MistySue grabs her bag as she exits the car wiping her lips and straightening her hair. Giving a wave of thanks to the man who picked her up on the side of the highway as she hitchhiked anywhere but New Orleans, she looked around for a place to get a drink to wash her mouth out and hopefully a job.

The heat and humidity were debilitating, as she pounded the pavement in her flip flops. She should have worn better shoes. Finding herself in some dive called, Lou's, she found herself a whiskey, an application, and a job. She was familiar with joints like this, as well as towns like this too. Run down, off the grid... what she needed right now after scamming the owner of the previous bar she worked at for thousands. He caught wind and she took off like it.

She wasn't always like this, though. Once upon a time, she was a high school track star with scholarships lined up for big California schools until she got pregnant her senior year. Her ultra-conservative parents forced her to keep the pregnancy and drop out. Without revealing who the father was, she got her GED before the baby was born and was forced to give the little girl up for adoption. After that, she escaped her parents by catching a bus out of town from their little home in the Central Valley of CA. She drifted from town to town in her young adult years, stripping, bartending, doing... anything for money, even stealing it if she had to, and that brought her here.
