@whalekeeper This is a very odd question and something most people don’t think about, but can you describe Marcel’s eyes in depth? I don’t mean just his eye color, but the emotions that often show through; does his eyes look weary, lost, uncertain? When you begin studying people’s eyes, you notice that often, when emotion is not portrayed through the other muscles of the face, the eyes show even just a tiny spark of something. That being said, Chase always, with few exceptions, looks into the eyes of people he meets. He judges them on what their eyes look like. Anyways, that was a little long.
Chase Duke
Chase took that to mean this other boy was lonely too. His mouth twitched at one edge. He saw a girl go over to a far-away stool and order something from ‘Samuel’ out of the corner of his eye. He locked eyes with the other boy, and allowed them to slowly be infused with green. It was slight, that only if someone was paying attention would they notice, but to Chase, it was a sign of accepting this other boy.
“W-what’s your n-name? W-where a-are…you from?”
"You need French Toast."
Ellie actively avoided eye contact and hurried to the stool in the farthest corner.
uh-oh, Chase loves to get eye contact, and will sometimes stare at someone until they give it to him for at least a second. With his eyes, I think that disturbing.
"You need French Toast."
Evania
“We should go shopping!” Evania jumped up.
“For what?” Alina asked, not looking up. She was now drawing a flower on her sister’s paper.
Evania began pacing the room, going on with an explanation.
“What if we go to the dance?” She recommended.
“No!” Alina said decidedly. “You can go, but you may be alone.”
Alina
Her sister tried on every dress in the store it seemed. Alina was hungry, mad and bored all at the same time.
“You done in there?” Alina asked as patiently as she could.
“A moment please.” Evania called from the dressing room.
Evania came out with an olive green dress that had a long circle skirt, long bishop sleeves and a thick black belt.
Alina facepalmed.
“You can’t wear that to a dance!”
“I beg to differ.” Evania argued. “It’s exquisite and it’s on sale!”
Evania got back into her normal clothes and walked happily out the store with the dress in a bag.
“I can’t believe you got that.” Alina said, walking beside her sister. “Can we get some lunch now? I’m so hungry.”
Evania gasped.
“What?” Alina asked, concern filled her voice.
“Let’s go get pizza.”
Alina rolled her eyes.
“I’m glad you want it cause that’s what we’re getting.”

Livia
She didn’t know what was wrong with her. She couldn’t stop looking at Lukas. She felt like a creep, but his eyes captivated her like nothing ever had before. She could feel Xandro breathing on her neck from behind her, and she dreaded what he would do next.
She was zoning out, trying to get a grip on her emotions, when Lukas’s voice yanked her back to reality. “I’ll probably just tag along with you guys. Because I don’t have anyone to go with,” he looked right at Liv. His gaze was so alarming that it was all she could do not to flinch.
Behind her, Xandro made a noise that sounded like laughter.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Lol sure, I can describe his eyes here for you! I usually try not doing that on this roleplay, because I actually have a tendency to describe the eyes in detail. And it’s funny, I would say a lot of people do the same. Maybe that’s just me. Personally it becomes an easy way out for me when describing emotions (although obviously people write their own way), and I like to challenge myself with other forms of body language. But yeah, I can do that here, since it’s fun and Chase would prefer getting a get look at him.
@loopylin tooMarcel
Marcel shoved his hands in his pockets. “Marcel. I’m from a planet called Baztet.
A pastel city landscape, with strange magic, and even stranger office spaces. But somehow Marcel knew he couldn’t communicate the full beauty of his world, no matter how hard he tried. And he was okay with that.
His pink-laced lashes half covered his eyes, as if he were very relaxed, almost sleepy. “And you are from?”
“Everything is a mountain”
Chase Duke
“I-I’m from Shyton, on Wond. Don’t know any other planets.” He hid his stutter. Maybe talking like normal people wasn’t so bad. “Uhh…What is the definition of a ‘ normal conversation’ to you?”
"You need French Toast."
Marcel
Marcel blinked. “We’re having one right now.”
“O-Oh.” Chase dipped his head under his hood.
“If no one is normal around here,” the pink-haired boy added with a small curl of the mouth, “then it’s normal to have a strange conversation. Don’t you think?”
“Everything is a mountain”
It’d be funny if Fynn and Chase ended up in the same dorm. XD I think Fynn has other people in his dorm, including Lukas, but I can’t remember who. Maybe @whalekeeper ‘s Marcel and… I think there’s another one…

Chase Duke
“No, I don’t. Usually make conversation. Not even with my ther–” He was going to say therapist, but did Marcel need to know that? Chase tensed and shuddered.
"You need French Toast."
I like that idea! Trouble is getting Chase to admit he was planning to sleep in the hallway.
"You need French Toast."
Felicity
Felicity smiled genuinely at her friend. “I mean, I’m certainly no expert on this whole fashion thing, but I think you look gorgeous.”
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
Ah, true, lol. Fynn will probably make some joke about it and Chase will be like “Um…” XD
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I FREAKED OUT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! haha! (i managed to stifle my scream of joy XD)
LOL! When I wrote it I did too 🤣 I was like, “Lukassss!! Fynn was right!!”
I’m just waiting for Lukas to work up the courage to ask her….or Fynn (or Xandro!!) to force him into it lol!
XD Lol. I think it’s coming soon…
Lukas
The foursome engaged in casual conversation as they ate lunch. Lukas couldn’t help but glance over Liv from time to time.
Once they were done eating, they strolled through the mall again.
Fynn fell in step beside Lukas, leaving the girls to walk in front of them. “Hey, you gonna ask her?”
Lukas’s cheeks burned bright red. “Wh-what? A-ask who?”
Fynn rolled his eyes. “You know who I mean. Here, I’ll help you out.” He got Callista’s attention. “Callie, come here for a sec. I want to show you something in this store.” He grabbed her hand and dragged her away. She cast a shrug towards Liv before disappearing into the store with him.
Lukas and Livia stood in an awkward silence for a moment. Lukas cleared his throat. “So, uh, you’re going to the dance…” It was a more of a statement than a question.
“Yeah. I am.” Liv nodded, looking up at him for a moment, then looking back down at the floor.
Lukas nodded slowly, scrambling for something else to say. “I guess you’re going with Callista and Fynn.”
“I guess so.”
“I am too.”
Lukas could hear Fynn’s voice in his head, telling him to just ask her already. He ran his hand halfway through his hair, then shoved it into his pocket. “We probably should, uh, just let them have their own night together…”
“Yeah…”
“Maybe we could dance together— o-or we could just hang out— I don’t know if you w-want to or-or not, but I—” He let out a sigh and met her eyes. “Livia, will you go to the dance with me?”

OH MY GOODNESS. OH. MY. GOODNESS. HE ASKED HER!!!!!!!I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
Livia
“Livia, will you go to the dance with me?” Lukas asked.
Liv gasped. “Of course!” she smiled, and threw her arms around him, only too late realizing that that might not have been appropriate. “Sorry,” she laughed. Xandro bugled with triumph. “Okay, buddy, you win,” Livia smiled at him and rubbed his nose. “You were right,” she sighed. Xandro grunted as if to say, of course I was right!
“Now we have to break the news to Fynn,” Liv joked.
“Yeah, he’s gonna be really proud of me,” Lukas laughed and shook his head.
“Or we could just not tell him,” Liv smirked. “Then he can’t make fun of us.”

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333Hugo
Hugo stopped just before they turned onto the correct street, and headed towards the fountain bench where he had left Sebastian. He didn’t explain their change of direction to the two new boys, but they seemed content to wander casually, if not aimlessly.
Sure enough, there Seb sat. His eyes were squeezed shut, and he seemed to be whispering something under his breath. He looked so small and overwhelmed, Hugo was tempted to grab and hide him somewhere.
But right then, Seb opened his eyes and straightened, glaring sparks at the three of them. “About time. Hugo, who are these people?”
Hugo’s eyes widened with mirth as he realized his own forgetfulness. “Why, I forgot to ask! What should we call you two?“
Seb continued to glare.
“I am Calligripho, at your service,” the scribe boy chimed in.
The Tienin paused, as if considering his best move. He eventually shrugged, and answered, “Dante.”
“Ah, Calligripho and Dante!” Hugo crossed one leg neatly behind the other and grinned. “I am Hugo Angelo, and this is my ward, the dashing young Sebastian. Let’s go.”
As they walked, he leaned over his brother and whispered, “We are going to a shop together, and you will be a member of our gang.”
“You wish.”
Hugo smiled up at their two acquaintances, to assure them nothing was wrong. Then he hissed, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know.” The scruffy kid rubbed at his shoulder. “I don’t… don’t feel good.”
“How?”
“I think my brain is growing again.”
That was code for, I can’t think, I can’t gauge myself. Please don’t upset me.
After a moment of eye contact, both of them turned to focus on the walk.
The shop windows ahead of them sparkled with jars of sundae toppings and rich chocolate. It looked like most of the tables inside remained empty, however. Perhaps the perfectly sunny day had something to do with it.
Hugo held open the door for the other boys. As Dante passed, he noticed the imp boy’s bare feet, and almost immediately offered, “I’ll pay. Is that cool with you?”
Babs
Babs let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. She beamed, and brushed the smooth fabric of sunlight. “Calvin is going to think I’m so silly. I just hope his suit color won’t look too different. What do you think Lois will wear?”
Marcel
“Neither do I.” Marcel spoke the truth.
Somehow, this boy was on the verge of a nervous collapse – steadily balancing on the edge. His face looked pale, and his hands fidgeted on the tabletop.
But Marcel wasn’t about to judge. His best friend had once told him, sometimes people need to be treated normally.
Not a lot of people treated Marcel like a normal kid.
Instead, he was the one pretending everything was peachy. Someone had to take the first step – be the brave one.
So Marcel didn’t say anything. He put a bottle of blue raspberry soda on the table next to Chase, and pressed his head back against the cushioned seat. He let his snow feathers curl out of his sweater neck and twist around his cheeks.
The kid could talk when he wanted to.
“Everything is a mountain”
Evania
“Don’t you think we should try and… talk to people?”
The thought seemed tremendously terrifying, but she couldn’t help but say it excitedly and wear a brighter smile at the thought, back where they were from, the sisters hardly spoke to anyone. Mainly due to the reason most people weren’t exactly friendly.
The two girls walked through the mall into a cafe.
“What do you mean exactly?” Alina questioned. “I’m not going to that dance. And where did you take us? I see no pizza.”
“I’m going, even if it’s just for the experience.” Evania said passionately, ignoring the fact she had instead led her sister to a cafe, she added, “We don’t know anyone except for each other and I don’t consider that a good thing.”
After ordering, the sisters sat down at a table near the front of the building with coffee and sandwiches.
Alina twisted her long wavy blonde hair into a braid and then picked up her coffee, taking a sip.
“This tastes like the energy I don’t have… because you drain my energy with your exuberant personality.”
“I’m not the crazy one.” Evania said. “You’re the one with a bioluminescent drawing on your arm.”
“No,” Alina said, biting her sandwich, “That… that was an accident, I drew it… it’s just a little stuck on me.”
“It’s been a month and it’s still vividly glowing.”
“Proves nothing.”
After finishing they left the cafe and headed back to their dorm, Evania was ecstatic about the thought of going to the dance, she hated a crowd, but she loved being around people. Maybe she would make a friend or two even, if she didn’t scare them off.
