Iseul sat on a park bench that rested comfortably in the beach sand, elbows resting on the table as she spun a quarter over and over between her acrylics, letting it go and guiding it with her hands to keep it from falling into the sand. âWant to play Heads or Tails?â Iseul asked the person that had been mostly silent, sitting across from her at the table. âHeads, you have to tell me a secret. Tails, I have to tell you one.âÂ
the rosy flush of sunburn is a touch uncomfortable. felixâs nose partly crinkles at the thought, partly out of a habit ingrained into the day. mouth dry and head spinning, heâd become more inclined to indulge iseulâs prod at a secret with the fog of white rum still lingering in his head. â yeah, fine. â half-heartedly shrugging, he leans forward to drum fingers on the splintered tabletop. even if he lost, thereâs little in it when he can easily ring up a lie. â heads. flip it and letâs see. â
itâs cee again , i hav no self control , letâs just leave it at tht shall we................ as always, details under the cut :-]
ăEMILE WOON â CIS MALEă âżÂ looks like FELIX CRISPIN BRADY is here for HIS SOPHOMORE year as an ANCIENT HISTORY student. HE is 22 years old & known to be CANNY, EXUBERANT, PRYING & FOOLHARDY. Theyâre living in PERKINS, so if youâre there, watch out for them.Â
BACKGROUND
thereâs an heir to the throne and felix is it. old, tarnished money and a house flanked by creeping ivy tucked away in new haven, connecticut, thereâs little else he has to strive to when the silver spoon is unlikely to ever leave the mouth.
felix is the middle child - flanked by an older sister bound for pre-med at yale, a younger brother who returns home from school with bruised eyes and split lips from another needless fistfight, thereâs little attention on him. it gives him a breathing space. an air free from the more insistent parental expectations. he only has to do one thing and that is to succeed. such a simple goal makes it easier to stomach the fact that his mother and father care little for him. he is pacified with money.
school is nothing extraordinary. private college after private college, a newly starched collar and blazer with it. behavioural problems, numerous deans call it. he thinks heâs just rotten. school is nothing more than a joke, a stepping stone, bursting at the seams with a swaddle of people who he can hardly call real friends, a different girl in his messages each month. eventually, there are party pills and vodka. it doesnât matter, since his parents care more about his report cards returning home than him. graduation is a blur. he canât wait to leave.
two wasted years are spent at cornell. he got into business, like his father wanted. he moved away, like his father wanted. he eventually dropped out, as he wanted. his mother wonders why when they look at his final grades. they can get him in anywhere, and his father quietly hopes itâll be pre-law. something useful.
the final nail in the coffin shouldâve been the ancient history course he took up at radcliffe. but his motherâs strangely overjoyed at the fact heâs closer to home. they say itâs because itâs a family tradition, of sorts. a rite of passage for those in the family. perhaps they can keep a better eye on him. itâs wishful thinking when a credit card is thrown his way and the occasional, obligatory phone call lights up on the screen. they are no more interested in him then they are his spending habits.
PERSONALITY & TRAITS
disgusting?Â
sagittarius. idk what else to tell u
allergic to self care. under the layer of designer clothes and chatty personality is a hot mess
bunny corcoran w/out the raging homophobia n misogynyÂ
knows heâs queer but leaves it at that. probably trapped in a premature mid life crisis. identity is smth he does Not want to discussÂ
the only reason he hasnât been kicked out of perkins yet is because the raâs who pull him up have often been bribed with money ( of his or his parentsâ accord ) to keep their mouth shut and let him stay. having a family whoâs donated to radcliffe for generations back also helps with the prestige. besides, heâs not caught all that often
is never not seen in fendiÂ
may also be spotted vomiting on his thousand dollar prada loafers at a party cos heâs all class
bit of a social butterfly - mostly to get in on the hushed conversations. he can easily connect with other people but itâs always superficial
hollow to his core and likes it that way. he isnât bound to change and kick the bad habits despite how hard people he doesnât deserve have tried to encourage him in the past
would actually go really far if he applied himself a little more. refuses to believe he canât really get a better deal than ending up with the family business because his younger brotherâs become a raging socialist and his sister has no interest in it
can read others surprisingly well - often makes a game of dragging quieter people out of their shells or getting a rise out of someone
WANTED PLOTS
friends ( donât quote him on that tho ) heâs always seen with on campus and at parties. his posse, basically, though he wonât call you that to your face
that being said, an actual, genuine friend he doesnât act like a complete bastard around
his dealer :/
ppl who canât stand him
classmates he either annoys or secretly looks up to, studies with
i donât wanna say he has fwbs coming in n out of his room like a lazy susan on a dinner table but like..... heâs slept around
unlikely friends - those outside of his immediate social circle. the kinds of people he hangs around to feel better about himself or honestly, makes him feel a little less tethered to the suffocating family heâs from
