“Yeah, we talk about our exes and judge men. That’s the woman way,” she said with an emphatic nod, feeling like a true feminist.Or at least one of those could-go-either-way Sex and the City women at least. Alice’s next suggestion cracked her up, “Oh yeah that’s happening.” At least it would if she remembered later, which could also go either way. “Nein, ‘st Deutsch. You know what’s stupid though?” she asked, sitting up like she was about to deliver some great thruth about the universe. Maybe she was. “Haribo is German, but Kinder is Italian.”

A shrug at that, Alice hadn’t had her heart broken that many times. Usually the dumped party, but not in a very cinematic way, it was just the man in question couldn’t put up with one of her small but annoying flaws anymore. Not that she noticed. Her relationships didn’t evolve that much past “casual” most of the time. She blinked, really confused now. “Huh, I thought Kinder was Canadian.” Most illegal things were. “Are you still gonna review it then? Won’t they, uh, demonise your video if you show Kinder stuff in it?”

“Would you rather get stuck in a room with Jodi Arias or Narcy Novack?” @slchat​

[alice-miller]

“Oh, uh, Jodi, but only because I don’t know who the other is. And Jodi I only know because she was in that episode in Jersey Shore, remember? The one where Snooki’s searching for the beach? But to be honest if I could get stuck in a room with anyone I wanted it’d be Jason Momoa.”

Turn right and walk to the end of the strip mall, Sophie thought and quickly made a mental note with the directions. “I have this gift card…” the brunette began, shoving her hand into the back pocket of her jeans. “I was going to get my boyfriend tacos to last a week, so how about you tag along? We can get you more than just an al pastor. Desserts included. Maybe a soda?”  

Alice’s eyes welled at the gift card Sophie pulled up, like a rabbit out a hat. “What, really? I, uh, what time is it again?” Glancing down at the corner of the screen she felt herself smiling. “Dusk”, she called out, “I’m out!” And out she was, Dusk’s distracted “wait, what time is it?” the last thing she heard before pulling the door behind her, following Sophie into the outside world and to the end of the strip mall.

“No clue,” he said with a throwaway grin and shrug, not too pressed about the subject of whether his puns were the most original in the whole world or not. “Oh— well, there’s a label out here that had interest in us, a lot more than any back home ever did, and also I’ve just missed it here a whole lot so I thought, fuck it, why not, you know?” Unbeknownst to Jude, being a Sagittarius cemented him in the ‘restless as fuck’ category of people, so this too, contributed. 

“Do I have time? Sure I do. What’s that?” He eyed the jar. “I’m in the market to stock up too, soooo…impart all your cannaboid wisdom on me, o wise one.”

“Ohhh, like a big one?” She had found what she was looking for but his words stopped her on her tracks. “Cookies, but if you wanna get stuff for the house we can do like, a testing thing. But it’s better if you have time. And if you’re not driving, because we’re getting high high.” And with that she waved to her colleagues, call me if you need me, before picking up the cookie jar and nodding for Jude to follow her in the backroom. “We chill in there when it’s quiet. Dusk is like super nice, it’s all good.”

“Yeah, that’s not what strong, fiercely independent women do,” she said with an unflattering snort of laughter. Whatever, Alice had seen her at virtually every possible level of baked at that point, so nothing she ever did should come as a surprise anymore. “Oh yeah, and then I get to stuff my face… I’ll go full mukbang.” Definitely not a bad idea, not at all. “Maybe I can get some Italian candy, that’d be cool. And I’ll share it with you, obviously.”

“What about regular women?”, Alice suggested flippantly, not a hint of irony in her words. Hey, she was high too. “Sounds sexy. Are you gonna dress like Hatsumo Mickey for it? With the bunny ears and all?” A wide smile at Emilia’s promise of candy. “Sweet! Literally. Is Haribo italian? It sounds hella italian.”

Wait, was I not supposed to tell you Matty is a customer? Can you, um, can you take that bit out?

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? Pack a bowl, watch whatever video Millie makes for the day and snooze. Unless Zayn checks his DMs in time.

“Has anyone ever said that to you before? Tell me. You’re obligated to say,” he said with a laugh, leaning into the hug. He felt the other two employees’ eyes on him, probably wondering who the hell he was. “I moved to L.A.! Remember? Unless you mean here-here, specifically — I was in the neighborhood and I couldn’t just not come check this place out for myself, could I?”

“Said what? The tree thing? What do you think?” She blinked, confused. “What? No, no, I knew that, but why? New album? Sorry if you told me and I forgot.” A quick pause as she made up her mind, pulling out of the hug and moving towards the shelf. “Hey, do you have time?”, she asked over her shoulder, already reaching for the cookie jar.

“I feel like I can’t say dick without getting demonetized,.” she lamented, deep in contemplation as she grabbed her own handful of chips and attempted to slyly move the guac bowl slightly closer to herself and away from Alice’s reach. “But maybe I can just ask some really detailed specific questions without ever actually saying that I’m talking about a dick. Susan won’t see that one coming.”

“Hm. Right”, Alice conceded, watching the bowl sliding away from her and closer to Millie but refusing to register what was going on, deep in thought. “I mean you could do just one of these where you, like, just talk about your ex or something. But who wants to talk about their ex on V day?” And then it hit her just as she reached for the guacamole. “Candy review! You can do one of these chewy ones and like talk about, you know, like, Valentine candy and stuff.”

[emiliasmr]

@slchat​

“Okay, I know this is weird but bear with me,” she held up a finger as if to silence the other person, even if they weren’t speaking. No protests. “This is like, peak season for ‘girlfriend roleplay’ ASMR and that kind of thing, so… if I’m not getting naked, what do we feel like lonely people are gonna be into?”

[alice-miller]

“Bff chatting with you about your Valentine’s date?”, Alice offered while shoveling nachos in her mouth. “No, wait, bff chatting with you about your ex’s dick? I’ve done that naked.” 

[victoriadonahue]

As she scrolled through a gossip website on her phone, Angeline scoffed. She rarely read anything that was written about herself as she’d found it did damage to her self-esteem most of the time, but as soon as her friend sent her a link to yet another outrageous thing that was written about her, she just had to check it out.

Stifling a laugh, the actress shook her head. Didn’t these ‘writers’ have a life? It was rather depressing, really. “I can’t believe people actually buy into what tabloids write. Most of the time, it’s rubbish.” She ranted to whoever was sitting next to her. “As if I’d do any of the things they say I do.” — @slchat​.

[alice-miller]

“Oh, absolutely”, Alice Miller, the most gullible person in Silver Lake, nodded emphatically. She would believe anything about anyone as long as it was someone she could recognise and not one of the few people she was absolutely convinced could do no wrong, but in her defense her reaction to all tabloig gossip was a wide-eyed “oh wow, dang” before proceding to immediately forget everything about it. Safe to say the last time any kind of celeb news hit home with her was back when Proof died. Poor Proof. “What are they saying about you?”, she asked, only stopping to take in who she was talking to after she asked. And stopping dead on her tracks. 

“Oh my god, you’re Angeline Carter! I love you!”

[judenolans]

Jude strolled into Peachtree Dispensary for the first time, and the good smells hit him. He’d be a liar if he didn’t admit that the legalization of marijuana wasn’t a big drawing factor to moving to California, something he certainly wouldn’t miss about New York. Also the fact that the world’s best weed was indeed concentrated here, on this coast. And along with it, a friend he hadn’t seen in a while (at least 6 months by his count). 

“Well hey you,” he greeted Alice with a smile and grin. Two hipster-looking youths manned the counter next to her and a customer browsed, but other than that, the store was empty. “Long time no tree.” 

Well, if that doesn’t make the top 10 cheesiest Jude lines of all Jude lines. 

@alice-miller​

[alice-miller]

It was quiet today, surprisingly so for a Thursday afternoon and Alice was left alone with her thoughts which she had to ration wisely as she didn’t have that many. That meant dwelling on each and every one of them, and the latest was how cool it would be if they could get a jukebox for the shop. She was still scrolling through Craigslist when a familiar voice interrupted her big plans, never to be picked back up. ”Jude!”, she shrieked, making the old man Jenn and Carlos were trying to explain Cheese Quake to glare. She snorted at the pun. “Oh my God, never, ever say that again”, she giggled as she wrapped her arms around him. “Why are you here?”

[soniels]

“….—- I’m sorry but would you happen to know where Paco’s Tacos is located? My phone just died, so I can’t really google it.” ( @slchat​ )

[alice-miller]

“Huh? Oh, uh, yes, just turn to your right and walk to the end of the strip mall”, Alice offered, barely taking her eyes away from the screen where an old episode of the Boondocks had claimed her one brain cell for Woodcrest, ready to dive back in before she realised what the other was actually asking. “Wait, if you’re going down there can you get me an, uhhh- an al pastor? Gimme a sec, gotta get my wallet.”

[alice-miller]

[ ALICE MILLER. 27. FEMALE. SHE/HER ]. They’ve lived in Silver Lake for [ 27 YEARS ] and are originally from [ SILVER LAKE ]. They are a [ BUDTENDER AT PEACHTREE DISPENSARY] and in their downtime love [ WATCHING SPONGEBOB ] and [ GETTING LECTURES BY HER MOM ]. They look a lot like [ LILY JAMES ] and live on [ REDCLIFF STREET ].

Silver Lake born and raised so if your chara is also from these parts or has lived here for a while feel free to assume connections

her parents got divorced when Alice was like... 2. her dad is from Memphis, TN and went back there after the divorce. she doesn’t see him that often, and by “doesn’t see him often” I mean she can count in one hand the times they’ve been in the same room. they call each other from time to time though and get along quite alright.

Alice was raised by her mum, a journalist and marijuana advocate and activist. and alright, her mum has been doing this for literally decades, smokes tons of weed herself, used to dress in long paisley dresses before she reached her forties and entered her linen suit period... you get the gist. but then in terms of attitude she has the chill of a fed and the tenacity of an army general and has never been the kind of person to fry her brain on maryjane. she was invaluable in a movement that needed every bureaucrat it could get basically. she’s constantly nagging at Alice about her wasted potential and lack of ambition. the only time they can bond is when weed is involved, whether that be through smoking together, watching weed docus together, going to events or when Alice attempts to “help” her mum with her latest article. in a way Alice’s career is a way to try and win her mum’s approval but that would be a very hard feat even for sharp people, and Alice’s brain is made of cotton candy basically.

that said, Alice still lives with her mum and relies on her a lot. even her job at the dispensary she got not only because of her weed knowledge but also because Dusk Peachtree has been friends and comrades with her mum for all their lives basically.

that said if she’s good at one thing, it’s her job. the customers like her because she’s really chill and friendly and knows when to offer advice and when to shut up, she’s never snobby or patronising and her suggestions are usually spot on. and on quiet days she sits with them and plays scrabble and uno and psychoanalyses them instead of sitting behind the counter

so yeah that’s pretty much the basics. I have another list of bullet points with nonsense but I’m not gonna add it here and make this post look even scarier lmao

but yes if you wanna plot hit us up fam. or we will 👀

Valentine - Do you like pda?

Valentine - Do you like pda?

Not really but I’m not gonna like get all shady and annoying about it. We’ve all been there, you know? And if you’re at a concert or a festival or some shit it’s totally fair and you should be allowed to go wild. Once I saw these two kids, like fifteen or sixteen or whatever, making out at a Cocorosie concert while they were playing Werewolf and I started crying because it was so sweet. Was fucked up as shit that night though so that could be why. 

[melody-reed]

“Oh— sorry, I’m just here picking up someone. Totally don’t go here,” Mel said with a shake of her head at the teen girl. She realized a little too late that the sweetheart was trying to get her to sign up for volleyball tryouts. “Would if I could though, would if I could!” she smiled, the misunderstanding acknowledged on both sides as Melody watched the girl walk away.

“That has got to be the best compliment I’ve gotten all week,” she said, turning to the person standing next to her. “I pass for a high schooler, hell yeah.” 

[alice-miller]

"I know right?” Alice took the strawberry lollipop out of her mouth to say. She had watched the entire exchange, amused and somewhat jealous. Noone got her mixed up for a high schooler, ever. Well, people did in middle school. She was an early bloomer. Or rather, her breasts were. Her face aged averagely, her brain not at all. “You should totally drop that skincare routine, girl!”

“Northern Cali? I’ve never been to San Fran and all those places,” Jude said. “Though I’ve always wanted to.” Time permitting, he’d tour up there to one of these days. “Guitar, bass, drums, piano, a bit of banjo when the inspiration strikes, I’ve tried violin as a kid but I’m mostly shit at that…okay, I’ll stop now,” he said with a laugh. “Yeah I sing too. I used to do bass in our old band but I’m guitar and vocals in this one.” 

Her joke made him laugh. “If you were a journo, then I’d have to tell you to take me out to lunch for the trouble. At least,” he said. Was that his shitty way of hinting at something like a lunch date? Maybe.

“Wha- no, never mind, I got it all wrong.” Classic Alice. “I’ve been to San Fran like once when I was like nine. Would love to go back someday though. If you and Avery take the show on the road you should totally hire me to be your roadie.” Ok, that was kinda very impressive now. She attempted a whistle. “That’s a lot of practice! I could never!” She smiled a smile people fluent in smilish could easily figure out was the “I accidentally made a joke and someone laughed” smile, shaking her head. “If I were a journo I’d hella take you to lunch. To Nashville though, not here. There’s not that many fancy places to have a business lunch here.”
