The Tormented



Taken





Beatrice had always considered [THE TORMENTED] her closest friend, the kind of bond that only time and shared history could forge. From the laughter-filled days of childhood to the late nights of whispered secrets, they had been inseparable. It was at [THE TORMENTED]'s house, perched on the edge of Bleak Pines, where the group had spent their last night together. The memories of that night were bitterly sharp, especially for [THE TORMENTED], who had watched Beatrice leave, drunk and disoriented, and offered her a ride home. Beatrice had declined, as if unknowingly setting the stage for the tragedy that would unfold.

When the news of Beatrice's disappearance reached them, a heavy guilt clung to [THE TORMENTED] like a second skin. The weight of the unanswered question, could they have done something differently? gnawed relentlessly. It was a torment that refused to release its grip, even as the years passed.

In the months that followed, [THE TORMENTED] had briefly found solace in a brief, turbulent relationship with [THE RESENTFUL]. It had been a fleeting attempt at distraction, but their relationship ended in acrimony, leaving behind the same bitter taste that lingered from Beatrice's departure. Bleak Pines, once a place of familiarity, now felt like a cage, a reminder of what had been lost, and of the mistakes that couldn’t be undone.










The Forgetful



open





[THE FORGETFUL] was the last to join the diner booth crew, arriving just weeks before Beatrice’s disappearance. Because of this, they didn’t feel the same weight of loss that seemed to anchor the others. To them, Beatrice’s memory didn’t bring comfort or joy, it was a specter, keeping the group shackled to the past. They believed the others needed to let her rest, to finally move forward and find happiness. But voicing such thoughts felt dangerous, almost sacrilegious, so they kept their feelings buried.

In quieter moments, [THE FORGETFUL] would catch themselves glancing at [THE NIGHT OWL], a lingering remnant of a high school crush they’d never dared to confess.










The Resentful



open





[THE RESENTFUL] had spent their life in Beatrice’s shadow, always second place. Every accomplishment, every triumph, seemed to pale in comparison to hers. Joining the diner booth crew only magnified the imbalance, Beatrice commanded all the attention, all the love, leaving [THE RESENTFUL] feeling invisible. Their parents’ constant comparisons only deepened the wound, turning admiration into simmering resentment.

When Beatrice disappeared, [THE RESENTFUL] felt an unsettling calm. There was no denying the pang of guilt that followed, but there was also a twisted sense of relief. For the first time, the possibility of stepping out from Beatrice’s shadow felt real. The thought of finally being first, of no longer living in comparison, was intoxicating, no matter how absurd it seemed to take solace in her absence. After all, despite everything, they had been friends.

During high school, [THE RESENTFUL] had secretly harbored feelings for [THE LOVER], even though they were in a relationship with Beatrice. When she vanished, it felt like a door had opened, one they didn’t hesitate to step through. But their attempt to pursue [THE LOVER] ended in disaster. The confrontation was sharp and unforgiving, with [THE LOVER] lashing out, accusing [THE RESENTFUL] of disrespecting Beatrice’s memory by trying to take her place. The fight left their relationship fractured, irreparably strained. Awkward silences and unspoken tension filled the spaces between them, making it impossible to recapture what little camaraderie they once had, they shortly had a relationship with [THE TORMENTED] a few months after the fight, but from the very start, things were just never going to work out.










The Night owl



open





[THE NIGHT OWL] was always the smart one, the dependable problem-solver the group turned to when faced with questions or dilemmas. Reliable and insightful, they were a steady presence, but their quiet nature often kept them on the sidelines of the diner booth crew’s more social moments. High school life and group activities sometimes felt like a party they weren’t entirely invited to. But Beatrice was different. She had a way of bridging the gap, pulling [THE NIGHT OWL] into the circle and making them feel like they belonged. For the first time, they had a place to call home.

When Beatrice vanished, [THE NIGHT OWL]’s carefully constructed world began to crumble. She had been their anchor, the first person to truly see them, to give them space to vent, to feel connected. Things at home were never easy, and the group had become an escape. But without Beatrice, the group felt fractured, incomplete. Refusing to accept her disappearance as mere happenstance, [THE NIGHT OWL] became consumed with theories and conspiracies, convinced there had to be an explanation.

Their obsession with finding answers grew relentless. Each yearly reunion became an opportunity to dig for new clues, no matter how tenuous. But this single-minded pursuit came at a cost. The intensity of their fixation alienated them from the rest of the diner booth crew, creating a chasm that widened with each passing year. What had once been a source of solace now felt like another thing they had lost.










The lover



open





[THE LOVER] had started their relationship with Beatrice during their sophomore year. It all felt so natural. Beatrice had a kindness and an irresistible magnetism that seemed to draw people in without effort. [THE LOVER] had been just one of many captivated by her, but fate—or luck—had worked in their favor. Being her neighbor gave them a chance to connect outside the chaos of high school hallways, turning chance encounters into lingering conversations.

It wasn’t long before those moments grew into something more, and by the time they joined the diner booth crew as Beatrice’s significant other, [THE LOVER] was already deeply entwined in her world. They were quickly embraced by the group, becoming a vibrant presence, fun, caring, and always looking out for others. But there was one exception: [THE TORMENTED]. Beatrice’s childhood friend had a way of lingering too close, their connection too familiar, too intimate. It stirred a gnawing jealousy in [THE LOVER], a sense that [THE TORMENTED] wanted something more.

Their last night together would become a nightmare etched into memory. [THE LOVER] had drunk too much, their jealousy boiling over into a confrontation with [THE TORMENTED]. Heated words escalated into a fight, one that [THE TORMENTED] refused to back down from. Beatrice, furious and fed up, stormed out, leaving with [THE TORMENTED] to cool off. But when the night ended, only [The Tormented] came back. Beatrice had vanished.

The disappearance left [THE LOVER] drowning in guilt and resentment. The thought that Beatrice had chosen [THE TORMENTED] over them in her final moments cut deeper than they could admit. It twisted their anger into something sharper, especially when facing [THE TORMENTED], whose presence felt like a constant reminder of what they’d lost.
In the wake of her disappearance, the fallout was swift and unforgiving. The diner booth crew, once a haven, began to see [THE LOVER] in a new light, a hotheaded, volatile figure prone to anger. The fight had left a mark, not just on their reputation but on the fragile bonds they’d built. Time passed, but the shadow of that night lingered. Changing the way others saw them felt impossible, and no matter how much they tried to move forward, [THE LOVER] remained trapped by the weight of what had been, and what might never be.

Stay with me, stay! I need you to love me...



For such a tiny person, there are complex flavors and colors to Bex's demeanor and mannerisms. Due to a seemingly unlikely chance of survival, he now carries the weight of being the lone survivor at the hands of something sadistic. So, he's made himself as small as possible, carefully choosing to be reserved. This is not out of fear but of vigilance. When you blend into your surroundings it is transcendently easier to pick out the things surrounding you. He's not hoping to find something to battle through, but he's ready.

He has his faults though. Trust is a rare commodity that he only extends to the people he can trust in a nearly tangible sense. He's a loner, but a cheery one. He can get so stuck in his head that he comes off excruciatingly goofy in certain situations. There are many awkward silences on his part, but he more than makes up for it with compassion. He's as stern as a rock, with an ooey-gooey center.

A small flickering flame, he's forgettable because there are parts of himself he's stored to the point where only he can see: Like the fact that Stevie Nicks is his surrogate mother in his heart, or that he might have a crush on his closest friend, [The Night Owl]. Sometimes, he'll wake up with his hands and fingernails caked in numerous paints, having passed out while painting his heart's sweet muse the night before. He even collects modern mystery books for fun. You could look at him and never know these things. So, maybe it's a problem. And, maybe it's gonna take something big for him to work out the solution to this wicked ailment. Until then, he's content living his life having been voted "Least Likely to Be Anything".

Sydney Reeves
the resentful
basics
full name —
Sydney Angela Reeves
nickname —
Syd
age —
26
date of birth —
feb 8th, 1957 Aquarius Sun, Scorpio Moon, Capricorn Rising
gender —
female
pronouns —
she/her
sexuality —
bisexual
occupation —
record store manager



appearance

height —
5'8" she towers over most in her platforms
hair —
long, straight, brown
eye color —
brown
distinguishing features —
Syd is lanky, and freckled. She's got a nose ring and bangs she cut herself and a smattering of patchwork tattoos

persona

likes —
loud music, art, thrifting, cars, building things
dislikes —
people, madonna, fitness classes
hobbies —
making fun cocktails and weird art, playing bass and guitar, fixing and fiddling with music equipment


vices —
biting, cynical,
virtues —
responsible, creative, emotional

Syd's always been a bit of an oddball. A 'rugged individualist' one might say. She carves her own path, and she does it loudly. Syd likes to bash crash and smash her way through life in a rebellion against the forced responsibility of her early years. She can be very fun, and a ride or die friend who will take that phrase literally if push comes to shove, she can also take things way too far before she realizes.
Because her childhood necessitates adaptibility, responsibility, and rolling with the punches, Syd has learned to be laid back. Her attitude is a bit less easy going than it is apathetic, stemming from a lack of attachment. She avoids getting her hopes up and in the same vein, avoids dissapointment. Syd is disillusioned, and finds the pointlessness and lack of direction of her attempts at artistic expression to be cathartic.

Sydney has a sort of baseline layer of bitterness that she's been working through, a bit more successfully as of late than in the past. She's got a real chip on her shoulder carved out by her mother, and her inescapable reputation as the poor foreign girl in school. For a long time, she felt like a charity case. Living on her own and making her own art has helped her define herself outside of that narrative, but it was hard to escape.

background


Sydney's mom moved them to the states when she was young, splitting off when Sydney's dad ran off to 'discover himself' on a bender. She used to visit him in London, her city of origin, when she was younger and he had the money to fly her over. Syd hates her dad, but she loves London. Why her mother moved them away from any support system to Bleak Pines of all places, she'll never know. She retains a very slight accent, and a romantic opinion of England, somewhat distorted by a childhood fondness.

They lived together in a small trailer, and while Brenda was not actively a bad person, or a bad mother, she was profoundly avoidant and irresponsible. Close quarters can erode away at any relationship, particularly when Sydney was the only one who cared much if the kitchen was clean, if she passed her classes, or if Brenda came home last night.

She met Beatrice when their moms became fast friends. Brenda couldn't wait to pawn her young daughter off under the guise of a playdate or a sleepover. The two were practically unofficial sisters by fifth grade. Without all that much in common, they were mostly friends of proximity, but Beatrice's parents were always kind, if a little bit pitying. She spent more time at the Woods' house than her own, only really going home to check in on her mom, or get some alone time. Sydney really did care about Beatrice, but growing up with her wasn't exactly easy. Sydney struggled for her B average, her lanky build and cynical attitude didn't suit sports, and growing into her looks took a long time. She delivered papers in the mornings, and later worked at a local cafe in the afternoons, and the constant confrontation that she didn't have the looks, smarts, free time, or resources that Beatrice did just got harder as the gap became more and more obvious to their peers. She knew Beatrice well, but tended to get along better and more organically with other members of the diner booth crew.

headcanons —

Carries a lighter and often flicks it impulsively

Lives off of black gas station coffee. There's a coffee maker at work but she likes the ritual of going to the gas station, and the little paper to-go cup. She even likes the small talk with the gas station attendant.

She's a fixer. Syd hates throwing out something useful, she's pretty handy with a repair job even if it might be questionable. She fixes a lot of electronic stuff around the shop now and will sometimes take repair requests from clients but there's a 50/50 hance between it being done next-day, or being lost to the chaos of the record store backroom

Loves a dive bar. She's good at darts.

Julia Park
the lover
basics
nickname —
JJ, Julie or Jules
age —
26
date of birth —
Oct 4th 1957, libra sun, leo rising, ares moon
gender —
female
pronouns —
she/her
sexuality —
bisexual
occupation —
event planner



appearance

height —
5'5"
hair —
long, straight, brown
eye color —
brown
distinguishing features —
JJ is lean, clear skinned, free of tattoos or scars, but more muscular than one might expect from her

persona

likes —
expensive fabrics and coffee, philodendrons, a good workout, trivia night, good food
dislikes —
cold weather, high heels, fruity drinks, peanuts (will lie and claim an allergy if pressed)
hobbies —
plays in sports rec leagues, rock climbing, long late-night drives

vices —
jealous, possessive, manipulative
virtues —
determined, decisive, well connected

JJ is an intense person. She's cool under pressure, but decisive and strong willed. She's friendly and charming, and makes connections quickly and easily, although she often has trouble forging deeper connections. She's got 'a guy' for just about everything after years of problem solving and networking for various events, but has very few real friends and a sparse relationship history. Even with all their drama, the diner booth gang probably know her better than anyone else to this day.

She tends to be extremely action and results oriented and dislikes slowing down or dealing with feelings, especially if her feelings don't line up with what she logically thinks they should. She'll try to reason her way out of authenticity or vulnerability, or just try and run it off until it comes to a boiling point.

Julia wears her femininity like a mask, long hair, manicure and perfect makeup is more of a way of interacting with the world than it is a reflection of herself. Ultimately it can be hard to trust her, because she often finds herself molding into whatever shape would be advantageous at the moment. Certain things always show through, like her love of solving the ever changing problems that come up with work, or her fierce competitive streak.

JJ doesn't really have a secret sweet or sensitive side when you get to know her, but she does dress down a bit. In a more personal setting her casual side can seem a bit jarring if you haven't been privy to it and most people don't expect her to be as funny as she is. Julia is also more reserved and introverted than she may appear. Her introverted side was much more prominent back in high school, she's grown quite a lot of confidence since her teenage years.

background


Julia has always wanted to get out of Bleak Pines. When she was younger, she dreamed about becoming a bigshot doctor or lawyer in the city. JJ was homeschooled in her younger years, and as a sparsely socialized and kind of odd kid, she didn't have a lot of friends outside of the small homeschooling group her mom put together. The neighbor kids and the public school were a different world to her until she decided she wanted to attend regular high school. Initially she was motivated by the extra-circulars and better resources.

From the perspective of the small town students, she popped up out of nowhere. Stilted and awkward at first, she soon observed and replicated the hallmarks of a 'popular' girl. Her early and somewhat botched attempts caught Beatrice's attention in freshman year. When she realized they were neighbors, walks to and from school turned into an easy camaraderie. Bea saw right through her, made her laugh, showed her the ropes. At first, Julia thought maybe Bea had just been looking for a new project or something, but walks home turned into stolen glances in the hallway, and secret meetings under the bleachers. Julia still has never truly been herself with someone the way she could be with Beatrice. Even as she made other friends, she always felt a bit like she was looking in on something with her schoolmates who had known each other since elementary school.

When she joined the softball team, it helped. Being part of something larger made her fit into something concretely. She hoped for the same thing when she started spending time with Beatrice's other friends. Coming in as Beatrice's plus one was a bit different than the tight friendship the rest of the group shared, and Julia's insecurities got the best of her sometimes, often feeling like she had trouble organically meshing with the group. When the latent feeling the Tormented was holding for her girlfriend became clear enough to her, it just made things worse, putting a wedge into her already rocky feelings about the situation. They already had a longterm bond that Julia would never have been able to compete with and the jealousy seared her stomach like acid when they shared words with hidden meanings referencing jokes and adventures long past.

Beatrice said it was fine, that neither of them were interested anyway. Torn between anxiety and wanting to believe her girlfriend, Julia kept her feelings stuffed down into a little bottle inside. Until faced with alcohol.

The night Beatrice vanished is not a confrontation she's proud of. She was a mess in the immediate aftermath, her mother pulled her out of school temporarily, and she spent a long time searching, vainly grasping for some kind of answer or closure until her parents gave her an ultimatum. Get a real job, go to college, or get kicked out. It was the push she needed. Julia's been desperate to just move on for years now, but Bea's ghost haunts her despite her best efforts.

Always has a beverage. Always.
Overprepared for everything. Going on vacation? Four pairs of shoes. She knows your shoe size, she brought an extra pair for you too. You blink and everyone is lathered in sunscreen. STUDIES for trivia night.

Has full conversations with herself while driving

Her car is the only messy thing in her life, but she keeps everything you could possibly need in there. Like a black hole, but practical
