When he woke in the morning he stretched, then froze and groaned loudly, note to self, do not ever sleep like that again. Conner shook the struggling arm gently, trying to gain feeling and lose the stiffness and soreness that gripped it. Padding downstairs he rooted through the fridge and found everything he wanted to satisfy his growing teenager appetite. Cereal, toast, cinnamon rolls, juice, a leftover waffle, one and a half muffins, and some carrots. He arranged it all on the table and added milk to the cereal last, cause everyone knows that's how you avoid soggy cereal. Just before he put the milk back he unconsciously took a swig of the milk to see whether it was sweet or not, then nearly dropped the cardboard carton and had a heart attack when a shriek ripped through the air behind him. He swiveled in shock and saw Lilly looking horrified, holding three paintbrushes. "What? what's wrong are you okay!" Conner's face was pale, worried she was hurt or something. "You drank straight out of the milk! Do you have any idea how horrible that is! There's all kinds of reasons and scientific proof on why you should NEVER do that!!" Con blinked a few moments as his adrenalin drained slowly away and he began to grasp the situation. "What." He asked in disbelief. She was shaking her paintbrushes at him now. "It is a habit that must be broken! So help me! If I catch you at it again, I don't know what I will do." Con blinked a few more times with the offending carton still in his limp hand. "Your mad, about the milk?!" "Pfff. Of course!" Conner really was flummoxed, he had no idea what to say to that, so he blurted the first thought in his head. "What are you even doing here, this is Nexo's house?" She huffed again but Nexo drifting in with his empty bowl diffused the situation.

YEAH CON, NO DRINKING MILK STRAIGHT FROM THE CARTON! *whacks you with a spoon*
IT TASTES BETTER STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CARTON THOUGH.
It was Saturday morning, no one should have to get up at 8:30 on the weekend. Con gruffly shoved his irritation down and rolled over under the covers, it was for a good reason. He chanted that twenty times, convincing himself until he could force his body from the warm embrace of sleep and into the dim interior of his room. He blinked a few times and let out a yawn that ended up being big enough to grip his entire body into an enormous stretch. A few days in a heavenly bed paired with the new non-army schedule had made him miss not having them in training. After a moment of two he fully woke up and his arms and legs came on line, rolling out of bed he quickly dressed in the favored attire of jeans and a plain grey t-shirt. Flipping on a bill cap as he exited his room, he dropped down the stairs two and three at a time. Nexo had mentioned wanting to be gone by 8:50, so he needed to hurry if he was going to get to eat anything. Hurrying into the kitchen and rummaging around he managed to speed-eat five power bars, three of the doughnuts on the counter from last night, a quick bowl of cereal, and washed it all down with two vitamin waters. Nexo gave him a friendly whack on the shoulder as he passed not stopping. "Ready?" Conner snagged a banana he put in his back pocket and an apple he bit to hold onto as he grabbed his blue and white sketchers.

Man, I'm hungry. And I hope that cap is on backwards.
Landon was busily attempting to construct two lego models at a time, one with each hand. He muttered under his breath and his head whipped from side to side as his mind computed the steps from two separate instruction booklets. A couple of years ago when he had discovered that it was difficult to multitask, to combat that news he had come up with a game to challenge and push himself. And what better type of game then one that included lego, one of his passions. He had one challenge per week, each one had to be harder to some degree than the last one. This one was providing three-fold difficulties. Not only were the models, and therefore, the instructions completely brand new to him, but he was not inherently ambidextrous. On top of that he was playing particularly annoying music in the background to make it harder to switch from one thing to the other fluidly. It was quite a good test he had to admit. However the ringing noise in underlay of the tuba section was really starting to grate his nerves. Glancing over to his phone to see how long he had been working at the architectural assembly he realized that the ringing was actually a text from Danny King. After giving it a quick read he sighed longingly, his challenge would have to wait. At least it was delayed for a very worthy cause.
Con climbed into the rental car and clicked his seat belt into place, wrinkling his nose at the weird rental/too clean car smell. Lilly slid into the passenger seat and after he had stowwed the luggage Nexo got in and started the car. Lilly nudged Nexo, "You could have used my car." Nexo's grin was wry, "I couldn't seem to find the keys." Lilly paled, "Oh." Then she dug around in the carryon bag by her feet feverishly. She chuckled weakly, "Heh, here they are. That was stupid of me." "Don't worry, King told me to borrow this one. And he wants to talk to us." Con watched, brow furrowed as they're eyes met briefly in some kind of unspoken conversation. "We should drop by the hotel then, I'm sure Con is tired. You won't want to sit through all that boring business stuff will you?" Con opened his mouth to reply to her but his brother quietly cut him off. "Actually, King wants ALL of us to talk with him. Were going there now." Lilly didn't seem to know how to interpret that so she leaned towards the window and went deep into thought. Now Con was a thinker, and these veiled comments had him wondering. He was getting very curious as to what all the roundabouts where for. Fortunatly he had not long to wait. The car pulled up in front of a normal enough looking building. In fact it almost looked like it could be someone rich's summer home. But there was something secretive about it. Con stepped out and streched next to the car. He took a deep rejuvenating breath... then coughed as the nearby city air hit his unaccustomed lungs. Following behind his brother he took smaller careful breaths. If this was what the quality of life was going to be here, he wondered if he could get his brother to move to Ireland. Once Conner had stepped through those doors it was like a whole new world compared to the outside of the building.

Well, I have delivered on my promise. Finally. Sorry about the wait guys, there should be moar hopefully soon.
So any of the things said by characters in these chapters are totally not real and neither I nor the users playing them hold those opinions, unless otherwise expressed by me or them. They're only there because I'm doing my best to make it realistic. XD
After that disclaimer, anyone have any questions about the characters? I can tell ages, countries, and various other things but I reserve the right to not answer questions that would have spoilers. Or simply because I didn't know the answer. XD Anyways ask me anything!
Time for some fun trivia!! Please submit all your answers in jammers. Were going to play guess the character. How it works is I will write down the in story names of everyone who has shown up so far. Then you all get to guess the user that played them. Most of them will be easy, but who knows.
1. Conner Oakhurst 2. Nexo Oakhurst 3. Danny King 4. Damian Swent 5. Lilly Shaw 6. Elliea Tanter 7. Wanda Andertol 8. Carter Whyerp 9. Alexander Rome 10. Luke Andrew Falton 11. Dr. Dylan Mathews 12.
