Episode 1, Season 1

Madelyn walked out of her house with her backpack in hand, the sun shining on her fresh black eye given to her the day before for of course. Mouthing Off. She waved happily over to her friends parked outside her house. "Hey Maddy." JJ says while opening the door to the van for her. "Hey JJ, Hey guys. What's the plan for today then?" She asked the group. John B turned around to her. "Drinking." He smiled and turned back to focus on driving. Madelyn sat down and pulled out her packet of cigarettes, lighting one between her lips. "What's up with your face today?" Kie turned to her. Maddy exhaled and lifter her head, revealing it to everyone. "Mouthed off of course, didn't realise a kook could swing that hard." She laughed it off. "Big mouth." JJ laughed and sat beside her.

Start of episode one

John B: We're the Pogues, and our mission this summer is to have a good time, all the time.

John B stood on the roof balancing on one leg while holding a beer. "That's what, a three story fall to the deck? I give you about a one in three chance of survival." Pope said to him. "Hm. Should i do it?" John B licked his finger and tested the wind's sarcastically. Maddy and JJ watched from up on the scaffolding. "Yeah, jump. I'll shoot you on the way down." Pope held up a power tool pointing it at John B. "You'll shoot me?" John b asked. "Yep." Pope replied simply. John B held up finger guns at Pope. "Pow!" Kie walked in from the house. "They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers." She complained. "If only we were Kooks." Madelyn sighed and dangled my arms over the bar. "Of course. Why wouldn't they?" JJ added. He snuck his arm around Maddys waist and pulled her closer. "Watch it! Bros gonna make me drop me beer." maddy pushed him away. "I'll get you a new one big mouth." JJ looked at Madelyn. "I wish i was rich so i could have towel warmers." Maddy looked up at JJ. "I cant have cold towels." JJ replied. "Can you please not kill yourself?" Kie yelled up to John B . "Don't spill that beer. i'm not giving you another one." JJ warned John B. "I heard you say you'd give Maddy another one if she dropped hers. Of course you'd get your girlfriend another one." John B joked while still balancing. "I'm sorry? I'd rather die than be his girlfriend." Maddy laughed. "He literally has his arm around you." Pope let out laughter. All of a sudden John B tipped and he dropped his beer. "Whoa! Oh, shit." He groaned. "Of course you did like right when i told you." JJ complains. "You're too smart now John B." Maddy stood up on the scaffolding letting JJs arm fall. Pope looked around the corner then back at us. "Hey, uh, security's here. Let's wrap it up." He said hurriedly. "Boys are early today." John B remarked. "Humpty Dumpty, Big mouth, let's move." JJ hopped up with Madelyns help and hopped down from the scaffolding. "Gary, is that you?" JJ taunted the security. They all ran through the house, dodging security left and right. The security guard grabbed Maddys arm and she slapped it off. "Get the fuck off me perv!" She sprinted out the door. "Go pope, Go go go go!" Maddy and JJ yelled as they ran closer to the fence. Poor hopped the wall and JJ gave Madelyn a boost before jumping the fence after. They all jumped into the van  as Kie shut the door fast behind them. Maddy laughed loudly. "Aw the highlights off my day, being chased by some middle aged man." She fell back onto a blanket. "Check out Gary, gunnin' for a raise." John B joked. JJ opened the door and stuck his head out while holding a beer. "Come on, Gary!" He taunted the man. "Wait. Slow down." Madelyn siad to John B and crawled over to the door. "Run piggy piggy, run!" She yelled at the man inbetween laughs before throwing herself back onto the blanket and lighting a cigarette. All Maddys friends swear every time they look at her, she's smoking. Under any circumstances, any weather, any time. She's smoking. "You're so close! You can do it. There you go." JJ teased him with the beer before throwing it at Gary. "They don't pay you enough, bro." JJ finished up. "JJ, stop, stop." Kiara told him. "Oh, come on. That sort of initiative is just begging to be punished." He laughed. JJ fell back onto the blanket beside Maddy. "Are you going home tonight?" JJ asked the girl. "Nope, staying with John B again, you?" She took a drag. "Same. I bags the couch." JJ said. "Suck my dick, as if i'm letting you get the couch. It's my bed."

John B: The Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth. It's the sort of place where you either have two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island. All right. This is Figure Eight, the rich side of the island. Home of the kooks. So, guess where we don't live. And then, this is the south side or the cut. Home of the working class who make a living busing tables, washing yachts, running charters. The natural habitat of...drumroll, please...the Pogues. That's us. Pogues, pogies,the throwaway fish. Lowest members of the food chain. Okay. So, the downside of Pogue life is we're ignored and neglected. The upside of Pogue life? We're ignored and neglected, which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want.

That's JJ, my best friend since the third grade. He's about as local as they come. Latest in a long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta- holding salt lifters who made their living off the water. Best surfer i know. Just don't tell him i said that. Mild Kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat. He's had dibs on the same girl since sixth grade and has done nothing about getting with her.

And that's Kiara, or Kie, as we call her. When she's not saving turtles or listening to Marley or getting dolphin tatoos, she hangs out with us. I'm not really sure why, though. So, she's a rich kid, actually. Foot in both worlds. Her family owns The Wreck, this Outer Banks institution. Total cash cow with the tourists. You know i'm not really sure how her parents feel about us. I guess we all sorta have a thing for her.

Then we have Madelyn but we call her Maddy or 'Big mouth' which is a name she got for herself through no fault but her own. Maddy's constantly running her mouth off. If you say something disrespectful she's not gonna let it slide. Madelyn's raised from a tough household so she's learnt not too take shit. JJs has called dibs on her since sixth grade but done fuck all to actually achieve her. She might be as Pogue as Pogues come, she's got three jobs, dropped out of school and a hard home life. Cant out Pogue her.

And that's Pope, the brains of the operation...finalist for the Lucas T. Vanderhorst Merit Scholarship. and the smartest person i know. Little bit of a weirdo. His fathers this legendary character, Heyward. Anything you wanted on the island, Heyward could get for you. Now, i'm not sure Heyward knew what to make of his oddball son, but it didn't matter. He was a Pogue, just like the rest of us.

So that's my crew.
