Jade stepped out on the curb after handing the cabbie a crumpled twenty dollar bill. She threw her rundown duffel-bag over her shoulder and looked up the street at the rather impressive house in front of her. It resembled houses from the Victorian era, was two stories high and should by all standards go for quite a lot more money per month then what the landlord was asking. The jaded part of herself had instantly asked what the catch was, because no one was so charitable as to rent a damn mansion out for nickles and dimes.

It turned out that the old lady who'd lived there earlier had passed away and for some reason, fortunately for Jade, the family wanted nothing to do with the property. Even more fortuitous was the fact that the campus was a mere five minutes away. Less fortuitous, or so the young woman thought at the time, was that someone else was already parked on the street in front of the property, waiting by their car, and Jade Parr doubted that the young brunette standing patiently by the car was the landlord.

She let out a sigh and put her cerulean dyed hair in a ponytail to keep the breeze from messing it up. Strange, Jade thought to herself as she walked toward the other girl, the weather had been mild just a minute or two ago and now the wind was starting to get to peak annoyance level.

The landlord hadn't said anything about showing the property to someone else at the same time, or at all and frankly, she'd hoped no one would have been quick enough to pick up on the listing yet, given that it hadn't even been on the site for an hour. I need this, she thought solemnly. Her back was still sore from couch surfing, and the rest of her soul couldn't take another night at the cheap, pay by the hour motel she'd resorted to 'living' at. The walls were thin, the neighbors loud, the receptionist a creep and she was pretty sure someone had been murdered in her room at some, if not several, points in time.

Jade pulled her jacket on tighter and flashed the other potential renter a smile as she came up toward the towering house.
"Hey" she said "I'm Jade and I'm guessing you're not the shady landlord who rents this place out dirt-cheap and fail to mention the multiple people tour?"

@lilykin: Oh, we're both newbies then :) Any tips?

@totalanimefan: Yay! You've got good taste then haha. Yeah I prefer unsweetened too, on both of them, but with a few drops of milk in my tea (for the texture). Aw, sorry to hear that. But at least you've got tea and chai :)

@cheshirecat: True. Yeah definitely a lot of fault with both groups. I'm just slightly partial to mages because even though I can't agree with their actions (especially Orsino, that whole thing made me both sad and angry at the same time) I can see WHY the mages turn to demons. They live under this constant fear to be struck down, especially in Kirkwall, where there are so many templars which are soo soo bad, and the knight commander knows it and not only doesn't stop it, but almost encourages it.

@lilykin: Thank you! Been a member here long?

@totalanimefan: Chai latte, almost any tea (except camomile) and dark roasted coffee. Medium roast is doable but dark roast is the bomb
What about you? Hot or cold?

@crystalkitsune85: Great, I'll ping you when I've posted, might be 2-3 hrs though since I'm also at work :)

@totalanimefan: Will definitely do :)

@cheshirecat: Yeah I agree. I can't make myself feel for the templars at all, maybe individually but as a whole, nope. They made Meredith a great antagonist though, she was....

@crystalkitsune85: Thank you! Will post my girlie as soon as I've found a ref I like, can't wait!

@totalanimefan: Ah, got it! Sounds fun :) Will be interesting to see what the next theme will be for DI and orbs.

@cheshirecat: aaaah Bull <3 I love him but he's just below Cullen on the ladder. Love the new lore too and love Dorian in general. That baby <3 I hate the part with him and that chantry lady (can't remember her name atm).

@cheshirecat: In the first game it's Alistair and Morrigan. In the second it's Varric and Fenris. DAI, Varric and Dorian with Cullen trying to steal a spot on the ladder. Yours?

@crystalkitsune85: Sounds great :vivihappy:

@crystalkitsune85: You can do it if you want :)

@cheshirecat: When your love shines through subconsciously :3 Me too! Trying to finish DAI atm, when I'm not working.

@totalanimefan: Ok, I might get it now. So the orbs are changing on the 25th of this month (and will be out for 3 months) and the crates are released monthly on the 1st, and you'll get to choose on of 2 sets, with the chance of a rare set?

@totalanimefan: So soo nice of you! <3 How does that work, is it like DIs which you spend irl money for or can you buy them with volts too?

@crystalkitsune85: Nah, I think we got the skeleton of it pretty good, can always discuss more in OOC if we'd think of something? I'd love to do a picture of our characters, just need to find a good ref :)

@crystalkitsune85: That would work too ^^ Can always add npc romantic interest/s later if nothing else?
