#ari's adventures with the housing lottery continue

[anneapocalypse]

I want to get into RP in FFXIV but in the most casual noncommittal way possible like I want to stand in my yard doing the sweep emote on the sidewalk with my RP tag up and chat with the neighbors in-character. I want to craft a casserole and take it to the people who just bought the plot next door to welcome them to the neighborhood. And then go inside and not talk to them for a month.

Back in the roaring center of Emerald Height lives our next family - and it's a pretty big one!

King-Montes

Gabriela never expected to fall in love again after her first husband died. David asked Gabriela to marry him because he knew their families belonged together. If only Maribel and Raneka got along better... Will they be a happy family or will something break them apart? And when will Maribel reveal her family about the secret feelings she has for Holly?

David asked Gabriela to marry him because he knew their families belonged together. But it seems like he's been waiting forever to get married! At first, things were too busy at work, and then Litzy came, and now David is starting to wonder if he'll ever see Gabriela walk down the aisle.

Raneka's sick of sharing space with that slob! Daddy hasn't paid her any attention since they moved into this big, red, chicken coop of a house. Mom wouldn't make her share a room, no way.

If Josue closes his eyes and remembers real hard, he can still smell Papi's cigarros and hear the coqui. He can't help feeling that if he could only just go back home — really home — Papi would still be there. It's better than trying to fit into this mixed-up city with his mixed-up family.
