She was stuck in her own mind, trying to figure out what was the next step, how to tell her mother, how to keep going like this past year wasn't one of the most horrible ones she's experienced. She zoned out from the conversation a while ago, only to realize when they nudged her. "I'm sorry, I — I didn't catch any of that."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Jieun exclaimed, more to herself than to anyone that surrounded her as she glanced down at her now broken heel. Limping herself toward one of the empty benches, the brunette dropped down onto it with an audible huff—annoyed. "First there's another killer in this freaking town, more people dead and now my heels won’t even survive the day? Life really can't get any worse." Obviously, one of those things weren't like the other but it was slowly bringing Jieun to a breaking point. Unsure of how much more bad things she can through before losing it completely.

Another day, another death, another killer on the loose. Verity felt as if she were going numb to everything that surrounded her because whenever it felt like the town was able to breath again, death was looming over her head. Again. It was the new normal for her now. It had to be for everyone. The fear she used to feel once upon a time subsiding and practically gone. Leaving nothing in it's place. "— fuck the curfew for you, too?" She asks, eyes sparing them nothing more than a quick glance—finger tapping lightly against the stick in her grasp.

After looking at his producer setup in his home for what felt like hours, he decided it was time to just get out entirely. Donning a black shirt, black hoodie and black sweatpants, he found himself another distraction, even though the entirety of that two-hour long hip-hop class reminded him of Bianca. Another friend he watched get buried. Still, the class served its purpose, making him feel lighter than he had felt in what felt like ages. He even had a small smile on even when something fell on the ground in front of him when he got out of the building. "Yo, I think you dropped this," Dom said, reaching down to get it.

Dilara approached the bar, having had found a seat opened for the taking. “Let me get an Amaretto Sour and a water, please.” she asked the bartender, flashing them a smile. She decided to take her friend’s advice and just put things behind her and live her life. There was no reason why she should be keeping herself at home as if she had done anything wrong, so Dee decided she had enough and took herself out. Her hair laid perfectly waved down her back and she dressed in a small black dress with red bottom heel’s to adorn. With news of new murders she perhaps shouldn’t have come alone, but not wanting to give herself yet another reason to stay home she put it out of her mind coming to the conclusion that she’d text someone to meet her here. "It's pretty lively for a tuesday night." she spoke outloud as she glanced towards the dance floor.

Tala wasn't really one to go out for drinks, but she did enjoy making her own at home. After a busy day at work, she could really use a glass of wine, at least, but she was all out. It had been a while since her last trip to the liquor store so she decided to stop by on her way home. She grabbed two bottles of wine, one of rum, and another of whiskey. She was able to manage to hold two bottles in each hand, but she didn't realize that she put her phone down on the shelf until she didn't have a good way to place the bottles down. "Could you grab that for me and just slide it into my pocket?" she asked the first person she saw.

"so i was thinking. after i lock up here, you. me. thrift store." usually the next thing out of his mouth after i was thinking is less mundane. or at the very least nonsensical. "i was there the other day and someone left like, a shit ton of old vhs tapes. i didn't have time to go through all of them but i wanna see if there's anything weird in there. or someones home videos." and there it is. "like maybe someone accidentally donated their deepest darkest secrets."

the bouquet's big - bigger than myria can see out from, or over - or around, if she could crane her neck long enough; flowers a little bit of everything, chrysanthemums and lilies and hydrangeas, all white and fresh. she can barely get it out the door of poppies', maneuvering her body around the bundle - or were there bundles? - instead of moving them around her; a human shield, or a very terrible defense player. only gets a few steps away from the shop before knocking into someone completely, petals and buds and stems flying everywhere and anywhere, scattering across the sidewalk as myria can only stand in shock, hands thrown up like a freight train's coming for her, "oh - shit! i mean - fuck - oh god, i like - never swear, i'm so sorry -" as if that's the priority here, " - are you alright? i knew i should've used my glasses from amazon - they have like, built in side mirrors like on cars - but that's like, so not the point - are you okay? did i like - maim you with flowers - oh my god, wait - is that totally insensitive? i am so sorry."

"an earthquake and a hurricane happening at the same time on the west coast. that is crazy." she noted as she took a sip from her coke. who would have even thought it would have happened. part of her was glad though that she didn't live out there. "some people are apparently calling it a hurriquake now." it made sense to call it that. even if the word wasn't real.

Garrett renewed his old gym membership, getting himself used to being back in town. He decided to start at the free weights to warm up for a little while before he saw one of his go-to leg machines open up. Walking over he realized someone else was also about to put their water bottle down. "My bad, go ahead."

"Can you keep your voice just a tiny bit lower, please?" she groaned, rubbing her temple with her hands praying the pill she took will work it's magic soon. "I'm never drinking like that again." She grabs her cup, taking a few sips from her coffee. "Had fun last night?"

Jade found herself the morning after the party in her favorite spot in town. She needed her coffee for a few reasons, but the main one was the crushing hangover pounding through her head. She had to write down everything useful she learned at the party and any feelings she could manage to put into words before they weren't as fresh. "Sorry, let me move my notebooks," she said, realizing someone was looking for an open seat.

standing on the bar counter, eve let out a scream. ❝ we out here, bitches! ❞ she let out a series of giggles as she rocked her hips to the music; the words that were spilling out her red-stained lips from her singing slurred together. ❝ come join me, ❞ she used her finger to lure them closer.

was it or second or third drink already? who knew. but for once, she was planned on loosening up and having fun. even for one night, it was something she deserved. "part of me is really hoping they at least play old town road." she said before taking a sip of her drink. or at least play a few country songs. with the party being a western theme, it would be nice if they did that. "what's one country song you would play here tonight if you were the DJ?"

Jade was already feeling pretty buzzed coming from the house party, but she was still trying to focus on her goal of getting more people to spill any details about the murders that were left out of the news. "Do you want to take shots," she asked the person who made it to the bar at the same time as her. She was down before she even turned to see who it was.

Elijah was glad to see that other people decided to rock the wild west theme all day, because if not he would have looked pretty crazy. Taking a moment to look around, he decided that Dilara's house wasn't as nice as his, but still very nice. "Where do I put the bottles," he asked the first person he made eye contact with. He never liked to go to a party empty handed so he brought a bottle of vodka, tequila, and whisky to hopefully cover the basics.

Talon felt kind of underdressed as he watched everyone in the building dressed to the nines. He should have known that everyone would take the theme really seriously. He dressed so casually that it almost felt like he was standing out, instead of blending into the crowd, as he preferred. He took a quick drink from his bottle and decided to try and be social. "Did everyone have these outfits just sitting in their closets or did everyone go shopping for this?" he asked the person grabbing the drink on the bar beside him.
