Kat’s smile faltered, but only slightly. It must’ve been stupid of her to think that a free coffee could bury whatever hatchet Brinley kept for her. There was always something there and the blonde felt herself wanting to give in. But she couldn’t be rude, she didn’t have that luxury. “Do I look like the kind of person who’d spit in someone’s coffee?” After she asked the question, Kat realised she probably didn’t want the answer, especially not from someone who made no illusion about hating her. Regardless, Kat let out dry laugh before shaking her head and holding the coffee out. “No bodily fluids, scout’s honor.” 

😈

She raised an eyebrow - honestly, Brinley had learned long ago that the most dangerous ones were those who looked the most innocent, and everything about Kat screamed climber who’d do what it took to get to the top, but she shrugged - it wouldn’t be the first time Brin was wrong about someone. “In that case, thank you. Sorry they fucked up your order - I think we need new people in the cafe in general. I waited like, an hour for a plain coffee the other day and it was not even that busy. Pretty sure they need to start like, actually vetting the people who wanna work there because it’s just wannabe actresses who don’t have a brain cell in their head.”

“ that’s because i am right, ” isaac retorts. “ the best 90s song is all star by smash mouth, and that’s all there is to it. also, i would totally be here without the beatles, they were just a bunch of generally unpleasant british dudes making terrible music. ” the british musicians isaac is willing to give credit to can be counted on one hand, and the beatles sure as hell aren’t on that list. “ you go anywhere in public and start singing a mariah carey song that isn’t ‘all i want for christmas’ and see how well people know the lyrics. whereas anyone can sing along to all star, and it was in shrek. ”  

😈

“you’re right, how dare i underestimate the giant green ogre,” brin replied mockingly. “and for the record, there are so many classics. ‘fantasy’ - a bop. ‘one sweet day’ with boys ii men? still a jam. i regularly blast it while i’m driving. smash mouth had one good song because of a decent movie, but mariah carey put out hits until the mid 2000s, and had nick cannon’s baby. i’m not saying that’s a good thing, but like - the woman has game, and you gotta respect it. besides, everyone knows the best song from shrek is ‘hallelujah’ anyways.”

joaquin-herrera​:

“cowboys are still cool, right?” joaquin slipped the cowboy hat on and turned to look in the mirror. it was the first time he was getting to see the completed costume for his latest movie in person and while the script wasn’t oscar worthy, he was excited to have some fun with his role, it gave him a chance to play up his texan accent as well. “seriously, they’re coming back into fashion, yeah? i don’t look like a total fucking idiot?” he turned to face his companion, holding his arms out so they could get a good look at his outfit. “give it to me straight.”

😈

brinley was definitely not a stylist, or a costume designer - but her latest talent wanted to move into the acting field, and a friend had agreed to let her shadow so she could get the ropes and still keep her own client. honestly, it was a lot more fun than being in a smelly locker room full of skates and trying to decipher threats in russian. “i mean, my brother would have been a cowboy if he could have pulled off the hat,” she agreed with a grin, “unfortunately, he’s like, a twig, and it would have tipped him over. you look damn good, though - i might even be inclined to see this movie now.”

minji snorts, peeking around to where the barista stood — the café was crowded, for sure, but she’s almost positive that she’s seen a few customers receive their coffees before her. “look,” she replies, pointing at the person who just walked past them. “didn’t they order after us?” minji is used to being forgotten, passed away to the wayside, but she drew the line at coffee. 

😈

“maybe if i set something on fire, we can get our drinks faster,” she mused aloud, wondering if she had a lighter in her bag to make it happen. “going to jail for arson might be worth it - i bet the cops could get me a coffee faster than this.” she sighed, the caffeine withdrawal already weighing on her. “what’s your afternoon look like? if you don’t have to deal with an angry canadian hockey player being passed over by adidas for a sponsorship, i’ll trade you. maybe you’ll have better luck than i do explaining that he doesn’t have enough teeth to be marketable.”

“I don’t suppose you’d be wanting a free coffee, would you?” she accosted a random passerby with a bright smile and held up the spare large takeaway coffee. “They got my order wrong and told me I could keep it but I don’t drink cow’s milk. I’d hate for it to go to waste. Could you take it off my hands?”

😈

Oh, this was cruel. Really, the universe was taunting her - a free coffee, but from Sunshine Barbie? It was almost sadistic, and she was gonna have some words with whoever constructed these events to happen. “You didn’t like, spit in it, did you?” she asked hesitantly - the two of them might not have been at each others throats like some of the others were in this building, but Kat was always so damn smiley that Brin just....could not trust her. “I’ll still drink it, but like....I like to be prepared before I swallow someone else’s bodily fluids.”

“ shut the fuck up, you know i’m right, ” isaac says, somehow maintaining his usual casual tone without losing the heat behind the words. he leans back in his chair, face scrunching up in annoyance. “ in what world would that actually be true. ”

😈

“you always think you’re right,” brinley argued back, rolling her eyes as she sipped on her iced coffee. her boss would probably murder her for arguing with one of the members of the agency’s biggest boy band, but she never really cared. “if you wanna talk ‘best songs of the 90s’, you have to include mariah carey. it’s criminal not to. it’s like saying the beatles weren’t influential - they may have sucked, but you wouldn’t be here without ‘em.”

“Yeah I wouldn’t go out there if I was you.” Dean mused, jutting his chin towards the door in question. “Or do, just don’t say I didn’t try to warn you.” 

“Where’s the fun in that?” Brin asked with a grin, “I thought we came here to party, not to be lame. Are you chickening out on me now?”

“how long have you been waiting?” minji turns to the person next to her, grimacing. “i swear to god it’s been like an hour since i got here.” 

“oh about...” she glanced at her watch, frowning a little, “seventeen and a half years now?” patience had never been a virtue she’d been great at, and though she knew the barista was trying her best, she needed to be better. “i didn’t realize you needed a rocket scientist to work in a cafe now. i could have flown my own coffee in from brazil faster.”

        ↬ her mentor    ☯ ________________________________

growing up, brin never had much motivation. in fact, she had never intended to find a ‘career’ for herself - much less such a high pressure one. while she loves her job, more days than not she’s also a moment away from quitting - P YOUR MUSE ] can see her potential, however, and helps motivate her to keep going.  

          mentor is open for connections - any gender / age / faceclaim

       ↬ her roommates    ☯ ________________________________

living in los angeles isn’t exactly easy on the purse strings, even for those working at the top talent agency in the city. sharing expenses is just about the only way she can afford a semi-decent place. together with three others who move in almost a pack like formation, brin’s found something like a family in her roommates - which makes it a little easier to sleep at night. 

         roommates are open for connections - any gender / age / faceclaim                          [ 3 / 3 spaces available ] 

      ↬ her bestie    ☯ ________________________________

the ying to her yang, her other half - brin and [ YOUR MUSE ] have stuck together the four years she’s been in los angeles, and it’s like they’ve known each other their whole lives. they know all of brinley’s deep dark secrets ( even the worst ones she tries to keep quiet ) and in return, brinley knows all of theirs. they keep her balanced, level headed - and most importantly, keep her from blowing her entire world up when the mood strikes, bringing a much needed soft presence to her life. 

        bestie is open for connections - any gender / age / faceclaim

     ↬ her fun buddy    ☯ ________________________________

dating has never really worked out well for brinley; there was her childhood boyfriend, whom she still has tattooed on her body, and a smattering of other hearts over the years. and while she’s sworn off men, a girl has needs - something [ YOUR MUSE ] is fine with providing. they keep things casual, platonic strictly until the clothes come off, even if sometimes brinley gets jealous when they talk to other girls. 

       fun buddy is open for connections - any age / faceclaim, males preferred 

    ↬ unknown half sibling    ☯ ________________________________

to say that brinley had a bad relationship with her mother was an understatement - the woman left within a year of giving birth to her and her brother, and left them with a monster who reminded brinley that she looked just like her for the rest of her life. it’s no surprise she has no idea she’s got another sibling out there - she never bothered to look up what her mother was doing after she left nowhere, illinois - and running into a half sibling in los angeles was the last thing she expected. 

      unknown half sibling is open for connections - any gender / faceclaim under the age of 28

small bio //

brinley has never spent a moment alone in her life. the second of two twins, she arrived minutes after her brother - but even from the very beginning, though they were inseparable, they were miles apart. a unique situation - two embryos from two different fathers - something her birth father never let her brother forget.  while they  had a small collection of friends in their small hometown, brin and brax knew they had to leave the second they could. brinley learned how to sling drinks and tattoo for cash, while brax went to school. brinley eventually caved, heading to a community college before finishing her degree in sports management - if she couldn’t be front and center as a swimmer anymore, she could at least channel all her anger and aggression onto people who could still make it.  though her brother’s across the country in new york now, the two living their own lives for the first time in - well, ever - brinley’s a big up and comer in the sports agency game. after signing a first draft pick for the los angeles rams, she’s managed to get a few of her hockey players into the limelight as well. now, she’s aiming to lose the ‘junior’ part of her agent title, and setting her sights on bigger and better talents. this is los angeles, after all, and if anyone can make it there, it’s sure as hell brinley.

She was not soft. She smelled like cigarettes, leather, and ground black coffee. And when you inhaled, she burned your lungs the way that made you want to do it again. She was danger, and you wanted her.
