open starter! (@palmviewstarters) location: on the beach at the party

"i think i'm gonna live here forever," stella mumbled, her legs buried under a sufficient layer of sand as she let her hair fall back against the towel she'd positioned under her head. her eyes were closed, and the gentle smile on her face proved that she was at her most relaxed state, and that time had become all but irrelevant the moment she hit the sand. she opened one eye, grinning up at the other person, then down towards her legs. "i'm like a little crab in the sand."

natalia's nose wrinkled at her first sip of whatever fruity monstrosity was placed in front of her, and she'd hardly had a chance to argue with with the person behind the bar before they walked away (how hard was it to make a good drink? did these bartenders have no training?). she let out a huff, straightened her shoulders, and pushed the cup six inches further away from her, glaring at the back of the bartender's head. when she turned again, she felt the eyes of the person next to her, and let out a groan.

"don't look at me like that. it's not my fault he sucks at his job. like, god, learn how to make a good drink before you become a bartender." tough words for someone who'd never worked a food service job before!

“He won’t bite you.” Arturo assures with a point as Hubert, his orange Maine Coon, leashed and enjoying the warm sunshine, stretches out next to another sitting in the sand of the beach. He clicks his tongue, getting the cat’s attention long enough to place a small cup of whipped cream in the sand between his knees as he sits in their usual spot. “Might kick sand at you though. Sorry in advance.”

"I don't know what they do to these raspberry cream cheese Danishes to make them so delicious, but I am addicted!" Laken exclaimed before taking a bite of her second danish. "The bakers at Sunshine Bakery are wizards or something."

she's  somehow  found  a  spot  that  isn't  surrounded  by  couples  or  screaming  children;  hidden  in  a  small  little  cover,  but  the  perfect  spot  to  people-watch.  a  little  warm  due  to  all  of  the  bodies  around  but  enough  so  she  isn't  having  to  move  out  of  the  way  every  single  minute.  except  —  “oh,”  is  what  she  says,  seeing  someone  looking  for  a  seat.  “this  isn't  taken.  it's  just  me.”  she  tries  her  best  to  give  a  genuine,  shy  smile  -  shuffling  her  back  into  her  lap  instead  of  beside  her.  “are  you  going  to  try?  the  s'mores  thing,  i  mean.”

" oh, come on.. can't we talk about this later ? " alyssa asked, pulling her sunglasses down over her eyes to block the sun from being able to get into them. “ it is a beach party, after all. " she paused, taking a quick sip of her drink that was resting by the side of her lounge chair. and i don't know about you ? but i could so use a beach day right about now. ”

[sunshinesfm]

" okay ! " she said, clapping her hands together excitingly. " i am so going to the sundae ice cream bar. please, tell me you're coming with me ! " it was no secret that hadley was already having some fun at the beach party. one thing about her ? was she had simply always loved being down by the beach. " maybe afterwards we can go listen to the music ? or watch one of the movies. i don't remember what they're playing right now, but we should sooo go check it out ! "

“  i've  never  been  to  a  beach  party,  ”  isabel  admits,  surveying  the  area.  there  was  a  lot  to  do,  and  it  was  honestly  a  little  overwhelming.  “  what  would  you  suggest  doing  first?  ”

“  do  you  mind?  ”  she  pushes  her  sunglasses  down  the  bridge  of  her  nose,  staring  down  the  other  with  a  withering  gaze.  christine  did  not  come  to  the  beach  party  to  mingle.  no,  she  was  here  to  relax  on  her  own,  and  that  was  that.  “  you're  blocking  my  sun.  ”

karaoke was one of kenna's favourite pastimes. while she wasn't the best singer, she loved to get up there and sing her heart out. she had put her name on the list when she got there and her turn was finally coming up next. "you have to come up with me. come on, it'll be so much fun!" she practically begged the person next to her.

open starter: @palmviewstarters - Waverly

It’d almost been three weeks since Waverly moved into Palmview, and while she’d made a lot of progress on unpacking, she knew she needed more fabric for her next project. She went to the local craft store and she felt like she’d bought the whole shop! She walked out of the store with an arm full of bags filled with fabrics and all kinds of things she’d need. Unfortunately for her, it was difficult to keep it all balanced, and when she turned and bumped right into someone, some of her bags fell right to the ground.

“Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry! I’m the clumsiest.”

“  OH  MY  GOD  !  ”  marlowe  exclaims  rather  loudly,  picking  up  a  stray  cat  that  has  wandered  into  her  guitar  case.  the  feline  doesn't  fight  the  sudden  grab,  soft  purrs  vibrate  out  of  its  chest  as  marlo  wraps  its  soft,  furry  body  into  a  gentle  embrace.  “  i  feel  like  i  totally  know  this  cat from somewhere.  “  big  doe  eyes  gaze  insentively upon  the  feline's  face  for  a  moment,  a  beat,  and  another,  then  she  audibly  gasps.  ”  oh  !  this  is  my  mother  !  "  lips  pull  into  a  wide  smile,  eyes  shift  expectantly  at  the  other  person.

Marcel was busy behind the counter, organizing a large plastic tote containing items placed on hold. On occasion, someone would request an item and if it happened to pop up at a garage or estate sale, he'd set it aside. It was a perk reserved only for his favorite regulars and not a service he usually provided. He placed a small collection of Rolling Stone cassettes into the bin along with a couple of baseball trading cards. At that moment, the bell chime of the front door went off and he peeked over the counter. "Your sense of timing is impeccable!" he waved them over with a grin. "It didn't take me long to come across what you were looking for. Fate herself took some time out of her day to push me in the right direction." He picked up the tote and placed it on top of the counter to greet the familiar face with a smile, "If I hadn't gotten turned around and ended up on that dead end street, I wouldn't have come across that yard sale." He motioned inside the bin, "Now, if you're no longer interested that is fine. I'm sure it will find a new home in no time."

"you planning on signing up?" holly asked, dark red nails tapping against the bar countertop as she nodded towards the sign up sheet at the end of the bar. it definitely wasn't her thing (hell, this whole place wasn't her thing, but at least the live music aspect made up for it), but she was almost certain that some overly enthusiastic soul would bounce through the front doors at any moment and snag that choreographer spot in a heartbeat. the thought of it made her head hurt already, but she kept the easy smirk on her face as she stepped away from her spot on the bar to make a drink for one of the regulars that had just walked in.

"better jump on it quick, i hear it's a sought-after job," she said, her voice dripping in snark as she poured the drink, setting it in front of the regular's spot, before turning back to the person in front of her. "or, do you just like me that much that you're sitting here with me on a monday night?"

it was a tiring day and evelyn decided to take a seat at the bar. luckily, she was off tomorrow so she figured she'd stop by. she wrapped her hands around the glass and turned her head toward the other when she noticed someone had decided to sit down beside of her. " long day for you too ? " she'd ask, bringing her cup up to her lips. " all i know is.. i'm just glad that i won't have to set my alarms too early for tomorrow. "

loc: sweet scoops ▸ muse: felipe ▸ open @palmviewstarters

Taking advantage of the weekend sale, Felipe had gotten two large ice creams for himself to enjoy while he worked on updating guest calendars and vendor work orders for the b&b. He was just starting in on the second one when he noticed a newspaper on the occupied table next to him. "Mind if I take a look at that after you're done?" He asked them, pointing at the copy of Palmview Press with spoon. "Gotta check the astrology section 'cause i've been feelin' off all week and i'm pretty sure mercury's got something to do with it.."
