Welcome to Curiositea || Mira & Coraline
"For you, since you don’t drink much, it’ll be two dollars" she said smiling at the girl then going over to grab a cup and began to pour the steaming hot water in the glass.
Coraline fished change out of her pocket, and laid two dollars on the counter.
"Thank you very much!" she said.
Oh What A Beautiful Day || Open
Haden hated wasting a good cigarette. Those things were so expensive. The grating swinging finally stopped. “Hey, kid, what are you doing here?”
Coraline looked around for a moment, before realizing the man was speaking to her.
"I was just swinging. Isn't that what they're there for?"
Oh What A Beautiful Day || Open
Haden strolled along the path, his hands in his pockets as he was returning home from buying a pack of cigarettes at the store. He wasn’t addicted, he could quit anytime he wanted, but, he knew some people would take offense to him smoking, and boy, he loved to piss off other people. It was a hobby of his. Just to draw some heads, he flicked his lighter open and lit himself a cigarette.
But, as he continued walking, he noticed a little girl swinging. Cursing under his breath, he knew it was too late to put out his cigarette. He hated kids. They were so innocent, it made him sick to his stomach. They knew nothing about the hardships of life, and yet, they thought they knew everything. Arrogant little brats. He growled, upset by the fact that he had to waste a cigarette in order to keep up his appearance as a ‘good civilian.’ The thought made him scoff.
Coraline's peaceful moment was ruined by the man who walked by with a cigarette hanging limply out of his mouth. She groaned under her breath as she skidded to a stop, finally deciding to go in and get a snack for herself.

Welcome to Curiositea || Mira & Coraline
Mira looked over to the young girl in her shop with a small smile. ‘Your never to young to start drinking tea’ she thought to herself. “Hmm? When I was about your age my favorite type of tea was peppermint, maybe that would be a good start?”
"That sounds nice," she said. "how much does a cup cost?"
She surveyed the kettle that heated up the water as she considered how she had arrived here. Her parents had (once again) given her money to get out of the house. Unsure where to go, she wandered the streets until she came upon this she had never been in before.
She wondered if she would be quite as adventurous if her parents had more time for her.
Oh What A Beautiful Day || Open
Coraline swung peacefully, as the end-of-summer sun beat down on her. She kicked her shoes off and pumped her legs till she swung so far she swore she was close enough to swing right over the top.
The only thing that would make this day better were some snacks. And for a moment, she considered getting down and fetching some lemonade - but she knew that stopping her rhythmic swings would indefinitely take her out of the peaceful calm she felt. So instead, she closed her eyes and imagined herself swinging through the clouds.
Welcome to Curiositea || Mira & Open
Mira sat looking out the window of her tea shop, Curiositea. She hadn’t gotten many customers that day and she was quite bored having nothing to do. She guess she could try and reorganize the tea stock, but she already did that a few days ago. Maybe, she could clean the tables for the second time that day, but there really was no need. That was when she heard the door’s bell ring signifying the entry of a customer. “Hello, Welcome to Curiositea!” she said calmly though she was excited on the inside. “How may I help you?”
Coraline strolled into the shop, unsure of what to ask for.
"I don't drink tea often," she explained. "What do you recommend?"
Crash Course in Invisibility || OPEN
Violet had her school books in her hand, she’d just been at the library brushing up on a few lessons from the previous year. She wanted to make sure they were fresh in her mind. She was minding her own business when a group of kids about her age ran past. One knocking her book, pencil case and her new comic book on the ground. She dove for that first, she hadn’t even started that one! She couldn’t let it get ruined she was already invested in the characters from the first one. She picked that up and carefully tucked it into her folder to keep it safe while she gathered up her notes,books and writing utensils.
Coraline was browsing the shelves of the library, when a small black pen rolled across the floor. She stuck her foot out and it hit her shoe, stopping it from rolling. She picked it up, before examining the room until she saw a girl looking slightly distressed as she picked her things up off the floor. Coraline walked towards her.
"Is this yours?" she asked.
Play Date || Coraline and Peter
Peter raised his eyebrows. An abandoned tree, eh? Now that sounded like fun, indeed. “Well, what are we waiting for, then? Show me this tree of yours!” For a brief moment, Coraline seemed very proud of her discovery, as she should be, and then he felt it slip away from her. He frowned briefly before smiling encouragingly at her. “Come on, fearless leader, you’re the only one who knows where this tree is, so you’re going to have to show me the way.”
Coraline smiled brightly at him, before turning and marching down the street. After all, she was the fearless leader.
While Away the Hours || Ash and Coraline
"Sounds good to me. I could use a break from this," Ash replied, gesturing to the papers she was now reorganizing into a pile. She shoved them into her bag and grabbed her wallet instead. "I can help pay, if you’d like. Still got some of my summer money leftover."
"Oh, that's okay." Coraline told her. She rarely was able to pay for herself, and felt proud and excited when she didn't have to rely on an adult for it. It made her feel older... more independent.
Aren't these the cutest!
"Everywhere darling. We can get our nails done, and try on dresses and shoes and get makeovers!" Peg laughed and clapped her hands. "We’ll have a girls day!"
"Ohh yay!" Coraline said gleefully. "Let me go get some money from my parents first!
Coraline happily headed towards her house, crossing her fingers that they wouldn't shoot her down.
The Candy Store || Coraline & Jack
Jack nodded, and decided to just run with her. It would be funner than holding up, anyway, right? They soon enough arrived to the entrance, and the man looked around. “Well, we have to get our skates now,” he instructed, and gestured toward a stall-like place in one corner of the locale. “That’s where they lend them to you!”
Coraline walked up to the desk, and asked for a size 6 pair of skates. She watched excitedly as the man handed her her skates, and she trotted off to a bench to put them on.
Aren't these the cutest!
"You make them beautiful darling." Peg smiled. "Do you want a pair too? Should we do some shopping?"
Coraline smiled wide, excited to go out with Peg. "That sounds great! Where should we go?"
Aren't these the cutest!
"Do you want some! Here," Peg passes Coraline the sunglass. "Try these on."
"Ohhh, they're beautiful!" Coraline laughed making silly faces and posing for Peg as she perched the fun frames on her nose.
While Away the Hours || Ash and Coraline
Ash chuckled. “Alright, alright, Miss Oh-so-wise Coraline,” she shot back. Her lips twisted a little at Coraline’s comment about her parents. “I know you’re not fond of them now, but maybe they weren’t so bad once. I mean, before they got all wrapped up in their work and stuff.” She shrugged.
Coraline knew that Ash was right, but didn't quite feel like validating her parent's choices. Instead, she stopped a waitress as she passed and asked for a chocolate milkshake.
She smiled and dug her hand into her pocket, feeling reassured as she clenched her fist around the crumpled ten dollar bill her parents had given her to get her out of their way. She glanced at the menu, wondering if she had enough to order fries as well.
Coraline realized she had abruptly ended the conversation with Ash, and feeling bad offered to share a meal with her.
"I don't know if I'll rat a half pizza by myself," she explained. "But I definitely want more than just a slice. What do you say?"
Play Date || Coraline and Peter
"Of course," Peter promised. He made an exaggerated cross motion over his heart. "And hope to die. Won’t tell a soul."
Coraline grinned and did a bit of over-acting, as she turned her head from side to side to make sure no one was listening before whispering to him "I found an abandoned tree near the edge of the woods. I go there sometimes to read or to be alone."
She smiled when she was finished, excited that she knew a fun childish place that Peter did not know about. For a moment she felt a bit superior, but that faded as she noticed his towering height over her.
Play Date || Coraline and Peter
Peter grinned and let Coraline lead him to her desired destination. The look of excitement and happiness on her face was priceless. “So where are we going, if you don’t mind me asking? Or is it supposed to be a surprise? Because I’m good with that, too.”
"Well, no one reall yknows about this except for me, so you can't tell anyone..." Coraline said hesitantly.
"Promise?"
