glances to the side when he hears the voice, glancing around for a second before mouth quirked up. " why are you hiding behind a pole ? " brad asks, finding it amusing enough that he doesn't continue on his way. " it seems like it'd be more fun to get their attention over here, " begins though he couldn't think of anything else worse at the moment. stomach growling, heading for a bite to eat before going to a chemistry test and the paps seeing both of them would be a disaster at a level he didn't want to deal with. " you owe me a burger and some fries. "
"it's called a pillar," river corrected with amusement coloring his tone, "and i thought the reason was obvious." something he'd only let out in one interview in the past, maybe it was gq, that he had a secret love for architecture. so, if brad pressed or wanted to debate the whole tomato/tomato river was ready for it. his large hand rubbed at his jaw as he blew a bit of playful frustration out of his nose at the other's antics. "if you do that," the easy threat began, "i'll absolutely feed you to them and walk away unscathed." but thankfully brad seemed to come to his senses and river wouldn't have to resort to such measures. "good decision, but also if you pick a place i don't like i reserve the right to veto it until you get it right." mostly teasing, taking the piss, he smirked.

AUSTIN BUTLER drives Greg Williams back home
spoon popped between glossed lips as she listened to the click of heels echoing throughout the car park, though the cup of pistachio gelato was nearly dropped as attention snapped to the owner of the voice. “ oh my gosh , you scared me ! ” rosa never had been the most spatially aware if her reaction to another person was of any indication. while her heart settled from where it had launched into her throat, dark hues drifted to the cluster of vultures with their cameras before finding their way back to the blonde. “ i have time to spare , just don't ask to share my gelato. ” a playful note finding home in her voice. she had a terrible time saying no.
a laugh was the first thing to come out of him in response, but a hand instinctively shot out in the chance he'd need to catch something, or the woman herself, from falling. "sorry, sorry," his low timbre soothed between chuckles, "i thought you saw me. my bad. i hadn't noticed you were fully entranced by that... ice cream." it seemed rather cold to be walking around outside with the sweet treat but river wasn't truly judging, just surprised. hand rose signaling the white flag, he wasn't after her gelato. "i suppose that all depends on what flavor it is..." a wink, only playing with her. "it doesn't look like one of my usuals so i think it's fair to say you're safe. also... thank you." for staying, for keeping a lookout and wasting a bit of her time to do him a favor.
“ sure , ” male shrugs , hands shoved into pockets as his pace stalled . he was in no rush after all , letting the quiet of the night slowly bring things to a sense of calm . “ but don't worry about it , i don't need anything in return , unless you've got a spare cigarette ? ”
"i appreciate it, thank you." it wasn't an act. river's good nature wasn't some façade he kept up in order to keep himself in the good graces of the public's opinion and therefore the roles continue to come his way. it was just his way and who he was. "sure, i can spare one. my lighter's almost out though so you might have to give it a few tries." the pack and lighter were handed over together.
“ oh um , not that long ago ? ” cheeks are tinted with a rosy hue . never one to want to harp too long on her personal life , piper does her best to shrug off the lingering attention . “ and yeah … i mean …. definitely better than my stint being unemployed , ” the word stings . ‘ unemployed ‘ was a stretch to begin with . “ i’m really just going in and helping reset the restaurant . bring it to its former glory . no big deal … what about you though ? what have you been up to ? ”
"that is a big deal, though, and i'm so happy for you." always keener than she let on, ferah pulled back from the embrace she initiated quicker than usual when feeling the apprehension in piper. "what does resetting the restaurant mean? whole new staff, interior design makeover, or new chef and menu?" curiosity always bloomed when it came to things like this because in another life she might've been a restauranteur. "oh, you know," a casual wave off, "i've just been so busy. i've got a few campaigns i'm currently working on and, well, my family is in town overseeing the build of their first american hotel."
once she hears the mention of the bee, mila jumped just a little in her place. she was never the biggest fan of insects, especially if she wasn't aware of their presence near her. “ thank god you directed it in a different way, then. ” tone as soft as can be as mila offers the male a smile. she definitely recognized his face, but the ballerina was rather horrible with names. perhaps it was because she grew up in the public's eye, or because she just simply couldn't be bothered. “ i owe you. it's gone now, right ? ” she asked, looking for the reassurance so she won't have to leave the post when she just got there.
"i think so." though river smiled there wasn't a full confirmation in his tone. "if it likes your perfume it might come back so just stay aware if you're allergic or anything. otherwise it'll hover but likely wouldn't bother you much." the stings did hurt pretty good but since they died with that sort of act they rarely went on attack unless truly threatened. "nah, you don't owe me. i figured avoiding possible medical emergencies to be a humanitarian act." that smile of his broadened a bit. his blue eyes caught the recognition, he was too used to it to miss it, but was glad she hadn't said anything. "or, you know what, maybe you can share what you're listening to..." river loved classical music.
perhaps not the best look towards a client of his, but idris would worry about that once he was out of this situation. " thanks. i'm not usually so unprepared, but all my stuff is at my office. i didn't think a gym break would cause so many issues. " he gave a grimace. " i can change a tire, i just don't have the tire to change it with. it's been on my list, but personal life comes second to work so i've yet to get it done. so if you could call a tow, that'd be great. "
"don't worry about it." a smile was delivered despite it not quite reaching her eyes, which had nothing to do with him. ferah understood his stress and didn't take it personally. "no matter how well prepared we think we are life will throw us curveballs anyway." phone in hand, her driver commented a service to call for the tow so she handed her device off to him. "you can come in and charge your phone up if you'd like."
dominic doesn't answer straight away - not because he's considering saying no, but because he's already clocking the situation before the words have even finished leaving the other man's mouth. “ you've got at least two still out there. ” he adds after a beat, voice quieter now as he moves to lean against the wall near the other. one foot hooks loosely over the other, hands slipping into his jacket pockets - relaxed, nothing about him screaming lookout even though that's exactly what he's doing. “ but you don't need to ‘ owe me one ’ for it. ” not that he was the source of their affection but he was practically hiding out too, more so from other people rather than the paparazzi. “ consider it… neighbourly. ” gaze moved from where it was locked onto one of the photographers, glancing at the other with a raised brow. “ hounding you, were they? ”
"not yet, but... i'm trying to keep that from happening." blue eyes were casually fixed on his company for a moment, watching for any signs that would point to the need to move quickly from their current hiding spot. "neighborly, huh? don't get too much of that here in new york." tone non-judgmental, just an easy observation from his experiences around the city over the years. "thank you. maybe you won't accept a favor in return but if we make it outta here without having to run then perhaps i can get you a coffee or something before we part ways." something in the other's body language told river that he wasn't exactly wanting to be spotted either but river wasn't going to pull on that thread just yet.
open starter anywhere that makes sense
"oh my goodness, congratulations!" on instinct alone, or perhaps an assumed social necessity, ferah leaned in and hugged them following the news they'd just shared with her. "when did you find out or get the confirmation?" the question came as she was pulling back from the embrace. it seemed fresh given the excitement and the fact that she'd been in the right place at the right time to be the first person to be told, to find out. "this is what you wanted, right?"
open starter anytime, some parking garage downtown probably
"hey, you mind doing me a favor?" hiding on the inside of the garage and leaning back against the large cement pillar he'd nabbed the attention of someone passing by. "could you hang here with me," his low, deep timbre began, "for ten to fifteen minutes? i need a lookout to tell me when those paps head off." some starlet had gone into a building across the street and a few doors down and he was doing his best to avoid being spotted and harassed as well. "i'll owe you one." a charmed smile took shape. "you can call on it anytime after today."
status : open for all location : off the side of the road , could have been driving with him , or just a passerby !
" this cannot be happening ! " deep voice rumbled as he opened his car door , stepping out of his car , stress smeared all over his face . " a flat ?! a damn flat tire . " furious didn't even begin to cover what he was feeling . " and a dead phone , any chance i can borrow yours ? or better yet , do you have a cable so i can charge mine ? " at least that way he could still check his emails .
how anyone's phone could go dead these days was beyond ferah's understanding. that complaint had been the first thing she'd heard him rant since she'd pulled over and rolled down her window. from her spot in the backseat she'd witnessed the flat and him making it to the shoulder of the road, and while her driver insisted on continuing on she had decided to be a good samaritan. "i'm pretty sure i have a cable in my bag." a turkish accented reply was called out the window as she began rummaging through her birkin. "do you need us to call anyone... a tow? or are you equipped to change the tire yourself?" despite him not being able to see she pat the headrest of the seat in front of her. "i'm sure he could help if you don't have the skill."
status : open for everyone location : central park reservoir
holding a cup of hot chai in her hand, after being finished with her private classes for the morning, mila found herself around the reservoir looking at the skyline of the west side from the east. she did find central park to be obnoxious at times, but beautiful at most. she was so spaced out with her airpods in her ears listening to whatever podcast was in the background of her walk, that she didn't even realize someone was talking. “ i'm sorry. ” the ballerina says as she takes out one airpod. “ were you talking to me ? ”
"my bad, sorry." with his hat low, not to shield him from the sun particularly but from social scrutiny, river took a step back. "you had a bee flying around you and i was just trying to warn." some people were allergic and that could be fatal. he'd spaced on the fact that she might have had something in her ears and had actually assumed she was that zoned out and hadn't heard him until then. "i was trying to guide it away, didn't mean to startle you." the poise and posture were easily recognizable and somewhere in the back of river's mind he was curious if she'd been listening to music for something upcoming.
#𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗋𝗍𝖾𝗋 ›› ft. yujin baek location: a cafe, restaurant, or store in the city, midday. status: accepting replies
call ended after final word was delivered, neither room nor time left for argument from the person on the other end. after phone was returned to her purse, yujin made her way back to where companion waited. ❝ where were we ? ❞ announced her return. apology deemed unnecessary, and the door to what had briefly called her away shut behind her; own matters were not for other ears.
"i think we were deciding on an appetizer." when it came down to it ferah wasn't bothered at all. she understood. it'd been the way members of her family had moved since she was little. business always came first so she didn't bat an eye when yuin had to take a call away from the table, nor did she fuss when she'd returned. "did you see anything you particularly liked?"
open starter featuring kamala srinivasan. location: movie premiere where kamala's song was featured. status: currently accepting replies.
after talking to the press about her song in the movie, kamala tired of saying the same thing over and over again. to be honest, she had no real personal connection to the song because just like all of her other songs, she didn't actually write it. don't let the fraudulent credit fool you, the songwriters that the labels hired for this asked for her input on one word and called that a credit. same old shit, as far as kamala was concerned. when she saw someone approach her, she let out a sigh of relief that they didn't have a microphone in their hand. if she had to do another tiktok dance or recreate another stupid trend, she was going to lose her mind. she understood why she was the person who everyone thought would love something like that but she hated it. " oh my god, it's good to see you ! " kamala wears the smile that has become almost automatic over the years. " what is this movie about again ? " even though there was no microphone or a camera shoved in her face, she still needed to perform.
"i'm not too sure to be honest with you." the answer was accompanied by a smile. something charmed and friendly, inviting... ministrations he was well accustomed to when it came to public appearances, walking red carpets, and doing media. if there was a camera around he had to be on. "they didn't tell you when you were putting the song together for it?" since he hadn't really dabbled into the music industry he wasn't sure if it were the same on each project. "i figured you would've at least gotten to see an advanced viewing." broad shoulders rose and fell and his blue eyes drifted momentarily, taking in the scene and hoping he could continue to lay low. the reason he'd come was at the insistence of his agent given that his upcoming project was attached by the same production company.
⋆⋅✰⋅⋆ ⁄ … [ austin butler, cis man, he/him ] hey, i think i just served RIVER KINGSTON ! you mean the THIRTY-TWO year old ACTOR + PRODUCER known for their CHANNELING NOSTALGIA IN A MODERN, EFFORTLESS WAY ? no way, what did they order ? MOSCOW MULE. wow, no surprise for someone whose garnered a reputation for being CREATIVE AND IMPULSIVE. i heard the hostess say they were being targeted by @ROBINHOOD because of SEVERAL SIGHTINGS IN INTIMATE SETTINGS WITH A WELL KNOWN PRODUCER TWICE HIS AGE. maybe it's just me but it doesn't align with the tabloids screaming about THE GLEAM IN YOUR EYES BEFORE YOU SLIP A SARCASTIC REMARK, NIGHT SHOWERS WITH SOFT LIGHT, STARGAZING TO FEEL SMALL YET INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, A DEEP VOICE THAT FEELS LIKE A CRACK OF SUNLIGHT FOLLOWING A RAINSTORM whenever their name comes up. make sure to deliver the drink to the ACADEMY SUITE ( GUEST TABLE ) and let’s hope they're a good tipper. if not, i'll happily send in some stories of my own.
