#avery cohen / starter.

[persephonyed]

open to: anyone !

plot: maybe your muse wronged her, maybe they were unfaithful or betrayed her, or maybe it's a lot darker than that and she was f*cking with them all along. feel free to take it anywhere, it could be angsty or it could be true cr*me or h*rror vibes-motivated. i watched a scary movie last night and now i'm in a mood.

"don't you trust me?" avery mocked, eyes flicking skyward as she groaned. "i think that answer is quite obvious, don't you? did you not know i would've done anything to make you happy? if only you could've done the same for me." they had only gotten close recently, and though avery tended to keep people at bay, she had let them in. they had won over a piece of her heart, and she could've been devastated when they wrecked it — she prefers to make them reap the consequences instead.

           “it’s so funny to see you again, avery. do you tend to show up around the crime scene often?” she’s always been curious; it’s part of why she’s been good at her job. but she was off the clock, right? she couldn’t be interrogating anyone, but wren never rested when it came to jobs like this. this quaint little bar where the victim was last seen, and the one other person there was avery cohen. who also happened to be in a similar situation a few weeks ago. wren was nursing a beer, but she had set it down at avery’s table and the pressed her palms against the top of it, hovering over her. “on a date? or just fancy a night out?”

Hello dear roleplayers,

Here is our next recap of what happened during our event and plot drop! It was really intense and lots of fun to see everyone interact and react to the lockdown. During the Abominable Afterparty and the Ludicrous Lockdown, here’s what else we saw!

Dutch Balotelli enjoyed the premiere and afterparty and shared her cigarette with someone.

Stella went exploring during the afterparty and ran into fellow firestarter, Dr. Vivek Varma.

Stella also passed a special, secret note over to fellow firestarter and close friend, Dutch Balotelli.

Zeta St. Crow couldn’t remember ever having attended a party and took the chance to go to this one. While she was there, she branched out to meet new people and have a little small talk.

Ruby Cohen was at the party and was tired of answering questions meant for the Mayor.

Avery was excited to attend the party, but perhaps she was too excited and too deep in thought as she ran into someone and spilled both her drink and theirs.

Joanna Kingsley accidentally ran into Avery and they spilled their drinks and worked to clean it up before the waitstaff noticed.

Dr. Vivek Varma received a note from a firestarter, telling him to retrieve Sybil Halloway’s camera that Scott Sheffield stole that was stolen from him when he was murdered.

Thank you again to those who participated! Please do not post any more starters, but feel free to continue your current threads. Please tag any replies to plot drop threads/starters as #backdated.

closed starter for: @cigvrettedvet​ !

      the metallic smell hung heavy in the air, red streaks running down her lover’s face and vibrant puddles softly clapping beneath their feet. “it’s done,” the girl muttered, instinctively pulling theo into her chest and holding her tight, hoping the physical reassurance that she did well was enough to melt away most of the post-first kill shock. “you did so good, baby, you were incredible.” the words floated melodically off her lips as avery caressed the other’s hair and didn’t even attempt to hold back her proud grin. “the way you took initiative and used the pain he caused you against him was incredible — you were incredible.” she repeated endlessly. “and now he can never hurt you again, theo. you’re free.”

The NBA offseason schedule is all wrong

Good morning. We have that and more in Thursday’s NBA newsletter.

The NBA Draft Combine is happening in Chicago through Friday. Team personnel and most draft prospects (minus the elite) are all in town. Of course, we don't know what teams have which picks yet (or if some teams even have picks), because the NBA Draft Lottery isn't until next week.

This shows just how little the NBA's offseason calendar makes sense.

The NBA Draft happens in late June, right after the end of the NBA Finals. The draft really shouldn't occur before free agency, though: teams should be encouraged and liberated to use the draft not just as a craps table where they trawl for stars, but an opportunity to fill roster gaps. The problem is that teams don't know what gaps their roster has until free agency and the trade market flows out!

This is not an original thought -- smart internet people suggest this every year -- but the order of the offseason tentpoles should obviously be: NBA Draft Lottery (within a couple weeks of the end of the regular season), NBA Draft Combine (mid-May is fine -- it retains the ability of kids to decide to return to school), the start of free agency (July 1 works), the draft (fourth Thursday in July), and Summer League (mid-August). Getting the lottery out of the way gives teams some clarity to work with. Knocking out the bulk of free agency before the draft makes the draft more utilitarian. Pushing Summer League to August creates a natural flow into training camp and gives teams an opportunity to make early roster decisions on veterans. (It would no longer conflict with FIBA qualifying, because FIBA is absurd.)

While we're here, there are a couple things the NBA should do to ensure top prospects attend the Combine, even if they aren't submitting to physical tests or competitive games. The first is make attendance a condition of eligibility for early entry. (This would need to be bargained. But NBA players already have mandated media appearances. Why shouldn't the new guys?) These players, to remain on the early entry list, would have to be in Chicago and get measured, submit to some number of team interviews and some non-onerous amount of media availability. (Since European leagues are still in action, there should be an International Combine -- maybe Eurocamp works? -- in early June that doubles as a backstop for American prospects.)

To make the visit worth their while and paint an accurate picture of NBA life, the league should move a couple aspects of the Rookie Symposium to the Combine. Be real about how the NBA is different from college, high school, AAU, the D-League. Start talking to them about agents, managers, money, and lifestyle now.

This plan isn't foolproof, but it makes more sense than the jumble we have now.

Okay, now to real basketball.

The Celtics played their ideal game: a stretched floor, threes galore, the high post and all that. Little surprise, then, that they beat the Wizards 123-101 to get one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals. Avery Bradley was unconscious in the first half. Boston fans gave Kelly Oubre the business. And now we have two teams facing elimination at home over the next two nights.

Thursday night: Spurs at Rockets, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN. San Antonio can advance to the Western Conference Finals with a win. Rockets win and we're going to a Sunday afternoon Game 7. (On Mother's Day. Thanks, NBA!)

The Wizards had a critical Game 5 with a shot to get to the brink of somewhere they haven't been since Jimmy Carter. The Capitals had a big Game 7. And D.C. sports' annual Biggest Night Ever ended like all the others do.

The jury is split on whether Kelly Olynyk is a dirty player. That's ... about right.

Kevin Durant on why top prospects sit out the Draft Combine.

Lee Jenkins on a piece of the Warriors we don't often discuss: their hustle.

I enjoyed Ethan Rothstein's piece on the playoff demons of James Harden and Mike D'Antoni.

Sam Amick goes behind the scenes to find out how the Rockets stay sane during the playoffs.

Ben Cohen on the players picked just before Isaiah Thomas in the 2011 NBA Draft.

I wrote about how Manu Ginobili -- the proto-Harden -- outsmarted The Beard.

Good question: why don't college women's basketball fans follow their favorite players to the WNBA? Via REDEF.

Interesting and sad: Jeremy Lin recounts that racist taunts were worse in college than they've been in the NBA. I can imagine any number of factors. It's deeply unfortunate that Lin or any player is exposed to that at any level, though.

Huge congratulations to The Starters for tallying the 50TH WEDGIE OF THE SEASON!

And finally: Dikembe Mutombo stars in Tall Man in Tiny Plane.

hi there ! i’m looking to expand my muse list, so i’m adding a few new characters who you can find under the cut, along with a ( very ) brief, informal lil descrip of them. i’d love to get some starters going with them and get a feel for my newbies, so give this post a like if you’re interested in a starter from any of them ! i’ll come to you for muse specificity and to maybe work out a little plot.

avery odelia cohen ! 30, bisexual, daughter of a billionaire tech mogul and murderer. ( riley keough. ) she has seen her family murder and get away with it, she has seen them steal and get away with it, so she was raised to believe she could get away with anything. like when she accidentally killed her first boyfriend in a freak drowning accident when she was sixteen? avery had no consequences. she’s terrifyingly privileged and protected by her father’s power, combined with her insanely high iq that no one suspects she has, she’s able to manipulate any situation to turn out in her favor. and more than one ‘accident’ has occurred in her life. she might even like it at this point.

callista “callie” lucia ortiz ! 36, lesbian, university professor. ( aubrey plaza. ) teaching folklore and greek mythology was definitely a choice that callie’s parents didn’t understand, but she knew it was her passion and pursued it despite their disapproval. now she’s one of the leading specialists in the field and a sought out professor at a prestigious school. but she isn’t one of the stuffy and stuck up types that typically teach at her school. and most of the time, with success comes scandal, and there are definitely rumors circulating about her around school. and she hardly does anything to dispel them; she actually tends to revel in the attention and whispers that follow her through the halls.

daphne josette byrne ! 29, bisexual, ghostwriter ( lily james. ) predominantly known on social media, it seems as if she’s an influencer in the making, but no one really knows just who daphne is. sure, the instagram ad payouts are nice, but she makes her real money ghostwriting for some of today’s most well known authors. she’s signed strict nda’s and binding contracts that will never allow her to spill the truth about the new york time’s bestseller she just write but knowing the success of her literature is rewarding enough. it allows her to live a life expressing herself as a successful writer and maintain normalcy in some twisted, modern way. but sometimes the secrecy does get old.

elisa ianthe oliveira ! 28, bisexual, university student. ( camila mendes. ) double majoring in history and musical theatre, typical indecisive elisa, she also works part-time at the local museum and writes it off for extra credit. her parents are both mega history nerds and she was raised with dates and folklore being shoved down her throat constantly. she’s blunt, dry, and hard to tell if she’s having a good time, but tends to be fun to hang out with. soothingly genuine and keeps her private life private. but once you crack her intriguing interior, you truly do unlock another level to elisa, and she has no problem being her true self around you. it just might take awhile to get there.

flynn arlo kapoor ! 35, bisexual, museum director. ( rahul kohli. ) he’s a first generation immigrant to parents who own a restaurant and work their ass off to make flynn’s life incredible and provide all the opportunities they can for him. and he hasn’t fucked up those opportunities. he finished grad school summa cum laude and was offered a position running a museum right out of school, which was his dream, so he quickly took it. he’s a big family guy and momma’s boy, and he made sure the new job was close by so he could always support his parents whenever they let him. family means everything to him, and he easily puts anyone he befriends genuinely into that catagory as well.

ingrid dorothea langley !  26, pansexual, noblewoman. ( alicia vikander. ) much like emily dickenson, ingrid knew she was meant for more. meant for greatness. she lives every moment to it’s fullest and embraces every wild and weighty emotion she experiences. she’s full on all the time, and tends to be an open book. her sexuality is hushed in the times they live in, but she won’t ever not follow her heart where it leads. she’s optimistic and looks for the best in people and situations, and journals just about every moment in her life. she’s determined to never live a dull moment.

peyton celeste kimura ! 22, queer, ballet student. ( kaylee bryant. ) focused is the best word to describe peyton. she’s always lived in her sisters shadow, from attending the same school to now living up to her quite infamous career, peyton does everything she can to be better. ballet is her life and she doesn’t let anything or anyone get in the way of her success. she’s insanely naturally gifted in the arts, but with the way she trains, you know that she has always doubted just how good she is. very hard on herself, never gives herself a break, and lets few people in. but cares deeply when she does.

malia beckett dixon ! 34, bisexual, director. ( tessa thompson. ) malia truly knows what it’s like to find fame in a small town, having gotten ‘discovered’ her senior year of high school by a wealthy talent scout. she was swept away and appropriately funded to make her first indie film on a professional level, and hasn’t stopped producing award-winning films since then. she’s humble and emotional and uniquely in tune with who she is as a person and an artist. fame hasn’t gotten to her head but she does tend to get buried in her work and lose track of her personal life and relationships because of it.

marguerite “marty” alejandra gallardo ! 30, lesbian, social worker. ( eiza gonzales. ) having loving parents who died at a young age, marty was left to fend for herself and her younger sister while they grew up in the system. living through it, she decided to take on a career that could help out and change children’s lives for the better, while also fostering a healthier life for her and her sister. she is an internally emotional person, and finds it hard to bottle up her feelings as much as she would like. she’s intelligent and her sister is her world, she would never let anything happen to her.

sabina ines caldeira ! 21, pansexual, university student and heiress. ( alba baptista. ) raised in europe to wealthy parents who made their fortune off the vineyard she grew up on, sabine is the epitome of aesthetic spanish summers spent wine drunk and lusting for freedom. she’s pursuing life outside of that fantasy while going to school before having to learn the family business. luckily she loves the empire she will one day be taking over. free spirited and naive, she seems like you could walk all over her, but you might want to think twice about that.

siena anne norwood ! 28, pansexual, vampire. ( florence pugh. ) she was turned in the height of the tudor era, a place where she sat on the king’s lap and thrived in court, but she wronged someone in power who targetted her as their next victim. the feeding didn’t go as planned and siena ended up becoming a vampire, and honestly prefers this life to her former one. she’s old and strong and much smarter and conniving than she lets on. she loves to fuck around and mess with people and has only met few who actually impact her life. truly little remorse for her actions.

sebastian anthony hernandez ! ( nathan wallace — repo the genetic opera ) 28, heterosexual, repo man. ( sean teale. ) he works for a mysterious employer who sebastian only met when they made a mysterious donation for his heart surgery. the anonymous donor saved his life and pays well, so he doesn’t complain. he has a two year old daughter who isn’t in his custody to provide for and does whatever her can to make sure she’s always taken care of no matter how shitty the job. he doesn’t let anyone close to him for fear they will get hurt and he’s upset he can’t let anyone know his full self.
