"i mean, my vote is yes." max tells her, fingers poking into the cage, stroking a sweet black cat's fur, "they're easy to hid when they're this big too. i think you could away with it without anyone noticing for at least two months." now he's considering whether or not he should get a cat despite his very slight allergy (not that it's ever stopped him), "i think that one's imprinting on you. twilight style."

𓇼　　“  this  one  won't  stop  staring  at  me  …  i  think  we  have  a  connection,  ”  she  mutters,  pointing  at  the  kitten  whose  big  blue  eyes  have  yet  to  stray  from  tatum's  every  move.  “  how  bad  of  an  idea  would  it  be  to  bring  a  cat  home  without  warning?  ”

bria stands at the door, an amused look on her face, she's trying not to laugh. his earnestness makes it even more difficult to keep a straight face. she hums, "it's the thought that counts." she contemplates for a moment whether or not fess up before cracking a grin, "i need to confess... i sort of set you up for failure, i can't lie." she pauses, a soft chuckle finally passing her lips, "you asked for the recipe, so i gave you a recipe... but not one that i've ever made. the cookie's i brought were from the store. i just put them on a nice plate." she feels a bit guilty, truthfully, but she laughs a little harder now, shaking her head, "i'm sorry, harrison! but you seemed confident about the cookies and you liked them so much! i'll just tell you what store to go to next time."

she steps aside a little, still snickering, "but come in and have a drink of that whiskey with me. it's the least i can do after my game of deception." she glances at the container of cookies, teasing, "maybe we can leave those out for the sea gulls or something."

STARTER FOR / @minimcl !

    “   you  remember  that  cookie  recipe  you  gave  me  ?  ”   harrison  says  as  way  of  greeting  .  he's  leaning  against  her  doorframe  ,  sheepish  .  he  holds  up  a  container  of  what  sounds  (  and  looks  )�� like  rocks  .  inedible  .  “   yeah  .  that  .  .  .  uh  .  didn't  turn  out  so  well  for  me  .   ”  WHO'S  SURPRISED  ?  harrison  barely  knows  his  way  around  a  kitchen  .  he  made  one  good  carbonara  and  got  overly  confident  ,  thinking  chocolate  chip  cookies  would  be  aces  .   he  has  some  experience  with  chemistry   and  mixing  (  dry  cement  ,  sand  ,  water  .  .  it  can't  be  too  far  off  ,  right  ?  )  .  wrong  .   he  was  just  glad  neither  of  his  kids  were  home  to  see  (  or  smell  )  the  disaster  .     “   don't  eat  ‘em  .   ”  he  adds  ,  pulling  the  tupperware  container  back  ,  as  if  bria  was  two  seconds  away  from  gorging  herself  on  them  .  “   pretty  sure  they're  a  choking  hazard  .  ”   he  runs  a  hand  through  his  hair  .   

harrison's  just  glad  he  didn't  have  to  call  the  fire  department  ,  because  THAT  would  be  embarrassing  .   “   this  is  actually  what  i  brought  for  thanks  .  ”   he  holds  up  a  bottle  of  single  malt  whiskey  ,  with  a  poorly  wrapped  bow  on  it  .   “   for  not  laughing  at  me  when  i  asked  for  the  recipe  .  even  though  you  probably  wanted  to  .  ”

for @veneumfm at lois's place

"do you have any eggs?" max asks, already bee-lining toward his sister's kitchen, "i ran out and y'know i eat like... half a carton a day. i only need maybe five? i can live with just five." his hand's on the fridge handle as he looks over his shoulder at lois, "you aren't plannin' on eating them all, right? i'll totally venmo you! five bucks? seven? what's the going rate for almost half a carton?" he buys groceries (including eggs) regularly, but he's never really focused on cost per item. he didn't go to business school. as long as it's all under fifty dollars, he's happy, "i was gonna go to the store today after work, but got sidetracked. there was a kitten all alone by the shop."

gender identity: cis woman, she/her 

height: 5’7”

children: two, coming soon to a WC page near you...

traits: ambitious, hardworking, responsible, defensive, controlling, self-critical 

label: the mama bear

likes: taking notes, making lists, butter pecan ice cream, getting her nails done, ordering takeout, getting a full 8 hours of sleep (rare), reading the newspaper, corny romance novels, coconut scented shampoo, coffee with too much sugar  

dislikes: being late, yoga, getting emails, astrology, relaxing (she's mostly just BAD at it), facebook moms (even though she kinda is one), the concept of caves, her ex-husband, cookbooks, being asked to make something for a bake sale

BACKGROUND

born in texas to a former dallas cowboys cheerleader and a finance bro (many such cases), bria and her older sister, afeisha, were raised to be the best; their dad instilled ambition in them and their mom held them to a standard when it came to looks (again... many such cases)

she was class president in high school, head cheerleader, captain of the debate team... she could pretty much write her ticket anywhere when it came to college

and she took that ticket to howard where she studied biology on a pre-med track, while at howard in her freshman biology class, she met her future husband, todd morell

todd was perfect on paper and they made the perfect couple and they were both destined to be doctors

when it came time for med school, bria got into johns hopkins, but todd didn't, so she jetted off with him to her second choice in florida

they went to med school, got married, and had two beautiful children

bria graduated med school with flying colors and todd... at the bottom of the class <3

and in a tale as old as time, as their marriage wore on, todd became bitter about her success and was a big baby a lot of time!

the final straw came eight years ago when bria found out about a longstanding affair and filed for divorce (and thank god)

todd moved to arizona and bria stayed put, happy to continue in her role as an er doctor at seaglass hospital

PERSONALITY

type a, everything is organized and if it's not? she's gonna fix it

incredibly smart (which... will my writing reflect? no! but we're gonna try!)

workaholic, always has been and she's not too proud to admit that this helped contribute to the breakdown of her marriage

holds herself to an incredibly high standard, WILL overachieve

her kids are the most important thing in the world to her, only reason she skips work really is if it has to do with them! she is a bit hard on them bc she expects a lot but she's gotten less tough since the divorce i swear

still believes in love! she's been burned and her failure of a marriage and divorce hurt her BAD but she still thinks there could be someone else out there for her

does not like to talk about her ex or her divorce, is generally emotionally intelligent but... not when it comes to THAT

very protective of those she loves

works well under pressure bc all her life she's been forced to!

is a truly terrible cook, might burn down her kitchen someday

BACKGROUND

the youngest of the lockhart clan and it SHOWS; has pretty much never had a responsibility in his life, enjoys being the (6 foot tall) baby

when his parents split up and his dad remarried he was mad and sad, of course, but he also gives his dad more grace than he probably should —heart's too big

he was pretty popular in high school, was voted prom king etc., but he wasn't very good academically

his TRUE passion was always surfing, has been from a young age, and he often was late to school because he was busy on the beach doing what he wanted to do

he tried college for a year, studying sports medicine at university of california san diego, but it really wasn't his Thing so he dropped out and kinda just went up and down the cali coast surfing and hanging out

when his siblings started moving to palmview he was like WAIT UP and decided to settle there too, thinking he'd maybe find some direction or at least have some fun

and well... he is lowkey living his dream, he's teaching surf lessons and just a guy being a dude doing dude stuff

PERSONALITY

a sweet boy!

the type to go out of his way to be nice to you, not a particularly helpful neighbor per say but a very good neighbor

pretty irresponsible, but not maliciously, just kinda accidental

chaotic good to the core

not the sharpest tool in the shed, but makes up for it in kindness

naturally kind of flirty, has definitely broken someone's heart like... on accident just bc he's the type to keep 327 unread texts and doesn't always pick up on the flirtation of others

never beating the loverboy allegations though, goes HARD when he has a crush

has never met a stranger, will immediately treat you like a friend unless you're overtly mean to him at which point he just feels kind of neutrally, no hard feelings

definitely fits the chill surfer dude vibe

loves his family! would go to war for his siblings, it's true

a true_friend.mp3, always gonna be there when you need him!
