Edward
Room
Song

Edward put Tsuki to bed, "it's ok. rest well." out of the corner of his eye he saw an unmistakable scar hidden beneath the slightly ajar watch. his heart sunk as it's meaning sunk in and he looked up at Tsuki in a new light. he knew he was having a hard time, but he didn't know how hard. but the scar seemed a couple years old, so maybe he was in a better place now he was out of his house? Edward hoped so. that didn't mean he wouldn't be keeping a closer eye on his young renter. he knew he wouldn't be able to live with seeing someone else close to him die. he made sure Tsuki was sleeping before heading to his own room to finish studying and go to sleep. he just hoped that he wouldn't have nightmares tonight, but he doubted that would happen, especially with how things had been going lately.

((time skip))

~Shima - Bedroom/Bus~
Shima heard his alarm the first time. He heard his alarm the second time. He even heard his alarm the second and third time, knowing he had to get up soon for school, but that didn't stop him from smacking his snooze button a few more times. After he heard his alarm for the sixth time, he bothered to open one eye at the clock and see what time it was. 7:30 AM. "Crap! The bus is going to be here any minute!" He cursed in a low and tired voice. Once he stretched his arms and legs Shima moved so swiftly you'd have thought it was a flash tornado. He hopped through his room and into the bathroom trying to get his pants on. Once he finished using the bathroom he ran back to his bedroom for a shirt, shoes, and his backpack. Before he knew what time it was Shima was chasing the bus down the street and practically waking up the whole neighborhood along the way. He would suffer the lecture about missing breakfast when he came back from school.

~Saia - Bedroom/Front Porch~
Saia woke up surprisingly early, earlier than normal anyways. Judging from the sounds of the alarm next door to him, Shima hadn't woken up just yet. He knew if the boy didn't wake up soon he'd be late for school again, a lesson that perhaps needed to be learned the hard way. Saia used the bathroom for a short time before grabbing his cigarettes before making his way down the stairs slowly, only to find a whirlwind had rushed past him and out the door without bothering to close it behind him. Saia didn't pay Shima any mind as he tried to catch his bus, which he did about a block later. Saia sat down on that familiar first step and lit his cigarette to start his morning. Sometimes it was nice waking up early; the little kids would wait outside for their bus to arrive, some were walking to school or skateboarding. A peaceful morning but busy as well.

Edward
dining room
Song

Edward woke up in a tangled ball of sheets. he gasped as he struggled to get free, ripping the cloth in his fear induced hast. he fell off the bed and quickly scrambled back until he hit the wall where he curled up, his knees drawing up to his chin where he stayed, shivering from the cold sweat that covered his body. he dropped his head and held onto his legs, waiting for the panic attack and fear to fade. he must have fallen back asleep, because it was light out when he woke to the sound of an alarm down the hall. Edward lifted his head and looked at the door, confused. he wasn't sure where he was, his mind hazy with sleep and nightmares. it wasn't until the sixth alarm and Shiloh yelled that Edward fully woke and remembered. he was in his home. he was back in America and there wasn't some Arab outside of his door, waiting to hurt him. the worst part was remembering they were dead. all of them were dead and Edward dropped his head once more, crying into his knees as grief and guilt consumed him once more. he finally wiped his eyes and made himself get up. he needed to shower and get ready for school. life goes on, even with the dead weighing it down. he showered and dressed before heading down to the kitchen. he wouldn't be able to eat, but he wanted some coffee and maybe dry toast. he stopped when he reached the kitchen, his eyes on the lanky and rather fluffy dog that was crunching away at a mix of cereal and dog food. Shiloh was eating in the dining room and Edward shook his head. of all his renters, Shiloh would be the one to bring in a dog. he made his coffee and toast and sat down across from the blonde, "pet deposit's $200, $50 of that is non-refundable." that was all he was going to say. Edward liked dogs, he just didn't like surprise dogs.

Kyran
kitchen
Song

Kyran woke to the usual sound of Shima running to school, accompanied by Shiloh's yell. he grinned a little and went back to sleep, waking up half an hour later fully awake now. he yawned and got up, not bothering to shower or change as he head down for breakfast. last night had been fun. Shiloh showed him how to cheat at poker, but he tried to figure out how to do it without cheating and was starting to get better. he wanted to play him again, or maybe one of the others that didn't cheat, and get better. or maybe he should learn another game to play with Shiloh. he stopped inside of the kitchen, his eyes wide. there was a dog. a really soft looking dog, but a dog all the same. "hello, there," he said softly, holding out his hand a little shakily. the only dogs he'd ever been around were guard dogs and they either attacked on sight or would sniff you, growl, and ignore you as a non-threat. he was ready to run if this one turned out to be in the first category.

~Shima - Outside/Home~
Shima caught up with the bus, alright. But he wasn't expecting to hear the bus driver tell him it was Sunday, once the bus pulled over that is. Shima didn't yell or curse in frustration, he simply turned on his heel and began his walk back home with a sour expression. Once he walked through the door, Shima tried his hardest not to slam it shut and made his way to the kitchen for coffee. He could see the look on Shiloh's face and knew the older man was going to give him some kind of snide remark. As soon as he saw Shiloh open his mouth, Shima covered it with his hand. "Not....a....word...." he grumbled softly, impatiently waiting for the coffee to finish brewing.

~Saia - Porch/Living Room~
Saia remained on the porch for a little longer than normal, just long enough to see Shima come back but he knew the young man wasn't in a good mood at all, and who could blame him? If he woke up that early on a Sunday, he wouldn't be very happy either. Saia came inside after Shima, taking no offense to almost having the door shut on him. He wished Edward hadn't blurted out to everyone what he was going through with his sister. Maybe he couldn't confide in Edward after all but that man was all he had. Saia made his way into the kitchen and sat on the couch, nodding off into dreamland every so often.

((alrighty, kiddos, let me tell you a thing. i'm leaving the rp because it seems like my posts aren't getting read. even after pointing it out to you, Lotus, you completely ignored that Kyran was in the kitchen with the dog trying to get her to sniff his hand. you didn't even mention him! second, Edward already made coffee so Shima wouldn't have to wait for it to brew. sorry, but i've been noticing things like this a lot and it's bull. i'm way to busy and stressed out to deal with this sort of crap. i'm out, hope you can find a new landlord at least.))

I apologize for what is going on.

I am used to skimming long drawn out paragraphs. Maybe if they were broken up a little more, then I could read it. Long paragraphs forces my eyes to jump all over it and its hard to wrangle in at the start.

Maybe I did get a little too much into character with Tsuki versus Shiloh. My brain is so imaginative that is actually gets ahead of itself. Outrageous I know.

It was never my intent to break up a RP in the first place. If I could apologize times over and even more after that, I will. I probably was letting a little bit of my real world life anger invade the RP. I also was getting a little excited about quitting my second job today. So yeah....things get complicated and get complicated fast.
