The World of 1x1's discussion

Hi!!!!! :)

Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I had to cry because hulu forced me to watch the fault in our stars trailer.

Aweee!! I'm sorry! It's cool, don't worry about it :)

So do you have any ideas??if not I can give you a list of stuff I like to do and you can tell me what you like?

Um, well I guess it depends if you want to do romance or not, and if you want to do doubles or not.

I like some romance thrown in, yes, but I'm not sure what doubles are?

It's when you do two sets of couples so both people get to be a girl and a guy. It's mostly just for romance, but it let's people rp a more diverse crowd.

Oh, we don't have to do that! I have so many RPs going so I'm good being either.....

Okay! Well I had a few ides, give me a second to type them up.

Okay!

1, So there's this girl that can talk to animals. She decides to use this talent to her benefit and started working at a zoo with plans to be a vet for exotic animals. But of course, she's barely in college so she's stuck doing menial work like cleaning out cages and stuff. There's this guy that is the head of the veterinarian department, he's extremely young for the position but he's a genius that loves studying animal behavior. One day he's in the cage of one of the more dangerous animals like gorillas or something and one of the animals freaks out for some reason or another and the girl saves him. He thinks it's because she's great with animals at first so he asks her to assist him during her off time for extra pay or something like that, and over time he realizes that she can actually talk to animals. After that we'll have to come up with more drama to keep the plot moving or something.

2, In a small town, there's this high school that highly emphasizes scientific studies. One day, some of the students were trying to engineer a new type of plant, but it didn't work how they thought it would. Somehow the plant got out of the lab and started spreading like wildfire. It was a pretty plant so no one minded, but then it started behaving oddly. The flowers began releasing a strange aroma that if two people smelled the same flower, they would fall in love. Enter our two characters. These two are on opposite ends of the social spectrum. So when they actually sniff the same flower they are determined to stop it's effects before they do something they will regret.

3, In the near distant future, Whatever that means, Humans have finally reached Pluto. The astronauts that came back however, all became sick and died. But before dying, they passed the disease onto others. A worldwide epidemic broke out, killing more than two thirds of the population. It was thought to never leave survivors until scientists proved it wrong. People began surviving the disease, but what was left afterwards was a mutant. These people began having strange powers. The human race feared these people mutated by the disease and had them all branded and locked up in a reserve behind walls. One day, a girl, or boy, whatever works, got out. They were injured and found by a human their age. This human was always different, and curious about the mutants, so they secretly helped the mutant.

Could I be the girl? Also, if you don't like any of these ideas we could look at yours.

I like 1 and 2.....haha I really want to do both.....hmmmmm

We could do both by just making a second topic. But two topics is a lot to rp. If we do both, then I'm okay with being the girl for only one of them.

Okay....ummm let's do number 1 and I'll be the guy...is that okay? And then maybe later we can do number two? It might be a lot...

Sure. That makes sense. Do you want to make the characters detailed, or just the rp?

Umm I have a certain template that I go by....so I'll just use that. It's not really detailed but it's not super simple either lol

Okay then, I guess I'll use one of my template's as well.

Sure thing ;)

Personality:
Elise isn't the most outgoing person in the world. She hasn't got too many friends… but, she doesn't really mind too much. That's because Elise speaks to animals instead of speaking to people. She prefers their company over the company of humans because they have a unique perspective on life that makes them more enjoyable. It's not that she sees humans as bad, it's that she can't stand their stupid techno-babble and day to day dribble that seems too unimportant to make the world go round. But it does. So she mostly isolates herself and chooses not to smile or show any emotion until she is by herself and can speak to animals.

History:
Elise has been able to speak to animals for as long as she can remember. Ever since she was a child, it just came naturally. Pets all had an affinity towards her over other animals because she could tell what they liked and didn't like. She could understand them. Other children thought she was the coolest person because she could get butterflies to land on her and what not. But eventually that love turned to hate. They hated that she could get animals to love her, but they could not. Over time she was seen as an outcast. All the children got over their animal obsession and grew up. They went on to have social drama and non-stop texting while Elise was left behind with her animals. Now she's learned to deal with it and keeps her secret as close under wraps as possible until no one is around. Then she speaks, and listens.

Can you PRETTY PLEASE!??!?
*bats eyelashes furiously*

Yep, just give me a second to channel my inner writer. And by that I mean take a shower, but same thing.

Hahaha, but of course ;)

Elise, once again, was on duty to pick up trash that ungrateful citizens of San Diego were too dignified to just throw away when they had a chance. Instead, they throw it on the ground where it's Elise's job to pick up before it gets into an animal cage. It was completely unfair. In fact, Elise would rather be cleaning up elephant dung than having to clean up after people. "I have never seen so much disrespect in my life." She muttered to herself and glanced at her watch. The zoo was closing soon. That made Elise sigh inwardly with relief. Once the zoo was closed and the cages cleaned, Elise liked to walk around to talk to the animals.

After one last look around, Elise figured she'd picked up enough trash that day and went to go put away the stupid grabber tool that she was required to use when she picked up trash. While she was relieved to not touch the trash, she found the thing so ridiculously annoying that she hated it anyway. After that was done she went to go find her locker that was in the veterinarian building so she could change out of her uniform. That was where she was supposed to be working, but as a new hire, and a young one at that, she was stuck doing menial work like picking up trash. "All in a days work Elise." She muttered as she entered the building.

((So should he be there working late and run into her?))

Jacob had waved goodby to all of his co-workers almost an hour ago. He'd wanted to stay late that night and get some extra 'work' done. Although, to him it wasn't really work. He liked to spend time with the beautiful animals and give them some love, but he just told everyone he had work to get done. He didn't think his boss would like him hanging around just to play with the animals. He had one of the chinchillas with him as he walked through the building. It was recovering from a broken wrist and he was taking extra special care of it. He had him perched on his shoulder and a box of raisins in his hand. He was feeding him the raisins one by one, smiling as the little guy ate them. He walked into the locker room, wanting to grab another box of raisins for the chinchilla to eat, considering he'd almost finished off the box he'd already given him. He didn't see the girl in the room at first, too distracted by the chinchilla.

Elise had been about to change when a guy walked into the locker room. The head veterinarian to be exact. Elise was never quite sure what to make of the guy just because he was so eccentric at times.

"Ugh. I am in heaven. Is breaking my wrist really all it takes to get nonstop raisins?"

Elise chuckled when she heard the chinchilla. Obviously he was enjoying himself. "You know, if you feed him too many raisins like that you'll make the poor guy sick." Elise pointed out. What was his name? Jonah Jameson? No that was a Spiderman character or something.

"His name is Doctor James dumbnut." The chinchilla said, not impressed that Elise had just basically cut off his steady supply of raisins. "Doctor isn't his first name dumbnut." Elise muttered under her breath.

Jacob heard someone talking and he jumped. His eyes scanned the room and they fell upon a girl who looked about his age. "Oh, yes I suppose." He continued to his locker anyway though. He could always give the raisins to another one of the little angels in the veterinary department. He popped open his locker, which just so happened to be only three down from hers. He grabbed the other box of raisins and turned towards the girl. "What's your name?" He asked, curious as to why he didn't see her around much.

((It's fine!))

"Elise." She replied, pulling her change of clothes out of her locker. They were neatly folded. Just a plain t-shirt and jeans. "You uh, you mind?" She asked, motioning to her clothes, hoping she got the point across that she wanted to change. She didn't have anything against Whatsit James, but Elise just didn't know him. She just preferred to change out of her ratty work uniform and go find a quiet corner to not be bothered. Not even by the animals. While she loved animals, they were close to the entire reason that her life was as horrible as it was and sometimes she needed to just be by herself.

Jacob smiled when she told him her name. It wasn't often that he met someone that he didn't know in the department, in the relatively short time he'd been there he'd gotten to know just about everyone there....well everyone except her. He raised his eyebrows when she motioned to her clothes and asked him something. "Sorry! Yes, of course. So sorry..." He paused, shaking the little box of raisins and closing his locker. "I'll just be on my way. It was very nice to meet you Elise." He said, giving her a small smile. He petted the Chinchilla on his shoulder and held his free hand out to her. "Perhaps I'll see you around..." He added, his curiosity about her certainly peaked.

"Well I work here don't I?" Elise said with a sly smile and shook his hand. What a peculiar person. Although she was mostly surprised by the fact that he hadn't noticed her muttering to herself. Usually that put off most people. Her talking to animals was mostly why people saw her as crazy.

You're smiling now. Just wait until it's just me and you dumbnut! I'll teach you for taking away my raisins! The chinchilla crowed. Elise just held back her laughter. Chinchillas were always so full of themselves.

Jacob heard what she said and saw the smile she was giving him. He chuckled lightly, finding everything about her fascinating and amusing. Who was this girl? He wanted to know, but she wanted to change and he didn't want to hold her up or anything. It was already getting late. "Indeed, you do." He said, returning her smile with a bright and playful one of his own. He pulled his hand from hers after shaking it and adjusted his glasses. He hated wearing the glasses because it made him self conscious. He'd been made fun of a lot and felt like his glasses made him unattractive, when really they made his green eyes pop and his cheekbones looked more defined.

Elise ran her hand through her hair, pushing it out of her face and smiled once again at Dr. James as he left. As soon as he was gone she began peeling off her sweaty work uniform. One of the reasons she stayed so late was so she could change into regular clothes in peace. She wasn't like some of the more confident girls who worked here that could whip their clothes off with not a care in the world for who was in the room. It was almost unnerving to Elise. Once she was changed, she shoved her work uniform into her bag. The only downside to working late was that she had to walk across the park alone.

The shortest route was through the monkey exhibit, but monkeys were trashy and liked catcalling to anything that walked by, humans, animals, and sometimes insects alike. The would whistle at a trash bag that blew past their cages and it made Elise super uncomfortable. So she always ended up taking the long way to the exit past the reptile exhibit. Reptiles were always so quiet no matter the time of day and that put Elise's mind at ease. Shaking her head to interrupt her long train of thought, Elise closed her locker and left the locker room.

Jacob wandered out of the locker room and put his little Chinchilla friend back in his cage. He wasn't quite sure what to do with the rest of the raisins. He had a whole extra box! He decided that he would feed them to the lizards and the turtles in the reptile section. He started towards that section, pulling his lab coat a little tighter around his shoulders. He had the raisins in his pockets. He walked briskly, constantly adjusting his glasses because they kept slipping on his face.

Elise walked at a pace that was much more like mosey. She wasn't in any hurry to get home, but being one of the few people still at the zoo wasn't on her to do list either. Most of the animals were asleep and that made the zoo, which was normally so full of life, extremely eerie. She was passing the reptile exhibit when she saw Dr. James. It looked like he was feeding them some of the raisins as well. Elise grinned. "Did it ever occur to you to just eat the raisins yourselves?" She asked as she walked into the exhibit. What an odd individual.

Jacob stopped, holding a raisin up to a lizard, when he heard a girl. It was Elise. He turned his head, making his glasses slide almost completely off his face. He grinned madly at what she said. "I don't really like raisins....and it's much more fun to feed them to the animals." He told her. He honestly liked making the animals happy. He'd come to love them in the time he'd spent with them. He looked at Elise and thought about the run in they'd had earlier. She seemed quite interesting honestly.

Elise shook her head and walked over next to him. "For a veterinarian, you sure know very little about animals." She took a few of the raisins and tore them into smaller pieces. "Some of the lizards you're feeding don't chew their food. If you keep giving them whole raisins, you'll give them tiny lizard indigestion. Unlike the things they normally eat, the skin on the raisins is hard to break down so unless you break the skin, they won't digest the raisin properly."

Jacob watched, quite surprised, as she took some of the raisins and started tearing them. He listened as she spoke and his jaw dropped. He fixed his glasses rather slowly, simply admiring her. She was absolutely brilliant. How had he not thought of that? He smiled and tilted his head down a little, trying to hide it. "Maybe I'm not the one who should be the Veterinarian then..." He said, teasing her. "You know, I haven't seen you around the lab...did you just start recently?" He asked, wanting to know where she'd been all his lif- while he'd been working there....

"I started working here two months ago through a program they offer at UC San Diego." Elise replied with a smile and dropped the bits of raisins in the lizard's cage. The lizard scurried around to find the raisin pieces, saying a lot of gibberish. She looked at the plaque for the lizard and saw that it was fairly new, and it came from South America. "Hmpf. Spanish." She sighed, now knowing why she didn't understand the lizard. Most animals don't speak in English when they get to the zoo, but over time, after listening to humans talk, they eventually learn English. Elise didn't understand how it worked because they were animals, but she was glad that it did work. It was hard to clean cages if the animals didn't listen to her.

He listened to everything that she said and nodded. He still didn't understand why he hadn't seen her around. She had to work in the lab right? She was part of the veterinary department, that's why she had a locker there. She was brilliant and he believed wholeheartedly that she was a veterinarian. "That's funny...I think I would have remembered seeing you around before." He shrugged his shoulders and gave her a small smile. "What position do you hold?" He asked. It was kind of personal, but he was very curious. She muttered something about Spanish. "What was that?" He asked, wondering what she was talking about.

"Position?" Elise laughed wholeheartedly. "I may work in the veterinarian department, but being a new hire means I don't get to go anywhere near the animals. Right now I just pick up trash, clean cages, and if I'm lucky I can feed the animals when the trainers aren't here. Maybe that's why we hadn't met until today." She leaned against the wall next to the lizard's cage and sighed. When he asked about her muttering, Elise felt her skin crawl. "Oh, I was just thinking that the lizard is from Brazil, so it's Spanish. I guess it sounded funnier in my head." She looked at her feet sheepishly. What a lame excuse.

Jacob smiled wide when she laughed. It was light and melodious. He didn't quite understand what she meant though about being a new hire. When he'd come to work here, he'd been given the top job. He didn't have to start from the bottom like she apparently did. "Oh, well that's a shame. I wish we could have met sooner." He said, giving her a genuine smile. She was a very intelligent girl, he could tell and he preferred her company to that of his other co-workers. They were always trying to take his job and were mouthing off. She was quite refreshing really. "Ah yes, the green Iguana. She's beautiful, isn't she? I prefer the name given to them in Puerto Rico though, Gallina de palo." He beamed, looking more closely at the beautiful lizard. He wasn't trying to show off, he was just listing off random facts is all....

"Well, you learn something new everyday." Elise replied with a smile. "I'm not very good with the names of animals, I prefer to look more into behavior. Like with that chinchilla you had earlier, he really liked you. But I suspect it was more from the bottom of his stomach than from the bottom of his heart." Elise pushed off the wall so she was no longer leaning on it and walked slowly around the reptile exhibit, glancing into some of the cages. She stopped in front of the Boa cage. "Do you have a lot of work to do tomorrow?" Elise asked him.

Jacob smiled when she told him that the Chinchilla liked him. He'd gotten the faint idea that he did, but she seemed completely sure. He laughed when she commented about the Chinchilla's stomach. "Yes, I'm quite sure of that." He said. He walked around the room, keeping his eyes on Elise while she was watching the reptiles. He heard her question and smiled, pushing his glasses up on his face. "Most of the animals are doing really well, so I don't think kill have a lot of work tomorrow, why?" He asked, curious as to why she would ask that. He joined her in front of the boa cage and glanced at her, waiting for her to answer his question.

"The Boa." Elise answered. She couldn't hear the Boa's voice. Elise hadn't known these things when she was younger, but over time she found that when she could no longer understand an animal, that it wouldn't be long. But the thing that bugged her was that the Boa was young and looked perfectly healthy. So she was stumped by what could be wrong with it. "I know the others vets think it will be a waste of time, but I think the Boa is sick." Elise bit her lip. It was a shot in the dark to ask a favor from this guy. Especially because the Boa looked fine.
