the street urchin and the estranged uncle ♂♀
In and out of trouble with the law, disrespectful of her parents, and a frequent no-show at school, the street urchin is impossible to live with. Fed up, her parents turn to a long-estranged uncle whose life has always been shrouded in mystery. He's known as the no-nonsense type and is usually left alone by most at the family reunions. Stranger still is that no one in the family can claim direct relation to him. Tired of dealing with their daughter and wanting to enjoy an early retirement, they ship her off to the mountains of Europe without so much as a goodbye. Having always been intrigued by her uncle, the street urchin doesn't resist as much as she would have if they'd shipped her off to her grandparents. Once there, her uncle, far from the stick-in-the-mud he's been made out to be, initiates her into a world of dark desire, vice, and blood. [Will have a vampiric twist. I would prefer to play the street urchin.]

the queen and the pet ♂♀
She has been asleep for centuries, waking only when it is absolutely necessary. He has been surviving off small quantities of her blood, gifted with immortality through the crimson elixir and charged with taking care of all her affairs. When it looks like a blood war is inevitable, the pet wakes his mistress and has to bring her up to speed. It's no easy feat considering she's been asleep since since 1890. [I would prefer to play the queen.]

the traveler and the book clerk ♂♀
A few days before Christmas in Belfast, a woman wakes with no memory of who she is. The only clue to what happened were the crime scene reports and the smashed bullet the doctors pulled out of her head. With only a knapsack and £50, she heads south, ending up in The Black Valley, a remote area of Ireland. Alone, panicked, and only wanting to get away from the large crowds she encountered in Dublin, she does the only thing she can to calm herself; she wanders into the local bookshop and loses herself in the covers. The mystery woman catches the eye of the store owner and after striking up a conversation, he sets out on a quest to try and help her find herself, even if it means giving her up in the process. [Shauna's journal is HERE.]

the doctor and the patient ♂♀
She's brash, jaded, and ready to check out. He's bright, happy, and ready to save the world. Convincing her to have cancer treatment however, might just be the toughest gig of his life, even if he is her doctor. Money's no longer an issue (even if she still doesn't have any), so only her own will to live will get in the way of her getting better. The task is monumental, but he graduated top of his class, how hard could it be? [Leila's journal is HERE.]

the baker and the cook ♂♀
They survived culinary school together. They saw each other through breakups, and funerals, weddings, and graduations. They know each other inside and out. Or do they? Friends since their first day at the Cordon Bleu, they've worked side by side for years, with the shared dream of opening their own catering company. Despite her marriage and his relationship, there's always been a little something there, though both of them are too scared to admit it. Things aren't always what they seem however, and when their personal lives start to unravel, who else do they have, but each other? [I can play either one.]
