A Midnight Gaze [Open to all :] ]

[Alexander Van'Dan]

A gust of wind rustled across the ground of the park at night. A lone shadow stood beneath a tree, looking out into the distance. Alexander's eyes were fixated on a light coming from that distance. It was a light filled with ecstasy. It was a bight purple, maybe even lavender. He heard the noises arising from the place as well. One of the children of the town were obviously having a party. He began to feel lost in a world of thoughts and felt as though he would pass out. It wasn't very safe for him to do so, for there wasn't a soul in sight, that he could see.

He sat down on top of a protruding trunk near the tree. He noticed intricate little marks through the tree and began to count the rings below his bottom. The tree seemed to have been about 170 years old before its life was taken. The gust flipped his hair to the top of his head. He took a mirror out of his pocket and fixed it. Even if it was night time, he couldn't stand to have things out of place.

Just as his eyes began to close a thick goo fell from the tree above and right onto his shirt. He was about to be bothered with it but a chirping bird began to make itself audible and the noise calmed him down. He simply took off the shirt and tossed it to the side and layed down beneath the tree looking at the stars.

[Rylee Nikolas Jarveson]

Ear buds blocked out the night sound as Rylee was dancing up a storm. Whatever was playing right now didn't matter, what mattered was the dance. Why was he out? Well very simply Rylee was insomniatic. He didn't sleep much and was able to get used to that, as well as the taste of coffee, strong black coffee. A small camera hung loose around his neck. He kept it with him everywhere, as well as a jade egg on a string. In fact, there were a good 5 or 6 necklaces around him. One with a jade egg, another with rose quartz, yet another was deep amber. One necklace had seven various rings on it, another had an agate stone fused with onyx, finally a small pearl of black sapphires.

Each one had a meaning of which he more than happily would explain. A loose fitting hoodie was draped around his shoulders with a blue shirt underneath and skinny jeans as well as some new looking tennis shoes. The ear buds were blasting as he was jumping through the air spinning and kicking rocking out to what seemed like nothing. Wind somewhat whipped his hair around pulling him in different directions until his foot hit something that felt like a leg.

In mid spin Rylee tripped. "Woah!" He said trying to turn as if not to do a faceplant. It helped a tad as he landed on his side. "Owww..." He said quietly just laying there, his ear buds haven fell out and stone were laying on the ground near his face still attached to the strings around his neck. So much for the black sapphire that was supposed to protect him. Rylee realized that he had tripped over someone, he sprung up. "Ah! I'm so sorry sorry sorry sorry!" He said a bit quickly as he looked at the shirtless male. A bit strange seeing as it was freezing outside.

["DRAYTON" Travers]

He watched them from his perch, finding this rather interesting to him. "Two more gays, huh?" he asked himself, leaning back against the tree trunk. Drayton wondered briefly what had chased him up here, ruining yet another pair of threadbare jeans. Was it before or after the dogs? He looked again as the shirtless guy; wondering if he'd ever been with a chick. Drayton smiled, fixing his pink shirt with a spare hand while grabbing the branch above him.

"Think. Gay." He snickered, willing himself to have some fun with them. It wasn't that Drayton liked to hurt people, but, he was bored from sitting in that tree and a bored Drayton was never good. Not mentioning the late hour at which he was disturbed. He swung out, using momentum to land a bit farther from the tree. Now, the failure happened right as he was about to jump. With a rather loud crack, the tree branch broke from underneath him, spilling him onto the ground.

Drayton groaned, rolling onto his back to look at the men. "That could have gone so much better....."

[Alexander Van'Dan]

Alexander looked around at the night sky and picked out familiar constellations. His fingers traced Andromeda as he recalled the story of the great lady herself. He found it interesting that he was such a nerd that a Greek myth would come to his mind while he was laying shirtless on the ground. His nipples were starting to protrude a bit due to the cold weather.

His crimson coated necklace was flipped over his face as the wind blew faster and faster. He liked the feeling of the breeze rustling across his bare chest. It was at the exact moment his eyes closed that another body went trampling downwards over him. He started to get very agitated until he realized that the boy had not done it on purpose. Usually people would do things just to annoy him. He smiled at the boy with his eyes before speaking, "It's okay, I am sure you didn't mean to."

Alexander took great notice to the stone that were handing from a necklace the boy was wearing. He noticed the onyx right away because of a study he'd done in Egypt on the stone. It was fascinating what people would do for those things in foreign countries.

It was at that present time another boy came tumbling out of a tree. He could not help but to burst out laughing when he saw the look in the boy's eyes. He offered his hand to pull the boy to a sitting position at least. "Are you okay?"

["DRAYTON" Travers]

Drayton shook his head, laughing lightly. "Let's party!" he grinned, jumping up of his own accord. With a smirk he started dancing by himself, turning it into a Micheal Jackson pose with a wink. Then he sighed, plopping down beside them. "Every things closed, and you guys seem boring." he stated the obvious, not caring who heard.

With yet another crack a cooler of beers fell from the tree, landing at Drayton's feet. "I found them!!! Anyone drink?" he rummaged through, throwing beers at all of them. Not that he'd been expecting people, but he figured if the gods gave them beer then there must be a reason. Good gods, though, since they gifted the gays with beer.
