JAMESON REESE ——————————————————–

He called me once in the middle of a party and made me come inside. I swear I’ve never seen that many people in such a small space-- his roommate looked a little strangled but he waved at me anyways. He looked good, but sort of like he knew it; with his arm slung around a redhead and drink in his free hand sloshing onto the carpet. “Dude, wanna stay?” I was tempted, but Friday’s are working nights; usually wiggling the ring on my finger helps, but there’s no fooling an Irishman. He gave me a wink and slipped my payment into my front pocket, “What she don’t know won’t kill her, right?”

————————————————————- PETER KOCHANSKI

"Just ignore the sweater, man.” I hadn’t noticed it until then, eying the parade of penguins marching just below his collar. It’s the best damn thing I’ve seen all day-- he glares when I laugh. He’s a broad dude, probably from all the work he does; there’s something emasculating about the tight fit of what appears to be a children’s jumper that can’t be passed up. “I don’t know,” I tell him, reaching for my phone to grab a picture; hell this is worth breaking my no image for my contacts rule, “I really think we should address it.”

SEBASTIEN DUBOIS ——————————————————–

This is the fourth house I’ve seen him in since I started dealing with Seb and he’s made himself comfortable on the couch, all set up and grinning like a cat over a bowl of cream. He’s telling me about how great this girl is, how he’s certain that she’s gonna be the one, ‘cause she’s super supportive y’know-- he’s not wild for her decor or food choices, but he gets by well enough, slipping out the fifty he owes me from under the sugar bowl. Pizza stash, he explains, swearing that she won’t miss it.

————————————————————- ORION ANDERSON

The questions come fast as soon as I enter the door. He’s a tall dude and has the tendency to drape himself over things, and it doesn’t make it any less weird as he starts quizzing me on whether I always wanted to be a dealer, whether this was a way of giving up-- I crack a smile when he asks if I ever wanted to be an astronaut. He hands me a crisp fifty and I tuck it into my bag, imparting with a grin and wise words: “I don’t wanna say it boils down to the little things but really it’s like you fail ninth grade chem and then you’re on the slippery slope to dealing drugs.”

MATSON HADEN ——————————————————–

She’s hungover, last nights makeup still under her eyes and squinting at the bits of sunlight that filter through her blinds. Her show last night went great, and she’s telling me about it with a hoarse voice. There was a producer there, or at least, she was pretty sure they were a producer, and he brought the whole band over to a party in Queens. “Should’ve been there, it was a fucking crazy night dude.”

————————————————————- LUCAS BLUM

“I fucking hate Manhattan.” He says it like a greeting, as soon as he lets me in. He’s been doing a lot of day trips lately, and he starts listing off all the reasons why no one should bring kids to the island. After a couple minutes of intense discussion about influenza and the trains, it’s time to head back out. I come in for a handshake and he steps back. “Don’t come too close bro, I’m pretty sure I’ve got baby vomit on my shoulder.”

MIRI ACOSTA ——————————————————–

We’re two beers and and an episode and a half into House of Cards when the cousin walks in. June mentioned when she moved in that it was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I don’t know if her cousin knows that. June calls to her, eyes still glued to the screen. “Hey Miri?” She nods, looking vaguely stoned. “Get the guy’s number before he leaves. You have to stop stealing our weed.”

————————————————————- HANNA LYNTON

Last time I saw her was after one of her shows, I missed half of it because the assholes on fourth took too long to decide if they wanted one eight or two— but the crowd loved her so much, I don’t think she even noticed. The girl was grinning like a jack’o lantern and she told me that she had used me for a joke and she was certain that I was what had turned the tide. It was like her birthday; I gave her what she had called me for at half price.

NATE KELLER ——————————————————–

He calls me up in the late afternoon and asks to meet up somewhere on his way home. “Long day at the office?” He’s got some business job, something short of Wall Street, but his tie’s knotted sort of crooked. The weed’s already been tucked away into the inside pocket of his coat, and before I go he finally speaks up, looking sort of apologetic. “Hey man, think you could not tell June about this? We’re trying to go easy on the weed lately…”

————————————————————- JUNE MORRISSEY

We’re all settled on the couches in front of the television. She insisted I stay a little while, at least until the pizza arrives. While Nate starts rolling, she grabs us beers and puts down coasters on the table with such deliberate care the message transcends subtle. “We have to open a window if we’re smoking inside,” she explains as she pushes one up, winter air flooding the apartment, “Or else the smell will get into the carpet.”

LEAH GROBEL ——————————————————–

Last Tuesday I had to wait half an hour in the rain while she marched over to the bodega to get me cash. I wasn’t allowed to wait inside— not because they thought I would steal something (she was super clear about that) but because she would die before she let someone wearing Toms set foot on her imported carpets. It took her about fifteen minutes to get the bills together, she counted them about three times and then made sure none were sticking together-- I was this close to telling her to forget about it when she pointed out that it was my fault for not taking cheques. An extra twenty had stuck to the cash she gave me. I kept it.

————————————————————- TRISTAN DEKAY

Once he called me when he was in the middle of a dinner party. He had covered up the phone at one point and told the crowd that he was speaking with his drug dealer, which I suppose would be more impressive if I wasn’t one hundred and forty pounds and had shown up on a bike with my Jansport stuffed with eight balls. The crowd watched me from the window and the exchange was totally awkward, I was paid in mostly singles that looked like they were freed from the waist band of a stripper and dismissed with the most glamorous “bye bitch.”

ETHAN BRADY ——————————————————–

He always gets me a free cup of coffee when I’m doing a delivery. He told me once that he figures it’s the least he can do, especially when I’m waiting in the cafe for a customer to stop asking him what kind of low-fat almond milk he’s got. Some kids in the back corner of his cafe called it, ‘the last destination before a corporate sell-out,’ so I guess you could say it’s doing alright. He might be too nice for New York, I’ve seen the guy give a shoplifter a pep talk, but hey, he’s always smiling.

————————————————————- LENNOX SMITH-DANIELS

My last stop of the day is this community theatre place. I was never really into the theatre thing. I’ve taken my niece to see Matilda when she was in town, but other than that, it’s not my style. Triple threat, they’re one of those people who live for theatre in that kinda too-passionate way. I have never once had a conversation with them where they weren’t practically tap dancing or monologuing. Not once. They hand me some tickets once we’re done and tells me I should come, because “There isn’t any way I’m going to perform if half these seats are empty on opening night.”

RILEY LIPSCHITZ ——————————————————–

I always swing by a little after school lets out. He smiles when he answers the door, but it’s a gummy kind of smile, and I know he’s dead tired and just wants me to get out of there so he can smoke and grade papers or whatever he does. I remember once I caught him looking at the band on my finger, and he asked me if I had any kids yet. “Kids are the best man.” He sounded so enthusiastic, you would’ve thought they paid him five bucks to say it.

————————————————————---- LOLA HAYES

The second time we met she asked me to follow her on Instagram. “It’s just I’m like, three away from my next hundred, so if you did that would be so great.” The fifth time we met she wanted to know if I could take a selfie with her. “It’s part of my 100 day challenge. It’s where you take a picture every day of something positive for a 100 days.” Last week she tried to buy weed on credit. “I just did a shoot with this up and coming photographer from Williamsburg, and I bet my left kidney it’s going to go viral. I’ll pay interest, I swear.”

SAGE O’CONNOR --------------------------------------------------------

She told me she always has to smoke a little after one of her free classes, especially after one of her ‘students’ shows up with bottled water or something. So I get there, and it takes her almost ten minutes to find her cash in her hemp bag, which she tells me all about, y’know, made by hippies in the silicon valley and how lettuce loses all its nutrients before it hits the store. She asks how far I am with The Four Agreements and she was totally right. The book is changing my life.

------------------------------------------------------------- ARNIE POWELL

I’m coming back from those art hoe girl’s place in Bushwick when I get a text from this geek squad guy who’s been buying from me for a while. It’s a pretty busy Friday night and I’ve got four other places to go, but I bump him up the list because I like the little dude. I get there and we do the exchange and then he offers to make me coffee, and I’m like, “Hey man, it’s nine thirty at night,” and he gets embarrassed and starts telling me about his allergies. He’s a funny guy.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – TRIPLE THREAT

Name: Lennox Smith-Daniels

Address: 479 3rd Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn

“No one remembers the extras, but they’ll remember you if you’re extra.”

/ / INTRO / /

Juilliard grad for Dance, where their speciality was always contemporary

Is true to their moniker; sings, dances and acts

Identifies as non-binary; isn’t overly concerned with defining themselves by gender.

Works on Broadway doing small variety shows and getting cast in minor roles in bigger productions. This isn’t because of a lack of talent, but rather because they’re very much still getting their foot in the door and getting their name known.

Their parents don’t approve of the way that they’re so fervently seeking out stardom but are still reluctantly supportive, though most of the financing required for costumes and dance supplies has to come out of Lennox’s own pocket.

To supplement the constant need for new things, they have a part time job as a Starbucks barista- and their “allegiance” with such a big-name corporation is not lived down amongst their friends.

Being a wild insomniac, (perhaps better classified as a bad case of the “3 AM Self-Doubts”) they often find themselves sneaking out at night and indulging in a different art form than they’re studied in-- tagging their name on every inch of city in spray paint with their initials “LSD”

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

Rooms with BOY GENIUS

Knows PARTY GIRL from college, they hung out quite a bit and now when they indulge in nightly ruckus; she’s the first that they call

Is quite familiar with the HANDYMAN after encountering him at several auditions. They're currently cast in the same play, and after some fierce competition, TRIPLE THREAT is incredibly bitter that they lost the lead to someone without any formal acting background.

Used to be best friends with FUNNY CHICK but have since drifted and have gone from knowing everything about each other to not knowing each other at all; which makes for an awkward relationship

Name: Orion Anderson

Address: 479 3rd Street, Gowanus, Brooklyn

“How do you feel about white hot chaos?”

/ / INTRO / /

Hailing from Bellevue, Washington, he is the son of a scientist who paid more attention to his work than his family.

He tried to gain his father's attention by matching his father intellectually at a young age. This sparked a ‘genius’ persona that he configured through the need of his father’s attention.

Eventually, he chose instead to surpass him in the field he loved the most.

Currently trying to earn his doctorate in astrophysics, he works and studies at Columbia

He only smokes marijuana on the occasion in which his brain isn’t already stimulated by uppers.

Needs to make sure everyone knows he’s the smartest person in the room.

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

At 2AM when he’s coked out and unable to sleep, he gives ART HOE 2 a call to discuss his opinion on popular theorems

Does the coffee run for the faculty and always goes to GOOD GUY HIPSTER’s cafe. He’s a regular and his orders now come at a discount, because the staff likes him so much

Has had a one night stand with THE MANNY and has managed to remain on good terms with him, even forming what could be considered a friendship

Rooms with TRIPLE THREAT

Tutored HOMELESS HEIDI in science throughout college, and because of this he’s become his personal Wikipedia, constantly pestered for accurate information for the other’s novel

Name: Riley Lipschitz

Address: 64 Lafayette Avenue, Fort Greene, Brooklyn

“They teach you a lot of things in teacher’s college; like how to grade papers and how to do parent teacher interviews. How to stop kids from lighting each other on fire and running around with scissors? They don’t put that in textbooks, you gotta wing that part.”

/ / INTRO / /

He teaches English at a junior high in Crown Heights

With his co-op completed in a nice upstate liberal arts school, this position is his first real teaching job

He’s something of a naive optimist; he loves his students and the idea of making a difference, but the kids of Brooklyn are completely different from anything he’s dealt with before

He’s out of his element, and unsure of how to handle the disadvantaged teens who sit in his classroom- getting through to them is starting to feel hopeless

Lives alone in a nice apartment with his dog, his parents still supplement the rent that his teacher salary can’t afford and they’re helping him pay off his loans

Smoking pot is a new thing for him, it’s a last resort to take the edge off of his stressful job

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

He’s bumped into CALI YOGI at the farmer’s market a few times, and considers their relationship a friendly one- maybe not quite friends yet, but getting there

While he’s at work, CRASHING COUSIN takes his dog for walks

He works out at the same gym as PUSSYWHIPPED. He’s been trying to get a little bigger, hoping somehow that will get the kids to respect him more

Has been arranged to go on a blind date by CRASHING COUSIN. His date is INSTAFAMOUS and it hasn’t happened yet.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – THE HANDY MAN

Name: Peter Kochanski

Address: 159 Russell Street, Greenpoint, Brooklyn (Apartment 1B)

“My grandmother is 84 years old and still doesn't need glasses. Nope, she drinks right out of the bottle.”

/ / INTRO / /

Born and raised in Polish Greenpoint, Peter’s never gone to college-- he did do night classes once to get certification to do plumbing/wiring etc.

Wants to be an actor, though he’s not sure how to get into it

Constantly practicing lines for auditions when working, most people find it charming; he hates to be considered annoying

He lives alone with his alcoholic grandmother, and often has to dip out of parties early to check in on her. He doesn’t necessarily keep his living situation secret, but he hates the pitying looks that come from people who learn of his grandmother’s condition

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

Lives in the apartment above ROCK N’ ROLLA and GEEK SQUAD; when there’s parties over at his place, he’s easily influenced into lending his space to make them multi-level events

Grew up knowing ART HOE 1 through very similar upbringings in the same neighborhood, knows ART HOE 2 through her as well

GEEK SQUAD is aware of his grandmother’s condition, and often volunteers to help out or keep an eye on her

He’s bumped into CALI YOGI at the farmer’s market a few times, and considers their relationship friendly, but not much else beyond that

He gets stoned with PARTY GIRL-- that’s about the extent of the relationship

Knows TRIPLE THREAT through auditions, they’ve recently competed for lead in a play and he won it over TRIPLE THREAT-- while Peter is a gracious winner, his competition seems to be anything but a gracious loser

Name: Matson Haden

Address: 299 Hancock St., Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

“Your car took up two spaces, so I tried to move it over with my key.”

/ / INTRO / /

Manhattan School of Music grad for Cello

Is a vocalist and cellist in a band with ROCK N’ ROLLA called “String Kerosene Of The Stoned Shutdown.”

Bartends at One Last Shag

Always has some kind of drug on her person, whether it’s leftover E from a party over the weekend or a bag of mushrooms, she is always ready to let loose

Had an unstable upbringing (raised in Minnesota) which has mirrored itself in her adulthood; the girl isn’t organized, and can be extremely aloof

Smokes pot as often as she does her cigarettes, claiming it as part of creative process

One of those people who knows just about everyone but doesn’t really know them and probably doesn’t even remember their names. Still, the random run-ins make for interesting enough conversations after a show and more than a few shots

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

Trades coke for pot with ASSHOLE 1; she goes through way more pot than she does coke -- plus she’s got some prime sugar.

In band with ROCK N’ ROLLA after a drunken hook-up that turned into some stoned music making and they’ve been rocking it together ever since.

Plays at the GOOD GUY HIPSTER’s cafe some weekends for extra cash.

Considers CRASHING COUSIN to be her musical rival

Has a weird relationship with HANDYMAN where they just get stoned together-- there isn’t much else to it, and that suits them both fine

Friends with TRIPLE THREAT from college, they’re both guilty of heading out in the middle of the night and painting (quite literally) the town red

HIGH SOCIETY // The heart of Brooklyn beats in time with mine...

“ Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between being a drug dealer and being a regular salesman. You don’t see the guy working in the bookstore being offered to borrow from your bookshelves; the woman selling you shoes never gets asked for her opinion on your latest musical endeavors. Perhaps there’s a certain cultural and generational gap between the functions of these two jobs, virtually the same, just in different context. One person’s a slave to corporate America— the other’s your classic underdog just trying to make a living. You’d root for me in a movie. ”

/ / INTRO / /

In the city for college, but tends to skip school in favour of activities that she thinks will further her career and her mind, instead of “pointless hours wasted on an old man droning on and on”

Works as a dog walker now and then. She’s not the biggest fan of dogs or their owners, but money is money

Occasionally busks in the subway, but she lacks patience to do it seriously and often leaves after a few unsuccessful hours

Wants to be a singer, does a few small gigs and actually has a good voice

While CONTROL FREAK has tried everything to get her to move out, she’s content to freeload until well after she finishes her degree

/ / CONNECTIONS / /

Cousin of the CONTROL FREAK, came from out of town (Upstate New York) and is now crashing on PUSSY WHIPPED’s and her couch

Has been flirting with GEEK SQUAD, but only when with a group-- they’ve never had a chance to see each other one on one

Working with ART HOE 2 to promote her stuff, but she’s awfully impatient

Occasionally does performances at GOOD GUY HIPSTER’s cafe

She’s friends with INSTAFAMOUS, though she has to admit, she isn’t sure why

PARTY GIRL is her musical rival

Takes JUNIOR HIGH’s dog for walks and acts occasionally as his matchmaker, having recently set him up for a blind date with her best friend, INSTAFAMOUS
