alana didn’t mean to stare but she was curious. she didn’t spend a lot of her time outside of the water and so, in a way, she was confused about the human world and the way that it worked. “what’s that thing do?” she asked, pointing at it and moving closer to them. personal space wasn’t a thing in her book. in fact, she didn’t even know what that was. “can i see it?” she asked, her eyes jumping between the object they were holding and their eyes. before they could really answer her, she took it and observed it, turning it every which way, trying to figure out how it worked or what it did. “where can i get one?”

esther, while she loved being a medical assistant with julian, had decided to let that job go and focus on expanding her potion shop. she’d decided a couple of days prior that she was tired of sitting around and feeling sorry for herself. a part of her still felt extremely guilty about what happened at the fair, still partially blaming herself for the ferris wheel incident but she knew sitting around and beating herself up over it wouldn’t help anything. 

she cupped her hands and peeked inside of the empty shop, taking it in and trying her best to imagine her business inside of there. “this is the one.” she mumbled to herself and then turned as she heard someone behind her, “i know what you’re thinking, i look creepy looking in there like that but it’s not what you think,” she told them and then she realized who it was. “oh, hey. long time, no see i guess.” it was her fault she hadn’t seen anyone too. she’d been avoiding the majority of her friends since the incident. she shifted, getting the weight off of the foot with the boot on it. “how’ve you been?”

“i just saw the weirdest thing.” levi started, talking to the waitress in front of him. he wasn’t sure whether or not he should tell her because he wasn’t sure she’d believe him and he didn’t want her to think he was completely insane. “i mean,” he furrowed his eyebrows, thinking back on exactly what he saw, “it’s not normal for people to wear fangs around here, is it? it’s not even close to halloween.” he pointed out and at this point, maybe he was talking to himself. regardless of the weird things he’d seen since getting here and his sister’s persistence on trying to convince him, he was sure everything he encountered was a coincidence and it wasn’t real. “but i guess some people are really into the holidays. it’s like those people who listen to christmas music year round. they’re in the same category if you ask me.”

“have you ever left a situation and thought that when you left that things would get better? like,” jessica paused and looked over at the person seated on the park bench next to her. “you thought maybe that there was no possible way that it could get any worse?” she added. after her run in with axel, she’s immediately regretted moving here but what was she supposed to do? she signed a year lease and took up a new job. she couldn’t just leave. “it’s like you leave right? and one of the very things you were trying to escape follows you...” she trailed off, looking out in the distance for a moment. “i mean, does that make sense or do i sound insane right now?”

there were a lot of days that jessica wanted to rethink her decision to be an ER nurse. she plopped down on the bar stool, “sorry i’m late.” she breathed out and grabbed the drink she knew they ordered her before downing it and looking over at them. “look, it was a long day. i needed that drink. thanks, by the way.” she sighed and let her long hair out of the ponytail she’d been wearing it in all day. “next rounds on me. what’re you drinking?” she asked, her fingers running through her own hair to release some of the tension. she paused for a couple of beats, her eyes closed as she tried to relax in this moment, “tell me something good. i’ve seen a lot of shitty things today and i need something.”

“--so, what do you say?” yasmin asked the other, a small smirk gracing over her lips. “all you have to do is seal the deal with a kiss and you’ll have exactly what you want.” she added, her perfectly manicured nails brushing against their arm and her eyes on theirs. she was good at manipulating people. it’s what made her such a good crossroads demon. “and tonight’s deal is a once in a lifetime chance. you pass it up tonight and i’m not sure i’ll be so nice next time.”

"--don’t you just love kids?” flynn spoke with a huge grin plastered across his face as he watched a couple of kids run in front of him as he sat on the park bench. he was an elementary school teacher and he loved to surround himself with their energy as much as possible. he had decided to enjoy his afternoon after school at the park to help himself wind down from the week, a couple of papers in his lap as he looked over at the person seated next to him. “they really do just fill the air with so much....” he trailed off, furrowing his eyebrows in thought, “positivity.”

robbie had managed to get into a fight with some random bar bum after winning a couple of games of darts. they’d bet on it and he was set on getting paid. playing people was how he made his income and the guy had been some sort of sore loser, which caused the two to get into a fight and him to get thrown out of the bar. he stumbled out, “oh, yeah! throw out the new guy when he’s trying to get paid! fuckers!” he spat, wiping the blood from his lip soon after. he looked at the person who seemed to be watching. “i thought people would be way more welcoming on an island. i guess i was wrong.”
