Tripping, Stumbling, Flipping, Fumbling.

Weird… Weird dream.

Yeah, same actually... Hey, just for the record. We’re good. We are better than good, we are great. That dinner you promised? Let’s just let that die, yeah? Bless you for walking out on me, frankly.

“You should absolutely not tell anyone you heard this from me, because peddling the competitions product is supposed to be bad for business, but I think Rhonda’s coffee might be getting better. Lyndsy’s either has to step their game up, or sell out to Starbucks. Woah, nope, forget I said that, too. This is what happens before adults have enough pick-me-up in the mornings. Drink your coffee and stay in school kids.”

I do try to never show up empty handed, a lil something my mother taught me. Probably because I kept trampling through flower beds and written apologies weren’t gonna cut it forever. [ laughs ] Well, thank goodness for that. I caught a lucky break and so did your calla lilies. Beautiful choice. —Absolutely, I’d love to. [ sliding on into the seat beside her ] Here’s hoping I can redeem myself.

Starting with a name, maybe? You can call me Isaiah or whatever you want really. I owe you that much.

Oh, so this is a repeat offence for you? Should I be turning you over to the authorities? Can’t be letting a serial trampler be allowed to roam free in Havensdale Valley, of all places! [ being all cutesie and playing with the straw in her drink ] Thank you, I’ll be sure to let them know you approve. [ stop talking about your flowers like they’re human, Holly, a handsome man is choosing to sit here, please chill ] I’ll keep you updated.

Holly. Whatever I want? [ don’tgivehimanickname, don’tgivehimanickname, don’tgivehimanickname ] Pulchritudinous. [ wtfstoptalking ]

So…. t h i s is Havensdale. I expected it to be sunnier.

Oh. My. Gosh. You’re Sebatian Matthews.

“Phalanges. They- They’re all called phalanges. Fingers, thumbs, toes. Phalanges.”

I just don’t know why we’ll need that many streamers. I’ve seen the venue, it’s not- it’s not going to fit all these streamers. [ sighs ] Not that I’m crushing the dreams of the prom committee. I’m sure it’ll all work out just fine in the end. Still- Look at this order form.

Oh, Paul... Don’t you know that this is the single most important event in the school calendar? We need all of the streamers. [ takes the form from him ] Looks pretty standard, if you ask me. Not that I would really, uh... well, I didn’t get to go to my prom, so... Anyway, as long as there’s money for it, this should be fine, right?

[hopeless-holly]

cole-atwolf :

Nothing like wine and gossip, am I right ladies? Leave it to Karen to plan such a lovely… shall we call it, soiree?

You- Oh, you’re talking to me? Karen, that’s Daniel’s mother, right? She did seem the type to be able to throw a wonderful- a soiree, you said? Do these sorts of events happen often here? I don’t really get to come out much these days.

[hopeless-holly]

kmcreid :

[ Lounging back on the front porch of the McReid residence, sipping on an ice cold lemonade, big sunglasses on and a thoughtful look on her face was Karen Moore ] Hmm… Is it just me or could the garden do with a bit of work? I definitely think the grass is growing in too fast and the paint is chipping off the fence! What will the neighbours think. Oh… If only there were some strapping young men around.

Yoo-hoo! Neighbour! Hi, hello. Can you tell me if the fence looks chipped from where you’re standing? Thank you. You’re a treat.

Oh, I’m not a neighbour, I’m just- Um... well I guess it is a little. You can definitely see another colour under there. My husband’s pretty good at painting if you... [ sees how pretty this lady is ] ever need one of his friends to come over and help you. One of his artist friends. The painters. We could just call you a professional painter.

But no, I’m actually looking for Daniel? Is this the right house? He ran into me and my shopping bags yesterday and he helped me carry my things home. He left his jacket and I thought I’d best return it to him.

[hopeless-holly]

stayuptil-dawn :

I already told you that the burn marks on my fingers are from a lighter I was holding myself. Any other information you’re going to have to come up with on your own. 

Alright, alright! I was just asking. Sorry for showing concern, you little brat. Consider cleaning and wrapping the damn thing. You don’t want it getting infected.

[hopeless-holly]

danny-mcr :

That’s what they call me. Wait, what? Hey, hey I think you mean almost no clothes on. But I can lose the underwear too if it’ll help, it usually does. [ insert inappropriate wink here ] 

Oh I plan to do all sorts of things with your melons… Except let them roll down the street. Damn, hang on. [ and off he went to scramble after those melons, making sure to show extra Booty when he bent down for them ] They lookin’ good?

No clothes, almost no clothes. When you’re out on the street there’s really no difference. I- Gosh, no. Um... No, no. No, no. You just- You keep those on, young man.

You- My-... [ blushy mcblusherson at the melon comment, then at tha booty ] Hmm? Oh, yeah. Uh huh. Looking good. Looking- Hmm.

[hopeless-holly]

danny-mcr :

Shit, shit, shit.

Move it, I’m coming through. Coming— [ Naturally almost going head first into a poor unsuspecting bystander ] Whoa! My bad, bro. You didn’t see anything, yeah?

Oh my god! Bags! [ and there they went right out her hands ] What do you think you’re-... You have no clothes on.

I hope you don’t plan on letting my melons continue to roll down the street?

[hopeless-holly]

theprodigaljennings :

Hey, I noticed your drink was empty so I went ahead and got you another one.

I’ve got a very perceptive eye for the brightly coloured ones. Plus I may have wanted to apologize to the pretty girl who was hanging out her window, yelling at my most likely inebriated self for standing in and on her flowerbed.

How am I doing so far?

Ah, he appears again with illustrious brightly coloured gifts. Don’t worry too much about it though, my peonies were very flattered that you chose them to trample through. They’ve had a bit of an inferiority complex since I planted the calla lilies.

Oh, I don’t know, how about you sit down and we can find out?

[hopeless-holly]

p-aulmacdonald :

Oh, they did? Right. Well, I’m sure I got the message across regardless. Yeah, yeah I’m doing just fine Holly. Just that time of the year again. I have a list of students I’m worried won’t realise they can do it and another I’m worried will burn out because they know they can do it. If it helps any, I’ll be back to my… uh, fun old self after finals? [smiles a wee bit] That was a joke.

Oh, I have no doubt. Ah, yes. I’ve yet to experience this rush. I’m waiting for exam day when people start faking illnesses to get out of taking the tests. Back when I did mine, some guy faked a heart attack just because he didn’t know the answer to the last question. I’m sure they’ll all be fine though. They’ll make it through and then we can go through it all again next year. [ laughs ] Well, I look forward to that day rolling around, but hey, if you need a break at any time, you know where to find me.

hayden-millstone:

Don’t you just love it when your earphones go on and get all tangled up and it takes you like thirty minutes to untangle them? I know I do!

Wow, it’s just the best, right? Only thing better is when your used needles get mixed up with the clean needles and you have no idea which is which, and oh my gosh, if someone overheard that I didn’t come off too well there. Nurse needles! Student jabbing needles! God, that’s not even better. It’s amazing I’ve not been fired.

[hopeless-holly]

p-aulmacdonald:

Alright, I’m going to have to insist you give me at least a minute before the bombardment of questions begins again.

Just the one minute, mind you. I wouldn’t want to hinder anyone’s education. It’s not as if I need to eat or sleep.

Warning you though, I’m a little low on the pep talk today. At this point you’re just going to get a vague thumbs up and a ‘hey, it’s only the rest of your life’.

Um... Paul? You know they left, right? Somewhere between ‘pep talk’ and ‘thumbs up’ they just rolled their eyes and got out of there. Are you doing okay? You seem... stressed. And usually it’s me that’s the stressed one.

hellsfavourite-angel:

Have things changed or…?

Do you still count the success of a party by the number of pairs of underwear that aren’t mine that are left around the house? Because if so, someone’s wedding was a fan-fucking-tastic success.

And not that I actually want to know the details or anything but if you did hook up, I sincerely hope it was in Lanie’s room because, well, someone should be hooking up in there at least.

People-... Okay, no. That is not how we count the success of a party. That has never been- what kind of parties have you been going to? Do you have any idea how unsanitary-? Have-? Please tell me you’ve thrown the underwear out? And gosh, clean all the sheets! Clean everything! Who knows what could be crawling around your things!
