    “Sorry, I’ve been dealing with an issue with irrigation system in the greenhouse - it keeps failing.”

[clarastafford]

“That’s strange. Have you called a plumber?”

“How about vacationing? Checking out the sights… Showing the kiddies my old hangouts.“

“I’m not big on shared custody. But I won’t forbid him from seeing you or the others.“ He answered straight forwardly. 

“Nora needs to see your old hang outs?” Clara’s eyebrow arched. “You told anyone else? Or was it just my event you felt like dropping the bomb at?”

“Nice, Chris.” She took another long sip of her wine, before turning and pointing her finger at him, jokingly. “You keep your paws off my other cat, though.”

@ the ball

     “Everything in here is amazing. This was totally the right place to spend my birthday.”

[clarastafford]

“I’m glad to hear that. How old are you turning?”

    “I thought you would be inside reveling with everyone. You alright?”

“I’m fine, it’s just not the same high it used to give me.”

“Right. You’ve out done yourself.“ Nora smiled.

“Wouldn’t it be Chris and not Roy?“ She asked, not wanting to give out information Chris wasn’t ready to disclose.

“Thank you.”

“No. This is one hundred percent a Chris Beltran move. Roy doesn’t lie, he just evades you.”

chris-thealpha-beltran‌:

“I shouldn’t have invited the clan? I was hoping it’d be a pleasant surprise.“ Chris clinked their glasses together without a proper toast and took a sip. “You did a fine job.“

“Now, I know you don’t expect me to buy that they’re just here for a pleasant surprise trip. I’m not stupid.” She took a long sip and sighed. “Thank you.”

Clara stared out over her balcony for a few minutes in silence. “Now when Roy goes to live with you, do I at least get every other weekend? Alternate holidays?  Make it as amiable for him as possible?”

chris-thealpha-beltran‌:

“I come baring gifts.“ Chris had two glasses of wine in his hands. “Running away from your own party?“

Clara fully turned to look at him, accepting a glass with a smile. “Might be.”

[clarastafford]

On the Balcony

Clara glanced over her shoulder as the door opened. “Did you need something?”

All Hallows Ball

“What? Is the face lace too much?“

[clarastafford]

“Not at all. It’s a celebration right?” Clara watched Nora, the gears whirring in the back of her head.”

“Roy didn’t tell me you were in the states. Are you just here for the Haunted Harvest?”

    “No judgment from me. In fact, I commend you for only having one shot - I’d want about 4. Is there anything that I can do to help you with the events?”

“Anymore and others could smell it.” Clara thought for a moment taking a sip of her boozy coffee. “Decorations for the tea, I think.”

“It’s not 5pm yet, don’t be a bitch.“ He grumbled in reply. “I’m not cheap… $50 and I’ll make it worth.“

“$25 and you can leave the ball early.”

lestatthelyon‌:

“Noted.”

“Would orange be good? Or is that too tacky?” Lestat had the gall to offer a smirk.

“Do you need me to give you a cheat sheet?”

“Gold, black, blue, red, silver or white.”

[lestatthelyon-deactivated202308]

@ outfit planning

“I don’t know if pink’s my color. Hm. Should I focus more on blue? I’d need a mask to match.”

[clarastafford]

Clara looked up from her phone. “The color scheme is Gold. Blue will match better.”

dan-prior‌:

“All you need was the right amount of rum. Aries, the owner of Anonymous, had a mini get together about mixing alcohol so its undetectable weeks ago.“

She squinted her eyes at him. “I know who Aries is.” Sighing, Clara took another sip and handed the cup out o him. “$20 to spike that stronger without the smell?”

“You’re the reason I’m out here in the sun light. I’m going to bitch and moan until Christmas.“ Dan smirked. “Baileys? Weak.“

“Going around smelling like a shot of vodka isn’t really an option.” 

[clarastafford]

Watching the Pumpkin Carving Contest

“I have four days until the tea, and all my costumes still needing to be cleaned and ironed. The caterers haven’t gotten back to me with the final menu for either event and I’m inviting the general town to my house for the first time in 20 years in a little over a week. So if there is a shot of Baileys in my fucking latte, I think it’s something you should kindly not comment on.”
