Is this set in UK or US?

And I gtg for half an hour or so, my brother needs picking up from his club thing and apparently I can't be trusted in the house by myself since the pancake incident *shudder*

by Bubblebeam Tue Oct 05, 2010 4:51 pm

Uh, pancak... incident? Dare I ask?

Just keep it to the US Smile

by **OpenTheDoor** Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:04 pm

Okie dokes Smile

Pancake, me and eldest brother pancakes, mum blamed me. Basically, real life I almost peed my pants and shat in them as my mum found out.

Evan regretted being here. Falling asleep at a meeting was not a good thing. Evan cursed his jetlag as he fell asleep. He much rather be playing soccer, or doing something else but be here. He did not need to be here, nothing was wrong with him.

OpenTheDoor, care to post?

by **OpenTheDoor** Wed Oct 06, 2010 1:53 pm

I did, Tori was addressing your charrie/Chubster...

PS. Love Charlie the Unicorn!

by Bubblebeam Wed Oct 06, 2010 2:59 pm

OH

I didn't read that. ¦P

Levi: The girl next to her muttered a and brief apology before looking down at herself, completely still. Don't think I didn't notice that.
"Why don't you start, Tori? Tell us what makes you feel good about yourself, and hopefully we can apply that knowledge to make other people feel good." I raised a knowing eyebrow to her, making her aware of the underlying meaning in that, as everyone else just shuffled to faced her, breath held.
I'm telling you this, this place needs improving. The atmosphere, the facilities, the attitudes... They treat it as though they don't want to be here, though, I know, half of them don't...

"Well," Tori folded her legs under herself, "First of all my favourite bands releasing a new album!" she clapped her hands happily.
She knew that Levi was probably performing a mental facepalm due to her sudden preppiness but to be honest he should have been happy of it; no more Chubster snapping.
"Also, just music in general, y'know like playing the guitar, singing, orcarina..."
As she said that half of the people tittered at the sound of the whole fact that she knew how to play something like that, well screw them!
"But to be honest I don't really care what people think, you just have to go wth the flow or you'll top youself."
Shrugging, some of the others sniggered as others just remained quiet; the depressed little emos, awww.

by Bubblebeam Wed Oct 06, 2010 4:39 pm

Levi: I pretended to have not heard the first hour of her talking, and instead, perked up on her last sentance. "Why don't we all learn from what our wonderful friend Tori had to say?" I looked from person to person, left to right, beaming as I stood up, the chair scraping against the floor. I walked over to the whiteboard, which was more like a grey, and looked quite sorry for itself in the empty room. I spoke aloud as I pronounced each word clearly, writing them in bold grey, rather squeaky, letters.
"Be... Your...Self."
So maybe it wasn't exactly what she said, but isn't that what this group was about? You've got to make people feel good about themselves, adapt something to become their brilliant idea.
"Now, who can tell me a little about yourself, and being yourself?"

Lacey: I fidgeted nervously, not able to hold still as I had promised. I pushed my legs together, and put my arms on my lap, trying to take up as little space as possible, but the fact was, I could still feel the person on my left and right against me.

"Being yourself is just what you gotta do; followin' a crowd ain't gonna do anyone any good," she shrugged and decided that she needed to turn herself upside down.
Twisting, she sighed as her head looked around to the rest of the room, everyone upside down. A couple of the guys made a comment on her trying to be a slut or something though she ignored it; herself just trying to get comfty.
"Also you might wanna put some Mr Muscle on that..." her finger pointed loosely to the board, her eyes closing as her phone blasted the sound of Simple Plan, "Excuse me."
Flicking her phone open, she sighed after hearing the sound of Graham's voice; her non-caring father.
"Yeah... No... FGI... No...Bye," she took the phone off of her ear before screaming, "Go f*ck yourself..."
With a frustrated sigh, she bit her lip and looked around, the rest of the people continuing to stare. Fun.
"Y'know, this place could be fun; you need to make things more bright, bigger and bolder. Also you could make this less of a 'Hello, my name is Becky, I am a smoker...' kinda meeting. Whoever made this place must be a sandwich short of a picnic..."

by **Gifty** Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:16 pm

SApphire: I slipped in through the door. " Sorry I'm late.." I said sitting in an open seat. I held back a smile as I fingered the pack of candy in my pocket, the store owner didn't even notice.

by **Charlie** Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:59 pm

Evan was his himself this place was trying to change him. He attempted oh so hard to not fall asleep, but he did.

"Anyway, being individual is imporant to express how you are, not to follow crowds, set your own trends even if you're not model-skinny or have perfect hair, it's all about who you are on the inside..."
Tori walked up and snatched the board pen out of Levi's hand.
"But you're skinny!" one of the chubbier girls called out.
Turning on her heels she sighed, starting to fiddle with her fringe as she underlined her point a few times.
"Yes, I know, it's a curse to be this damn skinny! You guys don't have to buy little kids clothes!" hissing, some of the kids laughed.
Most have said that she'd have been a good person to have as a teacher or working with kids with that way about her. The only problem was that her mood could flip in a second then a little kid would be flying out of the window.
"Tori!" a slender woman whom we knew as Sally, one of the workers at Feel Good Inc., nodded at me, "I'm pretty sure that's Levi's job?"
With a sigh and a raised brow, the girl shrugged, "I'm just getting them warmed up because at the ,moment he was doing rather crap."
Half skipping, she picked up another three colours of pen before drawing something on the board, something that she had learnt years ago.

by **Charlie** Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:34 pm

Evan slumped deeper into his chair, the cowboy hat he was wearing fell a little onto his face. He woke up and saw stuff written on the board. He yawned this place was not going to help him.

"Glad your awake." the person next to him laughed, only to receive a glare back from the man from Manchester England.

by **Gifty** Thu Oct 07, 2010 8:57 pm

Sapphire: I pretended to listen to the lecture but I was looking at the wall distracted as always. I started to fiddle with my fingers and tap my foot.

"I suppose you can have a go at leading, then." I gave her a small smile, taking her seat and leaning back. "See, this is how we should all act. Take our lives into our own hands, take charge. Help others, and your own problems help themselves." I nodded curtly to to Tori. "Sorry, I'll shut up now." I gave a little laugh, watching intently, taking mental notes of what she says, how she says it, how she answers questions, her methods, and just about everything else. I could use this information to either help her with her own problems, or, if she was particularly good, she could even help me in the other areas I travel to in the country.

It was nice to see someone so animated for once.

"Oh, only if I get paid," she stopped, two half-drawn men on the board.
Shaking her head, she continued, letting her art skills cover the surface. She wasn't that bad but she wasn't a Picasso for sure.
"Right...being yourself, being yourself..." she muttered to herself, raking her brain as she pulled out an idea, "Okay! Right!"
She walked out into the middle of the room, her sleeves now rolled up showing various lines of scars way up her wrists. She didn't care for showing them off, it was just something that she did in a crappy mood.
"So, being yourself is a self-explainer and so a no-brainer," she started, using a little thing that she was told when she was young, "It's just showing the inner you, what you wanna be, who you wanna be. Now, nowadays there's a lot of talk of these different fashions and trends; things that people have to set themselves up to be 'cool', but what those that actually mean?"
A few mutters arose from the room but no hands, not even a crude shout-out... This was going to be a tough task, she saw why that dude person who she didn't know that name of still was completely annoyed with it all.
"Okay, we'll try a different tack! Who here buys magazines?" she took a seat at the front, sitting on it back-to-front to gain some attention.
A few hands rose, a few Goth guys, all the anorexics and the nerds; a start. Taking the lid off the pen using her mouth, she looked at the group.
"What kind of mags do you buy?" she looked to one of the girls as she froze slightly like a dear in the headlights.
"Look..." she murmured, "All those fashion one-"
"Fashion ones! Lovely!" she stood and flipped the board over, scribbling it down in her neat scrawl.
"Nuts!" one of the toughies shouted, his little followers laughing; at least she was living them up a tad.
"Okay..." she rolled her eyes before crossing her arms, "Seriously? I don't think this place would let you, unless, of course, you stole it off of our tutor person here," she smiled at him whilst the group laughed.
Slyly, she sent a little wink over before more hands rose, shouting out things like 'Xbox' and 'Kerrang!'. She had the group cracked.
