@jacqui-velazquez where: tri-del v-day party when: middle of the night

feelin’ good, and feelin’ herself for once, alethea was happily being social. which was still fairly new for them. for so long they were the quiet friend, the lost in their own world friend, the stuck-up friend, the whatever-people-wanted-to-say friend. but tonight, they were just trying to be alethea. maybe a friend. 

skipping through the party, they were headed to the game room, when they practically collided with jacqui. “oh shit! i am so sorry.” alethea stepped back, one hand on jacqui’s shoulder to steady herself and the other already reaching to try to right the situation of spilled drinks in front of them. “here let me get you another drink and i uh, was headin’ to the game room if you wanted to join?” it was the least they could do right?

@jacqui-velazquez where: the commons when: middle of the week

the lingering whispers of guilt still seeped into leaky’s mind every now and then. today was one of those afternoons. what happened to penny had been tragic, but he couldn’t help the weird feelings surrounding it. and not just with g texting him. but the last time he’d been drunk his best friend and girlfriend died, and then when he finally decided to try again penny died. not like he was close with her but...weird right? was that a punishment from god or some shit? 

sitting in the commons, pencils drumming against his leg, his mind was reeling as a familiar face flashed by. it was jacqui. their presence made his heart speed up and not in the exciting kind of way. more like there was a rock in his stomach. was it misplaced? probably, but leaky couldn’t help it. only giving them a half-nod and smile as they made their way over.

@jacqui-velazquez​ when: after the penelope kline gave them orders like a dictator where: trekking toward the main lodge 

the perks of partying in one’s own chalet meant that when penelope barked out orders like a mad person, i mean it was just a little power outage and snow storm? they could all just pass out and wait till morning like normal fucking people, she could bundle up for her trek out with jaqui. meaning change of shoes, wool pants thrown over her tights and dress, and jacket wrapped against her. not pretty, but shit it was dark anyway. 

“okay but isn’t this a little...crazy? the sun is coming up in what? four hours anyway? people can pass out on the floor, they do it at ogden anyway.” ida offered with a huff as her boots dragged through the snow, threatening to dip below the rising height and fill up with the cold powder. “and like...what’s faculty member gonna do anyway? they’ll just tell us to stay put and quit partying.”

CLOSED STARTER for @jacqui-velazquez​​ LOCATION: Some practice room in the Music building ig??

Nestled in the corner of the couch in their rehearsal space, Avery was scrolling through TikTok on her phone, thumb swiping idly and only intermittently looking up to mumble a ‘see ya’ to whoever retrieved their belongings from the pile beside her and left. The group were done for the afternoon. Another jam session down in the books. Avery never expected to enjoy their regular meet-ups as much as she did but the hour or two they would spend together a couple times a week to enjoy music was easily one of her favorite ways to kill time now.

One of the last to vacate was Jacqui. Seeing them approach to gather their things, Avery nudged their shoe with her own. “Can I tempt you to stay?” She asked, thumb pressing the lock button on her phone and her screen going dark. “I’ve got...” Her hand tucked into her bag, reappearing a moment later gripping a pack of candy. “Snacks.” Sour Punch. Rainbow straws, of course. “Though if that’s not enough...” She reached into the pocket of a jacket she had laid against the arm of the sofa, revealing a well-rolled joint between her fingers a moment later. Her head canted to a side. “Down?”

@jacqui-velazquez​ when: pre-finals  where: some party off campus 

the whole campus was up and about before finals took them all under its death grip, and alethea was no exception. she was leaned up against the wall of the party, observing all of those who were definitely letting loose before the stress kicked in. she wanted to join in, to be fun, but it was the alcohol wasn’t helping much. 

and then an idea kicked it. if only...

straightening up from the wall they looked around the room, surprised and pleased to see jacqui walking in, a beautiful smile stretched across their face. one could never be in the presence of jacqui and not have a good time. “hey! jacqui!” they waved, pushing through a throng of people to step in front of them. “it’s so good to see you!”

closed starter: @jacqui-velazquez​ where: fast-food off campus  when: halloweekend

the night continued on and leaky had left his post at pike by this point. hunger had gotten the best of him, and he found himself wandering the streets near campus in search of something greasy and good. preferably fried, and cheap. and as he wandered, eyes set on a mcdonald’s he noticed jacqui heading a similar direction. stepping up his speed (as fast as he could as mario), he fell into step next to them. “boo!” he shouted for a moment with a smile. “is it that time for some late-night grub?”

CLOSED STARTER for @jacqui-velazquez​ LOCATION: Second Floor, Waverly Dorm

Knock, knock, knock. Kit wasn’t sure what the rules were when you beat someone up in the middle of a party, but he felt really bad that the scene he caused probably ruined the vibes of Ollie’s get-together. It was why he was here: fruit basket in hand in front of Room 201 hoping Ollie didn’t hate him terribly for what he’d done. It’s been some time between then and now –  the mostly healed cuts on Kit’s knuckles proof of that – so he hoped if Ollie was really pissed then that he cooled off a good amount by now. When the door swung open, Kit didn’t expect the person across from it, his face crumpling slightly. “Jacqui, hey... Sorry. Didn’t mean to bother ya. Is Ollie here? I was kind of hoping to talk to him.”
