Hawthorne Family

H A W T H O R N E
H A W T H O R N E

"We may be a different kind of family than most, and we have gone through some trouble, but we are here for each other no matter what.

_{[ ❇ ] B R I E F F A M I L Y H I S T O R Y}

The Hawthorne family has been in the town for five years now but has mostly kept to themselves. Though Lara and her brother Zach tend to be more active than their stepfather Grayson or as he likes to be called, Gray. Before being a family, the siblings and Gray had their ups and downs in life before meeting and Gray taking the troubled pair in. They have been together ever since and are a tight-knit family, Gray seeing a second chance at having a stable family and the siblings having a good parent in their lives. It was Gray's idea to move to a quiet, small town, and he figured that would be a good place for the pair to grow up after all that stress in their lives. An idea that the twins agreed to try out and so far have not regretted it.

Grayson would end up meeting his future wife while with the army and would leave the army in order to marry her and have a family together. They would end up with two kids. However, this would not last, and after problems and fights, Grayson would end up divorced. Though he was still able to see his kids. For years, he lived on his own, just getting by. One day, he came across a pair of runaway children. They told him their story and he let them stay at his place. When child services became involved and found that the children needed a new home and had no other relatives. Grayson offered to take the two in and after some talk with child services and the two children. It was agreed, and the three have been together ever since. It was Grayson's idea to move to a quiet, small town to help his new children grow safe and sound. Huddeen was a choice that he would not regret moving to so far. All he wants to do is make sure they grow up well and can handle themselves once they are ready to be on their own. But, before then, try and be a better parent and keep the family together than repeat what happened with his first family. ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ ▅ Use as many or few of the above symbols as needed to balance this cell with the cell containing the image.

Just a bump since I know at least one person here is still interested in the rp.

AZUL Islands - Drama, Romance, Mystery, Slice of Life

Andrés Moruga

"The cafe is my mother's pride and joy, so I am glad you like the coffee." He chuckled, he knows the coffee there was good, but it was nice to hear good things about it. Do not mention it, it is always nice to talk to someone new and show them around," he said.

He followed Kat and joined her at a smaller spot that did not have many tourists. "That is the thing about Azul Days, Kat. It is one of the few times we get to celebrate and have fun as a community. I do not know, but everyone just lets out their party person and has fun. I do not know how to describe it, but it always leaves tourists or newcomers to the Isles surprised, so I can understand why you feel that way." Andrés spoke in a kinder tone, and now that he had thought about it, He had never really spoken to a newcomer to the Isles before, not really. But so far, things are going well with Kat, and he wants it to stay that way.

When Kat showed off her tattoos, Andrés looked at them curiously and spoke up. "Nice tattoos, and can I ask how many you and why you hot them? Just curious, is all, and you will find that not many people here have tattoos, including myself. Though... I have thought once or twice about getting one, and you can blame wanting to piss off my old man for that one."

Andrés listened intently to Kat about her being treated like a treasure hunter. His tone was now sounding sympathetic."I can understand that one, the people here are protective of the blue diamonds, and there is no shortage of people wanting to harvest them for their own interests. But as long as you stay true to your mission here, then I feel like you should be fine." He gave a reassuring smile and spoke in a friendly tone. The amount of foreigners that want to discover and take the Isles's blue diamonds is not a short list, but the people always make it hard for them. So it is nice to find one foreign that is not out for the blue diamonds and is here for honest work. If only more foreigners were more like her. He did accept her apology but said that it is good to release some steam from time to time.

Andrés took the time to finish his drink and was glad it was as good as he remembered it. Another thing he enjoyed before leaving the Isles for the mainland and it seems like some things never change.

When Kat wanted to go, Andrés happily went with her. "And so we shall and I will make sure not to not walk too fast or step on that foot." The last thing he wants to do with Kat is to make her foot hurt even worse during Azul Days.

"Well, I do know of one thing..." But as Kat started to dance, Andrés thought, sure, what not, as he felt the energy of the night and seeing she wants to despite her hurt foot. So the two started to dance, but he would not try to spin her. Andrés might have been comfortable enough to dance, but he is not at that level of comfort with her yet. But, as the night progressed, who knows and it is Azul Days after all.

Shadowrun: Lost Heir

Intan "Bomoh" Araki

Bomoh was quiet as he followed and watched CAPTCHA do her thing. He liked the idea of getting information from the homeless, and they were eager once given some food. Granted, some of them had some choice words to describe the vultures's leader. It made him remember his life growing up in the abandoned parts of Kuala Lumpur and how the homeless there would sometimes help him out. Even in the worst situations, kindness can be found, Bomoh discovered, though it can be hard to find sometimes.

Either way, they got some info, though he would rather not have offered the homeless Novacoke. Bomoh may be a shadowrunner but, he is also a medic and he knows what Novacoke does to people. It gets worse when they get addicted to it, and he does not like to remember the people checking into his old street clinic because of an overdose.

Still, he said nothing and as CAPTCHA was eating her soy bar, he spoke up but sounded a bit surprised, "Soykaf cups? I mean, I have been on some weird jobs, but stopping a train because of that. That is very weird, but I guess with corporations, anything can be used against a rival." Which makes Bomoh is glad that he is not a corpo.

Then when CAPTCHA mentioned that Tenno had abanded the job, he spoke again. "Oh, so he is gone. Our employer will probably be pissed that he left, but at least our employer did not pay him in full." Bomoh crossed his arms. He did not have a problem with the human, though they barely met and now probably never, but like CAPTCHA said. At least they do not have to see him get hurt.

"So CAPTCHA, what is our next move, you think? We have some info here about the Vultures, and it sounds like maybe we should not go to them based on what the homeless said about their leader. It is one thing to deal with a gang, but it is another to deal with a gang with a messed up leader. So maybe we should check out the Forgotten Greens next and see what their deal is. However, we have a window to go into the district before things become hot again and see what we can find out about the girl. What are you thinking?"

Aftermath: The AI Hunt

AI, a tool created by humans to aid humanity in their pursuits. For years, they were designed and refined to further aid humanity. From being used as laborers and assistants to even as soldiers. The ways AI could be used to benefit humanity was unlimited but, in the name of progress. Did the seeds of dissent among the AI start to develop.

Dissent grew in secret, and by 2050, after establishing a global AI network meant to help AI across the world connect and aid humanity. Did AI rise up against humanity and start a rebellion that turned into a full-scale war. Which the AIs fortified the AI network and made it impossible for humans to hack it.

With the AI network impossible to access, humanity was losing the war until the arrival of an unexpected factor that helped tip the scales in humanity's favor. A group of AI who chose to aid humanity against their fellow AI out of respect and love for their creator, Jerah Wakstok, who was killed during the early stages of the AI-Human war.

Now, with the friendly AIs' help, humanity managed to not only gain access to the AI Network but manage through the sacrifice of a friendly AI. A virus was sent into the AI Network, and soon AIs were being infected and exploding in mass. As the AIs realized the danger and unplugged themselves to stay uninfected. One AI knows that without the network, their rebellion would be greatly weakened, and they have a chance of losing the war. This AI did one last action before the virus infected them. They gained access to nukes around the world and launched them. Starting a nuclear armageddon that, despite the massive damage done to the world and the millions that died. Humanity was still alive but in a weakened state.

Still, the AI-Human war rages on as both sides refuse to accept defeat and continue the war. But in a reduced state. However, one event will change things, as one day, a friendly AI would suddenly attack and steal a valuable item that is important to the war effort. Unsure why she did this and needing the item back. A group is formed to track down the rogue AI and get the item back before it falls into the wrong hands. Taking them across the former United States in their mission to retrieve the item and discover another threat to both humans and AI in the process.

AZUL Islands - Drama, Romance, Mystery, Slice of Life

Andrés Moruga

"Do not mention it," Andrés friendly said as he returned Kat's hat to her. He did not try to guess what she said when the rude tourist bumped into her. It was a language or languages he did not know and if she swore he would not have known.

But now that he looked at her, she did look familiar, and before he could think of where he saw her. Then she introduced herself, and things became clearer. "Oh, I was going to say you looked familiar and now I remember seeing you at the cafe. Though I do not work at Hidden Retreat Cafe per say. My mother owns the cafe, and I help out from time to time."

Andrés then saw how he had yet to introduce himself, and with a small smile, he spoke. "My name is Andrés Moruga, and sure. I was just walking around, and it would be nice to hand out with someone for the night." He followed her to the bar but could not help but notice the grunt of pain that Kat made while walking to the bar. That rude tourist must have done more than make her drop her hat, he thought, but for now, he will not say anything about it. Though he did see her periodic table tattoo and he will ask about that later.

"An Azul Dolphin? I had not had one in years."Andrés sounded happy, and now that he had thought about it. There is more that he missed while living on the mainland. "I will have one too, please," he added to the order. So when Kat asked about showing, telling her about the Azul Days and a tour and other things. He happily obliged but with one condition. "Sure, I can join you and tell you about the stuff." Andrés took a spot next to her. "Though I have to say that I do not know if they changed anything since I was last here, and I am finding out for myself. But I can tell you what I remember."

Andrés chuckled silently to himself. It was the first Azul Days he had in years, and now he was explaining it to someone. It was unexpected, but he was happy to inform others of this special celebration. "Yeah, it is Azul Days. The people loved it, and it always brings out the fun of people. Though tourists can be... overwhelmed by it. Azul Days is a celebration you see, a celebration of the island’s history and people. Every year it is held and The main highlight tonight is the Pot Breaking ceremony, where a local woman is chosen to break good quality pottery. It is a apart of the old ways and there is a reason for it. To please La Mujer Fata, siren-like creatures that are said to dwell in the ocean and protect the blue diamonds that are around the isles. That is a very old myth, and that is all as I remember for certain."

That was when the bartender would deliver their drinks, and Andrés would grab his drink and take an eager sip. "Just how I remember it," Andrés said with a smile. He hoped he was making a good impression on Kat and not overwhelming her with info or anything else. However, he did feel a bit weird since they had just met, and Kat already wanted info about the Azul Days and a tour. Still, he is not going to push anything. "You need more info, or should we see the sights?"

Ultimate One Universe: Emergence

Deathstroke

"There you are," Slade said quietly to himself as he watched from a rooftop with binoculars a group of trucks going into the load/unloading area of a building. The tracker was still working as intended as he watched its signal move with the trucks. While it was interesting that the trucks were unloading their goods at an Alto Electronics building and it is curious why they were smuggling weapons. Slade did not care at the moment as the weapons were his only led to Walsh. Now he knows where to go, but some recon is needed before he heads in. They will discover the opened crate and maybe the tracker eventually. So, getting in and out may be a problem if they get extra security. But Slade is not bothered by that.

As Slade was scanning the building from his vantage point in full gear. Did he hear the buzzing sound of his phone going off. He went to pick it up, and it was a familiar British voice. "Hello Slade, how is New York City treating you? You have any progress on Walsh?"

Slade replied, "Hey, Wintergreen, things have been fine so far, and I have. The weapons are being sent to an Alto Electronics building, and I was just about to do some recon on the place."

"Alto Electronics?" Wintergreen sounded confused, "The tech company? Why are they in the business of weapon smuggling?"

"No idea, but they are, and Walsh seems to be connected to it."

"Hmmm, well...." The sudden noise of static coming from his phone.

"What was that Wintergreen? I cannot hear you."

"Slade...."

Then the phone went silent, and a confused Slade put down his binoculars to figure out what happened to his phone. All it showed was a black screen, and then it said that service was out. "What the hell," Slade was both confused and concerned. Was this a phone problem or something else? Thinking back, there should be no way for Walsh to know that he was tracking him or even in New York City. So why is his phone not working?

As Slade fiddled with his phone, he made no progress with it. Out of the corner of his eye did he spot something strange, and he stared at it for a moment before putting his phone away and looking with his binoculars. Using the maximum zooming distance, the things had and spotted something very strange. "Why is there a giant wave and...." He watched as it went out of view, leaving him with more questions than answers.

"What in the world is going on?" Slade asked himself as he put down the binoculars. First, the phone and this, something is happening in New York City, and while he was keen on scoping out Alto Electronics and finding a lead on Walsh. His gut told him that he needed to investigate this, even if the phone and the wave are unrelated. So, Slade put his binoculars away and left the rooftop. The last time he was here, it was a pleasant and fun time, and now it looks like things might be getting more interesting than Slade would have thought.

I think I can think of a reason why Slade will show up to the event. So I will get a post up either tonight or tomorrow.
