you and I are made of worm-eaten wood

Virginia Elwood. Human. 38. Animal Husbandry.

Devoid of religion, Virginia is a woman of revived faith and humanity. She helps when she’s called, battling bitterness to be the woman she deserves to be and still swallowing her own resentment.  A hardworking pair of hands; old enough to be wise, young enough to be perpetually learning - she’s exactly who she needs to be right now and it took decades for her to find that sort of footing. Excultist, ex-wife to one of their patriarchs, long presumed dead. The salt of the earth that starves bigotry and withers hate in exchange for living beyond the brimstone.

The Elwood Siblings, counting 1 - 2 - 3. 
All of them witches, courteousy of their late mother, Amadi. Only recently bereft of their loving father, the stalwart, Braxton Elwood - their reunion is sure to be a convergence even the whippoorwill and mealy worm will notice. Each of them, practitioners and playwrights of their own destiny, were scattered to amass success, rear their own families, and chase magnificence that Magnolia’s pinching territory might’ve denied them. But they each loved their father and honored their mother… and something has wronged them both. Answers, regrets, lost time and touch. Missing pages, stolen grimoires, a wretched disrespect. Did they think the children too far gone, too worldly to care if someone spat upon a dusty, old man’s porch? They were wrong. 
Suggested playbys are Lupita Nyong'o (38), Damson Idris (30), & Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (35) Discord: heketi#5031

Once upon a prickling, bone-bleaching summer, Jethro Carlisle Fellows was nearly run out of town for being just about the worst goddamn dentist the county had ever been cursed to know. Before that he'd been fired twice from the general store, thrown out of the watering hole for drinking the still and passed from hand to hand until his addled head spun. The only person who ever gave him the time of day was his own poor wife, Zelda, who'd been cheated by some fickle feint to get paired up with a man like him. Eventually, out of grace or just because they were tired, someone threw him a shovel and put him to work digging holes. Digging graves. And that was that in the summer of 1902.

Four generations later and the Fellows are still the funeral folk of Magnolia with each head of the household making it more respectable than the last. The current director, Henry Fellows, is a magnanimous and respected man, father of three (mostly) untroubled children and a boon to the community. If only Jethro could see those pretty pews, silvery candelabras and tasteful velvets. Then again, maybe he does - what with the Old Fellows Funeral Services in such proximity of the cemetery. Maybe that's him whistling now.
