((Yes, that'd be great))
((Yes, that'd be great))
(Ok, for some reason, it’s actually not letting me? I’ll keep trying to figure it out)
(I can make it if need be)
(Yeah, that would be wonderful, actually— thanks :D And we’re just pending on Ash’s approval)
(okay awesome!)
(Let's do it!)
(OKAY SORRY I was in classes all day. Let me post the starter :D)
Maybe it was the brightness, sun shining so effortlessly through his open window, that woke Rocky up. Or maybe it was the warm summer breeze, causing his blinds to tap so lightly on the glass. And maybe it was his alarm, cooing so softly beneath his bed— because he had dropped his phone the night prior.
Or, perhaps it was the absolutely blaring horn, emanating from an old junker RV parked so haphazardly in his driveway.
Regardless, Rocky was up within a few seconds, heart racing as he realized he was late. He had never been so happy as to remember to pack the night before, picking up his phone with maximum effort before yanking his suitcase from beside his door. It was an extremely quick goodbye to his parents as he stumbled out his front door.
“Stop, stop, guys!” he called, laughing with his free hand over his ear. “I’m up!”
He was still in pajamas, but that was pretty much the equivalent of black sweats and a striped band shirt, from some 80’s rock festival. And, despite his groggy voice, he wore such a genuine smile on his face as he looked up to the RV, shading his eyes.
“I’m so sorry, my alarm was so quiet, I didn’t hear it,” he promised, shielding his eyes from the early morning sun.
(it’s up to you guys who was honking the horn and who is already in the RV, etc)
"Are you really up, though?" Teigi leaned out of the RV's window, grinning. "You're still in pajamas! But alas, so am I, so who am I to talk?" Sure enough, the young man was still wearing pale green sweats and an old t-shirt he'd won in a writing competition, and although he was wearing sneakers, the laces were still untied.
Ren, who was perched on Teigi's shoulder, mewed at Rocky as he leaned farther out, eventually jumping off of Teigi's shoulder, landing on Rocky's head.
"Ren, how could you?" Teigi had an over-the-top, orchestrated look of shock on his face. "I thought you loved me, Ren! But here you are, choosing Rocky's head over the comfort of my shoulder." He shook his head, sighing before grinning again. "So anyway, hurry up!"
(alright, I was under the impression that Calanthe was next in line to reply, but I can switch the writing order around if we want?)
(Ah, sorry about that! Would it help if I deleted mine and put it back in later?)
(that’s alright! and, unless anyone else has a problem with it, you could probably leave it up)
Joshua groaned, pulling Teigi off of him, "Dude, let the poor guy be." He mumbled still half asleep himself. He was currently seated in the driver's seat of the RV, scrolling through his phone looking for some decent tourist attractions throughout their path, while also trying to figure out a sleeping and driving arrangement. "Okay, I know I said I would drive for this trip, but I'm not driving this thing for a whole week, and if I am, I'm claiming the big bed and that's final." He said crossing his arms.
(And it's fine)
(wait I don't think we should have an order because we're all gonna forget it)
Evan who had brought his pet cat Mozzart along, was the only one used to waking up early. Evan had met Teigi at the same writing competition, and so he wore the same shirt and a pair of comfy blue jeans with some sneakers. "Guys guys quiet down. C'mon now we're gonna get noise complaints. Let's just get a move on. I'm ready for good tunes and a lake to swim by, yeah?" He smiled as his cat sat in his lap, nuzzling up against him,adoring all the attention he was getting.
(Just some dudes and their cats)
(low key already ship Evan with two but I don't wanna start a romance. If anyone would like to do a romance rp or anything with me tho lemme know. Also yes. Lotsa good fur babies)
(Just some dudes and their cats)
(Lol, that reminds me, Josh brought his bird Moose, so let's hope that he and Mozart get along)
(lol all the animals I love them— and romance/shipping is totally good by me, so don’t worry. I just didn’t know if it would be a main plot? But it’s okay, it’s welcome here ig. Also no writing order is alright, but let’s keep the rule of two responses at least)
Milo groaned as he sat in his seat rubbing his eyes. Getting three hours of sleep before the road trip was not the greatest idea in the world; especially when someone's been honking the horn for the last three or so minutes. His heart was racing from the shot of energy that made him go into a fight or flight response. To be honest, he could have gotten up and honked the horn to the tune of Jingle Bells or something else. "Come on, just fucking get your seatbelt on so we can beat eight am traffic please!", he whimpered.
“Alright, alright,” Rocky replied, trying to fix his hair from the tousle Ren had given him. He handed the cat carefully back through the passenger side window after greeting it profusely, crawling into the back of the RV soon after.
“Again, so sorry I’m late. I was up all night packing some things. But— good news, I found some card games and some other stuff to keep us busy while we’re on the road.”
He took an open seat, sighing as he rubbed his eyes. “We ready to go? Where’s our first destination, Josh? And… can I have the aux cord?”
"Driver picks the tunes c'mon you know the rules around here dude. You want your jams playing you gotta take the wheel. Or be shot gun and argue with him." Of course now Mozzart wanted his hellos,so the cat leapt from lap to lap,purring and receiving scritches. "I brought my nintendo switch and 3 extra controllers so we don't have to live like grandpa's and play some videogames, or watch YouTube." He shrugged, watching his cat go around.
"I'll drive," Teigi suggested, letting Ren jump into his arms, and down to the floor. "I actually got some sleep," he added, nudging Milo and chuckling. "Can't have our driver falling asleep on the road, now, can we?" Ren purred, seemingly in agreement, as he jumped onto the back of Milo's seat, pawing at his head. "Ren says you should get some sleep. And Ren's word is law."
"It's fine." Joshua said with a shrug, motioning for Rocky to come to sit down on one of the chairs, "Teigi I can do it for now if that's okay. I have a few ideas we could go to for now that are in state?" He said standing up as Moose flew off of his shoulder and mover to Mozzart.
