-- lost in this world

[emma scott]

My Name is Melinda...
and I have a character creation problem.

	ADÈLE BOUCHARD. sixteen family owns well known winery and essentially the small town of Beaune, France loves to have fun makes friends and annoyances easily tends to speak first and may think about what she said afterward. if you get upset and if she remembers thinks throwing glitter on trashy girls is fun LOVES cupcakes
ETHAN RICHARDSON. nineteen going on eighty has a heart defect that will eventually kill him - not that he'll tell you about it does not believe in love. well, he does, but he thinks love will kill you and good luck getting him to change his mind always wears a small platinum locket and carries a silver flask with him tends to know more about his friends than they know about him cynical
	AINSLEY HARRIS. twenty-one has been attending the academy since she was a freshman in high school but her family is back in America in love with Darren Michaels but conflicted about the status of their relationship was in a highly abusive relationship for two years and still carries the scars from it with her her family fell apart with the death of her mother and Ainsley partially blames herself because of the close resemblance she has to her mother she is slowly attempting to rebuild her life
NOAH DAVIS. seventeen canadian (his father is actually the ambassador in Paris) big kid at heart loves harmless pranks always has his red backpack with him dresses in bright colours incredibly smart plays the violin and the accordion a dork and proud of it
	LIAM COLE. seventeen track and swimming star introverted and introspective believes he's already had his one great love and she died quiet keeps to himself hails from Vancouver
EMMA SCOTT. eighteen pageant princess hails from Tennessee (yes, accent is included) after being molested at the hands of her step- father she tends to be quite promiscuous with the boys she dates has never been "in love" or a serious relationship spent half of her life in foster care and is quite jaded can be very charming but is guarded at the same time and refuses to talk about life prior to St. Michel
	KAELYNN HAWTHORNE. sixteen raised in Kampala, Uganda where her parents are missionaries was sent to France after she was nearly abducted and murdered by Ugandan rebels hates the fact that she is in France disgruntled sarcastic can be quite confrontational but it's more humourous than viscous - there is more bark than bite homesick

[gemma castelle]

bahahaha. -allinagroup-: welcome melinda. we accept you.


ok let's see:

1. emma: ioonnooo. a grade apart? gemma would be vair vair nice to her and of course love her accent. buuut we need a history for themm i shink for them to be friends si?

2. adele: gemma would love her. she would see her as the girl she would want to be if she had to be someone else. adele can get her to have fun because they're only a year apart you knowww? but ups to youuu

3. ethan: is two years older soooo ionno? she has an older brother but he's like 20-21 and so yah. but if you want something I KNOW i can think of SOMETHING. they're opposite but a like in some ways.

4. ainsley is the same age as her brother, but there is still an age gap sooooo once again, if you would likee we can think of something and use their brother yahhh?

5. noah baha i have the cutest mental picture. I think they would get along weeeelll. they both have political families, whether they would know of each other is a different storyy buuut they're the same age and what not. gemma would consider him a rival as well because he's smart.

6. liam is interesttingggg. if he kept to himself, i think gemma would want to inquire about himm and ask questions. but they're somewhat a lot alike, but he's a bit more.... sad i suppose? but yes. she would completely admire him from a far and be wondering about him. it's always the quiet ones that get her mind going. so yes. if he would like her, they could possibly have a unique friendyshippp.

7 kaelynn is love. gemma would adore her completely and she would totally love to spend time with her. she would find her funny and gemma loves to be entertained. i love her playby btwwww.


and exhalee.... that is all -curtsy-

MELINDA!!! Why, yes, I am spamming your plot thread. It's quite fun. Besides, I need someplace to organise the jumble of characters I have thrown at you (and to throw others at you).

Adèle
-Friends Enemies SOMETHING with Luc. Okay... I actually have no word to describe their relationship. Antagonistic? Her being her goofy self and him being his irritable self, forming into something very... interesting and amusing for us? I don't know. It's late. This has all been covered.
-Neil would find her entertaining but would guard Peyton carefully, at least initially. Otherwise, I don't know.
-Alexia. There is an age difference, but they might be friends? Or at least get along, I think. Alexia would enjoy how fun she is and possibly take her on random adventures if she felt like going.

Ethan
-Alexia? She's the only one I can really see interacting with him. (Unless you want to throw Eva in there, but I think he might kill her. Who knows, maybe he would want to kill Alexia too.) I don't think she would be too crazy around him... might try to make him smile once in a while. If she ever learned of his heart condition (which I have no idea how it would happen, ever.... but just, if it did) she would certainly be able to empathise.

I don't know. I fail currently.

Ainsley
Ummmm... well, you're always welcome to my characters. So, if you think of anything, let me know. =)

Noah
-Friends with Juli. He mystifies her in every way possible and, while he tries to teach her how to have fun, she's busy analysing his every motive, sure that he will turn his back at any moment. Aaaaand she feels strangely safe with him, which will likely lead to some form of opening up at some point. Sound about right?
-Roommates with Luc, who will humour him (or try) but also try to teach him a bit of responsibility here and there. Overall, get along... but he'll probably drive Luc crazy half of the time, especially since Lucas is a complete stick in the mud.
-Friends with Eva? Yes? Please? (I'm quelling her demand that I add a very whiny, elongated please in all caps next.) I think they would get along well and she would learn many pranking techniques from the master, if he would be willing to teach them to her.

Liam
-He and Juli must stay FAR away from one another. Though, after their last encounter, she would probably avoid him like the plague out of shame.
-He and Eva might be fun? Or not. You tell me.

Emma
-Brynn would adore her, if given the chance. Especially if he accidentally stumbled upon her playing piano... Except, he might drive her crazy with encouraging her to share that. If it ever happened.
-Whoever else. I'll steal plots with her however I can. xD

Kaelynn
Awwww... Aidan is no longer here to antagonise her. I don't really have a suitable replacement for that, but, as always, you are welcome to my others.

This probably was no help at all. I ought not to do these things so early in the morning hours.

[caden baynham]

I've come to the conclusion that it's entirely necessary for me to post this here. You know, so we have the map of plotting in more place than one, in case we get lost and need to find our way back! Living in a closet has made me smart, I hope you can tell. ANYWAY, as you know, I only have Caden. (And it makes him feel oh-so-loved that I say "only".) And as you know, we've already worked this out. Sort of. How about a summary? I LOVE summaries. (And pie.)

ADÈLE can expect a rather grumpy, dismissive Caden, since he feels that she talks way too much, is horribly lively, and thinks he might be a terrorist - the latter he doesn't entirely mind, because he's entertaining the mild hope that it might scare her off. For the sake of my amusement, I hope it doesn't. =P

ETHAN is invited to cynical discussions about life and love - or the lack of both, you never know - in the park, on garden chairs. Their friendship is bright, their friendship is shiny, their friendship brings joy to the world - or maybe not, but Caden says "Who cares?" and carries on with his negative opinions about young love. So much win.

AINSLEY gets a flower. From me.

NOAH looks so darn cute in that picture, I want to snuggle him. Might he be interested in playing a harmless prank or two on Caden? He could use some cheering up, you know. Not that this would work, but I refer to my amusement, and hope you understand. Caden requests that he doesn't play any pranks on him, as this might force him to move, or to give a damn, and really, he's not sure if he wants to make the effort. I say we make him make the effort, Melinda. He has it coming!

LIAM gets a cupcake. From me.

EMMA, poor girl, Caden considers her borderline interesting, which I don't know if is a good thing or a bad thing, but like her, he would sleep with her if the opportunity came along. (Have you noticed how romantic and mushy they are? I'm in tears, here!) Outside of that, since she's borderline interesting and all (God forbid he should call someone actually interesting), he'd be inclined to comment. Has she won many favours with that face? The world runs on appearance and money, after all; is she lucky enough to have both? I can imagine him saying all the wrong things to her!

KAELYNN is also borderline interesting to Caden, and her disgruntled, sarcastic, confrontational ways are traits to be respected, according to him! Of course, he's not saying that to her, but he might make any number of sassy comments, and might - WAIT FOR IT - give a damn. Again, I don't know if this is a good thing: It just makes him more liable to be offensive, really.

You may now pretend that all of this is COMPLETELY new to you! And I'll assault you later for discussion purposes!

gemma .,

I may be dense (a total possibility) but I'm a little lost as to who Eleanor is in your initial description because then all your plotting refers to Gemma. Is it the same person or am I missing something? That being said, here's what I think will and won't work with Gemma and my rather extensive crew.

EMMA definitely gets along better with guys than girls because she thinks she knows what they want. So for that reason I can't really see her seeking Gemma out and the grade difference will just isolate hem more. I can't really think of much between the two of them to be honest but if you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them.

ADÈLE & NOAH get along with pretty much everyone so I can't see any problems there. They like to have fun and consider anyone they meet a friend. I think it would be fun if Noah and Gemma knew each other through functions - he could be the guy she never really understood or something. He likes to keep his intelligence on the quiet. He's that kid who gets really high marks without ever looking like he works for them.

LIAM doesn't do well with questions. Gemma can ask but don't expect a lot in return. He won't open up and likely focus his attention on something else. If she peppered him with questions he'd make it a point to avoid her in the future.

I'm not sure how KAELYNN feels about entertaining someone. That's never her intention. But whenever she feels awkward I have fun so I'm all for it.

luc .,

ADÈLE would like to know why he's such a grump. It was lip gloss not cyanide and to loosen up. She'll even kiss him again! Well. maybe, but he'll have to be a little more romantic than a darkened closet. She offers to bring the wine!

NOAH thinks he purple backpack is awesome. As are sweets and Luc needs more sweets because he frowns too much.

brynn .,

I LOVE the idea of him discovering her hidden musical talent, especially because she doesn't really want anyone to know about it but just can't give it up entirely. She would be simultaneously angry with herself and intrigued that he thinks she's good.

alexia .,

She and ETHAN can be sardonic together, no? Or he can be bitter and she can look at him and wonder what is wrong him. Either works.

neil .,

ADÈLE will think his daughter is the cutest thing ever and likely pay more attention to her than Neil. She wants him to know that whenever he needs a babysitter she will be more than happy to help out - free of charge!

I can envision something between him and EMMA, especially after she sees how protective he is over his daughter. I can seriously see that picking at the walls she's built around herself and then, who knows.

eva .,

NOAH supports this friendship.

We shall talk more on AIM. -hugs-

caden .,

ADÈLE would like to point out that being a terrorist makes him mysterious. And being mysterious is sexy. They'll be besties by noon! I feel bad for Caden...

ETHAN accepts his invitation and brings an extra flask of something to drink during such conversations.

NOAH is always up for a prank. Sitting next to Caden on a mimed lawn chair while in the park? Hellz yes!

With EMMA I can see them having this dysfunctional relationship - not that any of my relationships between characters is particularly functional. I can see banter back and forth until he crosses the line with a comment and that escalating to an argument (or her becoming really silent) and then ending in sex. SO romantic. I'm jealous of the romance. I think she'll hate herself for keeping him around but not want to lose him at the same time. I mean -snicker- he's such a catch.

KAELYNN uber mature bantering? Yes, please! It will entertain me.

We shall also have to talk on AIM.

[eva garnet]

This is spam, meant to declare that Eva wants to hug Noah. She also insists that Mentos and Diet Coke explosions WILL HAPPEN. As well as many other exciting things... including a cello/violin duet, whether he likes it or not. And... yeah. That's all.

[noah davis]

He still supports this friendship and threatens her with the accordion.
