Mickey’s arms were flung around her brother Ferret, a trainwreck of a gangly boy, drenched in twinkles of indigo and flecks of silver, like a comet that’d crash landed and sunk next to an out of place Freak Show sign. “Fucking love this shit, wish it was still PC’. Feel like a gawk at a peg legged swamp hag or whatever they used to show in there.” Upon closer scrutiny, Mickey had actually crossed out Costume Pageant, then replaced it with her own Nars lipstick sign, which she was now fondly circling using a saliva swabbed lollipop. “Like my handy work?” She then underlined a crude drawing of an imp, with a large member dangling from between it’s legs. “Love to catch a monster like that one day.”
“clearly you’ve got a talent,” renata said, stopping on her tracks to contemplate the drawing as if it was some work of art she’d stumbled upon. “really love what you did with the lines there, gives it character, for real,” she nodded, breaking into a chuckle after a moment. “i stole a bunch of markers from a booth earlier because the guy wouldn’t stop pestering me, you can definitely have them if you promise to keep up the good work.”
“Ren!” She hopped up on her toes, having spotted the other in the small crowd coming out of one of the rides. She waved at her to catch her eye, pushing through a couple that rudely stepped in front of her, ignoring their indignant remarks as she practically skipped over to Ren. “I got 20 bucks and my eye on a the Giant Panda, wanna help?”
“that was the worst ride ever, some guy puked like right before it started and i honestly would really like to die or have a shot right now,” renata said, rolling her eyes as she walked away from the cursed ride, letting her frustration stay behind her as she focused on her friend’s excitement. “okay, you know what, sure, that sounds good. what do we have to do, distract someone and steal it or are we actually playing a game?”
signing up to work the kissing booth was perhaps naomi’s worst decision to date. it was supposed to be a joke, put her name on the list and laugh about it for a second or two then forget all about it and inevitably never show. but then her neighbor had signed up, fully intentionally, and all but dragged naomi to their shared shift. worst of all, kimmy was being extra loud about the whole affair, shouting into the passing crowd “kisses for a dollar!” it was like something out of her nightmares, literally. she was all but burying her face in her hands when she felt a shadow fall over her. looking up from her seat and peeking through a hole in her fingers, naomi sighed. “how can i help you?”
“do you want me to try, i don’t know, calling the cops on her? should be easy getting something we can plant and they’ll take it away for a little while,” renata joked, though she was eyeing kimmy with earnest distaste. “or i could just spread a rumor that one of you has mono and make sure no one comes bother you — bottom line, if it’s gonna be you offering kisses, you should be upping the price at the very least,” she added with a smile, immediately glaring at some dude trying to get in line behind her right after. “just wanted to offer rescuing, if you needed it.”

- renata lópez pietro, a whole twenty one years old, majoring in computer engineering, oldest sister to nico, a seventeen year old little devil she’s left behind in buenos aires.
- if you ask her, she’ll tell you her dad’s a politician, her mother a trophy wife. or that her dad disappeared when she was little, and her mom brought her along when she came work as a cleaning lady in new york. or that her dad worked at mcdonald’s and her mom was a big name in the obama administration. the only thing she keeps in her stories is nico, because she talks about him all the time so she needs to include him somehow.
- to get the truth out of her you gotta unlock at least ten thousand levels of friendship and that’s easier said than done because her defense mechanisms are perfect, she wrote the code herself.
- besides her baby brother who’s still in high school, the one thing ren loves more than herself is money. she’s very goal oriented, and her goal in life is money. it drives her professors insane because the girl’s got a talent for computers and yet? all she cares about is bitcoin inversions.
- has more shoes than you’ve ever seen, never leaves the house without mascara, lipstick, and a calculator. laughs loudly in inappropriate spaces. doesn’t usually wear a bra.
- can party like her life depends on it but she’s got a good sense of self and doesn’t let herself get too carried away. doesn’t do drugs besides weeds. used to smoke until she realized how expensive it is and became a social smoker.
- when she was about fourteen, she made a website for “confessions” aka the her high school’s gossip blog. it wasn’t a nice thing to do and she wasn’t nice about anything on it, but it was self preservation — due to many things concerning her parents actual life and occupations, nico was getting bullied, and she had to stop it somehow. she’d never been the victim of anyone because she would bite anyone who came close (literally, sometimes), but nico was more vulnerable and renata would die for him. instead, she did a little character assasination online of people she didn’t like. as she got older, she realized knowledge really was power, especially knowledge people didn’t want you to have, and she also realized people were really bad with computers and passwords. hacking into systems was a piece of cake. she helped nico get into the football team he wanted to play at, helped herself get into college, did a little blackmailing here and there to get herself moved to a nicer apartment — renata is going places, and she doesn’t really care how she gets there as long as she does it on a timely manner.
- she was approached to help with the app by someone who had seen what she could do. the app was merely an idea at the time, and they needed someone who could really work the algorithms. she wrote a bunch of subroutines for it, fixed glitches, worked mostly on the underlying maths of it. even now, the app’s her baby, she put so much work into it she can’t help being proud even if it’s causing chaos.
- yeah she’s bi and has no reservations when it comes to sex. not being clear about what you like and what you want is a waste of time, you know? and that....... is all i have! thnx for reading now please plot with me ily
