hart.

Masquerading as a man with a reason I want you to fall asleep craving the feel of my skin against yours. The way our bodies curl in sync and warmth overtakes the room like a sauna. I want you to wake up in the morning so desperate to hear my voice. Lucas Hart 34 [ owner of Hart Motel ] Salem Warrick 35 [ music producer ]

“Thank you! There's always this huge, glaringly obvious problem that they're ignoring, but somehow bringing up a million other little, stupid things! Like, I don't care that your decor doesn't match, talk about the fact that one of you wants kids and the other does not!” She smiled apologetically, head shaking. “I'm honestly, like, so bad at checking my phone for anything other than texts and phone calls.” Part of working a busy schedule. “But tell me, I'd love to learn.”

[hcmebound]

"Yes! It's always a huge issue they just don't even see, and then they're fighting like this will never work because you like the color blue and i like the color pink we're just not compatible!" He shook his head. "You remember that couple, shit, I think it was season 1...Maybe not. But she was so crazy obsessed with being older than him she brought it up every time she spoke. And it was such a non-issue for everyone in their lives." "Okay so Alexa and Brennon got divorced even though they just had a baby. Apparently it seemed a bit messy. Amber and Jordan apparently broke up shortly after their wedding last year. Not real news to anyone. That's fresh. Lydia and Milton also broke up this year. I know Matt and Colleen also split up officially. Ashley and Tyler from I think season 7...." He tried to think of any one else he heard about this year. "Dude, did you know apparently they cover up to a certain amount of divorce costs per couple...or counceling."

“Lucas!” Loud voice filled the space above mindless chatter, both of Winston's hands lifting into the air with the greeting. “Long time no see, man.” Leaning one elbow against the bar, he clapped Lucas's shoulder with his free hand, grin sharpening. “What the fuck is up? You miss me yet?”

[hcmebound]

"Winnieeee," he sang out, grinning at the other. "Do I miss you? Do I miss you? Do I miss you?" Lucas kept repeating it with different inflection. "You fuckin' know it, dude. You miss my pretty face," he batted lashes, leaning over towards him.

“it's  funny  …  you'd  think  folks  would  be  nice  when  they're  getting  paid,  but  money  ain't  out  here  buying  character.”  they  sigh.  it  would  be  an  unfortunate  time  when  this  no  longer  aired  with  this  cast.  they  tend  to  get  emotionally  attached  to  those  they  watch,  to  the  point  of  shouting  at  the  television  and  telling  them  their  exact  opinions.  “alright,  stells  and  fil,  make  some  magic  happen.”  day  claps  their  hands  in  a  false  prayer.  “make  us  believe  in  love  again.  it's  already  hard  enough  in  this  day  and  age.  freaks  me  out  to  scroll  on  tinder,  it's  like  a  hot  mess  of  a  twitter  situation  but  like  …  worse,  y'know  what  i  mean?” 

[hcmebound]

"Indeed, my dude. Indeed." He nodded. "Tinder is the worst. Or that Bumble Bee, Grindr, whatever the hell is out there for people. They all suck ass." Lucas just wanted. somebody to come home to some days, someone to talk to at the end of work to make cute little dinners with and giggle with. To have kitchen dance parties with, to scream at the TV over how ridiculous dating shows were. He just wanted somebody to make him feel loved on the days he felt alone.

"So there's book people, right? And movie lovers/goers. One hates the other but what about right in the middle?" Reece questioned. He'd been stuck between an argument with a few friends out of town and it's been on the top of his mind throughout the day now. "What do you call those people?" @ciderstarters

[hcmebound]

"What the hell are you going on about? You mean people?" Salem rose a brow at Reece with a shake of his head. Surely there wasn't a name for everything. Sometimes people were just people. There didn't need to be a name for every single thing. Right?

"i should have travelled by plane, my gosh." alijah pouted, mildly complaining out loud. a five hour drive was killer and she could not remember the last time she had driven that far before - there and back. "car rides just won’t do." maybe she was getting old. that thought sent shivers down her spine. absent mindedly she touched her face with her finger tips. looking over at the person in the vicinity, her brown eyes filled with emotion. "oh please oh please put me out of my misery. or better yet go have some ice cream with me, my treat?"

[hcmebound]

"I don't think I can put you out of your misery, but Im not going to say no to free ice cream I suppose. Why were you driving far enough to fly anyway?" Salem at least assumed it was far enough to fly. There were plenty of people that would probably take a flight to save a 3 hour drive even.

Who: Open to all @ciderstarters

Where: Anywhere in town

When: Afternoon

Now that the weather was heating up, Jason couldn't wait to skate around town again. As he was skating to get something to eat, he noticed someone stepping into his path. "Hey watch out!" he called as he swerved to avoid hitting them. Jason came to a quick stop, kicking up his board. He pulled out his airpods as he spoke to the person. "You good?"

[hcmebound]

"What the fuck?" He stepped back out of the way, but just about spilled his coffee over himself. It was the last thing he needed today. Some guy who didn't even pay attention to where he was going, just off running into people.

[fcreverlasting]

"Exactly! Glad we're on the same page." Grace shakes her head, lips pulled tight, knowing. Then rolls her eyes. "Are you, though? Because it's sounding a lot like you aren't. It sounds like you're invested." It would make sense to her, that he's susceptible enough to fall for all that given that he's foolish enough to think he'll ever come out on top of whatever this war between them is.

[hcmebound]

"Please. As if you aren't delusional." Her life couldn't be rainbows and butterflies. Something had to be less than perfect in her life. Literally anything. He was just hoping at least. If it wasn't? Just a reason to hate her more.

[fxdedmoon]

"You know what they say. What happens in Vegas..." he joked. There was truth to the expression. He grew up a short car ride away from Vegas, so he knew better than anyone. "Turns out the State doesn't just grant those willy-nilly. We never lived together though, which made things easier."

[hcmebound]

"Weird, man." He sipped on his milkshake. Lucas had never been married. Not even remotely close to having a relationship last long enough to think about proposing. At least he assumed he'd be doing the proposing and not the other way around. The idea that anyone would want to propose to him? Non-existant. "You think about getting married for real one day or nah?"

[fcreverlasting]

Do what? Better yet, does she care what he thinks? No! "What do you mean, the fuck does that mean? It means you're shallow and stupid, stupid." To think this animosity had all grown from a box of cereal— Grace could hold a grudge like no other, plenty of people around town could accede to that. "Television is boring enough as it is," why would she want to be sat in front of a big box over dancing the hours away with friends, or sipping cocktails between gossip shared? "Without it being 'real' fake people playing it up for gullible people like you."

[hcmebound]

"Yeah, cause I'm the shallow stupid one," he rolled his eyes. It wasn't like Lucas to normally hold a grudge. Normally he didn't care. But there was something about her that got him petty. "I'm well aware that reality tv isn't real." He knew it was played up, but that didn't mean his emotions didn't get the better of him when he got into it.

[fcreverlasting]

"Oh, that's cute!" She gasps, already thinking of the sweet motel cat. "I miss him; I should come see him sometime soon." That's how she'd found out he enjoyed crafts in the first place, spotting him at the counter after saying hello to the cat she'd followed in. "I think I'm going to make this for my dad." After all, she has enough artwork of her own around her own house, but she hasn't gifted him anything homemade just for the fun of it in a little while. "He loves Louis Armstrong, so I was thinking it'd be fun to make one about him. Won't be anything he doesn't already know, but..."

[hcmebound]

"That's a cute idea. I'm sure he'll love it even if he knows all the shit in it." Lucas didn't think about making one about a celebrity of sorts. He assumed it had to be personal. It wasn't like he had anyone to really give it to either. Maybe a Disney one for Layla. That seemed too personal though. So...a little zine on Josh seemed like a good idea. Helped form some motel lore maybe. "I'm sure he'd love a visit from you."

[rainbowxsouls]

"That's what my degree say." Tabby joked right back. But is answer didn't make anything clearer. Then again, cats could be weirdly picky about food sometimes. "Hm, maybe he has a dental issue, like the food is hard to eat? Or maybe the food is too close to something that annoys him? Toppers are powders or gravy that you can put on top of wet or dry food to make them more enticing to each. Sometime you can use them as a way to get more water into a cat's diet." She explained, grabbing a few sample packs of those "soup" toppers they sometimes used at the clinic. "Maybe he just wants you to eat with him? Sit and be a family? Cats are very social creatures."

[hcmebound]

He thought about what she was saying, nodding softly. "I could probably try that out. See if he'll go for that." Maybe Josh was just going through something and had some issues. When she said that maybe he wanted somebody to eat with, he suddenly felt like a terrible father for not eating with him. "I could sit and eat with him. Maybe that's it." He could put some of that soup stuff on his dry food and change his own dinner/snack time to eat with Josh instead.

[offkeykisses]

"Mmm reality TV in general just isn't my thing." They thought it largely brought out the worst in people in a way they didn't care to sit around and watch. "But to each their own, you know?" Elvira nodded. Sometimes it felt like there weren't too many extra interesting things someone could get up to in a town this size. "That's just my face. You know how some people have resting bitch face? I got stuck with permanent sad face." There was the smallest hint of humor in their tone as they briefly deflected. "People in town are just extra irritating lately. Must be something in the water, or they've been replaced with extra weird alien versions of themselves."

[hcmebound]

"Not everyones jam, I get it." He just used it as background noise and then sorta never looked away. When she commented on a 'resting sad face' he frowned a bit with a small hmph. "Maybe the water supply is tainted and turning people into alien versions of themselves," he countered. That could happen, right? Sounded awfully plausible to him.

[stcrmclouds]

giving  an  unamused  look,  she  already  assumed  the  show  was  disastrous  but  that  was  the  point  of  reality  tv,  right?  to  be  entertaining?  clearly,  lucas  seemed  especially  entertained  by  it.  “uh-huh.”  she  spoke  as  if  she  knew  the  difference  between  the  australian  and  the  us  versions.  “so…  you  watched  both?"  she  inquired,  before  moving  on.  “okay…  and–?”  although  jennie  knew  that  was  an  issue,  she  didn't  plan  on  backing  down  from  her  original  statement.  “i  think  she  deserves  to  say  what  she  wants  to  say.  besides,  didn't  they  have  initial  meetings  before  getting  married?”

[hcmebound]

"What? No. The whole thing is married at first sight. They first meet, at their wedding..." he spoke as if it were obvious from the name alone. If they had met beforehand, there was way too many ways to say no and bail. The whole point was to get married then figure shit out. "I've seen bits of the US version, and only this season of the Australian, but... Crazy. shit."

[ilovethismood]

"They really do. There's a British grocery store in the next town over and they have the best snacks. I'm pretty much there every other week." Margot nodded excited to possibly get someone else as obsessed with those show as she is. "Yes it's so good! The twists and turns are so good because once a traitor is voted out, they add another in to take their place and it puts everyone else on edge. I binged the whole first season in 2 days because I had to know who would win."

[hcmebound]

"Shit, really? I may have to go get myself some snacks. Can't say that British snacks are what I'd go for, but I've also never been outta the country so I could be wrong I guess." Lucas wasn't entirely sure what British snacks even were as opposed to British food he had heard about. "Okay well, now I gotta add it to the list, for sure. That sounds crazy, but in a different way than Love Island kinda crazy."

#CLOSEDSTARTER  for  @hcmebound,  featuring  lucas  hart,  hart  motel’s  parking  lot.

at  the  familiar  sight  of  lucas  perched  on  the  hood  of  his  car,  a  grin  spreads  across  vada’s  face  as  she  approaches,  lifting  one  hand  in  an  enthusiastic  wave.  "  look  alive,  luke.  i’ve  brought  beers.  "  she  raises  the  plastic  bag,  her  grin  widening.  "  and  my  sparkling  personality,  obvi.  still  got  room  for  me  up  there?  "

[hcmebound]

Lucas was just enjoying a bit of time outside on the hood of his car when Vada came up. His lips immediately turned up into a grin. "Well, well, well. Look who we've got here." He slid over a little and patted the spot next to him. "What brings you by with treats? Whatever have I done to deserve such a wonderous thing?"

QUICK STATS ;; [ tw free ]

Grew up to a family of wiccan women who took the village approach to raising their children

His father was a music producer, around, but quite busy

Wasn't going to be given a free handout, went on a singing reality show - met Winston. Considered him a bff until the band got more and more popular. When he started to become more of a break out, plus a bit of sass - ended up punched in the face at the Grammys on stage. 

Dabbled a bit more in music but nothing more than singles put out here and there. Still does - but likes to produce music. Works on a lot of his own plus people he likes

Took a break for a while after the band broke up and traveled europe - met Nesrin - got caught up, asked her to marry him, brought her back home - decided they were better off friends. Still loves her to death but knows she's not his person

Bisexual (90m-10w)

Likes whimsy and magic, but in a lowkey kinda way. A vintage occult aesthetic surrounds his home but he doesn't actually know if he believes it works or not - just believes in nature

Loves a good pretzel snack (stick, twist, soft, any)

Thinks quite highly of himself the majority of the time

Cooks as a hobby to just relax and exist
