@Lady Amalthea Edited it in. I realized goofy would be a positive trait, so I shifted his overprotective trait into negative to keep them balanced. I hope this was okay--can edit if needed! ^^
@Lady Amalthea Here's his edited personality section:



@Lady Amalthea For Jack, could I make the following changes...
-Change his relationship status to Engaged (or should I just put him down as Married already?)
-Personality wise, I'd like to swap out his trait of "Clingy" for "Goofy." Probably add a paragraph detailing that as well.
-Under fears, could I add losing Tatiana?
-For theme song, I'm thinking Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran fits better for him now.


Nora Kingston

Location: Garden City - Maratos Building at No.6 Walda Pasha


Her remarks appeared to have silenced the clerk. She stood at the window still, lost in her own thoughts, with the sirens and alarms serving as a most charming backdrop. The events of that day had been so strange as to make Nora ponder whether or not she had dreamt them. Glancing down at her hand, however, her finger was still marred with the strange brand. It had been all too real, decidedly so. She took in another soft drag of her cigarette, only coming out of her train of thought when the door to the Maratos building opened. In stepped a pair of guards, who presently set themselves about questioning the night clerk.

"Miss Eleanor Kingston," Nora replied quietly, once the guards had come to interrogate her. They had asked for her name, forgoing any question of station, which irked Nora ever so slightly. Even women of wealth might have an occupation, a fact that she desired to be understood. Yet there was not much she felt inclined to do about it. Better to withdraw to herself and act as she saw fit--the opinions of the world did not matter.

"There is no convict to be found here," Nora replied. "I did not glimpse any such person within my rooms or within the building itself."




Location: Crypt Townhouse; near the Strand, London


The carriage deposited Virginia at the Crypt Townhouse, a dear family home that had also been the place of her birth. Virginia smiled wistfully as she stepped down from the carriage, and a second before she reached the front door, it opened for her. Alfred nodded at her, and she replied with a nod in turn, stepping inside the dwelling, and within the next moment, the door shut behind her with a soft click.

However, it wasn't long before she spotted a pair of mischievous eyes from the top of the staircase. James, her youngest and only brother, came sliding down the bannister, taking a little bow as he joined Alfred and Virginia at the bottom. He was dressed in a loose white cotton shirt and beige trousers, with a foil grasped in his hand. "Has Alfred been instructing you in the noble art of fencing, James?" Virginia asked, smirking ever so slightly.

"He's got his father's blood in him, my lady," Alfred responded, as James stabbed at the air clumsily. "He'll be a right 'n proper swordsman, just you see." There was a bit of a twinkle in the elderly man's eye. It was no great secret that Alfred considered himself to be a father of sorts to Virginia and James. But at the same time, with the mention of Lord Dywell, the air took a certain heaviness to it.

"Is father coming back?" James asked, ceasing with his antics for a moment. Virginia braced herself, and then sat herself next to James on the stairs. "Of course he shall. Do not forget, dear James, our family creed: we will survive! Poison us, strangle us, break our bones and we will come back for more." She ruffled his hair gently, and James perked up, resuming his antics. Virginia ducked slightly to avoid the tip of his sword, and then rose to her feet.

"Now you are to remain here with Alfred tonight," Virginia instructed. "The Soulless are at hand and you are too young to face them, James." The boy pouted, and Virginia chuckled ever so slightly. "Soon, I shall send for you to be trained--but tonight, enjoy a reprieve from the disgusting events of the Season. And I shall tell you all of the tragedy that will occur tonight, I promise."

Being a Crypt, those words had their intended impact--James cheered up significantly. Alfred, however, frowned grimly at Virginia. He was not as enchanted by the afterlife as she. "Do be careful, my lady," Alfred asked. And Virginia nodded, smiling at him coyly. "Whenever am I not, dear Alfred?"
@Lady Amalthea Yeah I've chugged some day quill ^^ feeling loads better today
@Lady Amalthea I'll get a post up today! Sorry for the delay, I came down with a bad fever yesterday.


Jack Hudson

Location: Newnan Building E - Apartment E2


Jack almost slapped himself for forgetting. The stress of the wedding day was making him foolish almost, and he blushed a bit in embarrassment. Nodding at everyone as they left the apartment, Jack returned to Miss Sally's bathroom, and carefully disrobed himself.

"Thank god for heatahs," Jack muttered, as he put back on his normal clothes. For a moment, he almost left the apartment to head home and shave--but his most important duty was to avoid Tatiana. Superstitions were subscribed to even more fiercely in the apocalypse. With Miss Sally gone, he figured she wouldn't mind if he shaved in her bathroom. He pulled out his disposable razor from his pocket, and lathered up his face, looking at himself in the mirror for a moment.

Ho don't do it, his expression seemed to say, as he started to shave. The last thing he needed would be shaving cuts on his wedding day. And what the hell was going on that Ash needed everyone in Newnan for?

Beatrice Decker

Location: Outer Wall


Having taken her position on the wall, Beatrice quietly observed the various interactions around her. The kid, stronger than he looked, had tucked Peaches into his jacket. It took her a moment to realize it was Ryan's, and she couldn't help but muse as to how he'd react to dog fur in his jacket. She couldn't quite remember if he loved dogs or hated them--but she figured it'd be one extreme or the other.

However, the idle chitchat was only so interesting to listen to. Most people were speculating about why Franklin and Newnan were divided, after months of living as a mostly cohesive unit. Wedding business seemed to be the most likely cause to her, with certain exceptions. The best man belonged to Franklin, but the groom and bride-to-be were Newnanites. She almost snorted at the thought of a wedding, with Franklin sitting on one side of the aisle, and Newnan sitting on the other.

But she didn't buy into that explanation. Security shifts had been rotated because of whatever news Ashton had for Newnan. There seemed to be no indication that Franklin would receive the same news as well. Otherwise, why not just broadcast the news? Why the secrecy? Whatever it was, Beatrice doubted it was anything particularly pleasant.

"Maybe someone died," Beatrice suggested with a bit of a shrug, before abandoning her train of thought entirely.


Chloe Ridgeway

Location: Outer Wall


Although she was still mentally snickering at Ryan's antics, Chloe nodded at Riley's request. The violin was fairly calming to play, and it had been years since she'd gotten her hands on one. She figured she might even be able to play something with a bit of a beat to it, something in line with Riley's usual style of music. "Yeah, find me a violin and I'll help," Chloe replied.

She mimicked a little bit of an air violin, stopping once they made their way to the wall. Continuing to enjoy the simple bliss of her cigarette, she tried her best to stand so that way the smoke wouldn't blow in Ciel's face. The kid didn't need secondhand smoke and asthma--and Froggy'd never trust her at all, she expected, if she made a medical condition worsen. Sometimes she was surprised he hadn't convinced Tatiana to put her through drug counseling.

Chloe noticed the way Riley trembled at the dog, as well. It probably didn't help that Riley had given Amelia her jacket, her symbolic barrier from the ever so ferocious canine. Shrugging off her flannel, Chloe handed it to Riley. "Can't have you getting sick on me," Chloe teased, a twinkle in her eye. She could deal with the cold--she'd dealt with worse before.

But unlike Beatrice, Chloe didn't have such a negative outlook on the news. It almost surprised herself, but Chloe figured it was just something to do with the wedding. Just a ruse to get something done without the bride and groom noticing, make it look like some security concern. Rules and norms had already been bent and eased up on for the wedding anyways. "Probably just wedding shit. Group gift maybe."
