California Love -- An L.A. 90's Crime RP

The elevator door opened Celia wheeled herself down the hall towards her office. As she made her way down the hall she stopped at an open doorway and looked in seeing Dr. Amy Parker studying her computer screen and asked, "So how was your deposition yesterday?"

Amy brushed back her black hair and replied turning to Celia, "No biggie. Pretty straightforward." Amy looked over Celia's shoulder and walked over to close the door. When the door shut Celia turned her chair to Amy and asked with great anticipation in her voice, "Did you see it last night?"

Amy looked dumbfounded for a moment and said, "D'uh! Best episode of 'Voyager' I've seen in a long time! Kim was so good in it, and the way Tuvok helped him figure out what was going on. It was brilliant."

Celia smiled as she said, "So true about Kim! He is such an underrated Character on that show. I think they need to cut back on Paris. He's okay but I don't see how they can really develop his character much more."

Amy walked back over to her desk and grabbed a coffee as she began to sip on it. Amy asked, "What do you think of the rumors that their getting ready to make a Borg character a crew member?"

Celia shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I don't know. It's a rumor I'll believe it when I see it, but it does raise some interesting possibilities. Anyway..." Celia looked at her watch and said, "Guess it's time to go earn my check." She turned back to Amy and asked, "My place, Friday night Next Gen Season three marathon?"

Amy replied, "I'll bring the Salsa if you make those margaritas again."

Celia smiled and said, "Done. In that case you might want to bring your PJs with you."

Amy winked and smiled as Celia returned the wink. She wheeled herself out of Amy's office and over to her office. Just then her phone rang and she answered, "Carter."

She heard Mercer reply, "Good morning Dr. Carter. Need you down in the lab to meet up with one of our agents named Robert Earle. Give him an update on the Folley case."

Celia replied, "On my way." Celia was starting to gain her focus on her job and go into what people called 'Celia Mode.' Where she became all business and almost rude with her straight forwardness.

Celia arrived in the lab and said, "Agent Earle, Dr. Carter you can call me Celia if you want, but if you call me 'The Girl Genius' at any point I will not be pleased." She wheeled over to Earle and said, "So far it looks like a straightforward gang shooting. A gang banger on the wrong side of someone else's turf. He was clean and sober early indications are he had sexual intercourse within an hour of being shot." She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Romeo and Juliet maybe. The only things I know for sure he had been dead for over an hour before we got the call and that the first shot wasn't the kill shot. Other than that we're still working on the body."

California Love -- An L.A. 90's Crime RP

March 18, 1997

Celia parked her van in a handicapped space in the parking garage next to the FBI building in downtown Los Angeles. She was wearing her black blazer with a sapphire blue blouse and her sandy brown hair was pulled back into a pony tail. She enjoyed the last few notes of Bruce Springsteen’s “Brilliant Disguise” as she slowly closed her eyes and did a slow nod with the rhythm of the drum beat. Celia opened her eyes and said, “Ahh, musical nirvana. Maybe one day he and the E Street Band will get back together.” Celia shook her head and put her work bag in her lap and activated the opening process. She wheeled her chair into the lift and lowered it. As the lift lowered her chair her cell phone rang and Celia pulled out her phone. She kind of liked the flip phone action because it made her feel like it was something out of “Star Trek” Unbeknownst to the rest of the world Celia was a huge “Star Trek” fan. Although she wasn’t sure how she felt about “Deep Space Nine” or the new one called “Voyager.”

Flipping the phone open she said, “Dr. Carter.”

A voice on the other end said, “Dr. Carter this is Eddie and I thought I would let you know that the DNA test from the Henderson case finished up late last night.”

Celia slightly twisted her upper body as she pressed a button along the side of the lift which gave her chair a gentle push out off of the lift. Once her chair was clear the lift began to fold up and Celia closed the door and locked it. She said, “It’s a match for the husband isn’t it.”

As she began to wheel away from the van Eddie replied, “98% match and we got more than half the markers we need.”

Celia smiled and said, “Great! Get the report started Eddie I’ll get the D-A on the phone I’m guessing we’re in court sometime next week. Do you want this one?”

Eddie replied, “Really? Dr. Carter, I don’t know what to say. This is gonna be my first time in court”

Celia said, “You might as well bust your court cherry on this one. You were the one you pushed for the DNA testing of the sock drawer.”

He said, “Wow, umm yeah okay sure yeah. I just hope I don’t let you down.”

Celia began to wheel herself along the sidewalk as she said, “Don’t worry Eddie I’ll help prep you just tell the truth and give direct answers. As it was said in ‘Philadelphia’ ‘talk to me like I’m a four-year-old.’ Same concept here kid. I’ll be in there in a couple of minutes.”

She closed her phone as she pressed the handicap door button and wheeled herself into the building. Celia pulled out her badge and flashed it to the on-duty security guard. He looked at the badge and said, “Good morning Dr. Carter.” Celia put her badge away and said, “Hey Jack, how’s the family?” Jack replied, “Great Dr. Carter.”

Celia gave a wink and a smile as she wheeled her way to an opened elevator. As she approached the elevator several people moved to make room for her. Celia kept her composure and said, “I’ll get the next one.” Celia wheeled back as the doors closed. For the most part Celia had made peace with her paralysis, but there were moments like that where she felt like people were willing to help more out of pity than common courtesy. It made her feel like a freak or less than what she was. Celia closed her eyes for a brief moment and everything that happened on that night 4 years ago flooded back in the blink of an eye.

The doors opened up for another elevator and Celia quickly opened her eyes. As she wheeled herself into the elevator. Celia pressed the button for the 5th floor and waited patiently as other people began to board.

Celia Carter

Name: Dr. Celia Carter

Age: 30

Occupation/Affiliation: Forensics Scientist with the F-B-I office in Los Angeles.

Physical Description: Celia has sandy brown hair with green eyes. She weighs approximately 125 lbs. her height doesn’t matter much because she is confined to a wheel chair.

History: Celia is very self-confident in her abilities but doesn’t brag about them. She would prefer to observe and analyze before making any deductions. However, underneath that quiet exterior and smiling façade is a young woman who firmly believes that she is the smartest person in the room. Celia usually has a smile on her face and is willing to do whatever it takes to help solve the case. Once the case is solved Celia loves to let her hair down and live it up, but when she is on a case Celia is ALL business.

Celia was a “unique” child born to a father who was banker and a mother who was the manager of a local theater troop. Celia’s uniqueness stemmed from the fact that she was basically one of those child geniuses that everyone talks about with an unreal drive to know why things work they do they or why do things happen the way they do. Whether it was a lab top, studying the human body, how a car works, it didn't matter Celia had to know.

She graduated from high school at the age of 15 and UCLA at 19. By the time she was 23 Celia had already earned her PHD human anatomy. All of this training and intelligence did not mean that Celia was an all work no play type of girl. She was a hit on the campus party scene, because she used her chemistry knowledge to help “liven” up several parties in college. All her concoctions were perfectly legal as well and earned her the nickname “The Wizard.”

Celia’s intelligence caught the attention of the F-B-I and they brought her on to the crime lab where she excelled quickly. Her abilities though had a habit of making her arrogant, but one night all that changed in 1992. While she was working a case involving a bomber Celia was caught in a blast at the bomber’s apartment when they thought the scene was cleared. The explosion left her paralyzed from the waist down. It had a very humbling effect on Celia and made her much more pleasant to deal with, but there her times she does get somewhat frustrated by her current circumstances.

Emjoy!

SOL CITY - Modern Slice of Life - Chapter 2 - Completed & archived. 2/2

Location: 92.9 The Bull Studios

Caroline Dawson

Caroline leaned back in the office chair as she began to lightly spin and look up at the ceiling. She let out a sizable exhale as she said, “Okay Caroline, just remember this is for the good of the station.” Caroline stopped spinning in her chair and closed her eyes as she once again said, “Good of the station” three more times. Caroline then opened her eyes and let out an exhale as she said, “Yeah and if I keep repeating that over and over, I just might believe it.” Caroline shook her head and said, “I can’t do it.” She pulled out her cell phone and pressed the screen twice. Brushing back her red hair Caroline put the phone to her ear and waited.

When she heard a voice on the other end say, “Hey Caroline” she replied, “Hey Bob-O I think you know why I’m calling.” Caroline was talking to her Program Director Bob O’Connor who said, “Yeah I do and yes you have to do it Caroline. They are paying us a boatload of cash and they paid extra to get you to do it on-air.” Caroline replied, “Come on Bob-O this. This is just wrong it doesn’t work for us at all.” Caroline shook her head and said, “It feels wrong on so many levels.” Bob replied, “Look Caroline it’s only once a shift for a month. You can do this besides if anyone can make this work it’s you.” There was a pause for a moment and Bob said, “Look take care of this for me and I will put in a good word with Mrs. Popkin about you getting your two weeks off for Memorial Day.” Vacation time at the station during the holidays was more precious than gold for the on-air staff. Caroline had put in for the time in January and there was still no promise that she was getting the time off. Caroline had promised her family that she would be home in time for her dad's birthday . It would be the first time she had seen any of them in over two years and Caroline missed them more than she would admit. She took a deep breath and replied, “Done but if I don’t get my two weeks Hell will hath no fury like a Caroline scorned.” Bob said, “Noted, good luck and talk to you later C-Daws.”

Hanging up her phone Caroline looked at the clock, and she could hear the notes of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” begin to fade out. Caroline said, “My family is so lucky that I love them.” Caroline sat up straight in the chair, and Caroline activated her mic and said, “Bon Jovi on the Bull with their 1988 hit 'Wanted Dead or Alive.' It’s a Tuesday night Sol City Caroline Macmillan with you and speaking of being dead if you have thought about your death or a loved one’s death you need to think about the Funeral.” Caroline then read the copy for a “Ferryman’s Fine Funeral Home” and as she read it Caroline could feel her skin crawl.

Once she finished it Caroline touched the screen twice as The Police’s hit “Every breath you take” started to fill the air. Caroline closed her mic and shuddered as she said with her eyes closed, “I love my family, I love my family, I love my family.” Her phone rang, and Caroline saw that Bob-O was calling. Caroline answered, “Please tell me that didn’t sound as revulsive to you as it did to me.” Bob replied, “No it was worse. You win I'll admit it you were right I was wrong the spot doesn’t work for us at all. I’ll talk to the sales department tomorrow about cancelling the contract.” Caroline smiled as she said, “Thanks Bob-O, does this mean you’re not going to talk to Mrs. Popkin about my vacation time.” Caroline could almost hear Bob smile as he replied, “Pack your bags C-Daws you’re going home. I will move Heaven and Earth for you on this one you have my word on it.” Caroline said, “Thanks Bob-O.” Bob replied, “You got it kid have a good rest of your shift.”

Caroline hung up as she stood up and began to dance around the studio saying in a loud sing-song voice over and over, “I’m going home!”

Age: 30

Appearance:

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 110

Likes: Being with her friends, Classic Rock, Sci-Fi, movies, “The Daily Show”, the music of Bruce Springsteen, Murder Mysteries, Sports, working out, and of course her job.

Zodiac Sign: Libra

Special Talent: Doing various voices and accents.

Profession: The 7PM-12AM DJ at 92.9 The Bull.

Bio:
Caroline was born to a working-class family in Pittsburgh, PA. Her dad (Nathan) was a construction worker and her mom (Kate) was an RN and grew up with 7 siblings (4 brothers and 3 sisters). Her love of Classic Rock was born at an early age because her parents listened to it constantly especially the music of Bruce Springsteen (they met at a Springsteen concert in 1977 on a blind date). While Caroline loved her family there was a drive for her to one day leave Pittsburgh and see what went on beyond the Steel City. This drive was further enhanced when her mom died of cancer during her 8th grade year. She realized that no one lived forever, and Caroline wanted to make the most of her life. However, with her family financial situation the chances of going to college were at best slim. While in High School Caroline tried out for the Cross-Country team and discovered that she had a real gift for long distance running. So much so that she was awarded a four-year scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh.

Caroline wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her life when she at the University. She bounced around from a couple of majors, but nothing seemed to click for her. Until one night in the middle of her sophomore year life changed forever. Caroline was up late working on a history paper and was listening to the radio station on Campus. She loved the way that the DJ made her feel relaxed and helped her with his music choices push through a paper that was proving to be a problem, and she called to thank the DJ. He noted that she had a great sounding voice and he was impressed with her music knowledge and invited her down to the station. Caroline was blown away by what she saw, and Caroline impressed the program director with how at ease she was having a mic in front of her but how quickly she caught on to technical aspects of the job. Caroline was hired to be the late-night weekend DJ and very quickly developed an almost cult following. She adopted the name “Caroline Macmillan” because the name “Macmillan” was her mom’s maiden name, so it is her tribute to her mom.

Caroline’s time at the University of Pittsburgh was just about done and trying to find a job in radio was proving to be difficult. She still had the hope of leaving Pittsburgh, but no one was returning her calls. Caroline was looking at the prospect of working at an all jazz station or an all-news/talk station, but then two months before graduation her roommate came through for her. She had an Uncle who lived in the Northwest and was good friends with a radio station owner in Sol City. Her roommate sent Caroline’s air check to her Uncle who sent it onto the station owner. He heard it and knew he had a star in the making. The only reason he didn’t call her sooner was because he didn’t have an opening for her. A shift working overnight opened up and he flew Caroline out for an interview. Her charming and friendly personality quickly won over many of the station staff and the owner. He offered her the time slot and with that Caroline’s adventure to the Northwest was underway.

Her roommate’s Uncle let Caroline stay with them until she had enough money to afford her own place, and eventually she did move into her own place. Caroline has been living The Light Lane area for the last six years. She loves the small shops and the cozy atmosphere. Caroline’s career is moving along very nicely. She is the number five rated DJ in the market and more than a couple of stations have been trying to contact Caroline to hire her away.

Personality:
Caroline comes across as very outgoing and friendly which she is for the most part. She enjoys being the one in a group setting to make a joke and keeping things light and easy. Caroline is very smart, and she uses her intelligence in her sarcasm (which she uses frequently). She driven to do the best that she can but not at the expense of hurting others. Much like her astrology sign Caroline likes things balanced.

For all her outgoing aspects Caroline does enjoy times of just being still and quiet. She still misses her mom and her family more than she will admit.
