Hey Ineff. :] Quite interested. With us being the only two besides the new person who are still mostly active on Delbrook, I think I'm gonna try for a couple 1x1s.. if not just a single one. But, yeah! Shoot me a PM. I'd love to see what we could come up with!
locaัฮนon: Local Park ฮนnัeracัฮนng wฮนัะฝ: Quinten Davina - Caleb @smarty0114 - Mentions: Dominik @KaijuBaragon
As Quinten pulled into the parking lot of the park, he could hear his phone ping with a message. He slowly turned to Davina with a more serious gaze than his usual happy-go-lucky look, raising an eyebrow at her. "Since I don't have a sister, you're pretty much the closest thing I've got to one. Anything happens to you, I'm going on a man-hunt. Understand? He hurts you, in any way, I better be the first person you tell, cause I'm serious when I say I'm not gonna let that shit fly, got it?"
Davina looked back at her cousin with a slightly shocked expression, not expecting him to yammer off with something like that. Of course, they'd always been close but for the most part, he'd left her alone when it came to relationships. He wasn't around to help her with the last one, and maybe that was the reason he was so adamant about making sure she was gonna be okay this time around. I mean, if it got that far, anyway. Davina half-smiled at Quinn with a certain understanding, letting go of a single nod before she leaned across the center console to wrap her arms around his neck in a tight hug, sighing softly.
"I'll be okay. We're all in the same class for crying out loud. If he does me wrong, you know where to find him, right?" Davina laughed jokingly, but Quinn's hold on her only got tighter. He solemnly murmured, "History will not repeat itself if I can help it.." he let her go, then, looking her in the eye. "I love you, kid." his half-hearted smile almost made her tear up. Normally she'd have made a sarcastic comment about him calling her a 'kid', but she couldn't bring herself to ruin the moment. She replied with a simple 'I love you too, cousin' before she got out of his Jeep and closed the door shut behind her.
Once Davina stepped out of the car, Quinn watched her a moment before scooping up his phone to check the message. Caleb. Party? With the rowdies? 'Oh brother,' thought Quinn to himself. Sliding a hand roughly down his face, he pulled his phone up from off his thigh and typed out a quick reply as he shook his head.
Suddenly Quinten stopped typing, frowning at the phone screen. Yes, he missed his son- but this was also the first, and most likely one of the biggest parties of the year. Although Quinn hadn't cared much for parties anymore, there was a time when he used to love attending them. He figured his mom wouldn't mind one night of watching her grandson, and it's not like Quinn would get hammered, or hardly even buzzed for the matter. New Orleans was a bit of a drive, and he wouldn't want to risk any issues like potentially getting pulled over and maybe even arrested. Quinn shook his head of the thoughts and erased what he had previously typed before texting his mom and wrote Caleb a less-depressing response.
@The1Rolling1Boy Please fill out Asreil's Bio, and both the girls need to expand on theirs. Even if they don't personally want to explain their past, please fill in for them in a line below a decent description of what their life was like. In addition, their descriptive personalities need to be a bit longer, as well. Check back in with me when you finish that, please :) Other than that, you're characters look great!
"I'm 27-years-old.. I think. I don't really keep track of the days anymore so it's hard to tell when my birthday has passed or not."

"I actually didn't have one. I was only 10-years-old when the outbreak began. I mean, I helped my father in his Tae Kwon Do instructing classes, but I didn't get paid for it.. so it doesn't really count, but I guess it was something."
|| BIOGRAPHY ||
17 years ago, Keani was just a kid. She survived mostly due to her parents sacrifices. By the age of 15, both parents had been taken by the virus. By age 20, she had settled into a community and even found a significant other of her own during her first few months there. It didn't take long for them to become pregnant, though it wasn't particularly planned. To have a child in this day and age pretty much meant death, both for the child and the people that tried protecting it. Her love, her son and herself lived peacefully at the community for the better part of 5 years, until one day a fairly large group of traveling raiders tore apart their little piece of paradise.. and in the process, killed both her husband and son. Keani barely escaped with her life. She's got a few bullet wound scars to prove it. She still keeps the one picture she has of Kainoa safely in an old wallet she fashioned from the material of an old pair of his shorts. She never got a picture of her husband and herself, but there's no way she could forget his face. She sees it in her son's, and that's enough for her. Keani stays on foot, never settling in one place for too long. She and her dog, Kai that she acquired from a rare dog breeder at one of the plantations she stayed at temporarily, are on the run.
It had been a long morning of traveling that had started a few hours before the break of dawn. Night favored Keani and Ronin, as the nights and early mornings were much easier to travel in for them. Ronin in particular, with his thick fur, he'd overheat a lot faster in the afternoon sun. Their travels had since brought them to a large highway, packed with old, rusty and dusty cars, trucks and 18-wheelers broken down many years ago, in a time when things had just begun to take it's turn for the worse. It'd been months since Keani had even seen a car, the sight of them alone brought back broken, faded memories of the fantasy she once lived those 17-years-ago. The sounds of the music on the radio were just jumbled white noise in her mind, unable to recall what music even sounded like, anymore.
It wasn't till Ronin began to growl deep in his chest, head hunkered low as he stared off ahead at something far ahead of them that Keani was brought back from her memory and into the present. Quickly she hid behind a fairly large van, pulling her collapsible binoculars from her back pocket to take a peek at whatever was ahead. A man and a young boy. For a moment, Keani figured they were together until she realized the boy was aiming a rifle at the man's chest, and then suddenly a scuffle unfolded between the two as they rassled back and forth. Keani safely tucked her binoculars back into her pocket before unsheathing her dual swords from off her back, staying in a half-crouched position as she maneuvered through the lines of traffic. Keeping a good hundred feet between her and the two men, Keani could barely make out their voices. It sounded as if one was trying to make peace. Most likely was outsmarted by the other and wanted to save his own skin. 'Figures,' Keani thought to herself.
Holding out her hand in a fist, Ronin stayed deathly still beside her as she peeked up through the car window at the two before her. From behind, Keani could also hear a couple of stags behind her wandering her way, to which she grit her teeth and cursed under her breath. Peering from the two guys to the stags behind her, she didn't want to blow her cover but she also didn't want them to get close enough to chase her from it, either. Either way, her cover would be blown. Keani let out a huge sigh and got up from her place of cover, not caring if the two saw now, walking up to the stags as they growled and moaned at her. With two swift swings of her swords, one for each, both the stags fell to the floor in slumps. Keani clicked her tongue a couple of times at Kai, who responded quickly by running to her side, sniffing at the dead stags on the floor before sneezing at them almost in disgust. Her eyes were set on the two she'd been focused on before, eyes narrowed.
