✦ DANNY RAMIREZ, CIS MALE, HE/HIM✦ DIEGO MARINAS the THIRTY year old has been in Hidehill for HIS ENTIRE LIFE and was a ENEMY to Lucas Johnson, the missing persons. Whispers on the streets are that the MECHANIC who lives in HAGFIELD are said to be HARD WORKING and HOT-HEADED but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.

Sienna usually preferred an early morning shopping trip, but she'd pulled doubles at The Pet Doctor the past two days. So here she was at 6pm, still in her navy scrubs, a grocery basket hooked around her elbow as she meandered through the store. She'd been so busy between work, and going through her grandfather's affairs, she hadn't realized how empty the pantry and fridge had gotten. A box of cinnamon toast crunch, a box of spaghetti and a jar of pasta, some microwave meals, she was going for quick and easy. But the produce section caught her eye. The strawberries were the largest and most delightful shade of red, and the grapes...not a bad looking one in the bunch. She added both to her grocery basket, which was now getting heavier than she intended, and whirled around with the intention of making a beeline for the register before she added more weight to her basket.

"Oh!" She collided with another body, in such shock she couldn't tell whether her purchases hit the floor or theirs. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...I wasn't paying attention..."

Diego could NOT make a decision today even if a gun was put to his temple. He hated when his ADHD got him like this, all spaced out, unable to make a simple decision like what kinda chips he was feeling like. He wasn't paying attention to his surroundings and hadn't even noticed someone coming up next to him. At least, he didn't notice until he felt the sharp smack in his side causing him to let out an 'oof' sound, bending over in half probably a bit dramatically. "God fuck," he cursed, before finally looking up and seeing Sienna. Diego coughed a little as he immediately straightened up, cracking his neck a little. "I'm good, I'm good," he corrected, tugging a chord of his hoodie. "You, er, you good?" Diego asked, trying not to let his eyes drift down her body. "I-- you need help carryin' that stuff around?"

Location: like a broken record Status: open starter @hidehillstart

Dino was casually browsing the vinyl collection of the store, looking over each one carefully. It had been his first time in the store, but they already knew they would become a regular. If anything Dino had a need for collecting stuff, a sense of pride in all of his collections from their comic books, to their music and dvd selections. They had only moved here two months ago, just scoring their apprenticeship at the local tattoo shop and thus treating himself to a new vinyl.

They looked around at the other patron's for a second, before noticing the person next to him. Contemplating for a second before deciding to attempt to strike up a conversation. "Come here often?" he asked with a grin on his face. "And no that's not a pick up line- genuinely curious." they added with a wink.

[thediegomarinas]

Diego was a big lover of music, specifically rock music. He was rarely seen (or rather heard) driving around in his Mustang without some ACDC or Guns n Roses or Nirvana blasting out of the speakers. And, like all real music buffs, he knew that shit sounded way more fire when they were on 9" pressed vinyls. So, yes, he was a regular here. "Yeah, man, shit is fire," he said before laughing when he said it wasn't a pickup line. "Nah, you're good. I don't swing that way, by the way, even if it was, y'know?" Diego smiled as he flicked through the records. "What you lookin' for?"

@thediegomarinas coffee stop

Seeing a familiar face at the front counter of the coffee stop, Kameyla took a beeline in front of the other people in line and lightly shoved the man with her elbow. Leaning forward to get a better look at the menu before turning her eyes on the employee behind the cash register. "Can I please get a caramel frappe?" She offered a sweet grin with the order, gesturing to her ex-boyfriend beside her as she continued on. "You can put it on his bill, he won't mind."

[thediegomarinas]

Diego had been avoiding this particular run-in since he got out. Even after all these years, Kami had this grip on him that he just couldn't shake and every time he spent more than five minutes with her his mind spun out on everything that could have, should have, been. But it didn't work. It wouldn't work. Right? Her voice went through him, god he had missed her when he was inside. He couldn't help the smirk that pulled his lips as he looked across to her. Fuck she was so hot. "Nice to see you again too. Thought these roles would be reversed considerin'," he joked as he ordered his own coffee - hot, black - and paid for them. "You're welcome," he said sarcastically, raising a brow as his eyes dropped up and down her - he couldn't help it. "You look like you been keepin' well while I was away, Kam..."

Gabe didn't have the time nor patience to be dealing with the bullshit today. With the news of Lucas being missing and now the text they had all received his patience was wearing thin and he was taking extra precautions to keep the people in here safe. "Dude, they said you were following them around the club what the fuck is that about?" He raised an eyebrow waiting on an answer, "why are you being a fuckin' creep bro? Are you saying you weren't doing that?"

[thediegomarinas]

Diego had to take a deep breath to calm himself down as these allegations attempted to taint his name. "Damn, fuckin' christ, I know I ain't exactly got a clean record but you really think I'm a fuckin' creep like that?" He shook his head. "They literally told me to follow them back there, and then when I got there and said that I didn't wanna do the shit they wanted to do they changed the fuck up on me and started sayin' I was stalkin' them, dude, I'm just tryin' to stay away from that shit, parole is on my fuckin' ass. C'mon, Gabe, it kinda hurts that you'd think of me like that bro, like what the fuck?"

@hidehillstart

"This one" Gabe gestured with his finger pointing at the person as he asked security to remove them. He took his business seriously and when it came to the people who worked under him their safety was always his main priority before anything. The clubs reputation was on the line with everything that happened here, it didn't matter how small it was he didn't care for it and always acted fast. "I don't want to see them in here again tonight."

[thediegomarinas]

Diego scoffed and spun around on the spot he was in, hands coming up to his hair and tugging it a little as he tried to understand what the fuck was going on right now. "Dude, what the actual fuck?!" He shouted back, shaking his head. "I wasn't even anywhere near that fuckin' culero!" He protested, rolling his eyes. "Seriously? You're gonna fuckin' kick me out for somethin' I didn't fuckin' do? What the actual fuck, Gabe?"

mel's drive-in diner @hidehillstart

"Ma'am, I don't know how many times I got to tell you... you can't complain about my waitresses smilin' at your husband. They're doin' their job by being welcomin'." Sasha was chewing gum, smiling from ear to ear as she spoke to the older woman at the booth. "Don't let your insecurities earn you a Mel's ass kickin', sugar." she said as politely as she could, tucking her pencil behind her ear and finally turning around to the table she was attempting to tend to before having to address yet another complaint from the same unruly lady.

"So sorry, hon. So what would you like to order? We got the Lucas special today... " her voice trailed off, the smile she sported once now fallen. "We're kinda just hopin' that... discountin' his favorite meal will make 'em come back, ya know?" one could pray at least. Maybe Lucas just wanted to be the center of attention and what better way than to highlight him at the heart of the town.. everyone's favorite diner?

[thediegomarinas]

Diego often hung out at Mel's, a man with an intense need to have enough caffeine to warrant a heart attack in his system at any one time. The place never seemed to have a dull day go by, always some asshole causing an issue or some drama to be overheard. Back before he was sent away, the parking lot always made a good drop off spot as well. It would be a few months before he would be able to safely get back to any of that shit though.

He couldn't help the smirk that tugged his lips as he listened to Sasha verbally dragging some Karen through the bushes. It was the perfect mix of that southern hospitality and fuck around and find out attitude, and he was into it. Diego made little attempt to hide the smirk when she came over to his table, eyebrow raising slightly as his eyes quickly traveled over her. "You're good, sugar," he teased, tongue pushing into the corner of his lips briefly. "Riiight, I mean, sure... I guess that might put some energy into the universe or somethin'," he shrugged a little. "But, er, I dunno, I'm kinda interested in this special Mel's ass kickin', y'know?" He smirked.
