For those of you who don’t know, I work at an anarchist co-op coffee shop.

Apparently, all the Chicano/Cholo boys in my neighborhood have caught on the the fact that I sneak food and stuff to all the little punk kids and homeless kids at the coffee shop.

There are three in particular who call me Mom. Not Mami, not Ma, Mom. The rest refer to me as “Miss”.

They’ve decided to always have one of the three of them there with me on my night shifts. (Especially after they witnessed the last bad shift where I had to kick a bunch of tweakers out. Said tweakers lit my fucking bulletin board on fire.)

Tonight, one of the boys actually charged up a crackhead who wouldn’t get out when I told him to leave.

About an hour later, I was emptying bus tubs when that same lovely boy walked in and wetted a wash rag. I asked what he was doing and he told me not to worry. So, I went about my business, doing dishes, bussing the main dining tables, etc.

I’d left a broom in the smoking room and a fresh trash bag in the bathroom for once I was done with the dishes.

When I walked out, everything was spotless and the trash had been replaced. He’d wiped all my tables, swept, mopped, and emptied all the ash trays.

He’d also picked the lock on the bathroom so his friend could take out the trash for me. (Which I’m not sure whether I should scold him for. Haha)

They snuck around and did my closing shift duties to thank me for keeping them warm and fed.

I’m fucking crying.

One thing I’ve learned in life, if you act really self-assured and confident you can pretty much get away with anything.

[gh0stcity]

For example, I’ve watched someone walk on to a plane with no passport. Just walked right on.

[jennitheodd]

Once walked out of a dude’s house with a pair of his pants slung over my shoulder. Did all the usual eye-contact, saying-goodbye movements and noises, just… while stealing his pants. He did not notice.

I told my English teacher that she graded my final paper(I did not turn one in) and that she told me it was well written. She scrambled 3 days trying to find the nonexistent paper, then apologized to me for losing it and gave me a 96%. Confidence is key

Humans are like bees: if they sense you’re an intruder all hell will break loose, but if you get inside the hive they just assume you belong there. Be confident.

@unadulteratedcolordaze

He’d been making tracks on the way to a client’s house--he’d promised to fix their heater in exchange to have clothes mended, and to pick up old clothing for the younger orphans in his band--when something particularly bright and clean stood out among the dingy backdrop of Zaun grime, somewhere far off in the peripheral of his vision.

He stopped, toolbox sliding abruptly down the length of his bat, and hitting him square in the back of his shoulder, allowing a wrench to poke him in the back of his head. He hissed with a quiet grunt, but otherwise stopped and stood there, rubbing the back of his head with a wrinkled nose as he stared at this one pristine spot, trying to figure out what--rather, whom--it was.

Nobody he recognized.

“Great, now I’m gonna be late.” He muttered under his breath with a sigh, and pissed as he was, he couldn’t just leave someone alone out here.

Plus! If it was some lost Piltie stupid enough to think Zaun was some fun place to explore and play make-believe, he could at least make it worth his while.

“Hey, you!” He stood upright, bat hanging across his shoulders. “This ain’t any place for a mid-day stroll. Why don’t you run back home to mommy before the big bad chem-hound gets you?” He kicked a pebble towards her, minding his strength enough that it did nothing but come to a halt near her thigh.

“J’you get yourself lost or something?”

[eciled-moved]

@chronoshatter​ has an audience with the Grand General ( continued. )

“ I think we’ve bigger problems on our hands than your Z-Drive being messed with if a bunch of high ranking professionals get in your space, no? “

& she expects well of her generals, of course she does, but Ekko’s words cause an ivory brow to furrow as they begin their walk to the Bastion. Zaun and Noxus were always ‘hesitant’ allies - what Noxus lacked in firepower, Zaun supplied, provided Noxus would keep from trampling over as their Empire expanded. To bring one in a formal manner…

A hand finds his shoulder. She gives it a reassuring squeeze and tries to decide if that’s more for him, or herself.

“ They won’t touch it. They were not raised like animals…I expect them to behave. So much of this is not planned as it is - I imagine they will just be curious and ask many questions. “ 

Pause. Riven puts a finger on her chin as she glances skyward, lips curling into faint smirk. 

“ Then again…if they do touch it, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt for you to show them a lesson. “

[chronoshatter]

“Uh..sure.” He brushed that suggestion off his back without giving it much thought, and put even less stock in its credibility.

He might’ve missed what she meant, taking it as face value as he did, but then, he wasn’t about to go into meeting a bunch of Grade-A Assholes without triggering his Z-Drive and keeping it on standby, just in case. Besides, it all seemed like a far-off fairy tale to him, to be meeting people that held the title of General. To talk to people that he’d only ever read about, or watched kids play make believe with these kinds of lofty titles.

Besides, he’d seen enough of the world from the slums of Zaun to know how to handle just about anything.

He seems to ground himself and harden his resolve when the hand on his shoulder brought him out of his head, but he still raised his harms to fold behind his head. He still kept a loose swing in his step.

She was so..proper. So regal. So everything he’d seen in Piltover and the upper echelons of Zaun. She needed to lighten up, not take things so seriously.

“C’moooon, since when have Noxians ever behaved?” It slipped out so casually, with such ease of swagger. But then he cut his breath short and raised his brows, looking over to Riven beside him. He blanched for a second, and immediately stammered from all of his backpedaling.

“Ah--uh. S-Sorry! I--listen it just slipped out okay!? It’s a hard habit to break! I’m workin’ on it! I’ll be good for the big guys!” He huffed and folded his arms across his chest to pout, mostly for show, just to charm himself out of trouble, but he’d take the moment as it came.

“Uh..anyway, s-so.” He cleared his throat, kicking up his legs a bit with his step. “Yeah, I guess I can answer some of them, depends on what they are. Givin’ out trade secrets is as dangerous as lettin’ ‘em have the damn thing itself. But don’t you worry! They step outta line, I’ll knock’em back in place.

“Zaun streets don’t raise pushovers.” He swung to bump his side lightly against hers with a bright grin.

[chronoshatter]

" i cannot have you meet the other generals like this. " & she wets her thumb before pressing it to his edges, smoothing over any stray hairs. once they bend to her will and behave, she cups his face, turns his head left and right, then smiles warmly. " better. let's go. "

“What–wh–hey!!” He grunted and cocked his head back, nose wrinkling at the slobbery thumb being smeared all over his face.

And, as anyone would do, he struggled and tried to wriggle away from her reach, but this was Riven, and he knew the impossibility of such a feat.

So he just. Blew out a sigh and stood there, half sneering to hide the dumb grin that was fighting tooth and nail to break out across his face, complacent with her whims.

Really, he had to admit, it was cute and endearing, and everything he thought it would be: annoying, gross, but thoughtful and sweet. He was pretty sure his face was clean, but to be looked over and fussed over was attention that he’d not before known, and the moment she let him go, he had that lopsided, toothy grin sparkling in his eyes as he shook his head and undid her careful work.

“C’mon, it adds character! I’m pretty sure they’re gonna be too busy looking at my gadgets and dazzling smile to notice a few, well-placed stray hairs.”

He even smoothed his hand back over his mohawk, something she would never be able to tear him away from.

But then..the smile started to hollow out and falter with flighty uncertainty, bit by bit as he walked alongside her.

“You uh–you mean it when you said they aren’t gonna get to even touch my Z-Drive, right? You promise, still, right? And what about the other kids?”

‘ I’ve always loved the rain. ’

Ekko was actually sitting outside, in the rain. At first he’d ducked inside and immediately started trying to shake his clothes off, as if it was going to burn his skin somehow, but then–that never happened. So he just.

Went to stand in it.

He was standing just outside the restaurant, looking like an idiot with white hair caked to his face, clothes clinging to his body, standing there in this downpour.

Other people hurried past him with their coats or other items over their heads, trying to shield theirselves from the water and get to wherever it was they were going quickly, but they all had time to cast this boy the strangest stare as they passed. Ekko paid them no mind as he stood there, just letting the rain fall on his face with a silly grin.

He took a deep breath and stretched his arms out, and looked back at Illaoi after shaking his head like some stray mutt, flinging his mohawk around.

“I always hated the rain.”

His grin was loud, and he laughed through it.

“It always burns in Zaun.”

He looked down at his feet and kicked up a puddle of water, illiciting a squawk and a curse from a passer-by. They half-jogged away to avoid the splash when Ekko straight jumped in it.

He looked back at her again, smoothing the flattened mohawk out of his face with the same, dumb grin on his face.

“I’d say you got a good reason to like it out here. Smells like fish, tastes like the ocean. A guy could get used to this!” He half-laughed as he spoke, and kicked some of the puddle towards her.
