Finn came slowly down the sidewalk, in his hand was an old guitar case with a priceless acoustic guitar in it. Finn was a southern boy, born in Tennessee that's where he'd lived most of his life. He was however thankful for the home, but he felt bad for leaving Mindy. She hated it when he went out (he usually spent time playing guitar in little whole in the wall clubs.) He had that whole: southern draw, girls loved it. They swooned whenever he sang, or even if he just greeted them. Mindy didn't an accent, poor thing barely had a voice. She was so quiet and timid. Finn never had that problem: he was outgoing, handsome, freindly, and liked to play the badboy role. Girls ate up that stuff: but Finn was still single, not because he was a werewolf.. but because he had to take care of Mindy. He didn't know how close to the highschool he was until he stopped to check his phone, which had gotten yet another text from his sister. He looked up and jumped slightly when a gust of wind hit him and carried with it pink scraps of paper.

Okay, so I was reading through the rules etc. and I saw this.

I know the newer posts are higher, which was pointed out to me, but I just wanted to know. This is in the open rp thread so I just wanted to ask.



Does this still apply? I'd love to join and this looks like a lot of fun. I'm just wanting to ask, I don't mean to intrude or be rude. I just thought it might be worth asking. Thanks!

Angela pulled on a lightweight red sweater over her black v neck and smoothed it out. It was getting cooler and she did not do well in cold weather. She sighed. Here comes another hard winter, she thought to herself. Oh well. At least that meant that she'd get to wear her cute sweaters that got ignored in the summertime. She pulled on her jeans and walked out of the bathroom. She slipped into the room she shared with Bree then out onto the balcony. "Hey, Bree," she greeted her roommate and close friend cheerily. "Aren't you cold?" she asked, staring at the clothes that Bree was wearing.

Johnny sat on his bed, reading his favorite book, Tunnel in the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein, then looked at the clock. He sighed to himself, shut his book, and stood up. He stretched and yawned, feeling like he'd been hit by a bus instead of laying in a warm bed. However, that's how it went. He put on his watch then jogged downstairs. Johnny turned into the kitchen and nodded at Griffin. He grabbed an apple and sat at the table, glancing at his watch again. His muscles itched to go make sure Lily was awake but he stopped himself. She had been fine while they were separated and she'd be fine without him constantly checking on her, no matter how much he wanted to. She'd already asked him to "Chill out and think about himself more" and he was doing his best to listen to her. However, old habits die hard. He made himself remain seated at the table. He trusted her to get up on her own. It wasn't like she was irresponsible.

Lily rolled out of bed and got dressed sluggishly. She yawned and stretched her arms. Getting up was always the hardest part of the day. Well, next to getting herself to go to bed on time. Usually, she tried to stay up all night reading. she walked into the hallway and walked into the bathroom. As she walked back out, she noticed Matt sleepily making his way out of his room. She chuckled. "Morning sleepyhead." She smiled at her friend. "See ya down stairs." She practically skipped down the stairs and was overjoyed that she only nearly tripped once! If Johnny had been around to see her, he would have clapped and made some sarcastic comment about how that was the most graceful she had ever been.

Jimmy's alarm clock began going off and he sat bolt up right. He considered hitting the snooze button but decided against it. He turned off the clock's sound that drove him insane and got out of bed. He picked up a shirt off the floor and sniffed it. "Eh," he muttered to himself. "Clean enough." He pulled it on and began gathering the homework he had been finishing the night before. Jimmy then went downstairs and began to make a sandwich for lunch and another for breakfast. He didn't like breakfast food but he couldn't get enough lunch food! He smiled to himself as he took a bite of his "breakfast". He had a gut feeling today would be a great one.

Ooc:// Pure_one - Mr. and Mrs. Silver will just be general characters played by everyone unless/until someone joins as them.

Flutterby - No, that no longer applies since all the old members wanting to join having joined. You may post your character(s) at any time.

OOC: Hey, Rose, when Zac eventually joins the house, would he be able to have Bedroom 3? According to what you said about them being in the same room according to personalities and such, I think he would get along great with Matt. Plus Bedroom 3 is close to the Balcony as well, so. xD Also, I'll put him in my next post most likely (no inspiration for him here).

Ashton had been walking the length of the school, smirking to himself. The high schools had changed drastically since he had last gone to one, and to be honest, he was in no hurry to attend again. It seemed petty, really. Of all these years he had been roaming the earth as his same old self, unchanged, he hadn't used too much of the lessons in high school at all. He'd even gone to college once or twice, and nothing ever did it for him. No matter. He didn't much care for a job. He just liked seeing the sights and exploring things. This high school was the center of his curiosity for the moment, and as he headed over to the garden section, where he smelled the most beautiful roses in the air, he noticed something peculiar.

Bits and pieces of pink paper were flying gracefully through the wind, obviously torn up by someone nearby. He caught one in the air, viewing it shortly before letting it chase after its brothers in the wind. The part he saw had said 'Hel' then 'Wa' just below it. Having been alive for a while, it was quite easy to determine what it actually said: 'Help Wanted'. Where, he didn't know, but he saw a girl within the garden who looked frustrated and distraught. "Hey stranger. Feel like venting to the curious?" He shot a smirk at her.

Bree turned her head to lean the side of it against the chair so she could see Angela wrapped up in a red sweater that looked pretty warm. She looked back up at the sky in time to see a couple white snow flakes drifting down from the dark clouds. She shrugged at Angela and replied nonchalantly, "I suppose I will be." Despite her words, Bree showed no sign of getting up from her chair. Actually, she closed her eyes and took a deep breathe of the chilled air, enjoying the crisp scent of winter. She sighed happily as she opened her eyes again, glancing at Angela once more. "Bet your nice and warm," she stated with a small smirk as she eyed Angela's thick sweater.



Matt grumbled out a jumble of words that may have been a greeting or may not have been. Rubbing hard at his eyes so they wouldn't close again as he walked, Matt lagged behind Lily as she quickly made her way to the stairs. Matt had just turned the corner of the hallways when he heard her feet skipping down the stairs, only faltering once. This would have registered in his mind better if he wasn't so concerned with making it inside the bathroom without falling asleep again.



Griffin returned Johnny's greeting with a nod of his own, finally able to tear his eyes away from the little boy sitting on the porch of Pack House ten years ago. He had just taken another bite of his toast when he heard a knock coming from the front door. Wondering who it could be, Griffin quickly swallowed the food in his mouth. He glanced at Johnny quickly as he dumped his plate in the sink. Griffin made his way through the living room and into the mud room where Lily had just entered from the stairs. He lifted his hand and waved slightly at her before he pulled open the large front door. "Can I help you?" Griffin said warily in a gruff town, scenting the hair and quickly realizing this guy was a werewolf. Griffin wondered briefly is he would be asking to stay here.



Luna's head snapped up as she heard a male voice near her. She forcefully stopped herself from gasping in surprise, trying to quickly wipe the surprise from her face. But she knew her dark green eyes were as large as two moons as she stared at the blonde boy. Her panicked heavy breathing quickly picked up on a strange but strong scent on the air that seemed to be wafting from the boy. Her face scrunched up as the smell filled her nose, not taking any immediate like to it. Completely ignoring his question, Luna asked one of her own, not sparing his feelings. "What are you?" she said rudely, curling her lip and showing her teeth at him in a way that wasn't exactly human.

Finn could see the house as he started walking again, he could see Bree and Angela sitting on the Balcony. He couldn't wave to them before he heard: "Finn! Finn!" He was tackled in a hug around the waist by his little sister Melinda.

"Mindy!" Finn began with a scowl: "Where's your coat?!"

"I-in the house..." She stuttered, shivering and rubbing her arms. "I wanted to go for a walk..."

"C'mon... Get your coat, then we'll go walk." He sighed, leading her back to the house. Looked up at the girls on the Balcony, giving a grin and a wave.

Ashton did his best to feign shock, though he wasn't too good at conveying emotions he never truly practiced. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean," he said, pretending to ignore her curled lip and attitude, while smiling all the time. "I assume you meant to say 'Who am I?' Because, in that case, the name's Ashton." He sidestepped her in order to take up one of the walls in the garden. "So, what lovely event has caused you to feel such anger?" He asked amused.

Zac hadn't been in town for too long, but he was already starting to get the feel of the place. He vaguely wondered if he should go back to school but pushed away the thought immediately. The last day he went to school was the same one he got dared to go into the woods. That day had ruined his entire future, however fun being a werewolf was at times. Whichever the case, school was boring as a brick anyways, and Zac was the opposite of dull, so he preferred not to waste his time on something that wouldn't make him laugh. He was close to a few buildings, though at the moment unsure of what part of town he was by.

Angela chuckled to herself and crossed her arms. "Yes, I am actually," she replied, leaning against the banister. "I don't know how you can handle the weather like that." She shook her head, her long hair falling one either side of her face. She was a desert rat, even if she'd never been to the desert. It was the heat she liked. The wonderful heat that summer brought. However, winter had it's own things to offer. Like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Her two favorite holidays. She considered them the family-oriented holidays. That's why they were favorites. "But I'm happy for you that you can do that." She nodded at her roommate. She looked down at Finn and Mindy, grinned, then waved. "Hey, you guys!"


Lily grinned at Griffin and gave him a small wave. She realized he was answering the door and shifted in her place, curiosity pricked. She walked behind him and looked at the stranger. Slowly and carefully, she stepped out from behind him, took a step or so back to give him his space, and titled her head to the side. Who was this guy? Was he going to join them? That would be so great! She loved meeting new people, hearing their stories, and getting to know them.


Johnny pushed himself up from the table and stretched his arms again. Yet another school day was coming up. He couldn't help but wonder what today would bring. No day ever went the way he planned so he had stopped trying after a while. Now, he just woke up, decided to greet it with a positive and determined attitude, and waited to see what would happen. He threw his apple core in the trash and washed his hands, unable to stand the stick feeling the apple had left on his hands. When he finished, he wiped his hands with a towel and headed back upstairs to grab his books.

Ooc:// Moki - A completely to forgot to answer you question in my previous post, but yes, Zac can be in that room. Also, if you are still having some inspiration trouble with him, he can meet Nessa if you want. I have no inspiration for her either, so maybe together we can pull through!

Also, to everyone, in order to clear up any confusion, I am going to say that it is Sunday, so no school today! haha

Bic:// Bree just smirked at Angela and shrugged again. "I guess I just refuse to let Winter change my clothing style," she replied matter-of-factly. "I am pretty stubborn, if I do say so myself." With her gaze still pointed upward, Bree hadn't noticed Finn and Mindy walking passed the balcony until Angela shouted her greeting. Bree craned her neck to see the two siblings down below around her propped up legs, which did a pretty fine job of blocking her view of the ground. Bree gave them a simple wave of her fingers, which seemed like nothing compared to the wide grin splitting Angela's face. For a second, Bree wished that she could smile like that and still look so pretty. Whenever she tried that model grin, it just made her look like she was in pain.



Matt exited the bathroom, a lot more awake then he had been a few minutes ago. A splash of cold water on his face usually had that affect. As he trotted down the steps, the tiredness weighing down his limbs evaporated. Just in time to, because as he headed into the mud room, he nearly crashed into Lily and Griffin standing in the doorway. Glancing around the two, Matt so the reason why. A new werewolf was standing out on the porch!



Luna stared at the strange boy incredulously. Why was he ignoring her question? It was obvious that niether of them was human, so why pretend that he didn't know what she meant? Luna took another whiff of his scent, the smell burning her nose. Well, not burning, exactly, but more like freezing. His scent reminded her of the crispness and solidness of ice. This connection allowed Luna to think that maybe he was a... No, that was impossible.

Deciding to play along with his little game, Luna answered Ashton's curiousity. "It turns out that restaurant's don't like to hire girls off the street. Suddedenly, I see the perks of prostitution," she said sullenly with a tiny shrug. "I guess thats life."



Nessa drove into the parking lot of her favorite bakery, keeping her eye out for any cops that might magically know that she only had her permit on hand and technically wasn't allowed to drive without an adult. Just one more week until she could her license, so what was the big deal? She doubted she would be any better of a driver in that time anyways. Nessa parked near the back of the lot, just in case, and fiddled inside her purse, searching the cash she had dropped in there yesterday. Where was it?! In frustration, she dumped the entire bag on her passenger seat, scattering all the contents around until she finally found that ten dollar bill. Barely glancing at the mess she would have to clean up when she returned to the car, Nessa stepped out of the car.

Blake woke up suddenly when he heard knocking downstairs. He said "Uh. . . . What in the world is that obnoxious knocking?" He decided to get up when he heard people scurrying to answer the door. He threw off his blanket and started walking slowly to the door. Once he reached the door to his bedroom, he grabbed the knob and sighed. He waited for a couple of seconds which seemed like hours to him due to being in such a state of being almost asleep and then opened the door. He walked downstairs rather quickly though, almost running, once he caught the scent of a new werewolf being at the door. He looked at everyone and asked "What in the world is going on here. And what are they doing here? Are they joining us or something of the like?"



Dakota was already up when she heard Blake's voice almost yelling about all of the commotion that was happening downstairs. She shook her head and said "Why do I have to live here with someone as obnoxious as he is? He is so loud and annoying all of the time." She just continued to get ready to start the day, paying no heed to what was going on downstairs.



Elizabeth was downstairs already, eating something to get her hunger under control, when she heard the knocking at the front door. She kept on eating until she was done and then decided to join the others and see what would happen.



Cody drove around the city with his car, answering calls for repairs. He is an electrical engineer who fixes other people's electrical problems rather cheaply due to the fact he isn't a registered electrical engineer yet but soon will be. That is why he is going to school. Well he is also a mechanical one too. You kinda have to be both if you don't have any money and have to live on your own for years on end and want to get anywhere with your life. That is what he thought anyways. Well, he was done with all of his calls except for one that was at the Silver Stream Foster Care Home. He drove there and once he got there, he parked his car on the road and got out of his car. He stopped once he seen that there was a werewolf at the front door knocking. And when he seen and smelled more werewolves answer the door, he said "Crap. This is a home for werewolves?!" He sighed and said "I still need to get in there and do the job that I am supposed to do here." He slowly walked up to the door himself in a non-threatening way and introduced himself by saying "Hello. I am Cody. The electrical engineer Mr. and Mrs. Silver called to come here and work on some things down stairs and around the house. May I talk to them please? So I don't intrude on their turf without their knowing."

OOC: Sorry for the short paragraphs. I am just trying to get my characters in there somehow.

Ashton raised an eyebrow, not able to contain the sudden and renewed smirk that swept across his lips. "I see your dilemma. Aren't there any other jobs in town besides the restaurant business? Otherwise, I could probably help a bit." He flashed a seemingly convincing smile, but the fun part of this was that Ashton could tell he probably wasn't convincing her a bit. He liked her spark and personality; it made for a fun game of comebacks, and who knew? She may turn out to be a friend. Of course, there was something off about her. What it was exactly, he didn't know for sure, since the vampire had never come across a werewolf before. He knew something was strange because of the way her lips curled, and even for a teenager born in his original time, werewolf fables weren't uncommon. Still, he was so preoccupied with messing around that he needn't bother understanding the situation at hand, or the fact that this girl could seriously injure him if she so wished.

Zac had been wandering still when he finally noticed some signs of life outside of the shops. He noticed a girl closing the door of her car as she stepped out of it, and he took his chance eagerly. Something about her seemed friendly, inviting. His only encounter with another werewolf had been in the woods when he was turned, and that hadn't been a fun experience at all. In fact, since then he had run away and lived in seclusion for the most part - other than the necessities of food and entertainment. He was still a loveable guy, nonetheless, but being naive was not something he was unused to. He knew not that this girl was a werewolf, and even if he did, he probably would have approached her all the same. She seemed nicest so far. Most other people around here looked at strangers in a weird and disapproving way, as far as Zac could tell. As he finally reached her, he said in a friendly matter, "Hey there, I'm new in town..." He really didn't know what else to say. "I don't mean to be a bother, but I have no idea where I'm going." He managed a sheepish smile.

Angela nodded at her. "You are stubborn. I admire that about you. You know what you want and you go for it. If you say you aren't going to let the cold change your clothes, I believe it." It was true. She did admire that about Bree. She admired a lot about her. It was hard not to. She knew she wasn't the only one who did. Bree was one of those awesome people who could do just about anything. Angela, on the other hand, caved to things like winter.

Lily nodded to Matt as he joined them then looked back at the new wolf. She wondered vaguely how long it'd be before the whole house was gathered at the door! If a new wolf joined them, they'd all want to be a part of it. It was always so exciting and fun to meet a newcomer!

Jimmy looked at the sandwich he had made for his lunch. He always made two. One for breakfast and another for lunch so he didn't have to bother to make it later. Feeling starved, he grabbed the other sandwich. He could make another one later. It wasn't worth not eating it now. He usually held out but today it didn't feel like something he wanted to do.
