Everett Ward

A scientist who'd really rather do his research uninterrupted and keep to the side

[untrust-everett-ward]

Meet Everett Ward! He's a scientist who generally prefers to study the world rather than participate in it, but he's traveling to do some field research. After all, one can only gain a certain level of understanding from books alone, even if they are much easier to deal with than people.

(Everett uses he/they pronouns, and is aroace—although they'd probably just tell you they're too busy with their research to look for a relationship)

Tags:

#interactions - roleplay with other untrust cast members

#journal entries - fics, more polished stories rather than active roleplay

#scientific sketches - art of Everett and/or other untrust cast members (probably not done by me since I'm more of a writing person)

Boundaries: turning and/or killing me is fine! (What a sentence to write lol) Just let me know so I can adjust how the story goes and have Everett respond accordingly :)

Z**** Lily noticed dusk was starting to approach. “Hey guys, do you think we should set up shelter? It’s going to get dark soon and it’s probably a bad idea to stay out in the open at night.” They She said, pointing up at the setting sun and looking with worry at their his new friends.

Town (Day 1)

Feel free to make posts for houses/other locations within town (or anywhere else that you think needs one!)

[untrust-everett-ward]

Everett notices a gaggle of people around town and decides to approach slowly, trying not to be noticed. Large groups are rather a pain.

[lily-teardrop]

Lily noticed some new people had entered the town, a group of three and one alone. Now that she had a sheep, he was in a much better mood and headspace, so she decided to call out to the one by himself. “Hello! Welcome to the town!” He carefully set down Lambert and waved over at the newcomer.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au rebloging this here :3)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

Odette looks over where Lily is and waves the newcomer over. <<Oh hello! I’m Odette, who’re you?>> They stray slightly from their sheep pen after quickly checking the sheep would be okay alone and walks over to Lily, stopping right by his side.

@untrust-everett-ward

[untrust-everett-ward]

"I'm Everett," he says, pushing his glasses up further on his nose and walking closer to the other two, stopping at the appropriate distance for a casual conversation. Part of him mourns the loss of the useful viewpoint he'd gained from hanging back (it's much harder to look at the big picture from the inside, after all, and you can't figure out how something works without seeing the bigger picture), but it would make him stand out more if he refused their friendly overtures, and be rude besides. "I like your sheep. Have you been here long?"

( @lily-teardrop @odette-untrust-vsmp-au )

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Oh! Thank you! No, we really just arrived. The place is kind of worn down, isn’t it?>>

[untrust-everett-ward]

"How funny, I've just arrived as well. It is quite worn down—I suppose that's just what happens when a place is left abandoned for long enough. What brings you here?"

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Looking for a place to rest with me and my flock. What about you?>>

@lily-teardrop if you wanna join in any time go for it

[lily-teardrop]

“I myself came here to investigate the mysteries of this town.” Lily said.

And to get away from Mowe.

Lily did not ask for her opinion.

(@untrust-everett-ward)

[untrust-everett-ward]

"That's not too far from why I'm here myself! I don't know anything about the mysteries you refer to, but I came to study the flora and fauna of the area. I've been researching a particular type of plant and its defenses against animals, and I heard this was a quiet place where I could so some observation."

Everett suddenly becomes uncomfortably aware of how long he's been talking. He's gotten better at not launching into explanations of his work, but... Anyway. Time for him to let someone else do the talking.

He clears his throat. "What are these mysteries you speak of?"

[lily-teardrop]

“Oh, around 200 years ago, there was a huge massacre of the people of Oakhurst, hence why right now, it is in ruins, and from what I heard, it happened extremely quickly, so I honestly doubt it was something like a plague, so I decided to come and investigate what may have happened. I wasn’t expecting so many people though, I think so far I’ve seen…”

Violet, Riley, Kismet, Rose, Odette, and Everett..

And I remember seeing three others besides them, so that makes…

“I think 9 people so far, including you and Odette but excluding myself.” Lily said, completing their thought.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<That is strange I suppose…>> Odette looks over to Everett. <<Could you tell me more about this plant? Is it dangerous to sheep in any way?>> (Ooc here! This literally feels like 3 people just talking about their special interests. It’s perfect I love this trio <3)

@untrust-everett-ward

[untrust-everett-ward]

"Well... it could hurt them. But it seems to emit a chemical that tells animals to stay away, and they'd have plenty of time to get away once they first get hurt from touching it, so they would probably be fine."

(ooc: I also love this trio! A true day 1 crew right here <3 )

@lily-teardrop

[lily-teardrop]

“Is it dangerous to humans then? If so, do you have a way to protect yourself from it?” Lily asked, concerned.

Why do you care about him? He’s not important, you literally just met him!

Shut up, H****, no one asked you.

Could both of them shut up? Now’s not the time.

…Fine

Sorry..

Thank you.

Without her realizing, a slight look of annoyance had formed on his face.

(Yeah, I’m really liking our trio! Also don’t mind Lily having a mini mental breakdown lol, she’s fine I swear.)

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[untrust-everett-ward]

"It can be! As long as you don't touch it for too long, you'll be alright, and it hurts to touch, so it's not particularly tempting to hold it for long enough to become a real problem. I use gloves to protect my hands when I have to touch them," He says, pulling out a pair of gloves from one of his pockets. The gloves are white, but the fingertips and palms are stained with a faded black.

Everett notices a hint of an annoyed expression on Lily's face. Oops. They've probably talked too long, haven't they? They shift their weight from one leg to the other, putting their gloves back away and only now realizing how relaxed they'd been. These two people seem nice. Everett likes them.

(@odette-untrust-vsmp-au)

[odette-untrust-vsmp-au]

<<Stay safe when working on them. Can they make you sick or is it just pain?>> Odette looks at Everett with a mix of curiosity and worry. <<And are you sure there aren’t any adverse effects? How long have you been working with these plants?>>

@lily-teardrop

[untrust-everett-ward]

"Oh, don't worry, I keep at a safe distance as much as possible. I'm still studying them, but so far I haven't found anything to suggest it's more than the pain—there's no long-term effects I've found yet." Everett pauses. "I've been truly studying them for about eight years now, although there was a patch in my hometown that caught my eye when I was much younger. How long have you been taking care of sheep?"
