Bisexual; hetero-romantic.

{ H E I G H T }
5'4"

{ B U I L D }
After dropping a lot of weight, she's fairly average now. Not slim, but not chubby either.

{ H A I R }
Dark brown.

{ E Y E S }
Hazel-green.

{ P H Y S I C A L--D E S C R I P T I O N }
Eida is a natural beauty, with a sweet round face, full lips, and gorgeous hazel-green eyes. Her soft features and the gentle smile she's typically seen wearing give her a warm, approachable impression to most. It's not often that she feels the need to wear any makeup, preferring not to bother with it all, but occasionally she'll wear something to make her eyes stand out. She has a natural olive complexion, and skin that she works hard to make clear of acne and blemishes.
Eida has always been a "comfort over glamour" kind of girl. When she knows she can get away with it, she'll opt for simple/casual clothing. T-shirts, skinny jeans, sneakers -- that sort of thing. Usually in lighter colours, such as beige or white. When staying indoors, she likes to wear baggy, over-sized shirts (usually the property of her roommate) and one of her thousands of pairs of black leggings.
Currently Eida has no tattoos or piercings at all -- she's never been the adventurous type and the thought of marking her body permanently is a frightening one. That being said, she does have some stretch marks across her thighs and hips from serious weight gain during her later high school years, and a series of small scars across her arms from kennel work.

β€’--Easy-going--β€’--Motherly--β€’--Charitable--β€’--Realistic--β€’--Forgiving--β€’

Within her current social circle, Eida is comparable to the mother of the group. She's laid-back, reliable, and open-minded a good 90% of the time, yet she can also be serious and plain-spoken when she needs to be -- or, at the very least, when her friends need her to be. She's someone you could always take your problems to and she'd hear you out, but wouldn't hesitate to give her two cents on the matter. Of course, she's still tactful about it, to save bruising an ego or two, however no one could say she's not completely honest.

Eida has untold levels of patience when it comes to her friends, and it's almost unheard of that she would lose her temper. The most she'll ever offer someone is an irritated glance or a scoff, but nothing more. Even that much is rare unless they're really pushing their boundaries. She's by far the most harmless human being you're likely to come across, and has in the past cried simply because a moth landed on her arm.

Her only downfall really is that she's far too forgiving of the people in her life. It mostly comes down to a fear of losing the relationships she does have, and in some ways, of ending up alone simply because she was too bitter to shove the small things aside. That's partly the reason she tried her damnedest to end on good terms with her ex, regardless of everything that went down. She's not the sort to pick sides, ever. It doesn't matter which one is in the wrong, she will always remain an impartial voice of reason.

As with all people, Eida has a completely different side to her after she's had a few drinks. She is, for want of a better term, a "fun drunk." But the sort you have to keep an eye on, lest you'd like to find her cradling an armful of garden gnomes she's thieved from some old lady's front lawn. Unlike her sober self, the girl has absolutely no shame. It's usually when she's drunk that secrets slip and withheld opinions are shouted without fear.

{ B A C K G R O U N D }
Eida was born into a very animal-oriented family, with her mother, father, and various aunts/uncles all working in various areas of the animal industry. From a young age she could perform vet-quality health checks on animals ranging from livestock to small mammals, and understood more about their behaviour than she ever bothered to learn about her fellow humans. While most kids played outside with friends, she was mucking out horses and trimming goat hooves. To say the least, she was always happiest when she had something to do, and she typically felt most comfortable in the company of animals. She wasn't outgoing and bubbly like most girls she went to school with and she was a little on the chubby side, but no animal was ever going to judge her for that like other children often did.

When she finished high school, Eida's mother and father provided what little money they had saved up for her to attend college, where she studied animal behaviour and science. Of course she was already more than experienced, but she knew having actual qualifications would help her in the long run. Throughout her school years she had a hard time focusing on her studies. Her attendance was poor and she always daydreamed in class, wishing she was playing with the dogs in her father's rescue centre or helping her uncle work the fields. She didn't seem to have the patience that she does now, unable to sit still for too long or waste time with subjects that she assumed would have no relevance to her later life. However, when she went to college and could finally focus on subjects that would push her towards her goals, she became a little more level-headed and committed to getting good grades, which she did in the end. More than that, she began to make more and more time for her friends.

After pestering her for near enough the entirety of her time at college, Eida's father finally convinced her to take what he referred to as a "gap year." He'd come into a bit of money from his own father's passing and wanted to travel with his daughter before she found herself too busy to bother with him at all. She reluctantly agreed, with the understanding that she would be using a few months of this year to spend with her friends for a similar reason. She doesn't know when she'll see the rest of them again after this; it's an opportunity she can't pass up.

Christopher was shocked that his flight from Boston had actually went smoothly. He wasn't a very frequent traveler, maybe flying once or twice a year for local vacations when he had the money, but that didn't stop him from thinking that airlines always somehow fucked things up. For someone who had access in involvement in drugs to an extent where getting Xanax wouldn't be that difficult, it's shocking that Chris still flew sober, because he hated flying. He felt like he was cursed when it came time to do so, as if all of the few times he flew things were delayed for one reason or another. Thankfully, his flight touched down in Los Angeles at around noon, and though it took a little while to get his bags, and then to deal with some traffic on the roads (as he expected, given LA's notoriety for it), he arrived at The Pier Towers at around one o'clock. Luckily, he was one of the last to arrive, and the Murrays were already there, which meant that they were able to get their keys and start the move in process with little time wasted on the cheesy and unnecessarily emotional "oh my god, I missed you!!!"s that could be expected with a group like this. Chris had missed (most of) them too, but he was glad that everyone seemed keen on getting their heavy bags into their apartments and getting settled before actually catching up. Even if the three hour time difference wasn't catching up to him quite yet in terms of feeling tired since it was only three o'clock on his body's time, he was hungry, and that was what gave him the motivation to actually unpack his things once he got to his room. If he didn't have food as the thing pressing him to get settled so he could move on and address it, then it wouldn't have been even slightly surprising for Chris to live out of his luggage for the next two and a half months.

After hanging what he didn't want to wrinkle in the closet, and shoving everything else into drawers in his dresser, he took a few minutes to arrange the rest of his things. He was surprised that he was going to get to have his own bathroom, but then again, it was the Murrays who had arranged this whole thing. He knew that they lived a different quality of life than he was used to, even if they weren't always obnoxious about it. Additionally, he reminded himself that he knew that this was going to be a sick deal when he walked into it. Mr. and Mrs. Murray had always been generous, but allowing them to rent a few of the apartments in the new building that Mr. Murray's company had just finished remodeling was on a whole different playing field than letting Chris tag along on one or two of their summer vacations years ago, or allowing him to take home all of the leftovers when Mrs. Murray cooked her famous chicken parm dish. Even if nothing else worked out, Chris had already decided that this summer was going to be a good one, because he was living in a nice apartment at a price that seemed dirt cheap, even compared to what he was used to back in Massachusetts, where things already cost less than California.

This was going to be a summer of renewal for him. A fresh start. After his breakup with Eida, it was no secret that Christopher had hit rock bottom. For the two years that they had been dating, he had miraculously rid himself of the excessive habits he had in drinking, partying, and the likes. He recognized that they were all empty habits with no benefits, but he had become addicted to them over the years of engaging in them. It was more than an addiction, really. Those things had become a part of his personality and identity, and abandoning them had meant abandoning hobbies and friends that went along with it. He had been so head over heels for Eida, that somehow, none of that mattered then, like it had mattered the many other times that he had tried to get his act together before. She was the first girl that he had fallen for, and he was just as surprised by it as anyone else. Even with their breakup being civil, and somewhat expected, Chris found himself feeling like he had lost his new identity. And what did he have to fall back on? The only other "him" he knew, fit with coping habits that he knew would numb the pain quickly. He was jobless, and back to drinking excessively and partying on the regular within a few weeks of the breakup. It sucked, and Chris was embarrassed that he let things fall apart so easily, but he also was trying to cut himself some slack. He had time to mope and hit rock bottom, and that was fine, as long as this summer, he picked himself up again and moved on. Doing so while spending basically every day with that ex-girlfriend right in his vicinity would be hard, and he knew that, but at this point, he had no other choice. Doing this surely beat spending the summer in his parents' basement, since his lease had just recently ended up his apartment, and he had no money to secure a new one back in Boston any time soon anyway.

Living in the same apartment as Greyson Murray was going to be awkward, and Chris was willing to admit that. He felt bad for what had happened years ago, when he was nothing short of a dick, and drunkenly beat the kid up for what he interpreted as him hitting on him. It was a bad thing to do, especially given how close he was with the Murray family at the time, and though it was no excuse, Chris could only blame it on him being young, and beyond stupid. He wouldn't deny that he was a complete asshole when he was younger, though he wasn't as willing to see that his personality hadn't changed that much since then. At least as much as he liked to act like it had. Other than Greyson, though, Chris didn't mind Delilah and Moriah as his two other roommates. With a closed fist, he banged on Moriah's bedroom door, saying, "Come on, sunshine. Let's go see if Sabrina's finally D-T-F this summer. I need a good wingman in my corner, because you know that nothing goes better with a summer in California than a pretty blonde," he said, with that not-much-has-changed showing through in his personality with that remark, especially considering that he knew that Sabrina's brother was possibly within hearing distance.

Dialogue Color: #005722
"Thirsting isn't the right word," Chris corrected her with a grin. It was the right word, really, because Moriah was right, and thinking about getting with Sabrina was just about as close to getting with her as Chris would ever get, but he had too much pride to admit it. The fact, as secret as it was, that he had been sleeping with Stella regularly over the past few months was enough to boost his already inflated ego into thinking that sleeping with Sabrina could actually be a possibility this summer, though. Despite basically growing up with the Murrays in a way that made them closer than normal friends, Chris had never been deterred from thinking that one day he would sleep with the two blondes. He was like their version of Roger from Sister, Sister, except he knew how to hide his flirtatious ways when around their parents. Being respectful and maintaining a proper image around parents was one of the few things that Chris was actually good at doing growing up. Just as he had managed to keep that act up for all of his life, he now had a new act to maintain, and that was acting nonchalant and normal around Stella and Gabriel.

He had moved in with Stella a few months back, after moving back to Boston for work, and subsequently losing that job due to the mental implications of his breakup with Eida. He was horrible for doing it, especially since Gabe was one of his best friends, and one of the people who convinced Stella that she would be doing a good deed by letting Chris stay with her until he got back on his feet, but his urges had led him to starting and maintaining a roommates with benefits relationship. If Stella wasn't his best friend's girlfriend, then he wouldn't have felt an ounce of guilt, but she was. Gabe was his boy, the one person who had been there for him through thick and thin, and he knew that this was the ultimate betrayal. Of course, he and Stella had agreed to keep what they had done a secret, and that it wouldn't happen again now that everyone was back together, but even being in the mindset that he couldn't look at her in a sexual way anymore, he struggled to know how to look at her. It was like one of those scenarios where someone had just done something wrong, and was told to "just act normal". He felt like his actions were going to seem robotic and stiff, since they were going to be overthought, and because of that, he figured that maybe avoiding Stella would be the best option for as long as possible, at least in the beginning. Once everyone else got comfortable and caught up, he hoped that he would feel more comfortable too.

"Hey man," Chris said, offering a return greeting to Greyson, who was one more person that Chris felt stiff interacting around. The guilt was there too, since even though the incident between them occurred years ago, he still felt guilty about it. Not guilty enough to ever man up and offer a genuine and heartfelt apology, but guilty enough to try to be pleasant in interactions. "I'll meet you over there," he said to Moriah, figuring that she probably wanted to stay and chat with Greyson for a little while, and knowing that that wasn't something that he wanted to do. "I forgot that you're brother's living over there too, and I'd rather talk to him before you or Violet do something to put him into a bad mood," he said with a smirk, as he slipped past the two and headed across the hall, before knocking loudly on apartment 4B's door, where Sabrina, Gabriel, Eida and Bennett were supposed to be staying.

#, as written by Bandit
This was what Gabe needed – a nice, long, refreshing summer of pure relaxation. California gave off that vibe completely, being a place that Gabe envisioned to be one filled with palm trees, and surfers, and people who were never in a rush to be anywhere other than where they were. Surprisingly, this was his first time in the state. He had been on the west side of the country before, during a trip to Las Vegas for a friend’s twenty-first birthday, and when he visited The Grand Canyon as a kid, but he had never made his way to the golden state before. Before this summer, he had never had a specific reason to, and with how busy he tended to be, it was often easier to book smaller weekend getaways to New York or Miami when he had the money and needed to relax. California had always just been too inconvenient and out of the way, so he was relieved to finally have an excuse to visit, and in this case, not just visit, but actually live there for a few months. After graduating from medical school this past spring, he knew that he not only needed, but deserved, some time to relax. He was lucky that his residency didn’t start until the fall, as many of his fellow classmates had positions that started immediately after graduation, and he was even luckier that his schedule happened to align with those of his friends, some of whom he knew were just as busy as him, and others who… who probably found that this vacation was easier to fit into their schedules. As was the case with Chris, who had knocked on the apartment door just as Gabe was about to open it to leave.

To: Stella
You read my mind ;). Preferences or should we let the others pick?

Stella’s text coincided with the knocking, and answering that as he used his other hand to open the door left him with a momentary delay in actually realizing that it was Chris and greeting him. When he did look up though, a grin fell into place almost automatically. Though he had his flaws, Chris was one of Gabriel’s closest, and longest lasting friendships. They had grown up together, gotten into trouble together, and eventually, taken different roads in life, but regardless of that, they had managed to remain close. Chris was always there when Gabe needed a night out to drink away his worries, and even if he tended to feel like Chris needed to act his age more frequently, he tended to go more lightly on Chris than he would anyone else, simply because they were friends. It was why he had excused many of his more oblivious faults and poor actions, like the incident with Greyson. β€œWhat’s up, man?” he greeted with a wide smirk. β€œSurprised your ass is up at this hour. Still recovering from your never ending hangover, or did you decide to give being a functional human being a shot, and didn’t get yourself almost-kicked-off-the-flight-drunk on your way here?” he inquired.

Still standing in the doorway, he remembered Stella’s text, and letting Chris in, he moved a bit deeper into the apartment to call out to the others. He assumed they were in there, though he had been in the zone enough as he organized his space, that it was possible that he missed them slipping out. β€œSabrina, your sister wants to eat,” he called out, smiling as he continued with, β€œso you know that that means that it’s time to eat.” Despite dating her, Gabe wouldn’t hesitate to poke fun at Stella’s tendencies to be rather controlling. He liked to think of it as a positive traits- like she knew what she want and was confident in herself. β€œEida, Bennett, you guys hungry?” he continued, still speaking loud enough that he hoped they could hear from their bedrooms, if that was where they were. As he looked back to Chris, his voice lowered to an appropriate noise level, however. β€œSo, yeah, think I’m gonna grab lunch with Stella. Your people all in your apartment? I’ll text my sisters and see if they’re hungry,” he added, as he pulled out his phone to do just that.
