Eric lounged on a bench in the park, his head back, enjoying the day. It was starting to get dark, but he didn’t mind. The air felt so fresh and he wished he had spent the day out on the water instead of at home doing some basic chores. So he had been determined to take an afternoon walk with Max.

Max was probably the smallest dog Eric had ever seen--especially compared to his tall physique. But the little guy was bountiful with energy. As Eric leaned back, Max ran around the bench while his leash was firmly strapped around Eric’s wrist. 

There was a few tugs and then some barking, and then Eric looked up to see Max barking at an object lying on the ground. Eric got up and picked it up, looking around. Ahead on the path he saw a person walking away.

“Hey,” he called after them, jogging slightly to catch them, “Did you drop this?”

Snack Break

Hades panted and wiped his face with the bottom of his loose workout tank, pulling out his earbuds once he reached the the little outdoor cafe in the park. He managed to order a water through his wheezing, as well as an egg salad sandwich—because why not? He deserved it after a good, long run like that.

Thankfully the food came quick and Hades gratefully accepted his bottle of water and sandwich, flopping down onto one of the wrought iron seats at an open table. After chugging down a healthy portion of his water, he tore into his sandwich, ignoring the globs of egg dripping down onto his chest. It wasn’t until he noticed someone staring that he glanced down and saw the problem. With a shrug, Hades set his sandwich down and proceeded to peel his tank off, draping it over the back of his seat before smirking at the onlooker. “You can't spill food on your shirt if you're not wearing one,” he chuckled breathlessly, grabbing his sandwich once again.

Eric sat at the tall table, already feeling a little tipsy. Three beers will do that to you. He looked around, not really sure why he was here. He hadn’t planned on going out and getting wasted, but here he was, wallowing in alcohol. Part of him hated sitting at the bar, telling his sob story that he didn’t really have to the bartender, and then leaving a fifty dollar tip for five beers because he can’t think straight. But another part of him was urging him to go interact with someone. So, hoping to not look like a creep or complete drunkard, he went over to the bar and sat down next to someone, ordering himself another drink. Start a conversation, his brain screamed at him. He wasn’t the kind of guy that went into places hoping to leave with someone. But, he was a charismatic guy with the tendency to come off as flirty. 

“Hey,” he said to the person next to him, giving them a smile, “Can I buy you a drink?”

『Dress || Open Starter』

Finally, finally, she’s finally saved up enough to buy that beautiful, crimson dress that she’s been staring at through the window for the past few months. After saving up all her paychecks by living off of cup and instant noodles, eating the food in the diner she got for lunch and sometimes dinner and drinking tap water this entire time. she’s got enough money to buy what she would love to be her wedding dress.

She changed into it immediately in the toilet of Grimm Galleria, stepping out like her usual self and strutting around the mall with a confidence she hasn’t felt recently since she’s been written out of her father’s will.

Seeing a figure a few feet away and judging that this was the perfect time to show off her new dress, she walked up to them like a red carpet model, and smile brightly while waving at them, “Excuse me, but what do you think of my new dress?”

“Hey,” Eleanor called to the person across the street. “Have you seen a golden retriever? I may or may not have accidentally dropped my dog’s leash.”

『Rain || Open Starter』

Rain wasn’t always something Aurelie enjoyed, in fact, she’d go as far as to say she hated it. Rain seemed to slow everything down: slow down days at the diner; slow down the moving vehicles on the road; slow down days where she would be out window shopping; slow down time in general actually.

Another reason she hated rain was because she would never be prepared for it. Every rainy day she’s experience had come with something she’d never expected, or that she had simply forgotten to bring an umbrella with her. 

Which was the case for the present.

She was stuck on the opposite side of the Grimm Galleria, under the awning of what seemed like the entrance of a flower shop. Her golden wedges was standing close to a puddle of water, too close for comfort to her, and she looked around the area to see if she could charm anyone into letting her borrow their umbrella. 

Until a speeding car rushed past her and splashed her whole body with water from the puddle too close to her feet.

“Great, just great, could this day get any worse,” she looked around her general vicinity, noticing someone walking towards where she was, “Hey, do you know a way to get out of this rain?” She gave the person a self-pitying smile, despite her body dripping wet from the water.

『 park walk || open starter 』

Aurelie was never one for the 'great outdoor'- looking at the floral and fauna the world had to offer never really interested her. Sure, she liked flowers but the heat, occasionally unpredictable weather and insects had always kept her away from forests and parks and the like. So what she was doing walking around in the park? No one told her to slow down and smell the roses, so why was she doing that? 

She hated the outdoors, and the tan she was bound to get if she stayed out any longer but she continued walking down the cobblestone path, soaking up the sun and humming a lullaby to no one in particular. Maybe she wanted to bump in her sister; maybe she wanted to meet new people and have friends, actual friends that liked her for her and not her last name; maybe she just needed a breath of fresh air or something.

And it was working for a while. She was calm, relaxed and felt like she was floating through the wind. Her blonde hair flew behind her with the wind, and she felt like a princess walking down the red carpet again, even if she was only wearing simple clothing that were not branded and were too casual for the red carpet.

Until she heard the grass crunching underneath a foot that definitely wasn’t her’s. She turned around swiftly, blue eyes looking around her surroundings to know who was there, but keeping a small smile on her face to look friendly to a stranger.

“Who’s there?” Her voice was almost in a sing-song manner, standing straight and proud to look confident. A new person to talk to, how nice!

Candid || Open

Delicate pencil scratches had turned into a full person in the last twenty minutes as Yunqi watched his subject only a few tables away. The Plaza’s food court was busy enough in mid-morning that he felt confident that he could draw someone without being noticed. A smoothie and a muffin sat amongst the spilt contents of a pencil case on the table.

It had been a little while since Yunqi had done candids, though surely it was going well. He made sure not to stare to long or too obviously, and it was going well until he looked up and startled so hard that he dropped his pencil. In the moments he’d been focused on the page, his subject had gotten up and moved over to his table. Their expression was a little unreadable, though Yunqi was sure that he wouldn’t have been too pleased if he’d seen someone watching him.

Fidgeting a little, Yunqi tried to keep his cool. “Hey there. Can I, um...” He pressed the sketch book against his chest. “Can I help you with something?”
