MARCO:

for: @corrinlui location: ricci’s

Marco knew better than to head into the restaurant on one of this evenings off, but sometimes he just couldn’t help himself. Tonight it had simply been a case of picking up some paperwork for something he’d been working through, yet he’d found himself stuck there and helping the pastry chef with prep for tomorrow. It definitely hadn’t been planned. As he was making his way out, through the restaurant itself opposed to the back, he noticed Corrin sat not far from the bar. At the sight of her, a smile curved onto his lips and he immediately made his way over to her. Seconds later, he’d slid into the seat opposite hers and asked, “Mind if I join you?”

She was back. Dressed in her most glamorous ensemble of chunky glitter and red lips. Working the nights, and no, not like some five dollar hoe, was a lot of work. Though, being a hoe was no easy walk. There was the appeal, and the gypping. ANYWAY, She had to be in the moment all the time to make sure the club vibe was right. Corrin didn’t complain, the fact she was able to keep such a successful business running this long just kept her wanting to do more. But, Corrin had a bad habit of getting bored, so to switch it up she would come to Ricci’s, which, was now just called Marco’s in her head. Most of the food tonight had a lot to do with Corrin, her table already showcasing an array of fine cuisine when she heard a very familiar man. She didn’t dare to look up yet, Carbonara stuffed in the pockets of her cheeks. “Mm!” She chewed her food, finding his appearance no surprise. “...Please do. Now that you’re here I don’t have to look like a pig.” She slid a few dishes closer to him, nodding her head for him to eat. Meaning, he was stuck there now. “When they said you were off today I almost laughed.” She adds, patting at her mouth lightly not to fade her lipstick. “What’s the excuse today?” She ask, gently tugging at his pant leg with the point of her heel. “I’m gonna have to snatch you up and give you a proper break.”

SAGE:

Who: @catalinastarter / open Where: Catalina Shopping Center When: Saturday January 23, around 2 pm

Sage had been at the shopping center for roughly two hours now. The brunette had decided to go shopping for a few things to make their new home feel more like their own. Unfortunately, Sage had the bad habit of going a bit overboard whenever they went on a shopping spree. Right now, they were attempting to make their way into yet another store while carrying two bags in each hand from the stores they’d already been into. Unfortunately, the bags were heavy and were causing a cramp to form in one of Sage’s hands. As they attempted to move the two bags on their cramped hand to the other one, they ended up dropping all four of the bags they were carrying. And of course the contents of the bags spilled out onto the floor, right at someone else’s feet. With a sigh, Sage began to pick everything up. “I wonder if I should take that as a sign that I’ve spent enough money for the day” Sage said to the person whose feet the bags had nearly landed on.

Okay. It was like looking in an mirror. FREAKY. Corrin had shopping bags trailed up her arms; a real master shopper. Or centipede. She was just entering the same store. Something about buying a new scent every day had become her drug. She’d possibly need rehab from all the perfumes she’s inhaled, but that was another story. And as the other person’s belongings came crashing down, Corrin couldn’t help but grimace. “Nope, just take it as more of a reason to spend more money. Laugh at the world and keep it moving.” She carefully slid each bag from one of her arms to help pick up the items that fell. “What’s the occasion?” She asks, “Either your a shopaholic or you need to shop to distract you from whatever has happened in your life.” She adds, taking the things she’s grabbed and handing them over to her.

NATH:

for → @catalinastarter ( 3 / 3 ) location: descanso beach club time: evening

“Oh.” Nath’s face falls as they see the can brought over to their table — a raspberry-lime Spindrift instead of the grapefruit like they’d asked. Before he can say anything to the person, they’ve already walked away, and he sighs, lying back into his chaise. “It’s fine,” they say, not particularly addressing anybody. “I’ll drink it. It’s just not my favorite.” They crack open the can, CO2 hissing from the open air. “Unless… what do you have? Wanna trade?”

“A Spindrift?” Who did he think she was? Him? “No. Hard pass.” She says, visible expression of distaste at the mere thought of sparkling water fizzing against her taste buds. It has and will make her nuts. “I’ll tell you what. I’ll take that sparkling vomit with me and demand you get the raspberry-lime you deserve.” Corrin extended her arm, wiggling her fingers for him to hand his can over. “I sat here shouting profanity at you in my head. I was hoping you wouldn’t have opened that can, and settled.” She then stood up, grabbing her Tom Colins. “You gonna give me an opportunity to work my magic, or cause me to sit here and silently judge you?”

What makes you feel uneasy? Overwhelmed? Anxious?

“Love.” She says, “And don’t come for me. Love and I have a complicated relationship. It tends to constantly put me on edge.” she explains. “I only fell in love once, and it murdered me.” She then sighs, “And failure, staying stagnant. Anything that tells me to be still when I want to go.”

What’s the greatest risk you’ve ever taken?

“That one time Lady Gaga was in Vegas performing the night I was supposed too” The thought alone making Corrin’s face light up. God. “I didn’t want to go home, so I purposely spread the news that there were technical difficulties with the lights. So, she had to postpone her show.” She then laughs, “I love Gaga! Don’t get me wrong. But, shit, I wanted to perform. She doesn’t even know I had to fight for that night. I ended up fixing the lights when my boss needed someone to fil in and I sang that night. I know, I ain’t shit.”

NAOMI:

with @catalinastarter (3 of 3 — full) location any casual eatery time mid-morning to early evening

“ okay, just so we’re on the same page, ” naomi starts, hobbling across the threshold, one foot shoed and the other just nylon-clad. she’s taken a tumble, see, and her ankle .. well, it’s beginning to SWELL. “ it was .. just — ” she grunts, trying to shove a third chair closer to the small, round table with just her hip. she’s enormously unsuccessful, much to her pride’s chagrin, so she continues the effort. “ an accident. running, or — whatever. zac efron ran me over with his mountain bike. ugh, i don’t know, ” she’s exasperated, now. “ do you have a better idea? ”

COYOTE JOE’S--- she had no business being there. Corrin made a promise, with no weight, that she’d never step another foot in this eatery. But here she was, taco almost in her mouth when a disordered woman came hopping in like leapfrog. Coyote you devil. This has been about the one-millionth time she’s tried to eat in this place and somehow she never does. First time, she got a bad case of the rumbling tummy; her stomach opening a can of whoop-ass all in her insides. But damn was Joe’s tacos the best. Corrin fastens her eyes on the other, already trying to convince herself she doesn’t hear her so she can eat her tacos and regret it later. Yet, the name Zac Efron got the girls attention. “What, he went and rented a bike just to deliberately run you over with it?” She ask, an amused tone as she placed her taco safely back into her basket. “I alway’s knew that Zac was a Bitch.” She smirks, her hand rising to her lips to keep back a titter. “...I mean, yeah, sure.” She starts, pushing her tacos aside ( for her own good ) and resting her arms along the table. “How about a slip and fall? No sign to indicate the floor was wet and you slip n slided all up and down Coyote Joe’s.” And she can’t help but laugh, of course she say’s the exact place she’s eating at. Put them in bad light for not allowing her to eat in peace without having to do backflips on the toilet.

Who is that one person you can talk to about just anything?

HONESTY HOUR

favorite song to perform as part of your job?

HONESTY HOUR

“Honestly, my favorite song to sing is Jessie Ware’s Spotlight.” Her shoulder’s drop, a content sigh passing her lips. “That is one of the best songs that just--sends me back into a time I WISH I was apart of. The 70s.” She then rolls her eyes, “But, I can’t have my way all the time when I sing, so I usually go for any Billie Holiday song when I’m working. Seems to do the trick for all the guest. I enchant them with a spell so I can sing what I really want.”

do you currently feel fulfilled in life?

HONESTY HOUR

“Absolutely!” Corrin smiles, that proud wearing, teeth barring grin. She was living out her dream. She’s traveled, made friends, lost some. What else did she need? “I’m content. If anything else arises in my life, it’s only going to be more success and positivity, honey.”

What's the weirdest food you've ever eaten?

HONESTY HOUR

“Suaasat.” She states, lips puckering in distaste. “It’s this seal meat soup that I am not fond of.” She tells. “I went to Alaska. It was this field trip my mom put together for me being homeschooled and all. I had to live with this family, and they provided meals for me,” She sighs and shakes her head. “They were nice and all, but they were trying to kill me with that stuff. Thought my stomach was gonna rot.”

AMBER:

for: @catalinastarter location: step beach time: shortly after sunrise

It was nothing unusual for Amber to be out with the sunrise and on the beach. She’d got into the habit of early morning swims shortly after arriving on Catalina Island and had yet to break out of it again, finding the whole thing invigorating and a great way to start off her day. She’d been fairly sure she’d been out there alone today, but once she’d made her way out of the water again and onto the sand, wringing the water from her hair, she’d realised there was someone else heading down the sand in her general direction. “I thought I was the only one crazy enough to be out here this early,” she commented lightly, bright smile on her features.

Corrin waved her down, sliding her sunglasses from her face and onto her hat. “Oh, you still are!” And she says this, big grin plastered on her face while simultaneously trekking along the coarse beach sand clad in her white floppy sun hat, and electric blue corduroy romper. Corrin was not a morning person and not the typical I can’t function kind, but the morning is for beauty rest kind.“My place is feeling a LITTLE too cramped.” She says, flipping her hair over her shoulder and readjusting her bag along her petite shoulders. An exasperated huff falling from her lips. “I thought I could use some fresh air. My house was beginning to feel like a trap.” Corrin, pulling out a beach towel and pitching it, dropped down onto it and sighed. “So, have you decided on when you were gonna tell the town you’re a majestic mermaid?” She teased.
