“i  just  wish  someone  would  arrange  it  now,  honestly  …  I'M  NOT  A  PATIENT  MAN.”  he's  incredibly  patient,  but  he's  just  not  sure  what  he's  waiting  for.  some  people  thought  that  was  what  made  life  fun.  atlas  disagreed.  “THE  MATCHMAKING  SERVICE  ?  god,  no.  noa  is  my  friend,  it  would  be  so  weird  to  ask  her  to  set  me  up  on  a  date.”  he  would,  frankly,  rather  die  than  ask  a  friend  (  or  anyone  he  knows,  for  that  matter  )  to  set  him  up.  he  gives  marley  a  fake  smile  before  flashing  her  his  middle  finger.  “HA  HA,  very  funny.”

[dcrkcloud]

"What would you do if they took all your complaining to heart and actually did it? Suddenly you're getting married next month to a stranger. How are you feeling?" It'd be her worst nightmare, but Atlas is a lot more outgoing than she is. He could probably make it work somehow. "Doesn't she have any other staff that could handle your case?" Marley had always thought it was a bigger operation, but thinking about it, she thinks it'd be better and more intimate staying small. "Also that's definitely not weird, friends set friends up all the time." She shrugs. "Hey, I try!"

"Sounds good to me. But I get Dolly, I promise I can not hit some of those higher notes. I will probably crack." Not that Tabby would be embarrassed, but you know, fair warning. "How about heads Dolly, tails Kenny? You flip for yourself and then I'll take the other."

[dcrkcloud]

"Belting it out off key is half the fun!" Cleo laughs, already fishing around in her bag for her wallet or a loose coin — whichever she finds first. Finally finding one, she positions it on her thumb, ready to go. "Heads Dolly, Tails Kenny." She repeats, pausing just a moment for dramatic effect before letting it tumble into the air, catching and covering it with her other hand. "The big reveal...!"

[drtabbyfeldman-deactivated20251]

"Yeah, I'm sick of sad stuff all the time. Bring back romcoms! I want to never think about sad stuff again!" Tabby shouted, uncaring of the patrons eating around them. She also didn't truly mean it, knowing deep down that sad stuff was always going to happen. But she would fight it if she could. "Yeah I know what you mean. It's why I've always hated growing up. You can never go back to how things were, not really. The future can be great, but the past is easier. I know what's expected of me there."

[dcrkcloud]

Daphne can't help the boisterous laugh that slips out at Tabby's outburst. She's right, and now they're both disturbing the other patrons with their passion for that happy feeling only the cutest romcom can provide. "Never ever!" She agrees, suddenly picking up her drink to toast. "To never thinking about sad stuff ever again!" Not a promise she can keep, but one she'd like to. "That's a great way to put it." She hums. "Still, there is a handful of things I'd like to leave in the past, so... I might not have New York, but I don't have those, and do have plenty of other things I love in my life here."

[drtabbyfeldman-deactivated20251]

"I think we will. It's Florida, the place is crawling with retired people looking for companions. They spend their golden years together and it's sweet." She said, nodding in agreement with Maria. She didn't expect the two of them to get along outside of being coworkers when the first met, but know Tabby was happy to say that she really liked the other girl and considered her a friend. Hopefully Maria felt similarly.

"I mean, I know that exists. Like the Senior Dog Sanctuary that was famous on social media. There are places like that, and they do such good work. But the idea of an old folks home for dogs is just hilarious. Like all the dogs playing Bingo."

[dcrkcloud]

"Yeah, you're right." Maria's been in Palmview for a few years now, but she still sometimes forgets this is as much an ideal place to retire as it is for people her age to enjoy the sun and sand. Not that she enjoys too much of either; she probably has more in common with the elderly ladies playing bingo down at the community centre than the 20-somethings dancing the night away on the moonlit beach.

"I don't think I ever saw that, that sounds so cute." She laughs. "Howl when you get a full house. Group walks around the yard every morning, bright and early. Book club on a Wednesday night; this week they're reading Bark Twain."

[drtabbyfeldman-deactivated20251]

Tabby kissed Mateo's forehead. She was happy to help him, no matter how many times she jokingly complained. "Oh please don't. Fill your stamp card at the ice cream place instead. It's so much safer." She pleaded, shaking her head in his direction. Then she caught the eye of one of the vet techs. "Hey listen, you sit and relax and rest that knee. I gotta meet with a patient. I'll be back out in a bit. Then I can drive you home when my shift is over. That cool?"

[dcrkcloud]

"Hey, that's not a bad idea, but I'm gonna need a hand eating all that ice cream otherwise I'm surely gonna get brain freeze, so you'll have to come with me." He grins, stretching out his leg just a little to find a more comfortable placement. His face contorts ever so slightly, but he soon finds relief in a more relaxed position. "Okay, okay, you go save the world, I'll do as I'm told, promise." His smile is softer now, promise genuine. He knows better than to push it. "That sounds good to me. Thank you."

[loversfms]

she  leads  the  way,  but  steps  out  of  it  so  he  can  insert  the  coin  into  the  machine.  “uh,  okay  !  i  think  i  can  promise  that.”  not  that  she  really  had  much  of  a  day  to  rearrange.  winona  had  always  been  a  bit  of  a  loner  –  something  she'd  been  trying  to  fix  in  this  NEW  VERSION  of  her.  but,  old  habits  die  hard.  this  was  probably  the  most  social  interaction  she  was  going  to  get  all  day.  “based  off  of,  um,  nothing  beyond  this  first  conversation,  where  do  you,  uh,  think  we'll  land  ?”

[dcrkcloud]

She seems a little nervous, and maybe he's just naïve, but he doesn't think it's all because of him. Whilst he's able to strike up a conversation with even an inanimate object, he's befriended plenty of people over the years that he's watched slowly come out of their shell as they got more used to him. He gets the feeling she will one day, too — as long as this reading goes well, that is. "Well, I don't know about Madame Cressida, but I think we're well on our way to a good friendship." He grins. "I'm Mateo, by the way. Should probably at least tell you my name before we find out if we're soulmates or sworn enemies."

[loversfms]

“comparing  me  to  the  internet  is  a  bit  UNFAIR.  i  don't  have  nearly  as  much  reach  as  youtube  ?"  not  that  he  would  want  as  much  reach  as  youtube  (  nor  would  he  know  what  to  do  with  it  ).  “giving  me  a  name  like  dorian  is  such  a  set  up  –  if  you're  going  to  make  me  DUM,  at  least  have  the  decency  to  not  give  me  a  dumb  name.  and,  i  have  to  ask:  is  GREG  ULYSSES  MCINTYRE  really  a  combination  you're  proud  of  ?”

[dcrkcloud]

"And for that, we're all grateful." She smiles, a little of her confidence starting to leave her, yet his continued attempt to lie his way out of her scolding does keep a little of that fire lit underneath her. "Oh, c'mon, I chose that one for that purpose. I don't doubt for a single second your actual name is something out of the ordinary, and even more so, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a chosen name to replace a plain birth name." She's probably far off the mark, but she could easily see something like Brian printed on his birth certificate and Pubert written on his work name badge. "And yes, it is."

[wallfloweresque]

Brandon wasn't sure what he'd been expecting when the other patron had suggested he take back the offer, but a cookbook had not been it. "Okay, I'll admit -- you've managed to surprise me," he laughed. "I didn't think that people still buy cookbooks, but I figure there's a story there." He quirked a brow in hopes that he could lure her into sharing said story. "But the offer's still on the table, if you'd like."

[dcrkcloud]

"My brother is a chef." She replies, as if that explains anything. "This isn't his book." The cover alone should have made that obvious; even the page she has the cookbook open to has a large photo of the non-chef celebrity printed, holding up the plate of the recipe she'd been reading through when he'd approached. "But I want to learn more good dishes, so I can make things for him sometimes, you know?" She smiles. "I would like that, thank you. Lead the way."

[sunshinesfm]

"  oh  gosh  ...  that  sounds  sort  of  interesting  but  i'm  not  sure  if  i'd  be  able  to  do  that.  i  like  having  a  place  for  everything  which  is  why  i  guess  i've  never  really  been  the  best  when  it  comes  to  having  so  much  of  a  mess  around  me.  "  she'd  respond  with  a  quick  shrug  of  her  shoulders  now.  "  yes  ...  it's  only  fair.  i  want  him  to  be  able  to  have  as  much  input  as  he  wants.  i  don't  think  he  minds  what  decor  i  end  up  picking  out  as  long  as  we're  on  the  same  page.  i  don't  usually  go  out  and  buy  things  without  asking  him  first.  unless  whatever  i  find  is  super  cute  and  i  have  the  need...  well..  i  should  say  want  to  buy  something.  even  if  he  rolls  his  eyes  at  me  at  first  ...  i  know  as  long  as  it'll  make  me  happy  he's  good  with  it.  "  sales  were  something  she  especially  always  made  sure  to  look  out  for  whenever  she  ended  up  going  shopping.  "  sales  are  the  best..  or  whenever  you  can  find  discounts  on  things.  have  to  go  for  all  of  the  little  win's  that  you're  able  to  find!  "  blair  would  agree  with  a  nod  and  a  happy  smile  on  her  face.  "  you  make  a  really  good  point.  i  was  able  to  organize  as  much  as  i  could  and  i'm  just  glad  that  the  apartment  is  slowly  starting  to  come  together.  sometimes  i  feel  like  something's  missing  to  make  it  feel  more  home-y  …  i  need  to  look  into  buying  some  more  art  pieces  and  such  too,  maybe  that's  it.  "

[dcrkcloud]

"My car is even worse." She admits with a sheepish laugh. Her car is actually the worst of it all — glovebox full of miscellaneous things she might need once in hyper-specific circumstances, bottle squashed into a too-small drinks holder, door pocket overflowing with receipts from her last delivery shift and long forgotten notes and reminders. "Everything has a place, I know where to find it all, but none of it makes any sense. Pretty much the only things in the right place are me in the driver's seat and the air freshener on the rear view mirror." She could really do with an upgrade, but she's determined to get every penny out of her investment. She'll drive it until it quite literally falls apart underneath her. "He sounds like a keeper." Georgia smiles, voice soft and fond. Even without him here, Georgia can feel their love in her words, her tone. She likes to think one day she'll have that, too, but the longer she goes without it, the more she worries. It's hard not to feel behind when you've felt like the odds have been stacked against you your whole life. "Honestly, there's nothing quite like finding something you love at a bargain price." She chuckles once more. She might not go thrifting too often, but most of her favourite outfits were comprised of pieces she'd picked up for far less than they should be just because someone else had worn them a few times. "Art pieces could definitely help, I think. Walls are kind of awkward... They always feel too bare or too busy to me."

marco: Hey, even Atlas might be skewed by me at this point. I made him a new app I'm working on a little bit ago and he was chastizing me about my presentation! marco: But, I know they'd love anything you make for them. :) marco: Truffle pasta with a side of purple scribble sounds delicious though, doesn't it?

[dcrkcloud]

maria: I'd have chest pains... love him, but he really has all the audacity in the world lol. maria: I'm sure, but I still want it to be as practiced as possible! they'll probably be teaching me! maria: oh, really delicious. I think it'd be good with a sprinkle of glitter on top, too! best served with a side of smudged glue on the corner of the plate.

celeste: i'm gonna invest in a shame stick!! celeste: you can't be touching people's food georgia!! celeste: that being said ... i'm about to put in an order what do you want my queen

georgia: don't threaten me with a good time!! georgia: I can if I don't get caught!!! georgia: don't spoil me, I'll get used to it ...... georgia: a drink would be great, cola please <3

“  what  ?  you  wouldn't  be  voted  off  ,  ”  milo  interjects  ,  suddenly  much  too  invested  in  the  hypothetical  at  hand  .  “  cleo  ,  you're  not  ugly  .  erm  ,  ”  he  frowns  .  huh  ?  “  i  mean   —  ”  how  does  he  fix  this  ?  he  can't  exactly  tell  her  she's  pretty  either  .  she  must  already  know  that  though  ,  right  ?  “  sure  you're  not  like  the  average  vapid  contestant  .  but  maybe  that's  what  the  show  needs  ?  a  breath  of  fresh  air  ?  ”  milo's  not  exaclty  versed  in  all  things  dating  shows  ,  but  he's  seen  enough  of  them  to  know  that  sometimes  being  different  really  does  make  a  …  well  — difference  .  suddenly  ,  flashbacks  to  new  york  come  to  the  forefront  of  his  memories  .  his  ex  cozying  up  on  the  couch  ,  tuning  into  the  nightly  events  in  the  villa  .  sometimes  he'd  tune  in  ,  trying  not  to  make  too  many  negative  comments  about  the  selected  personalities  that  season  .  did  they  ever  have  normal  people  ?  or  did  being  in  front  of  the  camera  change  things  ?  “  unless  you're  feeling  shy  i  guess  ,  ”  he  shrugs  .  does  he  know  anyone  who  would  do  a  dating  show  ?  maybe  teddy  .  she  seems  to  like  everyone  ,  which  is  exacly  why  she  likes  him  .  he  feels  relief  when  the  conversation  shifts  ,  leaning  in  close  to  examine  the  ‘  business  card  ’  .  “  oh  yeah  ?  who  else  would  you  ban  ?  ”  he  flips  the  card  over  ,  examining  the  blonde  who  almost  destroyed  his  business  . 

[dcrkcloud]

"Well, thanks, but I figured it'd be more my personality that turned everyone away." She laughs, cheeks rosier than they should be. Being 'not ugly' almost feels like the highest honour, a uniquely Milo compliment that she's under the impression doesn't come along very often. "Yeah, I don't think many would see me as a 'breath of fresh air'. I think I'd be too much for the usual clientele on those types of shows, but that's okay. Genuinely. It's not my calling; I'm good right where I am." Maybe good is a bit of a stretch, but in the context of being here, working with Milo in a well-paced record store in a coastal town, she's at peace. She smiles softly, attempts to hide it behind a casual lift of her hand tucking hair behind her ear far more obvious than she intends. "Oh, well, for starters, that guy that came in last week and asked individually about, like, fifteen different albums, instead of just giving me his list upfront, so I had to keep bouncing around the store. Also the woman who shouted at me last week for not having an album, that when I searched for it, isn't even out yet." She huffs out a sigh, nose scrunched at the bridge. "Bad, isn't it? The card. Feel free to block that number while you have it, by the way. God knows I get tempted."

[sunshinesfm]

"  oh  it  would  absolutely  change  your  life  for  the  better.  not  trying  to  tempt  you, don't worry.  but  half  the  time  it's  even  hard  for  myself  to  resist.  "  she'd  playfully  joke.  "  doesn't  it?  they  have  to  be  one  of  my  favorites.  especially  when  i  happen  to  be  craving  both.  "  when  she  had  a  craving  she  had  to  fulfill  it.  when  working  in  a  bakery  it  was  almost  super  hard  to  resist  wanting  to  try  majority  of  the  things  that  they  had  going  on  the  menu.  their  menu  had  changed  due  to  the  seasons  every  so  often  so  it  was  something  she  had  gotten  used  to  in  the  mean  time.  "  listen,  it's  fine.  as  long  as  the  customers  are  happy,  then  what  else  matters,  you  know?  "  she  responded  with  a  smile  while  making  sure  everything  had  been  set  to  go.  "  you  don't  have  to  pay  extra  for  the  packaging,  no.  just  for  the  items  that  you're  buying.  "

[dcrkcloud]

"I don't think I could work in a bakery, everything smells so good." She's the same in the record store, always spotting an album on the shelf or a tune hummed under someone's breath that has her running over to their playlist, adding another song to the queue. It doesn't help that she's the type of cook who's always sneaking a bite as she goes, helps make the tedious process of pulling something together a little more bearable. She isn't much of a cook. "Well, now I'm curious what else you can mix together. I think this place might be my new heaven. Next time, though, I think this is plenty to fuel my colleagues through today's shift." Cleo grins, eagerly digging into her bag for her wallet. "Oh, thank you. You never know, you know? With a lot of places, they're always finding something else to charge you for." She laughs nervously, pulling out her card. "Think I should have a space left in here for my inevitable loyalty card." She jokes.

[wandererfms]

she  stepped  inside,    setting  the  pot  down  carefully  on  the  counter  .     she  then  turned  to  him  with  a  crooked  grin,     her  eyes  softening  just  a  bit.     “  well,     you  know  me  —  word  travels  faster  than  a  rumor  in  this  town.     can’t  have  my  people  runnin’  themselves  ragged,     now,     can  i?  ”     she  pulled  a  chair  out  and  settled  in,     still  holding  that  steady,      no-nonsense  gaze.     “  you  just  rest  that  knee  of  yours.     i’ll  make  sure  you’re  taken  care  of.  ” 

[dcrkcloud]

He’ll probably never ask, partly because he’s a little afraid of the answer, but Sadie’s among a few people that he’ll always wonder how they seem to always be in the know. Maybe he’s just not as mysterious as he likes to think he is, maybe they’ve all got a network of birdies, one informant for each person they know. Whatever it is, if it means he gets home-cooked meals, it could never be a bad thing. “You certainly cannot.” He grins, following her through to take a seat. He has to admit; it’s nice to be taken care of every so often. “Really, though. Thank you for this. I think you read my mind, I was starting to wonder what I was going to do for dinner.”

[minimcl]

"I know, I'm honestly relieved." She teases, glancing over at Mateo with a grin, "We should meet like this more often." As much as she appreciates seeing a familiar face on a stressful, busy day in the ER, she'd also prefer to not see people she cares about in pain. It's how she's sure she's a doctor for the right reasons and not a victim of Munchausen's by proxy or whatever. She hums, nodding, "Yes, fresh air is great, but heat exhaustion? Not so much." Though, she's nowhere close to that worn out. "Well, hey! Better to go outside when you're bored than wasting away at home. Your knee could atrophy." She's kidding, of course, but she doesn't want to pressure Mateo too much to push himself too far, "How is the knee these days? You haven't been at the ER this week, so I have to assume good." Bria chuckles softly.

[dcrkcloud]

“Hey, a little heat exhaustion never hurt nobody!” A medical fact, he’s sure. His own experience at ten is a clear indicator he’s full of it, but she doesn’t have to know that. His playful grin is bright as ever as he stretches his legs out in front of him, tapping the back of his heels against the ground. “Always. Always better to be out here where the sun shines and the birds sing.” Maybe he’s laying it on a bit thick, but it’s true, he has always preferred being outside in the fresh air to being cooped up inside. If he could, he’d live in a treehouse; seems like it’d be the best of both worlds. “It’s not too bad, actually. A little sore, but I’ve been staying within my limits, promise.” He nods, smirk returning. “Haven’t been doing anything stupid this week, however that usually means I double it the following week, so…”
