Yeah, it is. A good thing for me though, gave me a chance to catch up.
Lucas nodded as Holden walked off, clearly absorbed in his own thoughts. No point to this he supposed. It was a job for Jason, the only connection most of them had in this place. As if on cue, their host himself came through the door followed a new arrival. He listened to Jason make the usual remarks about the place, introductions around, waved as his name was called.
His thoughts turned to the girl upstairs when Jason called up to her. They hadn't really crossed paths since arriving, but from he'd seen of her she wasn't bad on the eyes. Nice long hair, good body. She just seemed really distant. She'd look good if she just smiled. Then again, he remembered his own sister who herself just was reserved with most people but a great person. Time would tell. He was sure she'd make a good friend. After all, he was starting at zero in a new city.
"Well maybe zero isn't quite the appropriate term," he thought looking at the apartment that was far above any luxury he could have imagined living in when he was growing up. Jason joked about his time at the pool as he walked past him. "Hey man, I was at the pool to chill for a bit, the ladies came to see me." The last of the group arrived a few moments later. Another of Jason's college buddies. Their trio was complete. And two more young women, a lot friendlier than Anna he couldn't help but notice.
Jason then gathered them around and introduced them one by one. It was good to see everyone in one place. He was used to a lot of people in one living arrangement, though not usually in as big a place as this. It'd be fun. A nice return to his noisy childhood. His ears picked up at the sounnd of the words "bonfire" and "beach." "Can't wait to go!" he said in reply. As everyone started to mingle he noticed the guy who'd come in with Jason, Roberto, hanging out by the window by himself. Picking up his lemonade once more he made his way over. "What's up, Roberto. I'm Lucas, in case you missed it. How's the view?" he asked, just opening it up for conversation.

I'll take you up on that offer... when I can. School is ridiculous right now. Everything came down at once. I'll try and get something posted within the next 24 hours. I apologize in advance if I don't, cause that likely means I won't post until Saturday. Either way, I like that we're all getting to interact now. Can't wait to really get going
Yes, the crew is slowly coming together. Gonna be some good times
Lucas was thankful for the sunglasses. The sun reflected off of the shiny aviators as he reclined on the pool chair. He watched as two of his neighbors walked past. The two girls five doors down from his, living off their parents' money no doubt, chatted with one another as they looked for a good spot to lay out and tan. Though Sandra, the taller full-figured brunette, had initially drawn his eye upon moving in, he hadn't quite conquered that mountain yet. Janine, the green-eyed blonde, however he'd gotten to know really well a few days ago. Fighting to suppress a smirk, Lucas pulled his attention from the passing female forms in bikinis back to the book in front of him. He loved Miami.
He couldn't thank Jason, an old friend from elementary school, enough for the opportunity. Ever since they'd become friends, Jason had been supporting him in everything. Though it wasn't often that Lucas doubted his direction in life, Jason was the first one outside of his family who he could talk to. Though they'd had less contact with each other ever since they went to separate colleges, they always made some time to catch up. Now there was this. The best act of friendship. Though it was a little bit difficult fitting in with the rest of Jason's college crew at first, he was starting to find his place. He had set up as a freelance writer for now, until he could find a more permanent institution to work for. He has just finished up his first proposal today, ready to be delivered to the grantor in person the next day. In order to relax before the appearance, he'd given himself the rest of the day off at the pool.
He checked his phone, noting that it was about the time for everyone to get home. He closed his book and stood up, drops of water form his still wet shorts falling onto the concrete. He pulled his blue tank back over his head and slipped his flip flops back onto his feet. Tossing his towel over his shoulder, he began walking towards the gate, past the girls reclining. He gave them a smile and quick greeting, pleased to get a smile in return.
The sound of his flip flops slapping the floor echoed as he approached the door to the apartment. He walked through the already open door to find Holden leaning against the counter with an open bottle next to him.
"Uh everything all right, man?" he asked, not sure what to make of this. He walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a pitcher of lemonade. He walked over the counter and poured himself a glass. Not expecting to get an answer from Holden just then he just continued, "We getting started early today then?" He laughed a bit and took a drink from his cup.

Awesome. I'll probably be making a few changes in the history, just to fit Lucas personality better. All the facts will stay the same though.
Here we go. I wasn't too sure about the relation to friends section. I figured we could discuss that part and edit it as more people came along
Name: Lucas Adler
Age: 27
Appearance:
Job: Grant writer
Relation to friends: Old friend of Jason
Bio: We weren't poor, but we had to make do with less than a lot of my friends. My dad was a good, hard-working guy, and my mom did her best to take care of us five children. We were a rowdy bunch and we really tried her patience. They raised us well, though. My dad firmly believed that the world is anyone's for the taking. You just need the know-how and the sheer effort.
Around the time I was 12, my mom's sister and her daughter moved in with us, escaping an abusive home. So, my dad was supporting a few more people. It was no big deal, but we did start to feel the strain. A few more hand-me-downs here and there, our meals were a little more basic. We were okay though.
I got along well growing up. My grades were good despite the trouble I managed to find every now and then. Nothing serious, just usual rebellious teen type stuff. Really the biggest distraction to my studies were the girls. I broke more than my fair share of hearts and made a few enemies, but it wasn't something I could really help. I also spent a lot of my time at school writing. I loved to write. It just thrilled me to be able to express thoughts for others to read.
I graduated and went to a pretty good college. Nothing really amazing, but an exceptional English department. It was the perfect major for me, interesting and leaving me with enough time to really take part in extracurricular activities. I then went back home and got a job in grant writing. It's a decent job that keeps me alive. Eventually, I got a call from an old friend asking if I wanted to move to Miami. I couldn't get here fast enough.
Personality: Lucas is a confident guy. He's worked to give himself a satisfying life and feels he can accomplish anything. He's rather charming, and people generally like him even if he is a bit cocky. He tends to get around and has set a few against him that way but he's on good terms with just about everyone.He has a simple sense of humor and loves to laugh, even at the most stupid of jokes.
Relationship?: Now where's the fun in holding yourself down
Other: Decided to never drink out of empathy for his aunt and cousin's abuse at the hand of an alcoholic. He doesn't care other people do though. He just chooses not to.
He loves sports and dancing.
Working on a book.

Still interested myself. I'm working on a character
I'm down
Figured I'd pop in again. I've been busy so I didn't post, but I am interested and have been following the conversation.
I'm the guy who mentioned the potions bartender. I put some thought into it and realized even in that sort of setting alcohol would still be the primary "elixir" being served. The potions I guess would come into side effects of drinks, which I suppose is what you meant in your initial response to the idea. Either way, a character has been taking shape in my mind, though I'm having trouble deciding on what to have him do outside that job.
