open for: @starteroaks

where: @ the giant board games, dealer's choice what game they're playing!

"I think I've got this in the bag," Atlas says with a little too much confidence for someone who doesn't have his next move figured out -- nothing new there. He leans down slightly, peering closely at the board as if trying to invoke some sort of clairvoyant vision for where they would move next so he could best it.

"Your go."

Who: Open! Where: Light Year Library community room

Hadlee took a deep breath and shook out their shoulders. This wasn't the first book club they'd run, but it had certainly been a while. Fantasy wasn't necessarily their favorite genre (not that genre's are concrete things, a thought for later) but they had the perfect book in mind: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. She'd read it a few months ago and was certain it would be a hit. She made sure the library had enough copies and had seen it go out a few times since the poster had been put up.

Chairs arranged informally in one of the community rooms, snacks laid out on the head table, projector displaying the book cover on the walls. The room was set and perfect; all that remained was for people to show up.

It was the perfect afternoon. Spring was starting to take root, and Aaron could've sworn he heard birds chirping. Like something out of a fucking fairytale. He had taken up the hobby of journaling... his therapist was a big fan, but he thought it would be nice to get some fresh air, and caffeination wouldn't hurt. So, like many weekend afternoons of the last year, he found himself sitting at a table at White Rabbit, pen clicking idly in his hand.

There was a hot black coffee in front of him, which he occasionally remembered was there. Maybe it was nearing tepid, but he had other things to focus on. Like self-reflection, and sunshine, and the music playing in his headphones. "I never did believe in the ways of magic, but I'm beginning to wonder why...."

He felt a pair of eyes on him, and he blinked, before slipping his headphones off, giving them a sheepish grin. "Did you need a seat? That chair is absolutely free!" He took a moment, realizing, blushing. "Oh... shit... was I singing? I... hm. I do that sometimes. When I'm distracted. And god, when Christine Mcvie is serenading me... I mean, Fleetwood Mac really gets me going, you know?"

Isabel sighed, putting another book back to on its shelf. Reading had long been her stress reliever and this week in particular had been rough for her. Between annoying co-workers, worse patients, and trifling family — thankfully not hers, but a distraction was well earned. "if there's one thing booktok will do, it's lie." she glanced at the person by her. "do you have any good recommendations and God please don't say it's dark romance."

Who: Closed! Where: Starlight Oaks Town Square

Normally, Hadlee worked on Friday nights but with the night off she thought it'd be a waste to spend it cooped up inside with a book (even if she wanted to - her books were calling to her). And hey, she figured if she walked around enough, they might run into someone they knew.

They wandered around the festival, popping into the various booths and grabbing more than a few free samples. They stopped to look at the circle of craft workshops. Each booth looked interesting and she didn't know where to start. She glanced over to the person beside her. "What's drawing your eye?"
