Of course Bastian had always known even back when they had first brought a child into their home that eventually the children would all grow up and leave the house. In part it was a dream in and of itself to be able to watch it happen; recall all the wonderful memories of small bodies running around and laughing in the yard while also looking forward to the futures they were all building.
Even if he knew it was going to happen, he had never been properly prepared for it as one after another they went off to college or to pursue other dreams. It hit him hard, no matter what way he sliced it. But he would also always be there for them no matter what they decided to do with their lives - perhaps a little teary eyed, but always smiling.
When Joey had decided to come back home, Bastian was over the moon. He did his best not to immediately smother her - but she had bought a run down home in a gorgeous area of mountainside, and it just so happened to be right up his alley when it came to repairing such homes...
So here he was, bright and early, with a coffee cup clutched in each hand. He extended one in his daughter's direction with a smile pulling on his features. "Buenos días, mi chiquita. What have we planned for today?"
ever since a child and she came into the care of bastian and santiago, joey was allowed to explore just about whatever she wanted ( within reason, of course ). it wasn't a surprise when she tagged along to her father's odd jobs, that she became enamored with whatever he was working on. a busy child with nothing to do either becomes trouble, or involves themselves into things they shouldn't. the former comes to her later, when she has more friends who aren't exactly in the best line of life ---- but joey still carried the passion she held with bastian over the project they did when she was a child, and that is how she found herself in the house she has today.
the plan ... well. there was no plan, really. she had little idea about the proper way to fix this place up, but doing it room by room doesn't seem to be too bad of an idea. she's just about to text when he appears, hand extending to take the coffee. "thank you," a small smile appears on her features as she ponders. "i was thinking about painting. or maybe saving that for last? not sure -- maybe tearing out that gross living room carpet would be better."
JOEY: ohhhhhhhhh that would make sense wait
JOEY: i mean??? it is but only if you're like, drunk
JOEY: went to one once where they had like, cake and stuff to dip in it
JOEY: doing some serious planning or just thinking?
Audrey had been working all night on her new vegan recipe, tasting it for herself she thought it tasted like heaven but then again she loved anything she baked because that was just who she was. As she pulled the cookies out of the oven, she put them on a sample plate and walked out to the front where she saw someone passing by the door. Audrey quickly grabbed the plot and unlocked the door running outside to flag the person down.
"Hey!" she called with a smile "I probably look like a crazy person right now." the blonde said as she wiped some coconut flour from her cheek.
"Would you try this for me, please? I'm trying to make more vegan options for my cookies and I just want to know if this is good."
she was here to pick something up for her little brother. despite an all around broodish nature, joey still adored the kid --- wanted to make it clear she was here for him, outside of being a possible bad influence. their fathers would kill her if she was doing that all day, 24 / 7. there was a small shop down the block -- dropping off a package, she headed off. it was only the yell of the blonde when she stopped in her tracks and turned around.
an eyebrow quirks at the others appearance. "depends on what you did to it." not that she doesn't like ( some ) vegan options, it's more so just fun to fuck with people until it bites her in the ass. "how would i know you're not going to poison me? people in this town probably have sick fucks lurkin' everywhere."
Grey couldn't believe what he just heard. He heard about people who are sketching like that for.. no particular reason at all. Trying not to be annoyed by this woman's words, he just smiled at her. Thankfully, buying smart car wasn't a bad idea after all.
"Oh well. Unfortunately for whoever tries to steal my car or insurance thing you've mentioned, they'll be disappointed. I have a smart car and I can track it on the phone. Unfortunately, I didn't install unlocking it in that way. Plus, the alarm would surely go off the minute somebody else put their foot into it."
this was funny. as much of an asshole she tried to be, either this guy was having a great poker - face day or just didn't care. both options kept her interested enough. "so you got a tracking device..... but not an unlocking thing? man, i gotta pick your brain for that." cause what? seems a bit unpractical, but not like she can make him go back in time.
maybe joey is thinking too much about it. but still. she has a shitty car that broke down three times on her return from florida. maybe she needs to figure out what this guy is doing to get a car like that. "you got like a super car or something? they know your feet? that's some multi - millionaire type shit." she's just giving him shit .. mostly. "you got them on a keychain or anythin'? that might make 'em easier to spot. lucky f'you, i got eagle eyes." aka really good contacts.

"Mmkay," Leo hummed under his breath, eyes narrowed theatrically at the deck of tarot cards he'd stolen from a con man hours ago that'd been robbing people blind. If someone was going to scam a crowd too inebriated to know anything better, it was going to be Leo. "The cards are saying you're... going to go through a change. And it'll be good. And you'll be happy. Or sad! Depends on the change. Very intuitive, right? And that -," Eyes widening, he pressed a hand to his chest as if scandalized, "You want to buy me a shot! Baby bird it into my mouth? Pervert - ugh, fine, do it. Before I change my mind. I'm going through a celibate phase, y'know. Way to break my streak."
she doesn't trust leo as fuck as she can throw them. despite his ginger hair and oddly deer - ish nature, he doesn't strike her as someone who can scam people successfully. he feels like an open book, loud mouth and all. maybe that's why she likes messing with him so much. "a change? sounds like one'a those books about puberty." nose scrunches, face souring at the memory. middle school health class was brutal. expression deadpans as soon as she hears the word shot, green eyes rolling. typical leo. "i'm not doing anything to your mouth --- you probably pick your nose and eat it, man. shits nasty." in jest. mostly. "what, run out of people to bang? this place isn't that small. i'm sure you could hit up tinder if you're really that desperate. or give one of those seattle nightclub phone ladies a call. their numbers all over them shady billboards if you go to the boonies."

Grey was absolutely furious. Not only he couldn't find his car's keys, he was also very but very hangover from the last night. He shouldn't drink that much, he was always quite civilized when it comes to drink. Now it seems like he just couldn't help himself.
He found himself in the middle of live music, wondering streets of Downtown, until he came to the restaurant, where he dropped his keys this morning. Well, hopefully. Only today he didn't have another key from car, as he was usually caring it around.
"Um, hi. I don't won't to bother you, but is there any chance you found car keys? I happen to lose mine."
the guy is just not having a good day, it seems. hm. adjusts her sweatshirt, looking out into the crowds gathered as she ponders what to say next. truthfully, she could have snatched keys if she wanted. not a pickpocket by nature, but it can't be that hard. try everything once and all that. "better hope no one stole your car in that case ---- read somethin' once where it was stolen and set on fire for insurance claims." shrugs and takes a sip of her drink, lifting up on her heels. this guy did not look too good. yes, ever the menace, joey tries to find a way to be most annoying person alive. "not to sound like a total fuckin sketch ball ----- what's your insurance policy on it? asking for a friend." yes, definitely do not sound sketch at all.
TEEN PREGNANCY / joey's story starts with her mother: raised by a single mom in the heart of vegas, her father nowhere to be found. sin city took a toll on joey's mother, isabela, and she became pregnant with joey very quickly as a teenager with a boy in her class.
RUNNING AWAY / instead of telling her mother, isabela and joey's father ran away ... within vegas and it's surrounding areas. it was easy to get lost within the lights and the tourists that packed the streets on a summer day. joey's dad found a slew of jobs that was enough to purchase a run down van, and they would park it behind his workplace.
ABANDONMENT / they lasted for a few months. isabela was 6 months pregnant, and joey's father promised to return to the small van they had been living in but never did. isabela was 18 and alone with nothing but herself. during this time, isabela decided to move north. she hitchhiked and caught rides with drivers from nevada to washington, settling in seattle and attempting to make a life for her now - smaller family.
josephine was born in the early hours of april 29th, surrounded by only her mother and the nurses. it was only hours later that joey would be placed into foster care. it would be best for the both of them.
ADOPTION / immediately was sent to live with a family from near - birth until she was 6. it was only foster care, never an actual adoption, and unfortunately the couple who were raising joey broke up --- them choosing to relinquish her back into care.
this is how she landed in her fathers ( bastian and his husband's ) care. call her cliche, but she considers this one of the best moments of her life and will happily encourage adoption, no matter how hard people think it is or the misconceptions.
childhood stuff ....
always the active child. always doing stuff, probably the one bouncing off the walls every day all day. did all the extra curriculars. tried out for sports, dance recitals, etc.
was a Soccer Superstar from ages 8 to 17, where she played goalie and offense.
diagnosed with adhd when she was around 12, and has been taking medication for it ever since. though she tries not to classify herself as a "stereotype", mostly because she hates that feeling of being put in a box.
used to follow bastian around and "help" on his odd jobs, despite not actually helping. grew up to be semi - handy with tools and all sorts of things.
bye fairford ....
she loves her family, but joey is definitely someone who does not settle down. she wanted to spread her wings so to speak, so she went to eckered college in florida on a soccer scholarship, right on the seaside to study archology, mostly because she thought it was funny and that she thought digging up dinosaurs was cool. fulfilling a kid pipe dream and all that, y'know?
her freshman year, one of her roommates + said roommates boyfriend were in a band, that needed a drummer. joey didn't know how to drum. she thought it would be easy. so she said she could do it.
particualry awful the first few tries, she found her way after practice. and the band was born.
they were actually semi - decent, despite the rocky start. they grew in the florida scene and joey thought they were going to make it big. they were selling out small venues, word gets around, they had a spotify and soundcloud. big stuff.
after they graduated, she was left with few options because the band ... dismantled and joey didn't really have any reason to stay in florida. she stayed for about two years before deciding she needed to come back home. it was different without her friends being able to do what they used to. it was all fun and games.. now it's over.
everyone grew up -- a few of the band members were engaged, others were too busy with their actual careers, child and more to carry on with the band. joey's just the drummer. she can't run the whole show by herself.
hiii ....
has returned to fairford after around 7 years to live full time, not counting vacations / family visits during holidays.
lives in a run down fixer upper in mountainside she got for cheap, and is slowly working on fixing it up as she has the time and energy. it's good stress relief and frankly she's kinda good at it. has an eye for design and all that. she loves sims.
is a bartender a few nights a week at the daring daqiuri. she's not a huge people person so it isn't her favorite thing in the world, but she's funny and charming in a fucked up way so people kind of like her, she hopes.
has a bit of resentment to her friends and it shows. the band is definitely tainted, bitter and angry about it. she thought they were in this together. the big leagues. but they all decided to .. quiet. she doesn't think she could ever forgive them for it, despite that being a bit... not rational.
other stuff
has never met her mother and doesn't have anything of hers. has vague memories of her previous foster parents before her dads, some photos and mementos but that's about it. she's curious but also terrified as to what she might find. it's not out of the question, but she's not going to chase a dream she wants crushed.
had a bit of a wild child streak in her teenage years. definitely did things she wouldn't supposed to ...... and dealt with the consequences.
she's sexually fluid and has been with anyone who she's found attractive. it doesn't matter to her -- she cares more about the connection than anything else.
kind of guarded and jaded, but if she loves you, she fucking looooves you. puppy dog kind of love.
