MYO-2671: Cicely
Cicely
Exhausted · Quiet · Smoker · Detailed
Cicely is fairly well known and popular among the patrons of the Wonderland Casino. He has a reputation for being a mysteriously silent poker dealer; only speaking when absolutely necessary. Despite his intense silence, poker players and other patrons seem to flock to his table to try and get a glimpse under his mysterious facade, or well.... to just get a glimpse of him, but no one has seen his walls come down. A mystery to the end, but that seems to be what the people like.
Of course, the reality is a bit different than what others might expect. Cicely has never been the particularly talkative type, and has little interest in most people, so he tries to keep communication to a minimum. It was just luck that his desire to keep chatter to a minimum and the patrons curiosity aligned to make his job easier on him.
Outside of the Wonderland Casino, Cicely is a fairly different man. Even though he puts up a cold exterior, he still cares deeply for those close to him and does his best to keep them safe, even if it's a pain in his ass sometimes. The casino is mostly a back up job he works at part time when he's not busy cleaning the wounds of rookies and picking up sensitive materials and information for his crime organization.

Relationships
Ever since the two became friends in their youth, they've been attatched at the hip and have had an unwavering loyalty to one another. Such is the reason Cicely is in his organization at all. He followed Goji without a second thought, if only to keep an eye on him and make sure he stays safe. Goji does not know this, and thinks he's in it cause he wants to be.
Although Goji's boisterous personality and brash way of handling most situations is a headache to Cicely more often than not, Cicely always take him in stride and fixes any messes Goji manages to create. Others say they compliment one another well and are a match made in heaven. But wait... are they? Actually no one has ever heard them confirm they're dating. They act so lovey dovey... but they're just as soon at each other's throats.
Cicely finds himself a kindred spirit in Milan. They became fast friends after he joined the organization, as they often took smoke breaks at about the same time. He found their half-hearted flirtations charming, but knew there was more behind their sweet words, a sadness he couldn't quite put his finger on. He's never brought it up, but he thinks its for the best. He's content with their companionship as is and knows they'll open up if they choose to.
Levi is both a pest and a nuisance in Cicely's eyes, and yet somehow he can't seem to find a way to really hate the guy, but man is he going to try. Cicely is often tasked with the pick-up and delivery of important documents for the organization, and as Levi is their primary informant, the two have become well acquainted, much to Cicely's dismay. Cicely is very much no-nonsense, and yet Levi seems to try and be as nonsensical as possibly anytime Cicely stops by.
Story
Youth
Cicely had never been particularly great at getting along with others, and that had been apparent since he was young. He much preferred his own company to that of his rowdy littermates. He found them to be a rather rough group of buns, and his smaller than normal stature compared to the rest of them did not bode well. He would often find himself a quiet corner to relax in by himself rather than particpate in the antics of the other young buns. Of course, the others began to notice that he'd often blow them off to go laze about by himself, and he became something of an outcast. Even if he did somehow find the motivation to go play with the rest of them, they slowly began turning him away more and more.
His status as an outcast eventually lead to him being bullied by the others, no longer content just shunning him from the group. He was, more often than not, unable to fight back. He got better at evading them and getting in some cheap shots, but nothing was enough to make them relent. The demon he was in the care of either never noticed, or never cared to step in. It seemed as though he was doomed to live out a terrible existence until he could finally get out of there.
A new bun was transferred into Cicely's litter, and it was rumored it was because he beat up some buns from his group, and well Cicely's group had a reputation for being more rambunctious than the rest. He felt it best to make sure to stay out of his way. However, it seemed like the other buns came to the same conclusion, and they steered clear of the new kid as well.
The new bun seemed to find his way into one of the spots Cicely considered his own. Cicely thought better of confronting this clearly dangerous individual and simply ran to one of his other hiding spots, but before he knew it, one by one each of the spots he used to get away from it all was found by this new bun. Eventually when he found this new bun in the only spot he had left, he finally decided to confront him. Just when he was about to tell off this kid in front of him, the new bun turns around, tears in his eyes, and every ounce of anger and frustration was washed away and all he saw was just another version of himself. A kid, afraid and alone, that everyone else has turned their back on. Instead of giving him a piece of his mind, he held out his hoof and introduced himself.
"I'm Cicely. Nice to meet you.. Uhhh... what's your name?"
"Goji."
They've been friends since. Neither of them ever got along with their other littermates, and the rest still considered the two outcasts, but Goji was plenty capable of handling the bullies and Cicely never had a shortage of ideas for how they could avoid the rest of them and enjoy each others company. Goji offered up plenty of ideas as well, even if they weren't always the most thought out, but Cicely went along with them anyways.
Entering Burrowgatory
As soon as Cicely had the opportunity to leave the demons' care, he did, and headed for Burrowgatory. Of course, he didn't go alone, he rarely ever was these days. He and Goji had plans to make it big and prove to themselves and everyone else they weren't outcasts. While Cicely was able to find work and housing realtively easily, unfortunately, Goji's reputation for violence somehow managed to sneak its way into his life in Burrowgatory as well. Cicely did what he could to provide for the both of them, but things weren't going to be easy. The two did whatever they could to make a couple carats, but it never seemed to be enough. Cicely never cared how much he had to struggle; he was just glad to have Goji by his side, yet one day he woke up only to find he wasn't in bed next to him... or anywhere in their apartment for that matter. Cicely spent days, weeks, months looking for him, but was never able to find him. A familiar feeling creeped into his being, loneliness.
