“Twenty-three.” Crossing their arms they exhale sharply through their nose. “There have been twenty-three calls at the station. Now if this were an actual emergency I wouldn’t be upset.” Taking their small notebook out they shake their head. “Were you one of the many and repeated callers about a Mothman sighting?” This was what they’d been told to do, instead of staying at the station to take care of those actually in need.
Bishop rolled his eyes at the other’s words and raised his brows at them with impatience at the topic. “Does it fuckin’ look like I’d be the kind of person to be callin’ about a fuckin’ mothman?” he questioned, shaking his head at the officer. “Pretty sure this woulda been a call about a bar fight,” he said. “In which case, it was all handled before it got too far. So you can head out for that donut you’re probably dyin’ for and relax, or you can have a seat and I’ll pour a drink on the house for Levins finest,” he said with a smirk as he looked them over.
Bishop was in the back office of his bar, looking over the books when he heard someone enter through the front. The man quickly shut his files and got up to go see who had arrived. “A little early to be comin’ in for a drink, don’t ya think? I know it says open, but that’s more of a show piece than anythin’. Then again, I’m here to supply, so what’s your poison?”
“ shit, shit, shit ! — ” noon was just about to strike the clock which only meant one thing: she was late. for the third time this week. lacey was thankful her class was full of students & her teacher likely didn’t realize she was missing. by now, the blonde was running ; books in hand. in the brief moment lacey looked down at her booklet – more specifically, at her class schedule –, her face was met with body of another. her notebooks scattered on the ground. “ fuck. ” she whispered. lacey even rushed while she spoke. “ I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking where I was going .. ”
Bishop usually rolled out of bed and headed out around noon to do the shit that he needed to get done. Staying up all night and sleeping during the day came with the territory of running a bar. He was busy looking down at his phone and not watching where he was going when suddenly there was a short blonde running right into him, free hand automatically reaching out to stabilize the other as it happened. “Not to worry, baby girl,” he commented, smirking lightly at the girl as he let go of her to crouch down and pick up the things she had dropped. “I don’t mind when pretty little such as yourself walk into my arms,” he teased as he stood back. “But where’s the fire? If you don’t mind me askin’”
Brittany was getting out all the boxes with the Halloween decorations out of storage so she could start decorating the bar. She knew it was early but there was something about the holidays that made her go the extra mile. As she held onto one of the boxes she looked around for someone else to help since she didn’t want to make a second trip. “Hey, babes, could you grab the other one for me? I’ll give you a drink on the house.“ The girl mused.
Bishop couldn’t help but chuckle lightly at Brittany’s request, shaking his head fondly as he walked over to help her with the boxes. He wasn’t extremely invested in the idea of setting up the bar for any of the holidays, but Brittany had asked so nicely and it was hard to say no to her when she followed it up with incentives he was much more interested in. “I feel I should be worried that you’re just handing out more free drinks rather than serving my actual customers,” he commented to one of his bartenders as he lifted the box. “How often do you do this exactly?” making it clear in his tone that he was still only teasing.
[ MANNY MONTANA ] — What’s that figure? Oh, it’s just BISHOP MARTINEZ. HE is a 33 year old RUNS HIS OWN BAR who is CIS MALE and lives in Levins. You know, I think in a horror movie HE would be THE DOOMED SKEPTIC. They’d hate for The Director to find out HE’S BEHIND ON PAYMENTS SO HE LETS A MOB USE HIS BAR TO LAUNDER MONEY. -- [ anna, 22, MST/GMT-7, she/her ]
SO, it’s me Anna again lmao. So, I’ll get right into what Bishop is like:
So, as stated above he owns his own bar and can most often be found there tending the bar alongside his employees. ( If ya want your chara to work there then hit me up! )
He’s more of a dick than the other characters, more rough around the edges and hot tempered. He’s constantly losing his temper over shit, and isn’t afraid of turning to throwing fists if you get in his face or piss him off.
He also has the tendency of living above his means, spending more than he needs on himself and others that have his interest. Which lead to him being behind on a lot of payments and getting mixed up with a gang and letting them launder money through his bar and use it as a front.
He’s chill with them because he knew a few of them growing up. He vouches for his employees, so that they aren’t afraid if a couple of the members are around the place or “doing business” in Bishop’s back office.
He’s incredibly flirtatious and charming when he wants to be, locking onto anyone that catches his interest and either pursuing them or flirting with them any chance that he gets.
He’s very noncommittal so not very many ex girlfriend or boyfriends in his past. But tons of regular hook ups, one night stands and fwb type of relationships. Or just they flirt a lot but don’t let it go anywhere, just like to tease each other.
There’s a possibility of maybe one of those “the one that got away” type of scenarios or the one where everything went to shit and can’t stand each other anymore kind of plots, I’m always up for those so if you’re interested??? Hit a girl up!
He grew up in Levins so he was around 8 when the original attacks happened. He somewhat recalls it and the amount of terror the whole town was in, but especially the university students since those were the main targets. He’s skeptical of this new disappearance. He thinks it’s just a prank being played by a bunch of dumbass kids trying to stir shit up since the anniversary is approaching. That or the kid was caught up in drugs or rival gang activities too, so it was just easy to blame it on some copy cat killer or 25th anniversary to cause hysteria before it blows over.
He’s got a tendency for being asshole and rarely taking shit seriously, but other than that he’s a chill dude and boss. I think that’s about it for now!
