WHO: Darrius & @xjaylahopkins

WHERE: Party, Pride Weekend (Vibrations)

WHEN: June 8, 2024

While Vibrations might not be his usual scene on a Saturday night -- Darrius preferred to drink in one of the more lowkey bars -- he made an exception for Pride. Getting to spend the evening with friends, or maybe even making new ones, was something that he had been really looking forward to, and thankfully, he hadn't been disappointed so far. Making his way off of the dance floor, he spotted a familiar face at one of the high top tables, breaking into a grin as he saw Jayla and gestured towards one of the tall chairs. "Save me that seat, I'm just going to grab a drink!"

WHERE: Creek Fest

WHEN: September, 2023

"Do you think we need a big wagon, or will one of the little ones work?" Ryder asked as he looked over at his roommate. "I know that we said we wanted to get a bunch of pumpkins, but I don't really know if that means a dozen, or three dozen... or just three?" he laughed, glancing around the pumpkin patch at everyone wandering around, picking up pumpkins, tapping them, trying to find the best shapes and sizes. "We don't want to go too overboard, right?"

"I swear, this is really dangerous," Ashleigh said with a laugh as she crouched down to scritch the ears of a baby goat, looking up at Jayla. "I cannot have farm animals on a house boat, but coming to this booth in particular is making me wonder about the logistics of a house goat." That probably could not swim and would be in danger every single time that it got up on the dock, so... maybe not. Still, it was hard not to want to smuggle them all home with her. "Do you ever feel that tug to just adopt every animal you come across?"
