//open. ext. rooftop garden - day.

Ashton in the past few years had always been an occasional visitor to the roof, balloting for his own plot in order the help conduct some experiments on root vegetables. Sometimes he'd just go up there enjoy the sun, read a book, but the scenery didn't really make for a pretty backdrop anymore. He tensed and turned hearing footsteps that joined him. "Here to take in the view?" Or maybe wallow in their self pity together.

it was a thursday night, diwata knew they've got things to take care of tomorrow but they aren't needed until the early evening. so she was by the bar, nursing her....third? fourth? mug of bavarian lager. she would do the drinking at home but she couldn't stand how quiet it gets sometimes, given she had been living by herself for the past couple of years now. she downs the rest of her drink and gestures the bartender for another when a familiar someone from distance catching their attention. “are you just gonna stand there for the whole time or are you going to join me?" diwata says without looking up, as she takes a sip of her drink.

"here, looks like you need it more than i do." there's really no solid news yet of what really had went down at the summer solstice, but it seemed enough for antoinette to conclude to herself that whatever may have happened, it was a sight nobody deserved to see. she knew that there was always something strange in this town, a place she grew up in, but as of late, the dancer knew it was more than just the feeling that engulfed this place. she moved close, cautiously to sit beside the other person. "anything i can do? keep the drinks coming, or something else? just tell me what you need, babe. i got you."

[cooperxjames]

Cooper had picked up a shift at Cowbells and he was enjoying the opportunity to watch people attempt to ride (and mostly fail) ride the mechanical bull. It was a fast paced night, but not super chaotic, and he was just enjoying a night that felt a little bit like home. He rolled his neck a bit, turning from the shelf behind the bar, and looking at whoever had sat at the bar.

"Hey," he smiled, grabbing a glass and sliding it in front of them. "How can I help you tonight?" he asked. "And, if you feel brave enough to give Millie a go and stay on, drinks are half off," he said, his lips quirking into a little grin.

Bake My Day | Open

Beatriz had been in Queens on a business trip that finished earlier than she had anticipated, so she was looking for something to pass the time. She had a sweet tooth like none other, so that's how she ended up at the bakery. She bit her lip and headed inside. She was a bit overwhelmed by all the choices, so she turned to the person behind her.

"Have you ever been here?" she asked her. "I have no idea what to get..." She chuckled softly, tucking her hair back behind her ear, toying with the ends of it, a nervous habit she'd picked up.

[boreumdx]

hi everyone! it's nice to meet you! my name is rose and i'm super excited to bring my child aka the sweetest little shield - na boreum - to town. she is a stuttering mess sometimes, but i'm hoping that she'll make some good friends along the way.. or unwittingly make some enemies too! either way, it's never a dull moment with boreum because bad luck seems to just follow her most times.. even with her having a force field :') i'll have some information under the cut, along with some wanted connections / plot ideas, but you can also find a in progress breakdown of her here. please like this post and i'll jump to you to get started on plotting! please and thank you! :)

current events.

boreum currently works full-time as a waitress at toast & coffee 24-hour diner. she knows what she’s doing right now is mundane - working each night shift, coming home, sleeping, eating and then repeating.. but she isn’t sure what more she wants to do with her life. truthfully, she’s never thought much about her own life until after her father passed away - before then, she’d only thought about how she could get the loan sharks to stop coming to their apartment. she is currently seeking a purpose in life.. and hopefully she can find some friends along the way.

some background facts: 

tw: very slight mention of a gambling addiction her father had, parental abuse and parental death. 

born in the slums of the south side to a young couple - her mother became sickly after giving birth, and died young, whereas her father had a gambling addiction and no sooner shipped his daughter off to live with her grandparents the second his wife had passed away.

at the age of seven, boreum’s grandparents both passed away and she was left in the care of her father, who was extremely abusive mentally, physically and emotionally. 

it was during this time living with him that she had manifested the ability to create force fields, most likely spurred on by the desire to defend herself from her father when he was in a fit of rage.

bullied often during her school years, as her father constantly owed debts, and would show up during classes, begging her to give him money from her part-time jobs to repay his loans.

her father suddenly passed away when she was twenty-three years old, though the cause of death is unknown, it’s said that he was mixed up with some criminals who didn’t take debt loans lightly.

moved to her own apartment after her father’s death, and got a full-time job at toast & coffee - she primarily works the nightshift, mostly as she’s a pushover and accepts those shifts when others ask her to take them, and also because it’s less busy in the evenings, so she feels a little more comfortable compared to the morning or afternoon rush.

stutters sometimes, and can be somewhat skittish around strangers, mostly as a result of her upbringing.

wanted connections.

regular! 0/2 - someone who frequents toast & coffee often and who usually ends up sitting in boreum's section - whether by their own request, or because fate keeps pairing them together. when it's a particularly slow evening, sometimes you'll chat together, even if boreum is helplessly awkward.

neighbors! 0/? - you just keep running into each other - quite literally, at one point, as boreum knocked into you on the stairwell once by accident. maybe you want to torment her because she's such an easy target living in such a disgraceful place. maybe you're wanting to protect her. or maybe you just misplaced your keys and she is the only one willing to open the door and invite you in until your deadbeat landlord swings by. whatever the reason, having boreum as your neighbor is definitely.. interesting.

coworkers! 0/? - maybe you're the person who always tries to help her out when she accidentally knocks over the coffee mugs.. or maybe you're the one who keeps peer pressuring her into taking the night shifts. either way, you're part of her daily life!

good friend! 0/1 - the one person that boreum is closest to - you're essentially her confidant, and the person she'll text every day hoping you have a great morning, noon or night. she's fiercely loyal to you and she'll always have your back - even if she's shaking in her boots.

antagonist! 0/1 - even with her father having passed on, it doesn't mean that his debts have just been erased, so you're out to collect on it from his remaining kin - are you going to shake her down or take mercy on this innocent soul?

there's also some other plot ideas for our muses you can find here. but here are some just to get started if you're interested!

thrift buddy! someone who often goes thrifting with her - whether it’s just because you know it makes her happy or because you’re interested in finding some fits yourself.

blind date. one of her coworkers thought it would be funny to set you up with her on a blind date. maybe it’ll go well! .. or maybe it won’t :’)

online friend. it’s really difficult for her to make friends irl.. but maybe she has a better chance on the internet where you two have chatted for “x” amount of time. it would be fun to meet up in person too for the first time.

someone who knew her dad and who hates her as a result of his scheming whether he scammed them personally or maybe someone close to them.

either you and/or boreum find yourselves in some trouble and the only way of getting out alive is depending on each other.. yikes!

^^ feel free to mix around any of the wanted connections or plots together and/or just message me if none suit your fancy and you want to brainstorm

"Wow, looks like the party is already in full swing," Roi marvelled as he finally arrived to the Big Halloween Bash — A sense of exhilaration trickling along his skin as he felt the excited energy from those around him, and the vibrant atmosphere that seemed to encompass the whole area.

Roi was quite in awe of everything — The lights, decor, festivities and the people were all just extraordinary tonight, and Roi felt a tinge of regret for not brining along more of his cameras. The photographer in him felt the itch to just snap as many shots as he could at the event, as well as the Lust-Ring itself.

But, his bag could only carry so much, and he didn't want to bring along his little cameras-critters, in case of damage or other potential risks. So, Roi was simply going to have to do with using his phone and the one camera he packed. And well — His own head may do too, he supposed!

After a quick touch up and once over for his makeup and costume, Roi holds up his bouquet to his chest and takes a moment to brace himself a bit. It had admittedly been quite the long time since he last participated in an event, rather than just work at one. So even Roi felt some subtle nerves flutter in his chest, much like the fake butterflies that clung to the top of his veil.

But more than anything, Roi was genuinely happy he could be here in Lust and have the opportunity to explore and look around, while also enjoying such a spectacular and spooky event! And, maybe, if he's lucky — He may even make some new companions tonight!

casual reminder of my wanted plots page and also that i'd love to do some plots in the vein of a space opera / scifi, ghosts / haunted houses, old / golden age hollywood, or high fantasy!

LOCATION OPEN ➟ OPEN (5/4)

It was hard to believe that just last week, Saniata was on a yacht cruising the Mediterranean, and now she was in a small town in the middle of nowhere with strangers and no yacht. She couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. "Oh God - why did I come here?" She moaned under her breath. This was all Carter's fault.

[maikabishop]

open starter – capping at four (4/4) location: roadside at mid-day

"Goddammit." It was just Maika's luck to get a flat tire on their way to work. Especially on what felt like the hottest day of the year. After getting off the phone with roadside assistance and receiving a minimum wait time of one hour, they sent off a quick text to their boss before admitting defeat and slumping against the side of the jeep. Ever since returning to Briar Ridge, nothing had gone quite as planned and a nail in their tire was truly the cherry on top.

LOCATION: summer solstice FOR: everyone @helltownhqstarters

"i apologize, my eyes were on the ground the entire time i--" sunset stops herself from eventually ending on a yap-fest in front of the person she accidentally just bumped into, hoping she hasn't spilled their food or drink, if they were holding any. the blonde tends to wander, not just in her head from time to time. she had been taking everything in around her, her surroundings, the music, the feeling of freedom, she wasn't used to it very much, still. "i'll, i'll get you whatever i've knocked out of your hands." sunset finally takes the moment to look at the other.

open to: females. plot: inspired by the ' debt ' prompt from here. it says her dad owes money but it can be her mom / another family member / her husband or partner. connection: stranger, niece, estranged daughter, step - daughter, half / step - sister, colleague's daughter, daughter / wife of an old associate, and anything else welcome. please don't like this starter.

together, sat in the silence and seclusion of his home, the weight of a dubious contract hangs heavy in the evening air between them. “ don't look so nervous, doll, ” assures her with an amiable smile but there's devilry at play in the dark blue of his eyes as they etch from her head to toe and back up again. his pretty property until the debt has been settled — if roman ever permits that day to come, that is. “ this is your new life now, ” rubs large palm over her knee, “ the sooner you accept that, the easier it will be. ”

Status: open to all ! Location: The Beach Time: Midday

One hand held a cigarette, dangling at her side while the other held one of the latest cell phones on the market. The phone was held up as high up as her arm could reach, desperately trying to find any kind of signal to no avail. After taking so many pictures on such a nice day out by the water and having absolutely no way of sharing them online, it was one of the most tragic things about being sent here and it was getting more and more frustrating as the days passed.

"This is ridiculous!" Juliana groaned as her extended arm dropped down back to her side in defeat. "Seriously, how does anyone survive out here like this?"
