Samantha Starr / Mickey / M: Open. Exhausted. That's all she felt when she woke up,her whole body aching.Staying up so late to think hadnt worked so well,although it hadnt at all been intentional.At least her dreams had given her a break from the man incessantly playing on her mind,apparently on repeat even now Sam realised with a groan. The Strawberry-blonde took her time to get ready,her mind and body just seeming to be in a standstill the whole time.As she left the door of her dorm,Sam made herself a mental promise that the whole notion would stop here and now.She would forget about it and return to normal.Laurence didnt seem to find it that hard. A mere hour later,a pair of bewildered stable hands made their way into the barns to find Mickey tacked up in a half decent manner and his rider up upon his back already working him in the arena.She had been incredibly focused on loosening the gelding's strides,trying to improve his leg yields with extra gusto.Her frustration was only heightening the determination rushing through her veins,This being one of the only situations she found her stubbornness to be a blessing. "How does he look?" Sam asked with a gentle tone and genuine concern,for the first time ever consulting her slave-like minions - having no choice as her new trainer had just happened to rather irritably fall on death's doorstep.It took a few seconds for them to remember how to speak,before she began to listen to their input.Really listening,and adjusting her riding style to their words.The grooms had been tentative a first,anxious at the feeling it was a trick that would hastily lead to their firing.Within the next half an hour the three had all relaxed into an informal coaching session,Sam incredibly shocked at the pairs knowledge of eventing etiquette.It was a new enough experience to completely take her mind off things,although the feeling of dismay was still waiting to ambush her when it stopped.Sam knew that it would have to be faced up to at some point - When exactly she wasnt sure. |

Aodhan | Dajana, Marley, Sam . Aodhan gave her a boyish grin, slinging the bay's halter over his shoulder. "Bold choice, I like it." He quickly followed suit, leading Adonis down the long aisle way in the morning light. He had to admit this barn was one of the most gorgeous places he'd had the pleasure of riding. . "Ya good there, Sheila?" He peeked at Marley and Pantops over Adonis' back, his coat seeming to glow with a certain sheen. "Like, I know you can handle it, just making sure you still want to be..." ... The three riders were mounted and walking towards the big cross country field when they saw Sam in the indoor with several grooms, but no trainer. Dajana waved brightly. "Hi Sam! Do you want to hack with us?" |

Samantha Starr / Mickey / M: Dajana, Marley, Aodhan. Her concentrated gaze shifted toward the door opening,lifting an eyebrow as they fell on a trio.What was it with the people in this place?She recognised one of the horses immediately as the stallion Laurence had been riding the first time they met,so a little curiousity had taken over. "Sure." She thanked her grooms with a glance,before guiding Mickey toward the door.The moment the chestnut was in touching distance he had eagerly outstretched his neck to each stallion,excitedly huffing with excitement and nibbling at their reins happily.Sam furrowed her eyebrows slightly,turning him away and readjusting her stirrups.As she messed around with them,sure to avoid eye contact and trying to appear as casual as possible,Sam asked, "Laurence still not in good shape?" Typical,After I spent so long lugging him along to those damn medics. |

Heather Proudstorm | 20 | Eventing | Espresso Silhouette "Mystery" and Titanium "Storm" | School Horse: WO Descendants Of Khan "Khan" | M: Open -Heather would be at another equestrian center but it was a breeding barn at the very least, she had already taken Khan out for a quick hack before coming here. She finds a handsome young dark bay Hanoverian stallion that was completely for sale- "I know that my little sister will absolutely love you." -she softly said as the dark bay stud gently nudges her hand as she gently pets him a bit then starts leading him back to her jeep to get the stud loaded up into the two horse trailer but the stallion suddenly halted as he turned his head with his ears perked forward, hearing another horse which caused the brunette to look back over towards the barn- -The young woman muttered some swear words under her breath, knowing that she's gonna hate herself for this as she loads the dark bay stud into the trailer first before closing the trailer gate behind him once she took the halter off that she had gotten with him. She leaves the trailer to head back inside the barn, once she took a step inside, she noticed a stud lashing out at a fearful stablehand that was leading another horse which caused her to raise an eyebrow then she went to go find the woman that owns the place- -After what felt like more than a minute, Heather leads the Orlov Trotter stud towards the trailer, taking note that he started to prance a bit when he spotted the dark bay but she quickly corrected him a bit as the stud finally calmed back down a bit before loading him up into the trailer as well, taking his halter off before exiting the trailer and closing it up, pulling the two latches down to keep the trailer door closed & tightly secured- -she heads over to her jeep before getting into the driver side, closing the car door then buckling herself up, readjusting her review mirrors while little Toby would be fast asleep in his dog bed that was perfectly secure with him buckled up at the very least. A smile gently tugged at her lips before turning the key to start the engine, putting the jeep into drive as she starts heading back to White Oak- |

Sandra Proudstorm | 18 | Show Jumping | Moonstone River "Silver" and The Great Rebellion "Shade" | School Horse: WO Legends Rise "Legend" | M: Open -Sandra would be in the indoor arena, riding Legend around as they went over some jumps while both Silver and Mystery were out in the pasture together. The ebony woman would be thinking, wondering where her older sister had ran off to so early in the morning but she soon shrugged it off like it was nothing as she soon regained her focus back on her school horse, softly praising the gelding for his slow improvement as she gently patted the horse's neck- (Sorry for the awkwardly short post) |

Timothy / M: Katrina,Emily. He had remained silent,trying to make sense of the situation from the miniscule snippets of information he was getting.Restraining order? "Lordy this takes me back a few years..Don't you think it's a little late you know. - You guys may not sleep,but others of us do." Tim wasnt all that tired,but the notion that the game would quickly delve into personal experiences and feelings was totally off putting.He knew from his late teens how these tended to turn out,And That was not what he had signed up for when replying to Emily's shout for help. |

Emily | Katrina, Rhynn, Tim . Emily looked at him with an incredulous grin. "Buzzkill. You're such an old man." . Katrina gave a small smile. "Games are juvenile anyway." . "They're fun," Emily shot back, arms crossed. She waved out the window and caught a wave back from a heavy-set woman with wild brown hair. The woman gave a really wide grin, opening the door with a sudden gusto. . "Emily! I've missed you!" . The blonde got up, wrapping the woman in a tight hug. "Rhynn! It's been so long." . Rhynn looked at Katrina, who was rapidly wiping tears away in an attempt to not be seen in her emotional state. "Did he hurt you? I'll beat his ass, I don't know how but it'll happen." . Katrina shook her head, a humored glint in her eye. "No, not yet..." . Rhynn then cast her glance over to the blond on the couch, offering a casual wave. Her Irish accent was strong, and more unified than Noah's, who sounded half Americanized and half Australian. He'd had a much different childhood than his sister. . "I'm Rhynn, you are?" |

Marley - Roze | Nirvana | M: Dajana, Aodhan, Sam Marlz kept the horse steady under her. Pantop seemed to no longer enjoy the womans company and was fussing. She tightened her legs around his body and nudged him forwards. The grey seemingly got over himself as they continued on. Marley looked from person to person, the other two women fascinating her. `` How are we all?`` Marley asked them all, her accent coming through only slightly more than usual. |

Timothy Blue / M: Kat + Em. Tim offered Emily a 'Told you so grin' as Katrina humourously agreed with his reluctance,his gaze as always soft in her direction.That didnt change as someone swept into the room,the character loud and proud it seemed.Self-entitled came to mind.. "Timothy - Just a Collegue." His general demenor wasnt unwelcoming,just fatigued and a tad grumpy.In fact he almost liked her character,but catching him off guard in such a confusing few moments ,to which he still had no information or clue on what had happened ,kept his guard up.Rhynn had a confrontational feel too,almost like a mothering instinct - Which made him subconciously anxious with being so close to both her 'daughters'. |

Sam / Mickey / M: Sandra,Marley,Dajana,Aodhan. Having played around with her stirrups for a few moments whilst waiting for an answer,Sam readjusted her seat before tapping Mickey's sides into a walk.The strawberry-Blonde offered a slight shrug to Marley's question,the action suddenly making her feel undignified.Well Adding to the massing feeling. "Tired." She had answered simply,casting an eye toward the indoor arena to the sound of footfall.Or more accurately hoofbeats.Before Sam even knew what she was doing she had called out to the rider and horse working away,figuring it wouldnt hurt this odd clan to get any bigger, "Hey - You..We're off on a hack.Wanna Come?" Without a moment's guilt for not knowing Sandra's name,Sam kept looking ahead as if she didnt really care for an answer.And well,In truth she didnt.The sooner they got going,the sooner they got back after all.. |
