Let's Meet Again in the Real World!! (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

@xxLyraxx Hey, if Sophie and Luka met in high school, and Sophie and Danny both went to Madison High, then wouldn't Danny and Luka also have been in school together? I imagine they would at least have been aware of each other, but of course it's up to you to say if they were friends.

Let's Meet Again in the Real World!! (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

Alan Lisowski

---

The door to his apartment was getting stickier everyday. Alan sighed and pressed his shoulder against it, leaning into the moldering wood for a few seconds before it finally popped open, hinges squealing in protest. He stepped inside and fumbled for the lightswitch a moment, before his apartment was illuminated in all of its decrepit glory. Chipped paint, mold on the walls, vermin - this place had it all.

There was a note on the table, written in his roommate's distinctive chickenscratch. Date tonight after work - don't wait up for me. Wish your boy luck! Alan rolled his eyes and set the note back down, wondering not for the first time where Peter found this seemingly bottomless supply of women. Artists.

To say that Alan had had a rough day at work would be an understatement - some sort of biblical plague was sweeping Madison High's english department, so it had been all hands on deck for the substitutes today. Worse, because literature was his 'area of expertise', he couldn't just put on an episode of 'Bill Nye' like if he'd been subbing for a science class; the school board had actually expected him to do something, and so he'd spent all day bouncing between classes, trying to pick up lesson plans for Harper Lee, Wordsworth, Fitzgerald, all while a parade of street-tough high school students did their level best to sabotage the panicky sub.

All the minor failings of the day were still buzzing in his head when he sat down on the stained couch, all the 'should-have-saids' and 'would-have-dones'. Alan closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, and after a few moments of drifting he found himself someplace new.

Before he even opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was the smell of the sea, pure and clean. A gentle breeze blew against his face and the blackness was replaced by a clear sky, blue and orange from the sunset. He was standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the gentle waves lapping at the rocks some distance below him, the yellow sun hanging low on the horizon. For a moment he was transfixed, and found that he could not look away.

When he finally managed to rest his gaze away from the sunset, he turned to see something stranger still. Behind him was a rolling, enormous field of grass - yet patches of the grass were darker than others, in a bizarrely formulaic and familiar pattern. Sixteen statues were at his side, ranging from five to three feet tall - intricately detailed nautical figures. There were eight ships, two lighthouses, two seahorses, two fishermen, a captain and a mermaid, all hewn from the whitest marble he had ever seen.

A chessboard. He was standing on a chessboard. In the distance, parallel to the cliff's edge, the opposite number of his pieces were arrayed, black as obsidian and still as stone. Alan furrowed his brow and disturbed the silence with a single sentence. "Pawn to E4."

Slowly, the figure of the ship in front of the captain slid forward across the grass, taking up its new position on the grass board. This was shaping up to be a very interesting dream.

Question - do all of our characters experience a mid-afternoon spell of drowsiness as part of their first trip to dreamland, or is that just Sophie?

Let's Meet Again in the Real World!! (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

@Ruthenselle Alan lives in Ann Arbor - he's in the same crappy building Emily is. Can't blame you for missing it, it's kinda squirreled away in his backstory.

Danny works a night shift part-time at a dumpy diner in Ann Arbor, so if anyone thinks their character might frequent such places, let me know and we can discuss if they've met.

@Ace of flames01 Based on their ages (and the fact that Danny got held back a year), Danny and Sophie would have been going to high school in Ann Arbor at the same time. If you like, we can say they knew each other (which incidentally would also mean that Sophie went to the same school Alan teaches at) - I can see them being at least on friendly terms.

I'll get to work on my IC posts. Would it be possible to see a list of all the pairings, by the way? More to satisfy my curiousity than anything else.

| Gender |

Male

| Sexuality |

| Status |

Single

| Partner |

Emily Waring

| Occupation |

Middleweight Boxer

| In-Depth Appearance |

Danny is a tall young man who almost borders on the lanky side, with fuzzy black hair, brown eyes and a smile that quite a few people have called dopey. He’s a very twitchy person, always fidgeting and looking around, which combines with his height to make him seem a fair bit smaller than he actually is. As his profession demands, he’s basically 165 pounds of wiry muscle, well-trimmed and absolutely covered in bruises. His face is sharp and lean, with a neck that’s long by anyone’s standards and thin, heavy-lidded eyes. He’s often sporting a black eye or two, and his nose has a slight crook in it from being oft-broken in his youth.
Danny distrusts any event that requires formal clothing, and as a result his wardrobe is confined almost entirely to sneakers, tank-tops, jeans, sweat-pants, hoodies, and t-shirts. His favorite outfit is a beater and flannel, though he’ll be the first to admit it makes him feel like his dad.

Who Am I?

| Personality |

♦ Determined ♦ Unaware ♦ Friendly ♦ Naive ♦

Danny is, at his core, an absolute puppydog of a man, friendly to everyone he meets and always ready to laugh at jokes he doesn’t fully understand. He’s single-minded in pursuit of his goals and is more or less obsessed with his dream of becoming a professional fighter, completely and utterly convinced that all the good things of the world are available to anyone who works hard enough. He sees the best in everyone, which does make him almost heart-breakingly easy to trick, but Danny’s usually able to shrug off even the worst treatment with a laugh and a shrug – it’s par for the course, after all, for someone who gets beaten up professionally.

Danny is also very family-oriented, spending as much time as possible with his parents and his siblings. He’s a complete homebody (though he doesn’t seem to realize this will interfere with his dream of being a world-renowned celebrity), with a very narrow view of the world basically limited to his city and what he sees on television. Notably, he’s almost tragically unaware of what’s going on around him, often unable to understand subtext or even just observe things that are happening.

Danny is obsessed with his dream of being a professional fighter, and so spends pretty much every moment he can exercising, practicing, or watching old boxing footage to try and get an edge. When he’s not doing that, though, he’s usually spending time with his family, and is particularly fond of taking his little sister to the arcade when they can both get time off.

| History |

Danny was born as the middle child of five to a lower-middle class household in downtown Ann Arbor. His father worked at a factory and his mother ran the night-shift at a local diner, so much of his early life was spent in the company of his older siblings, Tommy and Angela, just as he later helped raise his younger siblings.

Danny struggled for much of his academic career, due to a mediocre ability to retain information and a failure to even pretend to pay attention in class, even being held back a year in first grade until his reading got up to snuff. Nevertheless, with some hard word and a little tutoring, he graduated middle of his class from Madison High, and immediately sought employment at a factory alongside his father. For a few years he lived at home, spending his days at work and his nights dead asleep, and in the back of his mind the inexhaustible optimist wondered if that was all that life held for him.

As long as he’d been old enough, Danny loved to box. He’d watched every fight tape, every boxing movie, had spent hours at the school gym running drills on the one moldy bag available. Now, when his life was just one day of toil after another, he began to dream of fame, of being one the toughest, fastest warrior in the ring. He redoubled his training, quit his job with his parent’s blessing and set about chasing his ambitions full-time. He still lives at home, training and getting whatever fights he can and supplementing his income as a server in one of Ann Arbor’s finest burger joints.
