Emery Dekker : @scyfyhq The wheels are 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 Broken machinery It grinds below us And all around I see The 𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 The old familiar halls The 𝑑𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑦 paper That’s covering the walls The shattered staircase The bed I’m 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 in We’ve tried to 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 this But we can 🇳​🇪​🇻​🇪​🇷​ win

Starter: A Day In The Life

          Taking a long drag of his cigarette, Emery looked up to the skies. He was leaned up against the outside wall of the saloon in the shade, where it was only mildly cooler. It was blue and cloudless for now, and not a breath of a breeze. He exhaled, his dark eyes still focused on the sky. The things he had witnessed in his year here were way out of the norm, yet something about the small town made him stay. Pulling his wary eyes from the sky, he took another drag off his cigarette before snubbing it out in the small standing ashtray beside him. It was slow, so he was really just killing time. Someone pulled up, so he smiled and gave a small wave.  ❛ Hello there! It’s a hot one out, isn’t it? ❜

Intro

  BOB MORLEY // have you seen EMERY DEKKER around town? We’re trying to make sure they’re still in town, especially with everything that’s been happening lately. HE is a THIRTY year old MALE. currently residing in Perfection Valley, but they’re originally from SEATTLE, WA. they are best known for being a BARTENDER, and i hear they’re pretty CARING yet also PARANOID at times; i hope they continue to survive. (star, 28, cst, she/her)

Born into a lower class family in the city of Seattle. Eldest child of three, Emery spent most of his childhood years helping to raise his sisters. Father left shortly after his youngest sister was born. Mother worked two jobs to try and support her family, so she was rarely ever home. After he graduated, his mother remarried. Knowing his sisters and mother were taken care of, Emery left home. He worked odd jobs all over the country, eventually finding himself back in Seattle. Falling on hard times, Emery turned to dealing less than legal things to get by. Pushing his luck one too many times, he was caught. Making a deal with the judge, he promised to move away from Seattle and clean up his act (along with a hefty fine, of course).  Selling most of his possessions, he had enough left to buy a small truck and some necessities. He decided the desert would be the best place for him, hoping maybe somewhere along the way he’d find himself again. Emery happened upon a small town on his journey through the desert. Needing money, the man put his truck in park and applied for the position.What was a few days to make some money and be on his way?  It’s been a year since then, and Emery is now starting to wonder how he’s made it this long.
