“i am not making bird noises every time i come near you, richie.” eddie shakes his head in disapproval. “that’s embarrassing, and knowing you you’ll probably caw caw back or something and make it even more embarrassing.” he adds knowingly. “oh wow, very clever. i wasn’t even sure if you knew that.” he roll his eyes once more, a constant reaction to most things that richie says. “stop that! i hate that!” he exclaims, swatting richie’s hand away.

“c’mon eddie! it would be like having a secret handshake except way cooler and i can do a great impression of a parrot.” of course, richie would make it as embarrassing as possible and he knows that he has no chance of convincing eddie but that isn’t going to stop him from trying to make it happen. he let’s his hand get swatted away with another laugh. “you secretly love it, you just don’t want to admit it. that’s okay.”

“Feel better?” (Josh & Chris)

“yeah, thanks.” the normal lightness is gone from his tone as he takes a sip from the hot cocoa, eye slightly unfocused. “i always feel a little off on wednesdays.” the days when he had to go talk to the therapist. he didn’t understand what the point of it was. his therapist was nice enough but josh didn’t really want the help. “thanks for letting me come hang out.” this time he forces some lightness into his tone and he’s quick to flash a grin

“yeah?” bram releases a quiet laugh as he lowers his own hands. “sorry, i forgot that my boyfriend tries to be a cynic when it comes to love.” the words are clearly teasing as he says them.

“That’s not going to exactly be easiest thing to do. You start chanting and everyone comes flocking like munchkins at a witch burning.” Shuddering at the imagery that popped into her head, she looked up at the boy, closing the book with her finger marking the page.

“you can’t really blame them, i guess. chanting isn’t something people normally do. they probably think you’re a street performer.” newt himself was very curious about the entire thing but he doubted asking would make her happier about the situation.

chris hartley.

mike had told chris that a wendigo had gotten josh when they were in the mines, so it had been foolish of him to think that he had managed to find him, but the scars that he’s able to notice remind him of the ones he had seen . “not really. i just.” you’re the spitting image of my, most likely dead, best friend and i hoped that you were? “you looked bored.” he hadn’t, he had seemed engrossed in a video on his phone when chris approached. “thought you might like a friend, or something. uh, i’m chris.”

josh snorts, “bored of this place maybe but you should totally see this video. it’s hilarious.”  the mention of friends has him making a face before he smiles again. it would probably be good for him to at least attempt it and this male - chris - was the first person to really continue trying to talk to josh after seeing his face and his parents would be relieved if he actually spent time with someone, probably. “i’m always ready to make friends, dude. i’m josh.”

it’s no secret, to anybody, that eddie disapproves greatly of smoking. the scent alone is enough to knock him sick, and he hates that his best friend chooses to harm himself by doing it, though he’ll never force him to stop, and appreciates that richie never smokes around him; it makes him feel a little better about it. “sorry, i’ll make sure to signal next time.” he rolls his eyes, playfully. “i’m not even that much shorter than you, dick!”

“good, you just need to make bird noises. i think that will definitely get my attention.” richie is doing his best not to laugh as he says it, eyes crinkling with amusement. though he bursts into laughter when eddie continues, “that is technically a variation of my name so you aren’t wrong, eds!” there’s not hesitation as he reaches out to playfully pinch at his cheek.

“i need to advertise. ‘anyone willing to let a stranger beat on their drums’,” she hummed before shaking her head, “disappointing. at least you aren’t afraid to do karaoke like most people alive today. but i definitely see you as a guitar kind of guy.”

bram can’t help it as he laughs, “we might need to work on the phrasing a bit but that’s a good start.” there’s a small shrug of his shoulders. “karaoke is always fun, people just need to learn that. garrett wanted me to take guitar lessons with him when we were younger but i was never interested, really.”

“*sticks tongue out at*” (to josh)

josh returns the gesture without a second thought, his good eye is shows clear amusement as he does his best not to laugh. “you’ll laugh first, clary.”

{ @ofresilience } from this post ( HERE ) ( richie & bev )

“NO, NO—- not really a g o o d morning—- but—- you can make it better. i can throw cold water on you ?? you’d be pissed, yet awake !!” toothy smile danced across her lips, bev was joking of course. “what can i do to make it GOOD morning ?? coffee ?? bagel ?? deleting monday altogether ??” 

“if you throw water on me you will be immediately disowned as my best friend!” richie threatens with a slight laugh, raising his head from his pillow to point a finger at her dramatically. “how about a kiss?” richie teases playfully, making kissy noises before grinning. “in all seriousness though, coffee would be incredible.” not that richie ever really needed caffeine.

“*runs into at full speed*” (to bram)

bram wheezes slightly when the girl collides with him, hands immediately raising to grab her shoulders and steady her. “you okay?” the words are still slightly breathy as he catches his breath but there’s still concern in his expression.

her reaction earns a puzzled expression from josh and he offers her a small smile. “i could keep you company for a bit, if you’d like. nothing better to do around here then try to make friends.”

“Can you stop thinking about yourself for once?” (Eddie & Richie)

“what better things are there to think about?” richie questions, it’s an attempt to lighten the mood and also a way to try and deflect the words. not liking the accusation at all. richie knew he had a lot of faults but he had never considered himself a selfish person.

“don’t move!” the young woman exclaimed as she re-positioned her camera, taking a photo of the scenery, “i hope you don’t mind. i didn’t want to lose the view,”

@ofresilience

bram froze in spot immediately, ready to take a step back. “do you want me to move out of the way?” he had no intention of ruining a picture for the woman.

chris hartley.

“yeah well, unlike some people i’m not really the lying type.” chris responds, shrugging lightly. if there were something he wanted to hide in his bag he wouldn’t have let josh look in it at all. not a josh that didn’t remember how close they were, anyway. “you think? erm. thanks? but you’d be pretty surprised then.” he laughs slightly. “no. no there’s not. maybe there might have been at one point, but..” he trails off. but she had died, along with em, and matt, and even josh. “not anymore.”

“good.” not that josh could say the same, he wished that he could but telling the truth was something that didn’t always come easily to him. hell, he hadn’t even told chris everything about himself yet, not that the other seemed to mind. “i think so. i’m just waiting for someone to approach you while we’re out in public and then i’ll have to be the third wheel.” not that josh would ever willingly be the third wheel in any situation. “i’m sorry,” his expression is genuinely apologetic as he finally starts putting all of chris’ stuff back. “i didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.”

“*drags you away by the arm*” (to newt)

newt doesn’t put up much of a fight as he lets clary drag him away, though he can’t help but frown slightly. “you do realize that i was working, right?” there’s a sigh and then he focuses his gaze on her, expression softening, “did you need help with something?”

nancy wheeler.

pain shattered her composed expression, standing there in complete silence and still as a rock. there had to be something, somewhere. they just had to find it, she couldn’t give up, couldn’t stop. “so what, you’re giving up ?”

he immediately feels guilty as he watches her expression change and he’s quick to start shaking his head. “no, of course not, i just think that we’re looking in the wrong place.” not that he knew of anywhere better to look but they hadn’t found anything here yet.

elphaba.

“ AHBEN TAHKAY, AHBEN TAHKAY, AHBEN AHTUM AHBEN TAHKAYAH--” Elphaba was cut off as her book was knocked by a passerby’s foot. “Hey! Watch where you’re walking!”

newt grimaced slightly and although he hadn’t been the one to hit the book, he still bends down to straighten it for her. “people can be terribly rude around here, if this is something important i would suggest doing it somewhere less public.”
