I’m down to type up a reply if anyone wants to RP again. I can defiantly type something up that directs the focus to the people here. I just feel like if we don’t start again With the rping this isn’t going to go anywhere. XD)

(Finally got around to writing this! I was going to post yesterday, but had a D&D session that last for four hours (but it was totally worth it.). Anyway, here it is now.)
Avani wildly flailed her arms in the air, trying to grab the attention of the others. When that proved to be rather unsuccessful, she opted to run ahead instead. Her shoulder throbbed in pain, while her fresh side wound continued to burn. But she was alright for the most part. At least alright enough to greet her companions. Christina and their new companions stayed behind for the moment, seemingly unsure of what to do. Avani could hardly blame them. No one escaped unscathed, but no one was dead either. The angel soon reached the other crystal-holders, noticing the same could be said for them.
"You guys okay?" She asked.
(It's not much. I actually might go back and edit it some later. But it's a generic enough start for when anyone replies.)

[[ Hey everyone... goodness I am so sorry, I really dropped the ball on this. I'm down to RP too. School's been cancelled for a bit so I'll have more time. Again, so sorry. I'd love to keep doing this with all you amazing people. ]]

Alex tried to distance himself from the whole thing. All he could smell was that coppery taste, scent, stench. Devastatingly repulsive and devastatingly attractive, all at the same time. Inhaling sharply through the mouth and then cutting off his breathing, Alex left the alley. Perhaps it was a bit more secure, being farther from the center of the fighting and everything, but Alex just needed to get out. He opted for an obscure side street, trading some shadows for some other shadows. Once his back was against a cold-gray wall, Alex tried to survey the damage. There was just so much, it was a complete overload. The chaos was dying down, and he could finally hear individual sounds instead of an ambiguous roar, but it was still miserable. Dreadful. All of those long adjectives that described something that was very, very sad.
He watched unlucky passers-by struggle to escape, tripping over both the rubble and the injured alike. Alex scanned the area for anyone he knew. He could not make everyone out clearly (no idea why, maybe it was the lack of oxygen? That guess had no real scientific basis, but vampires were notoriously bad at accepting science), but there were some figures that seemed familiar. For the most part they were fine, but let's face it: everyone was injured. Alex's feet decided to wander out towards the group, albeit without his brain's permission, but nevertheless Alex ended up leaving his newly-found safety in favor for the open danger of the ruined plaza.
"Everyone alright?" Alex shouted impulsively, before regretting it. Wonderful idea, let's just call all the attention to him. That won't have any bad results. Certainly not.
[[ Not my best work, but it's something i think. ]]

[[ sorry it took so long. also, this is the first time I've ever read the word "proffered." it's a really cool word, sad that I haven't run into it before. ]]
Alex nodded along as Lilah spoke, although admittedly the words were all passing over him. Whatever she was saying, he maybe was understanding half of it. The heat of a blazing fire was horrible, but somehow the fire's heat was more alarming to Alex than the fire itself. Vampires could survive fires, definitely, but being burned alive was said to be the worst feeling in the world. Sure, he'd heal after it, but no matter how temporary it is in the long term, pain always seems permanent in the moment.
"I'm okay," Alex stuttered out unconvincingly (not that it was meant to be a lie, it was more of an instinctual response). "Just trying to process this." The vampire declined the bandages, knowing that he was miraculously rather uninjured and would not need the bandages in a few hours anyways. He slowly pivoted on a heel, trying to take in the scope of the carnage. That's the only word he could think to describe the square: carnage. He was weirdly becoming used to the stench, the ash and the blood, but that in itself was a horrifying fact. No one should ever adapt to a disaster like this one.
After completing a full circle evaluation of the area, Alex's eyes came to rest on the Spire. Something so grand and bold was now smoldering. How unbelievable was that? Something so old, something so grand. Perhaps it was just a vampire's instinct to protect the old, the ancient, but this was nearly beyond what Alex could process. The flames arched up into the now-lightening sky, sparks flying every which way. It was strangely beautiful. Alex immediately felt guilty for using that adjective for describing the scene, but that was one of the two words that came to mind. Beautiful and horrifying.
As Lilah finished speaking, Alex's brain finally caught up to what she was saying. Delighted at the prospect of going somewhere safe, somewhere away from the fire, Alex seemed to brighten. Not that it was quite possible to be bright at a time like this, but whatever. "Where?" the vampire asked simply, his brain not quite able to muster more than short statements at this time.

[[ I'm doing well thanks! Luckily I'm not sick and no one I know is. Just trying not to get too bored during the quarantine. You? ]]
[[ I think it's fine if you respond before anyone else does. Might just be just us now (well, mostly you), hopefully the others will have time soon to pop back in. Anyhow though, I'm happy we can hang out, chat, and rp! ]]
Alex nodded along absently to Lilah's explanations. He was listening, but the motion itself was involuntary, little more than an indication that he was indeed listening. His eyes continued to trace the sky. It should have been a dazzling blue by now, but instead it was plotted with mottled gray and brown. A truly disgusting color combination. The vampire's nose crinkled, the stereotypical perfectionist in him unsettled by that more than the flames themselves. They were beautiful and horrifying. The sky and its smoke was just disgusting and horrifying. A stark reminder of the new disaster.
Admittedly while Alex had been listening to what Lilah had been saying, he had not really been dedicating much thought to it. Sure, he understood what she was saying, but he did not truly process it until she rose her voice. Was it alarm? Just wanting to get other's attention? Alex had no idea. He had never been great at reading people (although he was fantastic at convincing himself that they disliked him based on nonexistent details), so he elected not to say anything. Instead he elected to stare at her bloody phone. He toyed with the idea of reaching for his own phone, but ended up just staring at her hand. Realizing how awkward and mildly creepy that was, Alex redirected his eyes right back to the ground. His shoes were now his main focus. The once-glossy black was now covered in a dusty layer of grime and muck... ugh. Alex suddenly became incredibly self conscious (ha, as if he wasn't already) about every detail of his attire, never mind the fact that everyone else was equally scruffy.
Stealing a glance at Lilah, Alex's brow furrowed. Perhaps he was not great at reading others, but he knew his own tricks very well. Averting his gaze was a classic Alex move. "A-are you alright?" he asked before regretting it. If she was not okay before then she certainly would not be anymore, and if she was well... now he looked like an idiot. And why did he stutter? And why use "alright" instead of "okay?" Alex straightened his spine, hands suddenly grasped behind his back in a failed attempt to look casual. Instead he looked like an awkward person trying to fit in. That description was frustratingly accurate.
[[ ugh that was a mess xD ]]

[[ Ugh, so sorry to hear about the document thing! That's such a pain. So far school is okay for me, especially since it's late in the year so everything is winding down anyways. Still have to worry about homework and everything, but at least my teachers have figured out how to run an online class now. ]]
[[ I really love this RP too. All of us have good chemistry, a bunch of the characters have good chemistry, it just works so well. Hopefully we can get it back up and running. And I totally agree, a Lilah-Alex-Vieve trio would be amazing. Honestly the potential with these three is... ugh, I love it! also Lilah being the begrudging 'n supportive third wheel is me with my friends I just hope it happens. And don't worry about your posts, they're great. ]]
Alex tried not to tense up when he realized just how injured Lilah was. How had he not noticed before? Sure, everything reeked of iron and blood, but it should have been obvious how much pain she was in. He inhaled sharply through the mouth (if it was through the nose he would smell it more potently) and pursed his lips, trying to keep his reaction minimal and hopefully completely unnoticed. Who knows how successful he was at that, but Alex tried not to care a lot about it. Instead he focused on her words, following the rhythm consonants and vowels. He tried to hold her gaze and continued to stare even after she looked away. As if that's going to make her comfortable, dang it Alex...
He stiffened the moment he saw the blood on her face. The blood itself was not alarming, and Alex was sure he could handle being around it, but it was so eerie how casual she seemed to be about it. Yeah, it was not a horrible wound, but it should still have been enough to make her uncomfortable. Or maybe she was and Alex just was not picking up on that. It would not be a surprise if that was the case.
Once Lilah finished talking, Alex waited for a few moments before he responded. The momentary pause turned into an awkward silence and finally Alex just gave up and offered a clumsy response, slightly strained from the lack of air circulation. "I'd be happy to go with you, if you like. None of us should probably be wandering around alone." His statement almost trailed off at the end as Alex realized how bad that sounded. Was he doubting Lilah? No, she could probably handle herself better than Alex could. But could it seem like he was? Unfortunately yes. Alex looked down at his hands immediately, not knowing if he should say anything else.
"Ehm, well, you and I could try that and the others could maybe try and help out here? Or something? We could exchange numbers or something like that. And if their place isn't very close, my car's on the other side of the square. It was fine when I last saw it, it might still be workable. We could maybe take that." Great job Alex. Way to exude confidence there.
[[ I don't entirely remember what state the car is in, but we can just say it's a bit banged up but mostly still works? ]]

//Ugh I'm so sorry guys! There were unforeseen issues irl and my mom was actually one of the first people to get sick- but fortunately she's better now!
But on top of that I had to deal with losing my job, trying to find another one when everything was closed, school- I'm sure you already know ^^"
//So er, this is just my apologetic return! I don't know if you guys want to continue this or start something new together, but I'm here! Albeit much less present despite the circumstances...

//Thank you for understanding!
//Honestly I feel weird continuing on without the creator of the rp, partly because we don't know what their original direction was? I feel like we could probably continue with the same characters and maybe even the same situation but with our own story?

//Thanks, and I hope the same for you! <3
//Same, I don't want to steal ideas..! but we could do without the main draw for this one-! that every character has a corresponding crystal- We could make it a tattoo/birthmark or just say they were mentioned almost explicitly in the prophecy due to having more power than normal amongst their kind. Or it can even be that certain families will have descendants chosen for a prophecy. ^^

(I was gonna reply earlier, but there's weird storm where it's been really windy with only a little bit of rain, lightning, and thunder. Anyway, it seems we've all been busy in one way or another. I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Spider, but it's good she's doing better. As for me, I've been busy with school too and because I live out in the country, getting work done for it has been diffcult. Also it was a case where I had things to do, so I would hold it off until the next day and repeat until I forgot about it. I have finals next week, but after that I'll be done until next semester.
I would be interested with continuing to use the same characters because I really enjoy all of them. I think we could come up with a few ideas for a different plot and such with the characters we have and maybe even add some new ones.
Connection is spotty. This may be the only post I can do for the night.)

(Probably honing to be the last post for the night because I'm tried and have no clue if the power will be on to charge my phone tomorrow.
Anyway thanks! Also congratulations on getting accepted! Despite some weird stuff, I'm doing good and I wish the same for you guys too. The finals should be easy and despite connectivity issues, my professors are literally the best and worked with me to make sure I could get my work done. Seriously bless them.
PMs are always good for planning. Though the lack of editing isn't fun. Perhaps creating a page one the planning pages board would be good (I know it was changed but I forgot the name) Anyway, I've been doing a lot of random worlding building the past month or so, so that would be fun. Also I agreed about the group. I really like their interactions so far.)

// I'm a sucker for it too! That's what drew me to this rp in the first place
// Ah I understand, we've been having storms like that too. Thank you~
I hope you pass all of your finals quickly and easily! <3 I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've had to go through, but I'm glad you've had such great professors! Seems like that's an unexpected luxury sometimes
//Congrats Starchaser! ^^ That's awesome!
I'm a bit too nitpicky to rp by PM, but I don't mind using it to plan if you guys want, though the 'sub pages' are also an option. I'm also not currently in a headspace for grand plans & worldbuilding, so I'll go with whatever you guys decide and comment where applicable. ^^"

(Yeah they're not fun. Power was on when I woke up this morning, so that was good. Anyway, thanks! They should be easy enough, but we'll see. Once I'm done with them, I'll be done so that's good. They're great and I'm lucky to have gotten good professors.
Oh yeah I would hate to rp via PMs. Don't lack the lack of editing. Planning through them is better in my opinion. Anyway, doing a sub page might be better. I'm honestly fine with anything.)
