“Ah, it was just some scuffle,” he offered, not knowing how much he wanted to share. “But I’ve lost them, most likely.” Regan didn’t know how true that was, but he wasn’t about to find out either. By his own mental calculations, he was already lingering a bit too much for his own personal standards.
“No, I’m fine,” he said, even though he could feel the ache in his limbs. The adrenaline would wear off soon. “I got to go.” Regan didn’t leave too much room for the woman to say anything else to him. The longer he stayed, the more questions. And he was not in the mood to answer anything.
Shit, shit. Regan was not prepared for the insanity he had entered. All he wanted was a drink of water and maybe a scrap of bread - but he somehow got himself cornered. Was it a turf thing? He honestly didn't know - but he had no grip anywhere in sight. Sure, he was a decent climber - but he wasn't Spiderman. The back of a city building was more bare than usual. Not even a gutter line.
“Woah now, I don't-” words barely escaped him before Regan felt a force knock into his stomach. He could hear the sound of the day-old bread from the French Restaurant crinkle in its plastic packaging. For once, the food wasn't stolen - but it was given, which made the sound more depressing to Regan.
He was given one more blow in the abdomen before he managed to get himself together, as much as he could at least. Regan wasn't a fighter. He was always the flight type, but he couldn't do that. Not today at least. At least he knew how to hold his hand properly for a fist, but the mentality of a fighter wasn't there. A bystander would see a young man, attempting to hold himself together, while wolves were surrounding him.
Thankfully, the sound of passersby seemed to distract the group - allowing Regan to slither out. But he barely made it past the doorway of another building before a stampede was heard behind him. Shit he groaned, blood staining his tongue from a face hit.
He let out a grunt as the adrenaline was wearing off. When he was addressed, Regan was lucky that he wasn’t so on edge. But he was bummed he was caught. Granted, it was farmland – and only someone stupid like him would dare cross the threshold.
“Yeah...I’m fine…Is it? Well, I don’t feel anything yet.” Regan was sure he would feel it later, or sooner. Depending on how slow his body was going to slow down. “No idea. I just was trying to get away from a dangerous situation.”
Regan cursed under his breath as he heard the vocal scolding. He drew his hand back and peeked over the edge of the window. “So? Not like they won’t be missing any kind of food,” he hissed back. He was caught now and grabbed the piece of cake, shoving it into his mouth.
“Clearly, it isn’t a problem if you’re still around,” Regan scoffed - after swallowing the bite of cake. Dang, it was a top-notch piece of dessert. It was homemade. He was sure of it. While it wasn't anything like Sweet Magnolia's, it was still tasty.
His eyes caught the pile of mini pies and grabbed one. He was already caught, and the guy wasn't exactly calling him out or yelling at someone to get rid of him.
He managed to get to the barn, despite all the lights. If anything, the eeriness of the faux ghosts added to the atmosphere for keeping quiet. There was loud music coming from the barn, which helped mask the sound of his shoes squelching on the dewy grass. Regan had no idea what time it was, but the smell of fresh food made time go away for a split second.
There was a window where he was tall enough to investigate. Regan wiped away some of the fog from his breath and couldn’t believe his eyes. A line of crockpots filled with pot roast, soup, and queso. Regan could feel his mouth drool, as he pressed closer to the window. He was so enamored by it all, it took him a minute to hear voices rounding the corner.
Regan quickly ducked down and lay still until the voices trailed off. He needed that food and needed some now. There was another window closer to the food table, right above some bundt cakes and other sweet snacks. It wasn’t the meat, but it was better than a granola bar.
The young man crawled along the barn edge. He peaked and there wasn’t anyone that was near. With the lighting and the music, he would be hidden. He didn’t need to jostle anything, since there was an extension cord keeping the small panel open. What luck.
Regan gingerly reached his hand in – and he could feel the soft touch of a bundt cake on his fingertips. “C'mon….” he whispered to himself.
It was late now, and Regan was lost in the darkness. While he was able to find his way to the dairy farm, he had run from a different direction. It was pitch black as he was making his way through the various farmlands. He was hoping he wouldn’t trigger some alarm on someone’s land and get the dogs thrown at him.
Regan felt his stomach growl, tempted to grab one of the apples in his sack. But he didn’t, as the smell of rich food was wafting from a place that was surrounded by…lights? Regan had never seen a house decorated as heavily as this. It would make sneaking a bit harder, but the smell of roasted meat and fluffy mash was too tempting.
Shit. Shit. Regan began running, faster and faster. He had snagged some food but had managed to get himself between a weird turf war. Or whatever it was that had started some arguing. But he couldn’t help himself, with the leftover catered food. He stuffed his bag as full as he could, feet sloshing in whatever mud and puddles there were from left over rain.
Regan really didn’t know where he was going. He knew it was possibly a farm or something with the fencing and equipment. The adrenaline kept him from stopping, until the last fence to jump. He attempted to, but his foot caught and he found himself on hands and knees in a damp, muddy pasture. “Fuck me,” he groaned, as he stood up – feeling the light pain of impact snake to his elbows and ankles. The food was safe, which was the best thing. It was thrown away steak with potatoes. Even if it had gotten squashed, he’d still eat it.

the appearance
face claim• Gavin Casalegno
identifying features• Regan is a tall kid, standing at 6'-2". He has that nice Mediterranean olive skin tone, that makes his piercing eyes stand out even more. His eyes shift between a nice green or blue, depending on the lighting. Regan likes to think they're his best feature. A mop of curly, unmaintained hair sits as the cherry on top. Despite bathing in the creeks, lakes, and even fountains - Regan still reads a bit grimy. Mainly from his time climbing, crawling, and whatever needs to be done to get food.
the personality
likes • adrenaline rush, swimming, farms, cheese of all kinds, freshly picked fruit, dumpster diving dislikes • being caught, being caught in the rain, sitting still for too long strengths • climbing (developed a strong skill for parkour when in the city), theft (is often quite silent, but there are times he's noticed) weaknesses • charcuterie boards (often digs leftovers out from fancy restaurants or grocery stores), old shoes (can't run as fast), cows (finds them funny looking) dreams • to get his shit together, maybe get some culinary lessons fears • getting stuck where no one can find him, missing a ledge and falling overall personality • Regan is a thick-skinned young man, who has known nothing more than the streets. Always on the constant run, he doesn't know how to relax without wondering where his next meal will come from. He's extremely street smart but lacks in the book area - mainly from him avoiding education as long as he has.
He does his best to avoid trouble with any type of turf wars, leading him to the richer areas of town. Which ultimately led him to experience richer foods. Something that can be a bit of his downfall, especially - if a wedding or a big catering event is being cleaned up.
Regan does eventually want to actually get himself together but doesn't know where and how - due to his lack of being able to research anything. Technology is somewhat an alien concept, or knowing what is considered a safe place for his kind.
the history
father • unknown, future: -- -- --, 55 mother • unknown, future: -- -- --, 52 siblings • future: -- -- --, 17 future: -- -- --, 18 future: -- -- --, 20 important people • Rita Conti, Grandma - deceased hometown • Newcastle, UK overall history • Not much is known about Regan, other than that he was raised by his grandmother for a few years before she met her maker from a heart attack. Since then, Regan was placed around before he decided to sneak away at ten. He learned really quickly what the ins and outs of the streets were, from almost getting killed by two gang members, and the streetwalkers offering him something a ten-year-old shouldn’t be offered.
Regan has managed to keep away from the law, except when he was thirteen and was caught breaking into a butcher shop. He was thrown into the car system again, only for him to escape a year later. Regan often moved from city to city after that year in care. The streets of the city led him to know how to scale buildings and run across rooftops like some action movie figure. He didn’t even know the name of what he was doing until he met people who did it professionally. Since learning from those folks, Regan has made some gnarlier escapes.
He didn’t land in Willow Bridge City until a year ago when he was bored with what London offered him. But after almost getting caught up in another weird gang situation, he’s been trying out the Hickstead area. There are not too many places for him to hide as much as he wants, but he’s found this farm on the outskirts.
Regan learned it was a dairy farm, and his indulgence in high-end dairy products was filled. He began swiping expired produce from the bins, and petting the cows when he had the chance. There had been a few close calls, and he was almost caught – as he was lured in by the smell of smoked meats, pickles, and fruit.
Knowing full well, that he shouldn’t stay too long around the property, Regan still likes to visit as often as he can. Mainly for the cows, which have become one of his favorite animals. The only change he’s noticed in the past two months, which makes him wonder if he should move on – is there’s now a plate set out just for him.
