Coco...may have been thinking about leaving early, if he was able to sneak out of the crowd without anyone noticing. He hadn't seen Ollie yet - which was perfect - and he didn't really want to. If he was able to come and go without an altercation, that would be for the best! He had a good time, he saw people he liked, maybe he'd just leave now! But...no. As soon as he got outside, a familiar face approached him, arms open for a hug - which Court of course wasn't going to deny, giving Rhia a squeeze in return. "Hey!" he said, releasing her with one more squeeze, a smile on his face as he pulled back - one he kept on, even at her questions. "Oh, no, Link did! Joint birthday party, you know. I'm sure they were all inviting a bunch of different people." He shrugged up his shoulders, glancing back towards the group Rhia had come from before looking back at her. "You didn't have to leave your friends to come say hi to me, though."

The noise got more overbearing overtime, so Rhia escaped the house for a brief respite. Luckily, a few other students she knew distantly were smoking, and she was able to slip in seamlessly to their conversation. She heard the front door open again and threw a lazy glance toward the person who sauntered out. Coco’s face made Rhia smile, and she realized it’d been quite awhile since she ran into them. They were not close by any means, but Coco was one of those people that Rhia held endless gratitude for. They were sweet, affectionate, and well-meaning, qualities Rhia felt obligated to guard from the harshness of the world. “Hi, stranger!” Rhia laughed and broke off from the group. She approached Coco with open arms and brought his head to her chest for a tight, brief hug. “What are you doing here? Did Ollie invite you?” she questioned, curious as to what convinced them to come out of hiding.

"Missed you!" Court chirped, stepping back so he wasn't directly hovering over Heni, though he didn't go too far - as if he turned his back, she'd disappear to hang out with all of her other friends before they even had a chance to catch up. "Oh," he said, head angling to the side a bit, bobbing in a nod. "Sassa was invited? That's fun! She's nice, isn't she?" he asked, more focused on the fact that he had never even seen Sassa and Greer interact, and yet she had been invited then recollecting anything Heni had shared about their relationship in the past. Besides - regardless of what Heni had said...Court thought everyone (besides Ollie) was nice. "Mine was good, though. Fine. Fun. Yeah," he said, shrugging as he turned around, going towards their kitchenette area to grab a gatorade or a protein shake or something to busy his hands, shooting Heni a few glances over his shoulder as he did.

Heni feels like she's been caught red-handed, midway through committing a crime. Which, in this instance, just so happened to be the heinous act of unpacking her suitcase. Objectively, rationally, she recognises she's not actually doing anything reprehensible. But something about the veiled wounded-dog look he's sporting makes her feel like she's guilty of something unspeakable. "I am," she says, more to give herself a moment to think than because she deems it the best response.

What was she supposed to say? Sorry the social butterfly didn't deem you part of the Greer inner circle? There was really no way of broaching this that sounded even remotely sincere. "It was ... not the worst break I've had. Even though I was made to share a bedroom with Sassa."

Almost certain she's about to regret asking, she adds: "How was yours?"

[court-mills]

Courtney froze - Milo was asking him if he wanted a drink? That didn't seem right, the thought occurring to him as he reached out to grab his own drink, a laugh slipping from his lips as he let out an easy-going grin. "Didn't mean to sneak up on you," Coco said with a shrug. "Just needed to get another drink." He paused, glancing at the bottle he had grabbed to play off the awkwardness of realizing he had accidentally dogged Milo's steps to the drink table like some sort of lost puppy (he was) considering how long it had been since they had spoken, frowning when he realized it was very much not something he wanted to drink. Who drank Scotch? This had to be the dean's. Court tentatively set it back down, sliding it towards the center of the island the drinks had been scattered on, glancing at the other options instead.

Where: The Joint Birthday Party Time: Whenver works Who: Open!

The worst thing about these stupid fucking birthday parties is that he very unfortunately liked one of the people whose birthday it was. However, he was pretty sure that Mari wouldn't have cared if he actually came or not, not like he wasn't going to tell her happy birthday when it was her real birthday. He'd get them coffee or something, it'd be great. But there was nothing else to do that night so there he was, in the kitchen looking through whatever alcohol had been procured. He wondered if some of this was the Dean's, or if the party goers had brought their own. He glanced up from a bottle he was getting ready to pour when he noticed a presence. "You want something?" He asked. Whether he was asking if they wanted something to drink, or was asking why they were bothering him was left up to interpretation.

[court-mills]

Court had debated whether or not to attend the party - Ollie definitely wasn't his biggest fan, and it was his birthday, and he was debating whether or not it was worth it for days. But it was also Link's birthday, and he did like Link. So he decided, with much hemming and hawing and dragging his feet and quite nearly changing his mind last minute, he'd go. If only to wish Link a happy birthday and then leave early.

Unfortunately, once he was there, Coco was reminded of how much he did like a lot of the people who had also been invited, putting out his most gregarious charms so no one realized how uncomfortable he felt about being there - and it almost worked, too. He almost forgot about the whole Ollie thing entirely, until his best friend or ex-boyfriend or whatever Monty was defined as now came out of nowhere, barreling towards him as his hands landed on Coco's shoulders with force that set him backwards onto his heels, just barely catching his weight before a surprised laugh slipped from their lips. "What do you mean, what am I doing here?" he asked, head canting towards one side, the conversation he had already been having immediately forgotten. "Should I not be?" The question was asked innocently, amusement in the tone - though a very real current of anxiety thrummed underneath, Court wondering what exactly Monty meant by that.

"What the fuck are you doing here." Monty's voice was a loud bark, failing to punctuate the question with the necessary uptilting intonation to make it so. He'd nearly done a double-take, glancing over the shoulder of the girl he was talking to, and then continuing to stare, squinting through the haze of the party at an all-too-familiar sandy head -- Court. He forced his drink into the random girl's hands and breezed past her, ditching mid-convo to instead march directly up to the other. "What the fuck," he started to repeat once he was near enough, "are you. Doing here. - Dude!" In a split second, Monty's yo-yoing intensity burst into a grin, his hands clapping down on Coco's shoulders where he squeezed and gave them a little bit of a shake. "I almost didn't recognize you, man, what the hell." He really hadn't, elated surprise bubbling over into a chuckle as he gave Coco a onceover, eyes roving down and back up again, still not releasing their shoulders. "Wassup?"

Coco had gotten back to campus realtively early that year to get settled in - it was a new year, a new semester, a new opportunity, and Court, for one, was determined to make the most of it. Granted, the whole pretty-much-everyone-he-knew-was-at-the-same-new-years-party-he-wasn't-invited-to thing sorta sucked, but...still. That was last year. He could put that behind him. He was heading back towards their dorm, having been discussing a new opportunity for DND, considering he seriously missed playing and yet couldn't go back to the old people he played with (for obvious reasons), not expecting Heni to already be back when he swung open the door. But she was there, Court freezing at the sight of another person, the awkwardness of seeing her and the reminder of the party he had not been invited to flooding through him nearly immediately. You're back!" Court said brightly, trying to shove that all down, though he almost definitely still looked awkward, hovering in their doorway the way he was. "How was your break?" he asked, beaming at Heni.

PLEASE EXPAND ON HOW THEY EMBODY THEIR CHARACTER TROPE: THE HIMBO

Court is extremely smart. He’s pre-med, after all, and fully intends to go into a branch of medicine where he can focus on helping people who - like he had - struggle with their gender identity. He’s intelligent, motivated, and has lofty goals - a lot of people just don’t see it at first. He’s got the blue eyes, the pretty face, the easy laugh, and gentle voice, and people see the whole package, and the way he goofs around, and assume he’s not the brightest. It’s fair, honestly - he does have his ditzy moments. And he definitely does lack a little common sense and can come off like an idiot at first, just because he’s so not worried about coming off smart, or proving anything to anyone, and just wants to enjoy himself. But once people start to get to know him a little more, they realize there’s a lot more under the surface. Even if the surface is that pretty.

CONNECTIONS

RELATIONSHIP TO GREER: NEW FRIEND

Two years ago, when Court showed up as a freshman, his newly developed looks and the confidence that went along with them found him blending right into the popular clique. While he was aware that these were the very people who would’ve ignored him in high school, he couldn’t help but go along with it with the slightest sense of awe. Maybe because he is friendly with both Kit and Jesse, he never had anything but positive interactions with Greer, the two blondes actually getting along extremely well. They often goofed off together, Court definitely someone that could bring out her more easy going side, though that could be said for most people he interacted with.  

IC QUESTION: “You wouldn’t have wanted Greer to disappear, would you?”

Court let out a scoff, shaking his head. “Of course not. She was my friend,” they said, a frown crossing his face after the words as he looked at the officer. “I know people have a lot of contradicting opinions about her, but when you just…hung with her, she was chill. And people never bothered to get to know her before talking shit. Was she the nicest? No,” he answered, the words honest, if a bit blunt. “But she also wasn’t the horrible person some people like to paint her as. I don’t know. I only ever had good interactions with her. And even if I hadn’t, it’s not like I’d never want her to disappear. Or anyone.”

BIOGRAPHY:  

court was definitely more shy/reserved/closed off in his younger years - before going through puberty, he was skinny and felt so outta place in who he was, so he held himself back a lot and was very much one of the shy nerdy kids

there was definitely some bullying as well through middle school/early high school, which definitely didn’t help him feeling comfortable in his own skin

his personality started to come out a lot more once he began to feel more confident, and people realized he was a complete goofball, albeit one who is very pretty

he had a glow up around senior year of high school, and was suddenly much more welcomed into the popular cliques

not being one to hold grudges, ash became friends with a lot of the kids who were previously mean to him

when he came to ogden, he was instantly accepted in as a jock, and fit in with the quote-unquote cool kids. it was a shock for him, and he tries to hide his still very loud nerdy side so they don't realize he doesn't belong and kick him out

THE SUMMER OF 2023 COURTNEY MILLS

THE VIBES DURING THE BREAK

ok ok let's seeeeeeeeeee. court ran off for the summer determined to not think abt ogden and all the mess

the mess ofc meaning: greer, g, the situation with ollie, lacrosse having made his injuries worse again, the drugs he was using to cope with said injuries, and probably more

he went out to california to meet up with logan for a comicon. he has missed his nerdy friends since he ghosted on dnd :( so he was very excited to go and be a lil nerdy boi

at some point, charlie came to visit him and he joined her for some of her degenerate roadtrip. they went gambling :) surely this won't become an issue with his addictive personality!

THE VIBES FOR THIS YEAR

this video

pathological people pleaser who only wanted u to see her <3

fuck ollie, ollie is g (lbr the connotation of fuck can and probs will change in this circumstance)

if u caught the foreshadowing.......coco is gonna develop a gambling addiction while trying to sway away from his painkiller addiction so if ur muse could play into that at all in anyway, hmu

some wanted connections/plots for this semester:

i would love more ppl he butts heads with :) only ollie has really been mean to him and i want more ppl to be mean to him

i'm not sure how this will play out on the dash but a chance to show how stupid he really is. maybe ppl who are in pre-med classes with him? lab partners? working on a project? investigating ollie g? just let him be dumb and clueless

also ppl for him to flirt with/hook up with :) i'm still figuring him out with the revamp so i'm sure more things will come to mind!
