Vivienne MacMahon

Vivienne MacMahon, 22-years-old. Owns the newly opened botanical shop, Magic Roots. Born and raised pretty much her whole life in Dublin, Ireland, Vie didn't think she'd ever think of anywhere else as her home. Until she was 17 and her parents decided to leave the Emerald Isle behind, and go to America. They settled in Michigan, but after Vie graduated college with degrees in botany and horticulture, she headed towards Chicago. With help from her parents and a hefty loan from the bank, she was quick to open a shop of her own, selling all sorts of organic and vegan products that she made herself, along with an array of plants, herbs and spices. Her shop is just getting started, only a few weeks passed its grand opening. Roleplay for the RPG TWC

12. What lesson have you learnt the hard way?

To never eat gluten...ever.

16. What is something unforgivable that could destroy a relationship?

I imagine the worst is cheating...if I’m not mistaken.

33. What is the most annoying question that people ask you?

Ever since coming to America, I’ve been asked a bunch of annoying questions, but the most annoying is “Is your accent real?” I mean, it’s more stupid than annoying, but that question gets old after the fifteenth time that it’s asked.

11. What’s the thing you regret the most?

Low-key? Breaking up with William. We dated off and on in my last two years of university, and he was honestly the best man I’ve ever met. I broke up with him because I knew that we’d be going different places after graduation, but I still regret it. He would have made a great husband one day.

15. If you could go back into the past, what would you change?

See the above answer, because I’d definitely change my decision to break up with Will.

17. Do you believe there is good in everybody?

 Heck no. There is definitely more bad in everyone then there is good, that’s fact. Don’t even try and convince me otherwise.

8. You’ve been given a week to live. What do you do?

I’d go back to Ireland to visit my grandparents one more time. I miss them so much.

31. What age do you wish you could permanently be?

I’d say 25 - it seems like a good age to be, forever. It’s young, but not too young to where you won’t be taken seriously.

40. What are some of the events in your life that made you who you are?

Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I was bullied like crazy for my parents’ religious beliefs and lifestyle practices. I would say that that, above anything else, has shaped me to be who I am now.

“Granola?” he demanded. “Vi, do you really think I would forget about my vegan baby sister?” he demanded as he nodded at the vegan cupcakes in the pastry case.

“You better not...Though don’t think that I've forgotten that one time you tried to poison me by adding eggs into my salad a few weeks ago. I’m covering my bases,” she teased, pretending to glare at him, before eyeing the cupcakes with interest. “You know I can’t resist your strawberry cupcakes...I’ll take two to go.”

Although Seamus did work with his little sister, she had not seen his apartment. He was not mad about it, however. He totally understood that they were both busy. He softly pat the golden retriever puppy that sat beside him. He’d found the puppy one day on the sidewalk and he’d taken him to the vet and he had been cleared. Seamus couldn’t wait for his sister to meet his new friend. He placed his homemade pasta into the pot and the water began to boil. He made a really good vegan pasta that he knew Vie would absolutely love. He grilled the vegetables and placed them into the large pot with the pasta before grating some vegan cheese onto it. He wasn’t vegan, but knew how to cook vegan cuisine because of his sister.

Vivienne and Seamus, as well as their parents, had been in Chicago for a while now - at least, it felt like they had, sometimes - and she still couldn’t believe she hasn’t been around to see Seamus’ new apartment. She supposed that it was because she was always busy with running Magic Roots and taking care of her greenhouses. Seamus has been to her house plenty of times, and she’d even offered to have him live with her at the beginning. However, she knew that he’d refuse the offer the moment she gave it, but she couldn’t help it anyways. He was her big brother, and she loved him dearly, but she knew and understood that he wanted and needed to get out from under her shadow of success. Vie understood that, and was happy that he was trying to find his own niche. After all, she just wanted him to be happy.

Eager to finally see his place, Vie rushed to her favorite market the moment she got off of work, picking up the wine and other things she promised to bring, before practically speeding in her impatience to see Seamus. They hadn’t hung out face to face in a few days, and since he was currently her favorite person, she was desperate to catch up with him and the things going on in his life. Pulling up to his apartment building, Vie parked and got out, and quickly made her way up to the apartment number that Seamus had texted to her earlier. Bag of groceries in hand, and grinning widely, Vie knocked on the door with vigor.

Seamus: Hmmm maybe some wine?

Seamus: And 6:00 sounds really good. That will give me some time.

Seamus: Mmm breadsticks sounds good. :]

Vie: Oh, right, wine is a definite must! I'll add it to my list. Also, I can pick up a fruit pie or something else for dessert. Suggestions?

Vie: You'll love these ones, I promise! :)

Text: Vi

Seamus: Your favorite homemade pasta! :)

Seamus: Don't be sorry, it's okay.

Seamus: When should I expect you?

Vie: Ooh, yum! I'll have to make a stop at the market on the way and get some of those vegan breadsticks. You have to try them - they're amazing!

Vie: Around 6:00? That gives me a bit of time to close up and go to the store.

Vie: Is there anything you want me to pick up while I'm there?

Seamus: Wanna come over for dinner tn?

Seamus: You haven't seen my new apartment yet!

Vie: Of course, I've been meaning to come by since you moved in. What's for dinner?

Vie: I know, and I can't believe I haven't seen it yet. Sorry, it's been so crazy.

“There’s your order!” Seamus said as he slid the person’s drink over to them. “Can I get you anything else?”

“You totally forgot my whipped cream,” she teased in a mock complaint, even as she grinned and happily took her order from her brother. “Kidding - it looks good. Does this place have any decent granola bars, or something?” Vie asked, her brown eyes taking a precursory look around the snack displays she could see. “Or anything I can eat, at least?”

Gen nodded and felt her cheeks go pink, “I am really sorry.” she said glancing at the floor. She felt bad for bumping into the stranger, it seemed like she was having a bad day and she couldn’t blame her for being frustrated. She put her phone in her back pocket, “It was an accident.” she said looking at the other red head with a small smile, trying to ensure she was forgiven, in case the two ever had to interact again. 

Vivienne gave a sign and brushed her hair away from her face as she stared at the apologetic woman before her. “It’s fine,” she repeated herself, relaxing her features slightly to let the other redhead know she that meant it. Nothing disastrous had actually happened, she reminded herself, so she figured she could just let it go. She nodded her head, accepting her apology. “You’re forgiven, just be careful next time...You may not be so lucky then, and actually spill your coffee on someone.”

[botanical-vie]

Gen stood in line at the Cafe pick up counter waiting for her coffee. Staring at her phone she heard her name and walked up to grab her coffee. Turning around trying to still watch the video on her small screen she walked right into someone else, thankfully not spilling any coffee. “Oh shit” she said bouncing back a little, “I’m sorry, I’ll pay more attention next time.” she said looking at the person in front of her and tucking her red hair behind her ear. 

Vivienne was exhausted, having been working nonstop in her greenhouses the day before, and then trying to get Magic Roots stocked that morning...it was a lot of work, and all the Irish lass wanted to do was go home and climb back into bed. Given that it was only mid-day, and there was still more work to be done at her shop, that was not an option. So, she had decided to get herself some caffeine and hope that it would do the job to wake her up a little more. She’d stood in line for a good ten minutes before giving her order, and was currently waiting for said order, when she was caught off-guard by someone walking into her. She stumbled back a bit, surprised, having been staring at the tiled floor at her feet instead of paying attention around her. Grumpy and tired, Vie had to physically bite her tongue to keep the nasty retort from leaving her lips. Instead, she pursed her lips, and furrowed her brow, “It’s fine,” she groused, tersely, crossing her arms tightly, glad that the collision hadn’t been messier. “Maybe next time you should put your phone down?” she suggested, brown eyes cutting, but the words themselves almost innocent.

Max finally had a break in the day, a rarity for the time he spent in the tattoo parlor. Seeing someone walk in, he greeted them with a small smile. “What can I do for ya?” 

Not new to being tattooed, but still finding the experience a little overwhelming, Vie worried her bottom lip. The process of getting tattooed was fine, it was just making sure she picked the right piece to permanently mark her body with was the stressful part. She was so indecisive, and just scared that she’d end up hating her choice. That and she had to trust the artist, which was a big problem in itself, since she literally trusted no one. Biting back a sigh, Vivienne entered the shop and was immediately greeted by whom she assumed was one of the artists running the place. “I am looking for a good choice for my next tattoo,” she began, nervously drumming her red painted fingernails along the counter-top. “Only...I’ve got just a faint idea on what it could be. How good are you with sketching climbing ivy, and how many variations could you sketch up?” She was looking for different ways to feature one of her favorite leafy plants, and she wanted it to be amazing, or she’d go elsewhere.

“I had a nanny,” Nova shrugged, folding her arms over her chest. “She was nice to me, gave me as much love as I would allow her to. But it’s not like I’m not capable of love at all. I’ve learned to love people if they deserve it.”

“I’m glad you had someone,” Vivienne stressed, actually pleased to know that, before sighing softly as she blew some of her hair out of her face. She was trying to be kind for once, but since that wasn’t really her thing, Vivienne was out of any sort of sympathetic words. So she nodded instead, choosing to go the empathetic route. “Sounds like me, to an extent. I’ve only ever loved three people and that’s my parents and my brother. It’s hard for me to get attached to people.” Events in her past had caused her to dislike most people in general.

[botanical-vie]

novanixon:

“That’s awesome for you, but you don’t know my life or where I’ve come from. I’m sure your family is better than mine, I’m sure your parents have been able to give you all of the love and attention you deserve. All mine ever gave me was money, so I’m just going off of what they’ve taught me.”

“It should be awesome for everyone, and it just sucks that it’s not. No, I don’t know your life or where you’re from, and I’m glad I don’t. I couldn’t imagine a life without my family.” At the mention of what how the other woman’s parents were with her, Vivienne grimaced, very happy that she was able to have both her parents’ love and their money, and not just their money. Because it wasn’t in her nature to feel pity towards anyone, Vie didn’t feel much except a tiny bit sad that this girl hadn’t been given much love. “Did you not have a single person that cared for you? Like a grandparent, or an aunt or uncle?” she inquired.
