May I join?

Hey, I won't be able to post today, so could we wait until tomorrow to start, or maybe you guys can just make starters?

@Qxeenscryche of course!

Sure!

Also (I forgot to mention this on the original post), throughout the rp our characters will be collecting clues that they can hold on to. Some may not be used right away.

Nice

Jonah sat in his usual seat in the corner of the small coffee shop, quietly sipping his drink as he scrolled through news articles. He got a few gleeful glances from a few people that entered the shop, probably chuckling over the fact that a cop had a doughnut sitting on the plate in front of him. How stereotypical. Of course, Jonah wasn't a cop. When people saw the shiny investigator's assistant badge on his shirt, they just assumed.
Two months since the sun went out, and not one person knows what the hell is happening. Jonah thought, furrowing his brows as he continued to stare at his phone. And if someone does, they're doing a damn thing about it.

Raven was sitting by the window, pouring over textbooks with an open computer and three coffee cups on the table- two were empty, and she was still drinking the other one. She sighed over the assignment, some pointless paper. Really, the sun disappeared, and they want us writing this? She groaned, letting her head hit the table. "Fuck this shit. Fuck an astrology major. I'm gonna be a stripper." She groaned.

Jonah wasn't sure how to react to the conversation he overheard the girl by the window having with herself. There was one bit of her exclamation that caught his attention. Astrology major. She might know something about the sun disappearing. Yet, Jonah didn't move to talk to her. If Jonah of all people couldn't find a lead, a college student that didn't even want to study wasn't going to help him.

Btw I’m actively reading these but I don’t want to post any actual writing til I can get on a computer cause I’m on my phone right now))

Okay thank youuuu))

((I love how he's just chill with the "I'm just gonna be a stripper."))

Raven sighed, sitting back up. "Stupid, narrow minded, doesn't want us to keep up with current events in Astrology professor." She muttered, taking a long drink from her coffee cup and going back to working on her paper.

WOAH I just got back to my house and everything is different))

I guess I have to post now let me go do that))

Zane propped his notebook on his lap and folded his legs up so his feet rested on the same bench he sat on. A mocha had been placed enticingly at the male's left side so he could reach for it while still keeping a pencil in his hand, but ignored how he had himself put it there for convenience and instead picked it up with both hands and brought it up to his chest, basking in the warmth on his previously cold hands. Two months ago the sun's light had briefly stopped shining, something that made Zane a little sad, because he had always loved sunshine. He shook his head and took a sip of his drink. He placed it back at his side and brought a pencil up to the page, brushed a few hairs out of his eyes before lightly drawing a leafless and flowerless vine.

Jonah kept scrolling through the seemingly endless news articles, desperately searching for anything that could give him a lead. I'm just an investigator's assistant, so why did they give me such a huge case? Part of him was wondering if he was assigned it as a joke. Maybe it was worth talking to that girl that had been talking to herself. He stared at her as he tapped his fingers on the table, trying to get rid of his nerves so he wouldn't stumble too much when he spoke to her. She's just a human being, Jonah. Just go ask her if she knows anything.

She had been typing away, but stopped suddenly. "Wait-wait, what was I just saying?" she muttered, going back to her (really messy) notes. "Okay, so planets…" ((Inset the rest of her mumblings here because I actually don't know collage level astrology and I'm too lazy to google it right know))

Mood))

Zane's eyes wandered from his page to around the coffee shop. It was a pleasant place and it smelled good which were always the kind of things he looked for when trying to find a place to get his creative juices going. A few people sat around, he spotted a muttering girl surrounded by papers and coffee cups on her computer, probably doing work for school, and he also saw someone wearing a police badge with a doughnut in front of him, which made Zane giggle. A smile settled onto his face as he returned to his page and began sketching a rose onto the vine. I wonder if that police guy is a detective of some sort? Maybe he's researching what happened to the sun two months ago? Maybe I should ask him… He wondered, half looking at the man wearing the badge, half at the drawing before him.

Godammit Jonah just talk to her. She's like eighteen she shouldn't be hard to speak with. With that, he put his phone in his pocket and made his way over to the astrology girl, vaguely aware that he was a little hunched over. "Um….hello?" Jonah began, his voice quieter than he would have liked it to be. "I just overheard you and….well I wasn't eavesdropping! I swear! Anyway….you're studying astrology?"

She looked up, blinking in surprise. "Uh…yeah. Yeah, I am. Why?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. *Well, I mean, an officer talking to me and randomly asking about m,y major isn't the weirdest thing. * "Is there a problem, sir?"

Jonah glanced down at his badge again, then raised his hands defensively. "Oh! Oh, I'm not a cop. Sorry for any confusion…" He trailed off for a few seconds before remembering what he wanted to talk to her about. "I'm investigating…uh…the sun disappearance that happened….about a month ago I think? I was wondering if you knew anything about it since…well…astrology and all that."
