CHAPTER ONE : STATS .

name : vale nekoda . nicknames : vee . age : twenty3 . gender + pronouns : cis woman + she / her . sexuality : bisexual . birthday : 12th july 2001. address : sycamore arms #3010.

𝓲. vale was the second adopted child of her parents, two mothers that were so in love that all they wanted in life was a little bundle of joy to complete the family. her brother before her had filled her parents’ lives with so much love, but that little sweet thing — with wide, dark eyes and freckles across her nose — was a dream come true. saying that she was cherished was an understatement ; she was solid gold to the women that raised her, but that doesn’t always mean the best for a child that wants to spread her wings, to explore, to find a place in the world that feels so far away when she was wrapped in cotton wool. 𝓲𝓲. her friends were allowed to play out, to drink ( so long as they were safe ) , to attend parties and enjoy their youth, but vale didn’t know any of that. instead, her life was experienced as though she was watching through a window, speaking with no sound coming out. chicago was painted in sepia tones, and the same journeys to and from school, and then to work, felt as though she was in her own version of groundhog day. the same postboxes, the same crack in the concrete, the same crossings that never seemed to turn green. when her parents suggested looking at colleges, she jumped at the chance ; not only could she study something she was passionate in, but she could break away. there was only one problem. vale wasn’t passionate about much at all. 𝓲𝓲𝓲. and so she applied to the university of chicago. she took up a few minor classes, but was never able to find something that truly stuck — a student home in willow peak was the only reassurance that she had made the right decision when she started unpacking her life, from a cardboard box. every night was spent on facetime to her family back home, and vale had to grin and lie through her teeth in order to convince them that things were going okay, that she was loving her studies, her journey to become a doctor, or a veterinarian, or a lawyer … whatever she could pull out of her imagination. none of it felt truly right. when she could, she took the first job that seemed to be hiring lonely, clueless, inexperienced college attendees ; morning glory. 𝓲𝒗. that was it. the smell of freshly roasted beans in the morning, the swirl of baking pastries that enticed even the hardest shelled businessmen. vale learned on the job quickly, and was soon inscribing everything you could think of onto the top of cappuccinos — hearts, fruits, little animal faces — all to brighten the days of the regulars. she started experimenting with flavours, mixing syrups and researching different roasts online from ecuador and europe and the deepest depths of the world. whatever had captured her was more than just caffeine. it was the opportunity to speak to people every day, to exist in the world of another for just one second, to learn of the greatness of the real world, the color, the joy. 𝒗. vale deferred her place at the university and, although she continues to insist that she’s going to go back, some day, the reality seems to be slipping further and further out of her grasp. instead, coffee cups fill it, and she spends most of her time on shift at morning glory speaking to the regulars or trying to coax newcomers to try the updated house blends. the real world still feels big, scary, unfamiliar but, now that she is settled in willow peak, there is an abundance of opportunity to explore, latte in hand.

CHAPTER ONE : STATS .

name : calahan donál macarthy . nicknames : cal . age : thirty5 . gender + pronouns : cis man + he / him . sexuality : bisexual . birthday : 8th august 1989. address : maple lane #679.

𝓲. as a first born son, there are certain responsibilities to uphold. as a first born catholic son, calahan's expectations were tenfold. from a young age, the eldest macarthy brother was backed into a corner. he would stay in line even if he felt like his back was breaking, in order to keep a smile on their mother's face, to earn a pat on the back from the pastor and some new clothes for his sunday best. the slow dissolve of communion wafers on his tongue was a reminder that jesus was a force that was inescapable, that had penetrated his body like a sickness. 𝓲𝓲. in spite of his desires, calahan stayed in line. he took his brothers to school and church, he prayed and studied hard and kept his head down, and by all accounts grew into the perfect catholic boy. but soon he was watching lorcan attend university, then ruairi, and it became clear to him that he was stuck. watching his little brothers find freedom, love, and even bringing beautiful boys of their own into the world only intensified that heaviness. a sick feeling somewhere between pride, envy and regret. it was no longer enough to stay at home and help their mother with the chores, or to spend time with the pastor learning the ropes in the hope that, someday, he would wear his own stiff - collar and stand at the pulpit. there was more out there, and all calahan had to do was reach out and touch it — that was, if he could muster the courage to do so. 𝓲𝓲𝓲. ireland was home, but it had grown as stagnant as a motionless pond, and so — to make the decision more palatable for maebh — calahan used the excuse of his younger brother to break free. he had to support ruairi, he insisted, to move over to chicago and offer a helping hand with fionn, keeping his sibling on his feet. of course, ruairi didn't need any of that, but it was beyond their mother's knowledge. as far as maebh maccarthy knew, her boys were thick as thieves, an unbreakable blood bond that led calahan to drop everything in a selfless act, pack his things, and leave the world he knew behind. illinois awaited. life awaited. 𝓲𝒗. there is still a knife in his heart from leaving their family behind. there is a meaninglessness that follows calahan around like a cloud tethered to his head; the remains of his irish lilt serves as a permanent reminder of how different he is. he was meant to support ruairi, to be a shoulder for his brother to cry on, to be an immovable pillar in the lives of his siblings. instead, at times, it feels as though the younger of the pair is the one that has things figured out, that knows the ropes and can offer a steady hand. 𝒗. a comfortable loan from their parents meant that calahan was able to purchase sharkey's from their previous owner. calahan has every intention of injecting some charm into the dive ; the low, orange-cast lights and sticky bar tops hold a certain reputation, but the eldest maccarthy has great plans to turn the bar into something that satisfies old punters and new blood alike. whenever he sees a crucifix, or a portrait of jesus, or rosary beads at a market stall, a needle of ice shoots down his spine and he remembers that part of himself that he forcibly severed. there is a circling reminder in his head, an ode to never returning — god loves you, but not enough to save you.
