❛ oh, an anonymous tip, there's no contest. the intrigue, the drama, the mystery? i don't think any other way would be half as fun. ❜ he quirks a brow expectantly, like he already knows that lucia would share the sentiment, before laughing in a way that neither confirmed nor denied her question. ❛ well that would be telling, wouldn't it? ❜

❀ you’re not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed BOONE MCKENNA walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who HE is ? they kind of look like AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON and i could be wrong but i think that they might be THIRTY SEVEN years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last SIXTEEN YEARS, ON AND OFF. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of MARK SLOAN from GREY'S ANATOMY. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working FREELANCE as a WRANGLER. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the RENEGADE of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty GAMOPHOBIC at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty BEWITCHING to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that TWO BEDROOM apartment beside me over in OCEAN'S LANDING 420. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you! psd credit.
trigger warnings: parental neglect tw, death tw, toxic relationship tw, deadbeat dad alert.
★ statistics.
full name: william boone mckenna. nickname(s): boone. age: thirty seven. date of birth: 25th november. star sign: sagittarius. sexual orientation: heterosexual. romantic orientation: heteroromantic. hometown: belleview, florida. occupation: wrangler. ethnicity: white. nationality: american. inspo: mark sloan (grey's anatomy), balthier (final fantasy xii), oliver queen (dc).
★ personality.
a complicated mess of contradictions, boone is a loud mouth wrapped up in infinite charm. he has no qualms about stepping into a fight to protect a stranger, yet at the same time has no issue starting the fight himself. he detests any sort of social injustice, always willing to fight for the little guy, yet seems personally wrapped up in old-fashioned ideals of what it means to be a man, not willing to let himself cry or be vulnerable, even though he has no judgement towards those that do. he talks straight, telling you how it is, yet at the same time he's manipulating every facet of the conversation. at work, he's slick and sharp, never taking his eye off the ball, not even for a moment. he's one of the best in the business, respected for his craft, and called in by people all over the states who need a wrangler who knows best… and yet off the clock he's a rambunctious, impulsive thrill-seeker who can't say no, driven almost entirely by instinct. these kind of contradictions cross over into his personal life, where he loves deeply and passionately, but seems entirely incapable of showing it. he'd put his life on the line for his loved ones, his daughter especially, yet he can't commit to being in her life for more than a few months at a time. he's the most loyal friend you could ever have, the one who will answer the call at 3am and be there in five minutes, but there's an equal chance he won't be around to answer the call in the first place. boone brings a fire to every room he walks into, a spark to every conversation he takes part in, and a pull that feels equal parts magnetic and dangerous.
★ biography.
i. belleview is a place where the summer sweat persists into winter and the buzz of flies has become a persistent background hum. william boone mckenna was born in november, though the humidity didn't take much notice of the creeping winter season, and his first cries on earth were muffled by the high humidity and lingering cigarette smoke that clung to his father's clothes.
ii. it didn't take long until that nicotine-laced smell and his first name were the only things he had left to remember his father by. boone was six when he watched his mother move a chair from the kitchen to face the front door, just in case. he remembers asking her to draw with him, pleading ‘look at what i made, mama!’ only for it to fall on deaf ears. she was waiting for a man who would never come home, someone relegated to memory, she just didn't want to accept it yet.
iii. boone's entire childhood was filled with a revolving door of ‘father figures’. in his mother's defense she did, truly, love them all, and each one was introduced as his new ‘daddy’. boone clued in early on, perhaps around the fourth or fifth, that this was going to be a pattern for his mother, who would never recover from the broken heart his father has left her to deal with, so he detached himself from the situation. stopped believing the false promises and fresh start ideology, and instead became nonchalant towards each new face. until hank.
iv. hank was a cowboy, but somehow much cooler than the ones an eight year old boone had seen on television. the first time he'd asked if boone wanted to go on a ride, he'd shrugged him off, thinking hank would be gone in two weeks and it'd just be another promised experience he never got to have… but then boone's birthday came, and hank was still there. not only was he there, he'd bought boone his very own set of shiny new hot wheels. thanksgiving and christmas felt like a celebration for the first time in a long time, an in the first week of january boone finally agreed to go on that ride, and it changed his life forever.
v. he became enamoured with horses and the outdoors. not only did he enjoy spending the time with hank, he felt a freedom he'd never felt before. the sun on his skin, the dirt under his fingernails, the sound of crickets in the parched grass. it felt like he'd found a meaning, a purpose... and a father figure.
vi. boone was only fifteen when hank died. he'd collapsed on the ranch one morning, having always gotten there earlier than everyone else, and he wasn't found until hours later… and that was it. he was gone. he never walked back through their front door, never guffawed that awful laugh of his at the television, never sneaked boone another sip of his beer at the dinner table when his mom's back was turned. boone's mom moved a chair to face the front door again, but she never sat in it. she didn't get out of bed much after that, really.
vii. he coped the only way he knew how. he spent as much time as he could outside, away from the house. he fell asleep under the stars wherever he could and was awoken with the sound of a shotgun many a time, he showed up to work four hours early and left two hours late, he slipped into bars and diners and discovered that, with enough charm and the right smile, he could convince anyone to let him stay anywhere. and that was better than being at home. he never officially left, just never went home again.
viii. at twenty one, he began wandering every now and again into palmview grove, where he eventually met sadie kalinski. at first glance, boone was completely and utterly enamoured with sadie, and told her just as much. he promised her the earth and everything in it, put rings made of flowers and grass on her fingers and described under the stars the life they would lead together. much like his mother all those years before, boone genuinely believed he loved sadie. he genuinely believed all of this and more would happen.
ix. but sadie was strong, she was on a journey that boone hadn't realised he was incapable of accompanying her on. as the days went by, she grew taller and he found himself resentful, ashamed, perhaps even scared, but those emotions only came out as distance and days long disappearances. he wasn't ready for the life sadie was leading but he didn't want to lose her, so they fell into a toxic routine of him promising to be better and never following through. even the arrival of daisy mae, their beautiful daughter, wasn't enough for boone to change. and so sadie kicked him to the curb for good, like a good parent should.
x. he's spent the six years since daisy mae's birth drifting in and out of palmview, scattering more promises he can't keep but never directly to his daughter, thanks to sadie's strict boundaries. lately though, he can't seem to sleep at night. can't shake the guilt from his shoulders or the weariness from his bones, even after a night at the bar or when sharing the bed of a stranger. his latest job has brought him right to sadie and daisy mae's door step, a bit more permanently this time – and he can't help but feel like this is his last chance to get it right.
★ extras.
i. boone's latest wrangling job is for some big hollywood movie he didn't care to ask the name of, he just knows there's horses, lizards, and a couple of dogs involved, and that's more than enough for him. he's taken on all sorts of jobs since he was sixteen – working on ranches, movie sets, reptile removal, etcetera. he's a jack of all trades, in that regard, and is highly respected in the industry. his heart always lies with ranches and horses, however. ii. boone's taken part in a couple of rodeo competitions in his time and walked away with a fair few trophies, though it's strangely not something he openly brags about. he's not ashamed, but in a strange way that part of his life feels oddly intimate when it's nothing to do with work. he'll talk to you for hours about the ins and outs of equine care, ranching, rodeo, and the like, but his own achievements are kept quiet. in truth, it's because part of him never got to share them with hank, and he doesn't think anyone else deserves to hear it. iii. he's a high school drop out, having left home when he was around 16/17, who never made an effort to get his ged. it's part of his stubborness, now, that he doesn't have one, and is entirely unwilling to even give the process a try. after all, he's made it this far. likes: horses (obviously), high budget action movies, camping out under the stars, light beer, country music that isn't about america, dive bars, collecting matchbooks, energy drinks, boxing, going with the flow. dislikes: smoking, being kept indoors, black tie events, the ocean, texting, talking about his family, flying, small spaces, christmas.
★ counterpart inspired plots.
i. his derek – his best friend, his confidant, his oldest pal… and, on ocassion, his favourite enemy. these two have known each other for years and it shows, having recovered from blistering fights and always somehow reuniting stronger than ever. you could say this is boone's most successful relationship, and derek is acutely aware of that. he's much more put together than boone, possibly even with a family of his own, and he knows his best friend is capable of being a decent guy… he just has to want it. ii. his jackson – boone is a terrible father, that much is true, but when he doesn't have the pressure of that title, he's not a terrible mentor. a younger person in the same industry or something adjacent who's come to look at boone as someone he'd like to emulate, at least work-wise. over time, jackson is going to realise boone may be good at what he does, but he's got a lot of shit going on, and maybe jackson could teach him just as much as boone can teach them. a mutual respect working relationship that'll mature into a proper friendship over time.
★ other wanted plots.

❛ maybe. do you believe in love at first sight? ❜ corinne was incredibly receptive to flirting, shallow or otherwise. it didn't really make a difference to somebody like her, who saw every display of affection as sincere and meaningful. ❛ you should come and say hi after the show next time, i could introduce you to the other mermaids. ❜
“are you trying to hint at something … LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, perhaps ? i could play prince charming for a night.” and only for one night – any more time spent with brett would send someone running for the hills. he snaps his fingers as she mentions her place of work. “that's it ! incredible work in the tank. big fan, personally.”

❛ no, no… ❜ he begins, reassurance already lacing his tone as he mirrored the way nell moved around her art work. he came to the art district to look at beautiful things when he was sad… or mad… or hungry. any negative emotion, really. ❛ take a step back from it for a moment, here. ❜ he motioned to where he was stood, stepping aside to make space for her. ❛ maybe you've spent too long looking at it up close? ❜
location : mango bay art district , 14:32pm. status : utp , @seasalteds.
" something's missing. " she muttered to self , head tilted as she examined the sculpture before her — it wasn't perfect , it wasn't ready and that frustrated her more than anything. lithe digits covered in clay , apron a royal mess of dried colour and grey as she walked around it to thoroughly investigate it. " this is actually RIDICULOUS. " she sighed , a little dramatic but she was so close to just throwing the towel in.

❛ we spend all of our time in the womb floating, swimming, really. it's our natural state of being. whenever i'm in the water, i feel like i've just returned to where i belong. ❜ she'd just finished her shift, but her eyes watched the children's swimming lesson with a far off sadness, a vision of something that felt so far from her reach. she turned to shak with a fond smile, no indication of the turmoil beneath. ❛ she's a natural, but it's normal to worry. for what it's worth, i think you're doing a pretty good job of remaining chill. ❜
location : ocean's edge pool , 11:14am. status : corinne , @seasalteds.
morning at the pool was a mix of stress - inducing and tranquility , watching his daughter learn to swim gave him palpitations each time she didn't resurface but he managed to stop himself from leaving his seat — already warned a few times before , he didn't want to be seen as a problem or worse — a helicopter parent , but xana's death was still so fresh despite being two years ago and he couldn't risk losing lola , too. " any tips or advice on how to remain chill while watching ? " he asks nearby lifeguard , she didn't seem to be on duty yet so he hoped it was appropriate to talk to her.

❛ you can have anything you want today, my treat. ❜ there's a part of him that thinks he might regret those words, but he knows mila, knows her heart – not only would she not seek to bankrupt him ( on purpose ), but she was in serious need of some retail therapy, and it was the least he could do to try and distract her from kenny's departure. ❛ is there anything you've had your eye on? if you can't find anything here, we can head somewhere else. ❜ he makes sure to keep his tone as nonchalant as possible as he wanders through the store, eyes glancing over all the beautiful things as he waits for her reply. it would be unbecoming to mention what had happened unless she did first, so he simply made sure to make himself available as a shoulder to lean on, should she need it.

lark's knuckles knock against the familiar front door a curt, three times, as if she were already trying to put emotional space inbetween her and the man inside. she didn't know why she was here, really, it was a blurry decision made by one too many sleepless nights and a growing dislike of her own company… but still, she'd called a cab, not even knowing if he would be here. though she knew really, didn't she? knew him far better than she'd like to admit. when the door opened, her composure didn't falter, not for a second, though a very small part of her wanted it to. she just watched him expectantly, gaze firmly fixed on him as if she were analysing his reaction, maybe waiting for him to do something that would justify her turning around and leaving... but before he could do any of that, she spoke. ❛ are you going to invite me in? ❜

lux had entirely avoided the vinyl store until now. she hadn't even wanted to pick up an instrument again until she met kai, having genuinely thought she'd live out the rest of her life in a self-imposed musical isolation, yet here she was, thumbing through the merchandise in an effort to rebuild her lost collection. if she was going to be in this band, she needed to do it right. she needed to be at the top of her game. she needed… a fucking distraction, to be honest. especially after what had happened outside the radio station. she approached the front desk in a haze, trying her best to shake the film from her vision in an effort to approach the clerk like a normal, functional human being. perhaps that's why she hadn't noticed until it was too late, until she looked up to say ' just these, please ' and instead found herself face to face with the last person she'd ever expected to see. the last person she wanted to see. ❛ cleo? ❜

❛ shit! ❜ clark's sudden and unexpected backflip pulled a more emotive than usual response from lux, who moved towards him in an attempt to assess the damage. ❛ do you have a death wish? i didn't think you'd actually do it… come on, we need to get you to the hospital. ❜ she glanced at his arm, not very subtly. ❛ now. ❜

it's almost a relief when lux hears janky cgi, thinking, if nothing else, she'll have something decent to laugh at for about ninety minutes. diligently, she nodded along as she listened to tabby list off all of the positives for the film. ❛ you really love this scooby doo guy, huh? ❜ but even in spite of her skeptical tone, she climbed into the passenger seat readily, oddly invested now in seeing what all the fuss was about.
"Yay! Oh, we're going to have so much fun." She cheered, grabbing Lux's arm and dragging her towards her car. "The live action has some janky CGI but I think that adds to the charm and there's some fun adult humor and it's sweet to know that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr are married and Velma's a fucking smokeshow and..." Tabby rambled as they approached her car. Quickly moving her stuff out of the passenger seat, she patted the seat twice for Lux. "Okay, hop in and get ready for silliness."
