4:57 pm	AlexandraLauren Bristow Nicknames: Alex Age/Birthday: Gender Identification: Female Birthplace: Seattle Hometown: Vancouver,BC,Canada Languages: [List primary language first, and only list languages the character is fluent in; cursory or elementary knowledge of a language doesn't count!] English, French Religion: Lapsed Catholic Legal Status: Dual US/Canada Citizen Family: Stepbrother Best Friends: Enemies: Position/Grade: [Teachers/Faculty - list courses taught/job title; Students - list current grade level] Dorm: [Students/Dorm Parents Only] Education: NA Interests: Ice hockey appearance Alex looks like a girl more at home in a hockey rink when not in classes. She dresses for ease via jeans and her growing collection of concert tees unless its for blitzball, that's when her wetsuit comes into the mix. But Alex can also dress up and be pretty, but with her unique twist always attached. For one formal she wore a nice red and black dress but with boots instead of heels as one example. As for her hair it ranges from ponytails to nice waves depending on the event. She moves like she's on speed at times, her camera always along for the ride. Its even worse when it comes to hockey and blitzball, but that is when its actually a good thing. Otherwise Alex has dark brown hair unless she gets bored and adds the red highlights via wash out dye and green eyes. She is also unaware of how pretty she actually is. Her keystone is usually wore on a chain next to her protection stone from her twin brothers. Beyond her chain and small earrings she wears a funky divers watch she found while visiting her brothers in Seattle last year. As for scars she has a small pair on her wrists from the night her powers popped into the picture along with various minor wounds from sports. [At least 1 well-formed paragraph] personality Alex has every reason to be scared of her ability: she could easily kill someone if a healing ever goes wrong. Ever since the accident that killed her friend and triggered her powers Alex has changed in so many ways: on the outside she's still the same girl that lives for hockey season and new epsiodes of Supernatural. But on the inside she's grown more fearful: of herself and her healing ability. The panic attacks started within a few weeks of the accident. At the time Alex's family figured it was just a bad reaction to the loss of a close friend. But after Alex's powers came out via her healing a cut on her hand from broken glass (tossed in a grief induced fit of rage) along with setting a paper plate on fire she saw how much of a monster she had become. In fear she spent the next 2 days in the family attic: only coming down when she came down with a nasty cold. The letter from Priest made Alex see she would be among others like her so she decided to enroll. But being the lone mage that could heal also made things ten times harder. That is where the side effects come into play: after healing nasty wounds Alex has been dealt everything from massive headaches to passing out and ending up in the nurses office. The sessions started the first time she had an attack at Priest and it caused her to burst open an old cut on her shoulder: causing a fair amount of blood loss. But now in her second year she's been able to cut sessions to once a month at most. But one thing that has been helping Alex face both her powers and her somewhat off people skills: ice hockey. Beyond sports and the camera Alex is a work in progress. As a healer she can do some great things but there is always that scared little voice that lurks under the tough girl surface.

1:49 am	the basics. FULL NAME: Rebecca Rose Murphy PB: Kristen Stewart BIRTH DATE: March 17th AGE: 17 RESIDENCE: TBA OCCUPATION: HS student/Clerk at Art Supply Shop SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Straight background. FAMILY INFORMATION: Living with foster parents *insert name* PERSONALITY: Your classic moody artist with a few more demons than most. BRIEF PERSONAL HISTORY: Telluride was the next stop on a long string of foster familes since Rebecca Murphy was attacked back in her former school this past September. Her caseworker only knew the talented painter had to get away from a bad period and was placed with the *insert name* within a month of the attack. She is a talented artist and her favorite media is paint. She is a regular in the school art room during lunch and is taking art classes at the nearby college since she's cleaned out the HS based options. She also designed logos for a couple of local bands and is even thinking of starting a small business as a flyer designer to make some spending money. She's also won several online art contests and has her some of her work in student art shows. But for now she works at a small art supply shop since the money is keeping her in paints and pens. Beyond her art music and science fiction have become saving graces: especially Doctor Who since she relates all too well to what The Doctor has gone through after the Time War. As for music her cd collection and IPod run the map from My Chemical Romance to Damien Rice to Michael Buble and Crystal Method. She was sexually and physically assaulted by the school drama teacher this past September during the fall play (she was set painter). Her close friend *insert name* came to her aid after the teacher trashed her in public. So what is left of her reputation is basically shot and she's become the favorite target of several around school. Around the same time as the attack she had just landed in foster home 19 and had also started to learn the truth about her bio parents and was also the target of an egging in the parking lot. Things only got worse after the attack when her foster home changed 3 more times and she got slammed into a locker. She also became the favorite target of a female school bully around the same time. So the next stop was Telluride and when her best friend found out what had happened he moved in with his uncle to be closer to Rebecca during the recovery process. (Comment on this)

6:21 pm	Hockey in the Zebul common room on tv if anyone is getting stir crazy or just needing something to do. I've also got a video game contest going too. That and plenty of leftovers to share from my trip to Seattle for Thanksgiving. Private to Zebuls and Friends in Other Houses What a way to come back after American Thanksgiving! I've got an army of bored first and 2nd years playing video games and well I'm itching to skate. At least I can leave my family in the dark for now. But I'm sure my trips home are cursed, its like every time I go home something bad happens. Fresh box of candy in the Zebul kitchen. [/Private] (Comment on this)

4:02 pm	Anyone heading to Seattle for American Thanksgiving? But so not happy about having to give up prime Black Friday shopping for potions! To explain: I'm a US/Canada dual since mom is from Chicago but moved to Vancouver after meeting dad. Private to Zebuls and Friends in Other Houses I finally told Rocky what happened the weekend last round of crazy broke but when I ported back from Vancouver I was royally screamed at for no reason. It was nobody from here thankfully but its getting scary. So I was thinking given recent event phone or email buddies may come in handy? [/Private] (Comment on this)

2:19 am	Blitzball was beyond epic and we won to boot!!! Now its onto the dance concert tommorow and a quick trip to Seattle this weekend to suprise the twins, its been ages since I've gotten to see them plus ok I'm kinda craving a cheese steak from one of the local pubs. Also thinking about Thanksgiving given the whole dual country factor, but then I am more excited about Black Friday (mostly since I'm eyeing a pair of wicked looking hockey skates). My family will overcook so besides maple syrup candy any requests? Free: You picked the Canucks vs Rangers game right? Private to Yitzchak Any word from the nurse about what we were talking about? I also dropped off some emails from my father about how the shot mess is looking back in Vancover. Plus is it me or do things seem more tense than usual? [/Private] Private to Zebul Blitzball Everyone ok post game? Pretty sure I caught everything injury wise but better safe than anything else. [/Private] (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:26 pm	I feel silly for even thinking about this. But do flu shots have any weird effects on healers? My parents want me to get the jab when I port home for the Canucks season opener. (21 Comments |Comment on this)

12:23 pm	Happy Thanksgiving from Vancouver! I'll be back on campus tonight. (Comment on this)

2:09 pm	Guess why none of the Canadian kids are happy? Monday is our Thanksgiving and most of us would rather be home than dealing with having to attend this ball. So guess what? The port is going to be jammed after the ball with everyone from the Canadian kids porting home for Thanksgiving to those that were going home anyway. Beyond the fact this was not the best weekend timing wise I'm dealing, I mean the anger levels around here are not getting any better... Private to Yitzchak Look, I know you're not happy about this either but need a date? Given the sudden turn of events I can only offer good company. [/Private] Private to Friends I'm taking requests for food to be brought back since my folks overcook every year! As for the ball: I'm just annoyed it had to be this weekend of all weekends because of Thanksgiving. Braving a mobbed port with who knows how many is not my idea of fun and since one of the Therians vs Faie attacks was in Canada I'm more spooked than usual. But all this rage is not doing anyone any good right now... In the last 3 days I've seen 5 shouting matches, had to save a freaked out 2nd year from being screamed at and 6 unplanned minor healings (all due to things from shoving matches to one honest accident). I'm feeling pretty helpless at the moment and right now knowing going home for a few days awaits is the one thing that makes sense. But right now besides a band of great friends and my family I'm not sure if there really is anything to be thankful for. [/Private] I know there was a request made for maple syrup candy but any other requests food wise? My parents overcook every year and its always awesome! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:12 pm	Private to friends You guys know that little need of mine to help people? Well it kicked into overdrive once again when I saw the paper and one of the attacks being in Canada. Being a healer is one thing but when you're a healer with a fierce need to help and its impossible it just makes matters that much worse. Sure there's the tank since I'm the unoffical healer within the team but there's that part of me that wants to make a difference somehow. I just wish there was something I could do, no matter how small. [/Private] Who did I promise maple syrup candy too? Dad just sent a huge box of the stuff!!! Also in the midst of a small debate: Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up so I have the ok to port back to Vancouver for the day (I can promise leftovers! My folks are unreal cooks) but is it crazy I also want to mark US Thanksgiving since I'm actually a dual of both places? Free: You now have a schedule for the Canucks. (Comment on this)

10:33 pm	Private to Zebuls and friends You guys know that little need of mine to help people? Well it kicked into overdirve when I ported back from Canada today. Between ducking a couple of shouting matches and saving a couple of freaked out first years mostly but in the physical sense I'm in one piece, that is minus a couple of minor wounds from hockey with my mundie friends while home. Call it a very sick feeling but why am I thinking those shounting matches are only the beginnings of some darkness? But my brothers gave me an idea to boost spirits around the house but I'm not sure how people outside Zebul would take it. On a much happier note I have a big box of maple syrup candy to share within the house! [/Private] The Canucks preseason game was a total blast and a nice breather from all the madness at the moment. Plus Winchester mewed his happy mew, looks like my cat missed me (thank you whoever kept his bowls filled while I was home!). I bear treats from Canada so who asked me about the salt and vinegar chips? As for the french fries in mayo thing that's something I'm not sure people would like to see (but is there a way to microwave fries without magic??). (Comment on this)

11:54 pm	Private to Zebuls and friends I feel trapped right now. Vancouver is pure mundie so outside of hockey with my local mundie friends I'm just sitting here wishing I could freaking do something! The healer in me wants to do something right about now. That side is saying,"Find a way to Peru" while the mundie side is saying,"You're better off here in Canada". Plus I'm more scared things are about to get ugly and not many within Canada would even get what I'm feeling right now. So part of me is fearing the worst come next week but part of me is also clinging to a little faith that cooler heads take charge. [/Private] Porting back sometime on Saturday since Friday is the Canucks game. Right now I need that tiny piece of normal. Plus I can try out the new Mexican place near the rink before the season starts. Anyone in Canada or close to Vancouver? (Comment on this)
12:10 am	A healer trapped in Vancouver... I left Malibu early yesterday before the world went nuts, mostly to beat the mob at the port station. Landed in Vancouver yesterday afternoon and was left in the dark untill now so yup, I'm pretty pissed off. But before all hell broke loose I actually had a blast from surfing lessons to letting Deke teach me how to dive. Even got the essay done before I left so I could enjoy my few days at home. But now I'm just as torn: do I stay put or go back to Idris? Of course being the only magical in a mundie family makes matters worse. My folks think I should go back early but also get I need some normal a la the game. But I'm also part of a magical hockey team here in Canada and well I have a sick feeling practice will be nasty tommorow (but I work through my rage in the rink or the tank). Beyond the rink and tank I'm fearing the worst... As of right now I'll come back on Saturday as planned unless you guys think otherwise (but it would be no eariler than after the Canucks preseason game on Friday night). Free: you have email with the home schedule and please tell me you'll be back early? The healer in me wants to do something so badly.... Private to Zebuls and friends Why do I have a very sick feeling its about to get ugly at Idris? I'm just a mere witch but I'll know more after practice in the morning since well one of the wings is a Therian (but he's a very cool guy). I've got a feeling the healers will be kept busy.

2:23 am	Vancouver or Malibu? Part of me is itching to go home but part of me is also itching at the idea of warm weather sports and even surfing. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

11:34 pm	The rage levels are off the freaking charts! Already popped open another old hockey wound but healed this one up without major problems. Please tell me either people will mellow out a notch or Blitzball will lighten some moods? Because I'm not a happy healer right now. Only good moment last few days: seeing the reaction of the first years when I helped with dragon feeding. So who else got talked into going out for the talent show? Private to self I hate feeling like this. I could have freaking done something! [/Private] Private to Zebul Blitzball Ok, are we down any in terms of numbers?

12:29 am	Somehow survived Founder's Weekend given all the recent weird. James and Oliver left for Seattle a couple of hours ago and they promised me they'll try to keep mom and dad off my case, not sure how but I know my brothers. Given all the darkness floating around I'm somehow holding up, just scared more than anything else knowing what I can do as a healer. It is bad I'm already itching for hockey season along with more Blitzball? I'll be porting home on weekends for home games once the season starts and I can share tickets again this season. Free: I got my hockey stick and skates!! Mom and dad also gave the ok for you to come to Vancouver with me for a game once the season starts. There's an awesome Mexican place near the rink that is so much fun for a post game snack too. Need to feed Winchester so more next time. Private to Fellow Zebul Housemates Please tell me I was able to get the blood out of the common room carpet? Mini power meltdown when news broke and busted open an old cut from a hockey skate. [/Private] Private to self I could have saved Julian.... [/Private] (19 Comments |Comment on this)
