_{Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while you sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world}

7:30 AM, April 9th 2018.

And they say New York is the city that never sleeps. Terrence had gone to bed early that night (i.e. at 10:50) so he could cram in a few extra hours of sleep, but so many cars were passing by his window it was impossible to sleep. Thankfully, he didn't run on sleep, but coffee. Though he still sometimes thought that if he moved into the family home, instead of making a makeshift home in his office at Birch House, he wouldn't be in this mess.

He was currently standing over his desk, papers piled high, with a mug of coffee in his hand. He had far too much work to do today, but how was that different from usual. Without his work, he told himself what felt like every day, then the ecosystem of budding talent upstairs would cease to exist. And there was no way in hell that he'd leave it up to Marianne and Will: his lazy cousins. They didn't care about the building as he did, and shirked all responsibilities to do with it, in favour of going out clubbing.

As he sat down, he could hear chattering and footsteps above him. The lobby was already buzzing with people. He had set up his home/office in the basement of the building, and the lobby was just above. The lobby was a popular hangout for the many residents of the apartment block, so when he got the place he decided to make it into a 'common room', he added in a drinks machine, many more sofas, a television, and put in lots of powerpoints so people could charge their devices. He was very proud of his work.

He worked for ten minutes, fighting the need for sleep with the ultimate weapon: caffeine. But enough was enough. Part of his daily routine was the visit the lobby in the morning, listen to any gripes people had with the building or suggestions as to how he could make things better, check that everybody was in a job, and overall have a chat with whoever wanted a chat. He saw himself as a substitute father figure to all his tenants. Lots of them had terrible childhoods and needed someone to look out for them whilst they were living alone. That's what he was there for.

He walked up the stairs, coffee still in hand, and into the lobby. He was hit with a wave of chatter, friendly conversation between likeminded people. To him it was beautiful. That's what he liked to see. He turned his head quickly as someone called his name.

"Good morning Mr Walsh!"

"Morning, Laurie! How's that job in Spago coming?"

"It's awesome. Thanks for your help with that."

"Anytime! That's what I'm here for!" He called, sitting down on a sofa in the corner, content with watching his tenants mingle.

• Cycling
• Intense crossword sessions
• Expanding his coin collection

Likes:

• His building
• Going to the beach at sunrise
• Punk/emo music
• Crime films
• Cycling
• His coin collection
• Intense debates

Dislikes:

• Health food
• Airheads
• His cousins
• People with no ambition
• Having to dress smartly
• Chaos
• Dull social functions

Personality:
There are many stories in the media about Terry, and how intense and driven he is. Having lived somewhat in the public eye from birth, the scion of an empire that brings new art into the world, he's grown very used to it the attention, and the stories that circulate about him. One would expect him to be absurdly formal, upright, and impassioned in person. That could not be further from the truth.

In person, he's the most relaxed, free-spirited, nonchalant guy you'll ever meet. He's not friendly per se, he does appear to be a bit aloof at times, but he's laid-back and does his best to make his tenants feel accepted as soon as they step through the door of his building. Many people note his passion for music, and he loves hearing fellow artists talk about their passions. He may come off as pretentious at times, but he truly cares about his music.

When he gets angry or seriously impassioned is when you meet the man that the press talks about. He has been known to miss meals and sleep when he's working hard on a project, and becomes very irritable. He finds it hard to regulate this behaviour, and it has caused him serious problems in the past.

Like his father, he has an addictive side. His vice is not drugs, but work. He drowns himself in work to escape his problems. If you could stop him from working, then he'll find some other way to occupy himself. His childhood with a drug-addled father was not ideal, and at heart, he seeks some form of connection to make him feel needed. So he'll work until you don't need him.

In a relationship, Terry has a similar philosophy. He's a true giver, who'll do practically anything to please his significant other, asking for nothing in return, and his passionate side seeps through again. He does, however, frequently get jealous, but he tries his hardest to regulate that.

Aspiration:
As much as he adores Birch House, Terrence wants his cousins to share some of the responsibility for it so he can pursue his true ambitions: become a composer. His dream is to be a famous composer one day, along with the likes of Alexandre Desplat and Johnny Greenwood.

Theme song:
I Won't Hurt You - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

_{I'm an untouched diamond
That's golden and brilliant without illumination
Your mouth's a constellation
Stars are in your eyes}

Welcome To Birch House!

---

Congratulations kid. You've made it. It took years of saving, convincing your parents that this was a good idea and insisting that you won't end up homeless, but you've finally made it. You moved to Hollywood. Was it the best idea you've ever had? Who's to say. Was it the stupidest thing you've done? Who's to say. Maybe the best decision you've made so far was choosing to live in Birch House, an apartment block that is well-known for its community of starving artists. Some great talents started off there, you know. No matter what career you're pursuing, wether you just moved here or you're a bitter cynic who's been trying to make it big for years, there's a place for you here!

Go ahead, make your name the biggest in the world, do your best to never sell out but remember this: It's the people around you who'll make this town worth living in. Have a nice time.

Birch House + History

Based off of his old apartment in New York, Lucas Walsh founded Birch House in 1953, a building which used to be an old tailors. Though his skills as a businessman were poor, Walsh knew some families whose children wanted to make it in Hollywood and offered to let them live there. It quickly became well-known as a community for new talent to start networking and collaborate.

However, in 1994, he died of pancreatic cancer. Birch House almost went bankrupt under the care of his 25 year-old son Robert, who didn't care for his father's business as much as he did for heroin. Robert's saving grace was dealer, who has taken a shine to him, and anonymously donated $1,000,000 to his client's buisness, in 2002. Things went smoothly for ten years, until Robert took an overdose, saved just in time by his wife. He was checked into rehab.

That year his son, Terrence, took over the family business, and Birch House is still run by him to this day.

Rules

• I love IC drama. But, please, keep it out of the OOC tab. Take it to the PMs!
• An alternative to that last rule is: respect everyone and don't be a jerk.
• I reckon swearing and drugs are going to come into this a lot (so please be over 18), but is things get a little bit risque, fade-to-black, please.
• This is going to be character driven, so try to have at least two paragraphs per post, with decent spelling and grammar.
• If you need to drop out or go on hiatus, tell me, just don't ghost me. I've had that happen enough in my love life...
• When you've finished your CS, post it in to OOC tab, then wait for approval. When I've accepted it, post it in the character tab.
• Have fun! Just so you know, not having fun is punishable by death/virtual cookies of doom.

Another Day Of Sun

@2plus2isnot5 I was just going to update everyone actually.

Suffice to say, I've been very ill as of late, so I'm shattered. But, I've started recovering, so hopefully I can get to finishing the (presumably underwhelming) OOC as soon as possible.

Another Day Of Sun

@Ejected @Kitty @Bee @Avanhelsing @SolusFalcon @2plus2isnot5 @lozi @baraquiel

Great! That's eight peole! I'll have the OOC up ASAP, hopefully by Friday at the latest.
