“ OH C’MON, it’s not that bad ! ” it actually was. wind was periodically blowing gust of air throughout island hinting at the on coming storm that was nearly begging to break through. sloane took a squint to the sky , cupping a hand over her brows to look up at the growing darkness and the roll of thick clouds starting to cluster together. “ I mean, it’s bad, but it’s not that bad ! we’ve seen worst. ” she took a moment to look down at the person beside her with a tilted head, beach curls spilling at her shoulders. “ or at least I’ve seen worst, how ‘ bout you ? ”
“looks like a storm might be coming in.” the clerk notes simply, eyes narrowing as he looks over at the sky with darkening spots peaking out amongst he clouds. “hopefully no one’s in the water when it hits. or if it hits.”
“ that’s a big hope. you know people love to surf a good surge. ” she was perusing the little knick knacks that the store had to offer on the counter that held the register , flicking through cheap key-chains and fishing jigs just for the hell of it. “ I mean, if I wanted to get struck by lightin’ I’d personally go and hide a under tree,” though she wasn’t necessarily opposed to watching said surfers go out and hit the waves for the night. once she’s done picking through about every variation of goodies her brown eyes could spot, sloane leaned over the counter by her elbows and raised a look up to matty. “ so, you guys closing early ? ”
[ madison bailey, twenty-one, she/her ] can you hear [ lovers by anna of the north ] playing in the background? that’s gotta be [ sloane cooper ] coming out of the marsh. apparently [ she ] has been around the island for [ her whole life ]. and while sometimes they can be kind of [ incorrigible & impatient ], once you get to know them, they’re pretty [ hard-working & optimistic ]. you can tell they’re a [ pogue ] by the [ thick beach hair, coconut body mist, and mason jars stuffed with tip money ]
!!! sup, my name is a victoria buuuuut errr-body calls me vic ( she / her ) . I don’t like long walks on the beach but pina coladas are pretty cool !! I’m a trash - panda at intros so this might not be very good !! hopefully this covers enough to get the gist of things ago while I work on nico. plus we can always talk about other details during plotting (:
k , cool. here goes nothing
S L O A N E
▴meet sloane cooper. sloane to kooks, coop to the pogues. a well known local who is almost always seen either working at the local beachfront joint ( tony’s crab shack ) as a waitress or selling homemade smoothies in the morning near the surf shops on the weekends. being a pogue isn’t always easy and this girl, despite being vocally proud of her roots, is desperate for something more. she’s got jars filled with money hidden in various parts of her room because she swears one day she’s going to get out of her parents’ tiny little shack and move into one of those mcmanisons somewhere in the 8. a girl can dream !
▴she’s lived here her whole entire life and can def tell you all the best routes for when you need to make it somewhere on the island quick. or she’ll just pick you up in her crappy little car and take you there herself. although most people probably won’t recommend it cos while coop is smooth and agile in the water when it comes to surfing the girl is well ( and maybe even most notoriously ) known as The Worst driver. there’s def a rumor going around that coop paid off her driver instructor somewhere among the cut.
▴ has been working at tony’s since she turned eighteen. loves it there and makes decent tips. her dad also works there as a cook, famous for his seafood boil. her mom married into a kook family when bbygirl turned fifteen. hasn’t really spoken to her much since unless the crab shack happens to be catering a party in the 8. whatever is going on with her mom, coop doesn’t know. or she does and just refuses to talk about it.
▴ I’m probably going to keep adding onto this as I develop her more ?? I can see her fitting into a few connections that I’ve seen already from other characters buuuuut listed below are some that I specifically would love to have for her
CONNECTION IDEAS
┅ kook best friend / so I’m thinking that for a majority of coop’s younger life she typically hung out with her normal, regular everyday group of friends but then when her mom got remarried ( and while she was still willing to visit her ) she ended up making a really close connection with someone there during the long forced weekends with the new fam. this person would have really show coop a different side of the 8 and would have jump started coop’s little mental mission to start saving money so she could at least fit in while visited. then after things went sour with her mom this connection sort of just fizzled out. they still follow each other on social media, wave to each other if they ever cross paths buuut that’s about it. we love awkward friendships here.
┅ pogue friends / coming soon. self explanatory tho ?? give her the solid friendships she deserves. would love a tight group for coop.
┅ regulars from tony’s or the smoothie shop / since coop works a lot I’ddd love her to have connections with people she has met / currently meeting. this is obviously vvvv open to both pogues, kooks, and tourists. we can talk about coop’s service skills during plotting
ok, that’s it for now. def don’t want ramble too much !! but this is all I got for my gal, I’ll be looking at intros and shizz for the rest of the night ! hit me up on here or on discord to get some plots rolllllliinnnnnn !!
