#aileen aodh;; all

who: aileen aodh with: anyone ( @chqstarter ) no longer accepting replies. where: the green ( downtown )

sitting underneath one of the many trees in the green, aileen was browsing home decor sites. they were moving onto remodeling the guest bedroom and needed some ideas. and budget-friendly ideas at that, having spent far too much on the main bedroom. "hey, you," she kicked out at the passer-by. "what makes a good guest bedroom? like, what makes it less like a hotel room and more like a place you could feel at home. but not too at home! you still have to leave at some point."

[windovvaving]

aileen could barely pay attention to the other occupant. they were trying not to hyperventilate. they had heard too many stories of elevators falling because someone made the slightest movement. so the other's pacing was not helping calm aileen down. any moment, the cable holding them up would snap and the both of them would fall to their death, getting crushed and being unidentifiable under the elevator's weight. what good was getting the architect fired when maybe the elevator problem happened somewhere else along the line? granted, aileen knew nothing about how these types of problems even occur, so maybe it was the architect's fault. "okay," they whispered, still focusing on keeping their breathing steady.

who: open @chqstarter

where: a (broken) elevator

Twenty minutes; thirteen seconds; probably fifty milliseconds and he was already starting to sweat. He supposed that the nervous pacing wasn't helping the situation (or the other person in the elevator with him) but the humid, stuffy air and the darkness was starting to irritate the select few nerves that he had left that afternoon. All he could think about was the fact that he was breathing the same air as the person next to him and his shirt was starting to itch. "allah'im ya -" Tuncay breathes, running his palms over his face.

In a horror film, this would be the moment where the poltergeist got them; in an action film, this was the part where they climbed through the top of the elevator and carefully, with agility, flitted around industrial steel beams until they were safe on solid ground; in a reality show, they were stuck, very stuck, in a small little box with no electricity or air conditioning (or air filtration, to his horror) "I know the architect who designed this building, I will make sure that they pay a very hefty fee for this. Don't worry, they'll be out of business in 24 hours, indefinitely."

aileen ashild aodh.

triggers: ableism (towards an autistic individual; from school faculty), sensory overstimulation (mentions of it happening & how to combat it)

history / headcanons:

uses both neutral & feminine pronouns. tries to keep the usage of each about equal, but if someone just picks one & sticks with it, they won't get mad.

super into fixer-upper stuff, which explains why they live in lakeridge & drive a car older than them! the house they live in is going under remodel by her own hands! she plans to turn it into her dream home.

after four years, they’ve only finished two rooms: the main bedroom & the kitchen. this is because they’re trying to only use their own money on the renovations. & she wants it to be perfect, a dream home.

aileen comes from a pretty well-off family, which is how she can afford to live on her own in denver at 24 (parents pay the mortgage). they originate from castle rock, co, which is south of denver but north of the springs.

she grew up playing outside, never masking, & surrounded by family. even if said family was just her parents and older sibling.

their passion for music started young. see, both parents are in the music industry: mom’s an audio engineer & dad’s front man for an indie rock band. originally, aileen wanted to be a singer like their dad.

but they can’t carry a vocal tune to save their life. so they turned towards mixing like their mom.

which is how aileen landed her first dj job! a classmate (in her arts academy days, more on that below) was having a party & was in desperate need of someone to do the music. enter aileen, well-known to have music-inclined parents. she took the few mixing skills she had at that point to make a (pretty shitty) set.

seeing everyone enjoying the music they put together, even if it wasn’t their words or instrumentals, all of those people enjoying something they made unlocked a new passion.

their dj alias is “ASHE” (though this is the only time i’ll stylize it that way to keep an all lowercase aesthetic). it’s a play on their middle name “ashild.” also, phoenix imagery since their last name means “fire.”

won't get upset if you use her stage name instead of her real one in a convo. sometimes people know her better as ashe & who's she to care.

at twenty, after building rapport in castle rock, aileen set out for the big city. denver! why denver? why not los angeles or nashville or any city known for having a club scene? the sibling from bullet four is here! (i mean, not yet, but i plan on putting a wc out).

life hasn’t been all fun & games for aileen, though. it mostly has been, but being so openly autistic had consequences. school faculty brushed her off, rolling eyes at her “disruptiveness” aka stimming.

when it came to school, aileen made a conscious effort to not vocally stim & to keep other stims small (hair twirling, chewelry, leg bouncing, finger tapping, etc) to a minimum, but teachers didn’t work with her. it hurt her to not stim, but the school environment made i so she felt she had to.

not even an iep helped. this issue cumulated in the aodh parents pulling aileen out of public school & enrolling her in a charter arts academy. the faculty at this school were much better at working with aileen & the environment of a bunch of other public school rejects helped her flourish.

wears sound-cancelling headphones all the time to help with sensory overload. this is especially important when aileen's at the 303 since clubs are overstimulating environments.

being the one in control of the music (& the volume) helps combat that. it's why she can be in that environment for hours at a time.

wanted connections:

her older sibling! i’ll be submitting a wc to the main, but if anyone wants to discuss it already, hit me up. this is the only one that would need to be a brand new character.

fellow djs! not necessarily at the 303 or even professionals, but just someone aileen could talk about music & mixing with.

a best friend! someone they met in childhood*, or high school*, or maybe even during their time in denver. the two became fast friends over shared interests. thick as thieves ever since. (*if a childhood or hs best friend, they'd have to be from castle rock since that's where aileen originates from).

a rival! well, rival is a bit inaccurate. more like someone who just doesn't like her & who she doesn't like either. they'll get into word spars, but it doesn't ever really go too far. only a tiny bit of real heat behind hurled insults. could be a professional rival or a personal one or maybe even someone else obsessed w/ renovation who doesn't like aileen maximalist style.

romantic interest! i like cute romance threads, so a datemate (of any gender) for aileen would be awesome.

if you’re hearing THE RECORD PLAYER SONG by DAISY THE GREAT playing, you have to know AILEEN AODH (THEY/SHE; DEMIFEMALE) is near by! the TWENTY-FOUR year old DISK JOCKEY (DJ) AT CLUB 303 has been in denver for, like, FOUR YEARS. they’re known to be quite BOISTEROUS, but being INDOMITABLE seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble CHLOÉ HAYDEN. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those THE SPARKLE YOUR EYES GET WHEN EXCITED, STAYING UP LATE LISTENING TO A SONG ON REPEAT, & NEON LIGHTS AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the LAKERIDGE long enough!

*please note that since chloé is autistic, has adhd, & has postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (pots), aileen will have these traits as well!! she is being written by an autistic mun, but one w/o adhd or pots. aileen's portrayal is heavily influenced by my own experiences.

who: aileen aodh with: bonnie beaufort ( @bonniebeaufort ) where: trunk or treat / costume contest ( the green, downtown )

aileen was trying to add some fake blood to their vampire costume before heading on stage for the contest, when the tube spat at them. it landed on her cheek. she turned to the person next to her, "does it at least look semi-intentional? i really don't have the time to redo if it doesn't."

[windovvaving]

aileen had finished their weekly grocery shopping when they saw bianca's cart hit their car. that wasn't good, but instead of focusing on the negative, they said: "it's a junker anyways, one more dent isn't going to hurt." she opened the passenger seat to put the bags down. "i wouldn't say no to lunch as an apology, though. but again, my car's pretty banged up, so it's not a big deal to me."

OPEN STARTER @chqstarter Location: Super Market

To say that Bianca hated grocery shopping was an understatement. There were always too many choices and in general it was too boring for her liking. Which was why she liked to play little games with herself when she could. The most fun to her was shopping cart bowling, and at the end of her trip she tried to get a perfect score by pushing her cart into the return when it gave an unexpected veer to the right hitting a car. "Oh shit!" Bianca said before looking around and finding someone who watched the whole thing. "Listen I'll give you $20 if you don't snitch." She offered before a sudden thought came to mind. "Or I'll buy you lunch if that was your car."

ice cream. that was exactly what aileen needed after a long day of painting walls. even going all the way to montbello wasn't an obstacle when a sweet treat was needed! "can i get a vanilla cup with marshmallow fluff or cream or whatever it's called on top if you have it?" she took her wallet out of her purse to be ready to pay when a total was given.

open starter : @chqstarter at a la mode

the tingling bell above the door alerted him to someone's presence, yet it still took him a moment to emerge from the back with his arms filled with cups, spoons, and cones galore to finish stocking once he had a moment to. raffy hadn't been expecting the sudden rush he'd gotten, and almost wished he hadn't sent the last of his help home for the evening already. " welcome in ! let me know when you're ready to order ! i just made some new flavors if you want to try. "

aileen leaned against on of the more stable shelves. they then moved back, not wanting to seem rude. "oh, i came over because i wanted to know what the smell was. but as long as i have your attention, is there anything you'd recommend out of your new arrivals?"

"Tell me about it. It just makes you look bad for making the mess and leaving someone else to cleaning it up." she sighed, glancing up at the other. "is there something you are looking for? I can get it for you when im done here." she offered before cleaning up the last of the mess.

[windovvaving]

she had been dying her hair red for so long, it was second nature at this point. keeping a decent section of the natural brown so they didn't have to feel the dye on their scalp. aileen took a second look at the man beside her. "something different or something new? and, like, what vibe are you going for—professional?" that would influence any advice she'd give.

who: open @chqstarter

Tony tugged on the strands of hair that brushed against his chin. He was due for a haircut and an updated dye job. The pink he’d added in the beginning of the summer had since faded out, the time spent in the pool leeching the color until there wasn’t even a pale hint of it’s former vibrant glory. If his father saw him now, he knew Edgar would roll his eyes. The man seemed to appreciate his son’s self expression, but made it clear that he believed Tony lacked any sense of professionalism. “So,” he began, turning to the person beside him, “I obviously need to do something about this.” He tugged on the strands again for emphasis. “But I don’t know what. Got any suggestions?”

[windovvaving]

aileen had been enjoying being outside of the house. don't get them wrong—they adored their house, but a sunny and not-hot day deserved to be appreciated. she had been reading on one of the benches when the click of a camera could be heard. they hadn't been wearing their headphones since the park was calm. "no, no, you don't have to delete them. just don't post them. please. i don't like pictures of me i didn't take being online." the dyed-ginger pat the spot next to them. "can i see them, though?"

𝐖𝐇𝐎 :  joshua + anyone // @chqstarter 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 :  the green

       the day was absolutely gorgeous. the weather wasn't too hot or too cold. the seventy degree weather really brought out more people than usual. and josh was no different. he grabbed his camera, and he went around the city, taking photos, finding beauty in everything he saw. he found himself taking a break at the green, where he took some time to eat his lunch before he saw someone who looked like they were in their ELEMENT. he brought his camera up and looked them through their viewfinder before finally taking a few snapshots of them. the sound of the shutter could be heard and was probably what broke his cover when the person looked straight at them. busted. he gave them an innocent smile. " sorry, i can totally delete them. you can check them out if you want though, they did turn out good, " joshua said.

[windovvaving]

aileen took to 'there's always room for improvement' mentalities like a sponge. everything she ever did, she had to get better and better. "awesome awesome, i look forward to hearing what you think afterwards." feedback was crucial for her job. if club-goers didn't like their sets, they'd be out of a job. "they're a newer band, not surprised you haven't heard of them. since my set is over, i'm done for the night, someone else is finishing out the night. so, yeah, i'm down to get a drink with you."

addison’s smile grew wider at the others words. it was nice to come across someone with a similar mindset to get. addison herself was always trying to improve, always trying to step out of her comfort zone. What was life without a little risk ? “I like your way of thinking. and if the next one is guaranteed to top tonight, then I’ll have to make sure I come to that, too.” making a mental list of the name, addison nodded. "i've never heard of them before, but i always like discovering new music. so, are you resigned to here for the whole night, or are you able to get a drink before the night is over ? "
