Hello everybody! The name’s Cat (or Speedy... I answer to both). I’m 25, cisfemale, and from the EST timezone. I’ve recently just started a new job; and I’m also still recovering from a surgery I had last month. So I will apologize in advance if my activity isn’t the greatest. I promise it’ll pick up once my life becomes less hectic...

Anyway, I bring to you my little weirdo Ellis “Elly” Munro. She’s a modified version of a character I’ve played in a few groups before; so I’m interested in seeing how Crownsville Elly turns out. This RP honestly looks so great; and I can’t wait to start plotting with y’all!

[ willa holland, twenty-three, cisfemale, she/her ] — hey, I just saw [ ellis “elly” munro ] walking down the streets of crownsville. they’ve lived in town for [ two years ], and you can catch them around town working as a [sales associate at shazam comics ]. I hear they’re known to be [ loyal & determined ] and [ stubborn & cynical ]. if asked, they would say their aesthetic would be [ sushi rolls, piles of comic books, extra large cups of coffee, movie theatres, bruised knuckles, hospital bracelets ].

Backstory (trigger warning: mentions of chronic illness)

Ellis Amalia-Rose Munro, more commonly known as Elly, was born and raised in Los Angeles (Hollywood), California to an up-and-coming thriller screenwriter/director and his trophy wife. She was their second child, having a brother roughly thirteen years older.

Growing up, her family was well-off due to her father’s success with many of his films. He was, by no means, a household name as far as filmmakers went; but for fans of thrillers, most knew at least a good handful of his work (think of him like Shyamalan only not quite as popular).

She actually had a tendency to have a small role in every single one of her father’s films. This continued up until she moved away for college.

At the age of 3, she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She had faced multiple lung infections as well as poor weight gain for her first few years of life, thus leading to the diagnosis.

Her CF has always been well managed. It’s not something she ever let get in her way. She was always the very rambunctious and active child, just sometimes needing to take more breaks than others.

She was also a child model from the ages of 7-11. An agent had seen her in one of her father’s films and reached out. She was compliant for a few years; but modeling just was never really her thing.

Her mother is from Chelsea, London; and she grew up visiting her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins there every summer. London is one of her favorite places to go; and she’s quite proud of her British heritage.

At a young age, she was introduced to the world of comics and superheroes; and she was hooked from the start. She used to pretend she was a superhero, running around her house dressed like her favorites and wishing she had superpowers.

Due to her love of comics and superheroes, her parents thought it would be a good idea to get her involved in activities that would allow her to “train to be a superhero”. They signed her up for martial arts (she’s now a 4x blackbelt) and gymnastics. This way, she could use her imagination and stay in shape.

As the years went on, fencing and archery were added to Elly’s list of activities. And as soon as she learned what it was, she took up parkour as well. And out of everything she’s done, parkour has forever been her favorite.

She was actually once scouted for the Olympic archery team; and her coach kept encouraging her to train for a goal of the Olympics. But she never had any interest. To her, archery was just a hobby and nothing more.

After high school, she decided to go across the country for college; and wanting to stay in an area with warmer weather (she hates the cold/snow), she decided on attending the University of Miami as a psychology major.

While attending the University of Miami, she initially had no desire to end up on Greek Row. But she ultimately ended up pledging for and joining a sorority (Chi Omega) during her time at the college.

Loving the east coast, she figured she’d want to stay in Miami or go elsewhere in Florida upon graduation (or not as she only finished three years of school); but she somehow ended up settling in the small town of Crownsville, Georgia. She’d gone home over the holidays with a friend who lived there; and she just felt drawn to the town.

That was a little over two years ago. Elly’s been in Crownsville pretty much ever since. She’s started making a life for herself here. She’s gotten a job working as a sales associate at Shazam Comics; and she’s also gotten herself a little apartment downtown. And while she often does miss California and her family, she’s started to become really happy in small town Georgia.

When it comes to her CF, she’s always been one to not feel the need to hide it. She’s been like this since she was little; and even now, she doesn’t feel the need to hide. It’s not something she tells everything; but she’s okay with people knowing she’s sick.

Another important thing about Elly is the fact she’s training to hopefully make it on to American Ninja Warrior. She fell in love with the show when she first saw it several years back; and given her hobbies, she’s always felt like she was a good candidate. She has yet to try out; but her plan is to try out this upcoming season.

Recently, however, her health has started to decline. Her lung function is now in the yellow; and it’s really scared her. She’s started to wonder if she should give up on her American Ninja Warrior dream in favor of her health. Her fall back plan is to open her own archery school or maybe get back into acting.

Likes: comic books, superheroes, coffee, sushi, movies, parkour, archery, katanas, tattoos, cosplaying, video games, flannel, hoodies, beanies, combat boots, avocados, star wars, workouts, roses, kingdom hearts, stitch, stuffed animals, british sweets, funkos, motorcycles, skateboarding, jolly ranchers, american ninja warrior, bdsm

Dislikes: hospitals, swimming, cold weather, snow/ice, kale, cats, needles, alcohol, energy drinks, high heels

Misc. Facts

Her parents almost named her Ellis Isla; but they opted not to due to the fact it sounded too close to Ellis Island.

She has 4 blackbelts (karate, taekwondo, jiujitsu, krav maga); so don’t piss her off.

She can swim; but she’s honestly not a fan of water. Despite growing up in California, she doesn’t like the ocean.

She doesn’t like the taste of alcohol; so she doesn’t drink. If you ever see her drinking, she’s probably in a really bad place.

She can do a spot-on impression of Aqua from Kingdom Hearts and a pretty decent impression of Stitch.

She loves stuffed animals. Her bed is covered in them. Her favorites are Batbear, Stitch, Toad, and a sushi roll with a face. Batbear is like her security blanket.

She does have her driver’s license; but she doesn’t have a car in Crownsville. She has her red Ducati; but Uber is still her preferred mode of transportation.

She was born a month and a half prematurely. Her due date was February 14th.

Because of her CF, she has a feeding tube (g-tube) that’s normally hidden under her clothing. She also does several daily treatments (nebulizers, vibrating vest) to combat her symptoms as well as takes pancreatic enzymes before each meal.

She wears a medical ID bracelet that states she has CF and that she’s allergic to latex, penicillin, and prednisone. It’s not noticeable as an ID bracelet unless one really looks at it.

She has saved two people from getting hit by cars by pushing them out of the way and taking their place. The first time, she was 15. The second time, she was 23.

[trigger warning] She is actually unable to have children of her own; but she doesn’t actually know this yet. could be potential plot-line if anyone is ever interested

Wanted Connections

Older Brother — This is pretty self explanatory. Elly has an older brother; and this connection is for him. I picture him being roughly ten years older than she is (give or take a few years) and being in Crownsville for reasons UTP. His faceclaim and name are also UTP (though I gotta admit my bias towards Stephen Amell or Colin Donnell FCs). OPEN (0/1)

Father — Elly’s father is a thriller screenwriter and director by the name of Chandler Munro. I think it might be cool if he showed up in Crownsville for whatever reason. He could be filming a movie in the small town or just coming to catch up with his children. I would like his FC to be John Barrowman; though I am open to discuss others. OPEN (0/1)

Extended Family — Maybe for some reason, one of Elly’s extended family members (most likely a cousin from England) comes to visit her in Crownsville and ends up staying for awhile. OPEN (0/?)

College Friend — This connection is for the friend with whom Elly went home for the holidays with one year while attending the University of Miami. This friend lived in Crownsville and is part of the reason Elly lives there now. Everything about this friend is UTP: name, age, gender, faceclaim, etc. I’m not picky; though I would love for them to have stayed friends. TAKEN (1/1)

Childhood Friends — This is for any friends of Elly’s from back when she lived in Los Angeles. She could’ve known them back in elementary, middle, or high school. They could’ve lost touch and then met up again in Crownsville or stayed friends since they first met. OPEN (0/?)

Roommate — Upon first coming to Crownsville, Elly got herself a decent sized apartment downtown. I would love for her to have a roommate she shares this apartment (and its rent) with. TAKEN (1/1)

Ex-Roommate — This was a previous roommate of Elly’s. This individual stopped being her roommate for reasons open to discussion. OPEN (0/2)

Ride or Die — Give me a ride or die bestie for Elly please. I have no preference for gender, age, how they met... Everything would be discussed upon inquiry. I just want her to have that one person she’d do anything for. OPEN (1/2)

Nurse Friend(s) — Elly is kind of a wild one. With her hobbies and desire to be on American Ninja Warrior, she has quite the tendency to get injured. She could definitely use some friends with medical training to help her out from time to time. OPEN (1/?)

Doctors — Since Elly has CF, she does spend a good amount of time at doctors offices. This connection would be for any of the doctors who treat her; though I mostly would love to see her pulmonologist. OPEN (0/?)·

Red Band Society — This is for anyone else dealing with any type of medical condition. Elly and these individuals have formed a sort of support system for one another. OPEN (1/?)

Ex-Boyfriend(s) — Again, this is super self explanatory. Elly and this guy (or guys if I decide to make her have more than one ex) used to date. And now they’re not. Why they broke up and all the details of their relationship would be discussed upon inquiry. They could either be total enemies now or still be cordial. OPEN (0/3)

Friends With Benefits — I feel like most of my wanted connections are self explanatory. This is your standard friends with benefits connection and plotline. It could have the potential to turn into something or just stay FWB. OPEN (1/2)

Straight Until Prove Bi — As of now, Elly identifies as straight; but I am not against her having an experience with another girl. OPEN (0/1)

Future Love Interest — Self explanatory. At some point in the future, Elly is gonna end up in another relationship. This is mostly open to males; but I would not object to a female if the chemistry was there. OPEN (0/1)

Workout/Sparring Buddies — Elly spends a lot of her free time working out; and it’d be great for her to have someone she can work out with. Whether it be at the gym, while kickboxing, or even while doing parkour, a friend can make a workout so much less boring and routine. OPEN (0/?)

Stylist — Elly has been very much a tomboy since she was small. This connection would be for the individual in Crownsville who attempts to give her a makeover and make her more “girly”. TAKEN (1/1)

Tattoo Artist — Elly loves tattoos and is working on obtaining quite the collection. This individual is the one who has done most of hers and is the one she’d go back to when she’s ready to get her next tattoo. OPEN (0/2)

Fans of Chandler Munro — Like stated in her little backstory, Elly’s father (Chandler Munro) is a thriller movie director and screenwriter. I’d like if there was someone who was a big fan of her father’s films and tried to use Elly to get autographs, spoilers of upcoming movies, a small role in an upcoming movie, etc. OPEN (0/?)

General Friends, Frienemies, Co-Workers, Neighbors, etc.

More to come...

Daggers (Part 2)

Genre - Suspense? Mystery? Smluff?

Warnings - Long fucking chapter. Most likely probably gonna be the only chapter without violence.

Pairing - None, as of right now

"Douglas Louis's daughter, Y/N, was attacked earlier tonight by, who cops are saying, a man who used to work for Mr. Louis. His daughter is currently being treated at the Francis Dale Hospital. More on this story as it develops."

Y/N throws a pillow at the TV, hoping that it will somehow change to a trashy reality show. Sejeong looked at her best friend, "if you break it, I think you have to pay for it."

"Jeong-Jeong, I really don't care right now."

"Well, you're gonna have to care about this situation, some guy attacks you and then a masked hero saves you, but you didn't tell them that. You need to say someth-"

"I can't. I don't even know who the guy was."

"You said one of them sounded like that kid who was at the coffee shop earlier, what about that?"

Sejeong did have a point, Y/N distinctly remembered the voice of her classmate, Haechan. He always seemed to be texting his friend in class. Y/N felt bad for looking at someone's phone, but when it's the only light in a darkened area, she couldn't help but look over. The contact name was Mark and then what she assumed was his Korean name. Haechan was a transfer student, just one of many, from the Smith Masters Academy. More are supposed to be arriving throughout the month, but so far, it's only been Haechan and some girl named Joy.

"Before we leave, ma'am," a cop came in the room along with Y/N's dad, "we just want to make sure what happened is what happened."

"I was attacked by some maniac and I don't know what happened after that."

"Are you sure? The doctor said there was no sign of any head injury," Y/N nodded as the cop was talking.

"I'm positive, I don't remember anything."

Sejeong looked at her friend with disappointment in her eyes and the cop left.

"Honey, they said you'll be here for the night, just to be safe and you'll be discharged in the morning. Me and Sejeong have to go," Sejeong stood up and got ready to call an uber when Mr. Louis cut her off, "I'll give you a ride home."

Mr. Louis gave Y/N a kiss on her forehead and Sejeong hugged her, she whispered in Y/N's ear, "Please don't do anything stupid." Y/N let go and pinky-promised.

"I'll try not to."

When they left, the rest of the night was relatively calm. Y/N was soundly sleeping, but she woke up around 2:09am and she could've swore she saw a man standing outside her window. She thought it was just a dream and promptly fell back asleep.

Two guys sat on the roof by the window, wearing all black and masks that covered most of their face, only exposing the eyes.

"Hyung, do you think she saw?"

"I don't know, Gadget. But we need to tell him that she's safe, she's being treated and she's sleeping. And I've told you don't call me Hyung when we're in a mission."

"Well, excuse me, Chameleon!"

"This is why we don't let you go out on missions, now come on. We have to get back."

The next morning, Y/N was picked up by her father and discharged with no complications. "Here, just some numbers if you need to talk to someone." A nurse handed Y/N some papers and they were off on their way.

"Before you hate me, we're gonna having some guests, there's 9 of them," her dad said from the passenger seat, handing her a bag of clothes, "They're transfer students, I offered for them to stay, and yes, one of them is that Haechan boy from your computer class. I planned on telling you last night."

Y/N sat in silence while she changed out of her scrubs.

Her dad sighed, "I can sense your excitement, they're waiting for us at home."

Y/N waited, her anxiety through the roof. She was about to have 9 new roommates and one of them was her classmate. She has heard rumors about Haechan, about how he's a serial killer and just Satan in the body of a kid. What if he finds her diary? What if he goes through her phone and finds the photos of her celebrity crushes? In the time she spent worrying about the boys, the car came to an abrupt stop.

"Honey, we're home," her dad's voice echoed throughout the car, waking her up from her anxious daydream. Y/N grabbed her bags and started to walk her way towards the door.

"What did Sejeong tell you last night? Don't do anything stupid, was it?"

Y/N chuckled, opening to the door to the huge 3-story mansion and immediately getting ran over by a body built like a tree.

"Oh shit, Y/N, I'm so sorry, let me help you up," a boy with curly, light brown hair stretched out his arm to pull the fallen girl up.

"It's okay, I'm fine, really. I'm assuming you're one of my new houseguests? And why were you running?"

"Johnny, at your service. The rest of us are somewhere, I think Taeil, Doyoung and Yuta are in the living room. Me, Winwin and Jaehyun are trying to chase a cat that's been runn-"

"Enough said, that's my cat, Drippy."

"I'm scared to ask why you have a cat named Drippy"

"He's a kitten one of the foster girls gave me before I left, she found him during a rainstorm and he dripped everywhere. He's about 7, so if you could not give him a heart attack, that would be fantastic."

A cough interrupted Y/N and Johnny's conversation, another boy, covered in leaves and with a rather annoyed expression, holding a fat munchkin cat stood by the staircase heading up to the second floor.

"Winwin, and I assume this is Drippy," Winwin spoke. The cat bit his arm and ran away, "fucking asshole. You," He said, pointing at Johnny, "The cat's a dick too" Y/N went up to Winwin and took a look at his arm, "don't worry, he's not poisonous, looks like he broke the skin, but it's not that bad, I've had harder," Winwin blushed at the seemingly innuendo.

Y/N noticed the blush, "Uh, oh, no- not like that."

A few awkward moments passed.

"Let's go clean this up, I'll see you later, Johnny."

Leaving the giant man standing in the foyer, Y/N took Winwin to the guest bathroom and looked for the first aid kit.

"He's normally not like that unless he's scared. He's a very chill cat, he's just not used to have a boy, let alone 9 around him."

Winwin stood in silence while Y/N found the kit, "this may sting a little, but it's just a cleaner," Y/N spritz the bite, causing Winwin to wince a bit. Y/N wiped it dry and stuck a band-aid on the wound.

"There, it's fine now, no infection, now you can make up a cool story you can tell if someone asks what happened."

Silence from the male.

"Okay. I'll be going, let me know if you want a tou-"

"Be careful of Hyung, please."

Winwin spoke, eyes bugged out, before running out of the room.

Y/N mumbled to herself, "What?"

"Y/N, come down to the foyer to meet the guys," her father's voice boomed.

Y/N didn't waste any second to race back through the first floor to see 9 boys standing, talking with her dad. There was one who stopped talking with everyone to just stare at her. He had dark brunette hair, his hair was laid across his forehead, covered in sweat. He must be Jaehyun, sweaty from chasing Drippy around the house.

"Gentlemen, this is my daughter, Y/N Louis. She's been living with me for about 7 years and she's the star of my eye, my rare gem, who hopefully will take over my business in a few years. Y/N, these are the transfer students who will be staying with us." Y/N's father walked to an average height boy and started to introduce them.

"This is Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Winwin, Mark and I know you already know Haechan. Quinn already gave them the house tour, except for Jaehyun, so if you don't mind sharing him around, that would be fantastic," he said, turning to the guys, "if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask."

8 of the boys took that as a dismissal and scurried off like cockroaches in the middle of the night, leaving just Y/N and Jaehyun.

"I don't have to show you around, you can go play with Haechan and Drippy," she said half-giggling, partly due to the awkwardness of standing in front of an attractive guy.

"Uh, actually I heard something about a library, I'd like to see that if possible." When Y/N heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Yea, it's my favorite place, come on," Y/N grabbed Jaehyun's wrist and dragged him up the stairs, all the way down the right hallway and opened the door at the end. The library was huge, two stories, it looked like it was an actual library someone would find in the middle of a small town. Y/N let out of his wrist and started to run through the shelves.

"When I was younger, I would always run through the shelves and play hide and seek with some of the staff," she felt a security in the huge space, she could feel herself spilling her guts to nothing, even though there was a 6 foot guy standing at the door.

"I thought you were supposed to give me a tour," He spoke up.

"I will if you find me," Y/N's voice echos throughout the space.

It was like a switch flipped in Jaehyun's brain. He ran in between every shelf, up and down the aisles of books.

"You know, for someone who just got home from the hospital, you're very hyper," Jaehyun said. He found a bookshelf that looked out of place, he pushed it in and finally found the girl sitting in a bay window with a sketch book and some paints.

"I knew as soon as I got these out, you would find me," the troublemaker sighed, putting her paints back.

"You don't have to get me the tour now, we can just stay here if you want."

"No, you need the tour, I just wanted to have some fun after last night."

Jaehyun stiffened at the mention of the night before, "yea, it's nice to know you're okay. Haechan talks to Mark about you all the time." The girl seemed shocked.

"Huh?"

"Oh, Haechan and Mark are best friends, they're like little brothers to the rest of us," he confessed as the two walked through the shelves, "we saw it on the news and Haechan started crying, he said you're the only person to ever care about him at that hellhole of a school."

"Well, from what I've seen, he's a good kid, I don't believe any of that crazy bullshit people say about him."

Y/N and Jaehyun walked around in silence, until his hand nudged hers.

"Uhh..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mea-,"

"Jaehyun, it's fine."

As Y/N continued to walk forward, Jaehyun blurted out, "Hey, I know we just met, but what about a date later tonight in your little nook?"

Y/N looked at the tall boy who's strutting in front of her, thinking.

"How about midnight? That way we know everyone is asleep."

"I'll be there."

(E/N) Part 2! Also, I have figured out how to turn on questions and anon, so feel free to do the "Ask my Muses" or request a drabble. I'm off to work on the Pixie!Pristin post while putting off cleaning my room.

cut for endless venting about my family

conversations with my mother

(the 17 lb cat has enthroned himself on her lap, where he will happily remain for hours, which is downright dangerous since she had blood clots in her legs which migrated to her lungs and nearly died, but god forbid she prioritize her own health over the cat’s total comfort)

me: “can i get you anything? water, tea?”

mom: [sadly, looking forlornly at the sip of tea still left in her cup] “oh, i guess not...”

me: “... would you like some more tea?”

mom: “yes, i would”

me: “aslskafhjkgh”

[three minutes later, bringing her fresh tea]

mom: [panicked, frantically shaking her leg] “i can’t feel my foot. it’s completely numb, i can’t feel- i can’t stand up, i can’t feel anything-”

me: “uhhh let me get the cat off your lap first off”

mom: “no no no, it’s okay, i don’t want to disturb him, i just-”

me: [ignores her and picks up the cat, now purring furiously flopped upside down in my arms] “why don’t i maybe shut him out of your room for a bit”

mom: “no no, i’m fine, i just, don’t hurt his feelings, don’t upset him!”

me: [cat is now half asleep with his head tucked into my elbow] “i think he’s okay, mom.”
