carmen was used to comments like that honestly, sometimes she would entertain them but most of the time she would give a fake smile and say no then continue about her day. today she was feeling a little sassy for once and this guy seemed to think lines like this would actually work on someone. she gave a smirk this time, "it could be if you play your cards right." now she grabbed her paper and pen from her apron and held it up. "you can start by telling me what you want."
Richard was fully convinced he would get some heat for that comment. He Rose a brow when she played along "I suppose this is a Casino. Though this is my first time at one..." he looked her up an and down landing on her name tag "Bloody Mary and Please Ms. Carmen, make it a double ?" He might have been a monster but his mother did teach him to have Manners "Whats something people like to do the most here?"
katrina didn't go to the gallery that often, it was usually when she had a free day from practice, hanging with friends or running errands, today was one of those days. looking at the artwork she was startled by the voice. "oh my god." she chuckled a little and shook her head. "sorry, i usually wear headphones but i was so zoned out i thought i was wearing them so hearing you surprised me." she also just had a tendency to over explain even when not asked. "i think it looks cool though, i don't really get it but it's cool."
"No! no Sorry!" He laughed softly with her. "I'm not used to it being so quite here I suppose." He nodded towards the art work "Its uh....its called 'pressure'" he put his hands up to move her a little "May I?" he gently shifted her a bit "If you look at it just the right angel you can make out the silhouette of the person in it..." While Leon had a great family and felt that love. Being an Artist wasn't easy and the pressure to make his family proud was always looming over him. He knew they would still love him regardless.

"what's chillin' my dude?" jesse asked as she approached asher from behind, poking him in the back. "you got anything new on the agenda or is this the most exciting thing happening in your life right now?" what was said exciting thing? probably nothing they just liked to ask random questions when they run into someone.
Asher squawked when he felt her poke his back before a trail of soft laughs left his lips. "Not much, Trying to decided if I should Ruin my dads life or not...I know hes in town I just need to get the courage to talk to him" A smirk pulled at his lips "Yeah it is....at least I'm making friends in this Shit hole I suppose...makes leaving worth it in the end."
who: sadie and james
where: sadies place
@everyxthingxisxredx
had he fucked up again? maybe but when wasn't he at this point. james knocked on the door resting his head against it hoping she'd open the door. "sadie come on, i said i was sorry can you just open the door so we can talk face to face? please?" he kept knocking knowing that eventually she'd cave and open the door even if it was to tell him to fuck off.
Sadie rolled her eyes, going to the door setting her hand on the handle. She sighed, unfortunately James was her weakness and she began to open the door "Hmm, why because the sorry is going to be less fake if I'm seeing you in the flesh?" She shook her head "Seriously James, go away....I don't have time for this I need to get work done and you'll just end up distracting me" it was his fault she was involved in Citizen uprising in the first place.

Please! Excuse me..." He put his hand out for her to shake "I'm Hemlock Staker.....I've read some of your work, Its amazing!"
nicholas hoult / He/Him ——— no way is that Hemlock Staker.. they’re a 33-year-old Human notoriously known for being COWARDLY & QUITE but there are some people who have seen them being GENTLE & TALENTED. If you ask me, they remind me a lot of The smell of old books, cups of black coffee, all nighters, typewriters, Gothic Romance and foggy nights but that could just be because they’re considered The Horror Writer around town. just keep an eye on them & see if their true colors shine through..

Hemlock was always a shy boy growing up, his parents always encouraged him to do things out of his comfort zone but he struggled to do that. even as he got older.
He was always writing stories, mostly on a bit of scrap paper or in a book he was given for drawing. It didn't matter if the paper was blank Hemlock was writing in it.
He also was reading way above his level reading Stephen King's short stories in secret.
His parents soon realized while Hemlock was a sweet boy who was gentle and kind to whoever he met and came across he had a lot of dark thoughts and this was reflected in his stories.
they put him in therapy and while he felt like there was nothing wrong with him he still went.
and the doctor agreed that Hemlock was just a shy boy with a big imagination.
He wasn't very social in high school and one of the many kids who was a victim of bullying and ridicule.
He was a freaky Theater kid who also loved to write scary stories it was part of the territory.
He never dated in high school, the Idea of asking anyone out let along a pretty girl made him physically ill with anxiety.
but none of that mattered when his short story was picked out of hundreds to be published and sold in a magazine. Hemlock was only 17 at the time.
after this his career took off. He was offered a scholarship to one of the best schools for literature and on the side he was writing his first few novels.
before he even graduated college he was a well publish writer and less than a year after graduating he was offered a movie deal for one of his books.
that's where he met Bram. She was the girl of his dreams.....and also staring in his books movie adaptation.
While Hemlock tried his best to be professional, Bram on the other hand posed to be a challenge for him. She made it very clear that she was interested in him.
Hemlock took the plunge, he took her out for dinner after a day of shooting and it was the end of it. He took her home and lost his virginity that night to her after that night the two began dating in secret. Well.....to the public. Everyone on set knew. Almost too much.
by the time the red carpet came around the couple officially went public and the internet went crazy. after weeks of rumors they finally had the confirmation they wanted.
the two were a power house and it wasn't long before the announcement of an engagement was made.
they have been married since and are going strong 8 years later.
Billie flashed a quick smile at the last group of patrons as they made their way out of the tavern. "I know how to do a lot of things," she replied, only realising how suggestive that sounded after the words had already left her lips. Clearing her throat, she brought her glass to her lips and slowly sipped her drink as she watched him lock up, a cheeky smile playing on her lips when she finally joined him behind the bar. "So, what am I making for us tonight?" she asked as she picked up the empty shaker, tossed it in the air, and caught it in her hand. "Or do you want it to be a surprise?" For as calm as she sounded, she was acutely aware of how close they were to each other, the realisation that it was just the two of them alone together making her heart beat faster.
"Oh do you now?" Teddy could throw it right back, but he could feel the warmth move from his ears down to his cheeks. "All that time in College really changed you huh?" it was a Joke for the most part but he could tell she was more confident than the Billie he knew 20 years ago. He watched in awe as she tossed the shaker around a bit "ahh..." He was was bit thrown off, he knew Billie didn't have a reason to lie about knowing any tricks but....he just didn't realize how hot is was going to be. His hand slipped a bit as he leaned on the counter and he composed himself quickly. It was his turn to clear his throat now, "Surprise me...." his voice was bit gruffer "I'm going to see if there are any left overs I can heat up. I think watching those tricks of yours might just get me in trouble..." It came out almost on accident, A flirt he would have used on any normal day. But This was Billie, and now his face was getting bright red.
"I have something you might be interested in" Richard knew Finn had a thing for knifes like Richard did. and Frankie had given him some new things to try out. He thought what harm could come from sharing a bit with his friends. If he could even call Finn that. "We'll have some food and then I'll show you what I got in my car"
Where: Richards place
Who: Richard and Gage (@feastonkings)
"What have you been up to since I last saw you..." he chuckled leaning against a chair in his living room "seems pretty quite out there, I'm always looking for you in the paper, you know you're calling card is pretty noticeable Picasso"
Where: Frankie's Lab
Who: Richard and Frankie (@feastonkings)
"you get done what you needed to this time Frankie?" Richard didn't really care what Frankie had done to him or to know why she did what she did. But he did enjoy seeing her. She was like family to him even if she was a human. "Did you have any new toys for me to try out?" he bounced a bit at the idea of getting new weapons.
Where: The Kit Kat club
Who: Hyland and Zoreta (@allwiredwrong)
He frequented the Kit Kat club, it helped that Zoreta was good friend but the fact that Hyland couldn't help himself to a few drinks and some pretty dancers it was the perfect place to go to let off some steam after work "I don't know how you do it Zoreta, its always so nice here....and the drinks god you must be putting something extra in them"
Where: Collins Tavern
Who: Hyland and Capra (@allwiredwrong)
He was a regular at the Tavern, so he was shocked to see a familiar face come out from the kitchen and go to pick up some plates from a few of the tables "belnades! He said a bit more excited than he should have "Good to see you're staying out of trouble how are you doing since I last saw you"
Where: Coffee Shop
Who: Hyland and Brooklyn (@chaosandcrimson)
He was having his morning coffee when he noticed a girl waiting in line who looked very familiar not like she was his daughter or anytihng "Hey! I don't mean to bother but, you look awfully familiar are you on like TV or something?" taking a sip from his cup.
Where: The police Station
Who: Hyland and Iggy (@feastonkings)
He had gotten the call and he quickly made his way to the station. He knew exactly where they would be stepping foot into his office and took a seat at his desk. "Iggy, what happened this time why didn't you call your mom..." it wasn't that Hyland didn't want to help but there was only so much he could do at the end of the day "You know I can't always protect you when you get in trouble"
