i knew i'd curse you for the longest time, chasin' shadows in the grocery line.

.*･｡ﾟ ━ ( dakota johnson / cis woman / she/her/hers ) i think i just saw FIONA WALSH on the subway. the THIRTY year old BASSIST has been living on cornelia street for THREE YEARS. fiona’s friends know her to be amiable, charismatic & resolute but she has a reputation on cornelia street for being tempestuous, impatient & garrulous. when i see fiona , i can’t help but think of calloused fingers strumming strings late into the night when the rest of the world is asleep, mindless nervous chatter spilling out in between puffs of a menthol & the bitter feeling of intense betrayal ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear LONG LIVE, CARDIGAN when i see pronoun walk by-

i knew you'd miss me when the thrill expired.

full name: fiona elizabeth walsh.

nicknames: fi.

birthplace: new hope, pennsylvania.

birthdate: august 19th, 1992.

zodiac sign: leo.

gender: cis woman.

sexual / romantic orientation: bisexual / biromantic.

personality type: infp.

full bio (fancy schmancy google doc link coming soon)

the summary

if 'most likely to run off to new york with the love of their life' was a superlative, no one would have voted for fiona, but, as luck would have it, that's exactly what she did. part of it came from having wonderful, loving parents who (much to their chagrin once it came time for their eldest child to leave flee the nest) had instilled in all three of their children the confidence that they could do absolutely anything. that combined with the hubris of youth had fiona confident, not even considering just how hard it was to make it in the big apple. well, all of that and just the fact she would have followed her partner anywhere.

what had first come up in the form of midnight what-ifs, barely pondered in-between giggles and smooches led to the two of them fleeing town with... well, not much. fiona was nineteen, soon to be twenty, and had very little. her entire life fit into two bags and one cracked leather bass case. no way she could leave her prized possession behind. the instrument gifted to her on her thirteenth birthday by the man who gave her her love for music—her father. accountant by day, he played bass in a grateful dead cover band at night. while she was more interested in cherry garcia than jerry, she thought it was the coolest thing and begged him to teach her to play. all in all, she has him to thank for all this—if long live ever wins a grammy, she's including that in her thank you speech.

they'd barely settled into new york life when she responded to a flyer advertising an open spot in a band. they needed a bassist, she was happy to oblige. granted, she never, ever expected things to turn out the way they did. she figured it'd give her the chance to jam and maybe make some friends. but all it took was a few practices and she was as invested as the founding members. it took a lot of hard work, shitty apartments (fiona and her partner moved several times before settling in cornelia street, seeking cheaper rent) and even shittier jobs but it's worth it. fiona will never forget the day they found out they were going on tour. heartbreaking in hindsight, but still easily one of the best days of her life.

when she returned home, armed with new stories, presents, and a collection of polaroid's to show off, she had been excited, looking forward to reuniting with her partner, but also nervous. she had bad news to break: she was leaving again. she wouldn't be as far away and it would, hopefully anyway, not last at long. but, while on the road, long live's manager had rented them a house. if anyone asks, it's a creative oasis, a necessary quarantine to get their next album. but, really, it was to, yeah, get the album out but also to keep everyone in line and under supervision. things had gotten tough on the road and while fiona was used to playing peacemaker, even she had struggled to put out some of those fires.

she wasn't sure how her partner would react and never really got the chance to tell them. she knew right away something was wrong, before they had even spoken. the body language had given them away. but, even then, she had not expected to hear they had cheated on her. she was devastated. just like that, her whole world was shattered. this was the person she was closest to, the one she loved so much, and all it took was her to be gone for a few months for them to seek out another person. that kind of betrayal hit hard and deep. in a daze, she grabbed her bags and turned right around, heading to the long live house.

now she's dodging texts and ignoring calls while trying to babysit fully grown adults and figure out her relationship status. she thinks, at least part of her does anyway, that she wants to move past this but she doesn't know how that's even possible. she's just too angry and hurt to think about it logically, instead she'd rather just throw herself into the new album and music.

JULIAN WRIGHT ✦ THIRTY-6 ✦ THE PIEMAKER

❝ Never be so polite, you forget your power . . . Never wield such power, you forget to be polite . ❞

🥧 .*·。ﾟ ━ ( lee pace / cis man / he/him ) i think i just saw JULIAN WRIGHT on the subway. the THIRTY-SIX year old CAFE OWNER has been living on cornelia street for SIX YEARS. Julian’s friends know him to be helpful, honest, & witty , but he has a reputation on cornelia street for being naive, gullible & self conscious. when i see first name , i can’t help but think of smell of fresh baked bread in the morning, nervous laughter, and writing uncomfortable news in cake icing ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear MARJORIE, THE LAKES, TIS THE DAMN SEASON

NAME: Julian Alexander Wright.

FACECLAIM: Lee Pace

PRONOUNS : He/Him

GENDER: Cis-Man

AGE: Thirty-six

ORIENTATION: Homosexual. The one thing about being in a small town that Julian doesn’t miss is the small town gossip. It’s partly the reason he began to feel more comfortable staying in New York where he was able to explore his sexuality without judgement or fear. Since growing up though, he’s accepted that side of himself though he still tends to keep it on a need to know basis.

HOMETOWN: Grand Rapids, MI

OCCUPATION: Owner and operator of Marjorie’s. Marjorie’s – the local cafe & bakery open since 1931. Made from the freshest local ingredients you can find bread, cake, and pies baked to order. Don’t forget to grab a jar of their famous Marjorie’s marmalade!

BIOGRAPHY

There’s a saying, that New Yorkers are born all over the world. However for Julian, he had always felt like he was misplaced. New York is full of constant noise and people always in a rush to get where they’re going. For a young Julian, a kid with big eyes and fragile feelings, he felt like grass trying to grow through the cracks in the sidewalk cement. He had always been a quite, skittish, and awkward but always well meaning. Seemingly too soft, his parents would send him to spend the summers with his grandmother Marjorie where he was initially overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle of the city. However, despite his initial reluctance, he grew to love those summers.He would help her at her bakery, reading a book as he worked the counter. Meanwhile his grandmother greeted every customer by name with a smile and light conversation, and little Julian wondered how she made it look so easy.

He learned that in New York, he could be anyone he wanted to be. No one knew how bitterly uncool he was back home, how he struggled to make small talk and spent his afternoons browsing internet forums. Julian was the mysterious out of town-er, coming and going like a summer breeze. It was nice to see people get excited about his return to the neighborhood, hearing his name yelled out with enthusiasm turning a corner in the grocery aisle. Once he got older, he had come into his own, growing into his long limbs and found people who seemed to like him for who he was. Slowly his visits became less frequent, and the summer loves became a distant memory. Nothing more than a random social media like every couple of months and a quick facetime call to his grandmother once a guilty reminder flashed on his phone.

However, when Marjorie got sick, Julian had taken it upon himself to become her caregiver. So he put law school on pause to help keep her cafe running. While it seemed like an insane concept to his friends, to Julian it was a no brainer. Besides, it would be just like those summers oh-so long ago, right? It turns out, seeing how things work from above the counter, baking is a lot more technical than he had thought. Though it proved to be much more fulfilling than studying at his prestigious Ivy League graduate school. Every day he was able to see the way a customer’s face would light up at the first bite of their morning bagel or the love in a young couple’s eyes as they picked out their wedding cake, it actually made him excited to get up in the morning even during the cold months when he was warm and comfortable wrapped up in his comforter.

Unfortunately, those idyllic mornings of preparing the shop wouldn’t last as long as Julian would have liked -- When Marjorie passed away, Julian was utterly distraught. It was like he became a shell of himself and it look him weeks to even set foot into the cafe which she had left to him. It came with a heavy heart when he put up the bakery for sale, but he didn’t know if he would ever enter Marjorie’s without breaking into tears. It was only when a little girl approached him at the farmer’s market asking if he would open to in time to make her birthday cake that he realized that he wasn’t ready to give up on the legacy his grandmother created in the town. It was that moment that he decided that he couldn’t just leave. So he took down the For Sale sign and put on the apron, making his residence permanent. While it has been an overwhelming experience, he realizes it was the community that made it worth it. Even when the days are hard, it’s the smile in people’s faces that he feels his grandmother’s warmth still with him.

.*･｡ﾟ ━ ( melisa asli pamuk / cis woman / she/her) i think i just saw ZEYNEP SADIK on the subway. the TWENTY-NINE year old PUBLICIST has been living on cornelia street for FOUR YEARS. zeynep’s friends know her to be perspicacious , zealous & vivacious , but she has a reputation on cornelia street for being devious , mercurial & imprudent. when i see zeynep , i can’t help but think of the well-planned coverup of a scandal , perfectly tailored designer clothing & the almost overwhelming need to protect a good thing ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear LAVENDER HAZE when i see her walk by-

zeynep ayla sadik, just consider her cornelia street's tree paine.

bisexual.

born september 13, 1993 - we love virgos around here, okay?

the only child of the now former chairman and ceo of sony music and a one-hit-wonder pop star.

was really just faced with opulence and excess from the moment she was born. her silver spoon was probably diamond encrusted.

had the perks of a ridiculously wealthy father - her favorite popstar performed at her sweet sixteen, she had the nicest clothes, and the best vacations. she got into any event, party and club she wanted to.

but it wasn't all louboutins and good vibes. image was always very, very important to her father and he had no issue telling her exactly what she should be doing and made sure she did it.

she liked lacrosse growing up, but he wanted her to play tennis - she could do that at the country club and impress his friends. she preferred theater, he had her join the choir and take voice lessons. god forbid his daughter couldn't hold a note.

growing up, she never really felt like her own person, more just an extension of her father.

the first time she really felt like an individual was when it was time for college. she didn't just choose the school - columbia - but also her major - communications. standard for most, but a big deal for her.

it probably helped, though, that she knew what she wanted to do at that point. actual fame held little appeal to her, but she was fascinated by the business side. she'd see starlets - either friends she made or those contracted to sony - commit some debaucherous act right in front of her eyes. the next day, it'd be covered up entirely, twisted in the press or distracted from by some careful planned pap shots or a puff piece. she thought that was genius and wanted to be a publicist from then on out.

she was always a little sneaky and a step ahead of others, might as well make a career out of it.

freshly graduated, her dad pulled some strings to get her a job at a prestigious pr firm, giving her access to clients at a level most new hires never get the chance to represent.

so, yeah, nepotism got her in the door but she is really fucking good at her job. she's not afraid to play dirty (in fact, she thinks that's kinda fun), she has sources with people and tmz for all your puff piece needs, and has a knack for always knowing when a pap walk or publicity stunt is needed.

she's really managed to build a reputation of her own and her career is a great source of joy for her.

tbh, it's amazing to see someone so professionally successful and seemingly put together have such a messy personal life.

it's been one heartbreak after another for zey and she'd be hard-pressed to tell you exactly why. okay, sure, some of them were doomed from the start, obviously poorly matched paramours zeynep pursued in a kinda (totally) childish urge to rebel after her overbearing father criticized them.

but the rest? beats zey. she'd say she just has a broken picker, an issue no fault of her own and one that just can't be fixed. her friends would probably tell you that she's too impulsive when it comes to relationships, she feels that spark and is just ready to jump right in.

whatever the reason, no matter how meant to be she thinks they are, whether it's in two months or two years - it ends. and that's exactly why she wants to protect this new relationship she's in.

things feel good, really, really good and she's determined to shield this love from her less-than-charming family (especially the father who never approves of her partners), well-meaning but judgey friends, the stresses of the job and just the rest of the world. she doesn't want anything to taint it.

deep down, way down, zeynep realizes that's not exactly logical or realistic. they're gonna have to face the real world eventually. but she's also cool with just staying in that honeymoon phase for as long as they can and, honestly, doesn't have much of an idea or plan for how things will work once that ends.

wanted connections

romance is not dead if you keep it just yours aka muse b in lavender haze. the new love zey is so desperate to protect, she's all in on this.

it's nice to have a friend aka the besties. give me the fun, wild friends she can have a night out with but also the protective, logical ones who roll their eyes whenever she says 'it's different this time'.

i know i make the same mistakes every time aka the exes. zeynep has a history of failed relationships so a few of these would make sense.

clients. whether a public figure or a corporation, zey would be a great asset to have on the team.

anything and everything. she's a lifelong new yorker so there's plenty of time for run-ins, neighbors, former classmates, whatever.

*･｡ﾟ ━ ( aisha dee / cis woman / she/her/hers ) i think i just saw DIANE CLEESE on the subway. the THIRTY-ONE-year-old CEO has been living on cornelia street for FIVE YEARS. diane’s friends know her to be bold, outspoken, and creative, but she has a reputation on cornelia street for being secretive, guarded, and hot-tempered. when i see diane, i can’t help but think of the sound of tapping on a smartphone screen, a walk-in closet, and three naked bodies wrapped in a bed sheet ! in fact, i sometimes i think i hear THE MAN when i see her walk by - ( s / 25 / they/them / gmt +1 )

find stats, some more information, and connection ideas under the cut! like this if you want to plot with diane!

statistics

diane lou cleese. thirty-one. scorpio. ceo of new romantics & co. cis woman. romantically and physically attracted to feminine presenting people of all genders. polyamorous. in a relationship with two partners (secret). african-american and caucasian descent. agnostic, raised evangelical.

what everyone knows about her

diane is known for being one of the founding members of the thread. she is known for being a very outspoken feminist and also for being fabulously well-dressed most times. she gets up at four am to look this good and she wouldn't change it. she lives with two roommates and seems to only be focused on making it big in tech, to making a difference in the landscape of social media, and appears to always be confident, bold, and completely sure of every decision she makes.

what friends know about her

diane's upbringing was complicated. she was raised by a white father and a black mother in a very conservative part of mississippi. her father was the head of his own evangelical church and diane's upbringing was very clear on what was expected of her. she had to be a good christian girl and serve her husband. it really shouldn't have been a surprise that she didn't return home after getting her master's in new york city. would would ever want to go back to that small minded place she was from? she had to suffer a lot of alienation because she was biracial, she had to live such a suppressed like that she now feels like she can breathe, be herself and amplify voices of women who are who she could have been, had she gone back to mississippi.

what no one knows about her

her two roommates are in fact her partners (wanted connections will be sent to the main soon). she isn't out as queer, mostly because she already has to take quite a lot of flack for just being a woman of color but being openly polyamorous is just a step she cannot see herself taking. it goes against all she was raised to be and honestly, she knows no one like them - no one who is also living with multiple partners and she really couldn't stand to feel like an outcast again, in her personal life.

connections

two polyamorous partners - they've been together for at least six months and live together. they're all in a relationship with each other and are not out as polyamorous.

best friend

neighbors

fashion rival and/or bestie

former one-night stand

accidental tinder match

fellow southerner

someone who dislikes the social media site she's starting up

❛ 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒, 𝐈 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐓 / 𝐈 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐀 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃-𝐒𝐎𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐆𝐎𝐖𝐍 — STARRING DAISY DE LEÓN.

FULL NAME: daisy ines de león

AGE + BIRTHDAY: twenty - nine, april 9, 1994

GENDER + PRONOUNS: cis woman, she/her

PLACE OF BIRTH: miami, florida

ZODIAC: aries sun, pisces moon, sagittarius rising

SEXUAL & ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: bisexual demiromantic

TIME ON CORNELIA STREET: three months

OCCUPATION: assistant director

AESTHETIC: dancing in your socks with a glass of wine in hand, standing on the balcony as the wind ruffles your hair and the embers on the end of your cigarette die, the comfort weight of your laptop in your bag, the scent of a cappuccino, freesia, and vanilla entering the room

SONG INSPIRATION: champagne problems and you're on your own, kid

EXCERPT FROM THE MASTERMIND: daisy's born in miami to a mother who would do anything for her and a father who doesn't quite know how to stay. she's always telling stories, typing them late at night on the laptop her mother surprises her with for her quinceanera, and lives a little too far in her head sometimes. life dips into a dark place for awhile, and her ticket out is the promise of moving to los angeles with her best friend, where they're going to be stars. it's what they always dreamed of, after all, what kept them sane in the years of high school where nothing ever fucking made sense. besides, daisy's supposed to write a film for logan to star in. they make it out to california and daisy becomes alive as she grinds away, starting as an assistant pa and slowly climbing the ladder — logan, on the other hand, falls into the clutches of opiate abuse, and their death shakes daisy to her core. it's why her dream matters so much, after all. daisy continues climbing, determined to win her seat in the room and her oscar someday. she then meets muse a and they start a relationship. fiery and passionate and... comfortable. the routine, the expected, it's all very nice and well for daisy, but she is more selfish than both of them realize. she'd never ask anyone to compromise for her, and it doesn't occur to her that they don't realize she wouldn't do the same until they propose and she says no. already at an assistant director phase for several television shows and working on producing indie films with her contacts, daisy makes the decision to flee to new york for something different, where ghosts don't tail her and she's not forced to feel even more shitty for what she's done. she answers a wanted ad and moves onto cornelia street with maggie molina, and it may very well be the best thing she's ever done. she's on her own and it has never been more liberating. / READ MORE ABOUT DAISY HERE.

FULL NAME: marin isabelle sawyer

AGE + BIRTHDAY: twenty - five, august 28, 1997

GENDER + PRONOUNS: cis woman, she/her

PLACE OF BIRTH: tbd

ZODIAC: virgo sun, cancer moon, sagittarius rising

SEXUAL & ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: homosexual homoromantic

TIME ON CORNELIA STREET: one year

OCCUPATION: emt slash freelance photographer (side hustle ftw)

AESTHETIC: holding hands with someone to reassure them or let them know you're there, peppermint hot chocolate with whipped cream, touching up the edges of your chipped nail polish

SONG INSPIRATION: evermore

EXCERPT FROM THE MASTERMIND: the youngest of four with a wild heart and not many idle thoughts, marin longs to taste a world that hadn't yet swallowed down her siblings and left traces of them behind. she loves her siblings dearly, family oriented occasionally to a fault, but her dreams of escaping her hometown litter the pages of her journal and the online archives she pressed her footprint into. she's always along for the ride, never the driver. nothing ever belongs to her because it seemingly belonged to one of the other sawyer kids first. it makes the high school years hard for marin, who is just trying to find an identity beyond her loud and brash colors she wears to stand out. her mother's death shortly after her high school graduation and lost semi-adult who can't college to save their life venture is crippling — effervescence fizzles, color fades, and the once exuberant force takes a few steps back inside herself. it's the lifelong dream of moving to new york that strikes a spark back in her eyes and the breath returns to her lungs. it's a new city, a new playground to call her own, and best of all: the novelty of getting to find herself outside of her siblings' silhouettes. marin does freelance photography mostly as a hobby, and works as an emt ( the savior complex is a lil strong with this one, i'm afraid ) but, most importantly, she's the one who keeps holiday house bustling with people. holiday house is the dream of holidays accumulated after all, where they'd wish out loud to spend their holidays in new york where the snow's plentiful and lights make everything glow, and it's the place where she belongs and her siblings belong and the space is vast enough for everyone she brings through the doors to belong, too. she is carving out a space for the people she loves, perhaps what she was meant for. while she often gives too much of herself that she hardly remembers to take care of her own grief and complications, marin always has her hand out ready to take someone in. she lives hard, loves fierce, and runs wild — and yet, she'll always come home in the end. / READ MORE ABOUT MARIN HERE.

.*･｡ﾟ ━ ( natalia dyer / cis female / she/her ) i think i just saw AURORA ‘RORY’ THORNE on the subway. the 27 year old FORMER ACTRESS has been living on cornelia street for SIX MONTHS. aurora’s friends know her to be charismatic, spontaneous, and ambitious, but she has a reputation on cornelia street for being self-indulgent, superficial, and impulsive. when i see aurora , i can’t help but think of a sun-kissed body laid atop a bed of silk, perfectly manicured french nails, the lingering smell of cigarettes, half-empty bottles of wine, and missing for something no longer there ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear ANTI-HERO when i see her walk by.

THE BASICS

Full name: Aurora 'Rory' Celeste Thorne

DOB: May 27th (i am deciding she is just now going to be turning 27 bc I picked this bday after applying)

Zodiac: Gemini Sun, Libra Moon, Libra Rising

From New York City, NY.

Daughter to the Anastasia Thorne.

Rory is the middle child.

YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF AURORA THORNE?

Born and raised in New York, NY among the elite, Aurora has always appreciated the finer things in life — regardless of price. That's not to say she was a toddler in Balenciaga or anything, but she was most certainly spoiled.

Her career started when she was just a toddler, modeling for diaper companies and various children's clothing lines.

Being the middle child, she often felt like she was vying for her mother's attention and she'd do anything to keep it, even if that meant acting out. Unfortunately, maintaining her mother's attention wasn't particularly easy, and just trying to was beginning to become tiring.

Rory often jumped from hobby to hobby, having a tendency to give up when she grew bored or things just seemed too hard. Over the years, she tried gymnastics, pottery, knitting, sewing, archery, and piano, the last being her longest-held hobby. She performed in recitals, her mother bought a piano for the house, and soon she started voice lessons to be able to accompany herself.

She was encouraged to pursue a music career, and she did end up releasing an EP, but her passion faded and she broke her contract without a care for the financial consequences.

Acting, on the other hand, was where she felt herself thrive. Some think it's her form of escapism, but she refuses to acknowledge such claims.

At age 23, she moved out to Los Angeles. Her mother's name was more than enough to get her into auditions, and her appearance sealed the deal. However, after her first four films, she gained a reputation for her pickiness with her work, often dropping scripts just weeks after casting or partway through filming for unexplained reasons.

After a heated phone call with her mother and manager, she got her act together enough to land and maintain her role in her most recent film, but she had no idea as filming wrapped that it might be her last.

“SHE'S LAUGHING UP AT US FROM HELL!”

Rory would never pin all the blame on MUSE B, buuuuuut it was their choice that seemed to be the final straw for their mother.

Money management, who's she? Up until now, she'd had what seemed like an endless supply of money, never blinking an eye at price tags for the things she wanted.

Being cut off felt like a slap to the face, and forced Rory to address the harsh realities that she doesn't know who she is without money and her mother's name. She doesn't know how to survive the way the rest of the world does, still spending beyond her means and waiting for it to bite her in the ass.

The news of her -ahem- financial independence is a touchy subject, so those who address her by her full name or even begin to mention her situation are met with a glare and a bitchy tone, which certainly isn't helping her build a positive reputation on Cornelia Street.

MISC. / OTHER

Find Aurora’s stats page here.

She is a cat mom to a beautiful little brown tabby, who she spoils rotten the same way she was spoiled for the majority of her life.

Her favorite colors are pink and seafoam green.

She is a social drinker!

She picked up smoking cigarettes on the set of her first film and has tried (and failed) to stop smoking a handful of times in the years since, but her recent stress has re-sparked the habit.

Her best friend in L.A. was supposed to be her impulse control, but was more of an enabler. Said friend dropped her as soon as her mother did, making it clear to Rory that they were only friends because of her name. As a result, this bitch does not know how to trust people.

.*･｡ﾟ ━ ( daisy ridley / cis female / she/her ) i think i just saw ASTRID BECKETT on the subway. the 29 year old EVENT PLANNER has been living on cornelia street for THREE YEARS. astrid’s friends know her to be determined, compassionate, and imaginative, but she has a reputation on cornelia street for being obsessive, stubborn, and a perfectionist. when i see astrid, i can’t help but think of strings of fairy lights, sticky notes everywhere, never a stray strand of hair out of place, faint laughter lines adorning tired eyes, and the clinking of champagne flutes ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear NEW YEAR’S DAY when i see her walk by.

THE BASICS

Full name: Astrid Fey Beckett

DOB: October 26

Zodiac: Scorpio Sun, Cancer Moon, Aquarius Rising

From Burlington, VT

SO, YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW ASTRID...

Astrid was an only child for the first 3 years of her life. Then, along came Iris. She'll be the first to admit she wasn't thrilled about having a baby sister, but once Iris was actually around, Astrid loved her. It was like having a Baby Alive doll but even better!

The girls got closer as they grew older, Astrid preparing Iris for milestone moments in advance so they wouldn't be scary. Astrid leaving Vermont to attend college in New York was the first time in a long time that she'd ever been apart from her sister for an extended period, so she made an effort to call weekly and text constantly.

While in college, Astrid picked up a job at the campus library, mostly assisting with check-outs, booking study rooms, preparing meeting rooms, and re-shelving books.

After graduation, she transferred to an assistan librarian job with the public library system, thanks to a letter of recommendation from her former supervisor.

This bitch loves organization and solid schedules. She may need sticky note and/or phone reminders sometimes, but overall, she has her shit together.

I'LL BE CLEANIN UP BOTTLES WITH YOU ON NEW YEAR'S DAY

Welcome to Astrid's life on Cornelia Street.

After tiring of her normal routine, she transferred yet again to a new library branch, this time in Greenwich Village. Most of her friends at the time were either library patrons, former co-workers, or college friends who moved miles away.

New towns are an opportunity for new friends, right? Astrid had always been somewhat of a social butterfly, but her schedule didn't allow for much socialization outside of after-work drinks and weekend get-togethers.

Who would have guessed a New Years party would change Astrid's life? Read all about it here. New best friend and platonic soulmate, new living situation (hello, roommate!), an entire career change, etc — all because she cleaned up the remnants of the party with a stranger the morning after. Honestly, though, she couldn't be happier.

Since quitting her 9-5 and starting her new job as an event planner with [MUSE B], they've coordinated quite a few beautiful weddings. Is it a little obsessive to start planning the New Year's parties in October? Maybe, but it's one of her favorite ways to spend her birthday and it ensures her clients the best experience possible.

Biography: tw drug use, overdose

Tilly was born and raised in Reno, NV. With her mother as a principal and her father Chief of police, one can only picture just how bad the hovering was over the brunette. Though she was a little angel when she was younger, she slowly became rebellious as she grew older. As opposed to taking a step back and allowing her parents to do everything for her, she forcefully took the initiative on her work and projects.

There was always too much glitter, not enough substance. Instead of finding support through doing things herself, her teachers often told her that maybe she would’ve been better off asking for help. This cut the young girl deep, and she found that the rest of her time in Reno was people telling her she was too much of one thing, and never enough of anything else.

The brunette started acting out in class, but it never went anywhere due to who her parents were. This only frustrated her further. Her grades never truly slipped because the girl would be so bored that she would breeze through it all before ditching for the rest of the period. Sometimes she just wouldn’t show up for class at all, but she maintained an above 100% average. To this day, she isn’t sure if it was genuinely due to the work she put in or if her mother had anything to do with it.

Tilly never fit in, due to the fact that she purposely going against the social norms of the area. This left her at a limbo, though she attracted all types of people to her because of this quality. She often found herself mingling with all the cliques, but never truly belonging to one of her own. The brunette’s anxiety only became full-fledged during her high school years, which turned her onto the party scene in order to obtain her good pal, mary jane.

The young woman met a girl at one of these house parties and wound up running away to Vegas with her for a weekend after a couple months of them fooling around. The only way her parents found out was due to Tilly overdosing, and thus they finally realized all these expectations were weighing down on her. Though, they still never took full responsibility for the toll on their daughter. Tilly was able to get clean and stay clean, but her relationship with her parents was still strained.

It was expected of her to go to a university and either wind up in the criminal justice realm, or the education path. It was the final straw for her parents when Tilly dropped out of university within the first semester. In truth, her heart just wasn’t in it - so what was the point? Was she really meant to go through life with her future already mapped-out? She wouldn’t allow that to happen, and so she took it upon herself to not return home.

Instead, Tilly traveled via couch-surfing with strangers she met along her journey. She was searching for an answer that never came, but through all her experiences she came across varying skills and learning opportunities. The brunette liked the constant change and not knowing what the next day brought.

Now residing in NY, Tilly is always doing something new. From an assistant to a star, to a dog walker - the young woman has lived a million lives ever since she fled from the nest. So she continues to take up odd jobs and grow with each new experience though this road to discovery.

Extra-Extra, Read All About Her!

One would find Tilly in the party scene of NY. A natural networker, the brunette can’t help but make connections where ever she goes. Though this may be the case, she finds it easy to cut ties and move on. Due to her history, Tilly has a soft spot for those who are also trying to figure themselves out. She also is a safe space, and makes it her job to be open-minded and nonjudgmental to others. A natural thrill-seeker, Tilly is always the first one to suggest some off-the-wall activity or adventure. Hot-headed, the young woman is prone to going from overly sweet to giving someone the cold shoulder in a matter of seconds. Tilly is always down for physical connections, but will also throw someone’s phone number out if they don’t capture her full attention. Easily bored, the woman is always on the go and is prone to disappearing and reappearing for months at a time. Tilly can come across as sarcastic if her mood isn’t in a good place, but she can be a great person to have a deep conversation with or even if you need to go out and have some fun. Also, a notable comic relief character.

Personality:

+ Independent, Spontaneous, and Enthralling

- Sarcastic, Detached, and Reckless

INTRODUCING.

.*･｡ﾟ ━ ( michael b. jordan / cis man / he/him ) i think i just saw BASTIAN 'BAS' SALTERS on the subway. the 37 year old PART TIME MSG ANALYST & HOBBYIST has been living on cornelia street for THREE YEARS. bas' friends know him to be steadfast, driven, & focused , but he has a reputation on cornelia street for being reticent, soft-spoken, & obsessive . when i see bas , i can’t help but think of notebooks filled with neat slanted writing, slowly sipping an espresso in the sunlight, and soft piano in the early morning hours ! in fact , i sometimes i think i hear 'TIS THE DAMN SEASON (muse b) when he walks by !

MUSE B in 'TIS THE DAMN SEASON.

they were the quintessential ‘ will they, won’t they? ’ pair that everyone always knew were going to work out. plans of forever and hushed ‘ i love yous ’ rested on the tips of their tongue, but dreams get bigger and town gets smaller, and time does what time always does. they built big lives apart. JULIAN ( @julicn ) hit the west coast while BAS found a life in new york city , now , life has brought them to the same city, on the same street, and the road not taken looks real good right now.

HIGHLIGHTS.

now-retired nhler ( lifer-rangers defenseman ), now residing on cornelia street and figuring out the next chapter of his life ; currently a part-time analyst with msg networks, reporting on rangers games ; works with youth hockey programs regularly ; otherwise dabbles in a variety of hobbies ( writing, piano, baking ) as well as occasionally taking on unpaid handyman type tasks ; characterized first and foremost by the intensity he approached any task or thing he loves ; all or nothing ; a reassuring presence, when he speaks it's often thoughtful and eloquent.

ABOUT.

— TARRYTOWN, NEW YORK : 25 miles north of new york city, a major stop on the hudson commuter line into the city, one city on the ends of the tappen zee bridge, population just shy of twelve thousand, home to the new york rangers' practice facility . . . and home to bastian james salters. bas was born in michigan though he did not stay there long, barely remembering his first grade days interrupted by a move east, spurred on by a promotion for his mother in her architecture firm. the city had proven too expensive, and the allure of a big backyard had been enough for them to choose the little suburb instead.

— maybe bas still would have grown his love for hockey in snowy michigan too, but it was the move that had his parents signing him up for various youth sports in an attempt to both feed his need for constant movement and to help him make friends. even at seven, bas took it all in stride : football, baseball, soccer, basketball, and hockey — and it was hockey that would eventually come to dictate his life.

— even as a child bas had an unchildlike obsession with everything he did. he fell in love with hockey : the ice, the speed, the feeling when you're skating. even if hockey did not always love him back. it was an expensive sport, and though the salters saved money by not living in the city, they still struggled at times to make ends meet. not as much as most, but bas learned early on that he was going to have to provide his own financial support for his dreams — his parents were supportive, even if they had tried to gently persuade him toward a more certain career path than nhler.

— a big moment for him was being recruited to play college D1 hockey at boston university. maybe he wasn't getting the full ride some of his teammates were, but bas was still proud of the step that it meant. he supplemented the balance of his tuition with additional scholarships and a few loans, never one to back down from anything. that following summer he received another surprise : getting drafted to the rangers, the hometown team ( in the third round, but still significant ).

— bas played out his four full years at BU, earning his degree in communications at the same time. leading up to graduation ( class of 2008 ), in fact plaguing much of his senior year, was a looming crossroads choice : sign with the rangers to follow a ( still significant long shot ) dream of a lifetime, or to hang up his skates against professional hockey to follow his second love and pursue building a different career. he chose hockey.

— he spend two and a half years playing for the rangers' ahl affiliate, the hartford wolfpack, before finally getting his nhl debut at age 24. that marked what would becoming his career-long time with the blueshirts, 11 full seasons in all, finally coming to an end with the 2021-22 season.

— it was a tough choice to end his professional career, but listening to his body, a serious of head injuries, and a few other factors lead him to hang up the skates. this last 1+ year has been his first year without the schedule and rhythm of the nhl in quite some time and in some ways, he feels like he's trying to find his way again.

PRESENT DAY.

— bas has lived in a townhouse on cornelia street for about three years, though he's lived in the city since 2010. the move to cornelia street was mostly motivated after there was a fire in the store he lived over, leading to a significant amount of smoke damage. it just seemed easier to move and he wasn't terribly attached to the place anywhere. for this first year of residence, he was gone for long stretches during the season given the needs of said season, but he's developed stronger relationships with those on the street in the past year or so !!

— he's not one to really flaunt the small degree of fame he might be entitled to. he's had to work hard for every inch he gained and the process has kept him exceedingly humble. to many, he's just a neighbor, unless any of them happen to recognize him from his hockey endeavors.

— since his retirement a year and a half ago, bas has bounced between a large number of things to fill his time, unsure of where his post-retirement will take him. a love of hockey still permeates his entire being; however, and so when msg networks came calling, offering him a part-time analyst position, bas jumped at the opportunity to stay engaged and close to the team. now, you can see him every few rangers msg broadcasts in the pre, post, and intermission shows. he is also very engaged with various youth hockey organizations in the city ( relationships built during his active career, and now able to dedicate even more time to them ), especially those that work with black, lgbtq+, and other under-served/marginalized communities.

— he's also been picking up various hobbies as they interest him that he didn't necessarily have time to pursue : writing, reading, piano, baking, and a great love for coffee ( well, that last one he was able to maintain during his professional career ). and well... anything that catches his eye that seems interesting.

— while he hardly... advertises his handyman services, bas does have a very good ability for handyman type jobs, and he's quick to offer to help. and just as quick to turn down any compensation for said work. a dripping faucet ?? drafty window ?? especially in those months when labor might be weeks off, he's more than happy to help !!

— his townhouse is a bit of a mishmash of furniture, no particular style except for cozy. lots of warm tones. he does keep it well maintained and neat; however, as he cannot function in messy spaces.

— he has his own little gym in his townhouse where he can work out in peace, and while he doesn't maintain quite the same physique he did while he played, he's certainly in very good shape still. in fair weather months, you can often see him going for runs in central park ( and then promptly buying a smoothie when he's finished ).

— bas tries to keep a good schedule of his days, though his commitments are varying ( though that is not so different from his life as a player either and in a way was a little comforting ). he's had little trouble filling his days, though routine remains a bit elusive as does his long term plan. but that's okay.

— frequents cafes, animal shelters, various rinks, central park, walks in the city, trying out new foods but also loves a nearby dumpling place like no tomorrow.

PERSONALITY.

+ steadfast, driven, & focused - reticent, soft-spoken, & obsessive

— bas has always been characterized first and foremost by the intensity he approached any task or thing he loved with. always all or nothing. it is a trait to endears some and intimidates others. with time and age, bas' approachability has improved drastically.

— his voice is always softer than people expect, though he speaks with an honest, eloquent tone ; thoughtful in what he says, in a way that when he played, made people listen when he spoke because he wasted so few words.

— a bit of a reassuring presence : strong without needed to really flaunt it. reliable in tough situations and rarely one to lose his temper. has a tendency to approach any situation head-on, often skipping right to the problem solving stage rather than any of the emotional onsets that should've come first.

— deeply observant and able to connect dots easily : another thing that has come in handy with his part time msg analyst position, and one that has prompted some to question if he's ever thought of going into coaching in his post-career.

— passionate about his stances when he does have them. they are often well-argued, heavily supported, and hard to refute. he attacks arguments with logic and in general, does not really busy himself with emotional outbursts.

— despite this, does think he is very in tune with his emotions. his logical and head-on approaches have little to do with tamping down his feelings, but an ability to recognize them and deal with them quickly. he's getting far too old to deal with roundabout nature of things.

MISC.

— played defense : a very physical and classic ' stay at home ' style. reliable, integral to the powerplay, hard to get past, delivered heavy and solid hits, a good passer to initiate break outs.

— bas worked odd jobs and ends as soon as he was able to secure them, every penny going toward new hockey gear. he picked up a rather large variety of skills in those days, something that would come in clutch later — meaning he rarely ever calls a handyman.

— has a very expensive espresso machine.

— lactose intolerant

— bas' kitchen skills are a little less well-oiled than his coffee making skills, but he's more than adequate at it. he enjoys cooking, especially when someone is in the kitchen to keep him company and with the time he seemingly has on his hands now, branching out into more complicated recipes seems like a good idea.

— baking is also something he's been pursuing a bit more furiously. interested in making delicious dairy-free and vegan recipes ( not vegan himself, but knows those allergic to eggs ).

— does not currently have a dog, but will probably get around to adopting one soon. definitely frequents and volunteers at nearby animal shelters.

— never won the cup. closest he came was 2014 cup finals against the kings. he attended julian's cup party that summer though.

APPEARANCE.

— 6'1", 213 lbs — often sporting stubble, hair seesaws between a buzz cut and then being grown out and braided. it really depends on his mood. currently, a buzz cut. — wardrobe : casual but well-fitting and simple, elegant clothing. a lot of muted and dark colors. always well put-together street style. — far too many scars to explain — modifications : piercings in both ears, no tattoos — demeanor : often comes across serious and thoughtful, very still in his poise but still comes across prepared for movement than truly relaxed, not precious with his smiles, a comfortable presence — quirks : furrowing his brow, licking his lips, tapping his foot to the beat of music

OOC.

hi everyone !! i'm ollie ( 24, est, they/them ). i'm super excited to write with you all 💕
