|| poppy​:

Spotting Marnie across the street, Poppy didn’t hesitate to make her way over towards the younger girl. “Hey there!” she greets with a grin, readjusting Lily Rose a little on her hip. “Are you enjoying the festival so far?” @omoide-no-mani​

    ---- “poppy!” marnie greeted before leaning down and playing with lily rose a bit. seeing poppy was always a treat, marnie felt safe with her. “i am! i’m loving watching all the people. it’s like i’m in a holiday card!” she gushed, spreading her arms out wide.

|| wendy​:

“I’m learning that.” Wendy agreed with a nod, looking down at the poinsettia with a newfound knowledge of how dangerous it was if you ingested it. “I’ve found out that most things are poisonous if you eat them so…I should stop doing that.” she said with a joking tone.

    ---- marnie gave a warm smile to wendy. “yeah, never put anything in your mouth that you’re not 100% sure of,” she stated with a firm nod. however, marnie bent down and picked up one of the beautiful plants. “but they sure are pretty, aren’t they?” marnie asked, handing one of the small plants to the other girl.

|| hans​:

“Uh… yeah, you have a good point.” Hans can’t help manage to hide the slight shock on his face as the girl next to him speaks up, not actually sure if the advice is for him but looking around, he doesn’t see anyone else that she may have been talking to. “Is this something you do often?” he can’t help but ask, curiosity getting the better of him. “Walking around doling out surprisingly good advice to strangers?”

    ---- marnie smiled, giving a smile. the girl placed her basket on her lap, looking ahead at the festival, watching the snow fall heavier and heavier. kicking her feet in the snow, drawing pictures, she kept her attention on the man next to her, even if it didn’t seem like it. almost as if she was distracted and not on this earth. “hmm,” she hummed in response, “yes. you’d be surprised, actually.”

|| pacifica​:

“What do you mean it’s sold out? I ordered ahead, whoever was on the phone confirmed it. There is no way! Don’t you know who I am?” Her words were landing on deaf ears apparently but someone finally went to the back to check for her dress - the one she had definitely put on hold. With a dramatic sigh, Pacifica leaned against the counter and turned to the figure close by. “Why do bad things happen to good people? I don’t deserve this.”

    ---- marnie watched the scene unfold as holding a shirt in her hands, about to purchase it. quietly, she moved closer to the other, “if you’d like, i can help you find another dress,” she offered, giving a bright smile. “that dress was probably beautiful, but we can get you a better one,” marnie replied with a hint of determination. if anything, she knew clothing and fashion as good as any thanks to her mother.

|| debby​:

With a cup of tea nearby and a stack of papers in front of her, Debby was finishing up some grading she fell behind on. While she used to grade papers in bed, she found it more productive to do it other places, so she wouldn’t get distracted by her thoughts and lay in bed endlessly instead of actually grading. She caught a glimpse of the clear sky, a very faint smile visible on her lips. “I hope it rains soon. It’s been clear skies for awhile now.”

    ---- one thing marnie always tried to do was to romanticise her own life. picking flowers, enjoying talking to animals, wandering about. marnie loved it. at least, it helped her to cope. so, by sitting in a small cafe, sipping on peppermint hot chocolate, and reading, marnie could forget things for a little. “ooh, rain would be absolutely lovely,” the woman breathed, replying to the other at the table next to her. “rain would be so refreshing, right?” marnie gushed, now staring at the window.

|| kitty​:

Closing up shop for the evening, Kitty’s attention is caught by a girl wandering alone outside. It’s not unusual to see people wandering the streets of the island, even late at night, but something about the way the girl wanders almost aimlessly has he concerned. Forgetting about the rest of her closing duties for the moment, Kitty pops her head out of the shop to wave her over. “Are you doing okay over there, sweetheart?” she asks, calling out to the girl, brow furrowed with concern. Kitty’s always had a bad habit of sticking her nose into other people’s business, and that certainly isn’t about to stop now, especially not when she’s trying to help.  "You can come inside if you want,“ Kitty offers, giving the girl a warm smile. "It’s getting a little chilly out here.” // @omoide-no-mani

    ---- marnie let out a sigh, walking home. slowly. and in no real path. when she got home, she got home, and would deal with the consequences. with her basket on her arm, marnie strolled through town, looking at the shop windows, or stopping to chat with a bird on a bench. it was during this chat that the woman heard someone talking. looking around quickly to see if it was directed to anyone else, did she make eye contact with another. “oh, of course,” marnie replied, instantly smiling. she left the bird and took a few steps closer. “i couldn’t ask that. you just closed up,” marnie replied, “but would you maybe want to get a hot chocolate?”

|| evelyn​:

Evelyn just wanted to get away from it all. She wanted to escape the buzz of the island, the reflection of herself in windows of shops, the dismal energy of sitting in group therapy, so she ran to the forest for the afternoon and didn’t look back. And now she was lost. 

The echo of bugs either nearby or distant rang in her ears with the wind shaking the trees surrounding her, like horrible soldiers keeping her captive. She was supposed to be safe here. She had been safe here before, sketching the scenery in her notebook as she twirled clovers between her fingers. The forest had been a refuge, a safe haven, and yet somehow she had molded it into something sinister and wicked. A branch snapped somewhere in the distance and Evelyn turned around, clutching her school bag’s strap tightly in her hand,

“Who are you?” The words hung in the air and shattered like icicles as she mumbled to herself, “Oh dear…wouldn’t it be awful to be taken in a forest…”

    ---- marnie loved wandering through the woods to pick mushrooms. it was something her dad used to do with her. well. technically, it was something her dad did with her once. so, mostly, marnie picked mushrooms to get out of the house and to feel close with her father. though, the forest was a bit of a refuge to her- like a magical land.

the woman was stuck in her own world, not quite paying attention to if she was making too much noise. more often than not it was just her out here. but when a voice called, marnie jumped. “marnie soya,” she answered, trying to find the asker of the mystery question.

|| max:

“This is humiliating.” Max huffed, falling back from where he sat on the curb to lay back in defeat across the sidewalk. As if his dead car battery wasn’t bad enough, a dead cell phone meant he had no other options: he had to call Gio from his work phone. Now he was waiting outside the roller skating rink, his work shirt thrown over his shoulder and hands covering his face. “Sorry. Don’t mind me. Just go ahead and step on me.” He groaned as he heard footsteps approaching him.

    ---- marnie held her basket of goodies, trying to hurry her shopping up before her nan got home. but, she couldn’t ignore the person just.... laying in the sidewalk. “i can’t do that,” marnie replied apologetically. “i can, however, help you up or lay down next to you,” she offered, finally stopping next to the man.

|| coraline​:

Explorer of wonders

Coraline put her hands in the pockets of the yellow raincoat, mentally debating whether it was a good idea to come to the festival. To begin with, she wasn’t even wearing a costume. “I don’t even know how you convinced me to do this, but you owe me one.” She muttered to her feline companion who was now resting on her shoulders, earning a meow in response. Realizing that the person next to them was looking at them, Coraline shrugged. “Don’t mind us, we are a weird pair. Hope that at least you’re having fun. Whoever you are.”

    ---- marnie wandered, excitedly making her way to the fall festival. the celebration was something she couldn’t wait to experience. more than that- a party she wasn’t throwing! most parties she attended were her own since those were the only ones she could go to... or was invited to. in her rush to get to the fall fest, marnie happened upon another woman. a woman with a cat. “oh, no, i’m not judging or minding! it’s just,” she tried to hold in her excitement, “you have a friend with you!” she smiled, waving to the other and then to the cat.
