The Chasey Family:Flint Chasey is the youngest of six kids in the Chasey family. Here is a little bit about each of his family members!Mr. Cyrus Bellmont Chasey and Mrs. Amber Lazuli Du Monte Chasey:Cyrus Chasey is the son of the renowned Fillmore Chasey… and he probably stopped mentally developing at the age of 18. But then again, he managed to get with Amber Du Monte, so clearly some sort of neurons had to fire in his brain, right?All jokes aside, Cyrus learned early on to never do anything halfway. He's grandiose in character- not only wanting to see things through, but also to see things to the absolute max. You'd think that when he became a business major in college, he would push his academics to the limit to be the best he could, right? Wrong. Business classwork was easy to him- most of his dad's lessons in how to run a business stuck. He already felt like he was always ready to be the next Mr. Chasey. So, he found other ways of making the most of his time; Cyrus was out on the town nearly every night. The parties he could remember were not nearly as awesome as the parties he couldn't recall.At some point, however, Cyrus noticed something. His mother had already passed, and his father was getting older. Deep down, Cyrus knew he was missing something. So, he filled it by finding his other half- Amber De Monte (you can read about the proposal under the word "halfway" in Flint's section). Even though Cyrus did do well in all the classes, Amber actually studied business. She became the one to handle what would've been the more respected side of Fillmore Chasey- or at least, her perception of that side of Fillmore.Amber wanted everything to be perfect, even if her hands were off the table. If something couldn't function without her being there, then it wasn't working hard enough. Besides, she had a jewelry empire of her own- she couldn't afford to divide all of her time to everything that happened in the Chasey businesses. So, she chose to hire executives and COOs she trusted to do most of the heavy lifting.Cyrus, as his father aged, became an even stronger idea of that- never do anything halfway. He had a couple of kids by now, but they weren't as… grand as he had hoped. They had promising futures- Dustin developed Cyrus' own powers (he would make a fantastic rockball quarterback) and Selenite had Amber's powers (she could inherit her mother's business quite well). However, Micah didn't have strong powers at all (Cyrus might just have to make Micah smart rather than strong, which isn't entirely what he had in mind). None of Cyrus' kids were even a little bit stronger than him and his wife. How can a family thrive when there isn't a strong rock alter to lead it?Fillmore, in his last few years on earth, was noticing how Cyrus viewed the life set out in front of him. He knew that if Cyrus raised his kids the way Cyrus wanted to, none of them would be able to be the head of the family. So, he pulled his son off to the side and told him that Cyrus needed to raise a true heir to the family.Cyrus couldn't agree more.Selenite Maria Chasey (22 years old):Selenite is the eldest of the Chasey children. She has her mother’s powers- great for continuing Amber’s jewelry business. She’s uptight and in charge (which can make her come across as a bit of a buzz kill to the wild side of the family). Her siblings constantly “borrowed” her jewelry for one reason or another, which taught her to be fresh and creative with each new jewelry piece she made. In fact, her first piece was a gold necklace with an oval topaz embedded in a golden frame- a necklace Flint took and now wears proudly to this day.Dustin Jasper Chasey (21 years old):Dustin (Dusty to those close to him) proudly wears the number 89 on the Stone Stallion rockball team. With Cyrus’ rock strength, Dustin took the athletic career path and was a quarterback in junior high, high school, AND college. His siblings like to joke that Dusty got so good at throwing rocks because he'd throw Micah a lot whenever they were little. Micah does not find this story amusing.While he might not be a starter for the Stallions yet, everyone believes that his career prospects are bright.Micah Beryl Chasey (20 years old):Micah's powers are… unimportant, to say the least. He can pick up any rock and be able to identify it perfectly. Well, at least geologists would find Micah valuable. In the line of the Chasey's, however… not so much. Micah chose to dedicate himself to the pursuit of knowledge. He's already gotten his undergraduate, and he is now working on his PhD in geology. Colleges were fighting over having Micah at their school- not just because of his GPA but also for that sweet Chasey funding.Alexandrite Coral Chasey (19 years old):Born slightly before her twin sister, Alexandrite (Alex for short) is a natural sculptor. She has a hypersensitive touch for rock, allowing her to feel every minute crack, change in angle, and material in what she touches. Alex says that whenever she picks up a piece of stone to carve or clay to mold, she feels exactly what she wants the art to be. She works long and hard on each art piece, and her attention to detail has given her work huge praise. Alex is featured in art museums around the world, and she's in the development stage of creating a museum of her own.Opal Maisie Chasey (19 years old):Opal is the twin to Alex, and she was born with the most unusual power in the family- the ability to transform her skin into any rock or gem material she touches. While practically speaking her powers don't do much, Opal has found a great career in modeling. Designers love the fact that Opal's skin can change to suit any outfit perfectly and will have her hold specific rocks and gems while on the runway.More About Flint Chasey (Because Who Wouldn’t Want to Know More)?After he was born, as soon as Flint knew how to grab something, he was able to lift up rocks that were his size with ease. Amber and Cyrus couldn’t believe it- Flint was nothing short of unimaginable power compacted into one vessel.Amber saw Flint’s powers and believed that, if he could control abilities of that magnitude, he would also have the mental fortitude necessary to handle the entire family empire. He would be collected and pristine like her, able to be the boss this family needed.Cyrus, on the other hand, saw nothing but unlimited potential in his son- how far could the powers go? And, better yet, how awesome will it be to see how impressed the world will be? People would see Flint and see Fillmore. No, not just see Fillmore. They would see Flint Chasey- the successor to Fillmore the world was waiting for. He would be a dazzling display of power and influence, and he would have the abilities to back it up!Flint Chasey could not feel any better about himself even if he tried. He is on top of the world. He has a family empire he is going to inherit. He has thousands of adoring fans. His relationships with his siblings are… okay, but at least his parents love him so much. Life is perfect, because he is perfect.Flint's life is one that's always on the move. He flies in and out of the mansion on nearly a weekly basis, and he's gotten used to his tutor handing him stacks of homework before he dashes out the door, learning how to do work in various moving vehicles. Flint has begun to regard as his house as just as much of a temporary stay as he would for a hotel due to how often he's just going in and out. Sometimes, the mansion doesn't even feel like home due to how often he comes home to some crazy party his dad wanted to throw for work colleagues, college friends, or just whatever rich guy was in town that day.Everywhere Flint goes, people want to see him do something cool with his powers. Usually, picking up the nearest rock and lifting up dozens of various stones around him does the trick. Sometimes, if he's feeling humorous, he'll casually hand the nearest person his staff and watch as they drop it due to how heavy it is. He'll swoop down and catch it with a grin before it hits the ground, of course. Some days, he'll show a bit of the routine he has prepared for a gala. It really just depends on what Flint thinks the crowd is in the mood for. Flint's always performing for someone.Flint has no known allergies and has never been sick. If it weren’t for routine checkups, Flint would’ve never had to step into a doctor’s office… other than for one, tiny thing. Flint Chasey is incredibly nearsighted. He’s very sensitive about this fact, so he exclusively only wears contacts and takes them on and off alone.

Hi! I'm Holly!What's going to be in this? Who knows! This is a stream of conci consious thought. No mistakes or hesitations! No reading over my work! This is the work of greatness!But what I do know is that you're gonna get the UNFILTERED, UNHINGED, and UNCENSORED OPINION of HOLLY MADISON BROOKS!… I have just been informed by Oliver I'm not allowed to swear. D*rn.Speaking of Oliver, let's start with him. He's my big brother. He's a bit overbearing. I mean, it took him a long time for him to be impressed by me taming Coco the racoon- he kept going on about rabies, diseases, and danger, but I covered myself in dirt to blend in with the ground! And I wore a helmet! And swim goggles! I was totally fine!But other than that, he's a great brother. He beats me at Mario Kart (I WILL surpass him one day), he bakes the best cookies, and he's done a lot of things for me. Like, there was this one time I messed up my lines on the big Christmas play my school puts on. Everyone was teasing me about it after it was over. But then I saw Oliver notice me. He walked onstage to congratulate me, but then he slipped on the hay! He knocked over the stage props, and his hand hit the switch that dumped the fake snow. All of the fake snow. Oliver got up, rubbing his head. He was covered in white, hay was sticking out of his hair, and the theater teacher did not look happy. My classmates saw it all went down and immediately began to laugh at Oliver instead.The thing is, Oliver's a bad actor. A really bad actor. Is it true that he's clumsy? Yes. He could easily cause that much damage on a random Tuesday (heck, there was a "rubber chicken incident" last week). But I could tell- that night, he deliberately moved his arms and legs to cause the most amount of damage. I guess slipping and falling is a bit of an artform, whether he means it to be or not.Caroline is my best friend! Why haven't you heard of her yet? It might be because CB is still developing her a bit! But as for an in-universe explanation (and for me to stop breaking the fabric of my reality), Caroline isn't necessarily shy, she's just never been one to want to be front and center. She's funny, smart, and she gives the best hugs! I just know we're going to be best friends for life. And, for the record, her name is CAROLINE. It's not Carolina. Not the state. It's just Caroline.Then there's Roxanne. She's been a family friend for so long, she's basically become my older sister. And she tries to be an older sister to Oliver, but it doesn't really work out that way. The thing is, she's got the brains. She's smart. She's somewhere in the top ten students in their grade. But she can get really caught up in her thinking and plans. That's where Oliver comes in. His reactionary nature is what balances Roxanne out. Sometimes that means Oliver jumps onto the table to put out the milk carton Roxanne set on fire while she casually goes over fire safety procedures. Other times, Oliver simply drags Roxanne down the hallway before she thinks of the worst insult to say to the guy that accidentally elbowed her (pray that you don't have a dead parent).When it's just me and Roxanne, we're just girls who wanna have fun! She’s not the most girly girl, but she’s willing to wear a little bit of pink whenever we hang out. I even got to do her nails once. With glitter nail polish. This sort of stuff is usually done in exchange for letting her do a project of some kind. For example, painting her nails was how she was able to start designing an automatic watering system for me and my parents. It's gone through a couple of test phases, and she believes it'll be ready for another test run soon! It's also a good thing that most of the house is water damage proof, because she flooded the living room one time.I've got a couple of new friends. First is Flint. Yes, that Flint. Flint Chasey. I don't keep up with celebrity stuff, and I don't watch reality TV, but even I know who Flint Chasey is. When my family takes a trip to the city zoo, I see Flint plastered on a billboard for a clothing brand or some jewelry. But what's he like in real life? When the camera's not rolling? What's the inside scoop?Flint is me, but a guy. And rich. And a rock alter. And a bit stronger. Kinda like me. Just more… crazy.AND BOY DO I LOVE CRAZY!Flint doesn't do much thinking, and that's a great thing for people who live in the moment! He'll do any insane idea you give him without hesitation.… I didn't realize how powerful this was.One time in the van, I was just thinking to myself (I like thinking out loud), and I wondered if the van could go offroad. Flint overheard me, and, unfortunately for everyone, he was the one driving. He immediately swerved off the highway and began Tokyo drifting through one of the crop fields.Thankfully the van had minimal damage, Oliver was only minimally traumatized, and Roxanne only screamed at Flint for twelve minutes! Flint said after that he had been on space flights shorter than that, to which Roxanne yelled at him for another ten minutes. Vale was the only responsible one at the time, and he was trying to assure the farmer that Flint's family could definitely pay for everything and more. Apparently there wasn't much reception or TV signal out there, so saying that the kid that destroyed your crops was famous didn't mean much to people out here.Vale seems to be the most reasonable person in the group, but that really isn't a high bar to pass. Other than being a germaphobe and a brightly colored emo adult, he's just a guy with a job and a life of sorts. He lives in a tiny apartment, and the most I've ever heard him talk about in his personal life is that he visits his grandma every once in a while. But I'm a persistent Holly. I'm going to get to know EVERYONE on my trip. And that includes Vale. The question was- when was Vale most himself?One fateful night did it. We were staying at a hotel. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't want to toss and turn to wake up Roxanne, so I decided to just get up and do something until I felt tired again. As soon as I slipped out of the bed, I saw a small light in the corner of the room. I can be very quiet if I need to be. Especially when I'm sneaking around. So, I crept around the beds, slowly but surely. And then I saw it.Vale was playing on a Nintendo Switch. And not just any game- Animal Crossing.Vale noticed me. His eyes went wide. There was no getting around it- he was caught red handed."I didn't hear you wake up…" was all he whispered."What's your island look like?" I asked.Vale sighed. He then swore me into secrecy. Apparently Animal Crossing is his guilty pleasure. He was up late catching tarantulas to sell for bells. He had just gotten the final upgrade for his house and he was in a LOT of debt. But Vale must've spent years curating his island. He had every fruit tree, all of his island residents were centralized in a neighborhood, and he even created a nature trail that weaved through a mountain. I told him that whenever this was all over, I was going to show him my cool island. I told him about my confetti corner- it's a sidewalk covered in confetti cannons. He said it sounded fun.I told him I was going to go back to sleep, but then I heard him as I walked away. "The one time I decided to pull out my switch…" he mumbled to himself. "The one time!"Well, that about does it for me. To end things off, I'm going to give you a brief but expert explanation on what plant alters are and what we do. Because, you know, I am one!First off, don't think of me as a human with plant features, think of me as a plant that's shaped like a human. I've got organs, like a brain, stomach, lungs, all the works, but they're tuned to fit what a plant needs too. It's why my favorite food can be macaroni and at the same time, I need to take my fertilizer vitamins every day.I don't like thinking of it as needing special care, but there are a few things that plant alters need that nobody else does. I already kinda explained how I need both human food and plant food, and most restaurants offer plant-alter specific foods. But I also need to take a special kind of nap nearly every day. Plants soak up nutrients through the soil too, and if I'm running around day in and day out, I don't get the chance to absorb what I need. So every day (I have my own pass to do this at school), I go outside or up to a window (anywhere with direct sunlight, really) and stand in a pot of dirt for thirty minutes. I take off my boots and socks, step into the dirt, water the pot, and then I just… sleep. It's weird. I can't sleep standing up anywhere else, and it doesn't necessarily feel like sleeping, but it's the best way to explain it. I then wake up after I'm done, step out of the dirt, brush myself off and wipe off the remaining dirt with a towel, and get back to my day.Don't ask me where babies come from. I'm not old enough to know that. But what I do know is that I was a miracle for my parents. Most plant alters are only half or a quarter plant- there's something about having a non-plant parent that makes having kids easier, and there's something about having two plant alter parents that makes it harder to have kids. Heck, having a kid must be a pretty big deal, cause my baby picture made it on the local newspaper when I was born!That's all I've got for you today! Keep an eye out for my next journal entry in which I expose everything Oliver's written in his diary about his big crush on Priscilla!… I've been informed I am "so dead." Apparently "snooping" is "frowned upon." I've gotta run before Oliver catches me-
