NOW ALL MY DRINKS & ALL MY FEELINGS ARE FUCKING MIXED - ALWAYS MISSING PEOPLE THAT I ( SHOULDN'T ) BE MISSING. SOMETIMES, YOU GOTTA B U R N SOME BRIDGES JUST TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE. I KNOW THAT I CONTROL MY THOUGHTS, SHOULD STOP REMINISCING — I LEARNT FROM MY DAD THAT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE FEELINGS. WHEN LOVE & TRUST ARE GONE, I GUESS THIS IS MOVING ON — EVERYONE I DO RIGHT DOES ME WRONG, SO EVERY LONELY NIGHT I SING THIS SONG.
okay guys i need opinions/thoughts. the past couple of days have been bad days for me mentally so i’ve been a bit mia; i was also really sick yesterday. my friend is coming to my house tonight and i won’t be able to rp while she’s here ( from my knowledge ). if i were to refrain from going on the main until she leaves next week, would everyone still rp on the dash until then and be fine with waiting until next week for me to be back active on the main and post tasks/events/etc?
“ yeah, guess not. i mean no one actually confronted me about it, so i figured they couldn’t be too mad.” he spoke with a shrug gracing his shoulders. dallas put his hands up slightly in defeated, “ wasn’t gonna go into the doctor shit, but sorry that sucks.” he apologized before opening his bottle of water to take another sip. he was pretty used to having people ask him where he’s from since his accent made it impossible for him to even think about blending in with his new surrounding.“ i’m from a town that no one probably knows of in west texas. it’s completely different from anything you’d find in california. what about you, hm? you’ve got an accent to ya as well, thought about asking you at the party but forgot.”
he had a point; which only caused the brunette to shrug her shoulders a bit. when he explained where he was from, a smile pulled onto her features. “i knew it was texas. i could tell.”, zia chimed with a smirk across her features. “probably was a bit distracted by me sitting on your lap.”, she added with a small smirk remaining on her features. “new orleans.”, they supplied as an answer before sipping a bit more at her coffee.
at her response, saint’s eyebrows furrow, wondering then why theodore’s would give her a bad memory. he considered changing his mind about where they were going, but maybe he was just over-thinking it. “ their food is pretty good, huh ? ” he laughed at her indecisiveness, thinking about everything that he had there. “ i’ve only been there maybe twice. i’d say their wings are pretty good, i’ll agree with you on that. ” he paused slightly, smiling nervously as he inquired, “ why weren’t you thrilled the last time you were there, though ? should we look for somewhere else ? ”
when he’s questioning the restaurant again, zia found herself shrugging. “stop asking me questions! i dunno!”, she spoke before giggling. she hummed a bit, momentarily closing her eyes as she felt her body s w a y with the high. then, her eyes parted again. “you’re thinking way TOO much for me, pretty boy.”, zia chimed before she’s leaning onto the male whom she wasn’t sure of a name yet. “just feed me. i don’t care where we go.”, she breathed as she looked up into his eyes; her own far too dilated eyes searching his face aimlessly. “we haven’t met before.”, they stated after a long moment. “i always remember a pretty face.”
Lucie smiled as the brunette seemed receptive to the idea of burritos. “It is,” she smiled, “like chipotle but made by real mexicans,” she explained with a beaming smile. “It’s just down this street,” she said, pointing. “Talking about burritos has made me really want burritos so if you don’t mind me tagging along I can show you the way,” she suggested.
when the other is giving an example of the type of food the restaurant had, she found herself humming. “sounds good. do they have sauteed onions?”, they found themselves asking. soon, however, she was pulling herself up from the ground ( a bit shakily ), before she’s nodding. “a pretty girl can always show me the way to a good restaurant.”, they chimed with a smirk playing onto their features.
seven’s reaction frustrates her: she knows she shouldn’t be so bothered about what he thinks, but she never grew up with the privilege that she’s lucky to have now. “ fuck you, i said i’m not complaining about that, jesus. i’m just always fucking a l o n e. ” harlowe snaps immediately & rolls her eyes, the softness in her voice now completely absent. she knows it’s all her fault for being so isolated due to her own fears, but after her mother passed, her constant source of support now vanished. “ besides ——— i could say the same to you. just sleep with someone, & you won’t get to sleep enough to even think of seeing your nightmares. ” she says pointedly with an exasperated sigh. “ & sure, maybe it works for a night, but all these distractions won’t solve anything. ”
they didn’t comment on the matter any further; nothing more than a small roll of his eyes. he knew that she had a right to complain, but still, something about her just caused a tick inside of his chest. her suggestion for fixing his issues for the night only caused a chuckle to rumble in his chest. “is that an offer, blondie?”, his eyebrow raising up as he looked at her. “no, of course they won’t. if things were an easy fix, don’t you think our lives would be perfect? it’s life. there is no fix. it’s always shit.”, they spoke solemnly.
🥀 –– “Yes! Finally someone gets it. It’s like they’ve forgotten who they’re main clientele is. Like, you’d have to be stoned to play some of those games and actually have fun. No hate on Reck it Ralph of course.” Maia shrugged off her words, taking a few swigs from the freshly popped bottle. “Now, if they try instilling some modern temperance movement, i’ll have no choice but to quit.” All talk and no bite, Holotech would easily fill Maia’s position in hours. “Guess i’ll be bidding adieu to that euphoric feeling. Technically, alcohol gives you this…” gripping the air in search of the proper word, “giddy sort of high. I laugh at everything.” Clicking her teeth to mend brief silence, “I mean, did I get the position?” A quirked brow trailed her words. The ‘position’ was being able to call the other a friend. “I wish it was eight. Then I could call you Eight Ball but you’re one short, Sev.” Pausing to watch the other’s features to see if the chosen nick name resonated well.
a laugh fell from seven’s lips. “that’s true! i never go in there sober.”, he stated with a small shake of his head. he hummed a bit before taking another drag from the blunt perfectly rolled between his fingers. “you seem the type to laugh at everything, to be fair.”, he countered with a chuckle. her words caused another laugh to fall from his lips. “maybe! there’s a few people that are looking to take the position as well.”, he teased. “i wish my siblings were eight and nine. unfortunately, they are not.” the nickname didn’t phase him; used to his sister calling him the same.
declan licked along his bottom lip, teeth biting at it soon after as he grinned. he shook his head at the male’s joke, hesitantly moving to sit beside him on the park bench. “yeah. i don’t drink either and i try to have as much of a balanced diet as i can.” he shrugged his shoulders, blushing at the other’s inquisition. “i, uh, i’m trying to get in shape, you know? – you’re totally judging right now.”
when the other is explaining that he’s not a fan of alcohol either, seven can feel his facial expression showing the confusion he had. “what do you do for fun, then?” when he’s going on about being in shape and how he’s judging, seven couldn’t help but to laugh and then shrug. “it’s just weird. i can’t even remember how life was before i started drinking and smoking weed. boring, probably.”
ok guys sorry i was ghostie-like over the weekend. i won’t be able to be on tumblr tuesday-thursday at work bc i have to work a different department rip but i’ll be on once i get home. i’m going to be on during work today, though.
“ it’s way too dirty for me, & for you, for that matter. ” he says, looking down briefly before reaching his arm out to brush his hand over zia’s back to get rid of any dust from the ground. “ well, what do you usually get ? ” he asks, looking over at her & making sure she doesn’t stumble. he doesn’t know how long she’s been high for, but he might as well be aware of her well-being since he seems to be the more sober one between the two. she’s lucky he only had one drink during his break at work or else they’d probably be knocking into each other constantly if he had any more. “ what’s your absolute favorite thing on their menu ? ”
when the male is questioning what zia normally got at theodore’s, her nose scrunched up. “to be fair, i don’t remember. i just remember not being thrilled when i went before.” she hummed as she could feel his hand brushing off her back before he’s talking directly to her again. her eyebrows furrowed momentarily as she attempted to collect her thoughts to answer him before she began to laugh. “fuck, i don’t know. i think their wings were good. i think so was their spaghetti. i don’t know!”, then she’s laughing again. her nose scrunched up a bit before her shoulders shrugged. “what’s your favorite thing on their menu?”
ELENA : maybe someone did and just didn’t invite you !
ELENA : wouldn’t be surprised tbh .
ZIA. i always get invited.
ZIA. how did i accidentally snap you
ZIA. people love getting my attention,
ZIA. you should understand that –
ZIA. you loved it two weeks ago.
at his response, harlowe considers it, nodding slightly. “ well, that’s not a terrible solution, i guess. sounds a lot better than having another nightmare. ” she says. for a second, she wonders what he could possibly have a nightmare about. she knows everyone has their own problems, of course, but she realizes now that she never thought he would have such terrible nightmares & almost presses to hear about it further, but she bites her tongue, not wanting to pry. “ well, i mean ——— i live in this big, fancy house, y’know ? ” she shrugs, turning away, suddenly embarrassed, “ not that i’m complaining or anything, it just gets a bit lonely. i don’t sleep well alone. ” she murmurs, her voice much to gentle for her liking, but at this point she can’t take anything back.
he simply hummed at her words; of course he was doing the logical thing, he knew that. still, seven remained silent as his eyes wandered over the blonde’s facial features. when they heard the female’s words, their left eyebrow raised up at the other. “life must be h a r d living in a big, fancy house.”, he bit back without a thought. he brought the blunt back to his lips to take a few large hits; ashing it off before handing it back to the blonde. “you have an easy solution. just ask someone to sleep with you. then you aren’t alone. your problem is all solved. magical, isn’t it?”, he snipped. it wasn’t that seven was a bitter person, he just had a bit of an issue with harlowe in the past and feeling like she saw him as something below her level; which bothered seven to the core.
Lucie liked going for walks, it cleared her head, it made her feel peaceful. Today she walked with her headphones on, choreographing as she walked. Her body jerked every so often, as if she was spasming but in reality she was half doing a move as she added it to her routine. Her eyes squinted as she saw someone on the floor, seemingly talking to her. She pulled off her headphones and looked over at the person who, it turned out, was indeed talking to her. “Depends what you want,” Lucie answered plainly, “I am obsessed with burritos so if it was me I would go for the burrito place down the street.”
zia waited to hear what the other would say; watching as they removed their headphones to hear her words. when the female began to speak about burritos, a laugh fell from zia’s lips. “is it a create your own burrito place?”, zia questioned before they began to peel themselves up from the ground to sit up. “where’s it at? i haven’t had a good burrito in like... over a year.”, they admitted before a laugh fell from pouty lips.
saint took one look at the ground, just as he was coming out of work & dealing with one too many idiots who knew nothing about good music, & heaved a heavy sigh. “ what in the w o r l d are you doing down there ? ” he said between laughs, kneeling down to sit beside zia, trying to understand how she could possibly find such a position even remotely comfortable. it’s probably the high, he guesses. “ you know how dirty the floor is ? jesus. ” he mutters, poking her side. “ if you get up, i’ll take you out to eat. i think theodore’s is the closest place around here. ”
when they heard the male’s voice, she turned her head to look at him. “laying.”, she supplied simply. as he kneeled down to be closer to her level, she simply listened to him speak. at his question, zia couldn’t help but to laugh. “could be dirtier.”, she decided. however, then he’s offering to bring her to get food; which is the best possible scenario she could imagine right now. so despite how comfortable she had gotten herself on the ground, she rolled over and got up from the ground. “i have that their food like twice. i never know what’s the best on their menu.”, she added.
“ would you shut up already, you dick ? ” harlowe snapped as she rolled her eyes, scrambling to sit beside him & cross her legs. “ there, i’m sitting. are you happy now ? ” she says with a huff, snatching the joint from his fingers. she swears their hands brush the slightest bit & it sends shivers down her spine. her heart flips & she’s mentally cursing herself because now she’s just making things up. “ i know it’s hard for you to be nice to me, but thanks, ” she says after taking a long drag, tilting her head back against the tree behind them & blowing out slowly. “ but i’m serious, you do need sleep. are you usually up this late ? ” this time, she can’t hide her worry that well, her voice going softer as she turns & reaches her hand out slightly, handing the blunt over back to him.
when the blonde is sitting down, he couldn’t help but to chuckle. he didn’t say anything though; knowing not to annoy her too much or she’ll snap at him, understandably so. they watched the way the blonde took a drag from the blunt before she’s speaking again. when she’s speaking in a less hostile manner than normal, it caused his eyebrow to furrow a bit. he wasn’t complaining; more-so, confused. “usually.”, he muttered before he took the blunt back. “had a nightmare. didn’t wanna see it again. so, i’m out here smoking.”, he supplied vaguely before he’s taking a few drags from the blunt. “– why are you up so late?”
“listen — it’s hard work!” she exclaimed, huffing a laugh. “i really am, it’s the worst. apparently, people are really into records these days. there was a lineup when i unlocked the door.” nixie whined a little and leaned back on the grass, watching the people around the park. “a whole hour? i’m surprised i didn’t find you sooner. i’m not a stalker, shut up.”
a laugh fell from his lips again as he heard her speaking. “yeah, yeah. whatever you say!”, he drawled. then, he’s reaching over to snatch the blunt back so he can take a few hits from it. “no one else could find me! then your stalker self had to search.”, he teased. he ashed off the blunt some before taking another new long drags. then, seven is reaching the blunt out towards his sister again. “did you hear that people think allison broke her leg from falling off a roof while fucking? i laughed so hard when i heard that rumor going around.”
declan had been on one of his late night jogs when he took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up through the woods in the park. he was nearly out of breath, twigs snapping beneath his shoes as he tried to make his way out of the dimly lit forest path. that’s when he was met with someone’s voice. his eyebrows furrowed together, shirt drenched with sweat as he managed to catch is breath, a soft chuckle leaving his lips. he ran his fingers through his damp hair and shook his head, one hand moving to rest over his heart as he hunched over. “m’good, man,” he mumbled, offering him a small smile, “thanks though. i don’t smoke, y’know – body’s a temple and all that.”
when seven turned his head enough, he can see the male standing there; looking as if he had just been running around the world. “just got back from a swim meet?”, he teased with a smile across his features. but when he heard the next set of words, his facial expressions are happening before he can even try to stop them. “– did you just say that you don’t smoke because your body is a temple?”
xavier’s eyebrows raised as she called out to him, tilting his head to look down at her. he couldn’t help but chuckle as he crouched down so that she didn’t have to yell. “my god,” he mumbled, “you must be out of it.” he offered out his hand to the other if she wanted him to help her up. “c’mon, i’ll take you to the best place i know. you got the munchies or something?” he’s only teasing – for the most part – before he stood up once more, hand still extended for her to grab.
when the blonde crouched down to her level and smoke, she began to laugh. “always am.”, she chimed as she smiled, her eyes closing momentarily as she hummed. when he’s holding his arm down for her, they debated if they even wanted to move. but when the other is speaking about food, her stomach began to growl and she realized she had to go. she grabbed onto his hand as he pulled to help her up. once she was on her feet, she hummed before cocking her head to the side. “– what’s the best place you know?”
