[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] After showering and dressing for the day Elizabeth gone to the bags on the dresser, pulling out a small Christmas tree and placing it on the desk as it was the only surface in-between the two beds so it felt like a fitting place. It was tiny and fake but seemed better than nothing. Once that was done she checked her phone, figuring she should send a text to Bronagh with her dorm number, saying it was no party but she was free to hang out of if she wished. Hopefully Allison wouldn't mind... Another one was sent to Anthony, but it was unlikely that he would show. In fact she was pretty sure the only reason why he replied to any of her texts was so that she wouldn't go to check on him in person, proving he had yet to accept what she had done. What a shame... For a moment the dark haired girl stared blankly into space, sighing softly at the thought. Still dazed Elizabeth returned to the dresser, deciding to simply move Allison's and Bronagh's gifts into two empty, separate bags as she had not bought any wrapping paper. They should just be grateful they got anything at all, really. And if they didn't like them then oh well, she bought Allison's right after getting Anthony so both were video games so it would just be two for him. And Bronagh's would do just fine for her. In any case Christmas morning was proving boring though at least it seemed to have snowed plenty and as winter was her favorite season Elizabeth found herself in a nice mood, thus explaining the gifts. Hopefully it'd last.
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Indifferent ► Subject: N/A ► OOC: N/A ] "I doubt we will wish for you to leave." When they arrived at the estate the gates opened for them without the need to com in, revealing the fact he had been waited for. And for a while, making it clear to him that a lecture was in store for him. He just hoped it could be put off until after his guests had left. Thankfully, though, neither parent was seen as Elliot entered the main house with James holding Olivia and Theodore following. The two would have a room to themselves. He entered his own room (redecorated again, and without his permission...) which was connected to a small bathroom where his second shower of the day was taken before sleepwear was put on. And with that the boy laid down and went to sleep.
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Indifferent ► Subjects: 002; Olivia + 005; Theodore ► OOC: N/A ] Nodding at Theodore's words of gratitude Elliot was relieved for the other to be okay and for the fact that he was able to assist him. A small mumble saying 'of course' was given before the two began their exit. Understandably so, as standing around here while it was getting late and with neither liking the labs very much made little sense. "I have. And I hope for the same with you." He actually meant it too, because Theodore was alright. For a human. And with him made three people that were tolerable in this world and who he had wished for best for. After stepping outside Elliot took a moment to examine the sky, having paid little mind to the snow till now. Will it continue into tomorrow? The clouds seemed to say yes. Hm...while not being a fan of said weather or Christmas it seemed fitting enough and so he moved on to the waiting James that stood by the car. And once they were close enough the backdoor was opened. "Good day, sir," The seemingly overly formal driver greeted Theodore with a smile and waited for both to be in the backseat before he could close the door and return to the driver's seat. Once in Elliot noticed that Olivia was still asleep so he sat away from her, giving the moron some space. "Sorry about h-her, we were headed to my house for Christmas. Want to come along? Or be dropped off elsewhere?"
At the mention of her name Yana's head perked up. So, Anora was introducing her. This at least spared the girl from the tedious task of saying her name too many times, though perhaps it would need to be repeated again for others. No matter, so long as it was taken care this time as it gave her more of a chance to study the others. When Kross turned to her she returned his nod and greeted the boy with a small 'hey' before falling back into silence. Ah, so there was another world of talking animals... She really was wondering how many of those were out there.
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] Familiar faces were seen throughout the mall but for the most part they had been ignored as Elizabeth wished to focus only on the present she had to get. Though once it was bought she realized she did say a small party, or well maybe gathering, might happen tomorrow. To be nice like this...sigh. In any case she ended up buying a few decorations and other items before checking out and headed back to the dorms. Once there she set the bags on the dresser before laying down and going to sleep.
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Conflicted ► Subjects: 002; Olivia + 005; Theodore ► OOC: N/A ] After hearing what had happened Elliot promised that he would be there soon and, after giving the other some time to reply, hung up. A shot of guilt hit him as he realized this would be yet another ruined appointment but after explaining what happened to Olivia he felt as if it would be okay (even if she appeared annoyed). Besides, it was just her. And Theodore being stuck was a much more pressing matter. So they left, going back to the car and a waiting James. What a patient man. Hopefully patient enough to go in the opposite direction now and with another passenger, as the dolt decided to tag along. Once the car had pulled into the parking lot at Antilum Labs Elliot exited with a low level access card, one that seemed to have been left in the car by his father in hopes that he would come around more often. Foolish man. He crossed the bridge and made his way to the elevator, finding the control panel near by. It was opened and the card was swiped, returning power to the elevator. Hopefully that would be enough for Theodore to get free.

[ Contact Information ► Mood: Conflicted ► Subjects: 002; Olivia + 005; Theodore ► OOC: N/A ] There was no surprise that she would do this but even so, when Olivia jumped up Elliot appeared to be somewhat startled, his reaction mocking someone jumping at the sight of a ghost despite them knowing full well that it was a fake. It was rather silly. "I knew I should have just left you to wither away here," he sighed, "no one would miss such a lunatic after all." The same reaction as before happened as he was caught, thought an attempt to brush the whole ordeal off was made. But being one who never exercised it was rather hard to escape now. And the music soon began playing, making it seem that he would be trapped here until the appointment was declared over. This was soon proved to be incorrect. It was hard to hear over the noise but a phone was ringing and when he checked it turned out to be his. "I-I must get this. So p-pardon me, you daft dolt," he said, shifting to reach into his pocket and retrieve the device. Oh, Theodore. It had been a while since the two conversed so Elliot was surprised by this turn of events. He'd ponder the reasons why but there was no need to keep the other waiting any longer so the call was accepted. "Hello?"

being saved for tomorrow rp time wise
Scarlet made her way to the Teleport Gate and transferred to floor 10 where she met up with another player. He was from the guild, short and lanky with short brown hair and a crooked smile. Most would say he hardly seemed like a fighter but he has done well keeping order on this floor. But now it seemed like help was needed. "Ma'am!" He saluted, being overly formal per usual. "The Rouges," a small guild of misfit thugs, "have ceased fighting for the day but promised to return tomorrow!" With a wave of her hand she silenced him. "Thank you for your diligence and for contacting me, Kiliak. We will handle it, but for now I'm rather tired." "Of course, the two of you may stay at my place." "Will there be room for more? Since others may be close behind." "Remember my dream of opening an Inn? Well this is the place! It hasn't officially opened yet so it's completely empty," he replied with a bright smile, leading them to the place afterwards. And while he did so Scarlet made a guild wide message to update everyone of Floor Ten's status as well as give the location of the Inn for anyone else who may be coming. Once inside she found herself a room and tucked herself in bed after changing from armour to a casual set of clothes made as sleepwear. It was not long after that when she drifted into a peaceful slumber. Soon it was midnight, marking the start of the new day. Morning will not be far behind. 2024January 2nd [ooc; giving some time for people to wrap things up, which means a few posts before the sun starts rising.]
Okay. Minato is accepted btw.
[ Contact Information ► Mood: Conflicted + Worried ► Subject: 002; Olivia ► OOC: N/A ] That girl did not reply the night before and now the day was nearly half way through. How annoying. Elliot sat at his desk writing up notes concerning this supposed game as both as something needed to be done and a distraction to pass the time. Though it hardly helped as he would often pick up his phone and tumblr to check for new messages. On top of that he even began going through his old ones, just in case something had been missed. While doing so the text from his father appeared on the screen once more, still unread. Oh. There were two messages. Sigh... He really did not wish to see them but he had said he'd even ask his father for permission to have a family doctor help Olivia. And even if the fool had not replied it would be inappropriate to make that offer and then have to take it back because his dad got offended by the lack of replies. So the messages were opened. What a wonderful start to not seeming ungrateful. After moving to pack his notes and a few other things in his school bag, Elliot grabbed two small gift boxes wrapped in brown paper with a lazily tied "bows" around them. (More like simple purple strings.) With these things he exited his room and headed for the parking lot, but on the way there a familiar little bird perched near by. Why was Viola here? The question was soon answered as a recording began to play and throughout it Elliot could only blankly stare at the thing. "Don't you think you're being..." he mumbled, wishing to ignore what he had just heard but found it impossible to do so. Even if it all was just some joke he couldn't leave the girl on her own. She was far too stupid for that, it seemed. Once outside James, the newly hired driver, waved with a smile. The lad then opened the back door for Elliot who slid in before announcing they were making a stop on the way to his home. And with that they were off. It wasn't long before he made it to the burnt mansion, leaving the driver with the car, and found the old workshop. Was rather easy to get to there, especially as he ignored everything else by putting his full attention on finding Miss Idiot. And sure enough there she was, laying on the ground like a useless dolt. A moment was spared to stare at the girl with disbelief before he moved closer, reaching out his hand to help her up yet again. Was this going to become a frequent event? "You could have skipped the dramatics."
It's perfect .
What floors are everyone on?
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] A last wish? It was an interesting thought. "No it's okay, I don't mind answering. Hm...really, all I wish to do is protect my brother and ensure that he is happy. There's really nothing I want for myself." After speaking she stood, looking down at her watch. "And I apologize, but speaking of the boy I really must go and buy his present before it gets too late. It's been nice talking to you, I hope to see you tomorrow." A slight bow of the head was given before she walked off, returning to the first floor and hailing a cab once outside. It took her to the mall which she began to wander, thoughts of gifts following through her mind.
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] When Bronagh started to say her number Elizabeth took out her phone and began inputting the digits. And to be honest she probably would have just sent a text anyway, to save herself from having to recite the numbers out loud. It wasn't exactly her favorite thing to do. With that sent she pocketed the cell with a smile. "There we go." It was a shame Bronagh wasn't leaving today because then they would have been able to go to the mall together. Though she wasn't sure she wanted that...it would be more of a way to see the other girl's interests and nothing more so hardly worth it. And then she started saying something but her sentence trailed off. Elizabeth gave it a moment before speaking herself. "Yes?"
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] Views on this girl remained unclear but might as well. "We could exchange numbers so if you're still free tomorrow I can text you if any party plans come up. Will probably be only a small thing if anything does happen, but might as well?"
[ ◦ ♥ ◦ ♠ ◦ ♣ ◦ ♦ ◦ ] There wasn't much so say at her rant so Elizabeth merely nodded through it. "Ah, no worries. I don't mind listening." Then the change of topic struck her. Right...tomorrow was Christmas, wasn't it? Sighing and placing her hands in her face she felt defeated. "Damn...I forgot it was already here and I haven't bought anything for him yet..." This could very well end up being the first year since she could talk that she didn't make or buy Anthony a gift. That hurt. But, really, with everything it was no surprise the day slipped her mind. Not to mention she couldn't exactly go shopping before they moved to the dorms as she was hiding from the cops. But no excuses. Moving her hands away from her face she took a deep breath. She can get someone on the way back, right? So carrying on... "So, as you can see, I don't really have plans... You going to get out of here in time to do something?"
