OPEN ! —— “ ya know, every year i think: maybe this is it. maybe this is the year when halloween candy’s gonna cure my halloween hangover. like a halloween miracle, instead of a christmas miracle, right? ” groaning, rosie squinted hard against the light. she raised a hand to her brow to shield her eyes as she sat up, wrappers falling from last night’s costume onto the surface she passed out on sometime in the wee hours of the morning. “ and every year, i’m disappointed. what’s a girl gotta do to get a little magic going? ”
Conor couldn’t say how long he’d been drinking. He wouldn’t even say he was drunk. But, he’d figured why not? He didn’t have any classes he actually cared about the next day, so why not? He’d smoked a little bit, drank a little bit. He was a little loopy, even if he thought America still couldn’t make anywhere near the drinks that Ireland could. Seeing someone, he raised his bottle. “Sláinte” It meant the same thing as cheers, in America. “If you’d like a drink, I don’t mind sharing.”
classes far from her mind, rosie cared about nothing right now aside from the warm buzz of alcohol flowing through her system as she stumbled from the crowded building. she heard about another party nearby — no sense in sticking around if other potential fun remained undiscovered. unsteady feet carried her down the sidewalk, and in her haze, rosie almost didn’t even see the man she quickly approached. “ whoa, ” she slurred, hand thrust out to make sure of his distance. she wound up the victim of accidental bump ins plenty without alcohol in the mix. rosie waved her hand around a couple times, then, satisfied, she let it drop back down. it was just then his offer actually set in. “ wait, seriously? you’re not about to prank me with an empty bottle, are you? ‘coz i’ve had that happen before and it’s seriously not cool. ”
“i’ve just spent the last two hours watching fish videos on youtube.” the blonde laughed at her own ridiculousness. “i think i’m ready to start my own business, breeding & selling fish. who needs dance school?”
“ do it, girl. live your dreams! ” rosie exclaimed, arms lifted in the air in unashamed support. “ out of curiosity, what kinda fish you goin’ for? goldfish? beta? or are you doing something more exotic? ”
sometimes clara could get in her own head & seem to be lost in a sea of thoughts for hours. a product of growing up with a lot of time on her hands & no other outlet besides her thoughts, she retreated there quite often. one of those times was now, as she sat on the steps outside of her apartment. the florida air wrapping around her like a hug. it was getting closer to winter, so the air getting slightly cooler, but still warm enough to be out without a jacket. she wasn’t sure how much time had passed before she noticed a figure standing before her. she snapped out of her thoughts abruptly, her cheeks turning a rosy pink color in the aftermath of her embarrassment. “i’m sorry! i was — lost — for a little.”
“ hey, no need to apologize. not like there’s a law against zoning out in front of your own apartment. unless this isn’t your place, in which case... not exactly illegal, but kinda creep-o? ” she chuckled and lifted the large soda cup in hand to her lips, slurping a lengthy drink up through the straw. rosie could have easily passed by without a care, but that was never her way. small town habits, she figured. a good walk around town and striking up unexpected conversation suited her. “ so what’s got ya all dreamy eyed? anything fun, or is it more the ‘college stress crisis’ sort of zoned out? ”
“ halloween’s almost over and I haven’t even had the opportunity to indulge yet because I’ve been busy grading papers. I think next year the university should just declare it a holiday “
“ dude, start a petition & i’ll totally sign it. ” lips curved upward with a glance from the compact mirror in hand. rosie assumed her pause against a campus tree to double check her makeup and ensure her wig sat just right atop her head sparked the passing comment — thought she supposed any of the plethora of costumed students passing though on their ways to parties could have served as the prompt. “ more professors should be halloween friendly, anyway. every year it feels impossible getting extensions when you use the holiday as your excuse. i’m starting to run out of make-believe family members who’ve died on halloween. ”

+ her father ditched when she was about eight yrs old. he never really wanted to be a father and husband, so it’s a miracle he lasted as long as he did. rosie always tried to get close to her father, and maybe there were a few moments here and they where they had a nice day out at the movies or picking up mcdonald’s and watching cartoons together, but ultimately that wasn’t enough that he wanted to be there.
+ rosie’s mother struggled with substance abuse even before having her. her parents weren’t even out of high school when they had her. because of her mother’s struggles, rosie had to take care of herself a lot. she and her mother were never close, though there’s not exactly bad blood between them either. life at home was simply a lot of existing in the same space.
+ got into theatre in middle school by chance. she skipped a history class early on in the year, and when she tried to head for her spanish class, she accidentally walked into the neighboring drama room. rosie managed to stay about half the class before they realized she wasn’t supposed to be there, but by then, it was done. she so saw how much fun the community was in that classroom, and she wanted to be part of it.
+ unfortunately, a lot of the fellow drama kids there got into a lot of ill advised activities after school. a lot of them drank a lot and partied, and between that and the bad influence of her mother, rosie quickly spiraled down that path, too.
+ rosie struggled heavily with commitment, impulse control, etc. sometimes she’d get into her mother’s stashes to bring back to her friends so they could have a good time. despite that, drama class was the one area where she thrived. she auditioned for all the school plays and musicals, getting into just about all of them. if she didn’t, rosie took up a tech part. and kicking back and watching old musicals and shows ( as well as a lot of bootlegs ), did help keep her out of some trouble.
+ originally started college in her hometown of dayton, ohio, but dropped out relatively quick. she just couldn’t stand living in her crappy town anymore. rosie’s interests gave her bigger dreams. she wanted a more glamorous life, and she couldn’t get it by going to school in her hometown.
+ rosie took a year off to work and save up for something better. though she wanted to attend a good performing arts school in new york, the costs simply weren’t realistic. so rosie set her sights on sunshine university in florida. florida seemed more lax and wild to accompany her free spirited personality, and while no college is cheap, the fees weren’t as ridiculous as in new york. it seemed like a start to get out of her hometown. so she went for it.
+ nevertheless, rosie’s has kept her tendency to live too loose. her mind is still barely focused on classes outside theatre, putting in just enough effort to get by. she drinks too much. smokes. sleeps around. in all honesty, she barely has the money to be attending, either, and it’s only a few surprise checks from her father ( who evidently found decent success after leaving his family ) that keep her just stable enough to get by.
+ likes to sleep around a lot because it’s something that’s almost always guaranteed to get her attention. due to her childhood, rosie grew up low on it and craves it now. she’s not against buttering people up, having a one night stand, and acting like it’s nothing afterward. whether there are repeats depends on the person, but rosie’s never been one for long term relationships. the way rosie sees it, she plans on making it big one day anyway, so it’s not like she’ll be able to keep up with old relationships anyway. maybe deep down she’d like something deeper, but she’ll never admit that to anyone, even herself.
+ not really picky with who she seeks affection from, but she does have an unconscious tendency to go for those older than her. not that she’s against or won’t get with anyone her age, it’s just where she’s drawn. also really has no gender preference.
+ has super luxurious tastes and would never say no to a sugar-anything. buy her things and fuck her hard and you’ve got her heart honestly.
