location : 12welve , lower level lounge area status : open to anyone !
he's holding court , basically , as is the norm for cash - because when he's out like this , he's cash and not really ben , more gregarious and funny and charming , his regular self , just on ten . the people around him laugh at a joke he makes and that allows him to excuse himself from the crowd , wanting another beer that is for sure comped because he and the bartender are old friends , go way back , got him for the one thing that one time at the one place , whatever . he's waiting for said beer when someone bumps into him and as opposed to getting mad enought to start swinging , ben looks down with a wide grin . “ watch out , if i wasn't here , you'd be falling flat on your ass . ”

ben is immediately reminded , as soon as she draws his attention to the man , that he is in the presence of a lit fuse at all times . he's glad that he's not made to be a victim of her fire ( most of the time ) but he recognizes that is , in part , because he's not actively a wild dickhead . he looks around for anymore drinks that might be laying around in front of giselle . “ i'm not tryna smell like a bar , you got any problems with me you wanna fix right now without the involvement of a cocktail ? ” he smiles at her fondly , despite his words .
⋆ open starter ⋆ upper level lounge
" you see that guy down there? " giselle nods to the balcony overlooking 12welve's packed dance floor where a man who looks like he just got into a wet tshirt contest is standing dumbfounded. " some girl just threw her drink on him. i think it was his girlfriend, but he's kinda ugly so i'm not sure. " she giggles as he takes off into the bathroom and not after the potential girlfriend. there goes his kiss. " you ever throw a drink on someone? gotta say, it's so therapeutic. "

she actually does have a band - aid but jo is an asshole , first and foremost , so as she shifts in the bar stool and ignores the mini first aid kit she has shoved in her little shoulder bag , she eyes the other up and down . “ did you go crashing into everyone like a little bowling ball ? ” she figures she's allowed to be a little shit , they're roommates after all . “ did you get a strike ? ”
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 + 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘. 12welve, 11:30pm. 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗠. open for anyone! capping at 5 replies.
❪ 🐹 ❫ … 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴. phoenix is lucky no one had witnessed her fall, too busy chatting and dancing to pay attention to whoever is coming up and down the stairs, but now there was a stinging graze on her knee and more importantly, a rip in her fishnet stockings! they hobble over to the bar where it's surprisingly a little less crowded, turns to the nearest person with a sheepish smile. “ hey, do you happen to have a band-aid on you? i mght've ... tripped down the stairs. it's no biggie. ”

jolene doesn't smoke , not anymore , as some sort of treat to herself to stop inhaling nicotine in order to not have her lungs look like the little pictures on the box . however , the smell of smoke still sort of enamored her , reminded her of watching her father clean house at a hazy pool hall and then blow through that money at a casino later . the smoking area of a club called to her like the fuckin' green goblin mask so she barely even had to be convinced to follow nory out to the spot . her own lighter , a zippo with an intricate dragon design carved into it , lies heavy in her purse . “ those things are bad for you , did you know that ? ” she's smirking , teasing , pushing open the door for the both of them .
🗝️ open to everyone. ⏰ 12:22am @ 12welve.
🪐 : her capacity for clubs has a finite limit & tonight's full attendance is truly putting that to the test. deep breath in, deep breath out. it's fine. it's fun. it's— 〝 i need out. 〞 is what spills out of her mouth. nory blinks, like she's surprised by her own revelation, then pushes herself away from the booth. she's already fumbling around her pockets, winded relief at the outline of her lucky lighter. 〝 m' gonna go smoke, is what i mean. 〞 she doesn't bother with invitations, simply begins to make her way through the sea of people.

「 ₊ ☆ ゚ jessica alexander, she/her, cis woman 」 incoming text: omg hv u met jolene knox of the nariza bois yet ? they’re one of the crew’s mechanics n actually go by 8 - ball. the twenty - five y/o is typically seen hanging arnd vogue videos. allegedly they’re frm miami , fl n hv been w/ the crew for two years. wtvr. just watch out for them, k ? ttyl ! 「 ₊ ☆゚ alyssa, twenty6, she/her, est 」 ( pinterest )

name . jolene rhiannon knox age . twenty5 zodiac . scorpio place of birth . miami , fl current residence . hialeah , miami , fl sexuality . pansexual book . stardust by neil gaiman song . walk away by kelly clarkson artist . christina aguilera color . green food . cubano drink . apple juice / beer tv show . the hills movie . empire records languages . english , spanish , french , minimal portuguese .
jolene ( pls just call her jo actually ) grew up in miami . her mom is from paris and spent a couple years partying in south beach , found a cute guy from new orleans , and they had a baby aka jo ! then her mom decided she wanted to keep partying so she packed up her shit and dipped when jo was around four , leaving her dad to raise her . he mostly carted her around with him to pool halls and the race tracks , teaching her how to bet on the right horses or , more importantly , how to run game on a guy at a pool table and buy herself a good dinner
by the time she was in middle school , jo was basically taking care of herself . she began to trail around with the neighbors' kids , who babysat her most of the time , and following them around . they would sneak out at night to go to the races and jo would tag along , a scrawny little kid in big tees and even bigger jeans . she would watch , silently and in awe , as the racers displayed their cars for everyone to see and described their set ups . she memorized as many words as she could , going to her local library after school to check out books on cars .
at fifteen , she got a job as an apprentice at rodani wheels and began working on cars to earn herself a bit of extra cash ( when she wasn't running pockets at pool halls ) and learn as much about cars as possible . while she can fix almost anything now , she became extremely fascinated by the tech part of it all and began working on customizing cars thru computers , which made her very popular amongst up and coming racers who wanted all the new tech - y shit on their cars ( just think jesse in the fast and the furious )
she quit her job at the shop when she graduated high school and instead of going to college , which she probably should've because she was a genius with computers , she began to work on people's cars and their mods one - on - one . this allowed her to rent a nice little place in hialeah as well as pay for all her little gadgets that she loves , her very cute party outfits , and got her a black nissan 370z with a glow in the dark green 8 ball on the driver's side door ( hence the name ! )
when the nariza bois first formed , she was on board 100% . it allowed her to make a mark in a way that she felt she couldn't with the prowlers , as they already had all the best mechs and she felt she'd get lost in a sea of ‘em over there . she’s very proud to be where she is and is even more proud of what she's able to do under the hood .

「 ₊ ☆ ゚ kofi siriboe, he/him, cis man 」 incoming text: omg hv u met benjamin obeng of the rodani prowlers yet ? they’re one of the crew’s street racers n actually go by cash. the thirty y/o is typically seen hanging arnd coyote casino. allegedly they’re frm oakland , ca n hv been w/ the crew for six years. wtvr. just watch out for them, k ? ttyl ! 「 ₊ ☆゚ alyssa, twenty6, she/her, est 」 ( pinterest )

name . benjamin addae obeng age . thirty zodiac . capricorn place of birth . oakland , ca current residence . wynwood , miami , fl sexuality . pansexual book . holes by louis sachar song . i get around by tupac artist . e - 40 color . blue food . burrito drink . mango juice / rum & coke tv show . sopranos movie . the wood languages . english , spanish .
ben grew up in oakland and he will not let you forget it , he is all “ the bay this the bay that ” it can be very annoying but he loves where he's from okay ?? his mom raised him on her own , his dad was just simply never in the picture and ben never got a proper answer on where he was other than “ he's down south ” . so he grew up with his mom and his great - aunt , who babysat him whenever his mom was working , which was often .
at one point , his mom was a receptionist at a garage near their apartment and she would have him stop by after school to get the keys . instead , he would stick around , watching the men work on the cars and learning the basics from them . even after his mom got a better job , that's where he spent his afternoons . the youngers guys would then bring him along whenever they went to the old tracks nearby and do some friendly races . eventually , they put him behind the wheel and before he even entered high school , ben was racing like a grown man .
at around sixteen , he began to get into trouble with racing and on the fifth arrest , his mom packed him up & sent him “ down south ” … to miami . his dad was a truck driver who was never home but his mom thought that maybe a change of scenery would help guide ben away from that kinda life . she could not have been more wrong . he immediately found the racing scene while in miami and initially , he began racing with his dad's little corolla but he got himself enough money to buy a blue skyline gt - r real cheap . it wasn't long before he joined the prowlers , racing with them full time and getting his car perfect for races .
he did graduate high school but never went to college . he was always decent at math tho , so he began to hit up the casino for the occasional game . he does keep it casual though , because he's seen his dad spend their last there and he doesn't wanna ever come to that point . he moved out the minute he turned eighteen and they are not close but he talks to his mom pretty often , not blaming her one bit for sending him off bc he knew he was a little shit .
fun fact , he lives on a boat ! he's basically brian o'conner in 2fast2furious idc .
