Lina absolutely loved the atmosphere of New York, it was the most at home she’d felt in her entire life. Arriving there had felt like finally finding a perfect fit, something she’d been searching for her entire life. Three years in and she was still starry eyed, it was obvious that Maddie didn’t feel the same way. How they’d wound up at a bar together, Lina didn’t really know, but she was trying to make the best of their time spent together off the clock without completely embarrassing herself. “Do you smoke cigars?” she asked, titling her head to blow smoke in the opposite direction of her boss, “You think everything I do is to manipulate a bigger bonus, when really I just don’t have very expensive taste.” 

Looking over her shoulder as Carolina spoke, Maddie sneered at the dirty brick wall; in a perfect world, she’d be leaning against it, but she was wearing her favourite blazer, which matched perfectly with her favourite pants. But she was tired, her four a.m. rock climbing session at the Breckenridge & Co. basement gym catching up to her now -- she checked her elegant wristwatch -- at eleven p.m. Maddie really was more of a morning person, but it was a Friday, and her life wasn’t entirely about work and fitness. She could also... drink. With her assistant. Texting Carolina thirty minutes ago was admittedly a last ditch effort not to be alone; Rooney was busy studying, the over achieving little asshole, and Andy hadn’t texted her back, maybe getting some beauty sleep. Carolina was dispensable to every other area of Maddie’s life, so why not the social? 

“Give me your jacket,” Maddie said, already shrugging out of her blazer. Now that she was meeting her own needs, she responded to Carolina’s little curiosity. “No. My body is a temple. The only smoking I do is the people kind. Assholes, shitty employees, old men who think they know more than me...” She heaved a sigh, folding the blazer over her arm. She’d give it to Carolina before they left tonight to be dry cleaned. “Well, that’s a flaw to your character. You need to start thinking bigger. Have you ever thought of investing in a Birkin bag?”

“yes, yes i know it’s a nasty habit, i’ll quit tomorrow,” she says, rolling her eyes as she lights her cigarette. she’s standing outside of allied, recovering from yet another late night at the office. most people wouldn’t put up with a boss like hers, but then again most people weren’t carolina rogers. besides, she could always use the extra money… to fund her nicotine addiction, “i tried the whole juul thing. i was into it for a minute, but i heard its worse for you, you know? at least i know what these are doing to my body.”

Maddie was sick to death of the sounds of New York. She mused briefly on the concept of buying out a building just to pack it with soundproof gear so she could at least live in a fantasy world where people shut up for a minute, but quickly dismissed the idea because how would that look? Murder-y. Maddie had to be careful about those kinds of things; she had a reputation to nurture. Unlike her personal assistant, who could do just about anything without anybody caring, ever, as she was now. “The whole juul thing,” Maddie echoed, tone disdainful. “I can’t believe I don’t pay you enough to smoke cigars. If this is your way of manipulating a bigger bonus out of me, it’s working.”

◊ ♫ ◊— look what the cat dragged in! that’s MADDISON BRECKENRIDGE and SHE is an around 29-year-old CASUAL VISITOR to the store, but they’ve been in the neighborhood for 29 YEARS. I think they’re a CEO and I overheard them listening to I GET MONEY by 50 CENT, and, I dunno man, it seemed pretty fitting. Like, call me shallow but I look at them and think of DAKOTA JOHNSON and STABBING SOMEONE IN THE FRONT, A CITY VIEW, and SLEEPING ON A BED OF MONEY. (ooc info: essy, she/her, nzt, 23)

look to ur left. look to ur right. both empty. it’s just us here, me and u. essy and u. now look me in my eyes. it’s time to know maddison. 

nicknames: maddie, ‘son’ to her father who wishes he had a legitimate son haha we love to have fun here at essy hq

sexuality: hey hey, bi bi bi bi

traits: ambitious, calculating, entitled, daring

likes: expensive wine, the outdoors, taking her moods out on others!

dislikes: inefficiency, people who make excuses, not being in control

family: william breckenridge (npc, father), michaela breckenridge (npc, mother), more probably but what does she know

INFO

MADDISON! BRECKENRIDGE! is an only child. and by that i mean the only child her father had with his wife, maddie’s mother. willy brecks is a proud man who very much does not reference the multiple children he’s fathered with other women because frankly, it would be impolite to bring it up. he feel so strongly this way that despite the fact he really kind of envisioned leaving everything to a son, with maddie being the only of his legitimate children, by the time she was eight he started preparing her for a life of Telling People What to Do.

boy is she a quick learner. maddison is an unapologetic nightmare whose only grace is her ability to convince herself she can handle any situation she’s in. let me be clear, this is not a conscious effort: being raised richer than god himself means that it’s maddie’s second nature to assume everything the light touches is hers. 

unsurprisingly? she’s not great at connecting with people on a normal level. most of the connections she made growing up were similarly spoiled brats, or people who were along for the gravy train. not that it mattered to maddie, though. she’s been singularly focused on business and breaking people for as long as she can remember.

so, maddie can’t lie. when her father finally had a stroke at the age of 63, leaving him conceding to an early retirement, she was ecstatic. it’s not like he died, after all, and finally at 26, she would be in control! n*ce.

surprisingly, breckenrige & co’s employees and clientele alike weren’t expecting things to go from bad to worse when maddie took over from her father. perhaps they’d assumed the apple would fall a little farther from the tree? or at least? be the same? tree? but, no. while william breckenridge, who built his business himself, saw the value in treating your talent well, maddie’s outlook is this: it’s a dog eat dog world, and the only people she wants to do business with are the people who have the biggest teeth.

because of this! however! maddie doesn’t have a wealth of friends. never has. which means that she kind of gets attached to people in ways you wouldn’t expect. an excellent example of this is her personal assistant, lina, who she takes joy in torturing but who is also? quite literally? one of her favourite people. she does this with a lot of people. you may not know it, but maddie loves you.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

STEP SIBLINGS: I AM BEGGING U. illegitimate children of william breckenridge put your paws up! maddie, if she knew of her siblings, would be fond of them in a i would kill you if i had to but i’d be sad about it kind of way.

FRIENDS: i don’t know who you have to be to get behind this, but if we can make it work? we can make it work.

EMPLOYEES: there is no limit to  how many businesses are shadow owned by breckenridge & co, but working in the building in particular? will mean you know the nightmare CEO

BUSINESS PARTNERS: now i’m having flashbacks to my business degree

HOOK UP: no strings! 

ANYTHING  ELSE!!!
