Short description of roleplay:

(This is based off Gayle Foreman's novel Just One Day)

The damn suitcase that you were pulling around for a week now has gotten caught between the train doors once more. The trains in Europe seem to be extremely impatient and are causing your temper to reach an almost volatile point. Finding your seat, you sit down and try to relax. Closing your eyes, you try and distant everything around you as you attempt to give into exhaustion. Your attempt is rudely interrupted as someone sits in the chair next to yours, continuing a conversation in fluent French with a group a couple chairs away. Since your irritation meter was already on the verge of it's breaking point, you open your eyes, preparing to tear into the person who is ruining your time to adjust.
But you are caught off guard when an extremely attractive person is the one who sits next to you. You immediately feel a spark light between the two of you as the train pulls out of the station.
"Où vous rendez-vous?" they ask you. Your tongue is glued to the top of your mouth as your heart drowns is despair. They only speak French? But you are soon saved when they respond with a chuckle and say, "Where is it that you are traveling to?"
"Oh! Well, I was on my way to the airport to catch a plane back to America." you respond with a smile. But the person you are talking to frowns.
"This is the train that goes to Paris." they say. "You are on the wrong train."

Anything extra:

I am an avid RPer. If you apply for this, I expect you to be one as well.

Female (Or Male if you want to go that way...):
I should have never signed up for this teenage tour thing that my parents told me about. I thought as I packed my suitcase to return home. It had been a long two weeks traveling all over Europe with a bunch of teenagers who didn't care about the cities as much as I did. I could vouch that at least half of them have only signed up to experience the different parties that are thrown all over the world. Because of this, I didn't get along with anyone in the group. I actually volunteered to leave earlier than everyone else, claiming that I had a family emergency to attend to. It felt wrong for me to lie, but the other teenagers had been lying to the chaperones all this time. What could one lie really damage?
A headache pounded inside my head. Great, I thought to myself. Just what I need. It was a whirlwind morning: getting into a taxi, driving to the airport to only find that it was shut down due to employees protesting for higher pay. I had to catch another taxi to the nearest train section to travel to a different airport miles away. Being surrounded by languages I didn't know and having no one to comfort me with English was starting to take it's toll. The headache was threatening to turn into a migraine.
I can still remember seeing the options on which ticket I wanted. The booth that sold tickets was in French, Italian and German. They should have an English option, I grumbled inside my head. I pressed buttons, hoping for the best, and was relived when a ticket printed out of the machine. No matter what train I get onto, I can most likely find an airport in that area and just get a ticket to America from there. Thank goodness mom convinced me to take extra cash and my emergency credit card.
The train doors closed swiftly and even caught the end of my suitcase. It was embarrassing to wait until the doors opened again. All I wanted to do was sit in my chair and get home; but life had different plans for me. When I sat in my chair, my neighbor was extremely good looking and spoke English. When they asked where I was going, I explained my situation, hoping they'd be able to tell me where the airport would be. Imagine my surprise when they told me I was headed toward Paris. Instead of panicking, the person introduced themselves and told me they'd show me around Paris for a night and then take me to the airport. I was weary, since this was a stranger. But his eyes seemed comforting, and I couldn't ignore the way my heart pulled in his direction. I agreed, not knowing what the future--and this man--had in store for me.

Male (Or female if you want to go that way...):

The train station was packed with more people than usual. It was quite distressing because I wasn't used to it. I remember seeing a flustered beauty press buttons on the screen in an aggravated and distressed way; she had caught my attention and curiosity. I saw that she had printed a ticket for Paris--and place that I had traveled to twice before--and decided that I should take a last minute vacation there. My family wasn't expecting me back for another week, so I had time to spare. Out of pure luck, we were seated right next to each other on the train. When she had told me that she wasn't trying to go to Paris, but to America, I offered the best idea that I could come up with: go to Paris anyway. Why waste the money on such an expensive train ticket? I could show her around Paris and then take her to the nearest airport. I wanted good company, and she seemed to be the perfect one for the job. I was blown away by the fact that she accepted and was ready to start our adventure together.

~*~*~

So basically, two people meet on a train. One of them going to the wrong place, one of them convincing the other that it's the right way to go. They spend the day and night in Paris, only to be torn apart by a misunderstanding. This is meant to be a short, but romantic RP. Let us experience the City of Love together, oui?

Oh hullo there. c:

You don't know me and I don't know you. So hey, I'm Malea, but you can call me Lea or whatever you want. It really doesn't matter. c:

I thought I'd apply since I've been really dying for some role play to relax with given my ridiculous schedule. So, hey, thanks for being cool and looking at this. c:


Name:
"It says Jaapje Miller, middle name Karolina on my passport."
Jaapje is pronounced YAH-pee-yuh
Age (21-25):
-laughs- "I've experienced twenty-three years of life, if that answers your question."
Twenty-three
Gender:
"Weeeellllll, I was born female... and, I mean, I feel pretty female. So, I guess female?
Female
Appearance:

Sexual Orientation:
"Sorry to all the beautiful ladies out there, but I prefer men."
Heterosexual
Personality:
"I promise, I'm not usually this frazzled or cross. Usually, I have no problem being around or dealing with people. I'm not exactly a social butterfly, but I'm not so shy that it's crippling either. I've been told time and time again that I have an excellent head on my shoulders and that I'm very 'down-to-earth'. Which I guess is everyone's way of saying that I think things through way too much. I'll admit, I'm not spontaneous in the sense that I don't make decisions on the spot. I like to things through. But that certainly doesn't mean I don't have a sense of adventure. I've always had a bit of a curious brain and a willingness to try new things."
Jaapje is unfailingly polite, especially with her words. While she may not always like a person, she'll always come off as friendly and polite and helpful, though she won't go out of her way to interact with that person again. She's very tolerant of people and things, much like her Dutch mother. You could say she's a bit naive in that she believes everyone has good and honorable intentions unless proven otherwise. She's inclined to see the glass half full as opposed to half empty.
Bio:
"I don't have a very interesting story, I'm sorry. I was actually born in the Netherlands. My father was an international businessman and he met my mother while in the Netherlands. Their relationship was long distance for quite some time, but after almost two years they married. My mother had to prepare to leave the Netherlands, but I was born before she reached the U.S. to join my father. I've lived a very quiet, simple life. I've never asked for much and always wanted to do well at what I did. I'm afraid I can't offer you any horror stories."
The Miller family is very well off, and while Jaapje certainly took advantage of her family's wealth, she never flaunted it. She's only been to the Netherlands once before and so she was very eager to go on this trip her parents gave her as a gift for graduating college. She dated on and off throughout high school and college, and was engaged for a period of time. However, it's not a topic that she likes to bring up or discuss, and she's only slightly cynical about love and romance because of this instance.
Anything else you'd like to add?
"I'm fluent in dutch, I absolutely ADORE horseback riding, and Duke Ellington is probably my favorite artist of all time. I'm a cheap date, I think that Christmas trees are romantic, and I hate avocadoes with a passion. I'm an open book; all you have to do is ask."
Is this where I put that 'Eiffel Tower' bit?
Example of writing:

Spoiler:

Sure, why not? c:

I mean, most people I've role played with in the past have always sort of copped out before anything really smutty happened, so I can't say I've had a lot of experience with it. But I'm always open to it. c:

Addendum: I haven't had much experience with GOOD smut. I've been in situation where explicit scenes go on for freaking ever and by that time I'm done. But yes, I'm up to it.

Also, I love you, too. ;D

Right? I'm great at writng my own little erotic scenes, but haven't done it with others very successfully before :3

I would die without internet access. Starbucks wifi FTW! c:

But hopefully everything is okay now. And yes, I am still interested. c:

Name:
Drek Fernando Alteri
Age (21-25):
25
Gender:
Male
Appearance:

Sexual Orientation:
"This may disappoint some, but I happen to be as straight as a line can be."
Personality:
"You could always come closer to find out..."

Drek is somewhat of a frisky spirit. He likes to live in the now, and be in the know. He loves to travel and to embark on spontaneous adventures. "Take me as I am, or watch me go." is his favorite saying. He doesn't feel like he personally needs to prove anything to anyone. Drek has had a handful of small, random jobs that helps him get by on paying rent. To this day, he has not visited his home country and has lived in at least five different locations. His favorite place to be is Paris, France and he can easily picture himself there for the rest of his life.
Drek is also a well known charmer. He knows what ladies want to hear, and therefore he is liked by many. However, rumor has it that he has only been known to have one girlfriend in the past.

Bio:

"That's for me to know and you to not find out. Don't take it personal."

It is known that Drek grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Ireland. He left his house as soon as he finished University. Other than that, not much is known.

Anything else you'd like to add?

"That's all, sweetheart."

Spoiler:

Yeeeeeee! Really excited for this. c:

Wheeeeeee

So, in terms of starting it, should they have already met on the train? Or should we start from the very beginning?

Okeee. I'll start on something then. c:
Don't know if I'll be able to get to it tonight since I have to be up early tomorrow. But I'll attempt it. (:

YES! I'm working on a first post now. c:
