Jaye ran late this morning. Her alarm didn't go off, her hot water was dicey, it was just a rough start. At least she called in so that when she got to the store, she greeted them with, "Sorry I'm late. Thanks for covering for-"

And then she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Bianca, her hair dyed dark and straightened to exactly match Jaye's, and the expression on her face was one that Jaye only ever saw in a mirror.

"Hey," Bianca said, with an air of bored aloofness.

"...me," Jaye said slowly.

dun dun dunnn )


[From Wonderfalls episode #2. This episode is not kind about stutters and I'm very sorry.]

On Bianca's second day of work, Jaye noticed something.

Bianca handed a customer their merchandise in a store-branded bag, with a "Thanks for shopping at Wonderfalls."

"Hey," Jaye said, walking over to her. "That was perfect."

uh oh )
fates_jaye: (bored)
You know what was fun? The time difference meaning that Jaye still had to pop into her job to get her check this week. And the place was filled with tourists.

"It's Monday. What's with all the busy?" Jaye asked.

"Boats aren't running," Mouthbreather said. "Fogged in."

"Again? It's the Maid of the Mist. Mist. Where's Leslie? Isn't she always whining about not getting enough hours?"

"Yes. That’s why she quit."

"Leslie quit?"

"Last summer. I need more envirofriendly plastic bags. Can you work today?" Mouthbreather asked.

listen. jaye is not nice. )


[NFB, NFI, etc. From Ep 2, Karma Chameleon.]
fates_jaye: (unimpressed)
It wasn't that Jaye wanted to be home. Thanks to the weirdass time thing going on like that episode one of canon took place six years ago and we're all just gonna go on this journey, she'd barely even left home. But Karen's book was being released, and there were a few familial responsibilities Jaye had to go along with from time to time.

Even if it meant a semi-ceremonial reading of the book jacket at dinner.

[NFB, etc. We're on to episode #2!]
fates_jaye: (in a van down by the river)
I was just going to do an info post for Alexis, and then I realized I'm actually in dire need of an update for Jaye. the update is that there's sort of no update )

what the muses mean for you! this is important! )


And since we have a returning player, here's a quick and dirty on my other characters:

there's more than expected )
fates_jaye: (yay jaye!)
It was actually kind of busy at the store today. A lot of people who'd been to Niagara for New Year's were leaving to get back to work tomorrow, which meant last-minute souvenir shopping, which meant Jaye had a lot of people to mostly ignore. And when she got bored of them, she started playing on her phone. Which was when she saw the voicemail from the radio station (???) and decided to listen to it.

There were not words for this kind of joy. If you'd ever experienced the miracle of life, or gotten literally everything you ever wanted in life, or, who knows, saw a really pretty sunset once or whatever, suck it, you know nothing.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" the Mouthbreather asked as Jaye headed to the break room.

"On break," she said.

"You just took one."

"Then I'm going on lunch," she said.

And actually, it did take almost an hour of her checking Portalocity, trying to book stuff, and then getting on hold with customer service as they told her they didn't have any portals out of her dimension until next week.

It probably didn't do any good when she replied that everyone there was fired.

[NFB, NFI, la la laaaaaaaa.]
fates_jaye: (snark)
Jaye would like to say that she was forced into going to dinner and game night at her parents' (and Aaron's) house, but in reality she just didn't have a good enough excuse to get out of it. But everyone was being cheerful and sickening and trying to play Pictionary Jaye had finally excused herself to hide out in the bathroom.

After about half an hour of watching stupid YouTube videos on her phone, she heard the knock. "Jaye? It's your father. Are you all right in there?"

Of course it was her father. It was his house. "Nope," she said from where she was sitting on the floor against the door. "I think it's Sharon's cooking."

"Well, she's leaving soon."

"Okay, tell me when she's gone," Jaye said, and went back to watching her phone.

She was so the best sister ever.

[My streak was ruined but I had to finish the tour of Natalie Has Pretty PB's.]
fates_jaye: (omg!)
After popping onto the island for a visit yesterday, she got a room at the Arms, because why not blow money when she'd probably just be back here for homecoming anyway. This was a mistake.

She didn't wake up thinking 'who am I' or anything, but once she'd moved around the room and woken up a bit, she started wondering why she was in a hotel room. Sadly- and this said a lot about Jaye- her first action was to go into the bathroom and make sure there was no one passed out in a tub full of ice in there.

There wasn't. Just for the record.

This left her standing in the middle of the room in her pajamas, wondering what the hell was going on and what she was doing, when all of a sudden out of the corner of her eye, she saw the little wax lion on her nightstand turn to her and say, "Good morning, sunshine!"

So that completely high-pitched screaming you heard? Yep, that would be what that was about.


[This is what happens when you bring your characters back on a whim. Open to anyone who might've heard the shrieking.]
fates_jaye: (shock!)
You'd think Jaye would have Labor Day off of work, but nooo. It was the last big vacation weekend of the summer and god forbid people couldn't buy overpriced crap with "NIAGARA FALLS" printed on it, so Jaye was at work. Not that she was actually doing anything. Then again, she didn't do much most days.

"Jaye, you're supposed to be restocking the shot glasses," the Mouthbreather told her.

"I did it already," Jaye lied.

"Oh, did you? Because they look pretty unstocked."

Jaye made a face at him, and started to speak- and that was when the ice water fell right on top of her, for a good long time, too.

Once it was done, Jaye shivered, and said, "I'm going home early."
fates_jaye: (close up)
"-so you see, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client can't have done any of these things. I rest my case. CHUNG CHUNG."

Satisfied, Jaye took her seat again until they were released so the jury could deliberate. It was a tough trial, but Jaye, who'd gotten her life together in college and even graduated early from law school, could reassure her client that she'd get him off. Not dirty. That'd been part of his problem to begin with.

And once the jury went off and everyone left the courtroom, Jaye found a quiet place to sit for a moment, confident it wouldn't be long before the jury came back.


[YOUR MOVE, STEVE. Open for calls and texts!]
fates_jaye: (i'm with a customer)
Jaye was at work. Which meant that she was present, but not so much that she was actually doing anything. Naturally.

She'd gotten a job in a gift shop by the falls, which barely paid enough to pay for her trailer, but at least she got to snark on tourists. Not that there were many around right now, because it was freezing in most areas of the country and giant waterfalls were probably not a big draw right now. So she was keeping herself "busy" by rearranging knickknacks. Or she was picking them up and putting them right back down in the same place again, whatever.


[For me!]
fates_jaye: (half face)
Wakes and funerals were pretty much the worst things ever to begin with, and it was so much worse when you were related to the person. It was all tears and "Do you remember how he used to" and forced socialization with family members you tried to avoid on a normal basis. Plus everything smelled like embalming fluid and calla lilies and she would not be convinced otherwise. So if you didn't mind, Jaye was going to find a corner unoccupied by anyone else and hang out with her drink. Which was nonalcoholic, because alcohol wasn't available, and did anyone else see anything wrong with that?

trips home are really just excuses for this )

[Had to. NFB, NFI, SDCC.]
fates_jaye: (serious listening)
Jaye was up early for her, for a Saturday, meaning it was somewhere around 11 am. Don't judge. She'd spent most of her week feeling all jumpy (though she was proud of herself for only doing stupid things twice), so she was allowed to sleep in today. And when she got up, her first thought was to run for the coffee. Or, sleepily shuffle towards the coffee. Whatever.

This was her priority list when she left her room: 1) Coffee. Somewhere around 20) Notice the TV was on and there was a kid in the apartment.


[For that kid, and no I didn't forget to post this why do you ask.]
fates_jaye: (you're not serious)
Jaye didn't do much on Fridays, because she didn't have to. She could sleep in... actually, that was all she really wanted to do. Maybe drag herself in front of the TV for trashy court shows. The world was supposed to be ending today, right? She was fine going out like that.

So she was a little annoyed to be woken up by a knocking, and when she went to answer it... there were gremlins at her door. For anyone who'd had a couple bites in her life, that was something to be nervous about, but one just cleared its throat, and they started singing.

...Well, this was awkward. Jaye was still in her sleep clothes, wondering if she had to wait for them to finish or not. Like, would they be good if she was polite? Or at least, non-rude?

She waited for them to finish, then said, "Yesthatwasveryprettythankyoubye" and closed the door before any of them could try to bite.


[Establishy!]
fates_jaye: (eek)
When Jaye got in to her office, the first thing she did was turn on her computer. And the first thing she saw when she got to her email was the message from Sharon asking about accommodations for the weekend and making plans.

Jaye shut the computer the second she read the email. Maybe she could pretend she never saw it and it wasn't even there because this wasn't happening. If only she had Alec (her Alec, not Not Alec) around to hide out in the MCA bunker with.

Wah.
