Ink On Your Soul - New Beginnings

Arna Renheim

Arna's thoughts were overcome by an air of distress which permeated every moment of the taxi ride back to the apartment. Her hands held her head, which shook with worry as she reviewed and critiqued her own actions.

"Why didn't I say anything? Should I have said something? I think i should have said something. Now he's going to think i'm weird!" Her mother's face was contorted with an akward half-smile tried to console her daughter by patting her back.

"Come on, all you did was hand him a note. It's not like you said or did anything regrettable."

"Yea, but shouldn't I have done SOMETHING?" She said, releasing her head from the clutches of her hands and looking over at her mother.

"Arna. Don't think about it too hard. It's already happened, there's no use crying over spilt milk, or unsaid words in this case. Besides, you guys are soulmates. Just talk to him tomorrow, or something, and don't beat yourself up about it." She pulled her hand back as the taxi came to a halt in front of the apartment complex.

"Yea, I guess your right. I'm just getting worked up over nothing." Arna pulled herself back together, and stepped out of the taxi, following her mother back to the apartment. "I guess all I can do is wait till he calls." Arna resigned herself to waiting. "Anyway, when do I get to meet this roomate of yours?" She asked this as her mother opened the door to the apartment, and wandered over to the sofa.

"Whenever she gets back."

"Oh, yea, right. So, want to tell me some stuff about her?" Arna asked, taking off her shoes and taking a seat on the couch across from her mother. She leaned in, as if to pay more attention to the answer.

"Honestly, we haven't had a lot of time to talk. I've been working on some cases for the council, which have kept me out on most days, and she's rarely both here and awake when I do get back. But, from what I do recall, she's an entertainer of some sort. Oh, and I think she has one of those soulmate marking things on her wrist." Arna leaned back, relaxing against the couch.

"That's it? Interesting. Alright."

"Wanna watch TV until she gets back?" Her mother asked, moving to grab the television remote off of the coffee table.

"How about a movie?"

"Sure. Here, you find one." She said, tossing the remote to Arna, who started sifting through the on demand section. Arna's mother stood up and walked into the kitchen. "Beer? Popcorn?"

"Sure, and double sure." Arna said, as she settled on some stupid comedy movie.

Quick question, where all in the world is everyone at? I feel like I'd have to go way back to figure it out, and I kinda don't have the time to do so.

@Knight of Doom

Arna and Brain are at a restaurant in NYC. Aurus is in the nebulous zone of failed character interaction, so wherever the fuck in NYC I feel like putting him.

Also, you are free to have your character be the one staying with Arna's mother. Would allow for more character interactions N shit.

Arna Renheim

Arna and her mother conducted a fair amount of small talk over the course of a taxi ride to the restaurant. Conversations about the state of Nelcorp and sorcery casually floated between the two until the discussion got to the name and date on Arna's wrist.

"Yea, todays the day." Arna said, looking longingly at her own wrist, the ink a permanant reminder of her fate.

"Did you ever look him up?" Arna's mother asked, looking over at her daughter, who pulled her phone from her purse.

"Yea, obviously there's no way to know that this is the right guy, but I looked his name up online yesterday, before we left. Here" she pulled up a wikipedia article containing a picture of Brian Maxwell.

"Ooo, nice. I certainly hope it's him. Well, he's not quite a hunk like Aurus, but he looks charming." She snatched away Arna's phone, looking through the wikipedia page. "Oh. Oh! He's smart and rich! You ARE getting with this guy no matter what.. well, if he is your soulmate, anyway." Arna quickly snatched back her phone, her face glaring at her mother in a perturbed fashion.

"MOTHER!" Arna's mother giggled a bit as Arna defensively clutched both her wrist and her phone. "Can you at least try to act with a little more civility or something?"

"Civility, I don't know what you're talking about, dear."

They got to the restaurant, mentioned their reservation, and were taken to a table upstairs. They had been there for almost an hour by the time they finished their meals. They were simply talking and sipping wine. Arna's mother gave the bottle a number of harsh looks and glances.

"I don't know if I particularly like this.. vintage.. that's what their called, right?" Arna stiffled a laugh, as she watched her mother conduct herself in such a silly manor.

"Mother, you're no wine conessour, are you?"

"What, and you are?"

"I dabble."

The conversation between parent and child was immedietly interrupted by a dull burning sensation emmenating from Arna's wrist, and a subdued look of suprise and joy from her mother, who seemed to notice something, or someone behind Arna.

"Arna, isn't that him!?" She leaned slightly forward, and spoke in a half whisper as if they were high school students gossiping about some boy.

"Who?"

"Him!" She motioned towards a man who looked remarkably like the photo they had looked at earlier.

"Brian Maxwell." Arna muttered under her breath as she clutched her right hand around her left wrist, which seemed to be inlaid with glowing ink which burned her skin. The waiter who had led Brian to his table walked over to Arna and her mother, and quickly handed Arna a piece of paper.

"Sorry, to bother you."

"It's alright." Arna read the short message which confirmed what both she and her mother had thought. Brian Maxwell was most definitely Arna's soulmate. The woman was wracked with glee, which she attempted to restrain, leaving her lightly shaking.

"Are you alright miss?" The waiter politely asked.

"Yes, i'm fine." Arna's mother began to prepare for the pair to leave, paying the bill and whatnot, while Arna pulled a pen out of her purse, and jotted something on the back of Brian's note. She had written her phone number and email address so that Brian could contact her at a better time. Her plan was to go back to her mother's apartment, sleep, wake up in the morning, and then think about contacting Brian. Arna was too flustered at the moment to take on such a challenge as talking to the man.

The pair got up to leave, both happy with their meal, and with at least Arna's mother being joyful at the turn that the night took. On their way out, Arna passed by Brian's table, and silently handed the note to Brain. Her hand still shook, but her face had reduced in it's level of worry. She was still worried, of course, but she seemed to be smiling radiantly at the man who dared to have his name on her wrist.

@Karos

A call for all you hopeless romantics out there:

Expessing interest. Is there still a demand for hetero females?

@LadyMagnanimous

At the moment we don't seem to need anymore, but you are still free to make one.

Ink On Your Soul - New Beginnings

I posted in the interest check but also posting here for good measure.

Is there a need for another character for pairing purposes? I'm very much interested.

@LadyMagnanimous

Well, specifically for pairing purposes, a homosexual female character seems to be necessary.

A call for all you hopeless romantics out there:

@RukPortgas we always need more characters. At the moment it seems we need more female characters.

Ink On Your Soul - New Beginnings

@VarionusNW

Thanks, that list was super helpful! You missed Major Ursa but I just sent them a PM to see if they are still interested, if not that will free up a character that could solve some issues with pairings.

I just sent out a PM for one new pairing, but I'm kinda stuck on making the second. I may need a second opinion or two. XD

@Silent Observer

I assumed that Ursa was not interested because i'm pretty sure they never posted after making their character, in either OOC or IC.
