~What I've Been Through~
Edward grew up in a normal life with few but close friends. After he turned 18 he entered the army as sniper with his few friends. They became the elites together, but the elite are the first ones targeted. One by one he watched his friends die, until there was only himself and his best friend, and lover, left. They were working together on a mission when their location was leaked and they were taken captive. Edward doesn’t know how long they were tortured. Between the beatings, sleep deprivation, hunger and thirst, his mind lost all concepts of time. When it became obvious that they either weren’t going to tell or didn’t know the information their captives wanted, he watched them kill his lover and send his head to their commanding officer, leaving the body with him in his cell. A trade was offered and made for him, but during the trade a firefight broke out and he was shot in the back. It was a year before Edward was fully recovered from his time as a captive, but even longer before he could face the world again. He lost everyone he loved and spends the nights lost in nightmares. He hates to be alone, can’t stand it, so he bought a huge house with some of the money he was rewarded with from his time in the army and has allowed people to move in and pay a low rent. This way there is always someone there, he is now training to be a doctor, wanting to have a part in saving lives rather than taking them.

~Who I Am~
Edward is protective of the boys in his home, like a mother or big brother. He is the one they come to when they have grievances or just want to talk and he has told them all his door is always open and his phone always on, no matter the time. He is laid back and seems like someone easily taken advantage of, but his years of training in the army and his time as a captive has honed his skills. He may seem like he is being deceived, but he knows what they are doing and allows it anyways, wanting to help people out in any way he can.

~What I've Been Through~
My sister got kidnapped when she was just a baby and as I was about 10 I couldn’t help her. But I’ve been searching for so long… will she be alive after seventeen years? Our parents gave up ages ago, and my youngest sister never knew her older sister so she isn’t as affected. My parents want me to give up and settle down, but how can I? I know she's out there somewhere.

~Who I Am~
This is just somewhere new to crash, so don’t go trying to make friends. I don't want to get close to anyone, because as soon as I find my sister I'm leaving this place and never turning back. Besides, who would want to hang out with someone who almost never sleeps, cries often, and occasionally puts holes in the walls?

Edward
Kitchen

Edward woke up a bit earlier than he liked to on Saturdays, one of his only days off, but his nightmare had kept him from going back to sleep. sometimes, i his dreams, it was like they were still alive. they would be together, laughing and the next moment he was watching them die, one by one, all over again. Edward had woken in a cold sweat, his heart hammering inside his chest, only to find himself alone in his room. they were dead, had been for years now. it was a cold truth, and one he didn't like revisiting. he got out of bed and took a shower, needing to wash off the sweat and memories. his room was the only one with a bathroom attached, making sense since he was the owner. there were three other bathrooms as well as a sauna, hot tub, and pool complete with an outside shower-head to rinse off with.

Clean, and feeling a little better, Edward decided to treat his tenants and make them breakfast. most of them were college students and working and he knew that the free meal would help a little as well as be a nice thing to wake up to. he made cinnamon rolls and a breakfast casserole that would be easy to reheat whenever they woke. "morning, Tsuki." he replied as the man head to the spa for his usual Saturday ritual. the rolls were just coming out of the oven and he lathered half with frosting and left the other half plain for people to frost themselves. he got one of the sticky sweet buns, poured out some hot water for tea, and served up a square of the casserole with salsa dabbed on top. he took it all to the dining room and sat down to eat at the huge table. he didn't like eating alone, but he wasn't about to go and wake others us just so they would eat with him.

Kyran
Bedroom

Kyran woke when his alarm went off and groaned softly. he had to work this morning, meaning he had to get out of his nice warm bed. he rubbed his face with a hand and stuck a foot out, shivering sadly and the mostly imagined cold. it really wasn't that bad, but he tended to cocoon himself in his blankets and make a toasty little space to sleep in. going from that to any lower temperature made him want to whine a little. but, he needed this job. they had hired him, despite his not being able to prove he was the age he claimed to be, and treated him pretty well. he was grateful and didn't want to show that gratitude by being late to work.

he built up his resolve and got out all at once, not wanting to prolong it any more than he had to. as soon as he was out, he got a pile of clothes and his shower stuff and head to the bathroom nearest his room. A quick shower warmed him up and he had stopped shivering by the time he dried off and dressed. half way to the kitchen, he smelled something good and when he stepped inside the stared at the bounty. he poked his head into the dining room and saw Edward there.

"Hey, good morning."

"Good morning, Kyran. sleep well?" Edward smiled when he saw the young man poking his head in.

Kyran smiled back, "yeah, thanks. you?"

Edward shrugged, "well enough. go ahead and help yourself to what is in the kitchen, i made it for everyone."

"Really?" Kyran got a little excited. he didn't have to have cold cereal for breakfast? that was always a bonus in his mind. "Thanks!" he hurried and got his food before joining Edward at the table to happily eat the bounty before him.

~Shima Kitchen~

The smell of hot food wafted into the cracks of Shima's door, waking him up from a sound sleep. He pushed a button on his phone to find out the time and groaned rather tiredly. Why couldn't everyone just sleep in for a change? Soon the smell awakened his stomach to a nasty start as he felt a growl from deep within him. Shima sighed, now he was never going to get to sleep. He slowly swung his feet off his bed and used his desk to help himself to a standing position, wobbling for a few moments before taking his first few steps out of the room, hissing at the sunlight like a vampire which was completely exaggerated of course. Shima moved for the bathroom first, being sure to wash his hands when he was finished, before making his way for the stairs and falling flat on his face at the third to last step. But then again this happened on a good day, Shima had a very hard time not falling down at least once during the day. Entering the kitchen with a face only a zombie could appreciate, he gave Edward a rather tired glare. "I smelled food..." he mumbled softly as he made his way to the table.

~Saia Bedroom/Front Porch~

Another night passed, another nightmare remembered. These days it seemed he couldn't sleep without having a nightmare, and even then there was no promise of staying asleep. Seventeen years had passed now, and he still had no clue what happened to his little sister. The police were a joke, you'd think after seventeen years they would have something. Saia had been awake for a couple hours before the others did and decided to be awake for the time being, knowing he would sleep later on that day. He grabbed his pack of Marlboro Red 100's, along with a lighter, and made his way for the front porch where a bench sat on the deck. Saia often came here when he became extremely frustrated but this time was different, Saia was just out of energy.

Edward
Kitchen

Edward nodded to Tsuki, "that's right." because of their different schedules, the only meal they took turns with was dinner, breakfast and lunch were on your own, unless he was feeling generous that day, or had some free time. "Good morning, Shima. there are cinnamon rolls and casserole. go and get some before you eat the table." he shook his head a little, Shima always was like that when first woken. Shiloh joined them and Edward frowned a little at his language, but said nothing, "cinnamon rolls and breakfast casserole, help yourself." he had finished his meal and got up to wash off his dishes and put them in the dishwasher, humming softly to himself as he thought about the term paper he needed to write. Tsuki and he were both going for the same degree, but he was further along than the younger man, so he understood the stress he was under.

Kyran
Dining Room

Kyran smiled and waved at everyone that showed up, enjoying the life of the people around him. it was so different from back home! he quickly pushed those thoughts away, not wanting to think about it. he was happy here, life was better and his past was his past. Shiloh came in looking half drunk and bed rumpled, "morning." Shiloh was a bit out there, but Kyran liked him for it. he wasn't ashamed of who he was or what he wanted. though he wasn't sure about the sleeping around and partying parts, but Kyran wanted to be as free as Shiloh when he got older.

~Shima - Kitchen~

Shima was glad to hear there were cinnamon rolls, it was his favorite kind of breakfast food aside from Cocoa Puffs that is. Shima tiredly stood up and filled his plate with two big cinnamon rolls and a small bowl of the casserole, he was a growing young boy after all. He took his food to the table and sat down to eat, picking up one of the big rolls. Shima opened his mouth wide and was about to take a big bite when the pervert arrived with a loud voice. Shima jumped a little and dropped his roll onto the floor. "Shiloh you a**!! You made me drop my food!!" he yelled as he picked it up from the floor and threw it in the trash. It wasn't long before he heard the announcement for what dinner was going to be later that day. "But omlettes are for breakfast! Dinner should be something that isn't breakfast! Can't we have some kind of pasta or something?" he asked Tsuki rather tiredly.

~Saia - Living Room~

Saia finished his smoke before he walked back into the house with a heavy sigh. He wished he could afford to live on his own but that wasn't a possibility at this point in time. Saia felt his stomach growl and thought to go see what was cooking but then he saw damn near the whole house was awake. "Hm...too many people..." he grumbled, and whats more Shilo was home. The man seemed to flirt with everyone but sometimes when Shilo had been drinking, Saia was the target for a lot of groping for some unknown reason. Not wanting to deal with people just yet, but still not wanting to go to bed again, Saia laid down on the couch in the living room, at least he wouldn't be able to sleep with so little room.
