"breathing you in when i want you out." jason harper / 23 [ closed rp blog ]

[jasonharpcrs]

“My grandparents... left me property here. I understand that their home meant a lot to them, but they didn’t realize I would have to live here and basically look after it.” Jason sighed. “I don’t mean to sound like an ungrateful brat, but I was just about to get my life going. I just pictured I would be somewhere else by now.” He took another sip of his beer. “So yeah, I’m technically not here ‘cause I want to be here...” 

[jasonharpcrs]

“You’re not scared at all of the murderer?”  Jason understood why people were locking doors and not going at night anymore. It was reasonable to be paranoid after a murder just took place. It was almost as if this town was placed under a quarantine. “Richard Ramirez, every heard of him?” Jason casually asked. “Very famous serial killer in the mid 80’s. He was called the night stalker. He invaded homes.” He had always been fascinated with this kind of stuff... call it a morbid fascination, if you will. “Just an interesting fact for the day.” He crosses his arms. 

“Hey, I’m trying to see the best in everything... and a little humor never killed anyone.” He was wondering this stranger was just questioning him. “You ask a lot of questions for someone who isn’t in law enforcement.” He continued, “I’m just taking a late night stroll... staying home is a drag. I live alone, so it’s even worse.”

Jason stared at the cupcakes in the box. “Hm, I wonder if this chocolate one is any good.” He carefully grabbed it and took a bite from it. “Wow, that’s pretty good... I’m more of a muffin guy, but that’s a solid cupcake.” He nodded in approval. 

When the stranger talked about his profession, Jason remarked, “That’s really sweet.” A little smile appeared on his face, exposing some of his teeth. “Teacher is a respectable profession... and a hard one at that, so I can’t knock you for it.” Really, the last thing Jason would think about this guy was that he was a teacher. “It’s so weird to think that I was once a restless kid in this small town.” He continued, “I grew up here and I just thought this town was too small for someone like me...” however, he was glad to here the other male was enjoying pondbridge. “Jason.” He firmly took Levi’s open hand. “I guess since you told me about you, it’s only appropriate I tell you about me.” He continued, “I’m just a music producer... and sometimes a dj.” 

[jasonharpcrs]

hi everyone, I’ll be getting to my messages tomorrow as I need to sleep soon. I have to get up early for work. meanwhile, jason’s plot page is here. it’s super basic at the moment as it is still under construction. also, if you’d rather chat on discord, then pls ask for my discord handle. 

[jasonharpcrs]

“oddly enough, I grew up here. Hard to believe, right?” jason found it oddly comforting to chat with the bartender. He seemed like a cool dude. “I’ve been here for around a year already... due to some personal stuff. I was in Los Angeles before. Man, LA was the best.” He couldn’t help but dreamily stare off into space whenever he thought about California. “You know the feeling when you’re in the place where you belong? I’m not sure how to describe it, but it’s an amazing feeling.” Talking about it was making him miss it that much more. Maybe he will shopping for vinyls later to keep his mind off things. “I’m a music producer. I also djed at some of the places downtown. It’s not that exciting, but it’s something.” 

the younger male shrugged. “But I’m here now, so I’m trying to make the best of it.” He continued, “how about you? You’ve been here your whole life?” 

[jasonharpcrs]

jason joked, “I love tattoos, but if I keep getting them whenever I’m bored, I’ll run out of space on my body.” He already knew that pondbridge wasn’t the epitome of excitement. “it’s not like I’m staying here willingly... and I’m not being held hostage or anything, so you don’t have to worry about that.” 

[jasonharpcrs]

“I’m just trying to be optimistic I guess.” A little smile appeared on his face. “Especially when I don’t even know how long I’ll be here.” even though staying in pondbridge wasn’t in his plan at all, he was willing to do it for his grandparents. Jason knew how much this place meant to them. Jason was never offended by Dani’s sense of humor. In a way, they just understood each other. 

“The sixth sense? Who hasn’t seen that?” He jumped a little when Dani gasped. “Hereditary? That’s a fairly recent one, right?” He had a thoughtful expression on his face. “I haven’t seen that one yet.” He was intrigued when she said he was going to be traumatized. “Those are some bold claims. Alright, let’s do it.” He added, “I normally don’t trust others when they recommend me movies, but I trust you. So far, I’ve enjoyed every movie you’ve recommended me.” 

[jasonharpcrs]

“Pokemon go is kind of stale here. It was better in Los Angeles.” He casually replied, “trust me, I’m the last person they would suspect of being a serial killer. I’m not that twisted.” with the recent murder of chelsea, jason understood why the residents were perturbed. he was bothered by her murder as well. why would anyone murder a girl like chelsea in cold blood? 

jason was amused by jamie’s statement. “you’re checking me out? I’m flattered. Let me know if you wanna arm wrestle.” obviously, he was joking around. “I’m not sure how you know how much strength is required to kidnap a 10 year old... but I won’t ask.”

[jasonharpcrs]

Jason really was apologetic. He seemed like a really good guy. “I understand.” He continued, “all of us have off days... when everything just goes wrong.” 

He felt even more guilty when the other male mentioned that they were for his students. “Wow, that doesn’t make me feel like more of an asshole at all.” He remarked as he realized he possibly ruined this guy’s day. “Sure, it’s the least I could do after I practically destroyed your desserts.” jason was flattered the stranger offered him cupcakes. “I’m not really into cupcakes, but if you insist...” He picked up one of the objects and began walking beside the stranger. “So, you’re a teacher, huh?”

“You. Yes, no– you, yeah, you’re not invisible. If you’re playing Pokemon Go in a fuckin’ graveyard your ass is about to get haunted.“ With another slow drag from his cigarette, he took a step closer towards the other after having both his private bubble and 20 minute break interrupted by the new, living presence. Already irritated, his dark brows furrowed harder. "Don’t tell me you’re here for a quick fuck; people don’t STILL have sex in the cemetery, do they?”

“how did you know?” a smirk appeared on jason’s face. “you think i’m gonna get haunted, but in reality, i’m gonna become the pokemon master.” when the man walked closer towards him, jason did not flinch. he seemed to be in a bad mood, but the younger male didn’t really seem to care. “actually, that would make things interesting. let me put fucking in a cemetery on my bucket list.” he watched as the smoke emanated from jamie’s cigarette.

“i guess this is the one of the perks of having a mansion to myself. horror movies in the living room on a projector anytime i want.” jason placed a bowl of popcorn onto the coffee table. he certainly did not look the type, but he enjoyed watching horror films. what better way to start october than have a horror movie marathon with a good friend of his. he had been friends with dani since high school, regardless what anyone thought of her. she helped him out a lot over the years, so he was grateful towards her. “since you’re my guest, i’ll let you pick what movie we see first.” he sat down on the couch next to her and opened up a bag of red vines.

He stared at the upside down box of cupcakes currently on the floor and felt a momentary need to take a deep, shaky breath so he could refrain from spontaneous waterworks. Truly, he should have predicted this; he’s never had much success in balancing things and if it wasn’t for his memory failing him that morning, he wouldn’t have to drop by the grocery store AND the bakery that evening. The longer he stood there, staring at the waste of 30 dollars and food, the more his stomach knotted until the aggressive collision of someone’s shoe against the cardboard propelled his little cupcakes further towards the edge of the sidewalk. “Hey!” He said pitifully, scampering towards the box and finally placing it upright and away from future kicks. “You should watch where you step, you know. It might be dessert this time, next time it might be a puppy or a child.”

jason was not really paying attention to where he was going. it wasn’t that he was in a hurry or anything. maybe he was just being careless. he eventually felt his foot kick something. he watched as a cardboard box was propelled to the edge of the sidewalk. it wasn’t until a stranger yelled “hey” that he noticed that box belonged to someone. “shit, i’m so sorry.” he grew wide eyed. the stranger was right; he should have watched where he was going. “well, yeah... that’s a given, but your stuff is ruined.” he added, “do you need help or anything?” really, he wanted the stranger to accept his offer as he really needed something to do. 

[jasonharpcrs]

i posted a really bad starter but i’ve messaged those who liked my last post for plotting. if any others would like to plot, pls don’t hesitate to dm me. i am sick so i’m sorry if i’m a little slow. 

[jasonharpcrs]

only after a year of staying in pondbridge, jason was growing tired of this town, knowing what else was out there. he was staying by himself in a mansion; a rich kid with way too much free time. besides his music, he did not have anything else to work on. he even considered taking up a part-time job at a local joint just so time could pass by faster. however, he was grateful that he was able to rekindle friendships with people he lost contact with after leaving for los angeles. 

jason found himself at a bar, trying to enjoy himself. he remarked, “god, is there really anything else to do in this town?” he took another swig of his beer.  

[jasonharpcrs]

Hello, I’ll be around for plotting, if anyone wants to plot. You can dm me or like this post :) sorry I wasn’t around yesterday. I was really exhausted from work.

[jasonharpcrs]

[ kj apa, 23, cismale, he/him ] — well, well, guess who my eyes see! isn’t that [ jason harper ]? i have seen them around town for a while, maybe [ one year ]? i know they consider themselves [ carefree ] & [ artistic ] but i think they are [ impulsive ] & [ selfish ]. i believe they are [ dj / music producer ]. let’s hope [ gemini ] proves themselves a saint! //

hi everyone, i’m gray and i’ll be rping jason ! super excited to be here since i love horror and mystery rps. i provided more about his muse under the cut.

grew up in pondbridge with his parents

his grandparents (on his father’s side) were the ones who initially settled down in pondbridge 

he was always an outgoing kid who was always doing something. he explored different interests and he liked experimenting with everything. i know that sounds hella vague but it will make sense in a bit or eventually...

during high school, he was quite popular. he played sports, was in band, joined a ton of clubs. his grades weren’t too bad either. 

he attended college in los angeles and worked as a dj / music producer on the side. he was a business major, but he pursued music on the side to balance the seriousness of business. does that even make sense lmao

he wanted to stay in los angeles and pursue music, but his grandparents left him their mansion in the northside of pondbridge when they passed away. 

so now he’s back in pondbridge trying to take care of the mansion business like all the paperwork and stuff

he currently lives and works from the mansion. he set up his own studio and everything. he has all the space so he decided to use it. 

he’s honestly antsy to move back to la, but it’s not happening anytime soon. even with the murders happening, he knows that he can’t just leave. 

he is mainly a music producer, but has djed at some of the local joints in the downtown area

he does kind of act spoiled but not excessively. his family is quite well off. his grandparents were hella rich, and his parents are both successful

he is outgoing and is the life of the party usually, but lately, he has been on edge because he just feels stuck. he feels like he’s not doing enough. 

to make matters worse, chelsea was a friend of jason’s.

Personality: he can be very stubborn about his artistry. Basically, he doesn’t like being tied down by people who think they know better. He’s impulsive in the sense that he could act according to his emotions before thinking then acting logically. He’s selfish because once he wants something for himself, he’s going to chase after it only for himself. If that’s a positive trait, it would be determination I guess. 

wanted connections:

high school ex- your muse and jason briefly dated while they were attending high school together in pondbridge

hook-ups / fwbs- gimme all of them, the more scandalous the better

best friends / friends in general- your muse and jason were good friends while he was still living in pondbridge or they got close just recently

muse- jason is always on the lookout of musical talent, and he thinks your muse is super talented. he really encourages your muse to take a shot at music or at least let him help them put out some music

Gym buddies- your muse and Jason work out together regularly 

Your muse was also a friend of Chelsea, and Jason finds comfort in talking to them

Here with me - Jason’s not a fan of living in pondbridge. He likes to say that the only reason he’s staying is because of his grandparents’ mansion. However, your muse is the other reason (he won’t admit) that he’s staying in pondbridge. Jason is basically head over heels for your muse. He eventually tells your muse how he feels. ( this will require a lot of plotting as well as angst. It’s up to you how your muse handles his confession. It can be one-sided, it can be mutual, etc. if you’re up for it, let me know. This connection can also be altered to be more platonic, not purely romantic.)
