Status: open to all! Location: Anywhere your little heart desires <3 Make me laugh Kaden found herself again zoning out, eyes snapping back to refocus on who she was with. "Sorry--again. Mary Jane's been...it's been hard with...you know the potty-training." She said lamely, realizing how that must've sounded, and rude. "Tell me, again, and I promise you've got my full attention or I owe you one."

Eli smiled gently, shaking her head at Kaden's apologies, "Don't worry," she assured the other woman, "I can imagine you're exhausted at this point, so just tell me if you'd like me to shut up." She took another sip of her coffee before starting again, "I was just trying to say that I know a really good dog walkers if you ever need someone to wear a little puppy out."

When: Late Afternoon

Where: Quarry Park

He had taken the opportunity to adopt a dog, maybe it would make him take more responsibility. He had tied the leash to the bench so that his hands could be free, making sure his new buddy was also eating a snack. Quarry Park was nice and quiet, which was how he liked it. That didn’t stop him from talking to whoever was around him, though. “Beautiful day, huh?” At least it looked like it would be. “Want some cereal?” He didn’t get to eat yet due to the lack of time management skills. “Got the rest of the box in my backpack," He looked towards it. “It’s rice krispies. The best kind, am I right?”

Eli didn't get much time to herself, but when she did she always managed to grab a book (this one she'd been trying to read for months, it seemed) and head down to the park. She loved sitting in the grass, leaning up against a tree and really nutting out a few chapters to try and relax herself. Funnily enough, she needed to set herself a deadline - three chapters by the sun set - or she'd allow her mind to wander back to work or her mother instead of realxing. Relaxing on a deadline... that seemed to only make sense to her.

As she was halfway through the first chapter of the three in her afternoon assignment, she heard a nearby voice and glanced their way, "Hmm?" she asked, her mind taking a minute to catch up to her mouth, "Oh...! Yes, it's absolutely lovely today. Nice to see the clouds haven't gotten too dark." The second question threw her momentarily and she glanced down at her watch before asking, "Is it a bit late for rice krispies?"

Where: The Tipsy Whale Who: Open (Cap at 4)

“Maybe we can do this again sometime?” Braylon blinked at her for a moment before he remembered to respond, pushing a smile on to his face. Be nice, Braylon, be nice. “Maybe, that’s definitely an idea.” He shot back to the woman as she put her jacket on, not making a single effort to follow her. With an awkward wave, she was off, and all niceties and gestures of politeness melted off his expression. He turned to the bartender, tapping his fingers impatiently. “Please! I need a glass of whiskey as fast as you can pour.” He leaned forward on the bar with a heavy sight, only briefly turning his gaze to the person sitting beside him. “Never let someone set you up on a blind date. It’s setting yourself up for failure.”

Eli had finished work rather early that day but made the decision to go and see her mother in the care home instead of going home and resting like she knew her body was telling her to. Of course that hadn't been good for her emotional exhaustion and once she was on her way back to town, she spotted the Tipsy Whale looking rather enticing. It wasn't long before she was pulling into a car space down the road and making her way up to the bar to order herself a drink. One alcoholic ginger beer down and Eli was looking around the bar for something to take her interest. Hearing someone speak close to her, she glanced the man's way, a brow raising when she realised no one else was close enough to reply, "Yikes," she hummed gently, "Who set you up? Might have to remove them from your contacts if they've done you so dirty."

{ elili aaran | 29 years old | cis female - she/her | plastic surgeon | pilar point }

Born in India to a single mother, Elili was born using the Tamil tradition of naming children. Her first name is legally Aaran (her ‘alleged’ father’s first name) but she has always gone by the more feminine and given name Elili. After moving to the states, her mother enrolled her in all school and other programs as ‘Elili Aaran’ and so aside from legal documents, she is Eli.

When Elili was three, her mother made the hard decision to leave India for what she thought would be greener pastures. Her mother had found herself pregnant at the age of 36 after a rather tumultuous affair with a local political insider and immediately was shunned by her family. It wasn’t a good look to be single and childless in her 30’s, but it was even worse to be single and pregnant so when the opportunity became available to move to the states for a job with LAX, Eli’s mum jumped at the chance.

Eli loved schooling from the moment she was enrolled in preschool and excelled quickly in her reading and comprehension. Eli’s mother always pushed her to focus on her studies, sometimes to Eli’s detriment as she had trouble making friends during her schooling.

It was hammered into her that she should be ready to take over the responsibilities of being the head of the household from an early age considering how old her mother had been when Eli was born and the child always took that to heart. She was fourteen when she got her first job (a part time gas station attendant) and contributed to paying bills for their home from the moment she cashed her first cheque.

Eli excelled in all things science related in high school and after a conversation with one of her favourite teachers, Eli decided to focus her education pursuits on becoming a doctor. Surely that would help her finance the later years of her mother’s life so she figured it was the best career choice. Her mother was elated to hear she was planning on pursuing medicine and began encouraging Eli to work more hours during high school so she could save money for college.

She would spend her days at school and her evenings at work, making sure to keep up with her studies while the gas station wasn’t all that busy. One evening she found several scholarship programs and began preparing her applications to help her afford the sizeable tertiary study she was hoping to undergo. With a letter of recommendation from all four of her science teachers and an essay on how she had grown up under pressure and overcome the odds of their situation thanks to her mothers passion, Eli was awarded a full scholarship to the New York Institute of Technology and promptly moved across the other side of the country to complete her studies. Her mother stated in California and Eli continued to send money from her new job in a bodega back to her mother each month she was away.

When Eli finished college, she decided to move back to California and take a residency job in a plastic surgery clinic just outside of Half Moon Bay. As her mother turned 60, it became increasingly aware to Eli that the older woman’s health was in severe decline and after a few tests prompted by Eli’s medical training, she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers. Eli immediately moved her mother into a care facility close to Half Moon Bay and rented herself a house in the Bay so she was nice and close to her mother at all times.

As much as Eli would love to do reconstructive surgeries for those who’ve been in accidents, she knows the real money is in cosmetic plastic surgery, ‘fixing’ noses, stomachs and breasts for people in LA who have too much money. For now, she is focussed on paying people she trusts to look after her mother as her Health continues to decline.
