"OH FUCK OFF!"

At first Matt looked extremely confused at AJ as he got up from his seat. Then he fought every nerve in his body not to act smug as AJ looked like he wanted to deck him. This was by far a record of pissing AJ off. Normally it took at least a few minutes and maybe a jab towards him and Jamie. Not that Matt did that often. Just enough to know that it works. But then AJ turned to the others and threw his fries at them yelling to get them all.

It was then that Matt noticed Yessi. Or rather her eye rolling. Instantly all smugness fled his body. So it was going to be like that? No civility, just instant distaste. She didn’t have to be here or join in on the road trip. There were plenty of people for her to do in LA. Though then Matt realized that she probably thought the same of him to some extent. Which only meant that if they couldn’t stand each other on the trip it would eventually explode. Matt didn’t like those kind of explosions. They were far too taxing. Far too annoying. So he did what he always did. He threw Yessi an empty smile and then turned to the others. AJ was stomping off in the meantime.

He slid in the boot after Monica and Mandy took their seats. Right in time for Aleks to offer him a fry. “Don’t mind if I do.” He said as he reached over for one. Muscle memory made him hold it in between fingers like a cigarette before he chomped it down. Then it dawned to him that he alone could not be possible for AJ’s outburst. “I see you’ve all been working up AJ already. Damn it guys that’s so selfish.” He said with a worried face. As if he actually cared that AJ threw another tantrum. “You know how much I love setting off that guy. You really couldn’t wait until I got here?” He was sure to just face Chris and Aleks while keeping Yessi in the corner of his eyes. In all fairness, he was late.

Then Ellie joined in. “Nope, you didn’t miss anything.” He said with a far more inviting smile than he gave Yessi. “I set him off but I think I have to give credit to these two particular idiots.” He added as he pointed at Chris and Aleks. "But really, what better way is there to start a road trip off than with AJ throwing a tantrum." He flashed Ellie his almost trademarked shit-eating grin.

Ryleth was far from bothered when the flames came. They simply washed over his wards. Even the attack from the canopy did not mind him. He simply took a step back to dodge the strike. Then he heard the screams. Those infernal screams behind him. He turned around to see the Seeker burned by the flames. “Fools.” He whispered as he wove his enchantment. Seconds later a wave of chill passed over the flames. Extinguishing them. Still, the Seeker looked like she was mortally harmed.

At the same time two phantasms struck the ground next to Ryleth. Ryleth himself turned to the Keeper, the Slave and where he assumed the Leader was as well. “You’re all fools for attacking a necromancer here. This forest is not a serene sanctuary. This is nature’s battlefield. You walk on thousands of corpses.” As he finished, the ground around him broke. From the depths of the earth a figure crawled. It looked humanoid but it was far from human.

The first to stand up was also the greatest. A massive creature with a cave bear skull. Its limbs and chest were made from fused bone. Blue candle flames burned in its eye sockets. Rotten hide covered its back and it held two axes made from bone and with femurs as handles.

Then the other figure appeared from the shadows. She looked the most human-like. With makeshift skin of leaves, bark and barely rotten flesh. At the seams of her supposed skin you could still see a faint blue glow. Her weapon was a bow made from two arms, each holding the end of the string. Even though she looked almost human, there was an ethereal aura surrounding her.

“This is your final chance to accept my offer.” He said as he already pulled out another phylactery. Ready to take the pixie-witch her soul.

He was a liar.

That’s what Matt realized as he sat on the hood of his BMW, observing his cigarette like it was a stick of incense. In the past months he had only lied more. It started in autumn with the white lies. The little things you tell people for their own good. Then there were the silences he kept. Lies for the greater good. For friendship. Then there were his lies of omissions. He never told a soul just how shit he felt the last month. He just smiled and said he didn’t feel so good and that he ate something wrong. But there was always a smile so nobody dug deeper. He didn’t want them to dig deeper. Everyone had their own stuff to work through. Though recently he graduated to full-on, blatant lies. The one he sold AJ a week ago about why he couldn’t be at the party. He told him he had to be at some factory rave last night, tying up some loose ends.

All because he didn’t want to see her. Avoiding things had been his strong suit. Matt didn’t want any conflict or awkwardness. It made his life difficult. If he couldn’t solve the problem with a pill it wasn’t worth engaging. Of course, that always comes around. Even now he wasn’t sure if she was going to join them. He touched the phone in his pocket. At any point, he could call Matt and ask. That would raise suspicion though so that was out of the question. On the other hand he could just call and say he’s out. Take away the uncertainty of it all. No, he wanted to be on this trip. He needed to be on this trip.

So there was only one thing to do. As his cigarette burned down he tossed it away and said his goodbyes to the wonderful LA beaches. Minutes later he was tearing out of the parking lot and headed for the In-n-Out they’d all meet at. Of course, he had Gwen on the radio. What else would a literal former student of BHHS do at the end of the year? He smiled as she mentioned the Gearhead trip. Finally, the head gossiper heard about it. Then she said something about a Misfit trip too. Now that was an odd thing. Oh well, there was nothing to worry about. The gearheads would tear off into the sunset before the misfits left LA. The very thought summoned a bright smile as he enjoyed his trip.

It took him half an hour to reach the In-n-Out. He was late but that was his style. As he drove up the parking lot he downshifted a gear too low for what most would use and pushed the gas. His engine roared for a moment. Heralding his arrival before he quickly parked his car. Once he got out and while he lit a new cigarette he was quick to notice just how late he was. Almost every ride of the Gearheads was present.

“This is going to be good!” He exclaimed as he approached the group though he remained standing. Then he saw everyone eating, out ordering or stealing food from another. Damn, AJ had lettuce stuck in his teeth. “I’m MIA for one party and suddenly you all start acting out?” He said with a teasing smile before he took another drag of his cig.

GEARHEAD Matt

Matt Brown

18 • Male • Heterosexual

(FC: Ansel Elgort; Dialogue: F7941D)
♫ It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink ♫

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

► reputation

Matt is often described as your stereotypical jock for better or worse. Like all jocks he plays football. In fact he’s pretty good at slipping through the defenses and run like hell. But don’t be mistaken. On the field he might not tackle anyone but he’s known to get in a fight from time to time. Though they’re never so bad that he can’t walk the next day. Besides, he’s of the opinion that a big bruise suits him. Fighting isn’t the only thing he does though. Rumor has it that he got a go with every single cheerleader in the squad. It’s no secret that he goes around. You’d think that with all that on his plate he wouldn’t have time for anything else. That’s where you’re wrong. You see Matt has a nasty habit to tease almost everyone. Sadly if people react in a sensitive way to his teasing they become a target for things more teasing. Until it spills out into outright bullying. Matt doesn’t really know the difference nor does he car. He’s smart enough to stay off teachers their radar though. So he has never been caught. His private life is as busy as his school life. On Fridays and Saturdays you can find Matt at street racer parties. No doubt that’s where he gets his stuff from to deal. If he isn’t at some party he’ll be at his own little chop shop. It’s a small thing, sure. But any fledgling street racer in LA will have visited him at least once.

His friends aren’t entirely excluded from the teasing but he’s far from heartless towards them. Most of the time he just wants to have a fun time. Still when things get serious Matt rises up to the challenging. In a fight he’ll have your back. When there’s trouble Matt will help you. No matter what issues you’re dealing with. He might not always be the most soft spoken person but he means well.

► Noteworthy appearance traits

Matt is not Matt without his leather jacket or his earbuds. Other than that he looks quite average.

► Ride

BMW 8 Series Cabriolet.

► Current dilemma

Matt got accepted in both MIT and Hardvard Business school. At MIT he’d be able to pick up Mechanical Engineering. So in the future he could help design and manufacture high end cars. While his father would want him to step into the financial business like him. The problem is that in his head both paths have the same amount of pros and cons. His parents have been pushing him to make a decision. In fact he promised he’d make one during the summer but as June approached the doubt only grew. So when the Gearhead road trip was announced he jumped onboard immediately. Though he did promise his parents he’d make up his mind on the trip.

► warning

In March of 2020 something terrible happened to a girl named Naomi at one of the famous BHHS parties. Details remain rather vague on what exactly happened as police investigation is still underway. He avoids that subject in every way possible.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

► quirks

• Matt often smokes, to see how anxious he is just see how fast he smokes. The faster he burns them the more stressed he is.
• Often mumbles lyrics of songs even if there’s no music
• He dodges cameras as a game

► hobbies

• Tweaking Cars
• Reading (Even his friends are sometimes surprised that he reads in his free time)
• Fighting (Mostly boxing and some MMA though he doesn’t do it competitively)
• Dealing
• Teasing people

► dreams

Mat wants to make something of himself. He wants to be known for something but he doesn’t exactly know what yet.

► fears

There are obvious fears for him. Failure and accidents. He brushed close to both in the past. While he these fears are quite superficial does not mean that he thinks they are in any way cheaper.

_{But deep down he fears jail now more than ever.}

► occupation

Officially Unemployed

► family

• Lana Farweight - His mother. The Farweight family are no strangers to high society. Though they are mostly known in New York. Lana decided to move to LA where she was quickly picked up as a model for several high-end fashion brands that wanted to associate themselves with NYC socialites. These days she works for several non-profit organizations.
• Paul Brown - His father. Coastal cities like LA are filled with reach families. Though the art of finance is generally perceived as a dull one. So they hire people like Paul to manage their money. Paul's office handles the monetary needs of the west coast.

► brief history

When Lana and Paul married and had Matthias there was absolutely no indication that he’d be a gearhead. He grew up to be the child they’d expect him to be. Fairly popular but still does well in school. Everything looked like he would follow in his father’s footsteps. Until that one faithful summer where he stayed at his uncle for two weeks. When he came back he was a changed kid. Matt became far more free-spirited. A year later he snuck out to go to a party, a street racer one. He was sold the moment he arrived and heard the choir of engines.

After that, he had found his passion. He got his license as soon as possible and his father saw himself somewhat obligated to give Matt his own first car. For a year he joined several street racers though he quickly realized he was more interested in the engines under the hood than the races themselves. Through research and a lot of trail and error he refined his own skills. Of course, at the parties he picked up more than his love for engines.

Drive Like You Stole It: Summer Road Trip

I'm down for this. Would be playing a Gearhead.

Spells in the Dark (18+ for Dark and suggestive themes)

Ryleth was approaching the clearing quickly. There was little time to spare. If Phagora arrived before he could finish his business his entire plan would collapse. The witch was powerful but utterly unguided. You couldn’t tell her not to do something. It was impossible. In fact it was the reason why a child had died. But Ryleth wasn’t about to play the blame game. In the end it was his presence that pushed the witches over the edge. Without him the raid would never have happened. So in a way, while he never hurt a child directly he most certainly held some of the blame. In a way, because of him Angela had died. Now he wouldn’t let six other witches perish. He touched the saddlebag next to him, to reassure himself that the phylacteries were all still there.

The Nightmare stopped at a ridge overlooking the clearing. No doubt the witch standing guard would have felt the dark creature's presence already. However now they would no doubt see it’s bright, unnatural red eyes within the darkness. Ryleth dismounted and took five phylacteries from another saddlebag. They were far less ornate as those he had taken out of the crate yet still bore intricate runes chiseled into the delicate crystal. He uncorked each one of the phials. With a howl the phantom sealed within was unleashed in the form of a pale, white cloud gas flying erratically above its vessel. When all five were uncorked the phantoms took a fleeting, humanoid shape. All of them bowed.

“I give you purpose once more.” Ryleth said. “But tonight is different. “But tonight is different. It isn’t a battle. It isn’t a raid. It isn’t a slaughter. For once we are to play the savior.” The ghosts rose and looked at each other confused. “Down in the clearing, there are witches. Some will run. You capture them, alive, at any cost.”

The five spirits bowed once more before they collapsed in a gaseous state and flew into various directions. Ryleth released a sigh. Now the hard part would begin. He knew his servants would fulfill their duty. But could he say the same thing? He fought that doubt as he collected the phylacteries of his servants and placed them within the saddlebags again but he left them uncorked this time. So the spirit could return if required.

Minutes later he arrived at the clearing and dismounted his Nightmare again. With saddlebag in hand, he walked up the present witches. “Leader.” He made a courteous but small bow towards the head witch of the Coven. “I’m afraid I’m the herald of ill winds.”

“Alexina wants you dead.” Ryleth said. “Now she has found a way to kill you. Penitence. Three other witches will be coming soon with the same task. All three of us are bound by blood. You cannot fight me nor them. You know that. I have a solution though.” He held up one of the special, empty phylacteries. “Your body dies but the soul lives on so it can be given another form. I cannot promise you will not suffer but you will live. This is my offer.” Ryleth placed the phylactery on the grass before them and then took a step backward.

But the Warlock was no fool. In the past minutes, before he came down the ridge he had been weaving wards around him to protect him from magic. Almost all attacks would have to break through his arcane shields. Giving him ample time to react. Despite wanting to save them he did not trust these witches. Even though he considered them friends he refused to lower his guard.
