Serena smiled at Edward, laughing a little. "It's Devon... And he is a bit different from me, but not by much... At least, that's what people we know say about us," she said with a smile and a bit of a laugh. It was true, after all... They were rather inseparable... And both played numerous amounts of instruments that often led to duets between the two. It was nice, Serena had to admit, to be able to play with someone else.
She heard his next question, and looked down, smiling. "It's an organization that helps people, mainly suicidal ones, though they deal with addictions also. A lot of bands sport these to promote the movement. I just got signed on with them, and they sent he a few things that I could wear, mainly during gigs and such. People always end up asking," she said as she looked down at the shirt and smiled. It was a good cause, after all... One of her friends had been suicidal... A cutter, as they say, and TWLOHA had helped her friend out just by talking to her... By making her feel like someone, really...

Edward was somewhat taken aback by her response, having expected something much more mundane. "I had not realized... I thought perhaps it was some sort of band slogan. You are not, ah... Have you... had need of their assistance?" Edward tried to ask delicately, not wishing to say anything that would upset Serena. Perhaps he should not have asked at all, but the smile on her face when she looked down at the shirt made Edward feel that perhaps her connection with the group was a more personal one. Or perhaps she just naturally cared that much about others having a rough time. He wouldn't know what that was like, really; he'd never met anyone he knew to be suicidal or addicted. "Or are you perhaps in a band?"
((ooc: I think you probably should send PMs if you haven't already. Should we just keep forging ahead or wait for more players?))

[[ 'ooc Well, I sent out PMs to people, but clearly no one has gotten back to me. Is everyone just... Gone? As for the continuing or waiting, I'm not sure. I feel that if we stopped and waited, this would most surely die... And that wouldn't be very good... ]]
Serena turned her head up to him and smiled softly. "A while back I was in need of their assistance," she said softly with a nod. She felt strangely comfortable opening up to Edward. Perhaps it was that they had shared a very moving piece of music with one another... Or perhaps it was her need to be truthful with her roommate, he guy she would be living with for the ret of the year, but she was confessing one of her darkest secrets to him. "Now, though, I've signed for my own record deal... You could say I'm in a band, in a way..." she said with a laugh. "I sport this to promote the movement," she finished with a nod of her head as she began to stretch and look around. Outside, the sky was darkening, and she hadn't realized how late it had truly gotten. Turning to Edward, she smiled and stood. "Would you like to go and get a bite to eat?" she asked him curiously.

"Oh, I am not hungry." Edward says just before his stomach grumbles loudly at the very mention of food. He looks down at it in surprised accusation, holding a hand against the offending body part as if to hush it. "I just ate not all that long ago... Before I left the house, I had breakfast, then..." The more Edward thinks about it, the more he realizes he hasn't actually had anything to eat since his mother forcibly sat him in front of a plate of bacon, eggs and toast that morning. "Oh good lord, what time is it now? It is already getting dark!" He exclaims, his eyes having gone to a window.

[[ 'ooc Sorry, doing a bit of a time skip just because... >___< ]]
She smiled, laughing a little as she heard his stomach growl. "Playing music takes up a lot of time, after all," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. She reached casually into her pocket and pulled out her cell, texting her brother. "I'm sure Devon's hungry..." she said with a laugh and a bit of a smile as she flipped the cell closed, waiting for his reply. After all, Devon was always hungry.
Devon had been sleeping the entire day away, and it was only until his sister texted him that he woke up and groggily left the room without another thought. she had mentioned food in her text, after all. Coming to a stop before the door, he opened it, yawning, and smiled. "Rena, I swear to God, you can waste your entire day away on music," he said drowsily, standing in the door way.
Serena's eyes narrowed before she laughed and shook her head. "And Devon, you could waste your days away sleeping," she said, knowing well her brother had probably done just that. "Anyways, Devon, this is Edward, the guy I've been wasting my day away with..." she said with a joking smile and looked at Edward. "Edward, this is my loving brother, Devon," she said, a sarcastic tone on the "loving".

Edward smiles politely when Devon arrives. Serena's introduction elicits a small chuckle from him. "Wasting? I beg to differ. Not a moment was wasted. It is a pleasure to meet you, Devon." He rises from his seat and steps forward to offer his hand. The other boy's hair was tousled and his eyes seemed almost to want to shut of their own accord. Perhaps he really had been sleeping; he certainly appeared to be barely awake. "I am your sister's room mate. So far I dare say we are getting along quite well. I hope you have found a similarly accommodating situation."
