[henleyelgin]

HENLEY ELGIN ( 23. CIS MAN. HE/HIM ) is here! They’ve lived in Asbury Park for 23 YEARS and are originally from ASBURY PARK, NJ. They are a DOORDASH DRIVER and in their downtime love OBSERVING TIDE POOLS and WATCHING HARRY DEAN STANTON'S FILMOGRAPHY. They look a lot like OWEN TEAGUE and live in SUNCREST. The song that makes people think of them the most is SEEN AND NOT SEEN BY THE TALKING HEADS.

THE BASICS:

FULL NAME: henley david elgin

NICKNAMES: hen, mother hen (family nickname), hard-on henley (high school was rough)

GENDER & PRONOUNS: cis man & he/him

AGE & BIRTHDAY: 23 & may 1, 2001

ZODIAC: ☼ taurus ☾ leo ↑ pisces

BIRTHPLACE: asbury park, nj

MBTI & ALIGNMENT: intp & lawful good

+ TRAITS: diligent, open-minded, steadfast, independent

- TRAITS: obsessive, repressed, cagey, scatterbrained

RESIDENCE: suncrest

OCCUPATION: doordash driver

LINKS: pinterest / playlist / tasks

BACKGROUND & DETAILS:

henley spent the majority of his childhood in foster care, bouncing from home to home all around jersey with very little stability or sense of routine. it wasn't until he was placed with the elgins that he was officially adopted, just shy of his thirteenth birthday.

he found himself to be temporarily the youngest (with three siblings older than him), but the elgins' propensity to foster and adopt continued on, making henley into a middle child before long. no one knows how it happened, but he took on the responsibility of head-counter in the family, often corralling his siblings for family outings and tying shoes or chasing down jackets before school. he definitely preened a little whenever they were complimented for being so well-behaved during sermon.

which, speaking of, the elgins are christian evangelicals. they're big on proselytizing and being active in the community - meaning: not only was every sunday spent at the church, but countless hours were devoted to volunteer work.

if henley wasn't into it, he never said a word. being welcomed into their household so warmly still somehow left him feeling as if he was walking a very precarious line; that if he didn't behave exactly right, then he'd lose his place. how much of that fear is genuine or learned from past foster home experiences, henley isn't sure (and he doesn't wanna examine it either, tbh), but its there and ingrained deeply that love is conditional.

he was very much Not Popular in high school if that wasn't already obvious.......

has a tendency to be kinda feral and awkward in most social situations, esp when abruptly put one on one with someone he doesn't know particularly well

literally him actually

henley worked summers at silverball retro arcade all throughout high school until his senior year when the owner accused him of stealing, like, a ton of money over the course of his employment. it caused quite the stir at the time, and its still unclear if he actually did it, since his parents swooped in to stop any legal action from being taken. was he let off the hook bc of his parents position in the community? was he falsely accused? who can say! henley def ain't making a peep <3

currently, he's a doordash driver with a great rating, he loves his night drives!

henley's also been taking classes at the local community college for the last year or so. he really has no outright goal or major in mind, but he's taking a lot of science-based courses (microbiology, botany, geology, etc) and more or less using it as an excuse to get space from his parents.

getting that space has led him to rent the basement mother-in-law suite from an old guy in suncrest. it took a couple weeks of living there for him to realize that he'd landed such a good deal bc the owner legit had dementia and kept confusing him for his grandson - oops! complex guilt has henley doing all the yard work and misc home repairs to make up for all the money he's saving. he's an honorary grandkid now 💕

he's a jersey native through and through, and at this point i think he's a little terrified of leaving the state at all.

like imagine that ep of iasip where they put charlie in the uhaul

fascinated by fungi and root systems and mold and spores, etc etc. like.. functional communication solely done through intertwined nervous systems? A DREAM SCENARIO

king of contradiction!! he's boasting on job applications that he can "go with the flow" but the truth is that he'll just agree with whoever he's with in the moment to keep the peace. big time fawner when it comes to conflict

had an insane edibles incident a little after his 21st bday where he wound up convinced he was a werewolf for like a solid 4 hours lmfao help the boy!!

loves cats sm, he's guilty of feeding strays down by the boardwalk

bee gees, beastie boys, and bjork - the 3 most important b's to henley

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

as always, i love dash chem 💖 i'm always down to go with the flow and hc after the fact, or even just dive into a random scenario and see where it takes us!!

family friends - anyone else who grew up on pine street or may know the elgins in whatever form!

people from high school - leaving this open to all sorts of fun connections ~ friends, distant admirers, bullies, ex-friends 👀, old lab partners, pretty much whatever ur heart desires.

neighbors - others who live in suncrest! maybe even the actual child or grandchild of the old man he's renting from lmao

an unrequited / secret crush - like i said, henley's socially inept and he's never had a girlfriend. very easily could see this as a secret admirer type sitch?? he's liable to be obsessive and weird abt it but it's just soooo easy to idealize someone u don't really know at all 😔

an internet gf - ok i know i just said henley's never had a gf before everyone knows the internet isn't real!! djekns there's a lot of ways this could go but i mostly just imagine it as someone he exchanges silly goofy messages with a lot. could be a catfish scenario? maybe they've never shared pics or maybe they know who he is irl and he doesn't realize? idk could be a fun reveal down the line!!

doordash regulars - OR even, a horrible awkward doordash delivery gone wrong <3 anything for a chaotic first meeting thread

bad influence - please please pleasepleaseplsea please palease

older siblings ? - i miiiiiight put in a wc for them at some point, but henley's 2 eldest siblings are the bio kids of his parents, whereas the one closest to him in age was also adopted. i imagine the other adopted sibling to be more outspoken and clash with the fam, maybe even left home quickly. there's a lot to explore between all their dynamics

First "official" day in the NYC area:

1) Brunch at The Cornerstone in New Jersey:

Everything I got was imply delicious. I didn't even get to try half the things this place has to off and I was completely full. To our pleasant surprise, they didn't charge for mimosas either. If you're ever in the area and looking for a buffet brunch, I can only recommend this place!

2) Silverball Retro Arcade

Finally got to try skee-ball and I only almost injured somebody once.. 😅😅😅 Hit three 50s in total, too.. 🙂

3) Monster mini golf:

So which ones were we, @jerzwriter? Lol. We both sucked about the same, so that was fun!

And this pic in the restroom was hilarious! 😂

11.07.21 An evening at the amazing Silverball Retro Pinball Arcade in Asbury Park NJ part two

[dannydevitoblog]

I wreck shit at Air Hockey.

Ya see that gremlin in the back?

I made him cry. Shot the puck right into his mouth, broke half his scrawny teeth. Shouldn't have fuckin' challenged me.

[reepakgugga]

Here is a place in Asbury Park that has major replay value, the Silverball Retro Arcade. Part museum, part arcade, and all fun. You pay a flat fee and you can try out classic games and pinball machines, all the way back to the wooden ones from the 1950’s. It’s a good thing I came over during the off season, otherwise the lines for these games would be unbearable. My biggest highlight was finally breaking the 200 barrier in Skee-ball, scoring 220. #silverballmuseum #asburypark #newjersey (at Silverball Retro Arcade Asbury) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj_3gfWu6ML/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What's the weirdest place someone has asked you to take them?

S: I guess one thing comes to mind. I guess it wasn’t *that* weird, but…

S: But one day he just sortof stopped showing up. ‘Till I was out driving around with my app online and I see a request nearby from a guy named Michael; two passengers going to Asbury Park. It was a little far, but I accept.

S: Turns out his friend’s name was Jeremy. They were both a little quiet, so eventually I asked Michael why he stopped going to the 7/11, and about his car.

S: Poor kid, oof. 

S: After a few more minutes, they started talking to each other, and then to me. They were headed to this one particular attraction in the Park called the Silverball Museum Arcade, an Arcade filled with pinball machines and stuff from the 60’s. I guess that’s not exactly *weird,* but, it’s not every day I see kids interested in checking out retro stuff. 

S: ……I’ve had far more weird customers than weird destinations. 

S: I was a little tempted to check out the park myself, since I had never actually been, but I noticed there was a decent surge area nearby (They pop up red on my Uber map thing; areas where demand for drivers is high so Uber actually raises faire prices, more money for me…) 

S: I spent a while around there, and actually ended up picking those two back up and taking them back to Michael’s place.

S: They’re good kids.
