CRAZY RICH ILLÉANS
Intermission II
The school bell of the Elizabeth Feller Preparatory Academy rings, and with that, crowds of the children of the Illéan elite stream onto the school yard, into the cafeteria and other classes. Even though its tuition matches an average man's yearly income for a trimester alone, EFPA and its partner, Bethany Schreave High School, had the same cliques as any other school. The crazy theatre kids, the nerds, the geeks, the sport fanatics and, of course, the popular rich kids. Among the one percent of the one percent of the one percent, that meant a lot—of pocket money.
These students, and some select few others, don't head out to the cafeteria or the school yard, don't stay inside or else. One is Perci Santos, who guides his friends and fellow students to an almost forgotten entrance to the roof of the gym. They discovered the door to be open not too long ago.
"Welcome, friends!" he greets the giggling primary school students. Some brought along chairs, stolen from the nearby classrooms. Food is shared around, and some children play music—different songs at once—from their music players and phones. Ten years old children in a play casino, what do you imagine? "Are you ready for yet another fun round of chance and fortune?"
In the EFPA Casino, as they have come to call it, Percival Santos managed to addict half of his class to gambling. Morally not acceptable, but he doesn't just get a thrill out of it, but also, more than often, a little extra pocket money. What kind of child is he not to accept that.
"What are we doing today?" Gemma Schreave asks. "Your marble game?"
Over the time the secret gambling ring has run, Perci has come to trust a few other children to help him run it. Gemma is one of them, and one of the most daring. She's always fun to watch lose.
They play lots of games. He has taught some kids Poker, too, but mostly the children are more interested in easy games. Uno, his marble game, flipping coins. Guessing cards. Anything like that. Now that he has his little crew, he can fun all of them.
"Later," he promises her. She's been after his special marbles for quite a while. He directs his helpers around, and the children spread out, and they form their circles. Some watch, some play. He doesn't mind either (they all eventually decide to play just once and then keep playing), as long as they all follow the one main rule: you don't talk about the rooftop casino.
(That being said, he never calls it gambling ring in front of them. That's what it is, though.)
"Perci! Let's flip a coin. If it's head, I win and get the marble. If you win, I'll pay you ten dollars," she suggests, jumping up. The bet catches some kids' attention.
"That's not worth it, Gemma. It's a one-of-a-kind one."
"Fifteen."
"No."
"Twenty."
Technically, Perci doesn't play, but he also has a coin with two tails. He could use that one, retain his coin, and while he feels a little guilty, twenty bucks is nothing for Gemma who probably spent hundreds of her pocket money on his gambling ring. He does feel a little bad for her, but Gemma always enjoys it—and she always comes back with more money.
"Deal."
They flip the coin, and unsurprisingly, Perci is twenty dollars richer. As usual, Gemma doesn't take the win easily and demands a rematch, which she loses. Perci vetoes any further games; the other kids will be bored elsewise. He's not going to keep running his little gambling ring without making sure that all his guests are satisfied.
(He learned at young age.)
They keep on playing; now, all kids and chose a side, bet a sum and if they're lucky, get the percentage back they paid. Not the best way for him to make money (there is a sum he takes in every time, a few dollars so they don't realise he always wins) but many are drawn to its simplicity. Perci is, when he's busy with talking to friends or talking someone into doing his homework.
This little casino on the rooftop goes on, every day. Entrance is on a strict base of being invited, given that they can't let any tattletales come in. One of these following days, before all children are even coming, before even he can welcome them all, Gemma speaks up.
"Perci!" Gemma calls out again. "Let's do the coin bet again. I'll win. I want the marble!"
"I'll take tails, you head."
She shakes her head. "I'll say it lands on its side! Neither. I say neither."
Perci deadpans. "That's impossible!"
"I bet on it!" she insists.
Perci shrugs; he's gonna win either way, and if Gemma insists so much… He throws the coin—and freezes. The rooftop is old, with many ripples, and the coin? The one with two tails guaranteeing Perci's win? It's stuck in one of them. Some students actually clap.
"Are you psychic or something?" he asks in disbelief.
Gemma puts out her hand, demanding the marble. Perci's too surprised to move. This is impossible! The chance for that to happen is zero! He is flabbergasted. Unable to move. Unable to gasp that this is possible! Him losing, in his own gambling ring? How could this ever happen?
With a grumble, he hands Gemma the marble. At least she's happy, but that doesn't give him back his marble. Gemma beams, and proudly shows off the marble to their friends.
"How'd you do it?" he asks.
"Luck!" she beams.
"You aren't Mister Luck."
"But apparently Fortuna's favourite."
With that and his priced marble, she heads off. He doesn't, per se, despise that fact or mind it—Gemma is one of his best friends and all—but he's distraught nonetheless! He should never lose! Not in his own game. She must have cheated, but that is the same. He has lost.
"I am getting revenge for this one," Perci joke-taunts. He crosses his arms and waves the other kids over. "Welcome, my good friends. I hope that fortune and luck has blessed you today; you will need it. Are you willing to play?"
Gemma grins, "And yet, you're not getting the marble back."
(That day, Perci learns not to underestimate probability.)

Estelle Mun (loveestelle): You shouldn't read fanfics about real-life people that aren't even a couple… They may not be the best people, but it's inappropriate.
Ginny Salvatici (VirginiaSalvatici): But some a really good. :(
Ginny Salvatici (VirginiaSalvatici): There was a really good one titled "Children of the Moon" and it portrayed you really well!

Ori (OriTheDoll): Sure. What's up?
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): So, Gemma got me this wall deco thing with sand from all kinds of beaches. It's fancy and actually thoughtful and all, but I can't help feel like it's her just showing off again.
Kenzie (choikenzie): She did mention her travels a bit a lot…
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): I really want to enjoy it and all, but I just can't help but think it's just her bragging again.
Ori (OriTheDoll): Yikes… This isn't really something you could talk about with her, would it?
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): No, I definitely can't. Any suggestions on what is the right thing to do?
Kenzie (choikenzie): Use it, or she can pretend to be the better person. Maybe, you could put it somewhere where you aren't a lot? I doubt Gemma will ever come to your flat. Maybe give it to your flat mates for the living space they occupy?
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): Hmmm I'll think about it.

Alessia de Rossi (fioraderossi): Maeve's idea is good. You should go with Simi, and I go with Juan. Simi speaks sign language, and I don't need to deal with the boys. Simi works as model from time to time, so I'm sure you'd have a common interest.
Gabby Santiago (GabbyCantHearYou): At this rate, that's the best idea. Juan is scaring everyone away… L
Alessia de Rossi (fioraderossi): Also, let's stay at the bar; I think we're causing Maeve problems with talking to the men here.
Gabby Santiago (GabbyCantHearYou): Yikes! Yes, let's do that. Poor girl ended up with Simi + Juan fending off any possible dude.
Alessia de Rossi (fioraderossi): She's talking to one now, though?
Gabby Santiago (GabbyCantHearYou): That's Angel Cassidy. He's the boyfriend of an influencer I know. They've got a kid.

Maevy Schreave: Do you happen to know what happened between Noah and Vienna?
Anna Lee: dont quote me but I'm pretty sure vienna wanted more than noah out of the relationship, which made noah realise that he didn't like her as much as before, and he broke off. Vienna accuses Kenzie Choi of being between them or something, and she cried for weeks. Also slept with Alex Langston. Seems to be customary. Then she disappeared to Vienna, the city, 'coincidentally over his birthday' to avoid him.
/ Private Messages with Noah Schreave (Noah the Surfer)
Perci (RoundTableRoulette): Hey, Noah? What's exactly up with Maeve and her not being added to the gc? I get that we never had real rules as to who gets added, but I've met her a few times. She doesn't seem that bad.
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): You haven't seen the whole deal. She can be nice and all, but believe me. She's more drama than Kenzie and Vienna together on a sinking ship. Besides that, it's our friend group. Have you ever even seen Gemma at the Goldfinger or the surf club?
Perci (RoundTableRoulette): How often do you see me at the beach? How often do you see Sia at either?
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): yeah, we don't, because she's pretty damn busy. Believe me. Gemma just means trouble.
Perci (RoundTableRoulette): Why exactly do you keep saying that?
Noah (NoahTheSurfer): think stereotypical rich brat. Always, when we were younger. Also, what she pulled at my birthday was just sad. We have enough drama already, and we don't need more.

CONTENT WARNING START: FETISHIZATION OF LGBT+
KaptnOfTheFleet: For the newcomers: Who is Who In The CRI Chat!
Hello everyone and welcome to my newest blog post!
With recent news and the whole thing about someone hacking Estelle, a bunch of people have found our little lovely fandom and I'm here to introduce you to who this is actually about. Just FYI, I'm a huuuuuge Vaelston fan and it's canon, don't listen to the haters, they're homophobic.
"CRI" is actually short for Crazy Rich Illéans which yes, is a reference to Crazy Rich Asians. You could argue that Illéa is closer to Asia than any other continent, but that's not what this is about. Yes, some people say pacific, but hey, I'm not a geography expert. It's somewhere on the left of the date line. The chat hasn't always been known as such, but this name has been the general name (besides 'the Chat' which sounds really ominous and I like to use it, or just 'the Group') for the whole thing. However, since some people say it's just a temporary meme (despite how long ago that movie came out), I'll use the Chat or the Group. Or well, I'll try.
The Chat consists of various rich people living in Illéa. That's an artificial island (actually islands, but everyone says island since the main island is what really makes Illéa) one degree below the equator, east of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Ish. Google it. It originated of a bunch of high school friends wanting to stay in contact but nowadays it includes more people, including people that aren't from said high school. I believe it has its origins at EFPA, Elizabeth Filler Preparatory Academy, which is THE primary school you want your kids to attend if you want to build up connections. And to succeed in Illéan society, you kinda need this. Standing out as the weird nerd kid isn't good, believe me.
Despite my obvious love for Vaelston, the first person to be mentioned here should be Noah Schreave. That guy's related to some huuuuuuuge real estate business here (and all over the world, my grandma in Britain dealt with them). Here is his Instagram, and he's actually a pretty chill, down-to-earth dude who runs the surf club monopoly at the biggest beach in town. He's friends with, like, everyone and looks awfully similar to a K-Pop idol, but his mum's Chinese while his dad's side has been in Illéa for ages. He's like friends with every single person on the planet and you can actually go and meet him at his surf club, but they do have a security guard because apparently someone noticed that Juan sometimes comes by and went crazy mad fangirl. Straight, until recently dated Vienna van Well. Peacekeeper.
Juan Santiago should tell everyone something; he's an a-list actor, academy award nominee at age 26 and Spanish-Illéan. He is part of the chat, even if you don't see him a lot around. I shouldn't have to say much more; if you really don't know who he is, remember that spy movie about birds not being real and pigeons spying on you? Yeah, that's him. Straight, had his girlfriends but doesn't show a lot about his social life. I've never been interested; he's just barely appeared in the background of my works. Click for his Instagram.
Gabby Santiago is Juan's younger sister. Besides being a deaf people rights' activist, she's also one of Illéa's top models (she regularly appears on Illéa's Next Top Model) and REALLY pretty. Rumour has it that she's going out with Simeon Adler, another model. More onto him in another post, because he's new and I don't know enough yet. Sorryyyyy. She's straight, I think? Click for her Instagram and website.
Miguel Santiago should also go onto the list, altho I'm not sure if he's actually part of the chat/active in it. He's Juan's older brother and a DJ, working at Vertigo (that's the biggest club here) and The Goldfinger (more onto that later, but it's a private club that's rumoured to be really cool). Does gigs elsewhere, but in my opinion the least successful out of the family. In a long term relationship with a fashion journalist, so he's never been interesting to me. Instagram.
Friends of Juan are Mariposa Cevallos and Angel Cassidy. Now, these two aren't that much of a standout, as Mariposa is a makeup artist (website, Instagram) who got into the group by being from an OK family (her dad's an opera singer, if you're into that) and probably by making hair stylist-like friendships. Angel Cassidy is a ballet dancer, definitely gay (his infamous relationship with Harry Guyer is FAKE I tell you!) and also a good friend, probably through his dad, Mister Luck. Instagram. Harry Guyer is a former ballet student-turned-model-and-influencer. Friends with Gabby & co. Really pretty, but her fans didn't take her relationship lightly (at first). Instagram.
Mariposa's your typical social butterfly. She does real good art, though, but she's still a more normal-person than most people are. There was a rumour she and Juan were dating, but I can assure you, it's false. They're just best friends. Angel Cassidy is your typical dad-type friend, and while yes, there was that whole huge scandal about him dating model and influencer Harry Guyer and them having a child together, but I think it's a ruse, because he's gay for Griff. The ballerina and the beast, amrite? Either way, his dad got super lucky, won the lottery and didn't go bankrupt but actually invested heaps and got even luckier, hence his nickname Mister Luck. As for Harry (it's a she, btw—I do often feel like the trans theory is true, though), again, her fans don't like Angel and the relationship. Most of them are guys, I guess. Straights, you know? I think there's more to their relationship, as I said. She's got a young boy.
Going on from there, other celebrities include YouTuber and social media influencer Poppy Astor. Her YouTube channel, GeekGirlTurnedGlam is a big one in lifestyle, fashion and what else. If you follow it, you'll need to deal with regular nerdy topics, but it's worth her other videos. I promise. She's really sweet and helpful, too, and I'm still not beyond thinking that Estelle Mun might be a side hustle. Not that she needs; she's build her brand and actually has released fashion and merchandise by now. Instagram, YouTube and website. Comes from a large old European family, her dad used to be CEO or something at a big social media. I forgot which, sorryyyy.
Poppy is friends with Percival "Perci" Santos, who's the head of Grail Casinos, a casino chain from all over the world. He's a little shy, but flirty and knows what he wants if he gets around to it. He started out at EFPA, but moved to Britain for a long while. While he says he is straight, I don't quite believe that, and I think that he might just be the real villain around. Instagram.
Perci has two sisters, but his oldest isn't in the club. His sister Marisol Santos is, though. She's twenty-five and a really cool girl. A little nerdy, but the cool type of nerd, you know? She's strong, has a great, charismatic personality and is fun to be around. Everyone loves her, but because everyone loves her so much, there are fights about being with her and so she stays away most of the time. Against what people claim, she has NOT been thrown out of the chat. Instagram.
Completing that friend group here would be Nathaniel "Nate" Montgomery-Romilly. Long name, short story. He's really picky on his privacy, but that guy's a fashion critic related to an international shipping ring. Kinda' withdrawn from all the society buzz, but occasionally around because he has a bunch of cool cousins. Tbh, I think he's hiding something because elsewise, his life'd be boring AF. His mum's on The Real Housewives of Illéa. Evanna Evangelina, in case you heard of her? Instagram.
Then there's what I dub the Beach Club, consisting of Noah and his two best friends (and kind of Vienna). One of them is Kenna "Kenzie" Choi. She's kinda shy and not around that much, but a hotel heiress (Choi Vacation International), descending from Korea. Like Noah (with whom some ship her, and I do get where you come from), she kinda looks like a K-pop idol. She always has new hair colours, a weird bike fetish but elsewise is pretty kind. Kinda has some depressed melancholy around her, like a sad, broken swan. Works in theatre, but nobody really knows where because that's commoner stuff. Has a boyfriend but he's dead. Instagram which is kinda dead but she occasionally updates.
Orianna Vasilieva is the daughter of a Russian business man (idk what he's doing, I don't even know the name) and a French socialite who descends from some French politician. She's not known for either though, but for her appearance. You know the human Barbie? That's her. She looks like one. That's where most about Noah/Kenzie/Ori comes from either way, since Noah and Kenzie don't really post a lot (about their private life, fish photos don't count, see my memes). She's an Instagram influencer (as in, she actually makes money from it!) and also loves the beach, so you can find her around Noah and Kenzie a lot. I think the bodyguard at the surf club was hired by her, cuz he's some scary Russian-type dude. I think she's often put up as a friend of Poppy or sometimes Rina (which often makes her like the evil right hand) because of her Instagram, but she's actually closer to Kenzie/Noah. Her sleepovers are LEGENDARY. Instagram.
Now, I've namedropped them and of course, they deserve the real spotlight: Vaelston, aka Alex Langston and Griff Vael.
Vienna van Well is a curious one, because she used to be part of the Beach Club, when she was Noah's girlfriend, but they broke up early November and I'm pretty sure she ran off to Europe to avoid them until fairly recently. Her dad's the prime minister, but she's from a pretty middle class family. Her dad runs on a liberal-conservative party. She's pretty and known for her natural beauty. Children's book author, philanthropist and socialite. Does stuff to support her dad's career, really. Really DOES NOT get along with Kenzie Choi, though (which is weird cuz she's Noah's BF) and I'm not sure if that's underlying sexual tension. Idc, I'm not into lesbian ships; the only thing I ever wrote involving them is Cruises and Cruising, although it's just minor (you can't write a fic set on a cruise ship without the vacation heiress, I guess). Instagram.
Alex Langston is the heir to the media empire LaTV (not L-A-T-TV, but La like the French thing, I think? Idk, it's never said here, it's just TV) and also co-owner of the Goldfinger. He's in a complicated relationship with Griff Vael including suppressed homosexuality, toxic girlfriends, parents and what not, and really deserves more than his "slut, sleeps with everyone, arrogant and dramatic" image. You all are MISUNDERSTANDING him. He's no running gag, he is a deep, hurt character! Instagram
Griff Vael is known to be the black sheep of technology leader Elysian Tech's family. I mean, yes, there have been some lawsuits regarding his violence and beating up people, but that's his family and anger relating to that. He's actually protective of the kind soul that Alex is. He's a good friend, but people are often frightened. Co-owner of the Goldfinger with Alex. Instagram
Marina "Rina" Klydeworth is the antithesis of Vaelston. Known to be the female Alex Langston/bisexual devil, as well as on of Worthy Productions' upcoming talents, she isn't the beautiful confident woman you want to admire. She's a devil. She's out there to use Alex and to destroy these two soulmate's relationship! Do not trust her! She is pure evil! Look at her, she's forcing Alex to cheat in their relationship, even if he's unhappy with both! (cheating + relationship) Instagram
Estelle Mun, whom we all love and adore, is a little bit of a special case. She wants no connection with the chat, but I think that is because she IS a member of the chat. He knows Alex and Griff, and only after giving rise to Vaelston (for which she keeps apologising to, even if she shouldn't!) she stopped denying talking about them at all. I don't know who she is (I have my eyes on Poppy, but then again, I don't see why she's so secretive around her identity), but she is one of them!
I will write a larger profile, including tips to write them etc. later. This is a general intro. :) Look forward to that!
Now, in case you didn't notice, the most active members of chat can kind of be split into friend groups. You have Juan/Mariposa/Angel whom I dub the 'performing arts buddies' (Mariposa is make-up support, you know?), Gabby and Harry (and maybe Simeon?) who are the models, Orianna/Kenzie/Noah who are the surf buddies, Perci/Nate/Poppy (who knows another from school), Griff/Alex/Rina (the couple and the villain) and so on. Not all members are SUPER active, but yeah.
So, this is the chat! I'll make a post about relationships, tropes and what not. SOMEDAY, I PROMISE I will do my master list; I'm on the final chapter of Cruises and Cruising right now and I SWEAR the final is gonna be breathtaking (in multiple senses of the word). FYI you newbies, Cruises and Cruising is a fic set on a holiday cruise, centring around Alex Langston who finally broke free of his terrifying ex-girlfriend Rina Klydeworth, and now finds sexual liberation in Griffin Vael, whose definition of 'cruising' isn't a yacht. [Vaelston, Vienzie, Langsworth].
I'll keep you guys updated as more happens! Look forward to my Rose Cotillion analysis coming up soon! (next one, I promise! There have been curious developments I need to add to it before I post it).
See you next time!
Merry Cap
