26-30 !

26. do you ever feel like you have a sixth sense? in what way(s)? “I dunno? I mean, I usually feel like I always know when something bad could happen, but if I’m being honest that could just be me being neurotic.” 27. any prophetic dreams?“I don’t know if I would call them ‘prophetic but— I always try to figure out what they mean.... I had a dream about strawberry milk shakes right before I came back home with Charlie, I kind of think it was a sign I was making the right choice... Or craving one really bad, whatever.” 28. have you ever had your fortune told? (did it prove to be accurate?) “I’ve read a cookie or two, nothing that’s ever stuck with me though. 29. has anyone “read your mind” before? “Nah, not really my bag.” 30. have you witnessed any “miracles” or strange coincidences? “Charlie’s the only miracle I got, but right now that’s good enough for me... It’s always gonna be enough.”

Location: on street in town

Time: Late afternoon

Status: Open @charmingstarter​

Norman was out of his car, having his small not book out and sketching a store front across the street. It looked like he was goofing off…but really he was just putting everything to memory about the shop. There had been some odd comings and goings that had caught his attention…nothing big enough to launch anything…but he was going to keep a sharp eye on it. The man heard foot falls coming his way, the man humming as he glanced up. Instead of saying anything Norman just raised his brows, quietly asking what the others needed.

[creedencehale]

“Order up!” Walking out to the patio seating of Hale’s Diner carrying a tray full of orders for multiple tables during the weekend lunch shift. It was busy, but nothing Cree couldn’t handle as she made sure everyone was satisfied with their meals and service. Still? The car parked on the street caught her eye, more so the person next to it. Giving a chuckle she walked over to the Sheriff with her tray tucked under her arm. “I’m sure your surveillance work would be a little more enjoyable with some coffee, don’t ya think?” she smiled, hoping she gave off more of a helpful look instead of mischievous in the eyes of law enforcement.

[gravesrafael]

   it was purely an accident and that was the truth. rafael had decided that he wanted to go out and just try to have a nice night. he was supposed to be meeting up with some of the devils at la luna. of course he had taken his time in leaving the house because part of him wasn’t sure that he was ready. part of him felt like he was his old self when he had pulled on his cut. he had taken his bike instead of the truck that was still sitting in the driveway. he had been walking towards the bar after parking when he heard some asshole mumbling something about no good bikers. the man had even gone so far as to spit at rafael’s boots. ten years before he would have laughed it off.

yet the guy just kept it up with the stupid remarks. he had even gone so far as to shove at raf. it was like seeing red as some of his fury was unleashed. instantly wailing on the guy and shoving him against the wall of a nearby building. the look in his eyes was almost blank as the idiots friend’s tried to pull him off. by that point he hadn’t realized that the guy’s nose was gushing blood. a stunned look on his face when he realized just what he had done. his riding gloves now stained crimson as he stumbled back,“ fuck!” @charmingstarter​

[creedencehale]

She wasn’t exactly a friend of the guy getting pummeled, Cree has been smoking weed out of her piece disguised as a cigarette when the altercation started. She wasn’t exactly bothered by the bar front altercation, after all Creedence was too wrapped in her own head, a tad tipsy and working out her own shit— at least she was until the first punch landed.

“Hey— HEY!” She screamed, completely thrown off by the suddenly escalation. She jogged over, attempting to yank at the leather cut of the man slamming his fist into the other man’s face until he seemed to snap out of it. He swore under his breath, stumbling back into Cree who was knocked on her ass as the bleeding man scurried away.

“Well what the fuck was that all about?”

Coming back to town in the recent weeks had been quite the adjustment for Melrose. She hadn’t been in Charming for what seemed like ten years, she could hardly keep up. Happily noticing that her favorite cafe was still open, she made her way inside. Reaching the front of the line, Melrose placed her usual order and felt a shiver go down her spine, the familiarity making her time away feel like none at all. She received her latte in a signature giant mug and decided to people watch, figure out who the other newbies in town were, rather than be overtly social. Melrose was trying to be discrete, but she couldn’t help but accidentally meet another’s gaze. “ Hi ,” she offered with a soft wave.

[creedencehale]

Yeah she could have gone to Hale’s for coffee, but Cree didn’t like to be in the Diner on her day off unless she had to. Besides it was a short line at Corner’s Cafe so she didn’t mind a minute or two wait for a decent iced coffee. Out of the peripheral of her eye she noticed a blonde looking her way. She turned and noticed her waving and took off her shades, awkwardly stepping out of line to talk to her. “Heey? Do I know you?” She asked as the woman’s face slowly came together in her mind “Mel, right?”

[creedencehale]

Samantha couldn’t help but smirk. Thank God she didn’t actually work in a place where customer service was such a needed thing since people go into the gym and just go ahead and do their own thing. Most of the time, she’s off in the back office just fucking around and making sure all their taxes are filed so their reputation is spotless.

Not the same could be said in a diner, though. “You’re welcome, sweetheart,” Sam said, the smirk still on her face. “I mean, I’d say I’d love a cup of your lovely company but I don’t think I can handle that without some coffee first. Wouldn’t you agree?”

It was only a little nudge of annoyance from Sam, but it was just enough to tank Cree’s buzz and piss her off. She wanted to wipe the smug look off of the woman’s face, but she was smarter than that. The woman owned a boxing gym after all. Still, she had no issue handling things verbally.

“Do we have a problem?” Cree asked pointedly, sure to keep her voice down in the packed diner. “Because if you want burgers and fries there’s a McDonald’s down the block where you can give lip at and I’m sure some teenager will lick your sesame seed bun in return. I, however don’t need that shit—“ she slammed down a mug and filled it with coffee. “Now, do you want cream or sugar with that or what?”

[creedencehale]

Eddie felt like he was losing all his family after the passings of Ricky and their grandfather. Eddie and his dad were feeling so lonely for a while up until news about Creedence and Charlie. Even just supporting them from afar or doing video calls before they came to Charming was nice. Everything that Eddie did was for his family, and Cree and Charlie took up just as much of his heart as anyone else Eddie was extremely close with.

“His name’s Axel– he’s a surgeon at the hospital.” Eddie and Axel’s history was complicated… they were friends before Axel left and when Axel came back, Eddie just felt different. Whether that was good or bad, he’d soon find out. “He’s a great guy… super awesome with kids, I’ve seen him at the hospital. I was thinking we could take Charlie to a dinner and the park or something.” Eddie did want to spend more time with his nephew now that he was here.

She listened intently to the way he spoke about friend the doctor, curiosity getting the best of her as he did. She’d only been back a year so her knowledge of Eddie’s personal life outside of her son was small, but it didn’t stop her from prying.

“And this friend...” she started softly, unsure of how delicate the situation was. “Is he like a friend or a friend?” The second that she said it time seemed to slow down and yet past all too quickly, leaving her to ramble as she explained her line of questioning. “Sorry that’s like, super nosy of me. You’ve just never asked to introduce him to anyone.”

[creedencehale]

"you are making me so happy i didn’t grow up here,“ she said with a small laugh. she was going to pour herself a glass of water while listening as she spoke,” wait, this guy is basing it off of something that happened when you were in school?“ she was leaning against the counter and took a small sip from it,” i mean i’m not an optimist myself but maybe you’ll find someone.“

“Consider yourself lucky.” She spat back. “No one knows your parents, your grandparents. No one knows you or that dumb thing you did in middle school that follows you till at least twenty-eight because THAT’S when they start making fun of you for shit you did in high school.” Cree took another long gulp and sighed. “I thought I got away from it a long time ago but... Small town shit never dies.”

[creedencehale]

“I really think we have a chance to bring it home for Charming this award season.” Carly joked, laughing as she tucked the phone in her pocket. She looked around the diner before back to Cree, “Where’s my little man?!” She gasped, mentioning Cree’s kid who Carly absolutely adored since the moment she met him. “He really likes going for joy rides in my car and watching me pick fights with guys twice my size who don’t use their turn signals.”

“Oh yeah he’s told me all about Aunt Carly’s road rage, he says you head bang to rock bands after so I only hope you’re introducing my kid to the classics and not that new amateur shit.” She playfully tossed a napkin in her friend’s direction as a prideful grin spread across her face at the mention of Charlie. “He is currently at a play date with the coolest kid in his class, not bad for his first one, right?” Cree coolly replies before breaking pretense to chuckle about her 9 year old’s latest achievement. Her eyes move to the Coca Cola clock above the jukebox. “But he should be back any minute now., I’m sure with some fun story about digging up worms or playing Mario Kart— whatever they do at playdates now. Something cute.”

[creedencehale]

“Actually, no, not yet. Would you be a doll and take it for me then?” Samantha asked, that fake smile still plastered on her lips. She never did handle grief very well – may that be her own or others’ so it was easier like this. Hell, it would probably be easier if they just left each other but Charming was a pretty small place and they couldn’t completely avoid each other at this point.

“You look… tired?” She murmured, striking up some conversation that she just hoped wouldn’t result into a fight. She was much too tired for that. “Can I have some coffee to start with?”

Her eyes glazed over as Samantha spoke, her dry words laced with something Cree could only identify as malice. Still, she picked up a pad and pen and gestured to them to let Sam know she was ready write.

“... Thanks for noticing.” Cree said plainly after blinking twice, her face unamused. She jotted down the coffee and looked back up at her. “Anything else or do you need a minute?”
