OOC: Things to know about Jaye
I swear I was gonna do this before everyone else did!
I kinda can't believe that in my list of characters, Jaye's the one who actually takes some explaining. You don't have to read it, though I recommend it as I also mention how some of her posting goes, and if you step on my pings I keel you.
No one knows Wonderfalls right off, because it was on for four episodes before Fox started acting like Fox and axed it. Those bastards. It was a dramedy about a 24-year-old Brown graduate who is overeducated and undermployed. She's got a degree in philosophy (thank you, Jack Harkness, for guaranteeing I will never be able to say that without snickering again *g*) but works at a gift shop in Niagara Falls by choice, and lives in a trailer park because she can. She's the youngest in her family (parents Karen and Darrin, sister Sharon and brother Aaron), and the black sheep like woah.
The reason there's a show is that Jaye starts seeing inanimate objects move, and hears them talk to her. It's always an animal, most commonly a smushed-face wax lion from the gift shop. These animals tell her to do things. She's had to pull purses out of the trash, pull chairs out from under people, throw drinks on people... They're usually cryptic messages and she doesn't usually know what she's trying to accomplish, but bad things happen if she doesn't do them. Or they happen anyway. It always turns out that it all happened for a reason, that these stupid or mean or sometimes humiliating things she does are to actually help someone. It's just at her expense.
Whether Jaye's getting messages from some higher power, or if she really is just crazy remains to be seen. God damn you, Fox.
While Fandom's Jaye hasn't had the Wonderfalls job yet, she's got the lion. Also the canon brass monkey bookend that she stole from her therapist's office. One person IG knows Jaye's story, and that's Lorne, who just left. I didn't plan it that way, it just happened. Therefore she's kinda known as the crazy purse talker.
The lion is carried around in her purse. It talks, she talks back. I have icons for the animals, and they're mostly run from a separate journal because there are so many of them. *still has to make icons from her birthday presents, omg* I'm the one who comes up with the messages, and at times, I'll ask to ping off myself (not dirty) so the animals can talk. You can't hear the animals, can't see them moving. Only Jaye can do that. However, you can react to Jaye reacting to them.
I don't plot jump, but I do put my girl out there if you need her. The animals have reasons to tell her to do things, so if you think this can help you out with a plot, little, big, whatever, feel free to drop me a line and tell me what you need. All I ask for is about a day in advance so I can make sure she's around, that I have a message for her, and that she has something talkable around.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled flist.
