((Holy cow, Glowing Chests sounds so interesting - I kinda want to use my charrie Ari (trans gay guy) for Character A, 'cause he can be super cruel to people who annoy him (those he perceives as stupid or liars) and likes to get into fights, if that's cool)) ☃️OOC:☃️ Alrighty! I'm debating between using Kai, Ty, or like...maybe Jonah, I'll probably go with Jonah, he's the most likely to get bullied.

((Sounds good! Since there's a locker room involved, I'm assuming a high school sport? To be honest I'm thinking dance, bc that's what Ari'd be taking. Do you mind starting? I'd love to see Jonah's character and see why Ari would bully him (because Ari is the kind of person to hand-pick his victims ^.^'')))

☃️OOC:☃️ That'll work, I can picture teenage Jonah in dance.
☃️IC:☃️ Jonah Applegate couldn't exactly say that had been all that fun...he had sprained his ankle and the teacher told him to take it easy for the rest of the day and now he was in the locker room, seated down on the bench with his leg propped up as he looked at the ankle. Yeah it didn't look all that great to the blond, but it could be a lot worse, he could keep it up. He wasn't about to give dance up because of an ankle anyways...he really needed these extra credits if he wanted to get in to the college he had been hoping for. Which...well, even getting there was a really long, tiring, and unlikely process. In the end he didn't even know if he would be allowed to go, he may have to stay back and help with the farm.
His father wasn't doing all that great anyways, it was likely Jonah would have to give up his career path to help out. Sure it wasn't really what he wanted but he could manage...He let out a sigh. "Don't think of that Jonah, focus on the now like ma keeps telling you," he told himself with a small shake of his lightly dusted in freckled head. He has always had a problem of focusing on the present instead of either a) worrying about, or fantasizing about the future.

☃️IC:☃️ As the timer reached one minute, and then less than so, Mavis...she couldn't do it, she couldn't meet her soulmate, so what did she do? She bolted away from the park, running as fast as she can, pausing to glance at her timer again, it had froze, before it started ticking backwards, back to one minute, and then a minute and a half...Mavis lips turned upwards in a relieved smile before she started off in the direction she had gone in, keeping her gaze locked on timer as it continued to tick back in time, making her feel all the more relieved as it did.
Kyra glanced down at it with a sad sigh fighting back her tears and continued to help the children. She comforted a young girl who lived nearby who had gotten bullied on the walk here. She kept glancing at her timer but it just kept moving backward. She realized she would have to keep looking, she hoped that she could find whoever it was at a coffee shop she was going to ride her bike to after this.

☃️IC:☃️ Kenneth paused, he...he had definitely heard those words before...well not heard them, but he had read them over and over again many times before and brought his wrist over to tug his sleeve down and look at the words on his wrist. That-that had been it, word for word. Wait...did that mean? No...it couldn't be...Kenneth looked back over at the man over at the table and stared at him for a few seconds before signing an apology over to him, he didn't know what to do in this case. Because the words on his right wrist were the same ones this man had just said, which meant...well it meant he could be staring over at his soulmate. Chris would've disagreed with that idea. But mostly because he was a stubborn butt who'd long since gotten used to the idea that he'd die alone. He felt a little guilty when the other man used his hands to apologize rather than his voice: he was mute. "Just, be a little more careful." He finally sighed, turning back to his meal. Not everyone was as forgiving and as kind as him. Pfft.

☃️IC:☃️ Mavis didn't know where to go, but she knew it had to be anywhere that kept pressing back the clock and the clock did keep going back and back and back. She didn't know what to do...she...she panicked, she just couldn't meet her soulmate, she didn't know why but she wasn't ready, she just wasn't ready and maybe she didn't even want to meet her soulmate.
-
Kenneth really didn't know what to do at this point and so he stayed where he was for a few short seconds before he turned around to face Kirby, pausing again before looking back at the guy. He started back over to the table and gave a sort of nervous smile once he got there and tapped slightly on the table to get his attention. How-how was he supposed to proceed? Hope he understood sign language? Show him his wrist? He wasn't sure.

Chris looked up, confused, "hm?" He said, meeting the black-haired man's gaze, "what's up?" His eyes darted over Kenneth. Why was he coming back? Chris sorta wanted to be left alone right now. Left in peace to stuff himself then run off to wherever he needed to be. Talking to strangers was just awkward when he didn't have to. It was awkward even when he had to, to be honest.

☃️OOC:☃️ Works or me, did you wanna start?
☃️IC:☃️ Kenneth figured he might as well go with the second option and rolled up his right sleeve to his elbow and moved so his possible soulmate could read the words on his wrist. This was awkward, at least there wasn't a real way to tip toe around it, and Kenneth almost smirked as he realized that out orvhid siblings, most of them being older than him, he was the second to find his soulmate. Of course...it would have been even cooler if he had been the first, but hey-this was Kenneth luck for ya.

☃️IC:☃️ Mavis had chosen to ignore her timer for the time being that is until she entered the coffee shop and waited in the time. She ended up feeling a little fidgety and glanced down at her timer all the same. Only to find that it was about one minute away again, which meant her soulmate had to be here...in the coffee shop, and the brunette almost instantly panicked, rushing out of the coffee shop as fast as humanly possible, she almost ran into the door on her way out, but she couldn't meet her soulmate, not now...possibly not ever.

At first, Chris had winced away because, well, awkward. Showing other people your words was sort of frowned upon. It was private stuff after all. Why do you think those dorky wristbands had stayed in style past the 80s?
But curiosity killed the Chris, and he read Kenneth's words anyway.
Okay.
Um...
"Listen man, you got the wrong guy," Chris pushed his chair away from the table and away from the burning words on the other man's wrist, "it's not the most unusual thing to say, especially if you're going around whacking people with chairs all the time." He laughed, a stilted, awkward one, "and you know, I don't got one." He waved his arm a little, "Nothing. So, well, good luck. I guess. Aha."
He stood, flustered. Yeah. This wasn't really...
He didn't have one. He spent his entire life knowing he didn't have one. Having one would ruin his plans. It would make his mental preparations be for exactly nothing. And he wasn't ready for that.

☃️IC:☃️ Kenneth frowned and huffed slightly. Sure maybe it would be a bit of a common sentence...but-but he said he didn't have one, and-and Kenneth, he couldn't speak, nothing would be on his soulmate's wrist, he had already gone over this so many times. How could he not see that? He didn't exactly know what to do so he just started signing, hoping that for some reason, the guy understood what he was saying.
Which was something like this: But I can't talk, so nothing would be on your wrist, I'm Kenneth, by the way, and don't you think it's a bit more of a coincidence that you don't have anything on your wrists, and I'm mute and what you first said to me is on my wrist?
This...he didn't know how well this was going, but hopefully he was right about this...otherwise this was going to be really awkward...and if he didn't know sign language, he could go get Kirby, she would be willing to help.

"Aha, sorry man, I don't..." Chris laughed again, a little bit panicky, He tried to follow Kenneth's quick hands, but he didn't understand ASL in the slightest. "You seem like a nice guy. Good luck." He picked up his bag of food, rubbing the back of his head and sending his glasses askew in the process. "It's just..."
Chris didn't really want to see the logic. That yeah, it made sense that he didn't have any words, if his soul mate was a mute. But he pushed that idea away.
"I'm just..." He coughed once, considering hightailing it out of there. So what if he got a few crumbs on a speaker? Wouldn't be the end of the world.
What was he thinking, it would be.

☃️IC:☃️ Kenneth made a motion with his hands to try and get him to stop, before he quickly started off to grab his sister, just hoping having her there would help things and not make hence worse and it wasn't long before he had dragged his older sister back over, quickly signing to her as Kirby just nodded along in understanding before looking over at the person who Kenneth believed to be his soulmate.
"First...hi, I'm Kirby, this is Kenneth, I'm his sister," she introduced awkwardly, smiling slightly. "Um, I'm just here to translate...Kenny-you know, I kinda feel like I'm intruding, so here's what I'm going to do," Kirby said as she turned to her brother and pulled out a notebook and a pencil from her purse, passing them to Kenneth. "Have fun, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat," she said, before starting off, leaving them there though Kenneth was sure she was going to be watching.
He looked back over at the man, giving a sort of smile as he just stood there.

☃️IC:☃️ Mavis only had to glance at her timer once to freak out. She was just walking down the city. It seemed like the universe really wanted her to meet her soulmate and she wasn't ready, so she took off again, forgetting to check her wrist as she ran in a random direction, maybe she needed to move...not like she could with the orphanage and all, but she could sure try, honestly by now it just happened naturally. Her timer started to get closer and she ran for it.

Kyra didn't even notice her timer start to move when a girl knocked into her pushing her aside. She shook her head seeing her timer at 0 out of the corner of her eye. She sprung up and said "Wait. don't leave, please don't" she said it in an almost begging manner her mismatched eyes on the verge of tears of joy. She saw Mavis and felt an instant connection to everything about her.

"Crap," she said under her breath before standing up on slightly wobbly legs as she looked over at the girl in front of her. "Um...hi," she mustered out awkwardly, looking down at her feet. Well there wasn't much she could really do now, not when she had finally met her soulmate.

"H-hello.... I'm Kyra Williams. And I would love to take you out for coffee or a snack sometime and get to know you" she blushed lightly "that was a little overwhelming wasn't it... oh... i'm sorry. I-I'm just so excited..." she stuttered the last bit. She didn't want to start them off by screwing things up.

Chris paused, hemming and hawwing over this decision.
He...had really wanted one. When he was a teenager. But...ugh. He wasn't too sure about changing everything.
... "Alright." Chris said. There was a slim chance he could do this and not royally screw it up, "I'm Chris. You're Kenneth?" He set down his bag of chicken nuggets. "Sorry, I guess. I just...well...spent my entire life thinking I'd die alone." Yup, just lay it all out there. Sure, some of the people without soulmates would find each other tolerable and get married to each other. But those marriages...weren't exactly famed for success. Chris had long since decided he would focus on work instead. He sat and gestured to the chair across from his: "sit." He offered.

☃️IC:☃️ Mavis glanced behind her. She could still bolt...and it wasn't like she didn't feel the odd connection between them but she...she just wasn't ready for a soulmate. However, she also couldn't think of anything to get out of it. "Um...alright, I guess. I'm Mavis...by the way," she added as her dark blue eyes ended up looking back down at the ground as if she was seriously contemplating wether her shoes were good or not.
- Kenneth quickly sat down, staring intently on the notebook as he flipped it open to an open page. Yeah...that must have been awful, thinking he didn't even have a soulmate. Though it wasn't like there was anything Kenneth could do about that so he really didn't feel guilty or anything. Considering there was nothing he could do to help with that. He didn't choose to be born mute. That just happened. Chris...he has a nice name though, much nicer than Kenneth...though his parents were awful with names, none of his siblings had what he would consider good names.

"Mavis" she whispered liking how the name rolled off her tongue. "Umm... here i started carrying this around just in case. I-if you decide I'm worth talking to ever again" she said sliding a paper with her phone number, email, and skype on it into the other girl's pocket. She was usually fairly outgoing but she felt shy, and as though she wasn't quite good enough for the girl in front of her. Nevermind all her charity work, nevermind all the bully victims she stood up for, nevermind everything in her life. She felt like all of that could never be enough for Mavis.

☃️OOC:☃️ Man these two are so different. XD Mavis had done...like nothing for others, she tends to keep to herself. Very introverted and naturally shy girl.
☃️IC:☃️ Mavis gave a small little nod. "Yeah...okay," she agreed, feeling the need to wash her hands because she was seriously germaphobic and she had fallen to the ground, however she also couldn't exactly show how much of a clean freak she was in front of her...soulmate, so she would just have to put up for it. Mavis didn't usually care about what other people thought, hence why she was quite at peace with her one friend. However she suddenly felt very self conscious about everything she did.
