I am so pumped for this game to be starting up again. That break was needed and I feel ready to go. :D So, here's a summer update. I'm going to do a little explaining but gonna keep it brief because I probably have too many characters of reasons.
Here goes!
ALEX JIANG (nanwu) → Alex spent all summer in China learning how to use his abilities to start healing people. He can't cure everyone and everything, but it's a start in a new direction that he's sort of taken to. He's really good at screwing things up (I mean, the boy just has to open his mouth or get in front of a keyboard), but it's going down a path where he feel like he might be doing something right. He's been radio silent to his friends, even when he's had reception, and has been doing a lot of thinking. But what will transpire? :O What will come of all this?
CAITLIN MURPHY (sidhepurrs) → Caitlin avoided going home by signing up for a summer course, which she skipped more than a few classes of because ugh, she doesn't care. She hung out with Van pretty often and has left him a dead animal or two with no explanation involved. She still hates pretty much everyone, but there are people she doesn't hate. Who else stayed over the summer? :O
DR. CRESSIDA HALLOWFEN (magikos) → Cressida traveled a bit, visiting her family in England and some other Followers of Hecate in Greece before joining Sorin and the others to take down Anton Castle. The results of which were successful in some ways, but really sad in others. She returned home to bear the news that Sorin died and then retreated to her bungalow where Micah kept her company until she could release the grief she'd been holding in. Since then, she's been preparing for the new school year.
DANA NOVAK (nimfa) → Dana spent a lot of her summer in Poland with her family, doing what nymphs and satyrs do. She was also waiting for Sorin to join her, since he was supposed to come live with her family there. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out that way. Micah informed Dana about it and she . . . hasn't been handling it well. She wasn't going to come back, but she was convinced to finish school since she worked so hard to go there. She's back at the school but with summer waning, autumn approaching, and quite possibly her favorite person in the world dead, Dana is a hot mess.
FELICITY BAINBRIDGE (labelledame) → Felicity spent all summer in Norway, which was supposed to be awesome but nooooooo, Gil had to up and dip out. She tried to help Galad by sparring with him, but the last straw was Gil not attending the Wild Hunt, which is like the biggest event of the year for all the elves. Oh shiiiiiiit. Since then, Galad has been increasingly cold toward Felicity, and then he just left her with his parents while he went to find Gil. So the rest of her summer sucked and she hasn't seen Galad since he left. She's pretty pissed off and she's channeling that anger into personal film projects.
RAFE FARROWE (redensign) → Rafe was supposed to join Sorin and the others but he's sort of taken James into his care and so he stayed behind to teach sailing and keep an eye on the boy. He is going to be contacting individuals regarding mentorship in the near future. So, you know, brace yourselves for what that'll be like. XD He heard about Sorin from parts of his former crew that went to help. He is putting on a good face but he's understandably upset as Sorin was one of his students in his house.
RYUUKO HARTLEY (ryuuko) → Ryu spent most of her summer in Maine, which is what she didn't want to do. The Hartleys were supposed to go to Antarctica and then Australia, but because Wendy is a wendigo and can't leave his home turn for long, they had to go back because he was real sick. So yeah, Ryu is ticked about that because she never got to see Australia, and she had to suck it up because she's a "big sister." XD Dammiiiit. She probably went swimming from time to time during the summer when allowed and read a bunch of books and wrote letters to Ashton telling him that Wendy is a pansy. >_>
Phew! That's done!
Muah! So happy to see so many of your wonderful faces again! :D
