Hawthorne Family

Location: Kitchen - Hawthorne House
Timeframe: Early Morning

Interaction(s): None
Previously: N/A


Gray was b making breakfast for the family. Normally, he would let Lara make her own or for Zach now that she knew how to cook. He used to do more in the past, but these days. It helps to keep himself busy in these trying times, along with maintaining the house. This time, he is making the kids their favorite, french toast for Lara and waffles for Zach, while making himself some scrambled eggs. Gray thought they deserved some of the good food they still had left. Though as he finished making the food, it did not help to stop him from feeling the bitter uncertainty of what lay ahead for them.

"Lara, Zach. Breakfast is ready." Saying it loud enough that they could hear him.

Lara was first, and soon came Zach. "Morning, Dad," both siblings said, and they grabbed their food, sat at the table, and started eating. But before he could bring his meal to the table and eat with them, Lara spoke up first. "You didn't have to wake up this early and make this for us."

Gray could only smile at her, "I wanted to, and while I may be old, I can still handle myself and keep up with you two."

Lara replied, "I know, Dad, but still, you are old and things are... She did not want to finish the sentence. "Just we would like you not get hurt or push yourself too much."

Gray now with his food in hand and walked over to the table and sat down with them again with a soft smile, he spoke. "Well, I know my limits and trust me, I am not pushing myself too hard. Besides we have other things to worry about."

"Just looking out for you, dad," Lara sounded concerned.

"Like that noise last night?" Zach added, "I had a hard time falling asleep after it woke me up."

"Yeah, Zach, first we have to deal with the... infected and whatever caused that noise last night. It may be nothing, but in these times, it could be something bad."

"Should we investigate and see what it was? Maybe even get some supplies from it." Lara spoke up with interest.

"Yes, but not you two. It is too dangerous."

"But by yourself is also dangerous and..."

Gray suddenly interjected, "I know how to handle myself, you two do not, and I do not want anything to happen to you two."

Lara was caught off-guard said nothing for a moment as Zach went to eat his waffles but would speak again. "Then how about you train us? I know you do not talk about your army days but, I feel like it would not hurt right now."

"You are right about that, and I was thinking about that. I may not always be around to protect you two, and it would help to keep you two safe."

Zach spoke up, "that would be cool, training to be soldiers and stuff."

Gary chuckled, "not soldiers but fighters, and I know we have some stuff lying around that would make good melee weapons."

"I like the sound of that dad," Lara spoke before eating some of her french toast.

"Well, after I sort out some things, I think practice will start sometime today, so eat up before your food gets cold."

Zach and Lara nodded and smiled and went to eat their food. Gary joined them, and the family went about eating their breakfast. They had a busy day ahead of them, and they had to be ready for whatever came down the street. Gray would make sure of that.
I think I will not be joining this rp but good luck with it.
I might join, as either as a ghost or spectre-like person or a shapeshifting beetle person.
I will get a post out this week.

With a quiet nod, Aleyn went to sit down in the chair Charlotte gestured to, ignoring the angry American and the Romanian magician. If they were to quarrel more, then it would be something, but Aleyn prefers some peace right now, so they will be ignored unless physical blows come about.

"Though I am not English, I am Manx, but I doubt you have heard of that or my home in the British Isles, so I will just remain quiet on the subject unless you wish to know." He grabbed a bottle of port and poured himself a glass, taking a sip of it with a soft smile. "It is better than my gin, yes, my lady, but I think I should limit myself today. I do not wish to overdo it."

"Okay, I also plan on returning here and seeing where this goes. Plus, being paid in Swiss Francs is not bad, but I do not know how much that is in Pounds." Aleyn taking another sip of port, and his eyes locked on Charlotte's eyes. Then, his tone shifted from friendly to hesitant. "The reason I am in Bavaria is a.... personal matter. I would say more, but you would probably not believe it. Most do not, but all I am going to say is that I am here for a reason, and who knows? Night Watch might just be the break I am looking for if they can help me with my... business."

Charlotte maybe could tell that Aleyn was trying to hide a hint of sadness in his eyes for a moment before taking a long sip of port and the sadness going away. "So, if I might ask, why do you think the Night Watch invited you here? Just curious since I have an idea why they invited me, and I can only guess about the others."

"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.

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 had a life growing up with his parents and made him escape by joining the military when he was old enough. 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.

Lara had always been more of a fighter and seemly takes after Grayson in some ways. Though her life before meeting Grayson was a bad one. She is grateful that he has managed to give her and Zach a sense of stable and happy life. Lara regularly speaks her mind and is protective of her friends and loved ones. More so, her younger brother Zach, but otherwise. She has become an outgoing person if a little shy and reserved at times.

Making friends while at Huddeen and moving past her troubled past. Graduating from high school and eager to start the next chapter of her life.

Zach after moving in with Grayson was a quiet kid at first. But as he got used to living with Grayson and learning he could trust Grayson. Did Zach start with help from Lara, did he start to come out of his shell. Now Zach while still a a bit shy and timid. He has grown to express himself. His favorite hobby has been photography and loves messing with photos with photoshop.

He has made some friends at Huddeen and wishes to see the world once he is done with high school and get enough money to do so.

After Temple said his piece and he went to drink some port. Aleyn could not help but feel interested in what Temple said. Perhaps they could help him with his problem. He wondered what the others thought of this as he looked around. There is quite an assortment of characters here, and how many will stick around, he thought. Still, they were brought here for a reason, and if he was summoned here because of his problem, then he was curious how the others here were selected as well.

This did not stop him from reaching down to his flask, and he took a large sip before returning it to its place on his person. As he looked around, one person stood out from him—a young woman by the looks of it, but smaller than most women he had met. Charlotte was her name. To him, she stood out the most, and she was the same woman he talked to earlier at the door. Why was she invited here, and maybe he could find out?

So Aleyn hoping he does not make a bad impression on Charlotte. He walked towards her and started talking in a friendly tone. "Hello, Charlotte, and do you mind if we talk for a bit? I am just seeing how some of the others feel about this. My mind is made up, but I wonder who will show up tomorrow."
