Walking through the brisk morning air, a young man stifles a yawn, having stayed up a little later than normal. Only 2am of course, how bad could that be? Pretty awful if you have to work nearly 6 hours later, with little to no time to get ready for work the following morning. “Damn Fortnite is going to be the death of me…” the optician spoke, stifling yet another yawn, trudging through the streets of Boston to the nearest transit station. The walk from his condo wasn’t too far from his work, but on days where he got barely five and half hours of sleep, dragging his feet from his bed to his job was never a fun one, so the T was the only option.

It was cold out, cold enough that anyone smart enough would have worn a jacket. It’s not to say Kyle isn’t smart enough, he just really hates warm weather, so the cold provided him a necessary balance from his usual furnace level body temperature. That being said, he was at least smart enough to put on some gloves and wear a hat, as well as wear his Maui Jim sunglasses to combat the glaring fury of the sun; even then it was pretty bright.

Eventually making it to the stop, he pulled out his phone to check on any notifications either his boss or social media wanted to inform him of. As if on cue, Jamie’s blog sent a notification as soon as he pulled it out of his pocket, the screen suddenly turning on and showing a banner of bright cheeriness.

Jamie...Kyle pinched his brows a little, currently in his lack of sleep manner he was as bright as a ray of pitch black, coffee wouldn’t fix it but...maybe a little of reading would. Begrudgingly he turned on the blogging app to only realize that at full volume with strangers around him that this was a vlog, ”Jesus!” as he tried to pause the vlog. He had to pause a moment as people were staring at him, but he chuckled shyly, apologizing before putting in a ear bud and plugging it to the phone.

Turning on the app again he listened to his friend go on her rant, listing ‘positivity’ and ‘fighting her inner demons’, it was rather gushy. Then again, this was Jamie, the spirit of sunshine, puppycats and rainbows, a little much for Kyle at times, but then again a little nice and comprehensible. It was good knowing there was a friend out there who exuded such a brilliant and shining aura. It wasn’t to say he had any bad juju by far, but his aura was more on the calming and ‘think this through’ kind of side, one to help dampen emotion just enough to not let it run like a wild and raging horse in a river. Jamie was an exception, sometimes an annoying one, but an exception as he admired the green string that bonded to his finger, invisible to the naked eye, but not the soul.

Ending the vlog he sighed somewhat happily to himself, knowing this week would probably be a rough one, including the weeks ahead of him. The bus had arrived and he boarded it, taking care to swipe his transit card through before seating himself near the back. It was going to be a rather tedious time of the year, Insurance weeks had passed him a little over a month ago, but now a new beast had presented itself; Spectrum. While not necessarily a manager at ‘An Eye for Fashion’ optical boutique, he was more involved in the store than most anyone else, which left him the designated role of, how was it described again... “Director of Event Logistics”

So...COEL was his role in this division, that essentially meant calling every frame rep across the board to see if they’re willing to provide eyewear to display for Spectrum’s event. This also included, raffles, giveaways and who knows what else to appease the crowd and hopefully bring them into the boutique. It wasn’t like Kyle wasn’t up for a challenge, but it was tedious work, work that his boss should be doing. It’s not to say that his boss was lazy, but he definitely had a habit of dropping tedious workloads onto his employees. Well..another day, another dollar, the life of an Optician was certainly never a boring one. Brainstorming, he awaited for the inevitable signal that his stop for work was nearby, listlessly browsing the internet from his phone.

A car whizzes down the countryside, revving and roaring with each shift of the gear and press of the gas pedal. The air felt and smelt so much cleaner than L.A., her choice in moving having been more than a welcome one when she made it nearly 5 years ago. Adelaide mused on her life choices, how much had changed and how much simply stayed the same. Well she was still a pain in the ass (literally) to lecherous men, and Charlie now at the ripe age of 5 was just beginning to learn the benefits of climbing trees (Adelaide having to catch him from falling and scolding him for it more than once). She chuckled to herself, life certainly was a funny thing, and sometimes it was a tragic one.

Her mind wandered to darker places, her parents, her uncle, the Reese family now in their own time of crisis, two members simply...vanishing. Life could be unsettling sure, but for a father and his own child to suddenly disappear, it was just uncanny, coincidental even. The evidence seemed to point to the father kidnapping the child out of sheer insanity and devastation over his recent losses; who knew what his other children were going through. Maybe her neighbor will figure it out, that detective with those bright blue eyes and just tussled enough hair. Adelaide didn’t see him often, probably the conflicting schedules of a Nanny and an officer of the law, but when she did...man was he a looker. That being said, dating and relationships were the furthest thing from her mind, right now what mattered, was caring for those kids; they need their ‘Auntie’.

Shifting the gears she sped her way down the road, she knew Ana didn’t approve of tardiness, but beaut of a car had her covered. An ‘81 Trans Am, it was her Uncle’s, after his death she kept it as a memento, it even had some upgrade and alterations to the original, like having a stick shift transmission; automatics were for pussies anyway.


After some time she made it to the Victorian estate of Annabelle Dawson, the loaded and way too uptight lawyer, also her employer. Despite that description, Adelaide had some real appreciation for the woman, she was dedicated, focused and damn good at her job. That also being said, the money she was paid was real good, allowed her to have a home and buy clothing befit for presentation in front of her children, like the purple button up blouse that covered her tat and non-hole filled denims she wore. The dull revving of the Trans Am filled the air as it pulled into the driveway.

Interestingly enough someone was at the door...with flowers? Weird, didn’t think Ana would have found another Romeo given some of the stuff she’d heard about her ex. ’Huh… guess I’ll brighten the Boss’ day up’, she thought. Getting out of her car and closing the door, she casually strut over to the flower boy and piped up ”Can I help you or something?” The kid looked nervous, but stuttered out, “y-y-yes I’m hear t-to deliver some FLOWERS” his voice cracked. He coughed before continuing, “flowers t-t-o a uh…” he looked down at the card, “Ms…. uhh Daw-”. Adelaide had enough ”Yea-yeah, that’s me, give me the damn clipboard” she snatched the board from the kids hand, quickly forging her boss’ signature, shoved the clipboard back into his hands and snagged the flowers, ”Thanks kid, now buzz off” she jerked her head towards his car as he squealed in distress and bolted. ”Tsk...nobody need that shit” Turning to the door, she rapped on it with her knuckles before opening it, ”Oh Lucyyyy, I’m hooooommmme!”




The sound of a typewriter clacking away resounded in the small 1 bedroom apartment of the soon-to-be-famous reporter. It was dark, and dingy, with a thick layer of smoke from too many cigars, and a foul odor akin to a man who had barely ate, slept or showered in a week… Maybe even two, Jarrek couldn’t remember, couldn’t be bothered to care either, especially not since he was stuck with tedious editorial work when literally the BIGGEST SCOOP OF THE CENTURY WAS

RIGHT UNDER HIS NOSE!!!!!


”SON OF A BITCH!!!!” He shouted, slamming his meaty fists into his work desk, knocking over a glass, half-filled with bourbon onto the floor, shattering as it made contact. He stayed himself for a moment, heavy breathing the only sound in his ears, hands ringing from the sudden physical distress he brought them. ”Goddamn cocksuckers…. he muttered to himself before taking a big drag from a well wet and worn cigar he lit maybe 20 minutes ago. Exhaling with a few coughs in-between, he ripped the article he was working on into bits, throwing them into the mountainous pile beside him. Shoving the crinkled cigar into an ashtray he removed himself from his work desk to view his ‘connection wall’.

The wall was a mess of photographs, articles and red string, outlying the theories and connections that could possibly be related to the ‘real’ criminals of Millington. The Reese family was at the top of that list, oh sure, they might seem like homely individuals, real ‘Pillars of the Community’, but that didn’t make them perfect. Everyone has a secret, a truth to be revealed, theirs was somewhere along the lines of funding ammunition for those Sand-Nigger, Pig-Fuckers in the Taliban and Afghan Army. Hell, today could be the American Dream, and tomorrow, the 4th Reich is slamming their Ubermensch barbed dildos right into Uncle Sam.

Jarrek sighed heavily, running his hand down his sweaty brow to his scraggly facial hair. Looking at the wall he pondered, ”How long since the disappearances?” He had so many questions, so many theories, but his Jew Penny Pincher of a Boss wouldn’t let him near the Reese Family. ”They’ve been through enough already he says. I won’t let you harm a single hair on their reputable head he yells!” Groaning in frustration, Jarrek fetches another glass before pouring himself whatever was left of the bourbon. A small amount to be sure, but enough until he could get himself another bottle.

Downing in one go, he decided enough was enough; Jarrek Garrethorn had to take initiative. Finding the least smelly clothes, donning his jacket and shades, and applying some cologne for good measure, the man of the hour finally exited his apartment, unleashing a deathly miasma from its core. Lookout Town of Millington! A storm is brewing, and it’s name…. Is Hurricane Jarrek!



@Garattee One more word out of your mouth...
@lovely complex

Awesome ^^ I did add a little update since last season. Ashton got hurt on the job, so she's on medical leave (unwillingly) for the moment. Now she can spend quite a bit of her time romancing socializing! ^o^


Yay! And socialization with her bestie Kyle XD
@Dynamo Frokane Aww, but wouldn't it be fun to go round 2 in another street brawl?

On that note, I'm actually not as inspired as I thought for a new character so...Kyle's back! Feel free to look at my CS again.
