“ you know, i’ve been hearing a rumor about this place. apparently the previous mayor suppressed a report proving that he was taking bribes from several unsavory characters.” hathor grinned at the young woman standing next to her. “a few days before he was supposed to leave office, several thousand dollars were withdrawn from his bank account and he was involved in a car accident several miles out of town. those several thousand dollars never turned up, i’ve read multiple articles about his wife claiming she’d never seen hide nor hair of the money.”

“ so i got this job, as a writer for the local paper. gonna be bringing the truth to these fine citizens of asteria, whether they like it or not.” hathor pulled out a cigarette, leaning back on the picnic table. “now, i just need t’ find myself a place to stay that’s not my van.”

“ so. your baby is having her own baby. ” hathor leaned forwards over their shared table, a look of relative glee on her face. children weren’t really her thing, but she had to admit that babies were cute. “ should i start calling you grandpa? ”

“Didn’t think so, though I should ask” last thing he needed was to be told he had insulted someone over a real illness. “Fun as that sounds, this is still my work email, and I’d like to keep my job, insulting the pupils doesn’t make us very popular” he knew he had security, worse came to the worse there was some calls he could make regarding it, but easier to play it by the book. “Though any inspiration helps”.

“ i wasn’t gonna say anything that wasn’t true. ” perhaps she sounded like a petulant child, but her mama’s many lectures on the importance of getting at least a high school diploma ran through her mind. “ just that if they don’t want to spend their life as a stationary piece of shit who won’t ever do anything productive in their life until they die of a heroin overdose under whatever the nearest bridge is, then they need to go to class. ”

Hathor was the only thing in life that made Nash believe in soulmates, she was his mentor but not the normal sort of life guide. She barely even seemed real and he liked that best about her. Even her embrace felt like a distant memory already and she was still holding on to him. “Wow. That’s some shit luck for us two.” He grinned and raised his eyebrows. “I know that look. Whatever you’re up to, count me in.”

“ i got nothing concrete right now. ” hathor shrugged. “ just feelings and suspicions, i mean- even the fucking smoothie places here buy local produce. how perfect can a town be? every single god damn town and city in this gods damned country has a secret, and i highly doubt both of us would experience car trouble in the same period of time in the same town. ”

“Oh I don’t drink” she couldn’t, not when her entire life had gone wrong because of accepting a drink from a so called friend. She had been so young, she wasn’t about to repeat history, even if it was unlikely. “Honestly? Probably not, but that’s my problem. I’ll be ok”.

“ well i’d say that’s a shame, but it your choice, and i’m not one to push a woman when she says no. ” in fact, hathor had several scars on her knuckles from bar brawls where she’d decked a man for not taking a damn hint. “ now, i don’t mean to be pushy, but something tells me this problem might be the kinda problem where you just need to talk it out with someone impartial. sometimes, when you get all caught up in your head, you might miss a glaringly obvious solution. ”

Johnnie waited for her to get settled before he started up his car again. “A drifter? From where?” he asked. His foot went right to the pedal, and fairly soon, they were cruising at a smooth 30 miles per hour. “Don’t know how much farther your old van can take you. Where do you plan to go after this?”

“ originally? west virginia, so not too far away. ” hathor pulled at the hair scarf containing her hair. “ but i’ve been all over this fine country, and i haven’t been back to point pleasant in... well a few years now. i’m thinking this might be close enough to settle down for a while, i know it would make my mama’s day to hear i’d settled down. ”

WHO: Noah + @thetruthissixfeetunder​ WHERE: Main Squeeze — Smoothie & Juice Bar

Noah was never the smoothie type of guy but whenever he felt like he was about to her a cold he always went to Main Squeeze and got himself green juice or anything with ginger and lemon that they had on the menu. It was the case now because his daughter Autumn had had a cold the previous week and he was starting to feel the sinuses headache. That was always the first sign but if he got ahead quick enough he could shake it off quickly. Noah couldn’t afford to not train the horses. Cass would surely be fine with it if he was sick. It was more of a personal thing. Noah didn’t like to depend on other people and if he got a cold like last time it would end up him having to demand some of his family’s attention like the few times he had those after his wife passed. Lily in all her loving grace always knew the pick me up medications and treats for when anyone was sick, she spoiled him rotten and unfortunately hadn’t left her secrets behind. His mother-in-law tried to give him some tips, but pointlessly nothing worked. Maybe it all had always just been Lily herself.

He was turning out to head to a table with his juice, whilst texting his daughter about what time to pick her up from her after school classes when he bumped on the woman coming his way. Luckily the juice didn’t spill on him or her directly, that he saw in the moment, just some minor splatters as it landed splashing all over the floor. “Oh shit—I’m so very sorry, I didn’t see you. I was texting and walking. Totally my bad. Did it get you somewhere?”

smoothies were a big part of hathor’s diet, containing nutrients that canned beans, chili, and rice couldn’t provide, and so she’d spent nearly a week investigating the main squeeze. if she was going to be sticking around this town for a while, then hathor knew that she needed to know where the places she frequented got their ingredients. luckily for them, the main squeeze received all their produce from the local farms, something hathor approved of.

as it was, she’d found herself heading into the main squeeze to see if she could get a green apple smoothie- and then she’d found herself deftly dodging a man too involved with his phone to realize that he wasn’t the only one in the world. god damn mind consuming technology.

“ no worries, honey. ” hathor wiped off the small amount of juice that had splashed onto her leather jacket. “ nothing i can’t clean off. ”

“No fucking way!” Nash accentuated the length in how he said ‘way’ when he saw no one other than the woman, the legend, and the myth of Hathor fucking Freeman. He smiled as he approached her because he knew that this other chance encounter was mostly due to his friends working at Fate Inc. He laughed at the memory that she brought back, they’d had some wild times. “Car broke down here about two weeks ago. How long are you staying and can I hitch a ride when you go?”

she embraced him with an enthusiasm saved for the few close friends she actually had. “ strange ‘nough, franky also decided this was his place to die. ” holding his shoulders, arms straight, hathor frowned. “ now- that sounds like a bit too much of a coincidence. i’m gonna have to take a look around and see if there’s somethin’ drawing us, folk, here. ” she was silent for a moment, a look of serious contemplation on her face.

Reagan sighed, glancing down at his phone as a email came in. He had long since linked his school one up, purely so if there was some emergency with his students, he could get to it instantly. Which had actually turned out to be exhausting really because he was constantly plagued with emails from them. Which is why when he heard his phone bleep, he looked over, seeing someone nearby. “Strange question for you, but do you believe sick-aritus is a real illness, or just a kid trying to avoid an assignment?” @thetruthissixfeetunder​

[thetruthissixfeetunder]

“ now, i’ve seen a lotta weird stuff, but... sick-aritus is definitely not a real thing. ” hathor shook her head. her mama would have whooped her ass if she’d ever tried to pull something as dumb as that. “ here, gimme that phone- i’ll tell ‘em to get off their ass and get their education. ” she held out her hand, already mentally drafting how to emphasize the importance of getting an education.

Thea was trying very hard to keep everything to herself, she didn’t want for people to pity her more, she was honestly tired of it. Besides, it wasn’t like she was a victim in this, it was just a terrible situation, and one that there was no winners or losers in. Even worse, trying to cope with a broken heart, and she couldn’t even be mad at him for it. But she had to try and keep living and smiling, however hard it was. Realising that someone was talking to her, she quickly pulled herself back to reality, “sorry what? Think I lost focus there”. @thetruthissixfeetunder​

“ I was just gonna ask if i could borrow your phone- but i think you, sweet thing, need a drink. ” hathor brought her hand down from in front of the woman’s face.  it was almost worrying, how blank the woman had gone before hathor had managed to snap her out of it, but it was a disappointingly familiar look that she’d seen many times in the faces of people dealing with intense emotional distress. “ you okay, sugar? ”

“ well aren’t you just the sweetest lookin’ thing in this bar? ” hathor leaned against the bar counter, a glass of beer in one hand, and a martini in the other. “ now, you were lookin’ a tad bit too lonely for my tastes, so i thought i’d bring you somethin’ to drink, and a little company. ”

“ well, well, well. If it isn’t my baby boy, nash. ” the grin on hathor’s face was ecstatic, and she held her arms out, calling him in for the biggest hug. “ how’ve you been, sweet heart? i haven’ seen you since that whole thing with... oh goddess, what was- was it the mason corporation? ”

“ heya sweetie. ” hathor grinned, slamming the back door of her van as she stood outside Kenzie’s garage. “ so, i’m in a spot of trouble- got kicked outta the motel. ” typically getting kicked out of a motel wouldn’t mean much to her, she’d been booted out of quite a few motels in her day. “ mind if i park franky here for a couple days while i try to find a place? ”

Johnnie cut his own talk short when the woman managed to get someone on the other end. Someone named Kenz, which must have been short for something. From what he could gather from the call, this woman called a friend of hers to pick her up, was staying at a motel for the time being, and named her dilapidated truck “Franky.”

Oh, and she said things like “hun.” Johnnie would have to get used to hearing that.

“Oh, just unlocking my car.” He accepted the phone back and cleared his own shit from the front seat of the car. “If you want a ride, you’ll have to tell me where you’re headed.” He waited for her to get inside. “The motel, huh? You also from out of town?”

“ ooh! ” hathor eyed the door with something approaching excitement. “ yeah, i’m headed to the motel. been stayin’ there for about... a few weeks now. ” and it seemed she probably wouldn’t be staying there much longer. “ yeah, i’m what the local folks call ‘a drifter’. just ridin’ the wind as i go as far as my van can take me. ”
