Marcus had went back over towards the drink station and gotten a refill. He was standing by the pool and his eyes peered over various individuals as they were interacting with one another while others danced to the music that was roaring. Marcus could not help but bob his head just a tad bit to the music as he took another sip of his drink then continued to stare at the crowd. He still stood by himself and even eyed his friend a few times, just making sure he was okay and actually interacting with people, unlike himself. But all that changed whenever Penelope, or Penny, basically threw herself upon him, which he did not mind from her, at all.

”Hey there, Penny!” He spoke while hugging her tightly but he did waste his drink - All of it. His lips turned into a slight smile, showing only a few teeth before he spoke towards her again. ”Oh, yeah, it’s good to see you, too. Even if you made me waste my drink.” Marcus joked towards her as his eyes widened at the kiss upon his cheek and the nuzzling of the neck. He’d never forget the friends with benefits moments with Penny because she’d make sure you never forget.

“Aw, shit. I’m so sorry! I could make you another!” He had released her from his grasp and she raised her hands to her lips in a shocked expression. Marcus was already making another drink though and he didn’t seem to honestly mind.

”So, are you enjoying the partying, Penny?” He had asked the question towards her as he was fixing himself another drink. It was then he had heard another girly voice and it Chanel’s, which caused him to jump slightly. He turned around to face the female now with a soft smile forming. ”Yeah, Santiago did his thing with this party.” Marcus responded to Chanel’s question then took a sip of his new drink, which he nearly spat out at her next choice words.

Marcus slid just a few paces away from Penny while responding to Chanel again. ”Me and Penny? Together? Ha. Ha.” He said then continued on with speaking towards them both. ”Don’t make me laugh. Even though, Penny along with yourself Chanel are nice catches and any guy would be lucky to have you both.” Marcus complimented the ladies then chuckled a bit nervously afterwards.

Penny had to put a knuckle in between her teeth to keep herself from giggling. “As he said, not a couple. Just very good friends,” she said in a light and airy tone, her hands using a sweeping motion away from her mouth as if to brush away such a notion. Her charming smile returned as she looked approvingly over Chanel’s form. “And you are looking absolutely fan-fucking-tastic! You always look like a dream.” She approached the table to make herself another tequila sunrise, humming happily along to the strange music.

Chanel was very much relieved to hear that Marcus and Penny were just “good friends,” but the uncomfortable twinge of jealousy she felt when she watched the two before just wouldn't subside. Nevertheless, Chanel kept her cool, and let out a small chuckle as Marcus nervously rambled on. “Ah, I see. My bad,” the young woman said as she placed her cup on a nearby table. Part of Chanel wanted, oh so badly, to mutter that they certainly appeared to be much more than just good friends, but she decided against it the moment Penny complimented her outfit. “Oh, thanks girl! You look nice, too.” As Chanel spoke, she began to take in the other girl’s outfit; while it wasn't something that Chanel would wear herself, she did have to admit that it looked pretty good on Penny.

Marcus’ eyes went between Penny and Chanel for the moment as he looked away while taking a brief sip from his cup. His eyes went over toward Penny whenever she practically repeated what he had just said but with a giggle. He’d definitely have to make it up to Penny later on though. Marcus nodded his head agreedly at her words then eyed Chanel as she apologized for the assumption. ”It’s cool, cutie. No sweat.” Marcus said with a wink then agreed with Penny whenever she mentioned that Chanel looked fantastic ^__ Well, fan-fucking-tastic as she put it.

Penny was over the moon! She beamed at Chanel. “Really? Thank you! I mean, I know I look good, but coming from the fashion goddess of Kings that must really be saying something!” She stepped away from the table and sipped at her strong drink before spinning in a circle to better show off.

Chanel simply smiled and chuckled at the other girl’s response before taking a quick breath and refocusing her attention on Marcus. With Julie’s pep talk fresh in her mind, the young woman smiled warmly at the boy before saying, “You know, you look pretty good too, Marcus.”

Honestly, right now, Marcus was caught between a rock and a hard place then looked back over towards Chanel. He asked her the same question he had just asked Penny earlier. ”So, Chanel, how are you enjoying the party? Save me a dance?” Marcus asked with an ending smile.

“Oh, well I’ve actually been having a lot a fun since I got here,” Chanel said, beaming with excitement, “And I’ll definitely save you a dance, for sure.”

Marcus chuckled a little then held his cup up at Chanel. ”Sounds good, doll face.” He smiled over towards her as he walked to stand closer beside Chanel now.

Penny’s Fuck-dar was going off madly. Oooooh! She was going to have a chance to play at a bit of match maker. Sure she would have liked to have Marcus take her home. But she could literally have her pick of any guy here. And Chanel seemed to have an interest if her Fuck-dar wasn’t overreacting. A small smirk settled over her lips as she threw together another Tequila Sunrise and pushed in into Chanel’s hands. “Orange is one of your best colors, lovely.” She had an almost knowing smile on her lips as she said, “How about we got sit a bit closer to the shore. It’ll be easier to talk there.” She gestured to a picnic table near the beach but still near enough to the party.

After taking a quick sip of the new and surprisingly delicious drink that Penny had shoved into her hands and thinking it over for a brief second, Chanel shrugged her shoulders and began walking towards the table Penny had motioned towards. “Sure, why not.” While she was still a bit nervous, the young woman decided that she could use this time to get to know more about the guy she’d been crushing on for so long. That, and maybe figure out what it was about Penny that he’d originally seemed to be so infatuated with.

His ears twitched whenever Penny said something about sitting closer to the shore as his eyes went to Chanel, who responded first. ”I mean, I guess.” Marcus would respond with the shrug of his shoulders as he waited for Chanel and Penny to walk in front of him then he’d follow suit.

Penny took this opportunity to skip up next to Chanel, ahead of Marcus. She leaned in close to the girl and whispered, “Please bear with me and trust me.” She gave the girl her most dazzling smile before pausing to wait for Marcus. Chanel simply flashed the girl a puzzled look before taking a seat on the wooden bench, placing her glass on the picnic table as she did so.

Marcus raised a slight brow up at Penny as she leaned in close to Chanel and whispered. ”What was that about?” He asked Penny, who had taken a brief pause so that he could catch up with them but he still had a brow raised. He could not help but question it because he was slightly curious about the little gesture that Penny had just displayed.

“It’s a secret between girls,” Penny said with a wink and tapped a finger against her lips.

”Mhm. I’m sure.” Marcus responded toward Penny as he sat down beside Penny, who sat in between himself and Chanel, he placed his almost empty cup on the table in the process.

“Marcus,” she said with delight and put an arm through his.

Marcus jumped slightly then looked at their intertwined arms as he looked at Penny. ”What?” He responded playfully.

“How’s life? What’s new?” She bumped him with her hip playfully and grinned.

”Life is good, honestly. Just ready to graduate high school.” He’d lean up a little and eye Chanel. ”Am I right, Chanel?” He’d ask as his eyes then narrowed toward Penny. He knew that she was up to something but could not put her finger on it quite yet though wondered to himself about what that was. Chanel simply nodded her head in agreement as she took another sip from her cup and eyed her two classmates. While she wanted to be invested in the conversation, part of her couldn’t help but wonder what Penny’s earlier statement was all about; what was this girl up to? Nevertheless, she decided to push her worries aside and do as Penny said.

“Definitely. Let’s hope this year goes by quickly.” Marcus nodded agreement to Chanel’s response as he held up his cup toward her then chugged down the rest of it.

”Indeed, Chanel.” He responded after he slammed his cup down on the table.

“Bah, that’s so boring. Besides, school is fun!” She giggled quietly to herself. ”I don’t know what school you’re attending but…” He took a brief pause. ”School has never been fun.” Marcus joked at Penny then continued to sit there with the two women he might’ve liked. “Do you know what colleges you want to get into after we graduate?” She looked between the pair, a happy and expectant grin on her face.

”I want to go to Columbia in New York. Not sure what to major in yet though but Journalism is at the top of the list. I think this face would look good on camera.” Marcus responded as he did a small pose then laughed as he eyed them both. ”What about yourselves, ladies?” He’d ask them and waited to hear their responses.

“Columbia’s a great choice,” Chanel said, nodding her head and laughing at the pose Marcus struck, “I did think about going to school up in New York since I really miss it there, but I think I might just going to stick with Florida A&M University so that I can stay close to my family...” Chanel slightly cringed as she said those last few words, an unpleasant memory resurfacing for a brief moment; the expression was gone almost as quick as it had appeared. “I’ll be in the fine arts program.”

“Wow, you are both already so decided! I just don’t know where I would want to go. Maybe I’ll take a couple of years off and travel the world or some shit,” she laughed but felt a pang of something she couldn’t describe. It seemed everyone knew what they were doing after high school. “You are both from New York then? What’s it like?” She turned and looked behind her and her face lit up like a beacon. “Aaaah! I have to go say Hi to someone real quick. I’ll be back. You two shoot the shit for a bit.” She jumped out of her seat at the table and bumped Marcus with her hip again to knock him toward Chanel. “See you soon!” The young woman winked and walked away. She had no intention of coming back. It was in that moment that Chanel finally realized what it was that Penny was up to, and she couldn’t help but shake her head and giggle. That girl sure was full of surprises.

Ah, Summer ^___ A two month holiday that most teenagers and young adults that are in school or college count down the days for since the first day their butts find themselves implanted in desks. It is also known that within those two months, a lot of teenagers, families and whoever else matters take vacations to wherever they have planned in advance... Just like these seniors from Park Crossing High, who are going to be living it up in Miami throughout the whole entire Summer. The beach house they will be residing in over the Summer consists of about eight rooms, with two guest rooms and some air mattresses; a wide, well-stocked kitchen, and a large enough living area space to throw a monstrous house party. For transportation, two Jeep Cherokees were available, both of which are black in color and were parked in the garage.

The Park Crossing graduates have been in Miami for about five days now. It is Saturday evening: their first weekend at the luxurious location has arrived. Most of the teenagers in the beach house were planning on attending the "Bonfire on the Beach" party, while others were free to do as they wanted. They are in Miami, after all: the possibilities are endless. It's about 5:45 PM and the party on the beach doesn't start until 7:00 PM. Those interested in attending have about an hour and fifteen minutes to prepare and pregame before the party.

Ready.

That's the main word that describes Kimberly right now as she sat in the living area, fully dress and with light makeup on her face. She let out a sigh as she leaned her head back with a groan because she was seemingly the only person actually ready. They still had an hour or so left though but she honestly did not want to be late to the party ^___ Yes, to a party but that's just the type of person she was. Kimberly had to be early or on time just about anywhere she went. She continued to sit with her head leaned back until she heard someone coming down the stairs. It was Bradley, who was dressed in nothing but a pair of jeans, no shirt or t-shirt, and no shoes.

She eyed him briefly before he waved toward her and she offered a small wave back then got up and followed him into the kitchen. "Why is no one ready yet?" She asked him while leaning down on the counter as Bradley grabbed a bottled water from the fridge. "You're seemingly the only punctual person here, Kim." Bradley said with a chuckle as he then opened up his bottled water then took a small sip.

Kimberly rolled her eyes at his comment as that was exactly what it seemed like. "But then again, we do have an hour to get there so yeah." Bradley mentioned as Kimberly nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah but anything can happen before we get there. Someone can slip on the sidewalk or something." She spoke as Bradley walked toward her with a smile. You're right. But what's the possibility of that actually happening?" He did not even wait for her response before he left and went back up the stairs to finish getting ready.

"Whatever." She grumbled as she sat her phone down on the counter after checking the time then walked over toward the fridge and got herself a bottled Blue Moon beer. Kimberly twisted the top off of beverage then took a sip before she grabbed her phone and exited the kitchen. She went back to the living area and sat down on the sofa with another sigh as she just decided to scroll through her phone on social media as she waited for everyone else. "Come on, guys!" She shouted from her seated position then took another sip from her beer.

She was more than ready to go and just about everyone upstairs knew it.

_{A Collaboration between Silence & Maya}

Her eyes gazed through the small window of the carriage as it rocked slightly on the graveled road. She smiled slightly as they neared towards the Kingdom of Exodus for the festival. Her mind flashbacked on their journey towards the Kingdom as it wasn't bumpy or troublesome but because she was with her King and felt the love in the air around them. Antonette's eyes peered over towards him for the moment with a pearly white smile before she went back to staring out of the scenery again. Her mind did another flashback to whenever she was getting ready to travel to the festival.

Antonette's handmaidens had prepped and primped her to look her best, even though their wealth was a little low. She had thanked them for their services then quickly dismissed them while guards grabbed her belongings to take to the carriage. She had sat on the edge of her bed with a sigh then quickly rose up to her feet whenever her chamber doors reopened and the guards were ready to take her to the carriage. She nodded her head towards them and stood in the middle of four guards now.

When she arrived at the carriage, she had seen her husband, her King standing there as when she neared him, she planted a kiss upon his cheek. He had even helped her into the carriage. "How are you doing, my King?" She'd ask him whenever he was settled inside of the carriage. She was quite excited to be going to the Kingdom of Exodus for the festival and she was quite curious to know about their expenses and how they kept their wealth. But that was something she would keep to herself and not mention to the King.

She came back to reality then smiled over towards Klaus again before clearing her throat and speaking towards him. "Excited for the festival, my love?" She stood up, bent over because of the room in the carriage then went over to sit beside him. "I'm excited. Hopefully, you'll save me a dance." Antonette teased as she reached to grab his hand and stared into his eyes with her own.

The King sat silently, eyes sealed shut while he ran different scenarios through his head. His plan for tonight and the nights to come were to mingle, make as many alliances as he could, and return home to begin plans to build his Kingdom's numbers as well as popularity. He knew his Kingdom was not well liked, being one of the more dangerous, but at least they weren't Luthra. Earlier that same day he had be thinking on the festival while he prepared himself for it, he imagined what it would look like, what the Kingdom looked like. He had never stepped foot in Exodus, the people were odd, but they were also very wealthy.. The King was dressed humbly, his Kingdom wasn't that of much wealth but being a royal, him and his Queen had enough to look put together. On his hip he carried his father's sword, one hand always placed atop it in case he would need to use it. He assumed Exodus was a quite safe Kingdom however, but with all the strange guests and Luthra arriving, the unthinkable could happen.

The King's mind would once again wander to earlier in the day, he had just finished getting ready for the festivities when he would find his most trusted guards, muttering how he'd like them to keep a close eye on his Queen rather than himself. While he was a very stern and cold man in most cases, he still did care for his Queen dearly, he wanted her safety to be a top priority. Klaus would dismiss the men, telling them to fetch his Queen before he himself made his way outside to the carriage where he would greet Antonette. How're you doing my King?" The woman would chirp, the King offering a weak smile before kissing her cheek in return. He would usher her into the carriage, helping her to her seat before settling down into a seat himself. "I am well, how are you my dear? Your dress looks lovely, how much did that cost us?" He would begin his sentence sweetly, but all good things came to an end with Klaus. As soon as he had started, his kindness withered and the talk of money would arise. He knew Antonette was good with finances and wouldn't dare spend too much, but he couldn't help himself but to be snarky.

The sound of Antonette's voice would shake Klaus from his daydreaming, his eyes flicking open to gaze out at the Kingdom inching closer and closer. It was a gorgeous Kingdom, his blood boiled with jealousy. "Yes, very" The man would mutter in response to her question about being excited for the festivities, his eyes still glued to Exodus. The soft touch of her hand would release the lock his eyes had on the Kingdom, his blood cooling slightly. He would glance over at his Queen, a gentle smile tugging at his cheeks. "Of course my love, always have room for a dance with you." Klaus clutched her hand, raising it to his mouth to plant the softest peck atop it. Releasing her hand to turn his head away once more, eyes examining the grand Kingdom doors they were approaching. "Their Kingdom isn't that great is it? These blood drinkers need to be knocked down a level..." The King would huff out, his jaw clenching, it was quite obvious the man was under duress, a ticking time bomb by now.

Earlier she did not really answer how much her dress cost because it was indeed expensive for their Kingdom. She just chuckled and acted like she did not hear the question but now, the truth was going to set her free. "My King, I must tell you that this dress..." Antonette reached her hand down to tug on it before placing them on Klaus' hand now and gazing into his eyes with sincerity. "Did cost a fortune but I just wanted to make a good impression in Exodus." She admitted to him and hoped that he would not be upset with her. Hell, she did do the finances for the Kingdom so a little money to spend on herself and her King wasn't such a bad idea ^___ At least in her mind, it wasn't.

Antonette smiled brightly whenever he mentioned that he'd always have room for a dance with her then chuckled like a little school girl, which ended with a snort, then slapped his arm playfully. Her eyes peered back out of the small window as the Kingdom of Exodus came more and more into view. "It certainly is magical. Almost memorizing, I'd say." She spoke openly about it then turned her attention back towards Klaus with another bright smile. She rubbed his hand with her own with a sigh.

"I wonder how they keep up their expenses and such." Antonette honestly hated being one of the lowest wealth Kingdoms around but she might sneak into the offices of Exodus to see what they are really doing with their expenses. A slight smirk formed at the corners of her lips as her eyes rolled up with the thought. She just might actually do that.

Klaus would clench his fist tightly upon hearing she had spent a fortune on the dress. He would close his eyes once more, sighing heavily before nodding. "That's fine, we should make a grand appearance, wouldn't want my Queen in rags." The King would glance towards Antonette when she spoke of Exodus's wealth and how they kept it up, his own questions running through his head silently. "I too would like to know how people such as Freyja's, keep their pockets so full..." His voice was that of a grumble, he was very clearly upset. The jealously thick in his words, his ego rising each time he spoke of the Kingdom.

The carriage would come to a swift halt, Klaus would exit, offering a hand to his Queen to help her out before standing at the entrance of Exodus. Loud music would flow from the Kingdom, smells of fresh food and different oils following.

It was no doubt that Klaus was mad at Antonette but he still complimented her anyway, which she could help but smile about. She raised a brow at his next statement then knew right then smirked as she knew right then and there that she must ask certain questions to find out. The carriage at finally came to a halt at the entrance and she looked as Klaus exited then offered his hand to her, which she gladly accepted then stood beside Klaus. Her eyes lit up with amazement at the Kingdom as she music and food along with many other things made her much more excited.

"Come on, my King." Antonette said as she clasped her hand with Klaus and practically dragged him through the entrance gate.

I’ll try and get a post up today

@silence sounds @Aamaya. If you had any ideas for our characters interacting when they first arrive feel free to pm

Thanks for making me a Co-GM. Now people can really bow down to me. c:

"The Flames of Love" or "I Love You, I Promise." (Two Plots, Both Mature)

@SammyPanda I am honestly in love with both of these because I am a sucker for romance. I am quite overstocked on roleplays right now, which is highly unfortunate. Damn it!

Hey guys. Just a quick update about the Princess of Earthica. After three stressful, long days my body is crashing down a little. I will start working on a CS regardless, but I am sure I won't be able to finish it today. I hope that's alright and not causing any trouble.

@KahleenCuthald

No trouble at all. :) Cannot wait to see the sheet whenever you get it up, love.
