❛ i should've burned this place to the ground when i had the opportunity. ❜

random starters from the office, @offmysails​

Her boots are planted on the dash. She’s been waiting for Jim to swat them off, but he hasn’t yet which is uncomfortably telling. His gaze is fixated on the building unfolding out in front of them and from here–in the parking lot, in the cab of his car, with more than a year stretched out between them and it, their high school looks…smaller. Empty, way less imposing. It’s just a shitty little building, same as it always was.

She drops her feet of her own accord, arm reaching out to brace against the driver’s seat, near Jim’s shoulder but not quite touching.

“Bet we can find a bottle in the garbage,” she smirks, chin jerking towards the industrial waste bin sitting on the far side of the lot. “Vinny taught me how to make the perfect molotov years ago.” She flicks his ear. “I’ll sacrifice a sock. Place’ll be ash by sundown.”

HEADCANON, modern au

some discordant notes, bits, & bobs.

MOSTLY AGES 14 - 18

         Father owns Ramírez Auto Repair. Mother is a fitness trainer/manager at a local gym. House is a small-ish, dimly lit 1 story (there's probably wood paneling. Truly an HGTV nightmare). 4 bed/2.5 bath. Scrubby front yard, big backyard. Dad used to supplement his income by working at auto aftermarket factory outside of town; used to take Audrey in with him when she was young.

         (He used to let her and Nena skip school and go out and drink sodas.)

         Nena is 2 years older than Audrey (across verses). She should’ve been a senior when Audrey came in as a freshman, but she gets early admissions to uni and Audrey is pissed about it (Nena leaves school not too long after to pursue her boxing career). Audrey is moody and mouthy in freshman year. She’s never been really good at making friends; she’s suspicious of everyone. Super close to her sister, who's far more social, but feels bitter and betrayed by her since she was supposed to inherit Nena’s friends and residual coolness.

         Doesn’t have a lot of age-appropriate friends, so she hangs out with the geezers at her dad’s auto shop, where she works. She likes listening to their stories and feels more kinship with them. They speak her language.

         She’s rebuilding a car from scratch with salvaged parts—this is something she works on with her dad. It is complete by the time she’s graduated HS.

         She feeds the neighborhood cats, so they’re always hanging out at her house.
