forgive her for being jumpy. three pings of her phone have left her feeling particularly apprehensive tonight. the mere thought of someone speaking of the pact is enough have her heart racing. she’s tried to reason with herself – no one outside of the pact should have any knowledge of it, but what else could she have done to warrant an ominous message like that ? thoughts are racing around her head too fast, she has to close her eyes to reground herself; can’t stop herself from stopping the first person she sees who knows. ❛ hey ! um– have you heard about anyone getting weird messages today ? or sending them ? because this… really wouldn’t be a funny prank. ❜
the events of today had made charlotte quite uneasy to say the least. all she wanted was one day, a full 24 hours of normal. today was so close to being one of those days, but all it took was three messages from an unknown number to ruin it. the brunette shoved her phone back into her pocket, she couldn’t deal with this right now. she was not about to have a total freak out in the middle of campus, this could wait until she gets back to the safety of her apartment. as she began to walk out of the courtyard, a familiar figured intervened her path. a small smile formed briefly on charlotte’s lips, thankful to see the other. although, her smile dropped quickly at the sight of celeste’s unhappy expression. a somewhat relieved sigh left charlotte’s lips, although relieved might not be the best word to describe how she felt. ❛ oh thank god, i’m not the only one getting them. i was really about to start freaking out. are you okay ? what did yours say ? ❜
by all means the DESPERATION of noah getting locked out of his own car is by almost laughable. call it intuition or paranoia, but the idea of having to stand in the middle of the parking lot at 9 at night while someone out there knew m o r e than they were supposed to, is not a horror movie trope he was personally enjoying. he’d called a nearby mechanic to come and assist in the unlocking of said car, but so far it had been half an hour of radio silence and he was beginning to itch. the lot was nearly empty save he and a few other’s cars and the the dim overhead street lamps were doing wonders for his overactive imagination. “ aw come on man. ” he groans into the night, hand pulling on the handle of his vehicle, willing it open and perhaps tapping into some unknown jedi potential.
an exhausted yawn was all that charlotte could manage to do after spending the past four hours in the library. she knew the moment she got back to her apartment she was getting straight into bed. every day for the past two weeks she had been caught between tutoring and swim meets, she just needed SOME time for herself to recuperate. plus with the addition of today’s ominous mystery texts, her chances of relaxation were becoming slim to none. as the girl strolled back to her car she noticed the presence of another person. her body slightly tensed for a moment, and a bit of worry flooded over her as she watched the figure try to break into some car. she did her best to avoid being detected by the other and to get to her car as quickly as possible. although as she got closer to her car and closer to the other person, she quickly realized who it was. a inaudible sigh of relief left her lips. “ trying to steal a car ? ”
the familiar ‘ding’ sounded and poppy checked her phone, a scoff passing her lips as her eyes scanned the first text that rolled in. but then the second one came, and then the third, and the feeling of confident dismissal vanished as the tides of discomfort rolled in. it was a feeling that was soon replaced by anger, no one could have known except people who were there, and whoever it was penelope jane whitley did not let people play mind games this way. standing she brushed invisible dirt off her dungaree shorts. it was a visible process as she rolled back her shoulders, back straightening, features melting into an unbothered mask as she scanned the surrounding area. poppy looked around, gaze falling on the people who were around, still hanging around on the campus, and with a hum that said ‘i suppose you will do’ the redhead approached them, “join me for drinks? i’d even settle for coffee as long as it’s irish.”
all it took was three messages and an unknown phone number to ruin charlotte’s day. her eyes were glued to the phone screen, as if staring at those messages any harder would give her some kind of answer as to who sent it or why they sent it to her. the sound of approaching footsteps broke her attention from the device’s screen. a defeated sigh escaped her lips as she tried to put this whole situation behind her. she shifted her gaze up only to be met with a familiar sight of red hair. a small smile tugged at her lips as poppy approached her. before she had time to give her a real greeting, poppy proposed drinks and charlotte couldn’t be more thankful for that suggestion. “ please, your timing is perfect. we can do whatever you want, i’ll even pay. ”
jo didn’t get a good look at the dark haired girl until she brought the bottle closer to her, “ thanks ,” she hummed softly as her eyes settled up on the face in front of her. vague memories of that fateful night at manon’s flashed through her head. they had spoken for only a few moments before manon had been discovered, which was enough to bond everyone there in someway, “ um, yeah ,” she nodded was a nervous smile, “ charlotte… ? “ she said slowly as the name that matched the face finally came to mind, “ sorry to bother you, but i just had to finish my stretch ,” she said almost nervously as she twisted out of her split moving to sit on the grass, “ but, uh, how have you been ? “
the brunette waved off the other girl’s apology, understanding the need for assistance. she shrugged slightly at the girl’s question, the smile faltering slightly from her lips. “ i’m alright, getting through the rest of the year. but, i’m actually i’ve actually been wanting to ask you the same thing. i just never knew how to get in touch with you. ” charlotte trailed off a bit as she pondered on her words for a moment. she didn’t want to overstep her boundaries or make the other girl uncomfortable with the subject; but, she did want to make sure she was okay since she knew she was close with manon.
a small hum passed through jo’s lips as she sat stretched out in her left split, the green grass of the tickling the bottom of her legs through her leggings. cheer practice had only ended a few hours ago and she was midway through her usual cool down. coach had recently cut out their usual cool down due to time constraints but, jo knew that was the easiest way for somebody to get an injury so she always took time to cool herself down and stretch, “ hey you ! ” jo called out toward a close passerby her head raising ever so slightly, “ could you pass me the water bottle over there ? “ she nodded a few feet over from her towards her plastic bottle. “ i have like a minute left in this then i have to do the other side ,” she tried to explain as she leaned forward on to her elbows.
the comforting warmth of spring finally began to set in over the campus, charlotte had become tired of wisconsin’s ever so fickle weather. one day being in the low forties, the next being in the high seventies. tired of being confined to the indoors she decided the weather was a perfect excuse to get out and go for a small stroll around campus. as she passed through the field, she encountered an unexpected detour. charlotte turned to see the blonde, sprawled out on the grass. without hesitation she complied with the girl’s request and fetched her the plastic bottle. “ here. ” as the pair’s eyes met the brunette’s lips curved into a smile. “ jo, right ? ” though, they weren’t very well acquainted charlotte recognized her as manon’s friend from the party that night. she had wanted to reach out to the other girl sooner, she just never knew how to get in touch with her. she couldn’t imagine what she was going through with the loss of her friend.
↪ park jihyo. she/her. cisfemale. ╱ i thought i saw charlotte hwang getting questioned by the police. the twenty-one year old is in their fourth year at west bridge studying elementary education. they were at manon’s party because she was manon’s tutor / occasional hook-up. do you think they had something to do with her death? + the scent of ralph lauren’s romance, color coded sticky notes in worn textbooks, and a welcoming smile.
hi everyone ! its your friendly neighborhood bi here to tell you how excited i am for this rp ! i would love to plot with as many of y’all as possible so please feel free to either message me on here or on discord ( LOOΠΔ's bitch#3338 ). or if you prefer for me to message you first just like this post . sorry for this messy ass intro i kind of rushed it so i could be on time for the opening anyway,,, this is some quick info about charlotte & i’ll eventually add her connections / wc to the bottom of this post but until then here’s this ;
biography ;
- charlotte is an aspiring second grade teacher & an elementary education major. she had wanted to become a teacher since she was in 8th grade and she helped volunteer in a second grade class room to watch/play with the kids.
- in university, charlotte is very passionate about her education and is generally a pretty good student ( with the exemption of a few math classes ). when she’s not in class though, she’s either tutoring others in the library, in swim practice, or with friends. she’s kinda.... boring and very dependent on routine but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
- as for her connection to manon, she was a year above manon and helped tutor her in a few of her classes. unlike manon, charlotte was never very popular and didn’t attend a whole bunch of parties. although, the more time they spent together the closer they got. after some time their tutoring sessions ended up with hooking up a few times. neither of them were particularly looking for a relationship or anything like that, but it just felt nice for them to be together.
- the night of the party, she only went because manon begged her to bc it would get her out of her comfort zone. she reluctantly agreed to attend but did it because it made manon happy and she figured she would know most of the people at the party so she could find at least one person to talk to.
- now with all the drama going on surrounding manon’s death, she just wants to take care of everyone around her and help get everyone to the end of the year. part of her feels guilty about manon’s death because she feels like if she did something differently manon would still be alive.
- as for her family life, she and her family all get along very well and are extremely supportive of one another. when she came out as a lesbian to her family during her freshman year of college, they couldn’t have been more accepting and understanding.
- she has two older sisters, one who she doesn’t talk to much since they moved out of state. and the other, who she’s very close with & stays with over the summers so she can babysit / take care of her niece.
- personality wise, she’s very much the mom friend. she’s usually pretty bubbly and compassionate and takes care of everyone. she often puts others before herself, which can take a bit of a toll on her since it’s easy for people to take advantage of her compassion. she can sometimes be a bit stern but she always tries to act in everyone’s best interest so if she’s does something you don’t like it’s because she thinks its what’s needed.
established connections ;
noah jung - innocent until proven guilty : noah is often the subject of defamation and suspect when people try to pin manon’s death on someone. charlotte is one of the few people who believes he had nothing to do with her death and has no problem speaking up for him. no one knows the truth about what happened that night and no one should be pointing fingers. especially at noah.
poppy whitley - positive influence : their unlikely friend has been one of the most ( and only ) beneficial things to come from manon’s nye party. they both help each other grow and become better versions of themselves. charlotte helps poppy become more compassionate and less brass, meanwhile poppy helps charlotte toughen up and stick up for herself.
jisoo han - a shoulder to cry on: neither had crossed each other’s paths until the evening of the party but the pair engaged in a bit of small talk at the party in which they established that both of them knew manon. after manon's death charlotte felt the need to check in with jo because she knew they were close friends and wants to be there for her in this time of grief.
zen namgung - i’ll be there for you : after manon’s party charlotte noticed zen became quite distant from everyone & from campus life. charlotte checks in on him every chance she gets and does anything she can to get him to feel better.
kyungmi ‘celeste’ adachi - wbu protection squad : these two are cut from the same cloth and have taken it upon themselves to be there for everyone in this time of need. while these two are busy taking care of everyone else they often forget to take care of themselves, that is until they found each other.
