brooklyn:

had it been a bad idea to leave her five-year-old son home alone?? maybe. but she was left home alone plenty of times at a much younger age and he had her phone number and that old ass lady neighbor living basically in the next door over. sure, she was new to this motherhood shit— - but she barely had parents and she came out fine. brooklyn parked her yamaha FZ-07 before whipping off her helmet and shaking out her hair. taking out a marlboro, she placed it between her lips as she learned against the motorcycle. she didn’t know what she came to the town center for, but she knew she couldn’t stay in that mildew rotting house, thinking about the incident. she couldn’t sleep, let alone think. this was the south, it was different than boston, different than new england. you had to be nice and shit. pulling the lighter from her tight leather pants pocket, she lit her cigarette. “ay, good morning. you care for a smoke??” a husky voice and exhausted brown eyes pondered to the first person who walked by, a smirk lining her tired features. “that’s how people make friends down here, right? i’m new, so, any help’d be wicked dope.”

"uh...no, no thank you." arden mumbled, scrunching her nose at the cigarette. she'd rather inhale paint fumes than smoke that thing. "i was gonna ask if you had any gum. weird question, i know, but..i ran out."

peaches:

“that.. that didn’t just happen…” peach stammered in disbelief, frowning as she looked over at the section of dead land on the property she grew up on.

"i..i'm glad you're okay." arden stuttered, glancing at her friend. "i hadn't realized the damage was..this bad."

aurora:

“Well, yes but I think there’s more to it. I know there is.”

"that's mighty optimistic of you."

theodore:

“you talk a lot of shit for someone who just blew out her knee because she got scared,” theodore quipped, tossing the slightly damp rag in the direction of her head. “yeah, yeah, laugh it up. i’ll be fighting you next.”

she raised a hand to swat away the damp dish rag, scrunching her nose up. "don't throw shit at me, that's gross." she could only hold the look for so long before one of amusement took its place, causing her to shake her head. "sure you will. it'll be the scrap of the century -- bartender versus sarcastic onlooker. we'd be internet famous."

theodore:

❝  hahahaha!” cackled the alexa device that had otherwise sat quietly atop of the bar that he was standing behind. theodore just about leapt out of his skin as he heard the maniacal sound, raising his fists as he jumped into defense mode. “did the robot just–”

"oh, yes -- hold your fists up as if you're going to fight the electronic device. it doesn't stand a chance against brute strength." arden rolled her eyes at his reaction, purposefully ignoring the fact that she had jumped enough that her knee had hit the underside of the bar. "if i were that amazon echo, i'd be terrified."

peaches:

“yours was terrible. mine was incredible,” peach corrected with a chuckle. “i am exhausted, as always. but its a happy feeling but you understand that, you take care of more people than i do.”

"mine wasn't that bad," she pouted her lower lip, only loosening up this much around peaches simply because they were close friends. "i had to make ten grilled cheese sandwiches this afternoon for lunches. ten. i can't wait to get out of florence."

peaches:

“don’t critique my performance! i was being serious. we’re over.”

"i am one hundred percent going to sit here and make fun of our terribly uncreative puns." arden grinned, soft, musical laughter slipping past her lips. "how are you today, m'love?"

lemon:

Lemon looked at the younger woman and shook her head. “I didn’t think any of it was close to funny.” She told Arden. She had a soft spot for Ophelia. She honestly had gotten under Lemon’s skin and her being publically humiliated was something that honestly bothered her. “We’ve all done things we wouldn’t want pictures to circulate from.” She said.

"right, right. not funny." arden nodded, folding her arms over her chest. "i apologize if my joke seemed insensitive."

persephone:

persephone nods, lips twitching as a smile threatens to break out at the cheesy joke.

“i just can’t believe ophelia would do that. she always seemed like such a sweet girl..”

then again she was pretty much the poster girl for ‘things are not as they seem’ she was anartist by day and stripper by night.

"you might as well believe it. with photo evidence, i'm surprised she hasn't been arrested for vandalism yet."

romeo:

“boo…” Romeo heckled, raising Arden a thumbs down as he shook his head. he even chucked a handful of popcorn in her direction.

"oh, come on." she swatted away the popcorn flying towards her face. "it wasn't that bad of a pun."

[fckarden-blog1]

aurora:

“I don’t believe Ophelia would’ve done it…Whatever is going on, I don’t like it. Whoever is targeting us, I just can’t deal with.”

"i hate to be the bearer bad news, but there's photo evidence that kinda proves that she did do it."

peaches:

“i’m glad i kept the receipt on our friendship,” peach teased, rolling her eyes at the joke that was made despite clearly being amused by it. “because i’m returning you as soon as possible.”

"ooh, that was a pretty good one. definitely an eight out of ten, with a bonus affection point for creativity."

solana:

“Arden…” Solana groaned, letting her head fall back. “Picturesque? Really? Is now the time?”

"would you believe me if i said that i hadn't realized i'd made a pun until after i had already said it?" arden asked, cringing slightly at her own awkwardness.

lucy:

“it sure was.” lucy smiled.

"i'm curious as to why she vandalized his car. like, there had to have been a reason."
