There Are So Many Muses That Are Teachers And That’s Just Absolutely *kiss* Gorgeous!

“Not street art, no,” Thomas said. “My art’s confined to sketch books and loose pieces of paper. Illustrator, cartoonist, those are my job titles right now.”

He felt a buzz of his phone in his pocket and plucked it out. “Laurel,” he blew out a huff. “Remind me again why you put me in the roommates group chat. I don’t even live there.”

Laurel felt her back pocket vibrate in sync with the buzz that came from Thomas’s, she glanced at the message and giggled. Rory. “I can’t believe she’s mad that I won’t have sex with her.” She looked up and smiled sympathetically. “Thomas, you say that as if you’re not part of our little family. The moment you walked through those doors it’s like you signed a contract to be with us until the day you die.”

Laurel sighed. “I have any idea--what do you say about designing a business card of mine?”

mirelakohler​:

“Alright, you got me there. The chances of being kidnapped is way higher than having a demonic doll in my house. You work with filming?”

“No--my research is purely selfish. Mainly so I can plan what movie we should cuddle to when we have a Netflix and chill date?”

YES MOMMA. YOU’RE KILLING IT! 👏👏👏

This was a stupid idea, Malachi thought as he clutched the small potted plant in his hands. Between his schedule and Athena’s exuberance, this little guy was doomed. Still, his apartment needed some brightening up and plants were the easiest way to that, weren’t they? “For clarification purposes.” he began, turning to the person beside him. “Cacti are virtually indestructible, right?”

LJ looked up from a succulent she planned on purchasing for herself. “You can actually kill them by over-watering it or keeping in a too-cold environment. Trust me,” she said showing him her thumb. “I’ve got myself a brown thumb. It took me a few tries before I could keep one of those spiky fuckers alive.”

“You know, if you spend more time walking around in a specific neighborhood, rather than relying on cars most of the time, you can actually stumble upon some pretty neat finds,” Thomas said, casually showing around a passerby. “Hole-in-the-wall restaurants, neat antique shops, you name it. You’d be surprised what kind of books you’d find in a no-name shop.”

“You’re really speaking my language,” Laurel muffled with a mouth full of soft pretzel. “I never would have seen this pretzel place next to the enchilada place if it wasn’t for you.” It was actually a lie--Laurel had been to that pretzel place plenty of time before this moment but she didn’t want Thomas to feel bad as a tour guide. When she first moved to the city, she explored Portland through every nook and cranny. It was rare that there was a hole-in-the-wall place she didn’t know about. “What about local artists? Are there ways you can stumble upon them by aimlessly wandering?”

Cammy smirked, hearing the other woman’s forwardness. “Smooth,” she mildly teased. “Maybe I can, but I’d like to get a name first. After all, going into stranger’s houses is definitely a risky thing to do. Horror movie one-oh-one, right?”

“Laurel Walker,” she stated proudly, as if using her married name from an illegitimate marriage was something to carry with pride. “And you passed my test. It only validated my reasoning to ask you out. I’m the assistant manager over at Crossroads. I have a cat named Einstein. And my favorite food is macaroni and cheese. See? Now we’re not strangers.”

★ ━  ( alisha boe,   cis female,   she/her )  ━ ★   just to be clear, ya didn’t get this information from me.   The person you’re lookin’ for is   LAUREL JANE WALKER (NEÉ MATLIND).  also known as   LJ.    Last I heard they were born on   JUNE - 29 - 1994   in    BALTIMORE, MARYLAND,   and they’ve been livin’ here in   RICHMOND,    for about    FIVE YEARS.   Word around the districts is,   LJ   can be  ALOOF,   IMPATIENT,   and    QUICK-TEMPERED, but alls I seen is good things, like the fact that they’re   LOYAL,   SELF-SUFFICIENT,   and    RESOURCEFUL,   but guess that depends on how well ya know ‘em.   The last thing ya need to know is that they work as an ASSISTANT MANAGER FOR CROSSROADS MUSIC and I don’t know much about what that’s like but I do know that’s all I can tell ya the rest you gotta find out on ya, own.

hi my friends! my name is lia, your resident filipin-ho (my bf made this pun) and self-designated bimbo pixie! if you wanna chat you can message me here or on discord! trixie tang 💋#5650

and this is my baby laurel, who quite honestly, this is my first time playing her and i’m so excited to flesh her out even further by plotting with all you beautiful people!

Here are a few tidbits about her:

MBTI:  ENFP PERSONALITY TYPE: The Catalyst (Innovation x Passion) COMMON ARCHETYPE: The Explorer FAVORITE MOVIE: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) FAVORITE MUSIC ARTIST: Mariah Carey QUICK BACKGROUND: Ran away from home after her high school graduation to elope and is now disowned by her parents. PETS: American Short-Haired Cat named Einstein

She is currently still legally married to her high school sweetheart who left her a month into their “marriage.” So her married name is Walker whereas she was born Matlind. 

She’s also an UNLICENSED esthetician - so do with that what you will!

She’s also a member of MENSA but she would never mention that to anybody. 

She hasn’t dated seriously since she and her “husband” split - a few hookups here and there.

She is bisexual. Little bisexual baby.

One of her favorite things to tell people when she first meets them is that  Kim Rhodes - the actress who plays the mom from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody once came into Crossroads to buy a first edition Joni Mitchell album. 

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

Existing/New beauty clients

Recurring customers that come into Crossroads

Friends

Roommate (maybe?)

Old hookups

Anything at all really!

“That is the worst question to ask me, it’s not fair. Horror films soothe my anxiety and with what I do, it’s basically a horror film marathon every night in  my home. My top five have to be The Exorcist, The Original Halloween, Scream for how campy it is, The Conjuring and The Original Nightmare on Elm Street.”

“Horror films soothe your anxiety? You must go through a lot during the day, Doc. Why don’t you just hire me as your own personal therapist? I’ll charge a flat fee instead of by the hour.”

“So out of those five, which one would you rather experience and live in?”
