Daisies and Daffodils.

Postby Blaze » Mon Dec 06, 2010 6:17 am

It was an ordinary day in an boring town somewhere in the world too dull to dwell upon. The town, consisting mostly of brick buildings that may have been red once but were now gray due to age and dust. It was the kind of town that people moved to for peace and quiet. The skies seemed to be perpetually overcast, the town always 5 degrees too cold, even in the middle of summer. However, it was the middle of winter right now, so it felt more like 20 degrees.

The fact that the town would soon become a warm fantasy kingdom would probably have been a comfort, except only one little girl knew that right now. And after it happened, only a few individuals would remember it.

[Okay~! To start off, just post your character waking up and going out to work or something. Anything that gets them out of the house.]

Rick was soon up and awake as the sun rose. After getting dressed and filling up his stomach with om nom noms, he left to take the bus to the Bowling Alley he works at. Today is maintanence day, so he's going to be very busy checking up the machinery and such. The man wearing a big brown jacket over 4 more players of shirts, some very baggy jeans over some really tight ones and some snow boots kept him rather warm if a bit uncomfertable as he waited at the stop.

"What are you planning?!"
"Your shelter is secure, is it?"
"Of course it is! Just see for yourself how powerless you are!"

Alan was up before the sun even rose on this cold, winter morning. At this point he was out in the middle of some woods outside of town, trying to hunt him some deer. He had yet to see any deer so far this morning, and was starting to get a bit upset about not seeing any, but, soon enough, a 9-point buck suddenly wandered nearby.

Ooh, niiiiiiice. This one's gonna be good. Alan says, before slowly and quietly taking his rifle and aiming at the buck, before firing.

Marquis stretched a little as he finished his morning exercises. Keeping his body in top shape was always something he considered important for the world of acting, since it wouldn't be good to be lax when it came to acting out something more physical. After finishing up, he made his way out of his room and down the stairs to breakfast where the other members of his family already were... and where he tended to get a lecture from his father about how acting wasn't the best career choice and whatever.

He ate breakfast a little quicker today, since he was excited about trying out for some part he had been practicing for. Stuffing the last of his food in his mouth, he excused himself and ran out of the house. After which, he was on his way to his destination... after shivering a bit and going back to get his coat. NOW he was on his way.

Richard woke up with a shiver and a sneeze, he always hated winter. Doesn't help that his favorite aunt lived in such a normally cold area either. He ate quickly and got dressed, wearing the thickest coat he could find, gloves, and a scarf he headed over to the shop. It was always slow business in the winter, so he expected to be alone in the shop for most of the time with nothing to do but clean and make sure all the perennial flowers are okay. He soon began the walk through the wind and cold outside after he was ready.
Do as I say, but not as I do.
It's perfectly safe, so keep going.

Marco had slowly got out of bed and did the morning things that he always does. Putting on the same boring stuff that he always wears for work. He has always hated this town and job but what was Marco to do. he has been doing this job for a long time.

Eventually Marco finished his breakfast and walked out the door. He got in his car but that walk was a pain as the harsh winds but was able to drive away.

Bob is in bed. Being a freelance artist, who just happens to be in between patrons at the moment, has plenty of time on his hands. His peaceful night of blissful sleep is shattered by the blaring of his alarm clock! Rolling out from underneath the covers, he whacks at the snooze button. With the awesome luck that he possess, the clock falls to the floor... and continues to blast it's unforgiving sound. His ears filled with the cacophony of madness, Bob has no choice but to get up!

...poor guy. Getting up at in the morning. He usually sleeps past noon! He goes about his morning routines... email, facebook, breakfast, and makes a call to his fiancee. He then goes on his morning jog, bringing along his camera as he always does.

Anthony woke up when his alarm went off. Though, to be far, he was already awake. One of the benefits of going to bed early was that he was never late for class. Whilst his fellow classmates may be past out drunk in bars at 2 AM, he was often long asleep. Early to bed would make a man healthy, wealthy and wise; he lived by that code. He already had one, was taking one step back to take three steps forwards on the second, and was learning the third every day. His classmates would often question why he always did well on tests, but he hadn't decided to clue them in yet that drooling on your test paper does not give you a bonus score. So he was awake when his alarm went off, and he silenced it with precision. After arising, he had his shower and got dressed for the day-this time a dark blue semi-collared shirt wut buttons on it, and beige dress-pants. Leaving early, he exited the house and headed off to Uni.

(Blarg, long week. Posting now!)

Luke was happy that, on this particularly dreary morning, he didn't have to get out of bed at any particular time. No hours at the store, no major projects going on, nothing. So, it wasn't until well past early, thought not quite to the point of being terribly late, that he rolled out of bed. He stretched languidly and pondered what to do with the day. "Hmm. Breakfast." He pulled on a pair of cargo pants and a clean t-shirt, and grabbed some nice warm socks before heading to the kitchen.

Picking through his pantry, Luke discovered something: he didn't have much in the way of food. "There's only one thing to do not... convenience store meal!" Whistling to himself, he slipped on his shoes and a heavy coat and left his apartment building, setting off down the street toward the nearby Quick Stop.

The bus drives along until it is stopped by workmen working on a burst water main. The driver sighs and turns to the passengers.

"Sorry folks. If you cut through the park you can catch the second bus on this route. Tell the driver Damien sent you and he'll let you ride free."

As he goes to fire, the deer suddenly perks it's head up and runs towards town!

The theater the play he was trying out for was just a quick cut across the local park!

THe shop was situated close to the park, requiring Richard to cut through it to get there on time!

Or so he thought! As the car starts to drive away, it breaks down! Looks like he was gonna have to walk. If he cut through the park, he could shave a few minutes off the walk.

As he jogs, he may notice the park seems to be free of frost. Maybe it was warmer?

The walk to uni was cold as usual. However walking through the park always seemed to be warmer then the rest of the trip.

The quick stop was also close to the park for convenience's sake, so it was just a quick walk through it to get there.

Luke strolls on through the park, wondering if anyone interesting was loitering around today. It was a park, you never knew.

Rick threw back his head annoyed. "Great..." he murmered as he left the bus and headed to the park. It wasn't a happy thought having to go outside in this cold, but there wasn't much he could do anyways.

Seeing this, Alan mutters a bit of a curse as the deer perks its head up, before trying to fire to catch the deer from behind.

Richard sighed and, after adjusting his scarf, walked into the park. "Ugh... Better hurry..." He said, picking up the pace and going into a jog.
