I watched with amusement from the trees as a girl was almost hit with a frisbee. I think I knew the boy that threw it too. He was a character. I watched as the girl walked over to the area I was in and sat on the ground, tearing up the grass and watching people. With a smirk I jumped down from the branch, landing in a crouch.

"Hello there. You know the grass has feelings too, right?" I smirked a little and stood. I was normally shorter than others, but she was sitting so I was taller. It was nice for a change. I peered out over the park for a second, taking in the other people, before turning back to the girl and waiting for a response.

As I sat at the table, a frisbee whizzed by a girl and landed right on my table. I stood and threw it back to the kid. "You might wanna watch where you're throwing that thing!" I chuckled a little and decided to walk a little. I headed over to the entrance of the park, intent on heading down to get ice cream and then returning. As I did, I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone.

I lookedaround instantly. "Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention..." The person was a girl in a blue dressand boots. Odd, but I was in the park in dress clothes. When I was nervous, upset or embarrassed, my British accent came through loud and clear. "Are you alright?" I offered her my hand. "My name is Len."

Acacia Evalinn

Acacia's gaze scanned over the park from face to face, trying to see who stood out. She could see the boy who had almost hit her get his frisbee back from another, dressed up-looking boy who soon got up and walked off in some other direction. Another one was sitting at a table, hunched over a book. Her brow furrowed for a moment before she turned to watch a small group of kids circle a tree whilst yelling something. "Creepy." she muttered, lifting a brow. Suddenly a thump sounded near her and she lifted her head to see a girl with shaggy white hair rise from a crouched position. It was apparent that she was short, despite standing over Acacia.
She glanced down at the torn up grass in her fingers and shrugged, picking up one of the already torn blades. "If they do, they don't let on." she eyed it as though it might actually start protesting before placing it back on the ground. "Who're you? I'm Acacia." she stood and brushed herself off, extending a hand expectantly.

Nika rolled her eyes when she saw a little kid crash into another. She remembered when she had played at the park, but it was normally alone. It's funny how people avoid you just because your from somewhere else.
Just then, someone collided into her, and she stumbled back. She turned to see who it was, opening her mouth to apologize, but he beat her to it. He's embarrassed. She could tell instantly, just by his body language. "No, I'm sorry. I was... uh... in the way." She bit her lip. That came out stupid. "And I'm Nika, Nika Light. It's nice to meet you, Len."

[-Starchild.Keith-]

My smirk spread a bit as I watched her. "I suppose you're right. My name is Danika. Nice to make your acquaintance, Acacia." I leaned back against another tree and looked out over the crowd. It was rare for me to talk like this, but I was so utterly bored I figured that I'd give it a shot. "So, what are you doing over here by yourself? People watching?"

I turned to look back out over the park. Somehow, before my eyes, a family of four seemed to transform themselves into our family before they died. I gasped slightly and shook my haed.

I smiled as the girl introduced herself. "It's very nice to meet you as well, Nika. If you're going into the park, I would watch out for the guy with the frisbee and dog. He isn't a very good aim." I chuckled a little bit and sighed, taking in a deep breath of the fresh air. It was wonderful in this town. The seasons weren't extreme and the flora and fauna were different than Japan. I also loved not having fangirls squee everywhere I went, and I no longer received fan mail. This was the perfect life.

The park was actually better than he thought. Johnny had never been there, since he heard it was mostly for children, but he needed a change of scenery and natural light. He had spent most of his time either at school or at home, doing whatever. He needed to relax and socialize again.

There were some other teenagers here, too. There was a guy listening to his iPod, a girl jogging, the Japanese guy, and someone else who almost got hit with a Frisbee. Maybe he should come here more often. Apparently a lot of kids came here to hang out.

Johnny leaned up against a tree and watched the people.

Acacia Evalinn

Acacia placed her hand back down and shoved her thumb into her pocket before letting her hand hang there, noticing for the first time that she was about an inch taller. "The pleasure is mine." she bent at the waist, giving a joking bow as though she had just gotten done performing. A small grin splayed on her lips as she stood back up, glancing back out at the people in the park. "I suppose you could say that." Chest heaving as she gave a deep sigh, her look turned to one of question as she noticed yet another kid come to the edge of the park and lean against a tree. Her gaze went back to the middle of the park, blocking out the shrill shriek of a young girl who appeared to be playing tag.
Hearing a small gasp from Danika, she half turned her head to look at her. "Are... You alright?"

[-Starchild.Keith-]

When I heard Acacia's voice, I snapped back to the present. The vision was gone and the family had moved on, waling over towards the playground. I felt a pang of sadness but just brushed it away. I turned to Acacia. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's... nothing." I waved my hand, dismissing the whole thing before looking around the park again. There seemed to be many more teenagers here than normal, which was rather weird. Maybe it was because school just got out last week and everyone was bored.

Waking up was horrible. Especially the way he was woken up, everyday. It wasn't his fault he was such a heavy sleeper, he couldn't ever figure out why he slept so much anyways. It just felt like he was always tired. He went to bed when he was told, and he woke up when he was woken. But, he was always somewhat tired. Ignoring that feeling, he heard his stomach growl, like usual as well.

Still soaking wet, he got up and glared at the kid who enjoyed doing that every morning, his brother. Dripping with water, he sighed and moved around him, who was still snickering, and grabbed his clothes. He loved his brother, and his family, but they did get on his nerves sometimes. He took a quick shower and changed into his dry clothes quickly. He had better not have been late. Like Monday, and Wednesday. Several other things happened that day, but he had gotten in trouble for it as well. Irked about being wet again, he stalked out of the room and down the rickety old stairs, making sure to miss the one that was broken, lest he fall through it like that idiot clown of a brother did. He couldn't remember how it happened, yet it was funny. He remembered laughing his butt of and being told to knock it off by his mother.

A frown adorning his face, he walked into the small but large dining area. His mother was sitting down reading a book she had been enjoying for the passed couple of days, his father probably having gone to work, was no where to be found. He walked over and sat at the table, not wanting to go outside just yet. As nice of a day it was, since he had woken up late, it would be a horrible headache to go out to the squealing kids and barking canines. Of course, he didn't dislike the kids, he enjoyed them immensely, but just waking up fifteen minutes ago and going out there gave him a headache. Not to mention he got them fairly easy, thus he was easily annoyed.

His mother looked up from the book she was reading and smiled, "Hello, Neah. Did you rest well? After all, you were asleep a long time." She knew not to ask if he was ill since he slept so long, and thus did not. He responded back politely,
"I slept fine. I know that as well." Muttering the last part he said, "Not to mention you let that Clown spill water on me again." He glared at the table and heard his mother laugh at the comment, "Well, Neah, it's the only way to get you up sometimes. At least it didn't happen on Tuesday, right? Think positively, quit being pessimistic." Watching his mother laugh, he kept a strait, annoyed face before laughing with her. When his brother came down and asked why, he only laughed more.

A couple minutes after that, he said a good-bye and walked outside. His mother had told him to get some things before he came back, so why not get them now? Hmm, she told me to get some vegetables, fruits, some stuff to make cake with, and other things that I don't remember at the moment. Hmm, what kinds of vegetables and fruits? Why can't she make a list or something? He sighed and walked passed the park, turning and looking at everyone hanging out there or playing with their dogs. A smile gracing his lips he turned back around and began to walk to the nearest stores, he might need to visit the park later.

(I'll be gone for most of this week, starting tomorrow. I'll try to get on and respond when I can and have internet access! Sorry about that. >-< )

Acacia Evalinn

Acacia looked at her for a moment, curious. She finally followed Danika's gaze out to the park, giving a sigh. People were interesting, sure, but just watching them for more than ten minutes grew tedious. Her body shifted as she looked further up into the forest, giving a thoughtful look. Her parents had never told her of the mines that lay somewhere up there, and she couldn't exactly blame them. It would only peak her curiosity and make her want to go explore. But, with the talk of other students and the town being named after the mines and all, it wasn't exactly a mystery as to how she had learned of them. Of course her parents were right, it was just she had never actually gone up to find them before. "Danika, have you ever seen the mines?" she asked, still looking up past the trees. The shouts of people and chirps of birds hung in the background as she spoke to the other girl, rolling her shoulders and clenching her jaw when her elbow scraped against the bark of the tree next to her.

(That's perfectly ok. Thank you for giving me a heads-up!)

At the mention of the mines, I shook my head. "No, I have only heard a little about the mines in general. I just moved here less than a year ago, probably closer to six months actually. I don't know anyone here either. Well, now I know you." I grinned slightly and looked up at the mountains looming over the park. Mines, huh? That sounded rather interesting. I laughed a little. "If the mines are so secluded and mysterious, why don't we go explore them?"

Alright, everyone. We aren't going to post anymore until the others have posted at least once. This inclues: DarlingLady and Alice Everdeen. Once they have both posted, we shall move on with the plot. Remember, I shall post something about the mine actually collapsing. It will probably be very long.
