Text -> Asher

Balo: Hi Asher! How is your day going? I have a question, and hopefully it's not too stupid. Do you ever feel nervous? Because my dad says he wants to call me later this week and I'm freaking out and you always seem on top of everything. And I was wondering if you had any advice?

Asher ( @asher-dean )

It had been a few days since Ches had seen Asher, she had been otherwise focused with everything going on in her life to seek him out. One would think that with as much as she had on her mind lately, she wouldn’t notice she hadn’t talked to him, that she’d be too busy to feel his absence. The person who thought that however, would be wrong.  She skips up behind him in the hallway, hugging him from behind. “Guess who!” She jokes before she lets him go. “I’ve always wanted to do that, was it as cute as it is in the movies?” She doubted it was, but hey, she had literally skipped in the hallway, if he didn’t notice her coming before she was there - that was on him. She had made it easy on him. “You have a moment for your favorite Elswood, right? I need to talk to you about something.”

Asher always knew how to make an entrance, didn’t he? Her dad letting him come up to grab books and stuff for the school year before he went back to his internship, really came at the worst time. He’d be grouchy about for a while, she was certain, but she had slid his name her father’s way out of love. It wasn’t easy to get an internship in his office directly, typically interns got put in the other offices, helping out a brand instead of the entire conglomerate. If he did well? It’d was a reference some people only dreamed of.

She settles down next to him, setting what was left of her hard liquor on the table in front of him. She had to restock after the camping trip, there was no doubt about that. “Figured you’d need this.” She explains as she rests her head on his shoulder and starts cuddling up to him. “I’ve missed you so much. How long are you here for?”

She never liked having her closest friends gone, okay?

Balo was still trying to wrap her head around everything that happened, Logan going missing, him returning with a warning from the Churchill Circle. Maybe it was because she was easily frightened, but the whole concept terrified her if Logan was lucky to be intact - what would they do next time. Was the circle willing to kill?

It was needless to say the girl who had nightmares after watching Rugrats woke up in the middle of the night, crying, terrified and shaking. Usually, she would seek out her cousin, but she didn’t really want to bother him, so she decides to go to the next safest person. 

She’s still shaking a bit as she leaves her room and goes to the door she was looking for, knocking on it. “Asher.” Her voice is soft, the fact she was crying was very apparent in her words. “I had a nightmare, can I hide with you?” She was vulnerable, there was no doubt about that.

“Well, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes. Good morning, Asher!” Ches smiles at him as she invades his table, not even bothering asking him for permission to sit down before she does. If he had a problem with it, he was just going to have to deal with it - she missed him, she was stealing his attention during breakfast. “Sleep well? I didn’t but I have the best idea!” She grins before she takes a bite of her bagel, holding up a finger as she chews to signal she wasn’t even close to done with that thought.

“We should start a pyramid scheme, one of the more culty ones though - you know - like the Church of Scientology or some shit. You’re pretty, I bet we could convince people to join and pocket the money for ‘administration purposes.’” Okay, so it was a thought she had in the middle of the night that had stuck with her which probably meant wasn’t actually a good idea. But honestly, any idea she started with the phrase ‘the best idea’ was probably just a shitty impulsive idea she hadn’t shook yet. “If we write a bible or toss in some kinda product, it’s legal. As long as there’s some kind of product, the government calls it an MLM.”

Honestly, Ches didn’t even need the money - she had more than enough to get by for the rest of her life without lifting as much as a finger if she wanted to, but she was bored and it sounded better than... rereading the books in the library again or something she’d already done a few times like that.

“Anyway, how are you doing this fine morning?
