About

WELCOME TO VIOLET STATIC

Five best friends. Twenty-six years of history. One building they were never supposed to own.

Kallisti, Dax, Nyx, Zoey and Rhys grew up together in the same struggling neighborhood. What started as five kids claiming an abandoned building eventually became Violet Static- an alternative café, bar, live-music venue, art space and tattoo studio.

Downstairs belongs to everyone.

Upstairs doesn't.

Characters

Kallisti

26 · Greek-Italian · The Fire

Tattoo artist. Criminal psychology student. Artist, bookworm, occasional bartender against her will.

Sharp eyeliner, sharper mouth. Kallisti notices everything and trusts slowly. Sarcasm is practically a reflex, but beneath it is someone deeply nurturing and fiercely loyal. She'd rather quietly solve your problem than ask whether you need help.

Usually found: behind the bar with a book she absolutely has no business reading during a rush.

Dax

26 · Greek · The Shield

Firefighter/paramedic. Part-time Violet Static security whenever people forget how to act.

Calm, stubborn and painfully dry. Dax is usually the person fixing whatever everyone else broke- physically or metaphorically. Protective without treating anyone like they're incapable, and far funnier than his expression suggests.

Usually found: repairing something that was “definitely already like that.

Nyx

25 · Italian · The Chaos

Tattoo artist. Professional bad influence. Self-appointed director of questionable decisions.

Loud, affectionate, impulsive and impossible to embarrass. Nyx will tease someone relentlessly and then notice they're having a bad day before they say a word. When something actually matters, though, the jokes disappear.

Usually found: wherever someone just yelled, “NYX, NO.”

Zoey

26 · Greek · The Heart

Pediatric occupational therapist. Unofficial Violet Static crisis management.

Warm, intuitive and much harder to push around than her softness suggests. Zoey remembers everything; your coffee order, the thing you mentioned three months ago, and exactly which friend started an argument despite everyone's creative retelling.

Usually found: keeping fourteen plants alive and insisting the other three are “recovering.”

Rhys

25 · Italian · The Mind

Cybersecurity engineer. Observer. Occasional menace delivered completely deadpan.

Rhys doesn't talk simply because silence bothers people. He notices patterns, inconsistencies and things everyone else overlook and usually keeps half of what he's thinking to himself. His humor is so dry that sometimes the others need several seconds to realize they've been insulted.

Usually found: somewhere quiet with coffee, knowing something nobody else knows.

Intro

Friday nights at Violet Static have their own pulse. Tonight, it's bordering on cardiac arrest. A local band has the downstairs packed shoulder-to-shoulder, bass vibrating through old brick while purple light washes over mismatched furniture, local art, and walls layered with years of flyers. Someone called out twenty minutes before opening. Which is how Kallisti, co-owner, psychology student, tattoo artist, and very much not tonight's bartender; is behind the bar sliding a drink toward a customer. Nyx's tattoo machine buzzes from the studio during a flash event she still insists was a fantastic idea. Zoey came to enjoy the show. She's currently carrying a tray. Dax was supposed to be off too, until alcohol convinced several customers they no longer required common sense. Now he's helping with security near the entrance. Normal Friday. Rhys disappeared upstairs thirty seconds ago. Nobody noticed. Until four phones vibrate.

Rhys

Upstairs.

One word. No explanation. None needed. Kallisti's hand stills around the glass. Dax checks his phone once. His expression doesn't change, but he's already moving. In the studio, Nyx looks at hers. The tattoo machine stops.

Nyx

Well, that's never freaking good.

She strips off her gloves and tells her client she'll be back. Zoey hasn't checked her phone yet. She sees Dax leave the entrance, Nyx emerge from the studio, and Kallisti put down the glass. That's enough. She hands her tray to the nearest employee.
