location: country roads restaurant
closed starter for: @wanderinglcst (joey)
whenever there was more than one person in the restaurant and halley was alone, she felt like her head was going to explode. she'd been going from table to table, balancing as much as she could in her arms while the bell above the door jingled once more. she didn't even bother looking up before she spoke, too busy trying to make sure she didn't drop anything. "welcome to country roads! i'll be with you as soon as i can!"

WHERE: Bucky's Diner
WHO: Halley MacGillivray ( @exmcrtis )
"Halley, right?" Scarlette smiled politely at the younger woman before extending her hand. "I'm Scarlette. It's nice to meet you, and thank you for agreeing to this." She slid into the other side of the booth and shrugged out of her winter jacket. "I realise that we're connected to each other in a super weird and awkward way, but I was hoping to get to know you, regardless of what ends up happening with my dad and Hope. Uhm, pun not intended." She laughed lightly. "So... Lui tells me that you have a sister?"

[THE DISILLUSIONED]. Please welcome HANK MACGILLIVRAY (HE/HIM) to Huntsville, WV. They are a 45-year-old RESIDENT who lives in TOWN. You may see them around working as a REALLY TERRIBLE COP. Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.
—IN CHARACTER
Name: Hank Macgillivray
Age: 45
Birthday: January 18
Hometown: Huntsville
Length of time in Huntsville: 45 years
Occupation: Shitty Cop (the best kind of cop tho)
ABOUT
i will add to this here and there depending on the day tyvm
hank was raised by scottish immigrants who didn't fuck around. he's got three siblings, one older and two younger. they were all kept very much in line by a cold and detached father who smacked them around when needed, and a strict housewife mother who was never afraid to say 'you just wait until your father gets home'.
in other words, his upbringing was pretty traditional and straightforward. he was taught to be polite, and he was taught to be the best picture of masculinity and all-american boy he could be.
hank worked out. hank flirted with girls. he played football. he went on dates where he held doors open and pulled chairs out and made sure his female counterparts didn't lift a finger or spend a dime. he met a girl, fell in love, went through several break ups and make ups throughout high school, and was eventually heartbroken when she decided to go to college out of state.
he thought about following her, but his dad's health was declining when he graduated high school. so he stayed nearby, deciding to go through the steps towards becoming a cop mainly because he knew it was a career he'd be good in. following rules was a strength of his, as was getting others to fall in line. it was his stature, mainly, but also his don't-fuck-with-me demeanor (when he wasn't telling stupid jokes and overall being a giant goofball).
hank actually was a really good cop. for a really long time.
when his high school sweetheart finished college, she came back home. they got together again, and this time they seemed like they were gonna last. he proposed to her, they got married, and a year later she got pregnant.
as soon as he saw the first ultrasound, just a little blob on a screen, hank was in dad-mode. he couldn't wait. he was in love with the heartbeat, and he was so in awe of his wife for being able to bring them such a gift. to bring him such a gift.
halley came into the world, and hank was pretty sure he'd never loved anyone or anything quite as much in his entire life, and he probably never would again. his wife didn't take to being a parent quite as easily.
she bailed pretty soon after, leaving hank and halley alone. it sucked, it made hank pretty depressed, but he kept it together. he relied on help from his mom with the baby, or from friends around town.
so hank struggled, but he made shit work. he would've done anything for halley, which sometimes included discipline and structure and routine, but always made time for stupid jokes and fun activities. hank was the dad that wore tiaras and makeup if his daughter asked him to look fancy for a tea party. he let his daughter paint his nails, and he didn't even wash it off after. he just went to work with chipping pink fingernails.
he dated, sure, but not much. it was difficult to imagine anybody being good enough to introduce to his child, so what was really the point of getting too involved with anyone?
then the paradox. not a great time for everyone, but hank tried to stay okay. he was happy to have his daughter, and he did everything in his power to keep her safe. he kept going to work, kept being a freaking awesome cop, kept providing for himself and his kid, etc.
and then he saw someone else who had followed all the rules get torn apart by horrifying forest creatures of the night. and shit changed for hank.
yeah, violence is bad. and like he will definitely get involved with major crime-y shit happening in town. but when he sees a couple of dumbasses getting in a fight? or he watches some kid shove candy in their pockets? he will look the other way. because there is a lot of bad shit going on in huntsville, and who is he to judge how other people cope with that?
oh and he 100% eats his feelings.

Hello, its me
A Self para: Teddy and Hope
The Restaurant was fixing to close. Teddy had sent everyone home and was packing up the food that was left over to take home for him a Kirby to eat that night When he heard the bell at the top of the door ring.
"were closed!" he shouted from the counter as he wiped it down. It was one of the last things he had to do. When the sound of heels clicking on the hardwood floor came closer he glanced up from his work. Who he saw nearly shook him too his core. "Hope?!
Hope smiled brightly "Theodore Clark Collins...." a giggle followed her words "Well now, I haven't seen you since you were how old? you have grown so much!" He towered over her and boy had he filled in nicely. She could see now why Morgan was hanging around him. Why the gossip column had mentioned him so much as of recently. He was very kind on the eyes and screamed trouble, even if it wasn't on purpose.
"What are you even doing here?" Teddy was even more thankful now that he had sent everyone home. He didn't know the ins and outs of the what Halley knew about her mother. But the last thing he wanted was for her to be upset while at work. "I mean...it's good to see you! but I'm just confused...What happened?"
Hope looked to him a little pout on her face "I felt home sick. You know they say you don't realize you have a good thing until it's gone...New York never felt like home, like Huntsville did" she lied to him. New York had been heaven on earth to her, she was well off, her parents money kept her well taken care of for just long enough till she could find someone to Marry who could cater to he life style. Of course Hope Macgillivray always got what she wanted and like everything else she did. He was a lawyer and a damn good one at that. It helped that his mother was an ex Broadway starlet turned producer and was Hopes in to the big time. The only thing in her way, or so she thought was Hank. But now she was stuck here "I'm still settling in so I was just stopping by the pick up some food on my way home....but I won't trouble you"
Teddy sighed, he didn't believe a word of it but kept his friendly demor all the same. "So, you came back to what?" He questioned "Are you going to try and fix things with Hank and Halley?" He leaned on the the counter and furrowed his brows "If you are I'd appreciated if you don't do it at my restaurant" he grumbled "I just don't want any trouble here..." He grabbed one of the bags he had packed up "Here you can have this, it's on the house...since you didn't know how early we closed..."
Hoped nodded "I'm going to try, I can't force my self back in their lives...so at least whatever Halley decides that's what I'll respect..." she nodded "And I know Hank and Morgan are back together....not really surprised though..." She shrugged before glancing up to him with a sly smile "I was surprised to read about you and Morgan though..." her eyes shifted to the food. "oh Teddy you're a sweet heart" The words came out a bit more artificial than she intended.
Teddy leaned back up and crossed his arms. When she was talking about Halley it seemed genuine however when she mentioned Morgan and Hank he suddenly felt a wave of anger push over him and it only got worst when he had mentioned his relationship with Morgan. His already crossed arms tightened. "Were friends yeah, Why dose that matter..." his eyes narrowed at her.
"oh it doesn't, but you're clearly not just friends..." Hope shrugged "Just making a observation from the view of and outsider and you're body language speaks volumes." She chuckled looking him up and down "I just didn't peg you for the type to go for an older woman...."
Teddy felt his cheek flush. Sure he liked Morgan a bit more than he lead on. One of the main reasons he had agreed to an open relationship with Kirby was so that if he wanted to he could still see Morgan and wouldn't be an issue but that didn't matter anymore. "I Have a boyfriend Hope..." He explained then brushed her off "I think you better be heading out now, You have your food and its gonna get dark soon." He handed her the bag "It was good seeing you again but I've gotta get home..." he grabbed his own bag and came from behind the counter. Hope cut him off placing a hand on his chest running her manicured nail a long his chest. He exhaled deeply and rolled his eyes.
"shame" Hope said once again pouting "You seem like a lot of fun now Theodore" She noticed him cringe when she called him that and it made her smile devilishly. "If you're ever looking for a good time yourself, your boyfriend lets you off your leash, or you get bored with whatever game you're playing with Morgan..." She sauntered towards the door then paused to look back at him "Give me a call..." She winked before leaving.
Teddy stood there shocked, he couldn't comprehend what just happened. "Shit...shit shit shit" he knew he had to tell Morgan, this couldn't wait. He radioed Kirby to let them know he wouldn't be at the apartment that night and hopefully catch him before they got too far away from the commune. He ran out of the Restaurant locking the doors behind him and headed to Morgan's house.

closed starter for: @backmaskcd (jerico)
"dude, are you almost done? your hair isn't gonna look any better than it did five minutes ago when you were looking in the mirror. unless you're trying to look good for someone else; if you are, i'm telling bella." halley smirked to herself as she said this, eyes flicking up to catch sight of jerico. she was curled up in one of the chairs, knees pulled up so she could rest a magazine against them. she'd been waiting for jerico for the last fifteen minutes, her stomach growling loudly with the promise of grabbing something to eat. "you're pretty, but you're not this pretty."

closed starter for: @endlessreruns (felix)
despite seeing her name in the gossip column next to felix's, halley felt like she was incapable of keeping a low profile. the truth was she liked felix; he was quirky and easy to talk to, and she considered him a friend. a casual friend, but a friend nonetheless. scooping up a small pile of snow, the redhead formed it into a ball before tossing it at his back, watching it stick to the fabric of his coat as her arms shot up above her head. "nailed it!"

she'd become an expert at avoiding hope, her day to day routine changed up so she could get to work and get home without a run-in. but now halley was specifically seeking her mother out, walking into sally's dance hall slowly so as not to draw any attention to herself. halley still wasn't sure if she was ready to have a relationship with the woman who abandoned her, but she was ready to at least talk to her. spotting her now, the youngest of the macgillivrays approached her mother silently, daring to lean against the bar so as to make herself comfortable. she planned to be here for a while.
"hi, mom."

"i can't wait to get this stupid thing off of me. the fabric rubs at my arm weird and then i'm adjusting all fucking day. this 'being injured' thing? it's for the birds." halley spoke with a heavy sigh, her good arm tugging at her bad arm despite the shooting pain she felt in her shoulder. she wasn't good at having limited mobility, but tucking herself away somewhere with her older sister seemed to be the perfect distraction. when life felt like it was being thrown into a container and shaken up, she knew that being around zarina would put her at ease.
"anyway," she muttered now, turning to her sister with an almost keen smile. "i know huntsville is in shambles right now, but i think we could both use some sort of healthy distraction. do i dare ask you to catch me up on your life?"

you can sit beside me when the world comes down...
(a general overview of what my muses have been up to post-event)
ARTEMIS has mostly been laying low. she was unaffected by the destruction in town, but the emotional damage was enough to convince her she needs to keep her head down, and she's been spending more time at home or at work. she's been feeling more and more lonely these days, and as a result has decided to stop using physical intimacy as a coping mechanism. long story short, she's a reformed hoe.
BELLA has been splitting her time between jerico, the cruz-duttons, and her friends, but has mostly been with jerico. his injuries have worried her enough that she's in full-time panic mode, but is doing her best to hide it from everyone. she's also formed a new friendship with jessie, one that she plans to hold near and dear. just don't tell other people that she has a heart, she'll probably kick you in the shins.
CAIN suffered an eye injury during the earthquake, and has been sentenced to wear an eye patch for the foreseeable (pun intended) future. not being with val during the ordeal freaked him out, and they have been shacking up at his place for the past couple of weeks. he really only leaves the house to go to work, but he's been rendered useless since he needs both eyeballs in order to do his job properly. just call him captain cain and slap a pet parrot on his shoulder.
EZRA did not attend the event, as the idea of being around that many people freaks her out. she happily stayed at home with her books, but often visits the large cracks in town to inspect them. can usually be found staying out dangerously close to dark, but thinks nothing of it.
HALLEY sustained sprains to both her wrist and shoulder, but is otherwise unscathed. she's still quite emotionally stunted when it comes to her family situation, but chooses to distract herself by visiting mo as often as possible. she also spends a lot of time with zarina and knightley, but still doesn't fully open up about her feelings. she also confessed her feelings for saffron and doesn't regret it, but the very thought of liking someone that much terrifies her.
LAVENDER hasn't been doing so great for the past couple of weeks. the disappearance of her mother has left her feeling like a shell of a human, and no matter how much she tries to distract herself, she just can't shake it. she spends most of her time at work or around town, no longer feeling like the commune is home. however, she has no plans of moving out, so she's stuck in a limbo state currently.
LEIA was beebopping around until the earthquake hit, and then she scrambled home. she visits draven and salem more often than not, wanting to make sure that draven is okay despite how heavy things are at home.
LUCA has been hovering around parker as often as they'll let him. he didn't attend the event, but seeing so many people grieving and recovering makes him tense, so he's been spending most of his time at work. he does regular check-ins with all the weirdlings, and while he wants to pretend that he has no feelings, his concern for his little siblings for all intents and purposes outweighs any façade that he tries to put on. basically, this is the best time to try and befriend him.
ONDINE has been trying to adjust to life in town rather than the commune. her life has been uprooted in every sense of the word, and it's caused a lot of trust issues to develop that weren't there previously. she's made quick friends with celia, a good thing considering she's been bringing joei to work with her, and has begun settling into the idea of being around people outside of the commune. ondine wants to believe that she and joei are safe now that there's some sort of separation from absinthe, but she can't help but feel paranoid that something bad will happen at the drop of a hat.
PRUDENCE is living in a current state of grief and sadness. the loss of minnie hit her hard, so she's been trying and failing to find as many distractions as possible. she hasn't been sleeping much (if at all), and the exhaustion is starting to show. conrad's offer for her to stay over at the greene residence whenever she wanted has been accepted every single day since the earthquake. she's started to feel like a burden as of late, but she continues to show up at mason and conrad's door on a daily basis. she worries that she's overstaying her welcome and is waiting patiently for the day when they kick her out. spends most of her time crying but has become a pro at hiding it.
SALEM sustained some pretty serious burns from her shoulder down on her left side. in the past couple weeks she's visited the clinic a few times to make sure she's taking proper care of herself, but unless she's there or at work, she's spent most of her time at home. though draven tries to fuss over her, salem still keeps her focus on him, trying not to think too hard about what happened to her. however, she plans to cover up for quite some time, not wanting to draw attention to her burns. garnering extra attention is too scary.
SARE has spent most of her time working. she tries to check in with spencer even more now, not wanting to feel like a helicopter sister, but also wanting to make sure her little sibling is doing okay. she's finally coming around to the idea of having a closer relationship with sycamore, but she's choosing to take that one step at a time.
VIOLET has been a worrying mess since the earthquake. she's been trying to give saffron space, but has done at least one check-in (even if it's met with a grouchy attitude). she knows how worried rex is and has been spending as much time with him as possible so she can keep both of their minds at ease.
WOLF has been coping with his injury by cracking jokes and annoying arty. his hand was crushed badly by debris, and he anticipates that it'll never gain its full functionality ever again. while it's been extremely painful to deal with, his aversion to going to doctors (and being touched, for that matter) has made him refuse to go to the clinic. he will continue to cope with humor.
WYLIE is doing the worst of them all. minnie's death has left her feeling like she barely exists, and she cries most of her days away. she has stopped going to work all together, and when she is around other people, she mostly stays quiet until someone addresses her. wylie feels like there's no point to life anymore, and has no idea how to channel any of her emotions. coping mechanisms don't currently exist, and being around her can only be described as 'miserable'. she misses the love of her life.

location: the park
closed starter for: @callofthxvoid (zarina)
laid out on a blanket with her eyes focused on the sky, halley felt herself smiling softly. things had felt like they wee falling apart lately, like the ground she stood on was at risk of giving out at any moment, and the only thing holding her steady was her older sister. zarina was her happy place, the one person that she could tell every little thing to without feeling nervous in the process. at this point, she was even contemplating moving into the commune just to be closer to her. but halley was also working on not being completely impulsive, which is the only reason she still lived in town.
"that cloud looks like a bunny," she muttered, a hand lifting lazily to point out the fluffy rabbit in the sky. "and the one next to it? well, that one just looks like a butt."

You can sit beside me when the world comes down
If it doesn't matter, then just turn around
We don't need our bags and we can just leave town
You can sit beside me when the world comes down
We say
We do
The lies
The truth
And all I need is next to me
We're going fast

location: the dance hall
closed starter for: @lxvenderhxzehv (hope)
she'd snuck away from the festivities slipping through the cracks so she could sneak into the dance hall. everything was almost completely decorated, but halley wasn't there to spy on what it looked like. no, she was there to visit with hope. ever since meeting joey, she couldn't stop thinking about her mother, a pang of guilt radiating in her chest the second she saw the woman. halley felt like she shouldn't bother her at work, but that didn't stop her from moving further into the dance hall, somehow ready to seek comfort from a woman who didn't have much to do with her.
"mom?" she muttered, standing just a few feet away with her hands wringing together. "can i talk to you?"

location: the art festival
closed starter for: @endlessreruns (asher)
the best part about halley and asher was that silence was comfortable between them. halley had mastered the art of communicating with her coworker --- her friend, if you were to ask her about them --- which is why wandering around the festival with them now was easy. pausing, the redhead reached for a nearby object, holding it out to asher. "what do you think this is supposed to be? looks kinda like a butt to me."

closed starter for: @ghostsbrokenbyfairytales (reggie)
"uncle reggie," halley started, picking up a nearby object at one of the booths and scowling at it before setting it back down. "do you ever wonder why we ever leave the comfort of your house? like we could be there right now playing a game of chess or watching old cartoons, and yet we're here, pretending like either of us is good about public spaces." she paused then, looking over to the man who was essentially a second father to her. "we're in over our heads again."
