"It is a very nice place, scenery is very good." Lemona inclined his head in acknowledgement. "I would enjoy some ice cream, thank you." He said, adjusting the straps of the bag on his shoulder. The bag just held his ice skates and some other stuff for the rink.

"Well then, let's go." He smiled in response and started walking that way. It was a very short walk but there was a long line. "Well, I guess everyone decides to get ice cream. Why dont you tell me what you want and I'll get it for you whole you take a seat."

( I actually get to go to Paris in my senior year, can't wait for it!)

He Gasped."Oh my gosh, it's those Paris Catacombs, right? My friend was telling me about it the other day, I mean we were going to go there, but it was raining so it was closed off. There were these illegal entrances we could go through since the actual catacombs aren't exposed to the public. However, it was raining which means the tunnels were flooded." There was just something about visiting different countries and seeing all the culture that makes life so mesmerizing. There was a smile on his face as he talked with his palms out gesturing wildly.

Ryn returned the smile at the man as he talked. He loved seeing people so excited and passionate about things they did. It filled him with a sense of warmness— the same feeling he joined Muses for. When people spoke to him about music, they seemed so happy and joyous. It always made him feel so nice.
“Aw, that’s a shame. But the city must have been really pretty in the rain, huh?” he asked, cocking his head slightly. “And when were you there? I heard it’s extremely nice in the spring.”

_{(That’s awesome! You gotta go see Sacre Coeur, it’s so gorgeous. It’s an amazing work of architecture)}

"I went in the fall, so it was a wee bit cold, but it was still manageable. Although, we only stayed there for about 2 weeks before I went to Italy. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but there is nothing like being back home, you know?" He took a small sip from his water bottle before putting it down. Even though they had just met just moments ago, they had a lot in common and it had felt like they were good pals.
"My manager wants me to take a break for a little bit so they can find someone else to travel with me. Apparently, it's going to "boost" the viewers which I don't mind my content reaching a wider audience, but I'm just worried that sooner or later this is going to start feeling like an actual "job." I enjoy what I do, but I don't just want to do things just because my fans want me to." Damen gave a small chuckle. 'Though it would be fun to have someone to travel around with"

“Yeah, I get what you mean,” Ryn said with a light sigh. “Personally, traveling alone doesn’t seem so bad, but I haven’t done it much, so I can’t say. I just… I’m just a wanderlust kind of person. Opportunities? I’ll take them, no doubt about it.”
He paused for a brief moment, patting Mochi on the back. The dog was fast asleep at his feet, curled up on his shoe with one of the laces still in his mouth.
“I’d totally offer to travel with you, but—,” he let out a stiff laugh, “— there are probably a lot of complications with that. Especially considering my average salary.”
His voice held a joking tune, but even as he said the words, he meant them with truth. Any opportunity to see the world sat great in his mind.

After a bit Theo came to the front of the line. He asked the worker for the flavour Lemona asked for and a simple hazelnut flavour for himself. "So, why are you the only one here?" He asked, trying to make conversation with the worker while waiting.

Rain looked up. He wasn't sure what to say. "Well…I haven't got the time to hire someone else to help out. Im fine working alone tho. Just a little hard but I manage." He yawned. He looked at Thio and smiled. "What would you like?" He asked, looking at all the flavors.

Damon pondered for a moment. Ryn seemed to be a genuinely nice person and someone he would love to have on his adventures with him.
"Well you wouldn't have to pay for the flight or anything, our company takes care of everything. If you are worried about the money, the pay does vary per video depending on views. However, it usually pays up to $1000."

Ryn had to keep his jaw from dropping to the floor.
“Really?” he breathed. He was more taken aback by the fact that Damon would have him as a travel partner than the actual pay.
“I- I would love to, but my sister’s only 10 and needs someone here…,” he said quietly. He could talk to his parents… perhaps ask them to be her ride to school and whatnot. It was a big favor, but Reily was quite the independent one anyway. And if Mochi were here to help her…
“Sorry, I don’t know if I could leave her,” he said defeatedly. “Maybe if I had a long conversation with her about it we could figure something out, but I’m not sure. It also depends on how long I’d be gone at a time.”

"It's fine, it's completely understandable and you have a right to turn down the offer. Perhaps have her live with your parents or a relative. We would be gone for about a month at a time." He sat back in his seat, a bit sad about the possibility that his new friend might have to turn down his offer.
"Well, this is turning out to be quite the job interview." He replied, attempted to lighten the mood.

Ryn let out a laugh, although his smile was relatively melancholic.
“But don’t go finding a new buddy to soon,” he said, holding up a finger. “I might be able to arrange something. It’s never a definitive ‘no.’ Plus, I’ll have you to look after her while I’m gone, hmm?” With the last sentence, he looked down to Mochi, smiling.
Mochi blinked open his eyes, flicking them over to where Hachi was. He gave a small playful growl, that soon developed to a challenging yip. His tail wagged furiously, bumping against the table. Ryn reached down, patting his head, and giving a small cooing “shh, buddy.”

Rain looked up. He wasn't sure what to say. "Well…I haven't got the time to hire someone else to help out. Im fine working alone tho. Just a little hard but I manage." He yawned. He looked at Thio and smiled. "What would you like?" He asked, looking at all the flavors.

"You will collapse. I'll have a mint choc chip and a lemon ice." He responded, gesturing to the different flavours.

(Here’s my bio!)

Name: Eliza Jane Merlot
Nicknames: Ellie (if anyone other than her father calls her this, she gets really pissed off)
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Big bi baby, although she has a preference for females
Appearance: Eliza is about 5’4” and 119 pounds. She has a small, slender build. She has a chestnut colored skin tone, with neutral undertones. Eliza’s dark red hair is always tied up in a messy bun, but usually during the day it falls out, so sometimes she’ll just leave it down. When her hair’s down, its about shoulder length, with the ends being wavy. Her eyes, which are almost always narrowed with exhaustion, are dark red in color, with hints of orange.
Distinguishing features: She has two small, golden earrings.

Personality: Always exhausted and somewhat snappy, Eliza’s not the most charming person. She gets frustrated easily, and gives up just as easily if a task is too difficult. She avoids any confrontation if she can, but more often than not, her sharp tongue and short temper get her in trouble. Whenever someone asks about her family, she’ll either blow up at them or become very quiet. It’s difficult to get her to open up.
Habits: If she’s irritated, she’ll fidget with her earring.
Likes: Early mornings at the coffee shop, her father, cats and dogs, painting, ham and cheese sandwiches, sweets, 80s music and movies
Dislikes: All the work she has to do, small talk, loud people, people who don’t know when to shut their mouths, blistering heat, anything with more than 4 legs, any sort of doctor’s office
Allergies: She has a nut allergy.
Fears: Any sort of doctor’s office and anything with more than 4 legs
Illnesses: Depression and PTSD

Background:
TRIGGER WARNING- TALK OF SUICIDE

Eliza lived with her father and mother, and was an only child. At an early age, Eliza’s mother took her own life in front of Eliza, leaving Eliza and her father by themselves. Eliza’s father worked hard to give Eliza the best life. When Eliza moved out, she swore to her father that she would help pay off his debts and save up for retirement for him. At the moment, she’s taking online college courses to become a doctor. Though she has no interest in the medical field, she knows it pays well, and it will be enough to provide for her father.

Family: Her father, Benjamin Merlot
Flavour: Cherry
Birthday: September 21st
Pets: N/A
Job: She works at the bakery with Mint (forgot his name, sorry aaaaaa-)
