AESTHETICS 1/?? — Living Arrangements

Cas has been moving across the country for the greater part of the last 60 years and he’s been living out of his Volkswagen Van for the very last few as he made his way from Southern California to Ashwick Valley. It’s the perfect way to remain off the radar and he particularly enjoys the simplicity of the life it allows. It also makes it easy to pick up and leave when he’s done in one place, changing one license plate to another, starting a new chapter. 

Things you can find in his van: • Full size bed and lots of comfy and warm comforters, a hammock and one too many pillows • Small kitchen and everything needed for a grill and a bonfire, including a fire extinguisher just in case • Speakers he likes to blast in the morning and late at night (the perks of not having any neighbors!), the music of choice depends highly on the mood and what decade he’s feeling like • An acoustic guitar, a small box full of worn books and old journals • Paper maps. Lots of them. Google Maps confuses him • A surfboard  • A tintype photograph from the late 1870s, the last he has with his family in front of their, at the time, English estate, a few years before he took off in search of his birth mother

OPEN STARTER | Anywhere

“Hey buddy, you have a flat tire there.” Cas had been sitting outside the bar for his break, smoking a cigarette when he saw the car pull into the parking space in front of him. He pointed at the car with his chin, flicking the butt of his cigarette as he stood up to come closer. “You have a jack and a spare there? I can help you change it but I’m on the clock so...” He needed to get back inside any minute now. “I promise it’ll be cheaper than calling road assistance. Come inside and I’ll buy you a drink in the meantime. Your day’s shitty enough as is, it’s the least I can do.”

    “ Color me impressed . This town knows how to party after all .” Emrys smirked at the pictures someone sneaked to take of the body at the alter of the church . well, part of it anyways . As sick as it was , someone had already spread the pictures via text and posted it online . The original vampire took the glass of Negroni he had ordered a couple minutes ago . 

"Yeah, but they’re shit tippers.” Cas muttered, counting the cash on his tip jar before putting it all on an envelop. He was just closing his shift as he plopped beside the guy at the bar, writing his report and putting all the money on an envelop before folding it and tucking it on his rear pocket. He ordered a beer for the sake of it, placing a $20 on the counter for the incoming bartender. “What is that you’re looking at, though?” Cas asked curiously, pointing at the phone.

originalkaylee​:

Kaylee’s favorite place to go when she wanted to be alone was the woods. She loved running between the trees, enjoying the fresh air around her and the silence that nature has to offer. After a thousand years, there comes a time when you get tired of people in general and dealing with them and there’s nothing better to Kaylee than coming here and enjoying the loneliness of the forest. As she jogged through the woods, she eventually came to a stop in a clearing. Sitting down on the grass, Kaylee closed her eyes for a moment, taking in all the noises and smells all around her when a strange noise interrupted her meditation. Opening her eyes, she looked towards the source of the noise, trying to look who it was and if they were any sort of threat to her. “I can hear you. You can come out, I don’t bite … much.” She smirked to herself. @ashwickstarters​

It was probably not the best idea to wander around in the woods by himself but Cas had never been great at stopping himself from coming too close to danger. In fact, he was a subject matter expert when it came to that. He also had this irrational need to know his surroundings and think of every possible, often pessimistic scenario, so he could be prepared when things went bad. It was his survival instinct. He had been around for too long to know better, even if he was mostly winging it half of the time. “I— why would anyone be by themselves in the woods in the middle of the day, hears someone walking and invite them to come closer?” The vampire said out loud as he made his way in the direction of the voice, pulling his headphones and shaking his head. Said survival instincts kicked in pretty quickly, and he came to a stop a good couple of feet away from the woman, though instead of looking defensive or in alert, he looked mostly annoyed with himself. “Also there are all sorts of bugs here. Are you even able to relax?”

_open starter from RAKESH

Despite the events that had let them here to this strange and interesting city, Rakesh tried to keep their head up. Head up, spirits up, muttering fun songs under their breath to keep from focussing too much on the fact that they were now a FREAKING vampire, who would’ve thought… right? From doctor to actor to vampire, though sadly, the only one that was lasting to a point was the last one. Rakesh smiled fondly to the strangers that crossed their path. “Excuse me, where would you say one can get the best coffee around town?” he asked. 

"The best?” Cas had no clue. He was still trying to figure out the town himself but he was also good at winging it. “I mean, I’m not a coffee drinker but I know usually if the spot has nice pastries then it also has nice coffee... there’s this one place with a cat logo not too far from here. A black cat. Something Black Cat. Anyway, it looks legit enough.” He had used their wifi when trying to find a room to rent and submitting all his paperwork. Even if he didn’t really eat anything, he still purchased something. He was already used to that, compulsively trying to blend in. It was almost second nature. “I’m actually heading that way to work if you wanna tag along. Are you new here?”

STARTER: open

LOCATION: literally anywhere

    turns out there is such thing as partying a little too hard, even for the thousand year old original werewolf who spent a couple centuries pretending he was dionysus  —  the god of parties and debauchery himself. dion wakes up in some foreign surroundings ( or that appear foreign, at least ), dazed and confused, with a minute of a headache and a torn trash bag around his shoulders.  “ jesus christ on a diet cracker, ”  he mumbles, combing his unruly hair out of his face.  “ what the fuck did i do last night? ”

Cas had arrived at the bar early to open for the rest of the staff and start prepping when he stumbled —almost quite literally— upon this person blocking the back alley exit door. He didn’t bother waking him up at first though as he let the trash bags hit the bottom of the dumpster and jiggled his set of keys on his way back inside, he heard the guy talking. “I have no fucking idea but if you find out, please share. Promises to be a fun recollection.” Cas shrugs, holding the back door open. For some reason, he was neither shocked or intrigued by what he saw. He had seen it all before. He had been there himself, too. “Come inside, I’ll get you some water. But leave the trash bag out. I just got this gig and I’m trying not to get sacked on week 2. That’s more of a month 2 thing for me.”

open starter » carmen serrano location: serrano apothecary @ashwickstarters​

she had been filling jars with teas, requested by a member of the town’s population. she heard the door ding as it opened and she let the person enter without greeting them instantly, give them time to take in the atmosphere. carmen’s eyes fell on the person looking through the herb selection before walking over to them. “is there something i can help you find? what is it that ales you?” she asked approaching the other, not trying to startle them. “i’m carmen, i can help you find whatever it is you need.”

"Oh I’m not—” Cas cleared his throat quickly and shrugged. He was new-ish in town and he was just curious. Curiosity was his Achilles Heel, after all. “I was just passing by and I thought I’d check it out. It’s pretty cool... all this.” He said, waving a hand around the room. He may look young and act even younger, but he was far more wise than he or his appearance led. He had been around long enough to know what many of the herbs were good for, not that he had any need for them himself. “So what exactly is all of this for?” His lips curved in a charmingly boyish way, if only to entertain the woman since she had offered to help.

MISC

Cas is very charming and boyish to a fault. He has no difficulty in picking up conversations and has always found it very easy to forge friendships, with or without having to resort to mind compulsion. He can be rowdy at his worst and trouble always seems to find him everywhere he goes, but he’s mostly always welcoming it with an smirk. It makes him feel alive, the rush, the spark. At his best, he’s just a young man trying to find his place in this world. But before he does, he needs to learn who he is, and where he comes from. This is why he’s in Ashwick Valley, hoping to find answers once and for all.

It was only in the early 1960s that he was able to conquer the right to walk in the sunlight by the use of an enchanted string necklace with a tribal  others have gained help and conquered the right to walk in the sunlight by the use of an enchanted string necklace made with cast iron and a ruby.

Cas most recent persona and style very much resembles the All-American boy next door, but with a West Coast vibe. Which happens to be what he’s going with when the average Joe asks where he’s from — Santa Monica.

He loves the sun, mostly because his entire human life was spent (he thinks) in a very cold, not very sunny country, and because it goes against his core nature. If there’s one thing you can trust Cassian to do, is to defy and question everything around him, including his own self!
