Who: Everyone // @aurorabaystarterWhere: Oasis Night Club

A night of burning exes pictures, specifically for him, didn't exactly resonate with Tobias. But it seemed more fun than wandering through restaurants with couples making lovey-dovey eyes at each other (no hater in him for that- he respected that. It just wasn't a sight he really wanted to see that much of.) So a night on the beach front and letting people lose themselves in some healthy letting loose of old baggage seemed better. And it was a beautiful night.

"Oh. That person seems a little too into this-" Tobias half commented to him and half to the person standing next to him. Drink in his hand, he couldn't help but stay locked in as the person at the blaze got into this in a big way. "What do you think their ex did? Must have been catastrophic."

Damn Aiden Stevens and his far from brilliant ideas, Nikki thought as yet another person sat across from her. The bell rang. "Okay, lay it on me. Be honest." she took a quick sip from her drink. "Are we happy, surprised or mildly traumatized by the prospects so far?" she asked the other.

for: open to all !! @aurorabaystarter where: exes bonfire

"Oh, this? Nooo, no no, this is a very-not-empty Chex Mix box that I plan to devour in tandem with a six pack while I watch the carnage." Stevie shakes the box for good measure -- yup, full. "Why, what'd you bring to this thing?"

They pause before holding out the snack the other person. "Willing to share if you tell me all about your woes or whatever."

located @ the aurora bay museum of art

Bonnie stares up at the painting before her with big, watery eyes; the emotion of every brush-stroke is reflected in the romantic expression she wears, in the slight part of her lips. it's a popular painting - one of the most reproduced on gallery merchandise - but hello? for an art piece to be that popular means it's good, duh, and Bonnie's not going to let shame blanket her and stop her from feeling her freaking feelings in public.

" Oh, oh my gosh, sorry, I'll get out of the way, " Bonnie says, immediately feeling ashamed of how she was feeling her freaking feelings in public. She steps to the side to make room and blinks away the un-shed tears. " It's just so beautiful. I get lost in it. And especially this time of year... " Her eyes drag back to the painting, and she doesn't finish her sentence.

Jameson was helping close up for the night considering he didn't have any plans this year. To be honest, he was trying to avoid all the valentines festivities. He wondered if that was why Jude was still there or if he had plans but hadn’t said. Jameson could have believed either option to be honest. Jude was a man of mystery to him sometimes even if the older gentleman was like the family he never had. “ are you hanging around here to help me or you got some big plans this weekend ?”

where - timeless pottery's paint and sip

"I'm no Picasso or whatever," Valeria started, taking a sip of her wine as she looked at her own attempted clay tray, "but...what exactly is that supposed to be?"

CLOSED STARTER for @xlalitax at neptune

"Thanks for coming out. I know it's all Valentine's themed for couples, but this can be our Galentine's, right?"

The menu is something Joey doesn't want to pass up, especially since she skipped out on the Neptune event the last year. This year will make up for it, and at least she came into this one knowing who she would be sitting across from in the booth.

"I like dressing nice, and this is a great excuse. Besides, I feel like you've fallen off my radar. What have you been up to? How's life? How's work, or even something you have for breakfast last week? Just catch me up on everything."

Lorna could count on one hand the amount of times she had been in Crescent Moon. It wasn't a place she ventured often, and she didn't care to - that was Aeris' realm. She was happy staying in her world full of flowers and pretty wrapping. However, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to burst through the doors, waving a telegram in her hand, as she approached her neighbor.

"Just so you know, someone likes me enough to show it." She said, practically slamming the piece of paper down onto the counter, with a pleased smile. Although she didn't know who her 'secret admirer' was, it felt like a small victory in the everlasting battle between Lorna and Aeris. At least she knew she was worthy of someone's interest.

As she waited for a response, her eyes flitted around and caught sight of the numerous flash sheets - fixating on one in particular. "That's cute." She pointed out, her finger hovering over the heart made of stems and flower heads. Her skin had never felt the pain of the needle before, but whilst living on the high she received from such a simple heart (and getting to prove something), she felt she could do anything.

"How much?"
