Acelin had been up on the roof for the past twenty minutes, waiting for the party to start. These parties were always awkward, but it was a way to get free beer and waste the night away. He grabbed a beer from behind him, the beer he decided he would supply since he doubted anyone else would remember. He looked at Blake who had just walked up beside him. “Clearly you didn’t,” he nodded towards the box of cokes she set down on the table. “But, I was expecting this so I did. Here,” Ace said and grabbed another beer from behind him and set it in front of her. “I feel like we’ll need it tonight.”

Blake could have easily bought a case or two of Coronas, but she was already skating on thin ice after a close call the past month. She wasn't trying to get caught smuggling beer onto the roof. With a shrug, she dismissed it. "Yeah, well. I can't always be the supplier around here." She took the bottle from him and used her shirt to help her twist off the cap. "Thanks. Have to agree with you there." Blake took a gulp from the bottle - beer wasn't her favorite, but it definitely made her feel better when she needed something refreshing. "Busy week at work?"

"Beer? No, but I do believe I have something better." Richard answered, pulling out a silver flask from inside his jacket. He unscrewed the lid and took a small sip, proceeding to smile smugly. "Scotch, just as I expected." He murmured underneath his breath, as he held out the flask, shaking it slightly. "Well then, care for some scotch?"

Blake's eyebrows perked up at the sight of the flask. She knew better than to take drinks from strangers, but silver flasks had never really let her down. And if the guy lived in her building, she could have one of her co-workers take care of him, anyway. "Scotch? You have some taste." Blake grinned and reached for it, taking a sniff and a small taste before she took a nice swig. "That's pretty good. You know how to party, dude."

Ava stood alone in the corner of the rooftop, her eyes glued to her phone as she rapidly texted a co-worker. She was glad she didn’t have to talk to anyone as other tenants were busy mingling among themselves. “Anyone happen to bring any beer?” The female stranger’s voice filled the air, snapping Ava out of her train of thoughts. She looked up from her phone and stared at the female, wondering who her question was directed to. After a brief moment of silence, she realised the female was talking to her. She quickly composed herself, returning the female’s smile and taking a small step towards her. “Is anyone here even old enough to purchase alcohol?”

Blake usually didn't try to talk to people that were absorbed with their phones, but the girl was the closest person there and she figured she'd make some small talk before high tailing it out of there. The momentary pause was a little bit embarrassing. But she recovered. "Sure they are - not everyone in this building's college age, y'know." She chuckled and grabbed a coke, offering it to the girl. "And those of us that aren't can probably get it anyway."

Blake shoved open the door to the rooftop, a box of cokes in her hand. She wasn't a huge fan of get togethers with strangers - but there was always the opportunity for new customers. After putting the sodas on one of the flimsy tables, she smiled awkwardly at one of the people there. "Anyone happen to bring beer?"

"He’s a devil when he doesn’t get what he wants," she smiles, "You’re welcome to come in if you’d want? You’d just have to watch the toys and boxes, it’s going to be a slow couple of weeks unpacking." she sighed as they reached her apartment door.

[fvcknblake-blog]

"Ah, the truth comes out - she's talking smack about you, dude." Blake chuckled and looked at the sleepy baby, a grin on her face. "Uh - yeah, sure," she started, pondering it for a moment. She didn't really have plans for the rest of the day - she'd worked a bit earlier that week, and she didn't need to restock for another day or two. "I can stay for a bit." 

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

"I— think that’s why I was so terrified, I love my sleep and the idea of been woken up to feed someone horrified me." she shrugged, "But I’m glad he’s here, he’s my best friend." she smiles not realising how pathetic she sounded, but it was true, she dropped out of her senior year before she started to show and when her parents found out they kicked her out, he’s the only constant she’s had since she found out about him.

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake wasn't really fond of kids - it wasn't that she was cold hearted, she'd just never really been around many. "Sounds scary. I like my sleep, when I can get it." She smiled, a genuine smile. "Must be nice to have a built in best friend. I mean, you know you can trust him, right? Pretty cool." Blake had dated a young mother once - she'd bailed before she could meet the kid, though. She was never good at sticking around, and doing that to a toddler would have killed her. "I can't say the same for my cat. Sneaky little guy." 

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

Valentina smiled at the girl, “Oh right, shoot, I’m sorry, I’m Valentina. Most just call me Val or Alen.” she smiles moving her son around her hold out her hand politely, “And this little guy is Zachary.” she smiles. “He’s not to bad and he sleep through the night suprisingly.

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake had completely passed on the introduction - she was admittedly distracted by the quiet little boy. "Nice to meet you, Val. I'm Blake." She almost tried to fist bump the kid, but he looked sleepy and probably didn't have the energy. "Nice to meet you too, little guy. Yeah? I always hear horror stories about getting up at like 3am every morning. I just have a cat, but she fu - uh, wrecks stuff all the time like a toddler, so." 

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

"We did," she smiled, watching as the girl waved awkwardly, "Got here this morning, and yes, calm, for now, he has his good days and his bad ones. He’s just sleepy right now," she smiled rubbing his back gently.

"Nice. The neighbors are okay." She faltered for a moment - she wasn't sure how the new girl would take to knowing one of her neighbors was a dealer. But she was a good person. For the most part. "That's good. Most babies are always screaming, y'know? He's...cute." 

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

"Very, we’ve been furniture shopping and food shopping since this morning, haven’t we little man?" she coos at the baby, bringing him up higher on her him as he nuzzled her shoulder.

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake's smile was a bit awkward when the attention was shifted to the kid - she hadn't exactly been around many. "Yeah? Did you two just move in?" She acknowledged the baby again with a wave, as an afterthought. "He's uh - pretty calm, huh?"

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

Her smile dropped slightly, ”Yeah, a little.” she was prepared to be judged. It happened everywhere else, why wouldn’t it here?

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake followed her into the building, walking alongside her - she was a neighbor, apparently. "Busy day?," she asked, not exactly an expert at small talk. Her eyes drifted back to the kid again, and she gave a small smile. 

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

Valentina was too distracted by her son to notice the girl, only glancing up when she spoke, “If you wouldn’t mind.” she smiled softly, bouncing the child slightly.

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake gave her a short nod and pulled the door open, waiting aside as the girl walked through. "No problem. Looks like you've got your arms full."

[mcxine-blog]

Well— maybe I’m practising for the role of Sleeping Beauty, did ya ever think of that?

[fvcknblake-blog]

Are you an actress or something? 

[kaiarose]

Yeah he did! Which explains why I’m in your room, hiding.

[fvcknblake-blog]

You could have given me a heads up or something. Who was that guy? 

[theboxhq]

They just get in the way when I know what I want to buy. God, do I really look like that kind of guy? No, I work as a secretary for a publishing company. Where do you work? Barista or something?

[fvcknblake-blog]

Depends where you're shopping. I don't know - but the way you were talking about online shopping. Huh. That sounds exciting. Nah. I'm something of a freelancer.

[nataliatechs-deactivated2014112]

"Come my love, you need some sleep." She mutters to the crying child, smiling gently.

[fvcknblake-blog]

Blake glanced at the girl and back at the building's entrance. She was rude sometimes, but not completely heartless. "Uh - do you need help with the door?" 

[theboxhq]

I get fresh air. At night and when I walk to work. Sometimes I even pick up parcels and groceries. I do things.

[fvcknblake-blog]

That works I guess. I get not wanting to deal with people when you want to buy something. Where do you work, anyway? IT or something?
