"Whatever doesn't make me stronger kills me But it's gonna be a long year Till the hospital can find hope in me Tell me I survive..."

Name: Alexander "Xander" Moore Age: 36 Bio: Ever since he was a kid, Xander wanted to be a rockstar, he learned how to play the guitar at a very young age and pretty much never stoped. Despite dedicating himself to it, Xander never got the fame he wanted to, he wrote songs, got a band together, but somehow it just never worked. However Xander's family had friends in hight places, and whatever he wanted, he got it, there was this powerful man, he suplied Xander with the ilusion of the rockstar life and much more... he'd say Xander was like a son to him, find him parties, events to play at, drugs, alcohol, whatever him and the rest of his band wanted, and for a while, despite not being a sucessful as he wanted, he was still happy, he shared his music, maybe not with too many people but still. And then it all come crashing down... the man Xander tought of as a friend was in fact, using him, giving him all those thing because he knew eventually he was gonna need something in return... and if Xander didn't return the favor things were gonna get messy....painful, for him. "You see, there's this girl," that's how it started and now here he was... in a strange place, not knowing anyone, or how was he gonna do the task he was set off to do.

[xanderxmoorex]

This whole wedding thing was putting Xander in a mood, to be honest, coming here, having to chase after Lilith, the whole issue with his ex, was putting him a a modd. "Fucking hell," he mumbles to himself, his head was spinning, not from the booze, but from the whole... messy situation he got himself into. As he's walking around just trying to find the girl, he notices the other guy, he seems upset, Xander takes notice, "And I thought I was in a pissy mood..."

"Hey, dude, you alright?" Xander asks as he approches the other.

"Nah..yeah I get that." Wyatt nodded his head taking another hit from his blunt. "Life good or bad?" He asked curiously. "My life is pretty sweet. I mean I have my bad days but--" Shrugging his shoulders, "I don't know...I didn't mean to intrude...whatever's going on in that head of yours."

[xanderxmoorex]

Xander takes a few seconds as he thinks about the question, well, if he was gonna be honest, they'd be here all night, his story was along one, it wasn't like he didn't like to talk, but somethings he just could share, "Good or bad..." Xander reapeats the question taking a hit from his blunt as well, "Good question," the man chuckles, but there's no humor behind it, "It's... pretty shit," he confesses, "come here to start over but--there's nothing to fucking start, it's just---messed up," he pauses, hoping he was not sharing too much, again, a big talker, that was one his traits, "Just a fucking mess," Xander sighs," glad you're doing good, though," he pats the other on the leg, and he's being honest, just because he's in the funk, doesn't mean everyone else has to. "That's alright, don't worry, man," he shakes his head, "You don't wanna get in here, man," he taps his forhead, "all kinds of fucked up."

[angstfactory]

"Do you speak English?" Lilith stood there, genuinely confused for a second, as the man seemed just as confused about what she said. Like she might as well have spoken gobbledygook or something. But then he spoke more than just a weird grunt, and she relaxed. Though what he commented on was no less weird. The dancing couples were cute? Ew. "I guess if you're into that kind of thing?" Which she wasn't.

The joke did cause her lips to purse, like she didn't want to smile. It had been a little funny, she wasn't expecting that. "Funny," Lilith put out, shaking her head, and doing her best to stay annoyed. "And don't call me 'baby', my husband will eat you alive." She suddenly held up her hand and wiggled her fingers, where she wore her wedding ring still, as if to cut off any attempts for the other man to try anything funny. Poor guy was just standing there, now he was being accosted like he wanted to hit on her. "It's Lilith, or Lily, if you have to know," her eyes rolled, like he had dragged an introduction out of her, too. "Why are you watching the dancing couples from way over here?" Her eyes narrowed. "There's tables that are closer." Staring at him as she was, Lilith got that deja vu sense once more, which caused her to ask suddenly, "Do I know you?"

[xanderxmoorex]

"Yeah, like to think I have a very good vocabulary too, but that's just me," he muses, Xander knew this was probably not the best time to act like a smartass, but...well he just had it in him and sometimes it was hard to push it down. "Well, just so you know, I am not."

Noticing how she seemed to be trying not to smile made Xander ease up a little, he was getting there, he hope, and...well, he tried to ignore that voice inside that asked what then? he'd gain her trust, but what if he liked her? what if she actually ended up thinking of him as a friend? how was he gonna "sell her out" like that? "Thank you, just another one of my many qualities," he says in a joking way as he gives her a smile. "Oh," to be honest, the surprise on his face seeing the ring wasn't fake, Xander assumed she got away to be free, perhaps that free didn't mean getting with anyone else. "I'm sorry," he nods, "The last thing I want is to cause you or me any trouble," fuck this was gonna be hard for sure, but he was doing his best to keep his...poker face on, "Didn't mean anything by it, it's just a think I do," he shrugs, as she tell him her name he does his best to seem like this is all new to him, "Nice to meet you, Lily, I'm Alexander, but I perfer Xander," he reaches out his hand for her to shake.

To her question, Xander does his best to continue smiling, "Well 'cause it felt kinda weird to just sit there and watch, made me feel like a creep," he tells her, he was already feeling like a creep, ever since this whole...following her started but, that was something he could not share, "Oh, I--" well fuck!, "No, I don't think so, I'm new here, but I do work a the Tremble night club, maybe you've seen me there?"

[leonidxs]

Leo didn't smoke, not really, or at least that's why he said. But sometimes he really just needed a cigarette. Yeah, he knew he should quit, and even when people lectured him about it (which wasn't often but did happen occasionally), he didn't even disagree with them. It was a bad habit. But Leo always told himself he wasn't a smoker, he was just a guy who smoked sometimes. This was one of those times. This wedding - and his proximity to a certain ex - was fucking with his head, and Leo needed a break. Walking outside with the beer he was nursing, Leo saw that he wasn't the only one there. For a moment, he listened to the guy's diatribe, smirking, and then Leo said, "You don't mince words, do you?" It wasn't a criticism though - Leo appreciated the candor.

Leaning against the wall, Leo put his cigarette between his lips and patted his pockets for his lighter, forgetting where it was. He found it and quickly lit his cigarette, taking that first puff and sighing, eyes closed. Yeah, he wasn't a smoker, but sometimes it was just what he needed. As the calm washed over him, Leo opened his eyes and looked at the stranger, saying, "So I take it you're not a fan of weddings."

[xanderxmoorex]

Xander smirks to the other's words, if there was one thing he was proud of, that would be calling it like it is, at least in his mind, anyway, of course that had landed him in hot water before, but still, at least he was honest? "Eh," he chuckled a bit, "I'm a think it, say it kinda guy, why keep it to yourself, you only live once, yeah?" he says taking a drag of his cigarette. "Not a fan of weddings, not a fan of love in general, does that makes me sound like an ass?" he chuckles a little, "Been in love once in my whole life and it was fucking hell. Kinda do not wanna go there again," That was another story, perhaps thinking about it right now was not a good idea, he already had too many worries in his mind to go back, to the not-so-long-ago past where he ended up with a broken heart,"How about you? want the whole, forever /fairy tale, and all that shit?"

@xanderxmoorex

The night got infinitely less interesting once Grady had to ditch off with his brother, before they got to even do anything interesting, and yet, Lilith stayed. There was still Eric, who she knew would eventually find her, because he always did. Once he was finished trying again with Autumn, anyway. After they had a chance to chat, she'd call it a night and go home.

"Seriously?" Something wet caused her to look down, to notice she was standing in a puddle of liquid. Someone's spilled drink? Lilith danced out of it, shaking off her heels, and wound up bumping into some scraggly-haired looking guy that, weirdly, gave her a feeling of deja vu. "Why are you even standing this close? Like, can I breathe or what?" Instead of telling him sorry, she bitched that he caused her to bump him. Hormones. "How long have you been standing there?" Pointing at the ground where the puddle was, she demanded, "Did you do this?"

[xanderxmoorex]

He didn't know how the heck he was gonna do this, why the man thought he was the righ guy for the job was beyong Xander, but now here he was, trying his best. Just...watching her, he had to do it, he knew next time he failed it wasn't just his studio, his guiars that were going to get it, next time would be broken bones, his broken bones. As she moved closer, Xander stood there, almost like frozen in place, it was like seeing a famous preson or some shit, he knew so much about this girl, she had no idea who he was.

"Huh?" was the first thing he was able to say, doing his best to recover fast, Xander shook his head, putting a smile on his face, a mask, fuck, he hated this, "Oh, sorry, I was just--huh, watching the couples dance, cute huh?" he gestures with his head to a few people dancing. "Dang, those are a lot of questions," he chuckles, "No, you see, I tend to like drinks less...steped on," he jokes, "You alright, baby?"

[wyatt-wh]

Open starter 0/4 ?

He exhaled, smoke drifting up and disappearing into the dark, his head tipping back as he watched it fade. Letting the weed intake his system. A lazy smirk on his mouth. Wyatt nudged their foot. “Don’t tell me I lost you already?” He joked.

[xanderxmoorex]

"Lost me? when have you ever...found me?" Xander half jokes and he looks over at the other, "nah, man, takes a bit to...lose me," he looks down for abit before focusing back on he other, "I was just thinkin' about life and shit--you know how it goes."

[xanderxmoorex]

@touchofmxgic Irvin Xander was tired of this crap, why the heck was he even here? oh yeah, he was a damn idiot, who did nothing but screw up his whole life... "Lilith!" Xander munbles to himself as he feels he saw a glimpse of the girl from across the room, he rushes over to her, kinda unsure what he's gonna do, but so foused on her, he tottally forgot what's around him, "Hey!" he potested as he slams right into someone, "Fuck! it's like you're made of bricks," he says looking over at the other and rubbing his own arm, "What? you also in a hurry to get some lovely single to dance with?" Xander teased, "Or are you're just as tired of this bullshit as I am?"

[xanderxmoorex]

Open 0/5 Trying to find a little bit of peace in the middle of the happy, loud, wedding going crowd, was not easy, if it wasn't sure this stupid job he had to do, Xander wound't even be here, "Band fucking sucks too," he munbles to himself, leaning against the outside wall as he lights up a cigarret, "Is it me or weddings are nothing but a bunch of people pretending to be happy for some random couple that so happen to look at each and say, Hey you're good enough , lets get married" he says looking at the person who had just arrieved.

"Booze makes me a bitter fuck. Sorry."

[rey-townsend]

Oh, he was such a wolf-- hardheaded and thickheaded. He thought he could handle it even though they had several instances from him so far that proved otherwise. "No," she shook her head firmly, "you don't know what you're doing because if you did, we wouldn't be talking now, would we?" A hand came to settle on her hip, a stance the female often adopted when she was getting into her no-nonsense phase. Ney didn't care if this upset Avery to the point he hated her or couldn't stand to be around her-- that was fine, it might very well happen but that was fine, this was important. She wasn't going to go easy on him just because he was going stir crazy in a few weeks. That was nothing! He was going to have a very difficult time of things if he thought a couple of weeks were driving him mad. "I'm not going to drop this," she told him, "because it's not something you can just push aside and deal with later on whenever you feel like it, I'm sorry." Well, she wasn't exactly sorry, because she knew she was right and one of these days Avery would know she was.

"As long as you know your word is as good as you make it to be," Ney advised. She just wanted him to know that she could only trust as much as he allowed her to, and if he kept up with this attitude that he could totally take a day off without being babysat, it wasn't going to last very long at all. "You?" Her brows furrowed, unsure what he meant by that. "What about you?" Ney couldn't imagine how this wasn't about his wolf in some way but, it wasn't like she knew everything. "Oh," the woman looked surprised as he brought her own situation up, though waved it off dismissively, "I meant that I've got a whole town here to worry about, that's all. I would appreciate if you didn't add to the problems. Nothing I'm not used to handling."

[xanderxmoorex]

"Yeah, but… I got it cover, I think…" He raised an eyebrow, he wasn't sure about it anymore at this point, to be honest, She was making him start doubting everything. "I'm not saying to drop it for the next week of for the next month, i know these things are important, I just meant for the night, because I hear you, okay? You're right, I know you are, but I just had enough, okay? Just for now , can we not talk about Wolf stuff?" It was important and he knew it, it was also taking over his life and he'd very much life and he just felt he neeed a little break.

"It is, this was just--a desperate mesure, I guess? But I made sure I had an out. It won't happen again,until I'm ready for it at least," and as frustating as that was he did intend to keep his word. It wasn't just somenthing he'd say, he did mean it. "I'm the one feeling this way?" He shakes his head, he doesn't know if it made any sense, "Just… I've been feeling like… Well, this is probably a dumb quesition beucause well… You're huh--a very beautiful lady," he looks over at her, pushing the hair out of his face, and doing his best not to blush, he wasn't trying anything here, he was stating a fact, She was a beautiful lady, he was just and odd duck with these things, "But huh--have you ever felt… Not seen ? Like people look at you at certain way and that's who you will be to them?" He asks, unsure if he was making any sense maybe he was just too inside his head. "Oh… Well, just know if you ever want to… Vent or anything," he reaches over to place his hand on top of hers, "I can listen too, friendship is 2 way street a friend once told me," Avery says as he smiles gently at her.

[mickey-vaughan]

“I am,” Jesse stressed, “you’re just being extra annoying today, alright? Like you had way too much sugar in your cereal or something. Sitting over there like Mary-freaking-sunshine.” Actually, the more he engaged with the other man in these moments, the more that annoyance with Avery crept in. True, he wasn’t necessarily at fault for why the human was on edge currently, but there were things in the past month or so that Avery was responsible for. But these were things that Jesse knew he shouldn’t be bothered about and he wasn’t sure about why he was.

He shot a quick look at his passenger and switched hands on the steering wheel, shifting uncomfortably in the seat. Avery commenting about the pace of his heart only seemed to cause it to kick into overdrive and skippity-bippity in strange ways. Now his palms felt a bit sweaty— it made him way more nervous to know that Avery could hear something like that. “What are you talking about,” Jesse finally huffed, frowning at the road ahead, “you’re no vampire.. wolves can’t.. that makes no sense..” Christ, if he could hear that, how was he supposed to remain cool and collected?

At the mention of Tyler, Jesse’s face screwed up and jerked back some, clearly as if the mention of the other wolf came out of left field for him. Because it did— for Jesse. But it reminded the human of the fact it was Avery, of course he was going to bring the guy up. “Geez, you need to quit obsessing over the guy,” Jesse said through a scowl, the topic only appearing to make him moodier. “It’s Tyler this and Tyler that— nobody even mentions the guy and you’re over here, trying to find ways to bring him up out of the blue in every conversation we have.”

[xanderxmoorex]

"I--" Avery can't help but to chuckle at the other's words, he knows Jesse is, for some reason, pissed at him, but the way he's putting things just sound funny to him, "Well, I'm not much for a cereal guy, I'm more of a… Coffee and toast person, that's how boring I am," he tries to joke, lighting up, whatever mood this was, it was honestly confusing the Wolf, he didn't feel like he did anything to get that attitude. "Are you sure you're okay?"he can't help to ask, "Did I do something that pissed you off?" Honestly this didn't feel like it was just his never ending taking…

Avery regrets mentioning the heart beat as soon as he notices how umconfortable it made his friend, he should had known better, Jesse and the supernatural stuff didn't mesh well. "Vampires can do it in a more… I want to eat you kinda way, i think?" He pulls a face, "I hear it becuse of my ears, i have better hearing, plus its just us, in a tight place together, I can pick up more on it," he pauses for a second, hoping this wasn't making Jesse more umconfortable. "You can Turn on the music it may mask it a little," Avery sugests.

He was a bit suprised wen the other seemed to have snapped at the mention of Tyler, "Jesus man, if I didn't you know you I'd say you're jealous," he raised an eyebrow, "I mention him because he told me about you guys, how he was on your lap comforting you?" He makes sure to air quote the Comforting word, "And how you kissed him?" The Wolf wonders if this is the issue, why Jesse is acting this way, "Listen, man," Avery's voice is soft, "If this is why you're freaked out, or… You're scared to talk about it because of how I've been feeling lately, its fine," he places his hand on Jesse leg, giving it a little pat, "I was just having some--huh ego issues, I'm not gonna… You know, lose my shit for whatever happen with you 2, you know?" He removes his hand, " I mean… You got your work cut out with that one, he still thinks he's straight."

[ignislupinotuumdaemonium]

Zita simply nodded. She'd been in Greywood for five years & loved the peace that was offered in the town. The safety. "Five years," she answered. "Not a bad place to be. You seem like you'll it." She shut the box & walked back over to the cash register. "It's okay. Basic conversation based on observations, no?" It didn't like her husband, but it wasn't a touchy subject. "He's....Not my ideal husband anymore but I guess I've been stuck too long to leave." She shrugged. "My advice? Don't marry."

[xanderxmoorex]

"Five years can feel like a life time," Avery nods, he's been here for a little over a month and it already feels like an year, "Its not bad and people do seem nice so thats good ,right?" He smiles, it was just a bit diferent setting for him, but he does appreciate the town. "I Guess, i just don't want to be rude," he tells her, a frown comes over as she goes on "why? Its never too late, why would you want to be stuck in relationship like that?" He wasn't judging, he just really didn't get it. "Oh trust me I probably won't," Ave laughs, "I have no love life....never really felt the need for it."

[prettyboy-glowinggold]

Charlie nodded his head slightly as Avery sat down. Charlie closed the folder and put it to one side. "Right, Avery." Charlie said as he took another sip of his coffee before he looked at the male sitting across from him. Charlie shrugged slightly at the question. "Fine, busy with work." Charlie nodded towards the files before he smiled softly. "That is good to hear, in one piece I hope."

[xanderxmoorex]

"Thank you, please remember that," Avery nods, as he smiles at the detective. "I bet, you guys probably don't get a moments rest. I do think what you do is very Interesting, like the investigations, getting the evidence to get to the truth" he pauses for a second chuckling a little, "I'm swear I'm not a weirdo," though he figured Charlie got it, after all he did got that job. "Yes! No damaged done! I guess they tought it wasn't worth much and tossed it?"

[goldenretriever-werewolfwarrior]

"No, no they don't know. Not really something you can blurt out." Tyler said with a weak shrug, before he curled his hands around his coffee cup. Tyler nodded his head slightly, as he listened to Avery. Tyler nodded slightly, before he looked out the window. A small nagging feeling pulled at him, the tightness in his chest hit him hard. He knew why his parents worried, and Avery was right, he needed to reach out and tell them his was alright. He reached up and rubbed his chest slightly, trying to sooth himself before he looked back to Avery, trying to catch up on what Avery was saying. "I mean I don't blame them, it's a big thing." Tyler said as he shrugged slightly. "I didn't know what to believe when it happened, and then the full moon hit, and well..." Tyler had to believe what had happened, he couldn't explain to his dads how he ended up in the forest, naked.

Tyler let out a huff as Avery kept talking about what happened. Tyler tightened his hands around the cup more. "Yes, it helps." Tyler said softly, as he looked down at his drink. "I don't know Avery, alright. I don't know why or what. So just drop it." Tyler snapped, his eyes flicking up to Avery. "Just please, drop it."

"Sounds like she might of got out dodge real quick. She may not have intended it for it too happen, but maybe there was still some level of quilt there." Tyler said as he picked his cup up and took a sip of his drink before he lowered it again. He swallowed thickly, as he listened to Avery's next words. we have each other. The tightness in his chest from before was growing. Tyler forced a smile as he nodded his head slowly. "Yeah, of course. Me and you."

[xanderxmoorex]

Avery nods, "No, I get it man, I have no fucking clue how I'm gonna tell my dads, like, I can't just show up again and be like, Guess what, guys I'm a Wolf! You know?" He sighs, shaking his head, how was he gonna explain this one? What if they didn't believe? What if they tought he was crazy? All those fears, those seemed to be what was keeping Avery from at least explaining something to his dads. Avery looks over at his friend, a look of concern on his face, he wonder if he had somehow touched a nerve, though he does get it, he feels the same about his dads being there, not knowing what happened. "Yeah, same here," Avery sighs, "I thought i was loosing my fucking mind, until, you know there was no way to deny it anymore."

Avery's first thought is to reach out and grab Tyler's hand, though as he notices the eyes he stops himself, "Okay" Ave says, "Just know, there's nothing to be ashamed of... And I'm not scared of whatever that is," he wants Tyler to know, whatever that is, he's still gonna be here for him.

"I don't know, man, but-- the truth is not gonna change anything is it?" In all honestly it just felt like it was gonna cause more harm than good. He looks over at his friends, this time he does reach for Tylers hand, "I know you got this better than me, I'm a baby Wolf but, I'm glad you're here and In one way or the other, We've been trough similar things, we'll have each other's back."

[elena-delacruz]

"That depends. It's rude to say that I don't remember everyone, but certain cases certainly do stand out more often than not. For all kinds of reasons, not just the bad ones." Elena added the last sentence promptly, to avoid any kind of potential questions or disappointment. She never thought of her patients badly unless they deserved it - and even then, they didn't exactly come to the hospital for a holiday. Most of them were constantly in pain, both physical and mental. "Sometimes, people need help, and that's okay. We can't all be superheroes." She assured him softly, feeling bad for the young man. She couldn't even imagine what he had to be going through, and she feared that her son would not get enough support one day, either. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there is one somewhere. There has to be, right? Some problems are far too unique for a regular therapist to help with."

"Kinda. I mean, we've been here for just over a year, but it feels like both a decade and just a month. It's hard to explain, you know?" Still, she happily accepted the cigarette from the other, lighting it up once ready. "That's a relief. Thank you."

[xanderxmoorex]

Avery nods, "Oh, no, I get it, I'm sure some stick with you! Just is hard to remember everyone when you're seeing so many people on a daily basis," he didn't expect her to just forget everyone, he just knew some people would probably fly under the radar in a busy job like being a nurse. "Yeah, its just... Not a great feeling I guess?" Not the he was the proud kind that would be silent and broody and not want to take anyones help, it was mostly he didn't want to trouble others, and that's what he ends up telling her, "I just don't like being a bother," he. confesses. "I mean that would be kinda cool? Someone that could help beucause they are in the know, otherwise is just hard to explain to a regular human."

"No, I get it, its the other way around for me," he chuckles, "been here for a month, feels like a year, maybe because of how intense things have been? I--I mean feels like I've aged 5 years since I become a Wolf," honestly his old life felt like a life time ago if he was gonna be honest. "No problem," Ave smiles.
