A Beginning - Roleplay

[Jack]

Bo & Dyson

Dyson had gone from sitting to now a laid down position. He had given up. Every town member that entered the school I showed the poster of my ‘missing’ sister and asked if anyone had seen her. Everyone was a no. My sister was gone, and I had no leads what so ever.

Suddenly, Dyson bolted up on to all four’s and whilst I was midway through asking another kid if they had seen Claire he pulled me to outside the school. "DYSON! What has gotten into you?" He barks and again pulls. With such a jolt I loose grip of the lead. Where is he going? I can’t lose him too. I take chase and shout at him again. "DYSON! Stop at once, come back boy."

I see a girl sat on a bench rubbing her feet, Dyson is heading for her. I see him jump up at her, and oh no he is licking her face. I reach Dyson and his ‘new friend’, I grab his lead and pull him back from her.

"I am so so so sorry. He must like you. He smelt you from inside. I’ve not seen you around before, are you new in town?" Sure I didn’t get out much but it was a small town, I knew people’s faces. Plus she was rubbing her feet, so I reckon she has been walking?

Once I had sat down I could feel how tired I really was in my feet and legs, so it had been very welcoming. I closed her eyes for a second as I rubbed my feet, I did hear a dog bark but at first, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

My eyes flew open when I heard the dog come closer and then I saw it jump at me. "Whoa came out of my mouth as I was not prepared for this. When the dog was no longer on me I looked around confused until I looked up at the girl. I gave her smile “Oh that’s alright, I was just caught of guard. Yeah I am, I just arrived actually” I answered the girl, I paused for a moment before deciding to give her my name. "My name is Jessi"

Bo & Dyson

Score, I was right! Yeahhh.

The blonde bombshell introduces herself as Jessi, she is hot. Lucky Dyson getting to lick her chops.

"Nice to meet you. I am Bo, and my mischievous over-friendly partner in crime is called Dyson. Again, I apologise for him." At least he is behaving again, he is sat panting away, I stroke his head. I then realise this Jessi may have seen Claire on her travels into town. I dive into my pocket and pull out a ‘missing’ poster. "Oh oh Jessi, this is going to be so random but have you seen this girl on your travels?"

@Tribelover15

[Tribelover15]

I gently studied the girl just to see if I had seen her before, but I hadn’t. I smiled softly up at her before looking down at the dog. "That’s okay, lucky I do like dogs I then looked back up at Bo before standing up winching a bit as the bottom of my feet was still sore.

I looked at the poster taken in the girl on the photo before shaking her head. "She doesn’t look familiar… I’m sorry I don’t think I’ve come across her"

Corin / Prometheus encounter outside of Devon’s house FLASHBACK☀️

PROMETHEUS:
Corin was distracted by something or someone and runs right into me. I sit and throw my arms out. “Watch where you’re going, Pretty Boy!” I stand up and offer to help him up. “I don’t care what that was about.”

CORIN:
I’m distracted enough by my high over the encounter with Genesis to bump into someone, knocking us both down. I’m about to open my mouth and apologize when he snaps at me and calls me “pretty boy”.
I recognize the voice and cringe, nearly biting my tongue to keep from saying what I really want to say. Looking up it’s confirmed, Prometheus is back… just great .
He extends a hand to help me up and I consider ignoring it, but I guess if we’re all starting over here, maybe this asshole and I can start over too. I smile crookedly, thinking that I’m not starting out well at all towards a new beginning if I can only think of him as an asshole .

I reach out and take his hand, hoisting myself up to a standing position.
“You watch where I’m going.” I say with a little snark.
I quickly follow it up with the word “Thanks” so he hopefully realizes that I’m trying to break the tension.

PROMETHEUS: “Well, glad to see you and Gigi are done making out. Be good to her or else!” That was obligatory but I enjoy it.

CORIN: I try to ignore his jibe about Genesis out of respect for her privacy, but I would love to hit this guy in the face right now. I cover the impulse with a dry smile over clenched teeth, thinking that he’s probably just jealous anyway…

PROMETHEUS: “So I’ve been needing to ask you, since Luna and I are staying here, is there a place NOT Devon’s that her and I can stay? Any of the houses empty? I prefer not to stay with anyone other than Luna.”

CORIN:
He asks about the available housing in town, and I reply by telling him “well, we’re going to all talk about that tonight after the party gets going. Come by the auditorium after the foods been served and you can join the discussion. We might need to all make some changes for the winter and try living together for a few months”.

With that I turn and spin my shoulders, shoving my hands inside my pockets and walking away from him backwards, talking as I put distance between us.

“So yeah, I’ll see you and everyone later tonight. We can sort it all then. If everyone decides to cohabitate, problem solved.”
I shrug and turn away, walking briskly to let him know we’re done talking.

as I walk away and lift my shoulders against the cold, burying my neck further down inside my coat
While I walk I think I’ve always hated that guy. He’s as stuck up as he claims me to be, saying I’m a privileged brat…but he’s a bully as far as I’m concerned…he just doesn’t realize it

PROMETHEUS:
As Corin walks away I think about Luna. "Wait!”
I catch up to him and move to stand in front of him. “Look man, I’m sorry about the pretty boy comment… I know we were acquaintances because of Renee.
We have… had our issues. This isn’t that world anymore, and… you don’t know this yet, but… Renee isn’t here anymore either …
I think we need to bury the hatchet and start over. For the sake of this community and for each other. The last thing we need is anyone worrying whether or not we’re going to fight”.

CORIN:
I’m surprised he followed me and tries to apologize. I listen, still skeptical, until he says that Renee isn’t here. I wonder what he means, but I don’t feel it’s right to ask right now. I decide it’s for the best to try and make a peace with the guy… keep your enemies close, and all that

“Yeah, alright. Peace then…for the sake of the future we’re building.”
I reach out and offer to shake his hand. He takes it, and we shake hands, silently agreeing to the truce.

End flashback

Prometheus
Once Devon and Eve have left, I stop and think about my conversation with Corin. “Wait until Luna hears about that. A step in the right direction.” I say to myself.
Now I think about that creep that attacked Eve. “If I get that bastard. Gods help him.”
Had I brought my cane it would have been different. But I promised Luna to leave that at Dev’s and I’m a man of my word.
I start setting up the plates and getting the food prepared. I keep an eye out for Corin so I know when to go have that discussion with everyone. I also keep an eye out for Wendy. Corin’s cousin and I always got along somehow. Wonder how she’s been?
I check outside to see who else is coming. There’s a girl rubbing her feet and a girl with a dog. I head back in.
“Hey, Corin,” I shout.

Bo & Dyson

I had only just met this girl, but if Dyson likes her she must be a good person. My dog has very good instincts. Jessie smiles and tells me she likes dogs too. I notice her wince as she stands, her feet must be feeling so sore. How far had she walked? Jessie looks at the poster of Claire and again another god darn no. This was hopeless, my sister had just vanished without anyone seeing anything.

"I know it was a longshot but thanks. It’s just not like her. I am worried she is hurt someone or someone has taken her?" I slightly sulk, before reaching into my pocket to give Dyson a treat. munch munch munch

Instead of continuing to mope I put on a brave happy face and decide to make Jessi feel welcome. “Let’s go inside. I am going to be asking people if they have seen Claire but your more than welcome to have a bite to eat and mingle. The town is coming together tonight to discuss allsorts. Just putting it out there but if you need a place to stay and get settled you can crash with me and Dyson? We could do with a roomie. Plus I have a wonderful bath you can soak those feet in. I would offer to rub them but it’s a bit too soon for that, Dyson has already licked ya.” I smirk and let out a little giggle. "Sorry… they do look rather sore, how far have you come?"

And breathe. This girl must think she has met the town looney toon.

GENESIS
@Zandra

The day had gone quickly and so had my excitement with it. I could hardly get dressed how I wanted to, with missing posters of Claire all over town floating in my head. I was worried. She and I weren’t exactly friends, but she was apart of this community, a vital one and Corin was fond of her. Not only that but people might panic wondering how one of us could just disappear. It’s a good thing our leader planned to suggest communal living this evening.

I sigh, looking up from arranging the food in the cafeteria with some volunteers. Amongst them is Lily who’d made good on her word to get Liam to help us tonight. I snag a few chips, turning to her twin. “I’m glad your sister didn’t have to drag you kicking and screaming. You’ve been a huge help, thank you.”

He’s usually fading into the background somewhere, close by for Lily, I presume, but not too close to get to know. It’s why I haven’t really gotten a sense of who is, beyond a bodyguard for his sibling. “I hope you’ll enjoy yourself tonight.” That was the whole point of the festival, to unite us and have a good time. We’d earned that much and deserve it.

[Tribelover15]

Jessi

I felt bad that I couldn’t give a happier answer, it did get me to think of my own sister. We had never been that close but I still hoped she was somewhere safe. “I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer. I do hope you find her soon” I tell her with a soft sad smile.

I then blinked at what Bo said to me next, was this girl actually offering me a place to stay. I almost thought I was so tired I was imaging things, “You’re offering me to become your roomie? y…you don’t know me” I spoke softly as I slowly came back from my shook. I then looked down at my feet and nodded.

"I have been walking all day without much break"

@Jack

[Catha]

OOC. not really sure about all the nurse stuff atm… so i will just say Eve have her bandage now and they are back at the party

Devon

Even and i enter the big room " Why don’t you get yourself somehting to eat? I will bring in the rest of the food." i suggested. Thinking back to Promtheus words i go on " And don’t be mad a Pratt, he just wanted to help." i wink at her before i leave, watching every person i met, making sure the bastard isn’t coming in.

Eve

I nod at Devon, to the food and Prtatt before i check on the food we brought from the farm and the food some others have made. I don’t feel like eating but my stomach starts to mumble and so i take one of the little pies in front of me

@everyone arround, not sure who is where excatly

[Jack]

Bo & Dyson

I lower my head and droop my lips when the sweet girl says she is sorry. Jessi continues and the heightening in her voice indicated she was slightly taken back by my offer but that was understandable. She was right I didn’t know her, but I just had felt such good vibes from her. She finishes with informing Dyson and I that she had been walking all day.

"Dyson likes you." Hearing his name he sat up and started to sniff about Jessi. "So that means your a good egg. So yes become our roomie? Where else are you going to stay?"

I poke my tongue out at her and nudge her back down to the bench. Speaking to her I say, “Sit.” Who else hears this command and obeys Dyson of course. I quickly dive into my pocket and feed him another treat. Carrying on to Jessi I say, “And relax for 5, and tell me you’re going to crash with us.” I scoot over next to her on the bench and just look at her smiling.

[Eagle]

Sabrina

I pull back from Luna and smile at her. She looks deep into my eyes. I start to feel uneasy as it looks like she’s about to kiss me. Just as if Fenella was my guardian angel starts to cry. ” I’ll go get her ready” . I hurry off without another word. Making my way to Fenella’s cot I pick her up and rock her for a moment. Within a moment she was calm and content again. I put her on the change mat and change her nappy and put her into new clothes. My mum thought it would be funny to get a farmer outfit for her so I thought in honour of the party I put her into it. I went to the kitchen and heated up her bottle, double checked her essentials bag and packed some more wipes. I go back to Luna ”Ready when you are.”

@Prometheus

[Prometheus]

Luna
I step out the bathroom in my party outfit and with my hair down. I am still feeling embarrassed that I almost kissed her. When I see her, I do twirl. “Do you like it?” I look her over too. Her outfit with her hair. “You look great too.” I see Fenella’s farmer outfit. “She looks adorable.”
She says she’s ready to go when I am. “Yes, I’m ready to go. I’m following you,” I say and follow her out the door."
“So do you maintain this farm on your own?” I ask to make conversation.

OOC
This is the outfit Luna is wearing, complete with the goggles and how she has her hair styled. (For all intents and purposes, the girl in the picture IS Luna. Pretend alright? Lol)

[Eagle]

Sabrina

“I love it” . Luna says she ready so I put my bag on the best I can and follow her out the door. I hope everything goes okay tonight. I don’t think I’ll do much partying since I have Fenella but it’ll just be nice to be there. I turn to Luna as she starts speaking to me ”Yeah I do. I’m used to it though so it’s not that bad. Hopefully there isn’t too much cattle loss in the winter though but that we shall see. I know Corin wants people to live together so I might either get help here or I’ll have to move. If I’m going to be honest I don’t want to.” I stop myself as I’ve talked more than I have in a while. I figure out it something to say. ”What about you? Does Prometheus still have access to his old place. It’s a nice one it’s close to the shops” . I look down at Fenella for a moment as she guzzles her milk.

@Prometheus

[Prometheus]

Luna
Sabrina mentions cattle loss. “Well, since you know Pratt then you should know that there’s no need to worry about losing any of the cattle. He is an expert at keeping them well through the winter. He was able to do it last winter and didn’t lose not one. The conditions were as bad as they will be now.”
When she mentions she doesn’t really want to move, I couldn’t help my response. It was said before I could think about it. “Pratt and I still have nowhere to stay seeing how we just got here. I can help you out with Fenella, the chores and the animals. Pratt can help you with the animals, repairs and winterizing everything.” I realize what I said and quickly follow up. “It is something to think about. We’d stay in our own rooms and Pratt likes to keep himself busy since Renee…” I stop talking. “As for access to his old place, Pratt still has access to his old home. The animals all passed and nobody is there. He also has access to his dad’s old butcher shop. The butcher shop is a half days walk from here and his old house is about a day and a half walk. My old house isn’t worth the time and effort to go to.”

As we walk and talk, before I know it, we’re approaching the school. We pass by two women and a dog that I pay no mind to at all. Sabrina looks beautiful in her outfit. I have had to repeatedly resist holding her hand. “We’re here already. I’ll be damned. If at any point you want me to take Fenella so that you can socialize or dance, I won’t made taking her.” I say with a smile.
Pratt is standing at the door and looks between me and Sabrina with that, “Oh really now?” look. I roll my eyes at him and accompany Sabrina and Fenella inside.
@Eagle

[Eagle]

Sabrina
Luna talks about how Pratt and her could move in and I think for a moment. I mean it would be nice but I’ve already talked Devon and Genesis about it. And I barely know her. I know Pratt a bit but not a whole lot. I smile at her as we approach the hall. I see Bo talking to a girl I don’t recognise ”oh no not another person” I say under my breathe. I hope Luna didn’t hear because I feel horrible for saying it. I just really hope there aren’t too many more that come from out of Minbadurra. It’s not exactly a big town. I smile as we walk past I see Bo looks quite stressed. I might check on her later.
“Thanks for the offer! I might just take you up on that” I wink at her and Nod at Pratt. I just can’t wait to get inside.

@Prometheus @Tribelover15 @Jack

[Tribelover15]

Jessi

I did believe their were goodness in people still, but I was still very surprised and even shocked by that had just happened. But I was also very moved by it, I looked down at Dyson and smiled softly. I look back up at Bo and thought about it, she did have a point I had no place to stay.

"Y.yeah I guess I don’t really have any other place to stay" I then said giving her a smile. I then blinked and sat down again at the bench, even the hard wood was welcoming because my whole weight wasn’t on my feet anymore. I look at Bo again and smiled. "Sure, that does sound lovely. Thank you so much"

@Jack

[Jack]

Bo & Dyson

Thankfully she agrees to live with Dyson and I. It would be great to have someone else around. It meant that it would now not be known as my father’s room though, it’s not like he was coming back. However I am hoping my sister does come back, and I don’t care what she says but there is no way she is living out alone in that big house, she will be moving into the bar and bunking in with me. God this new world was tough.

Smiling at Jessi, I tell her how happy I am. "Oh fantastic. Be great to have you around. You can stay as long as you like. It’s cool if you make other friends and at a later date want to change, but Dyson and I are no trouble so your be silly to move into a cramped house with untidy people. Plus where we live, we also have a bar. Once I find Claire, I then intend to reopen it. It’s called Hal’s after my father."

Dyson becomes restlessly again and starts rooting through Jessi’s belongings. I pull him away. What has got into him?

[Prometheus]

Prometheus
Of course Corin is suddenly NOWHERE to be found. I guess I’ll allow the dog. I feel strange wearing all black but they were my cleanest clothes. At least I look my best.
Suddenly Sabrina and to no surprise, Luna walk up to the door. Sabrina nods at me. I stop her for a second and look at her baby sister. “Aren’t you just adorable, Fenella?” I give Sabrina a careful hug and make sure not to crush or harm Fenella. “I like the hair style choice. Works with your outfit. We’re just about set up. Get with Gigi and she’ll show you both to where we’re having our meeting before the festivities begin.”
I then whisper to Sabrina, “I saw them too. Can’t say I’m pleased.” I tell her regarding the people sitting outside that seem to have gotten awfully friendly way too quickly.
@Eagle @Patch

Prometheus’s outfit (Not Prometheus just his outfit. lol)

[Eagle]

Sabrina

Prometheus gave me a gentle hug and he whispered something to me about the person Bo is talking to. Gosh he’s good at reading my thoughts. I give him a smile. ”Should we head in?”
