Bailey's Druggies~  Name: Eloisa "Ellie/Ella" Brennan
Age: Twenty-One
Gender: Female
Short Background: Ellie comes from a very broken household. Her father died when she was quite young, and her mother's new husband is a cruel drunk. He often hits both Ellie and her mother when he gets irritated, and does nothing but complain and yell. Her mother works for their entire apartment, and her step-father drinks himself to sleep on the couch all day. Ellie began taking drugs when she was sixteen. She got a hold of some from a friend, and realized it helped to stifle the misfortune of her home life. Her addiction got worse and worse as she got older, and now she will take anything she can find, just to hide away for a few hours. She finally went to rehab after a good friend begging her to do so, but upon meeting a few friends in the Hospital, the four of them in a state of withdrawal made a pact to break out and run away, free to live how they wanted. She often has night terrors about her step-father hitting her. In the dreams, it usually escalates to the point where he is about to kill her.
Likes:
- Stars
- Not being afraid
- Strawberries
Dislikes:
- Her Step-father
- People moving too quickly
- Bitter food  Name: Bo Elliot
Age: Twenty
Gender: Male
Short Background: Bo is your general stoner. He's never done anything more hardcore than pot, but he is very dedicated in his smoking. His home life was never too bad, just your average parents to a very average kid. He never got bad grades, and even played sports. However, his family is very very against drug use of any kind, and so when they found his collection of pipes and bongs stashed away in his room while he was out with friends one day, they promptly sent him off to rehab. They gave him no choice, despite his insisting that weed was not that bad, and giving full evidence that he was still a very capable and functioning adult. It was his idea to steal an old Volkswagen van they found after breaking out of the hospital. He is currently the group's designated driver, and has them parked somewhere in the nearby woods. He is also the group's designated cook, being a functioning stoner.

DT's Druggies Name: Stella Abbot
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Female
Short Background: Grew up in Liverpool, England (yes she does have an accent); moved to Colorado when she was twelve. She had lovely parents and a lovely brother, but they wouldn't describe Stella as being lovely. She was never one to follow the "norm," wanting to do nothing but what she had planned on her agenda. She doesn't tell people that she had a tragic backstory that led to the way she is now. She just says, "I am who I am because this is who I wanted to be." She started taking drugs in the eighth grade after she met a kid who was selling Xanax. Since then, it escalated into more serious things. By the time she was sixteen she had dropped out of high school, bought a ukulele, and decided to focus on her work: music and dealing. Her mother, being the kind woman she was, was cleaning Stella's room whilst she was away, finding her secret stash of whatever Stella had. One freak out and family intervention later, Stella was sent to rehab. But that didn't last long till she met a few friends and they busted out of the hospital.
Likes:
- Coffee
- LSD
- Her ukulele
Dislikes:
- Authority
- "Unchill" people
- Hot weather
Name: Wallace Burke
Age: Twenty One
Gender: Male
Short Background: At first, he was just a dorky kid that got made fun of because he read books for fun. He was an innocent child, shielded from the horrors of this cruel world thanks to his very Christian family. He wasn't sure if he really believed in God, but his parents did and they wanted him to be a carbon copy of them. They wanted him to have a good future with a nice wife and to provide them with beautiful grandkids. But that dream was shattered once he met the British exchange student Stella Abbot. Forced by his "friends" to go to a party during senior year, the introvert met a young sophomore named Stella. After a long talk about religion and what it meant to both of them, Stella gave him a weed brownie, and that's when it started. Soon after, she started sharing with him a plethora of the "treats" she "ate" on a daily basis. He decided during their drug testing that he liked shrooms the best. Long story short, mommy found a bag of pot and some LSD tabs in his nightstand drawer and shipped off to rehab with Stella he went.
Likes:
- Shrooms
- Reading
- Learning new things
Dislikes:
- His parents
- Crowds
- God

Bo Elliot Bo Elliot sat in the drivers seat of their vintage white van, otherwise known as a "hippie van", rolling slowly over roots and rock and earth of the woods of Colorado. They had stolen the van in the town that lay just outside of the hospital limits -- Bo's own idea -- and had already been running for a full day and night from the Hospital, but now Bo was simply looking for a good place to set up camp. Coming into a very small clearing, he put the vehicle into park and pushed open the door, hopping out into the clear, crisp forest. The air was pleasant, especially compared to that stuffy hospital. "Well, folks. This is it. Welcome to paradise!" He stated, shutting the door of the van and moving to open up the back doors. He hopped onto the edge kicking his feet for a moment before reaching into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulling out a bag of cookies. "I think this calls for a celebration." He stated pulling a few out and holding them out for the rest of the crew to take. "I've been saving 'em for a special occasion, and I'm pretty sure this qualifies." He said with a grin, taking a bite of one himself.

Stella ★ Abbot
Stella Abbot sat shotgun in the, what she calls, "borrowed" van that they had found after escaping the hospital. In her arms laid her ukulele, her right hand strumming the song "Hey Jude" while her left hand changed chords. Gently humming the song as they drove, she stopped once Bo decided their driving should come to a halt. Her blue hues followed the older male as he removed himself from his leather throne and threw himself into nature. With a smirk twitching on her chapped lips, she placed down her ukulele on her seat, joining her friends who opened the side door of the van. Placing her cute butt on the floor of the vehicle, she crisscrossed her legs listening to the male to the right of her preaching about being in paradise. "In Liverpool, I used to set dead grass on fire in the woods." Stella spurt randomly, voicing the spontaneous memory that had appeared in her brain. The female leaned against Wallace as she took the cookie from Bo, giggling a bit as she took a bite.

Wallace ☺ Burke
For most of the ride Wallace just sat in the back next to Ellie, staring out the window as the images of their surroundings blurred by whilst they drove. He may do drugs, but the whole stealing (borrowing according to Stella) a van and escaping a hospital was new and a little bit terrifying to him. He needed to process everything that his friends, he himself was getting into. The humming of Stella's angelic voice and the low strumming of her instrument did help calm him a bit though, and he thanks fate for his talented best friend. When the van came to a stop, all of Wallace's thoughts came rushing back to him. He watched as first Bo got out, followed by Stella, then Ellie opening the side door so they could sit and watch Bo praise being in "paradise," though Wallace would argue that they were in the middle of nowhere in Colorado. Facing the outside where the trees resided from the van, Wallace leaned into the feeling of Stella's head on his shoulder, his resting on top of hers. He hesitantly took the cookie from Bo, unsure if he could handle eating (even a simple cookie) with all the stress of running away. He wasn't entirely sure why it stressed him out, but it did. "Ah geez...I don't know if this is a good idea. Aren't we like criminals?" Wallace squeaked out, deciding to give his cookie to Stella.

Eloisa "Ellie" Brennan Ellie had sat quietly in the back of the van that they had stowed away in to escape the hospital. Wallace sat beside her, and was also relatively quiet for most of the trip. She was a bit concerned herself, about having suddenly made this decision to run. She had betrayed a friend, and there could be no going back now. The redhead just couldn't do it, it was too hard. She looked down at her hands in her lap, pulling at the edges of her shirt sleeves with her fingers just to be sure the leftover bruises on her arms were covered. Although the people in this van knew why she was the way she was -- she had been forced to talk about it in group therapy -- Ellie was still quite self-conscious about the abuse.
Suddenly, Bo stopped the vehicle, and Ellie glanced out the window at the surrounding woods. The space they were stuck in was small. What were they going to do? They didn't have a tent, or blankets, or even food. At some point they would have to make some kind of supply run or they would never be able to make it out here.... Bo hopped out of the van -- followed by Stella -- and came around to the back doors, popping them open to reveal Ellie and Wallace. She looked up as Bo sat down on the back edge of the van, and Wallace and Stella joined him, leaning against each other for comfort. Ellie moved a bit closer, but stayed within the truck, not coming any further out. A small smile played on the redhead's lips when Bo brought out the sack of cookies and she took hers without hesitation. Normally she liked to hide out on her own when she was using, but the cookies wouldn't be too bad. She raised an eyebrow as Wallace chose to hand his share over to Stella, a bit paranoid. "You really think they're going to waste any time and effort on us? Once they can't find us in the immediate area, they'll just stop looking. A couple of druggy kids aren't exactly going to make 'America's Most Wanted'. It's not like we're a danger to the general public." She said, trying to make him feel better about the whole thing, though she wasn't sure how she felt herself. However, this situation was still better than being stuck at home with her mother and step-father.

Bo Elliot Bo gave Wallace an incredulous look as he handed his cookie over to Stella. The jock-like male gave the slighter male and rough nudge on the arm with a smirk. "Come on, man, don't be a party pooper. We're free! Don't you understand that? We don't have to worry about anything anymore! No one telling us what we can and can't do, and no one yelling and overreacting... Lighten up a little!" He said playfully, finishing off the last of his cookie. Now all he had to do was wait for the effects to kick in. Bo dug into the bag again and pulled out a second cookie, trying again to offer one to Wallace. "C'mon Wallyyyyy~ You know you want one...." He said, teasing his friend and waving the cookie around in his face. Of course, if he really didn't want it, Bo would only eat the second one himself too. He had no problems with that.
Despite the goofing around, the crew had yet to figure out a survival plan for hiding out in a van in the woods. He would have to address the problem sooner or later, but for now, they would celebrate, and he planned to try to help his friends feel at ease. "Really though man, you'll feel better. Promise." Bo added, crossing his heart with the finger of his free hand.

Stella ★ Abbot
Stella gladly took the cookie Wallace didn't want, scarfing it down just as quickly as the first one. Her blue orbs stared intently at the woods in front and around them. It was quite calming, in her opinion, to be away from society, though she knew that at some point they would have to leave the comfort of the woods to go into town and do errands. As much as she would like to push those thoughts to the back of her mind, sooner or later they would have to address them and act like real people. Though she immediately went with the idea of leaving, even she was having her doubts about ditching the hospital with no plan of what they were going to do.
Listening to Bo and Ellie trying to comfort a paranoid Wallace, a smile tugged on her lips as she decided to retrieve her instrument. Quickly hopping off the edge of the van, she strode to the passenger seat, opening the car door and grabbing her ukulele. Quickly she returned to the spot next to Wallace, strumming a few random chords before playing his favorite, "La Vie En Rose." Her pale and long fingers gently strummed the rhythm as she softly sang the french version of the song. She wasn't good with words, so she decided to just soothe everyone's nerves with some gentle and calming music. Her eyes fluttered closed as she played, her body letting the effects of the edible take over.

Wallace ☺ Burke
The nervous male rubbed his hands together, trying to calm himself down. He fidgeted in his spot as he listened to the advice of Bo and Ellie, his arm a bit sore where Bo had "nudged" him. The guy was way stronger than he appeared. He didn't want to be a "party pooper" but he couldn't help it. His acute paranoia would never rest and being in a position like this it made his mind race with the worst possibilities it could think of. Glaring at Bo as he called him, "Wally" he softly took the other cookie, biting into it. "If I get killed, I will haunt you both." he warned them with a small smile as he continued to nom on his treat.
After that, they all sat in a bit of silence, until Stella removed herself from his side. He whined a bit, a slight frown taking over his features at the lack of her touch. His frown was gone though almost as quickly as it appeared when she returned to the spot next to him with her ukulele. He smiled softly as his ears tuned into his favorite song. He let out an inaudible sigh, a terrible thought coming to him. What if during their adventure he loses Stella? What if she gets caught by the cops and is thrown into jail? What if, what if, what if? Wallace closed his eyes, his fingers twitching as he tried to remove all the negative thoughts that were crowding his sense of reality. Finally not being able to take it anymore, he voiced one of them out. "How are we gonna live in the woods if all we have is Stella's ukulele and Bo's weed cookies? We have no money! No food! What are we gonna do?" Wallace exclaimed as he threw his head into his hands.

Eloisa "Ellie" Brennan Ellie finished off her cookie and leaned up against the inside wall of the van as Bo tried to help convince Wallace that everything would be fine, and Wallace stated that he would haunt them both if things went South. She rolled her eyes at him. However, she knew that some small part of her feared this whole "adventure" as well. Stella brought out her ukulele then and began to strum soothingly, trying to calm everyone down. Ellie knew the song as well, and so she joined in with her friend's singing -- until Wallace spoke up again. The question they had all been thinking, but were trying to be too optimistic to actually say aloud.
Ellie froze against the side of the van's inner wall and looked between the three, waiting for someone to answer. It was true that they would need more than what they had as far as food, and although the adrenaline from running away had suppressed Ellie's immediate need for stronger drugs, she knew the withdrawals would be coming on again fast. It was only a matter of time before she would lose it. She had already had a few meltdowns at the hospital, and it was during one of those episodes that she had agreed to run away with the others. "He's right.... We're going to have to figure something out..." She agreed quietly, her mood going downhill quick.

Bo Elliot Bo kept a grin on his face, relaxing to the sound of Stella's music. Until Wallace had to bring them right back down again. The male frowned for a moment, but then put on a thoughtful expression as he was left to ponder the question hanging over everyone. Being the lighthearted character that he was, Bo quickly turned things back around. Looking dead serious, he glanced over at Wallace. "I mean, we've already come this far as criminals. We could just rob a bank. We've already got the getaway van." He continued to look at his friend, waiting to see the other male's reaction before bursting into laughter himself.
