CHARACTER PLAYLIST

tw: death, cancer, drinking

Asa was born and raised in Manchester, England. He didn’t grow up with money and at the time his dad worked over time a lot to keep food on the table and the lights on.

His mum got sick when he was 16 and was shortly diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Asa took on a lot of the pressure as he didn’t like to see his dad struggle with everything. He was young but he cared for his mum whilst his dad continued to go out and work. Though it was a lot for him to do as a child it’s not something he ever regrets. He knew he did what he could at the time to help.

He was just 18 when his mother passed and he was heart broken. He felt lost and didn’t know how to handle the news and drank his feelings away.

When he turned 20 his uncle got in touch who lived in Hidehill. He told him and his dad about the family fishing business and how he planned to retire in years to come. 

His uncle didn’t have kids himself and needed somebody to pass the business on to which is where Asa and his family came in. 

The family moved out to Hidehill and began to learn the ins and outs of the business and how it operated as one of the biggest fish providers for the town and eventually within the last year he took over as his Uncle retired.

Asa prefers to keep himself busy as it keeps his mind off of things like his mothers passing, his bad drinking habits etc.

                                          If I die young, bury me in satin                                           Lay me down on a bed of roses                                             Sink me in the river at dawn                                Send me away with the words of a love song                                             The sharp knife of a short life                                             Well, I've had just enough time

Asa had been having a great time at Mike’s party. He had been drinking, but not too much, he was speaking with friends he hadn’t spoke to in a long time and he’d managed to steal a kiss from Sasha who he had been crushing on since they met at the diner. The party was getting hectic and fights were breaking out constantly which he was putting down to the fact there was a killer on the loose. Emotions were heightened and he kind of understood why everything was happening all at once. He was ready to finish up his drink and head home soon when he was outside getting so much needed fresh air to sober himself up a little, a cigarette in hand whilst he was finishing it off.

The man heard some footsteps close by, assuming it was once of his friends he didn’t react much to it considering the party was heaving and he was pretty sure most if not all the residents of Hidehill were here. The party was a success as far as his opinions went, how could it not be? “I’m almost finished and then we can head back” he inhaled the final part of his cigarette, dropping the cigarette to the ground and stomping it out. Once he exhaled the smoke he’d held in his mouth he began to turn around, it was cut short by a sudden thump to his head.

Asa doesn’t recall who hit him, when he hit the ground, when he was dragged to wherever or how he ended up in the situation he was in. His vision was blurred, he was seeing at least two of everything as he tried to figure out where he was. He felt cold, uneasy and as though he wasn’t somewhere stable. He felt as though his world was suddenly crashing down as he realised the gravity of the situation he was suddenly in as he came round a little more.

He felt blood trickling at the back of his head, his hands tied behind his back, he could see he was high up on ledge that wasn’t stable at all. Was that a noose around his neck? Oh fuck. His head pounding from being hit out of nowhere, he couldn’t think straight and the more he panicked the more he had no idea what the fuck to do in the situation. All the possibilities he could think of did not have an ending that he made it out of this alive. His eyes scattered the location he was in. Where the fuck was he? He shuffled on the spot trying to figure out what the fuck kind of contraption he was in.

He squinted his eyes a little to try and focus, the knock on his head not helping as he was pretty certain he was concussed right now. He could see some sort of wires leading to a door, the noose around his neck making it obvious what would seal his fate, the ledge he was on? He could only presume the wired door had something to do with that. He was fucked. Tears began rolling down his face because he knew exactly what was about to happen. 

The moment the letter ‘A’ was revealed he just had this awful feeling in the pit of his stomach, he just knew it would be him. What the fuck did he ever do to anyone to deserve this? He thought about everything he had done over his thirty years on this earth. He’d spent most of his teen years nursing his mother through her cancer, he gave up his childhood to make sure his mother was comfortable in her final years on this earth, he packed his bags and moved across the world to learn his uncles business so that he could retire. He’d spent ten years in this town providing fish to the business’ and hadn’t made one single enemy. He had been nothing but kind to everyone so what the fuck had he done to deserve this? Nothing. Thirty years was no age.

He stood on the ledge with nothing else to think about other than the fact he was waiting to fucking die. Who would look after the business? Who would look after his dad now that he would be gone? Who would even find him? Where was he? How long would it be until he was found? Who was going to kill him? Would it be the killer? Would it be some poor fucker who stumbles across him? Is this shit on some sort of timer? Who the fuck was going to look after his dad when he was gone? He just had so many questions and no way of getting the answers anymore.

He stood there thinking of all the possible things when suddenly it hit him. He remembered something, he furrowed his brows at the memory. What the fuck? Surely not. It couldn’t be them.. could it? No.. they wouldn’t do that to him, he had never done anything to them? They were friends? This had to be a coincidence because he’d literally only ever been nice to them. His mind was spiralling over the thought when he suddenly heard footsteps close by, his thought process interrupted as the panic set in immediately.

“No! No, no, no! Don’t! Please!” He called out, he pleaded to the footsteps that sounded as though they were getting closer. The tears flowing out of his eyes as he called out to beg for his life. He had no idea who it was, was it the killer? Was it his fucking friend? Was it someone coming to help him? He had no idea he just knew the moment that door was pushed open then his life was over. His eyes flicking around the room from the door, to the ledge he was on, to the noose and the wires around connecting everything. His heart pounding in his chest as he felt helpless, he was waiting to die in this moment and all he could do was plead for his life.

The sounds of the ledge falling to the ground with a thud, the sound of the rope moving against something behind him as it moved to tighten up with the door opening, the room fell silent for a moment as the noose tightened around his neck leaving him to hang there, the rope swinging slightly with small creaks.

Everything was in slow motion from the moment he heard the handle on the door move, the creaks as it was pushed open, the moment something seemed to block it temporarily as they struggled to fully open it and the moment the ledge slipped from underneath him. Everything was slow for him.

Asa: I'm about to leave the party

Asa: I couldn't find you to let you know but wanted to know if you were at mel's tomorrow?

Asa: I'll stop by for some breakfast and to see you if so

For the past few weeks, Asa had clearly caught the attention of the young waitress. The playful banter, the obvious flirting, she should’ve seen this progression in their relationship coming. From acquaintances to making out in the kitchen after she’d already made out with Jordan on the dance floor which apparently set the young man off. Without a word from her, Sasha reached her hands up to wrap around the back of his neck, letting her lips align with his, head tilting into the kiss and her eyes slowly closing.

x

Asa was happy the girl hadn’t pushed him off, it was probably a strange time for him to make his move but there was no time like the present. He hadn’t realised just how much he was crushing on the waitress until he had to witness her kissing another man on the dance floor. It brought out his jealous side which he wasn’t proud of to say the least. He wrapped his arms around her lower back and pulled her body closer towards him as he continued to kiss Sasha.

[asajohnson]

His story was incredibly interesting, she wondered what he would’ve done with his life had he not relocated to Hidehill of all places. He was a handsome man, she could have easily seen him running his own financial firm. But maybe that was just her 50 Shades fantasies coming out and reflecting onto the man standing before her. “Well, I graciously thank you for the fish being served at Mel’s..” she teased in a jovial tone, reaching out to gently swipe a bead of sweat from Asa’s forehead. “Not boring at all… but I get that you’re probably tired of telling it..” 

x

“Right” Asa smiled down at Sasha, he didn’t know what it was but there was something that drew him to her. Any other girl that called him out for his behaviour, or asked what his damage was he would have walked away from. For whatever reason he chased Sasha down and felt the need to explain himself and that had to mean something right? “If I got the wrong impression then just stop me alright?” He said as he placed his hand softly on her face before leaning in and kissing her.

[asajohnson]

Sasha took a few moments of silence just to cool off, looking the man over a few times and collecting her thoughts. Surely he didn’t mean to upset her in the way that he did, so she decided to let it go. “Yeah… like whitener..” she retorted with a playful grin, letting out a soft sigh as she looked him in the eyes. “So… why did you move here?”

x

“Yes, like whitener.” He laughed “Still a bit confused on how it’s not a thing that’s said here but I guess I can move on from the awkward interaction.” he grinned “Well my mum got sick, cancer actually, when she died my uncle from this town got in touch as he didn’t have kids and wanted to retire from the fishing business but had nobody to take over.” He sipped at his drink before continuing “So he moved us over here ten years ago, showed me the ropes and now I run the company.  The fish you serve at Mel’s? you’re welcome.” He nodded “It’s a very boring story to explain over and over.”

Casey flicked his brows at the other man’s comments about faults. He had no room to talk so he just let that sentence go. He turned a bit to look back at the party and he sighed, “Too loud.” He mumbled quietly. It did nothing good for his anxiety so he was really trying to stay out of it as much as he could. But he knew he had to go in there and every now and again and just…survey the area.

Hearing Asa’s question about his phone, Casey sighed softly and shrugged, “Just…reviewing things.” He said with a nod, “Been looking into the Shadow shit and just–” He shrugged, “Work better alone kind of guy, I guess.” To be honest, Casey hadn’t worked on a case alone ever. He always had Pat by his side. However, look at where that got him. Perhaps working alone was for the best, “No, you’re fine. Stay as long as you want.” He offered with a shrug, “I might just cramp your style.”

x

“Well what have you come up with so far?” Asa asked as his little investigation had peaked his interest, he took a drag from his cigarette and held it for a moment before exhaling in the opposite direction of Casey. “Got anything promising yet? I can’t piece anything together to be honest. I think it’s because I feel like my heads on the chopping block.” He somewhat joked “They couldn’t have picked another letter of the alphabet? They already skipped A so why did they go back?” He sighed.

[asajohnson]

Sasha was now slowly moving into confusion. Sure they flirted here and there but she didn’t think he was that interested in here. Either way, she studied his features for a moment before fully turning to face him and leaning back for a moment. “So you decided to be an asshole because you were jealous? Did you think your accent was enough to win me over?” she asked with narrowed eyes, trying to gauge where this man’s mind was at.

x

“Well it wasn’t exactly me being an asshole it was a bit of banter” he half smiled “but I get how it comes off that way. I’m sorry, fresh start?” He offered a friendly smile. “To be honest I don’t really think the accent works on anyone, just opens up a lot of questions of why the fuck I moved over here and that’s a whole conversation. You guys use different terms for shit too that iI gotta learn.”

[asajohnson]

sashakang​:

Sasha turned back in his direction, eyes narrowing with a tilt of her head. She was still stuck in utter disbelief because he’d been making small digs at her makeout session with Jordan all night. “I don’t know what the fuck your damage is, but I don’t owe you anything. Go find someone else to fuckin annoy.” she rolled her eyes and snatched her arm away to once again make her attempt at leaving.

x

“Aw, come on” He smiled as he called out to her once more “Listen, If I’d have known you’d react this way I wouldn’t have played around. That’s my bad, love.” He let out a little sigh as he stepped closer to her once more. “I’ll confess I’m poking fun a little because I might be a tad bit jealous that it wasn’t me alright? I thought you were cute when I was at the diner.”

[asajohnson]

sashakang​:

x

Sasha sat there in utter shock at the words that’d just left Asa’s mouth. Flabbergasted wouldn’t even begin to explain the feeling she was experiencing because how very dare he say something like that? He wasn’t wrong, not at all, but that didn’t change the fact that Sasha was pissed off by him saying that. “Fuck you.” she retorted before turning on her heels to step away from him before she did something she regretted.

x

Asa had a smug expression on his face as he watched her react, he couldn’t help but torment her and it seemed with a bit of alcohol in his system that mischievous side came out more than usual. He playfully rolled his eyes as he watched her turn to walk away, a smile on his face as he took a swig from his drink “Hey, hey, hey” he called out as he lightly grabbed her hand “I’m just playin’ with ya come on” he smiled. “I’m just fuckin’ around, love.”

[asajohnson]

sashakang​:

Sasha’s eyes narrowed at the British gentleman for just a moment. He just had to talk about the one thing that would be eating at her for the next few weeks, didn’t he? Either way, she’d won their little drinking contest and she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. As her eyes made their way over to him, she pulled him closer with a mischievous grin playing on her glossed lips. “Pretend to be my boyfriend so Jordan doesn’t do anything weird again.”

x

Asa continued to sip at his drink that he actually enjoyed rather than the shots people seemed to be getting him to do. He turned to fully face Sasha as he leaned on the table in front of them as he waited on what she had in store for him. “Eh?” He responded as he almost choked on the drink in his mouth, he stood up straight and raised a brow at her. “That guy?” He pointed over at Jordan, “You want me to get involved with the man you were just sucking the face off of?” He couldn’t help but laugh.

“There’s literally no way.” Amelia laughed, her hand waving at him as if to point the obvious. “You must be absolutely blind!” Mel laughed and then had a thought. “I have a girlfriend. I wasn’t like hitting on you.” She clarified with a sheepish smile, not wanting Asa to think this was her not so subtle way of coming on to him. “It does - I have Brandon and Percy tagging me at all times. I think we’ll be just fine, honestly. The killer has been silent - maybe that’s a good thing.” She glanced down at the shirt, noting it was basically dry. She shut off the hair dryer and held up the button down. “Good as new!!”

x

“No need for clarification, love.” He laughed for a moment as she spoke to clear her name. “Yeah, I honestly think we’ll be fine tonight. It’s the days we have to be alone that might be the scary ones. Just make sure you’re watching at all times?” He smiled at her softly as he took the shirt off of her and began to redress himself. “Nice one, you’re a star” he grinned “but yeah, make sure you keep safe alright? Don’t want this to be my last memory of you.”

[asajohnson]

sashakang​:

x

“Why do you have to bring that up?” she asked with raised eyebrows, rolling her eyes. She didn’t really want to discuss the display she and Jordan had put on, ever again if she could help it. She waved it off either way and nodded her head. “One… two… three..” she immediately grabbed the shot glasses, downing them as quickly as she could in an attempt to win their little competition.

x

“Just making conversation, innit.” Asa smiled with a small shrug deciding maybe it wasn’t best to push the topic since she didn’t seem impressed with herself. He took the shots slowly purposely, he figured whatever she had in mind might have been fun considering she suggested the game. “Wow, you beat me,  imagine that?” he grinned.

[asajohnson]

dannyxanderson​:

“They aren’t my thing either.” Danny agreed, clapping Asa on the shoulder in a friendly manner. “Used to smoke weed in high school but that was the extent of it.” And it probably would always be. He had other ways to find that escape that didn’t involve loosing total control of his being under the influence. Danny made a face - he wasn’t going to say anything but the house did start to smell. “Yeah, let go,” He motioned for them to walk towards the front of the door. “You smoke?” Danny asked curiously, vaguely remembering that he might occasionally. “Cause I could use one once we get outside.”

x

“See I was definitely more of a drinker in my prime years” the man nodded “shit was wild, we can drink a lot younger over there and well.. we had adults buying us drinks from the corner shops when we were kids as well.” He smiled as he reminisced from his childhood before walking out the door with Danny. “Socially” he nodded “today is one of them days so I won’t say no to that” he grinned.

“Only if it works both way, no fun in playing all by yourself. Besides you’re a fisherman aren’t? You should know better than anyone that it’s takes more than one thing to catch something.” Veronica took another drink and studied him. “I do think if you were going to do something you would’ve already done it but if you just wanted my attention all you had to do was ask.” Veronica teased and put her hand. “Veronica. I’m a singer at Cadillac Lounge.”

x

Asa laughed as he drank some more from the cup in his hand as he nodded. “Well, my mistake next time I know just to ask.” He smiled “The Cadillac Lounge?” He repeated “Well, at least I know where to find you. If I show up does that mean you’ll sing me a song?” he joked.

[asajohnson]

faithxwillcms​:

“I get that completely. i love the friends i’ve made here but nothing compares to home.” nothing could ever compare to southampton or even cambridge where she lived during her college years.  "i miss being able to go to nandos late at night. my friends and i did that a lot during my college years late at night.“ there was nothing that could compare to home. and everything that went along with it. at the mention of the world cup, she couldn’t help but to raise an eyebrow. "speaking of the world cup, you’re more than welcome to watch if with me this year if you want.” she offered. she knew sometimes watching sporting events with someone was better than watching alone. “when i first moved here, i said i had to go to the loo once and everyone in my class at the time thought i was beyond weird. they apparently didn’t know it meant bathroom.” she still said that too from time to time. “i’m starting to think it’s everyone for themselves here with how useless the police are.”

x

“Shit, nothing beats a good nandos.” He laughed “my bad, should I say a cheeky nandos.. I can’t believe they don’t have them here. I miss that shit.” He was happy to be speaking to somebody who understood where he was coming from or what he was actually saying. “Mate, you have yourself a deal. This November we’re gonna raid Dave’s for all the beer, set ourselves up a nice little watch party and absolutely go crazy, yeah?” He laughed “Well, you announced it better than I did. I told them I needed the toilet and they looked at me like a monster.. I learned bathroom was the correct term here and nothing else.” He chuckled at the memory.

[asajohnson]

sashakang​:

Sasha had closed her eyes for a moment, hoping that she’d heard him wrong but the moment she realized she hadn’t heard him wrong at all she just sat there staring at him with her mouth open for a moment. “Anyway….” she rolled her eyes and pulled out a few shot glasses, pouring them up to the rim and looking his way with a smile. “Ready?”

x

“Oh, touchy subject or something?” Asa joked knowing he was definitely touching some nerves but he just couldn’t help himself. He placed his phone to one side on the table before rubbing his hands together as though he was prepping himself for some major task. “Count me in, love. On three?”
