SHE DIDN’T LIKE THE SHADOWS INSIDE HER. THEY TASTED OF DUST AND TOO MANY NIGHTMARES. SHE DIDN’T LIKE POURING THEM INTO OTHER PEOPLE’S HANDS. IT WAS HER BURDEN TO BEAR.

rory gave a dry laugh, looking at the other woman. “it’s alright, i’m being dramatic. i just live around the block.”

rory looked down at the countertop and squeezed the bridge of her nose, trying to relieve some of the pressure from this impending migraine. she turned to the person next to her. “do me a favor and call an uber, okay? do me a favor and make sure it hits me.”

after finishing her set, violet is nothing but keen to get a few more drinks into her and let herself have a good night. confidently making her way to the bar on her own, she approaches the next person she sees and makes her presence known. “say, if i shout you a couple drinks will you come and dance with me?”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

rory rolled her eyes at the other girl and took a sip from her cocktail, eyes scanning at the crowd. “it’ll take more than a couple of drinks to get me to dance, violet. the set was really good, by the way.”

“No— it’s best if I don’t play,” Eli blushed sitting on the couch, with a guitar she had been strumming. She pulled a portion of her hair in front of her face and pressed her lips together. The blonde had found a guitar at a party, but didn’t expect anyone to come and find her in the other room. She had always been shy in general, not just about her musical talent.

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“c’mon, you’ve got the guitar sitting on your lap.” rory said, crossing her arms as she looked down at the younger girl. “if you don’t play, i will, and god knows that’s going to be a disaster.”

“ I literally could not care less that Christmas is in like three days. Any and all excitement I had about it has completely vanished. I’m in no mood to celebrate - just want this year to hurry up and get the fuck away from me. ”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“ glad we’re in the same boat. although who’s to say that next year is going to get any better? not to be a giant pessimist, but... “

“The Ursid Meteor Shower should be at it’s brightest tomorrow night.  I’m even heading out of the city to get a nice view of it.  I’m hoping the skies stay clear enough to actually see them.  It’s the last meteor shower of the year, after all.  Are you planning on trying to see it?  It’s not too popular of a meteor shower, but you can see about ten meteors per hour.  It’s not nearly as many as during the  Quadrantids, Perseids, or Geminids showers, but I think it’s a nice way to end the year.”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“a meteor shower? not really my thing, but that should be a fun adventure for you. i don’t think i’ve seen a clear night sky in...god, it must have been years ago, at least. that’s so weird to think about. are you going with friends or anything, or are you just going off by yourself?”

“Okay I know I have a jumper on but I am please going to need to borrow your coat because I just got back from South Africa and I have never been so cold in my life so please…”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“fine. but next time you need to remember to take a coat for yourself.”

[itsnikkiarmstrong]

“–Hey, hey. Sit down and talk with me for a minute please. That creepy guy in the corner keeps staring at me and it looks like he wants to come over here. I mean I could handle him, but I’m trying the less confrontational approach.” Imani explained, as she sat at the table in the coffee shop.

[rorymxrtin-blog]

rory pursed her lips into a little frown at her friend. “well, i won’t shy from confrontation if he even starts approaching.” she said, taking a seat across from imani. “it’s been a while since i saw you last. how’s work going?” the brunette asked, keeping an eye on the man in the corner.

“You think I could bum a few bucks off of you?” Liza started with a smile. “I was locked out of the house last night- forgot my keys- and I’m freezing my ass off and nothin’ but a good cup of coffee could cure it.” She made sure to hug herself as if to shield from the cold to make herself as convincing as possible. 

[rorymxrtin-blog]

rory rolled her eyes, but reluctantly grabbed her wallet and shoved a twenty dollar bill into the girl’s hands. “be careful about soliciting strangers.” she warned, ready to continue walking.

[milithorne-blog]

“Has anyone ever told you that you have the most amazing eyes?”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“really? no, actually. i’ve always thought they were sort of plain, since they’re just brown.”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“Okay, you’re either going to have a drink and play this game of pool with me or you’re going to leave.” He said, his voice blunt, but you could hear his slurred words as he spoke and hit the balls with the stick. “Because honestly, I don’t feel like listening to your girly ass whining at this point and I probably wasn’t paying attention to anything you just said anyways.” 

[rorymxrtin-blog]

rory huffed, then looked at the coworker who had dragged her to the bar that night. “this is why i hate going outside.” she said, then turned toward the man at the pool table--he had triggered her competitive nature with the comment. “alright, well, this girly ass is going to kick yours at pool. hand me a stick.”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

rory looked up at the stranger who sat across from her. “oh--i’m a lawyer.” she said quickly. “i was taking care of her divorce, so, hopefully not as corrupt as half the lawyers in this city.”

[rorymxrtin-blog]

“god, people really played seven minutes in heaven? i always thought that was just in the movies. and send me some of those selfies next time. i’m still trying to figure out my angles.”
