Well, it was that time of the week again. A time where he could have some time to himself and u n w i n d. Jerseyboy had brought a bottle of bourbon with him into the territory where he could drink and admire the sunset in peace. Everyone was either constantly badgering him about the dangers of drinking or asking him about what it was. He was convinced that everyone in that clan, save for a few, were total innocents. They may have drank for fun and social situations, yes, but he never saw anyone get drunk off of their asses or party like there was no tomorrow. It seemed that he was one of the only ones who engaged in some real fun around here and it got a little annoying when everyone was on his case about this stuff. It was his life, and everyone else obviously was irritated by him to some degree, so why did they care about what he did? They just needed to screw off. He had just gotten his booze back on track now that he had found the Ascendants' supply, and he was feeling the best that he had felt in weeks. No major conflicts, no drama, just relaxation.

The tuxedo tom chose a spot under a tree. Jerseyboy popped open the top on the bottle of bourbon and took a swig. In the distance was the horizon, where the setting sun could be seen sinking below the clouds. The sky was painted in orange, pink, and yellow; a picturesque sunset. It was too bad that he wasn't focusing on the actual scenery and instead focusing on guzzling this alcohol. With him was his cheesy-looking satchel, but hey, he needed it for a reason. How would he manage to drag his stuff all the way out here without it? Inside of it was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter which he had brought with him just in case he needed a smoke to go along with his drink. It was a goddamn miracle that the guy didn't have any major health issues as of yet, because at this rate, he was going to rot like a corpse in a matter of months.

If it was anything related to production, tidying up, and all that nonsense? It was likely that Jerseyboy would take no part in it. The only thing he genuinely gave a shit about was his personal appearance, and that was only when he wanted to care. Other than that, Jersey was a bit of a slob. Not that he gave a shit about what anybody else thought of it.

Speaking of which, the tuxedo cat had just taken a drag from his cigarette. Ashes dusted his white paws, and his green hues rested on the one who had asked if anyone here could sing. He nearly managed a snort at the question. As if he really had to ask if anyone here could sing. The answer was obviously yes and the best damn singer here was obviously him. Who else would it fucking be? Atticus? He thought not.

"That all depends." The New Jerseyan ashed his smoke into the ground and tilted his head, casually glancing at Orpheus.  "Why d’ya ask?” He didn’t want to sing some sort of sissy shit if that was what he wanted. He wouldn’t sing just anything, but most things he would. It often came as a shock to some that Jerseyboy had other hobbies than smoking and drinking and picking fights, and it was even more of a shock to when it turned out that his pipes weren’t all too bad.

Jerseyboy was not entirely sure why he adorned his plain, black bow tie on a daily basis. It wasn't like it held any special meaning to him, nor had anyone gifted it to him or anything. He had just found it one day, back when he had lived in the city, a special small-sized one for animals like him. He had tried it on and had dug the new look, so he hadn't stopped wearing it ever since. Some people tended to make him out as some sort of posh, fancy purebred that had come from a rich home, but that was far from the case. He wasn't wearing it to fool people into thinking he was a "trust fund baby". He just thought he looked like a handsome son of a bitch.

The tuxedo tom had come across Clarence sporting a tie of his own, and he managed a small sneer. "You tryin' t' steal my look?" Sometimes it was impossible to get a grip on Jerseyboy's sarcastic tone and tell it apart from a serious one. "It's crooked, pretty-boy." Teased the tom in passing. He would've adjusted it himself, but that required the effort he wasn't willing to put in. Besides, he was too short to reach.
