{Ahh I'd love to RP with you Blaze! >.< But I think you may already have a lot of characters... unless you want to make more characters but you don't have to of course}
--
Keilana laughed. "I don't know your brother well enough to know if he would actually set a house on fire. Or you, for that matter." She could hear the fondness in his voice, and it was yet another point in his favor. "Let's head inside. Hey, introduce me to some people, will you?" She shook her head with another small laugh. "I'm kidding, don't worry. You don't need to introduce me to anyone." It would be nice to have someone introduce her for her, but she didn't actually want to put that pressure on him. She could probably handle herself. She was friendly enough, or at least, she tried to be.

(Also I want to get together a list of ideas for the incident so we can have it figured out and actually be able to reference it by what actually happened in rp. So I'll get a list of mine, then you and Lost can add any ideas. When Loat gets on, we can vote)

(I feel bad for having all of your characters taken Blaze XD But also I enjoy their conversations
I could always make another character or two for you Aurora
I don't hunk anyone responded last night but it might have just gotten lost. Did anyone want to make twins/triplets/quadruplets?)

"I mean, I can introduce you to Chase," Arlo said with a shrug. "Most of my friends don't actually go to this school. They go to other, cooler schools," he said.
He figured nobody would be their greeting the guests since it was a party for teenagers and not some rich person gala, so he turned the knob and pushed the door open.
"I didn't want to come, but this actually seems really cool," Arlo shouted over the music. He turned to Keilana. "What do you think?" he asked.
Arlington wasn't sure he'd ever been to a party. Why would he? He was perfectly happy to be at home with his brother and sister. He'd much rather be with them playing a board game or watching a movie than out drinking and dancing.
Though Arlo, surprisingly, wasn't a bad dancer. He'd actually taken lessons as a child (both twins had) and had pretty decent moves. He'd even taken a few ballroom dancing lessons as a requirement at the dance studio.

{That'd be cool of you, but as I said, you don't have to!
The twins/triplets/quadruplets thing sounds cool! I don't know how it would work out, but it does sound interesting!}
Keilana rolled her eyes a bit in amused exasperation, mouthing 'cool' behind his back. She could already tell he had a bit of an obsession, but she was a hypocrite. She did, after all, have a bad habit of doing whatever she could to be liked. Sometimes that meant acting a certain way, whether or not she actually meant it. She knew it was hypocritical, but she didn't care that much.
"Kind of cool, I guess!" She responded loudly to be heard. "It's not usually my thing, though!" As much as she liked music and being around people, she could never get used to the sheer volume that made up a party. She had only been to a few before, so she still wasn't quite used to it.

(I figured it'd be pretty easy. We each claim a character (which would determine how many siblings) and then come up with their last name/family/history/relationship and then we get more cute sibling relationships)
Aldo made his way to the table of food, popping a few chips into his mouth. He then turned to Keilana. "Hey, wanna dance?" he asked. Now, Arlo knew his excitement to dance would make him look a little odd, but that was until people got to see his moves.
All eyes would be on him in no time. Arlo was sure of it. He grabbed a bottle of water, knowing he'd be sweaty in no time, and returned to Keilana. "Well?" he asked. For someone who spent a majority of his time (when he wasn't at school, work, or practice) at home, he was energized by the crowd, the lights, the loud music. He felt almost as if he were at a club instead of Ash's house.
He scanned the sea of faces, not surprised to see some of his teammates there. What surprised him, though, was that he was unable to find Chase. He just shrugged it off. Chase was a big boy that could handle himself.

((I was considering making new characters. XD And I could make some that could cause drama with yours if you want to?))
((I could possibly get on board with multiple siblings. O.o))
((Hmm... What is the incident list, then?))
Drake listened as she spoke. He had, of course, only ever heard Adriane's story. Mason and him had transferred to the school when Mason was in ninth grade, and Drake in seventh, so they hadn't been there to witness it.
"So, let me get this straight." Drake started. "You're going to get stuck up on Mason, someone you've never talked to before, because you had one little conversation with him? I would just sweep this all under the rug and move on."
--
Jace laughed. "I gotta say, I really thought you were going to bite my head off or something. But you're actually really nice, Sophia. You're a really good person."
--
Mason thought about it and then shook his head. "I don't need some therapist appointment with you, and I certainly don't need help. I can handle this stuff myself. I'm an adult." Well, almost.
He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and took one out, lighting it and looking back out the window. He didn't want to look in Jack's direction.
--
"I like that idea." Ash hopped of the counter and grabbed the rest of the juice boxes. "C'mon, let's go eat cake."

{If you're sure then, Blaze! Drama is always welcomed of course. *is still super into my idea with Elita and I also really want her to get a romantic interest*
Hmm, well, I wouldn't be opposed to doing the sibling thing either, haha}
"Why, are you hitting on me?" Keilana teased, smirking. "Kidding, kidding. Sure, let's dance! I warn you though, I don't dance often." She had taken a few classes here and there, and she found that she actually adored dancing quite a bit. She thought she was pretty good at it too, but she was a bit apprehensive about dancing with other people around. She'd never done so before. Usually, she took to hanging around people she knew and just talking. She did sort of want to actually dance though, so she had accepted his offer before she could second guess herself.

(We could do triplets then, and quadruplets if Lost wants one. Then maybe we could have some kind of plot with them so everyone would be included?)
(So far we have that Adriane tripped Mia and got food all over her, the guy was doing a public dance proposal thing and Mia was coming up onto stage to say yes and that's when Adriane did something to embarrass her and ended up going to the dance with the guy, Mia told Adriane that she liked a guy and Adriane wrote a love letter pretending to be him that basically said he was shy but if Mia asked him to the dance he'd go and then Mia did but the guy turned her down (maybe something adriane said) and that embarrassed her. That's all I can think of unless you guys have ideas)
"I mean, it's not just that," Mia said. She frowned up at the ceiling. "Part of it is just Adriane. You know, I was having a nice conversation with someone, and she could've just waited a few minutes and approached Mason when we were done talking, but then she had to come and make comments about me anyway. And I'm not getting hung up on him. He's just the first person outside of my family that I had a real conversation with. You know? I honk it was just he fact that Adriane ruined it..." she trailed off. What she didn't mention to Drake was that she had always found Mason cute back when he went to school with her. She'd just been to scared to actually do something about it.
***
"Thanks," Sophia said with a laugh. "And I thought you were gonna be some weird guy that didn't talk, but you're not," Sophia said. She smiled. "So, Jace, where do you want tonight to go?" she asked. "Dancing, chatting, music, I could introduce you to people," she offered, letting him decide where hey went.
***
Jack looked towards Mason, but turned away when he saw the cigarette. He definitely didn't approve of smoking, but wasn't going to say that. All it'd do is make Mason upset.
"Listen, I'm just trying to help you, man. I'm not even going to pretend I know what you're going through or that I can relate to you. I can't, but I wanted to check on you. I didn't know if Mia was what caused you to run up here, but I don't like to see people hurt. You, my sister, Jace, anybody really."
***
Chase grabbed the cake and two forks, tucking it under his shirt. The cold pan froze his chest and stomach, but he didn't care. They'd most likely have to pass other people and he didn't want anyone asking questions about their cake.

(I also have a few others I'm thinking of bringing in. Jordan is a daredevil, Gus is a rich kid that tries to hide it, Q is the son of an actress and believes he's the next huge thing) "Hey, tonight's about having fun. Who cares who sees us?" Aldo said, surprised the words slipped out of his mouth. Then he shrugged. "Come on," he took her hand and pulled her into the crowd of bodies. Once he found a spot that the two of them could dance in, he listened to the music and began to dance. He was a little rusty, not having had lessons for a few years and this was sure different than dancing with his sister and letting her stand on his feet, but after a few minutes he fell into the groove once again. Huh, maybe Chase was right about things occasionally.

{Honestly all those guys sound pretty cool. Honestly, Elita's probably not gonna recognize anybody who's famous, but her siblings would. Triplets/quadruplets totally sounds doable!
Ahhh, I took a nap and forgot to respond! >.<}
Keilana laughed as she went along with him. Honestly, it had been a while since she had actually thought about 'fun' over what made her look best to other people. She was still a little self-conscious of every move she made, feeling as though people were looking at her even though she knew they weren't. Eventually, she let herself get reacquainted with actual dancing and actually doing well with it. She really did miss just dancing for dancing, though she was still dancing on a far lower level than she knew she could.

(Jordan's a girl and I'm probably not gonna bring Q in but I did have fun with him the one time I used him. Gus too is pretty adorable)
(Cool. So we've at least got twins? The triplets if Blaze is in and we can see if Lost wants to make it quadruplets. I know a group of quads and they're super cool)
(Don't worry about it. I was out getting and eating dinner anyway)
"You're not bad," Arlington shouted over the music. He was already beginning to feel beads of sweat dripping down his forehead and the back of his neck. Since I know absolutely nothing about dancing or even what good dancing looks like or how people dance at a high school party, I'm going to keep this pretty darn vague.
After a little more dancing, Arlo made his way to the drinks and hung out there, watching to see if Keilana would come join him.

{Whoops sorry! I realized after I sent that that "Jordan" is a pretty ambiguous name ^^' Nice!
And I have absolutely no idea what dancing is like either. My family dances but I don't lol. I could attempt to describe it but it's like... gah}
"Thanks!" Keilana replied, grinning happily. "I suppose you're not so bad yourself!" She was still all too aware of the people around her. She didn't exactly like being touched often, so she was consciously trying to weave away from them while still dancing. It was a process. When Arlo left to the drinks, she debated not joining him, but it was better for her to follow him, so she did. She was kind of bad at being alone in a crowd, even though she technically still didn't know him all that well. She bound up to him with a smile, looking somewhat winded and tired, but happy in a way too.

((I could totally make her love interest. XD))
((Yeah, but what kind of plot?))
((I kind of like that last love letter idea.))
"Well, if it makes you feel better, I bet she wouldn't stop you from talking to anybody else!" Drake suggested cheerfully. "And, I mean, I can't completely hate Adriane. We've got too much history at this point."
Which, of course, was the reason Mason couldn't let go. "She... uh... she's got a few problems of her own, you know? I wouldn't say to like her or forgive her for what she did, but she needs Mason right now." He couldn't say anything past that.
--
Where did he want this night to go? Jace hadn't even thought that he would get this far with Sophia, or anyone, really. "Well, I would say keep dancing but I'm out of shape and getting tired. But honestly, I guess whatever you want to do." Again, Jace didn't want to be a burden or ruin her night.
--
"It was both of them." Mason said after being silent for a couple minutes. "Both wanting me to go and talk with them privately or whatever. I don't want to make a decision like that."
He was silent for another moment while he thought about what had happened. Maybe Mason should have followed one or the other, but he hasn't wanted to choose or hurt either of their feelings.
--
Following suite, Ash hid the juice boxes under her shirt so no one would try to grab them. She led Chase into her house, squeezing past people and smacking a couple that got too close.
((We need someome to see Chase and Ash and be like "Why is the cake under your shirt." XD))

(Yeah especially cause it seems like girls tend to spell it Jordyn. I just think Jordan looks a lot nicer. I actually have a male character named Jordan but he's 11 XD)
"Huh, that wasn't actually as bad as I expected," Arlo said, looking down at a text from the babysitter. She was asking where the cleaning supplies were because his sister had spilled her milk. He typed a reply and sent it before cracking open a can of Mtn. Dew.
"Dance lessons?" he asked, figuring it was likely that she took them. They were by far some of the best dancers in the crowd. "Me and Chase took them when we were younger. Speaking of Chase, I think I lost him."

--
"No, it wasn't," Keilana agreed. "I'm still not too into all the people, though. Don't let my usual attitude fool you--too many people in one place aren't my thing." People seemed to think she loved parties because she was a generally cheerful and energetic person. In actuality, she was a bit more of an introvert than people gave her credit for. She had only really gone to the party in hopes of finding someone to make friends with.
She reached over to grab another can of Mountain Dew and nodded to his question. "Yeah, I took a few here and there. And my parents both love dancing, so that kind of passed on to me." She took a sip of her soda. "Well, he did go on ahead of us. Did you want to go looking for him?"

(A plot for the siblings? Idk that's always something we could discuss. I have a few vague ideas but not anything fleshed out or anything) (That's probably my favorite. We can check with Lost and then maybe go with that)
"I'm not trying to turn you against her, Drake. I mean, I still keep in contact with almost all of Jack's exes," Mia sighed. "Look, I'm not trying to keep Adriane away from Mason or get in between whatever it is they have," she said. She frowned.
"I was going through a tough time when the incident happened. It sucks, and I'm not trying to hurt Adriane. I just really don't want to interact with her," Mia said, trying to summarize her feelings.
"I don't like Adriane. I don't forgive her. I don't think either of those things will ever happen. But I don't want to hurt her either. You know? I mean, she's right. We were kids, but that doesn't mean I have to forgive her," she said. She groaned. "Ugh, I never should've come."
***
"Well, I like dancing, but we can take a break. Besides that, there's a very disappointing lack of cute guys here so I guess I'll hang out with you," she said teasingly. "What do you want to do?" She really didn't want to get stuck in an endless cycle of this, but didn't know what she wanted to do.
***
Jack was excited to hear Mason's answer, but he didn't show it. Instead, he just nodded and reclined back, taking up the entire couch since Mason didn't want to sit next to him.
"Well, the way I see it is you have a few options. You can hide out in here and complain, which isn't terrible. It can be exhausting out there. You can go and talk to each of them. That way you aren't making a choice, you're just listening to both and seeing what they want. You can choose one, but that's probably a good thing to cross off the list right away. Or you could just go out there and hang out. If either of them ask you to go talk in private, just say you don't want to. They should respect your decision. If not, maybe they're someone you should cut out of your life. Don't worry about abandoning people that don't respect you," Jack said. He closed his eyes, actually enjoying the couch and the muted sounds of the party while he talked to Mason.
***
Chase hugged his stomach, following Ash with his head down. "Hurry," he said, putting a hand on her shoulder so he didn't lose her. Chase ducked around a young girl that seemed to have had to much too drink. "Where are we heading anyway?"
(Somebody bumps into Chase "Dude you must go to the gym a lot. Your abs are rock solid" XD)

In fact, I worked at being a bad boy first," Arlo laughed. "I couldn't pull it off. I mean, I have a picture of my little sister in my wallet. What bad boy does that?" he asked. Then he wrinkled his nose. "Nah, I'm sure he's fine. You know Chase. Er, you kinda know him I guess. He's probably found someone and wandered off and tried to convince them to feed Red Bull to a bunch of birds."

"It's because I know your type," Keilana told him, smiling. She kind of felt like bopping his nose, but that was most likely a bad idea. She wondered if he would make that surprised cat face. "Don't want to be disliked, so you work to make yourself fit the mold. I get that. But also, girls tend to think it's cute when supposed 'bad boys' turn out to be soft dorks." She certainly did, but she always did have a thing for supposed bad boys that were actually giant softies. She wasn't going to tell him that, though, not when it would probably give him the wrong impression.
"Um, I don't think Red Bull is good for birds," she added, looking kind of concerned. "Not that Red Bull is really all that good for anybody, anyway, but... Alright, if you're sure."

(I have one story about names from my teacher whose wife worked in a hospital but it's not forum appropriate)
"Huh," Arlo said, sipping at his soda. "Do you know a lot of guys like that?" he's asked. She'd guessed exactly correct, though he had kind of hinted at that at first.
"Yeah, I don't know. I feel like if your a soft dork bad boy type, you lose a lot of street cred. You know? At least as a jock type, that can really go in any direction. As long as the other football team doesn't realize I'm a big softie," he said with a bit of a laugh. That wouldn't look good for their team if they lost cause Arlo was being a softie out in the field.
"Yeah, but Chase is convinced it'll be the funniest prank ever. He wants to let these birds loose on the football field or at graduation when they're hopped up on energy drinks. I told you he's a child."

{Omg that must be an interesting story then}
"I don't actually talk to boys," she told him and tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. "Like, never, unless they talk to me first. I knew a few girls back home, though." She wasn't ready to admit that she was the same. She tried to stay true to herself, but all too often, she found herself agreeing where she disagreed and acting a certain way while she was uncomfortable with it. She did manage to keep some sense of self, but she still acted certain ways when she knew it wasn't her.
"Do whatever makes you feel safe, I guess." She shrugged. "It's high school, man. After we graduate, nobody's gonna care. Still, I at least think it's cute that you love your family and jokes so much." As long as he didn't go too far in acting to the point where it affected the ones he did care about, she wouldn't say anything to tell him to do otherwise.
"I think I'd actually pay to see that happen," she said, giggling behind her can of Mountain Dew. "It sounds like a lot of fun."

(It really is. He swears it's true even though it doesn't seem like it is. Yeah I wanna tell you but like forum rules...)
"Huh, I talk to girls, but I kinda stopped since you know, I didn't really do a ton of talking. I just let my rugged good looks and sports skills do the talking for me," Arlo said with a laugh. He did want to be more like Chase and have the confidence that his brother had to be the real him, but Arlo didn't. At his point, they were juniors and would be graduating in two years. It was a little late to be the real Arlo.
"Yeah and after we graduate, maybe I will be the real me. But whatever. At this point, it doesn't matter," he said. "You see, our parents are gone working the majority of the time, so Chase and I are doing a lot of the raising of our sister. I've kinda been the one to grow up faster so Chase doesn't have to," he said. Their parents were great, just not home a ton. He wrinkled his nose a bit at the thought of being cute. "Hey, we went over this. I'm cool and tough, not cute," he said, but he chuckled anyway.
"Ugh, please don't encourage Chase. He's seriously like a five year old at times. Like he made Ash go out and buy juice boxes for this party. Juice boxes," he said, repeating the last part for emphasis.
