so, you may have noticed that i’m super duper active on jinseok but not so much on kasper. the reason for that is ... not because i’ve lost muse for her exactly? but i did lose her motivation ... oops. when i came back to rookies, i did something i probably shouldn’t have done to her brother and that ... completely killed all of kasper’s motivation as a character. her very drive was being able to search for her brother, and without that, she just became .. stubborn and lifeless.
to remedy that, i will be changing things up. you will notice me dropping kasper, but i will be bringing in another muse who has an extremely similar background but with a fresh twist since i did enjoy the background of the muse, it’s just that kasper ... with the changes, couldn’t hold up.
i didn’t get very far in plotting with other people BECAUSE kasper was being such a stubborn ass lmao so hopefully this doesn’t affect too many people. i’ve already talked to maddy about it, and my new muse will still be dating aron since the changes i’m making don’t really affect their relationship at all so. <: without further ado, i am [ again ] dropping kasper - if only to bring in her stunt double instead lol. thank you all for being patient with me, and i hope that the people i was originally plotting with will still be cool with coming up with something with my new muse uvu

➜ um. in your dreams. i already made myself sick typing it out ///:
the girl hums to herself as she walks up and down the streets of hongdae, feeling herself already losing interest at the task at hand within the short amount of time she’s been there. the shops and people tend to be more interesting than bothering people with silly fliers. dayoung’s eyes lead her to a few benches lined up alongside the edge of the street.easy targets, i guess?
“mind if i take a seat really fast? just for a minute.” dayoung speaks politely to a girl occupying one of benches, placing the fliers in her lap as she takes a seat near the edge. “i’ve been walking for awhile now - handing these out.” she gestures down to the sheets in her lap. “hey, you heard of trc entertainment? these fliers have got a lot information that could be useful to hopefuls or just fans in general.”
dayoung offers the other a smile as she extends a hand, a flier between her fingers. “take one?”
@rkdayoung
she’s keeping to herself. in reality, kasper isn’t really even sure why she’s spending time outside amongst the people of the living when there are so man ghosts living in her head she might as well be one. but something in her made her want to get some fresh air today, because she couldn’t breathe in the stuffy confines of her apartment where she’s locked herself prisoner for the past few weeks .. months .. who knows how long. she’s lost count of the days by now.
fingers are tapping through her phone lazily, disinterested in all the games she once downloaded with excitement. there’s no interest in twitter, nothing good on youtube to watch. she just ends up sighing and dropping the phone by her side on the bench she’d somehow found to sit on, an empty bubble in a world full of people milling around it.
the reason she picked this bench is because she would have been alone - keyword: would have, had someone not decided to sit down beside her. she feels dull, lifeless right now - there’s no will to just talk to strangers like she normally would in this situation. instead, she stays mostly quiet, nodding when she takes the flyer from the trainee’s hand. “ yeah, i know it.” it’s not the first flyer she’s gotten from entertainment companies looking to scout new potentials. “ thanks for this -”
➝ i think i have some time to come over today too :D
➝ well texas chicken is kinda the lord of the chickens tho. texas chicken! texas chicken! popeye’s good too.
➝ …and i don’t recall waking up in the tub with the chicken-

⊏ txt * skeleton boy ⊐
➜ is that because you want to come over or because you’re worried about me deleted
➜ as long as you’re not late tomorrow. no sleeping in -
➜ ... are you fighting with me about food. really. /me/. about food.
➜ though i like popeyes i guess i can agree with you there. and jollibee. i guess i just like chicken lmao
➜ both. both is good. i like both. both is an option.
He’s running late, and late was not in his preferred choice of vocabulary. Aron rushed through the crowds, half jogging as he slowed down near the entrance, glancing around. They were supposed to meet earlier just in case, cause the zoo open opens its doors for a mere ten minute time-frame, but Aron just had to finish off the last stanza of his latest draft and he couldn’t let his pen go until he completed it.
So now he’s late. Fishing out his phone to make a call, it’s right at that point where he sees her familiar figure through the crowd, in between the pocket of spaces as people moved into the zoo, signalling the doors being opened. And Kasper shines in her own way, the way that Aron could easily single her out among the dark environment and dim lighting, and it’s then he pulls his mask down a little to shout, getting closer.
“Kas! Hey! Sorry I’m late, was writing something and- yeah. Just in thyme, though.” He rambles when he stops just one feet distance away, eyes wide as he took in deep breathes, hand reaching out for hers to hold as a smile glowed on his face. “Shall we go?”
ten minutes is all they have, and aron is late.
kasper kicks at the ground with a small sigh; her hair falling into her eyes when she tilts her head down to look at the pavement. he’s probably just held up at training, but he was the one adamant about getting out of the house no matter how much she wanted to stay huddled inside. but she swallows the annoyance that’s threatening to create a stone that sits in her throat, because in the end - she knows her boyfriend is just trying to look out for her.
she just wishes it wasn’t under such a strict time constraint. thin fingers tuck her hair back behind her ear as she rolls her foot around the gravel, mind slipping away until she hears a familiar sound bringing her back to her body. her head lifts, and there’s aron - smiling as bright as day, even though the sun has already started to set.
“ well. they do say wizards arrive precisely when they mean to.” the reference she makes brings a wry smile to her lips, if only for a moment. her eyes stare at his hand pointedly and she frowns - he knows better. he should know better. kasper bumps him with her hip as a little reminder, shoving her hands deep into her hoodie pockets and tries to return the smile that he burns suns for. ( it barely matches, but she’s trying. she’d rather hold his hand, but she can’t. ) “ yeah, come on. let’s go.”
like this post if you’d want a charisma starter from kasper <: if you want to help out and comment with a word or phrase for me to base it on, feel free to do so ~
a long sigh. that’s the only sound she makes while waiting at the entrance, a bored glance up at the sky filled with stars she can’t see. people have left her alone for the most part, maybe sensing that she doesn’t want company or just too wrapped up in themselves, one or the other. regardless, kasper’s still waiting for someone - waiting for aron, probably the only person who could get her out of her apartment right now without much difficulty. his puppy eyes have really gotta go.
so she finds herself waiting, for him - for something. she’s not sure what anymore, but she taps at the gravel beneath her feet with a toe in time with a clock that kasper only hears in her head. because at the moment, she feels much like these animals that they’re going to see. up all night, with nothing to look forward to. ( kasper is still desperately making an attempt. if not for herself, then for him. )
➝ ssup cutie :D
➝ waddya mean kfc??? :o
➝ i didn’t get that. i think. i mean i was pretty sure i went for taco bells-
➝ i also did drink a dozen beers ysd didnt i
⊏ txt * skeleton boy ⊐
➜ i dunno. nothing much? chilling at the apartment i guess
➜ you know. kfc. fried chicken of the gods ..............
➜ i’m pretty sure you must have gotten both because otherwise we’re going to have an issue if somebody i don’t know broke into my damn house and left chicken in my bathtub -
➜ .... i mean i didn’t count but yeah smth like that. were you that hungry lmfao
━ hey guys, it me, a nic - park doha enthusiast, giant monbebe, and loona lover forever. i’m back at it again at rk with this girl right here. yes, i am sure you’re asking if i’m crazy and the answer is yes. i decided to give rookies another valiant attempt because i was missing this muse a lot lately, so here i am after maddy was talking to me about the rkzoo event lol.
kasper muse hasn’t changed all that much but to give myself some peace of mind AND to save some confusion, i’m probably going to start her over on relationships besides a few of the key ones [ she’s still dating aron, still bffs with eunae, etc. ] if you would like for us to keep our old connection, just dm me and let me know. c: you can use tumblr ims, or i have a writing twitter that you can add if you prefer that.
now, when i say kas hasn’t changed all that much, she still has gone through some development in her time away from rk so check under the cut for some plotting details. c: this is definitely recommended if you’re new to rk and interested in plotting with kasper since she’s a bit on the odd side uvu keep in mind that there are quite a few triggers under the cut so this is your warning before reading ;;; but if you’d like to plot with kasper, just give this post a like <: this post is queued bc i’ve got work this evening but i’ll get back to you asap.
kasper went through a lot of trauma when she was little because her little brother was kidnapped. there was a lot of self blame in that, and it led her family to fracture. her parents are still together though they might as well not be; her mother is an art curator and travels a lot - hence, kasper’s fluency in three languages, since she took kas with her everywhere. then there’s her dad, who she’s closer to and enjoys spending time with more who taught her a lot about computers.
likes video games. a lot. she’s practically addicted to the internet and games, but you didn’t hear it from me.
she spends some time online under an alias and tries to catch online predators. that’s a thing. think chris hansen and his team rip. she knows this is dangerous [ not to mention potentially illegal ] but she also doesn’t care / is tired of people getting hurt.
extremely talented in hapkido. a 5th dan black belt, which is the highest skill level for her age range. mostly started the courses as a means for self defense at her mother’s request, but actually grew to enjoy it and is now probably quite lethal.
has an issue with lasting relationships. she’s got a lot of self doubt, self blame, and guilt issues - plus a fear of commitment, so it’s hard for her. she usually allows her friendships to die out, and puts an end to romantic relationships rather quickly. she would rather see them end herself while they’re considered “ good” rather than losing them and be left with a bad taste in her mouth.
aron is a huge exception. she’s allowed a lot more of her walls to come down with him because she’s only viewed the relationship as temporary anyway, considering he’ll probably be debuting soon.
wears masks. a lot. like, expression masks, not actual masks. she’s really hyper, happy, peppy on the outside but it’s mostly a ruse so people don’t poke into things that they shouldn’t. not a lot of people really know anything about her. people don’t really even know what her full name is, but they don’t realize because at the time, it /seems/ like they’re good friends. it’s only later that they realize she’s practically a ghost.
she found out recently that her brother actually died not long after being kidnapped ... not through the normal means [ her parents ] but through the news. it was a huge blow and she pulled away from everyone because of it, including aron.
currently has a lot of issues that she’s struggling with, but her mask is breaking. one minute she’s seemingly put together but the next minute she’s detached and disassociating.
doesn’t sleep unless aron is around. barely eats. her bf is helping her a lot rn, but he can only do so much - especially because he can’t be with her all the time. ): she’s struggling, pls help her.
whether it was her imagination playing tricks or not, kas was always radiant to the teenager’s eyes, shining brightly like the prettiest flower. she was much more than the big sister she always missed. she was yoojung’s hero, her inspiration. and probably one of the main reasons she had to stay alive, keep fighting. she brought comfort and reassurance when yoojung needed them most, lend an understanding ear for the younger to spill out everything she once buried deep in her heart.
she smiled at kas’ words, sitting down on the blanket with her. “ thank you for coming!” the older female was right. the streets were packed with both families and lovers, echoes of cheerful conversations so entangled it made it difficult for yoojung to concentrate on what her friend was saying. her brain was over stimulated by everything going on around her. maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all. this many people at once… was it too much too fast? she probably thought she could take on more than she was ready for. still, kas’ presence was her anchor. something to focus all of her energy on.
eyes glued to the female, a shy laugh escaped yoojung’s mouth. “not long, i swear! i wanted to do something nice for you.” it felt as if kas never stopped being there for her, giving her not only advice but also hours of her precious time that she dedicated to helping the younger vent out her feelings. but what did yoojung ever do for her? this thought terrified her. “are you hungry? i tried to pack a lot of different things because i wasn’t sure what you’d like to eat the most.”
kasper would be caught in a dead lie if she said that she didn’t know what she meant to yoojung. and though the fact that kasper is constantly pushing people aside and forcing herself to forget is what made her so hesitant, it seems fate would have them tied together in ways that even the older girl can no longer deny. it’s a hard situation, a constant battle with herself to make sure she doesn’t hurt the younger girl - more than anyone else in the world, she’s the last person she would want to lose.
it’s awful that even kasper realizes she’s replacing someone else with her, but she just can’t stop.
still though, she does her best to be everything that yoojung needs in an effort to make up for the awful situation she puts the younger girl in - after all, she’s dealt with enough, she doesn’t need to struggle under kasper’s weight. it just so happens that they need much the same thing; a companion, comfort, a sister -like attachment. even though kasper is sure by now that she’s the worst, she’s trying.
regardless though, her eyes scan the crowd carefully before sitting down, a thin smile on her lips upon hearing yoojung’s gratitude. “ did you think i’d stand you up?” she teases, reaching out to ruffle the younger girl’s hair. “ i promised you i’d come, so here i am. now you’re not allowed to pay attention to anyone else.” the end of her speech was pointed, knowing full well that yoojung’s attention is wandering and she’s becoming worried, and that’s something that kasper doesn’t want to see happen. “ my hair is almost the same colour as cherry blossoms anyway.”
her lips upturn into a smile, glad that she hadn’t made yoojung wait because who knows what could have happened while she was sitting all alone. “ starving.” she mutters, peering at the picnic basket. “ trust me, i’ll eat anything. aron still wonders how i can eat more than him.”
{ /he’s hugging his arms as they sat side by side, waiting quietly as the other performers have their turn. He couldn’t concentrate, not with Kas being so close to him right now and all his mind were thoughts of holding her hand or leaning against her back; some form of contact to say the least. Trying to adjust to keeping a distance after the week in LA was tough, and it took a lot just to keep his eyes staring (blankly) ahead until he jerked at the poke that broke his reverie.’ } Huh? Oh yeah, of course. { /she’s asking the obvious, a sort of distraction that Aron found himself welcoming.’ } I should set it up too… { /he got to work unzipping his guitar bag and rotating his position, sitting slanted and facing Kasper at an angle with a small grin.’ } Okay. Shall we? { /he tapped the guitar body lightly four times, and then started the intro.’ } It came to me like coincidence, I see the spring scent~
⊏ she looks at him a little strangely after the way he spaces out - it’s clear that his head isn’t in this just as hers is elsewhere, too. perhaps they left pieces of themselves behind in los angeles when they left, or maybe they just brought too much of l.a. back with them. either way, they both needed to snap out of their desires and their wishes; the only way kasper can think of is a distraction. ⊐ good. i like hearing you play, anyway. ⊏ she stretches out her legs and feels the grass scratch against her legs while he pulls out his guitar and tunes it enough to match the sound of the song - all the while pretending that she’s not watching him out of the corner of her eye. ⊐ yeah, definitely. ⊏ listening to him sing his verse, kasper bobs her head in time with the strum of his guitar. aron has a voice that she loves to listen to. it’s something that she learned around christmas time, and it’s only become more and more true ever since. but as his verse passes and it’s her turn to start the rap, kasper sits up a little more instead of leaning back against the grass. ⊐ ♬ suddenly winter passed and now it’s spring - i’m still like a stone in front of you
