Richard heard a familiar voice from behind him and looked to see who it was, and it was none other than Rayne, the person who brought him here in the first place. He smiled brightly at him and after the brief hug they shared Richard went on to answer the question asked of him. "Well I've been doing well today, I just got here in that junker over there." He points to his car that still was sitting in front of the house. "It's not much but it gets the job done. Also I just want to thank you so much for the invitation, without it I would have been cooped up at home having to talk with people I haven't talked to since last summer, and there's a reason I haven't talked to them since last summer." He said with a goofy smile as he realized another yellow cab pulling up.

The woman who walked towards them seemed familiar to Richard, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why she thought she was. However he saw a cat and that made his attention shift, cats were his favourite animal and the addition of one to this specific setting could make the summer even better than he had previously thought it out to be. The woman introduced herself as Calliope, Richard thought it was a nice sounding name, had a certain regal quality to it. "I'm Richard, but most people just call me Rich." He said with a smile and a nod in her direction before he heard the door open.

At first Richard assumed that this must have been another guest that had gotten there before everyone else, but as it turned out this was actually the Diana from the email. He was different than expected, for one thing his gender was different than originally thought, but Richard just thought of it as some Evil Dead thing where the guy has a typical girl name but probably goes by some short-form in order to deal with people thinking weirdly of them. Richard decided not to let it be known that he thought the host was of a different gender than originally thought, that's probably not good for first impressions on people. "Rich Masters here, one of Rayne's many plus ones." He said after Diana introduced himself to the small crowd outside.

Soon came another yellow cab, this one carrying a really built guy. Richard couldn't help but feel a little inadequate when he saw this guy, he was so fit he had to be some kind of football player or weightlifter or like a soldier or something. The man introduced himself as P-J, yet another one of Rayne's guests. Then was another really built guy, this one named Tyson who also came in a yellow cab and who also seemed to Rayne very well. Richard could only think of how many people Rayne must know, he saw the email addresses attached to the invitation but he didn't expect all these people to know him as well as they all seem to.

As he pondered yet another yellow cab dropped someone off. This made Richard feel like he didn't make the best choice taking his own car, was it just that the train was sponsored or was there some other reason everyone decided to take that. He dropped the idea, taking notice of the new person that had just arrived, who was yet another person that Rayne knew really well. However the new person also seemed to know Calliope, which was a bit of a welcome change. This did however make Richard realize that he knew basically no one here other than the on that had invited him, all the more reason why this is a great getaway for him. He once again decided to introduce himself to the people that had shown up since his last introduction. "Hey, in case I didn't already tell you or whatever, I'm Rich." He said with a grin.

What Are You Listening To?

I've never listened to Aesop Rock before but I had heard good things so I just picked a album at random and decided to listen to that. And holy shit is he good. He's really verbose for rapping, using words that you wouldn't usually find in rap music and it is great and works really well with his flow (Which is also great). The production is also pretty interesting and works well with his vocals. If you're into rap and want something a little different listen to this album.

I just posted my intro, I hope everything's all okay with it.

"I'm not makin' out with yoooooou! Even though I think your cuuuute!" Richard sang along loudly as he drove his car towards his destination. He tapped his hands against the steering wheel to the beat of the drum and nodded his head to the beat. The car was an early 2000s sedan that had obviously been through a lot. There were dents and chipped paint just littered on the body of the vehicle. It was loud when it drove by, no doubt because of the messed up muffler. Even though the car was a piece of crap, Richard didn't care, it was the only car he could really afford and in all honesty he had kind of gotten used to it's constant problems. The back of the car was piled with both junk and supplies for his time at the cabin. There was a duffel bag filled with clothes that had obviously just been shoved in there without being folded. There was also a blanket and a pillow in the back because he was pretty sure he was going to be sleeping on the couch or the floor judging by the amount of CCs there were in the email he got inviting him out. There was a couple of guitar cases, one was a Epiphone G-400 Vintage SG which was placed in the passengers seat with an accompanying amp placed on the floor (However it was a smaller amp than the one's he was used to) as well as a cheap Gibson acoustic guitar placed in the back. He wasn't exactly sure why he brought all that to this "cabin" as he knew it wasn't like he had to study up on his guitar, but if he could get some practice here and there before going back to school it would be all okay.

Truth be told he wasn't expecting to make it out of his hometown this summer. As much as he loved spending time with his family and friends there's only so much of that he could actually take before he got absolutely exhausted with it all. So when he got an email from an acquaintance of his to go to a maxed out cabin with some other people, how could he refuse? The email said that there would have been a train ride provided as well as taxi service but Richard felt like it would be better just to drive it. It wasn't TOO far from his hometown and he could sing along to whatever he wanted in his own car without thinking about how bad other people would want him to stop in a train or even a taxi. He just hoped that maybe he could get the gas money reimbursed because he provided his own transportation

He turned down the street that the house was on and noticed how big all the other places around here were, a lot different than in the city with all the tightly packed apartments and storefronts. Whilst looking at all the houses he finally noticed the one he was supposed to be heading for and he turned into the driveway, the car coming to a screeching halt outside the home. He made a mental note to himself to get new brake pads as he turned off the music, stepped out of the car, and stretched out. He was wearing a J Mascis t-shirt with tight dark denim jeans and sunglasses with blue frames. He brushed his hand through his hair and walked towards the door, knowing only that he was supposed to meet someone, possibly a girl, by the name of Diana. He noticed that someone had already arrived there and was waiting to get in, Richard assumed she had already used the doorbell or knocked on the door so he went up and stood behind her. "Hey" He said with a smile on his face as he waited to be let in.

Alright, I'll have my reply up in a few hours, have to wait around after school for a while.

Starlight

Alright, I've reread the original post and understand it, I'll probably need to discuss some background info on relationships. What I'm thinking is more that Rayne and Rich are acquaintances, they know each other but they're not exactly all that close with each other. Other than that I'm not 100% sure about other details.

I always try to think of a character's particular taste in music when making them, because I feel that tastes can say a lot about someone. Richard would probably be into skater/surf rock like Wavves and FIDLAR, as well as slacker rock like Mac DeMarco and Pavement. I actually made a playlist that he would probably listen to here

Name: Richard "Rich" Masters
Age: 19
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 135
Sex: Male
Gender: Male Identifying
Orientation: Homosexual
Handedness: Right
Appearance: A bit lanky as he is underweight for his age. He's almost never seen without sunglasses on and he's usually wearing some kind of band or media related t-shirt.
General Personality: Layed back and relaxed mostly. What a lot of people would describe as having the personality of a stoner, even if he does not do any drugs. It's not like he could afford a drug habit anyway, being a music major doesn't really facilitate a lot of steady income.

Hope this is alright and I didn't leave anything out.

Awesome, I'll do my sheet tomorrow because it's 2 in the morning here but I assure you it'll be up.

What Are You Listening To?

I still haven't listened to all of The Seer and I really feel like I should (It's just really long). I've never really gotten into Swans but everything I've heard from them has been really good so I have been meaning to get into it. Someday... Someday...
