The village of Bleak Crest has a bloody history. It started in 1968 with the death of Billy Daniels, a young man who fell to his death in a tragic accident atop Lover’s Point. It’s said that Billy haunts the village of Bleak Crest, with many people attributing various deaths, accidents, and disappearances to the ghost of poor Billy Daniels.

Billy is not the only local legend in town, as the recently deceased Devon Barrett kick-started his tremendous writing career in the early 90s with fictionalizations of some of these incidents from his time in Bleak Crest as a young man, although even Devon dared not touch the memory of Billy Daniels. His books have seen him win awards globally, and he’s said to have cultivated a new wave in crime fiction. Approaching 80, he retired late last year and made his way back to Bleak Crest to live out his golden years. Those golden years were unfortunately short-lived, as Devon passed from a heart attack just four and a half months after his return home.

Many have either been personally invited to attend the funeral and wake of Devon Horace Barrett, as someone he knew and cared about in life, as per his end-of-life plans, or someone who lives locally, who has been invited to attend to celebrate the life of a local celebrity. As a well-travelled man, it’s expected that attendees will be coming from all corners of the globe to pay tribute to his life.

send in a "🏠" and i'll write a hc abt the diner squad from a list that's been steadily added to ever since work began to increase our hours and decrease my sanity! (available on @bailesona!!)

wyll, jj, kate and laszlo have all formed what they call the "wine and wag wednesday club". basically they just meet up every wednesday evening, sit in their cozy bathrobes and fluffy slippers around the firepit on the roof, and discuss local gossip while drinking glasses of fruity rosé wine. unlike most of the other diner squad activities, this is one that's always ended up just being the four of them. kate enjoys it as it tells her more about this new world she finds herself in. jj likes it because nobody ends up being shot at. laszlo just enjoys bitching about people and finding new pieces of scandalous gossip to hold over people's heads. wyll finds a surreal comfort in the faint nostalgia of sitting around a fire with his friends.

when she hears the knock on her door, it's yet another reminder of the unusual security that dwells here. her reputation was a lock that nobody dared to trespass against, before. but here, her privacy and secrets are granted a guaranteed security that she feels oddly curious about. everyone knocks on the doors. stanley and nate came to take her shopping last week, and they knocked and refused to come in until she said so. advik wanted to show her a family of raccoons, and sent her a text message on the phone that she still finds to be a touch too bizarre to understand. and now, whoever stands on the other side of the door shows the same respect. she lowers the phone, still perched on the window sill as though prepared to escape at a moment's notice. but for now, she's content to stay where she is.
