|| Get to know ROXANNE MARTIN who’s NINETEEN years old and a FRESHMAN in college majoring in BUSINESS. She is from CORONA and is often times mistaken for JAZ SINCLAIR while others say she reminds them of ROXANNE from A GOOFY MOVIE. ||

“I’ve had enough of math to last me for a lifetime,” Roxanne sighs dramatically as she flops down onto the couch next to Wendy, discarding her accounting textbook onto the coffee table. “Why do business majors need to know math anyway?” she mutters under her breath, even though she knows the answer to that very obviously. Another semester, another year ahead pretending she has any interest in the subject just to make her dad happy. She was determined to go into this semester with a more positive outlook, but only a few days in and she already finds herself having a decidedly bad time. “Please tell me you’re doing something more exciting,” she asks hopefully, eager for a distraction. “What are you watching?” // @wcndybird

“don’t be silly,” tiana warns, knowing full and well that they could go back and forth like this for hours. “you’re the prettiest. no contest.” she says firmly, as if this was something serious worth discussing. which, in her current state it was the most serious thing to discuss. “nooo, i have to work! I’ve gotta save up to get my daddy’s dream restaurant.” tiana pouts, not even a little surprised that even now roxanne would call her out on how she overworks herself. she knows deep down that she’s right though, sometimes tiana hs the nasty habit of stretching herself far too thin — but it’s all for good cause. “i have fun. i have plenty fun! i have fun with you guys and stitch and star!”

The compliment is enough to make Roxanne blush, just as shy after a few drinks as she is on a normal day. Feeling confident enough tonight she doesn’t refute it completely, but she’s not ready to just let Tiana win. “No no no, it’s all you,” Roxanne shakes her head vehemently, not willing to let it go this easily. Of course they all look great, no question about it, Lottie making sure her roommates left the house looking impeccable for the party. “Okay so you have some fun,” Roxanne concedes, though she’s not quite ready to let it go yet. “But do you have enough fun? You can still do that and make your daddy proud by opening the best restaurant in the whole wide world!” Taking Tiana’s hands in her own she gives them a little squeeze, the moment briefly sobering at the mention of her father. “And sleep!” she blurts out, not remembering the last time she’s seen her roommate sleep in. “You need more of that too!”

nathan-nibs:

The lost boy just rolled the eyes and raised his hand in an overly comical expression, as if someone finally understood the same as him, basically leaning his body forward as if to share an overly important secret that no one else could hear. “Couldn’t agree more! Like, dude, it’s a masquerade to say goodbye to this mess of a year, can’t you get something better to animate the party? We should just get on the stage and show this people what real entertaiment is! ” That would be fun, and a fun anecdote to share with others, although he could not be 100% sure that Roxane would agree to be part of that plan, maybe to dance yes. Hearing the idea about bribing the DJ, Nathan’s mental gears began to work on some idea that he could ensure that it could happen. “Mmmm the drinks sound like great motivation but what if we offer money?” And with the ‘we’ the musician wanted/mean to say 'he’. C'mon, money moves the work and a guy could afford to lose some bills if that guarantees a good party. A friendly smile spread across his face as the hand squeezed Roxanne’s shoulder gently, shaking his head as if it were totally normal. “Don’t give me that look, it’s the quick way to get rid of this sound that this person considers to be music. Kinda insulting to the musical world, but is reality.”

“I think my expectations for this thing might’ve been a little too high,” she admits, taking another sip of her drink. She’s been to these events before, knows perfectly well how they always go, yet there was always a small part of her that hoped this year they would at least up their music selection a little bit. A dj is definitely the step in the right direction of a string quartet or something like that, but it doesn’t make too much of a different if the music is just plain bad. “Maybe you should get up on the stage and show them how it’s done,” Roxanne laughs, more than happy to support Nibs if he decided to jump up on stage. Much preferring to blend into the background though, she can’t say that she would get up there and join him, both because she doesn’t love the idea of all these eyes being on her and because her own singing voice leaves a little something to be desired. “Oh but I don’t want him to feel bad,” Roxanne bites her lip nervously at the idea of hurting his feelings even if the initial idea to bribe him very much came from her. She’s always been a little too nice for her own good, and the idea of taking over when it’s the man’s whole job would certainly fill her with some guilt. “Maybe we should just focus on the next event,” she suggests, slowly steering the conversation away from the concept of bribery. “You know, figure out how to convince them to play better music next time.”

“Thanks, sugar.” Though Lottie already knew she looked amazing, it was always nice hearing it from someone else. “And your dress is stunnin’ too - but I’ve already told ya that.” Multiple times, in fact - when they’d been shopping for the gown and a few times at random over the weeks that had followed leading up to tonight. Every time the blonde had thought about the dance she’d gotten excited for so many reasons, one of them being how fantastic she and Tiana and Roxanne were going to look. And Wendy of course, but Lottie was still a bit saddened by the fact that their fourth roommate had gone to someone else for dress shopping help. “Oh no, not anyone in particular. Any fella will do, really,” she answered with a shrug as she looked around as well. “All the masks make it a little hard though, don’t they? What if we meet our soulmates tonight and have no clue ‘bout who they really are tomorrow?”

“I know you wouldn’t let me come in anything that wasn’t,” Roxanne grins, looking happily down at the dress they chose for the night. There’s no way she would ever go dress shopping with anyone other than Lottie, her roommate practically an expert when it comes to fashion. While she doesn’t necessarily have a bad eye herself, it’s nothing compared to the blonde’s. All she had to do was give Lottie the reins and she easily picked out the perfect thing. “Well I don’t think they have to actually stay a secret all night,” she reminds her with a small giggle, though she supposes that the mystery of the masquerade is sort of the point. “If you really think they’re your soulmate you should at least get their name by the end of the night.” Not that she actually expects either of them to find their soulmates by the end of the night, but it’s never anything she’s ready to rule out completely.

Coraline would have thought any other person was just saying that, but this girl had kind eyes, which was she was not that used to seeing if she was being honest with herself. “Thanks. Yours is nice too.” She knew that was lame, it felt lame leaving her lips, but she had already said it so there was no going back. At the other girls question she shrugged. “I dunno. As much as I love looking at the stars I really don’t know shit about them. Which just makes me a fake fan.” She smiled at her own joke, always entertaining herself a little bit. “I hope it means something good is coming though. No one wants to look into the sky and see only bad things.”

“Oh thanks,” Roxanne smiles as the other girl compliments her mask, hands instinctively reaching up to touch the purple fabric that covers her eyes. “I don’t know how these are supposed to keep people a secret, though,” she admits with a soft laugh. If a mask covering a small portion of your face is enough to keep you from being able to recognize people, that seems a little bit sad. “That’s okay I won’t tell anyone. Your secret’s safe with me.” Chuckling at the other girl’s admittance of being a fake fan, she looks back up at the stars. “Do you think any of these are actually constellations?” she muses, now well aware that the girl beside her likely doesn’t have a clue either. “That looks kind of like a bunny.” She points to a cluster of stars above them, pointing out fake constellations seeming like more fun than trying to find the real ones.

Coraline had been standing outside on the balcony for a few minutes now. She was a little bored, even though she thought that was a little stupid since she was in an actual castle like from a fairytale or some shit like that. She should be trying to explore the off-limits areas, but instead she was stargazing. She felt like the stars had it so easy; they were high in the sky, doing them, looking down at everyone but not dealing with anyone. It sounded perfect. Her ghostface mask was on the floor next to her as she leaned forward to get a better look to gaze. She would have just done this all night had she not heard someone join her. “Hmm?” she asked, fully missing whatever was being said to her. “You should join me. The stars are extra bright tonight. Fitting, huh?”

Cheeks still flushed from spending most of the night on the dance floor, Roxanne breathes out a soft sigh of relief as she walks outside, the cool night air a welcome reprieve from the stuffiness of the ballroom. Glancing around the balcony she notices a girl not too far away, one that’s been hard to miss inside because of her mask. “Oh uh, I really like your mask,” Roxanne repeats with a genuine smile when she realizes the girl didn’t catch what she said, pointing down at the ghostface mask on the ground. “It’s such a good movie.” It’s definitely a different approach than what anyone else at the party took, everyone else seeming to go with something a little more conventional, but there’s no question that hers is a lot more fun. “They do look really bright tonight,” she agrees, glancing up at the night sky. “Do you think that’s supposed to be good luck or something?”

Holding on to Roxanne’s arm as they roamed the ballroom, Lottie let out a little giggle at her roommate’s compliment. It was true, but she never would have been the one to say it out loud - not quite that vane. Though if it had been any of her close friends trying to wear a pink dress on a night like this, things would have been different, but Lottie couldn’t expect everyone else on the island to know not to compete with her. “They can wear whatever they want. It don’t matter who else’s wearin’ pink, I know I’ve got the best dress here. I made sure of it - imported the fabric from Milan straight to Tia’s mama and told the sellers not to let no one from Corona anywhere near it. Just to be sure.” Was it extra and beyond unnecessary? Absolutely. But that was Lottie.

Laughing softly, Roxanne can’t help but admire her friend’s never ending confidence. It’s something she’s never had much of herself, but being around Lottie and seeing how sure she is of herself always helps to give Roxanne a bit of confidence too. “And it was definitely worth it. You look amazing.” She can’t imagine putting in that much effort just for a dress, but in the short time she’s known Lottie it’s been perfectly clear that she takes her looks seriously. It’s something that Roxanne could never fault her for, deeply admiring how fantastic Lottie always looks, even if she’s just lounging around the house. “So is there anyone you’ve got your eye on tonight?” she asks excitedly, looking at the crowd around them. It’s hard to tell who most people are behind the masks, at least at first glance, but it’s definitely part of the fun.

Foot tapping against the leg of the table, Wendy had started to wonder if she should have gone with Roxanne to get the drinks but two things made her believe it was better she’d waited. One, they needed a table and as soon as she’d sat down all the others had filled up. Two, she looked about twelve years old and they were already on thin ice on not getting turned away. She wouldn’t have helped. When her roommate appeared out of the crowd, Wendy beamed, leaning forward in her chair to look over the options. “What exactly is a rumberry? It does not sound real.” It sounded like something from one of her fantasy novels but that didn’t stop her from sliding the drink in her direction.

As nice as it would have been to come this evening with a date, Roxanne is more than happy to be spending most of the evening with her roommates and closest friends. They were undoubtedly the best part of her year, and she could do far worse than ringing in the new year with them. “I think it might just be boozy berries? I honestly have no idea,” Roxanne laughs, eyeing the drink that Wendy pulls towards herself. She didn’t put all that much thought in it, grabbing the drinks that looked cute and tasty being her highest priority. “If you don’t like it we can trade though!” she offers, taking a sip of her own drink. It was definitely as good as it looked. “So what’s the plan for tonight anyway?” With less thing to do at the ball than most island events there likely isn’t a need for too much of a game plan, but it doesn’t mean they still can’t be prepared.

had you told tiana earlier that she would find herself bouncing around the ball with more alcohol in her system than she’s ever had, she’d consider you a liar. but here she is, arms wrapped around roxanne and nuzzling her face into her neck as if snuggling at their table wasn’t kind of weird. even weirder for tiana who’d never partake in so much public affection. “did you know you’re the prettiest girl in the whole world?” she asks, honesty and well intent dripping off her words. “you and lottie and wendy are the prettiest girls! and you’re so sweet and smart and i love you so so so much.” pulling back momentarily, she looks at roxanne deeply and seriously into her eyes as if they’re talking about something far more serious than how much tiana loves her. @rcxannemartin

While Roxanne has lost track of how many drinks she’s had tonight, taking full advantage of the fact that the bartenders don’t seem to be interested in carding, she clearly hasn’t had quite as much as Tiana. She doesn’t think she’s ever seen her roommate like this, knowing Lottie to be the affectionate one of the bunch. She can’t help but love her energy, though, even if they’re all likely to forget all of this by the morning. “No you’re the prettiest!” Roxanne insists, head resting lightly on top of Tiana’s as she nuzzles into her neck. “And you work too hard!” she adds, adopting Tiana’s serious tone as she takes her roommates hands in her own. “You need to take some more time for yourself and have fun for once.”

After what feels like ages waiting in line, Roxanne grins as she finally comes away from the bar with drinks in hand. Still a little surprised at just how lax they seem to be at carding at these events, she isn’t complaining as she return to the table where Wendy’s waiting. After spending so long in line, she’s just relieved that her roommate hasn’t been swept away by someone else. “Holiday spritz or rumberry punch?” Roxanne asks, setting down a glass of each as she return to the table with her friends. “They both look good and I couldn’t decide, so you can pick!” // @wcndybird

“They really missed out on the opportunity to get a live band,” Roxanne sighs heavily as the dj plays a new song, staring out at the dance floor wistfully. “Or at least Normally she would already be out on the dance floor but she hangs back at a table with Nibs instead, waiting for a song that she actually likes to come on. At this point she’s almost positive she could hook up some of her Spotify playlists and it would come out better than whatever this guy’s playing. “Think we could bribe him into letting us take over for a bit?” she jokes, taking a sip of her drink. While not normally much of a drinker, she’s hoping that the dj’s choices will start sounding a lot better after a few glasses of champagne. // @nathan-nibs

Roxanne has been coming to these new years parties for as long as she can remember, always excited to put on a fancy dress and spend the evening out on the dancefloor. As she walks through the party in search of drinks with Lottie, she already knows this will be the best year yet, her roommates having a habit of making everything better. “I can’t believe that anyone else here is even bothering to wear the colour pink,” Roxanne laughs softly as she looks around the room, taking in the sea of dresses that surround them. Everyone looks beautiful, no doubt about it, but her roommate definitely has them all beat and she can’t be convinced otherwise. “Don’t they know that pink is your colour?” // @eveningstarlottie

send 🛍️ for our muses to go gift shopping together . (tiana)

While her own presents are all purchased and tucked safely beneath the tree, Roxanne finds herself at the mall once again, more than happy to accompany Tiana as she does her own gift shopping. As the busiest of her roommates by far, Roxanne is more than happy to take any time with her that she can get. Though as they walk through the mall, she can’t help but notice the long lines that stretch out through each store, the hustle and bustle around them making it clear it won’t be much of a relaxing trip to the mall. “So what’s the game plan?” she asks, turning to Tiana, ready to follow her lead. “Do we divide and conquer or hit every store together?” // @tiasbeignets

🛍️ for our muses to go gift shopping together .

Arms full of bags as they walk through the mall, Roxanne glances at her phone as she starts checking names off the list, doing her best to make sure no one is forgotten. “You still haven’t told me what you want!” she realizes suddenly, Nib’s names one of the few still on her list to buy for. “And don’t just say you’d be happy with anything,” Roxanne warns, nudging him lightly in the side. “I need some ideas.” While she could probably come up with something decent to get him on her own, she wants to make sure she gets him something he actually wants. He’s had a tough year, after all (he’ll be leaving part of his finger behind in 2020, after all) and she can’t think of anyone that deserves to finish out the year with a good Christmas more than Nibs.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Roxanne asks skeptically as they wander over to the housewares section of the store, glancing at all the fancy kitchen supplies that line the tables. Of course it’s something Tiana would love, their roommate spending more time in the kitchen than anyone she’s ever met, but she always seems to prefer things that are relatively modest. “You know Tia’s gonna kill you if you spend this much money on her.” She picks up the price tag on the closest thing she sees, shaking her head at the $400 that’s printed boldly on the tag. For a blender? It’s not likely something that Lottie would even think twice about, but she doubts their friend would be so willing to accept a gift like that. “Why don’t we rein it in just a little bit?” // @eveningstarlottie

“I think the last person on my list is Lottie...” Roxanne muses as the wander through the store, both of their arms laden with shopping bags. Most of their friends luckily hadn’t been too hard to buy for, but Roxanne found herself stumped on what to get when the friend in question had enough money that she could (and did) buy whatever she pleased. “Oh what about this!” she finally brightens as she notices a pink dress that definitely looks like something Lottie would have hanging in her closet. “Do you think she’d like it?” she asks, pulling the dress off the rack and holding it out for Wendy to see. // @wcndybird
