halloween started out rather tame, definitely on a family friendly level watching horror movies in the courtyard. blake knew it would venture beyond that, it had too. she was looking and feeling way too damn good to waste the night. so she had a few drinks here and there.
( okay maybe more than a few )
the woman steps outside for the fresh air - away from all the sweaty bodies and stench of alcohol to catch a breath. while the night was definitely living up to her expectations, she just needed a break - mostly from the heels that were absolutely fucking killing her.
blake stumbles a bit, heels dragging against the concrete and arms flailing to grab ahold of something. if she fell right now, she knew damn well it would be awhile before she’d be able to get up. and as drunk as she was, the woman much preferred sleeping in her bed to the cold concrete.
her hand falls on someone’s shoulder, and normally she’d have the decency to apologize. but she’s tired and these shoes hurt. so instead she just chucks her shoes off, sending them flying a little further than she originally intended.
oops?
“don’t mind me!” she announces, rather loudly considering whoever she’s grabbed onto is standing right next to her. “oh god, that feels so much better. those things are awful! they do make my legs look pretty great though, don’t ya think?” ━━ ・゚ @msukevin 、
she can’t help it. she brings her solo cup to her lips, leaving crimson stains in their wake, and takes a gulp of whatever poor taste alcohol she had poured herself. her face sours and a shiver runs down her spine. this was no fun.
of course not the drinking part, that was certainly enough to keep her moderately entertained. but where was the party? no one was doing stupid shit blake could join in on and she was dying to get something started. where was the fun in being drunk, alone, and bored? especially on halloween.
dark eyes scan the hoard of bodies, searching for a familiar face, something anything to keep her entertained. and there she awaits.
her pink wig makes her stick out like a sore thumb, but there was no denying how blake loved the look on her. it was oddly fitting. she approaches with mostly pure intentions, looking forward to the challenge that was riling up cho hana for a wild night.
now, this was entertaining.
“trick or treat~” she sings with a grin, arriving at the woman’s side promptly and treating her with a wink. not even giving hana time to conjure up a response, blake is already shoving her own drink into her hand. “yay, okay - here’s your treat. drink up, it’s strong but the burn only lasts for like a few seconds.” ━━ ・゚ @msuhana 、
despite all of her stress and tiredness, she smiles at blake. “ah, maybe that would be a better reason than why i’m actually here,” stephanie replies tiredly, pulling the other into a much needed hug. it was like a small mini-release for her. being with blake was working wonders already.
she pulls away from the hug, nodding back at the building behind the other. “are you off for the night? i have some shit to tell you.” and it probably wasn’t best said if blake was still on the clock. “let’s head somewhere so i can tell you.”
the night air is sweet relief from the hell that raged inside. finally, she feels as if she can breathe. hearing the door slam shut behind the pair, blake welcomes the breeze with open arms. and apparently, stephanie too.
she smiles at the embrace. if this were anyone else, she’d pull away. it was too much; she was still warm from the heat that followed her from inside the building. it was making her irritable and it was why too damn hot for a hug. but yet, she melts into stephanie’s arms without a second thought. the older woman always had that affect on her, and visits like this were rare. apparently, it was her lucky night.
“i wish.” she sighs, pulling back from the hug but making it a point to keep her arms around the other. blake was definitely one to enjoy affection, and she wasn’t going to let the heat sour her mood anymore. “but i am on break. it’s slow tonight so they won’t miss me. how does an hour sound?”
tilting her head in question, she offers the other an apologetic smile. judging my her words and tired demeanor, blake can tell something’s bothering the other woman. she curses herself for having this stupid job when there are clearly more important issues at hand. “and then if we don’t cover everything or i need to fuck someone up, we can figure it out later?” she squeezes the other’s waist and nods to a building across the street. “what about that café over there? they have the best coffee, i swear.”
“blake, are my eyes deceiving me, or is this apple trying to tell me my soulmate is a skeleton? that’s a skull, right? oh no! do you think they’re dead?” bitna gasps before taking another loud bite of her apple. “well, that’s tragic.”
it wasn’t too deep into the night, and she was already feeling quite good.
after kissing those family-friendly shenanigans with natsuki and astrid goodbye, blake was ready to dive into the halloween spirit full force. this of course meant booze and mingling with anyone who’d so much spare her a glace, and looking damn fine while she was doing it.
she really didn’t care who she was talking to, just cared enough that he brought her a drink ( which she watched him pour, of course ) and had pretty eyes. yeah, he didn’t really know how to hold a conversation but if he kept the liquor coming, she’d hang by his side all night if she had to.
blake let him drag her over to the magical apple bobbing, whatever that meant. he seemed pretty excited, and she tried to match his enthusiasm when he explained the ordeal to her - just because she couldn’t bare to hurt his feelings. if you unpeel the apple and throw the peel back into the water, it’s supposed to show the first letter of your soulmates name. it did sound promising and the woman was certainly curious, but any sort of romance was a no-go for her right now. she’d rather just stay away.
however, he was hell bent so here she was. unfortunately.
luckily, she was pulled away at just the right moment. blake just blinked back at the woman, trying to process whatever she had said to the best of her ability. she blinked. “a skull?” she squints down at the basin. your guess is as good as mine. “maybe it’s just trying to tell you that romance is dead... or your soulmate is dead. yeah, probably that one. sorry, but does that mean you’re looking for a new one?”
just a few more minutes... her lower lip aches from the hold her teeth have on the flesh, blossoming into a bright red tint to match the warm color on her cheeks. as much as she’d like to think her makeup had lasted that long, blake knows it’s too good to be true. only the heat was to blame for the warmth overtaking her body, to make her feel as if she was suffocating inside this damn bar. the woman wishes they’d at least open a window or something. it drops a few degrees outside and they think it’s fucking winter. ridiculous.
it’s a slow night, so no one pays mind to her current state - hunched over the bar, eyes never leaving the clock to make sure she doesn’t miss a second of her break. the bartender on the clock spares her a glance, but doesn’t speak a word ( probably fearing the repercussions if he even uttered a syllable ). she just needed out, fresh air or something that would make her shift a little more bearable.
a sigh of relief passes her lips once the clock finally reaches the promised hour, her teeth freeing her abused lower lip and hands pushing her off from where she stood hunched over the counter. “aaaand that’s my cue.” she announces, not really caring if anyone heard her as she’s already marching towards the door. “just getting some fresh air, don’t worry i’ll be in back before-”
her hand fails to meet the door as it is suddenly swung open. blake has to force herself not to groan in pleasure at the gust of wind that meets her face. however, she does allow herself to grin at the woman who stared back at her. “well look who it is. would it be conceited of me to assume you’re here for little ol’ me?” ━━ ・゚ @msuxhimari 、
there’s a gust of wind, a gasp, and her perfectly styled hair goes everywhere. she groans in frustration. are you fucking kidding me? reluctantly, the woman comes to a stop - the rough drag of her heels bringing her to a bench. she can barely see, her hair scattered in all sorts of places and making this unnecessarily complicated. blake huffs in frustration, but mostly an attempt to blow the strands away from her eyes and unstick from her bright red, glossy lips.
such a shame. plopping down on the bench, the woman raises the hand that’s been clutching her phone 99.9% of the night ( damn these pocketless dresses ) and swipes over to her camera. blake quickly begins to pull herself together, brushing curled strands away from her eyes and picking strays from her lips. gross. she sighs one last time, puckering up her lips and smacking them together before closing the app.
she raises, ready to head in and get this party started - but a familiar sight stops her. a smile instantly spreads across her lips “astrid!” she’d recognize that gorgeous face anywhere. and who was that little one clutching her hand? natsuki. blake’s smile only grew. “where are you two headed, hm?” ━━ ・゚ @msuastrid 、
HELLO EVERYONE ! ♥ i’m faye ( she/her ) and this is my little fireball blake jung. it feels like i have been waiting forever to join ( literally have been wanting to since the first week mokseong opened ), so i am super excited to finally be able to bring her here! she’s a 💦 suseong 💦 sophomore majoring in pre law and minoring in creative writing. known for her short-fuse cute face, she’s honestly just trying to live her best life at mokseong. sadly, i have been slacking and failed to get her full profile up by her acceptance. however, i do have her STUDENT PROFILE up that has a a little bit of information! i do plan on finishing up her main profile soon and getting some open plots up, but in the meantime you can take a peak under the read more to learn more about miss blake and contact me for plotting either here, on twitter (foxglves), discord (𝙁𝘼𝙔𝙀.#7009)
/ * BACKSTORY * \
tw: mentions of adoption, divorce, self-loathing, bullying.
CLICK HERE FOR A MORE DEEP DIVE INTO HER PAST !
okay so i’m going to try and keep this short. story starts in COUPEVILLE, WASHINGTON where her father, ERIC JUNG, is born and raised. he’s an outcast cause he’s a lil quirky but he befriends another little boy who is also socially excluded. turns out this little boy is a wizard yayyyyy and this absolutely fascinating to her father. basically this is what starts his obsession with magic.
fast forwards a few years and he marries a nice lady named MICHELLE. she’s a lot more quiet and reserved than he is, but they think they’re the perfect pair. she’s a mortician and he’s a writer for the newspaper, but also runs a blog where he rants and raves about magic. a mortician and the local weirdo who is obsessed with magic? needless to say, they quickly became notorious in their town.
after years of being unable to conceive, the couple adopt a baby girl who they name JUNG BARAM, but she just goes by BLAKE. as their only child, she is the apple of their eye. they think she is so smart, so sweet, so special, and come to find out they’re not exactly wrong.
she’s SIX when she presents magical abilities. she gets inspired by the fairy godmother from cinderella and suddenly all her clothes start flying around her room as she sings bibbidi bobbidi boo!
her mother is shook but her father is like 👀👀👀👀
now that they know she’s a wizard, her father is so obsessed with her. like to an unhealthy level. she’s not allowed to play with other children without supervision, can’t go out anywhere with her dad without him trying to get her to do something crazy. blake is now the topic of his blog continuously, which earns her teasing from her classmates.
now she hates the magic that once made her feel special because she’s getting bullied for it and her dad is an obsessed weirdo. her parents also divorce when she’s EIGHT YEARS OLD because her mother can’t handle the person her father has become.
her mother easily wins custody of blake and the two move to SEATTLE to start over. while her mother did want a life free of bullying and judgmental eyes, she also brought them to seattle in hopes of finding someone who could understand blake. her mother didn’t exactly hate her daughter, she still loved her, but she feared what she could not control.
the search brought them to @msuastrid ‘s family where blake would grow to love and appreciate herself a bit more. while her faith hadn’t been completely restored, the family taught her to value her magic and this was a huge inspiration to her.
enrolls in ILVERMORNY when it’s about that time and she thrives there. she loved exploring her capabilities and found her inspiration to be a wizarding lawyer here ( idk maybe saw some important lawyer woman and she got Inspired ).
most of her adult personality developed there
now comes her entrance to MOKSEONG in 2019. chose the school to get away and hopefully start a successful life. she wants to find a sense of belonging here and just basically live her best life tbh
/ * EXTRAS & PLOT IDEAS MAYBE? * \
personality wise she is firecracker. definitely a bit quirky like her father and has loads of energy. even when she’s angry she’s smiling!! which is admittedly a bit scary
on the top of anger, blake here has quite the temper. while she’s overall easy to get along with, she’s easy to anger although she quickly gets over it. this paired with impatience is never good.
very kind, would give you the shirt off her back.
LOATHES bullying of any kind. if she catches you just teasing your friend out of love, be careful she may cause a scene if she even thinks there’s any malice.
acts like she’s so confident in her abilities and every aspect of her life, but in reality she has a lot of self-loathing. fears failure so much she studies her ass off and sacrifices a lot of sleep. but this in turn actually makes her pretty smart so 🤘🤘🤘
( she may do your homework if you ask and compensate kindly wink wink )
also doesn’t talk about her parents really. she’s lowkey still embarrassed of her dad so if you ever catch wind of that situation, do not bring it up.
party animal then, party animal now
will try anything once HONESTLY
very chaotic. she exhausts me
fellow ilvermorny alumns???? lets goooooo
was a more popular girl, either by association with @msuastrid or just her personality tbh she was a pretty girl with a wild streak and attracted all sorts of people. very much a social butterfly.
on the topic of ilvermorny, she was kind of notorious for having bad taste in men/women. so hey you got a muse that could be labeled as a shitty ex??? let’s fucking go. she probably wasn’t the best partner either tbh
longs for a sense of belonging so she has a bunchhhhh of acquaintances. really wants close friends she could call her family ya know?
also she’s a waitress at borealis bar so gimme regulars and irritating drunks/flirts!! or the sad ones she can comfort
SPECIFIC WANTED CONNECTION: when she entered mokseong, she wanted to start over and get rid of any reputations she had at ilvermorny. butttt she kind of messed that up when she dated a specific someone her freshman year (2019) and it didn’t end well ( per usual ). so gimme a “shitty” ex from last year please!!! can be further discussed
after that breakup, she decided to focus on her studies bc f that
also has a good social media presence,,, i’ll be working on her accounts later
maybe some cousin plots???? people from her hometown??? old bullies???
a freshman she’s taken under her wing because “i’ve always wanted a younger sibling!!”
also “our cats have great chemistry, they’re married now”
