                  whether   they   were   actually   snowed   in   or   not,   guinevere   thought   it   was   especially   kind   of   wyatt   to   offer   to   help   her   out.   and,   truth   of   the   matter   was,   she   could   use   the   help.   “   i   won't   be   alone,   ”   she   admitted,   trying   to   remember   not   to   call   her   chaperone   a   chaperone.   “   i   have   my   .   .   .   roommate.   they'll   be   stuck   right   along   with   me,   ”   she   said,   nodding   with   something   a   little   less   than   enthusiasm.   she'd   much   rather   be   ‘   stuck   ’   with   a   friend   closer   in   age   to   her   own,   but   she   would   live.   “   uh,   i   wouldn't   say   no   to   a   little   help,   though.   i   don't   have   the   slightest   clue   what   to   do   for   it.   should   i   get   food?   toiletries?   that's   what   my   family   usually   does   in   the   event   of   a   hurricane.   is   this   even   remotely   similar?   ”

[highstaked]

wyatt pauses at the mention of her roommate but gives a slow nod. better with them than alone. but still, he worried about the blonde. "your old as shit roommate?" the question is playful, a teasing tone to his words. "exactly. all that shit. gotta be able to wipe your ass for a few days." another playful remark even if it's more on the crude side. "no but for real. you need lights with batteries and some meals that don't require heating up. but uh. i'm not the best to ask for that kind of stuff because i'll tell you to get, uh, goldfish and double stuffed oreos." wyatt shrugs even if he lived in the south for a while, his memory is hazy from his youth there. "honestly, i think if you can make it through a hurricane then you're all set on this."

☆ STATUS : closed for @danithereporter or @jxrdanluvscoffee. ☆ LOCATION : hex house. ☆ FEATURING : cricket and your choice.

"well, the parents can't blame me for what their kid bought." shoulders lift and fall in a shrug. "how was i supposed to know that book was full of actual spells and not some made up rhymes like hocus pocus." a frown settles onto her lips but there was no use in trying to justify it. "i know, i know. i messed up."

☆ STATUS : closed for @ellievswor1d. ☆ LOCATION : hex house. ☆ FEATURING : cricket and your choice.

"oh, please tell me you didn't just say that." cricket drops her head into her hands with a sigh. "no, no. you can't curse your boss just because they made you mad." although the words do have a smile growing on cricket's face as she looks up to them. "even though i'd totally do it for you."

[highstaked]

☆ STATUS : closed for @cryforlxve ☆ LOCATION : hex house. ☆ FEATURING : cricket and your choice.

"don't take this the wrong way-" cricket leans against the counter arms folded under her to hold herself up against it. "you look a little lost in here." they try hard not to break a smile but cricket doesn't think they manage to hide it. "anything i can help you with? love potion maybe?"

[highstaked]

under the cut you can find some wanted connections for cricket:

best friend - someone who sees the weird in cricket and gives the weird right back. a pair that always finds trouble when they're together.

friends - just plain ole good friends.

younger sibling vibe - the person that cricket took in. in true sibling fashion, the advice she gives is usually ignored but she always has a crying shoulder for them.

been friends since young adults - el moved to pinehaven at seventeen and this person has known her since then.

seem like a married couple - they banter back and forth, you'd be shocked to know they aren't dating.

flirtationship - cricket can come off as flirty even though that's just their welcoming personality. a little flirting never hurt anyone though.

friends with benefits - cricket doesn't sleep around much so this arrangement works for them. whether they catch feelings or not is another thing.

exes on good terms - cricket is pretty forgiving so.

exes on bad terms - spicy drama that we can discuss. cricket can be a lot so its no surprise not everyone loves her.

enemy / someone that things they got scammed - maybe they got a tarot reading with stuff they didn't want to hear and decided it was all fake.

roommates - cricket lives in a two bedroom studio apartment. so it would be fun to give her a roommate. we can discuss if they get along or not.

customer - someone who frequents hex house and the two are getting closer.

story —

elowen grew up with a father who wasn't in the picture and a very eccentric mother, it was no surprise her family got labeled crazy even with the mix of people running around new orleans. cricket spun what could've been a bad thing into something good. she leaned into the weirdness around her life completely. her mother had always encouraged self expression and let her daughter dress herself every morning no matter what she looked like. school wasn't easy. elowen was too loud, too annoying, too weird. they had heard it all before so it didn't come as a shock nor did it break her spirit. labeled the weird girl in school, el wore the title like a badge of honor. freaking out other students with the occult had always brought her laughter. that's why when her mother decided to up and move when she was seventeen, el went out on her own in search of a new home. that's when she landed in pinehaven at the age of seventeen. a long hit hiking ride but she had made it. pinehaven was home. but could she out run the weird girl label here? well, not really. people in pinehaven weren't harsh, they just kept their distance. it didn't matter because el liked it that way. she worked hard busting tables for a few years until around the age of twenty five she had enough to buy an old run down building. even her realtor was nervous about the purchase, constantly reminding el of the issues she'd face. and they were right. the building was a pain in the ass with more things wrong than not. but el was handy, saved a lot of money but learning to do things herself. cricket opened up a metaphysical store in town that carried all your witchy needs from candles to herbs to haunted dolls. she learned to read tarot and actually got pretty good at doing so. word went around and now she does tarot readings almost every night. most of the time you can find cricket in her shop, at the bar, or out in the woods looking for mushrooms and berries.

[arabesq]

                    she   wasn't   even   sure   why   she'd   tagged   along.   she   wasn't   a   smoker   -   of   bud   or   nicotine   -   so   perhaps   it   was   only   to   spend   some   time   with   wyatt.   that,   and   she   sort   of   wanted   to   see   what   a   dispensary   looked   like.   they   weren't   popular   establishments   in   costa   myri,   so   finding   a   legal   one   in   pinehaven   was   quite   the   sight.   “   i   do   have   my   vices,   ”   she   admitted,   giving   a   bit   of   a   shrug   in   wyatt's   general   direction.   “   but   that   doesn't   mean   i   feel   the   need   to   keep   extras   on   hand   in   the   event   of   a   bad   snow   storm.   how   bad   could   it   possibly   get?   ”   she   asked,   eyebrows   raising.   her   home   country   didn't   get   a   lot   of   snow;   it   was   more   like   los   angeles.   warm   most   of   the   year,   and   snow   was   a   genuine   rarity.   “   how   prepared   do   i   need   to   be?   i've   never   been   snowed   in   before!   ”

[highstaked]

wyatt won't dwell on her words but brows tug together in slight confusion. he wonders what a girl like her could have as a vice. but he doesn't push, figures he'll learn it all in time. "that's your first mistake. i always have extra on me." in wyatt's mind you never knew when you needed a smoke. especially with possible idea of being snowed in at his father's house. he'd probably need more than he even bought. "honestly? i'm not sure. sometimes they hype these things up and nothing crazy even happens. but better to be prepared than not." his voice softens in concern. "you need me to help you? you're not gonna be stuck alone, are you?"

for : @pinehavenstarters locaysh : wherever man

Nostalgia is the greatest heartbreaker of them all. Julieta remembers that this day is the 9th anniversary of her band's debut album, and the pangs in her heart tell her she should try to walk off. She takes her iPod with her -- a relic, but she'd always favored retro technology over anything -- and she plugs in her headphones, planning to go for a walk that's just as long as the debut album is : 47 minutes and 18 seconds.

She's so lost in her house of memories -- both good and bad -- that she doesn't even realize she'd bumped into someone on the street. "Ay, perdon." She exclaims, finally returning to earth and taking her headphones off. "No te- I mean, I didn't see you there. I should pay more attention where I'm going."

[highstaked]

yubin opens their mouth to make a smart comment about how the sidewalk was big enough for them to walk side by side. and another to watch where she was going. but they shut their mouth to moment the other speaks. "oh." a surprised noise. most people who bump into you just keep going, maybe toss a curse under the breath. "nah, it's fine. you were locked in." motions towards the headphones. "i get that."

[unfvlding]

for: @n1ghtmared location: nora's apartment

THE CAT CLOCK ON THE WALL STARES INCESSENTATLY. its beady, black eyes sit in two identical states of listlessness tail swishing in a mercurial arc. nora blows a ring of smoke and it dissolves into the ceiling fan so ephemeral she can't recall it's shape as soon as it reaches the blades. she taps out the blunt onto a small, glass ashtray shaped like a liver and frowns at the receding cherry red tip. her eyelashes flutter, dark eyebrows furrowing in annoyance and she sits up, her her neatly bisecting the pallor of her skin. "i can hear you breathing." she snaps. it's an unfair accusation, libelous in it's mean-spirited nature, but she levels it regardless. it's not yubin's fault that she had a bad day but the worse angels of her nature rear their head regardless. spiteful, bitter, vindictive, nora can't remember a time when she was anything except. "you're so loud."

[highstaked]

yubin is learning nora. they haven't known each other too long, only about six months, but there's little things that they've picked up on since meeting the other. mostly, that her snaps aren’t always aimed at anyone in particular. yubin took no offence. “you’re being dramatic.” leaning back into the couch, shoulders rise and fall with easy rhythm. “wake up on the wrong side of the bed, sweetheart?” a grin flickers across their pale features, eyes tracing the fire that is nora. “i guess i’ll try to… breathe less in your presence, nora.” they continue, almost daring her to react.

☆ STATUS : closed for @cryforlxve. ☆ LOCATION : steep and brew. ☆ FEATURING : yubin and tae-yeol.

"you tricked me." but it doesn't stop them from taking a bite out of the blueberry muffin in front of them. the truth was that yubin hadn't eaten yet and she wasn't sure how tae-yeol knew that but he always did. maybe they were a bit more grumpy when hungry. just a bit. a sip of their coffee before he speaks. "alright, why am i here? i think interventions only work with a crowd bigger than one."

[highstaked]

☆ STATUS : closed for @antiihvroes. ☆ LOCATION : papa's convenient store. ☆ FEATURING : wyatt and your choice.

wyatt knows that papa's hates to see him coming. sometimes he wonders if the owner puts the out of order sign on the slushie machine just to keep wyatt away from it. his records was six slushies in a day before one of the employees finally said he couldn't have any more in good faith. but right now it's wide open and wyatt stands in front oft he machine mixing every single flavor into one big mess. a smirk as he looks over to the other person. "the cheat is to tap your cup on the table and it shoves everything down into the cup. you get more bang for your buck that way."

[highstaked]

☆ STATUS : closed for @cryforlxve. ☆ LOCATION : in their parents home. ☆ FEATURING : wyatt and vivi.

another argument with his father held heavy in the air. it wasn't quite a screaming match but wyatt thought that might've been better than being told how disappointing he was. only a few more days and his mother would be back from her vacation and he go over there. for now, wyatt sits on the living room couch almost sulking. the sound of footsteps briefly raises his gaze before he toys nervously with his hair. "uh, hey. sorry if you heard all that." the plan to move out couldn't come sooner.

[highstaked]

☆ STATUS : closed for @sailorzenith. ☆ LOCATION : outside of nug and mug. ☆ FEATURING : wyatt and your choice.

"judge all you want but there's freaking icicles hanging off places that have never seen 'em. so, i'm just more prepared than most. if we get snowed in, i'm covered." wyatt's almost too proud as he pats his pocket where he'd just shoved a bag of prerolls into. "i know you have a guilty pleasure too."

[highstaked]

under the cut you can find some wanted connections for yubin :

the best friend who betrayed them - this is attached to yubin’s story but this person would be the best friend she grew up visiting pinehaven for. this person sold them out and watched as their life went to shit. the two have had no contact for the past few years but uh oh. they just so happen to now live in the same town again.

best friend / bandmate - yubin plays guitar in the band named vertical bombshell. doesn't take the band as serious as they should which stresses nora out. but the pair are too close so yubin know they're safe from getting kicked from the band. maybe just a physical kick to stop flirting at shows. / nora dae at unfvlding, pepper holbrook at sailorzenith.

someone they work with -duh, fun coworkers at pinehaven pins. could be they get along or maybe they even dread coming to work because of yubin. sdkjfds.

roommate ( 01/01) - yubin needed a fresh start to life but that didn't come cheap. these two met through a mutual friend and boom, roommates they became. or maybe they found each other online in a roommates ad. totally up to us if they get along or not. / vivienne chen at cryforlxve.

good neighbor - someone that lives on the same floor and/or above/below yubin and they get along well. i imagine they’re either getting close or they’re just casual good neighbors that borrow sugar and such. 

bad relationship neighbor - i imagine this to be someone that lives either below or beside yubin. they can’t stand their loud music and even louder gaming rage. constantly making snarky remarks with one another and banging on yubin’s door. maybe that’ll change once they get to know one another.

ex - this would’ve been a quick relationship that only lasted a month or two. yubin had commitment issues. totally up to us if they ended on good or bad terms. 

flirtationship - they flirt back and forth like crazy. who even knows if there is actual feelings blooming or if they’re both just in it for the love of the game. 

unrequited crush - either from yubin or your muse. i think both ideas could be fun so i’m fine with either. the feelings are there for one person but not the other and they have to navigate that to try to keep their friendship.

friends - give yubin all the friends. 

best friend - someone yubin has known for a while. maybe they even knew them as kids and they remained close / got closer since they’ve moved back. this is yubin’s ride or die which is far and few in between with the trauma he’s faced.

bad influence - yubin likes to smoke / drink sometime so it can be that route or someone who gets her back into trouble with their hacking abilities. maybe ‘just one job’ turns into hacking more and more.

good influence (01/01) - someone who keeps yubin level headed. maybe keeps them from not getting murdered by girls sdkfsd. just someone good and nice for yubin to hang around. yubin always finds their self going to them for advice, who knows if she takes it. / tae-yeol at cryforlxve.

one night stands - well. you see. yubin is a whore and these might be frequent. sdkfsds. could be someone yubin slept with then ghosted and oops we live beside one another or maybe it was a mutual one night stand and now they’re friends.

friend with benefits - no feelings attached … yet. the pair have a mutual agreement here and it benefits the both of them.

enemy - someone that just doesn’t like yubin due to their personality or maybe someone who hates who she works for. could be many different things but these two don’t get along with one another by any means.

have mutual friends - not quite friends but maybe working on it. they only hang around one another when the mutual friend is around.

drug dealer - someone that sells weed to yubin. maybe they get along, maybe they don’t really. but a deal is a deal.

found family - the group of friends that yubin can pretty much call family. it’s not many people but it’s enough for them.

gym friend/enemy - someone who is always at the gym at the same time as yubin. maybe they enjoy each others company or maybe it’s more of an annoyance than anything.

self dense classes - someone that takes self dense classes with yubin or someone they’re independently teaching self defense.

story —

born and raised in seoul, south korea, yubin’s childhood was fairly ordinary, shaped by a family that embraced them without hesitation. no phase was ever too much, no form of self-expression met with resistance. by their early teens, yubin gravitated toward a grunge aesthetic that felt permanent. they chopped their hair, added piercings, and after graduation, their story continued in ink. during her youth, yubin’s family often traveled between seoul and pinehaven and it was there that she met her best friend. separated by distance, their friendship lived online as pen pals, the two growing up like siblings in different cities. every summer brought a reunion as yubin traveled back to pinehaven. her best friend’s world was one of high luxury, and yubin was always dragged along into it although their grunge appearance stood out in contrast to the polished spaces and lingering stares. that same best friend soon dragged yubin into real trouble, convincing them to hack sensitive information from an opposing business, her father’s own competition. yubin was young, naive, and devoted to her best friend. they would have done anything for her. and so they did did. file after file disappeared without a trace. when the truth surfaced, the blame did not fall where it should have. the best friend turned on them without hesitation, swearing yubin was the mastermind and accusing them of selling out rival businesses. a looming lawsuit followed for years and yubin fled back to korea, haunted by the fallout and the fear of what could still come. his money disappeared into lawyer after lawyer, draining the savings yubin’s parents had once set aside for them within just two years. all the good luck had seemingly abandoned them. cash was tight and yubin took on any odd job they could to survive. the cozy apartment in seoul didn’t last long and soon they were forced to move back in with their parents. rumors spread just as quick and the well-paying job yubin once relied on vanished with them. then without warning, everything stopped. the lawsuit was dropped out of nowhere. yubin could finally breathe again—if only barely—still carrying the quiet fear that it might all return. but the ache in their chest of missing their best friend still lingered there. yubin needed a fresh start, a new place to rebuild the life they once had. their parents agreed to help them relocate to pinehaven for good and securing them an apartment. eight months in, yubin has settled into the town and found work as a attendant at pinehaven pins. it's not the most rewarding job but it pays the bills. off the clock, yubin is lowkey a nerd, spending most of their free time playing music or gaming—activities their neighbors have definitely heard more than once. she’s into space, star wars, building legos, and gaming. mostly trying to keep to herself but her flirty nature and smart mouth don’t always help.

headcanons —

has hacking skills and doesn't mind still doing that kind of business for the right amount of money.

yubin drinks their coffee black every morning as breakfast. it’s not even because they like black coffee … because they don’t. they’re simply too lazy to stop and get sugar from the store.

yubin loves music and can always be seen tapping along on their legs, a chair, the table, etc. anything can be made into music. they love to discuss all kinds of music and is willing to listen to pretty much anything except country. no country.

when yubin’s band tees get too worn up, they cut them out into squares and is slowly, slowly making a quilt out of them. which sewing is another secret talent of theirs. yubin can often be seen wearing their own work.

yubin got her first guitar at just five years old. a hand be down from her father. it wasn’t until he was around eleven that he actually started caring about it, though.

yubin loves space. loves stars and the moon. they wear a nostril piercing with a star on the right side and even have a solid black cat named moonlight.

yubin has taken self dense classes and tiquando since she was a child. he also works out at least three times a week in the local gym hiding a rather toned figure beneath their baggy clothes.
