Oh we started while I was asleep :o I'm in the UK, it's 8:20am right now

Those pesky timezones. But don't worry, you wouldn't be left far behind. It's 3:27 am here. I'm bad at keeping a normal sleep schedule. I am tired and want to sleep, but a lot of the times, I just can't!

So we have:

2 on eastern standard USA timezone
1 Aus timezone
1 UK timezone

Not too bad. ;O

Yeah... you know what else grows? Fungus. I'm gonna hold off on posting until tomorrow. While I am excited about it, I don't wanna push things too quickly. We have a bunch of other people playing too, and I don't wanna leave them behind. It's a bad feeling for group RPs when you don't feel included.

Aw just when my characters react to you. Totally get what you mean though. Some rps I see have a posting rule that you can't do back to back posting and need to wait until 2-4 people post before you post again, depending on how big or small your group is.

"Uh thanks..." Jase murmured when randomly the girl playing cards told him he had a nice hoodie. He could not tell if she was being serious or if she was making fun of him, then again, he could never tell the difference between the two. He couldn't help eying her a little bit longer than necessary. Something about her features were familiar. He quickly looked away so that she would not get the wrong idea.

He usually tried not to pay attention to other people's conversations, especially while they were fighting, but he could not help but snort when the high kid asked what regicide was. He pressed his hand against his mouth and looked away from them. Maybe they would just think he was crazy. His parents did, so why not these random strangers, too. But seriously? How could he not know what regicide was? That was like second grade stuff. Whatever.

Jase noticed a card on the ground that was sticking out from the leg of his chair. The others did not seem to notice. He looked down at it and smirked. How fitting. He wondered if he should risk picking it up and giving it back to the girl. But before he could give it back, the redhead who seemed to be oblivious of the whole fight lifted her head and saw it. She bent down and picked it up before Jase could give her a warning.

Still holding a hand to her cramping stomach, she got up from her seat and passed Jase and held it out for the girl to take.

"You've dropped your black King card. The corner got a little bent under the chair leg." Before the other girl could respond, a panicked look crossed Alice's face. Not this again. She dropped the card and turned and ran out of the room, hoping she would find a bathroom in time.

'Oh,' A light bulb went off in Jase's head. He put his backpack on the girl's chair so that nobody would take it.

The Awakening

A week ago - School Library

"Look at her; she thinks she is so high and mighty. Little Miss Ice Queen too good to talk to people who are not part of her Freak Squad." The girl talking was a cheerleader wannabe from a grade higher than Nixie. She dressed like she was sixteen not thirteen and rumor had it, she had already started dating by the time she was ten years old. Nixie was 11 and still thought most boys were stupid. She kept her nose pressed in her book, ignoring the other, barely even flinching when the girl got closer to her and touched her bare shoulder.

"Ouch! And she is even cold as ice! What a weirdo." The girl rolled her eyes and her and her friends started to laugh. Nixie pressed her nose closer to the pages in her book. She knew her skin had an unnaturally freezing temperature, but it was not so cold that it would hurt someone. People are so dumb.

Present Day - Haunted House

Around her friends, Nixie was really energetic and usually went with the flow. She was more of a follower, but nobody seemed to mind. She was the baby of the group and the smallest. She looked around the entrance of the so-called haunted mansion and narrowed her eyes. Sure, it was dark, and she felt a strange chill swirling through her veins, it felt like ice. It did not bother her much. She preferred the cold over anything else because of her condition.

"Did anyone else notice a weird icy feeling?" She walked over to a floor length mirror that was hanging on the wall. The mirror was oddly lacking dust. Had somebody been through here recently? Nixie looked into it and jumped when she saw a crow take off from behind a shelf and fly out of a broken window. She spun around, hoping it had been something that happened for real and not something that just happened in the mirror.

Rubbing her hands together nervously, she chuckled.

The stair banisters caught her eye. The stairs that led up to another story were very eloquent looking and she could imagine what they must have looked like when this place was brand new. There was what looked like red carpet on the stairs, but it was so stained and tattered, that it was hard to be sure of the color.

"Maybe we should find a bathroom. Do you think there is even running water?" She twisted up her noise at the idea of the smell if they all went to the bathroom and could not flush the toilet. Ew.

I have a friend in Australia and know she is more than a day ahead of me as far as time goes. O.o

But no worries! It's a small group so we shouldn't have any problems with someone getting left too far behind.

She could not believe that three months ago she had been a normal girl with normal teenage angst, nothing major and now here she was, fifteen and two months pregnant. By force, no less. She should have never let her so-called best friend talk her into going to that party. What had she been thinking? Now here she was with a horrible secret that she had only revealed to her brother. How much would she be willing to tell this group? Would the support leader tell her parents?

Walking into the support group room, Alice looked around. She twisted her red hair around her fingers and looked for a place to sit. Finding a couple of empty chairs, she went and set down. Part of her wished that nobody would notice her, speak or ask her why she came. Of course the group was for talking about their problems, so she knew she'd eventually have to talk. Alice pressed a hand to her flat stomach and leaned forward in her seat, looking down at the floor. Her curly hair pooled around her face.

As soon as Jase walked into the room, his eyes widened at the amount of people attending. He did not do well in big groups of people and hated making small talk. People who made small talk did not really care about the other person. What good would this group do for him anyway? He did not really have a "problem" per say. His parents were just freaks who thought therapy could cure his gayness.

'Well there you go, your problem is your parents,' he told himself. 'I guess also the depression and social anxiety... but my parents are the source.' He sighed, dropping his backpack into a empty seat. He pulled off the stupid "all American boy" looking jacket his parents forced him to wear, and pulled out his favorite black hoodie from his pack. He pulled it on over the baby blue t-shirt he wore. His parents were really strict about image and hated his dark clothing. If his father did not already physically abuse him for being gay, Jase would parade around in a dress just to make them angry, but knew he could never go that far.

He set down between a girl playing cards and a timid looking redhead who was currently hiding beneath her hair.
