“Hey, listen, don’t blame me, alright? Blame South Side community college and their shitty programs in the 80s. I did my best, but a guy can only play the cards he’s been dealt.” Mike’s laughter was his version of a thank you. “Wait, you hadn’t claimed beauty yet? And this is what you look like? Holy shit, what’s the plan here, you are gonna turn into Aphrodite now?” He tapped his temple before smiling at her, “See, I know that one. Though, I thought we were going for more of a brawns and brain kind of thing. You know, you are all pretty and smart and people think I look dangerous even though I have never won a single bar fight.”

"Okay, okay I'll be sure to write a strongly worded email about it that'll probably get moved immediately to someone's junk folder. That and maybe send you some art-related movie recs. If you really get into them and take notes, maybe you and I can finally leave this life behind for a good art heist." Elena beamed, always a sucker for compliments as she oh-so dramatically tossed her hair in response. "Yes, you caught me. This is part-time beautiful me, if I move to full-time then your eyes might literally melt out of your face if you ever look directly at me again. Safety first, Mike. Ah, you might have a point there actually, that does sound more our current brand. Don't worry though-," she placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a faux serious look, "If you ever get into a bar fight again, I'll be there to win it for you."

Is there a rule that says I can’t be both? Two is nothing, a drop in the hat. No, wait, that’s not the saying. A drop in the water. A drop in the ocean. Geez, maybe I should’ve gone to class more. Yeah, punish her, what if she ends up like me?

I think you'd have to Google that. Are you trying to sing that one song right now or...? I mean, I'll support it but only if you're planning on teaming it with a little dance number. [ laughs ] Good point. My email back will be very stern now. Thank you.

“Are you really trying to mansplain my own essay to me right now?” she snatched her paper back. “Look, I didn’t ask for your opinion. I just wanted to know if I got the date right.”

“Yes, you know you don’t actually get paid more to do that, right? Ratemyteacher might not have a direct link to your job security but I’m sure our boss would be super interested in your bed side manner,” Elena rudely and promptly interrupted. “I think you should just check that date and get back to admiring your reflection somewhere else.”

On one hand, that’s an A-plus pun, but on the other hand, they are cutting class. Though, how many have they skipped? Does the punishment fit the crime?

Am I in the presence of a diplomat or a former class-cutter? Well, she’s only skipped two so far which isn’t that bad. The pun may be a means to distract me from the slippery slope she’s headed down though.

“Do you reckon they’re skipping your class because of the lack of Monet as well?”

“The lack of Monet or lack of Mone-ey? Realistically I could add more of both but only one of them I think the school board would approve of.”

Mike couldn’t help but laugh, “See, I can’t really attest to the quality of the pun, because I got it and all I know about art is The Shinning looks really good and that the Monalisa looks like a picture.” He shrugged, “It’s a damn good pun, as far as I’m concerned, though. Maybe ask for a whole list of art puns and forgive one class they didn’t go to for every good pun they have? It’s like homework but fun.”

"I feel as if my own professors would judge me heavily if I didn't make some sort of dismissive noise or at least roll my eyes at your lack of art culture but since we're friends, I'll let it slide. Just don't tell them. Plus our Lady Lisa is way smaller in person. Honestly, hanging the tiniest lady in the Louvre in a room full of their largest paintings was definitely a power move. Oh! Now that is genius," Elena beamed, her hands clapping together just so before she let out a laugh. "Mike if you're going to be the brains in this friendship, I may have to stake a full-time claim to the beauty right here, right now."

“I… don’t get it. But, all of my favorite college professors either let me out early or let me skip days. So, it’ll definitely earn you some cool points.”

"That's alright, Detective. You had me at "cool points" anyway, I don't need any other convincing on the actual quality or accuracy of the pun itself. Monet isn't for everyone but he definitely wasn't as wild visually as Picasso. Plus, I see that skipping a few days here and there didn't do much to harm you."

You’re the educator here, you can do as you damn please. You know, if I had a professor like you I might’ve actually went to college.

Aw, darling. That is the nicest thing that anyone has said to me all week, student or otherwise, thank you. You should come and crash my classes just for the hell of it. And to continue to boost my ego, obviously. Do you like art? Or puns even.

[elenatorreshyphenrobbins]

Do you mind if I run something by you?

I’m wondering if it’ll make me less of an educator or professional if I okay the blatant class skipping one of my students is engaging in right now because of the pun in the email. “Why did the French art museum close? …Because of the lack of Monet.”

I mean, that’s so bad it’s good. Can I really justify dampening their creativity?

(NATHALIE KELLEY, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER) ~ Have you seen (ELENA TORRES-ROBBINS) around Aspen Creek? She is a (33) year-old (ART TEACHER) and has lived on the (NORTH SIDE) for (FOUR YEARS). She is a (LEO), so she can be (CREATIVE), but also (INDECISIVE). I heard that she (HAS BEEN CHEATING ON HER WIFE), but that could just be a rumor started by the hacker.

“Maybe we’re just in love with the idea of being loved.”

+ focused, sensible, creative - indecisive, stubborn, hot-headed

   She's a smol who is ready to fight at the drop of a hat! Even in the highest of heels which she never leaves the house without and you can bet that she's going to say pretty much anything on her mind outloud. Outgoing, charming and you can't help but be pulled into the Elena Bubble; she's the most Leo. Wants to be friends with everyone.

   The biggest flirt to ever flirt but yes, she's married.

   An art teacher at Aspen Creek's college, she loves the outlet to be creative and mold young minds; she just wishes she had that kind of freedom in her own work. But bills and mortgages came around and her romantic dreams of being a full-time artist living on the road were pretty much crushed. She writes her own music part-time and yes, she is responsible for that one TV jingle you can't get out of your head. It brought in the big bucks.

   Elena was young and foolish when she got married, enamoured by the romance of it all and not at all aware of the work that went into a partnership. She followed the rules her whole life– even when she thought she might not be happy in her marriage anymore– until she kissed someone else and ended up tumbling into an on-going affair.

   The idea of leaving her wife, a relationship she poured so much of herself into, her whole life even, is terrifying. So she puts it off and she feels painstakingly guilty but she doesn’t stop. She should stop, but she doesn’t. And she knows that the longer she lets it happen, the worse it’s going to be in the end. She loves her, she does but...

Wanted connections and more info to come!

Y’know, I don’t think I’ve ever been so disgusted in my life. I may be little bit nerdy, but even I don’t see the purpose of having sexual relations in a library– certain parts of it are so dusty, I don’t even get near them in case I choke to death. Are you suggesting I turn the library into some kind of brothel? 

Hot nerd, you always have to add in the ‘hot’ part. You have to own it. You also have to never ever say ‘sexual relations’ again, okay? [laughs] Oh my. I don’t think I can argue with imminent dusty choking death during sexual relations so... Fair enough. There will be no brothel today. But how about a drink? I promise it will not end with you and some no-named gal in the dusty arms of the library.
