    hello fellow classmate of the class of 2010,

    you are cordially invited to our 10 year reunion! it only seems like yesterday that we were walking through the halls of mcqueen high and now we are on to much bigger and better things. time has flown by. why not catch up with some familiar faces and share what you have been up to?

    the festivities occur on june 20th, 2020 at 8pm. it will be held at the cedar brook inn, where the senior prom was held. tickets are $30 per person and this includes dinner and an open bar. please r.s.v.p. by may 15th. the inn is also offering discounted rates to alumni who are traveling from out of the area to return for the reunion.

    we hope to see you there!

    sincerely,

    --

    high school is a time that shapes you as a person. whether you wish to forget it or spent you best years there, it is an inescapable fact. for one reason or another, you decided to attend your 10 year high school reunion. it was fine enough, but something happened there. since that something happened, you've been repeating the day like you are in groundhog day. at first, it felt like a strange dream, but now it feels like a never ending nightmare. however, by now you are starting to realize that you are not the only one trapped on june 20th. do any of them have the answers? or will you be forced to live out a mediocre gathering of people you don't know anymore? either way, you have questions and are running out of patience to find the answers.

    each day begins the same. you wake up in the same place you did as the first time you lived out june 20th. i know what you may be thinking, but no, you cannot die. the second you take your last breath, you wake up again at the beginning of the day. the only people who remember the previous versions of the day are the ones trapped in the time loop. good deeds won't get you out of it, sorry groundhog day lied about that one. though you are still in the early days, just noticing that there are people who are also stuck like you are.

————

vices: Smoking (He got into it in college and never got out of hit. Every time he’s at a friends house he hits a blunt at least twice), Sleeping In (Though this isn’t a problem for events or meet ups it’s still a problem in general. He doesn’t wake up tending to be more of introvert when he’s alone or with strangers), Mood Swings (Sometimes when Kai is out of it and taking in some really weird or messed up information he tends to have sporadic mood swings often cycling through Anger, Saddness, Confusion and back to the original emotion he was in or he land another. It’s very random.)
virtues: Comedic ( If not in a mood swing of his Kai takes to trying to cheer people up with jokes and light comedy. Even if he’s not in a dire situation he still tends to make jokes a lot more so back in Highschool.), Protective (He is very protective of his family and friends.

history: Born in Japan raised in America. Kai is the first born of his parents Akeal and Hina. He is the only child born in Japan. That’s the reason he’s the only child in the family that can speak fluently in both Japanese and English (Modified He switched between a Jamaican accent and an America accent a lot) It was a relief to go to high school and make some friends. Or at least that’s what he thought he would be doing. He ended up being the outcast for no reason. He got pranked more by the cheerleaders than any group. They liked pretending to ask him out then not showing up. He was nice if you met him and weren’t immediately rude or mean. When he got out of highschool and moved in to college he changed. He became someone who could be more popular if they wanted. That one kid who had people whispering rumors to one another as he walked by good and bad. He was mysterious they would say. If they came up and talked to him he would talk back like a normal human being. Contrary to what happened in high school he had friends in college. His roomates were his friends. He’s still in touch with them and he thinks one even went to his high school. After graduating college and getting his masters degree under Mechanical Engineering. He got a job fixing cars for people of a higher class money wise. He earned enough money doing that to by an apartment. He’s saving up to by a house currently. He likes to travel a lot but never really moves. He always ends up coming back to his hometown. He decided to go to the Reunion because he wanted to see where his classmates were. Especially the cheerleaders In His class.

    Fallon Martinez

    Even if a snake is not venomous it should pretend to be poisonous

code: @s e v e n


basics
name: Fallon Martinez
nickname: Fal
age: 27
date of birth/zodiac: 10.18.1992
gender: Female
sexuality: Heterosexual
nationality: Portuguese
ethnicity: Caucasian

looks
height: 5'7"
hair: brown with lighter blonde streaks
eyes: blue/green
body type: tall & slim
distinguishing features: small gap between front two teeth
scars: none
body mods: few small tattoos along her arms

persona
vices: Anger, smoking & gambling. Growing up her anger has increased as well, she's not entirely to blame, a drunk father and drug addict mother contributed to this quite enough. She picked up smoking in her junior year of high school when she would meet her "bad boy" college boyfriend behind the bleachers for a quickie and a stogie. Gambling followed shortly after once she turned 18 and needed quick cash, her math skills got her good at counting cards and making a quick buck, a handy in the parking lot also didn't hurt.
virtues: loyal, honest, courageous. Loyalty, despite having a terrible upbringing was always a part of Fallon, just because people were not loyal to her, she made sure this was her way of life. She always has been an honest as well, although typically brutally honest, she always believed in telling it straight. Her life has made her courageous, she has learned to stand up for herself and her beliefs.
likes: She enjoys the little things, a smoke in the morning with her coffee and during any other time of the day. The sunshine, food, alcohol, the list goes on.
dislikes: Her biggest pet peeve are rude dishonest people
fears: She doesn't have many but spiders are definitely at the top of her list
habits/quirks: Smoking and alcohol have always been a habit of hers. She has a tendency to organize and reorganize when angered about something.

background
family: Her mother is a druggie and father is an alcoholic, otherwise she was an only child (luckily) and didn't have any other family around. No sweet grandmother to raise this one with warm chocolate chip cookies.
history: Fallon was a pretty good student back in high school, despite getting in with the wrong crowd and going home to a broken household she made sure to focus on school in order to get out of this town. Since graduating she graduated college summa cum laude drowning in student debt. She secured herself a small studio apartment in the heart of NYC and a comfortable job at a large tech company.
why did they come to the reunion?:I decided to drag myself out here out of plain curiosity, no other reason behind it. Maybe hearing an old crush was going to be here swayed me a bit as well.

TH1x.gif



ghostnectarine:
persona
vices.
- Impulsive | Wallace tends to do things recklessly. He firmly believes that life is short and people should take opportunities when they get them. Of course, he takes this a little too far; he leans fully into his curiosity and intrusive thoughts ("Oh, sick, I found this beer on the street, already open....I'm gonna drink it!") and usually will do anything so long as someone phrases it as a bet or a dare.
- Tendency to Run His Mouth | His brain-to-mouth filter is busted. He speaks his mind openly, asking intrusive questions and making comments that could come off the wrong way and end up as insulting, even if he says them without the intention of such. He's also the worst at keeping secrets, and is the king of gossip (completely on accident; it isn't malicious).
- A Little Full of Himself | If there's something that requires skill or grace or really any sort of talent, Wallace assumes that he will, in fact, be able to do it, despite most of the time not being able to. Things are likely to go wrong after he says "How hard can it be? I can do that!" and then tries. He overestimates his abilities with practically everything.
virtues.
- Cheerful| Wallace has an up-beat and optimistic attitude about most everything. It takes a lot to get him angry or annoyed, and he's the sort of person to view the glass as half full.
- A Jokester | Humor is important to him. He takes jokes, even ones about him, extremely well, and uses jokes to try and cheer people up. Maybe in another timeline, he would've been a killer comedian...
- Smart....When He Remembers to Be | Despite seeming like a bit of an absentminded ditz, Wallace is actually pretty smart. He has a plethora of 'fun facts' (usually about insects) he likes to insert into conversations and maintained good grades when in school. He actually recently finished getting a PhD in Entomology, which is something he doesn't usually share (even when prompted) unless mentioning that actually, if you were being technical, he's Dr. Müller.
neutral(ish).
- Forgetful | Wallace tends to forget things, meaning that most of the surfaces in his office are covered in sticky notes and his phone calendar is filled with different events, even ones that are mundane. He has on multiple occasions forgotten his own birthday until someone mentioned it.
- Tendency to Zone Out | If he's tired or something doesn't immediately concern him, he tends to stare off into space until someone kicks him under the table or something to get his attention.
- Gets Easily Attached | Wallace can and will get attached to ANYONE who gives him the time of day, especially if they talk to him positively for more than five seconds. It made the whole 'high school friends moving on to other things & people' thing a bit more difficult.

likes. Wallace likes a good number of things. Bees, for one, are a favorite; he also loves cats, photography, motorcycle rides, hiking, music (any sort; he's a man of variety!) and having a good cup of coffee outside on the porch (though, he doesn't have a porch seeing as he's in an apartment, but that's trivial)
dislikes. One pet peeve is people either insulting or incorrectly talking about the subject of his work, insects; he can understand fear, but purposely being cruel to them is where he draws the line. He also doesn't like bland foods, large birds, normal pencils (the writing texture is bad, mechanical all the way), disgustingly hot weather, being ignored/alone, and horses.
fears. Wallace is scared of heights (with the exception of rollercoasters, due to being buckled in) and absolutely despises Ferris Wheels because of it. Outside of physical stuff, he's scared about being completely forgotten about by people.
habits&quirks. He has a necklace with a pendant made of a rubber material that he often chews on when thinking (it was gotten in attempts to stop himself from absentmindedly putting the eraser at the end of pencils in his mouth), he bounces his knees when sitting, and he talks with his hands which has more than once ended in him accidentally hitting someone in the face.

background
family. Leon Müller (father), Bernadette Müller (mother), Addie Stilton (older sister, married), Ethel Müller (younger sister); he's on good terms with all of them, and video chats with them almost daily.
history. Wallace grew up in a middle-class family and lived a generally comfortable life. In high school, he participated in groups such as baseball, mathletes, debate club, and more, albeit not during the same year. He wasn't exactly popular, but he wasn't being actively bullied either, which was fine by him. He was comfortable have 3 friends, for the most part, and was happy keeping himself busy with whatever things he could volunteer or sign up for as well as with keeping up with his honor and AP classes. He ended up going to college for biology and taking as many credits as they would let him, ending with him graduating a year earlier than intended. Since he liked college so much, he ended up going back to school to get a PhD in Entomology, since that was what he was most interested in, and recently completed that program. Of course, he has a lot of debt now. Entomologists don't make a lot of money. He lives in a crappy apartment that constantly leaks and maybe has rats in the walls, but has a job lined up in research (and education since the research is through a college, but that's trivial, whatever), which in his opinion makes it all worth it.
why am i here. Damn, isn't that the question? He just had nothing better to do, really; he felt like going, so he did.

maryanne de la rosa.

basics.
nickname : mary.
age : 28.
date of birth : 06.09 | gemini.
gender : female.
sexuality : bisexual.
nationality : american.
ethnicity : filipino.
visage.
height : 4'11.
hair : dark brown | wavy | ends at midriff.
eyes : dark brown.
body type : athletic & curvy.
distinguishing features : beauty mark underneath lip.
scars : a large ugly scar on forearm.
body mods : tattoo of 6/9 on the side of her ring finger.
faceclaim : justine mae biticon.
persona.
- virtues :
passion
: a fierce spirit that is guided by her emotion and instinct, fueled by an inner system of persistent optimism, she allows her inner energy to spill out with every step as a result of her many years of experience as a professional dancer, inadvertently developing an inward and outward sense of love in herself and others while building a firm sense of confidence that allows her to easily make her way into a crowd-- if she wanted to. however, her deep passions that lay in her romanticized view of love make her yearn for a partner that can stay with her when many others before have had her disappointed.
dutifulness : being raised in a fairly strict and closely knit household resulted in mary maintaining a strict sense of responsibility out of a sense of constructed moral obligations that prioritize community over self. during times of necessity, she prioritizes those she is attached to and would choose to sacrifice herself if deemed necessary. she is considered the 'mom friend' of her co-workers. however, even with her confident presence, maryanne does not consider herself a leader with an awareness of her emotional volatility and is more than content with being a follower in a group-- but if she needs to get things done, she easily sets aside personal differences in order to get it done, and if she needs to take the reigns? so be it.
polite : mary retains a sense of respect and social etiquette that she derives from her upbringing, and does not allow her judgements of a person to compromise her behaviour towards them unless they have crossed a line, which includes threatening or dangerous behaviour.
fitness : movement is an art of expression for mary, and as a result she maintains a good physical condition that allows her to handle herself efficiently during moments of danger despite her shorter, unassuming stature. when she recognizes that her opponent(s) are above her level of strength, she can usually squirm herself out of it thanks to her shorter stature.
- vices :
envious
: her attachment and protective nature has lead her to be possessive over those she is attached to, and has a tendency to hold petty grudges over those who spend too much time with her current person of interest, though these instances can be brushed off when reassured. however, she is one that needs a somewhat consistent sense of reaffirmation, though she would not admit it. her envy can cause irrational behaviour if left unchecked.
judgemental : mary is quick to judge others based on appearance and behaviour, especially with first impressions, however she will not be open with such feelings and can make herself smile at someone she silently deems to be a person to avoid. she is susceptible to gossip about those around her.
impractical : her sense of duty and reliance on emotions dictating her actions has lead her to make short-sighted decisions in her past, especially in the matter of her devotion that often blinds her to understanding the true nature of the people around her that she has already formed an attachment to. impulsive behaviour may occur as a result of her tendency to have her emotions lead her to actions she may later regret, often forcing them out of memory instead of choosing to dwell. she is also not very good at technology, and her preferred method of texting is through facebook messenger, but she does prefer calls over text.
- likes : music. frogs. enthusiasm. yellow. romance. sun. sweets. skin. plants. exploration. fit clothing.
- dislikes : smokers. addicts. ugly rocks. haunted houses. rudeness. being tickled (she will forgive you). inconsideration. aggression.
- fears : abandonment. rejection. darkness.
- hobbies & quirks : dancing. boxing. track and field. sewing. making excessive gestures and onomatopoeia to describe certain words. blushes easily. slow-typer. lame sense of humour.
background.

family : born from a family of well established filipino americans who had more than enough money to support their three children after years of hard work and provided them comfortable upper middle class lives, with maryanne being the middle child of the bunch. her older sister was the one who had a firm focus and a natural knack for academics, which resulted in her pursuing a career in medicine; mary had an interest for dance around her teenage years, while the younger brother was the reserved and sensitive who gravitated towards theatre and arts. while their parents were supportive with their children and two of their children pursuing creative but risky career paths, they were strict disciplinarians and enforced the idea that success would come with devotion and practice. albeit with their stern attitude towards their careers of choice and academics, they were undoubtedly loving towards all their children and despite the inevitable hard days with them, mary knows nothing but love towards them and their siblings and contact each other frequently.
history : maryanne was a shy kid who kept to herself most of the time, but still managed to get some friends and generally blend in with the crowd, and this streak persisted until her adulthood when her passion for dance came to a forefront when she was recruited by a respectable agency and shaped her confidence and she was exposed to more people. when not doing a gig, she worked as a dance instructor. if not, a gym instructor. if not, she'd call up one of her friends and ask if she could get a job and has her fair share of experiences. life for her was relatively peaceful, however, at one point she had to protect her siblings from being mugged while camping with them during a road-trip, causing a scar on her arm. the event has made her more protective, and suspicious of those around her. a few unfaithful exes have also caused spiked her tendency to be more envious over romantic interests. as her parents are getting older, she has chosen to let them stay at her house and help take care of them whenever she can. her siblings come to visit sometimes.
why did they come to the reunion? : a sense of nostalgia, really. and the opportunity to see how much her old classmates have grown throughout the years, and maybe she can get lucky and find... the one? or maybe some dancing. that's fun too!

dutifulness : being raised in a fairly strict and closely knit household resulted in mary maintaining a strict sense of responsibility out of a sense of constructed moral obligations that prioritize community over self. during times of necessity, she prioritizes those she is attached to and would choose to sacrifice herself if deemed necessary. she is considered the 'mom friend' of her co-workers. however, even with her confident presence, maryanne does not consider herself a leader with an awareness of her emotional volatility and is more than content with being a follower in a group-- but if she needs to get things done, she easily sets aside personal differences in order to get it done, and if she needs to take the reigns? so be it.
polite : mary retains a sense of respect and social etiquette that she derives from her upbringing, and does not allow her judgements of a person to compromise her behaviour towards them unless they have crossed a line, which includes threatening or dangerous behaviour.
fitness : movement is an art of expression for mary, and as a result she maintains a good physical condition that allows her to handle herself efficiently during moments of danger despite her shorter, unassuming stature. when she recognizes that her opponent(s) are above her level of strength, she can usually squirm herself out of it thanks to her shorter stature.
- vices :
envious
: her attachment and protective nature has lead her to be possessive over those she is attached to, and has a tendency to hold petty grudges over those who spend too much time with her current person of interest, though these instances can be brushed off when reassured. however, she is one that needs a somewhat consistent sense of reaffirmation, though she would not admit it. her envy can cause irrational behaviour if left unchecked.
judgemental : mary is quick to judge others based on appearance and behaviour, especially with first impressions, however she will not be open with such feelings and can make herself smile at someone she silently deems to be a person to avoid. she is susceptible to gossip about those around her.
impractical : her sense of duty and reliance on emotions dictating her actions has lead her to make short-sighted decisions in her past, especially in the matter of her devotion that often blinds her to understanding the true nature of the people around her that she has already formed an attachment to. impulsive behaviour may occur as a result of her tendency to have her emotions lead her to actions she may later regret, often forcing them out of memory instead of choosing to dwell. she is also not very good at technology, and her preferred method of texting is through facebook messenger, but she does prefer calls over text.
- likes : music. frogs. enthusiasm. yellow. romance. sun. sweets. skin. plants. exploration. fit clothing.
- dislikes : smokers. addicts. ugly rocks. haunted houses. rudeness. being tickled (she will forgive you). inconsideration. aggression.
- fears : abandonment. rejection. darkness.
- hobbies & quirks : dancing. boxing. track and field. sewing. making excessive gestures and onomatopoeia to describe certain words. blushes easily. slow-typer. lame sense of humour.

background.
family
: born from a family of well established filipino americans who had more than enough money to support their three children after years of hard work and provided them comfortable upper middle class lives, with maryanne being the middle child of the bunch. her older sister was the one who had a firm focus and a natural knack for academics, which resulted in her pursuing a career in medicine; mary had an interest for dance around her teenage years, while the younger brother was the reserved and sensitive who gravitated towards theatre and arts. while their parents were supportive with their children and two of their children pursuing creative but risky career paths, they were strict disciplinarians and enforced the idea that success would come with devotion and practice. albeit with their stern attitude towards their careers of choice and academics, they were undoubtedly loving towards all their children and despite the inevitable hard days with them, mary knows nothing but love towards them and their siblings and contact each other frequently.
history : maryanne was a shy kid who kept to herself most of the time, but still managed to get some friends and generally blend in with the crowd, and this streak persisted until her adulthood when her passion for dance came to a forefront when she was recruited by a respectable agency and shaped her confidence and she was exposed to more people. when not doing a gig, she worked as a dance instructor. if not, a gym instructor. if not, she'd call up one of her friends and ask if she could get a job and has her fair share of experiences. life for her was relatively peaceful, however, at one point she had to protect her siblings from being mugged while camping with them during a road-trip, causing a scar on her arm. the event has made her more protective, and suspicious of those around her. a few unfaithful exes have also caused spiked her tendency to be more envious over romantic interests. as her parents are getting older, she has chosen to let them stay at her house and help take care of them whenever she can. her siblings come to visit sometimes.
why did they come to the reunion? : a sense of nostalgia, really. and the opportunity to see how much her old classmates have grown throughout the years, and maybe she can get lucky and find... the one? or maybe some dancing. that's fun too!
