The Flood: Character Creation

You know what? I like that idea and he was so into being a jock. Thanks KCC!

If it's 7 years later, Andy is 19 and already in the local college. If he's 17 he's getting ready to go, and he got a free ride soccer scholarship. He never left home and will commute in his mom's old Honda CRV which she gave to him.

Hells yeah, George would totally keep in touch. Maybe a new rub between them is Andy trying to avoid "the pot" in case of random doping tests, and George just always having a slight herbal smell and inviting him to all kinds of crazy parties.

Someone mentioned somewhere that Jaden probably failed school and/or spent time in prison. Here's my -always in a friendly way, FU idea. xD



Ever heard of Brian May?😈

George stayed in Boulder City and everything went normally. Like many kids, he discovered drugs early on and found in that a release from his anxieties. A degree of notoriety and popularity ensued, and an explosion of his ability to connect with others. Popular in certain circles, known as a staple if a good time was the intention.

That didn't mean that everyone wanted to connect with the new George. He didn't lose any friends, but a certain distance may have developed by those who wanted to walk a more standard path,a legal one.

So, Andy keeps his distance grin the parties, but they're still daytime friends.
Jaden keeps an entire distance, as if Spud was a time bomb.
Em I'm not sure. Was she reachable? If so,, George would have tried to keep in touch, even visited if he could.
Mikey left town and had only just returned, as I understand it.

Love the George avatar!

Andy went to the local college on a soccer scholarship and took the team and his studies very seriously. He was idolized by the young kids and had a trail of girls following him around campus but he wasn't an arrogant sort. He loved the attention though and didn't mind commuting to school and still living at home. He never forgot the incident at camp which shook him more than he cared to admit.

He never forgot his brief connection with Em, aka Robin, either, and being an empathetic sort he went to visit her in juvie (is that even allowed?) to find out from her what happened rather than believe any rumors he had heard. His problem was that although he had his pick of all the pretty girls, he couldn't connect with any of them. They were mostly all shallow and boring. So there is still a chance that he and Em could have had a chance at some 'what might have been' thing.

As to the friction. Yeah, just one is hard. This is an age where so much is going on and there are so many frictions.

Secret comms!

Sure letters would work I think. George and Andy could get together. Maybe they sent one at Christmas and maybe some other significant dates....
