“that wasn’t fucking funny.” joey was normally pretty mild mannered, but after the ryan house had been broken into while she and the kids were all sleeping, she was certainly more on edge. it seemed that the latest uptick in strange occurrences had also inspired a rash of practical jokers too and she was not fucking in the mood after a particularly long shift at the diner. “christ jesus, this is not the night for that shit.”

it wasn’t her nature to get riled up over a joke, but she was still shaken about the rearranged furniture in her living and dining room that had been some kind of strange, unexplained piece of the break-in. at first she had even attributed it to her mom--a woman who was often so drunk she’d wear a constellation of bruises from myriad unexplained events. sighing in annoyance, joey rounded the corner to the parking lot. “are you really having car trouble or was that bullshit too?” she’d heard it from some other patron of the diner, so she didn’t even know if it was true, but she had some jumper cables in her car.”

( maika monroe + cisfemale + she/her ) / who’s that rustling through the trees? oh, it’s just you, JOSEPHINE ‘JOEY’ RYAN. i happen to know that you’re a TWENTY THREE year old WAITRESS at the SAPSUCKER DINER. while you’re from CRESCENT LAKE, you’re currently living in the NORTH CRESCENT NEIGHBORHOOD. i think that you’re AMIABLE & STALWART but my mama says you’re MELANCHOLY & RESERVED. is that BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE by NEW ORDER currently playing on your spotify? well, turn it down please, you’re disrupting the peace. ( lucia + 31 + she/her + pst )

hey folks, still lucia, even though this icon doesn’t match the rest of my motif ( it’s bc velouria made it for me at an old rp and i can’t let it go, because it’s too damn beautiful !! ). below the cut, you’ll learn more about joey ryan. waitress at the sapsucker diner ! tw parent death, alcoholism.

joey’s father went missing when she was thirteen. the second of four kids--three girls and a boy--joey and her sister heather looked out for the younger katie and edmund while their mother worked and drowned her sorrows in cooking wine and daytime television. heather moved out at age twenty and had twins with her high school sweetheart. things seemed to be improving for the ryans and joey was looking forward to getting out of crescent lake and going to college after graduation and fulfilling her dream of being a writer.

in the fall of joey’s senior year, heather and her boyfriend died in a car accident, leaving their mother felicity ryan completely shut down and heather’s twins orphaned. since then joey has worked hard to maintain her mother’s image ( though most people suspect that joey takes care of the children ) in order to keep custody of her siblings, niece and nephew. she waits tables at the sapsucker diner and does odd jobs for those who need a helping hand or occasional child care. there’s little time to write--she’s lucky if she can finish a book that isn’t an audio book--but joey still dreams of leaving crescent lake some day.
