hi everyone ! i 'm . . not quite sure how to start this, because i just found this app the other day . . sasha told me i should make an account, so here i am, i guess !
um . . what should i say ? oh, right, my name.
my name is bailey crawford. i use she / her pronouns, i'm twenty - six years old, and i live in london. is that too much information to share ? i'm not sure. uh . . . . .
i like scrapbooking ! i might post some of my scrapbooking pages on here, actually, but it'll probably mostly just me talking about work (and maybe talking to some of my colleagues !) ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )
i think that's it ? maybe i'll add to it if i think of anything else ! (if i can figure out how to edit posts . . . .)
ooc under cut
heeeey.,.. how yall doin.,,..., yeah i finally made a rp blog for bailey
@icantthinkstr8 is my main blog, @detectivedaisyirl is another rp blog of mine but it's noooot really active
info about bailey and the blog:
i'd prefer for this to be a mainly ask-centered blog, but everyone is welcome to rp in any way they feel comfortable!
blog is set in s1. the earlier the better, but i don't mind occasionally diverging from the timeline.
she is a researcher at the magnus institute. tim and sasha are good friends of hers, and the three of them worked together before tim and sasha were transferred to the archives.
she is panromantic and aceflux.
she has a small crush on tim, and i prefer to ship the two of them whenever possible, but it doesn't have to be canon.
she is not yet an avatar of the vast, but she is about halfway through her "becoming." she's not aware of the fears yet, but is somewhat superstitious, and has her suspicions. she's already beginning to have dizzy spells and feels dehydrated much of the time, though she hasn't yet connected it to the vast. by season three she would likely have a good grasp on smirke's 14 and would be aware that she is an avatar (unless something happens in-rp to change that)

romance is fine, but please dm me on discord or tumblr to discuss it beforehand! (my discord is @icantthinkstr8 as well, just shoot me a friend request.)
no explicit sexual content. jokes are fine, but be aware that i am a minor, and use your best judgement.
i'd like to avoid any kind of combat if possible.
please no gore beyond what would be found in a statement! (and make sure to always use tw/cws).
i can't think of anything else rn?? i'll tack stuff onto this later if it comes up.
images of bailey above. AC in order: @icantthinkstr8 , @icantthinkstr8 , @ivanmp4 , @milyiah.draws on tt. let me know if i did ok on the image IDs, it's my first time adding them!

guys , tim invited me to get drinks with him sometime ! gosh, he's so cool. i hope i didn't make a fool out of myself when i told him i had to hang out with my fish . i don't even have a fish ! i could've just said dog — at least i actually have a dog ! i got nervous ૮꒰◞ ˕ ◟ ྀི꒱ა
actually, now that i think about it, i hope he doesn't have tumblr. o no , what if he sees this ?
i'm bailey ! — uh, crawford. miss crawford is fine . . . or bailey. if that's what you prefer. but probably miss crawford . . that's more professional . . . 𐔌՞.‸.՞𐦯
it 's nice to meet you ! i've been trying to contact you regarding an interaction you had with one darlene schoup ? i'm, er, from the magnus institute.
of course, i'm happy to ! darlene schoup came into our institute one week ago exactly to provide us with her statement on a supernatural encounter. i'm . . . not sure if you're familiar with the magnus institute and our work, but we record and research instances of the paranormal and supernatural . . . it's a lot to explain . . . .
anyway. mrs. schoup contacted us one week ago. in her statement, she detailed an encounter with one " Artifact " — no last name provided. i believe that's you . . . ?
she told us that you, er, well . . you sort of . . . buried her ? i didn't read the statement myself, actually — that's a lot of time to spend when i'm really just supposed to be interviewing subjects —but it sounded . . claustrophobic. she shivers. it sounded quite unpleasant.
of course, this is not an accusation — i will not be contacting the authorities ! so . . please don't run (ᵕ ´ᗜ`) i just want to enact a short interview, if you don't mind !
Ah. Well I have heard of the Magnus Institute, so no need to worry about explaining it to me. I wasn't aware I was having statements written about me though...
bailey fumbles with her bag, which is embroidered with seashells. it matches her outfit. from it? she produces a thick manilla folder.
this actually isn't the first statement we've received in which you are involved, though admittedly, this is the first statement featuring you as a main subject.
my first question is : did you have any direct intention to harm mrs. schoup ? if so . . . what did you hope to achieve by it ? what were your motives ?
Oohh, I have several? Interesting! And I suppose it would be hard for me to not intend to harm her somehow, since I did bury her alive. But if you meant 'did you intend to kill her' then no. I actually don't care one way or another whether or not someone dies, unless they managed to really piss me off.
My motives, intentions, etc were basically me wanting to not be sick. All the effort to sate the Eye was getting annoying, so I wanted something quick and easy to feed the Buried. Lo and behold, someone with claustrophobia. Easy, really.
Oh, you don't need to worry about your own phobias being used right now, I'm all good with my Patrons and it would just be rude, honestly. I like your bag, by the way.
bailey presses her lips together. this has given her far more questions than answers. she's also feeling much more uncomfortable than she was before.
i . . . see. er, thank you ? she glances at her bag, before remembering her intent here.
so you say you fall ill if you don't feed your — did you say patrons ? let me write that down . . . right. do you consider yourself to be a supernatural or paranormal creature in any way ? i'm sorry if that sounds rude, but i, well, i'm obligated to ask, you see.
I don't know about the term supernatural, but I suppose, yes. I'm quite a bit more human than any others you'll meet, or at least I look the part, better than a Flesh Avatar anyway. But I haven't been a human for quite a few years now.
i . . . don't know what an avatar is. you keep saying that word like it's supposed to mean something to me. she produces a metal water bottle from her bag and takes a long, long drink, visibly stressed.
you've also been repeatedly referring to things like " the eye ," or " the flesh ," as nouns . i don't know what that means , either . . . 𐔌՞.‸.՞𐦯
there's nothing about that in your file, and it wasn't mentioned in my training. admittedly, i was trained by the library staff — and they didn't exactly update me on anything important when i transferred to research — but you're acting like it's something i should be aware of .
she blinks her wide, deep eyes. eyes like the ocean. eyes like the vast....
if you don't mind me taking up a bit more of your time , i'd like to know what that means.
bailey, hi!! it’s caoimhe, fancy seeing you here!! ^^ i’ve been trying to get the courage to actually talk to you in person but i keep getting all nervous so maybe asking you here is the second best option :’) i was wondering if you have any,, tips? advice? for me. it’s a very strange job, and i know you’ve been working here longer than i have but still started recently enough to remember being new, sooo i thought i’d ask if there’s anything i should keep in mind!! maybe if there’s any way i can get jon to.. like me? for starters? ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡
@caoimhes-musings
o my gosh, hi caoimhe !!! thanks for sending this to me, i've seen you around the office a bit but i've never really had time to introduce myself, and you always seemed busy in the archives (ᵕ ´ᗜ` )
advice, hm ? well , i haven't been around that long, obviously, and i'm still figuring this place out myself. but i do know jon, tim, and sasha ! they're great. honestly, they were my key to surviving the first few months, so if you can stick by them — especially tim — you'll probably have a much better time, haha. i mean, he certainly helped me. he's really amazing . . . but anyway !
for me, i try to stay hydrated on the job. that's always good advice, but my dizzy spells have started flaring up a lot more since i started working here ? that could just be me though. probably just me. forget i said that.
uhh . . . um um ummmm . . . . try not to go into artifact storage if you can avoid it. that place is spooky 𐔌՞.‸.՞𐦯 if you have to go in there for something, try not to linger. i sometimes hear weird noises coming from there, and sonja says that stuff keeps rearranging itself ?
and as for getting jon to like you, i'm still not sure i know how to do that (ᵕ • ᴗ •) i mean, it seems like he wasn't that much nicer when we worked together in research ? but gosh, you guys sorta got the short end of the stick there. i'd say just try to stay out of his way, hah.
i'm bailey ! — uh, crawford. miss crawford is fine . . . or bailey. if that's what you prefer. but probably miss crawford . . that's more professional . . . 𐔌՞.‸.՞𐦯
