"listen, lady— i'm happily taken too. there's no need act like that." scoffs the homme. his eyes roll as he readjusts himself in his seat; the ego on some people. "signature drink, huh?" eyebrows raise & he slowly nods his head in approval. "i've never actually had a sweet and sour drink before⸻ what's your name then? i'd like to order one of 'em for myself."

"mhm. sure, like i believe that," she rolls her eyes, tossing her hair with a flick of her wrist. the question makes her look down at her drink, though, and she looks a little bit smug. "oh. it's just my signature drink, named after me and all. it's sour and sweet." it definitely hadn't caught on yet, but she was determined to change that.

with nothing better to do on her break, darcy thought it would be a good idea to get some fresh air — although with things in town going the way they are recently, she isn't entirely sure how comfortable she felt being outside. who knows what could happen.

while enjoying the sounds of nature, darcy can't help but notice the blonde as he takes out a cigarette; his energy seems to be bursting at the seams. teeth cringe together she watches the folder fall to the ground. empathy takes over as it immediately becomes apparently that something is bothering him.

"here- let me get that for ya." says darcy as she's already halfway bent over to pick up the folder. she clears her throat, standing awkwardly for a few seconds after having already handed it back. "..how are you doing today, sir?" question is genuine. she offers a smile.

Location: Outside the Daily Grind Open to all!

Laurent had never been so broke. Not since he was a kid.

He thought of his Greco-roman style Villa, the one he had left behind in Monaco and almost just started weeping. He thought of the pool and the courtyard, and the fact that he had staff. God he missed having people to do things for him. How he fucking missed having a maid. There was no way he was able to afford one now and who knew using a vacuum could be so frustrating.

With a slim folder full of sheet music tucked under his arm, Laurent was scowling like a leopard with a headache when she reached into his coat pocket for a cigarette. He was just bougie enough to have his own little slim metal case, the kind that even had a space for your zippo if you were so inclined. Laurent was a matches kind of guy though.

Laurent had the cigarette between his teeth, hands cupped around the end to spare himself a non-light situation and was half contemplating a latte when he dropped his folder. The thing was zipped tight, thank god, so nothing went scattering but still. Laurent dropped his head back and had a vicious and violent thought that did little to calm the tension curling like vines around his bones. He wanted to start screaming.

He sucked hard on the cigarette and with his pride long abandoned, bent down to pick up his belongings.

miles is immediately brought back to earth at the sound of the blonde's voice. "huh?" a blank stare is met with a hint of confusion as he tries to figure out what the hell is going on. "oh, don't go flattering yourself too much.. i was just lost in thought and you happened to be in front of me." a quick glimpse at the drink sat in front of her causes his eyebrows to raise slightly. "i will admit though— that drink looks fuckin' heavenly. what is it?"

who: mikey and anyone!

where: the sasquatch

"i don't know why you're staring at me," mikey snaps at someone nearby to her, crossing her arms defiantly. "i'm a happily taken woman." she's not, but a girl can dream.

PERSONALITY,

› overview. a heart far too big for this cruel world. overly trusting of others and always expects the best of out people; it's gotten her into trouble more than once but she refuses to rewire her brain into thinking differently. simply doesn't have a mean bone in her body; even when arguing with someone, she fights fairly and hardly ever swears.. › traits. naïve, friendly, nervous, warm, stubborn › labels. the sweetheart, the mom friend, the amateur cinematographer

BACKSTORY,

warning! teenage pregnancy, parental death

› born and raised huntsville by her 17-year-old mother, molly doolittle, and grandmother, gertrude doolittle. a spoiled rotten little girl who was absolutely adored by her caregivers; as afraid as her mother was to find out she was pregnant, there was a whole village behind her. the duo were loved and supported through it all. › darcy got just about everything she wanted but managed to grow up to be appreciative and humble. she often donated clothes and toys that she no longer needed and gave money to the homeless every chance she got. a heart of gold doesn't even begin to describe her. › even before her personality and interests started to develop, darcy always loved cameras. she was the star of any picture and recording. as she got older, she slowly started to prefer staying behind the camera but her love for filming and photographing only grew. shortly before passing away, her grandmother gifted her a light pink digital camera along with a few glitter stickers to put on it— this is something she still uses to this day, more than ten years later. › darcy's world crashed and burned at the mere age of 7; the paradox wasn't something she was expecting to happen. her mother tried desperately to protect her daughter- though it costed her her own life, leaving a young and helpless darcy to defend herself.. the most she could do was hide. she climbed and hid in a tree, only to be rescued two days later. survival would have been impossible alone. › the death of her mother and primary caretaker struck something in darcy that wouldn't easily be mended; she had gone mute due to what she witnessed that night. she was deeply afraid of everything and everyone and had no idea what to trust. after the horrors she had seen, she was ready to die up in that tree. but fate had other plans for her. she moved into the commune shortly after it was created. › a few years later, darcy slowly started to open up, though she was still incredibly shy and didn't warm up to new people right away. it took a very long time but she finally returned to her true self; a film-loving sweetheart who loves meeting new people. it was a difficult journey..

OTHER TIDBIDS,

› she records almost everything on her digital camera as she feels it's important to document what they're going through in case they ever escape it › literally too kind for her own good. she's overly trusting of others and simply doesn't expect others to be mean for no reason.. though there are a lot of people like that in the world › girly has no idea how to fight lmao, she'll walk away the second someone raises their voice at her

› full name. miles anderson power › nickname/s. › age. 28 years old › gender, pronouns. cis man, he/him › sexuality. bisexual › occupation. cemetery groundskeeper › role. hunter › arrived at huntsville. 3 years ago › aesthetics. letting your sister give you a (bad) haircut. stick-and-poke tattoos. the overpowering smell of weed when opening your truck door. worn out sneakers. playing with your lip rings when you're bored. a voice that carries. sending nothing but memes in a group chat. swearing a lot. smoking after a stressful day. getting weird looks from strangers..

PERSONALITY,

› overview. doesn't like to sugarcoat things and holds the same expectations for others, especially regarding bad news; doesn't like when people aren't direct with him. loud and obnoxious to most; isn't the best 'people person' and oftentimes doesn't really know how to act around others. means well with everything he does, even if it doesn't seem like it. messy but organized; his room is a mess but he can tell you exactly where his notebook is in there, he's like that with most things in his life. down-to-earth and romantic once you look past the mess. will put others before himself.. › traits. straightforward, organized, overprotective, loud, sarcastic › labels. the runaway, the papabear, the stoner

BACKSTORY,

warning! implied neglect

› born and raised in a village located in the-middle-of-nowhere, illinois, to andy and lisa power— a couple who proved that not everyone deserves to be parents. › everyone born within the village is taught to worship its leader, a man by the name of ezekiel. nobody ever saw him, it was actually considered a blessing to be able to see and talk to him in person. the cultists only ever got messages through ezekiel's spokesperson. they were living in a small village of sticks and stones while their leader lived like royalty.. but nobody ever saw a problem with this. › was over the moon about being an older brother. he was just a child at the time and knew very well that he would be the one to raise her; in fact, he hoped their parents would stay away so that he could protect her from the horrors that he had witnessed and been through up to that point. what kind of parent lets their child go to a public sacrifice? › miles had been brainwashed into believing everything ezekiel said and did. he was a true devout and was actually in line to become one of the leader's spokespersons.. that was until he wandered too far outside the village's parameters one day and talked to an outsider for the very first time; they helped open his eyes and see just how bad the cult really is. › he spent years planning the perfect escape, having to play along like everything was okay once he was awoken was one of the hardest things he's ever had to do; but his sister would be able to lead a normal life one day and that was all the motivation he needed. › in the middle of the night of his twenty-fifth birthday is when he took his sister and executed his escape plan. everything was going perfectly until she stepped on a bear trap. after debating on what he should do, miles scooped her in his arms and kept making a run for it. the woods were nearly impossible to navigate but he eventually saw a light in the distance that he could follow.. › it's then that he realized the unfamiliarity of this place; there was no way this town was so close to their village without anyone knowing about it. little did he know that he and his sister had stumbled into a paradox: huntsville.

OTHER TIDBIDS,

› grows and sells his own weed › literally hates talking about his parents and the cult! he's actually curated a lie about where he and his sister came from— if you ask him for their past, he'll tell you they're from new york city and were going on a road trip before getting stuck in the paradox, and that they had crashed and that's why his sister was injured when they arrived › feels like he should have a burning hatred in his heart because of his past but he just... doesn't. he seriously sees ending up in huntsville as a blessing- there's no telling what would have happened if they hadn't › there's no "small talk" phase with him. even if you just met two minutes ago, he'll ask you what your hopes and dreams are and start talking about different conspiracies dkfjghdfkjhg
