     to her it seems a little bit like he is trying a bit too hard or perhaps a bit nervous or perhaps that is just the way he is. charlotte cannot quite be sure of the reasoning but nonetheless, she is INTRIGUED by him a bit — she always has been by people who slip into pretentious suave attitudes for comedic effect; perhaps a distressing aftershock of being around too many over the top people who slip it on for the power it gives them. “ —-and what is it you want to be if not a model or a writer?” asks charlotte curiously, the journalist in her perking up at the chance to dig into a LIFE STORY. “ —or are, if you are lucky enough to be living that. ”

Chase smiled at the question, his expression containing a mix of contentment and excitement . There was few things Chase loved more than talking about his vision for what his purpose in the world was, and this question she posed invited him to do just that. "I'm already doing what I love and want to do. I want to create art that people can enjoy. Art that is accessible to everyone, regardless of social status. We live in a world where so much of art is commercialized, and only the people with money get to enjoy it; and that's not right." He explained with a shake of his head. "Art isn't a means to an end; it's a basic human need, like air and food and water are. I spend my days out in the streets, and in the parks, creating just for the sake of it. Because I love it, because my friends love it, and because I want people to be able to enjoy what I create freely. And sometimes, when a piece really moves someone, they'll feel inclined to make a donation, which is appreciated, but it's never mandatory. My art is free to world and that's the way I believe art is meant to be." After a brief pause, Chase chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "Sorry. Didn't mean to get all preachy on you there. I'm just pretty passionate about what I do. I believe this is my true path."

     smile widens, browns eyes rolling even as she giggles a little. “ i spend my days with some pretty attractive men so i think you might have to try a little harder, ” charlotte counters, only about half serious. but she’d be lying a little if she didn’t think at least some of the men she photographed on the ice were extremely easy on the eyes. she purses her lips and takes an exaggerated up and down look. “ and your modeling could use some work. but you’re not bad, i suppose. ”

Letting out an exaggerated gasp as he placed his hand on his chest, Chase shook his head in mock disapproval. “Not bad? You suppose? I am OFFENDED.” He said in such a tone that made it clear he was only pretending to be offended. “Psssh. You clearly are just too mesmerized by my beauty and outstanding modeling talent, that you aren’t thinking clearly. It’s okay; it happens quite frequently when people are around me.” Letting out a laugh and dropping the attitude, he gave a small shrug of his shoulders. “Nah I’m kidding. I’ll take ‘not bad’ from you pretty happily actually.” He admitted with a nod. “But I stand by the fact that you’re dead wrong about my modeling skills; I would be on every magazine cover if I wanted to be” He added jokingly, striking another pose.

     charlotte blinks for a moment, lips parting in slight hesitation before the meaning of his words truly sinks in. it wouldn’t be the first time someone’s been crushing on her from afar ( though truly, she would never quite know just how many she’s enchanted from behind her camera — sweetness has its way of enchanting so many ).  “ you haven’t given me a reason to tell you to forget it yet. ” she smiles kindly, gaze dropping almost SHY to her latte as she takes a sip. “ so—– ” she teases looking back up, a quiet amused edge to her voice though not mocking in its tone, “ chase with a c, you think i’m pretty? ” she lets herself look for a second and decides that she may have seen his face around the neighborhood as well, though she can’t be positive these days. by any accounts, he’s certainly not hard on the eyes.

A chuckle escaped his lips as she posed her question to him. He then took a moment as though he was carefully considering his answer, pretending to make the faces that came with trying to figure out something complicated. Finally, he gave a small shrug of his shoulders before he nodded in confirmation, a playful smile edging on his lips. “But don’t let it go to your head.” He said, his smile breaking out into a grin before he shook his head. “Now the real question is..” He paused, taking a dramatic pose as though he was modeling for the camera. “..do you think I’m pretty?”

     charlotte sips at her latte, blinking at the guy before her as she thinks for a second. “ i dunno… i would feel kinda bad for anyone named sharlotte with an s, ” she says with a slight frown. “ it’s almost predictable in its strangeness, y’know? like one some white woman who just really wanted her daughter to have a –quote– unique name? ” she brightens almost comically as she gets another thought, sweet smile crossing her face. “ oh ——you write, though? maybe that’s the underlying message of the play. ”

Chase chuckled and nodded his head in agreement with her words. “Yeah, I see what you mean with that. It’s like, trying too hard to be unique and kinda falling flat. I still think I’m gonna name my next painting ‘Sharlotte’ though, if only to commemorate this experience.” Plunging his hands into the pockets of pants, he nodded his head and gave a small shrug of his shoulders at her question about his writing. “I dabble. It’s not my best artistic skill, but it’s a fun way to put ideas out there.” He explained with a shrug. Pausing for a moment, he ran a hand through his long brown hair, brushing it out of his face. “So Charlotte huh? Well it’s nice to finally have a name to put to the face. I’ve definitely seen you around here.” He said, his cheeks reddening ever so slightly as the words left his mouth. In truth, he’d always had a bit of a lingering crush on her, but had never really had the chance (Or maybe more like the guts) to talk to her before now. “Now any time I see you from now on, I can say ‘Hey Charlotte!’ instead of being like ‘Oh hey there goes that pretty girl again.’ And then, you can either say ‘Fuck off Chase.’ or, more preferably ‘Hey Chase!’ But either way, you can call me Chase.” He said with a nod “Spelled with a C not an S.” He added with a grin.

     “ uh— ” gaze looks at the cup in her hand, a bemused expression crossing her face before she lets out a little laugh and shakes her head. “ —-who spells charlotte with and s? ” like whatever, this isn’t going to effect her day at all but seriously people?

open!

Chase chuckled as he heard the girl speak, giving a small shrug of his shoulders. “I dunno, I kinda dig it.” He joked, placing a finger to his chin in mock consideration. “So much so that I think I might name my next piece ‘Sharlotte’ Or, or, maybe one of the characters in the next play I write will be named Sharlotte. Maybe that will even be the entire premise of the play; A girl named Sharlotte, and her struggles with having a strangely spelled name.”

Stanley Park was a regular hangout for Chase and his tribe of hippie artists. The large amount of open space made it a prime location for the process of creation, especially for performance pieces, such as the one they were working on now. As the actors rehearsed their scene, Chase stood off the side, painting the scene before him on a canvas, whilst observing, and yelling out directions every so often, a satisfied smile resting on his face all the while. Feeling someone tap him on the shoulder, Chase turned to face them, but at the same moment, heard his cue line being spoken from where the actors were rehearsing. “Sorry; that’s my cue! I’ll be right back!” He said, as he threw down his paint brush and rushed over to the space, stepping into it not as Chase, but as the character of Oberon. Once the scene was done, he returned to the person who had tapped him on the shoulder, an apologetic grin on his face. “Sorry again ‘bout that. We’re just in the middle of rehearsing a play right now. It’s Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream ” He explained with a nod small shrug of his shoulders “But anyways, what did you need?” He asked.

Hey it’s your boy Dustin again! In case you missed it, I made my personal intro on my post for Brendan. So yeah, I’ll just cut right to the Chase! (You see what I did there? Am I not hilarious? No? Okay.)

Chase is known as “The Hippie” and boy is he ever! His mother is a famous actress named Gloria Vincent, and she and Chase have had a strained relationship for the past few years, because of their differing views on what he should be doing with his life. Chase believes in artistic expression for the sake of creation. He doesn’t care at all about making money through his art, he just wants to create it for himself, for his friends, and for the world to see and appreciate. As an actor, director, musician, writer, painter and photographer (All of which he does to varying degrees of competency) he is always leading his tribe of hippie artist friends in creating some kind of art out in the streets and the parks of Vancouver. His mother feels this is a waste of his talents, and is frequently trying to convince him to take roles in films that she gets for him, and he always refuses, because he hates how commercialized art has become in modern society; and he feels that all the films his mother does are prime examples of that commercialism. He does art because he loves it, and believes that people should  be able to enjoy it freely, and should only pay for it if they want to. He’s cut himself off from the privileged lifestyle he grew up with, and lives off of the little bits of money that people give him for the art he creates. He’s basically a ball of sunshine. He’s got a really chill attitude, for lack of a better term, and he really embodies the hippie spirit, in that he’s very against the establishment, but otherwise, very go with the flow. He can be pretty impulsive and reckless though, because he doesn’t always think things through all the way. You could also say that he’s a bit naive in the way he views the world, and what he wants from it. Nonetheless, I’m very excited to bring this character to life!
