~~~Lainie~~~

More people were filling the hallways, footsteps and chatter replacing the silence. Chewing her nails, Lainie pulled back to avoid crashing into anyone. Her gaze darted from the floor to the growing crowd, then back again. Large groups put her out of her comfort zone, yet on some level, the sight of other students chatting and bonding so effortlessly brought with it a pang of envy. If only she could be that confident. She thought of the other members of her coven who had no trouble making friends, who had everything to be self-assured about, who had magic that helped rather than harmed.

She was considering turning around and going back to her room when somebody addressed her. She raised her head to see an unusually tall man with red and black hair, giving her a smile filled with what looked like dragon fangs. When he asked about the smell of smoke, she cringed. "Uh..." She glanced over her shoulder in the direction of her apartment before forcing herself to meet his gaze. "There was a slight, um, accident," she explained in a hushed voice, tightening her grip on her can of water. The shiny pink marks that speckled her hand, reminders of other incidents, stood out even more against her pale skin as she did so. "I-It's ok now, I was able to put it out. But you wouldn't happen to have seen anyone I could talk to about that?" She wondered if Miss Bertram would be up by now.

*POSITIVE* LGBT++ hangout, anybody? *CIS/STRAIGHT WELCOME TOO* :D

Don't want to cut anyone off, but is anyone here religious and homosexual?

@bix

Not religious any more, but was raised religious and knew I was bi from my early teens. I didn't have much of a conflict over it. My mum's a Christian, accepts my sexuality and is supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Ok, when I was 14 she thought I was going through a phase, but she knows better now, and she never had a problem with it.

Ok. @Aspen Wren, did you get my PM about The Return?

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words

It's alive... right?

Things that people have said to you.

"Do you want a bag with that?" (My girlfriend as I woke her from a nap on the sofa. She works in customer service.)

"Stop laughing! It's creeping me out!" (Again, my girlfriend. Apparently I have a creepy laugh.)

"God, your hair's a mess." (My sister. I'd come back from university and hadn't seen her for months. This was the first thing she said.)

"Meow. Mrrrrow mow mow. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." (Not a cat. A person.)

"The crotch shadows?!" (I was talking about the band The Cruxshadows to a friend. He thought I said this.)

What Are You Listening To?

So ridiculously catchy... *dances* Love the song but it's going to be stuck in my head all day.

What Are You Listening To?

Good ol' Motorhead. RIP Lemmy.

*POSITIVE* LGBT++ hangout, anybody? *CIS/STRAIGHT WELCOME TOO* :D

Hi, @RosebeltAngel! Yeah, that assumption makes me laugh too. Though what I get most often is people assuming somebody is either gay or straight, so I have family members who seem to think I'm exclusively gay (even though I've told them I'm bi, and have dated men) just because I'm in a relationship with a woman. Luckily, most of my friends are pretty open-minded and understanding.

It lives! Hopefully now other people will come back and get their dragons.

Ok, if anyone wants to talk to a shaken up fire elemental wandering around the hallways, feel free to do so. Lainie's not really the kind of person to go up and talk to people unless she knows them well.

@Aspen Wren Yeah, shame about The Return, I lurked around the page and it looks good, the only reason I didn't join is I'm going away next weekend and didn't want to leave people hanging in too many RPs. (I'll be back on Monday.) Maybe if Fetzen and I both joined, it would revive?

Edit: It's back! Ok, I'll join as soon as I have a character sheet.
