CHARACTER HISTORY

Growing up Kaia came from a family that was always comfortable. No super extravagant mansions, but a large house with not a lot of want for anything.

She was a little lazy in school, doodling in notebooks and batting her eyelashes for the notes she missed later.

She started pulling off small cons out of boredom, doing them for the sole fact of wanting to see if she could pull them off. She would use her skill of art to make counterfeit art, selling blank cds and passing them off as dvds, you name it, and that was just the beginning.

Kaia liked having her own source of income and got off on the thrill of possibly being caught.

She loved to travel and a trip to New York landed her in the sights of The Crimsons. A pulled off scam, though once it was realized they sought her out, giving her a new home and opportunity which granted her place to extend her stay.

She’s been in New York for three years now, occupying the time she doesn’t spend fooling someone with on again off again romances and flings with no strings. Back in her teenage years she got fucked over pretty badly, getting stuck in a toxic relationship and she hasn’t allowed herself to be sucked into anything that serious since.

Her love of art has stuck with her and her passion landed her the ownership of Crossing Fine Lines tattoo parlor, allowing herself to create her own works of art rather than copy what’s already out in the world.

"Like what?" Dylan queries, unaware his face has morphed into anything outside his regular default perfunctory expression. "And yet, you haven't and I don't think you will. You like me too much." He nudges her in the ribs with his elbow with a grin. "But seriously, you think that guy Jackson is my fuckin' cousin or somethin'? It's like lookin' in a slightly uglier mirror." The resemblance is so uncanny that Dylan has found himself questioning his parents' possible illicit affairs that could have produced this lookalike. To both wind up here in New York on a coincidence would be a story he'd never get tired of telling. "Is water wet? Course I wanna get a fuckin' drink. Lead the way."

"You know exactly what you're doing." She told him with a shake of her head. "You're giving me your up to no good eyes." She continued before narrowing her eyes as she looked at him. “You sure about that? I don’t think there’s any proof to support that statement.” Kaia’s head shook a lot in his presence, often finding herself amused by whatever words left his mouth. “Are you saying this because he was my date to the carnival? That’s adorable Dylan.” She teased softly. “I guess I do see some similarities, don’t think i’d call you related though.” There was always a rare chance all of it could have been true, but certainly that was too much of a coincidence. “You don’t know how glad I am to hear you say that, I could use one — or two.” Kaia said as she began leading the way to the nearest neutral bar in town.

"I didn't think I'd see you here tonight." Kaia said, walking over since she spotted him on the other side of the bar. She offered him a smile before taking residence on the stool to his right, though it was hard to not notice that his mood seemed off. "Did they make your drink wrong or something? You think a few round of shots could take your mind off the mistake?" She questioned, though it could of been nothing — still she had to offer.

LOCATION: the alibi, late night. FOR: open! ( 0/3 )

ELIAS IS WELL AWARE that there will be hell to pay in the aftermath of valentine's day. with miray and lorenzo's secrets being uncovered -- he was well aware that neither needed protection, but he was certainly keeping his ear on the ground. he and freddie now had to be even more careful than they already were. perhaps it good for the crimsons that he works in a rather public setting -- he hears and sees everything. and while most would know this, some of the richest in the city pay little attention. what certainly makes it easier is that the bar is desolate, leaving no need for him to strain to hear every word. he can't help but notice someone alone on his coworker's side of the bar, and that his coworker has vacated. likely to eat. thus, he finds himself making his way over with a gentle smile on his face. their glass is empty. " need a refill? " he questions, crossing his arms over his chest. " or are we wrapping up for the night? "

[kaiapierce]

With secrets being revealed within her safe haven the crimsons were dealing with a lot post carnival. She couldn't help but think over her own secret reveal with the release of all these new ones, knowing exactly how Miray and Lorenzo were probably feeling with the news — it wasn't a good one. Seeing a friendly face was exactly what she needed while they all dealt with the aftermath, one that came with alcoholic beverages as well. She figured she sat on the wrong side of the bar when Elias didn't come over, but it was the only seat available at her time of arrival. The brunette hadn't realized her bartender had taken off until she heard the sound of his voice come closer. "A refill would be great, are you able to have one with me? Customer's request."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She questioned, her head turning towards him. Honestly, his expression was a little refreshing, a nice sight to see after the chaos of the carnival. "I hope you know I was serious when I mentioned hitting you." Though Kaia was serious she couldn't help but laugh, which was something she couldn't actually thank him for. "Do you want to get a drink or not?"

“Hey, do you want to grab a drink?” She questioned as she finished rinsing off the brushes she’d been using for face painting. Her shift wasn’t too bad, honestly it was a nice break to focus on art during an event that brought everyone together. “I’ve yet to really explore anything this carnival has to offer, have you found anything fun?”

Kaia was grateful to be at a booth that’d allow her to showcase her talent, even if her canvas space was decreased. She didn't know what kind of things she'd be instructed to paint, but hopefully with the amount of children present that meant the requests would be appropriate. For now she was busy drawing an arrangement of space themed things along her arm, it was the least she could do while their line had a brief break. “You drew anything fun over there? I forget just how popular spider-man is until I’m replicating his mask over and over.”

The little diamond ring in his pocket was getting heavier by the second as he clearly couldn't shake the person still pursuing him for it. Perhaps he should've thought twice about stealing it, given that with the outfit he was wearing he was sticking out of the crowd way too easily, but it was right there, and it was shiny, and so totally more expensive than ten times his rent money. He hopped over a booth, breathless, more than grateful to see the familiar face of Kaia as he dropped his sunglasses to the side, pressed his back against the wall and pulled her closer by the hand. "You're my girlfriend for the next twenty minutes, play along, or I'm draggin' ya down with me."

[kaiapierce]

Kaia barely had time to wrap her head around the situation in front of her, the sight of Camilo and his plan interrupting her mission for a candy apple as he tugged on her hand. She was no stranger to a good con, the two of them usually went back and forth battling for dominance on who'd done the job better, but this was different. The guilt was written across her face, but she had the advantage to reading him from sharing the same profession. "Seriously?" She whispered, though she allowed him to pull her closer. Whatever stunt he was in the middle of didn't matter as long as her name had no part of it — that's all that mattered. She wrapped her arms around his neck and softly kissed his lips.

"Well then let me distract you." He said with a soft smile, "And I promise, no PDA here." He teased her lightly. "I can go over there and suggest that if you'd like? I got no shame in it." And he would, he'd have no problem going over and telling them to get lost. "No... not really. I went to grab a drink and suddenly everyone disappeared. I couldn't find you either and then I saw that god awful fire in the mazes." He let out an exhale and painted a concerned expression on his face. "I didn't find out about Jay until a day or two after halloween. He was really out of I, I guess." He knew how to play the part well. "Well at least now its overwith. Now we can get into the new year."

[kaiapierce]

"I like the sound of that." She said returning the smile back to him. "Please keep all kisses out of the path to the bar." Kaia said with a laugh before shaking her head. "You don't need to do that, as long as I can get myself a drink I'll be able to ignore them." She could of sworn she saw his face that night, running onto the platform as she helped Jason exit that awful train of death. Did he not want her to know he was there or was he simply blocking out that traumatic night altogether? "The fire looked awful, there was so much pain everywhere that night but I was glad to pull Jason out of there — even if he did bleed all over my dress." Her tone changed as the last words left her mouth, hoping to shift the mood to a more playful one as she joked. "I'm hoping the new year has better things in store, that's all we can do for now is hope, right?"

"So about that deposit..." Dylan starts slowly, hoping that somewhere in the silence Kaia will come to the conclusion that Dylan is just so charming and wonderful that she'll waive the fee for him. A few more beats pass before he sighs sharply to break the silence. "Okay fine, so I don't have it. But can you tattoo me anyway? I'll owe you."

[kaiapierce]

"How many times have we gone over this?" She questioned, her tongue clicking against the roof of her mouth. "That charm of yours can only work so many times before your luck runs out, it's like you have Aladdin's lamp." Kaia continued with a laugh. "Since you already booked your appointment and wasted my time, I'll think about it." The brunette looked over at him. "What's the design you're looking for and what are you offering?"
