location: hugo's apartment

at any given moment hugo carried a look of both confusion and ease. most people that surrounded him were unsure of how he did it - what was running through his brain that allowed him to maneuver such a tight rope in his mind. but there were few people that understood it and those that did managed to get him to talk about how he was feeling and help him work through what he needed to do: maddie was one of those people. you're pacing again he thought to himself as he moved from one end of the room to another. "i need out of this apartment. can we go get drinks or possibly dinner?" he questioned the girl with pleading eyes who was sitting in the purple velvet chair in his living room.

[luredhearts]

maddie had a natural ability to simply make herself at home wherever she was. she could be comfortable almost anywhere, as if she didn't suffer anxiety, as if she didn't worry of others thoughts, so it was a natural occurrence to find herself curled up in the soft, almost plush like chair in hugo's place. it was her spot, she gravitated towards in whenever she found herself here and hugo knew that. she'd been quiet, notebook in lap, pen in hand as he paced, another natural occurrence. ❛ has something happened ? ❜ she questioned, less in regards to his question and more towards the almost worn down flooring. she'd do anything he wanted, truly she would, but if he was on edge, she needed to know.

there is a sleepiness to her features, like after a long night of no sleep, but yet she still slept last night. like someone who didn't appreciate the early mornings, but yet she did. she wasn't tired, she was relaxed, the fatigue that crossed her features came with the feeling of content that settled in her bones. she was home. her fingers curled in the soft ends her the others hair, content in the quiet alone. ❛ have you decided yet ? ❜

legs folded beneath her, debbie eyed her roommate. she finally had a night off from the bar, she was able to relax and chill out. spread across the coffee table were takeout brochures they had accumulated over their time living in the apartment. ❛ i swear we had indian last week, can't we get chinese or thai ? i am really not feeling pizza either. ❜ the australian grumbled, glaring at the brochures as if they had done something to her, not that they just couldn't decide what to have.

balanced coffee in hand, priya moved with absolute ease, not a stumble nor a face pulled when she side stepped someone on pathway as she trekked towards the building. it was a daily routine, structured and precise practically down to the minute these days, only pausing by her desk, gathering the requested files, before knocking on the heavy door gently. she'd been here long enough to know the cues of her boss, opening the door and moving towards his desk. ❛ good morning, coffee and bagel, i've had your two o'clock moved to three and those files you requested. ❜ she doesn't bother to pause with her arrival, simply placing the coffee and fresh breakfast in front of him with a smile.

" you ever tried this shit before? " an almost child like grin evident on their lips before kicking their head back and pouring POP ROCKS into his mouth. jude chuckled, the distinctive sound of cracking can be heard, " first time ever having these. dunno why, i never had em when i was a kid. this shit's fucking wild. " and sure. maybe he was stoned and that was a contributing factor to his amusement. he offered the snack to the person, " want some? "

[luredhearts]

raised brows watch him in amusement. the childlike wonder in his eyes dragged a smile across her lips easily but her raised hand waved off his offer just as easily. ❛ i think i'll pass on it, thank you. ❜ she's polite in her refusal, after all he didn't know she'd spent an outrageous amount of money on fixing her teeth. the crackling noise was comical, and appealing but she favoured her teeth more. ❛ you enjoy it. ❜

it may of only been early, but when had that ever stopped celeste woods from doing whatever she pleased. ❛ come on, val, upsy daisy. ❜ celeste piped up, throwing open the bedroom door without a thought, nor care really. after all, she'd been doing this for years now, valentina should not be surprised. ❛ you are in need of new clothes and i wish to go shopping, please ? ❜

eloise  was  tired.  she  just  wanted  to  scurry  back  to  her  apartment  ,  fall  directly  onto  her  bed  and  sleep  for  at  least  twelve  hours.  instead  of  doing  that  ,  however  ,  she  decided  to  take  a  leisurely  stroll  through  central  park.  she  desired  the  fresh  air  in  her  lungs  ,  the  breeze  against  her  skin  ,  after  being  locked  away  inside  the  studio  working  all  day.  she  was  too  busy  taking  photos  of  the  beautiful  blue  sky  ,  and  didn’t  notice  that  she  was  walking  directly  towards  the  backside  of  someone  standing  on  the  walkway.  her  front  slammed  into  their  back  ,  and  she  went  falling  down  toward  the  hard  ground.  “  oh  ,  shit  !  “  she  felt  herself  flush  scarlet.  “  i’m  really  sorry.  are  you  okay  ?  “

[luredhearts]

eyeliner smudged and an iced coffee in hand, debbie couldn't help but sigh as she found herself in central park with a few friends. she wanted to be back in bed after the night before, her legs ached, they often did after a friday and saturday night, but it was the kind of ache that made you feel alive and she wouldn't have it any other way. sunglasses flipped up to the crown of her head. that was until a back collided with her own and those dark framed glasses dropped over her nose and her drink fell from her grip. ❛ christ almighty ! ❜ she exclaims before her tongue catches up with her thoughts. ❛ fuck, yeah - i'm good, you good ? ❜

location: any $ to $$ bar open: currently no cap

“I would appreciate it,” Dutch spoke lowly, casting a half-glance to his side, towards the person occupying the barstool beside him, “if you didn’t say nothing.” A bottle sat in his grasp, freshly retrieved from the other side of the bar with a stealthy snatch. He’d waited, waited, waited until the bartender was far enough away before twisting the cap off, the faint hiss of an opened bottle snuffed beneath his palm. “Hell, I’ll tip, but five-fifty for a Miller Lite? No.“

[luredhearts]

her own bottle in hand, sofie had made no notion to say a word. just a simple raise of her brow in his direct before she shrugs, bottle lifted to her own lips. ❛ truth be told, man, they hike up the prices every few weeks. ❜ it was the truth, it was as if each and every time she walk into the dive, the prices were higher than the last. not that it phased her all that much.

it  was  a  beautiful  weekend  evening  in  new  york.  eloise  had  spent  the  day  in  bedford  park  ,  away  from  the  noise  and  the  vibrancy  of  manhattan.  she  found  herself  in  many  small  shops  —  just browsing. she even  stopped  to  eat  lunch  at  a  quaint  korean  restaurant.  although  it  made  her  miss  the  street  food  and  life  she  once  lived  back  in  seoul.  she  left  the  restaurant  and  headed  straight  for  the  nearest  park.  she  planned  to  sit  and  doodle  for  awhile  before  she  had  to  catch  the  train  back  to  her  neck  of  the  woods.  she  paused  for  a  second  when  she  noticed  a  humanoid  shape  sitting  on  the  only  bench  in  sight.  she  shrugged  off  her  anxiety  and  stepped  forward,  “  hi.  you  don’t  mind  if  i  sit  next  to  you  ,  do  you  ?  “

brown eyes follow the paths of people as the cross his gaze, he can't help it, charcoal dirtied fingers stilling across the paper in his lap, enamoured in the way the couple spoke, a lazy conversation he couldn't hear as the their fingers brushed between them. people watching, it always distracted him from the things he needed to be doing, writing being one of them. he doesn't see the approach of another before her words catch him off guard, tools tumbling from his grip. ❛ yes ! ❜ he responds, thickly before a gulp of air is inhaled. ❛ uh, i mean, of course, i don't mind at all. ❜

location: a park status: open

had angelica been paying attention, she would have seen the crack in the sidewalk - but, she was looking at her phone as she walked because she got distracted by a picture of a cute dog. she wasn't brought back to reality until the heel of her shoe got stuck in the crack and snapped, which sent her to the ground on her knees, her phone thankfully landing in the grass. tossing her purse on the grass, she let out an exasperated huff of air, unwedging the heel of her shoe out of the crack. "oh nooo, not the red bottoms," she said. "that's what you get for not wearing your flats, you dummy," angel said, not giving a care in the world if she looked insane talking to herself.

[luredhearts]

the early afternoon sun peered down from above, her eyes heavy with fatigue, but her shift was over and now she craved curling up in her bed, sleeping long before she should. normally, in the busy state of the city, roxanne wouldn't really be paying much attention to those passing her by, but she also wasn't someone to notice a fallen body. ❛ good heavens ! ❜ thick accent passing lips as she moved to crouch by the woman. ❛ are you alright ? ❜

perhaps it's the gentle glow of morning light that wakes her first, or rather perhaps its the dryness of her lips that brings her out of dreams, perhaps it's even the heavy weight of an arm across her waist, pinning the shirt ( certainly not hers; his. ) to her skin in such a twisted fashion, but she's awake, a thrumming behind her ears as memories of the night before piece together, late night gig, too many drinks and levon's lips. she doesn't dare look at the clock, the blinking red hued numbers would break the serenity if she knew. they'd overslept. sharpened nails dance softly, against the limb on her waist, gently moving it from her to sit up, a popping noise filling the silence as neck rolled to the side, stretching, but as she moves her eyes catch the clock she was avoiding. ❛ shit ! ❜
