Lilly was lying in her bed. She had been awake for quite some time, in fact, she'd barely slept at all but she was used to it, she rarely had a 'decent night's sleep' and usually only got an hour or two but most of the time it hardly seemed to affect her during the day. Lilly sat up and peeked through the curtains beside the bed. The sky was still rather dark but it was much lighter than it had been when she last checked. Lilly silently crept out of her bed, despite the fact that she hardly needed to be quiet due to Daniel, with whom she shared a room, being deaf she still was, besides, if she's too loud she could wake someone else in the house up plus, most of the time she kinda forgot that her brother and mother were deaf, speaking with them came as naturally to her as speaking with anyone else did. Lilly lifted her pillow to expose a small collection of notebooks, each of which had an intricate hand-drawn design on its cover which had all been drawn by Lilly. Lilly picked up one of the notebooks before replacing the pillow. She silently crossed to room sitting down on the beanbag that was positioned beside the door. She winced as the beanbag rustled in response to her sitting on it. Due to how quiet the rest of the house was, the usual soft rustling of the beanbag was deafening to Lilly. She froze but, not hearing any movement, she carefully curled up, allowing herself to sink into the beanbag which was rustling much more quietly now. She opened the notebook in her hands and started to write in it. The front of the books cover had the number 11 drawn on it, numerous lines emerged from the number and embraced the book, the lines continued round the book to the back cover where they all fed into a picture of what appeared to be an anime-styled eye.

After a short while writing in the book, Lilly stood up careful to not make too much noise. She tucked the book back under her pillow along with her pencil. She crawled onto her bed to once again peer through the curtains. It was quite light outside now and wouldn't be long until the sun would start to peek out from beyond the horizon. Lilly once again slipped off her bunk. Lilly changed out of her pyjamas and into some casual clothes which consisted of a baby blue vest, a black jacket and a pair of jeans. She then retrieved her iPod from it's charging dock as well as the small, battery-powered speaker she had for it. She crept out of the room she shared with Dan, along the hallway and down the stairs, wincing slightly as one of the stairs groaned softly as she stepped on it. Lilly continued through the house and to the back door, she slipped on her trainers and quietly made her way into the garden. Once outside she walked to the furthest end of the garden, where she placed her iPod on its speaker and placed the speaker on the floor. She then turned the iPod on and started to play some music. She had done this many times before so she knew how loud she could push her iPod before it could be heard inside. Once the iPod was at the right volume, she turned around and took a deep breath...

((This is the design that the cover of the notebook was inspired by, just to give everyone a better idea of how it looked:
The cover of the notebook was all done in pencil though.

And this is Lilly's iPod + its speaker:

Oh and, LET THE RP COMMENCE!))

Veronica unlocked the front door, and stepped into her house with a sigh. Last night was babysitting one of her frequent customers, and just decided to crash because they had gotten back around 3 am. It was an ordeal cause the kid was sick, and she wasn't really well equipped to deal with a sick child. But, who could argue with 120 bucks?

Silently she entered her shared room, careful not to make much voice as she stashed her cash, and got a change of clothes before heading off to the bathroom for a quick morning shower. It was 6:15 when she hoped out and changed, before she quickly snuck into the kitchen in search of breakfast.

Anthony was not a morning person at all, After the show he played last night. He was really beat, It didn't help that he was also a night owl. He completely forgot what day it was. He grabbed onto the handles of his chair to help himself up. He was dressed in what he had on last night. A Ramones T-shirt, Gray Jeans & classic All-star converse sneakers. He picked up each leg one at a time & moved them over to the side of the bed. Turning his chair over at an angle towards him, he lifted himself up using the chair & slid himself onto the seat. He switched out the Ramones shirt for a Radiohead shirt and wheeled himself out the room into the kitchen. "Morning All." he said groggily. He already took a shower when he got home, So he was fine.

Anthony still half-awake, heard a familiar voice welcome him into the kitchen as he entered. It was his twin sister Veronica. He was rubbing one of his eyes with one open. His mind was still reeling from last night. Nonchalantly, he accepted Veronica's offer for some juice without fully grasping it. "Huh? Oh yeah...sure." He said tiredly as he yawned & wheeled up to the table.

Lilly yelped as an explosion erupted behind her, she was caught in the blast and sent tumbling down the side of the snowy mountain that she had, until moments ago, been standing on top of. When she eventually stopped falling, Lilly lay unmoving on the ground for a moment, a pained groan escaping from her lips. She slowly managed to pick herself up off the ground, she half-heartedly tried to brush clumps of snow from her clothes before turning to look up the side of the mountain that she'd just fallen down. There was a large group of people charging down the mountainside towards her, a detail that took her a moment to notice but the moment she did, she spun around and sprinted away from them as fast as she could. Lilly glanced behind herself before suddenly stopping dead. The people who were chasing her were still a fair distance behind her but many of them seemed to be carrying bows, something that was made evident by the volley of arrows that was moments away from landing right on top of her. Without hesitation, Lilly stretched her arms out in front of her which caused a shockwave to soar into the sky. Upon intercepting the shockwave, the arrows shattered into millions of tiny wooden splinters. Lilly lowered her arms and continued to run. She made her way towards a nearby forest, darting through the trees, ducking under branches and leaping over roots. Eventually, Lilly slowed down, stopping to catch her breath. She glanced through the trees behind her, there wasn't any sign of anyone. Maybe she'd lost them. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief she heard a twig snap nearby. She turned as quickly as humanly possible to look in the direction of the sound, as she did, she saw a figure dressed in dark clothes approach her. "You're good." He said, acting impressed. "But did you really think you were good enough?" He asked rhetorically with an evil grin plastered on his face. He drew a sword that was sheathed at his waist and charged towards Lilly without warning. Lilly raised her hand into the sky before quickly moving it in front of her. The man's sword was stopped by one Lilly now had in her hand, unlike a normal sword, Lilly's didn't appear to be made of metal, instead, Lilly sword was purple in colour and appeared to be slightly transparent. The man growled in frustration and shoved into Lilly, causing her to fall onto the floor.

Lilly fell backwards onto the floor, the stick she was holding in her hand rolled across the grass, landing a few feet away from her. She crawled over to where her stick had landed and picked it up before leaping onto her feet. Her eyes seemed to be fixated on something in front of her though there was nothing there. She danced around the garden, wildly waving her stick around as she did. She remained completely oblivious to what was going on inside.

Anthony, now fully awake, saw Riley go outside to fetch Lilly. lifted the cup up to his lips & began to drink some of the juice, He placed the cup back down on the table. He thanked his sister kindly "Thanks, Veronica...Man, even when you get home. you have to babysit. only it's food." Anthony said with a laugh following it. Anthony enjoyed cracking jokes, It usually gave him a sense of normalcy.

Riley smiled at Lilly as she came back towards the house. Lilly was quite young for a ten year old, usually little girls her age had developed an attitude problem. Riley did when she was ten. She thought she was simply the best actress in the face of the earth. Now she thought she was one of the worst. Funny how age makes you more insecure and not less. “Good morning, Lilly.” Riley said softly as she opened the door for Lilly. “You’re up early today. Did you sleep okay?”

Lewis had been awake for a short time, having heard some movement about the house. He'd remained in bed with his eyes tightly closed as he willed himself to return to his much-needed slumber. If there was one thing he enjoyed most about Sundays, it was the extra sleep. He worked long shifts throughout the week, with early starts to add to it. It always surprised him how much energy some of the kids had so early in the morning. He remembered entering his teenage years and having to be dragged out of bed before noon approached. Right now, he was far too comfortable to get out of bed, at least without encouragement to do so. He was sure the kids were smart enough to avoid burning the house down in his absence.

Turning his head to the side, he opened his eyes to see if Julia was awake yet. The answer to that might be a deciding factor in whether he just closed his eyes again and prayed for at least another hour's rest. Work had been full on the last few days and he was willing to allow himself to be at least a little lazy today, despite is usual insistence on not wasting time and taking the world for all it had to offer. He shuffled closer to his wife and opened his mouth widely for a powerful yawn.

Riley Blue shrugged at Lilly’s question. "Same as always, I suppose." Riley Blue replied. She lead her little sister to the kitchen and took over breakfast once more. "Thanks, Veronica, I got it," Riley mumbled as she took up the spatula and finished off another set of pancakes. She gave the set that just came off the pan to Lilly and then grabbed the first plate she made. "I'm gonna wake up Dan. Lil, why don't you get some orange juice and settle down at the table?" Riley said as she made a glass of cold water to dump on Dan's face if the smell of pancakes and bacon failed to wake him.

Riley Blue then went upstairs to Dan's room. Usually, Dan was the first awake. Him sleeping in was rather unusual. Riley entered Dan's room quietly. "Hey Daniel? Breakfast is ready." Riley Blue called lightly, approaching the bed.

Anthony chuckled along with Veronica & quickly covered his mouth with his hand when she told him to shush, acting like he said something incredibly offensive. He finished the remainder of his orange juice & moved the cup aside, Anthony thought about Veronica's question about which game she should play for her stream. "Hmmm.....Grand Theft Auto 5. that is, if you can get away with it without Dad knowing." Anthony stated. Their dad, even though he was pretty chill about alot of things, He didn't really like Anthony or any of the other kids spending excessive amounts of time playing video games. Anthony saw where he was coming from. Gaming Addiction is a problem, after all.

Riley Blue smiled at Dan's lethargy and set the pancakes down on the floor. "Good morning," Riley Blue signed at her brother. "I'll keep your food downstairs, you can come down to eat." She gave him a smile before picking the plate up and going back downstairs. She set the plate on the table before looking over at her older two siblings. They were talking about Veronica's Twitch stream and Riley couldn't help but sigh. "Dad won't be happy." Riley interjected as she washed her hands in the sink. "You know how he feels about video games, especially violent ones like GTA."

Feeling Julia's nudge, Lewis looked to his wife and smiled as she waved to him with more energy than he felt he had in that moment. "Good morning, love," he said, making sure the words could be easily read from his lips. He forced himself to sit upright in bed but was still having to make himself to come to terms with it being morning already. It was a shame the kids hadn't wanted a sleep-in as he could have easily closed is eyes and gone in for more sleep.

"What do we have planned for today?" he asked Julia, signing with his hands as he spoke. He was often full of ideas, but today he felt like going with the flow. As long as that flow didn't involve sitting in front of a television screen all day. "Work must have been busier than I realised this week. I'm whacked," he admitted, with a small chuckle. He wasn't used to feeling so lethargic, but he knew once he mustered up the energy to get out of bed there'd be no stopping him. But still, only just past 6am... on a Sunday... even he was shocked by the eagerness of the kids.
