Tiberius Mayor || 31 || Landlord/DJ “Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you. Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you. And without feet I can make my way to you, without a mouth I can swear your name.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

Alice couldn’t help at grin at the older man. Seeing him made coming to work more enjoyable on most days; his energy was not something she saw in others often. It was magnetic and weird and she wanted to know more about it. And the fact that he liked seeing her on stage had her blushing. “I’m actually about to leave. I got here early to help set up…” She bit her lip. “Steal away. I’m down for whatever you wanna do.”

Even in the dingy lighting he could see a faint hint of pink on her cheeks and it made him smile. He’d always had a way with words. “Leaving? That’s a shame.” He pouted but it quickly faltered. “Oh, good. That’s what I like to hear.” He held his arm out for her. “Shall we grab a drink?”

“You’re far too trusting––but yes, yes they are.” Her smile remained, giving him a nod before walking past him. “Okay, see you in a bit! My door’ll be open.” Eilonwy assured him before heading back to her apartment to get things ready for the evening. She figured it would be a pasta type night, rolling up her sleeves once she’d gotten back and folded her laundry to get started.

“I’ll take my chances,” he said with a smile. “Sounds good. I’ll be over shortly.” He went to the basement to grab his laundry then back to his apartment to fold it. When he was finished he quickly put everything away and changed into a nicer shirt. Before leaving he grabbed a bottle of wine. It wasn’t the most expensive wine but it wasn’t cheap either. He then made his way to Eilonwy’s apartment and knocked on the door before cracking it open. “Eilonwy? It’s Tiberius. I didn’t want to spook you.” He walked into the kitchen where he found her. “I brought wine.”

“Oh, I was about to start on dinner if you wanted to join? I don’t mean to brag but i’ve learned a lot with being on my own and all.” She smiled once more, probably a habit she knew all too well when it came to talking to most people. “Really? Folding isn’t so bad, I hate waiting for the laundry to finish––waste of a perfectly good day.”

Tiberius smiled and nodded. “That’s a kind offer. I accept. I’m sure your cooking skills are superb. Let me just put my laundry away and I’ll be over,” he said softly. He put up a good facade. “I don’t mind the waiting because I can keep myself busy with other things.”

“Oh, yes. Tuesdays are my free days so it’s just easier.” The blonde smiled sweetly, though she covered her more delicate items with a t-shirt hopefully smoothly enough to not get caught. “You going down there to do laundry or..are you done?” Eilonwy asked curiously, glancing down at his basket before her eyes met his once more with an easy smile.

“Yeah? I just do it when it starts piling up and I’m running out of clothes,” he admitted. “No, I’m pretty much done. Just getting things out of the dryer and bring up to fold. Folding is my least favorite part of laundry but I don’t like wrinkled clothes.” When their eyes met the slightest hint of a smirk crossed his face.

It was a typical routine for her to spend today getting chores and errands done, accidentally running into her landlord with a basket of clean folded laundry in her arms. “Oh, hi. Sorry, a little jumbled today.” Eilonwy told him with a soft chuckle, green hues meeting his with their usual mix of delight and curiosity.

Tiberius had been doing laundry that day too. He liked living in the apartments he rented out because he could be closer to his tenants. Being in a house all alone would be lonely and he would have to mow his own grass. “Eilonwy, hello,” he said with a smile. He knew she was doing laundry and was hoping to meet her in the laundry room but he had just missed her it seemed. “Laundry day for you too?”

Tiberius liked Wonderland. The workers were odd and he was pretty sure they were in no place to judge him. If they did though he didn’t really care. He wasn’t there to impress them. He was there to drink and watch a show. He spotted a certain blonde and made his way over to her. “Where are you lending your talents tonight?” he asked. “I didn’t see you on stage. You know you’re my favorite dancer.” Though it’s likely he’s said that to multiple of the dancers before. “Am I able to steal you away from your duties for a little while?”

{jack}

He smiled when he saw the familiar face approaching him. Some might say Tiberius was a bit odd, but Jack didn’t really think so. At least he didn’t think he had any right to say because he definitely wasn’t any weirder than Jack was. “Hello, Tiberius,” he greeted him brightly. “Oh, I mean, usually I don’t think it would be, but I was just feeling in the mood for something lively like this. And I’m so glad I came, it’s been so fun so far. Have you seen some of the sand sculptures people have made? They’re really creative,” Jack could talk for hours about nothing. He caught himself though. “How are you, though? Are you enjoying yourself?”

Hearing Jack say his name made his heart beat quicken. He was truly obsessed with the man. No one knew that though. “It is rather lively. There’s a lot more people than I anticipated though. Which is good for the event planners. More money for them and it’s a success. Oh, yeah. They’re really great. Someone made a mermaid and even did all the scales in the tail. It was impressive.” He took a sip of the drink he had in his hand. He should have brought Jack one when he saw him. “So far, yeah. I like the drinks that’s for sure. Yourself?”

There was something about the cool ocean breeze that brought tranquility to a busy day. Even without Pelydyn there to keep her company she had found herself keeping busy with different activities during the trip. This right now was nice to take in though, to have a moment of quiet with the ocean as if each wave was a reply in conversation. The voice of another brought her back to reality, turning in his direction with her usual warm smile. “Fancy it is, are you enjoying beach life?”

A peculiar smile sat on Tiberius’ lips. “It’s alright. Not really my scene. I’ll be honest. I’m afraid of sharks coming to shore and the jellyfish that might be lurking in the waves. I might try the water but I’m mostly here for a friend and the drinks. Are you enjoying yourself?”

[djtwofaced]

Tiberius knew Jack would be at the beach. How he knew? That was classified information as far as anyone was concerned. He wasn’t there only for Jack though. No, Maddox was there as well and Tiberius also had his eye on a young woman that was there as well. He had a full agenda. When he finally found Jack though he approached him with a friendly smile. “I didn’t expect you to be here,” he said. “I never would have thought it was your scene.” It wasn’t really his either but as long as there was alcohol involved it was alright.

@graveyarddick​

The beach wasn’t somewhere Tiberius frequented. He would go if other people were involved and he had definitely followed a few people there before. But running into people he knew there was simply coincidence. Not with Maddox though. Tiberius had promised to meet him there. There would be plenty of booze so why not? He was already a few drinks in when he finally met up with his friend. “You finally made it,” he said as a greeting, a wide grin on his face. He couldn’t deny that Maddox looked good in those shorts. “Want to get a drink or hit the water first?”

{ella}

“Yeah, it’s not a name I am a huge fan of either” she made a slight joke of, just hearing it out loud had a tendency to make her seethe. Not because she wanted to, it was just a name after all; it was more so the people it was attached too that had her hissing internally; “Oh that would be marvellous-… I would really enjoy that, I’m Ella by the way-… the maid” she always felt so embarrassed saying her title but she believed that one day she would be able to embrace it-… or just be free from it all together.

“No? Why is that?” he asked. “Ella. A sweet and simple name. Not a fan of serving some of Arendelle’s finest I take it.” he said, the source of the name now coming back to him. Though he could imagine how snooty the family must be. He wouldn’t want to be their maid either. “Well, anyway, follow me this way.” He began walking towards the apartments and opened the door once he reached it, holding it open for her.

@everlasting-eilonwy

Tiberius knew each and every one of his tenants. He analyzed their faces until he could put a name to the face and remember it. Of of those tenants was Eilonwy. He had taken a liking to her sometime ago. Not in a romantic way. He was just interested in her. She was beautiful, no denying that, but Tiberius had a tendency to become obsessed with people. He had showed up at the library a few times to ‘check out a book’ but that really meant just checking up on Eilonwy. He’d heard about the beach bash and when he found out she was going through social media he made sure to be there. He wasn’t much of a beach person but he knew a few other people going as well so hopefully it didn’t look too weird. When he found her he approached her with a smile. “Fancy seeing you here.”

{ella}

“Lady Tremaine-… she spoke with you on the phone, or at least that’s what she told me” she didn’t know why she was looking to buy another apartment when she was basically living in a mansion as it was - curtesy of her father - but she was only here doing as she was told; “I am so sorry for this gigantic mixed up, she told me that it was at this place and this time and now I am so embarrassed-…” this wasn’t the first time either and sometimes she felt like she was doing it just so that she felt this way.

“Tremaine, Tremaine, Tremaaaaine,” he repeated, trying to place the name in his mind. “Yes, right. It does ring a bell. I’m not always the best with names.” Not really true since he had plenty of tenants whose names he all knew. Tiberius just had a thing for lying. “No need to be embarrassed. Mistakes happen. I have an hour to kill so that should be enough time to show you.”

[djtwofaced]

{ella}

Ella at first wasn’t sure who he was talking too, even turning around to see if he meant to be talking to someone over her shoulder but quickly came to the conclusion that it had to be her because she was standing by herself; “Oh. I’m sorry I umm-…I am meant to be here on someone’s behalf and I think I got the dates and days muddled up” thank god this wasn’t Lady Tremaine or she would be in bits if she had screwed something up, god forbid she make a mistake “I’m Ella by the way, figured you would need that for tomorrow”

“And who’s behalf would that be?” he asked. He wasn’t sure why someone would send a different person to check out an apartment for them. If the original person interested moved in without seeing it it could cause all sorts of complaints. “Ella,” he repeated. “I don’t remember seeing an Ella on the roster.”

She let out a chuckle. “Well, at least you can admit you’re wrong sometimes.” She knew a lot of men who couldn’t seem to. “It’s, uh,” she said as she shook her head, searching for the right words in her tipsy state. “It’s a good time. But it’s definitely not everyone’s scene.” 

“Well, no one is right all the time,” he said. “It just makes you a liar to say you are.” He glanced around, noticing no one else was around. “Yeah? Well, what’s it like? I might have to check it out if it’s good.”

[djtwofaced]

{wendy}

Wendy shook her head. “I’m alright. But thank you.” She didn’t know him. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to really know him. But still, she was too kind to tell him to go away. “Oh which ones? I have friends who live in some apartments not that far from here…”

“Of course,” he said with a friendly smile. A little too friendly. “I live in the ones off Hickory road but I own multiple properties in a few different areas.” His father may not have left him millions or anything but he left property which could turn into profit if Tiberius was smart about it. However, he wasn’t. Sure he made a pretty penny off them and lived comfortably but he was by no means rich.

{arista}

“You’re right.” Arista also took a moment to look up at the moon. She couldn’t explain why she was drawn to it, but ever since she was a child it had fascinated her. She chuckled again. “Well, I’m glad you’re choosing to prioritize your heart health,” she said playfully. “Maybe,” she stated again with a nod. “House of Mouse,” she answered, images of her night at the popular club replaying in her mind. 

“I would say I usually am but that’s not always the case.” He smiled at her, though he wasn’t sure if she could see in the dim lighting of the street lamps. “Always. A healthy heart is a healthy life,” he said. “House of Mouse? I’ve heard of it but never been there myself. How is it?”
