location: one of the gyms Leah gives classes at -- one is in Southwark, one is in Battersea and one is in Shoreditch. time: Friday evening.

It had been about eight months since Sasha had moved from the states to London to start a new life, new name and everything  -- not that it had been by choice; witness protection had made it necessary. The truth was, she was still struggling with it, the loneliness getting to her more often than not. Having left her dream career behind, she had ended up pursuing her past passion for martial arts and fitness, now working as a gym instructor and personal trainer full-time. While it kept her sane and afloat, it certainly wasn't what she had wanted to do with her life. But, truly, she couldn't change it anymore at this point. It was Friday evening, her martial arts based group exercise class had just ended and she made her way over to the studio door, her red hair pulled back into a now rather messy ponytail. "Well done, team, give yourself a big round of applause! My name is Leah, I'll be at the door for questions and feedback, but mostly for high fives -- you know, if you’re interested in a sweaty one,” she grinned. “I hope you all have a lovely weekend if I don't see you for my Sunday class." And with that, she opened the door and waited for people to pass her, holding out her hand for high fives and giving each one of her participants a radiant smile.

The workday, no matter how short it was today seemed to be dragging on at a snail’s pace. She had no one to teach as it as a paperwork day, the few students she saw on a weekly basis was off doing their own thing. Natasha had sent the last per my last email with a final eye roll before pushing her desk chair back and closing the computer. Quickly packing up her items, she was throwing in the towel if only to save her own sanity. The paperwork was tiresome, the same four fill in the blank short answer boxes and it was driving her quiet mad. By the time she hit the door, the blonde gave the light switch a flip and headed down the hallway and out the building. A sense of relief washed over her as her feet hit the sidewalk and light breeze brushed against her cheeks.

Haley had one of two options. Either sit at home alone on her birthday and mope with a bottle of wine by herself or throw a party. It isn’t every day that your girl turns the big three-three, is it?

The brunette had been feeling particularly lonely after her roommate had moved out and was starting to consider adopting a cat to fill the emptiness, but tonight was going to be far from lonely. She had moved the furniture to the side of the room, laid out snacks on the table and had copious drinks chilling in the fridge as she waited for guests to arrive. She was just doing the finishing touches on her makeup when she heard a knock at the door. With music already playing, she practically skipped over to the door to answer it.

London City Roleplay is now introducing tasks! These will be weekly and there will be a different task or theme every week!

We know that the dash has been a little slow and we wanted to do something to get your muse going. This week’s task is simple and comes in two parts: 

We would like everyone to post one open starter, if you have multiple characters you only need to do one (doing one for all characters is allowed, of course) 

Then we’d like you to reply to the starter of a character that you’ve never written with or haven’t for a while. Of course you are more than welcome to reply to multiple starters, but make sure that one of them is someone new.

This is by no means mandatory, but highly encouraged.

Please tag all starters with londoncitytask1 and londoncitystarter.

Happy writing!
