streets of neverland

Neverland is a place mentioned often on the evening news in London. A drug arrest. A drive-by. A group of muggings. Meanwhile, in the underbelly of the City, the night is getting started. For these people, Neverland is their only home.

Georgia had always been one of the popular girls –with men at her feet, and the subject of gossip from other girls. Her parents completely gave in to all of her requests: money, clothes, jewelry. With a face like hers, no one was quite able to say no, especially her father. She was the apple of his eye, his pride and joy. A car accident taking the lives of her parents was a huge slap in the face for Gigi,  the new reality meaning that she no longer got everything she wanted. She and her sister, Ashley, tried to be resourceful; they sold most of their expensive clothes and accessories, cutting down on frivolous spending. Georgia refused to work, she’d never worked a day in her life. It fell on her sister to find a solution, leading to Ashley landing a spot as a Mermaid at The Lagoon. When Ashley started coming home with more than enough money to spare and attention and connections with some of London’s most powerful men, Gigi became jealous. She made an appointment with Monique and turned every head in the brothel upon her arrival, a fact that Madame Thiers was unable to ignore. She quickly became one of the stars of The Lagoon. Georgia loved being the center of attention and she got her greatest desire fulfilled when she became Hook’s first call for a good time between the sheets.

→ AFTER 

When Gigi’s sister told her of her plans to leave Neverland with her boyfriend, she looked into her sister’s eyes and knew she was happy. Looking back on their lives, Gigi saw how she had always been the person to hinder that happiness. Ashley had always loved Gigi unconditionally, now it was time for Gigi to show the same selfless affection. She made a choice, and let her sister go. Without the stability her sister had provided for her, Gigi spiralled. Free time became her worst enemy, escaping into the comfort of a client’s collarbone at any moment she could. For a moment she could something else, she could feel loved. On one of the nights of heavy fighting she found herself hidden behind a dumpster as shots flew back and forth only feet away. Scrolling through her clients names, she realized that no matter how many hours they spent together in the end she was disposable to them; there was no one to call.  Gigi wasn’t the same girl when she returned in the morning, falling so far into her own facade that she wasn’t sure where she ended and it began. Her heart had become a stranger to her, but her mind remainded sharp. Following Monique’s death, she figures that if she can’t be someone else’s queen, she might as well be her own.

Unlike most of the people in her graduating class, Tamara was the first in her family to become involved with law enforcement. Her family was filled with lawyers, judges, one or two doctors but career days in high school proved to her that the other side of justice was the place for her. Upholding the law, keeping people safe, she wanted to do that. It became her dream, her aim. All her efforts went into it and being accepted on a scholarship to Hendon Police College was one of the best moments of her life. Despite her nerves of being the only female in most of her classes, Tamara flourished in the environment, learning how to be an outstanding officer like the rest of them. She has no doubt that she is as good as the rest of them. And while she graduated a year after Jasper, the two maintained a steady friendship, though the academy and after. Being Jasper’s back up in Neverland is proving to test her though. While her cover wasn’t as deep, she was beginning to see the inner workings of the crime underground. She wanted in, to be by her partner’s side because, from her point of view, thing were about to get incredibly messy in Neverland.

→ AFTER  

Tamara is in deep cover now, and snagging a job at the Green Fairy as a bartender meant that she had front row seats to the chaos.Tamara took notes, names would be spat out of blood stained lips and they would be stored away in Tamara’s brain in an instant. For a little while, she reported, she served as she was trained to. Eventually, something about the Lost Boys that got under her skin. The way they looked out for each other, the realisation that they were only boys, it hit her hard, as did the sudden instinct to protect them. Guilt flared in Tamara, all the Lost Boys were evidence of kids that slipped through the cracks of the system. She naming people, the dangerous ones. The first one caught was Jason Simmons. It didn’t mean that the Lost Boys won but it meant that the worst of them all was out of Neverland, away from the people they could hurt. She forgot that it would also mean that police would be in Neverland, that they would cover the place with as many people as they could, trying to contain the situation. Police added themselves to fray and made it worse before it got better. Tamara is trying to keep the best of both world, her job plus her cover in Neverland. But that is getting harder and harder every day and Tamara isn’t sure if she’ll make a choice or if the choice will be made for her.

 Francesca had only been fifteen when her mother had kicked her out, accusing her of flirting with her new boyfriend. She had to learn fast how to survive on her own.  Working the streets was the easiest solution, though probably not the safest. However, it was money, and a bed to sleep in if she was lucky. She met Mary, and the two became fast friends as well as semi-business partners. They looked out for each other, shared the money as they made it. When they approached the brothel, they presented themselves as a packaged deal and were quickly hired. Not long after, Mary was running the place, and Francesca was The Green Fairies first star. At twenty-six, she retired from the call-girl business and married one of her wealthy clients. An older man, late seventies. He died suddenly of a heart attack, and his children were furious to find that he had left all of his money to his young wife. She remarried; another (much) older man with a lot of money. Another mysterious and sudden heart attack, another large sum of money left in Francesca’s name. After putting a third husband in the ground, suspicion began to build and the police started questioning. Cashing in her accounts, Francesca hid out in Neverland, waiting for things to blow over.

→ AFTER 

Of course, she was expecting to be found. There was a hope matters would fall into place with little trouble, but Francesca has always been one to be prepared. Calls were made, money traded, though her questioning lasted longer than expected, she left the police station with no charges filed. She didn’t return to Neverland right away; that would only raise suspicions she couldn’t afford if she wanted to help. She told Mary: “Whatever you need, I will send it. Money, security — I’ll do what I can.” And so her inheritance from the dead started to deplete as the war raged. She traveled — seemingly vacation spots should the police still be keeping tabs — and she used her knowledge, the skills she learned and honed, to keep herself financially stable as she did what she could for the lives that mattered in Neverland. Once she thought the news died, she returned to Neverland six months prior to the end of the war. She easily sided with Mary, and, by extension, the Lost Boys. She’s a woman bent on surviving, and has learned to accept that her survival is dependent on who she cares for. But she’s still a woman shaped to a diamond; sharp and beautiful, she knows how to handle stress and fear better than most, and will often be the voice of reason.

Everly Pierce was a girl who liked to be in control of every situation so that she could do whatever she wanted. Her parents thought she was more trouble than she was worth, so Everly spent more time with her nanny than she did her actual family. She smoked, drank, had sex (all underage) and made it obvious just so that she would get a second glance from her parents, but had absolutely no success. Everything left her feeling emptier than before, nothing ever had the results she hoped for. At the age of eighteen, Everly took her father’s incredibly expensive Porsche for a test drive while drunk and ended up wrapping it around a tree. Once she was out of the hospital, her father threw her out of the house with nothing but the clothes on her back and a few dollars. All that bad behavior finally got her some attention, but it was the kind of attention that Everly hadn’t expected. She’d spent all of those years thinking she was abandoned, but now she was totally alone. Everly was oblivious as to how to live on the streets, and one evening Monique Thiers found her in a deserted alley. Even through all the dirt on Everly’s face, Monique could tell that she was a beautiful girl and offered her a job at her brothel. The madame became a second mother to Everly, and the Lagoon a second home (thought she would never admit it without a few drinks in her).

→ AFTER  

  The war between Jolly Rogers and Lost Boys claimed the lives, innocence and even the homes of some of the residents in Neverland. Only a lucky bunch of people managed to claw their way out of the war unscathed and unharmed — Everly was one of those people. While the war might not have left Everly with any physical scars, it did leave her with a few emotional ones. Car bombings, shootings and rioting can take tolls on people differently, the toll it took on Everly made her afraid to walk the streets of Neverland alone at night. As a coping mechanism during the war, Everly began using dust as more than just a little recreational fun. When the news came of Monique’s health issues, Everly never expected that she would be fighting tooth and nail with Gigi for the position of Madame of The Lagoon. The idea of Everly becoming the next Madame scared her at first, not believing she could handle the job or even be the best person for it— but the idea grew on her. Everly began to think that maybe that was why Monique had picked her out of the gutter all along, maybe this was why Monique had took her under her wing and trained her how to walk the walk and talk the talk. Maybe Monique had always intended to hand her kingdom over to Everly.

Mercédes grew up with her parents until she was thirteen years old, when a group of men broke into her home. Sadie was rushed upstairs by her mother and told to hide beneath the bed. Before her mother could find somewhere else to hide, the men walked in and began beating her until she stopped moving. Trying to keep silent under the bed, she stared horrified at her mother’s corpse. Hours passed before anyone came and found her. Her father’s body was discovered in the same state. Mercédes’ aunt, Monique Thiers, was given custody. Sadie turned to drugs and alcohol, sneaking out of The Hollow every night to go and party.  As she got older, though, she found more purpose. She began her training at the age of seventeen and when she hit eighteen she became an escort. Monique would never allow men to pay to sleep with her niece, believing she deserved a better life than that. Mercédes was the type of girl who didn’t know who she wanted to be or who she really was. Deep down, Sadie is just a girl that lost her mother too young and had not been the same since. She often had nightmares about that night, waking up with her voice hoarse from screaming. Though she knows Monique tries her best, Mercédes hadn’t been able to shake the feeling that she didn’t belong with the sharp beauties of The Lagoon.

→ AFTER  

Reluctantly, Sadie remained at the Lagoon, feeling that it was her duty to stick by the people that she had come to call family in the recent years. However, she still found herself looking to the other side of the border, wondering if her life would be different there. One evening on her walk from the club to the Grotto she found a strung out Lost Boy, Lucas Pratt, begging her for heroin. Not caring about the war and the fact that he was an apparent enemy, Sadie hid him for a few days until he could go through the withdrawals. This experience, combined with the loss recent death of her aunt and only remaining relative, caused Sadie to make a change and leave the Lagoon. Though she loved many there, she’s realized she couldn’t keep wishing she was somewhere else when it wasn’t fair to them, and her aunt was her only true remaining link to her old life. She has now decided to dedicate her time where she can be useful and also learn, volunteering with Thea and Derek to help the injured at The Black Sheep. She struggles at times learn what the other two have been trained in but she is eager, clearly bright and gifted in assisting them. For the first time in what has felt like years, Sadie feels like she’s useful and can truly grow as her own person.

Hannah had always been deeply in love with the city of London, she had known nothing else. She would arrive home right on time, never missing curfew, and she would eat dinner at the table with her parents. Her father was a high-end lawyer, her mother didn’t have to work, and Hannah had a nice and normal life. Everything changed on the one day she came home late. Full of apologies, Hannah ran into the dining room to find her mother on the floor, dead in a pool of blood. Tied to a chair was her father, a bullet between the eyes. Hannah spent the next two weeks sedated in this hospital after going into a manic state of shock. Once she returned home, she rummaged through her father’s desk to find answers. For years, Hannah’s father had been handling legal matters for George Darling. He had lost him a case worth millions of dollars. George Darling had taken his revenge. And now, so would Hannah. Something in the young girl  died, her entire spirit darkened and twisted into something evil. She came to Neverland to observe the Darling family and to also seek out James Hook, working hard to prove herself and be admitted as a Roger recruit. The only thing on her mind is revenge against George Darling and his family, willing to go to any sadistic lengths to attain it.

→ AFTER 

Things started to change for Hannah after the cinema burned to the ground. When the riots came she found herself stepping up a great deal, using her unintimidating appearance and acting skills to her advantage whenever she needed them. Hannah was a pretty girl who lead a lot of people to an unfortunate fate. It was far from smooth sailing, especially when one of the few people Hannah had grown close to was dragged off to prison. In the chaos, Hannah found stability in her own ferocity. Her repressed anger and underlying fear made her walk around with teeth bared in the form of a sweet smile. While Hannah wasn’t ready to be the hitman she felt she needed to be, Hook offered her his currently vacant collector spot. Not as a temporary fill in for Smee, but as his partner. Things may have changed, but Hannah’s end goal remains the same; revenge for the deaths of her parents.

Vaeda Franco had once ruled her school. She had started out unpopular, the butt of jokes and the subject of snickers between posh girls until she realized something very important: She was smarter than all of them. Instead of makeup and boys, her head was full of binary code. It was age of social technology, and she used it to her advantage. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. You name it, Vaeda could hack it. She incepted cellphone signals, downloaded picture files, worked into texts and private messages. Vaeda set up a website, a public burn bookl, bringing popular kids to their knees and letting herself rise to the top. After finishing school, she went on to larger databases. First banks, then security mainframes, then getting on the edges of government encryption. That’s when she learned that a lot of value could be found in gang accounts. Realizing there was something funny going on with his numbers, Hook traced it all back to the smart girl with weird hair, just a girl with a laptop in her bedroom. Vaeda was generally friendly girl with a vicious bite if  she’s been crossed. Vaeda was rarely seen without some kind of gadget on her person; be it a pair of large headphones or a Gameboy.  More often than not, her boyfriend, Angel Mercy, was always hovering near by with a proud smile on his face, watching the genius in action.

→ AFTER

 Vaeda has been through hell and back in the last two years and while it hasn’t sobered her up completely, it has given her some perspective. She could lose people, people she loves. There are enemies out there. Smee is locked up, Angel was hurt. It made her mad, it fueled her to succeed in the one venture that was causing her trouble. She got the accounts. It was all them after that point. When the Lost Boys were on top, cracking the Darling accounts was the aim. It was reached, she succeeded and yet it isn’t enough. And the way things are going, she feels like a highly skilled personal assistant, responding to Hook’s every beck and call. It’s all bank accounts, background checks and making sure everyone’s shit is in order. It’s not that she’s not loyal to the screwed up family that’s been thrown together, she loves every single one of them. The only thing is…She’s bored now. That’s the only way to describe it. The hacker is covering it up the best that she can, still all smiles and sunshine. She still loves her boyfriend, her Dumpling, her friends. She doesn’t want to imagine leaving them.

When she was only sixteen, Pippa fell in love with a boy. Madly, passionately, and deeply in love. She ran away with him, moved in with him, and at seventeen, got pregnant. He said everything would be okay, that he would stay with her no matter what her decision would be; he proposed to her. Pippa decided to keep the baby, young and stupid enough to believe in a happy ending.  The boy had been out, shopping for Pippa at night, when he was caught in the middle of a robbery gone wrong. Shot and abandoned on the streets, he bleed to death right on the pavement. Pippa’s heart was broken, her entire world felt like it had come to an end. Seven months pregnant, she was completely alone. She couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, she could barely move. The baby didn’t have a chance. At eighteen, she met Madame Darling who offered her a position. Pippa, alone and broke, jumped at the opportunity.  In the brothel, Pippa was usually the one to handle the quick jobs; the clients who don’t want anything fancy, just get in and get out. She tended to keep things to herself, but she was always the first on the scene with comfort when is someone else is sad. Pippa  depended on a steady stream of dust to get by. If anything, it kept her from thinking of what her life could have been if things had gone right.  

→ AFTER

Pippa was presented with choices as time passed; as war screamed around her, as blood ran down the streets. Dust stopped being her escape and her main support to make it through the day because if she took too much, she would become careless and die. It took so long, but she grappled with the desire to live in the terror surrounding her and held it close. It was slow-going, but she was among the latter batch of fairies who started learning how to defend themselves after Mary continuously offered the chance. She was the one stomaching death once more, forcing herself to stand until she was alone to heave the horrors onto the floor. After the power shift in Neverland, Pippa continues to work at the Fairy as a call girl, stocking more clients as one of the most experienced and long-lasting workers. Her voice is one of the first to comfort others, whether they be other Fairies or innocents lingering in the aftermath. Her use of dust has lessened considerably, but there are some days where she takes a line to stop the scattering of her thoughts and the pain of loss. But she’s shaping herself, keeping steady on her feet, and though she’s not at the best place in her life, she knows it to be better than where she was before. Her life, her plan B, is now shaped by Neverland and the people she met. And maybe that’s enough to save herself.

“Sticky fingers”  is what his mother called it, but Nathan preferred to think of it as “a talent for extended borrowing”. It sounded nicer that way. His family never had much, and stealing goods and pawning them for cash was an easy way to contribute. He started with small jobs; diners and petrol stations. After a while, petty theft became too easy and he gained ambition. He moved up in the world. Banks, home break ins. That was how he met the Darling family, breaking into their home with ease. When he realized where he was, he was sure he was going to be killed. Instead, George Darling was impressed by his skill and ability to get past the extensive security system. He hired him.   Nathan quickly found a home in Neverland, forming tight relationships with the Lost Boys and treating them all as if they were brothers . However, Neverland had also brought it’s share of tragedies to him. He had witnessed the death of his partner, Chuck, and has himself been tortured at the hand of James Hook. Even his relationship with Maggie Lawrence had been touched by the darker parts Neverland had to offer, standing by her side as she recovered from addiction. Their experiences together made them stronger, eventually finding some sense of stability.

Nibs’ reluctance towards going to war faded gradually as the months of unrest drove on. After the loss of one partner, and the abandonment of another, Nibs realized that he couldn’t be one foot in, one foot out of the game anymore. He recommitted himself wholeheartedly to the Lost Boys, working solo and a thief, and losing sight of any out that he might have initially thought possible in regards to Neverland. It was where he was needed, and there he would stay. The conflict hardened him, having to make peace with choice and action taken in the need to ensure the survival of himself and his friends. When the Rogers came out on top, something inside of Nibs seemed to break. The hopefulness and the joy that he found in the place that had been his home for the last few years was gone, replaced by resentment and anger that he had been fighting since Chuck died. Neverland had became less of a home and more of a final resting place. His only saving grace is his relationship with Maggie, who he is still with, though Nibs’ refusal to leave Neverland or even start to grow up has caused a strain on their dynamic and has left their future in question.

Dylan Abrams began picking pockets from the age of nine after being abandoned by her parents. It became her way of surviving and she quickly became a natural, a regular in the group of homeless youths that hung around London’s high traffic tourist locations. As she grew older and perfected her skills, learning from her mistakes, the girl had made a lifestyle as an excellent thief. It was hardly an ideal way to survive, some jobs going wrong, some time served in juvenile homes, but Dylan never wished to trade it for a normal or boring life. She had found her way into Neverland after stealing a heist out from under the Lost Boys, being offered a position within the group after impressing George Darling with her nerve. It was a challenging change, going from a cynical loner to being part of a group, a patchwork family that always had each others back. However, complications arose as her past connections caught up to her, debts and arrangements owed to Jolly Rogers putting her in dangerous situations. After a horrifying kidnapping at the hands of James Hook, Dylan had resigned from the Lost Boys in an effort to recover from the trauma, eventually healing enough to return to solo work as freelance thief.

→ AFTER 

Growing restless with her life in Neverland, Dylan decided she needed a change of scenery and to rediscover her roots in pick-pocketing, car-jacking, and safe cracking. Life had become all too mundane for Dylan, she missed the life she had before Neverland — the freedom of being a thief for hire. During her time away from Neverland, Dylan has spent most of her time in Berlin, France, Belgium and Moscow, working by herself and occasionally teaming up with other thieves, hackers, and grifters for the right price. She enjoyed the freedom and picking up at a moments notice and going where she wanted, she had no idea of the chaos ripping through Neverland. It was almost two years to the day that she had left London that she’d received a call from George Darling.  Though she wasn’t shocked to hear about the gang war, she felt a strange tug in her chest as she thought of those left behind there. Harry Jenkins tragic death, coupled with Lost Boys being injured and imprisoned, meant that George needed reinforcements. It wasn’t the best offer, the Lost Boys had fallen out of power and didn’t have much to offer her in return, but despite her best efforts to disconnect from her life in Neverland, the Lost Boys were a family and Dylan had learned that you can’t turn your back on your real family when they need you the most.
