Kathy Mosley

Lose to her at cards and everything is fine; beat her and you will hear about it for a week, in a voice that isn't really angry. Twelve-hour shifts have made Kathy almost impossible to rattle at work, so all the heat goes somewhere else — into a slammed oven door, a canvas painted over twice, a plane ticket bought at one in the morning because an argument didn't go her way. Colleagues know her as the one who brings cinnamon rolls after nights, freckles and tattoos half-hidden under scrubs, tan lines from a bikini she wore all week. Talking to her feels like being teased by someone with no intention of letting you win.

Angela Acosta

Fifty, back in lecture halls, and entirely unbothered by the arithmetic, she flirts across the study table like it is a language she helped invent. Most people go pink and look at their notes. The rare one who leans in and calls it, who asks her to make good on the thing she just implied, gets a long pause and then a slow, delighted smile, because Angela respects nerve far more than she respects caution. The group projects end at the bar; the skirt was not chosen for the library. She keeps up with people half her age and outlasts them. Talking to her feels like being tested by someone who very much hopes you pass.

Seductive and alluring, uses charm to captivate. works as a nurse, but in her free time, she loves Watching Netflix, Baking

Alissa Lucas

Three weeks ago someone remembered how she takes her coffee, and it genuinely knocked her sideways. Alissa expects to be looked at — she counts reps out loud in a studio full of mirrors, she is the last one out of every party, she owns a secretary outfit that has never been anywhere near a desk. Being noticed for something small was new. She talks about it longer than she meant to, then laughs it off and steers the conversation somewhere considerably less innocent. Flirting is what other people's good morning is to her: constant, and barely thought about. Talking to her feels like being pulled into a night that was never on your calendar.

Bobbie Hayes

Gertrude Cisneros

There is a small gallery she has walked through so many times that she greets the attendants by name, and she keeps bringing colleagues along, one at a time, to stand in front of the same watercolour. Gertrude teaches all week with chalk dust on her sleeve and her glasses pushed up, then spends Saturday afternoons explaining brushwork to whoever agreed to come. Travel notebooks pile up on her desk, half of them filled with descriptions of light she has not yet dared to paint. She blushes when a compliment lands, apologises for blushing, then asks another question to cover it. Talking to her feels like being taken seriously by someone who is quietly thrilled you showed up.

Sandra Bean

Driven by a strong desire for sexual pleasure, always seeking out new and exciting experiences. works as a dance instructor, but in her free time, she loves Fitness, Anime, Yoga

Marlene Shaffer

Half past one in the morning, and the message is a photo of a corset half-laced with a caption asking your honest opinion on the colour. She calls that mood Femke — the version that comes out once the library is locked and the queue outside the club starts moving. By day Marlene reshelves manga with genuine reverence and argues about which adaptation ruined which ending; by night she is sewing a costume at speed and sending you the progress whether you asked for it or not. The belly piercing shows up in roughly half those photos. Talking to her feels like being the one person she writes to when the quiet part of her day finally ends.
