she thinks that it's much easier to advocate for animals because of their innocence. when she was deciding on what kind of doctor she wanted to be the choice was easy. iris loved people but animals had never hurt her or at the very least never meant to harm her. she softly pets the fur and looks up at the person with a smile. "i reckon they get a lot of love and treats. i just wish they got them from a home." she had already tried talking to one of the shelters but some were so over capacity the best she could do was just TNR them. "i'm a vet," she says with another smile. "i just TNR'd this little guy so no more baby making for him," she jokes, scratching behind the ears. "what do you do aside from feeding street cats?"

for  as  much  of  an  animal  lover  as  she  is  and  would  adore  having  a  little  furry  friend  to  cuddle  up  with,  kaia  knows  her  current  schedule  wouldn’t  allow  for  that  to  happen.  it  wouldn’t  be  fair  of  her  to  bring  in  one  of  the  strays  or  any  animal  for  that  matter  when  she  was  constantly  ping  ponging  between  school  and  work,  then  back  to  her  apartment  to  eat  and  sleep.  but  it  makes  her  happy  knowing  that  she  wasn’t  the  only  person  around  her  who  noticed  the  strays  and  cared  for  them.  ❝  it  makes  me  happy  whenever  i  see  them  since  it  means  they’re  resilient,  but  like  you  said,  it’s  also  sad  because  they’re  all  adorable  and  deserve  a  warm  home.  ❞  kaia  chews  on  her  bottom  lip  as  she  watches  the  cats  weave  in  and  out  between  their  legs.  ❝  i  haven’t  been  here  that  long,  but  do  you  know  if  there’s  a  shelter  they  could  go  to  ??  one  that  focuses  on  rehoming  them  ??  ❞  the  other’s  mention  of  being  a  vet  brings  an  immediate  smile  to  kaia’s  face  and  she  looks  up.  ❝  that’s  awesome  and  must  be  so  fulfilling.  not  to  mention  being  surrounded  by  animals  all  day.  obviously  not  good  for  this  guy  here  since  his  days  of  fatherhood  are  behind  him,  ❞  she  jokes  with  a  chuckle.  ❝  nothing  as  fun  really.  actually  …  that’s  not  true.  i  play  the  piano  at  the  jazz  lounge  which  is  cool  and  definitely  a  vibe  on  the  weekends.  other  than  it’s  just  school  which  is  definitely  something.  ❞

the midday sun bathes abril's legs as she stretches them outwards, seated in front of one of the townhouses in her neighborhood. the rhythmic scratch of her pencil against her sketchbook was drowned out by the sound of birds and chatter from passing neighbors. abril had been practicing her portraits for weeks for a rather 'particular' client at caos tattoo. the criticism she received on her sketch's uneven eyes was enough for her to want to leak his credit card information, but she was determined to prove him wrong. in search of a muse, her eyes scan her surroundings. someone enters her peripheral, their interesting features catching abril's attention. "perfect," she whispers. as her muse begins to shift their body, she calls out to them. "could you take a couple steps to the left? the light isn't quite doing justice to your features right there," she calls out, gesturing her hand to indicate the desired direction for the shift

kaia  knows  that  she  romanticized  the  idea  of  academia  and  enrolling  in  university  upon  her  initial  arrival  to  town,  and  that  is  definitely  coming  around  to  bite  her  in  the  ass.  for  as  much  as  her  majors  bring  her  joy,  she  can’t  help  but  wonder  if  perhaps  she  was  rather  too  ambitious  in  choosing  to  double  major.  the  experience  was  nice  despite  feeling  as  though  she  was  constantly  being  swatted  with  assignments  and  readings  from  different  books.  she’s  on  her  way  to  the  library  when  her  phone  chimes  off  somewhere  in  the  depths  of  her  bag,  making  her  stop  in  the  street  to  dig  through  her  mary  poppins  size  of  a  purse.  what  she’s  not  expecting  is  to  be  a  random  muse  for  a  stranger  or  have  said  stranger  call  out  to  her  with  suggestions.  her  head  shoots  up,  chocolate  hues  blinking  as  they  settle  on  the  person  nearby.  ❝  oh,  i’m  sorry,  ❞  kaia  fumbles  as  her  brain  spectacularly  fails  at  wrapping  its  understanding  around  the  peculiar  nature  of  this  interaction.  even  so,  she  follows  the  guidance  and  goes  to  the  left.  ❝  is  this  fine  ??  i  have  to  head  over  to  the  library,  so  i  don’t  think  i  can  stay  for  longer  than  twenty  minutes  or  so.  are  you  one  of  those  speed  artists  ??  ❞

"Contemplative? Definitely. Cool? Mhm…that's kinda up for debate." Aivryn jokes as she showed him the photo. She felt this undeniable ease in their conversation, as if they were old friends catching up. Aivryn believed in reincarnation and perhaps this was someone she met in her past life. "Thanks for being a good sport, by the way. Most people aren't cool with me taking their photo without asking their permission." she said, tucking her camera back into her bag. "I'm Aivryn, it's nice to meet you."

salem let out a small laugh, they were both in the same boat. she had almost no impulse control when it came to treating herself and seemed to be everyone's go to shopping partner back home and with everything she had going on in her personal life currently the retail therapy served as a good distraction. "you put me in a thrift store or a street market this one and i could do actual damage. so unfortunately i'm not going to be the friend to steer you away from spending a little too much." she teased before giving jamie a smile. "i'm kidding don't be sorry, but if you want we can go grab something?i'm pretty flexible when it comes to dining out. i actually wouldn't mind some coffee." salem said reassuringly.

it’s  actually  a  bit  dangerous  just  how  often  jamie  found  himself  wandering  about  the  street  markets.  he’s  fortunate  enough  to  consider  writing  his  main  job  without  much  thought  to  his  income  since  his  dad  was  cool  and  sent  him  over  money  regardless.  it’s  a  bit  of  a  vibe  being  able  to  just  be  able  to  sit  down  and  write,  then  fuck  off  to  do  whatever  else  to  occupy  his  day.  as  of  lately  that  meant  buying  himself  little  treats  that  he  deemed  himself  worthy  of  for  making  progress  on  his  draft,  or  looking  at  little  trinkets  at  the  market  and  buying  what  felt  right.  it’s  what  he’s  actually  trying  to  rope  himself  back  a  bit  ..  otherwise  al  and  arlo  wouldn’t  be  too  happy  with  his  findings  that  he  brings  back  to  the  apartment.  ❝  oh,  trust  me.  i’m  always  the  one  to  egg  you  on  and  say  you  deserve  a  fun  treat.  it  makes  the  day  more  exciting.  ❞  he  glances  over  with  a  grin.  ❝  what’s  the  most  damage  you’ve  done  in  a  day,  you  think  ??  get  anything  good  ??  ❞  the  mention  of  coffee  has  jamie  visibly  perk  once  his  mind  makes  the  connection  with  a  cafe  sandwich  or  even  a  croissant.  ❝  i’m  game  for  a  coffee  run  to  see  what  they  have.  i’m  on  a  hunt  to  find  the  best  coffee  here  but  it’s  still  an  ongoing  search.  ❞

a couple times a month he will come to casaplan with things that he's been working on. most things are experimental, and in the words of their brother samuel, 'it just sounds like a lot of noise', dante doesn't get offended by it - experimental music has a certain kind of niche that often intersects with art, and for the most part, people don't bother him, which is why they still come. by the time that their set finishes he's packing up his equipment and walking around the workshop to make sure they didn't leave anything else behind. there's a crowd that seems to rush through, dante finds himself pinned against one of the walls to let everyone through and by the time that he thinks the coast is clear he finds himself accidentally running into someone. "fuck, that's my fault." he grabs his things, setting his bulky equipment aside and helps the other up.

there’s  many  things  kaia  has  come  to  love  since  arriving  in  valparaíso,  but  a  standout  has  consistently  been  the  musical  aspect  that  bleeds  into  just  about  everything  about  the  city.  sure,  she’s  visited  multiple  countries  when  touring  and  that  have  cultural  significance,  but  so  far  nothing  could  really  hold  a  candle  to  chile.  everything  felt  more  vibrant  and  energetic.  so  much  so  that  it  feels  difficult  to  even  try  to  describe.  kaia  has  made  an  effort  on  her  part  to  be  more  adventurous  with  her  time  here,  wanting  to  do  more  between  her  shifts  at  the  jazz  lounge  and  her  studies  at  the  university.  it’s  with  that  in  mind  that  she  was  able  to  stumble  across  casaplan  and  the  sporadic  musical  performances  that  she’s  come  to  love.  she  was  told  about  one  happening  today,  which  was  how  she  found  herself  straying  behind  the  stampeding  crowd  in  hopes  of  lingering  in  without  the  anxiety  of  being  pulled  in  the  wave.  it’s  her  own  fault  that  her  attention  was  diverted,  definitely  not  looking  at  what  was  right  in  front  of  her  when  she  collided  with  another  person.  the  fact  that  she  lands  on  the  floor  is  embarrassing  enough  to  try  not  to  dwell  on  for  long.  ❝  to  be  fair,  i  was  looking  the  complete  opposite  way  one  should  when  walking,  ❞  kaia  answers  in  a  casual  tone,  a  breathy  chuckle  passing  through  her  lips  as  she  lets  herself  be  helped  up.  ❝  sorry  for  not  watching  where  i  was  going  and  being  a  complete  battering  ram  straight  into  you.  ❞  her  gaze  trails  to  the  equipment  near  him.  ❝  do  you  need  any  help  carrying  those  ??  it’s  the  least  i  can  do.  ❞

"i know i'm probably going overboard and i look like such a fucking tourist but i'm a sucker for hand made things. why aren't you as excited as i am?" she said slightly offended the other wasn't sharing her excitement.

Lost and without direction, Aivryn finds herself in a new locale far from her apartment. Just having moved to Valparaiso, she was exploring the vibrant streets all on her own. Despite the uncertainty, she embraces the colorful scenery and bustling atmosphere, and uses it as the perfect opportunity to take photos. As she snaps away, Aivryn's attention is drawn to a figure nearby. There was something about the way the light hit their face. Unable to resist, she captures the moment with her camera. The person glances her way, prompting a sheepish smile from Aivryn. "Sorry… I couldn't resist," she confesses, hoping for understanding. "You look great though," she adds, showing them the photo. With a lingering worry, Aivryn hopes her spontaneity won't earn her a negative reputation among the residents.

when iris had first gotten here it was hard for her to settle, eventually she had landed on the alley cats, and saw a problem that needed to be fixed. so, then, she set up a schedule. it seemed like so long ago now since her first TNR, and she's feeling pretty good about this next batch of cats. she has a tote bag full of their favourite food as well as some medical supplies for a couple of the elder cats that were worrying her. by the time she sets up shop the cats are already eating in their corners, she fixes up the beds that she had laid and sets little cat treats in the corners while getting the flea treatment on an unlucky cat. there's a very small black cat that rubs against her knee, she picks it up gently and holds it in her arms and smiles. "hello mr. cosmo," she ruffles the cat behind the ears, "i think you'd make someone very happy someday you know," she says, turning her head and smiling at the person walking back. iris had never been very good at socialising with humans -- animals had always been her safe place. "don't mind me," iris says awkwardly, rolling her eyes at herself, shaking her head. the cat meows and she gives one last gentle squeeze before putting him down. "i do often speak to cats as if they're tiny humans, yes," she eventually clarifies. in her opinion, they're much better company.

eyebrows  knitted  in  concentration  as  she  scrolls  through  the  different  photos,  kaia  can  easily  pick  up  on  the  cozy  vibe  that  the  space  gives  off  which  is  why  she  assumes  it’s  so  beloved.  that  and  why  so  many  people  decide  to  partake  in  their  hosted  game  nights.  drew’s  commentary  gives  her  a  moment  of  pause,  head  perking  up  as  chocolate  hues  hone  in  on  him.  he’s  been  to  every  one  of  them  ??  that  warrants  enough  of  a  reason  to  take  what  he’s  saying  with  weight.  ❝  i  know  of  the  game  and  played  it  once  or  twice  with  my  brother.  but  you’re  telling  me  there’s  a  movie  adaptation  of  this  ??  how  do  they  handle  the,  y’know  …  ❞  kaia  trails  off  with  a  wave  of  her  hand  as  she  tries  to  find  the  rest  of  her  thought.  ❝  the  motive  and  who  and  what  and  where  and  all  that  jazz.  isn’t  the  point  of  the  game  is  that  it  changes  ??  ❞  she  imagines  it  must  be  good  for  drew  to  speak  so  highly  of  it.  ❝  everything  in  dnd  seems  so  well  thought  out  and  intricate  that  it’s  intimidating.  kind  of  like  when  my  brother  tried  getting  me  into  reading  spiderman  comics  —  hard  to  know  where  to  start  when  there’s  so  much.  ❞  kaia  shrugs.  ❝  i  usually  went  for  mrs.  peacock  since  she  seemed  cool  to  me.  is  there  a  character  analysis  to  that  ??  ❞

❝  have  you  ever  been  to  one  of  those  board  game  nights  at  casa  dragones  ??  ❞  kaia  asks  all  the  while  scrolling  through  the  photos  on  the  website.  she’s  seen  it  in  passing  on  multiple  occasions,  but  never  bit  the  bullet  and  went  inside.  so  investigating  online  was  the  next  best  option.  ❝  the  nights  they  do  them  usually  coincide  with  my  shifts  at  agustín’s.  i’ve  debated  going  to  the  dnd  nights,  but  it  seems  intimidating  since  i’ve  never  played  before.  ❞

leon chuckles and shrugs his shoulders, "i really wasn't apparently. i'm the worst," he grins, already answering kaia's question even though she just asked him not to do that. "oh okay," the blond nods and steps out of the car. the sun is shining bright and the heat is unbelievable. "sunscreen. we should buy more sunscreen as well," he says. the man waits for kaia to get out of the car so they go to the grocery shop across the street. "what kinda snacks are you thinking? i want those superochos they sell here. i've always been obsessed with them. it's basically wafer and chocolate and cream- well, not cream perse. but... you'll see what i mean once you try it."

amusement  easily  washes  over  kaia  as  leon  answers  her  regardless  and  she  can  only  shake  her  head  with  a  growing  grin  on  her  features.  ❝  you  sure  know  how  to  flatter  a  girl,  ❞  kaia  teases,  tossing  a  glance  over  her  shoulder  to  leon  as  she  gets  out  of  the  car.  she’s  still  gaining  her  footing  around  valpo,  discovering  places  she  likes  and  which  shops  to  frequent,  but  this  one  store  in  particular  stood  out  as  a  favorite.  even  from  her  first  week  of  arriving  in  the  city,  spending  that  time  subsequently  wandering  her  way  into  familiarity  with  the  layout.  ❝  i  agree  with  the  sunscreen.  you  look  like  you  may  burn  a  bit  easy  and  turn  into  larry  the  lobster  from  spongebob.  ❞  his  question  regarding  snacks  has  kaia  silently  consider  her  game  plan.  ❝  to  be  honest,  i  was  just  going  in  and  seeing  what  they  had  and  what  spoke  to  me.  sometimes  the  best  snacks  call  out  to  you  in  the  moment.  ❞  she  looks  over  at  the  mention  of  the  candy  with  interest  etched  onto  her  features.  ❝  i  can’t  say  i’ve  ever  tried  one  of  those  …  let  alone  heard  of  them  before,  but  i’m  open  to  trying.  is  it  similar  to  a  kit  kat  ??  ❞

❝  do  you  think  the  dog  owner’s  club  takes  volunteers  ??  ❞  jamie  asks  aloud  as  the  thought  comes  to  him.  there’s  a  group  of  people  with  their  respective  dogs  walk  to  what  he  assumes  to  be  the  rendezvous  point.  it  reminds  him  a  bit  of  that  scene  from  101  dalmatians  where  the  owners  resemble  the  dogs  they  care  for.  ❝  i  don’t  have  a  dog  and  i  definitely  don’t  have  the  time  to  own  one,  but  do  you  think,  like,  i  could  tag  along  and  walk  someone's  dog  ??  i  feel  like  i  give  off  chill  vibes  that  they’d  know  i’m  normal  and  just  wanna  play  with  a  dog  and  not  steal  it.  ❞

“  i mean, don't get me wrong— ” he mutters, earning a few shushes from the people around trying to watch shrek without interruption. manu tries again, dropping his voice even lower. “ i like the movie, but i'm a bit lost. how is this a romantic movie? ” unfamiliar with the movie, he's unable to grasp the connection between the plot of shrek and the atmosphere of romance the movies are supposed to portray.

jamie’s  attention  span  is  mediocre  at  best,  oftentimes  feeling  like  he’s  in  a  battle  with  his  own  brain  to  get  it  back  on  the  right  track  to  finish  whatever  task  he  was  doing.  in  this  case  with  shrek  it’s  not  too  immediate  of  a  cause  as  jamie  shuffles  around  his  bag  of  popcorn  looking  to  see  if  the  concession  attendant  listened  when  he  requested  extra  butter.  jamie  almost  misses  the  comment  from  his  companion  and  it  takes  a  moment  for  his  brain  to  comprehend.  chocolate  hues  blink  up  and  turn  to  him.  ❝  don’t  fiona  and  shrek  fall  in  love  ??  i  guess  that  qualifies  as  a  romance  movie,  ❞  jamie  offers  as  an  explanation,  paired  with  a  light  shrug  of  his  shoulders.  ❝  he’s  ugly  and  green  and  she’s  a  princess,  so  i  guess  it’s  love  against  odds  even  if  the  dude  you  fall  in  love  with  is  an  ogre.  ❞

❝  to  be  fair,  you  haven’t  even  told  me  much  of  what  we  were  even  doing,  ❞  kaia  replies  back,  all  in  good  natured  fun  as  she  walks  up  beside  arlo  and  shoulder  bumps  him.  well,  as  much  as  she  can  shoulder  bump  him  considering  her  height  (  or  lack  thereof  )  and  and  arlo’s  reminiscent  of  the  jolly  green  giant.  ❝  if  this  is  another  bad  idea  of  yours  then  i’m  not  taking  any  credit  !!  ❞  laughter  is  quick  to  bubble  out  past  her  lips  as  she  takes  in  the  wide  expanse  of  flowers  in  the  aisle,  wondering  what  they  were  actually  doing  here.  not  that  she  minded  plans  that  warped  into  something  else  entirely.  kaia  liked  spending  time  with  arlo  —  looked  forward  to  it,  actually.  not  that  she  would  ever  vocalize  that  to  him  considering  his  innate  ability  to  tease  her  like  her  own  brother  does.  another  taunt  hangs  off  the  tip  of  her  tongue,  but  dries  up,  weighing  down  like  cotton  immediately  following  the  information  arlo  provides.  she  knows  it’s  unfair  to  be  upset  at  the  idea  of  arlo  buying  flowers  for  someone  else,  especially  when  she  allows  herself  to  sit  in  the  suffocating  silence  of  her  own  feelings.  that’s  on  her  and  it’s  a  choice  she  decided  on,  valuing  her  friendship  with  arlo  more  than  anything  else,  preferring  to  keep  them  how  they  are  without  running  the  risk  of  making  things  awkward.  of  making  things  not  how  they  are.  so,  instead,  kaia  forces  her  lips  upward  into  a  playful  smile.  ❝  there’s  nothing  wrong  with  giving  someone  flowers.  just  shows  that  you  saw  something  and  thought  of  them,  ❞  she  answers,  averting  her  gaze  and  stepping  forward  to  touch  the  petal  of  the  tulips  in  front  of  them.  ❝  flowers  all  die  anyway.  even  with  the  most  attentive  of  recipients.  if  that  makes  you  feel  any  better.  think  of  it  as  letting  someone  enjoy  the  beauty  of  them  with  the  knowledge  that  you  wanted  them  to.  ❞
