open/@ drews house on a saturday at his bbq

andrew had lived his life as a married man for going on fifteen long years, and been together longer. the first half was a dream come true, aly had stolen his heart in high school when he had sworn he would never settle down. with her in the beginning it was easy. though as the years had went by the man had ruined his marriage and driven his wife away. mostly into the arms of other men, he had no one to blame for her behavior but himself. fast forward to modern day and andrew had forced her to move to hmb. with the move he had thought that he could save his marriage though he didn't realize just how much he had ruined not only his marriage but his beautiful wife. she deserved so much more that how the man had did her and he knew it was just too late to try to fix things. he had promised her the two could stay married and pretend for their families so she could keep her money but they would separate.

it had been one month, one long and miserable month since drew had officially been separated. he wasn't sure why it was so hard for him. the two of them had been living their lives separate for years. nevertheless andrew had sent out a event on the hmb facebook page about a barbecue that he would be having. by the time it had reached ten pm drew was feeling pretty tipsy. it was the second time in years that he had been this drunk, and oddly enough the second time since he had been in hmb. swinging his frozen margarita around he stood on the second step of his dim light pool.

"are you coming in?" he turned and asked them.

open starter to all. whatever you want to be broken have at it. stress my man out.. or dont

as sevket stood looking at the broken item he made a little face scrunching up his nose and furrowing his brows. he stood in silence for a good two minutes before he took a breath and began to speak, "okay- let's run through this one more time." the man said now averting his eyes back over to them. "tell me again how in the hell this managed to break. don't get me wrong i can fix it.. you just have me a little confused on how one breaks something like this."

sevket was fairly sure that he could fix it however no one wanted a fairly sure answer. he had learned in his line of work it was best to handle everything with confidence if he had wanted to keep business flowing. with a scratch of the head he relaxed his face and turned back around to look it over once more. "it just might take a little time.. and cost a little bit more." mostly because he knew it would take a few pieces of trail and error to figure this one out.

Never in a million years was Sam expecting to move back home in the middle of some sort of festival. Maybe he should've expected in considering where he was, but alas, it didn't matter. He was walking around alone today, his girlfriend still putting together her gaming setup, of which he offered to help, but was actually useless in helping, so she'd shoo'd him away. Artist's block was hitting him hard so he also hadn't bothered to try drawing anything. "Uhm, excuse me?" Sam tapped on the shoulder of the person nearest to him, "My apologies, I just got to town. What's going on? I've tried to find information," a lie, "but figured it would be better just to stop by."

"Come on mother," Eduardo spoke into his phone with a groan of frustration, knowing his mother on the other end of the phone had a right to be annoyed. He was just tired of hearing it, "You are safe there... Uncle agrees... they won't treat you like that... of course they'll feed you. Just ask for whatever you want and the chefs will make it for you." After a few more frustrating minutes, Eduardo sighed and sent his love to his mother, hanging up the phone and looking up to see someone watching him pace in the book shop, "I'm sorry," he apologised quietly, "I should have taken that outside."

c l o s e d [ c a p p e d: 4/4 ]

Oli was looking forward to being back in town after a long weekend away, a small pep in his often-clumsy step as he made his way back to work. He was looking forward to training the horses again, but one of his favourite things to do was teach people to properly ride horses. He tended to get all sorts of people; people wanting to ride for relaxation reasons, dressage wannabes and people who's partners had dragged them along for a date day and couldn't give a shit about horse riding if Oli paid them to. He was excited to work out who he had that morning, "Morning...!" he greeted with a wide smile, "I'm Oli, I'm gonna help you get up on that horse over there, okay?"

Record stores weren't his thing, but they weren't not his thing, either. He'd unearthed one of Nan's record players and a handful of records, and had carefully brought it back to Half Moon Bay with him when he'd returned. While he'd never seen her use it, the collection of records was just odd enough to be very, very personal.

That was, to say, absolutely none of it was his taste.

So here he was, at the only record store in town, rifling through what they had to offer, wondering if he would stumble on any hidden gems.

"I don't think this one is for me," he said, placing it back where he'd taken it from. Not really caring if he was talking to a total stranger or not, he didn't elaborate. He wasn't trying to convince, at least not this time. Or maybe not yet. "Do you have any suggestions?"

status: open starter location: walking in downtown half moon bay

As much as Emira loved shopping for work and shopping in general, she loved walking the streets of the city in downtown just a little bit more. She enjoyed exploring just as much as getting her steps in so why not do both at the same time. "I'm glad we could finally get together and get caught up," she said to the person beside her who chose to walk with her. "How have you been? Did you have a good time over the holidays?"

santiago couldn't help but chuckle as the two had stood there. he looked over at them and shook his head. "don't tell me that you are scared.. come on." he teased giving them a nudge. "it isn't a big deal-" he paused. "you just have to go first."
