RIDING THE INTRO POST WAVE.
Hey, hey, hey! This is Rae (![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
speedforce) and I have two tall and morally ambiguous characters to bring to the table:
VALERIA “VAL” GARDNER (overrules), 45, has been Two Belles’ dance matron for around ten years now. She’s originally from Chicago, but moved to New York in her youth to be a moderately successful showgirl, then Los Angeles to be a not-so-successful film actress. She arrived in Personville after a series of setbacks and has been involved with the dance hall ever since—she was briefly a taxi dancer herself! To the general public, she’s a poised and gracious hostess; she’s a lot more relaxed around friends and family. Either way, she has a low tolerance for bullshit and will not hesitate to tell you off if you mess with her or one of her dancers. Her younger brother Marcos (cantaloop) also works for Two Belles in various ways, and she’s been involved with Jack Morello for seven years. Her full profile is here!esq), 35, is another one of Personville’s criminal prosecutors! He hails from a poor Irish Catholic family from Appalachian Virginia, and is both proud and resentful of the fact that he clawed his way up from nothing. He went to law school in Boston, which is where he met everyone’s favorite skittish lesbian, Irene (pinkcollar). They have lived in Personville—Fairview, specifically—for five years now. Roger is definitely the more confident and outgoing half of the Fitzgerald marriage, and while he may not immediately appear to be a slick fast-talker, what with the slow Southern drawl and the easy smile, he is a lawyer. Buyer beware. When he is not working hard for the money at City Hall, or contemplating taking bribes because city attorneys do not get paid, he can usually be found drinking with other lawyers and city hall employees. Or, you know, chatting up handsome men at The Velvet Club, because what is discretion? His full profile is here!

Her full profile is here!PLOT IDEAS ➜ Two Belles characters, come at me. She isn’t officially involved in the backroom, but she definitely has a reason to interact with people in the organization! Regulars customers, irregular customers, jazz and musical theater fans — Val still performs every now and then, for one, but she also regularly attends shows at the Imperial Theater, that kind of thing. Maybe a few Daily Herald folks who’ve tried to get a scoop on Jack via Val? (I’m looking at you, Teddy.) I don’t know, I’m pretty much down for whatever! :]ROGER FITZGERALD (

PLOT IDEAS ➜ Lawyers, politicians, police officers, all city hall types are welcome here. The wealthy and affluent — Roger both loves, hates, and envies the rich, which should be interesting and fun? Married couples! Please go on adorable double dates with the Fitzgeralds. Maybe a past fling? Again, I’m open to anything!Feel free to add me on the CDJs or shoot me an e-mail whenever! In fact, e-mail is probably the best way to contact me, since I’m prone to wandering away from my desk during the day and I’m rarely on messengers during the evening. I’ve hit up about half the intro posts so far, but I know there’s still a bunch I need to get to — hopefully I’ll be able to tackle those today. I’m really looking forward to writing with you all!
