~Caroline~

Caroline looked around at the short-ish ceilings, and the bare walls. It was so simple and small. It was adorable. Caroline took a deep breath and smiled. When Hawke asked her to help him unpack, she nodded. She started taking things out of the two boxes that they brought, and made sure her hands were full until she asked, "Where do you want me to put these?" She saw a small kitchen, which his kitchen utensils would go in, if he had any. They were standing in the living room, there was a bathroom, and she knew that there was a bedroom, probably with a bathroom in it, too. After putting the stuff where Hawke had told her to, (Just pretend that happened...) Caroline walked back into the living room and grabbed some more stuff. As she did, she asked, "What will our sleeping arrangements be?"

Hawke paused at her question. The sun was starting to do down towards the horizon, getting closer and closer to nightfall. For a moment Hawke felt a little idiotic that he had given the dilemma no thought whatsoever. "Well.." He started hesitantly, running his fingers through his short dark-honey hair awkwardly. "I am going to sleep in the bedroom. You may sleep wherever you want. Honestly just make yourself at home since I doubt that any Tend it could really get a job and a home all too quickly, no offense." He looked around the small apartment, trying to think of a place to suggest. The bedroom was the only real room, and then there was the living room, bathrooms, and kitchen. He knew the gentlemanly thing to do would be to offer up the bedroom, but that, he decided, would be weird and he liked sleeping in an actual bedroom anyway. For a moment he felt a little guilty lying to her. About who he was. But the hardest part about telling the truth would be explaining why he didn't have any wings, and he didn't want to do that, and besides there was no good way to bring it up now. He tried to imagine her reaction if he just came out and said, "By the way I'm a tendit too, surprise!" So he just waited for her response.

~Caroline~

Caroline nodded, and looked around at the floor. "I guess I could just sleep in here. It would be hard for a tendit to find a job and home, I guess. Considering we are not even supposed to be out in the human world, anyways." She snickered a bit. "what is the point in having us, anyways. Yeah, I realize that we have better skills and brains than humans, but... But we have feelings and minds on our own. We like to- to feel and live and have fun. Not just train to be ready to obliverate man-kind. We need to be treated like any other human being, not any less or more special."

{{Sorry this is so short! I didn't know what else to write...}}

(It's okay! In your next post can you make Caroline walk in on Hawke right after he's out of the shower? Not sexual I swear I just want her to see his wing-stubs and find out his secret. He'll be wearing pants or a towel or something).

"Because.... I think humans are afraid of tendits, of what is not their own. It motivates the tendits to fight back against that predisposed prejudiced hate... It makes them more vicious, I would think. And as far as having their own feelings and wanting to have fun, while that is true once someone gets inside your mind it can be hard to push them out..." Hawke coughed, realizing he was speaking from an experience that he was not supposed to have. "At least I would imagine, I mean.... You'd know better, it's just... There have been documentaries." Documentaries, a weak sidestepping of the issue of why he knew too much. "Well," he said abruptly, before she could question him. "Carrying all that heavy stuff in the humidity made me work up a sweat. Gonna go take a shower." With that he quickly walked out of the room. He turned on the water for the shower, letting it get hot before shedding his clothes and stepping in.

After turning the water off, he rubbed himself dry with a red towel he'd carried into the bathroom. He put on his pants and brushed out his hair, but realized he'd left his shirt in the unlocked bedroom. He glanced at the mirror. His back was lean, and muscular, but on his shoulderbladew where his wings should have sprouted there was that ugly wound. It had scabbing flesh around hallow bone, cut and filed down to look streamline to his back on either shoulder blade. It made him cringe looking at it. The memory of doing it was fresh. At least it kept him safe from suspicion though, better than Caroline's wings poorly hidden under a sweatshirt. Anyone with a little bitterness could turn her in, but he was relatively safe. He told himself the pain was worth it. He had other hairline scars across his chest too, but they were much harder to notice. Most of them were inflicted by doctors and gaurds he'd attacked. Some were self-inflicted during his spurts of flashbacks and depression. He shuddered, being in the Facility messed with his mind, he was well aware, it had turned him into something less than human. He wondered how Caroline coped with it so well, or if she had hidden demons, too. He opened the bathroom door to make a dash to his shirt.

{{No problem! I would love to do that, cuz this ship has sailed all the way in my head.}}

~Caroline~

Caroline sat around as she waited for Hawke to get out of the shower. She decided to go explore while she was waiting. She walked in all the corners of the kitchen and living room, thinking about what Hawke had said about the tendits. How did he know about this stuff? Then again, it could have mentioned it in the documentaries he talked about. Caroline shrugged, blowing a hair from her face. When she was done exploring everywhere outside the bedroom, she hesitantly walked to the door. She knocked very softly and pressed her ear to the door. The shower was still running-at least it sounded like it was- so Caroline thought it would be okay for her to go in and take a quick peak. She slowly opened the door, and poked her head in, seeing no one, so she stepped in, and looked around.

{{Hope it is okay that I do this, but... Bump?}}

))Hey, friends. It's classicalTea, the girl that played Tabitha at the beginning of this roleplay. I recently have gotten more time on my hands and the circumstances that made me have to temporarily quit were abolished, so I was wondering if I was capable of rejoining at this point. Thanks! CT((

[Avaloni]

Hey there Tea!!
I missed ya!
You missed a lot. Almost everybody left almost at the same time. My charrie Anastasia and also the twins have gone dormant, but I have a new(ish) guy Hawks now, who lives with I'm_not_okay_I_Promise's Caroline. We're the only active two left, but even that is super low-key. I'd enjoy having you join us but be warned we're not very active now because of, you know, real life stuff.

{{Well, hello, there, Tea! We have missed ya a lot! Hope you can stay this time!}}

I'm currently working on a from for a character I have, and debating making her brother, unless my friend decides to play him. It's kind of the reverse of Tabby and Andrew, Iznaret (the girl) is not a tendit, while her brother is. She continually gives him grief over it. I'll have them up by hopefully day after tomorrow, but coding is hard and I want it to look pretty v.v ))
