Bad Liar || Cass & Open

“Oh, oh, I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’… Not to think about you No, no, no, no Not to think about you No, no, no, no Oh I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’… Not to give in to you No, no, no, no Not to give in to you With my feelings on fire Guess I’m a bad liar”

Finishing her song and rising from the stool she’d been seated on, Cass smiled and nodded her thanks for the smattering of applause as she left the small stage in the cafe. Open mics were one of her favorite ways to test out new songs, the audiences often small enough to get a better reading on individual listeners. Tucking her guitar back into its case and snapping the lid closed, she moved off to the side, taking a seat at the bar and ordering a hot tea and an order of scrambled eggs and bacon from the waitress. Sliding the guitar case under her feet, she turned to the person next to her with a smile. “You planning on performing today? Or just here to enjoy the show?”

Thane didn't come to the cozy cafe often; he preferred the comfort of his privacy and only appeared when he wanted someplace familiar to gather his thoughts. The music wasn't really a bonus as he was almost always too distracted to really listen to any of the talent that graced the stage. This evening however, a singer had managed to become the distraction, or more accurately the melodic tone she used when she recited her lyrics proved most distracting; it was impossible for the male to ignore and wonderous for him to listen to. After her performance, he casually finds a seat next to her at the bar, intent on telling her how much he appreciated the opportunity to admire her singing voice, but her question comes before he could. "I don't perform," he pointed out to her, quickly ordering light toast and breakfast links when prompted by the waitress before turning his attention back to the singer, "and until today, I haven't enjoyed much of the talent that comes through. You've got skill."

Night came pretty quickly for Thane, who sat in the booth at the back of the bar with one of his new acquaintances. They’d been drinking for most of it, with the help of a few games to pass the time as the night grew longer. Drinking in excess wasn’t exactly Thane’s element, nor were bars for that matter, but his enthusiasm to have a good time really attributes to the other for insisting Thane have a few drinks with them to which Thane showed his appreciation by buying their drinks for the night. It was close to midnight however and Thane still had a job to wake up to no matter how much he wished he hadn’t. “Alright, one more round,” he declares as he stands from his seat, “then I really should call it a night. I have to be awake for work by five.”

Isaac was in his own little world, he didn’t even really make note of the sound of whatever sports game was playing on the television or the fairly loud conversation occurring between the man and the woman near him. However when a voice spoke directly to him he glanced up from where he was sitting to see the man addressing him “Of course—-Have a seat” he said cordially. Isaac gave a small friendly nod in response to the glass being passed to him “I appreciate that. I’m Isaac”.

Thane was the one who wanted to show appreciation for being welcomed to sit. Although he did have a way with getting what he wanted eventually it was always a relief when eventually happened to come sooner rather than later. After unbuttoning his suit he takes his seat, still occasionally taking a sip from his glass even when he speaks, "Mr. Grady-" he introduced, though he would have preferred a less formal means of addressing him, "Just Thane, really." He corrects with a slight smirk. Thane's eyes catch the papers on the table, though not their contents and is immediately curious as to whether or not they had been the source of Isaac's grief. He doesn't waste too much time wondering before questioning it out loud, "I really don't mean to pry but what's wrong?" he asks directly, nodding to the papers on the table to make it clear that's what he was referring to, "maybe I can give some advice?"

imogen didn’t exactly like the way this was going, though she was appreciative of the man’s helping hand. however, she didn’t think that provoking the younger male was such a good idea when they didn’t seem all that please. trying to put herself in between them, she didn’t exactly succeed as the other guy suddenly swung his fist towards the older man sending him back to the floor. a gasp of surprise escaped her lips as she immediately crouched down to the fallen man, her eyes darting back to the college kid as she declared, “that’s enough–i’m not giving you my number and i’ve been trying to let you down the nice way, but you just can’t get a fucking hint. now, piss off!” considering that she has only ever seen a bar fight once, she wasn’t exactly looking forward for this to be the second. although she was no damsel in distress, she couldn’t help but be thankful for the other guy’s intervention. holding out her hand to examine his cheek, she asked him with a concerned look on her face, “are you okay? you didn’t have to do that and now, you’re hurt.”

Thane can't easily pick himself up nor does he want to immediately; having the woman's attention distracts him from doing anything but looking up to her with a smirk as she examined where he was hit. "I'm fine."he assures before struggling to pull himself to his feet using the stools for support. He wasn't too hurt thanks to his strong jaw, all he really got from the hit was a little more sober, and a bruise. "Besides, he had it coming." Thane assures her as if he didn't come up on the wrong side of that fight, if it could even be called that. The barkeep shouts to the Thane and the male to take their conflict outside, prompting the other guy to scoff at Imogen after she tells him off, apparently decided that she wasn't worth the trouble. "Me and my mate's were on our way out, it's a bit crowded in here anyway." he tells the bar keep before nodding to the booth where several of his other friends sat to signal their departure. Thane on the other hand wasn't quite ready to take an L, his sense of pride wouldn't allow him not to have the last word; "Already? I thought you might want some tips on how to hit like a man." He teases with a playful smirk, but the other was far from a playful mood and took what Thane said as an invitation to hit him again but this time jabbing Thane in the centre of his face, breaking his nose and causing blood to run from his nostrils. The sudden pain Thane felt was worse than the first hit but he manages to keep on his feet this time and instead covers his nose as he recovers from the sting of the hit. He considered fighting back, throwing a punch or two to rectify having been hit, but before he can the barkeep shouts over the patrons, threatening to call the police if Thane and the other male didn't leave the Bar immediately.

imogen was beginning to regret her decision to go out for a drink tonight, especially when some college kid couldn’t seem to take a hint. she had noticed him talking with some other guys, who she assumed to be his friends, and part of her wonder if the reason why the younger male was being too insistent was because of some bet they had. after all, she’s been a college kid once and she’s been dared to do the same thing, get someone phone’s number. true, she could just leave, but the brunette really needed that drink right now. imogen was just about to break it down the hard way to the kid when someone else began to intervene. eyes darting towards the other man, the brunette tried to shake it off as she stated, “no–it’s alright. he was just leaving.”

After she makes her disinterest that much more apparent, Thane couldn't help a smirk as he glances over to the male who seems a bit embarrassed. "Ooo, swing and a miss." Thane taunts before reaching for the guy's shoulder, "you might wanna take that walk now." he tells the guy which must've been his tipping point because he shrugs Thane's hand off of him. "Don't put your hands on me." he warns with his tone becoming tense as he steps up to Thane. Thane looks down to him with little worry, figuring his bark was worse than his bite, "What're you gonna do about it? Hit-?" He just had to ask, and in the moment it would have taken Thane to finish his question the other's fist connects right with his cheek instead after being swung with enough force to send Thane back and to the floor. In his defense he did not expect the punch and he hasn't been in a fight since highschool, Plus he was on his fifth glass of whiskey before working the nerve to approach the two which didn't make for favorable conditions at all.

@imogensinclair

Thane was hitting it off with some other patrons in the bar, of course in part because he started buying rounds for everyone after his third drink. He enjoyed having the company regardless of why they drank with him, but really he was trying to impress a woman who he noticed earlier sat at the end of the bar. She was pretty striking, but there had been a male hovering over her for a while now and Thane assumed the woman might've been with him. As the night progressed however, she appeared to Thane as if she was trying to ignore the guy, which prompts Thane to walk over and see if he would be needed to intervene, though he was grateful for an excuse to approach her, "Hey, is this kid bothering you?" he asks her directly, not even looking in the male's direction as he did. "I might be of some assistance."

It was just another New Years eve, another eve he decided to just spend in a random club in the city, having figured he’d just as well spend it out among people. He didn’t feel like arranging anything at his place, and so many of his friends either had children far younger than his own step-daughter was, and had their celebrations earlier in the day, or they were with others oftheir friends, and Edward, he hadn’t bothered feeling like the third wheel of a party. So instead, he had made a good meal at home, enjoyed himself, before he headed down to the city, ordering a beer… Or three, in the hour leading up to the big strike of twelve. Once he heard the cheers though, he lifted his glass and cheered with the others, before putting it down, and held out his hand to the one sitting closest to him by the bar. “Happy New Years. Mind if I start the new year with buying you and your friends a round?”

[thanegrady-blog]

After twelve o'clock hits, Thane raises his glass with everyone else to usher in the new year, though celebrations didn’t last long for him after downing what was left of his fourth drink of the night. Initially he came out thinking it would be good to celebrate the new years with people for a change, and while he did have some fun, he wasn’t used to drinking as much as he has, and decided it would be appropriate to call it a night after his last drink. As he’s standing from his stool to put on his coat the man beside him offers to buy Thane a drink, which Thane immediately finds funny because he had no friends. “No thanks, I’m just about to head home.” he explained, pulling out his wallet follow by a hundred dollar bill to cover his tab. “Thanks for the gesture though. You should spend your money on something better than beer.” he says, nodding slightly to the bottle in his hand, “What’s your drink?”

[isaac-malone-rp]

It was more difficult than he had expected it to be now that he was looking at the papers sitting in front of him even though he knew it was the right thing. He was sure she would sign them as well, especially after confession to his in-digressions but the pen still just simply didn’t want to move. “Just fucking sign it” he said to himself as he sat there trying to get himself to finally put his name on the divorce papers so they could then be given to his wife and they could move forward. He looked like must have been having an existential crisis. “Fuck” he said a bit louder as he took a deep breath and just laid the pen down

"Mind if I sit?" Thane inquires, approaching the other's table with two glasses of bourbon in hand after figuring somebody needed a drink. It was fortunate Thane had heard the distress in the male's tone; Thane needed a reason to skip out on the next board meeting, and what better way to pass the time than with a drinking companion. "Sounds like you can use a drink." he pointed out before offer the glass he didn't drink from.

Hi! I'm Riley! This is Thane and Zeus! Sorry for the short intro to me but it's Thane's turn now haha

ZEUS has been reborn as Thane Grady, a THIRTY-FIVE year old CEO. HE identifies as MALE and is HETEROSEXUAL. They are LOYAL & UNWAVERING, SPITEFUL & STUBBORN which suits them as they look like HENRY CAVILL.

Thane has lived his life over achieving for the most part; studied at two universities after graduating high school at the same time, became the first in his family to earn a bachelor's degree [in marketing and digital media], learned several languages in his time consulting with corporate leaders overseas after earning a corporate position himself in the company he works in, all before he reached the age of thirty.

Alot of aspects in Thane's life was overlooked by him in exchange for such early success, including building a life of his own and keeping in touch with his family and friends, although Thane wasn't much in the way of having or keeping his friends, ultimately leading to the male living an isolated kind of life.

Zeus is placed in this mortal's Body at the point in Thane's life when the ache of lonliness and regret start to dictate his decisions, and without even knowing it Zeus will be forced to live as this mortal as he tries to live by surrounding himself with lasting relationships and friends, seeking to build a life where his work isn't the focal point.

A few more things about Thane:

Thane is really competitive because he has alot of confidence himself. It almost always borders on arrogance so expect very little humility from him.

He enjoys people, especially having someone to talk to. Thane will probably take the initiative in most situations.

He's rich, so he has access to alot of resources. He's not really generous either, not naturally at least. Thane tries to be helpful when it's necessary.

I don't have alot else now but as he developes I'll have a page for his bio and more information! Open to plot with everyone obviously!
