occupation: bartender at tejas Cantina
residence: ocean crest apartments
cheating/pregnancy tw: Jordan's mother grew up in search of acceptance and approval, which ended up being the reason that she got involved with a married man. The lies he told her kept her hooked until she fell pregnant, but the reality of his situation caught up with him, and rather then leaving his wife as promised, it was her that he stayed with.
The sum of money that was given to her was enough for Melanie to walk away and wash her hands of the man. But once the money ran out and the woman grew lonely once more, she returned to other men who fulfilled the need for affection
It didn't take long for her to find another person with who she became attached and eventually married. The process of moving out and eventually leaving for good came quickly but the already independent girl was ready with a plan when the apartment went up for listing.
She left and began to live with friends, moving from couch to couch. Moving into the homes of her boyfriends until she found herself with Silas. His lifestyle was alluring at first but the love quickly grew stronger than anything she had ever felt.
Arrest/incarceration tw: Until it all came crashing down one night while they were out on a run and a police officer stopped them. Before she knew it, he was being cuffed and taken to jail for charges that were not all his to take on.
She stood by him for years until juggling work, weekly visits, and bills began to become too much. At the height of her breaking point, Jordan changed her number and never returned to the prison to see him again.
After taking a few classes and securing administrative jobs, even becoming a fashion editor intern, she was eventually fired or let go of each. She turned to waitressing, barista work, eventually becoming the bartender at Tejas Cantina where she has managed to stay for a few years now.
"Maybe I would have cared a bit more if the Philippines had made it, but they didn't, so..." And he was only in the know about that because his mother had told him. "I'm more into watching surfing, but even then... I'd rather just be in the ocean myself."
"I didn't even know you could watch surfing and I don't understand how the point system would work. All sports are super complicated and look exhausting. Most of them you can't even see their faces properly so see if they're hot. It's a crime, actually. I wish we could tune in to something important like firemen working out, you know. Seems more appealing to me. It's still sporty."
"Not really?" Sometimes people liked to say he only got where he'd gotten because he was attractive and not because he was talented. Still, he got uncomfortable when people pointed out how attractive he was. Most of the time at least. "I'd rather people comment on my talent, not my looks." It was strange when people commented on it. "Well, for the mattress. It's a good mattress," he shrugged. "Well, I'm a student, so I'm not going places that often. And I don't go home in the summers." Thankfully. "I don't have private jet money." Not anymore. That was so expensive.
"You're a student?" Jordan looked at him as if he'd just burst her bubble and she had just wasted ten years of her life with this whole discussion. "Here I thought you were like.... rich rich. But you're rich and still going to school which means you're actually not that rich." Perhaps he was but she didn't know why anyone in their right mind would want to go back to school if they had enough money to support themselves without working or studying for a new career. "I'm sorry, that's so sad for you."
“ let’s say the fire one because the whole desert island and end of the world scenarios don’t really help the answers in the end. I feel like or just makes things worse when deciding “ did admitted as he glanced back over to her with a small smile. “ like whatever your first picks would be “ @jordanmitchell
"I feel like fleetwood mac is always a great album. I don't remember the actual ones that I have because I get them at a thrift store but like... her whole albums are rocking. Then I have a queen one that I love, and then there's a random shanaya twain but I really only listen to 'man! i feel like a woman!' of course." Her hand waves and eyes roll as if it was the most common sense thing in the world.
what does your muse need? this can be something material or something abstract.
"Oh my god. I saw a dress that I need but this girl came in and bought it in my size like ten seconds before I could get my hands on it. I hope she has the day she deserves for that. The color isn't even going to suit her, it's going to wash her out so I'll be hunting the resell sites. I bet you I'll find it there in no time after she wears it and gets zero compliments."
[ 🤝 ] how does your muse approach intimacy? are they hesitant, or do they like it? what types of intimacy do they like and dislike? (ex. physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.)
"I just go for it. I don't think about it a lot and the best intimacy is when it comes naturally. I want to be touched and obsessed over so an hand on my ass, on my thigh, my side. Like always make me feel like you want to ravage me, you know."
"I'm obsessed with flossing. Even if I'm drunk and I don't take my makeup off, you'll find me in the bathroom trying to floss. I might miss some teeth but the majority are done. I was once described in detail the ins and out of a gum graft, and how painful they are, so you won't ever catching me needing one of those."
"Serious question: is the World Cup always during pride month? Because this is the first I'm hearing of it happening at the same time." Josie probably could have asked Henry at some point, and he considered it, but it slips his mind whenever they're together.
"You mean the whole FIFA thing? Yeah, just because I work in a bar doesn't mean I follow the cup thing." It was good for business and the players were hot but that was as far as she paid attention, both in conversation or on the television. "But luckily I know Pride and remember the past years well. But to answer your question, no. I'd be so annoyed if it was."
"Good. He'd be blind not to know it. He'd just better show it is all I'm saying."
There were times that Edie wishes she could get over her deeply held grudge for Jordan's sake, but it was too much like a knot that had been soaked in water.
Impossible to undo, and worsening each time she attempted it.
The best she could offer was tolerance.
"I just want my mom to have a really good Christmas, that's all. And what makes her feel good is having a full house, so I want to be able to give her that again. Especially if it's her last Christmas in that house."
It was nice that Edie was trying to do something for her family. In the end, it didn't make much of a difference for her because there was food and that's all that it really came down to when accepting the offer.
It did, however, make her think a little harder about Silas and making sure he stayed on his best behaviour.
"I mean, don't put more stress on me. I'll do what I can and drag him out if he steps out of line."
As long as they didn't end up in a whole fight in the middle of Edie's living room, she'd call it a win.
"I've been meaning to ask how Uly's been doing? Feels like he's been busy with his sister and this new side of the family he's got."
"No one taught me. Our family isn't known to sit down and be quiet and most people would say that I came out of the womb this outspoken and loud. It's in my DNA."
"I'm taken. Super taken. Kinda ready to be married and to pop up a baby. But that's just today, ask me again tomorrow. I will probably still be taken but ready to wring a neck."
radius. who/what do they reach for first in a crisis ?
"Silas if he isn't at work, he's strong and used to throwing heavy shit over his shoulder so I'd expect him to save me. Otherwise, Clyde. But item wise, I have a box of personal items that I would reach for in a fire."

“ I’m sure people have asked this before but if you could only listen to three albums forever and only those three what would they be?” He knew people asked about one album but ford wanted to just get more of a variation of choices by giving more options
"I need more context. Is it because the world ended and I'm in a bunker? Am I on some desert Island and these are the records that someone left here? Is my house on fire and these are the first three that I've taken?" Frankly, she was mostly stalling because she didn't actually own a record. The music she had was what she'd randomly added on her Spotify after haring it on the radio or in some store.
Lore had always loved the idea of meeting someone and getting married. Her parents match wasn't a love match and although they liked each other, she'd always wanted more for herself. Lore had grown up wanting that for herself and she'd seen it with Jameson, still did. "Sometimes, but it's not my business to say anything. I mean I really hope that they figure it out before they get married. Plus in-laws don't have to be in their kid's lives if they're that horrible." Lore hoped that her life didn't come down to that. "No, I don't think so. They kind of have separate lives. Like not in a bad way. My dad works a lot and lives in LA. Mom's here. I think it grew into love, it just took a lot of time first." They hoped that would be their daughter's life too. "I'm still in love with my ex."
She didn't know if she could have someone dictate her life like that. The whole idea of someone picking someone to be with and the idea that there wasn't any plan b should things go wrong made her feel uneasy. "Have you ever wondered about them hooking you up with someone?" Maybe it would end up spectacularly, and if not, then she could just leave? Frankly, she didn't know if that was an option but Lore would have to figure that out and discuss with her own family. "Oh, shit." Almost immediately, Jordan dropped the subject of arranged marriage and honed in on the part that she understood better than most people. "Now, you're speaking to an expert. Silas who's been my ex boyfriend for more than he has been my boyfriend makes me an expert in this field. He went to prison because of the things he did, and for me, and then I kind of vanished." Not something she was proud of but it was all in the past now. "We always came back to each other and obviously were still in love, duh. So, tell me about your ex and I can tell you if there's hope or not. What happened?" It wasn't like she'd asked for Jordan's help or opinion but of course she was going to try and give it.
"I mean sure there are, but the fans that know me because I am good at what I do are more important to me." If that made sense. "I didn't go into driving or even streaming to get attention from people like that." Freddy knew that most people probably did care about that. In all the years he was in the spotlight, he didn't date. People kept tying him to new girlfriends, but he was more interested in racing than he was anything else. He didn't know many people like him. Everyone he knew was just as interested in starting a family and everything. "Oh, I don't sleep on couches. I don't care how expensive they are. I don't mind sitting on it though. My mattress didn't cost thousands of dollars for me to just... sleep on a couch."
"But you kind of like it, right?" Jordan said with a hint of a grin because she couldn't fathom anyone who didn't appreciate other people saying they were pretty. Maybe he didn't like it as much as she did but she wasn't buying that there wasn't a little bit of satisfaction. "A thousand of dollars for a bed?" It made sense given how long people slept in their lives but she could only dream to waste that much money on something like that. "You must be ruined whenever you leave your house. Even the most expensive hotels aren't spending that much money. I bet you'd buy a private jet just to come back home to sleep in your fancy bed. I hate you."
"It all depends who. I would comfort a family member a lot differently than I would Silas or a random person on the street. I'd probably tell them there's a lot worse things that could happen. They could be ugly or have gingervitus or whatever that gum disease is. Suck it up, buckaroo."
