@lovely complex Still here!! >.> I'll get a post up tonight or tomorrow! ---I will never leave O-O

But... Who to interact with~

[The Muse]

Catherine

Name
Catherine Labelle

Birthday
04/01/1990

Age
25
Appearance


Height: 5'11"

Weight: 145 lb

Known for her soft eyes warm smile, her students know all too well how that gaze can sharped and grin turn wicked. Still, she's known as someone who would look downright elegant if she ever bothered to put on that appearance. Instead she carries the air of someone wholly unprofessional, unrestrained and unashamed.

Position
Unattached to Millington aside from her students.

Secret
Oh, right, about that...

School
Masters of Education in History, contemplating going back for another degree in the future.

Occupation
Grade 9 Social Studies teacher.

Personality
Catherine isn't exactly an easy person to gain the trust of, but that doesn't stop her from being a genuinely friendly and social person. She wears her passions like a dress, and a little thing like humility won't stop her from breaking out into dance in the middle of the street, and heaven forbid you get her started on a lecture in history. She is both loved and feared by her students, lessons are fun and games compared to long lectures full of notes and speeches. It's quick reminder though that she's well read in torture methods across the ages if her students act up too much.

Short Bio
Born nearby in an even smaller town than Millington, Catherine has had a mostly uneventful life. She was always a voracious learner, excelled in school, married her childhood sweetheart, took out loans, and went to college at Millington University, deadset on becoming a teacher. Much like the rest of her life, the decision was a smooth and easy one for her. She had always loved the idea of being able to spread her knowledge around, and the nearby Millington University was both cheap, and well known for producing educators in Oregon.

However, it was at this point that her smooth and easy life began to break apart. She needed to work in order to stay in school, and the stress of that in turn ate at her grades. The relationship with her husband crumbled rapidly after a couple years, and she very nearly dropped out of school altogether. Stress evolved into depression, and long scars up her arms indicate a very real brush with death. Before she could make another attempt on her life something... changed. Slowly her grades recovered, and the woman seemed to find her smile once more. By the time she finally earned her degree, it seemed all traces of that period were gone for her, save for a few scars and a much more guarded view on trust.

Two years ago she started working at Millington High School, where she had also spent her time as a student teacher. Her... eccentricity when it came to the job had certainly ruffled a few feathers since her arrival, but overall it looked like she was there to stay. When she graduated from University she bought a house... right next to the Reese family. A decision that has filled her with mild regret ever since, as such she tend to spend her free time wandering around town rather than at home. It seemed she was always broke, so she did much more window shopping than anything else, chatting up the locals to pass the time. As such, she's become quite a well known face around town.

@Snagglepuss89

@Saint Girralo
We should probably work on a collab soon ^__^

[LovelyComplex]

This is the day Riley died.

[Saint Girralo]

So is anyone going to run into James and Nathan at the mall? Or are they going to slip past people's attention?

[Emma]

Is anyone else at the mall location at the moment Other then James and Nathan ?

[Athinar]

@Emma Not me, unfortunately. Maddie has to surprise Jerry first.

[Snagglepuss89]

Might want to stop making new events until the next timeskip is over. I feel it coming soon.

[Athinar]

They said; "Follow your dreams. So I kicked Riley Reese in the face."

[Saint Girralo]

Well he's dead. Nice knowing ya Riley, good thing they all have insurance through the diner being full time and all to cover the damage done, but your pretty face is no more.

[LovelyComplex]

@Saint Girralo He'll be impressed ~shrugs~

A black eye and bruises will heal overtime. Logically, Riley probably will go unconscious suffering from a concussion due to momentum.

Usually in a park there are hardly to none rooftops to jump off of and personally my mind doesn't understand how this was possible ~shrugs~

[LovelyComplex]

@Athinar I'd say Maddie is more freerunning than doing parkour. Parkour is getting from point A to point B in the most efficient and fast way within a complex area, while freerunning is using acrobatics for aesthetics.

Parkour isn't just jumping roofs. Parkour includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation. Before practitioners use the outside they should practice in a padded gymnasium so that incidents like this don't happen.

When Riley does wake up, if he does get the chance, he'll probably go over safety with Maddie since this started off as a military practice and he very much respects the roots of the discipline.

(Meaning, I have friends who taught me what Parkour and Freerunning is and I personally cannot let a character practice this discipline without understanding it)

[Viciousmarrow]

@Athinar Yeah there's no rooftops nearby in this park (or at least where they're standing), so there's not a good chance of her hitting him in the face. xD It would make more sense if she came from behind, leaped over the wall, and rammed into Riley.

[LovelyComplex]

I think regardless of how this goes, the worst day award belongs to Riley.

[Saint Girralo]

He got kicked in the face and knocked out. The only way that can really be topped it by having a bone broken or getting killed. @lovely complex

[LovelyComplex]

@Saint Girralo Well this situation is like if Riley got hit by a football player who weighs 300+ pounds without a helmet on. So... a light concussion is an understatement of the severity of this head injury.

We're going to wait until Athinar is caught up to speed before any of us post again.

[Viciousmarrow]

@Athinar

@Themerlinhawk is our resident expert on anatomy since he does martial arts and such. Based on the positioning, Maddie would have hit Riley from the side or behind (since his sister's are directly in front of him). So her Spider-Man esque actions of flipping off his face would break Riley's neck and possibly blind him for the rest of his life. xD

So yeah, that's definitely going to need an edit lest Riley be handicapped forever and Maddie suffering severe legal repercussions. xD

[Saint Girralo]

Yes please don't paralyse Riley, they can't afford that. They'll need to put him down.
