trigger warnings ; brief mentions of drug use, alchol use, depression, bipolar, bullying/homophobia and manipulation.
alister emerson zachary fox was born in london, england as the second into a family of four that was originally planned to be three until an incident happened. before which he was pretty okay with his family, getting along well with his older brother at first in a hollywood famous family - basically seen as royalty in hollywood mostly due to being a british family making it big in hollywood. as alister grew he avoiding the public, not sure it was the life for him and his parents let him at first up until they had their first daughter. seeing how the effects of it all playing on his family, as he grew stayed with him until he was a teenager. figuring himself out.
during this time is when alister discovered his homosexuality and first shared with his brother, who he trusted. he ended up sharing this with their parents and then it was news - with a twist; it claimed him as bisexual and he was thrust into the public eye despite his wishes just for more fame to the fox name. he was told by his parents they supported him but he couldn't be in public so they pushed the story and then alister was apart of the dynamic of keeping a good family image and always see mostly with woman. this lead to him growing distance from the family and he barely had a connection his own sister.
as soon as he finished school at eighteen, alister briefly fell into drugs and alchol for comfort as he figured out how to get away from it all. he was rarely seen sober and this made headlines for the family they didn't want. so he was immediately banished from the family and throw into hiding. he was briefly in a mental health facility to start before he was sent to stay at a family friend's during damage control. originally the plan was for him to return, but he heard from a family friend about how the family went without him, and about a sister he didn't know he had. this sister ended up transitioning and coming out, and all alister wanted to do was be there for his now brother, guide him and remind him he wasn't alone but he knew that life wasn't good for him. seeing his young brother paraded as he was and that was all it took for him to flee back to new york and focus on himself. he stayed with a friend, cleaned up and went back to school at first thinking to write for a living but what he felt and wanting to help hit home so he wanted to be a therapist. listen and remind people they're not alone.
while finishing his studies in new york and starting his therapist career, before he'd move out to aurora bay, he finally met his little brother. they connected instantly. alister left so connected to his brother and even shared some of what happened to him and how their family banished him and basically erased his existence just for fame and their name. he also learned his own brother was removed from the family as well for similar reasons and neither regretted it as now they could be out and happy. the only thing truly haunting alister was how he was pushed to mostly be seen with woman or as if he was dating them and only the occasional guy using them for fame and money - so the idea of love scared him. otherwise he was recovering well and dropped all contact with everyone despite his young brother, changing his phone and everything. a year later when he was sure his brother was fine, alister moved out to aurora bay.
โ- C U R R E N T L Yย โ-
alister happily works as a therapist and living a good life in aurora bay. he managed to connect with his sister and keeps up with her and even got a handsome sum of money from the family through her that he didn't fully needed, but accepted anyway as it was a gift from a distance member. one not apart of how he grew up. he keeps his past locked away in his mind and feels happier not sharing. plus being older than the young adult he was in the public eye he's pretty sure he won't be fully recognized and even if he is, he brushes it off. his happiness is listening and offering advice to help people. more so with his diagnosed bipolar depression and general anxiety that he uses to help him understand more. so far he's been in aurora bay for three years, going on four in the fall.
โคท Who: OPEN หหห @aurorabaystarter
โ Where: the Aurora Bay Farmer's Market, Pumpkin Patch
โ When: Sunday Afternoon
"I need some expertise. Or just an opinion, really." He turned, holding two pumpkins in each arm, one a tiger stripe and the other a khaki โ two odd, but rather neat-looking pumpkins, "... Which one should I go with?" He smiled, "It's for a modest household of one looking to spruce up their balcony."
โโ- โ Expertise opinion from me ? i'll certainly do my best. โ a slight grin crossed his lips as he looked at the two pumpkins the other held before the question was asked. alister made sure to look between the two, really take both in and then there was the added explanation. โ ย ah, well if you're going more modest for the balcony maybe the tiger stripe one ? gives something different from the basic, still minor but also not as see as the khaki one. โ he explained, his reasoning for his opinion as best he could without knowing how the other's home set up was or anything.
"Hey, guess what? We're totally lost in here." What a way to break that to other. Okay, so maybe lost wasn't the perfect way to phrase it. They were safely in a maze put on by a business that kids should be able to find their way through. But Tobias being dramatic for the sake of comedy? Right on target. Even if that comedy was something he was usually the only one to find funny. The dry humor of it all.
Dark eyes glanced at the relatively tall walls around them (which was saying something for his 6'3" self) and followed their shadows that interwove at the ground beneath them. "Might become mole people. But instead of living underground, it's time to be corn maze people. Not at catchy, but I can deal with it."
โโ- Hearing the words tobias uttered caused alister to chuckle some, a slight smirk crossing over his lips as his eyes scanned the area around them. the fall time was one of his favourites. the cooler air, the moment the leaves would change colour โ and that was just the start. the spooky times were still new to him but he enjoyed the films around this time and some horror so he able to enjoy parts of it. he'd never really done any of this before โ however, he was too interested to turn such down. halloween was rather ignored for him growing up so it was nice to be around and enjoy some of the halloween and just fall festivities he didn't get to before.
โ ย lost in one of these. so we'll miss the possible person dressed up staring people ? now that's the true shame here. โ alister spoke with a chuckle before letting out a sigh, it was exaggerated it was something showing he was having fun, letting lose. โ ย seems so. at least we'll get through this โ one way or another, together. โ the tone of his british accented voice still held a comedic tone with an emotion as if he was really trying to accept being stuck in the maze. this was him trying to joke, maybe not the best โ but at least he tried and had a nice time with it.
He took the water gently, giving a small thanks to the other before making sure to take a drink from it. This felt nice and the tense feeling in his shoulders finally went away which he appreciated. "Yeah. It made it so much harder on me. Like I could take it anywhere but that makes it even worse." It had been on his mind for a bit and he had so many drafts made that he hoped the client would pick at least one of them. His eyes instantly widened as he tried to adjust to the dark. He wasn't scared of the dark but something about this made him feel on edge a bit. "Yeah, let's find out. Would make me feel better seeing that it's all just an outage." he looked back at him, swallowing a bit.
โโ- Holding the cold water he got for himself after, grinning some when lucas took the drink he needed. โ ย sounds very stressful, โ was all he managed out do to the dark hitting them before taking a moment to allow himself to adjust to the dark before he moved his free hand to his pants pocket. pulling out his phone, turning the screen on, unlocking it then turning the flashlight on before walking over to the window to look out. โ ย definitely is an outage. i can see a lot of darkness. there's a few places that probably have a generator. i believe i have some candles though i could light so it's not so dark for us. โ alister smiled softly as he looked towards the other for a moment has he walked back over to where they both were originally.
"Is it too early to be thinking about spooky reads?" Emerson asked as she restocked various editions of Frankenstein on the shelf in front of her. "Or if not, do you have any suggestions for books to put up on a Halloween display?"
โโ- โ Not at all. they call september pre-halloween month for a reason, don't they ? โ he said with a soft grin. alister then thought for a moment on some spooky book suggestions. โ ย well, we do know stephen king has a lot of good horror books. so definitely suggest those and coraline is another good one. โ he started sharing as thoughts came to his mind.
Lucas easily took a seat, letting out a sigh that he didn't know he was holding in. It felt nice and it got him away from his work station area he had at home. Plus being around a friend was much better at the end of the day. "Sure, I'd enjoy a water. I had a client today that wanted such an out there tattoo and I don't even know how to start their idea." he spoke. He wasn't upset but he had more work cut out for him. Before he could speak more, he noticed the flicker and confusion instantly took over his face. That was odd but maybe it wasn't gonna be something more. At least he hoped it wouldn't be.
โโ- Walking over to his mini fridge and grabbing a couple waters out, handing one to lucas before sitting across from him in his chair, as he would with clients, mostly just relaxing with a friend. โ ย did they have this like concept idea and like no design to give you anything to work with ? โ so had minds so creative and out there, but without at least a basic concept drawn out or written, alister wasn't sure how one could start something. at that moment the lights cut out and the brit muttered under his breath. โ ย think it's just an outage ? maybe we should find out ? โ he questioned looking up towards the lights then in the direction of where lucas was, the confusion clear in his voice.
Open Event Starter @aurorabaystarter
Where: Outside the Reef
"Free bottled water! Slightly cold." Layla hauls the case of water bottles out from the bar, onto the street, sweating through the heatwave. She'd done her best to chill everything at the bar in coolers or at Kaede's place the night before; all that was left was a large pile of water bottles she'd ordered on her own accord. She knew about the rise in heat ahead of time, but wasn't prepared for everybody to lose power. Layla didn't want any of the heavier drinkers passing out outside The Reef, so she'd originally planned to send people off with them. That being said, she didn't feel bad about pawning them off for free.
โโ- โ Free and slightly cold โ plus sold outside a bar ? sounds like an offer i can't turn down. โ a soft grin rested on his lips, the bar mention being a bit of a joke before he gently took a bottle of water. โ seriously, that's nice of you, thanks. and โ you're giving them outside a bar because ? โ alister wasn't one to assume anything, but maybe she worked there and it was also a mixed way to say both we have water to help and we're closed all in one. something he'd slight admire actually.
closed for: @mralisterfox
location: alister's office at horizons therapy center (just before the black out)
Lucas had gotten closer to Alister especially after their mini golf session so in his mind, that meant and impromptu visit to the other at work. He made sure not to do so when the other didn't have a client so they could chat a bit. He felt he needed to vent a little and get his mind off of the current tattoo he was working on. Once at the other's office, he opened the door and peeked inside.
"Hey! Thought I'd stop by." He mused, giving a smile as he stepped in. His eyes instantly looked around before his gaze landed back on the other male. "Thought I'd talk your ear off if you don't mind." He knows he didn't share much with others so doing so with Alister felt a bit foreign.
โโ- Finishing up with his clinet, having time to kill before there'd be another when lucas came in, and a smile crossed alister's lips immediately upon seeing his new friend. โ ย glad you did and feel free to sit and chill for a bit. got a good amount of time before my next client. โ standing up from his chair to stretch his legs and moving some around his office. โ ย talk away. would you perhaps like a water ? โ he asked as he turned on his heel to face lucas again as a couple flickers of light caught him off guard but for now, he brushed it off as nothing. lights did that sometimes.
Ash: def not need like everyone who has food they dont wanna toss to get on board
Ash: esp if they have grills. i dont im hijacking my neighbors
Ash: sounds like u should just stop by esp if the whole block gives involved n it can kill time
@mralisterfox
"Okay, no I don't live here or even know anyone who does, but if you don't rat me out to security, I'll.....be in your debt? And share my bottle of Jack?"
โโ- โ You have my word as well โ i know someone here, so i'll use that to cover us both. โ he shared with a slight smirk, as well, he was crashing their himself to get out of his place during everything. though said person probably didn't know he was there himself. โ hope you don't mind my company then. โ
open starter! @aurorabaystarter
location: salty siren brewery
"Welcome." Bryan greeted the person with a smile as they stepped through the front door. He happened to be at the table close to the door, restocking some of the cooling items he had on the table. When he power outage happened, he reached out to some acquaintances for the neighboring town to bring things like battery-powered fans, flashlights, batteries, water bottles, portable charges and first aid kits and non-perishable foods. He posted on the business's Instagram to spread the word so locals could go there. "Feel free to take anything you need from these tables. Anything but the beer is free." he chuckled lightly.
โโ- The blackout did naturally hit while alister was working, and he ended up wrapping up that session and allowing them to reschedule for free over charge again. this also lead to him texting any more clients he had that day to not come until next week. that was until he learned how long the blackout would be and had to clear his time until power returned. even if he had a generator at home, having sessions there wasn't ideal.
walking into the brewery and seeing the tables, a soft grin crossed his lips before looking to the man on the other side. โ ย kind of you to offer needs to those who might need such. โ he glanced over the items on display for needed, slipping his hands in his pants pockets. โ ย how's things been for you with what's going on ? โ he asked curiously, knowing he tended to think of others before himself sometimes and thus felt he wanted to be the one checking in and making sure he was alright as well.
"You're given a four-gallon container or jug for your daily intake," Bri explained. "Sure, there are bodies of water, but they are guarded and managed at the federal level. No freebies." It would be a dire situation, and the waters would have to be delivered by military convoys as they had done in the bleakest of places in the world that dealt with crises and famines. "These are all hypotheses, but not far-fetched ideas." It was a reality some experienced in their lifetimes, but never actually worthy enough to hit mainstream media. "I'm gauging perspectives on people's relationships with water for a potential documentary."
โโ- โ Daily four gallons โ i could probably make that last a good amount of time depending. scared of bathrooms however as chances are an outhouse time of method might be best to save. โ he spoke in thought. alister never experienced issues as such due to being pretty well off growing up and independently. he lived quite comfortably, and even had some cash to spare as he didn't like living as expensive as he probably could with how his mother liked to make sure all her kids could afford things on their own. perhaps not thinking what jobs her kids could have or how they'd use their money. โ that makes sense. saving and all, keep from issues. i imagine you'd see some trying to go against them and they'd get some crazy requests for access. i'd just work with what i have and perhaps label the four gallons for living things and find ways to keep managing. such as handwashing replaced with hand sanitizer. โ he spoke, and almost tempted to see if he could limit himself and his water usage, just test and see, but he was sure he'd fail due to just muscle memory to do things like wash his face, brush his teeth and other duties in the loo. sharing why the ask had the brit's interest peaked. โ ย oh, that's very interesting. gotten some good feedback ? i think a lot of us don't realize how much we use it until it's limited as there's a lot of things we do just due to being used to it. โ
Daniela chuckled lightly. "You think I won't? I'll definitely ask -I doubt they'll say no." She added. It wouldn't be the oddest request she ever made at a food establishment. But for some reason, she doubted it would be the first time someone made that request at the diner. "Thank you for meeting me here, by the way. I promise I'll treat you to something nice next time. But I swear whenever I leave work at an odd hour, I just crave the food here. Is that weird?"
โโ- Chuckling slightly himself, a grin resting on alister's lips. โ ย go for it, darling. i'd love to witness it. โ he encouraged. sure most eating establishments wouldn't mind special requests but he never really did any himself, especially growing up as he felt himself or his family around was a lot at the time. โ ย of course, happy to. you don't have to but, i appreciate it and i don't think it's weird at all. i'm sure we all have a thing. โ he spoke as his therapist ways came out almost naturally a bit with what he said last.
He followed the other guy's gaze to the woman. She looked like a wet rat, no more of the bravado that got her in trouble. "You're good? Good job." he called out to her, fighting the urge to laugh at her face. Was he being an ass? Absolutely. But at least he was having fun โharmless funโ even if it was at her expense.
He rolled his eyes. "I'm..slightly horrified you have to ask." he nodded slowly "And worried. Mostly worried for you, bro." Colton said easily. "We're drinking to it..and I'm a huge fan of candy so we're eating a lot of that too." he said pointing to all the stands. This was a damn festival, it had everything!
โโ- As he looked at the woman, completely soaked and thought how it was a bit brave to do such โ he'd never easily be on the end of getting dunked in a dunk tank. whatever her reason, probably felt nice in the hotter weather and she seemed a lot. his gazes was fixed back to the other, a slight grin resting on his lips. โ ย well, most celebrating when i grew up wasn't as big a deal as the family was โ we'll just say different. โ he slightly admitted, not wanting to share too much as he didn't deal with all of it like his younger siblings or twin as much, plus his family wasn't generally too bad. it wasn't a changed wanted, but had to happened โ so the last celebration was his young brother's return from boarding school. โ ย candy and drinks โ sounds good to me. โ he chuckled softly, enjoying time with the other and also being rather impressed by the festival.
