Jules
On Repeat:
Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now
Jazmine Sullivan - Pick Up Your Feelings
Beyoncé - Freedom
Janelle Monaé - Americans
Megan Thee Stallion w/Beyoncé - Savage
Best hair, best squees.
We’re fucked.
Neighbor and Mad Scientist. Enough said.
Housemate and Shoulder to Cry On. Fast mind, sly sense of humor.
Neighbor and Resident Nerd. Succeeds at not being a Eurocentric know-it-all and saved my ass at least once, so we'll give him a pass for the occasional slip-up.
Housemate and Proprietor of Number 5 Oak. Generous and good-hearted but do not piss her off, otherwise you'll find yourself out on the street.
Grandmother and Matriarch. Raised me as her own child; I never knew she possessed power until I started to come into my own.
Little Brother. I said I'd always protect you. You probably don't know just what I'd do for you.
Grandfather. Hard-working, blue collar, devoted to family. My model of a man.
The Asshole Ex. Except you weren't always an asshole, even if it's easier to think of you that way now. Nine years is a long time.
Quinault Indian Nation - Jules is from the Quinault reservation just up the coast at Taholah. She grew up there, worked at a fish hatchery, and had summer gigs in the tourist industry. Did you come visit one summer? Maybe she was your sea kayaking guide or took you on a hiking tour.
Student - Jules is here to attend Bayside Community College. She's pursuing her AA in Forestry.
Eco-Warrior - it should be noted that Jules has very, very strong opinions on caring for the local ecosystems.
Salmon-Fanatic - It's a thing. She has a tattoo on her right shoulder of a salmon.
Marina - Jules is working a summer job as a kayaking instructor and tour guide.
Wavy dark hair frames a forthright, brown-eyed gaze. Left long, her hair comes several inches past her shoulders. Of average height, her frame's curvy, yet still athletic, and her olive skin points to a non-white heritage. She's pretty, though most often seen without make-up, and there's something bullish that comes through in that unwavering stare.
Her clothes tend to be worn, but functional. Nothing fancy, and if there's a nod towards fashion, it's usually of the low-end, cheap fabrics kind. Her jeans are a little ragged at the hems. Hiking boots or sturdy sandals are her preferred footwear. A new scar travels the inside of her right forearm, three parallel and relatively straight lines. Tank-tops show off a tattoo on her right shoulder, larger than a splayed palm: a salmon inked in black and red, drawn in the style of indigenous Pacific Northwest art.

The lobster fighting season begins! Bring your own combat crustacean to a shady warehouse on the docks. Or wander past with a beer to shake your head.

2022-03-26 - Open House Day at Addington House
[Addington House](https://gray-harbor.com/location/96). Once the actual residence of the Addington family, now part museum, part event location, part archive, and part active business. Open to the public by prior arrangement and through guided tours -- and today, as an Open House event; the tourist season is just around the corner and the year's new tour guides need a dress rehearsal (most of them are college students, it's not like they've been under fire like this before).%r%rIt's a good day to check things out and ask questions. You know, if you have reason to do something like that. For whatever reason.
