xavier struts over to the wall , their face lighting up with a mischievous grin . " you know , they say money can't buy happiness , but let me tell you something ... have you ever seen someone with a grumpy face while zooming on a jet ski ? i mean , seriously , have you ? so , naturally , i cashed in on happiness and voilá , bought myself a freakin' jet ski . let's just say , my happiness level is now cruising at an all-time high , and my frown is nowhere to be found . case closed ! "
ALANA RAISED AN eyebrow . money was something that was completely new to her - she hadn't grown up with access to wealth , and it seemed as though overnight she had amassed wealth that the majority of the world could only dream of . she had to find things outside of money to keep her happy , so she couldn't relate to his sentiment . " honestly ? i don't think i've seen anyone on a jet ski before in my entire life ... unless you count a handful of videos on tiktok or youtube . " she smiled slightly . " but i'm glad to hear that you're happy with your purchase . when are you taking it out for a spin ? "

location : a random grocery store
❝ it's so sad isn't it ? ❞ nevaeh always had the same inner turmoil when she went to the grocery store. somehow, she found herself standing in front of the lobster tank frowning as she looked inside of it. something about being able to purchase them while they were still alive didn't sit right in her soul. ❝ do you think if i were to purchase them all i could get them to an ocean in time and they could live long free lives ? how would i know what ocean to take them too ? i'm assuming it's not just a free for all, right ? ❞
" HMM ? " ALANA HUMMED under her breath , curiosity coloring the noise as she raised an eyebrow , wondering what nevaeh could have meant by her words . then as she went on to elaborate , lana couldn't help but share her sentiment . she had always been an animal lover , which would surprise many people . the quiet girl nodded her head , a sad smile on her lips . " it's very sad ... especially how they boil them alive , " she murmured softly , her voice quiet . " if i'm being honest , i think they'd just be happy to be out of that tank and into a familiar environment ... if you're serious , i'll help you buy them . "
a frown formed on the girls lips as she laided her head on top of dasom's . ❛ me too , i wish she could've been here too . ❜ and she really did . luci had 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 loved the moments she got to hang out with the girls . despite simone not being there today , she was glad that dasom still invited her over . it was surly better than sitting home 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 thinking up whatever things were on her mind . ( at least , that was how luciana felt . ) she'd rather be spending time with simone or dasom rather than alone with her own thoughts . ❛ the whole thing seems like a 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 waiting to happen . . . working with an ex . . . yikes ! ❜ luci spoke , raising her head back up and looking over at her friend . ❛ how're you feeling ? ❜ she asked , not trying to pry but what were friends for ?
DESPITE THE NEAR decade large age gap between her and simone , dasom had developed a close bond with her ; just as she had with luci . she was so glad that she had found two girl friends that she could be so close to , especially in the industry they were in . luci may not have been a singer , but she was still apart of the entertainment industry - and it was hard finding trustworthy people in the business . she had lucked up with the two younger girls . " i know - i'm just hoping that the two of them don't end up killing each other ... or you know , simone doesn't end up killing him . " she gave her a slight smile . " in general ? i'm alright ... honestly , a little anxious . but that's to be expected when i'm about to release a new single . " even though the song was on her most recent album and her fans had heard it for sure , she was still worried about what the reception would be like . " are you doing alright ? it's been too long since we've hung out . " it had been less than a week ago , but it still was too long in her eyes .
"something tells me that comes with a catch," cameron laughed as he held out the winning ticket for dasom to take a better look. "and? i'm a very inside the box person, in case you haven't noticed," he laughed, "i can't remember the last time i did either of those. mini golf sounds promising."
" A CATCH ? I'M offended you'd even suggest that ... there's no catch !! if anything , i'm benefiting you by taking full responsibility for this . now you don't even have to choose what you do with your earnings - leave it all to me ! " dasom shook her head , sighing under her breath . " you really need to start expanding your palate , cameron . try new things , get out of your comfort zone . " she grinned . " mini golf it is ! oh , and then maybe afterwards we can hit up an escape room ? "
the response is quick , not much thought behind it , " yeah and i love you , " she giggles although maybe she was the more sober of the two , her finger travelling to tap the other on the nose with a little boop noise . the lights may have blurred but a new mission was just coming into sight as dasom explains her hearts desire , al decides that there is nothing she'd like to do more than turn that dream into reality . doing a zipping motion with her lips , " say no more , we're going to make it happen . a new york slice and a dance into the distance , " she teases as she leans forwards , " DRIVER ! we have a new destination , " she's waving her phone with gps coordinates on , rerouting to the busy streets where they could slip out and get that pizza , " don't worry babe , i will not rest until you have everything you dreamed of . "
IT DIDN'T TAKE a rocket scientist to realize that dasom was a lightweight . it didn't take much liquor for her to start feeling the effects taking over - the alcohol buzzing through her system and making her feel lighter ; freer . it was an invigorating experience that , if mishandled , would quickly go south . which was why she always made sure to drink with people whom she trusted and knew wouldn't let anything bad happen to her . " a dance into the distance ? but my feet hurt ! " she playfully complained , letting out a drunken giggle as she settled back into her seat , her feet shifting around as she kicked off her heels . " you treat me so well ... you'd make a great significant other , you know that ? are you seeing anyone ? oh ! maybe we can get you set up with someone ? "

B A C K G R O U N D
childhood & adolescence: alana grew up with a single mother in the bronx. her father, whom her mother didn't really speak about often, was never in the picture for her. from a young age, it was quite difficult for her to deal with the fact that she grew up without a dad. she absolutely adored her mother, but being teased by other children for not having both parents in her life caused her a lot of inner turmoil. it didn't help that she was a rather awkward looking child - as most people go through their ugly duckling stages. despite being a shy, introverted girl, alana had a very short tempered fuse - a trait that she inherited from her mother. her peers assumed that her quiet demeanor would make her an easy target for bullying, but she quickly proved them wrong after getting into a scuffle here and there; scuffles where she primarily came out on top.
her mother, tired of being called to her school for her fighting bullies, decided that she needed to redirect her short fuse into another avenue; which was when she introduced a ten year old alana to boxing. her mother was an amateur female boxer in her youth, but retired and laid her boxing dreams to rest when she got pregnant with alana. it became quite obvious that the boxing gene was passed onto her, because she took to it like a fish takes to water and fell in love with the sport.
throughout middle and high school, alana kept up with her boxing. it became a dream of hers to enter the professional world of boxing. in her mind, she had the perfect path set up for herself. she would graduate, focusing on training full time and eventually open up her own gym dedicated to boxing. as much as she loved the sport, being in the public eye as a famous boxer wasn't something that she was interested in. she just wanted to box without being known by the world.
early & mid twenties: boxing had become a huge part of her life by that point. training for hours everyday, competing in amateur fights here and there. she was saving up money to buy a local gym in her neighborhood when a sudden tragedy struck. her mother passed away not too soon before alana's twenty sixth birthday. it was due to health complications that she didn't share with alana - which broke alana's heart. she was devastated that her mother didn't share her health issues with her, and was angry towards her mother for quite a while after her death for that reason, but months in therapy has helped her start to move past that and let the anger go. all the money she had been saving up to buy the gym had to go towards her mother's funeral arrangements and all other loose ends that needed to be tied up; setting alana back at square one all over again.
current day: alana always thought that she was just a normal girl from the bronx. it came as a hell of a shock to her when she was contacted by her father's side of the family to let her know that not only was her father, and by association herself, royalty, but he was the king of the small european country he resided in - making her a princess. she couldn't believe that her life had turned into some fucked up version of the princess diaries. at first she didn't believe them - but after doing some research of her own and going through old papers that her mother kept stashed and hidden away from her, she learned that it was true.
then her life was flipped upside down once more. suddenly she had security following her around at all times, complete strangers vying for her attention. the royal family and consults are trying to control every aspect of her life - she can't box anymore, she can't do this, she can't do that. it's stifling and overwhelming for her. she never wanted this; she was content with her life, for the most part. now it was a complete circus. the one thing that she's held onto is her childhood home. she refuses to move out, although she knows eventually she might have to give in to her new family's wishes and move into a safer, more secure home. but until then, she's fine with having security roaming around her childhood home, as long as she gets to keep one piece of her old life for now.

" I MISS SIMONE . " the sigh that followed the confession filtered through the air as dasom leaned against luci , letting her head fall against her shoulder . they were sitting poolside on dasom's balcony, overlooking the city . the warm weather had prompted her to invite her friend over for a few hours of sunbathing and maybe a little swimming . " i invited her over too , but she said she had to go to the studio ... with tristan . " she frowned a little bit . " as you can probably tell , she's not too happy about that . " / @lucisaphira
dasom did deserve more than 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 her time with tristan's constant hot and cold . ⏤ tristan wasn't doing all of this because he 𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐎𝐘𝐄𝐃 making dasom feel horrible . . . he liked dasom . there was 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 a time when he considered her one of his best friends . ( one of the many flaws he possessed . ) was the fact that tristan was the type of person that pushed and pulled when it came to people . never letting himself have anything even slightly normal for too long . not letting people in for too long before cutting them off only to pull them back in because he was impulsive enough to go back and forth with his ever growing negativity to be alone and his loneliness . it seemed to be a 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 of his to make his own life a living hell and he ended up dragging and pulling down the people that were close to him into the holes he had dug for himself in the process . ❛ i didn't come here to fight with you , okay ? it's been a weird fucking day and maybe i took that out on you . . . it wasn't my intention . ❜ did it excuse anything ? or better yet , did it take away from the fact that tristan had strung dasom along for awhile now so her reservations or defenses being up made perfect sense . no , it didn't take away from that at all . ❛ fucking kellan threw a chicken wing at my face , okay ? i've had a headache all day . ❜ he complained , almost frustrated , he brought a hand up and brushed his fingers through the front of his hair . a breath escaping his lips , letting out the needed steam he was holding onto for no apparent reason . wanting to blame anything other than himself on his own shitty attitude that night . it probably actually having nothing to do with dasom or the chicken wing incident . ❛ if i'm such a shitty person . . . why'd you let me come ? ❜
IT WAS THE same old excuse , something that dasom had heard time and time again . tristan had a bad day . tristan was stressed out . it wasn't her , it was him . it was like a broken record that she was growing tired of listening to . she knew that it wasn't worth her time - that tristan wasn't worth her time . entertaining him , continuing on with what their so - called friendship had become , was causing her more harm than good . but she still couldn't bring herself to let go just yet . the good memories that she shared with him , their friendly outings and late night talks and everything in between had been embedded deep into her psyche . she was still holding out hope that tristan would go back to his old ways , the way he used to act when their friendship was new and fresh . " whatever , tris ... " she heaved a heavy sigh . " do you want some tylenol for your head ? " she asked , glancing away from him as she considered his question . " ... i don't know . "
"YOU KNOW I love you , right ? " dasom sighed as she rested her head against alara's shoulder in the backseat of the car she had reserved to be their transportation that night . as the city lights blurred by them , she hiccuped and sat up in her seat . " you know what i could go for ? " the alcohol in her system and long hours of dancing and other fun had made her stomach churn in hunger . "something greasy . pizza , maybe ? and afterwards we can hit up another destination , " it was late , but the night was still young in dasom's eyes . / @itsbigal
THE SOUND OF dasom humming a random melody that popped into her head filled the otherwise silent space as she wrote in her rather worn notebook , glancing at charlie's sprawled out , sleeping form on her bed . it was early in the morning , the sun having been in the sky for just a few hours by that point . after their usual rendezvous the previous night , dasom had talked charlie into spending the night ; as she always did . her pen stopped on the paper suddenly when she came across a roadblock in her inspiration , her eyes flickering over to charlie , only to find his eyes open and looking at her . " well , hey sleepyhead . it's about time you joined the land of the living , " she said , interrupting her humming streak . " sleep well ? " / @lilacrespite
"LOOK , I'M GONNA need for you to go a little easy on me - only one of us is a professional streamer here , and it's not me . " dasom was all up for trying new things and getting out of her element , for the most part , but she was having some trouble keeping up with the pace of the first person shooter game that miyeon was currently introducing her too . " now what does this button do again ? " / @lovesues
location: outside of a bodega
participants: cameron yoon & your muse ( @nepofmstarters )
"would you look at that," cameron couldn't help but laugh as he finished scratching the lottery ticket in his hand. "it looks like i won," he hadn't one much, but it was enough to be worth some level of celebration. "i guess this means drinks are on me?" he looked at his companion, "unless you can think of a better way to spend my winnings."
"WELL , WELL , WELL , " dasom grinned at him . " looks like i'm your good luck charm . i'll take full responsibility for your win . " she joked , letting out a chuckle as she peered down at his lottery ticket , nodding her head in approval at his winnings . " drinks ? that's so ... inside of the box , man . let's do something really fun ... " she paused , taking a moment to think about it . " wanna go play mini golf ? oh ! or go - karts ! "
"tell me your thoughts," she has managed to get behind the bar [ could be an apartment, a restaurant, a 3rd party place, her own place, etc. ], spending a few moments to make a twist on the classic old fashioned, an extra large ice cube, a little edible glitter, a little extra sugar cubes, and of course - a squeeze of multiple murcott honey tangerines to make the taste crisp and citrony. "i added a few more ingredients than the old fashioned calls for," she informs them, offering them the other glass. [ @nepofmstarters ]
DASOM WASN'T THAT big of a drinker ; although she did enjoy an occasional glass of wine here and there . she only drank socially , and she only drank harder liquors at party events , which were very few and far between for her . but she couldn't help but be a little intrigued when rosalind wanted to use her as a guinea pig to test a new drink idea out on . her curiosity got the best of her , and she agreed . " is it really strong ? " she asked as she reached for the glass , bringing it up to her nose for a moment to inhale . " jeez , that's ... liquor . " she almost gagged , but took. sip from the glass nonetheless . her expression lightened a bit , before her eyebrows rose in shock . " that's actually ... really good . "
𝐖𝐇𝐎 : jupiter + your muse // @nepofmstarters
𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 : sheep meadow @ central park
the weather was surprisingly gorgeous today. jupiter wasn't surprised to see many people out, especially after many days of nothing but rain. it was nice to be able to get out and take in the fresh air. not to mention that it was extra hot too, which meant summer was just around the corner. jupiter, like many others, were spending their day at central park, and he himself had found a perfect spot at sheep meadow, blanket over the green grass, and eyes closed as he bathe in the sun. but when he could sense a shadow casted over him, he groaned. " hey–– you're blocking the sun! " he said before taking his glasses off and looking over at the other.
A NICE STROLL through central park had been exactly what the doctor ordered for dasom . it was insane the amount of days she spent cooped up in either the studio or her own home , but she had been going through a rather long introvert phase for the past few weeks that made her lack any desire for social interaction ; being an ambivert , she had her days where she loved interacting with others . and other days ... not so much . but the sun shining down on her and the happy , content conversations she overheard around her during her stroll put her in a good , social mood . stopping to dig around in her bag for her favorite pair of sunglasses , dasom didn't even realize that she had blocked someone's way of the sun . " oh , i'm so sorry ! " she held up a hand , which now held the shades she had been searching for . " don't mind me . " she politely stepped to the side .
