BIOGRAPHY !
Laurel Grey never expected to get pregnant after a one night stand, but that was her fate. Living from couch to couch in LA, she never got her acting career stable enough for it to be a career so when her friend got her a job at the front desk in an accounting firm, Laurel moved from sunny California to Maryland. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who she named Usaki to honor her own Japanese roots. Laurel did her best to raise her daughter, but from years of being on the party scene and struggling with addiction, she passed away at the age of thirty two from alcohol poisoning. With no remaining family and her mother having no will, Usaki moved in with her mother’s friend Maura Linderman who fostered her from the age of five until she left home at eighteen after a fight.
Usaki’s childhood was rough with not really knowing her mother or father and being raised by Maura. Sure Maura did her best to support Usaki, but the girl was headstrong. Maura didn’t want to erase Usaki’s mother, but at the same time she didn’t want the young woman to fall into the same patterns. She was nothing if not tough and overprotective. Saki grew up with a strict curfew, she was required to go to church with Maura, she wasn’t allowed to date, and she got grounded if her grades dropped below a B. For the most part Saki didn’t really have too many friends. She stuck to herself, having a couple of friends here and there that usually dropped her when she wasn’t allowed to come over for a sleepover. Saki grew up feeling like an outcast, looking at photos of her mother who she knew so little about. So she made up stories about her mom, pretended what her life would be like with her there.
When she went to high school, she was only allowed one after school activity and when she told Maura she wanted to join the school play, Maura became outraged by the thought. She refused to let Saki try out for the school play. For three years, Saki joined other clubs, though nothing stuck and every year she looked at the play longingly. But senior year Saki found a way around that, she told Maura she wanted to join the mathletes and even convincingly lied enough that her foster mom let her. Yet, she never joined mathletes, instead she tried out for the play and got the lead role. Usaki felt incredibly excited. Suddenly she went from having no friends to suddenly being called over to sit with her cast mates at lunch. She patiently waited for Maura to go to bed so she could run lines and when it came time for the school play, she made sure her foster mother was busy with some church function that Saki so graciously suggested they have. Unfortunately, Maura did find out about the play and she was livid. She kicked Saki out of her house and Saki spent the rest of the school year couch jumping various friend’s houses.
Saki ran to LA the second she graduated after grabbing her mom’s belongings from Maura’s house and stealing the car that was rightfully hers. She landed in LA, a far too young, far too impressionable woman who was angry. She got a job as a cashier, found someone looking for a roommate, and started to try and make her name in the acting world. And she didn’t get very far. The first year she only got a singular callback and didn’t end up booking the role. But Saki was determined to make it. She knew she had talent, people just needed to see it. She went to audition after audition and had nothing to prove it. No one wanted to book her. But it was right when she was about to call Maura crying and crawling back to Maryland did she see an advertisement in a paper for an indie movie. The pay was atrocious but it was the passion project for a small group of friends who were more interested in making the movie than anything else. She walked into the audition and blew them away. Usaki was incredibly happy to book her first role and although the project ended up not making too much money, it got her contacts and people saw her talent.
At twenty four, Saki wanted to see if she had any family and try to see if she had half siblings or who her father was. She did an ancestry test to see the results and didn’t get anything interesting. But it left her with some sort of hope that one day she’d have a family to call her own. Saki forgot about the test and continued on with her life. Until a mysterious email made its way into her inbox. Saki read the email only to find out that her grandfather had also been an actor. He had a short romance with a woman for a summer which resulted in Laurel, but he never knew about her. Since Saki was the only living relative of his, found by the ancestry test, she inherited his entire fortune and mansion in Aurora Bay. The twenty four year old found herself in town, going through her grandfather’s things, finding out information about family she did have, even if they were gone. She read letters her grandfather sent her grandmother before her grandmother left. She watched her grandfather’s movies, now knowing where she got her talent and passion from. And yet, she’d made it all on her own. Gossip sites got hold of the information and Saki found herself blowing up overnight. Before she’d only done smaller indie movies and while she got some fans from it, suddenly they were interested in her story as Wyatt Walton’s granddaughter.
She got offered more roles and eventually got cast in as one of the leads in a show that she conveniently got them to shoot in Aurora Bay–so her commute wouldn’t have to be as far. Saki’s life in Aurora Bay is kind of lonely, not because she doesn’t have friends but because has an entire mansion all on her own and no one to share it with. Although navigating the dating scene is incredibly difficult as an actress with a famous grandfather. Still, she does her best to navigate the life of a young actress still trying to find herself in the world. Only recently did they come out as nonbinary, changing their pronouns online and making a bigger effort to spend time and donate money to Queer organizations. Saki also recently started a charity foundation for people with alcohol and substance abuse problems in order to help people struggling like their mother. Although Saki has not reached out to make any amends with Maura, sometimes they feel there’s too much bad blood between them for anything to ever feel straightened out.

"Do you wanna ride the ferris wheel with me?" Brooke said, as she turned and faced the woman behind, the comfort wasing over her that maybe she had also joined the queue alone. "I'd feel like such a loser riding by myself... at least I could pretend to everyone else I have a friend in this town."
"I'd love to," she beamed. Saki had been debating not riding the ferris wheel because she didn't want to go up on her own. However, she wanted to see the town from above and see all the places she loved to visit. Maybe they'd even see her home. "You're not a loser, I was about to ride it myself."
Closed starter: Shiloh & @sakigrey
Location: wherever their hearts desire
"I really hope this isn't AI generated," Shiloh says, pulling herself closer to Saki, "but this might be my favorite thing I've ever seen." She holds the phone between them so she can watch the video, again, while also showing Saki. "He's the star." It's been playing on a loop already, but she can't get enough of a random cat wandering around the stage during a performance. "Maybe he was William Shakespeare in a past life," she muses, though she's not sure she truly believes in reincarnation given her rather macabre line of work.
"I saw that video," they exclaimed, smiling at Shiloh as they showed the video. She hoped that it wasn't AI, but these days they were getting pretty good at making them look real. "Cats are always the biggest divas," they laughed. Of course he was going to be the star of the show. She did feel bad about the actors though because she wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face when a cat showed up. "I'd hope that Bill himself wouldn't show up in the middle of a performance like that. What does that say about his opinion on the show if he has to interrupt it?"
"Oh, honey, 'sucks' doesn't even begin to cover it when it comes to my mother."
Hell, if Scottie was better with words, she was sure she could probably write a pretty riveting book about what it was like to grow up under the "care" of Nina Nolan.
For now, she would live vicariously through the experiences of Jeanette McCurdy in I'm Glad My Mom Died.
Scottie tilts her head quizzically.
"If you're too famous to have a relationship, how is it any different if you go out of town for hookups? Wouldn't people just know who you are there, too?"
"I didn't really get to know my mom, but my foster mom was... a lot." She was still young when her mom passed away and Maura did her best, Saki knew that. But sometimes it still sucked having to grow up sheltered to the point where she felt like she had to hide parts of who she was.
"It's different when there's no feelings involved. For me at least." They didn't really have time for dating anyways. "It's... kind of difficult to... let someone in if I don't know them well first. Besides I don't think people are expecting to run into a small time actress like myself at Sea Foam on a random Thursday night."

"I would love to." It's said with a little too much speed, maybe. There's excitement in Rhiannon though. Not just at the notion of doing something like a date with Saki. More like she felt excited at being able to do something with a friend. It seemed like newcomers came to town often enough, but she was still struggling to get ahold of things here.
"Oh! You-You might have. Not going to lie, I'm a bit-bit distracted by you as well," She confessed with a small laugh and her own blush streaking across her features. "Just two femmes nervous on a-a date?" It's said with a sort of questioning note that she hoped where she wasn't overstepping. Said as she took the other's phone number and made sure hers was in Saki's as well.
Saki blushed. It wasn't often that she found herself talking to people that understood her life. Sure there were a lot of people in the spaces that they both navigated that would understand, but being queer added another layer onto it. Saki was one of those people who wanted to feel accepted in all spheres of their life. "Me too," she added, probably with a little more hesitancy than she intended, lost in her own mind for a second.
"We can't both be distracted by the other." But they probably would be. Going on a date didn't seem that difficult for some people, but Saki knew how they were. "Exactly. A date. Nervousness." Or like it didn't have to be if neither of them wanted that. At the end of the day, they'd be happy to remain friends too if that made the most sense. Yet that's not how she was feeling right this second. "It's so nerve-wracking talking to people sometimes."
"Fake" Mia repeated and hummed, the kind that left room for the other to continue. "Anyway" she tapped her fingers against her own thigh "I like people who focus on their work rather than losing their head to romance." There was a time for everything.
"Just, you know, rumors and stuff that the studio thinks is good for the production and marketing of the movie." Saki never liked it. But it made for a good story. Unknown grandchild of famous actor dating costar. "Me too, I'm still young enough that romance doesn't really matter to me. It'll happen in time. Or it won't. It doesn't define me."
"Do you think it's illegal to open the fan mail I get sent to my grandfather? He gets fan mail all the time I never knew him but I live in his house." Every couple of months she'd get a letter for him and Saki felt weird about reading them.
"I've learned that-that too." It wasn't exactly in LA, so of course the pool would be smaller to pull from. Her management thought that that meant nothing but positive results. She would be new blood in the same old heart of things and they'd get to know her quickly. Which did happen, to their credit. But it also made for quite the boring time. Especially with how frequently she was sent to these sorts of things.
Arm in arm, Rhia smiled to the other, "...I-I can do that." There's a hesitant smile, something bold warming its way into Rhiannon's chest. Well, something bold for her. "May I take your number now then? Before we go to dinner? Just to make sure."
"I'd be happy to make a trek up to LA sometime to attend something more interesting. If you wanna go with me, I mean." Maybe that could be a fun road trip sometime. It seemed like a good idea. She was up for it. Sometimes it was nice to do something outside routine. And LA was fine. Saki spent a lot of time there.
The blush on her face was very apparent when Rhia asked for her number. She was used to people flirting with her, but no one was ever interesting enough for her. Rarely did she think it would work out. "Here I thought I'd already given it to you." She handed her phone over. "Sorry, you make me nervous."
Mia hummed. "You sound the type that wishes their exes all the happiness in the world after sending them on their way." she said. She herself wasn't so magnanimous. Hailing someone a cab to get the hell out of her sight had been the kindest she could get. "But if it works for you, then..." || @sakigrey
They shrugged. "I haven't really dated all that many people. Just a lot of fake relationships and hookups. So maybe that's true, but I've also never been in a bad relationship before." Then again, that wasn't the worst thing in the world. "I'm more focused on my career."

"Oh gosh. It's so easy to make me blush. Any little compliment... I'm one of those people that tends to easily blush whenever someone say anything nice to me. Also if any pretty woman speaks to me, I can't help but blush. If I like someone, then basically anything they say will fluster me."
Rhia smiled bright before looping her arm through Saki's. There's a small bit of hesitation in that. Not because she was unsure, but more so of a switch between the excitement and Rhiannon's pension for overthinking. With that, she tried to focus on getting out of the awkward, networking air and more into the mode of just hanging out with a friend.
"You know, it's nice to-to meet someone here who experience the-the same sort of weird energy in those sort of-of places," Rhiannon commented as they walked away from the party and into a night filled with possibility. "Obviously they all do too. But it always f-feels like I'm gauging for someone who might agree."
When Saki realized that she wanted to be an actress, she'd wanted to tell Maura who hadn't been happy. She'd spent so long sucking up to people in Hollywood, attending all the right parties in LA to get a role all for nothing. It was her own road when she found her dream role and the one that launched her career. At this point Saki didn't need to attend events like this, she only did to find interesting people and maybe be considered for a role.
"Yeah, I always feel like the same producers show up to these things here. I don't normally go." Moving to Aurora Bay had been a choice after she found out about the manor. It hadn't helped with their career. "Well next one of these sorts of things you want to go to, you should text me. At least we can be miserable together."
"Similar wavelengths then. You and-and I on that one," There had surely been a point to these more so at one point. Where friends could tell other friends about their stuff. Or maybe actually seem to have conversations that moved along more in regards to lives lived rather than projects worked. Now it just seemed like a whirlpool of networking in a way that felt underhanded. Still, seemed like Rhia was at one at least once a month now.
Her smile was impossible to hide. One that was wide, but somehow still bashful. She was just happy to get to spend time with Saki again in general. "Would I-? Yes. Yes, I'd love to-to go get dinner with you. Get out of here and stuff." The briefest pause. "I'm good whenever. If it helps. No coat room or anything like that f-from me today."
"I love that for us." Saki looked around the room once more before turning their attention towards Rhia. Honestly it was much better when she didn't have to pretend to care about a room full of people who probably wouldn't think twice about her after she left. But maybe that was being pessimistic and Saki didn't love to be like that very often. It reminded them of their foster mom.
"Good. I'd like that too." She hadn't been sure the offer would be taken up. Although she tended to not think that highly of herself in situations like this. Even though they weren't sure what this was. "Same." Saki looked around the room one more time and held out their arm. "Let's go."
"What is your grandfather known for?" she asks, genuinely curious, "I'd say that my family is well known, but it's more locally and it's only because we come from a long line of morticians. We're the physical representation of the coffin riddle." @sakigrey
"He was an actor. Was in a popular spy franchise. He's buried here in town." Saki hadn't visited the grave. It was strange enough living in his mansion. There were so many posters of his movies in her house. It felt like stepping into a museum sometimes. "That's still pretty neat."

"You've never dated anyone who pissed you off?" Esther scoffs. "Or do you mean you've never wanted to piss them off back? Either way, couldn't be me. I am so deeply vengeful, it's like a sickness."
Eyebrows furrowing, she says, "Wait...what do you mean you stole a car that was left to you?" @sakigrey
"No. Most of the relationships I've had were all fake for press. Or ended naturally. My career has always been way more important than any relationship too." Which wasn't to say they hadn't hooked up with people, but they didn't have that much experience dating someone. "I think I'm probably nice for that." She wasn't judging.
"My mom left it to me when I turned eighteen, but my foster mom wouldn't let me use it unless she knew where I was going and when I'd be back. I kinda left home and stole the car."
The dullness of the numerous moments before this quickly disappeared. A little bit of sunshine could bring about color and Saki had been more than just a single ray when they had spoken before. All the same, even if it had been just a miniscule bit of it, Rhiannon was thankful to know someone here. Always moving and doing a job inside a recording booth had cut her out of most social functions. "S-Something more akin to the second one, yes," She smiled, almost whispering so no one would take offense. If they heard, that is.
"Oh? Yeah, I can see why," A bit more back to normal level, the nervous voice actor glanced around the scene. "It-It can be a b-bit hard not to feel like a prized cattle being b-brought out at these things. Proving ourselves or m-making sure-sure everyone knows us-" Realizing she was rambling, Rhia shook her head, "Do you want to g-get out of here? With me maybe?"
These events were never Saki's favorite to attend. They liked smaller events where they knew everyone that was going to be there. But still, attending them to get out there was important regardless of their feelings about it. "That's how I'm feeling too." She wished there were more interesting people around, but really it was just... well Rhiaannon. Everyone else was so dull in comparison.
"I thought there'd be more people without current projects, but I think everyone here is working on something. Sure there probably were projects in the works, but they'd been here long enough to say hello to most people. "That's what I was doing too." A reminder that she still existed. "I'd love to. Do you, um, want to go get dinner?"
