“LOCK the door then,” beatrice scoffs, floorboards creaking under her boots as the door drifts closed behind her. “—keeps vagabonds like myself from drifting in.” or not really — she does know how to pick a lock.

she’s here for— well it doesn’t matter all that much; she’s an employee, she can do what she likes. gaze wonders around the now familiar shop, fingers drifting over miscellaneous items as she draws closer to her co-worker. “you might want to move that a bit to the left,” she adds off-hand, a slight frown on her face as head tilts slightly. “bad things could happen.”

“well, trixy,” replied with faux scorn, finally turning his head a quarter “i was busy reshelving all this stuff i couldn’t be bothered with the lock. if only i had a coworker to help me out with that sort of thing.” shaking his head he turned back to the old objects he hardly wanted to be bothered with.

“look, if you want them to be moved so badly, come over here and do it, yeah? i can’t be bothered unfortunately for you, i suppose.” he added while placing the last go-back onto the shelf a little too forcibly, making sure it was out of place just to annoy beatrice.

the final gruesome hours of russell’s shift at the antique shop were coming to a close so he could finally head home and lay the fuck out with a blunt and whatever ridiculous sitcom was playing on the telly tonight. every day that passes by, he contemplates completely quitting this job, but then remembers his whole drug issue depends on him having some kind of steady income.

he was replacing the final misplaces item when he heard the door chime, ‘oi, we’re closed,’ russ called out without even turning to the person.

ok hey everyone, this is my child russell (or russ lol) and i’m very excited for this ! continue reading for a very brief backstory and mssg me if u tryna smash plot

╰ °✧ ( RYHS PICKERING, CISMALE, TWENTY-THREE, HE/HIM/HIS ) : — ❝ here comes russell moore to help guide the tour ! they’ve lived in deadmore for four yearsand don’tknow that the myth is true. besides helping guide you all today, they are also a cashier at aunt mays antiques ! they’re known around town for being humorous, compassionate, skeptical, and secretive. they’re said to give off a worn out doc martens, a half sleeve of tattoos and dark humorvibe. some people suspect that they're hiding raised in foster care. hopefully the town and tourists don’t find out ! ❞ — penned by (j, she/her/hers, 19, est )

ok so basically

russ was born in manchester and lived there until he was 18 so yeah he still got that accent lol

during the entirety of his childhood, he bounced from foster care to group home back to foster home and he’s encountered all sorts of ppl and bad shit along the way which had led him to being rough around the edges

he doesn’t tell anyone about his past in the uk bc he wanted to run from it

hence why he moved all the way to georgia to go to kennesaw state when he turned 18. he was pretty clueless about all things american college and he didn’t realize how poor he actually was so ended up dropping out after a semester

this is when he moved to deadwood, and has been working odd jobs since just trying to make rent

rn he is a cashier at the antiques shop but he has a secret passion for writing/poetry and he does that whenever he has free time

basically, he picked up a terrible habit of smoking cigarettes and drinking when he was 16 and hasn’t been able to stop since. but during that semester at college, he picked up weed and pills.

he is a very humorous person on the outside, but on the inside he’s holding so much shit in especially the fact that he never had a permanent home/parents (nobody knows this except ppl he’s really close to)

so that’s the basics, i know it’s not much but hopefully it’ll help us develop good plots some stuff i’d love to see are:

best friend

enemy/someone who he can’t stand or can’t stand him (this is very likely as his humor tends to rub ppl the wrong way and he’s unapologetic about that)

ex that ended badly

BLACKMAIL - so this can be anything like russ could be blackmailing ur character or the other way around. it doesn’t have to be like “oh im gonna kill u if u don’t do this” but can still be interesting so hmu if u think this could work

ex with unresolved feelings

f.w.b/e.w.b (also, russ is bi so let's get into that tea)

drunken one night stand

co-worker

flirtationship

anything with angst

anyyyyways lmk if ur down to plot, my inbox is open af :)
