Replying too late, but I'm sorry to say that I don't have any songs for Kaia. It's a real shame.

Spoiler! :
EDIT: But after re-listening to this, I thought the song could fit the story.

*proceeds to try to find Kaia songs*

EDIT 2: This one, I think, characterizes Kaia's relationship with her parents, or her memory of them, what they wanted for her, etc. Aww, now my heart's cracking a little.

I'm posting tonighttttt!!!!

I'm loving all the music! Kaia's songs are so pretty and James' song is coooool woahh :0 also I think Billie works really well for Rose!!

Brett is based off of a real person: my uncle Brett, who died in a car crash at a young age before I was born. I know he sang this song to my mom a lot because her nickname is "E.O." and they sing "eee-oh eee-oh..." at the end. Whenever it comes on the radio, my mom and I know that he's watching over us!

Spoiler! :

Other things about the real Brett: he was also a huge prankster, as my mom has told me! Even after his death. We traveled up to see his grave a few years ago. His gravestone is flat on the ground, not upright, and it was completely blemish-free, yet right as we were standing there next to it, bird poop fell from the sky and smacked onto the grave, completely covering where the date of his death was etched.

Aren't you guys excited for the fact that in just two posts, it's time for me to write again and once more take forever? xD

Your post is so good @Wolfical !!
Their James. In a hat. Then he saw Adina too.

“My gosh,” Rose said, noticing them at the same time. “He really is a cowboy.”


xD yes I'm glad the cowboy hat made its reappearance haha. Matt seems like a really neat dude! I'm curious what else can happen with Matt and Brett now that the twins are back together.

Wolfical!!!! OMG YOUR POST was so good and it made my heart soft... wow Brett and Matt feelings.... :,) I cry!!! Matt is so sweet... and lol I loved his impressions of everyone in the group.

Also I love that Matt has a cat too and that Ari gave Matt a fish for him?? That was adorable and VERY MUcH AND ARI THING TO DO,,, precious babies

Also the subtle comedy of the cat eating while Brett apologized for rigging the skiff was not lost on me. I very much enjoyed that little detail LOL

Spoiler! :
Also since I'm a sucker for anything involving my own characters this:
“There’s one more,” Brett prompted.

Matt nodded. “Yeah, the cowboy. He was polite and all, but I get the feeling that he doesn’t trust me, and I guess I don’t blame him. Kaia’s hard to read, but that guy’s impassable as rock. Him I can see in the Outlands. It seems like he’s been through a lot. Regardless, he's experienced and probably makes a good leader.”

Just made me happy ,,, ,because it just ,, ,, is very good assessment MAtt,, bless this sailor man


I'm so happy.

That leaves the next post for uh!! *checks smudged writing on hand* @sherlockhson with the help of @Lael writing as Kaia!

The desc for the post is here for help/easy access:
10. The rest of the group settles at their camp and sleeps. Rose still feels awkward and ashamed and like she doesn't belong in the group after what she did. The night before they travel out of town, Rose takes first watch again and can't sleep. Kaia is up and they talk. Some kind of heart-to-heart by the waves, relating maybe about their similar pasts and how they were orphaned by bad leaders. @sherlockhson and @Lael

If you guys need any help or have any questions, as always, feel free to poke me B)

I'm afraid that it's not a great time for me to be working on a post, but if you want to go ahead and start, @sherlockhson, don't let me hold you back! I will definitely be available in a few weeks after I'm done with my exams.
