LIFE! Well... sorta'...

[Bryden]

((Ok, so the point of this RP is.. THERE IS NO POINT! We just write in normal RP format, talking about our normal, average, boaring-ass lives. No, there isn't any magic aside from the usual found in your life. No, it isn't far in the future. No, we aren't going to go on a quest.
It's just... life. In all it's oddity and eccentricty. It's fun and it's sadness and it's bizzare normality.
Have fun with that!))

So picture this....
We had always talked about growing up and still beging friends. As if this was some Kingdom Hearts game where we all wonder if we will still be freinds when we grow up before our world is tossed into chaos.
Except.. the world didn't get rend in twain. We didn't get sucked into any computer games (well.. ok, maybe some of us struggle with WoW addicitions.. but nobody literally got sucked in). Nobody discovered a dragon egg or recived a letter inviting them to attend a school of magics.
Disappointing? Yes.
the end of life? Not quite.
You see, one dream actually DID come to frutation. somehow, we managed to locate a run down old house in an urban area of California. We all pitched in some money to buy it, then got our bags together and moved.
So here we are!
The house needs repairs out the wazoo, most of us had never even met before, and we're all just stupid young people who are more interested in getting some booze then getting though finals (ok, aside form maybe Gafe, but we all know what a square he is ^^ [kidding, kidding!]).
So... let life begin... now!

[Bryden]

"I WILL TURN THIS THING AROUND, MISSY!" screamed Bryden, turning her head to cast a quick glance at the girl in the back seat.
"Sorry.." grumbled her sister, Allison, as she withdrew the feet that had been kicking the back of Bryden's chair for the past 20 miles.
Bryden sucked in air through her teeth.
"look, we're almost there. It's something like the next exit. So if you can CHILL OUT until then, we'll be in good shape."
She passed another car in the rental half-a-moving-van she was driving.
Bryden didn't own a car, as much as she liked driving them. Nah. Too expensive. She would have to put up with her bike or borrowing somebody else's car until the term ended and she had some money of her own again.
"There it is!" she said suddenly, smiling as she pulled the car off the freeway and onto the ramp that was their exit.
15 mins later they were pulling into the driveway of what Bryden and Alli had started to refer to as "Our House".
The currently blue-haired young woman turned the car off and, with a smile, opened the door, bypassing the door-step and leaping right onto the pavement.
Three steps and a jump up the stairs of the porch, and she was at the door, holding her copy of the house key in slightly trembling fingers.

Travis was running late, as usual. And speeding wasn't really out of the option for him, but the fact he was in an old pick up, no furniture with him, just clothing, and a drum set. That's all he needed. He had already finished the transfer from UCONN out to UCSB, so he would deal with it when the time came.
"Fuck this...Well, it's cheaper than living on campus." He sighed as he continued the drive off the highway and towards his new home.

"Oh well... Things couldn't get any worse. So maybe this little adventure will be nice. And if it isn't, well fuck." Trav kept talking to himself, knowing that he had driven across the entire country and then down I-5, he was just happy to get off of highways and just make it to the house and fall asleep.

Yeah, sleep...

[PsychoKath]

Because of Kath's really flexible job- she worked from wherever she was, and sent all of her stuff in via mail and internet - she was the first one at the house, and had been in charge of getting the basics set up. This also meant that she had first pick of the rooms, and her room was already completely finished- paint and all. So that was a plus. The minus? That due to the fact she had just made it onto the bestsellers list she was to be heading many of the finances for repairs and had to 'play nice' with the repairmen. She didn't like to play nice with grungy guys who couldn't stop staring at her boobs- the moment the finished their joba nd she paid them she decided that she would have a few choice words with each of them. But all the repairmen had packed up and left for the day, leaving Kath alone to wait for everyone to show up- she had already made some tea and pasta so the house smelt great.

Then she ehard someone fumbling with their key in the lock and she raced tot he foyer to greet whoever it was- then Bryden and Alli walked through the front door. A smile lit her face and she hugged them both, "Good thing you didn't decide to put pink in, we both know thats my territory." She said with a laugh, referring to the hot pink streaks tha tnow decorated her hair.

[Eva]

"Is this really a good idea?"

Eva rolled her eyes at Jason's skepticism, which he had held about this move-in since day one. "Mi amor, the counselor said this was a good idea. Before we jump the broom, we should see what it's like to be seperated from each other. Besides, I spent a lot of time- and money- setting this up." she said. "This just strikes me as a really strange thing to do. You're not usually this strange." Jason replied. Eva sighed. They had been driving from the airport for about an hour, and only now did he begin to question her again. They finally reached the house, and Eva killed the engine. She turned to her fiancee and smiled warmly. "What if they don't like me?" he asked, using his last possible bullet to strike down the idea. "They love me. And I love you. Therefore, they have to love you. Math is fun!" she said. Eva opened the door and grabbed her purse while Jason went to the trunk for her bags. Eva looked down at her Mercedes and sighed. She wouldn't see it again for what could be an extremely long time. "Who knows. Maybe we'll move here some day." she called.

Eva saw the door open and looked at the other cars parked in the driveway. Hers stood out as being...well, more expensive. Eva looked down at her Chanel jacket, heels, and purse and sighed. Knowing Kath, a witty remark would be expected.

"I'm armed, and if any of you try anything funny, I have someone outside waiting for me." Eva called, peering her head into the foyer. A huge grin broke across her face and she dropped her purse. She caught Kath and Bryden in a bearhug and giggled. "Oh, wow. Look at you girls. Y'all are even uglier than I'd thought." she said. Eva smiled, knowing that they would get the joke. "How ARE y'all?" she asked.

[Vale]

Travis finally reached the house, and much to his surprise, people were already here, and apparently someone was waiting outside.
"Evening." He spoke, as he got out of his truck to the random stranger. "Anything I can help you with?" He said, trying not to seem too invasive, but things like that come off.
"Ah, sorry." He paused, extending his hand to the man standing outside "Travis."

Hearing noise from the inside, he hopped up the steps and without knocking blindly opened the door to 4 women standing in front of him.
"Well now, isn't this a sight?"

[GnomesAteMyCake]

"I say, Old Bean, how's about I find us a small cafe where we can partake in the eating of some tea and scones," the cabby said in a truely awful british accent.
"Uh, I'm good, thanks. I just wanna get there and make sure i don't end up sleeping on the sofa because all the rooms are gone," Gina said nervously, and rolled her eyes. Yeah, you're hilarious buddy...British people don't even talk like that....
"Hmmm, suit yourself," He said gruffly, dropping the whole accent thing. "Where are you heading again?"
Gina showed him the address of the house that she would be calling home for the forseeable future, and the cabby took a left.
Sighing, she straightened her T-shirt and yawned. Man, it had been a long flight over from the UK to California. All she wanted to do now was get there, send her mum a e-mail, and go to sleep. Even if it was on the couch. Guessing that she must have fallen asleep in the back of the cab, She jolted to a start as the cabby breaked hard. Yawning and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she reached into her bag and pulled out her purse, which was now empty of british money, and full of american dosh. Goodbye British pounds, hello American dollars.
She handed the cabby the money, insisting he keep the tip, and got out of the vehicle and pulled her two suitcases from the back. She saw a Mercedes parked just in front of the, and a man was lent against the side casually.
"Ta ta for now, my old cream cracker!" the cabby shouted through the open window, putting on his stupid accent again. Gina smiled, and waved, but her smile slid off her face as he rounded around the corner.
"Yes, till we meet again old chap," she muttered angrily, and began dragging her two cases up the steps to the main part of the house. It looked like it could do with a little work, but she was willing to help out in any way she could. She peeped herhead around the front door, and looked at the people inside. Grinning, she knocked on the doorframe, and said, "Knock knock", before running in and joining the group hug between Eva, Bryden and Kath.
"Wow, it's good to see you all!" She said, giggling.

[Bryden]

"Oh, Goddess, Wow!" Bryden said, breaking out of the group-bear-hug and stepping back to get a better look at the other girls.
Eva... Kath.. Gina... they all looked.. exactly like she had expected.
"Damn," she laughed, "Can't you surprise a girl a little?" A grin split her face.
Apparently she was feeling totally out of character that day, as she squealed slightly and hugged the others again. "Oohh, It's so good to see you guys! I mean fuckin' finally!"
At last, she broke off the hug and lifted her head. "Who made munchies?" she asked, sniffing the air and making a bee-line for the stove.
She opened the pot holding the pasta and stuck in the fork that was sitting on the counter.
Placing the pasta in her mouth, she turned to the door. "Hi, Travis!" she said with her mouth full.

[PsychoKath]

"I'm the one who made munchies- you guys didn't expect me to be here for a week on my owna nd not cook, did you? Honestly..." so far thigns were going well, Eves had delivered the first ceremonial insult and Bryden had squealed and attacked the food. Things were working out well. Eyeing travis she popped back into the kitchen, grabbed a cold beer from the fridge and tossed it at him- her way of saying hello. She then grabbed Eva by the arm and dragged her outside. Once out ther, she spoke.

"Two things. One, where is Jason? And two, I thought we made it clear that we were not going to display our wealth in front of everyone? Most of my Chanel and such are hidden away- and i kept my expensive car in the shop! Really, eves, what're thinking? his little experiment is going to be hard already.. they have to get used to this first before they'll be comfortable with it..." she trailed off as she finally caught sight of Jason. Turning awy from Eva,s he approached him.

At first she looked him in the eye, but then she gave him the 'up down' glance. After a puase she said, " I suppose you're good enough for her. But, you know, hurt her and I'll kick your ass. I'm Kath by the way," she added straighfaced.

[Weremouse]

Naturally, Jaya was running late - but of course was completely unaware of it. Most of her stuff was already in the house - she had been living there for a couple days already, and hadn't fought with Kath yet (to her extreme pleasure - but that was probably because Jaya was working three jobs and going to school, and Kath was busy cleaning the place up, not to mention working) She was dragging her last suitcase - books and video games - behind her. She smiled at the California sun. She had missed it. Vancouver was always so rainy, she was pleased to see the sun again. She pulled out her key (which she had already colored lime green with a sharpie) and turned it in the back door. She walked to the staircase, expecting to be early, but noticed that a crowd had formed. She smelled food. Escaping everyone's notice, she crept to the kitchen, leaving her suitcase by the stairs.

"Mmm....I'm going to fall asleep with this smell in my room..." she said wistfully, not noticing Bryden already eating the pasta. She went to grab her mug from the shelves (a beautiful blue mug with her name in different languages on it - Victoria was engraved in the middle, as that was her "english" name.) and poured some tea into the mug. She took a sip, forgetting to add sugar.

"Ehh. Not bad. Orangey." she said dreemily.

[Eva]

"I just wanted to make a good impression, McFinnigan." Eva said, holding her hands up. Jason approached the two, holding Eva's bags in his arms. "Well, Kathy, if you MUST know, there's a reason why I got all decked out, and it's a GOOD one. Cause we've got news." Eva said, smiling widely. "Go talk to the crazies, dear, I'll be inside in a flash." she said to Jason. He gave her a peck on the cheek and went inside, not looking at all burdened by the many bags he was carrying. "Come ON, Kath. Is he not the greatest guy ever?" Eva whined, losing her tough exterior.

[Vale]

"If you're into that sort of thing." Travis made his snide remark already as he was leaning on the porch. "If people are going to be carrying things inside, maybe he can help with my drumset?" He laughed a bit, sarcasm truly radiating from his voice, he smiled drinking a bit then spewing it out horribly.

"Kath...I expected a bit higher quality of beer from the only other drunkard in here. Shessh." He sighed as he walked down the steps and towards the truck he drove in with.

Reaching the side of the door he sighed as he noticed a picture and crumpled it up, leaving it on the side of the car as he reached to grab some of his bags, pulling the classic alcoholic move, juggling suitcases and an open beer, even if it was watery.

Heading back towards the door, Kath and Eva were still sitting there talking, and a long drive was rather taxing on him, so Trav just figured he should drop his stuff off in one of the rooms and probably pass out.

yeah...sleep...

[PsychoKath]

"I drank all of the good stuff last night, Trav. I'll go out and get some more later, promise!" she told him brightly, guy looked like he was about to fall asleep as he walked. She then turned back to Eva and had to hide her amusement on the many sides of the woman in front of her. Some days it was a relief to see the 'gushin school girl' side to her.

"Well, I can see that he is a good guy. But I really wasn't kidding about killing him if her hurt you.. you know that right?" Before Eva could answer Kath pressed on. "But tell me, what is this news of yours? Anythign that has you this excited has to be good!"

[Lazyass Bry]

It took her a second, but then...
"JAYA?!?!" Bryden shreiked. Thankfully, she had already swallowed the pasta.
Rushing forward, she wrapped the other girl in a hug.
"Finally!" she all but squealed, "I get to actually see you without a computer screen in between!"
She stepped back, smiling. without even skipping a beat, she grabbed a paper towel and wiped Jaya's face where she'd caused her tea to slop out of it's mug.
"Oops.. sorry 'bout that," Bryden said awkwardly.

[Weremouse]

"What happened to Miss I-try-really-hard-to-be-bitchy?? Haha! Great to see you!" cried Jaya, a grin the size of half a watermelon climbing up her face. "Maybe next time let me put my tea down first" she added, frowning a little. She put it down, and went back for another hug. "Ahh. Good old healthy happiness. Gaffe coming soon?" she inquired, the grin returning bigger than before.
"Oh yeah" she added, without letting Bryden answer. "Better get your room quick. I'd hate for you to get stuck in the attic!" she added, laughing a little. "That place has so many spiders it makes my skin crawl to even think about them. Maybe with some fixing up...and bug spray, it'd be nice, but still... I'm not helping with the cleaning" she said, chuckling. She picked up her tea and took a sip, waiting for Bryden to respond.
