“I most definitely do not,” Tessa replied, once again completely apathetic to the man’s struggle ( like, who carries tennis balls around on them ? ). With a sigh though, Tessa decided it was probably the nice thing to do to help out, so they stepped off the sidewalk to get a closer look. At the man’s next question though, the temp had to laugh, “Uh, do I look like a car jacker? If I do, I’m probably the wrong person to be talking to right now, bud,” They chuckled before offering actual help, “What I do have is a phone so you can call a locksmith. That’ll be a billion times cheaper than, I dunno, breaking your car’s window.”

danny gave the other a look, decidedly shaking his head. “no, no car-jacker to me. but if you were, you would know for sure how to get into it!” it may have been luckier to not be in the presence of a car-jacker, but he was also starting to be a little desperate, maybe. “cheaper, sure, but way more time consuming!” he sighed at his luck, shaking his head. “sure, thanks. my phone is... also inside the car.” danny couldn’t help but offer a pained smile to the stranger, “promise i’m not always this sad. or in need.” he held out his hand to take her phone. “i owe you one. big time!”

           WHEN THE GUY reassured him that it was alright, helia offered him a smile and a grateful smile. the last thing he had wanted was to offend someone – especially someone he had yet to get acquainted with. when he confirmed that the garage was an option, helia nodded with a smile. “ i would give it a try. i think it’s your best guess right now ! “, the man spoke, pulling his coat a little tigher around him. “ i’m sorry – an accident like that happens quickly, right ? hopefully they’ll be able tp help without it costing too much. “, helia hoped out loud. “ i’m helia – it’s good to meet you, danny. and that would be correct – i’m from around. born and raised. “.

danny had no ill will towards being in rome pines or the people in it. in fact, he was excited for the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends (hopefully living ones) and see what else this town had to offer. “nice to meet you! cool, so you know what’s around here to do for fun,” danny said, starting to accept the fact that he was going to have to walk to the garage. “you wanna come along for the walk, and tell me what there is to do for fun around here? because so far, i’ve been pretty bored, i gotta tell you! aside from checking out abandoned houses.”

wordlessly she nodded a bit at his question, before looking back at the car. she couldn’t leave this poor guy out here without helping him, especially when he seemed so stressed.”it’s okay, i believe you” she started before looking around at the street signs. “there’s a tailor shop a block over there’s bound to be something around here you can use” she said scratching the back of her neck. cass gave him a small smile before reaching her hand out to introduce herself, “i’m cass”

“oh, good to know!” danny was new to this area, not really sure what was around here and still learning his way around, but he appreciated the idea. “bet they will have something. thanks!” he took her hand with a smile, “officer cass,” he said back, “nice to meet you. i’m danny. i uh.. normally am not this inept, i swear.”

      SHEA WASN’T ONE for helpful asides— that type of thing fell well beyond the general jurisdiction of her servitude. still , it seemed a waste to snub her nose at this boy , when his plea appealed to one of the more practical skills in her repertoire. she shrugs herself with cool indifference from the alley wall , approaching the vehicle and its despondent driver with measured steps. “ you’re in luck, ” she announces, once in earshot.

     “ but i’m going to need something long and skinny. ”

“so ... you need me?” danny joked, scratching the back of his head at his own terrible, terrible joke, instantly regretting it as it left his mouth. “no no... for sure. something long... and skinny.” he took a few steps away and leaned down, scanning the ground or anything the girl could use. ‘this place is a dump’ danny thought to himself, the ground littered with trash and things that were broken, spying a piece of a metal rod. “this this’ll do the trick?” he asked, “not very long, but should be strong enough not to crack.”

             WHEN THE GUY explained it was his own car, helia’s jaw dropped as it all started to make sense in his mind – smile grew on his lips as he simply nodded. “ oh, of course. i’m sorry – i didn’t mean to make these… wild assumptions. “, helia excused himself, a chuckle tumbling from his lips. looking through the car window, only to find the keys in the ignition, an ‘ a-ha ‘ escaped his throat. “ i once saw someone unlock their cardoor with a coat hanger but i suppose you aren’t really carrying that with you – do you ? “, the guy asked, nose scrunching up a bit as he smiled at the other. “ perhaps you can call the garage ? i’m sure they have mechanics who can fix this. “, helia reasoned.

“that’s okay man!” danny assured the other with a smile, patting his shoulder. “i would’ve said the same thing.” he shook his head at the suggestion, definitely no coat hanger anywhere in sight. “true.... the garage is an option!” danny pointed to his head, “that’s using your brain. i think i used up all my brain power this past semester.” he gave the car a look with a sigh. “guess there goes all my money i was saving up for some better tools.” he gave the boy a half-smile, “thanks for the suggestion. i’m danny, by the way. never seen you around. not from pastoral city, are you?”

ariel’s  teeth  chatter  ,  fingers  furling  into  the  thin  lining  of  her  jacket  pocket  .  she  knows  she  should’ve  listened  and  worn  something  thicker  - -  warmer  - -  but  did  she  listen  ??  ‘course  not  .  she  was  stubborn  that  way  .  naturally  ,  she  also  picks  today  to  forget  her  parking  permit  at  home  ,  so  by  the  time  she  reaches  the  parking  lot  her  cheeks  are  already  a  little  frostbitten  and  flushed  .  giddy  thoughts  of  how  great  it’ll  be  to  finally  crank  on  her  heated  steering  wheel  and  seats  are  put  on  hold  ,  however  ,  when  the  male’s  question  greets  her  .  “  er  -  should  i  assume  this  is  your  car  ?  i’m  not  really  one  to  judge  but  if  it  isn’t  yours  ,   maybe  it  wasn’t  the  smartest  idea  to  tell  me  you  want  to  break  into  it  ,  ”  she  points  out  ,  a  mix  of  confusion  and  amusement  .  “  so  …  which  is  it  ?  ”  she  prompts  ,  eyebrow  quirking  in  curiosity  .  

“right.. probably should have led with that, huh?” he asked the girl with a laugh, hitting his forehead with his palm. “duh. but yes, this is my car,” he patted the hood affectionately, even if right now he was a little bit frustrated with himself, and in turn the car. not to mention the weather, and his powers for not working when he needed them. all in all he wasn’t off to a good start, but he was a positive guy, offering her a friendly smile. “head was everywhere else and i accidentally closed my door too quick... okay well my jacket got caught and i pulled it too hard and the door shut, and my keys fell out of my pocket and onto the ground there,” he pointed inside the window. “and here we are!” he smiled, shrugging his shoulders. “midterms drove me crazy i guess.”

                                                           HER SHIFT TOOK longer than usual to end and she rubs her arms to keep herself warm. Melody walks with great determination, the weather report predicted a snow storm and she’s afraid she might get caught by it before arriving at home. She almost doesn’t listen to boy’s question and even when she hears, she has to blink twice to believe it. And a grin forms on her lips. As a teenager, Melody’s friends weren’t the best examples, so she learned all sorts of stuff. Breaking into a car? Piece of cake. “ I-I may know how.” She steps closer to the door, snow storm and cold long forgotten with the excitement, but she pauses and looks at him with a raised eyebrow, analyzing the trouble this situation could put her into. “ Wait. How do I know I’m not helping you rob some poor guy’s car? ”

he couldn’t stop from smiling when she said she would help, relief washing over him. “thank you! what’s your name?” he asked, holding out a hand to introduce himself, not recognizing her from anywhere. she looked young, which was interesting that she knew how to break into a car, but danny didn’t judge. everyone had their own skill sets, and right now he needed hers. “um...” he paused to think, slapping a hand across his eyes and turning away. “look inside the window. backseat has a basketball, ghost radar equipment. on the front panel, two buttons are missing. i broke one off second day i got this car, and my friend broke the other. long story.” he uncovered his eyes, holding his hands up in a ‘you have to believe me’ way. “promise it’s mine. can you help?”

walking to the grocery store seemed like a much better idea, that was until the weather warning hit her phone halfway there and she realized she wasn’t nearly as bundled up as she should be. everyone around her seemed to have the same idea, rushing to go home so they didn’t get hit by the giant incoming snow storm, it wasn’t too horrible when half the streets were empty because of it. as she walked by a few cars she stopped when the man talked to her, raising an eyebrow at him she looked at the locked car back up to his face. this situation raised more questions than solutions, “legally i should ask if this is even your car?” she asked as she shoved her hands deep into her pockets, “have you looked around for a coat hanger or something? you can just shove it down under the window and it’ll pop the lock open” 

“legally.... are you a police officer?” he asked innocently, looking from the stranger to the car and back again. “this is my car, i swear! i...can’t prove that right now because my license and all my other info is also locked in there,” he added with a sigh at his luck, frowning and trying his best to give the girl a pleading look. he really was desperate. “i don’t usually do this kind of stuff! just a little overwhelmed with midterms, and trying to get to my parent’s house.” it sounded like a bunch of excuses and it was, but danny hoped it was enough for some assistance. “coat hanger... didn’t even think of that!” he looked around, on the ground, the dark alley across the street catching his eye. “i guess i could try that... couldn’t hurt.”

         HELIA HAD HIS hands safely hidden in his pockets, shielding them from the cold outside. the guy definitely was more of warmer type of weather guy than a winter guy. but he knew how to appreciate the winter just as well… after a snow storm, nature did look absolutely magnificent – he loved to sketch winter sceneries just as much as he did summer ones. 

            he was on his way to the convenience store when he spotted a guy, clearly struggling with his car – without a second doubt, he walked over towards him. he was about to ask the guy what was wrong, when he was already addressed. eyebrows arching up at the question, helia couldn’t help but laugh. “ break into a car ? i’m afraid not… i’m not sure breaking into a car is a good idea, though. “, he tried to advice the other.

danny was confused, laughing only when he realized how it may have sounded to the other guy. right, maybe some context would have been nice! “you’re so right, and i’m not the type to break into anyone’s car... except my own. this is mine.... and those are my keys in there.” he cast the car a dirty look as if it was the car’s fault and not his own, before looking back at helia. “i swear. i’m just trying to get home before the weather decides to rear it’s ugly head again.” where he was safe, and warm, and not stuck. he sighed as reality washed over him, “i guess i could leave it... for now. and walk..”

Tessa was bundled up heavier than ever as the snow shot down onto the streets. By the grace of some god, they’d been able to get out of work early, but didn’t have a car to get home in either, so they were forced to drudge home in the snow. They might not have even felt bad about the way they kicked snow angrily as they walked, until a young man flagged them down off the sidewalk, “Oh, shit, that sucks,” Tessa shrugged, barely caring at all about the boy’s predicament, “I’ve heard if you cut a little hole in a tennis ball and squeeze it over the lock, the air pressure if enough to unlock it,” They answered with another shrug, completely unsure if this actually works.

“tennis ball?” he sighed, “i’ll have better luck trying to find an extra set of keys than a tennis ball.” he looked in at the keys again, hands spread on the window, as if that would somehow magically make them appear in his hand, casting a desperate glance at the stranger. “wouldn’t happen to have one on you, would you?” it was worth a shot. “or one of those.... metal hook things that slide into the window?” they looked less than enthused by this situation, so somehow danny doubted it, but he was ever the optimist, and had to double-check.

A slow grin curved onto his face, perhaps a little too toothy and sharp. “As a matter of fact, I do. It is your lucky day.” He’d slowed to a stop when he’d heard the other start speaking, and now he was glad he did. Because lets be honest, he loved doing stuff like this. “You’re lucky I have people I can’t trust with anything important in my life.” He knelt down, and began unlacing his boot, pulling the shoelace free. “You sure you don’t want me to totally wreck it? I could put it back together.” He began tying a loop in the middle of the lace, glancing over at the other.

danny silently cursed his powers for not working, otherwise he could have easily retrieved his keys without going through this hassle, but well, they had a mind of their own and he may have been a bit frazzled, having to stoop to this desperate level of begging to strangers! a huge bummer. “lucky all around, huh?” danny asked with a laugh, leaning over the guy as he knelt down, watching with curiosity as he untied his shoe. “uh.... what...” danny shook his head at the question, voice cracking, “no! please no, no wrecking! this is my baby.. i need her,” he patted the car affectionately, “and aside from my lucky day as you said, my luck is usually.... slim.”

sure, danny got a little absent-minded from time to time, and he wouldn’t even call it absent-minded. more like his mind was in a million places all at once trying to weigh which thing needed his attention the most at that particular second, get it done as efficiently as possible so he could move onto the next thing, and over and over again! so locking his keys in his car right before a snow storm was maybe putting a slight wrench in his day, groaning as he leaned his forehead against the cold window, the keys glittering at him from the floormat, mocking him. damn it.

“you don’t know how to like... break into a car without totally wrecking it by any chance, do you?”

[flotsamthegreat-deactivated2021]

Flotsam lit up the cig, and stared at the sky before chuckling a bit as people walked by staring at him with his shirt off. Yes it was a little chilly out but he didn’t care in the least, he would back inside soon. Someone would take him up on the offer of a half price,  tattoo or piercing for New Years Day. He pulled out his phone before noticing someone was staring at him, raising a eyebrow he looked over. “ You know if you took a picture it would last, longer. Did you want something or?” @fantasiafallsstarters​

[thatsp00kyboy]

it wasn’t like danny wasn’t used to seeing shirtless dudes at parties, but he’d never seen so many tattoos in his life on one person, that yes he admittedly was totally staring. embarrassingly so, he tried to turn and look next to him, blame it on someone else, but there was no one else, he was clearly looking right at him. straight up c a u g h t. “oh.. no! sorry! just... got a lot of body art going on, my guy,” he said with a nervous laugh, running his hand through his hair and then pointing to the strangers’ chest. “super cool. is all. ha” he cleared his throat, shaking his head. “having a good time?”

peter was definitely enjoying his night; more than he imagined he would have been.  but between all the dancing and drinks and overall enjoyment, he found himself needing a bit of air, enjoying the crisp air and quietness ( compared to the other side of the door ) as he stood outside, enjoying a smoke.  when he heard the door, peter looked up, nodding at the person that walked out.  “want a hit?,” he offered the splint in his hand to his new company.  ( @fantasiafallsstarters​​ )

[thatsp00kyboy]

danny looked up at the guy as he practically ran through the door to the outside, putting a hand up in an apology for the dramatic entrance, but he was desperate for a break after being on the dance floor. “it feels so good out here!” he exclaimed, watching his breath curl against the dark night air. technically he wasn’t even supposed to be at this party with one more test to take for the semester, but the quick thirty minute stop by had turned into way longer. “uh.. yeah, sure!” danny said, accepting it because if he didn’t he would have felt guilty, taking a tiny puff before handing it back with a small cough. “nice outfit! i dig it,” he gestured with a half-smile. “not cold out here like that?”
