Emmanuelle was alone in the garden, and she had been dancing around with her headphones on for at least half an hour already. At least she thought she was alone. As she spun around, she saw a person standing there and a shriek escaped her. She quickly yanked off her headphones, mumbling, “Um... I’m sorry, I’m just... I thought no one was here.”

“bumpin’ party, huh - what did i miss?” she asked over her shoulder as one of her housemates came down the stairs into the living room.

It had been a rough night. Victor hated new places, and this place was just so different. At least his good friend nicotine had stepped up to help him out. Always a great distraction. He didn’t even look up when he sensed someone approaching him. “You think it’s possible to ever get used to a place like this?”

Another night in Safe Haven and Eva was starting to get used to it. She felt safe here which made sense, it had it’s name for a reason. The halls were relatively empty at this hour but she didn’t mind. Being alone wasn’t as scary now, she didn’t immediately think back to Oslo and what she’d left behind there - or what she’d done. A noise behind her cause Eva to turn around, scared at first at the sudden appearance of another person but quickly smiling at them. “Oh hello. I didn’t realize anyone else would be roaming the halls at this hour. Off to do something fun?”

Loïc was kicking back in the living room. Feet on the table, beer in hand, the works. Even through his state of immense relaxation, he noticed someone looking at him. He raised his beer to them with just the slightest smirk, “I think the phrase you’re searching for is ‘hey handsome’.”

What had started as a peaceful morning walk around the property quite quickly turned to a situation of terror when Parker felt his phone begin to vibrate in his pocket. Pulling it out, he stared at it for a long time, fear etched onto his features. No one had called him in weeks; not since everything had happened. Of course it could have been just anyone, but what if it was one of them? What if they were calling to tell him that they knew he was alive, and they would be coming after him to finish the job? Rational thought failing him due to his panic, he gave his phone a hard toss, watching it soar through the air, before it dropped down to the ground and out of sight. Being able to feel someone’s eyes on him, he exhaled a sigh, before a shakey sort of chuckle escaped him. “I uh, I guess this probably looks pretty weird to you right now. But hey, everyone is in this place for a reason right?” He said, before turning to face the person who had been witness to his moment of panic.

maggie scowled as she placed a toy on the coffee table of the living room. she’d misplaced the directions, but it seemed like a toy simple enough to know how to operate without them anyways. apparently, the directions were important because she had no idea how it was supposed to ‘jump’. she and ben stared at it for a few seconds before looking at each other. “sorry minnow, i dunno what it’s supposed to do so i don’t know if it’s even working. we’ll go to the store tomorrow and get something that you can figure out, okay?” she said, running her hand through his shaggy hair. just seconds later, the toy made a loud popping noise and propelled upwards off of the coffee table, which made both of them jump, magnolia scream and benjamin immediately scrambling to magnolia’s lap as he started crying, which only made maggie laugh in response. “honey, it’s okay,” she said with a small laugh, kissing his head. “did it scare you?” she asked, running her hand over his back as she rocked side to side gently. when she saw the other, she stifled her laughing a little. “i’m not --- i’m not laughing at him, i’m laughing at how fast he got to me,” she said, attempting to justify her actions, but she honestly didn’t care.

''Jason! Hi, how- ... Oh, yeah I'm free?''  Theo smiled fondly into the phone. He got attached too quickly. ''Yeah it's tonight right?'' Then his smile faded. ''W-we can reschedule? If-if you want to! I mean it's cool if no-...yeah...no, no it's okay! I'm okay!'' His voice became strained, put on, fake. ''Jace it's okay. Maybe another day?...N-no?'' And here came the glossy eyes, the defensive voice. ''It's okay, yeah. No hard f-feelings!...you have a good evening too...yeah..bye...bye.''

Theo was upset, naturally. This wasn't the first date that was cancelled on him. What was it? Too eager? Too nice? Why could he never catch a man? It was becoming depressing. In a house this tight packed and a community so quiet, he was starting to go a little nutty and just wanted something fresh and entertaining. Maybe fulfilling a love life wasn't the best of ideas, huh?

He looked over at the figure nearby, recognising them. He sighed, they saw that.
