His brows furrow a moment before he shrugs, shoulders slumping forward as he pulls the joint to his lips. “No,” he answers in a neutral tone. He wasn’t, it was true, although between the move and work; he had been rather tired lately.

    “As usual, keeping us all on the edge of our seats.” She teased with a small laugh as she brought her own pen to her lips. The silence that passed between them unsurprising. “At least you’re consistent.”

“Are you really set on choosing between those two?” Joonie tilted his head as he looked between the horns and the hat. “There’s so many other cute outfits. Have you seen the videos online of the ones where you put the front paws in to make it look like feet and then they have little stuffed arms on them so it looks like a little person standing up right? I love those. You can get little doctors ones! Or you could be a vampire and give him little bat wings! Awww.” His lips formed a pout as he thought about it fondly. “If you’re set on those two though, definitely the witch. That would be so cute.”

     “Truthfully, was only set on the cape so you’re definitely swaying me hear.” She responded with a soft laugh. Each of his suggestions making her more and more curious about the possibilities. “I know exactly what you’re talking about! Duckie would absolutely hate it, I mean he’s gonna hate all of them, but I definitely think he’d try to eat the stuffed arms in an attempt to free himself.” She explained with a soft laugh. “But I am liking the vampire idea, because I do love the bat wings.”

Hwan listened attentively, nodding as she mused on. He thought it was pretty amusing that she wanted to match with her pet. The little costumes were super cute in their own right. “How about the hamburger right there? Then you can dress up as like a waitress!” Hwan pointed to another option right beside her. “Though it’s not as fun as a cape and I think the cape would be cute. If you’re asking me, my vote is the witch. Cats are associated with witches! He can be your matching familiar.” 

     His suggestion had made Imani pause momentarily. All hopes set on a cape being cast aside as she now thought about her cat in a hamburger costume, and how adorable he would look. He’d definitely be a lot more angry with it, but it would make for a pretty great photo op. “Oh my god, and I can carry him around on a little tray.” She gasp, a smile coming to her face. “You’re like making this decision even harder than it already was my guy.”

“See, now you’re thinking. I love that. A little mask, and that little white hat that he wears. You’ll be the hit of all the houses.” Ethan laughed, picturing the pair in his mind. “Besides, what a good excuse to wear pink fuzzy slippers all night right?”

     “Not to mention my affinity to live in bikini starfish top mermaid man is always sporting. And Duckie would absolutely be so cute in that little hate. The trick or treaters are going to be embarrassed when they see how iconic we are, how sad for them.” She joked. “What will you be going as? i can only imagine something iconic with that big brain energy of yours.”

“Don’t tell me you need a cig. It’s my last one.”

@vestalanding·

     Imani held up her wax vape pen as she approached him as an answer to his question, before turning her back to the wall to lean against it. “I’m good. I prefer mary jane to nicotine, and always the mango flavor. You stressed or something?”

korra--sandoval-aguilar·:

Korra was sitting down with her head tilted regarding her roommates fashion choices. She took a quick sip of her gin induced tonic water, after all it was her day off and there was nothing wrong with a little shopping trip day drinking. “Okay” she finally nodded coming to some sort of conclusion, “how about you let him decide? Buy both and give it to him whichever he plays with means the chose? And the other one can be refunded.” Korra shrugged, “Either way he will look so cute with either one, I bet he would get all the candy if he went trick or treating”

     It wasn’t an idea she had thought of, and it’s clear by the way her head canted and her eyebrows raised. “That could actually work.” She mused as peered at the options once again, a deep breath falling from her lips as she continued to think about it. “What would I do without you my big brained friend?” She questioned with a light laugh. “I am afraid he’ll just walk over it, or not pay any attention whatsoever. But if I put treats down he’ll just go to the treat he likes the most, or the biggest piece...” She trailed off, catching herself taking this matching costume thing maybe a bit too seriously. “I’m sorry this is so not how you wanted to spend your off day, my bad.”

[imanidarbandi]

korra--sandoval-aguilar·:

Korra laughed at Imani’s noise complaint comment also raising her eyebrows, “Oh girl, we are going to have the best drunk karaokes in here.” The female moved to the fridge and got some coke out for the two of them, to keep the sugar levels up during the movie of course. She petted Duckie on her way over. “Oh yess I haven’t bought a new outfit in ages” Korra said rolling her eye for dramatic effect. “I just loved that crop top life they were living, wish my hair kept coming out perfect after I surf”

     “Korra, you ain’t said nothing but a word --- I have TLC’s entire discography on retainer for any and all karaoke parties.” She laughed though she was entirely seriously. If there was anything Imani was always up for it was always having a good time, even if she had to start the party herself. “The crop top life is the best one. Though coming from someone who exist solely in them, I guess that’s not surprising.” She offered with a shrug. “I’m so sad summer is over and now we have to dress to ‘keep warm’ --- sounds like a scam to me.” She joked popping a chip into her mouth.

 “Considering a cape and whatever else you put on your cat is probably going to last just a few moments before he rips it off… I think you should do with your gut and whatever you’d like to wear.” Gavin offered with a wave of his hand. ‘Come shopping with me’ she said. ‘It’ll be fun I promise’ she said. It had been fun five hours ago. Now, Gavin was tired and drained of energy. “Bat wings would be cute.”

     It was so easy for Imani to get distracted enough that time would fly by without her noticing. There were just so many things that tended to catch her attention and, just like when she spoke, before she knew it it had been an embarrassing amount of time. A fact that’s only brought to her attention by the way Gavin’s slight irritability was shining through. So even though she had about five more suggestions, and an argument brewing up over the wearability of Duckie’s cape she decided on conceding. “Bat wings would definitely be cute.” She agreed with a nod, placing anything witchy back in its place and taking hold of a Devil’s pitchfork before giving him a small smile. “Thanks for coming with me today, Quincy.” She offered as she led them to the registers. “How will I ever be able to thank you for spending the day with me? You name it.”

ethanbitty·:

Ethan turned to the other who seemed to be in the same predicament as he was. Which costume would work best for their cat. He nodded along while Imani explained the options to him. “Okay, but hear me out now, what if you guys didn’t match like exactly you know? What if he’s the devil and you’re the angel? Or your the witch and he’s….whatever a witches sidekick is. Wait isn’t a witches’ sidekick a cat? Okay, no. That wouldn’t work.” Ethan scratched his head in though.

     “No. Oh my god --- dude you’re totally onto something.” She mused as she thought about for a minute. Of course, he was right --- a witch didn’t really have a sidekick. But he’d just opened up a realm of possibilities. “He could be the Barnacle Boy to my Mermaid Man, I can make him a cute little mask!”

beccaforbes·:

Becca had decided to come to the shop to get some ideas for halloween costumes when she spotted Imani. Sensing she needed some help with  decision she had gone over to help only to be confused when duckie was bought into the picture. Confused as to what a duckie was she blinked a few times. “Um assuming that duckie is a pet here what kind is he? Please tell me he’s not a duck. Cause that name is not creative.” 

     “A duck named duckie.” She repeated with a soft laugh and a shake of her head. “No, no --- he’s a cat. A gorgeous gray little baby that I named after the most iconic character Duckie Dale, who was probably a little devil himself so maybe that’s the costume I should go with.”

[imanidarbandi]

     “I’m really torn between the witch or the devil.” Yes, she was buying matching costumes for herself, and her cat. Clearly she didn’t think it was weird by the way she was holding up a witches at and then the horns. Swapping them back and forth as if that would help her make the decision quicker. “Oh! If we do witches I can give duckie the little hat, and a cape and i can have the broomstick and maybe like a spellbook or something. But If we do the devil I can have the horns and a cape, and he can little bat wings and a cape. Either way he’s getting a cape so it’s a win win honestly.”

Hayley slapped her hand down on the bar. “Shots. Keep them coming.” Resting her head against the bar, she spoke out loud, not even caring if the person around her heard. “Did you know that Dungeons and Dragons is an acceptable first date? Because I sure as fuck did not.”

     “Dungeons and Dragons? No fucking way.” The surprise in Imani’s tone is emphasized by the way her eyes go wide and a smile reaches her face. “Holy shit, that sounds so much fun! Oh my god, who did you play. My go-tos are usually a half elf or a sorcerer. I tried to be a fairy but my DM is usually boring.”

“If you were an important key, where in this public park would I have buried you during a family emergency like two months ago?” Nic questioned out loud, as he gently lifted the dirt surrounding flower patches. He was full incognito, dressed as a gardener, since he’d gotten kicked out of the park the day before. Why would hiding treasures in public property be a crime, anyway? Laws were stupid.   @vestahqs·

     “....--- Nic.. I love you with my entire heart. But please tell me you did not burying the key to the place we had once shared in a public park?” Even saying the question out loud it seemed ridiculous. And also absolutely something he would do. “I could have been murdered!”

Chandler almost always used the self-checkout at grocery stores. Despite his enjoyment of parties and hanging out with people, he wasn’t naturally a social creature, and he hated small talk with cashiers. However, this particular store was locally owned and didn’t have any machines he could deal with place of an employee. And he had apparently chosen a very popular time to shop, as the lines had all merged into one, snaking down into the nearby deli section of the store. “Holy shit, is this really the end of the line?” He asked the person in front of him.

     To be honest Imani had been much more focused on the paint mixing videos playing on her phone. She hadn’t even realized how long the line had gotten --- almost made her wonder how many people had taken advantage of her distraction and simply moved in front of her. Not that she could blame them. “Huh?” She chimed as his voice broke her from her concentration. “Oh --- yeah, yeah I guess it is.” She said with a slight laugh. “I’ve been trying to guess what color the paint is gonna be in these paint mixing videos. Strangely addicting so I haven’t really been paying all that much attention.”

korra--sandoval-aguilar·:

Korra laughed looking at Imani, “I mean I arranged the landlord to meet you on Saturday, after you’ve signed the documents there will be nothing stopping us from making this a perm thing” the brunette raised her hands to be level with her waist and extended her fingers before reclining her head and doing her best evil laugh impression. “Okay,” Korra smiled, “Then I’ll take Gabriella’s verses” she said with a nod. “Omg, isn’t he just the cutest? But I mean I love them all, I love a boy that can bust a move” Korra did a little dance as she said it. “But honestly, I would watch it solely for Lela, her outfits there are so cute! I would kill to have that fashion style. And those pink hot pants!”

     At Korra’s mock laughter, Imani elicited some real laughter of her own. Head canting back as the sound filled the room. If this was how it was going to be living with the other girl Imani couldn’t get a pen in her hand fast enough. “Oh trust. Once he gives me the chance to sign everything, he’s going to wish he hadn’t. Noise complaints galore up in here y’know what I’m saying?” She teased with a small laugh, letting Duckie back down on the ground to explore his new home. “Pink hot pants? And a 60s style fashion? I think this calls for a thrift trip! Oh my god, we can make it a costume themed watch party. Showing up to show out in our best teen beach movie recreations. I’m loving this idea, aren’t you?”

Flitting around the room Ethan was finding joy in sneakily replacing unsuspecting mortal’s drinks with that of the punch made by fairies like him. His mischievous grin grew on his lips as he successfully replaced each one. Once noticing that someone spotted him Ethan shrugged, “what? It’s my birthday I can do what I want.”

     It was a peculiar thing to watch --- especially given the fact that she initially had no idea what he was doing. But once she caught on she was sure to hold her water a bit closer to her chest. “Happy Birthday dude.” She offered with a small laugh, as she held her hands up in defense.  “I think everyone celebrating a birthday should be given the chance to be a little shit for the night.”

Making her way through the party, Hayley smirked at the crowd of people, all with colored drinks in their hands. It made her laugh at how easy people fell pray to the tricks of the evening, even more so when she helped with the nonsense. Stopping at a table, she leaned against it and waved her fingers in an attempt to start a small fire to relax next to, watching as it grew to the right size, she smiled. “There we go. Perfect spot to enjoy the evening, don’t you think?”

@vestalanding·

     Imani had been having a pretty wonderful time up until she got halfway through the orange drink in her hand. Even with so little liquid left something began to tell her that if she shouldn’t finish it. That a terrible fate waited for her at the bottom of the bottle, so instead she turned it away. Wandering off to a spot that left the party in full view --- just in case. “Oh yeah. Or more accurately, best place to keep an eye for anyone who has in interest in harming me.” She offered as her eyes darted to one side of the room. “The dude in the football costume has crazy eyes don’t you think? I definitely think so.”
