YES! There are links in the character list.

I love it when there are links.
Oh..


It's fine you guys-- you can just leave it as is for now. I would just suggest that you at least go back and make sure every single part of the dialogue from both people is included in both your posts.
I'm pretty sure the shortest character is 5'4"
โ€œYeahโ€ฆ,โ€ Liza trailed off, looking forward as she walked. You definitely didnโ€™t have to tell her that. Liza had lost count of how many notes sheโ€™d found slipped into her locker-- just in the past week-- saying things like โ€œAdmit it alreadyโ€ or โ€œI know it was youโ€. Mustโ€™ve been easy and taken very little brain power to assume it was โ€˜the bad girlโ€™ of Rosemount high school.

She suppressed a sigh and shrugged again, โ€œI know what they say. Itโ€™s not like it matters. What's the point of worrying about it....โ€ Theyโ€™ll eventually convict someone and the courts will do the restโ€ฆ in the meantime, Liza just wanted to keep a low profile. That meant not talking about her relationship with Sierra with just any Bob or Sarah.
Pffft. Oh wow-- you're right. They're all way tall except one. Haha. If nobody else will, I wouldn't mind knocking off an inch or two for diversity's sake. Usually I make my characters somewhere between 5'10" and 6'1" because I'm 6'1" is real life.
You might want to also post this in the Casual Interest Check section if you haven't already (assuming you want this to be a Casual RP). In my experience, the general interest check section doesn't get as much attention as the Free, Casual, and Advanced interest check sections....
Random people that Liza vaguely knew rarely ever tried to simply โ€œstrike upโ€ a conversation with herโ€”much less in the hallways. Most โ€˜conversationsโ€™ she had in the hallways began with โ€œHey bitch!โ€, some other obscene variant, a threat, or a simple shove in the back. Thus Thomasโ€™ sudden appearance gave Liza quite the start as she closed her locker to look up and find the longhaired Crow boy staring down at her and talking. Impulsively her hand shot forward, whacking him across the face with her bagged lunch of spicy tuna, chocolate pudding, and capri sun.

She gasped and retracted her hand almost as quickly as sheโ€™d shot it forward. โ€œOopsโ€ฆ sorry,โ€ she grimaced, โ€œYou startled me.โ€

She put her hand on the offended cheek and scoffed. โ€œHowโ€™s your face?โ€ she smiled apologetically.
โ€œGeez, you should be a ninja assassin or something," she joked, laughing-- even if he didn't, she at least found it pretty funny. She'd never whacked anyone in the face with a tuna sandwich before.

Thomas Crow. Liza had only ever had a few classes with himโ€”he was one of the smart kids that took the honors classes and got straight Aโ€™s and free ice cream at the end of every semester for academic awesomeness or whatever they called it. More importantly, however, Thomas Crow was one of the few people on Sierra Williamโ€™s mysterious list.

She suddenly remembered heโ€™d just asked her why she was on the list. Wellโ€ฆ wasnโ€™t he a blunt one. Not that she mindedโ€”she preferred getting to the point as opposed to dancing around the subject. That didnโ€™t change the fact that it was none of his business, howeverโ€ฆ even if she did know the reason. Crossing her arms, Liza shrugged nonchalantly, โ€œI donโ€™t know why Iโ€™m on the list.โ€

She smirked, โ€œMaybe she had a crush on us.โ€ She slowly started walking towards the lunch room, giving Thomas the chance to follow her if he still wanted to talk. But in the meantime-- she was hungry.
Hey Mauve and Prince...

Judging by the way you guys posted your collab, I'm guessing you guys just responded back and forth and then, at the end, put all of your own posts into one while the other person did the same, yes? Or something like that. I can't help but feel like that kinda defeats the purpose of doing a collab post, though. Judging by the conversation, there seemed to be enough paragraphs coupled with every response to simply post like normal anyway....

As they are now, however, both of your posts are somewhat confusing to read because there are times when your character responds to something the other character said but we have to scroll down or up to the other post to see what it was. It also gets a bit repetitive reading the same conversation two times in a row, even if they are from different perspectives. In the future, Chanda and I would prefer if you guys keep it all in one. It tends to flow better as a conversation that way and makes it easier to read. Don't be afraid to post half the conversation if the collab is getting too lengthy between the both of you.
Character sheet is done-- FYI
I think making up any random name would be better than just referring to it as "here" the whole time... maybe something somewhat symbolic like Dolores or Dolor (which means sorrow/pain in spanish).

Or even just something simple and generic like Greenville, Bristol, Centerville, Fairview, Salem or Ashland (literally some of the most common names for cities and towns in America). Those are just two suggestions off the top of my head.
