cillian glanced down at the guy’s passport – benjamin’s passport – for 0.5 seconds before sliding it back across the counter. he hadn’t even really caught hte year. he was far too lazy to do the mental math to determine how old the guy was anyway. he was definitely older than 21 and that was all that mattered to cillian. “all good, benjamin,” he said with a grin. “let me get you ringed up.” cillian made a show of glancing back down to the lighter display that benjamin had yet to make a selection from.

He pulled a slight grimace at the use of his full first name. He hated how pretentious it made him sound, almost as much as he hated the roman numeral in his name. “Please mate, just call me Ben.” He grinned as they started to ring his stuff up, “so fair is fair then, what do I get to call you?” He lent forward on the counter as he took his ID back, “or when do I get to call you?” he teased before sending a wink and laughing as he stood back up. The small interaction doing wonders to distract him.

     ellie chuckled. “no, i’m not. just teasing.” she replied, tucking her hair behind her ears with one hand, charlie firmly held up by the other. “oh my god, look at what ben brought you !” ellie told charlie as ben showed her the teddy. she grabbed charlie’s little hand and directed it to the teddy, wanting his gaze to follow. the young woman pressed a kiss on the top of his head, squeezing him a little tighter, heart bursting with love. “yes !! i would love that. burgers are awesome.” the girl walked up the stairs over to charlie’s nursery, careful to hold him properly. “i unboxed it but that’s about all i did.” 

Ben followed inside with a smile, glad that his plan worked out well and the woman seemed happy with his gift. He looked over the pieces and nodded his head as he took it all in, spotting the instructions next to the pile of tools he walked over and grabbed the booklet, flicking through it. “Alright I see, this shouldn’t take too long.” He put the paper down and started searching for the first pieces he’d need. “So how have you been? How’s the little one?”

Do you think Ben ever just drinks out of his prosthetic leg??? Like skip the glass and use the leg instead.

“Fuck, if I were Ben I would totally do that. Who wants to do dishes after getting wasted anyway?”

cillian grinned. this guy seemed pretty cool after all. cillian grabbed the tobacco of choice and set it on the counter before pushing the small display box of lighters towards the customer. “got a lot of nifty novelty lighters to choose from,” he said. “i like the one with the big pickle on it, but the choice is all yours.” he caught site of his manager eyeing him from the other end of the store and sighed. “and i gotta see some ID. for the tobacco.”

Ben started eyeing off the novelty lighters, noticing some funny designs but also some cool colour combinations, his hand was hovering above one when he smirked and looked up, eyes darting to follow the workers as he noticed the manager and nodded. Explains the sudden interest. He stopped and pulled the wallet from his back pocket as well as his passport. “I wasn’t sure if you guys take international licenses, so I brought my passport too.” The Aussie slid both over on the desk, the twenty five year old could have been frustrated. But he knew this guy was just trying to do his job. “Feast your eyes mate.”

     while it was true that ellie still called allister whenever she needed something done around the house, sometimes it got too much to have him around. though she was starting to really move on, distance had been key to really feel like the wound was starting to heal. the young woman welcomed the other into her house, holding charlie in her arms. thankfully the little guy was having a really good day, he’d actually been quite peaceful all day long. “hey. yeah, it’s nothing too big.” the girl said, waving a hand and closing the door behind him. “i bought this little bookshelf for charlie’s nursery, but it has a bunch of little pieces and i can’t leave this one unsupervised for that long.” the girl chuckled. “think you can handle it ? i’ll buy you lunch in reward.”

Ben smiled as she talked, a bookshelf was nothing he couldn’t handle. “Are you questioning my abilities Ellie?” He grinned before nodding, “I can handle that. Oh, and this.-” He trailed off as he held the teddy up to show her, giving it a little shake, “is for Charlie. It looked soft and cute, so I thought he might like it.” He held onto it, seeing her arms were full already. “Think we can do burgers for lunch?”

cillian couldn’t help but grin when the australian responded in his own corn american accent. the guy was alright. “honestly? i don’t know too much about rolling tobacco and i’m also kind of shit at my job if you can believe it,” he admitted, his smile widening. “but i do know that people usually prefer this one,” he said, pointing at one of the more popular selections among customers on the shelf. “never tried it myself though.”

His mouth jokingly formed a small ‘o’ before he put on a dead panned face, “honestly mate, you had me fooled.” He managed to stay serious long enough to deliver the line but then chuckled after, showing he really meant nothing by it. He ran a hand through his hair as he sighed out, “I mean there all much for muchness hey? Yeah I’ll just grab one of those then.” He flashed the man a grin, “oh and a lighter too please. How’s your day been?”

Closed Starter: @ellicfm

Location: Ellie’s house

Ben knew that if he wanted to he could go back to practising law at any point. The problem was he didn’t want too. It’s not like he needed a job right now, he still had access to the family account and his parents are sending him weekly brines to try and entice him to go home, but Ben wanted to be able to say ge could make it on his own. He also liked staying busy which is why he often took up odd jobs. One of these included putting together flat pack furniture for other people. He didn’t mind it, it was a chance to make some cash, he was able to use his hands and often have a chat with people. Which was nice being so new to the country. Today he was putting together something for Ellie, he wasn’t sure what though, but it wasn’t the first time. She’d hired him before and now he was just the furniture guy, but he enjoyed spending time with Ellie which is why now he wouldn’t take her money. He stood at her door holding a small teddy for Charlie, Ben had zero to none experience with babies and wasn’t even sure if he was old enough to like a teddy, but he saw it and thought it was cute. He knocked on the door glancing around before it opened and he greeted the blonde with a grin, “hey shortie. What have you got me building today?”

cillian was still trying to recover from his rather painful brain freeze. he placed the pad of his thumb against the roof of his mouth and that helped some - it was an old trick his mom had taught him when he was little. with that taken care of, he returned his attention to the impatient guy with the thick australian accent standing at the counter. “well g’day there, mate,” cillian said cheerily in a bad attempt at imitating an australian accent. “sorry to tell yah this, but i don’t think i’ve got your poison,” he said, slipping back into his normal speaking voice as he rounded the register. he glanced up at the variety of different brands they had on display, and sure enough, there was no port royal in sight. “is that some kind of foreign shit?” he asked, looking back over at the guy.

He drummed his fingers on the counter as he watched him round the counter and smirked as he watched him try to get rid of a brain freeze. He was very familiar with technique himself. He scoffed and rolled his eyes at the imitation of the accent. He hadn’t heard that one before. “Ah shit.” He said as he brought one hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose and his eyes squeezed shut. Of fucking course they wouldn’t have it, just his luck. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, “yeah I guess so, buddy.” He did his own attempt at an American accent which mediocre at best. “I’m just looking for a decent enough pouch of rolling tobacco,” his regular accent came back as he talked. "You wouldn’t happen to have a recommendation would you?”

It takes a while but Eevee’s father finally trusts her enough to venture out on her own. She doesn’t blame him, though, nor is she really annoyed whenever he asks where she’s going and insists that she has to have someone with her at all times. There was a chance that he could have lost her and after dealing with her mother’s absence, she’s not quite sure how he could have taken it. His wife would probably help him, but she knows her dad – or at least she hopes she does – and she knows that the loss of his only daughter might have been his tipping point. She’s only grateful that she’s come out of the accident unscathed – the whole memory loss thing notwithstanding.

Eevee doesn’t know how long she’s zoned out but she’s snapped out of it once she feels someone’s shoulder bump hard against hers. The latte she’s been holding splatters between them and she tries really hard not to yelp in pain as the scalding brew hits her skin. “Fuck. That was literally my first time trying pumpkin spice anything – I think. Well, the first time I’m going to count anyway,” she pouts. “Now I can’t appreciate fall properly. Thanks, man.”

[johnstonivb]

When Ben had his earphones in he tended to be in his own little world. The volume was turned up so loud that the voices and cars surrounding him were nothing but a mumble. He was eating a burger trying to get across town for another odd job he was taking for cash when he felt someone knock into him and he watched his burger fall onto the floor, his heart dropped when the top bun fell off and rolled a little. “Fuck.” He cursed and took his earphones out, head snapping up to see who he’d run into. He shook his head as he talked, “relax princess. Look at my burger, I’m clearly the real victim here.” As he talked one hand rose and was gesturing at the crime scene on the floor. He paused for a moment before glancing at her. “Was that a hot coffee though? It didn’t land on you did it?” He was upset about his burger sure, but still didn’t want to be walking around burning people.

[cilliankelly]

cillian was busy cleaning out the icee machine. it wasn’t the worst part of his job, but it definitely wasn’t the best either. he really wouldn’t mind at all if the thing wasn’t so goddamn sticky. this afternoon had been pretty boring and they’d been slow as fuck all afternoon. it was the mind-numbing boredom that made him decide to stick his head under the icee spout and attempt to funnel the sticky bright red fluid directly into his mouth. needless to say, it was a huge mistake and he was now suffering the worst brain freeze he’d ever experienced in his life, the red beverage dribbling down his chin and all over the front of his uniform. whoops. he heard someone clear their throat loudly at the counter, signaling that they were ready to pay. “yeah, yeah keep your shit on,” cillian shouted, grabbing a handful of napkins and dabbing at his face. another day another dissatisfied customer.

[johnstonivb]

Ben had had a long day, and to make it worse it even included a phone call with his parents. Something that was always painful and quite frankly disturbing at best. He stopped by the convenience store grabbing a few different bags of candy, before heading up to the counter to buy his tobacco. He was on edge and noticed the man working wasn’t paying attention. He waited a moment not wanting to be rude, he saw the man was busy but fuck Ben needed that cigarette. He cleared his throat hoping to catch his attention, he raised his eyebrows at the response and couldn’t help a small smirk. “Sorry to interrupt your machine wrestling there mate.” The sarcasm practically dropped from his words as he placed the bags on the counter, “but could I get a 50g pack of Port Royal? Please.” He added the word last second, not wanting to be too rude even in his desperate state.

Did I eat so many sour skittles I made my tongue bleed? Yes. Do I have regrets? Nope.

Quentin had just finished up in the studio for the day and had stopped at the gas station to grab a six pack and some snacks. He was covered in sweat and smelled of marijuna, but he didn’t really pay too much mind to his appearance. He walked into the chip isle and scanned the racks for something that might quench his cravings. Being indecisive wasn’t always a bad thing, especially when it caused him to meet new people, but right now he had hella munchies. He gazed over at the person standing next to him as he spoke out loud to himself and then smiled when they noticed him. “Crunchy or puffs?” he asked. “Normally I’d go with the puffs. Their always the better option. But, I’m kinda feeling the crunchy” he chuckled. “What do you suggest?”

[johnstonivb]

When Ben was told that he could buy beer at the service station he had to go check that out. The fact he didn’t have to hunt down a bottleo at night anymore had him excited to say the least. He was stocking up on six packs, grabbing a few different ones to try and see which American beer he liked best. He then moved to grab some snacks and smiled when someone turned to him. He was a chatty guy who liked to make friends. He hummed in response, “I’m not sure. I reckon the puffs are better, but if you’re after the crunch then go for it!”

[jakepeyton]

𝕵ake 𝕻eyton had well and truly fallen off the wagon. Was that the saying? He wasn’t sure, but the past few weeks he had been needing more and more to numb the internal pain that he was always in. Plus, the physical pain was getting bad again too. Before now, Jake had been able to more or less hide his leg impairment. He hadn’t used the cane for years, and the limp had slowly faded, but now it was back because the pain… Oh, the pain. IT kept him up at night, a heavy hit the only thing knocking him out. That’s why he was in the park so late at night, he had arranged to pick up from his dealer and he had just done that before turning and noticing eyes on him. “What?” Jake snapped, leaning forward a little as he stuffed the smack bag into his jacket pocket. “You think you’re so high and mighty you can just judge everyone? You got something to fuckin’ say?”  

[johnstonivb]

Ben was finding it hard to sleep at night, and rather than drinking all night he thought it’d be good to go for a walk or run. He had gone through a lot of rehab just to be able to walk again, and now he was able to run as well and it filled him with a sense of joy. But he got tired after a while as he was still getting use to the metal weight while running. He stopped in the park, taking a break when he heard someone snapping at him, he hadn’t even really noticed the man before that. “Something to say? Mate I just fucking got here, whats your problem? You want to be a tough guy huh?” He stood up straighter, squaring his shoulders, trying not to let the pain show on his face. He didn’t want to fight the guy, but who the fuck did he think he was trying to call him out.
