“Dude, be gentle.” Ace groaned as the other dropped him rather abruptly  — or was it just him feeling it that way? — on the seat and his head spun and throbbed as if someone was hammering inside. It had probably been a bad idea to drink that much and he was facing the consequences now in the form of a raging headache. “Wait, what’d ya’ do with my glass?” The words coming out slurring. “It was still full!”

“--Dude, be less stupid,” Maxine retorted back in reply, huffing as she shoved Ace into the booth. She couldn’t believe she was taking care of his drunk ass. “Shut up, will ya? The only thing you’re drinkin’ for the rest of the night is water.” Max inhaled deeply in irritation. “How the hell are you-- what? Forty? And you’re this much of a lightweight?”

“Alright, I can cop you a pizza, free of charge. But you gotta let me know the toppings. And trust me, this will say a lot about you.”

@frostfordstart​

“Alright, I want spicy Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, and green peppers. What does that say about me?”

“You should come with me one of these times and see a pro at work. I could take you under my wing and make a real good handyman outta you,” he jokes.

“Hell yeah I’m buyin’. What’re you feelin’? I could eat damn near anything.”

“Hey, I know my way ‘round a hammer, I’m not completely hopeless. I can put furniture together, I know stuff ‘bout paint... Shit, might give up medical school and give you some competition,” Maxine teased, rolling her eyes at him and chuckling. “--Alright, since you asked, I’m up for some wings and a beer. You good with that?”

“I’ve had lotsa people come in that killed those too, honestly I’m not sure if they watered it too much or never.” She didn’t want to make anyone feel dumb, but apparently succulents weren’t as easy as she thought, so they were no longer on her suggestions list. “Yeah, if you don’t have cats, dogs, or anythin’ that can knock into it.” She slightly teased, moving to stand next to the potted plants she was talking about. “They’re weird little things, like leaves that keep stickin’  straight up out of the ground. What’s cute ‘bout it is that it grows little babies that you can break off and plant in another pot, but I’d probably not do that right away.” It was easy, but Mags would rather show her how to do it before just telling her to. “Also orchids. They aren’t classified as easy, but all you gotta do is put two ice cubes in it a week and keep it in a lit area.”

“....Maybe a cactus isn’t a good option. Since I sometimes have Olive at mine and Zoe’s place. She likes touchin’ things she shouldn’t.” Maxine studied the snake plant Mags was referring to, mildly interested-- she’d mostly shown up to the shop to see Magnolia, and the interest in plants was just the excuse she had for showing up to the shop unannounced. “That’s kinda cool. To just make a whole family of ‘em. --Really? Orchids? They look fragile, you sure I won’t kill it?” Max raised her eyebrows, giving Mags an amused grin. “I guess that’s easy enough... which one would you get, if you were me?”

“Did you– you really just called me old? Out in the open like this?”

“I mean.... I call ‘em like I see ‘em, Kimball. I see gray hairs and everythin’. Someone’s gonna have to start cuttin’ your food up all small real soon. Take you to dinner at 4 in the afternoon.”

Maisie lifted her head with a sigh, “Yeah, I guess so.  I just don’t see why someone has to make personal comments on something which has absolutely nothing to do with them.  What does it get them?”

“Did someone say something to you?” Maxine suddenly felt weirdly protective of Maisie-- she didn’t know her well, but she was nice. Why would someone be an asshole to her? “Want me to kick their ass?”

Mags smiled brightly at Maxine, a face she never got tired of seeing. “I sure am.” She was absolutely pleased at this too, Mags was good with her plants. “Oh my, well, some might tell you succulents because they don’t need much water, but I find them picky as hell.” She’d needed to find just the right spot to put hers, and it was an annoying system of trial and error. “Maybe you just need fake ones.” Teased the blonde, pulling her apron off and walking closer to the other. “What about a snake plant? They’re pretty low maintenance.”

“Shit. I thought a succulent might work ‘cause... y’know. Don’t gotta do much to keep them alive. Or... at least, I thought you didn’t,” Maxine replied with a grimace, chuckling softly as she bumped her shoulder again Magnolia’s. “You might be right. Or maybe a cactus-- those are easy too, right?” She walked alongside the blonde, stealing a glance at Mags. “What’s a snake plant? I’m gonna need you to teach me like I don’t know what I’m doin’.” She grinned. “’Cause I don’t know what the hell I’m doin’.”

tysnguyen​:

( @maxineduchanne​ ) Ty was at the library because she needed to return the book she’d checked out but, maybe more importantly, she also had to bother somebody. “Hey! Thanks for your help with the period book,” She said, sliding said book over to Maxine. “Y’know, I didn’t realize you were Zoe’s roommate? I always thought it was, like, Max Jordan or somethin’.”

“Hey,” Max greeted Ty, giving her a slight nod. “Glad I could help. Hopefully you won’t need it again, right?” She checked the book back in, glancing back to the other woman, chuckling slightly. “Yeah, that would be me. You should come over some time-- she’s talkin’ about getting a stripper pole. Y’know, for girls nights and stuff.”

emmettkimball​:

“You know I haven’t been tubin’ on that river for ages. C’mon, let’s get the crew gathered up, strap some of those tubes together, grabs a few coolers and spend a Saturday gettin’ lost.”

@frostfordstart​

“Y’know, I appreciate the offer, Kimball, but you’d probably be better off hangin’ out with Mia and Mase. They’re, y’know... older.”

mxfreddie​:

“Well, jeez, I know it’s Alabama but is it always thing dang hot??” (( @frostfordstart ))

“You think this is hot? This is actually nice weather. Wait until July, August-- it’s like walkin’ through hell. Just missing a demon poking at you with a pitchfork.”

isaiah-nazari​:

“Hey, you wanna go grab some food? I’m starvin’, and Ms. Gardner tipped me a hundred bucks for replacing her broken window.”

“--A hundred bucks? I’m in the wrong business, apparently,” Maxine murmured with a chuckle. “But yeah, let’s go-- you’re buyin’,” she nudged him, giving him a quick smile.

“Now, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Dean greeted, shirtless and all, as he opened the front door. He wasn’t expecting company at all, then again he wouldn’t have gotten dressed for it either. @frostfordstart​

“--Wrong house, sorry. Unless you’re Mrs. Ethel Hughes?” Maxine held up an envelope. “I think our mailman’s been smokin’ or drinkin’ on the job, keep gettin’ someone else’s mail.”

@frostfordstart​​ location:  Zoom mini golf

“Sorry, you were saying…?” Josephine asked startled as she took her glance away from the far screen; she had been finished playing with her famly, her siblings had taken the kids to Custards and she had told them she’d catch them soon as she was caught with the film at the drive-in. “I was watching the film.” She pointed a the screen.

“Just that the Superman they’re playin’ is probably the best one ever made,” Maxine murmured, gesturing to another screen. “I’m not a huge fan of the more current ones.” She lined up her golf club, tapping on the ball and watching it roll and drop into the hole.

“it’s pride month which means everyone owes me at least a $20 donation for keeping things interesting around here so… where’s your payment?” she asked, deadpan serious for a few moments before cracking a laugh to show she was clearly joking. ( @frostfordstart​ )

“Do you take Venmo or CashApp payments?” Maxine asked, giving the other woman an amused look. “Except I’d like to point out that I think I should be an exception to this.”

Open - can be anywhere.

“Why are people just mean?”

“--Uh.... you good? I don’t know, honestly, I think it depends on the person. Some people are just born bitches, y’know?”

maisieduchanne​:

“Sleeping? Pfft. Nah.  I was just, uh, distracted?”  Maisie lied.  She didn’t mean to doze off, but she was a little lacking in the sleep department with her whole situation with her parents.  “Gimme a hand up?”

@frostfordstart​

“I don’t know, kinda looked like you were sleeping,” Max replied back with a raise of her eyebrows and a chuckle in her sister’s direction as she offered her a hand so she could help her up. “I sort of envy you, I can barely sleep in my own bed, and you just nap wherever you feel like it.”
