Jay: My latest assignment is officially a shit show.

Jay: Luckily, the bar's doing a free round for every karaoke song. Extra drinks if it's Valentine's themed.

Jay: Pick you up in 20.

Caffeine was always the first thing that came to mind in the morning, the craving for it almost incessant when it was what she needed to function. Except this morning it seemed life had played a cruel trick on her when her coffee machine refused to make her usual cup despite how much she tried to coax it with frustrated hits or swear words. In her search for the perfect fix she had gone into the nearest coffee shop she could find and waited her turn as patiently as possible (foot tapping aside when patience had never been her strong suit) before her order was finally place. Just before she could claim her fix, someone else picked up the cup bearing a poor imitation of the name she’d given to the harried barista and with a little clear of her throat she was quick to address them. “Sorry to bother you but unless your name is ‘Mac’ I’m pretty sure that’s probably mine.”

         Valentine’s Day was always somewhat of a sore subject within the Mercer household, at least for the past three or so years when Nicholas had no one to spend it with. After Sutton had departed Austin for a new life that didn’t include him or their daughter, he had tried fervently to move on --- but to no avail. It was like forcing his heart to heal before it was ready, so instead he chose to focus on Mackenzie, whose favorite part of the festivities was writing personalized cards to her classmates. The writing was too large and fairly illegible but she had worked tirelessly on them all night, even making valentines for the other firefighters at the station. The day after, however, and Nick was still hoarding his daughter’s crafts. Seated at a corner table in his favorite downtown coffee shop, his iPad set up before him as he caught up on the morning news, he turned to the person seated beside him. “Here,” he handed them a small piece of pink cardboard that had been neatly folded in two, a large misshaped red heart displayed on the front. “You look like someone who would appreciate a homemade Valentine’s Day card, even if it happens to be a day late. Courtesy of my daughter,” Nick further explained, the corners of his mouth inching upwards into a small smile. “I’m not nearly as creative as she is.”

Location: Mozart’s Coffee  Date & Time: Friday, 11:30 AM

With knees tucked to her chest comfortably, nestled into her favorite spot in Mozart’s Coffee outdoor patio that overlooked Lake Austin, Liv thumbed happily through Jane Austen’s Persuasion for the umpteenth time - all the while munching on a chocolate chip Biscotti. “Well, well, well. Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world...” she smirked to her newfound companion, flipping over the ribbon to mark her page as she closed her novel. “It’s so beautiful out that I couldn’t justify suffering through lectures.” Setting down her Biscotti onto her napkin, she rubbed her fingers of the crumbs. “Don’t tell anyone,” she whispered, a small grin playing on her lips. “Avoiding your responsibilities as well?”

                                       AND, WE ARE OPEN!

I know that many of you are still at work or in school, but for those of us who are here this is the post to indicate that we can START POSTING! The next few hours might be a little crazy with starters stacking on top of each other, lots of people joining us and general opening chaos, BUT please remember the following things:

You should answer the starters below yours before posting — This might not be possible for the first few people who post, but once you have posted yours PLEASE go back into the tag and see if anything has been posted. If you starter DOES NOT show up in the tags, please post a link to it in the OOC.

Everyone has until tomorrow to submit their accounts from BOTH acceptances. I imagine that you will have until Chelsea gets home from work, as I am unable to be here tomorrow. Any account not submitted by then, will have their space and face claim re-opened. If you need an extension on this time, please come to the main and discuss with us.

We are a ROLEPLAYING blog ONLY. We are not here for drama and anyone inciting, or partaking in unacceptable OOC behaviour will be removed from the group. Neither us take bullshit, so please don’t assume we will be lenient with your actions. 

You can find the starter tag HERE! Please also read through the rest of the page, as there are a few steps you should have taken on your accounts.

AND LASTLY — Have fun! That is what we are all here for, so throw yourself onto the dash and get this group going. If you have any issues, or questions we are always here. If you can’t get through to us here, you can contact us on our character accounts or on our Discords.
