𝐑𝐄-𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐒

❝ When Ria had first moved from Washington Heights to Manhattan in order to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher, there were a few things she had been expecting. She'd been expecting, having earned her education degree only a few months prior, to have to work at substitute teaching for a while before she earned a permanent position. She'd been expecting to find a half-decent little apartment, nothing special, but enough to get her started with her new, faster-paced life. Most of all, she had been expecting to go a few months without trying to get any dates, waiting until she'd firmly settled in before attempting to find someone she wanted to pursue a relationship with.

She had not been expecting to get a permanent job teaching high school English almost immediately (due to the current shortage of teachers in Manhattan), to find a really nice apartment in a really nice building that she could afford (the price of renting the place having gone down since the previous tenants had died mysteriously there), and especially to run smack into the most attractive man she'd ever seen in the street only two days into her new job, while she was rushing to get to work and he to an audition.

Four years later and Ria is still working at a job she loves, living in her nice, probably haunted apartment, and spending her free time hanging out with Joey, the cute actor she'd run into on the street, and the friends he'd introduced her to. Between marking persuasive essays and fielding phone calls from her protective parents (as well as telling herself that the thumps she can hear coming from behind her apartment walls are just her neighbors being rowdy), Ria spent her time nursing a ridiculously unrequited crush on Joey, trading sarcastic back-and-forth with Chandler, and listening patiently while Phoebe rambled on about how cluttered her massage clients' auras were. Life was weird and messy and a bit chaotic, but all in all, it was predictable, and it was good.

And then Monica's old best friend comes running into Central Perk in a soaked wedding dress, and a whole lot of changes that Ria hadn't been expecting crash into her life once again.

No one ever told Ria her life was going to be this way, but at least she has her friends to help her through it. ❞

OC NEW YEAR'S CHALLENGE — Day Six: In With The New

Evie Young would never have moved to America if it wasn't for her most recent breakup. After all, back in London, she had seemed to have it all - a thriving radio talk show centered around giving advice on love, a (seemingly) loving boyfriend, and a wealthy past that allowed her to have a sense of fashion that regularly landed her mentions in the papers, she seemed to have it all - until it was revealed to her, through a gossip tabloid no less, that boyfriend had been caught just outside a nightclub with his tongue down another woman's throat.

Forced to endure a relatively public breakup and mocked by multiple forms of English media - after all, how good at giving relationship advice could she be if she couldn't even keep her own relationship together? - Evie makes the decision to leave London and her old life behind, accepting an offer to start a new show on love advice from a station in Seattle. Despite the scandal that follows her into this new life she's trying to build for herself, Evie's new show, Love on the Air, is a smashing hit among Seattle radio listeners - especially because, as an openly bisexual woman, Evie is the only radio personality in the nation providing love advice to queer and straight people alike.

Despite her reputation, both as a rich English socialite running from her troubles back home and a spurned lover, Evie is also able to quickly make friends among her new colleagues - especially with radio psychologist Dr. Frasier Crane, who enjoys the finer things in life just as much as she does, and Roz Doyle, whom Evie admires for her boldness and refusal to let anything bother her. Through this friendship with Frasier, Evie also becomes acquainted with his younger brother Niles... who makes the most endearing awkward jokes and smiles at Evie in a way she's never been smiled at before.

With everything that happened with her ex back in London, Evie is a bit reluctant to trust anyone who seems interested in her, despite telling the callers on her show every day to do the exact opposite. But perhaps with a little bit of time - and no insignificant amount of pushing from Roz and Frasier's very determined live-in healthcare worker - Evie may be able to both talk about love on the air and find it again outside of her radio booth.

Let's not do out with the old, but we could certainly do in with the new. For day six, introduce a brand new oc or story you hope to be your newest muse for 2024.
