Time in town: from the ages of 11-18, returning after 4 years (mostly) away

this bio contains mentions of childhood illness (specifically kidney disease) as well as toxic relationships, please be warned if you find these topics triggering
main info.
the birth of macaulay marked the montgomery family unit as "complete" with her mother finally getting the girl she had always hoped for macaulay brought a wild streak of brightness into her family, bringing her own brand of chaos from the moment she could walk and always wanting to be just as unbridled as her oldest brother
when she started slowing down around the age of six it didn't take long for the family to take notice or for the doctors to figure out what was wrong -- after a series of tests it was determined that macaulay was suffering from chronic kidney disease
after various treatments and medications having no success, and with no viable matches within her family macaulay was placed on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. the wait took over two years, with macaulay spending constant time in hospitals, until she got her "new" kidney at nine years old.
she was eleven when she family moved to aurora bay, and it was the first time she'd ever gone to real school. while she excelled at the social aspects of her education, focusing on academics was always a challenge to her -- which frustrated many teachers who always insisted that she was "bright"
not wanting to dwindle her life away in any more classrooms, macaulay took off out of town quickly after highschool graduation. she first spent time selling magazines across the country, then becoming a roadie for submergence's last tour then backpacking and hostel surfing in europe, before moving on the the eagles of death metal's tour when submergence went on hiatus
after a recent relationship took a scary turn that had her boarding the first plane out of amsterdam, macaulay decided that it was time to come home and be closer to familiar faces until she decides on her next move

😘 = Does your muse like to flirt? Do they like to be flirted with?
"God, I love flirting. And I'm amazing at flirting to the point that I don't even realize that I'm doing it. I've had exes get pissed about that but it's literally not intentional -- I just like talking to people. But flirting with my boyfriend is the best because he gets all blushy and bashful, which just makes me wanna flirt with him harder. It's a delightful cycle." @luckylewis
You hold my hand through turbulence
You sugarcoat the oxygen
My lungs are full, I'm sick again
I feel you coming on
You never simply talk to me
You tell the truth about everything
Of all of your afflictions
That is my favorite one
"It was good, everything went to plan. She had a great time."
He leaves out the part where Theo had been asking for her and where he hadn't been able to answer for where she was. Lucky had opted for a lie, something he hated doing especially when it was his daughter he was lying to but he didn't want to dampen her day with what had been an unknown at the time.
Deep down, he knew there was a reason for her non-attendance, he could sense it. It felt like more than just the usual anxieties that plagued him.
Mac explains and he listens, his grip on her hand not faltering as he tries to take in what she was saying as well as just hearing her. Almost passed out? Tests? Something familiar?
Being able to recognise the feeling didn't bode well, not for someone who had once been as sick as Mac had but she didn't need him to tell her that so he doesn't.
"It'll be okay, you're in the right place at least."
He dips his head and places a kiss to her wrist, his heart breaking a little at the sight of a cannula attached to her.
"Have they gotten any results back or is it just a waiting game?"
Mac's smiling at the confirmation, a wide grin even if her eyes were threatening tears.
The four of them had spent so much time planning the party, Mac specifically wanting to make sure that it was the talk of the children in the town for weeks to come. She was glad to hear that nothing had ruined it -- not even her unintentional absence.
She lets out a breath as Lucky kisses her wrist, using the other to quickly wipe at a tear that had started to roll down her cheek.
"I'm just waiting, but if nothing was wrong they would have come in here and told me by now," she tells him in a voice that's threatening to wobble, taking another deep breath when she looks at him and tries to keep herself from getting too tearful.
"I'm sorry I didn't call you," she tells him, sincerity a weight in every word.
"I didn't want to scare you if nothing was wrong."
Alfie: I don't have that kind of home field advantage 😅
Alfie: He definitely likes nature and the ocean
Alfie: Maybe dinosaurs but I always assume kids like dinosaurs
Mac: Nature is good! We can work with nature!
Mac: All kids like dinosaurs so your instincts are correct
Mac: The key is to open with a present
Mac: Doesn't have to be anything huge. Hell, it could be a sticker.
Mac: All kids also love stickers.

“ I love everything post Fourth of July, because it’s the whole unofficial start to spooky season. “ though Kali was that person who was spooky all year. She just liked never having to explain why she was like this to other people. “ what’s your favorite thing to do that’s Halloween related? Or really what’s the first thing you do? Is it costume planning or thinking about decorating or watching scary movies? Or do you wait till it’s actually fall?” It was easy to tell Kali was just very excited to talk about Halloween early, since it formed so much of who she was
"Personally, I have a costume contest title to defend, so I've been keeping a log of costume ideas since February. Have you got any that you're going for? I promise I won't steal any ideas." @screamqueen-slater
starter for: open
where: carnival rides
"I tried to get my friend to go on that with me, but she chickened out," Zoe says, holding up two ride tickets as she motions to the giant drop tower. "What do you say? Feeling brave...?"
@aurorabaystarter
"God, I fucking wish," Mac says mournfully with a scrunched face, looking longingly at the drop tower.
Any other summer, and she would been flirting with the ride operator to let her skip the line as many times as she wanted.
"But my doctor says I'm not allowed to do anything 'too crazy' -- which is a very vague barometer of behavior to be working with when you're me because I don't consider a lot of things I do to be crazy. But I'm guessing being dropped from an exhilarating height is on that 'too crazy' list."
Alfie: My girlfriend wants me to meet her son
Alfie: Which I'm very down to do but I also want it to go well
Alfie: How do you make a good impression on a four year old?
@macaulaymontgomery
Mac: Oh a fantastic question
Mac: I had a huge advantage with Theo because she'd kinda always known me so the transition to being her dad's girlfriend was really natural
Mac: But the good news is that four year olds are incredibly easy to impress
Mac: What's he into?
@alfiearmstrongs
"Oh for sure, I checked with my doctors," Mac assures her as she takes the tiniest sip of her cocktail.
"As long as I'm really careful, I'm fine. I'll just have a couple of swallows and give the rest to my boyfriend. The flavors just sounded so good that I couldn't resist. But god, moderation is a bitch, you know?"
