reid-brooklyn:

“I’m really only here to get drunk.” Brooklyn told the person next to her, speaking loudly over the music. She never really cared too much for the town events Hollow Grove hosted. Something bad always happened with them. “So are these the only people playing? They’re kind of lame.”

“Isn’t that the only reason anyone’s here?” Theo questioned her just as loudly, taking a sip from the bottle he held.  “How am I supposed to know?  I didn’t exactly stop to look up the schedule,” he shrugged, his brows knitting together. “I hope not though, cos you’re right.”

will-collins:

“No, they have to be molded together… like one.” he replied, clasping his hands together as if to elaborate what he meant by together. ‘That’s the whole basis of it’s appeal, together so you have a hand spare for other things.”

Theo watched with raised brows as the other explained what seemed to be a very set idea.  “Okay, well in that case you’re shit out of luck.  I’d suggest pouring beer over the cotton candy, but that’d just make it disappear.”

lukasblackwells:

“Your words are cutting. I’m absolutely gutted.” His flat tone left no question that Lukas hadn’t been phased in the slightest by the insult that had been thrown at him. There were certain people in the world that deserved to have an ego. In his own opinion, Lukas was one of those people. “My improvements to the day would include increasing the amount of alcohol consumption, not decreasing it.”

“I can tell,” Theo answered, just as deadpan.  He was a pretty cocky guy himself, but even he didn’t think he needed to be celebrated or worshiped.  “Just makes you sound like a pompous jackass...or proves that, either way.”  Lifting up the bottle of beer Theo nodded in his direction.  “Oh don’t worry, there will only ever be an increase.”

When Olivia realized who it was, she huffed, shoving him backwards as she looked down at her soaked shirt. Figures it would be her that this kind of thing happened to, although she was still trying to debate if the guy did it on purpose just to be a dick.

“Maybe so, but I’m still trying to decide if it’s worth it or not,” she muttered in response, before she grabbed his drink and finished it off for him. “Least you can do for ruining my shirt.”

Theo was inebriated enough that her shove sent him staggering backward and almost onto the ground.  It took a lot these days to get him to this stage and quite frankly he had lost track of what and how much he had had to drink hours ago.

“Not worth it, you would make some old vampires very mad,” he hiccoughed, left staring at his empty hand as she extracted the bottle from him.  “Now look at that; you’ve bought me croissant and you’ve drank my drink.  We’re practically best friends.”  He was poking a sleeping dragon, but he couldn’t quite resist.

oliviaclxrke:

Founder’s Day. It almost sounded like something that the originals created just to have people lay flowers and gifts at their feet. But Olivia was there anyway, feeling out of place in her tank top and shorts, but it was hot and she was comfortable. With her hands shoved in the pockets, she made her way around the festival, eyeing each game curiously. After she played a few games, rode a few rides, night fell and the drinks flowed as a band played loud enough to rattle the windows of every nearby building. With a beer in hand, she stood near the edge of the stage, dancing along to the music before someone ran smack into her, spilling her beer on herself and the person next to her. 

“Jesus Christ, what the hell?” she snapped, trying to brush the beer off her clothes as best she could.

It was no secret that Theodore had been drinking for a long time, after all he had started with the kegs and eggs event.  Which meant by now he was definitely more than tipsy, even if his metabolic rate was increased these days.  Attempting to side step a forgotten corn dog on the ground he lost his sense of equilibrium, staggering to the side and running smack bang into a figure instead.  It took him several moments to be able to focus on who it was, a grin spreading across his face when he did.

“Well, if it isn’t my croissant gifter.  Might I remind you that attempted murder is still illegal in Hollow Grove?” he slurred, knowing that she was not going to be happy about this.

[theotheward]

will-collins:

“Okay, I don’t know what I want more. Cotton Candy, or Beer…. why has no one invented beer flavoured cotton candy, that’s gotta be a thing right?” he asked the nearest person, and he smiled a little at the thought, “Maybe I need to get on that.”

Theodore paused what he was doing and closed the gap between them, reaching to lift up both of Will’s arms, seemingly inspecting them closely.  “It’s as I thought, you have two functioning hands,” he reported, letting them drop back down.  “Which means you can have both at the same time.  One in each of them.” 

[theotheward]

lukasblackwells:

“This event is called Founders Day, isn’t it? Meaning its purpose is to celebrate the founders of the town. Which would be the originals. As an original doesn’t that, in turn, imply that the town should spend the entire event celebrating me? A thought to improve on the event.”

“It’s moments like these I wonder how the town is still running when it’s under the care of self-entitled douchecanoes,” Theo mused back, raising his bottle of beer to his lips.  “Definitely not going to be an improvement on my day.  I am, however, going to celebrate the copious amounts of alcohol supplied.”

oliviaclxrke:

“Not to those that were minding their own business,” Olivia pointed out, though he wasn’t entirely wrong. He had some sort of shit eating grin on his face, like he was enjoying watching her frustration. “Every great rulers ruled through fear. Find me one ruler in history that ruled through love and not fear, and I’ll buy you a croissant to shove in that cheshire grin of yours.”

“Uh huh, they all looked, they just like to pretend they didn’t,” he said, taking a mouthful of the drink he was currently holding.  “Easy.  Queen Elizabeth II, in power right now.  We love her, she’s the British nation’s grandmother.  I don’t think I could name a single person who’s fearful of her.  Can I wrangle a chocolate croissant out of you?”

grace-freemont:

Grace watched with a raised eyebrow as he took another drink from the glass that had been put in front of her. “Take it, it looks like it’s more your speed than mine.” She said slowly, eyes leaving him as she made eye contact with the bartender, silently beckoning him over to her. “I can order my own drinks, thanks.” 

“If you’re sure,” he shrugged, pulling it towards him properly.  It only lasted a few more moments as he tipped his head back and downed it all in one go.  Clearing his throat as he placed the glass back down, he shook his head.  “Sweet.  And clearly, from the fact that you just had one.  But if they get it wrong again I sure hope you give them hell, Miss. Independent.”

“The store I presume. Kings are what they call them now.” She snarked, eyes fluttering in a half roll before glancing back at him. “That I did, but they had also been with us through a scandal of their own and nobody would take them in if anyone else had found out, so while they were paid well we also earned their trust and therefore devotion.” Taking the cup from his hands, Catherine nodded her thanks before bringing it up to her lips and blowing gently on it.

“Well why didn’t you just say that?  Besides, I think a King bed would be perfect for one person.  Especially me, I could stretch out my limbs for once,” he pointed out, taking a sip of the tea.  “Clever, hiring servants like that.  I spose you had plenty of time to learn tricks like that.  So what other books have you written?” he asked the question, genuinely interested now.  If she happened to pull out a well known title he would definitely call for bragging rights.

ameliawalshh:

“I kinda was, yeah,” she nodded, scrunching up her nose as she said so before bursting into laughter. “Don’t make me do it. You’re old enough to clean after yourself, yea?” she scolded him further and kicked his feet off of the coffee table. “A job? What job? You didn’t tell me about the job,” she said, folding her legs under herself, getting comfortable on the sofa. “You know it takes you a few seconds to text ‘Hey Lia, I’ve got a job’, not an entire month as if your sending a godforsaken letter!” she reproached. But the older vampire’s words got muted as she heard him. “Wait- what? You mean you want to move in with me?” she deadpanned, her legs now out again as she leaned in to hear clearly like she couldn’t without doing so.

“I never said you had to do it Lia, I just said I’d do it eventually.  Or would you rather interrupt our reunion by having me clean this second?” he quizzed, scowling as the kick sent his feet hurtling to the ground.  “I like to keep some things a surprise you know; I’m on reception down at the local tattoo parlour, got this baby done there,” he said, holding his arm up for her to see the elaborate feathering down it.  “Maybe, maybe not.  I dunno.  I just figure I could save a heck of a lot more if I bunkered down with you.”

oliviaclxrke:

Olivia usually managed to block everything out when she was working on a story, but when it was something she didn’t care about, it was considerably harder to focus. Every journalist had to pay their dues though, and if she had to write about flesh eating bacteria to earn her stripes, then she’d write the hell out of that article. It didn’t make it easier though. After another attempt at a paragraph, Olivia huffed and slammed her laptop shut, running a hand through her dark locks as she wrapped a hand around her coffee mug. She noticed someone staring in the corner of her eye, and without hesitation she glanced up at them with full intent. “Can I help you? Because unless I have something on my face, or you recognize me from a past life as an Egyptian queen or something, you’re being rude.”

Theo had always gotten great enjoyment out of irritating people, it was something ingrained in him since he was young.  Which was why he was delighted by the girl’s reaction when she noticed him staring.  Not that he could be blamed, after all she had just slammed her laptop lid down with excessive force.  With her words a grin spread across his face and he lent his chin in his hand.  “I’m guessing you ruled Egypt through fear rather than love,” he commented, raising a brow.  “I mean, you did just slam your laptop, don’t you think that might draw a little attention?”

hollychevalier:

It wasn’t often that she felt threatened. Holly was so amicable and gregarious that she didn’t find herself in these situations all too often. Not anymore at least, there was a time when she was still human and walking home that she felt like she had to walk a little bit faster or pretend she’d been on the phone with someone until she made it to her apartment. This was different but it still completely changed her demeanor. “I’d rather bathe in acid.” She straightened her back, crossing her arms over her chest. “And if seductive’s what you’re going for then you might want to read over the definition because right now you’re giving me children of the corn vibes instead.”

Her entire aura shifted with his hackles rising and he watched as she grew defensive.  But she had hit one of his only sore points.  He knew he should get over it seeing as he had always, and would always look young; but he couldn’t help be touchy about it.  “Awe geez Hols I’m really not that bad.  Acid would be far more painful,” he said, sticking his bottom lip out in a pout.  “And no need to kid yourself, everyone needs a bit of Theo in their lives.” He tilted his head as he eased off her.  “Hey, you stopped being so overdramatic.”

[theotheward]

grace-freemont:

“Okay, man boy. Do you make it a habit out of drinking from other people’s glasses?” She asked with raised brows, pushing the glass away from her now. “Learn some manners.” 

“Man boy?  For that I’m going to have some more.” Another mouthful and he shot her a smile.  “Depends, I mean you did ask what it was - I was just telling you.  Want me to order you an actual margarita?” 

[theotheward]

ameliawalshh:

“Well, I thought it’d be different this decade,” she chuckled, sitting on the couch that Theo led her to. “You need to clean your house, Theodore,” she pointed between their dialogue. She quirked a brow at  his response. “You liked it? I must definitely buy a house then,” she retorted. “More than one room? For what? Do you plan to have sleepover at my place?” she asked jokingly though admittedly a part of her wouldn’t mind having him over. Even permanently if she’d knew he’d agree.

“And you were sorely disappointed?” he quizzed, flopping onto the sofa himself and kicking his legs up on the coffee table.  “Yeah yeah, I’ll get to it... one day.  I’ve just been busy.  I have a job you know, a legit one.” In fact his job at the tattoo parlour was definitely his first proper one, only ever having stolen or run errands previously.  “And duh, I you know, move in.  I mean can you imagine how much money I’d have if I didn’t have to pay rent?”

“You know, that’s pretty much a compliment.” Johnathan merely shrugged before his brows rose. “And the fake one worked out for you, huh?” His eyes proceeded to get a final glance at the paper before the young vampire stowed it away for the time being. “Yeah and I thought mine was generic, that’s worse. Exactly why I don’t trust it though.” He folded his arms. But good, that name’s from a movie isn’t it?”

“Is it though?  And yes it did, I’m glad here I don’t exactly have to use it,” he said with a frown.  Maybe when he was 150 it would be more of a compliment to him.  “Yours ain’t that bad.” Theo raised a brow at the other - oh boy, Johnathan was one of those.  “Ah, yeah.  Lord of the Rings?  Gandalf says to Frodo, ‘keep it secret, keep it safe’.”
