{ ooc: i'm sorry all of y'all are literally having such a bad time. }
- Kiaran had been dozing in the backseat, alternating between wakefulness and a state of being uncomfortably half-asleep, head lolling onto Jordan's shoulder. He missed the first half of Alex's speech, dislodging his earbuds and clambering out of the car and into the cool city air. The chill managed to wake him up a bit, and he stretched, grunting and beginning to walk around to the back of the car.
"Only two suitcases, Jord?" he quipped, rocking back and forth on his heels as he waited for his turn to pull his things out of the trunk.
He made no mention that he himself had brought three bags, if a guitar case counted as a bag, but it was generally no secret that he was a bit more high maintenance than just about everybody on the trip. One would think that he, someone who had moved around for most of their young life, and traveled more than that, would be used to packing light, but he was an outlier in that aspect. He felt safe if he had a lot of familiar things with him, and even just squeezing past Jordan and Alex to grab ahold of his backpack made him feel a bit better.

Jordan stepped aside as Kiaran pushed between her and Alex. "Why don't you just go back to sleep? Do you need me to carry you into the house and then tuck you into bed?" she asked. The words weren't meant to be harsh, and they weren't spoken with a harsh tone of voice, but sitting in a car for so long wore Jordan's patience down. She bought most people were a bit irritable after a long ride.
She sighed and pulled her backpack onto her shoulders and extended the handle of her suitcase. "So, this whole sleeping arrangement? I just don't need to share with Kiaran. He slept on me enough in the van. I don't want to wake up at two in the morning because he decided my stomach would be more comfortable than his pillow," she teased, nudging the older boy and grinning. Now that they were out of the car, her joking attitude had returned. "Anyway, I claim the middle bedroom, so anyone can feel free to join me. Im always willing to share," she said, tossing a wink at the three guys and then laughing.
She really didn't have much to pack. Clothes. A book or two. Personal items. Her laptop was still in he backseat of the van. She reminded herself to grab it before it got dark outside.
"So, Captain Alex, what's the plan for the day?" she asked, looking between Kiaran and Alex. "If there are no plans, I got you covered. My trusty list has a few ideas," she teased, knowing neither of the boys would be jumping at the chance to help her complete the list.

- "Yeah, please," Kiaran replied, taking his guitar case in one hand, and his actual suitcase in the other, backing up, "bring me some warm milk while you're at it too."
He backed up as Jordan nudged him, stepping up and onto the sidewalk so that the others could get there things out, and he wouldn't be in the way with his armada of baggage. "Excuse me? You're not a pleasure to sleep by either, elbows," he joked, having the distinct memory of being jostled in wakefulness by one of Jordan's appendages more than once during the ride.
At the mention of Jordan's "trusty list," he smiled. He knew that she was always the man with the plan. Really, he enjoyed just going with the flow, taking a cab to a random part of the city and exploring, but the rest of the group seemed to like to have a plan. At least, that's what he gathered from the few times that they'd all been together at once. With his busy schedule and his family sort of being everywhere, he only got to do this kind of thing with them once in a blue moon.
"I don't think we have a plan... do we, Alex?"

(And also Jordan can't stand snoring.
I honestly don't know who'd be best for her to sleep with. Like obviously she doesn't want to share with Kiaran and I think Simon would be scared of her and Alex would be fun
But I don't really know the other girls so I'm kinda leaning towards her sharing with a guy XD)

(Poor Kiaran. I mean he could sleep on the couch? It'd put him alone but if anyone wakes up before him they'd probably make too much noise and wake him up? Idk his sleeping habits.
I don't even know jordans sleeping habits yet XD)

(Simon would probably have no idea what to do and just wait until everyone chooses then go into a room lol)
Simon hadn't really been paying attention to Alex when he was giving instructions, still having his own earbuds in. He didn't even realize that he was the last one on the van until he looked up and found that he was the only one there. He let out an alarmed yelp, grabbing his two duffle bags and backpack, scrambling the fast he could off of the mini van and hung behind the others. He pulled a singular earbud out, hearing Jordan said she had her list of ideas that they could use if Alex didn't have any.
"Oh No, no, no. Half of those are illegal I bet!" Simon responded in alarm, eyes wide as he fixed his glasses and took his place next to Jordan. He'd been dragged on one too many of Jordans adventures for her list that he knew that they would be a bit extreme for the first day in New York. Most of them were too extreme for Simon in the first place. Maybe they weren't all illegal, he was just over exaggerating a bit, but he would still prefer their first day to be just a little bit more relaxed than what Jordan probably had planned.
Of course if she did have some less adventurous ideas for the first day he'd be down, but he had a feeling they would be like riding motorcycles with strangers and dropping something off of the Empire State building. So he was a little hesitant when it came to her fantastic ideas.

- "Her plans are fun because they're illegal," Kiaran tutted, glancing over at Simon and then back to Jordan, trying to remember a time when they hadn't done something that was dubiously against the law when they'd all been together.
Hm, no, he couldn't remember one, but he did always remember Simon being the one to protest them doing the illegal thing. Did he have fun in the end? Well, Kiaran didn't know, because he wasn't Simon. In all honesty, Simon was one of the ones in the friend group that he didn't actually know that well, being that he was unfortunately absent from so many of their little get togethers. It was a freaking miracle that he'd been able to get away to do this. He was pretty swamped, with school and all.

(I have to read a bunch of books for my Childrens lit class, do a discussion for my intro to library media and write a script today for my conspiracy class xD We're all swamped/ Good luck with the video tho, hopefully it won't be too boring!)
"It's not gonna be fun when we have to call our families and tell them that we need to be bailed out of jail," He retorted, although his argument seemed like it was only at half the strength as it should be. He was always the naysayer, the one who tried to keep everything nice and safe and legal just because he was always watching out for others and praying that the plans wouldn't go horribly wrong.
Simon didn't say parents, either, knowing that everyones relationship with their families were a bit different. Simon himself hadn't lived with his mother since his junior year of high school, but he didn't like to talk about that time. The only thing he could say was that things got better for him and his baby sister, Layla, when they moved in with their uncles that year. He glanced at Kiaran, the one in the group he knew the least and decided that he would try and get to know him better on this trip.
(They really are siblings xD)

Except I'm not sure how long Simon would last with Jordan and her brother and cousin XD)

The whole thing with planes had perked her interest long enough for her to watch the take-off as well as the landing, but otherwise her eyes seem glued to some form of technology. From her phone to her tablet, she was often doing some sort of thing. Taking out her stylus or attachable keyboard and typing seemingly faster than the speed of sound, one ear-bud in her ear to listen to music, the other to pay attention in case she needed to look up from her screen. Olivia was quiet for the trip, not having too much of a comment, maybe making a sarcastic remark here or there on a topic of conversation. However, her focus was mostly on her technology, as you might expect.
Upon the van stopping, her brown eyes darted up to look at Alex, locking her phone and putting her tablet as well as the gadgets for it in her side bag that she typically had on her. She raised an eyebrow at the thought of sharing a room with someone, however, she just shrugged it off. It wasn't like it was going to be that bad of an ordeal that she'd complain about it. Unless her room-mate snored, it was going to be fine. No touching and no snoring were the only requirements from her. As well as insensitivity to light due to her typically being up nearly until dawn often on her laptops.
"I don't really care about the rooms, I'll make my own room if I have to. I call the third room. Feel free to join me if that's what you want," were her accented words of her view on the whole thing, putting her phone in her black coat pocket and grabbing her large array of baggage, half of it being things for her laptops. Home away from home, right? This was certainly bigger than the little town in Rhode Island, but it appeared that it was quite a bit larger than even Puebla, which was where she was originally from. "I'll warn you, if you touch me I will not be responsible if you end up on the floor with only a spare blanket." Her personal space meant quite a bit to her, if you couldn't tell.

[ i mean, i don't think she minds sharing, she just doesn't want her personal space invaded. that and she's not the best room-mate. she's up late and up early, usually always working on something with her laptop or phone, which means the clicking of fingers on a keyboard or multiple keyboards and then soft mutterings in Spanish as she does these things or messes up sometimes. and she's a hypocrite due to being very snoopy and very quick to pounce on the ability to do it. the second you invade her personal privacy, however, she won't be happy. she doesn't really have a temper, but she's... she's quite a character. ]

- "Well, I'm gonna go and claim a bed," Kiaran began, after both Simon and Olivia had finished talking, putting up both of his bag laden hands and turning on his heels, beginning towards the renter, "follow me if you dare. I'm a covers hog."
He jogged up the short flight of stairs, clumsily pulling out and using the key which Alex had given him, and given to everyone else on the trip, that would let them inside. He unlocked the door, glanced over his shoulder at his friends, and stepped in. The renter was nice, all of them having chipped in from their meager savings to get it. In his immediate line of sight was a living room, a kitchen, and what was probably a bathroom or laundry room or something.
But, Kiaran headed for the stairs, beginning upwards at a clipped place, and pushing his way into the first room that he saw. It was a good size, definitely big enough for two people, and he dropped his stuff on the hardwood floor, sitting down on the bed for a moment.
