Don looks good, feel free to update him if you feel he's incomplete/not up to par- but I think he looks fine. Also thanks for spreading the word :) Hopefully can get the spots filled. If not by the end of the week; I'll make the remaining into NPCS that we can all play with or as Clever mentioned; people can fill in later.

@Cleverbird

Understandable my friend :) We'll catch you around!

Hey there! Yes, it's an image.
I use 1001fonts.com- then you can choose color, font, size and when you right click on it; you say "copy image address" which will give you a url to paste between image tags as such: [img]image address goes here[/img] that will give you things like the fancy headers:



Let me know if you need any more help :) Happy to do so

A sharp intake of air inhaled from Helen’s lips as she gasped for breath.

Ms. Deville had fallen asleep on the rocking chair out on the front porch again and often was found there snoring away. It was always an act of wonder how elderly people could be one minute having a conversation and the next minute be fast asleep. She reached for her iced tea on the small table and took small sips. The ice had melted away quickly in the 90 degree weather.

"Valerie!" Helen called out once and then again with no reply. She had forgotten that she had sent her out to go fetch some last minute items for the feast the two had prepared. Most of the things were finger foods; cucumber sandwiches, crackers, cheeses, and various fruit and vegetable trays. The main course for lunch was a Spanish dish Val had worked all morning making.

Getting up slowly, Helen walked around to the side yard where Val had set up a long table with chairs. She had set the table to Ms. Deville’s instructions perfectly, and she would have to thank her once she returned home. Checking the small watch upon her wrist she noticed that she had a little less than an hour before the guests were to arrive. Each of them had rsvp’d so quickly when the invitations were sent out. Helen however, wondered if they had really wanted to see her or if they had just felt sorry that she did not have too much time left. They hadn’t really kept in touch beside that, besides Val that was.

Climbing the back steps slowly, Helen went into the kitchen to discover quite the mess on the floor. A trail of a deep crimson, chunky, liquid spread across from the top of the counter, down the cabinet, and across the hardwood floor and into a heating grate against the wall. Helen ran her bony finger along the substance on the marble top, and brought it to her lips. Sniffing, she realized it was in fact a salsa. "Val must have not fed Jack this morning, she's been so busy afterall." Helen thought to herself, and she took a dish rag and began cleaning up the mess that Jack had made. "You know.." she said out loud, "You don’t have to make a mess every time. I told Valerie to feed you and I always sneak you sweets. I hate messes Jack, stop making messes!" The woman was exhausted just cleaning up the salsa. She took wheezed breaths, as she leaned against the counter top. To the unknowing spectator, Helen would probably have seemed just whispering nonsense.

Dark eyes peered at the ankles of Helen, gobbling down the handful of salsa. Jack’s tongue rolled around his fingers, the tangy spice delicious upon his taste buds. Valerie had meant well, but she often did forget about Jack in the midst of her intense care towards Helen. Scrambling and scurrying along the insides of the wall, Jack made his way into his once previous bedroom, the basement.

Long ago, in a kingdom far far away. (Fantasy appcalypse, more details to come.)

"Well, how does it taste?"

"I haven't tasted it yet!"

"Hurry up little sister! I don't have all damn day."

Torc rolled her eyes as she threw her head back in dramatics. Her brother had her trying tons of his made up recipes, some better than others. Today was roasted bog rat. The secret was that you used the wet muddy ground water that the creature bred in to also cook it. Torc took a hearty bite of the meaty side of the rodent as she chewed. The small bones were melting in her mouth as she savored the taste. Her lips pulled to the side as she thought. Her eyes glistened as she began to spoke, "It's not terrible." a heavy laugh bellowed from her tummy as she took another bite. It was delicious, Forc had truly mastered his craft.

"I hate you Torc, you joke around too much."

He pushed her as the two began pushing, pinching, and kicking one another around the open flame.

"What are you two doing?"

A stern and heavy voice that was clearly their father's brought Forc to an instant stop as Torc laid one more heavy punch on her brother before turning to her father. His heavy brow was even heavier on his eyelids as he crossed his arms against his chest. "I repeat myself, once more. What are you two doing?" Torc began to speak to tell their father that the two were just messing around but Forc spoke loudly, his tone changing completely. That of a warrior and not as a playful older brother with a love for cooking. "It is my fault father. I was having Torc try my new creation, it's something I think you will enjoy Fath-" Quickly the leader of the family interrupted, his large green hand up out in front of him. Signaling for them both to remain absolutely quiet.

"We have been having outsiders come and kill your brothers in arms, and you have been wasting your time prancing around the kitchen like a cockroach? I can expect this from your sister, as it is her duty to keep us fed, but you? You are my son. This is not for you. You are a warrior!" He slammed his hand down, sending the cooked food into the dirt below them. The two siblings remained silent, staring up at their father in a mixture of respect and fear. He turned and walked away, there was nothing more to be said about the situation.

When their father was out of ear reach, Torc turned to her brother, "I'm sorry, I didn't me-" Forc grunted in an outburt, "Yeah you didn't mean anything! You never do, You'll never even understand what it's like. You're lucky you were born a girl, you have it so easy. You just lay on your back and get on your knees when you're told." Forc stopped, his demeanor changing as he looked to his youngest sibling and only sister. "I'm the one who is sorry now my lovely sister, I didn't mean what I said. It is just frustrating." Torc nodded, she felt like crying but kept her upper lip stiff as she was embraced by her older brother.

"Make it up to me, and go to the bog and get me some more of those rats, and I'll make it up to you by cooking them."

Torc rolled her eyes once again, "That doesn't sound like a great deal to me." Torc admitted as her brother looked at her. "Go." he said, stern in his tone but gentle in his smile. She shrugged it off and turned, leaving away from her small village.

The last time she would see her brother alive.

It had been awhile since this memory had played in her head, and what she wouldn't do to have a bite of that rat right now Torc thought as she scrounged around the town with other children, though death was quite common in Orc culture it never got any easier to see the entrails of a woman spread across her back step. Torc went to open the door as a large crash came from inside, startled at first, but brave and true Torc opened the back door to the small house to explore the noise inside.

Gianna shook her hand in front of her in response to Duncan's offer. "No, no Dunk it's fine! Thanks." she chuckled. She could handle her two bags just fine, but she appreciated the offer. Gianna snapped a quick photo of the group (including Jake) as they talked among themselves. She didn't want to spend her entire snapping photos, but she surely wanted to get a few to remember the trip by. Involving herself in each conversation she giggled here and there, making it known that she was listening but not really adding in anything to the conversation. She looked over to Vera several times for reassurance to questions asked. If Vera said yes, it was usual that Gianna would be close behind with the same responses.

Gun shots erupted through the forest as Gianna's petite body tensed up. Her gaze shooting towards where it sounded like the blasts came from. It stopped Samuel in the midst of speaking, so the campsite was eerily quiet for a second. Gia placed her hand on the top of Jake's head, giving it a gentle and reassuring pat. Her own family dog was very anxious and any loud noise caused the dog to run and hide under her bed, so the dog's steadiness was impressive. Gianna's thoughts traveled back to the gun shots, she knew that people liked to hunt and in some places they even liked to shoot guns for fun- it was surely one of the two.

Samuel gave his suggestions and Gia of coursed looked to Vera as she answered, before speaking up herself- "Fishing does sound fun, maybe even swimming too? But it'll be a good idea to get our tents and the fire set up before nightfall." she gave a gentle and encouraging smile to the boy. Samuel had always been a nice boy Gia thought to herself in the moment. The two had been in the same grade and known one another for quite awhile, their parents interacting on more than one occasion during extra-curricular activities. Adjusting her backpack on her back slightly, she waited until further direction from him as to where they should get started on the tents.
