[rollo-in-the-wild]

ROLLO MOORE: 29 years old, graphic designer, demi-boy they/he, shy and playful and basically a dog. Born out of wedlock but didn’t realise it until they were much older. They’ve lived in Roswell until they were about sixteen, when they moved away with their dad. They’ve returned recently and moved back into Tripp’s Trailerpark.  penned by Nico

BIOGRAPHY (summary)

Rollo was born the illegitimate son of Richard Moore and a woman they never got to know. Growing up however, Rollo thought they were full sibling of the other siblings. It didn’t matter that they looked completely different. They figured it out slowly, and when their parents divorced, Rollo was the only one to go with their father. They cut most of their ties to their family and while they wanted to become a vet, they became a graphic designer instead. They returned to Roswell to help the family take care of their mother, but she clearly didn’t want them to. They recently changed their name from Spruce (the name their not-mom gave them) to Rollo.

it was ironic that he had managed to score a job at the circus tent , given his irrational fear of clowns . the moment he was able to break away from the ticket booth and excuse himself from the cackling , red-nosed abominations he had done so gladly , carrying his proton pack slung over one shoulder to ensure nobody swiped such an integral part to his own outfit . when he was ‘ working ‘ the beige jumpsuit had to be stripped of all identifiers and , instead , he was gently encouraged to wear one of those helicopter hats , spinning a rainbow in the october winds .

“ hey , buddy !! “ the male called once rollo was in sight , having not seen nor heard from the illegitimate moore since the closure of the pride festival , “ oh , don’t worry about that — i’m not particularly interested in scaring myself shitless tonight . my allocation is scary enough . how’s your evening going ?? “

“A true disappointment,” Rollo said, though they very much understood, they had chosen this thing mostly so they didn’t have to go through any of the other activities, it was much easier to be able to turn away from it all if they said they had to do some shifts. “I like your hat,” they said with a grin.

       “  shit,  for real ?  ”     that’s not disappointment in her timbre ,   it’s the sound of relief,  being denied entry after barely getting the guts to buy a ticket  ?    it was heaven.     “  have you gone through it yourself yet or are you also completely sane  ?    i feel like paying to get the shit scared out of you is like this close,  ”   shown by slight space between two fingers,   “  to being qualified for the DSM - 5.   at least when you’re sober.  ”

Rollo chuckled, then shook their head. “Nope, I work there,” they said, taking a short moment to pretend they were a demon, setting out their claws. “Though honestly, it’s not so scary, it’s like… the least scary of all of these, the other places truly have some people going all out,” they added. “DSM-5? That’s familiar but I have no idea what it means.”

closed starter for: rollo moore ( @rollo-in-the-wild​ )

     “ you literally followed me out of the building. aren’t you supposed to be, you know, scaring people back in there? ” raina pointed behind the ‘demon’ at what she had just come out of. she had just gone through this ‘hide and clap’ type thing, most likely inspired by the first ‘the conjuring’ where they played it a few times. “ i must know you for you to be following me. ” raina let out a laugh as she looked over at the demon. she knew a few of her friends were working here tonight. however, she was so busy trying to figure this person out, she couldn’t exactly think of who this person could be at the moment.

Rollo only had half enough of confidence for all of this, they were too often busy with wondering what people thought of them, especially as one of the Moores, as a generally considered outcast.

But hiding in the form of a Demon, it was much easier to have fun. They had great fun pretending, to scare people and to laugh around with them. They chuckled when Raina tried to guess who they were. The outfit and paint were far more well done than they had anticipated. “you do know me,” they said, grinning their demon grin. “But you have to guess.”

halloween event @roswellstarters​

Rollo had attached their demon tail to the fanny pack they were wearing. It was currently hidden beneath the shirt of their outfit. Their face was painted red and black, and the rest of their body had matching colours. They didn’t think they looked perfectly the part, but in the dark nobody cared, as long as you played it well. And it was easy to scare people who knew they were going to be scared. 

“Hi, hello, Uhm, we’re closed for thirty so everyone can grab some food,” they said when someone walked up to the closed ticket booth.

who: open  where: outside the wild pony 

the faded grey hoodie—plucked off the peg by the door where it’d been hanging for months, maybe even years before she claimed it—dwarfs her, with sleeves that dangle well past her hands and enough room to fit two or three of her within the zipper. it does the trick though, blocking out the slight chill as she fishes her box of cigarettes from the pocket and pushes outside. the weather’s shifting, only noticeable at night, though that seems to be the only time she finds herself outside. or awake at all, really. her body loosens with the first inhale, enough to notice someone else leaning against her usual spot, near a crack in the sidewalk that kind of looks like a face, especially when she’s been drinking. “what are you in for?” she drolls by way of greeting, taking up the space next to them instead and letting the smoke curl up to the stars. 

Rollo wasn’t one for going out, they rarely did so, and even tonight, they hadn’t even entered the Wild Pony, instead having been walking their dogs late and straying far away from home thinking about things. They loved those types of walks. Reynolds and Rufus were smelling some garbage can and they were waiting for them to finish. “Oh, not really in for anything,” they said, “I’m walking those two,” they said, pointing at the dogs.

“i work at feel good records, you should stop by sometime. have you got a record player?” she replies. she listens, quirking a brow, “oh wow, what a random colour scheme. i’m kinda here for it though” a laugh falls from her lips, “nap-time? that’s a bit of a weird name for a restaurant, what kinda food are they selling? i wanna visit this place” 

“Oh, nice! Uhm, no, I don’t, I… uhm, well, I like music, but I don’t listen to anything specific really, I think Emmett probably has a record player though, so I’ll come by, regardless!” Rollo said with a wink. “I’ve always dreamt of designing an album.” They grinned. “It’s a very weird name for a restaurant. So, the whole idea they have is that they sell the type of food that makes you sleepy, like, the idea of wanting to nap after dinner, they want to create that feeling,” they said. “Which… well, I think they should probably also put some beds and chairs in their restaurant if that’s what they want,” they said with a chuckle.

Reyna was outside of their element. This was so different from any first date they’ve been on before. Tinder was known to be a wasteland of booty calls and hyperactive egos, one that admittedly Reyna contributed to. Never once did they expect to find someone like Rollo, who actually seemed nice - sweet even. The other’s suggestion to go to a farm and pick some sunflowers had come as a surprise for them. Even more surprising was the fact that Reyna actually agreed. To be honest, they couldn’t remember the last time they went on a proper date, one where sleeping together wasn’t the end game  They weren’t sure why they agreed to come on such a wholesome date, but one thing was clear: Reyna was having a blast, having been a mix of squeals and giggles their entire tour around the petting zoo.  Even now they were walking ahead of Rollo, a childlike splendor in their eyes as they got on their tippy toes and tried to take a look at the goats while their date took a look at the timetable. They turned to look at Rollo when they spoke, offering an enthusiastic nod at the suggestion. “Sure! That sounds like a great idea.” Reyna replied with a smile, before turning their sights on when the next ride would arrive. Five minute. Easy. “So Rollo, you said you’re a graphic designer, right? What made you get into that?” 

Rollo grinned at Reyna watched the goats, it was nice, it was pretty cute in a sense, they wondered if they were perhaps over doing this whole date thing. They didn’t normally hang out with people from Tinder, those were always after just one thing. The one thing Rollo didn’t enjoy just out of nowhere, they loved to fall in love, to fall for someone, to have that moment where they wanted to be in someone else’s company so badly that it was almost impossible to be without them. And mostly now, they wanted to get to know someone and pet some animals. “Alright! Five minutes, though I am guessing we can sit down earlier,” they said, staring at them, then back at the goats. “Oh uhm, yes, I’m a Graphic Designer. I think I was always pretty good at drawing and all that, and my dad suggested I should do something with it, he helped me get my first clients. And you’re an actor, right?”

[rollo-in-the-wild]

Rollo didn’t go on many dates, they couldn’t remember even the last time that they had taken someone with them. Weren’t even sure if it had happened in Roswell or not. It could’ve not. They bit their lip as they walked behind Reyna towards the goat pen, they had seen about most of what there was to see, and were now headed to the goats. They had suggested this date, because while a movie or a restaurant were the basic things they heard, the petting zoo was free. And so were the sunflowers, the little cart that brought you there was standing waiting next to the goats. He looked at the timetable. “Wanna head here first? And come back for the goats later?” He asked. They’d been confused when Reyna accepted their idea for a date, tinder wasn’t the spot for wholesome dates, probably why Rollo’s matches on there never went beyond the screen. ( @lcvity​ )

❝ but your parents had a whole litter . that’s a lot of sharing . ❞ and not much to share . being a social butterfly , childhood was never as lonely as one would expect . she was happy that her parents didn’t pro-create beyond her , and never envied the moore’s situations . ❝ we can do snacks . that’s a must anyway . and i’m totally getting those letter balloons to spell out your name , and you can’t stop me . who are you thinking of for the guest list ?? ❞

Rollo laughed. “Oh yes, it was a lot of sharing,” they admitted. “I didn’t mind that much,” they said. “I had my own things too, or well, I had things I didn’t have to share, because luckily we had some different interests,” they said. They smiled back at Juni, appreciatively, happily, that anyone would entertain this for them. “Uhmmmm, Olivia, for sure, and Riley,” they started. “I think Aylin would love to come as well, maybe Elliot, once I tell him I’ve changed my name that is. Who else…”

Mei’s gaze moved to said roof and she frowned thoughtfully. “Yeah… well I’ll deal with that when to comes to it,” she said. Even though it obviously wouldn’t ever. She huffed out a breath, moving to help Rollo with the desk, not wanting to leave them to deal with it all alone. “Very fancy. Probably too fancy for me. But a girl can dream, right?” She dreamt a lot. “Would you move elsewhere again do you think?”

-

Rollo continued to laugh, though their voice a bit strained now as they pushed and pulled. Slowly they were making progress however, it wasn’t easy, but they just needed the right angle for it. “Oef, nice, okay, now we just need to get it back down, can you push your weight onto the back, then I’ll set it down here.” They pondered the question for a moment. “I don’t know, maybe in Europe somewhere… uhm, like Amsterdam or Berlin,” they suggested.

olivia was interested to know what the other had been up to, the last time they spoke was a couple of months a go, with the pizza mix-up. “that actually sounds pretty cool. really? what’s the project, something fun?“ olivia replies, “i’ve just been working all summer, it’s not been that exciting, but at least i’ve got some cash saved”.

“What job did you do?” Rollo asked, hosting up their backpack more over their shoulder. They shrugged in response. “I’m designing the menu and the look for a new restaurant in town, they wanted something purple and pink. They want me to think of a name as well, but I’m not as great at those. It’s currently called Nap-time.”

LOCATION: roswell high-street

olivia was on her way home from a shift at work, it had been a long day and she was glad it was all over. she was in her own little world, until she saw rollo, a grin comes across her lips, “hey!”. she’d not seen them in a little while, which was a shame, “how have things been with you?” she asks, curious to know what had been going on with him, “it’s been a minute since we last saw each other”. 

Rollo had been lost in thought, but the ‘hey’ combined with the clear sound of her voice, made them look up. They grinned a grin of their own and offered a little wave until they were close enough. “It’s been a minute,” they agreed. “Uhm, nothing much actually, I feel like it’s been a chill summer, I’m just heading somewhere to grab a coffee and finish a project. You?”

sorgraves​:

soren can’t help but laugh at rollo’s comment, giving them a half grin, “yeah, sorry. i tend to ramble a lot of space, don’t i?” it was easy for soren to throw random tidbits of  space out there when rollo was around because they always allowed him the chance to ramble freely, which he greatly appreciated. still, he worried he sometimes either bored them or rambled too long by mistake. as he opened the door to pizza planet soren gave them a playful eye roll, “as if i’d ever pass up the chance to spoil you.” he walked in after them, walking up to the line, luckily they only had one person ahead of them. “what are you in the mood for, babe? i’m open to anything, except anchovies. i just don’t find the idea of them on pizza all that appeals. i’m sorry if you’re an anchovies kinda person, i hope you can forgive me.” a pause before he looks over at the arcade machines, “also, we’re playing a round of street fighter.”

-

“It’s okay,” Rollo assured Soren with a smile. “You know I don’t mind all the facts, makes me wish I had something I was into that I could talk about all the time,” then he chuckled. “Aside from dogs.” They shook their head with a grin, they had the types of friends who liked to talk a lot, it was the type of friend that stayed the longest, because Rollo didn’t always know what to talk about, and they loved listening. “I am not an anchovies person, luckily for you, honestly, I would probably eat everything except for those uhm… I think it’s octopus? The sea pizza, I don’t like that one.” They followed Soren’s gaze to the arcade machines. “Sure, I’ll have you know I improved nothing since last time, you’ll have to re-explain the buttons to me.”

wyliefms​:

when it came to being part of the shitty parents club, wylie knew that she and rollo were somewhere at the top of the list. she never understood how the people that raised her could pick and choose a favorite amongst their two daughters, but the moment she’d become aware of it, she did her best to separate herself. these days wylie relied on her found family to keep her going, and with a friend like rollo in her life, how could she ever go wrong? “i could probably make them in just a couple hours if i focus hard enough. i’ve had to postpone classes for the time being because i have too many doctor visits and the constant class interruptions were making my students hostile.” though she chuckled as she said this, the noise was more forlorn than anything. “do you wanna come by my apartment later? we can watch a movie while i craft the perfect puppy accessories.”

Rollo chuckled, though the knowledge that Wylie was going to the doctor so often did make him worried. If anything, they wished they could do more for her, be there, if they knew how to dance, they would probably take over classes. But they figured being there would be enough for now. And since they never had any real business hours and could work whenever and wherever, it was easy to be there for a friend. “If you ever need someone to come with you to the doctor… you know where to find me,” he said, nodding at her while Rufus came sprinting towards them and threw himself on his back to receive scratches. “Of course,” he said, grinning. “Any movie in mind?” He asked.

❝ you’re so cute . okay , enough about work though . ❞ hand waves , just enough to dismiss the topic and focus on the more fun one - a party . ❝ that’s so fucked . your family makes me glad i don’t have siblings . ❞ from what she heard from friends with brothers , sisters and the like , there wasn’t much good she was missing out on . the brunette soaked up every second of being an only child , enjoying the attention of both of her parents , always . ❝ how do we feel about edibles ?? my dad grows some pretty decent stuff , and i could whip something up with that . nothing too crazy - keep it chill and casual . ❞ 

Rollo smiled and shrugged. They sometimes felt like they had siblings, but only for those first years of their life, as soon as they moved away with the father that everyone hated, it was like being cut-off. And becoming an only child. Not that that was easy, but it hadn’t been harder either. There was more weight to do well, but there was also more freedom, to be themselves, to not fall in the same crib as their siblings. They didn't do terrible things, they were just like everyone else. “It was fun when I was a child,” they said. “Edibles?” He laughed, figuring he did come off as a goody-two-shoes to most people, despite the family name. “That sounds good, actually. I’d like a more chill party. We could have some food tasting after, I know I get really hungry from edibles usually.”

“all i’m saying is, space is fuckin’ insane! did you know that the universe has the same temperature everywhere? no, seriously!”  soren had a way with getting excited over the smallest of things, especially if those things involved space facts. he loved to read up on random things like that, which is probably why his true crime tik tok account kicked off so easily. “but if you think that’s insane, you should hear the crazy, weird shit about the ocean. i won’t get into that because it kind of freaks me out just thinking about it, but it’s also crazy.” he was the kind of guy who fell in love three times a week and was also heartbroken all three times, so it should’ve came to no surprise that he loved the world around him. sure he wanted to set fire to half the dumpsters he saw, but he didn’t see anything wrong with a little harmless pyro fun. “anyway, are you going to join me at pizza planet or what? i told you i’d pay! how much more sweeter can a deal get?”

Rollo grinned in response. The ocean and the universe both scared them, but Soren got in such a hype that they really couldn’t say no to him. They let him talk about whatever weird thing they had come up with, shaking their head at the weird ocean facts. “Yes, let’s not get into that, you know that freaks me out too,” he said with a laugh. “You’ve been talking about space for twenty minutes now, I had completely forgotten that,” he joked. “Sure, sure, I’ll join you, you really don’t have to pay you know, I’d gladly buy my own pizza.”
