“Twenty dollars right now, all yours, no strings attached,” Sol states, holding up the twenty he spoke of, before adding one string adjacent caveat, “If you can guess the weirdest cause of a fire I’ve ever uncovered. One guess maximum. Go.”

[maiakinsley]

“Hmm...” Maia furrowed her eyebrows together and pursed her lips as she contemplated the most outlandish cause of a fire possible. After deliberating for a few moments, she sat up higher in her barstool and launched into the imaginative tale she’d thought up. “Alright. I’ve got it. A dog jumped onto a kitchen counter, accidentally turned on the toaster, which then eventually caused a fire somehow. Possibly with some kitchen towels?”

“I mean it was kind of a win win for me. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but dogs, they are so much easier to deal with than dogs. More enjoyable too, so when I stumbled into all of this I just kind of knew it was the right fit. Plus it really catered to that no self control thing,” He joked shaking his head. It was probably insane to someone looking in on it but Austin was happy, he had a good life, and to him this was all he needed. Watching as she noticed the sleeping puppy her reaction brought the biggest smile to Austin’s face. This was the kind of thing he lives for, seeing just how happy a dog could make someone. “There is a lot more where that came from. Although that one is particular is a bit of a chewer, I imagine its gonna be a big fan of shoes.” Austin warned with a knowing smile. 

Maia smiled fondly as Austin spoke about his love for dogs. “It’s good you found your true calling, especially one you’re so passionate about. Most never do,” she commented. Luckily, she could say the same for herself when it came to her writing; not only was she able to pursue a career doing what she loved, but she was also able to make a good enough living from it as well. Maia looked back down at the puppy, who was sleeping soundly in the pen. “If that’s the case, it deserves all the shoes in the world. Those puppy dog eyes could literally convince me to give it anything.” With one last look at the dozing puppy, she focused her gaze back to Austin and offered him a smile. “I should probably tear myself away from these cuties now before I leave here with all of them.”

“I’ll ask first,” he says, nodding before taking a moment to think. “Alright – what’s your favorite memory? Like, all time. You think ‘bout it and you can’t help but smile.”

“Oh, that’s easy,” Maia replied with a smile, and placed her drink down before she continued. “It’s not really one memory, actually. When I was in elementary school, my father used to pick me up on Friday’s and walk me to the closest park. We’d feed the ducks with the stale bread from that week and spend an hour or so there. Of course, we eventually found out that bread isn’t good to feed to ducks, but we loved our routine, so we switched to feeding them oats or leftover lettuce. I think that’s how I got conditioned to love Friday’s so much.” Maia said with a light chuckle. “Alright, my turn. What hobby did you have as a kid?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I still love Romeo and Julie, I just don’t think that it’s top tier level of romance,” she shrugged, “and if we’re talking about Shakespeare’s romance, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has to be the top.“

“Midsummer is okay,” Maia conceded with a light shrug. “But I’m reluctant to call it top. To me, falling in love shouldn’t require the use of magic. It’s a delightful play, but that aspect of it isn’t my favorite.”

rory-reilly​:

“I mean, I’ll admit I haven’t had many bosses in the world, but I can tell you with certainty that Nash Gordon is the best of ‘em. He’s a real pal, and a real role model. I’m lucky.” He glared over at her, but it was only in jest. “I can’t help it that I’m so pale! You’d think with all this heat I’d come out with a nice tan… but nah. This skin wasn’t made for the sun.”

“I think the heat can be overrated, anyway,” Maia replied. “Personally, I’m more of a fan of the winter months. The best holidays are then, and the climate is much nicer for staying indoors with comfy blankets and hot drinks. Snow and rain are by far the best types of weather.”

eddiexmiller​:

“I tend to work on more commercial work.  I do a lot of retail and entertainment complexes so they tend to be pretty extensive projects.  Hence while I’m here for three months initially although I will no doubt have to come and check up on things a few more times too.”  Eddie took a final drink of his beer, “Would you like another drink?”

“Ah, I see,” Maia commented with a nod. “Though, three months is quite a long time to be away for. Do you have to travel often for projects? Or do you try to stay in Chicago as much as you can?” At his question, Maia looked down at her glass, which was a couple sips from being empty. “I’d love one. I think I’ll go for a beer this time around.”

leosadlas​:

“ah, really? i remember hearin’ about some of my colleagues from university out drinkin’ with some of our professors.” leo chuckles. “wasn’t me though.”

“I couldn’t ever - not when just emailing one of my professors made me anxious enough. Though, I will admit, there were some that I felt would’ve been excellent friends. They always tended to be from the humanities department, interestingly enough.”

catherinexbristol​:

“The hydrageas,” she answered, picking a stem up. “I cannot tell you the many times my family has stopped at the dinner table and smelled the roses. I’ve brought them home so many times that they’d expected it.” Catherine’s smile started to light up as she thought about the times she’d seen her family stop and smell the flowers each time she comes home with some. 

Maia nodded at her judgment with a smile. “Then, I think I’ll go with the hydrangeas. I’m not one to question an expert opinion,” she replied. She looked back down at the flowers and began to focus on the hydrangeas specifically to see which bundle she liked the most. “I have a pretty neutral dining room at the moment,” she commented, and tore her gaze from the flowers to look at her. “Mostly white with some darker accents here and there. I’m not sure if that’s enough to go off of, but is there any particular color that’d go well with my space?”

harrisonforrester​:

“I bet you were the worst. I just guarantee it.” He shrugged, tapping the bookshelf as he tried to think. “God, 18 years? I’m really getting old. Been too long.”

“Old sounds a bit harsh. Experienced sounds a lot better. 18 years is quite a long time, though I think it shows dedication moreso than anything else.” Maia commented, and tilted her head as she asked, “Have you ever thought of doing something else?”

teodorehuang​:

Listening to her list the different places around New York to try out. It did cause his stomach to rumble a little, he chuckled at that and placed a hand over it as a way to prevent it from happening again. “All those places sound amazing. I am gonna make sure to try them out if I ever end up gong to NYC”

Maia chuckled softly at the sound of his stomach grumbling. “Don’t worry, just the thought of those places is making me hungry, too,” she replied. “I’m just glad I haven’t had any specific cravings for them yet, especially since it’s a good 1,000 mile trip from here. If you do try them and love them, then you’re welcome in advanced. If you hate it, though, I didn’t say anything.”

gidaster​:

“If you ask me, she’s got plenty of names,” Gideon said. Names such as… Head Bitch, Miss Attitude, and Deviant Little Shit were all included. However, that was probably not what she was really asking for. “Her name, for when she is being less rude, is Hera.”

Maia raised an eyebrow and smiled at the name. “Hera? That’s a lovely name for a chicken. Did you name her after the Greek Goddess for any particular reason?”
