Timeline Assumptions

[snakechahmah]

Hola,

I'm moving Izzy's timeline up about three months so that I can combine the mixed past/present/future threads.  But I'm just going to hand-wave a few points/fillers that I don't think I need to write out fiction for or RP to bring things up to speed. 

1. Ezera's father did leave her an "inheritance", making her fairly wealthy thanks to his money, legit businesses and (personal) property, namely his townhouse in Manhattan and a mansion out on Long Island. The mansion stands vacate but she's moved into the townhouse, leaving her apartment to Stefi (if she wants it). However, the lawyer that informed and carried out these matters didn't know anything about her father's (criminal) business holdings in the entertainment industry. She feels like shit moving into the townhouse but it helps her "cover".
2. If you're a friend that's not involved in all this organized crime drama, she likely will start/has started pushing you away. Especially if you've started to ask questions. Teeeeension. 
3. She's stopped dancing at her club. She's stopped dancing/performing publicly, period. (Gasp, what?! Not good fo' sure.) Image, people. Mobsters don't gotta dance dey make money move...;) She's not managing her club either, she's left that to Cassandra (if that's alright, C! Cassie's already managing a lot of it but this would be an official handover.) However, she still owns the club.
4. She's been seemingly MIA for three months, having dropped off the face of the earth to prepare for her role. But when she surfaces it's like her name is everywhere in certain social circles and she's gaining some popularity like K. Kardashian--you know, no one knows what the hell she's famous for, really, or why she's so popular but she is. (Iz probably hired the same marketing and image consultants, ha.) She's seen at galas, clubs, charitable events, business functions, but there are also soft rumors of criminal family associations (which only feeds the hype). The criminal underworld hears other things too, less charitable, stemming from previous RP'ed events.

And that's where she's at--the tip of the iceberg ready to be the official figurehead/mascot for a larger team of peeps just beneath the surface, helping to bring down the fort. (The road to hell is paved with good intentions.)

The short end of it...

Oh, by the way, I don't think it needs to be said but, you know you're totally welcome to hop in on any of these threads, right? That should be a given but just in case. We adore you and yours so we're super happy to have you involved.

[onthe_threshold]

Oh, yay! I was totally out of it last week cos of some health stuff (nothing serious, turns out) but I am more than happy to have Matt mess shit up now.

[snakechahmah]

Ooooooh, so glad that it's not serious and I hope that you're feeling better now.

I'm a bit slow this week as I prep for an interview but I'll post things on Thurs or Fri.

[snakechahmah]

Psssst, just wanted to drop in to say that I haven't forgotten about posting a thread for us. It's been one thing after another--job interview, massive infection, work. But I am working on writing something! :)

[onthe_threshold]

Dude I feel you! I had a wicked chest infection until recently myself. So never any worries.

[snakechahmah]

Thanks for understanding! And I hope that nasty infection business is all over for you. Those things linger like whoa.

So...I did finish writing a post, probably for MA as it fits best there, do you want me to send it to you first so that you can see whether it works for you or adapt it? Or just post it and hope to hell it gives us something interesting to work through?

[onthe_threshold]

Right? It's my second this year. I hope you're feeling much better too!

Oh, just post it! I'm like Tim Gunn - just make it work. ;)

[snakechahmah]

Thankfully the antibiotics are working their magic!

So, totally wrote something TLDR. It's just in-community summary of what Izzy's dragged poor Matthew into...

I don't have super big plans for it that are set in stone, so feel free to twist the shit outta this in a way that makes it fun for you, ok?

But I was wondering...how much does Matthew like his current job?? *Just curious musings.*

[onthe_threshold]

Oh good!

Sweet!

He loathes it. XD

Cassie is cool with it, the club is her life. She’s also getting into her own brand of trouble but I’m way behind on her fics because I’ve been writing more backstory.

[snakechahmah]

Cool! And, obviously, you're more than welcome on these threads since Cassie has been/is involved because she's running the club and they've had to deal with stuff in the past. So, yep!

Very excited to read them when you do get to post. :)

[candysgirl]

Thanks! Hopefully I’ll catch up soon, I’m about two months behind.
