lottie  had  always  been  the  first  to  admit  that  luck  had  a  funny  way  of  finding  her—whether  it  was  stumbling  into  the  right  place  at  the  right  time  or  just  barely  dodging  a  mess  she  might’ve  caused.  some  might  say  it  was  LUCK,  but  lottie  wasn’t  so  sure.  she  liked  to  think  someone,  somewhere,  was  looking  out  for  her.  whatever  it  was,  it  worked. that’s  how  she  ended  up  at  the  arcade  with  her  friends,  despite  being  more  of  a  casual  observer  than  an  enthusiastic  participant.  they’d  split  up,  eager  to  see  who  could  rack  up  the  most  tickets  by  the  end  of  the  day.  the  usual  banter  echoed  through  the  neon-lit  room,  the  sounds  of  clinking  tokens  and  digital  beeps  filling  the  air.  but  lottie?  she  wasn’t  in  it  for  the  tickets—at  least,  not  at  first. her  eyes  scanned  the  row  of  machines  before  landing  on  a  familiar  sight.  a  nostalgic  wave  washed  over  her,  and  without  thinking,  she  drifted  toward  the  pac-man  game,  pulling  the  stool  out  with  a  soft  scrape.  she  hadn’t  played  in  years—back  when  she  and  her  dad  would  spend  hours  on  it,  bonding  over  high  scores  and  trying  to  beat  each  other’s  records. her  friends  had  been  off  on  other  machines,  lost  in  their  own  games,  and  hadn’t  seen  what  was  happening.  but  lottie  wasn’t  about  to  let  this  go  unnoticed.  the  screen  flashed—new  high  score.  charlotte  laughed,  brows  furrowing.  “what  the  fuck?” a  small  grin  spread  across  her  lips  as  nell  approached.  “oh,  it’s  definitely  not  me...  i  think  somehow  i  lucked  out,  if  i’m  being  honest.”

national  retro  video  game  fell  upon  international  women's  day  ,  and  nell  was  an  overly  excitable  ball  of  energy  as  she  headed  towards  the  token  counter.  special  sound  effects  became  background  noise  ,  and  she  didn't  know  where  to  look  as  she  struggled  to  decide  where  to  begin  first.  heart  skipped  a  few  beats  as  she  passed  the  dance  revolution  corner  ,  and  steps  slowed  as  she  watched  two  teens  compete  against  one  another  with  the  same  passion  she  once  held.  pulling  herself  away  ,  she  stopped  at  the  pac  -  man  console  and  waited  her  turn.  eyes  became  wide  at  the  person's  score  ,  and  she  couldn't  help  but  utter  how  impressed  she  was.  "  damn  —  i  don't  think  i've  ever  seen  someone  slay  that  as  hard  as  you  have  ,  and  you're  not  even  done.  "

location: pearl's bistro starter for: OPEN charlotte  sat  at  the  bistro,  her  not-so-fresh  manicure  tapping  absentmindedly  on  the  table,  the  rhythmic  sound  barely  noticeable  against  the  hum  of  the  busy  atmosphere.  her  eyes  skimmed  the  screen  in  front  of  her,  the  words  of  her  next  article  blurring  together.  her  once-steaming  meal  sat  untouched,  now  cold  and  unappetizing,  a  reminder  of  how  little  it  could  do  to  shake  off  the  jet  lag  that  clung  to  her  like  a  second  skin.  the  lively  chatter  around  her  faded  into  a  distant   b  u  z  z   as  she  tried  to  focus,  but  her  mind  kept  drifting  back  to  the  sights  and  sounds  of  paris—the  effortless  wave  of  inspiration  that  had  flowed  so  freely  then. lottie  sighed,  willing  the  words  to  come,  but  they  wouldn’t.  her  fingers  hovered  above  the  keys,  but  nothing  felt  right. just  like  fate,  a  familiar  face  slowly  came  into  view,  inching  closer  through  the  haze  of  her  distracted  thoughts.  lottie  blinked,  her  attention  snapping  back  to  the  present.  “just  like  my  guardian  angel  to  look  out  for  me  and  send  the  perfect  distraction.  looks  like  i'm  done  with  work  for  the  day.”  she  hums,  grin  spreading  across  her  lips  as  she  gestures  to  the  chair  across  from  her.

name: charlotte james nickname(s): charlie, lottie, char, cherry gender: cis-female pronouns: she/her age: twenty six dob: september 5 pob: cape cod, massachusetts orientation: bisexual

biography:

she has a close-knit family of four: her dad, a passionate lawyer; her mom, a force in the fashion industry; and her older sister, celeste, who charlie has always looked up to. the two sisters were inseparable growing up, often caught in mischievous adventures that had them exploring the town, sneaking into their mom’s closet, or plotting out new ways to get their crushes attention (including taking the sail boat out for a joyride). the james' sister bond was built on shared laughter and a love of adventure. even though the family moved away from the cape when charlie was six, they always made sure to return for vacations. cape cod is truly a place charlotte will always hold closely and will still escape to when needing a break.

lottie's mother, who was always involved in high-end fashion, was a big influence on her career. she would often take charlie to fashion events, where the glamour and excitement of the industry enamored her. charlotte would spend hours rifling through her mom’s luxury wardrobe and flipping through fashion magazines, dreaming of one day becoming a part of that world. the fashion scene, paired with her love for storytelling, led lottie to journalism at a young age, and by the time she was 18, she was already interning with major publications, learning from the best.

after college, where she balanced her passion for fashion with a journalism degree, charlie's career took off. she worked with gq, elle, and vanity fair, eventually landing a position at vanity fair where she still thrives today, diving into the world of high fashion, celebrity culture, and everything in between.

personality:

she's goofy, spontaneous, and full of life, with an infectious energy that can light up any room. she loves fiercely and cares deeply about her friends, family, and work. she's not the most organized person, often losing track of time or misplacing her phone. she’s the kind of person who shows up with a smile, no matter what, and is almost always ready for an adventure.

her older sister, celeste, is still her best friend and confidante, and even though they’ve grown older, their mischievous dynamic hasn’t changed one bit, truly balancing each other out.

though she may have her moments of being a little clueless, charlie is 100% authentic. her passion, drive, and heart make her who she is.

connection ideas:

familial: cousins, aunts, uncles, etc..

platonic: best friend, childhood friends, acquaintances, mentor/mentee, sibling like friends, etc..

romantic: exes (ending on good or bad terms), fwb, crushes, childhood crush, etc..

other: similar work friends, someone who works alongside charlotte, open to anything!

rhodes glanced down to the pan in front of him before glancing at the other. pursing his lips, he let his gaze fall back down at the food on the pan. "well.. all i can say is lets not talk ourselves into thinking we can cook complicated dishes ever again.. bc its definitely not going to turn out like the cookbook pictures." he hummed, scraping the food with the spatula in his hand. "or at least i definitely can't be in charge.. think you can fix it or..?"

"wait, wait, wait.. of all the times you told me that being early is better... now it makes me a jerk ?" poppy chuckled softly, sitting up in her chair. she wasn't really expecting an invitation from kendrick and i guess if she really sat and thought about it, it wasn't a flat out invitation. "lucky for you, i don't have plans for new years.. or i guess now i do. so, new years eve at your place for a party not thrown by you ? and i dont have to bring something but if you did want something, what would you want me to bring ?"

theres a small roll of the eyes as rory plops the toilet paper down against the wall. "oh fuck, all is forgiven." he hums as he notices the food left on the coffee table. making sure to stand in front of the tv, as the token annoying cousin would, he grabs a few wings onto on of the plates set out for him. "listen, costco was running a sale and i thought why not stock up... and have extra definitely not to tp the inside of kenny's apartment."

bottle  nods  toward  rory  as  he  enters,  julian's  feet  propped  on  the  coffee  table  as  his  eyes  remain  fixated  on  the  television.  him  and  kenny  have  clearly  gotten  comfortable,  pizza  and  wings  open  on  the  coffee  table,  just  enough  saved  for  when  their  cousin  would  inevitably  show  up.  “we  saved  you  some  food,”  finally  looks  toward  rory,  confusion  painting  his  features  at  the  stack  of  toilet  paper  he'd  hauled  in.  while  kenny  had  mentioned  tp'ing  someone's  home,  julian  couldn't  help  the  michevious  smirk  that  preceeded  his  jab.  “if  we  knew  you  were  having  a  serious  case  of  the  shits,  we  would've  made  do  with  kenny's  shitty  tv,  you  should've  told  us  !” @delightfms

the holidays had always been something poppy loved. the girl occupied herself with gift exchanges, parties, and dinners. new years eve was next and here the redhead was at yet another party. with a platter of cookies in her hand and a bottle of wine under her arm, she made her way into the kitchen, a soft laugh slipping past her lips as the other appeared. "no, i think im okay right now, but maybe i can give you a hand ?" she hums, placing each of the items she brought onto the counter. "how can i help ?"

open starter , ( @palmviewstarters ) ! location , a mutual friend's get together a few days before new years eve, 5:30pm.

it's not often she tries to be civil, but alas, maybe there's some christimas spirit still left her veins because olivia is everything but her usual self while helping out in a kitchen. mind you, she's a god awful cook, but she's trying with the turkey per request of her friend that's too busy playing a good host. there's a loud thud coming from the pantry when she drops a bag of flour just at the same time as she hears someone in the kitchen, putting on a strangely perky face as she emerges back. “ everything's going accordingly ! “ she starts with a lie, despite the fact she's already half - covered in flour to begin with. “ can i get you something ? “

[delightfms]

rory trudged down the hallway, his arms practically giving out from the weight of the dozens of toilet paper packs stacked methodically in his hands. there was no doubt there had to be at least a little judgment from his neighbors as he passed their doors. finally making it to his own door, he kicked it open with his foot and rushed inside, relieved to be back, but clearly questioning why his two cousins were already inside. "which one of you assholes decided the party started before me ?? in my own home ??"

location: cookie decorating station starter for: open @palmviewstarters

she didn't think she would enjoy the winter festival as much as she was. there was something about the way the air felt and the faint smell of gingerbread and sugar drifting through the neighborhood that quickly summoned her to the cookie decorating station. as poppy surveyed her options, she finally settled on a sugar cookie in the shape of a house and picked up the pink icing. the redhead took a seat and slightly turned to look at the person next to her. "pretty sure i've got to make this one extra special—think i should go full-on glitter or keep it simple?" she raised an eyebrow playfully, already squeezing a bit of pink icing onto the cookie. "it’s a big decision... so no pressure."
