting Rayne invite me. I'll do what I can to make sure you don't regret this." He gave a nod and said, "It'll be okay. Listen if I have to crash on a couch that's okay it won't be the first time. I do it at least once a week in the film room at the Athletic Complex."
With that P-J walked into the cabin and was amazed at how massive and just welcoming it all felt.
He said, "Yep I think this has the makings of a great summer."

This is the only RP site I have time for. Unbelievable someone would pull this junk.
As promised....P-J has arrived...I hope it doesn't bore you all. From what I've read....I am very lucky to be in the company of so many gifted writers....well done one and all.
Peter-Jason, or P-J as he preferred, came from a workING-class Irish Catholic family where his dad was a Homicide Detective, mom was a U-S History teacher, and three brothers and four kids. P-J had his choice of colleges to choose from, because he was the 3rd ranked Outside Linebacker in the country. Though the college he attended wasn't a powerhouse they offered P-J one thing the other big names couldn't, and that was a starting position from day one. Football wasn't going to be his career it was a stepping stone to his real career, and that was being a doctor. All indications were that if he kept elevating his level of play each year he would be a top-ten pick in three years. P-J would play 5 maybe 6 years in the NFL and then retire so he could go to Medical School.
P-J sat in his train car as it rolled on through the mid-day, and reflected on all of his life's journey to this point. P-J shared the ride with an elderly couple and a seven year old girl who was going to visit her daddy for the summer. The three of the them were on their way to the town just past Alice, and P-J listened politely when they spoke to him. He enjoyed the fact they were willing to talk about themselves for the majority of the trip. Ever since the team was catapulted into the National Spotlight by a miracle run to a BCS Bowl Game he felt like his time wasn't his own. Speaking engagements,interviews, being a part of the local Catholic Church, and of course the usual fun that comes with being a student-athlete. This was his chance for a while to just relax, see some old friends from school, and of course make some new ones.
During the last couple of weeks of school P-J began showing signs of stress. It seemed like everything was just out of control, and that was when one of his best friends from school stepped in. Rayne Maxwell was going to be spending the summer with some friends in a cabin, and he was allowed to invite some of his friends as well. Rayne could tell that this trip away was just what P-J would need, and he had no idea how right he was.
P-J's parents were initially reluctant to let him go, but since they couldn't afford to send him anywhere when he graduated High School over a year ago they agreed to let him go. Although his father was hoping he would come home and take on the summer job of reorganizing the record room at the Station. However he knew P-J needed to have some fun for a while this year was hard for him.
As the train came to a stop the porter called out on the P-A, "Welcome to the beautiful and scenic city of Alice!"
P-J stood up and said, "That's for me." He gathered his duffle bag and said to his companions, "Thanks for being such great company. Take care and safe travels." P-J smiled at them and got out of the car Once he was on the platform P-J gathered his suitcase and a garment bag. He looked around and asked, "Okay now what McCabe?"
As the train rolled away with the exception of a few workers who were heading back into the station P-J realized he was all alone. P-J shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well you wanted to get away from it all." P-J shook his head and said, "Be careful what you ask for you just might get it."
P-J walked through to the station and out the window he saw a taxi. P-J approached the cab and asked, "Excuse me? Could you get me to this address?"
P-J handed him a piece of paper with an address on it and the driver replied, "Nice address there Chief! Yeah sure no problem hop in." P-J got into the cab and they were on their way.
The driver asked, "So what you got going on up there?"
P-J was taking in the scenery and could feel the stress leaving him. He replied, "Just seeing some friends for the summer."
The driver said, "Wow! I wish I had friends like that."
P-J chuckled and then came the turn up the road to get to the cabin. When P-J saw the cabin he felt his jaw drop and his eyes grow larger. The porch alone was bigger than the bedroom he and his brother Alex shared. P-J shook his head slowly and said under his breath, "Toto I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
P-J got his luggage out of the taxi and paid the driver. He approached the front door and said, "Okay here goes nothing." With that he opened the door and saw a flurry of activity which made him smile for some reason. P-J then announced, "Hello everyone especially to Rayne Maxwell who invited me here. I am a refugee from Belk Hall Room 106-D seeking asylum for the summer. Name's Peter Jason McCabe, but please call me P-J."

I'm currently at work...I will be figuring out P-J's entrance during this time and yep...I plan on posting tonight too.
This one has SO much potential...looking forward to it.

Not an idiot. =P I'm trying to meld that with the underdeveloped friendship part. They could discover the shared hobby after arriving at the cabin?
Fair enough...works for me.
I just need to figure out how P-J can fit in with everyone.
