papa was a rodeo

Maybe it all would’ve been different if Jacoby Wise ever knew his mama. He had potential, that’s what all his teachers said: smart as a whip, and charming when he wanted t’be. But no amount of meetings with well-meaning teachers or school guidance counselors ever quite made up for the fact that he was left for dead ‘fore he could even talk.

Home was anywhere with diesel gas, love was a trucker's hand

Misty Mountain, Carolina was never gonna feel like home to Jacoby Wise. Far as he could figure, it was pretty much fated to turn out that way. His earliest memories didn’t paint Misty Mountain in such a good light– the bone-chilling cold of a dark apartment without heat, the sloshing of green-tinted water in the bathtub, and the scratchy feeling of a throat that’d cried itself hoarse. Jacoby was left with his only inheritance on the kitchen counter: a moldy half-loaf of bread, a stained towel he’d been wearin’ as a swaddle, and a birth certificate declaring his name– both parents’ names conveniently scratched off it. He reckons they had somewhere real important to get off to.

jacoby! top 3 friends? top 3 enemies? 3️⃣👍👎

"Um... okay, weird question. Marshall's my buddy, which might be an unpopular opinion these days..." Jacoby shrugged, like he gave a fuck. He considered it for a moment before saying, "Lenny and Major are up there too, and-- August." The thought of 'enemies' made the space in between Jacoby's eyes ache, and he rolled his eyes, "Far as people I can't stand? Sweet William, Routledge probably."

if august wanted you back, what would you do?

"Back as... what?" Jacoby paused, shrugged it off. "He doesn't, so nevermind it."

what are your thoughts on finding out that monsters are real?

"That's quite the conclusion, unless you mean....monsters as a metaphor for somethin'. I'm not the one who's going to join in on some mass hysteria situation, alright? Try again."

What the fuck do you think is really going on in this town?

"The same shit that's been happening in this town for decades. Piss poor infrastructure, a crumbling education system, and well-meaning people turning their grief and anger into something it isn't."

Well, well, well... It's been a little while since we got to have a little chat, huh? We're all just DYIN' (too soon?) to know what's on your minds over here, so - what do you say to pullin' up a chair, and havin' a good little bout of Front Porch Gossip? Some say it heals the soul!

Here's the deal! You're gonna reblog this post to participate - and then you're gonna grace any little nasty question that comes your way with an HONEST answer... or at least as honest as you can stand to be. And don't you forget to send some questions over for me and my lovely Cherie too - you know we can never resist a little gossip.
