Ava Thompson/Relationships

## Romantic

07/05 - Ava and Marcus went on their first date. While there were moments that worried Ava a little, she got to know Marcus on a deeper level and found her attraction for him growing.
10/05 - Marcus took Ava on a helicopter ride, showing off his flying skills (despite the first helicopter crashing into a river). Marcus took them almost 8 miles into the air and told Ava to say she trusts him. While she was terrified, she put her full faith and life in his hands. He turned off the engine, they plummeted towards the ground and he recovered them just in time.
Ava passengered on a couple of races with Marcus and after he got angry and beat a local's car with a bat, then told her to stop when she tried to calm him down, she felt her jealousy surrounding his and Emmi's friendship brewing again. Marcus pushed her to talk to him about it and she explained how she'll never know what to say or do like Emmi does. Marcus reassured her that he's interested in her and that he'd reassure her as many times as he needs to. This meant a lot to Ava and brought her a lot more comfort around their growing connection.
As Ava and Marcus have gotten to know each other better and spend more time together, Ava's worries have begun to dissolve, hearing his words and seeing how he reacts to her. Ava showed him a song she wrote for him called "Finish Line", which got his seal of approval and made up for the poem she'd given him a little too early on. They continue to take things slow but exchange gifts and see each other regularly - Ava enjoys her independence but treasures the time she gets to spend with him, as she can shut the rest of the world out when they're together.

Ava began to question once again when Ava mentioned her interest in Redline, to which Marcus said if she joined them, they would never be a thing. Marcus didn't like that Ava changed her decision and shut down the option of Redline because of him, and this upset Ava because to her, choosing him was also choosing herself. Ava decided she would continue pursuing Yokai both for herself and to keep Marcus in her life. Following this, Ava got upset after asking Marcus what he thought of her outfit, to which he ummed and awwed. Ava decided she would change into something he liked and then got upset when he refused to comment at all, as she enjoyed when Marcus would choose her fits. This lead to her saying a quick good night to him and dipping so she wouldn't ruin the mood, but Marcus knew he'd hurt her and that she was lying when she said she was okay. They discussed it over text and Ava thanked him for putting up with her. In response, he texted her saying "I'm trying to put a ring on your finger dumbass", and explained why he didn't like some of her fits, because he didn't want anyone getting the same idea he did. Ava's feelings strengthened after this discussion and it only solidified in her mind the hope that they'd become long term partners.

03/06 - Marcus confronted Ava on things she'd said about him to others. Ava admitted she'd talked about him and disclosed private details she shouldn't have, begging him for a second chance and reassuring him she would do better. Marcus told her they were acquaintances and that his trust was broken, and if she could earn his trust back over however long it could take, good for her. Ava is hurt, but mostly angry at herself for her actions. Ava has sworn she will do what it takes to prove she is worth keeping and try to win him back, no matter how long it takes to earn back his trust.

19/06 - Ava has given up hope given the differences in their schedules and how all of the effort was expected to come from her. Ava messages him now and again, but it hurts her too much to see him.

Fixer and Ava fought several times after this. Their mutual friends and acquaintances became accustomed to their "on and off" dynamic, which changed day to day. After a period of confusion, Ava moved back into his apartment. They maintained the situationship until Ava was selling Ecstasy tickets and twerked in front of a customer to convince them to buy a VIP ticket. Fixer was unhappy with this and took her keys away, and they went through a period of separation.
Most recently, Fixer found out that Ava had been on a date with Chris Daniels, causing him to fight Chris and threaten to ocean dump Ava, claiming that while he friendzoned her, she couldn't do the same to him and had to love him. He later discovered Ava was getting to know Marcus Gatlin and became jealous, trying to get a +1 over Marcus and win Ava over.
After a series of unfortunate events and conversations, Ava and Fixer went for drinks at the casino. There they reminisced and agreed that the more they try to stay apart, the closer they're pushed together. Ava admitted that they will always be connected due to their history and emotional bond, but that they'd never work in a relationship. Ava still finds Fixer attractive, and worries about breaking his heart by pursuing Marcus, but knows that they would be a strong duo at MDMR and that their friendship matters more than a relationship. Ava considers Fixer a soulmate.
07/05 - Ava went on a date with Marcus. When Ava asked Fixer if there's anything she can do for him (referring to MDMR), he replied with "be single and emotionally unavailable until I'm ready". Ava admitted she was seeing Marcus and he kicked her out of his car, nearly hit her with it and left. Later in the day it was business as usual and they were okay, but Ava became very aware of Fixer's jealousy and that she might be hurting him by seeing Marcus.
As times changed within MDMR, as well as between Ava and Marcus, Ava found a deep friendship connection in Fixer. She no longer sees him as attractive and has no lingering feelings. As Ava progresses in the company, Ava has aligned better with Fixer's interests and feels they make a strong duo together. She hopes he will consider her for a true management role as she continues to work hard for the label.

## Friendly

09/05 - Roy found out that Fixer had ocean dumped her, and that Ava knew it had happened. Ava felt guilty but also aired her own issues with Roy. She feels frustrated with Roy because of how Kelly has to be involved in every situation. Roy expressed she doesn't ask Kelly to take the actions he does, and Ava understood this, but still worries about the wellbeing of MDMR with the current dynamics in the group.

May/23 - Cruizer offered a great deal of help and support for Ava hosting her album launch party at Ecstasy. After a battle of finding time to talk, Cruizer agreed to give MDMR the larger share of the profits, and went out of his way to arrange drinks and custom wristbands. While Ava was initially intimidated by him and afraid to talk business with confidence, she has started to feel a lot more comfortable around him.
When Cruizer and Eli "kidnapped" her wanting to use her as a bargaining chip, Ava admitted she was waiting on a ride from Marcus. Cruizer took on a fatherly tone and called Marcus to tell him about the kidnapping. Once Marcus arrived he asked what his intentions were with "his Ava". Cruizer mildly threatened Marcus' job and overall made sure Marcus would treat her well. After that, Ava sees Cruizer as a rolemodel and potentially even a fatherly type figure that she never had, hoping to be as good at business as he is one day.
Following Ava's album launch party in which Cruizer didn't wake up to support (though she also didn't ask him to be there) Ava lost a little respect for him. She has looked into other venues since.

Ava and Dick have become fast friends, going to performances together, attending events and messing around in the studio and the casino. Ava has so much respect for Dick and always enjoys hanging out with him. She has learned he's not a good shoulder to cry on though.

09/05 - MC Fixer convinced Jay and his boys to bring Ava on a heist with them. Jay called her checking in on how she was and offered for her to take part, to which she was hesitant and suspicious, but she said yes. Ava took on the heist with Jay, Blocc Boy, Max, Johnny from Mayhem and Sai from the Lost. Ava made new friends and had the best time, and Max even said he'd call her more often to hang out. This has left her confused on her feelings around Jay.
03/06 - Jay has proved himself to her through helping with her event, supporting her diss tracks and overall showing up in her life. While there's still history that never truly closed off for Ava, she considers Jay a distant friend, with the potential to get closer in the future.

Ava and STE have always had good banter at races but Ava wasn't sure if he liked her enough to put his neck out for her at races given what Marcus had told her in the past about him helping STE but not vice versa. When Ava was smoking in the first lap of a race, STE offered to help her once she finished the race. She wasn't sure she could make it, but with his encouragement she finished the other 2 laps despite smoking and having multiple units plus Air 1 on her. After her car got spiked, STE picked her up, and she eventually swapped into Tictac's car, who dropped her at a local car to lockpick it. Ava came back around to help STE in return by fuelling his car at UK oil, however the officers tackled and tased her and she couldn't get back in her car to flee so ended up arrested. STE had his brand new car impounded as a result and Ava felt guilty, but her respect grew for him from this interaction as she knew there was a genuine friendship and comradery building between them, even if Ava wasn't the greatest help when it came to cops.

## Dislikes

Cayde pursued Ava very briefly, taking her to Redline's private speakeasy to celebrate her new role as Vet Tech, before which he flirted with her heavily over text. Ava went along with this out of curiosity and after he got pulled away for a job, they rearranged their meet up for the next day. Ava woke up to come see him and he said he was busy with a meeting, then showed up to a race she signed up for. After the race he pulled her aside and told her he didn't want to lead her on, but that he had no interest in pursuing anything serious or otherwise. Ava felt messed around as it was and gave him a short answer, left him behind and deleted him from her phone.
