PLEASE NOTE: Anyone who still has some plot things that they need to RP before this thread can do so in the old one, but don't forget to post here as well! And try not to confuse the threads when posting.
The sun is low in the sky, rising over the Junkyard a week before the Jellicle Ball. There is tension in the air, but there is still peace in the yard. How long can it last?
SOMMER
Why? In the morning of all times to wake up thinking about the impending Ball. Not that it was anything special to Sommer, not particularily anyways. Sure, it was time to get together and just have fun, but seriously, there was just so much going on that the peachy-colored princess wanted to hold her ears and scream until it all just stopped.
But then others would wonder... Sighing, Sommer sat up in her bed and rubbed her brown paws over her eyes. She wasn't even sixteen yet and she was thinking crazy. What she needed was a good night's sleep and maybe some facial expression practice in the mirror. That always cheered her up.
"Might as well go see if anyone else is awake at this Heavyside forsaken hour." She mumbled, hoping not to wake up Etcetera. Wandering outside, Sommer stretched, rubbing her arms against the morning chill that hadn't been warmed by the sun yet.
{{I uhm... don't think any of my other characters would be awake yet, but I will bring them in. Anyone who would be awake (like patrols or something) feel free to join in. Anyone who might be up at like... 7am.}}

ALONZO
Alonzo, who was placed silent and still on the big tire in the main clearing, scanned the deserted yard for what seemed like the millionth time. He was on edge, and every muscle in his body was quite tense. He couldn't explain what, but something was upsetting him. Something seemed wrong.
Again his blue eyes looked around at every corner, only this time they began to water a bit. His head plunked down towards his chest and he brought his paws up to rub them. How early was it? How long had he been awake? He sighed and kept his head down, his eyes closed to give them a rest. He needed sleep, but his mind wouldn't shut off long enough for him to obtain it.

ADMETUS
The tom walked into the junkyard, back from an early morning patrol. Tired and sore, Admetus made his way over to old tire, where he stretched out his hind legs, his tail the only give away to the pain it caused him. I'm getting to old for this He thought to himself and flopped down on the ground. Yawning he started to clean the dirt of his front legs, his toung darting back and forth from his mouth, occasonally stopping to tackle a knot.
Looking around the brown tom saw Lonzo sitting above him on the tire. Though the cats eyes where closed, Admetus still thought he should make his presence known. "Hello Alonzo." he said quietly, breaking the silence of the morning. The air was so still you could hear a single rain drop fall in the distance.

Teodors:
Teo's paws twitched, and haunted moans whispered came from his mouth, while he lay in bed. He had been tossing and turning during the night, as his blankets were off of his body and carelessly askew on the floor. It was evident the tom was having some sort of bad dream or nightmare. And finally, Teo bolted into a sitting position on top of his bed. Breathing heavily, he cursed under his breath. He sat still until he got control over his breathing.
((I shall post more later. Was so behind on homework this week, and still am. Really shouldn't be posting right now. XD))

AVISAE
Avi sat in the entrance of her den, her head resting on the frame of the door. She had been there a good while - her legs drawn up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. It was the perfect time to think, there were only a few Jellicles out and about at the point in the morning and the ones who were didn’t seem to be paying much attention to her. She didn’t really care. She just needed some time to think. It had been one week since Azrael had asked her to go to the ball with him. One week since he had surprised her with that sudden invitation. And she had accepted. She hadn’t really told anyone about it yet. Avisae had drawn into herself a little over the past week. She really wasn’t sure whether she’d made the right decision. She’d never had a date to the ball before. She didn’t know whether she should start now. It had been such a spur of the moment decision…Also, would it prevent her from…yes, okay, meddling with her friends and their dates? Oh, for God’s sake, Avi! She scolded herself. It’s just a date. It won’t completely turn the world upside down. She really didn’t know why she was worrying so much.
GEORGE
Most unfortunately, George had gotten into the habit of waking up early over the last few days when he had to get up and go on patrol. Though he wasn't on duty that morning and didn't need to get up, his body had still kept the pattern and he had awoken much earlier than he would have liked. "Bloody force of habit," he muttered to himself as he lay in bed. He'd been there a little while, hoping he would drift back into a nice, peaceful sleep...but no such luck. After a while, his eyes started to droop and he began to doze off. Right as George was on the border of sleep, he heard Teodors jerk awake and sit up. The crystal mists of slumber scattered and George turned over to look at the young tom. He propped himself up on his elbows. "Anything wrong?" He asked, a little sleepily.

SOMMER
Rubbing her arms briskly in a meager effort to keep herself warm, Sommer wandered the Junkyard, looking for someone to talk to or to laugh with. Maybe Cupio was awake... Shaking her head, the peachy princess moved away from where the exotic inventor lived. She didn't want male company right now. She needed another female. Her age, not like Etcetera or Mum.
"Morning Avisae." Sommer chirped, with a little less enthusiasm than was her norm. Her blue eyes weren't quite lighting up the way they should, and her smile wasn't quite as bright. But she felt cold and shivered as she wandered towards the striped queen.
"You look to be in some sort of deep thought... Anything in particular?" Conversation. Sommer needed conversation.

Teodors:
The frazzled tom let out an aggravated sigh, his paw shaking slightly. Nightmares. Why was his nights always plagued by them? A sleepy voice off to the side made him jump; which he instantly scolded himself for. Taking a moment, he tried to collect himself. George was probably still too groggy to really notice there was something off about Teo. Finally he gave his second 'dad' a half curved up smirk. Cheekily he shook his head. "Nothing at all. I'm fine." A lie, but only a little white lie.

(Cupio)
As the brown tux continued to stroll through the junkyard, Cupio’s eyes caught sight of his father as he began past the tire. It had been a while since he had really taken the time out to speak to his dad, and now seemed as good of a time as any. Shifting the bag on his shoulders, Cupio stepped towards the tire and plopped down beside Alonzo. A grin spread across his face and the inventor lightly punched his father’s shoulder in greeting.
“Mornin’ dad. Did you take the all night shift last night?” He asked, tilting his head as he observed the tired look plastered to Alonzo’s face. “You should have let Hal or somebody do it instead. You forget that most of us are practically nocturnal as it is!” Cupio chuckled slightly and slipped the backpack off of his shoulders; rotating them once free of the sack.

CHARLOTTE
It would be a cold day in hell when Lotte woke up at 7 in the morning. But it had happened. And she was not pleased. Last night had not been a good night for her. No matter what she tried, she just could not sleep, and when she did happen to slip into dreams, they were haunted and dark. She could not get the image of that tom out of her mind; his ghostly white face, his eyes like moonlight, seemed to follow her whenever she closed her eyes. In flashes of dream, he smiled at her, and she wanted more. But he wasn't real - or that's what she'd been telling herself. There's no such tom, and when you met him on the docks, that didn't happen. But Cassius knew better.
Cassius.
She had to see him today. She wasn't going to tell him why, she just had to. Would he even be awake at this hour? Screw it. Lotte would go to the Yard anyway and wait around until he was. As long as she wasn't alone with this. Of course, she could have just woken her mother, but this was the kind of thing she just couldn't share with Cassie, for fear of worrying her too much. It wasn't something she liked to talk about to begin with, but at least Cassius had been there. At least, he would have, if it had really happened.
She padded into the Yard, sleep still in her eyes, trying to ward off the chill of the morning with her arms wrapped tightly around herself. She kept close to the perimeter - warmer that way - and scanned the waking Jellicles for company. Oh, Cupio was there, but he was busy with his dad. And Avisae, who she had reluctantly come to be on speaking terms with... but it pretty much ended there. Sommer was simply too young to be good company, and Lotte wasn't very comfortable with anyone's parents but her own. She pouted, and curled up in an empty crate, waiting for someone to come by.
(I know she isn't the brightest ray of sunshine, but maybe she can illuminate someone for now...)

CASSIUS
Bah, beauty sleepy! Cassius needed none of it. After all, could the tribe really stand him becoming even more beautiful? He smoothed down his fur before stepping out of his small den. The sheer brightness of the morning sun stung his eyes. THIS was why he didn't get up this early in the morning on a usual basis.
Walking out into the yard, he noticed a few cats standing around and chatting, but for the most part, the yard was pretty empty. Well, who was he supposed to impress now?
With luck, he spotted a familiar tail sticking out of a nearby crate. He couldn't have asked for a better cat to run into in the morning! If she were asleep... well, why would she be? She lived outside of the Junkyard.
"Morning, Charlie," Cassius said, sticking his head into the crate and grinning. "You're up early, aren't you, princess?"
[[anyone willing to have any interaction with Zephonie?]]

((I definitely would!!))
Valentine Val managed not to roll off his bed or out of his den for once but never the less he was up. He shook his head to wake him self up. He brushed his hair knowing it was pointless. His hair had a mind of its own sometimes. He smoothed down his hatched fur and his tail. He then yawned and stretched. He was glad he wasn't as tall as Tugger or he wouldn't fit in his crate. He pushed back the door and went outside growling at the sun as he did. He saw a few cats were up. He waved to Alonzo and Admetus. He saw Avaise and Sommer. And he saw Lottie in a crate by herself. That was odd but then again she had always been a little odd. He was about to go to her but saw that Cassius was already there. Not wanting to interfere and also not having anything else to do, he climbed up on the pipe near the tire. None of his siblings or Amarantha was up. He needed to ask her today before another tom got her.
((i'll bring Zona, Kiy, Xottie and Teazer in later))

[[hope it's okay if she joins Val for now! <333]]
ZEPHONIE
Why Zephonie was waking up in a pipe rather than in her crate, she had no idea, but the sun burned through her eyelids and forced her awake. It was unusual for her to fall asleep in a place that wasn't her den, of course... But then she remembered. The stars the night before had been particularly lovely, and she'd sat for a long time talking with her mother, long after most other cats had gone to sleep. When Bombalurina finally came to get Demeter to go to bed, Zephonie had stayed out, half-laying outside the pipe, looking up at them. She must have moved into the pipe proper after she'd fallen asleep.
A soft thud rung above her, and she curiously stuck her head out and pulled herself up to look over the rim. Above her sat Valentine, and a smile crossed her face once she saw them. "Oh, good morning," she said, softly. Valentine had always been very nice to her. She pulled herself completely out of the pipe and looked up at him. "You're up early, aren't you?"

ADRIEL
Yawning widely and smacking his lips together, Adriel ruffled the back of his neck and looked around in a half-sleepy daze. Blinking his eyes against the sting of the chilly morning air and the new morning sun, he turned and took a few steps; nearly running into Cupio.
"Whoa. Uhm, whoops. Haha." Grinning a little bit sleepily, he looked at the other tom through bleary eyes. "Sorry about that. Howzit going?"

CHARLOTTE
"Aah!" she squealed, startled by his sudden appearance. She jumped back, and realized too late that the crate was not exactly steady on the pile, and tried to rebalance herself with a little dance before she fell. It didn't work out too well. Her forward half dipped a little too far, and though the crate was plenty stable, she tumbled face to wide-eyed-face with the black-and-white tom, giggling nervously, dark lashes fluttering as she regained her bearings. "Cassius..!"
Ooh, she should have known he'd do something like that. He was so like that. Not that she minded, of course; he kept her on her toes, forced her to look good at all times in case he popped up with something smart to say, leaving her with no response but a smile and a bat of her eyelashes - just like now. And then when he called her 'princess,' all she knew how to do was blush. Lotte swatted at him playfully, giving him that 'look.'
"I don't think either one of us is meant to be awake at this hour. But then again, maybe we are," Lotte purred, and gave a little shrug. "Couldn't sleep, so I came looking for you...Why are you up?"

AVISAE
Avi started at Sommer's voice. Her eyes had glazed over and she had been watching the yard without really seeing it, so she hadn't noticed the peach colored queen approach. "Oh," she said, sighing a little, "good morning, Sommer."
She gave a shrug, not noticing the other queen's slight lack of typical enthusiasm. "Oh, not really, nothing terribly important. Just musing over things." Avisae smiled. "I guess I'm not really awake. What are you doing up so early?" she asked, not really knowing what time it was.
[I'll add George in later, x2]
