WHO: Kit Sharpe & Aranya Natharuetai (@gravefed) WHERE: NYCBC fundraiser, hour 2

Kit knew she was risking a lot by joining the journalism career. A city full of scandal and drama didn't take too kindly to those holding a pen and paper, and she was destined to make powerful enemies in her line of work. Another, less deadly, downside to her work is the pay. The job was a labor of love for Kit, but even she knew when to accept that price and went to find shortcuts.

Perhaps that's why she found herself bringing Tupperware to this black-tie event. She knew her roommates would starve without her, but she could only afford so much on her current salary. Plus, this event was filled with rich people who wouldn't blink an eye at a few missing sandwiches, so really she was just doing everyone a favor. At least, that's what she was telling herself as she tried to sneakily tuck food into her purse. She only paused her quest when she spotted ARANYA NATHARUETAI hovering around her corner. Her eyes squinted a bit as she tucked the half-filled tupperware into her purse, excuses at the tip of her tongue as she watched the agent. ❝They were just going to throw the extra food out anyway. I'm just helping them have less food waste. Besides, don't rich people love giving to charity?❞ She motioned towards herself as she continued, ❝If you knew my salary, you'd agree that this is basically charity work.❞

“i’d say it’s going fineeeee- narcissa.” it wasn’t particularly reassuring, but kit wasn’t necessarily trying to be. she was just- doing what kit did. one of the things that she did best: running her mouth instead of addressing any of her issues. kit was becoming more forthcoming about this habit, at least now she was acknowledging to herself that she did it. “it’s just- there’s a lot going on these days. how’ve you been? how’s it going with getting a cell phone?”

“hi mom-,” kit hadn’t visited her mother at work since she first arrived. she had her reasons for this. but today- she marched into the office, with the id badge that her received on her first trip, as if she were a regular. actually, she had called ahead, two days in advance, and then double checked this morning. unheard of for someone who made spontaneity a character trait. “-we’re going for lunch, and i know your schedule is clear.”

@dcpravities (roy)

“so as you can see, i made it out of that building in one piece.” at some point, during the ordeal she had stopped giving him updates and gotten serious about getting out. and once she figured it out, she’d been zapped into thinking she was twenty again and fresh from a match. then, kit didn’t know how to use a cell phone, let alone to communicate with anyone named roy that she had made it out, and had reunited with a couple of her sisters. she also wasn’t sure if she’d text him any of that at all. they were just maybe friends, that occasionally slept together. she had multiple people to update of her status at the time. “and that wasn’t even the weirdest part of the ordeal.” she said, kit gingerly elbowed his arm. “what about you? did you get into anything?”

@drvcxrys​ (narcissa)

“narcissa, hey-,” kit practically threw herself in the chair across from narcissa. this was the first time she’d seen her friend in a few days, at least since all of the madness of that had erupted several days ago. she was coming from tennis practice, after insisting that the team finally get going again- so she was a bit late, and sweaty. but she was still here. “you good? texts are shit for getting a read on people.”

@drvcxrys​ (narcissa)

“so, you know, one of the last times i saw you, you were getting married.” kit tactfully held in the face that she wanted to pull, yet the sour expression remained anyway. that wedding had been something. and now that kit thought about it, probably being at the wedding was something of a mistake. hindsight and all that. “so if he were to turn up- d’you think that would still count? probably not, right?”

@mcrcki​ (marlene)

“what’re you doing out of school?” it had been a hard loss at the match tonight, after hours worth of messy gameplay, kit played the sore loser bit for about thirty minutes before headed out. “i know seventh year is the worst but-,” kit looked around. she remembered the match, the match had only been an hour ago, but where had the match been? “-they’re giving you the weekends off now or something?”

@tragcdysewn​ (abi)

“well hello, dear stranger,” she said to abi, having done the minimal detective work required to figure out where her sister would be (instead of, you know, texting her or simply asking around like any other normal person would). she cleared her throat, reaching to pull her older sister into a hug. “i missed you so much abi.”
