about me

hi, everyone! My name is Aislinn Keane, and I’m in the class of ‘21! My parents are Duke Keane, who is a social worker, and Kimberly Holloway, who is a specialist and owns Ms Retro’s Diner, which makes the best pie on earth. I love the 80’s, much like my mom, and my best friends on the whole wide world are Steph, Richie, Ruth, my sister Sky, and Hannah. Random facts about me! My favorite actor is Alan Cumming, specifically in Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion, or in Cabaret. My favorite band/singer is Kimberly. My favorite movie is probably Labyrinth. I also work at Beanies, and used to work at Watcher World (had a few ER visits with that one).

(ooc! Hi, so this is my Hatchetfield OC. I run the account @ceenabon-gerald, @thatrichhatchetfieldgirl and @creepyhatchetfieldkid. This is account will have mentions of blood, head trauma, graphic descriptions of violence, and other stuff. Please no NSFW, I am a minor. I am ok with shipping tho.)

*It’s fall in hatchetfield. Halloween is days away, Aislinn’s favorite holiday.*

*she comes into the pie shop, bundled from the cold, tucking her hair behind her ear.*

“Hey, Mom? I’ve got a request.”

(Ooc: HI OMG so sorry I haven’t been active I completely forgot Tumblr existed for like a year)

What's on your mind hun?

*sits down* Can I go trick or treating this year? I have to ask, because sometimes you say no, because you think something crazy will happen.

It's Halloween in Hatchetfield hun, of course something will happen. Who all are you thinking of going with?

I was thinking you and aunt Veronica?

Well that sounds swell.

Getting any bad vibes?

None that we can't handle.

Awesome! Thank you, mom! *Aislinn comes behind the counter and hugs her.*

[Holloway chuckled, hugging her back.]

Of course, hun.

*She smiles and grabs her bag, running out of the diner.*

What if I exploded

sexism in medicine kills people. racism in medicine kills people. fatphobia in medicine kills people. queerphobia in medicine kills people. classism in medicine kills people. ableism in medicine kills people.

do not downplay people’s fears about being mistreated because they are a part of a marginalised group. it is a matter of life and death and you should be angry about it.

*Aislinn walks in, holding a flyer.* Hey, mom? There’s a circus going on in town, can I go?

What's the circus doing?

[Holloway looks down at the flyer.]

y’know, the usual. Acrobats, clowns, tarot readings…

Any purple furry mascots?

I don’t think watcher world would own something this tacky.

You'd be surprised.

[Holloway searches for any hints in the flyer that this is something under the lord's influence.]

[sits at one of the bar stools, tapping my nails against the table] So is it safe enough?

[Holloway deliberates before sighing.]

Are you planning on going alone?

I mean, I was. But I can go with someone if you want me to.

I would. This close to Halloween it's better to not go anywhere alone.

Ok. Who do you want me to go with?

Someone who'd you'd have fun with first of all. And secondly someone whose aware of the strangeness of Hatchetfield and has some idea of how to defend themself.

… what if you come with me?

[Holloway smiles.]

I'd love to hun.

[smiles] Yay! When can we go?

Is your homework done?

you know me, finished it at school.

Then we can go now if you want.

Alright! [grabs my backpack and pulls my bracelet on] Let’s go!

[Holloway chuckles, following her outside.]

*the carnival gives off an eerie aura. The rides and tents give off a red and yellow glow, as if being shined on by stage lights. Everything feels magical. Feels wrong. But Aislinn seems to be enthralled.*

...yep. Nope. We're leaving.

Wha-!? Mom, please!

Absolutely not. This place is brimming with dark magic.

Just give it a chance! Please? It looks fun!

Course it does. That's how it lures you in.

[sighs] Mom, please. The only colors I see are red and yellow, and this doesn’t seem like Tinky’s thing.

There's more than just the Lord's out there, Aislinn. Especially this time of year.

Like? Basically everyone that’s got power works for the lords or is influenced by them in some way.

There's a world outside this town hun. Witches, fae, vampires, werewolves, demons, plenty of creatures that have never even heard of the Lords.

… how did I not know about that?

Because you are too focused on your little bubble.

[glances back around the carnival] … just one activity?

......

One.

[smiles] can I go see a magic show?

Hun you see magic every day.

I know that! But something about this one looks really cool.

What about it catches your eye?

[shrugs] I’m not entirely sure. It just looks really cool. [goes over to the poster for the show to check if anything’s wrong] See anything here?

[Holloway inspects the poster, trying to sense anything negarious about it.]

(Ooc: I definitely want some drama lol so yes)

(ooc - Alright but we're but Holloway's close to just dragging Aislinn out of the park.)

[Holloway shakes her head.]

Nope. Too much bad magic.

(ooc: lmao I love her she’s the best mom)

Wha- oh come on!

Don't blame me blame the evil circus.

you said I could do one thing. I’m either doing this or a tarot reading.

....magic show it is.

[smiles] Yay! [goes inside]

[Holloway sighs, quickly following behind Aislinn, instantly on guard.]

*the tent glows with a warm, welcoming yellow light. Rows upon rows of seats are circled around the stage, with just a spotlight shining in the middle with no star underneath.*

[Holloway holds Aislinn's hand, not wanting to be separated. She glances around, already on edge.]

[sits in the aisle] Mom, it’ll be fine.

I truly hope you're right.

[a drumroll rings. The lights fade to black, the spotlight burning even brighter. In the center, a man walks in, wearing a usual magician outfit. His eyes gleam with a red tint.]

oh…. Oh no.

Next time trust me when I say the place has a bad vibe.

small problem, I can’t move.

What?!

I don’t-! [the spotlight shines on them]

[Holloway grabs her daughter's wrist, muttering a spell that will allow her move again.]

[tries to run with her but the tent flap seems to be sealed shut] What is happening!?

The evil circus is evil, Aislinn.

[Holloway pulls out a knife, cutting a whole in the flap.]

[climbs out of the tent] Why does this always happen to us?

*Aislinn walks in, holding a flyer.* Hey, mom? There’s a circus going on in town, can I go?

*the carnival gives off an eerie aura. The rides and tents give off a red and yellow glow, as if being shined on by stage lights. Everything feels magical. Feels wrong. But Aislinn seems to be enthralled.*

...yep. Nope. We're leaving.

Wha-!? Mom, please!

Absolutely not. This place is brimming with dark magic.

Just give it a chance! Please? It looks fun!

Course it does. That's how it lures you in.

[sighs] Mom, please. The only colors I see are red and yellow, and this doesn’t seem like Tinky’s thing.

There's more than just the Lord's out there, Aislinn. Especially this time of year.

Like? Basically everyone that’s got power works for the lords or is influenced by them in some way.

There's a world outside this town hun. Witches, fae, vampires, werewolves, demons, plenty of creatures that have never even heard of the Lords.

… how did I not know about that?

Because you are too focused on your little bubble.

[glances back around the carnival] … just one activity?

......

One.

[smiles] can I go see a magic show?

Hun you see magic every day.

I know that! But something about this one looks really cool.

What about it catches your eye?

[shrugs] I’m not entirely sure. It just looks really cool. [goes over to the poster for the show to check if anything’s wrong] See anything here?

[Holloway inspects the poster, trying to sense anything negarious about it.]

(Ooc: I definitely want some drama lol so yes)

(ooc - Alright but we're but Holloway's close to just dragging Aislinn out of the park.)

[Holloway shakes her head.]

Nope. Too much bad magic.

(ooc: lmao I love her she’s the best mom)

Wha- oh come on!

Don't blame me blame the evil circus.

you said I could do one thing. I’m either doing this or a tarot reading.

....magic show it is.

[smiles] Yay! [goes inside]

[Holloway sighs, quickly following behind Aislinn, instantly on guard.]

*the tent glows with a warm, welcoming yellow light. Rows upon rows of seats are circled around the stage, with just a spotlight shining in the middle with no star underneath.*

*Aislinn walks in, holding a flyer.* Hey, mom? There’s a circus going on in town, can I go?

What's the circus doing?

[Holloway looks down at the flyer.]

y’know, the usual. Acrobats, clowns, tarot readings…

Any purple furry mascots?

I don’t think watcher world would own something this tacky.

You'd be surprised.

[Holloway searches for any hints in the flyer that this is something under the lord's influence.]

[sits at one of the bar stools, tapping my nails against the table] So is it safe enough?

[Holloway deliberates before sighing.]

Are you planning on going alone?

I mean, I was. But I can go with someone if you want me to.

I would. This close to Halloween it's better to not go anywhere alone.

Ok. Who do you want me to go with?

Someone who'd you'd have fun with first of all. And secondly someone whose aware of the strangeness of Hatchetfield and has some idea of how to defend themself.

… what if you come with me?

[Holloway smiles.]

I'd love to hun.

[smiles] Yay! When can we go?

Is your homework done?

you know me, finished it at school.

Then we can go now if you want.

Alright! [grabs my backpack and pulls my bracelet on] Let’s go!
