I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and examined my attire.  Nothing fancy, nothing spectacular just boring old me.  I wore jeans and a T-shirt my hair pulled back in a bun and a cap planted firmly on top of my head, the way it was practically every other day.  I examined my rather large collection of necklaces, earrings, scarves and shoes but decided that today was not the day to be flashy.

I took a deep breath, steeling myself against the depression welling up within me.  Today was going to be a happy day I could just feel it.  That's why I had moved to this place, it was a fresh start, worlds away from the place I had grown up.  No one knew me here, no one knew what I'd been through, who I was or what I'd done.  The past no longer mattered, it was a fresh start.

A bottle of anti-depressant pills sat on the counter and I pick them up.  My doctor told me I needed to take two a day until I had stabilized again.  I looked at my reflection again and despite the lack of make-up and decoration I actually liked the way I looked, something that hadn't happened in weeks.

I smile and place the pills back on the counter.  Who needs pills?  I sure don't want to be drugged up when I meet my new neighbors for the first time.  "I want them to see the real and true me."  I said to myself, "Today is going to be a happy day, good things are going to happen."

Author guidance for This exercise

No Vampires!

Seriously I mean it.

Now that that's cleared up:

I want to focus mainly on the characters relationships with each other, building them/destroying them etc, aswell as their emotions towards aspects of their lives.

We all live in the same neighbourhood however some characters may not have ever interacted before now.

Those are my main guidelines for now, and for anyone wanting to join the story post your character bio and I'll add you in.

The first page is a list of characters, make sure you refer to it if you get stuck.

Other than that, lets have some fun without those pesky vamps ruining it for us :D
