who: Rashaad & Julien where: any bar when: daytime

It’s been over a month since he’s felt this low. Knowing your triggers, then avoiding them should be an easy task in theory. However, how do you avoid said trigger when it’s a person you co-parent with, and have to see on a regular basis for the sake of your children? In Rashaad’s case it truly is easier said than done. It’s not that he’s holding a torch for his ex-spouse, but rather every time he sees them, he’s reminded of just how much of a failure he really is. 

Another deep sigh left the chef’s parted lips. He sat at the bar, shoulders hunched over while nursing a drink. The place wasn’t packed, but for during the day he certainly had company. “It’s a good thing my liver doesn’t have a watch, yeah?” he snickered to himself, when in reality anyone sitting at the bar could hear him loud and clear. 

Behind the bar one of the bartenders began making an elaborate drink cocktails. As it was something in his line of sight he began watching in earnest. Rashaad’s head tilted out of curiosity, then in the next moment the shared what was on his mind. “Say, if you had to create the perfect cocktail what you you put in it?” 

-

      alcohol served many purposes in the most desperate of hands. for some relief, for others a potion to numb and forget. for julien the substance was a means of celebration whenever the situation called for it--- whenever a celebration for nothing was needed. and if day drinking in itself was a sin, he wasn’t sure if it would had made a memorable indentation for the sins the world had deemed had already painted his soul. 

      for now it was a celebration for a new client and another foot in a professional direction that mimicked the normalcy of life he once had. when he lifted his glass in silent toast it was either to the woman’s good health, or to the grave he made for a normal life and the mockery of his actions that impersonated it; he couldn’t decide which so the first sip was for himself. the second sip would have been for her, the kind woman that she was, but his mind was pulled away by the snicker and the question in tow.

      “ the perfect cocktail already exists, ” he replied, “ depending on what you want it to do. if you want something fun to drink, you want a piña colada. if you want something to get you feeling it quickly, drink a long island. and the perfect combination between something fun and something wasted is a caribou lou. ” he lifted his yellow drink in reference to the last, though it was apparent julien was taking his time, enjoying it before the inevitable numbness took its toll.

      “ but i’m a sweet tastes kind of person. ”

SUBPLOT // the troublemakers

muse ag, calvin lucas and JULIEN WALCROFT have been friends since they were in their twenties and have been committing crimes just as long. muse ag is the brains, cal lucas is the muscle and JULIEN WALCOFT? well, they’re just motivated by greed and adrenaline. muse ag is from a family who was known for thieving and swindling, so their behavior was more of a legacy, a family business they continued. cal lucas has always been aggressive and had a need to express their anger. they also like money, so they’re always down for theft, a robbery, or a scheme - a good excuse to blow off some steam. JULIEN WALCROFT never had to do any of this. they came from an affluent family and were talented enough to make it in the business world but they never seemed to be able to keep themselves from getting into trouble and bring shame on the family. so, they were cut off financially. this meant that JULIEN had to beg, steal and borrow to be able to afford even half of what they were used to… so, when they met the other two, they entered into a bit of a… gang. they’ve all spent quite a few years in jail over the course of their lifetime, but they’ve not thought of quitting just yet.

BIOGRAPHY

julien thomas walcroft was born in birmingham, uk, a well-to-do name for a well-to-do family. he grew up in a proud home where expectations of adults were insisted upon any children within the walcroft name. it was never a bother to live up to the name and the sole boy of his immediate family seemed to fit naturally into the fold of things. in return, julien’s parents were kind and amicable, insisted on their son’s happiness in equal to their own, even retrieving him from boarding school often to enjoy time away when the opportunity was available. perhaps that was the mistake but julien never thought so.

the walcrofts went on holiday abroad, throughout europe and the states with florida being a natural destination spot. when he was twelve, the family visited elmerton on a whim and found a charm to the town that consistently brought them back; ever since julien was in and out of elmerton with extended stays during the summer break. 

julien had a knack for finding a good time. if he couldn’t find a party to thrive in he hosted his own, often with the surprised and suspicious glances when the attendees realized their host was under age. but money could buy him what he pleased and his family was well endowed with it.

unfortunately such extravagant displays garnered attention wherever he went, including unwanted attention from authorities or family friends who heard of unruly outcomes of his actions. of course these were not limited to parties or the ilk. even as a boy, julien was easily bored and often looked for excitement around him. as always, if he couldn’t find it, he created it... even if that meant pushing buttons he knew not to push.

for many years his family tolerated his behaviour with gritted teeth. how could they not when these instances, although frequent, weren’t the whole of the story? it wasn’t that julien was a horrible son or a disappointment to the goals they set before him. he was advanced in his studies, met every expectation and standard they had set for him in terms of success, and overcame any setback or obstacle with such ambition it seemed nothing could get in his way... except for himself.

julien was already dipping his toes in the business world while still studying at university and the prospects lining up for him were as promising as the disaster his parents created. he had just earned his bachelor’s and came back to the states for holiday and celebration. as per usual, his celebrations got a little out of hand and word quickly traveled back to his family. their patience was worn, and by monday morning his assets and funds were cut off. it was intended as a lesson, and they truly believed they weren’t leaving him stranded to world. it was julien’s poor management of wealth that he leaned on that put the last nail in the coffin.

troubles became hardships, borrowing became debt, and julien couldn’t shake the comforts familiar to him. if the world wasn’t going to give him what he deserved, he was ambitious enough to take it for himself, and wasn’t shy about crossing the lines to the illegal or immoral. 

thankfully, he didn’t have to do it by himself for too long. it was like meeting the siblings he never had but had known for years. and the trio’s personalities clicked together like a well oil machine, with a penchant for thievery. the machine had a few hiccups over the years that brought them to jail on occasion (ambitions too strong for his own good). but with a knowledge of business and technicalities, and supported by a prominent lawyer who was cal’s aunt, jail couldn’t keep julien contained.

even with minor stints of a few years, the business world tends to be unforgiving to those who don’t already have their fingers buried into the dirt. rather than playing the cat and mouse games of trust and record, julien applied on his own for a cpa license. it has been suspended in the past but given the nature of charges the suspension period ended and he’s maintained his profession as a practicing accountant. those who become his clients must truly see the good in him... or maybe it was the sincere smile.

PERSONALITY

overall julien was raised with manners and maintains the prim and proper appearance one would expect of his pedigree. he is polite, to the point but not blunt, and is sincere in every word he carefully speaks. he engages in others as much as he indulges in himself, but he doesn’t believe there’s any harm in indulgence. he knows when to apply the appropriate amount of seriousness or when to lay back a little, although no one has yet to claim he’s pragmatic.

he approaches everything with a best foot forward attitude, but with the expectation all good things should come his way. this tends to bring out his narcissistic and conceited side, especially when he feels the world is in need to pay its dues. he can be a bit callous to others and their plights, especially if the morality of the situation stands in the way of what he wants. the means justify the ends for him, especially if it benefits him and his two closest friends.

he want to have fun and enjoy every aspect of day-to-day life: sometimes that means going out and partying until he’s plastered, and sometimes it’s pressing others’ personal buttons until he instigates a fight. he’s not angry, nor does he want to see the world burn. he gets bored, and sometimes chaos is the only solution.

at his sum julien is ambitious, and it’s ambitions that often bite more than he can chew. with such an eager whim, one might assume julien is impulsive and often sabotages himself. although the latter is true, julien is careful to keep his boredom entertainment limited when working and calculated to not fall back on him or his adoptive siblings. if anything, this level headed approach to risks and rewards is what makes him a successful accountant and thief. he. just. wants. more.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS
