𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 : syd and alara .
“i hate when they give us fake sides.” the actress said with a dramatic sigh, eyeing the few pages of vague script she had to self tape for, “like these are so basic. i don’t even know the character or the genre. see it says HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL and they’re even making me sign a NDA.” despite this fact alara hands the script to the other, “will you read this with me? i’ll pay you and buy you a drink after. they want this tape in ASAP.”
SYD KNEW NOTHING about sides , fake or real , but the prospect of getting her hands on something confidential sent a thrill through her. her brows drew together and she scrunched her face with a shake of her head. ❝ i don’t even know why you’d ask , ❞ she replied , script already opening in her hands. ❝ just beware i might not be very good at uh –– i’m guessing you want me to read simon’s lines ? ❞

𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 : kat and alara .
eyes narrow and lips pursed, curiosity evident on her features, bright orbs glistening with the promise of mischief, “i’m all for strong women with a plan. and free clothes. i’m in.” alara said with a grin, honestly up for anything, “what do you need me to do?”
KAT WAS ALWAYS pleased when things went her way , this was no exception. she returned alara’s grin with her own before tilting her head toward their destination. as she started to walk, she shrugged. ❝ oh , nothing too difficult. just stand there while i measure you , and pick out your favorite designs. i won’t have the final product today , but you’ll have a general idea of what you’re getting. ❞

𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 : kat and mattie .
mattie was on the way home from her shift at the discovery diner, it was cold and she was wrapped up warm. she was nearly home when she heard kat’s voice, she turns and offers the other a smile, “uh — sure?” she says, a brow quirked, she was curious. at the mention of free clothes, her smile only gets bigger, “okay, sounds fun. i’m in, the clothes have gotta be super cute though”.
❝ ARE YOU DOUBTING me ? ❞ kat’s brows raised as she looked down at her own outfit. she received enough of that from her extended family , but knew better than to listen. she would end up as a designer in new york fashion week. one day. ❝ well , you won’t after you’ve seen the sketches. ❞

𝐋𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐀 // kat and pinar .
Though she tried her best to remain present in Leyla’s life alongside the amazing parents that was raising her, she had to decline the invitation to eat out with them. After all, Pinar already had plans for herself. It was the main reason why she decided that she didn’t want to be a mom; to continue to have her freedom and go out with friends, gossip, have drinks, enjoy life as much as she could without being responsible for another one. After sending one last text, her eyes scanned the room finally seeing Kat as part of said scenario. “No need to apologize,” Pinar replied honestly, because she really didn’t mind waiting. And then, she chuckled. “I could give you a few reasons why, but you probably know all of those already. Just focus on the fact that you’re here now and you’re with me, so there’s no better moment than the present, huh?” A playful comment to light up Kat’s mood. “They’re lucky that you exist, you know that, right?”
KAT LET OUT a sigh of frustration. she knew pinar meant well by saying such , but it just annoyed her. her cousin shouldn’t have to need her. max had not one but two siblings. they just had “ more important ” things to do. ❝ yeah –– but it shouldn’t be like that. ❞ she crossed her arms. ❝ plus , i’m in the middle of trying to design. but my cousins need to ❛ focus on the business. ❜ it’s just exhausting having them not care all the time. makes some part of me wonder if my designs are as bad as they say they are ... ❞

˚ ⊹ · . ⌜ main verse. cinthya carmona. demi woman. she / her & they / them. ⌟ huh ? oh ― that’s just sydney reeves. as far as i know, they’re thirty years old and last i heard they’re a pre - school teacher. they’ve been in hope for fifteen years and around here, they’re known as the gregarious, but everybody knows all that. what you really ought to know is that they’re kind of irresponsible, and oblivious, but lively, and patient at the same time. and if you ever need a favour from them, get them a donation to her travel fund. that’ll do the trick. sagittariuses, am i right ?
her parents moved to hope when she was fifteen ; syd was not happy as she was born and raised in big - city florida and hope was about as opposite as you could get.
if you met her as a parent to a child she watches , you’d be like “my child is in such good hands” but if you met her outside of work you’d be like “.........are the kids like...safe?”
definitely a friday night & saturday alcoholic but she would never admit that. :) like she goes home from work on friday , gets wasted , and doesn’t get sober til sunday morning :)))
tries to go on one biiig trip a year , usually during this time of year bc they end up shutting down for the major holidays so its easier for her ??
does not know how to keep her mouth shut ! don’t tell her secrets ! she won’t keep them ! most people probs kno this by now but .. ye
painfully unaware of her surroundings <3
lives with a few room mates ( i’m envisioning four of them in total ) a total of fifteen minutes from her parents’ home. she still goes over there every other weekend for a family meal.
has two siblings , she’s the middle child and has Middle Child Syndrome pls pay attention to her
NMBZXMNCVB idk she’s a mess pls love her even tho i’m progressively getting worse at intros <3333

˚ ⊹ · . ⌜ main verse. elliot fletcher. trans man. he / him. ⌟ huh ? oh ― that’s just cameron houst. as far as i know, they’re twenty - four years old and last i heard they’re a staff member over at sanctuary books. they’ve been in hope for their entire life and around here, they’re known as the dreamer, but everybody knows all that. what you really ought to know is that they’re kind of fickle, and quiet, but amiable, and easy - going at the same time. and if you ever need a favour from them, get them a scented candle. that’ll do the trick. libras, am i right ?
uh , cameron a big softie !! if he knew how to bake he would definitely make you a cake if you were sad , but alas , his baking skills are absolute SHIT :)
always has his head in one book , sometimes maybe two ( he’s known to occasionally be reading a paperback , ebook , and audio book at the same time )
v v v quiet when you first get to know him. he overthinks all the things and that usually results in him finally figuring out what to say well after the time has passed so he just .. doesn’t say anything rip
re : gender // idk when he was growing up he didn’t really realize that .. he was trans ? like he knew that he was a girl because he was told he was a girl , but he always felt like he was trying to shove himself into a box that he didn’t fit in ?? but like .. he didn’t put two and two together until he was like .. sixteen. then it took him a few years to really accept and ground himself in this new identity before he started telling people. he took things step by step and fully transitioned shortly after he turned twenty.
he had like the usual people being assholes about it , but for the most part , cam’s transition was simple. no one he cared about intentionally misgendered him , and he was generally accepted.
idk he a big baby and wants to give everyone hugs and would definitely drop e v e r y t h i n g if you’re having a bad day.
this is probably my worst intro to date i apologize he’s new :) but he just wants to be friends :) even though :) he wont :) start a convo wit u :))

𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐓𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 // kat and minji .
expression blank, minji shrugs at the blonde. “what are y’going to do in three minutes?” even though she recognizes the woman as someone who cut through the cemetery, she still treats her as if she didn’t know why she is here. “not sure why you’d want to walk through the cemetery at this hour anyways,” she adds, referring to the rapidly descending darkness.
HER BROWS DREW together in frustration and she crossed her arms , not wanting to explain herself. she held down the impulse to stamp her foot like a toddler throwing a tantrum. it wouldn’t get her anywhere. ❝ because , ❞ she huffed. ❝ my house is like , a street away on the opposite side. if i cut through , i’ll get home in like , seven minutes. i promise i’m not here to rob graves or anything. just cut through. you can even escort me. ❞

𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐓𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 // maya and milo .
milo widens his eyes before squinting at the purple coloring of his finger. “broken?” he snorts. “no way. in fact, it feels perfectly fine,” he adds. no, in fact, it didn’t — but he wasn’t about to admit that to her. “hold up, don’t you work here?” despite it all, he was much too intimate with the staff of mercy clinic, partly because hope is so small, and partly because he’d sustained enough minor injuries that he was practically almost a regular here. almost. “what’re you doing in the waiting room?”
MAYA COULDN’T HELP the small laugh that came from her. most patients swore something was broken when it wasn’t and here milo was , disbelieving her verdict. he brows rose when he insisted that it felt fine , confident it was a farce. ❝ i’m sure , but yeah. ❞ she shrugged. unless she felt like driving nearly an hour , she didn’t have a choice but to go to her place of work. ❝ i can’t write myself prescriptions , so here i am. even doctors need doctors. ❞

𝐆𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐑 // kat and nicolas .
dumfounded nicolas’ instinct was to gather what the women had left behind and tail after her. nicolas walked around the counter with his hands occupied with kat’s belongings. heading for the door he was halted when she returned from the bathroom back to the center of the cafe. ❝ good grief. ❞he exhaled. ❝ i’m a little exhausted. i think i would prefer to take a break. ❞ he admitted while slipping onto the bar stool behind him. nicolas placed her things back onto the counter. he called for a waiter. ❝ serve her, then me — ❞ he turned towards her. ❝ do you want a pastry too ? ❞
KAT EXPECTED HIM to relent when she returned , what she hadn’t expected was him to endure more of her presence. usually , people tended to suddenly have other plans when her personality got to be too much for them. this was different , intriguing. a satisfied smile played on her face as he called one of the servers. ❝ mm , i’m in the mood for a surprise , yes ? ❞ her eyes flicked over the staff’s appearance. ❝ but if you have no ingenuity , make me whatever he’s having. and i’d love a blueberry muffin , too , please. ❞ she turned to nicolas. ❝ thank you. ❞

𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐄𝐒 // kat and emilia .
emmy’s never had the greatest fashion sense, a symptom of growing up in a family where hand-me-downs were the norm & of only growing into herself in her twenties, where most girls have their entire childhood to figure out what style of clothes they like. she’s been told her fashion sense is atrocious ( mostly by her dearest younger siblings ) — but, well. when you work in a kitchen, it’s not wise to wear clothes you care about too much, and it’s a habit that kind of stuck. she keeps the nice leather jacket & pretty dresses for special occasions, which are rare in a town like hope, or when she’s feeling particularly gender and just needs clothes to match her mood. all this to say, she’s not bothered by kat’s comment about her clothing, waving it off with a laugh. “ my kids are vicious, ” she says, “ so i wish you luck. they’ll roast me for anything at all. i miss when they were all small and innocent and nice and uncorrupted by their aunts and uncles. ”
IF EMILIA’S CURRENT wardrobe was any indication , kat could understand why her children were vicious. she kept the comment to herself , unsure how it would be taken by the other. she needed the help and didn’t want to jeopardize the assistance emilia offered. plus , it would be a gift to herself to see emilia out of the drab she was currently walking in. ❝ well , if they roast you for one of my creations , then they’ve got terrible fashion sense. ❞ she glanced back at her companion , eyes raking over her body. ❝ i’ve got a design that i think will look perfect on you. even your siblings will be left speechless. ❞

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐂𝐘 // alex and kiera.
an apologetic smile was displayed before kiera averted her gaze, fixing it on the cup of tea in her hands. truth be told, kiera felt a little bad that she could not offer any more advice. but she realized that she did not have the necessary information or experience to be of any useful help… and if there was one thing kiera did not like to do, it was talk just to talk… talking without substance, if you’d like. “i see – that sounds like a very frustrating situation.”, the woman sighed and nodded. “do you believe it has something to do with his parents or his family? his home situation isn’t great, then?”, kiera still tried to ask some hopefully useful or interesting questions. she did want to help – or at least, try.
ALEX NODDED IN response , a weighed sigh escaping his lips. he’d spent hours trying to come up with a resolution with nothing , so he hadn’t expected a stranger to the situation to come up with a solution. he just wanted to vent , it hadn’t mattered who was listening. or even if they were listening at all. ❝ i think there’s something going on at home. ❞ he’d gathered that much from what the kid would ( or wouldn’t ) say. ❝ i just wish i knew if it was something relatively normal or if i should be contacting child services. ❞

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐂𝐘 // kat and kiera.
the blonde girl’s excitement was very rewarding to kiera and it brought a big, endeared smile to her face. as taylor continued to speak, kiera’s mind was working hard to keep up with all the information and piece it all together until the realization hit of what they were going to do. “oh – you want me to model for you? i mean, model your designs?”, kiera asked, voice a mixture of curiosity, excitement and in fairness, a bit of doubt. she was no model – did taylor know what she signed up for? “that sounds… very exciting!”, the woman began – despite her not really caring about fancy clothes or brands, taylor was one of the locals of hope and surely kiera admired her work! “i do not have any modelling experience, though. i am not sure i am who you want?”.
KAT SAW WHEN the realization of what she was asking dawned on kiera. it really was a simple request with a high reward , she couldn’t understand why so many had turned her down already. so what if they had meetings ? she was a future valentino. she felt it in her bones. she pressed her lips together with raised brows , impatience running through her. ❝ yes , yes , very exciting , ❞ she nodded , taking kiera’s hand despite the fact that she hadn’t agreed yet. she would. she had to. ❝ don’t worry. you’ve got the –– everything for it , ❞ it was a rare compliment from kat as she started toward her place. ❝ i just need a body other than my own , and you’re well ... beautiful. ❞ she suddenly felt exposed. her eyes darted around their surroundings , checking for listening ears. ❝ you’ll do fine. ❞

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐂𝐘 // alex and kiera.
kiera had just about finished up her shift when alex entered the cafe. a smile began to grow on her lips when she noticed the man approach the counter, where she was filling up the small display with some freshly baked pastries. “hello to you too.”, kiera greeted him back, nodding once in his direction. when he leaned against the counter, the young woman did the same from her own side. the smile she wore grew a little upon hearing his question: “well, closing up is not up to me unfortunately. however, i did just end my shift and i just so happen to love hikes.”, she spoke whilst nodding. “so yes, i would love to join you. where do you want to hike to? or is the destination not important?”, kiera wondered as she began to untie her apron.
ALEX LIFTED HIMSELF from the counter with a smile , appeased that she would join him. he meandered toward the cafe’s exit as kiera prepared to leave. ❝ well , then i have excellent timing , ❞ he nodded. he leaned against the door to open it , letting a cool breeze through the establishment. fall was making its way to winter , but he knew once they started their journey the temperature wouldn’t seem so low. ❝ no idea , though. this is as far as my plan went. i wasn’t sure if you’d actually be able to leave. ❞

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐂𝐘 // maya and dae - hyun .
hearing her laughter – despite it being of the ironic kind – had dae-hyun’s lips turn upwards as well. “well, i am sorry to hear. i had hoped you just like to be surprised in life and enjoy some evening drinking.”, the young musician replied, the words spoken in hope of lightening the mood a little bit. when the bartender shoved a blue drink towards her, dae-hyun could not help but scrunch up his nose. it did not look very tasty, luckily he was not the one who had to drink it. “you know what they say about neon colored drinks, right?”, dae-hyun asked, cocking up an eyebrow. “never try them. they’re horrible.”.
MAYA HELD ON to the drink like it was a lifeline , taking a sip every few seconds. it could easily replace her favorite drink and she didn’t even know what it was called. her eyes lifted from the blue concoction to her neighbor and she lifted her shoulders in an easy shrug. ❝ i don’t think that’s what the saying is. pretty sure it’s that they’re dangerous , ❞ she replied. ❝ which is true. no neon drink actually tastes like alcohol. or – not that i’ve seen , anyway. ❞

𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐂𝐘 // maya and dae - hyun .
dae-hyun was truly charmed by maya’s proposition. the fact that she wanted to share her… oasis, apparently… with him because of how it inspired her, it was very much appreciated by the young musician who, truth be told, struggled with inspiration every once in a while. “an oasis you say? that sounds pretty promising. how could i say no that that?”, dae-hyun wondered out loud before smiling kindly at her, even daring to shoot her a playful wink. “by all means, lead the way.”, he spoke confidently, extending an encouraging arm.
SHE WAS RELIEVED dae - hyun didn’t have other plans. maya had been itching to show him since she found the location and excitement bubbled up in her when it set in that she’d finally get to show him. ❝ sweet ! ❞ she turned on her heel and led the way back to her car , her original task long forgotten. ❝ i was just exploring and all of a sudden –– ❞ she shook her head as she opened the car door before she settled into the driver’s seat. ❝ you’ll understand when you see it. ❞

𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐈𝐈𝐄𝐒 // lena and enya.
“ do you ever wonder what life would be like if all that didn’t happen ? ” enya asks. he’s been asking around to try to get a rough timeline of what’s happened in hope and its surrounding area over the last two decades. and enya’s always been prone to thinking of what-ifs and optimistic futures, so really it’s not surprising that such a thought has floated through his head. “ i mean, realistically i know that most of the world would be uninhabitable from global warming or sea level rise, but if we found a different way to fix things. like, is it fate that we met, or just chance ? because it looks like chance, rationally, but it feels like fate, you get me ? ”
LENA WASN’T SURE where the question came from. in her experience , it was best not to dwell on the could’ve been. would her father still have been a creature of cruelty ? she’d wasted so much time wondering about a future that had never been possible. one where her family was whole , instead of broken and unrecognizable. she wondered if her father would recognize her now. ❝ i used to , ❞ she admitted. ❝ but then i realized it doesn’t matter what the world is like , the things that really matter always would’ve stayed the same. ❞ like she would’ve always ended up in hope , even though she was raised on the other side of the country. she shrugged , trying not to betray the hours she’d spent on those very thoughts. ❝ but i don’t know. maybe chance and fate are all intertwined. like , you flip a coin , the chances are fifty fifty heads or tails , but fate always has a plan in mind. the question is , how many times will it spin in the air before it lands on the ground ? will it land like a top or clatter on the pavement ? we just –– have to find out. ❞
