I just app'd Caiden here. He's 19, so I'd love to set up some history with that whole group that's owning the apocalypse here.

I'll also be posting a Wanted ad for his grandmother, who was a bigshot in organized drug/gun running. I want that Jessica Walter pb in this game, y'all. I am also figuring he could know some Red Talon elements because of it (looking at you,

baseline). Or some of the bikers, if they did jobs for his grandmother.

Also, just any Clarington ties/mentors/acquaintances are welcome!

what uuuup. i am also way into a jessica walter crime boss, for the record i mean, it's one uzi, caiden. what could it cost? ten dollars?

i figure grace has probably accompanied some grunts on a few trading missions when manpower was low or stretched thin. i'd definitely be down for saying that they've crossed paths/she's been on some missions to his grandmother's! i'd really like for her to maintain her cover for a little while, but she's not above threatening him into silence. or, you know, if he recognizes her but just can't quiiiite place her?

	She's exquisite, right? And Caiden's no rat! :P Even if he recognized her from who she was before, it wouldn't mean that she was still with them now, so she could even lie to him about that if she wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grandma didn't raise no fool. that sounds good, though!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It could be that just one of them recognizes the other. If he recognizes her, he would probably make a game of pretending to be just slightly suspicious to make her squirm. If she recognizes him and knows his grandmother is alive, she could consider that personal leverage maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oh, were they separated before/early in the outbreak and he's not sure she's alive? i assumed we were talking post-outbreak, sorry! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

oops, i misread the part about knowing his grandmother is alive. i thought you meant grace knew but caiden didn't know she was still kicking around, and using that as leverage or something. i see what you were saying, though, my bad!

anywho, yeah. i'd be down for either, if you had a preference for who recognized who! grace definitely wouldn't like to feel squirmy, at all. but the idea makes me lol so i wouldn't mind.

Caiden doesn't know for sure. Hopefully someone will pick her up and that will lead to some fun down the line.

And she doesn't know he's alive either, presumably, so anyone who could bring him back to her would probably be due some sort of reward (assuming she's positioned herself in some place of authority in Red Talon or whatever).

I do like the idea of him having some fun with knowing who she was though, and that is the simpler option.

so he's got dirty money status? is this like a thing people suspect but could never pin sort of deal? i'm trying to figure out where this would fit into her original 'perfect child' persona reaction to him and how it could have possibly evolved from there in the last 6 months. he could easily be marked as a distraction. and since he treats Lulu well, she'd reconsider her approach.

Big time on both counts. Caiden himself was outgoing and friendly, and he's close with Lulu so that probably did influence how things went. I'm up for love, hate, and everything in between for him. He would have gone out of his way to be friends with her if she was friends with other people he knew, so it's up to you if that would work or just annoy tf out of her.

she would have been civil at first and probably got suckered in by his personality, but also went out of her way to never really open up to him or anything at school. no doubt her parents probably tried to warn her off him and she'd have to explain the school circles/hierarchies to them. i think it'd be cute if she totes had a crush on him, but was basically planning to take it to the grave.

	That sounds perfect, and should be fun to see her grapple with now that the whole hierarchy is in complete chaos. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	she spent so much time trying to cultivate a life that will not come to fruition, while she's adjusted, she's very frustrated at all the time she feels she wasted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	okay so i love how all the teens have gone to the same school so everyone can get connected in some sort of way. emmie def' wasn't part of betty's friend group (but they were bio lab buddies)! what's his personality like? how was he in high school? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Overzealously friendly, marginal grades, plenty of unearned confidence. Obnoxious, but not malicious about it. Better in sports than most classrooms, but artistic and theatrical. He unabashedly loved art, cooking, and literature classes. STEM was another matter. adds all this to profile, stat (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
