— SHE WAS AS EASY TO FIND IN THAT CROWD AS A ROSE AMONG NETTLES. EVERYTHING WAS MADE BRIGHT BY HER. SHE WAS THE SMILE THAT SHED LIGHT ON ALL AROUND HER. austin. 22. cancer. makeup artist.
“I swear this damn kids really need a hobby or something.” Garrett shook his head, taking a puff from his cigarette “i know it’s my job to watch the place, but don’t you think they would get tired of trying to break in day after day?”
“damn, again? really? is it the same group of kids?” austin inquired with slightly furrowed brows. “was that the noise i was hearing last night or was that somethin’ else?”
Annalee was stood with her hands perched fiercely on her hips as she glared up at the apple tree. She’d already collected more than enough apples to make the apple pies she was wanting to create, but there was one particularly shiny apple hanging just out of her reach. She wanted it. And she wasn’t going to take no for an answer. She jumped once while cursing under her breath, her hand far from capturing the apple. “Where’s a tall person when you need one? Or at least a bucket to stand on or something.”
austin looked from the other to the desired apple, trying to map out a possible solution for the two short-stacks to actually get the apple. “i mean, i can give you a boost or vice-versa. i was only a base in cheer for a little while, but i think i can give a good boost if you’d like?”
It had been a long day for Xavier and he was happy to be done. It had been as if everything that could go wrong with light and sound had and he had been the one having to fix it. He loved being busy, it helped him let his mind stay active but the day had been extra busy. He was looking forward to spending time with someone that wasn’t freaking out about something not working. He had quickly gotten changed, “ready to go? I can’t wait to get out of here and do something that doesn’t involve wires.”
like xavier’s day, austin’s hadn’t gone the best. the looks she and a couple of actors brainstormed just weren’t panning out the way she’d thought they would. special effects makeup already takes a good amount of time, but the fact that she kept messing up just kept her on her feet longer and irritated the actors more. despite having a rather annoying day, she had a good feeling and attitude towards whatever she and xavier decided on doing. “oof, tell me about it. i don’t want to see any sort of makeup brush for at least a few hours,” she replied with a chuckle. “what were you thinking of doing? is food involved? i’m hungry.”
“Can you feel it?” Bash grinned excitedly at his coworker as he was sitting outside, looking up at the sky. “The full moon energy? I just know something spooky and supernatural is bound to happen soon.”
her eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion, but a light smile surfaced as the other carried on, her gaze following theirs. “i don’t know if i feel a full moon energy or anything, but it sure is beautiful,” austin spoke as she admired the moon. “as for the spooky things, i don’t really know. full moons do have people feeling some type of way though, so tricking ourselves into thinking something spooky happened wouldn’t be far off. however, i’d be interested if something spooky genuinely happened.”
♡♡♡ oKaY i’m so very sorry for my lack of activity. a few of my family members have been sick & i’ve been having to take care of them & do a lot for them so i’ve been lacking in muse lately. however, i’ve gotten a huge burst (thanks to personal muse tasks lol hit me up if you want some of those resources) ANYWAYS. i’m going to drop the threads i have & hit the starter tag. i’d literally LOVE to plot with all of you. you can find austin’s intro post HERE if you wanna learn more about her! ♡♡♡
Anthony wasn’t a fan of horror. At this point in his life he had turned into mister-mom, only working one weekend a month on the Marines base, and wanted to let Victoria explore her career options; so if she wanted to be a manager at a haunted house, he was going to tag along and encourage her. But during the day when he had nothing better to do, while William was still in school, he was bored. So he sat outside on a park bench, head tilted back to catch the last bit of summer sun before fall fully rolled in and killed his buzz, and his suntan. “Can I help you?” He asked, tilting his head forward and looking over when someone sat down next to him.
austin still being in school during the autumn never really seemed to put a damper on her time at frightland -- especially since her courses were all online this semester. fortunately, that meant a whole lot of reading material for austin. knowing the area, she knew there was only a good couple of weeks left of decent weather and reading in the park on one of the better days just seemed to good to pass up. unfortunately, there seemed to be no empty bench in sight, but she spotted an empty seat next to someone else. as soon as she took a seat she began to crack open her thick book, but froze as soon as the other acknowledged her presence. an awkward grin spread across austin’s lips as she turned her attention towards them. “uh, no, i’m alright. i’m just... reading,” she stated, lifting her book up slightly. “i hope it’s alright that i’m sitting here, i’m just trying to get some good outdoor reading in before the weather starts to turn to shit.”
“I am so desensitized to this place and all ghost related fears. I heard a noise last night and where a normal person would think ‘That’s probably a demon,’ I though ‘I could go see what it is or I could make it someone else’s problem.’ I chose the later.”
"desensitized or do you just not buy into it? i think i’m still a fifty-fifty on that whole discourse. i’ve kind of chalked up any noises i hear to other people hitting the walls or something now.” austin shrugged before carrying on, “that could be me still falling under the whole ‘ignorance is bliss’ thing, though.”
“so, tell me, do you think this scar i made looks too… gory for this event, or do we think it’s perfect and that i should recreate it on one of the actors?” she asked the other person, holding her forearm out to them with a half smile.
"if i’ve said it before, i’ve said it a thousand times -- there’s no such thing as too much gore. i definitely think that needs to be recreated. the detail is just so fucking nice,” austin hyped up the other’s work with a smile. “how long did that take you?”
evie stood aside from the street, behind a keyboard and singing softly, a beanie upturned with a few coins in it as she sung. “i’m a creep, i’m a weirdo, what the hell am i doing here? i don’t belong here,” she sung, her eyes closed as she did, a level of inherent trust that no one would take the money. shortly after evie finished, she glanced up to see a face she thought she might’ve seen at the frighthouse party. “hi.”
at almost the same time every day, austin went out on her daily jog. sure, it was something to help keep her in shape in case the frighthouse genuinely became one of a horror film, but it was mainly to help clear her mind and keep her focus on her breathing. however, her attention was drawn by a gentle singing voice, leading her to the person with a keyboard. after they finished, it took austin a second to realize their ‘hi’ was directed towards her. “oh, hi!” she replied with a touch of excitement in her tone. “you’ve got a lovely voice. i think i know you from somewhere... frightland maybe? i’m austin, one of the makeup artists.”
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;
and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

NAME: austin lucia flores
AGE: twenty-two
BIRTHDAY: july 4th
SIGN: cancer
she is from a small town in texas (although she was born in new york). she had a thick accent, but being away from her hometown for a while, it’s died down a lot.
she comes from wealth, her parents both being driven, self-made first generation americans who are paying austin’s way through college with pride.
she has three brothers who she remains incredibly close to, but being the only girl, she was subconsciously spoiled by her parents. although she remains incredibly humble. she’s never been one to flaunt her wealth or anything like that, but she’s a definite trust fund baby.
on top of that, she’s an incredibly smart person. she has an incredible memory and can remember pretty much everything she sees & hears. (she gives off reid from criminal minds smart vibes but not as smart nor nerdy lmao) however, she’s never discovered her limits or even knew if she had any. she skipped a couple of grades and graduated at age 15 (nearly 16 but she’s a summer baby lol). she’s intelligent to an extent that she’s even yet to fathom.
she chose the route of psychology and criminology with her fascination of studies and documentaries on serial killers and things of the like and that all sparked in high school (but she’s not like obsessed w them ok ajkcsnj i wanna make sure that’s clear) – she’s a few credits shy of her masters, but she’s not rushing on finishing.
studying always came easy to her, so she found a lot of time on her hands. with that time, she taught herself her way around more creative makeup through youtube videos. that eventually led to taking classes over the summer leading her to her now second year as a makeup artist for frightland. all for the fun of it. she’s all about that scary shit, even though she’s quite the jumpy person -- she loves it.
also, she does work for a camera store where she mainly just develops film and checks people out, but that always takes a backseat to frightland when the time comes ‘round. she has a lot of time on her hands
(this is more about her personality lol)
she’s such a kind and gentle soul that would genuinely never hurt anyone intentionally. however, once her mind is made up, that’s what she’ll stick to and she’ll try to let you down in the nicest way possible.
she’s a very sentimental person. she has a box of things (key chains, post cards, polaroids, etc.) that she likes to keep with her and add to whenever something, she feels, memorable happens.
she loves literally every genre of music except classical & heavy metal, but even then she’ll sit & listen to it if that’s what you’d like to listen to
her aesthetic is all warm tones tbh: yellows, oranges, reds, pinks. gold jewelry is also something you’ll always find on her person whether it be in the form of rings, earrings (hoops to be specific), necklaces.
she has an anklet with a very small heart charm that you’ll never see her without. it’s one of her favorite things she owns. she sees it as a form of a lucky charm.
OKAY SO PLOTTING!!!! i’m p cool with whatever tbh!! here’s a few i’d dig though!
the bad influence friend -- someone who pushes her nervous ass out of her comfort zone! like going on wild adventures & such! { OPEN TO ANY GENDER }
roommate -- austin hates to be alone, so having a roommate would be very in character for her. i’d imagine them having an apartment or town house, possibly a house, but we could plot that out. { OPEN TO ANY GENDER }
or like we can brainstorm????? love that
N E WAZE ! tbh i’m blanking a little bit, but i’ll definitely have an about page up for her soon. ily! feel free to im me!
she was raised to kill with kindness and to keep her opinions to herself, but she’ll break the rules with a smile on her face. she’ll treat you with the utmost respect and will expect the same in return; kindliness is never out of style. her aspirations are far beyond the course her upbringing has set for her, but the deeply ingrained loyalty will keep her exactly where she’s expected to be. she’s ignorant to just how selfish she can be, but you’ll let her have her way all the same because she’s had you wrapped around her little finger from the moment you met.
