With her arms overflowing with cleaning supplies — bottles of cleaning fluid, a broom, a vacuum, and a dusting cloth all caught in her petite arms — it was no wonder that something would fall. Her mind was caught up with her past, ghosts that lurked in the corners of her mind stealing her attention, when she tripped. The toe of her shoe caught in the cord of the vacuum held in her arms, the black cord dragging along the ground as if to mimic some biblical snake, and she tumbled forward. “Dammit,” she spat out, already sure she had collected new bruises along with a pair of scraped knees. Gently pushing herself up, she surveyed the damage. The supplies were a mess, strewn across the lobby’s tiled floors, wreaking havoc in what was meant to be an elegant atmosphere. “I’m sorry,” she quickly apologized to no one in particular, just a habit she couldn’t quite break. “Sorry,” she repeated, reaching down to begin lifting the supplies once more.

elijah’s foot had barely reached the hallway when the a rush of cleaning supplies and loud noises filled the corridor. the young teacher had been so startled by the turn of events that he, much like the cleaning women in front of him, threw the papers and coffee in his hands onto the floor. “ —oh my goodness.” he exclaimed, rushing to pick up her things along with his own. “i am so sorry, i am really bad with surprises.  —i mean not that you dropping things was intended to be a surprise for me, it just sort of startled me a little... is all.” in the midst of all his embarrassment, elijah had yet to realize that his coffee had spilled onto his clothes and to his skin. “ah, ah-ha-ha.. and there’s the coffee. um, well, wow your guys’ coffee is really hot. um, here’s your supplies..” elijah rambled handing the small girl her broom, cleaning fluid, and cloth all while he held his own papers limp from coffee stains. “this is.. really embarrassing. i think the day is going to be an inside day so i think i am just going to go back in my room..”

“I KNOW RIGHT? i mean i know the jack ‘o’ lantern cookies are a little basic for a baking competition but they are adorable. the baker shouldn’t be penalized for making a classic treat.”

HELLO IT IS I, GABBY ( AKA TRASH ) I AM 17 & FROM THE CST.  i am super stoked to start rping with all of you. also please excuse my lateness, last night was AWFUL and i couldn’t get on to make elijah’s account. if you want to plot hmu, i am always up to plot / chat. anyways, now onto elijah.

eli was adopted when he was a baby & while most people would be upset about not knowing his biological parents he really isn’t.  his parents were super young & could not care for a child, which he completely understands.  he has never met his biological parents & does not intend to ever meet them.

basically eli has always been that person who is happy and cheerful all the time. he really tries to put his best foot forward in every situation. he doesn’t really hate ( just a strong dislike ). growing up he was very quirky ( he is still  quirky tbh ) he wore a lot of bright colors and loud patterns. while most people were very anti individuality where eli was from his adopted family embraced his individuality & loved him even more for it. this led to him getting picked on a lot by his peers but he never really noticed. 

when he moved from northern FL to GA to go to school he was really excited because school meant new thINGS LIKE FRIENDS & ACTIVITIES but what no one expected when eli went away to school is that he would find a girlfriend. 

everyone was shocked he could get a girl bc he was kind of funky. this girl seemed WAY TOO GOOD for eli. but they dated for awhile & they even got an apartment together after they graduated from school. eli thought she was the one; so, one day when she had to stay home sick from work elijah thought nothing more would cheer her up then an unexpected proposal... except YIKES she wasn’t sick & she was actually cheating on him with a co-worker... that was awkward. so elijah packed up his bags and moved into amethyst 

ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE he is an elementary school teacher & absolutely LOVES kids. he used to teach fourth grade, but since he had to relocate he is now teaching kindergarten at a public school a little ways down from the hotel. didn’t really plan living in a hotel full time but as of right now he can’t afford anything else so :// here he is 

 ALRIGHT SO THIS IS ELI, I HOPE YOU LIKE MY CUTE LIL MUFFIN
