buying these.

Fritz blinked, looking over to her as he buttoned up the dinosaur shirt over his undershirt. He beamed at the compliment, turning his attention back to the other goods for a moment of thought.

“Eh– I don’t know, those seem sorta like lady things, K–” he paused, seeming to think it over for a second before picking up the pirate blouse in particular. He studies it in thought, scrunching up his face. “This one does seem pretty legit, though– heh♪ Alright! I’ll take this one too!”

Karen smirked to herself as Fritz thought the suggestion over. He finished buttoning up the dino shirt which suited him in a weird way. She was sure Fritz had some secret skill of pulling off unusual clothes. And of course she was able to land an extra sale and a little more money. Setting up that lost and found sale bin was one of her better ideas.

“Great~” she said with a smile, not really bothered by the fact she persuaded him to buy a blouse. “I’m sure you’ll look just as great in it as that dinosaur shirt.”

Uncharted || Open

Angelo traced his fingers over the spines of each book on the shelf as he searched, muttering the titles out loud to himself. It wasn’t often that he found himself in the library - he would be the first to admit that he wasn’t a fan of reading - but he had found himself with a new idea that he wanted to try out. He just needed an extremely detailed map of the islands for it.

He finally found the book he had been looking for - hopefully it would have everything he needed and he wouldn’t have to come back again later - and pulled it off the shelf with a small noise of triumph. Cheery with success, he spun on his heel and quickly began to make his way out, though he barely made it two steps before running head first into somebody.

“O-Oh, sorry!” he exclaimed, though quickly shut his mouth again when he remembered that libraries were meant to be quiet. “Sorry,” he repeated in a softer tone, more than a little sheepish. “I wasn’t looking.”

『 🍷 』The library wasn’t usually Karen’s scene. She wasn’t one to read books in spare time for fun anyway. No, she was here on business. Pirate business to be exact. She needed some maps that could help her plan their next heist. After all they’d only have one shot at it. But in order to do that she’d need to know all the access points.

She’d finished asking the librarian for such a book and was on her way to pick it out. Her eyes were glued to the shelves as she walked, following the Dewey Decimal System to where the location. She was close now, getting ready to turn to the next shelving, when she ran into someone.

Her eyes shot to the person as they let out a loud apology which practically echoed in the quiet space. A smirk spread across her face when she noticed who it was.

“If you wanted to say hi you didn’t have to literally run into me,” she whispered back to him. She hadn’t expected to bump into him at the library either, figuratively or literally. Her attention was drawn to the books he was carrying. Which looked suspiciously like the one she’d been wanting.

Pointing to the book with the smirk still on her face, “Whatchya got there?”

buying these.

The second he saw them, Fritz knew he wanted them. No, not wanted - needed them. That was the lucky thing about the lost and found, too! So much good stuff just left, and no one to claim them! He didn’t even remember who they might belong to, but he didn’t care.

He scooped up the shirt and jacket from the lost and found, already putting them on as he called in to his boss:

“Hey, Karen! I’m gonna buy these! Take it offa my pay, yeah?♪”

Karen lifted her head from the magazine she had been reading. Had to keep up appearances and all at the laundromat otherwise people could get suspicious. But there was nothing of interest in the darn pages. It was such a snore, so when she heard one of her crew speak up she turned her head.

A spark twinkled in her eye as she saw Fritz of all people pilfering through the lost and found sale bin. Perfect.

“Yeah?” she asked, watching him don the new clothes. “They look good on ya. So would those bloomers and socks. Oh, and maybe that shirt will help you look the part of an actual pirate~” she called to him with a lilted voice. It was always easy money with Fritz around.

[RB] Wires and Sounds || Louis & Karen

@in-lou-of

Once Karen saw the request board to help construct The Velvet Room she was all for it. Not only did that mean there would be a nightclub in this lame city, but she’d get paid handsomely for her work. Glancing down the list she noticed a single name written next to “Audio Setup”. That had to be easy enough, right? Plus, it sounded low risk for injury to her legs. Can’t risk loosing her lead role at the theatre.

Taking their contact information, Karen quickly tapped it into her phone.

[ To Louis ] wanna b partners for velvet room?

[ To Louis ] i can meet u there in a hour if interested

After hitting send, she wondered if this guy was good looking. It’d be a great afternoon if she was getting paid to be in the presence of someone hot. Flirt and put wires around the building. Sounded like the easiest money she’d ever earned.

No Whining at the Winery || Molly & Karen

@livin-lovin-molly

It was Karen’s first day at the winery. Molly had told Karen the uniform was business casual and thus she dressed as such. A white, sleeveless blouse along with a pair of black slacks and matching heels. Granted it was a little fancier than she liked. She would have appreciated a pair of boots and shorts any day, but she wasn’t about to tarnish the appearance of Molly’s winery.

She walked through the doors of the establishment, ready to sell some wine to some patrons. Or restocking the shelves. Or whatever else Molly needed some help with. Honestly, Karen would be happy doing paper work. Though, helping patrons do some wine tastings didn’t sound too bad either.

Speaking of her boss, there she was hard at work. Karen approached the woman with a bright smile, “Heya Molly!” As she reached the woman, Karen struck a pose and winked, “Got all dolled up just for you~”

Karen laughed as she continued to speak, “So, what can I do for ya?”

Prima Ballerina || Muffy & Karen

@muffymoondrop

Karen headed towards the Alexandria Theatre with a flyer denoting auditions for Romeo and Juliet that very day. She had her duffle bag in tow, carrying her leotard and shoes so she could change upon arrival. Of course, Karen knew joining a ballet production was a huge commitment. She’d be there for several months in preparation for the performances. But that gave her just enough time to pull some money together and be on the road again.

As she approached the building, Karen noted the place was very impressive. Even more so once she entered. It looked like a fine establishment, which beg the question of just how good her fellow dancers, nee competition, would be. Asking one of the hostesses where for directions to the changing room and the stage, she was on her way.

Thankfully the place wasn’t some sort of labyrinth and had a simple enough layout to understand. Karen was able to find the dressing room no problem. There were plenty of other girls there getting ready. Some were chatting with one another and others were already at the ballet barre warming up and doing stretches. Karen took one of the empty lockers and changed into her purple leotard and white slippers. She’d already put her hair into a neat bun atop her head.

Taking her place at the barre, she admired herself in the mirror. She never felt more herself than when she was dressed for dance. After a moment she started doing her stretches and waited for one of the theatre staff to direct them on what to do next.

Karen wasn’t sure how much time had passed when an attendant had come into the room. Long enough that Karen felt confident with footwork and was in the zone, ready to blow the recruiters’ minds. The attendant led them toward the stage and a line of danseurs passed the ballerinas. It looked like the males had auditioned before them. Karen glanced at the procession, wondering which one would be Romeo.

Once on stage, the attendant instructed the girls to perform various moves and a small dance from the play. Karen made sure to be wary of her facial expressions while performing. A lot of inexperienced ballerinas would forget that they’re acting on stage and thus look like the needed to go to the bathroom while trying to nail their moves. Karen performed each stance with precision, gliding across the stage as gracefully as she could, aiming to make the best impression.

Watch Where You're Going || Jake & Karen

seakissedwine

jake-out-the-humans:

When the person – who turned out to be some human girl, even better – Jake scoffed and was about to keep walking. He had no time to argue with some stupid girl. He was about to walk away, until he heard what she called him.

Jake looked back at her, eyes narrowed in annoyance. “Excuse you?” He said irritably, imitating her words from earlier. “Who are you calling Grandpa, you stupid woman? Do you even know who you’re talking to?” He taps a foot impatiently. Jake didn’t have the time to be caught up with something like this. “My eyesight is perfectly fine. Much better than the person who can’t even take the time to actually look at what’s in front of them while they’re walking.”

What was her problem, anyway? She needed to watch where she was going, simple as that. Instead of trying to argue with him like some fool, she should have just taken his generous advice and moved with her life. Now she was wasting time for the both of them.

And Grandpa… hmph.

He was not old.

Did he... did he just call me a stupid woman?

Karen’s eyes narrowed as she glared at the shorter man. Granted it was only a couple inches but it was enough for her to look down upon him.

“I’m calling you, the old fart with white hair, a grandpa,” she sneered at him, “And you listen well, Grandpa, because I’m not about to let you treat me like dirt over something you caused.”

Honestly, could this guy be any more of an ass? If he had just said sorry like any other sane person the two of them could have gone on their merry ways. What did he get out of placing blame on other people?

This guy was a real piece of work and she was going to give him a piece of her mind. “You’re the one with cataracts, Grandpa, because you couldn’t see someone walking right in front of you.” She poked him in the forehead on the last word to drill her point across.

“But if you insist on being a salty old geezer, I have better things to do with my time than stand here listening to you,” she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

Harmony Day Bouquet || Angelo & Karen

thewindmillartist

There was no way Angelo would miss the chance to send his beloved cousin flowers for an event like this, though he had no doubt she already had plenty. Hopefully she had enough vases to hold everything she received. He didn’t know much about flowers, beyond the colour meanings that had been explained on lists around the plaza, but he thought he had done okay. Orange roses, yellow chrysanthemums, and green carnations wrapped in a royal purple ribbon were held carefully as he rapped his knuckles against Karen’s front door, determined to deliver them himself.

Karen had been admiring her two bouquets when she heard another knock on the door. In her good mood she bounced up from the couch with a smile on her face. She wondered if it was another delivery for her~?

Checking the peep-hole, she saw her cousin on the other side. Her grin only growing wider, Karen started to unlock the door. “Angie, what brings you--” her sentence stopped when she noticed the bouquet of flowers in his hand.

“Don’t tell me those are for me?” she said, a little stunned and flattered, but also guilty since she was clearly empty handed. She stepped back from the doorway, gesturing inside, “Come in, why don’tchya? It’s been ages since we last caught up.” Too long, in fact.

Home Style Dinner Date || Karen & Rachel

seakissedwine

alteliarachel:

Much to the farmer’s surprise, she was bought during the date auction! She was glad to be able to help fund for the upcoming masquerade ball, since she knew it’d be a blast, and plus, she got a date!

It came as a shock that Karen was the one to bid highest on Rachel, though (at least to Rachel). The woman was confident and beautiful, and it was a little relieving that a girl had won rather than a guy. Rachel had little experience in the field of flowers, and it was high time she got a little bit! Even if the date wasn’t meant to be a romantic relationship-y kind of date, it gave Rachel a chance to see what it was like.

The blonde had already decided what the date would be, regardless of whomever won. It would be a home cooked dinner plus dessert, and it would be delicious! Rachel was going to cook Curry Rice with a side of some sauteed vegetables, and for dessert, some Pineapple Cake! She also bought a nice bottle of wine, and she hoped that Karen drank alcohol.

The two had agreed at the auction to meet up at Rachel’s place at around 6pm. For a good few hours before then, Rachel had been cooking away, making sure that everything was nice and set for when Karen arrived. The blonde changed out of her lazy house clothes and into something a little nice, since it was a date after all. She made sure the dogs were out in the barn playing with the other animals, and Claire was out for the night. Now, all that was left was for the date to show up~!

fairykissedwine

After winning her date at the auction it’d been decided that Rachel would cook dinner for the two of them. Of course, Karen couldn’t refuse a home cooked meal. It wasn’t like she got one very often. Living by herself meant she’d have to eat her own cooking and since that could easily lead to a trip to the clinic she usually went with take out or something that could be thrown in the microwave. So, upon hearing Rachel’s suggestion she was quick to accept.

That was, however, before she realized just how far away the darn girl lived. It was practically a hike across the city to get to this girl’s place! The things I endure for the promise of delicious food, she thought to herself as she walked along the path. At least she hoped the food would be delicious. She was working up an appetite and it’d be a darn pity if she wouldn’t be able to sate it.

Finally, finally, Karen reached Blue Sky Ranch. She could only hope she wasn’t too late. As she walked up toward the house, Karen glanced around at the ranch. It looked more like a work in progress than anything. She didn’t see any animals around either, but they could have just as easily been hiding in the barns.

Reaching the house’s front door, Karen knocked without further ado. She stood in the warm summer air, grateful that she went with her usual attire of shorts, tank top, and vest combination. She hoped Rachel didn’t mind that she wasn’t all dressed up. It sounded like a relaxed kind of thing anyway.

Now all she had to do was wait for the door to be answered.

The Masquerade || Karen & Mark

seakissedwine

blondteddybear:

He was admittedly a bit jittery waiting for Karen to arrive. His costume was a bit… restricting but like hell would he give it up. He looked damn good in it. Now he just needed to see Karen. People had been coming in, some with dates… okay a good chunk of them had dates because of that blind date thing, but there were a few that were flying solo.

Mark kept the mask off his face for the time being just so that Karen would find him.

…Then again it’d be difficult to not find him because he was a 6′4 wall of muscle. He breathed and shifted foot to foot, anxiously just waiting for her to show up.

He heard a throat clear behind him and he immediately whipped around, the mask he had dangling from that fake sword of his flew off the handle and skittered across the ground, “Agh, dammit. Hey Karen.”

Karen spent the better part of the afternoon getting ready for the ball. She didn’t want to admit just how long she’d spent on fixing her hair for the evening. On any other day Karen wouldn’t have cared as much. But tonight...

Tonight was different. Not only was she bound and determined to gain everyone’s attention from her dress, she was going with someone. Not just anyone, either. Mark freaking Evers. The guy who was able to put butterflies in her stomach since grade school. If there was anyone she wanted to impress it would be him.

She took great care to make sure her dress and hair were perfect and her mask in place when she arrived to the auditorium. Many people were arriving at the place, mostly in groups in two. Karen searched around to see if she could find Mark in the crowd of masked people. It didn’t take long her to spot the blond in a bright red ensemble. It helped that he wasn’t wearing his mask, but she got the feeling she’d be able to spot him in any crowd regardless.

His attention was elsewhere as Karen approached the man. Perhaps he was trying to search for her? Either way she decided to make her presence known by clearing her throat. He seemed anxious, or at the very least jumpy considering how fast he spun around. His mask even flew off his sword’s handle to land by her feet.

Karen chuckled, “Hey, yourself.” She stooped down to pick up his mask. Dusting off the imaginary dirt, she handed it back to him. It was then she took a moment to truly appreciate what he was wearing. “You look amazing,” she said with a smirk, “I love the sword.”
