Sami was on the phone, a cup of to-go coffee in one hand, when someone he didn't notice interrupted him. At first, he was a little annoyed. Who would be so inconsiderate as to interrupt a phone call? It was misdirected annoyance, really. He was actually more annoyed about the phone call. Sami had made sure to process the most important documents for his current case, but for some reason, which he believes is the intern being unprofessional, a lot of those documents are nowhere to be found. It was the third time this week. Sami understood that break-ups tend to get messy but that same intern should keep her personal life separate from her professional one. He couldn't understand why some people are more sentimental than practical. It irked Sami to no end. A few seconds passed from the stranger asking for his help to Sami finally realizing that his help was genuinely needed. "I'll call you back." At first glance, the woman seemed fine to Sami but his instincts kicked in and he was quick to notice something was up with her. Sami liked to believe he was more stone-cold than empathic, and maybe he really is, but he never failed to help someone in need. Maybe it was just him being superior. Sure. Let's go with that. "Oh, sure," he got both the pen and the notebook from the ground and handed them to the woman. "Are you okay? Do you need anything else?"

It was too much, Renata had pushed herself too far after having felt good that morning and stepping out to get some much needed errands done. It was nice to venture out on her own when she could get away with it, not that she minded her mother’s company. Though now, with Renata’s shopping done, prescriptions picked up, a stop at the bookstore, and a visit with her editor, she paused in her step along the downtown side walk. As the day had worn on, she had felt more and more tired and her body had been slowing down. Now, Renata was feeling an uncomfortable arrhythmia in her chest, hand moved up and fingers settled over her pacemaker —- knowing better than to panic she breathed deep as she cast her eyes down at the sidewalk. Completely unbothered by the small notebook with her needs of things to be done and pen dropping to the ground and scattering steps away, her voice was quiet as she spoke up to a passerby, “Hey, excuse me, could you…” Her words halted a moment as a light pang moved through her chest. “— could you assist me for a moment? Could you grab that pen and little notebook for me? It’s rather important…”

“Hey,” Sami walked in on Jessica and her son as he zoomed past him. He followed the kid with his eyes, grinning at the idea of being that young again. It had been a long time since Sami enjoyed that kind of freedom. He misses it at times. “You guys need any help?” 

             ‘ Y I K E S !! ‘ the woman exclaimed , quickly grabbing the decoration that was soon about to slip from her grip . balancing again on the ladder , she narrowed her eyes at her son who was wrapping himself in all the spooky decorations . ‘ AYE !no!! you’re gonna tangle up everything again !!! ‘ she warned , ready to crawl back down the ladder to apprehend her troublemaker of an offspring . ‘ why don’t you do this for mommy . why don’t you … ‘ she looked around , ‘ stick all of these on the outside of the elevator . ‘ she grinned , pointing at the nearest one before shaking her head . ‘ —— KIDS . what would the world be like without them . ‘

Sami smirked, finding the brunette’s story quite amusing. On any given day, he wouldn’t have time for this kind of chatter. Sami liked to drown himself in his work. It was a good distraction from the many things that troubled him. Unfortunately, he had been putting off having coffee with the actress for a week now. Something inside him felt guilty for no reason, and so he finally agreed to get this over with. “Maybe you should sue that sales associate,” Sami let out a chuckle. “Or better yet, sue the entire business. You can even pay me with an autograph!”

“You know what’s really inconvenient sometimes” the brunette mused. Of course, there was a lot that she could label as inconvenient or irritating; loud chewing noises, traffic, the man who relentlessly hit on her at her favorite coffee shop… However, there was only one thing in particular called out to Lorelai today. “Being five feet tall. I know I romanticize my height all the time, but it becomes an inconvenience when you need to reach the only box of Cheerios on the top shelf. A sales associate saw my embarrassing struggle, came over to help me, and and poked fun at me by calling me Shortcake. As if I didn’t know I was already small…”

sami says hello!

[timekeeperjones-blog]

The frustration was clear on Sami’s face. He heaved a deep sigh, resting the side of his face and chin on one palm, as he scrolled down the document he was reading on his laptop. Work has always been easy for him, but the past few days, the disappointment of another failed date, made everything a bit too hard for him to get a handle on. His concentration was terrible. This was not something he wanted to happen. “What the hell am I going to do?! This isn’t working out! None of this is working! UGH!”

“Not again,” Sami frowned at his fellow lawyer. He fished a twenty out of his coat’s pocket, and sighing, handed it over. He raised an eyebrow as he took a gulp of his expensive coffee. “You really need to stop wasting your time with unnecessary things, Iggy. Don’t you have a case to work on right now?”

There were few things Iggy hated to do, but asking for money was one of them. It wasn’t something that he ever had to do often–except now. As he stood there, empty pockets and a lot of hatred for the crane machine that had taken all his money. “Hey!” he yelled, “fuck you too!” He kicked at the machine before noticing someone nearby. “Shit, sorry, I was talking to the machine.” He paused. “Hey, you wouldn’t happen to have like twenty bucks on you? It’s for a good cause, I swear.”

“You’re new,” Sami was as blunt with his observation as he was blatant with his decision to ignore the man’s request. From the looks of him, he survived one heck of a war. Impressive. What’s even more impressive if this was something that could work for Sami’s favor. “You look like hell,” Sami took a business card from his shirt pocket, smirking at the man’s boldness before handing it to him. “If you ever want to sue hell, you’ll know who to call.”

“ will you please stop staring at me . it’s really not that bad. “  he told as he pressed the button for his floor.  clayton didn’t even make eye contact with the person next to him. he had already knew that they were staring at the black eye he had , the bruises present , and the busted lip.  he turned his head quickly and glared at them. “ also whatever your thinking , say it to my face. “ he said bitterly as he was not having the best day.  clayton had just lost his match and five hundred dollars.

Sami raised an eyebrow at the sound of Cassie’s voice. He’s seen the doctor around but has never gotten the opportunity to talk to her. Not that he needed or wanted one. It was just customary, perhaps, considering she’s been around since he moved here. Sami smirked at the sound of the dryer door getting slammed. “Maybe you should tell them that,” Sami took out a business card from his pocket. “And if this continues again, maybe you and I can get together. Professionally.”

“ who does this?!” cassie cried out with exasperation. someone took her clothes out of the dryer mid-cycle….again. she picked up her damp pile of clothes and threw them in another dryer. “i wish these stupid things came with locks” she said and slammed the door shut, putting more quarters into the machine.

MEET SAMI JONES

Hello there! I’m Joe. I’m looking forward to plotting with you all.

━━━ dev patel, twenty seven, cismale ↷ sami jones has been living in wisteria apartments as a lawyer for three years. during that time he has earned the reputation of the timekeeper. it makes sense you know, they can be judgmental and overly analytical. but let’s not forget they’re pretty independent and open-minded. ( 8 & 909 ) ( joe. 27. he/him. gmt+8 )

So Sami is basically an INTJ Aquarius character. He’s more about logic and reason, which is going to be quite fun in an rp about relationships. :)) Bullet time!

Born the eldest child and only son of hardworking immigrant parents, his father died when he was twelve and his mother remarried.

Sami loves his younger sister, Samandra, even though she pursued her love for the culinary instead of a more practical field like law or anything medical.

Sami and Samandra grew up traveling from place to place, living with relative to relative, until Sami was already in high school. Their parents couldn’t afford their own place until then.

Sami has been in only three romantic relationships, most of which surviving only because his partners were as patient with him as they could be.

Sami’s first girlfriend was Keira, a bespectacled perfectionist who had consistently high grades. They got together in high school and lasted until the last day of high school. Sami broke up with her when he had to leave for another city to study in university.

Sami’s second girlfriend was Elise, a photography enthusiast. Their romance started when Elise took a photo of Sami in the library. They broke up when he graduated university. As with Keira, Sami left Elise for another city.

It took a long while before Sami had his third girlfriend, Billie, a part-time model and full-time pastry chef who had her own cafe. Sami like Billie because she a gorgeous manic pixie dream girl. He broke up with her to concentrate on his professional life.

Sami is somewhat of a recluse, preferring to be alone than to be with people. He’s cool with one-on-one meet-ups like in a cafe but feels drained when he has to entertain a lot of people outside of his profession. Needless to say, Sami is an introvert.

Sami has depression. Despite his depression being recurrent, he can still function to the best of his abilities, mostly when it comes to work. The downside, though, is that when he’s depressed but still functional, he can barely feel any enjoyment of what he’s doing. It’s all just routine for him.

This is what I have for Sami so far. I’m sure more things will be discovered and established in the long run. So excited to be a part of this.
