happy to help the girl, pandora waved her hand holding the papers maniacally before realizing what she was doing. “if you’re going to keep my secrets i am more than happy to help you out,” she said with a soft smile. “oh, not at all. i was just on my way home from work. i just always seem to be walking quickly.” it was a known trait of hers. she barreled through crowds as if her hair caught fire. public spaces were not her forte. “i’m pandora o’malley.”

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐒 , feeling more relaxed now that at least there was someone on the busy street that understood her plight , ❛ oh don’t you worry , your secret is safe with me ❜ as if to prove this , she makes a zipper motion with her fingers across her mouth before she introduces herself , ❛ oh , sorry , yeah i’m isabelle collins and i really appreciate your help ❜

He thought about the information she was giving but honestly, he couldn’t find a better explanation without some more digging in the structure. “I see.. maybe” he eventually estated “what I can do for you is to indicate a company that works with old buildings, they come from a neighbor city, but they do a really good job and people usually call them when they have any kind of trouble”

𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐒 𝐏𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 , and she nods before looking back towards the hotel . luckily she doesn’t live in the building but on one of the guest houses to the property . still , she has to consider her own home, which is built much the same way and she asks , ❛ this is going to sound strange , but --- do you think you could check out my house too ? it’s all connected and i just want to make sure it’s safe to be inside . ❜

“No, Eleanor Grace, we cannot listen to Baby Shark just one more time!” Kipley exclaimed, looking down at the toddler who just stared blankly back at her, making a pinching motion with her fingers. Kip knew exactly what that meant, and that damn dreaded song was not making an appearance today. “Why don’t we listen to something that won’t make me want to jump in front of the nearest passing car, hmm? Why not The Lion King or…or the best soundtrack of all time, the Tarzan soundtrack. Those songs make Mommy want to dance, not die.” Ella still sat there, pinching her fingers together. Looking around, Kip stopped the nearest person to her. “Look. Please help me explain to this kid that Baby Shark has got to be one of the worst things to happen to music, in the history of forever, and Tarzan is possibly the best. I swear, she totally understands what we’re saying.” @shstarters

𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐌 , a mom friend , sure --- she can bake cookies sort of and make a damn good casserole but she does have a natural … nurture about her that she always figured came from growing up without her own mother around and tending to her father when she was around . ❛ oh , but look at what an angel she is --- ❜ leaning down , isabelle puts on her softest features before she directs her words to the little girl , ❛ the lion king is one of my *favorite* movies , do you like lions ? and birds with silly voices ? ❜ as she starts humming in the jungle in a dramatic way to bring laughter out of the baby .

It was obvious that eating it on the sidewalk was the least of the girl’s worries. Just as Gianna was about to dig in her bag for something to stop the bleeding, the girl cried out about the paperwork. “Oh –” Gianna jumped back to her feet, chasing the rogue sheets that were swept in the wind. Gathering them back up, she straightened them out against her torso before handing them back securely. “I don’t have tape or glue, but there’s a hardware store across the street that would. I can run and grab something if you want.”

𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 back into the usual softness that rests upon her cheekbones . with a kind smile , she waves her hand away as if to say that’s ridiculous and takes the other shoe off . ❛ i really don’t want to inconvenience you ❜ she tells the other , ❛ i’m sure i can just barefoot it home ❜ maybe .

hurrying down the sidewalk was never a bright idea. it always ended in some sort of disaster happening. so far, pandora had made it two blocks without running into someone. a personal record. it would have been if she hadn’t rounded the corner to be grabbed at as someone fell. trying to catch the girl as she fell, her hands on her upper arm, pandora noticed the tragedy that had struck the girl. “uh, i might hold on,” pandora scrambled for her bag looking for anything that might help. sure enough after a few seconds a tiny bottle of glue held victoriously in her hands. “thank god for breaking that porcelain jar at work the other day — unless you know my boss in which case that never happened.”

𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄 curves upon her features and isabelle is quick to extend her hand for the glue while the other moves to pick up the papers that had now sprawled all over the sidewalk . ❛ no worries , ❜ she promises , ❛ your secret is safe with me ❜ grabbing the heel , she begins to line it with the glue . it wouldn’t hold for long , but one could only hope that it would keep long enough for her to get back home . ❛ sorry , you looked like you were in a rush , i’m not keeping you or anything am i ? ❜

Watching as the woman went from dishevolved to complete diaster in a matter of seconds, the one thing that she was able to catch onto was Ben’s forearm to break her fall. While that might have been enough for others, it was clear that the true devastation hit considering the fact that one of her heels was tarnished and stuck in the crack of the sideway. A chuckle escaped from his lips, as it struck a nerve completely unintentional. He covered his mouth with a free hand to silence what she most likely thought was his enjoyment to her suffering.

“Shit, – that wasn’t funny. Well, you falling to your despair wasn’t but,” his eyes glanced down to the half of heel that looked like a pushpin between the pavement. “This happens so often that it’s rather comical,” he admitted, shaking his head in disbelief that yet again he witnessed the action. “Not on me but, – you can hop on my back to my place. There definitely has gorilla glue or tape,” he grinned.

𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 , 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐄 she peers up at the helpful stranger and offers a weak, but kind smile . ❛ i’m sure there’s a rule somewhere about taking piggy back rides from strangers , right ? ❜ she offers , an attempt to make light of her own situation . she looks back at the heel wedged in the crack of the sidewalk and leans to pull it out with a huff , ❛ this thing is really in there --- ❜ with an OH she yanks it free from it’s confines and nearly falls back again . perhaps if she were alone she’d cry but instead she offers a pitiful laugh to her own expense like ❛ this is really pathetic , isn’t it ? ❜ a question that feels more rhetorical than it should as she squeezes the piece of her shoe in her palm , ❛ good thing i’m not back in new york though , i would have been trampled for sure ---- but i may have to take you up on that glue or tape … something ❜

ftgianna‌:

Gianna had decided to spend her day off in town, knowing that otherwise she’d be cooped up in her apartment all day wasting time with bad cooking shows and documentaries. The first stop on her task of avoiding home was enjoying a fresh pastry from Bake It Off. Gianna had placed herself at a bistro table outside, yet remembered she didn’t grab napkins on her way out. After setting down her belongings, she spun on her heels to head back inside the bakery for a napkin, yet instead she almost directly spun into a shower of papers and another woman nearly falling to the ground. “— Ah, I don’t have either, but maybe they do inside? Are you okay?” Gemma asked, kneeling down to the stranger’s level. “Your knee is bleeding.”

𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐄𝐒 , yeah this may as well happen . hardly graceful as a child , isabelle’s knees are already all levels of scraped up from falls . the only reason she truly believes they’d gotten the chance to heal was because she’d become so engrossed in her music that she’d spent more time indoors than most kids her age . ❛ of course it is ❜ she sighs heavily , shaking her head . ❛ i’m fine --- i just , ❜ she looks up as a slight breeze comes , blowing a few papers into the air and catches it swiftly , reaching for another and missing , ❛ i can’t lose my papers ! ❜

“Fresh out.” Collins said as he released his grip on her from trying to steady the trip. He looked at the woman with amusement and gave a half smirk. He wasn’t too good at social interactions. He always said too much or maybe it was that he always said the wrong thing. Regardless, he decided to speak again because that’s what Collins did. “One time this happened to me. The paper thing,” He started as he helped her pick up some of the papers falling to the ground. “not the heel thing. Though I’d imagine it’s not very convenient. Anyway.” He shrugged and handed her back the stack he gathered. “It took me forever to get them back in order.”

𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 , she pouts ever so slightly before nodding in thanks . gathering up the rest of her paperwork she sighed once more in defeat and shrugged somewhat . ❛ yeah , i’m just having one of those days i guess , ❜ she looks back , the heel of her shoe still stuck in the crack so she turns to grab it , hobbling over to it like an injured animal , ❛ i don’t know what i’m going to do with these now . they were my favorite pair , the papers i can put back in order after i … hobble home i guess ❜

Benjamin listened to her, always ready to any demand, but deep down unsettled because it had not been the first call center mistake that week— they were supposed to warn what he should expect, not to mislead him. He signed, from afar, to his co-worker, so the other would wait for any further command before interfering. “You did the riht thing by calling, even if you are uncertain” he stated “Stay here, alright? I’m gonna take a look” he promised, before walking to the building. He noticed that there was no smoke leaving through any windows, which meant there was a low probability of fire considering that it had been several minutes since the call and such an old building would have it’s structure burned fast. Benjamin walked inside and disarmed the alarm before checking every single room. New systems would indicate to him from which area of the building the smoke would be, but that one was too simple for such thing. After looking every corner, Benjamin got back “Fortunately, I didn’t see any fire and the lights are working, so I don’t think it was cause by any short circuit” he said “has anybody smoked in the building? Maybe the detector is not well regulated…”

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 , and the entire time that he was in there --- she’d been thinking about what it could be . the building was old , her father’s contractor had told her numerous times that there would need to be plenty of work done in order to make it worth top dollar , but at the time he’d also told her nothing was of immediate necessity . he’d even commented that some people like the aesthetic , it’s how the purple orchid had stayed in business as long as it had . luck is how she put it , her father’s savvy , maybe . still , when she looks up at the man she shakes her head immediately , ❛ no , i mean --- i don’t smoke and there isn’t anyone else inside , we’re closed for the time being , i just got the place three weeks ago . ❜ a pause , ❛ do you think it could be the furnace ? the building is so old i’m not sure what year it’s from . ❜

“finally!” cyrus smiles his energy clearly electric as he sees them. “i’ve been waiting for you – you’re not gonna believe it.” he’s grinning from ear to ear childlike in his demeanor.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a spice shelf that has them in alphabetical order,” He said with a laugh, shaking his head. “I’m looking for, uh…” Off the top of his head, he could come up with at least five different ones he’d need the next time he got ready to cook. “Sage, rosemary, cumin, poppy seeds, and dill. Gotta stock up, don’t know what I’ll need to make my share of Easter lunch with the fam.”

𝐒𝐇𝐄’𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 , then again , she knows that she’ll be spending it alone . without any immediate family left and everyone extended seems UNREACHABLE in present she finds it hard to imagine an old fashioned easter dinner like she used to , ❛ what does one usually make for an easter dinner though ? i feel like my dad and i would always do a ham , no ? ❜

Precisely 10 minutes after the call, Benjamin had arrived at the given address. It was common that people would call because their pets were stuck somewhere or there was some not-welcome animal such as a spider, fox or raccoon in the city. He didn’t know exactly which situation he’d face right now, though, as he had problems with his radio in the way there and only heard part of the request. His colleague remained at the truck as he approached a person that had a cellphone in hands… probably the caller? it was the firefighter’s guess, anyway. “Evening. You made the call? What can I help you with?” he politely questioned. @shstarters

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄’𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 , she’d always lived in apartments besides when she was a kid -- she knows next to nothing about home ownership , or … how to take care of one . what she does know , however , is when the carbon monoxide alarm goes off ( it could be a false alarm ) that she needs that taken care of a.s.a.p , right ? ❛ uhm , yeah ---- i don’t know , the carbon monoxide alarm is going off and it’s a hotel , an old one , it could be a fluke but i just want to be sure ---- there’s … nobody inside ❜ they’re closed for business until the end of the season thankfully , assuming she reopens it at all .

“Yeah… Shakespeare’s plays tend to be pretty long. They take a few days to read… and sometimes you need to be drunk enough to process what that man wrote.” Mason agreed, laughing softly. “Exactly!” He pointed out his finger. “With a play that long, they shouldn’t have had a problem with producing a decent three thousand word essay. But instead I was presented with this… word vomit, that’s what I call it.”

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐃𝐒 , 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 and sets herself down in front of him with a small shake of her head . ❛ so --- ❜ she begins with a quizzical expression upon her features , ❛ what are you going to do about it ? doesn’t it look bad if you end up giving them all bad grades ? -- think , maybe if you give them another shot with a final exam instead ? ❜

“You and me both,” He said with a chuckle, shoulders rising and falling in a shrug. “I never pay attention when I start walkin’ around, honestly. Get too distracted by the fact that every grocery store feels like the Twilight Zone for some reason.” Sonny paused, moving his cart aside before looking at the spices as well. Did he need any? Probably not. But he tended to overstock his pantry when he got bored.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 , isabelle still can’t put her finger on the spice that she needed and was about to give up when she opts instead to question ❛ do you know what you’re looking for ? i swear , all of these different spices end up blending together to look the same once you’ve stared at them long enough . ❜ and hand waves in frustration , ❛ you’d think they’d at least put them in alphabetical order but no apparently that’s too much ❜
