Lucky Strike!

Closed starter for another lover of chaotic fun @mpxalexander

So far--minor emotional crisis aside--the year of the dragon had been a good one! And on this day, Felix was just having a great time, really. Just a typical day at Galaxy Games, nothing out of the ordinary; kids and adults both having fun which was really all he could ask for. One could easily mistake him for just another patron with how he was dressed, a classic red 'eat. sleep. game.' hoodie with blue jeans and red Chuck Taylor hightops--but what stood out the most was the light-up headband he wore of multiple alien eyes. It made him difficult to miss!

Little did he realize his day was going to get even better as he wrapped up providing a kid with a prize--hard earned, too, after raking up all those tickets from absolutely DESTROYING at Skee-ball (his personal favorite), so he had no reservations about handing the girl her "IT'S SO FLUFFY! I'M GONNA DIE!" plush unicorn (as well as bonus candy necklace for funsies). And as she went bounding off to her guardian with her treasure, he was approached by a new fellow who just had a great vibe, ya know? He'd seen this guy around a few times, enjoying himself with the games, and now...he...

Wait--was this guy asking to WORK at Galaxy Games?

Immediately, Felix's entire person lit up, a sparkle to his eyes and a dimpled grin illuminating his face. "Ayoooo, let's fuckin' go! Interview starts NOW!" he exclaimed excitedly as he hopped one-handed over the prize counter and motioned for the guy to follow him away from the games and toward the bowling alley, specifically the registration area where he then slipped behind another counter to the wall of shoes. "I hope you like bowling~," he chimed in a sing-song tone. "What size shoe are ya? And oh--" he glanced over his shoulder toward the patron. "What's your name, by the way?"

"Sir, this is Babylon." Slightly confused with the inquiry, Yeji did her very best to keep her gentle smile and even stood up from the reception chair to meet his gaze and height, bringing a sense of attentiveness to the conversation. "We have snacks available, such as fruits, hummus and cheese in the lounge areas." Yeji nodded, gesturing with her hands towards the direction the food items would be.

"If you wish to have food during your time with one of our beauties, please kindly ask them if they'd be comfortable with it first." Her voice is still calm, hoping the man before her would be understanding that not everyone wished to have crumbs in their bed. "Please be aware that we do not have room services for food, we hope you understand." Yeji never dwelled in thinking what happened during the appointments, but her instinct made her feel that food wasn't a common concern during people's time at Babylon.

❛ i'd say you live up to your reputation. ❜

"Yeah, is that so?" he said with a snarl. The easiest way to irritate Yohan was anything that could relate to his past. So even the slightest hint of an irrelevant comment from a stranger at the pits, let him fall back into old patterns. With an unreadable look on his face and a cold tone of voice he crossed his arms over his chest and planted himself in front of the stranger - and possible threat - so that there was no way to avoid this situation.

"Amuse me..." He stepped forward in his still threatening manner. "What would that so called reputation be?" His voice made clear that he wouldn't let this issue slip and he couldn't care less how this situation would end. The stranger toughed him in a sore spot - wittingly or unwittingly didn't matter right now.

❛ if that's what you want, i think you should do it. i'll help you out. ❜

For as long as she had lived in the mountains of Kunlun, Xiwangmu could not rightly say she had ever tried skiing before, yet with the winter wonderland that Skadi had created, how could she possibly resist an opportunity to give it a try? So dressed in golden ski wear, she decided to brave the slopes; given, it was a beginner slope because, well, she was quite aware of her novice status and wasn't a complete idiot when it came to trying new things, but she was confident and did not waver in her resolve. She was an empress, after all! "You think so?" she said to the young man standing near her. She tested her skis with a slight rock forward and backward, breath escaping smiling lips in a fog as it clashed with the chill of wintry air. "Have you ever done this before?"

❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜

Visiting Babylon was fun, not just because he got to see Invidia, but because it seemed the place drew out not only the sinners but the interesting people as well. Something was always happening there, it seemed, whether it was good or presumably bad, well, that was another thing entirely.

That night, though, it seemed he'd caught someone slipping without intending to. He'd just dropped off his lover, headed in to say hi to those he knew when he happened to look in the stranger's direction when it happened. Noel had seen him before he was pretty sure, but he hadn't paid much attention until now.

And what a way to do it.

His lips nearly gave him away. They urged to break into a grin and he could feel the rumble in his chest almost slip out but he somehow managed to keep it at bay. Barely, but he did. "Mhmm." He squeaked, looking in all and every direction possible to stop himself from laughing at the sight of such an attractive face nearly getting to meet the floor. "Believe me, I want to forget too."

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

Esther had just got into her shift at Noonas. So, for now, light music played on the speakers, some stock music that she was sure the boss used so that there was still some ambiance. Though, she did believe there was a notable difference between her performance and that was a source of pride. So after setting her things down in the back, she was about to head to her instrument when one of the waitresses begged her to run a drink out for her.

Without any hesitation, she did, and she met the amusing comment of the other. "Don't worry. I will play soon." She teases, placing down the wine glass onto their table. She snickered softly, taking a step back. "I know you meant the wine. I hope you enjoy your drink. Your waitress said your yummy food should be out soon."

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

ft. ( @mpxalexander )

Sweaty and out of breath, Theodora looked up at him. Her heart thumped within her chest and her lungs claimed for air. With the exertion, her clothes felt tight, like a second skin on her body. She felt warm but sticky. A few strands of black hair found their way out of her scrunchie and now framed her face, accentuating her ruby cheeks.

Theodora couldn't remember the last time she felt like this. In fact, she wondered if she ever felt like this at all. It was an odd sensation, but definitely not a bad one.

"I know, I know. But..." she muttered under the breath she was still catching on. It took her a moment, but Theodora regained control of her breathing. Or just enough that she could speak without pausing as often. She cleared her throat, inhaled and a second later exhaled.

"You're right," the historian looked over her shoulder to the mostly empty street behind them. No one seemed to be following them, let alone chasing them. Good. Theodora was not sure how much more running she could handle. Not to mention the weight of her backpack on her back. She couldn't bring so many books from the library.

"What happened? What got into him? Why was he chasing us?" The questions kept on coming but no answers followed them. The only thing she was sure about was that she needed to work out more. "It was chaos back there."
