Moar CR

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Daisy's fifth. Phew. I'll try to keep this short. This is Georgi "Jimmy" Kozlek, Four of Clubs.

1) Thirty years old, has been on the Deck for six years. Originally from Bulgaria, but lived in Vienna for several years prior to coming here. Speaks many languages, mainly Bulgarian, English, German and Hungarian. He's six foot five, way up there on the Too Tall spectrum, and a congenital amputee; missing his left arm from just below the elbow. It doesn't affect his work overmuch. Which is this--

2) He runs a farm on the outskirts of Club lands. It's mainly poultry, some sheep, and of course them lovely vegetables and fruit and elderflowers. He likely press-gangs people (especially kiddos) into helping him out during heavy seasons. Lambing soon!

3) Generally speaking, a warm and jovial type, though farm life is an education in tough love. If the drama or workload of the castles ever gets too much, his farmhouse and barns are open for anyone to crash in. He's a good listener and good at keeping a cheerful face on even in times of dire non-cheer. Extremely hard-working and dedicated, and of course owns a buttload of animals. Dogs, cats, geese, you name it. Just don't get too attached to the livestock...

4) I'm thinking he had his heart broked a few years back. Any takers? Also, pre-Deck, he spent some time smuggling various Illegal Things across the border between Austria and Hungary. I'm not sure there's anyone relevant hanging around, but hey, you never know when it comes to past CR.

Lexa and Jimmy will eventually be buddies forever yes no. Also Piper. Also probably Blythe stops by starting sometime in the near future now that she's learning how to ride horses.

Um that's all, I think. :3

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Um oh I er er... is the right answer YES. Depending on how they get on, but Jimmy takes everyone under his wing ever. Always. Especially fierce little ball-buster types. They just need some hard work and tough love to be set to rights. :|

Piper sleeps in his barn, totes. And Blythe will be hijacked into helping with the lambing soon. Alsooo. I forgot to mention he also helps with the horses a lot.

Don't mind the Heart showing up to buy eggs and fresh meat and veggies occasionally.

Isn't Christopher also a Four? Do the Clubs have 6'5" Club Bookends? I am so amused by that.

I volunteer Katya. Slavs, possibly even acquainted from before. She's only been in the Deck for four/five years though. Yes/no? I know she speaks Hungarian. Can't remember the Bulgarian.

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

He won't mind at all. Stay for some rakia? Though he probably has a market in Town or something too.

Is he? And is he 6'5? XDDD What even. YES THEY DO. Clearly, Four of Clubs is the place all the gargantuas chill out.

They could well have. It was mainly weapons, I'm thinking, that he carted between Austria and Hungary-- but occasionally some of the other surrounding countries, Slovakia and Czech. If they've met before, however long ago, I'd think she'd recognise him. How distinctive he is is one of the reasons he's in the Deck in the first place.

[graceandwit.livejournal.com]

Acquainted if not friends? And, yay, someone to speak German with.

I'm sure she'll be popping up at his farmhouse at some point. Manual labour is good for the soul, yes?

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Manual labour is very very good for the soul. He approves of this. And she can totally help with the lambing later this month. No, most Clubs are so not getting a choice.

He'll also be glad to be able to slip into German with someone. I daresay it comes more naturally to him than English even after all this time.

[asbrightasday.livejournal.com]

Jeannie sometimes passes by to look at the animals/help with the animals/look at the veggies/help with the veggies?

Vince... might occasionally drop by to help as well. And by 'help' I mean 'hide from angry ex-gf'. Y/N?

[brightbutler.livejournal.com]

Yes! She seems like a gentle soul. She can pet his hundreds of cats and dogs and even befriend the territorial goose army that like to hang around his farmhouse. And the orchard is always lovely.

Haha, that works for me. Jimmy will do the world-class "Vince? Who's Vince? Have not seen him for months. :|" act.

[heartsthespades.livejournal.com]

He and Elisha have been in Deck similarly long - it'll be seven years for 'Lisha in May, and he used to only be the court artist, so Jimmy might have come across this strange paint-spattered man with a canvas and easel painting in the middle of his corn. :| The only language they have in common is English, alas, unless he speaks Russian.

I would volunteer Avery for heart-breaking 'cause she's good at that, but I see Katya has been volunteered. XD She probably helps out on the farm, though, and used to use him as a supplier for the Diamond kitchens.

Not likely to know my Spades or Jordan, I don't think.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Just bits and pieces of Russian, unfortunately. And Jimmy would be perfectly fine with Elisha hanging out painting his sheep (though mind the territorial goose army :|) but would have shanghai'd him into helping with something afterwards.

Jimmy clearly gets on with All The Cooks, because fresh produce is the best produce. He probably knows her parents quite well, actually. ORGANIC.

[ratherberiding.livejournal.com]

!!!--

...

...

...crap. :| Worst timing for a drop ever.

But he knows Frankie, I'm sure. And Dafydd will want to get to know him once he's head of the Club kitchens, for local produce.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

FOR SHAME! XD He can know her NPCly, in fact I'd be surprised if he didn't.

Jimmy is generally a known face even if he doesn't live in the castle or in Town. And I'm sure it would be a relief for Frankie to know someone who is healthy-- actually eats and sleeps, what. Drinks a fair bit too, but eh.

[hairicando.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he'll bump into bb!Club Noah some time soon. He does like to wander around the Castle. The fact that Beth here is so friendly to everyone means that she might know him. Plus, if he spends some of his time in Town he would have seen her there. Siobhan...well he's probably better off if he doesn't know her too well XD

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Jimmy lives in the fields outside of the castle, actually. But he has like a gazillion animals, so if bb!Club likes animals, come play with the dogs/cats/geese/chickens/sheep/everything ever. Same for Beth! And Siobhan. Jimmy will tough-love any rudeness out of her. :|

[schoollikenew.livejournal.com]

Christopher stares at the fellow fall Club. Stares. They probably know each other because Christopher has dragged kids out here before for projects and field trips to encourage students that it's okay to be a farmer. They can't always depend on Deck food. Friendly acquaintances?

Saaaandy buys so many things from Jimmie but never eats them. Mostly because she uses them for still life. And he may have run into her when she worked at the Hardware store when she first got to the deck so many years ago.

Meghana probably has dropped by, because she doesn't quite trust anyone with her cooking in the recent years. :| So she buys her own food, doesn't try to strike up conversation and just... she probably isn't all that fun for Jimmie. Or rather just a loyal customer who isn't friendly.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

That's good. Jimmy would be fine with kids being dragged around the farm-- more people to round up to help with lambing/apple picking/muck-spreading/what-have-you when the time comes. Lambing is, in his opinion, an ultimate learning experience. :|

Jimmy will cluck. Can't she paint them and then eat them? Eat them while she's painting them? Eat them and paint what's left? Silly girl, that's what food's for.

He doesn't mind folk that aren't fun overmuch. If she's dedicated to fresh farm produce, that's good enough in his book. The billion dogs and cats and possible alpacas will all try to be her friend. And the goose army will watch her haughtily, probably used to her at this point.

[ogygianspade.livejournal.com]

If he pops by Town much, he'll probably eventually run into Callie as she preps the house/moves in the kiddos. Rachel's knowledge of him will probs be a bit dubious, though.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

She'll soon be aware of him, I think, if she isn't already. :D Callisto could come pet his over nine thousand doggies that follow him into town or even come to the farm to befriend the lambs. Laaaambs.

[acethatmatters.livejournal.com]

I would be shocked if Elani didn't know him.

I really don't know about the others.

<3?

EDIT: I lie, I meant to add....if you haven't had any takers on the broken heart thing, I'd volunteer Diana for it.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

<3! Elani has absolutely come to play with the animals for the six years he's been here, despite Jimmy's "they're working animals, not pets" looks. And she can walk some of his billion dogs with hers if she wants. Jimmy trusts they get their exercise running around on fields.

As for the heartbreak, I think Katya has claimed it in the name of Ukraine.

[wilderhearts.livejournal.com]

Jake probably rides over every once in a while when he needs to get away from chores for a bit.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

This is good. ♥ Anyone is welcome at any time, pretty much, so long as they don't disturb the running of the farm. Extra so if they help out a little...

[ishineon.livejournal.com]

It suddenly occurs to me that Sydney would probably be coming out of lambhood by now. Huh.

But Leigh would (a) make it a point to avoid him and (b) mark him down as Easy To Recognise. Aheh.

[lowtohigh.livejournal.com]

Sydney would probably be coming out of lambhood


...but can Sydney just stay a lamb forever.

[lowtohigh.livejournal.com]

If Eileen and Evan don't know him. Then I don't even know what.

Also, smuggling various illegal things across borders for the past ~10 years isn't something Evan himself does, but it's something his associates off-Deck do... all the goddamn time. If that's relevant to your interests.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Clearly they do. Eileen is going to be helping with the lambing, right? Right. Good. He's a pro at shanghai-ing even bitty Aces for the season.

Well, he started about ten years ago and did for four years. Any of them work in/around the Balkans? Want them to have somehow known each other? Maybe it was how Jimmy found the Deck after getting caught out.

[awearytraveler.livejournal.com]

Andrea wasn't around at all for the last seven years so no contact with her at all. Which is a pity because LEE WILLIAMS. /grabby hands

Oh? What's this? Illegal smuggling between Austria and Hungary, you say? He might have met James when he was under an alias. How long did he do smuggling and at what age?

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

He was smuggling from 19 to 24, ending six years ago. Possibly yes no maybe?

[maskofhearts.livejournal.com]

Victor was a gun runner for the IRA pre-deck. And currently still...basically does smuggling. Only for the deck. It is his 'day' job as I like to call it. Um, otherwise- Maybe they run into each other while he is bugging Elisha.

Hadyn- Um, probably not likely to already know each other. Big deck is big + different suits.

Ceiro- Well, he's Ceiro. That's all.

[zhuludovi.livejournal.com]

Do his travels often/have they ever taken him to the Balkans? Jimmy could still have some contacts there. Might be fun to still have him involved in some of that stuff.

Somehow doubt they know each other too-- but they could always come visit the ostrich that's soon to land. :D
