Sophia Prescott

What's up? The name is Sophia Prescott, and I don't expect you'll forget it. I'm a Veterinary Technician at Paws and Claws in Charming, California.

Flashing a smile, Sophia leaned over the booth’s front to take the giant zebra she’d managed to win. “Thanks! I’ve had my eye on this all day!” Beaming, she turned away from the booth, making her way back towards the BBQ. Looking over her prize, she ran through a list of potential names in her head, taking only a moment to feel silly for still naming her stuffed animals. “Jimmy. Definitely Jimmy.” Glancing around, she took in all the happy couples shuffling past, scoffing softly to herself. “Welp, Jimmy, looks like it’s just me and you.” Without looking up, Sophia continued her walk. Suddenly, she felt herself slam into someone she’d managed to walk in front of. “Oh! I’m so sorry! I definitely need to pay more attention! Are you alright?”

“It’s four dollars individually or three for ten dollars for hotdogs, you can have either cheese, onions or jalapenos with ketchup or mustard and oh my god i’m boring myself just talking about it….” she trailed off, wondering whose ass she forgot to kiss to end up being put on bbq duty. It was Valentines day, which also meant her birthday and even though she had no intention on making that little tidbit known, she at least wanted to spend it nose deep in a bottle of jack. Not flipping burgers like a pre-teen for all of Charming’s residents.

Sophia smiled, listening as the woman gave her speech regarding the price of hotdogs. Nodding, her eyes scanned the spread at the stand in front of her. Pulling her wallet from her purse, she plucked a $5 bill from the folds, offering it to the other. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m not exactly a meat-eater. I will gladly take one of those lemonades, though. Unless, of course, you have a soy or tofu option?”

“Fuck yeah! That’s what I’m talking about!“ Cliff said, letting out whoops as he successfully managed to bring down the third pile of old milk bottles with a baseball, which gave him the chance to win the biggest plush toy out of the prizes. “Oh shit, wait–” Cliff started to say, about to explain that he didn’t even want it, just literally played the game for the sake of playing but the attendant was already on to the next customer, causing Cliff to look around, standing there awkwardly with a huge panda stuffed toy under his arm. “Say, you want this?” He asked suddenly, opting to soften the randomness with a sheepish smile. “No catch, but I, uh, I didn’t expect to win it and so I’m giving it away, all in the spirit of Valentine’s or whatnot, right?”

Exploring the Valentine’s Day festivities wasn’t something Sophia had planned on doing- not fully, anyway, But, the draw of the flashing lights, the music, and really the nostalgia of it all had gotten to her, drawing her out. As she made her way through the aisle of games, she stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound of a familiar voice. “Me?” She asked curiously, cocking an eyebrow as her eyes fell to the large plushie under Cliff’s arm. “So we meet again. Wild circumstances.” She laughed, her eyes falling momentarily to the ground before reconnecting with his once more. “You sure there isn’t someone special you’d rather give that to? I mean, I’m just the weird girl from the bar, right?” Sophia teased, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.

Andy made a face at the thought of upending her routine. “Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to exist during the day like everyone else but it’s not practical for me to go back and forth. I know some people who do it and that’s crazy to me. I’d never figure out a sleep schedule.” Glad to be done with her residency for a few years now, Andy could still remember the endless hours and grueling schedules. She took another sip of her coffee before reaching for the little bowl with sugar packets, emptying half of a brown sugar one into her drink and watching the crystals dissolve as Sophia spoke. 

“I know how that feels. Believe me.” When she’d moved to California with her mom, she’d been homesick for New York, and then when she went to college on the east coast, she’d missed California and her mom. And now that she was back on the west coast, she felt that familiar pull east. “I feel like there’s always parts of home that pull you in its direction, you know?” She gave the other woman a reassuring smile, “it gets better. And the fitting in thing –– I dunno. Always felt a bit overrated.” 

“Hey, I get it, you don’t owe me an explanation for sure. I’m just glad we’re actually getting to see each other, and to spend some time together.” Nodding, Sophia listened as Andy continued speaking. “Oh, yeah, no, that’s totally insane, no reason for that at all. I, for one, value my sleep far too much. I know you’re the same. Sophia watched as the other woman emptied the sugar into her coffee cup, taking a quick glance out the window to her right. Knowing she had a friend who could relate helped, though it didn’t work to completely dissolve her feelings of homesickness. “Yeah, you’re right about that. It’s just strange, you know? I moved out here to get away from all that. To see what else there is, outside of living in a small, southern town where all that matters is how you look and what your last name is. I just...Wanted to be able to breathe. But sometimes I wonder if here is really any different.” Sighing, Sophia did her best to keep her composure. After all this time, her mother’s voice still spoke to her from the back of her mind. A lady never cries in public. Stop those tears, tilt that chin, and remember that you are fine, just fine. “A quality I admire about you, Andy. I don’t know why I’ve spent my life so desperate to fit in. I think about it sometimes, but...Maybe that’s something else to explore. To think about. Maybe it has something to do with how I was raised.” Cocking an eyebrow, Sophia offered the other woman a quick smirk before shaking her head. “But, enough of the sad shit. How are things over at the hospital?” She asked, reaching for her water glass.

“The pleasure of speaking,” Cliff repeated with a smirk. Of course, with his luck, he’d be seated next to someone who didn’t get it, let alone who was actually there. He didn’t actually know if that was a good thing or not, but it definitely wasn’t what he was expecting. “Why do you talk like that? Like you’re some kind of princess or at a really important job interview. We’re at a bar in the middle of a small ass town, for Christ’s sake,” Cliff said, letting out a laugh before tilting the neck of his beer in her direction. “Name’s Cliff. Cliff Kilman,” he replied, following the way she introduced herself before shrugging. “I take it you haven’t been here in Charming long then. Why does this town have the pleasure of your presence?”

Raising her eyebrows, Sophia tilted her head slightly, a smirk making its way across her face. “I said what I said, yes.” She replied, crossing her arms across her chest as she leaned back in her chair. “I’m no princess, and this certainly isn’t a job interview. My Mama raised me to be as polite as possible, especially until you’re aware of who it is you’re speaking to. For all I know, you’re the owner of this establishment. Or the mayor, Though, judging by your response I’ll take a gander and say neither of those apply in this situation. Make no mistake, though. I may speak formally, but that doesn’t mean that can’t change. Quickly.” Smiling, her eyes fell to the beer the man was holding before reconnecting with his own gaze. “Pleasure to meet you, Cliff. No, I haven’t, you’re correct.” Despite feeling uncertain as to whether or not she should be offended, Sophia couldn’t help but to chuckle when her own verbiage was mirrored. “Work, really. I filled the open Veterinary Technician position at Paws and Claws. Outside of that...I don’t know. I suppose it was just...High time for a change. I’m not generally one to make assumptions, but I’m willing to bet you’ve been around Charming for a while. Are you from here?”

The man rubbed a hand against his forehead, turning to meet the face behind the voice, looking her up and down before returning to look at the spot in front of him. He didn’t particularly know why feeling someone’s eyes on him had annoyed him so much, but he knew that it was probably because he usually associated it with someone trying to start a fight with him. “People make mistakes, I’m sure it won’t happen,” he replied, summoning the bartender so he could order another drink. “You want one? On me?” 

“Well, I appreciate the understanding.” Sophia replied, shaking her head slightly as she brought a palm up to rest on her forehead. At the offer of another drink, she looked up, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. “That’s very generous of you to offer. Sure, beer is fine. I’ve never been one for the hard stuff.” Shifting a bit, she turned more towards the man. “I’m Sophia Prescott, I’m fairly new in town. I don’t believe I’ve seen you around. What’s your name?”

Andy took another bite of her pancakes before setting her fork down on the ceramic plate as she chewed. She’d had some good pancakes before, been to some good diners too, but even she had to admit these were some of the best she’d had. Taking a sip of her coffee (decaf, because she wasn’t crazy), Andy waved off the question with a laugh. “I’m on nights for the next month so I’d rather not mess up my schedule, you know? By going to bed now and having to be up tomorrow night.” She grabbed one of the strawberries from the side of her plate, biting into. “I’m glad you could make it but also…I could ask you the same question, Soph. Any reason you’re kicking it at midnight?”

Despite the hour, Sophia was grateful to have the company of her friend. Due t their inverted schedules, she and Andy didn’t get many chances to see each other. Smiling, she took a sip of her water as the woman across from her explained. “That makes sense. Messing up a routine sucks, and I know how hard it is to get back into that schedule. Overnights are tough anyway.” She sighed, remembering her times working overnights at her previous animal hospital. “I feel you.” Hearing Andy return the question should’ve been expected, though it wasn’t necessarily one Sophia had planned on discussing in-depth. Shrugging, she pushed the remnants of her meal around the plate with her fork. “No real reason, I guess. Maybe I’m just a little homesick. I don’t know...” Sighing, she brought her fist up to rest under her chin. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s great here. And I’m glad I did this. Moved out on my own, you know? But...Sometimes, I don’t get the sense I’m fitting very well.” Sophia admitted.

Nik nods and laughs softly. “Yeah, nice little adrenaline rush before your casual peruse.” He sighs and rolls his eyes at the sight, watching people trying to pry the women apart. “Sorry about this. Maybe I should install sprinklers or something. Hose people down out here when things get out of hand.” A smile and a turn of his head as he seriously considers it. “I wonder if that’s legal…” He thinks to himself out loud. “Did you know what you were getting or are you just going to have a look around? If you know I can at least check inventory on my phone if you don’t want to finish the lovely show here.” NIk points passively at the crowd. “I know it’s kind of early so this might not have been penciled into your schedule. Personally haven’t even had my coffee yet,” he sighs.

“Oh, definitely. Usually I prefer my adrenaline rushes to come from things like roller coasters, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers I guess.” Smiling, Sophia shifted her weight, placing the bags she was carrying carefully onto the sidewalk next to her. “No need to apologize. I’m guessing you didn’t orchestrate this. You know,” Sophia said, “At the clinic we keep an air horn on hand in case of dog fights. Just set that baby off one good time, and it startles the dogs into stopping. Maybe that’s would work here, too. And, I’m pretty positive that’d be cheaper than sprinkler installation.” She joked. “Oh, I was just coming to browse, really. I’m fairly new in town myself, and haven’t had a chance to really check everything out yet. It is pretty early but, I don’t mind. I guess this is just another charming fixture of...Well, Charming. If you’re in need of coffee, I wouldn’t mind to run down the street and grab some. I could use a chai tea myself.”

“i did get that feeling that you are more understanding,” she said after a moment,” and thank god i am not alone with my weird habits.” genesis let out a small laugh and shrugged,” we are on the same page with that too.” she knew that most people would want to avoid going to the ER if they could help it. she was shrugging as she glanced towards the wine on the shelves before glancing back at her,” i suppose i do but they don’t know that i used to sneak some of their booze.” it seemed that they grew up in rather different households. she was leaning back against the cart after they shook hands. she put on a slight smile and nodded,” you’re welcome,” she said after a moment, taking her hand back,” it is different here.” she wasn’t surprised at the question but she was shaking her head,” i was born here, didn’t grow up but i moved back about seven years ago?” sometimes it felt like longer if you asked her. 

“Glad to know I give off that vibe, then.” Sophia beamed. “Oh, no, definitely not. It’s funny, we walk around so concerned about other people thinking we’re strange or weird when the reality is, with so many other people on the planet...Well, I guess that’s just to say we’re more alike than we think.” Dipping her head, Sophia cleared her throat and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. At hearing Genesis admit to sneaking some of her parents’ alcohol, Sophia’s eyebrows shot up. “Wow! I’ll tell you, even if there would have been alcohol in my house, I’m not sure I would have ever been brave enough to try any of it. Then again, my Mom had me convinced booze of any kind was Satan’s juice...I just mean, that was definitely brave of you. And, you were obviously good at the sneaking game if they still don’t know.” A slight blush made its way across Sophia’s cheeks as she realized she was rambling. She was grateful when the other woman provided an answer to her previous question, something she held onto to try and dig herself out of the hole she’d talked herself into. “So you moved away, then back huh? Mind if I ask where you moved to? I don’t mean to pry, I just...I guess I haven’t really had the chance to talk to too many people. Human connection, and all that.” Sophia laughed.

1.) what’s your muse’s favorite album of all time / favorite artist?           -Sophia couldn’t pick a favorite album if she tried, though her favorite artist is Janelle Monáe. 

12.) do they prefer sleeping alone or with someone else?           -Really it depends on her mood, she doesn’t mind sleeping alone, necessarily. Though, it has been quite some time since she shared a bed with anyone, and would greatly enjoy that at this point. 

22.) do they have a fear they want to conquer, but haven’t yet?            -She’s in the process of conquering her fear currently. Having been under her family’s thumb for so long, she was afraid to go out on her own, despite her desire to explore. However, in moving to Charming she’s overcoming that fear, though that homesickness does still get to her sometimes. 

32.) do they critique others easily? do they judge from afar?           -No, Sophia does neither of those things. Despite the stereotypes surrounding where and how she was raised, she does her absolute best not to pass judgement. She prefers others not do it to her, and therefore understands it is inappropriate to do it to others.

favorite season and why?

Most definitely Spring. Everything is just...Fresh. New. I love seeing all the flowers beginning to bloom. Nature changing is gorgeous, if you ask me. And, the Spring months are the perfect temperatures. Not too hot, not too cold. That’s super important.

Looking up, Ana immediately recognized the face and flashed the other woman a warm smile. “Hey, nice to see you again too!”, she patted Loki’s back, making him sit. “I’ve been doing well, managed to get more sleep now. And you? Oh, I’m just browsing and buy him a new toy, again for the third time this month. What about you? Do you have a dog as well?”

Sophia returned Ana’s smile, stepping towards her as she reached her hand out for Loki to sniff, giving him a pat on the head once he’d licked her palm. “Good! That’s great to hear! I’ve been doing alright, just really trying to...Get myself on track, I guess. Even though I’ve been here for three months, I’m realizing I still don’t know many people. I’m trying to, you know, do the branching out thing.” She shrugged with a laugh. “Oh gosh, sounds like someone’s a chewer. Makes sense, though. How old is he? I’d be happy to make a couple of recommendations, if you’d like?” Sophia offered, turning to scan the shelves of toys before her. “Me? Oh, I don’t. Well, not here. I’m looking to change that, though, I-” Gesturing to her scrubs, she brought her eyes back up to meet Ana’s. “I actually work here. I’m the Veterinary Technician!”

Gunner picked his drink up from the bar, taking a sip as he cast his eyes to the countertop. It had been a long day, sometimes he needed a drink, in fact, most days he needed a drink. The man hated being alone, but he also hated being around loads of people, so travelling to a bar to sit on his own seemed like the only option. Though, it did often end up with him picking a fight with whomever he thought deserved it that night. 

There was a clink as Gunner placed his empty glass down on the counter, raising his head again and feeling eyes set upon him. “Have you got a problem or can you not find anything else to look at?” he commented, turning his head as he finished his question. 

To say that Sophia had been struggling was an understatement, though she was doing her best to maintain appearances. Still, she couldn’t help but to feel a bit displaced, as though she were still trying to find her footing in town. Truth be told, she’d been looking for a place to just...Relax. Get out of her own mind. Sliding onto a bar stool, she ordered a beer, her head turning on a swivel as she took in her surroundings. Though, focusing was proving difficult, and she hadn’t realized she’d appeared to have been staring at a man several feet away. Sophia jumped when he spoke, shaking her head slowly as she was pulled from inside her own head. “What? Oh, I’m...Sorry. I didn’t mean to stare, honestly. Just...Lost in thought. My bad.” Dropping her head, she felt a blush creeping up her cheeks, hoping she hadn’t offended the other too badly. “It...Won’t happen again.”

“and here i thought that no one would get that,” said genesis with a small laugh. she was tilting her head at her response about a keg. it was not the reaction she expected but she didn’t mind it. she could only shrug, her lips curving into a slight smile,” oh i know where i can get one but i don’t want to land in the emergency room.” her own gaze went towards the shelves that were incredibly well stocked. she was glancing over at her and shrugged,” i grew up in a house with parents who only drank wine,” she admitted,” but i’m more of a jack and coke girl most of the time.” she was glancing towards the bottle in her cart before looking up,” it is kind of a whole new world.” she went to slide her hand into the other’s and nodded,” nice to meet you sophie,” she said after a second,” i’m genesis and i guess welcome to charming? what do you think of it so far?” 

“Understandable. But, I’ve heard I’m generally pretty good at getting things. It helps that it’s something I do myself. You aren’t alone there.” She laughed, though her eyebrows furrowed at the last half of her response. “The emergency room? No, I’d say that’s something to avoid when at all possible. Unless you’re into that sort of thing. In which case...Carry on, I suppose.” Sophia listened as the woman spoke, her lips forming a soft smile as she learned a bit more about the other. “Oh wow. I guess it makes sense you’d know what you’re doing, then. I think my mama might’ve wholly passed out if my father or anyone else tried to bring alcohol into her home- no matter what it was.” Memories came flooding over her, and for a moment Sophia thought tears might well in her eyes. Swallowing thickly, she managed to stave them off. Shaking Genesis’ hand, Sophie smiled warmly. “It’s a pleasure. Thanks for that, I appreciate it. So far? It’s great, if you ask me. I really enjoy the whole aesthetic of the place. My boss is easygoing, too, so that’s a bonus. Have you lived here all your life?”
