events like this were always best when attended alone. or at least, without any kind of a date tying him down. of that flynn felt fairly confident on. why be stuck spending the majority of his time hanging out with just one person when there were so many others around? other hot and single people practically asking to be flirted with, at that. it was a st lover’s festival after all, it only felt right to get full in the spirit of things and show everyone a bit of love and appreciation. which was why flynn didn’t even hesitation to approach the girl that practically screamed of money and being superior to him in practically every way possible. normally he’d work his way up to this - put in the time to charm her over a few encounters - but he needed to do good olde st. lover proud. “well hello to you, beautiful,” he greets as he moves to stand besides the stranger, a smile in place on his face that he hoped showed just the right amount of interest. enough to be flattering, but not too much to come across as lewd or creepy. “any chance you’re in need of a drink? or maybe a pretty face to blow on some dice for luck?”

when tiana had, once again, told lottie that she would be working another town event the blonde had done notihng but sigh. she wasn’t mad at her best friend for being so hardworking, not by any means, but everyone needs a break once in awhile and it felt sometimes like if it weren’t for lottie, tiana would quite literally run herself into the ground. so while the blonde hadn’t put up a fight about it at the time, she had indeed made mental plans on how to go about dragging her best friend away from her booth once the festival rolled around. so here she was, tugging on tiana’s arm without any real force and giving her best pout. “tiaaa, come on. you know the girls can handle this - you gotta come see at least a lil bit of the festival,” she argued, glancing pointedly at the workers that were standing a smart distance away and keeping themselves uninvolved in lottie’s attempt at removing their boss from the booth. “one lap around - that’s all i’m askin’ for.” it would be the slowest lap around the fair grounds and the two girls would stop at everything lottie found even slightly interesting - but that didn’t need to be explained.

once upon a time not having a date to an event like the st. lover’s festival would have had lottie staying at home, refusing to even show up for five minutes without someone on her arm, but over the years the blonde has done a lot of growing up. and with that she’s gained the knowledge that as much as she loves romance and everything that comes with having a date to things like this - there was actually a bit of a benefit to being solo. like for instance, she could go adn do whatever she wanted around the festival without having to check to make sure her date was on board. no pouting was needed to convince someone to go along with whatever whims her heart came up with. and of course there was the major plus of being able to flirt with just about anyone she pleased. not being stuck to spending time with just one person? now that was definitely a bonus worth considering. though, there were still the downfalls. and as she looked at the big teddy bears hanging above the games booths, the cons of being single started flooding back in. thankfully though, before lottie could get too deep in a self-pity pool, a familiar face caught her attention and the blonde practically skipped over towards him. “well if it ain’t a knight in shinin’ armor right here,” she starts as she loops her arm through jaqs and gives it a small tug to get his full attention focused on her. the smile on lottie’s face was bright and her eyes practically lit up her whole face as she looked between the boy and the prizes hung up on the wall. “think you’re up to the challenge of winnin’ me that teddy bear over there? the big one, of course, with the pink bow. don’t it look like it’s practically just beggin’ to be mine?” she was hoping that would be enough to convince him to play the silly little games for her - but lottie was prepared to pull out the big guns of her well tuned pout and puppy dog eyes if needed.

for all lottie has done a lot of growing up over the years, the one thing that has never changed is her heart. and the weakness she has for a handsome man. she’s tried to work on it, to get stronger at being able to hold herself back, but it has all been of no use. the moment her eyes land on a new beautiful potential bachelor, her heart starts racing and she’s hooked. which was how she felt right now, watching the stranger a bit away and all but swooning over him even from afar. it didn’t take long for her to decide she was going to approach him - the decision was made practically the moment she realized he was currently alone - and as she got closer she couldn’t help the hopeful thought of maybe this could be fate right now. “well hello, sugar,” she greets, eyes dropping quickly to his hand and making note of the lack of wedding band. “i know this might seem a bit strange, but i’ve been tryin’ to work up the nerve to go on one of these rides but i don’t have anyone to go on ‘em with. and you know it’s always easier to do somethin’ like that with a partner. any chance you mind comin’ along with me?” it wasn’t actually true, lottie didn’t really have much desire to go on the rides, but it seemed like the perfect excuse to steal a bit of time with the stranger.

the mental list lottie had made of things to do at the festival was as long as it usually was for these types of events and it only seemed to be growing as she made her way around the fair grounds. of course almost everything on her list required having someone with her, so as she walked she kept her eyes peeled for any familiar faces - or unfamiliar ones that were cute enough to be worthy of striking up a conversation with. finally spotting one of her favorite people, lottie’s quick to make her way over towards him and snake an arm around his own. “there you are,” she greets, as if she had been looking for him in particular - which might not be the case, but she had been hoping to run into oliver specifically at some point during the festival. “i wanna take pictures with you! they got a whole lil booth for it and everythin’!”

there was no way of hiding the fact that this whole festival wasn’t really zarina’s scene. so many of the other girls were dressed in cute little frilly dresses, meanwhile she was wearing an old t-shirt and some overall shorts with little to no care for how she looked. she was alone and didn’t have any desire to really find a date or get involved in the more romantic aspects of the event. really... there was little to no point of her being here, but not coming at all felt like she was letting the town win somehow. so here she was, a bit bitter and annoyed but in attendance nonetheless. thankfully it didn’t take long for her to see someone she actually didn’t hate and without any hesitancy she approached them, not giving one thought to the fact that it might be weird to talk to an ex at a lovers focused event like this. “hey,” she greets with a nod of her head. “you found the booths with alcohol yet?”

the day had been going by slower than zarina had even thought it would. coming to an event like this alone only made her feel like more of a loser than she was sure people already thought she was - but not coming at all felt like letting everyone else win. and no way in hell was zarina going to do that. so here she was, without a date or even a group of friends to spend time with. which had left her to spend the majority of her time so far at the festival drinking. the lucky charm drinks weren’t as strong as she had hopened they’d be, but there was no denying that they were starting to sneak up on her. which was the main reason zarina didn’t just walk away when she spotted a semi familiar face and instead approached the other girl without any hesitation. “well lookie here,” she starts off, a sneer growing as she eyes misty up and down. “little miss misty all on her lonesome. did your friends all decide it was time to drop you next?” logically zarina knew the chances of that being the case were ridiculously slim and if she were more sober she’d never show her bitterness towards tessa’s group of friends so openly - but here she was, drunk and annoyed and making bad decisions, to the surprise of no one.

sitting at one of the gambling tables, not even fully sure what game they were supposed to be playing or what the rules were, zarina was about to get ready to leave when a figure passed by. in her drunken state, determined to win at least a few more bucks before giving up, she reached out to stop the stranger. “hey - you know how to play this?” she asks, not stopping to get an answer yet before tugging on his arm to get him to move forward. “help me win me at least a hundred bucks tonight and i’ll split it with you.” it was a bigger gamble than playing the games alone herself, but zarina was too drunk enough to care or think it through rationally.
