Cody Lightheart ❀ ♂ ❀ 19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:
♥.•°Insanity°•.♥ Do you want to learn coding? That's fine. I have an assessment due this Friday, one due next Friday and an Exam after that. I think on the weekend. They don't have any classes and they go decide to go shopping at the mall. That's when either Charli or Cody decide to confess their feelings. Maybe after that, Charli shows Cody some of the clothes she's thinking of buying, a huge magic bomb explodes near their vicinity, and their magic is exposed, turning them into their angelic and demonic forms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
Cody laughs. "That's true, and I honestly don't mind if it's you watching my every action." Charli was the only one he'd ever need approval from, because apart from his parents in this life, Charli was everything. She was funny, kind and sweet, and he loved ever side of her.
Cody shakes his head. "It's not my grandchildren. It's ours. You will always be the person closest to me, and that will not change in the future." That was something he was determined to keep the same.
Cody nods. He was glad they were living close by too. They grew up together, and they've lived near each other their whole lives. He didn't want their relationship to change in any way. Well, that's not entirely true. If Charli would become his girlfriend, and then wife in the future, it would make Cody that much happier. "I'm glad you didn't forget your keys today," he says with a small smirk.
Cody had always been too nice to be a demon. He didn't have that chaotic need in his bones. He was too good, not that all demons are bad. It's just that they liked to life freely, and that meant doing everything their own way, not being swayed by everyone else. That's what made Hell so chaotic and dangerous. Cody never liked the chaos. He preferred a simple and neat setting which was a weird concept for demons.
Cody couldn't help but feel warm every time he steps into Charli's apartment. Everything about her just lights up the room, and everything she loves are warm. Cody, on the other hand, preferred the colder colours. Everything in his apartment was either black or white, and very superficial. |

{{ I would be interested in learning. Whether I have time is another thing. XD
I hope your assessments/exams go well!
Ooo, public confession and public exposure, I think that will be interesting. }}
“Ours.” Charli repeats the words to herself, a soft smile forming on her lips. Her mind immediately imagined what it would be like to have miniature versions of them running around. She thought for a moment her heart would swell and burst from the amount of happiness that came from that single thought. “You’re never gonna get rid of me.” She admitted, slipping off her shoes at the entrance and removing her jacket revealing sunshine socks and a yellow cut-off shirt
Charli laughed at Cody’s comment about her keys “You have no idea how much effort it takes to not lock myself out.” She was not kidding. Just in this vicinity there were five visible sticky notes hung around the room with the word KEYS written on them. “If anyone ever broke in they would probably think I’m crazy.” She sighed. Cody actually had her spare keys, she did not trust herself to put it somewhere she would remember, so he inevitably knew of all the times she had locked herself out before.
Charli made her way into her kitchen, flicking on the lights to search for the things she would need to make pizza. The two had always had distinct differences between them, but they balanced each other. Cody helped Charli keep her head on straight sometimes. She knew she could always rely on him to be there for her. He was her rock.
She had the tomato sauce, a packet of yeast, sugar and salt. “Would you mind grabbing the oil from the top cabinet?” Charli asked, she could reach it with a stretch but it would be easier for Cody.

"I would never want to get rid of you," Cody replies to her serious statement. "Just as you will never get rid of me." He slips out of his jacket and shoes, placing them neatly. He felt at home in Charli's home. His solid coloured shirt made him look clean and gentle.
He chuckles. He knew just how much effort she put in not to lock herself out. After all, he's always been there every single time she locked herself out. "You're just a little forgetful, that's all." He couldn't help but touch her head gently.
He follows her into the kitchen like a lost puppy. He wished that he could cook, and therefore make her dinner instead of having to let her cook after having had classes all day. It was his one regret. He did feel excited though. He couldn't wait to eat with her, and them being like this made him feel like an old married couple.
He moves on her command to grab the oil. His height definitely made him an asset in cases like these. "Why did you place the oil so high up?" he asks with a frown. "You could easily hurt yourself." |

“Then it’s decided. We will never get rid of each other, pinky promise?” Charli stuck her right little finger out as her left hand took the oil from Cody’s hand.
At that moment, she was silently wishing they were promising on something more. Making a promise to love and cherish each other, to be honest and to never part till death. Well, she might have to let the honest part go. Charli would never disclose her true identity, not even to Cody, who she had grown so close to. She was here to be anything but an angel and she was sure that confession would make things very messy.
“And maybe I put the oil up there so I would have to ask you to grab it every time.” That innocent smile appeared on her face, making it hard to tell if this was the truth or not. Charli could tease and be a bit mischievous at times, but never at the cost of someone else.
Charli placed the oil on the counter with the other ingredients, absentmindedly touching the spot on her head where Cody’s hand had been. “I don’t know if I say this enough, but I appreciate you.” Charli made eye contact for this comment, to show she meant what she said. “You literally keep my head on straight sometimes.” She turned to grab some bowls out of the cabinet and the recipe for pizza. Her parents sent a collection of recipes with Charli when she went to college for easy access and it had come in handy plenty of times.
She didn’t mind cooking after her classes, making homemade pizza for the first time was enough to fill her adventurous needs for the day. She would also take Cody’s presence in any shape or form. “Would you like to get the sauce and toppings ready?” Charli tried to give Cody tasks that would not put them in any kind of danger while she worked on the dough. Hopefully a cutting board and knife weren’t too much to ask.

sorry for not posting for so long!)
Yuda thought over the flowers. "Yea but we will have plenty of time to figure that out," he said to Caley. He had to admit listening to the other man ramble on about flowers, was rather fun? He gave a small smile. "Maybe we could go to a flower shop or something? Seeing them in person would help out, for example just seeing what they look like next to one another." It would also help them develop arrangement ideas for the flowers, so kind of killing two birds with one stone. "If you wanted to do that of course."
"But lilies of the valley sound like a good idea," he said. He had always like flowers, finding them beautiful. He was about to ask if Caley was okay with having that flower in it, but managed to catch himself before the question had time to go from being nonverbal to verbal, as Caley had already said that he liked the flower, so he most likely wouldn't mind using it. "Peach blossoms would also be rather pretty to use." He shifted hsi gaze away from Caley as he thought over the other flowers he had brought up.

Cody Lightheart ❀ ♂ ❀ 19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:
♥.•°Insanity°•.♥ Sorry for the late reply. I had an assessment due... though I'm sure I failed it... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
Cody curls his pinky around hers. "Promise," he says gently as he gave her the oil. "And you know I keep my promises, no matter what." It was true. Cody never broke his promise. If he promised to do something, he would stick to it, no matter the weather, distance, time or if he'd get into trouble. He was always there to stick the promise through.
Cody laughs at Charli's suggestion. He didn't mind taking the oil down for her. As long as she was safe, nothing else mattered. The only reason why he was a little annoyed with how high the oil was placed, was because he was terrified that she would accidentally fall while trying to get the oil down, or the oil would topple and hit her head, and he wasn't there to help or protect her.
"Just be careful next time," he warns softly. His eyes were very soft and gentle when looking at Charli. "And I appreciate you. You're literally my other half." He watches as she starts to cook. Watching her cook had always been his favourite times. It made everything seem so mundane, and just watching her brought home just how much he loved her. Of course, he would never say that to her face, since he didn't want to scare her. What if she just saw him as her best friend, and nothing more? Just the thought of her pushing him away due to a confession terrified him.
"I really want pineapple on the pizza and heaps of cheese and meats," Cody says with a grin. He was a huge meat eater. If meat was the only ingredient he had, he'd be happy for the rest of his life. His love for meat was nearly the same as his love for Charli, but Charli would always be on the top of his list of things he loved. Caley Potter ❀ ♂ ❀ 23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:
Ember34 That's alright. I've been pretty bad at replying lately too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
Caley nods his head hard. "Yes, I would love that." It'd be great, spending time with Yuda. They hadn't been on an outing together in forever. He was more than willing to create new memories with the new Yuda. He says new Yuda because he hadn't seen or spoken to Yuda in a long time. That means that his thought pattern, likes and dislikes were completely foreign and new to Caley. He was happy to learn more about his husband-to-be.
"Then we'll start with Lilies of the Valley and Peach Blossoms. I'll call a florist and ask for them to arrange a day where we can look at all the flowers and pick the best ones." He writes it down on a notepad that sat beside him. He was going to go all out for this wedding. |

No worries, I have also been doing assessments. Sorry to hear that you weren’t so confident in your tests  }} “I know very well how you keep your promises.” Charli hummed as memories of promises made before surfaced in her head. Some had even been kept to this day. It was important to her that she could trust Cody with anything, even a secret here and there. Still some secrets ought to be kept to herself, although it did not stop Charli from wondering how Cody would react to her angelic form. Alas, she would never know, maybe when they were old and dying. Charli gave Cody a nod, “I will be careful.” she affirmed, meeting his gaze. A warmth spread on her face and she turned away to focus on the pizza dough again, concealing a blush at the softness in Cody’s eyes. She chewed her lip, thinking she was making things up. Charli knew she could be sappy and dreamy and created ideas out of nothing. This time she hoped it wasn’t all in her head. “Pineapple… I don’t know if I have any.” Charli gave Cody an apologetic look, her hands were too enveloped in sticky dough to scour the cabinets for any. “There might be some canned ones in that bottom drawer.” Charli gestured with an outstretched foot. She shifted to the sink to wash her hands, then covered the dough so it could rise. “I want peppers on mine.” She chimed, moving onto the fridge to fish out the meat and cheese and a green pepper. Personally, Charli really liked vegetables but being an adventurous eater, she was not picky about anything. |

Cody had always wondered what Charli would say about his demonic form. He's always scared how she'd react. Would she see him in the same light, or would she think of him as a freak? There were times when he'd be tempted to tell her everything about him, but he would always stop at the last moment.
"Hm...I might have some at home. I could quickly go get it. As much as I like canned pineapple, fresh is always better. I guess I would like some chilli as well..." he muses. Cody's favourite pizza would always be a steak pizza with a handful of hot chilli's sprinkled in it. The heat always made him beam. |

Okay, that makes it better then! XD }}
"Oh yeah, you like your stuff hot." Charli did too. Spicy or sweet, she would eat it. "I'll start working on cutting the peppers and cooking the meat, while you're at it." She remembered all of Cody's favorite things. His favorite color, drink, smoothie flavor, and pizza toppings. Whatever it was he liked, she was bound to have it inscribed on her heart.
Charli had expertly chosen some thinly sliced steak out of her fridge. Charli's favorite cuisine was Asian food and she often used this meat for things like broccoli and beef. There was always plenty of noodles and rice around her apartment too. Today, she knew it would pair perfectly well on the pizza and she raised it up in front of her face, her left eyebrow quirked, waiting for Cody’s opinion.

"I sure do," he sighs, nearly drooling at the thought. He nods eagerly at the sight of the meat. "It'll be great. I'll be back." He quickly hurries out, making sure he had his keys in his pocket. He was really looking forward to eating the pizza Charli makes. He takes no longer than five minutes. Returning with the pineapple and more cheese, he moves to the sink.
"I'll help cut the rest of the ingredients," he says charmingly. He also loved Asian foods, but he had more of a mixed palate. He loved most cuisines. It was ingredients he didn't like, such as tomatoes, zucchini and onions. He didn't mind tomatoes mixed with other ingredients, but tomatoes on its own or raw, and he wouldn't touch the dish. |

Oooof, which subject? }}
"It will be great." Charlize agreed.
By the time Cody had returned, Charlize had sliced the meat and put it in a pan. She was currently selecting some spices for flavoring and adding them in no particular way to the pan. Charli actually didn't own any measuring utensils. She liked to eyeball things or use her own judgment to know what was enough, which sometimes turned out okay and other times not.
"Thank you." She responded to Cody saying he would help cut things up. She hummed a song while she stirred the spices and meat. As the pan heated up, the aromas began to fill the air.
The kitchen is where she felt the happiest. Everything she loved could fit in it; food, friends, family. What is not to love about a kitchen? Charlize enjoyed cooking for other people, especially Cody. She wouldn't mind cooking for or with Cody for as long as they lived.
"I was thinking," She started "What are you doing tomorrow?"

Cody wished he had even a portion of Charli's cooking skills. It wasn't just his baking that blows up; it's his cooking too. Nothing ever tastes right, and whatever he cooks can never be salvaged. It doesn't stop him from trying though. He was good at knife skills, which is why he chose to help cut up the rest of the ingredients.
"No problem," he says happily. He starts with the pineapple, before making his way through the vegetables. He hums along with Charli as he cuts, enjoying himself immensely.
"Tomorrow?" he asks. "Um...I think I was just going to relax at home. I don't really have any special plans. Maybe just sit and binge watch a series... Why?" |

"Well, I just got paid today. And I don't have to work this weekend," That was a nice change of pace, Charli often got stuck with the weekend hours at the local coffee shop. She was just too nice to tell them no. "I kind of wanted to go to the mall and go shopping, if you want to come with me." Charli elaborated
"But you don't have to, it sounds like you already have a date with your TV." She didn't want to make him feel forced to come along with her. Many of her friends at her workplace would tease her about how much time she spent with Cody. Charli would always defend it by saying they were just friends but maybe she didn't want that anymore.
Could she really do it though? Charli always struggled with being assertive and speaking her mind. Voicing her feelings for Cody might be just as scary as jumping off a cliff. Especially if he didn't feel the same way, there would be nobody to catch her from falling. For a while she tried ignoring her feelings, but it seemed the more Charlize did this, the stronger and more obtrusive they became. Her only other option was to let the feelings in, but right now she was cooking.
Once the meat was nicely browned, Charli turned off the burner and moved the pan to the back of the stove top. The dough had also finished rising so she needed to get the sauce ready. Thankfully it was just out of a can, so it didn't take any prep work. She looped her finger through the pull tab on top and pulled but nothing happened. Angling the can to get slightly more leverage and using a lot more force, Charli pulled the tab again. This time, it popped open and splattered sauce across her shirt and face, making her gasp.
"Well, it tastes good." She said, licking off some sauce from her lips.

Cody hugs her from behind. To him, she looked dejected at the thought of him not joining her. Embracing her was the only thing he could think of doing. "Of course I'm free," he says warmly, his breath against her ear. "The only reason why I had a date with the TV was because I had nothing planned, and therefore nothing to do. If you're wanting to spend time with me, then of course I'll choose you over the TV any day."
He releases her, blushing a little. He had just realised they were in a rather couple-like hold, and it just made him yearn for her even more. It made his feelings rise and nearly burst out. It was on the tip of his tongue to say 'I love you' to her, and he was in a very dangerous state of mind. Any more, and he would just blurt out his feelings.
Seeing the sauce all over her clothes and face, Cody gently wipes some sauce off her face with his thumb, before licking it off. "Tastes good, alright," he muses happily. |

Oops, just read your OC from earlier XD. I was reading on my phone and didn't see it…. Anyways, That class would be very interesting! Did you at least take some stuff away from it?}}
Charli was taken back at the embrace. Her body did not tense though. She cheated her head to the side to maybe get a glance at Cody as he spoke. His breath on her ear gave her goosebumps and she had to restrain a shiver. "I always want to spend time with you." She admitted, a blush forming on her cheeks as the words left her lips and the realization of their closeness set in.
As she turned to reveal her sauce splattered face, Charli was again surprised by Cody's touch as he wiped off some sauce. Her eyes blinked rapidly as her blush deepened, betraying her fluttering heart. "I told you it was good." She said quietly as her gaze lingered from Cody's eyes to his lips. "Umm, I'm gonna go change really quick." She drug her brown eyes down to her red speckled shirt in hopes of not being caught staring and excused herself from the kitchen.
It took only a few minutes for Charli to come back in, this time wearing an oversized red shirt. "Now, I don't have to worry about stains." She commented with a smile, regaining her composure after some much needed space. "Should we get back to work?" Charli gestured to the dough and the ingredients that were waiting to be put together and baked.

SN (Screen Name): נσкσмαтσ
Activity (How active are you?): I'm starting my internship in a week and it overlaps with the end of my summer class, so I will be a little bit spotty for 2-3 weeks? But I'll try to get online once a day or once every two days at minimum.
Literacy (simple, moderate, advanced): moderate/advanced
Plot: A Hero's Quest (Percy Jackson RP)
Muse ( e.g whether it’s muse a or muse b ) : X
Name (Character name): Alexei (Lex) Park
Description (Detailed Description of character... or picture):   ![]()
Lex is, generally speaking, just your average 17 year old boy. He's just about 5'10" with a lean build and a complexion somewhere between fair and olive-toned. His hair is black, sometimes caramel under intense sunlight, and is wavy enough to give his bangs the appearance of having been curled. His eyes are almond shaped, golden brown, and exude warmth and joy with every smile or laugh. On most days, Lex is comfortable walking around in a simple t-shirt or hoodie and his favorite pair of jeans, but he does enjoy getting dressed up for certain occasions -- even if that occasion is completely mundane, like having dinner with friends or the first day of school.
Personality (Detailed description of character’s personality):
"Talkative" doesn't even really begin to describe how outspoken Lex can be once he gets to know you. Though, even when he doesn't know someone at all, he's still more than capable of befriending them and proceeding to talk their ear off. Throughout his childhood, with his difficulties in school as a result of dyslexia and ADHD (and the fact that destruction just seemed to follow him wherever he went), Lex was never able to stay in any one school system for very long. The one constant in his life was his ability to socialize and somehow get people to like him, to be friends with him, even if it's just for a little while, just on the surface. Kindness is at the core of who he is, and with that comes a certain amount of naivety; it's so easy for Lex to assume the best in people, too easy for him to give out second chances. But deep down, under all of that kindness, is a strong sense of determination and, though he may not recognize it in himself, a certain kind of loneliness.

Cody lights up when Charli says she always wants to spend time with him. He felt that she returned his feelings a litte, and that just made him beam happily. Not that he'd tell her, of course. She is his everything, and he will always want to be by her side. It's a promise he made to himself. No matter what happens, he will always be by her.
He noticed her blush, and his happiness simply grew. He couldn't help think things like she's so cute, and I wish I could kiss her. He was simply overflowing with affection at her cute expressions. "I'll wait for you," he says warmly, smiling at her as she leaves. He waits patiently, quietly setting up everything they needed to start making those pizzas. He organised everything neatly.
"We're all ready and waiting for you, my master chef," Cody says with a grin. His eyes lit up, as he watched her. Arlen Draco ❀ ♂ ❀ 18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:

Here's my character:  Arlen is an 18 year old young man with tanned skin and beautiful green eyes. His hair is black and tends to be slightly longer than normal. He has a scar that runs over the right side of his mouth and a solid frown on his face at all times. He is 6'2" and has a relatively solid build. His shoulders are a little slender, but his muscles are sleek and lithe, much like a panther's. His eyes hold a rather hardened glint in them that keeps others away. Arlen likes silence. It makes him happy when he doesn't have to listen to the other campers talk. It's why he loves his cabin so much. There aren't many children of Hades, and so Arlen has a lot of space and quiet time. Even when he talks though, his voice and tone is very cold. Despite his handsome appearance, just his voice terrifies others. Arlen is very strong-minded. It is hard for anyone to manipulate him, and he is rather adverse to the notion of partners. He is a loner through and through. He rarely warms up to others, but when he does, he truly treasures them, not that anyone else knows though.

Charli noticed how Cody was just glowing with happiness. It was all she ever wanted, to see him happy. Even though her friendship with him had grown into love, she valued his happiness over hers. In the end, if Cody did not return her feelings, Charli would love and support him the way she was now. As a friend. She determined that that was most important even if it caused a slight pain in her heart.
Charli giggled "Why thank you, my sous chef." She said while shuffling over to the well organized toppings. "Fabulous job, as always." She gave Cody an approving nod. With a quick wash of her hands, Charli got right to work and spread the dough out on a pan. Then she spooned on the sauce.
She pressed the edge of the spoon into the crust, making two small indentations straight across from each other. "I just want to make sure this is fair and none of your little pineapple pieces find their way onto my side." Charlize narrowed her eyes at the cut up pineapple as if silently threatening them. Very rarely would she eat pineapple on her pizza. It was one of her least favorite toppings but if there was no other option, she would still eat it. She was not picky but still had her preferences.

Yuda gave a nod as he leaned back against the couch stretching his arms over his head a bit, before allowing them to fall back to his sides. "Sounds like a plan," he said to Caley . "Make sure to be careful when you nod. You could break your neck if you do it to hard." He shot him a small amused smile.
"Hopefully the weather will be nice on the date they choose," he commented, mainly to himself. He thought over what else could get done at the florist. "Should we look to see how much it would be to hand out anthurium flowers?" He had to admit the idea seemed like it would be something nice to do for the guests, especially since some, depending on who got invited, might have to travel far to attend it.

Cody mostly watches Charli as she cooks. And why wouldn't he? He has a very good reason to stare at Charli, and he wasn't going to miss the opportunity. He knew he could stare at her all day, every day. He was so infatuated by her, anything she did looked great. If he could just stare at her, he knew he'd never grow bored.
"Well, if they do make their way onto your side, just give them to me. I'll eat it for you," he says happily. He grabs a piece of pineapple from the bowl, and pops it into his mouth. He bites down on it, feeling a crunch as he does, and a burst of sweet and sour fills his mouth. He closes his eyes, moaning a little in happiness. The pineapple was delicious. All it needed was some salt, and it'd be perfect. Arlen Draco ❀ ♂ ❀ 18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
It was 5.30am, and Arlen was wide awake. His normal wake up time is five o'clock in the morning, but today, he was rearing to go. Normally, by this time, he'd still be running along the beach. Sand is harder to run on, after all. It helps to strengthen his muscles. After his usual run, he starts practicing his sword stances, slowly practicing each move. He practices the same move 100 times over. It takes a long time because he focuses on the accuracy of his moves, rather than how quick he can swing a sword.
This constant repetition leaves his muscles sore and trembling at times, but when it doesn't, he ties weights to his body and uses a heavier sword. He never goes past 10% of his body weight, but he wants to strain his muscles and the constant repetition ingrains the moves into his reflexes. He refuses to acknowledge that he's using the Chinese books he's read as ideas. To be totally honest, he truly does believe the being one with the sword nonsense. He hopes that his muscles can reflexively remember his sword moves so that in times of danger, he doesn't have to think about how to fight, and everything becomes instinctive. He also hopes that he can use the sword as an extension of himself. If he can do that, then he'd truly be one with the sword.
Now, he was on his third sword stance, and half way through the repetitions. He was using a heavier sword, and it was straining his muscles to the extreme. Every muscle in his body were screaming for him to stop, but he persevered through it. He had to. He didn't hate his father, but he didn't love him either. To Arlen, Hades was an absentee figure in his life; one he was more than willing to forget. He still remembers the day his mother died. He was only 7 at the time, and she was still waiting for his father to return. She told him that his father was the most charismatic man she'd ever met, and none of the men she met after could ever measure up to him, not even his little brother's father.
Arlen's mother never remarried, but she did have another child. His little brother was taken after his mother died. The father found out about them living at an orphanage, and took his brother away, not even glancing at him. Sometimes he wonders if his brother still remembers him, but it'd been so long ago, and his brother was so young. He's never gone looking for his brother, since part of him was a little scared. He was scared to find that his brother had no memories of him, and treated him like a stranger. And so, he cherishes the last memories he has of his mother and brother.
Distracted by his thoughts, Arlen is brought back to reality when he makes a mistake and drops the sword. "I have to start that count again," he mutters to himself, wiping the sweat off his brow. He breathes in deeply, as he picks up the sword. He needed to focus, and start again. "You can do this, Arlen. Don't stop. This is a vicious world, and you need to survive."
Eyes glowing with pride and stubbornness, Arlen restarts the repetition. Caley Potter ❀ ♂ ❀ 23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:

Caley grins sheepishly at Yuda's comment. He's always silly when he's around Yuda. His president-like aura simply disappears, and it leaves him confounded. As an heir to a large company, Caley was taught how to act and behave, and yet it all washes away when he's with Yuda. It goes to show just how comfortable he felt around the young man. Here, he could relax.
"Yes. I would like pleasant weather too. Maybe tomorrow or the day after..." He thinks for a second, before nodding. "I did think about the prices too, so I have looked it up. It's just that we don't know how many guests we're going to invite or how many are actually going to attend. We don't want too much, but we can't have too little either. Maybe we can compile a list of people we wish to invite, then go off those numbers when looking at anthurium prices. I think each lady should receive a small bouquet, but each man should receive one stem. According to the prices I've found, 30 stems of anthurium flowers is $160, 40 stems is $200 and 80 stems is $330." |

Charli finished sprinkling on toppings. She was aware of Cody's gaze as she worked but didn't acknowledge it. Focus on the pizza. She willed herself. Though it was hard to not be conscious about every move she made. "I'll think about that." Her tone was not reassuring. She rationed some ingredients for both sides before putting it in the oven. "Movie time." She declared, turning towards Cody and setting a timer on her phone before she got distracted and forgot.
Charlie hooked her hand around one of Cody’s arms, leading him to the couch. Flicking the lights off in the kitchen on the way out, leaving only the oven light to illuminate the small space. She plopped herself down on the grey couch, which had a tendency to suck people in from over use by the previous owner. Motioning to sit next to her with a pat on the couch, Charli also retrieved the remote from a side table. “What should we watch?” She asked, pulling a blanket onto her lap from the back of the couch.
She was big into romance movies, as it made her happy to see people in love, even if they were just actors. Charli switched the TV to a popular streaming service and scrolled through many options for any ideas. It was no surprise that many of the suggested movies were rom coms.

Early mornings were about as low on Alexei's to-do list as spending time with his extended family, but here he was at 6AM, staring up at the white abalone walls of his cabin, unable to fall asleep. Normally, waking up early wasn't much of an issue, as he would just toss and turn for a little while before passing out again, but today was somehow different. Maybe it was the fact that his best friend at Camp Half-Blood just got a new boyfriend and he hadn't been able to hang out with her in what felt like weeks, or maybe it was the sheer rudeness he just experienced last night from his favorite pegasus when he refused to provide any more treats. Whatever it was, today just didn't seem to be his day.
Sitting up in bed, Lex turned his attention towards the ocean. The only windows in the Poseidon cabin were the ones facing the water, as if this would help him feel some sort of kinship towards a father he'd never met. He barely knew anything about Poseidon, save for some very vague commentary that his mother had divulged over the years. She never talked about him much. Sometimes, before a big exam or an important recital, Soyeon Park would say something about how if Lex's father were around, he would want his son to study, to practice, to do well. One time, during a trip to the beach, his mother had said something about his father's eyes and how they were the color of the ocean. Then she'd looked at him and said that she was glad he didn't have the same eyes.
Watching the waves crash on the shore was oddly hypnotizing and Lex thought that maybe if he just watched them long enough, he'd go back to sleep. But then, something caught his attention. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw what he thought was a glint of steel. Moving closer to the windows, he saw that there was indeed someone out on the beach. It's literally six in the morning, are they crazy? He watched as the figure dropped their sword, wiped the sweat off their brow, and suddenly felt very awake. He would recognize that face anywhere.
For the first time since he'd arrived at Camp, Lex was out the door before someone (usually his friend, but sometimes Chiron if it was particularly late) came looking for him. Running down towards the sand, he raised a hand to wave. He was rarely ever in a position to speak with the son of Hades and even when he was, the boy always seemed to brush him off and disappear somehow. Usually, Lex's friends would be with him. Usually, they would just pull on his arm and shake their heads. But today was different. He could feel it.
"Hey!" He slowed to a walk as he approached, smiling. "Arlen, right? What are you doing up so early?"

Cody Lightheart ❀ ♂ ❀ 19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOC:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
Cody was never a big fan of romance movies. He loved the bloodiest movies out there, full of action and adventure. To him, romance movies were boring, and cliche. Nothing ever changed. It was always the same boring storyline: a man and woman meet, they fall in love, they have issues that takes the whole movie to solve and then live happily ever after.
"You can choose," he smiles. He would always let Charli choose, since her opinions were the most important to him. He didn't mind watching the boring romance movies since she loved them so much. He could easily just watch her the whole time. He wraps an arm around her shoulders, allowing her to lean against him. He felt comfortable.
"What do you feel like watching today?" he asks as he settles. Having her in his arms made him feel like he could keep her safe and protected. Arlen Draco ❀ ♂ ❀ 18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IC:
Arlen put more effort into keeping his arms from shaking as he continued to count and repeat the same move over and over. He was focused, but he was also aware. He knew someone was approaching. He just didn't know who it was. Arlen was glad he had his mother's eyes and tanned complexion. The only gift he received from his father was his powers and his coal black hair. The strands were thicker than his mother's thin head of hair, and there were more of it. His hair was also dead straight and sleek, falling to the base of his neck neatly.
Right now, his hair was wet with sweat that dripped down his neck and back. His shirt was sticking to his skin, showing just how defined his ripped muscles were. It was normally hard to tell that he had muscles, since they were very lithe. He was like a panther on most days, light on his feet and ready to fight. Today though, he looked powerful. Arlen didn't want to look buff. Instead, he'd rather be lithe; an all-rounder. he doesn't want to be heavy, but he wants strength and speed combined. His wrists were strained now, the veins in his arms visible and pulsing.
As the person came closer, Arlen noticed it was the son of Poseidon. The boy was much too talkative and annoying. He was like a ball of sunshine, and Arlen didn't mix well with those types. He was tardy and didn't seem to take anything seriously. And he never took no for an answer. Every time they crossed paths, he would always try to say hi, even when Arlen every single time, brushed past him without a word. Arlen would even stare at him coldly as he did, scaring the boy's friends away, yet it didn't seem to affect the boy in the slightest. He simply grated on Arlen's nerves. Just watching him approach gave Arlen a bad feeling.
What was his name? Arlen couldn't remember. He never remembered names. They were just too insignificant in his life for him to remember them. He know's his father's name, the other Gods and Chiron's, but he could never remember the other campers. Not that he ever interacted with them anyway. All he could remember about the son of Poseidon was that his friends constantly called him Lex. He watched in the corner of his eye as the boy waves at him, and moves closer. He says something, but Arlen filters most of it out. He did hear what the boy asked though, and so he replied.
"Training," he grunts, as he continues. He had counted to 40 now, and was still going steady. The stubborn pride he had in his eyes slowly melted into the icy cold glare he had on every day. |

Shall we skip to morning?}}
Gore and blood were difficult for Charlize to watch. She would for Cody, but it sometimes made her queasy. Seeing people be hurt in real life was hard enough sometimes. That was one thing that being human had taught her, you can't protect everyone in the world. There was really only one person Charli wanted to keep safe and that was Cody. The idea felt a little selfish. Humans were selfish creatures though.
"Ookay." Charli smiled, she would try to find a compromise between genres. She relaxed into Cody as he put his arm around her. Leaning into him was inevitable, the couch would eventually squish them together anyways. Charli selected movie that was suppose to be a romantic thriller. "How about this?" She looked up at him. Her arms itched to snuggle closer to Cody. To be fully absorbed in the way he felt, he smelled and the warmth of his skin. Again, Charli had to look away, interlacing her hands together to keep them from subconsciously wandering over to Cody.

"Sure," Cody smiles. He allows her to snuggle closer, as he settles to watch the movie. As they watched, Cody's thoughts kept drifting back to Charli, and so, he ended up waching Charli's reactions instead of watching the movie. He couldn't help himself. He waited for the pizza to finish cooking, and offered to grab it, so Charli could continue to watch.
The movie was over rather quickly for Cody, so he suggested she could pick a second. During this second movie, Cody was lulled to sleep by the plot. He started dreaming of his time back in Hell. It was a day when he caught some demons killing innocents. He was furious, tailing them and saving a few innocents, before utterly destroying the demons that dared to do such a thing.
Although Hell was the home for demons and devils, it was actually a place for evil, unless you were born there. Those that were born in Hell still had pure souls. It's just that they drew the short straw in the lottery of reincarnation. Unless you killed people, or harmed them, your soul will be washed clean to be reincarnated once more. Those that were killed would be sent to Hell without reincarnation, whereas those that were good Samaritans would end up in Heaven, also without reincarnation.
Everyone else would be sent into a lottery as pure souls. Those that were lucky, would go to Heaven to be reborn. Those that were unlucky would go to Hell. And those that were in the middle would go back to Earth to be reborn there. It was simply how it worked in this world. There would be times when new souls are born too. Those are especially pure, since they are formed from nature and still brand new with no sins attached. Those are the souls demons loved to corrupt the most.
Cody woke up the next day. |

Although fully engrossed in the first movie, the second movie was a bit too much, especially after eating pizza. Charli had felt herself become drowsy with a full tummy and had drifted off somewhere in the middle, her head resting on Cody for support. She only stirred once when she felt particularly chilly and made sure both her and Cody had equal share of the blanket before drifting back off. Careful, of course, not to wake the man on the sofa with her.
Charli frequently dreamt of Heaven, a place full of light and pride. It was also distorted by arrogance, as some Angels believed they were entitled to things since they were so pure or just lucky enough to be there. Charlize personally felt suffocated by their attitudes. Thankfully her mind was still tonight. Sometimes those dreams become nightmares of her own insecurities, chipping away at any confidence the young angel had.
30 minutes before the sunrise, never later, but sometimes earlier, Charli woke. She was aware of Cody's arm still around her shoulders and her heavily slouching against him. Was it wrong to pretend she was asleep and stay there like that? What harm could it really do? Charli analyzed her ceiling for a while and realized how many cobwebs were in the corners. Somehow she would need to remember to vacuum those up next time she cleaned. All the while, Charli didn't move, until the sun began to peak in through the blinds. She really hated to wake him but she also really needed to use the restroom. So, for an escape attempt Charli gently took Cody's hand in hers and unraveled herself from his grasp.
"Oops. Good morning." Charli saw Cody begin to stir. "I didn't mean to wake you." Her tone was soft and hushed and apologetic as she wiggled herself the rest of the way off the couch.

Yuda smiled to himself. He was glad to still be able to joke around with Caley. It brought some form of normalcy back into his life. Reminding him of when they were younger. It helped make the arranged marriage less awkward. He shifted to face Caley a bit better, as he was growing more relaxed in the conversation, so he felt it was appropriate to be facing who he was talking to.
"Sounds like it will be doable as it doesn't seem like it will be much," he said. They would need to plan and figure out if it was going to be a large or a small wedding, so they would be able to order the anthurim flowers according. "Either day sounds fine, it would be good to get it done as soon as possible though, with how much we need to do."
