Adrenaline Junkie

Then he sat back in the sand, looking out over the ocean, and took a can from his six-pack. “What a beautiful night.”

Jay Mahone | 23 | Student of Media and Film Studies 

Coming from a rich American family in California, Jay went to a private school until he was 14, when he kicked up a fuss about wanting to experience ‘real life’. Being the only child, they gave in and Jay moved to a public school where he excelled in everything psychical, but wasn’t all that competent when it came to maths or science. 

Jay has always been more about the experience of schooling than the learning. Much t the disappointment of his family. A typical jock in many respects. He was always one for the ladies, and had his toes dipped in a few different sports, lacrosse, football and soccer. He just missed out on a scholarship to some asshole nerd that always got the grades but couldn’t afford the fees. 

A. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT OR NOT, FOR YOUR CHARACTER TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH CLOTHES, AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THEIR PERCEPTION OF OTHERS? For Jay, it’s not really about the clothes, sure he likes to have a bit of flare, but it’s about being comfortable, especially as he likes to be physical. He never really judges anyone by what they wear, and just presumes they wont either.

B. DESCRIBE THE OUTFIT. Style isn’t really what he goes for. He’ll pick expensive brands because he can, but he goes for what he thinks is cool. Jeans with turn ups on the bottom, trainers or sneakers, a posh watch, but mostly just hoodies and plain t-shirts.

Grace dusted off little bits of concrete and dust from his shirt and hair, giving him a slight shrug, “I’m not sure.. honestly.” It had to have been, right? The streets hadn’t been this quiet in days. “I think so. I’m alright.. yeah. Are you bleeding anywhere? Do you need some water?” 

“I think I’ll see if my apartment is still standing.” If it wasn’t, she’d likely have to see what it would take to get into Le Bordel – there was no way she could afford to keep paying rent and fix a destroyed apartment, though she was certain a case could be made for the city to fix it for her. It’s not like she raised an army of demons. “You really think many people are gonna be working out right now?”

“And if not? Le Bordel till it’s rebuilt?” he asked and shrugged “I bet they won’t give you a discount if it does come to that.” Jay knew that Le Bordel was more expensive than some apartments, but they offered safety and security in exchange, but it wasn’t a home.

“You’d be surprised, we were turning people away this morning.” he said and smiled “But no, I meant it needs a few repairs.” he shrugged.

She walked with him with no complaint. It actually feels nice and exciting to deviate from the monotonous routine of going to work then going back to prison day in and day out. She hasn’t seen much of Covaire so any new location gives her a bit of thrill, even if she was being technically rented out.

“You don’t look that young, babe. I’ve just met some people that have their house as dry as the prohibition.” She shrugs but brightens up a bit at how he was basically giving her free reign of not only alcohol, but also sweets. “We don’t get much of any indulgences unless we are favored by the guards in some degree.” She says her eyes flicker back to her guard. How many times had she been on her knees or back for him to get something out of it, she had no idea.

She briefly waves at the guard in passing as Jay lets her into his place. She looks around and the place looked comfortable enough but she can’t help but to frown for a brief moment before it disappears. She wishes she had her own place with her own food and own freedom. She didn’t think today would be the day she would envy her possibly one time lover. She sheds off her robe and drops it to the floor before sitting on the couch with her feet propped up, giving Jay a salacious look. “What first? I’m all yours. For the time being, at least.”

Jay couldn’t imagine a house without alcohol. Even if you didn’t drink, it seemed polite to have some on the shelves to offer others. Thank God he wasn’t one of those weird people though, and it seemed she was glad of it too as he seemed to smile at his offer of indulgence. He could only imagine what life was like in the Chateau, but he had his cupboards full and he didn’t mind if she decided to raid them and leave them bare, he’d just have to stock up again. “Then you should hide some at Naughty Covaire.” he said and smirked to the guard, giving him a shrug “Just one or two.” 

He didn’t mind letting her have free reign of the house, he wasn’t just going to get down to business, though he was letting his eyes rake over her body and imagining all sorts of things. Those thoughts only increased when she slipped off her robe and perched herself on his couch in a rather suggestive pose. He clears his throat as she speaks “Well I was going to offer food first, but with you looking like that... How about I pour us a drink and we take it to bed?”

“Well, managers could still be bad.. or good. I don’t think the requirement is to train clients but to manage the place, no?” She laughed, “It’s just a bonus that you’re a qualified trainer.” DJ was teasing, never thinking that the man lacked in the department. “As you said, first lesson’s free so I have nothing to lose. When are you free?” She asked because she didn’t want to be rude and assume that he had nothing else to do. 

Not to mention, she wasn’t exactly dressed to be working out at a gym either. While she had decided to keep her attire casual with a tshirt and sneakers, jeans couldn’t possibly be acceptable. “I have to go invest in some gym shorts or something if this is actually happening.”

“I’m not a stand at the back and let others work kind of guy.” he said and he smiled at her “It is, but I like to be hands on.” e said and smiled as she said his qualifications were a bonus. Jay grinned when she asked when he was free and shrugged “You know what, I think I’m free tonight if you want to jump straight in.”

“Does your facility have that first free trial run?” She joked - maybe. “Perhaps if my first session goes well, I might just sign up to continue.” A smirk tugged her lips, “Are you a good trainer though? I can’t have my time wasted if you aren’t.” She doubt that he was a terrible trainer but DJ couldn’t help but tease the young man. 

“Well in that case, how can I refuse. Try before you buy sounds like a plan. First lesson’s free.” He smiled, knowing Dexter, the Gym’s owner, would do the same thing. It was built to help people, back when the city had slaves, it was to try and give them a more equal footing for the arena’s that the Alpha’s held. 

“Thank you for your kindness, but I’m okay.” She offered what she hoped was a reassuring smile before using the tree as leverage to push herself up and off the ground. “I know how to survive in this city, but I prefer the fly under the radar method.”

Víbora grabbed a rather thin and short silk robe and pulled it on to cover up her 'outfit’ of just lingerie and walked out to follow him. Even when dancing half naked in a window for her livelihood, she still has some decency while walking the streets. She didn’t even pay much attention to her guard following silently as she stepped out of the shop.

“You wouldn’t happen to have some alcohol at your place, would you? I don’t have to be drunk or anything, I just miss the taste.” If there was anything she hated most about being a prisoner, it’s the lack of a Happy Hour.

She looked good, Jay couldn’t deny it, couldn’t help is eyes sneaking glances as they walked either. He didn’t live for, not far from the gym he managed. He liked to be close by in case of emergencies. It would only take a few minutes, so her guard wouldn’t get frustrated having to walk her through town.

When she asked about alcohol he laughed “How long do I actually look?” he asked, looking to her with a smile “Pick your poison, I have a selection, though I’m more of a beer man myself.” he smiled and snorted “I bet you don’t get much indulgence in the Chateau at all huh?” Jay shrugged “Chocolate and strawberries in the fridge too if you fancy a treat.” Mostly because he had a sweet tooth, and because he liked to be prepared for when company came around.
