Living Up To Standards

ooc: should we continue to wait for vicous or keep going? We could always catch them up...but I'm just debating cause they haven't been on in a while and I don't want this to die XD

OOC: I'm fine with whatever you choose Movie

OoC: I really don't want this to die... But I'm afraid it might if we don't start soon.

Ooc: okay I guess we'll continue and fill'em in when they get back. =P

OOC:: Cool, cool =]

OoC: Awesome!

ooc: sorry, I was trying to decide what to do with my character...it's harder to post in first person than I thought! XD

bic:
So when you learn things you probably know you shouldn't, you don't know what to do with yourself, right? I mean, that's how I feel about it. Am I supposed to live up to something, or just live my life on knowing that? I didn't see the point in the guy telling me, and who he was for that matter. I have no idea who the guy was and what he wanted.
Now I'm sitting here alone, in a park, in America somewhere. So what? I ran away. All I could think of doing was running. My parents knew this whole time and didn't tell me! How could they? They just had to keep everything a secret and think that it was totally wrong for me to be myself. Well I think it's myself at least, I'm not sure. It's not like I could remember anything in my past life.
Well anywho, off of that mind track. I need to keep my mind on focus. That seems to be my problem lately, I can't stay on one topic for very long. It's like my mind is racing on its own without my control. Like the other day I was just thinking about maybe buying an apparentment with a bed in the floor, just so my bed could be in the floor! Wow I did it again, sorry, I really need to focus.
I think I'm going to a music store, maybe buy some music with the little money I have. I have a guitar with me, and some lyrics I wrote, but they've clearly already happened.

Well, here I am, standing on the soccer field, ball in front of me, nothing. All I can do is stare, stare at the empty expanse, silver goal posts, meshed metal backstop. This is my life, but I can't decide what to do with it. I'm so damn lost, I dunno what to do, who to talk to. My phone's been going off for the last couple hours, my parents, but honestly, screw 'em, they lied to me, kept all this shit, this really important shit from me. I can't forgive them, just like that ya know? Damn, I gotta get outta here, leave, I can't be here anymore.
Shit, I can't do this, who am I? I honestly don't know anymore. I mean, is my life really my life? Or am I just supposed to be the reincarnation, or whatever, of this guy, Michale whoever. It all seems such bull shit, I mean, no one told me how to deal with this, just like outta the blue, "Keefer, you're some famous dead soccer player, by the way, thought you should know, yada yada yada" I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do? Is it even legal for me to play pro? Jesus, now I think I'm going crazy, all I can do is stare at the stupid ball, stupid field, everything just seems so superficial, so lame.

OOC:: Yea, it's fairly hard to write in first person, interesting =]
I hope that's alright.

ooc: yah it was fine, but I did have to change the language a bit...I'm not sure if the words were okay for the forum (I'm not sure if it falls under PG13 or not =P)

OOC:: If you ask Icey, she doesn't mind provided it's used in context and people understand it's used in the character's sense.
She's actually a really good friend of mind, so I cleared it all with her.

ooc: oh lol, well rechanging it then XD

OOC:: No worries =]
I thought I'd let you know. Just as long as you only use the language in the character contexts. So only when 'in character' not at other players or anything.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, like it had been all friggin' day. I flipped it open and answered it. "Keller Olivia Cutting! Where are you?" It was my father's voice. Damn. I thought it had said Dani. Dani was my bestfriend. She and Mallory, my other friend, were probably freaking out, but there was no way I was going back. Oliver was still yellign at me to answer him. I was about to tell him off, demanding why he wouldn't tell me that I was some famous dancer. Instead, I just hung up. Dropped call. I sighed and continued walking. I was somewhere way pats town, it was past noon, and I had been walking since about eleven last night, just after my mom had confirmed what the guy dressed in all black had told me. I was angry, which was never a good thing, but instead of getting into more trouble, I had runaway. Stupid right? But you know, they won't find me. My mom's the only one that woudl actually come looking for me. Oliver would never get off his lazy ass. I sighed and picked up a rock, throwing it down the road. I was walking through the woods, hidden by trees. The scent of pines was invigorating. I'd always loved the outdoors.

OoC: Hello???

OOC:: Waiting for Movie to post =]

So now as I'm walking along on the way to a music store, some police man comes up. Not used to having them just show up where I'm from really.
Anyway, he begins asking me who I was and what I was doing. So I answered, "I'm Corey Emerson, and I'm on holiday." The policemen looked me over and nodded before walking away. It was so strange, what did he think I was doing? It's not like I'm not drugs or anything, I know I act like it sometimes, but it's not like some seveteen year old walking down the street would be doing much.
I guess I'll just shrug that one off.
I kept walking for what felt like hours, must've been. It was dark by the time I decided to see where I was. I ended up in front of some sort of run-down motel just outside of the city. I guess I could just stay here for a while. I just hope Euros are okay.
As I walk inside with my duffle bag and guitar, an old man is standing behind a counter. The place was dusty and pretty much empty. "One room please," I said as the man looked up from his paper. He responded, "It's a thirty dollar deposit, your full bill will be given once you leave." I nodded handing him over twenty-two Euros. It was a little over thirty dollars, but close enough. The man looked at me weirdly and I added, "It's Euros sir," and he shook his head taking them. He then told me, "I will go to a currency bank and make sure it is thirty dollars, but here's your key for the night kid.'
I smiled taking it and walking over to my room. It was room 207, and not a very nice one at that. Barely anyone must live here if he wanted to take my money that badly and not know how much it really was. I opened up the door seeing a bed, closet, and WC. It was good enough.
I guess now I only have another thirty Euros before I'm out of any cash. I'll need to find a job or something if I want to keep away from my good for nothing parents.

ooc: sorry for the slow typing guys lol, I'm watching a movie and keep forgetting that I'm also on the laptop XD

Dark out now, nothing to do, no where to stay, so I guess I'm camping out on the soccer field. Fan-flipping-tastic, now I have to find a place to stay, just in case some cop comes along or something. God, I can't believe this, I still can't believe this. To my right there's a large forest, to my left the bleachers, and directly in front of me, there's a road, the mall and what not on the other side. I guess it's the forest, I doubt I could sleep now anyway, I mean, how could anyone sleep in this situation? Grabbing my ball, I took off towards the forest, I didn't want to stick around here when it got to dark, who knew what kind of people hung out here at night? Joy, the forest, this was going to be a long, awful night, and with my luck, it would probably rain. My phone was going off again, checking the number, I saw it was my youngest sisters.
"Hello?" I couldn't ignore my baby sister, that was one thing I couldn't do.
"Keefer? Where are you? Mom and Dad are freaking out?" I heard noise in the back ground, probably mom or dad trying to grab the phone. I was ready though, the minute I heard my dad's voice, I snapped the phone shut,

ooc: haha is vamp gonna post now? XD

OOC: I hope so lol =]
I wonder if Vicious is ever going to come back ??

ooc: I don't know, they haven't been on in a long time though so I'm not sure =P

OOC: Yea I dunno.
To bad =[

I finally drew myself up from the place I had fallen. I had slipped, embarassingly, on a wet leaf and had landed right on my ass. I sighed and pushed hair form my face. The sun was looming, nearly hidden by trees, I took that as my warning. Get some place safe, was my warning. I looked around, groaning as my phone rang again. This time it was my mom, I still didn't answer, despite the knot that had twisted in my stomach. I decided I was nowhere near anyplace adjacent to a town, passing a sign a few miles back that read Fortsmith -- 50 miles. Well, damn, I remembered thinking. In my haste to leave, I should've thought about a car. I didn't have my own, but I easily could've taken my mom's without her noticing. I looked around again and shook my head. I leaned against a tree, yawning. I was stuck out, in the wild, with animals lurking, all night. I wasn't too worried about the animals. Just the bugs and spiders. I gave a almost teeth chattering shudder. I decided, no matter how exhausted I was, I needed to keep walking, so I surpressed my other shudders as nigth approached and kept my steady walk toward the atleast 47 mile away town.

Ooc: how do you guys want to draw them all together so we're not jut on our tangents the whole rp? I have a couple ideas maybe but they're pretty lame XD
