holla!

So! Here we have Eli Reyes. (If you call him Elias, he won't respond.) He's doing his junior year over again at Dalton because last year, everything in his life changed and he just said "fuck it," to school and went on his merry way. That didn't really work out well for him, as you can see. A little bit more history...Eli grew up in a trailer park with his mom and godmother after the dad failed to step up. Last year, his mom found someone, and as you do, they dated and fell in love and got married. Eli was not terribly happy about this. He's also worked as a pizza delivery boy since he was fifteen, so it's plausible that he could've delivered to Dalton, should you want your character to recognize him that way!

In terms of personality, he's a bit shallow. Not in the first sense of the word, but more like - he'll be friendly enough, and he'll joke around with you and he'll have your back, but he'll never talk about himself. It started when he was growing up noticeably poorer than all the other kids, and it's just become his defense mechanism. He loves music and just recently brought his own guitar (with his own money, huzzah!) Eli also plays sports - football & lacrosse. Football was so he'd survive at McKinley, lacrosse is just because he actually enjoys it. Right now, he thinks he's waaaay too out of place at Dalton with all the preppy rich kids, even though he's technically one of them by now.

He's also straight, so you know, he may also feel out of place because of that. ;) But yes, have at him! He promises he won't bite (kinda.)

yo yo yo~

This here is Macy Grimes, Dalton's new Academic Advisor and co-Guidance Counsellor. I have a few main motivations for bringing in another GC, to be honest. One is that, let's face it, Gabe and Bas both need H-E-L-P, and it's awkward for/unfair to Spider to have to ignore their issues or write solo threads. The second is the fact that, given the issues that some of the boys have, a female counsellor seems warranted and might be the more ideal option for some students.

So, anyway! Macy will be 32 in November, and she's a graduate of Yale. She's got a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, but she spent quite a few years doing research, so this is only her second practising job despite graduating just shy of 27. She's really looking forward to meeting and helping both the students and the staff, so don't be shy about getting in touch with her! I'll be sure to get her Anon. thread up soon, too, and I'll edit the link into this post/have her mention it in her first proper post :)

ETA: et voilà.

Fun Fact about Westerville

I'm still out, guys, and Archie probably will miss another Friday post. Pretend he didn't miss either?

I had to share this fact that I learned and can't believe none of us have made mention of yet--Westerville, Ohio, is the place where Prohibition began. It's the dry capital of the world, and it's something they're very proud of. Has a museum for it and everything. The guy I'm staying with actually went to college there, so he was telling me about it. Apparently, his college was incredibly anti-drink, but incredibly open about sexuality. Go figure!
