~*~
What's your name? Any nicknames?
Jericho Reeves. My girlfriend June calls me Jer and my asshole of a manager calls me Junkie to piss me off.
And your pronouns?
They/them. Either you use them or I hurt you. Your choice.
Noted. When is your birthday? Hold old are you?
November 26th. I'm 23.
Where were you born? How long have you been in Windfell?
I've only been in town for six months, but I was actually born in Windfell. I even lived on the infamous Adrenaline Court until I was three. That's when foster care picked me up.
Why did you come back?
Oh, I had an old score to settle. I didn't plan on staying but, well, no one gets out of Windfell twice.
And how was your childhood?
Shitty. I was adopted at three. My family was slaughtered when I was seven. Adults seem to forget that being the sole survivor of a massacre is traumatizing. I was sent to St Gabriel's Hall, a school for "troubled" kids, you could say, when I was thirteen. It was the perfect place for me, just not in the way anyone expected.
When I was sixteen they pulled me from St. Gabe's for some bullshit reason. My new foster father was an asshole and I tried to run away when I was seventeen. He broke my leg for it so three months later I killed him when he attacked me in the kitchen. I told him I'd do it if he ever came at me again. It's not my fault he didn't listen.
And what are you doing now?
Working at Bean. Pissing off Wyn. Whatever I want, whenever I want.
What's wrong with you?
Ha. Physically? Mentally? According to Mari I'm "textbook antisocial with an addictive personality and delusion-focused schizophrenia." I'm physically dependent on Vicodin since my shattered leg was never set. I hallucinate eyes all of the time. I'm a literal psychopath.
What secrets are you keeping?
Ha. You can't actually think I'd tell you just because you asked. Gonna have to try a little harder than that.
Tell us two truths and a lie.
Let's see... I rarely got in trouble at St Gabe's. I'm actually a pretty good shift lead. And I have over twenty piercings.
The first one has to be a lie.
Nope. I have twenty piercings exactly. I stopped getting in trouble at St Gabe's after three months there and I'm a pretty chill manager.
What's your favorite song right now?
Cacao and Cocaine by Sofia Isella
What does your future look like?
I live in the present. I didn't think I'd live to see eighteen so everything since has been bonus years.
