Equinox: A Twilight RPG

Who: Alice and Jasper
What: Being zen and probably quoting Gone With the Wind
Where: Out in the woods near the Cullen house
When: August 18

Alice was out in the woods sitting on a picnic table that was a bit of a landmark around the Cullen house. Meeting at the picnic table, not going past the picnic table, spending time alone at the picnic table. The only thing that would have made it better is if it were a door to Narnia as well. It sat in a small clearing, surrounded by trees and there was a creek running about fifteen from it.

Alice was sitting cross legged directly in the center of it with her eyes closed trying to see something. Anything. Everything was a jumble and it was frustrating her to no end. Her visions had turned into a mess of a mess of a mess and she thought the quiet serenity might do her some good. She was taking in the sounds of the birds, the sound of the creek and trying to focus. But it seemed like everything was just out of reach. She didn't even know Jasper was on his way down to see her, in fact, she was so engrossed in trying to see something that she didn't even hear him approaching.

Who: Jasper and Emmett
What: They're SUPPOSED to be finalizing music mixes. Instead they start whispering.
Where: The dining room at the Cullen house
When: August 6, 10:38 AM

Emmett was sitting at the head of the table with his laptop computer in front of him, Jasper was sitting to the right of him with his computer as well. They were pretty much goofing off and occasionally playing each other songs (none of which were appropriate for the wedding) and laughing rather hysterically. They had two mixes going, one of "Emmett Cullen's wedding spectacular" And one of "Jasper Hale's Top 25 songs you never want to play at a wedding." They were going to be playing a mix of both during the reception. Funny how the song "Thriller" ended up on both of their mixes.

Edward came downstairs and announced he was running a quick errand on behalf of Mistress Wedding Planner and once Emmett heard the car leave the driveway he lowered his voice and started whispering. "Hey Jasper? Did it ever occur to you that as long as we've known Edward we've NEVER seen him bring a girl home?" he asked hoping Jasper would at least be able to connect the dots and see where he was going with this line of discussion. "And not to mention that as often as Bella's stayed over here, or he's been at her place he's STILL ridiculously uptight?"

Who: Alice and Jasper
What: Take a pill and chillax Alice!
Where: Their room at the Cullen abode
When: June 30, 12:45 PM

Alice and Jasper's room (and two other rooms in the house) had been turned into "wedding central" there were white boards, poster boards, fabric swatches and pictures of food and invitations etc etc etc. To say Alice had been stressed out was putting it mildly, she wasn't stressed about the wedding so much as she was about throwing it together in two months. From what she could tell it was going to be okay, everything would work out just fine, but she didn't use that as an excuse to get lazy!

The only time she really calmed down is when it was just her and Jasper taking a walk, or just simply being around each other. He relaxed her, and put his powers on top of that and she was as moldable as silly putty. She hoped that everyone understood why this was such a big deal for her, Bella was her best friend really. She was joining their family in more ways than one, and Edward was not going to spend his forevers all alone. Edward and her were very close, and to see him so happy made her want to do things for him even more than usual. She'd give her right arm over to him if he asked, and to be able to throw him the wedding he deserved and had EARNED it was her pleasure.

Even if Bella was a bit reluctant, she would talk to her about that because it wasn't very nice, it was understandable, but she wanted Bella comfortable too. She just wanted everything perfect, she wanted everyone there to see how happy Bella and Edward were with each other. And how amazing this whole thing was, how lucky they were to have found each other. And when it came time for Bella to say her goodbyes, she wanted her family and friends to feel comfortable with it. At least a little bit. Alice recognized that this was more than just a wedding, and she wanted the others to figure that out too. Her methods were a bit...Excitable, but she did what she could to reel herself in.

She was currently lounging on the big fluffy white love seat that was in their bedroom watching "A Wedding Story" on TV and ignoring the fact that her family was downstairs discussing her. They hadn't done that in while, and she almost felt guilty for all the times they'd sat around discussing her brothers and sister at one time or another. She knew that Jasper would be up shortly to offer her some advice, some loving adoration, and tell her to chill out for a bit. They were wavering between just asking her to tone it down, and flat out telling her to give it a rest for a while. She didn't MEAN to wear everyone out, but she knew she was. She was quick to admit that she could be a little "larger than life" despite the fact that she was tiny. She had too much on her plate, and she recognized that. She already had her mea culpas prepared by the time she heard Jasper walking up the stairs. When he opened the door she turned and smiled brightly at him. "So...What's to become of Alice Cullen? Am I banished from Verona?" She asked cheerfully as she tucked her legs closer to herself so he'd have a spot to sit on the love seat.
