Awesome!
Anyhow, sorry for the delay, I should be able to get the char sheet up later today or tomorrow




“Oh no haha, please don't touch those,” quickly yet awkwardly, Xavius moved from behind the small counter where he was currently discussing bouquets for Valentine's day with a mother, her small child standing next to her, until he wasn't of course, as he had started pulling petals off of some of the flowers that sat next to the entryway and tossing them to the ground, which, to be frank, he made sure to keep well swept. He disliked messy things, and that included children, for in fact, they are messy things. And to be honest, they kind of scared him; first of all: They were unpredictable, a trait he found undesirable and confusing. Second: They almost never listened and could be really cruel at times, but could get away with it because they were small and “innocent”. And third: Children were once again, horrifyingly messy. Maybe he was just over analyzing, but it was reasonable. To him anyway. Plants were better.

The familiar panicky feeling rose up in his chest once more as he tried to gently swat away the grubby hands of the child from tearing apart his flowers. That's another thing about kids: They were destructive. Like bulldozers from Hell, or something. God, he really didn't want to touch this child. Thankfully, the kid's mother rushed over and gently pulled her kid away, essentially saving him from the uncomfortable situation. Giving an embarrassed smile, the mother lowered her head a little, apologizing for her son, who didn't look nearly as apologetic. “I am SO sorry. I- he just kinda does what he wants, I should have kept a better eye on him, I'm very sorry. Is there anything I can do? Can I pay for it?”

“Oh no, don't even worry about it. It's so small, I can't even notice that he even did anything, it would be rude of me to make you pay,” but in truth, almost half of the flower was destroyed. “We all know how children can be; they make small mistakes that can be forgiven, yes?” but oh how he wanted to say some other things such as: Well maybe you could glue the petals back on? I dunno, just an idea, or We all know how children can be: Demonic, yes? But she was a customer and that would be rude.

“Thank you so much, and again, I'm sorry, I would've left him at home, but there was no one to watch him,” she explained.

“It's fine, it's fine, I totally understand. I mean, I was once that kid, my mother had to take me everywhere,” Xavius chuckled, walking back to the front counter, grabbing a small card from a stack and bringing it back to her. ”Anyway, here's my business card, and when you have an idea on what you want, just give me a call and I'll have it ready asap. It has my email and business phone number right at the bottom,” he gave a polite smile, folding his hands. In some ways he could relate to the kid, not meaning that he had the mind of a six year old, but the position he was in. He was almost tempted to give advice to the woman about raising him, assuming that she was a single mother, but he stopped himself as she just smiled and nodded at him, walking out the door, the little bell ringing above the door as they went through.

Watching them leave, as soon as they were out of sight, Xavius sighed and relaxed a little, the tension in his body leaving. Usually he loved to be around people, but interactions like this drained him physically and mentally. Luckily, it was near closing time, so he took off his apron and hung it up, double checked all of his plants to make sure they were fine, and straightened things up before turning off the lights and leaving, locking the door and turning the sign over to say “closed”.

It was hard to drive around this time of year, considering the festival was happening, so instead he walked back to the apartment, Redwood. The festival was actually quite interesting, especially since this would be his first time seeing it, and he admired all of the planning that went into it. Some would say this would be the golden opportunity to have his business open since all of the people would be here, but to be honest, he just wanted to take everything in and enjoy the activities, especially the wishing thing he heard about, he really wanted to do that one. Or maybe the play, that one sounded fun. He was a sucker for a play.

A few conversations later, while trying to avoid large crowds but failing, Xavius had finally managed to make it home, waving to a few people he had stopped to talk to as he walked in, heading straight to his room to clean himself up, getting ready for the rooftop party thing that was happening, which he had been pretty excited for all day, though “getting ready” was basically just chilling for a little bit before leaving again. ”Alright, well I'm leaving again I guess. I'll see you guys at the party hopefully. I don't want to be there alone,” he added the last part in quietly, opening the door and stepping through.”Ok, well. I'm off I suppose.” He didn't actually know whether his roommates were there or not, he didn't really check, though he hoped they were there, it'd be kind of sad if it were just him.

"Oh don't worry hon, it's definitely mutual," Kejirah shrugged, smirking at Damien and his impatient ass, repositioning herself on the couch to make herself more comfortable, spreading out further as more people made their way into the living room, and in her opinion, rudely demanding to get a move on and leave. She wasn't one for waiting, but being ordered to do something that she was going to do in the first place, whether it was directly said or not, well...it made her just a smidge irritated, but she guessed she could let it slide. For now anyway. But as of now, sugar loaded coffee that could probably severely unbalance her blood sugar levels sounded like an amazing idea because she was a dangerous girl, and dangerous girls do dangerous things, also because it was summer and she honestly didn't give a fuck. Honestly.

Though as soon as Aria and Aulora brought up their mode of transportation, Kejirah quickly stood up and made a dramatic gasping noise, placing a hand on her hip. "I'm actually kind of offended! Like, of course I'm driving, I mean, who else is better suited than me, a responsible, law abiding citizen who obviously drives one mile under the speed limit and not anything above that? Can't think of anyone? Didn't think so. SO, on that note, lemme go grab my keys," the young woman said before quickly walking back to her room, feeling around on her bed for the familiar object as she had to toss up a few pillows before finding them. "FOUND 'EM," she hollered to the group, and while on her way out, she managed to catch something about a party Bradley was going to throw.

Poking her head around the corner just in time, she asked, "Hmm, a party? Attractive women? Count me in, I'm down. And you said it was tonight? Bet. Now I've got somethin' to look forward to." Sitting on the arm of the couch this time, she held up her keys and smiled.

"Y'all bitches ready to go to Starbucks? Oh, and don't disrespect Satan, he's a God, remember that, 'cause he will."

@Sewer Rat Nah, it's totally fine👌
Awesome! I can get the character sheet up soon-ish, probably a little later today

Warning: May contain dark themes



¿Where Are We¿



Welcome to Riverway

An old roadside sign says as you drive slowly by, passing through a small, isolate town nearly in the middle of nowhere in direction of the cabin you and a few others were staying in. The flyer definitely made it look more appealing. This town was nearly empty, it probably wasn't but it sure seemed that way; only a few straggling faces here and there, curiously looking your way as the car drove by, their heads turning as their eyes followed the car. Its buildings were worn down, and not to mention the condition of the roads, which were seriously haphazardous, someone could get hurt, but this was Spring Break, and honestly, getting away from society sounded nice. The cabin, as you had found out earlier, was miles out of town, surrounded by a thick pine forest and a misty cover that hopefully cleared out soon, but other than the creepy, perfect-scene-for-a-horror-movie town and the forest that only enhanced that feel, it was perfect for a getaway with friends. Isolated. No authorities. Freedom. Trouble was definitely bound to stir up. But it was perfect.






A tiny, mysterious town with few, but odd residents, Riverway is home to the infamous Pine Forest, eerie is just one word to describe it, though fascinating. Mist covers the forest floor during a large portion of the year, but sometimes, on rare occasions, it does clear out, revealing a large and beautiful lake that glistens under the sun; tall and ancient pine trees, some of them containing hearts with the initials of past lovers carved in them, serving as memories to the residents; and the town certainly brightens up as the local diner is much more lively and known for its to die for food.

But like the mist that hangs around, the mysterious town is shrouded in rumors, whispers, and conspiracies. There are more than a few abandoned buildings with the phrase “Bring Them Back” graffitied in large letters all around the town with small piles of dead flower bouquets under them. Posters and flyers scattered around on boards through the area talk about alien sightings and masked murderers, and old news articles mentioning disappearances of random tourists and other nameless people. Riverway definitely has a dark history that only few know about, and perhaps it's better that way.

And not only that, to those few who've been here for some time know that the forest seems to have a mind of its own. The isolation and the stillness of life around it causes a sense of paranoia over time, making people see and hear things that aren't there, and slowly tearing down the mind's emotional defenses leading to fight or flight responses and mental breakdowns. Common sense, trust, and realistic thinking slowly dissipate as tension heightens in a seemingly exponential manner. Or so it is rumored. But hey, it's Spring Break bitches.

Nobody...
