WHO: Ryder & @xjoellasuh

WHERE: The Mirage, downtown

WHEN: October, 2025

"Maybe I should have invited you out to do something that wasn't pretty much exactly like work," Ryder said on a laugh as they started down the stairs to the Mirage, pushing aside the bead curtain at the bottom and turning to look at Joella. "But I guess at least karaoke is a little different than performing for your job, right?" if nothing else, she could judge everyone else that was up on stage. "Wanna start with something to drink? Little liquid courage?" For him, not for her. He knew that she could handle it.

WHERE: memorial library, suburbs

WHEN: march, 2026

"Alright, I have a few books that might help," Josh said as he approached the table he and Joella had designated for some research time, setting them down carefully, "but I'm thinking most of what we're going to find is going to be online." Which was why they had brought computers along. As much as Josh would prefer to do everything the old fashioned way, sometimes it was just easier to dive into the world of technology. "Did you bring pens and a notebook?"

WHO: Lena & @xjoellasuh

WHERE: Town Hall, downtown

WHEN: Earth Week (April, 2025)

While there was so much that Elena wanted to do during Earth Week -- and so many things to check off her list -- there was no reason she couldn't have a little fun with it in the process... right? As she stood outside Town Hall with her list in hand, she glanced up to see a familiar face approaching and broke into a grin. "Hey, Jo! Are you going to give this a go, too?" she asked, flicking the corner of the paper, scanning over the items before looking back up at Joella, her eyes sparkling, "... actually, if you are, do you want to team up?"

WHO: Stelly & @xjoellasuh

WHERE: Touchback, downtown

WHEN: after hours, November

"It's just such a weird season from now until after Thanksgiving," Stelly lamented, carefully pouring some cranberry juice into a glass, and beginning to mix it with a little vodka, adding ice, contemplating what they could do to make it... different. "Halloween, everyone wants orange drinks, or something green like apple, or even something you can make black with sparkles, you know? But Thanksgiving themed drinks are a little harder. Cranberry's a given, and I guess you could still keep the apple and pumpkin, but what am I going to do?" they deadpanned, looking up at Joella from across the bar. They had invited their friend over to brainstorm some fun drink ideas, with the promise that a little buzz would make the walk home that much warmer. Ish. It was getting colder out, now. "No one wants a turkey and stuffing shot. And thank God for that."
