oh darling, we are not friends

Vivian Thorne 21 Dancer and waitress at Fire&Ice “Darling, I hope you're not operating under the misconception that we're somehow 'pals."

[anita-grimsby]

anita watched the other girl silently as a blush colored her pale cheeks, but a smile soon took its place. the young secretary looked about once to make sure no one else had seen before nodding with a gentle laugh.         ❝ we shall. ❞ she murmured as she moved towards the door.

[vivianthorne]

“So what was all that about?” Vivian asked when they finally made it out, initially she had wanted to lash out at the girl but now the whole thing just seemed so funny, she was trying hard not to laugh.

You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. I’m 5’6″/168cm.

the night was all you had, you ran into the night from all you had. found yourself a path upon the ground. you ran into the night; you can’t be found. but this is your heart, can you feel it?

[clyde-jenner-blog]

“Do you mind?”

[clyde-jenner-blog]

Clyde frowned, returning his gaze to the doe moving swiftly away.

“At this point, I’d only take that shot on a dare.  Chattering with you scared her off.”

“You should wear louder clothes if you nap all that often in the woods.  Someone might step on you otherwise.”

[vivianthorne]

“Not even to show me just how good of a hunter you are?”

“I don’t do bright colors handsome. But you are the expert, so I should probably get something yellow and annoying to be safe.”

[tanya-bellman]

“I don’t care if it’ll help this god damn sore throat; I’m not going to drink anything that looks like that.”

[vivianthorne]

“It’s your call. Just remember I drank the horrible drink you made me last time. And in this case drinking this might actually help.”

[emmaagnes1831]

Emma sat down and wrapped her arms around her knees “I had a dream that this horrible man had a small child locked inside a room. No reason for him to do that but he simply kept telling the kid that he deserved it because of how we was born. Every time I tried to speak up it felt like was mute. I just kept hearing this child crying and screaming for help. It all felt too real.”

Emma was thankful this girl talked to her for a bit. Yes, it was super awkward to talk to someone Emma didn’t know but it somehow made it better that way i would be easier to avoid them. “Honestly, just listening helps, thank you.”

[vivianthorne]

Vivian listened to girl’s nightmare in silence. She couldn’t imagine what it must have felt, to hear a child screaming for help and not being able to do anything. She wondered if she should give the girl a path on the back, or something, she really wasn’t good at this. “Have you ever dreamed that before?” 

“It’s this town... I mean it seems like in every corner there’s someone who needs help, but there’s nothing we can do to help them... even if we want to.”

[anita-grimsby]

Anita’s hands wrung together in a nervous habit she would never readily admit to as she smiled sheepishly at the other woman. The change in demeanor didn’t go unnoticed by the young secretary, but she had already pushed her luck this afternoon … she wasn’t about to do it AGAIN. ❝ I feel terrible          about it, truly. I must have been distracted. ❞

[vivianthorne]

“No one has to know...” Vivian said with a mischievous smile while carefully picking up the pieces and looking for a place to stash them. “Shall we?” she asked the girl while glancing at the door, she hoped she would catch what she was trying to say.

[vivianthorne]

[littlejohnandermenhere]

“I guess you are just going to have to wait and see.”

“When are you free for our little rendezvous?”  

[vivianthorne]

“That’s how it is huh? Well I hope you don’t disappoint...”

“I don’t usually use my days off, mainly because working is the only thing keeping from dying of boredom in this town, so that means that as long as I tell Faye in advance she’s okay with me taking a day off... so it’s up to you handsome... when are you free?”

[george-ferdinand]

“I’m hoping that it will be someone I’m familiar with honestly, but thank you. I think that will help me decide what to put in one if I decide to donate one.”

“It depends on how one feels about a lakefront picnic. I personally believe it could be taken as either, but it would depend on who won my basket.”

[vivianthorne]

“Unless you arrange it prior to it, or are you familiar with a lot of people?”

“Ohh lakefront picnic, it sounds romantic, and trust me I’m not the romantic type. You don’t have to worry about what’s on the basket, you picked a good location and you are easy to look at, whoever wins is going to enjoy it.”

[vivianthorne]

“What the hell...”

[littlejohnandermenhere]

“You know I think I’ve read that somewhere as well. If it’s true you had nothing to worry about while you were sleeping.”

“It’s close to five. I was actually about to go grab some dinner. Care to join me sleepyhead?” 

[vivianthorne]

“Well you really know how to make a lady feel special...”

“Five? I was only joking about sleeping for real... I can’t believe I actually feel asleep in the woods... Dinner sounds great, you have a place in mind?”

[hnahooksman-deactivated20170614]

“I am the executioner, all the time. This isn’t a job you turn on and off, its a mindset, a constant responsibility, a constant scrutiny. This is who I am.”

[vivianthorne]

“That’s not true... you are not exactly executing anyone right now... yeah it’s true we can’t forget the shit we’ve done or experienced... but I don’t know if anyone has ever told you before... you are more than your job.”

[meghanfehr]

Oh yes, so much fun. I am so excited, and I really can’t hide it. 

I honestly have no idea of his opinion on the matter. Maybe I should just take the basket and run. What would you do?

[vivianthorne]

Well it’s not like he’s difficult to look at ... and the basket is good, right? So maybe just go for the basket. If he’s not being irritating stay, if you can’t stand him just leave. 

That’s what I would do. Just show up for the basket.

[missfayemathers]

“I think they love my alcohol and dancers more than they love me but as long as they come out to support I really don’t mind. Thank you darling, I can’t take all the credit for it though, Tanya was a big help. It was mostly her idea.”

“Oh congratulations! I’m sure John has something quite exciting planned. Whatever it is I’m sure it will be memorable. Has he told you anything about it yet?” 

[vivianthorne]

“Who doesn’t love alcohol right?” Vivian said knowing she was never going to be able to convince Faye of how the town actually felt for her, as far as Vivian was aware there wasn’t a single person in town who didn’t like Faye. But she knew her boss would never accept that, which in Vivian’s mind only made her more deserving of all the love she got. “Tanya huh? Well I’ll be sure to say something to her later...”

“Not really, just that I should be ready for the adventure of a lifetime... should I be worried?”

[beautifulhans]

Hans leaned forward and pouted, looking down at her with a smirk on his face. “Is that right, darling? I am so terribly sorry if I sound threatening to you. Do tell me, is there anything I might able to do to seem less like someone who might hurt you?”

“I was thinking some warm hot fudge which is much better licked off someone, perhaps with a kiss.”

[vivianthorne]

“Perhaps if you let me look at your face more closely...” she said closing the distance between them, “or if you let me see that you don’t have any weapons...” Vivian said as she pressed her palm against his chest and started to slide it down slowly.

“Mmm... I’ve never tried it like that before... but where are we going to find hot fudge at this hour?”

[vivianthorne]

“Can’t it just wait five minutes?”

[henrycoulter-deactivated2016021]

Henry tilted his head to the side and laughed. “Oh, what did you mean then?” He had always tried to make people smile and laugh. There weren’t very many things in his life that he enjoyed more. When he had been given the job, he was a little shocked, after all, he wasn’t as intimidated as he thought. It had been about his size and he was alright with that. Nodding, he straightened himself up and tried to get rid of the smile on his face. It felt really strange, but he was going to try and seem intimidating. As he managed to remove the smile from his face, his face was expressionless. “How do I look? More intimidating?” Henry could only keep the expression for a moment before he laughed. “I like that. My smile is as big as me. It’s cute. Thank you. I like that.” Her response made sense. She really did seem like she could take care of herself. Perhaps she really would be alright.

“Okay, that sounds good. Take your time, really.” Henry grinned and leaned up against the wall. “I’m doing well. There’s not many people here right now, so I’m taking a little break, but I’m keeping an eye on the door for safety.” He put his hands into his pockets. “Everything is good. The weather has been amazing and everyone here is just fun to be around.”

[vivianthorne]

“That for someone of your size you move around quietly...” she laughed, “or maybe I was just distracted...” Vivian didn’t understand why every time she talked to Henry she laughed, it was as if he had some sort of magic about him that made people happy just by being near him. And just as she had finished wondering about it, there he was, just being himself and making her laugh again, “yes that’s the one” she said in response to his serious face, “but honestly as long as you stand straight to your full height people people are intimidated by you...” she said with a smile. 

Vivian took another drag as she listened to his answer, “the perks of a weeknight...” she said nonchalantly, “the weekend is approaching so we should take advantage of these little breaks” Vivian was grateful for the times the club was at full capacity, she really cared for the business, if anyone deserved to not be stressed about paying bills it was Faye. But a full club meant that when she was not on stage she had to be waiting tables, and Henry would be extra busy at the doors. “Glad to hear that” Vivian said in a soft voice and smiled at Henry, “so what do you need?” she asked as she put the cigarette out. 

[vivianthorne]

george-ferdinand:

“You’re welcome,” he said.

“No, not at all. Company is always welcome.”

“That’s not always true... but I’m glad you feel that way.”

“Anny recommendations?” Vivian asked while reaching for a menu.

[vivianthorne]

drizella-moore:

“Sorry.” Izzy apologized. She didn’t think she would end up frightening the girl, but it turned out she did. “You think one of your clients is following you?” She raised a brow, keeping her heavy book tucked under her arm. At least if said client did show up and try something, Izzy wouldn’t hesitate to brain him with her book. “Ah, well…I wanted to take a walk. I didn’t want to be at home.”

“Yeah... he apparently doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘no’ ... but it’s just another day a work...” Vivian said with a slight shrug. She didn’t want to dump her worries on anyone, she hated when it happened, specially not on someone she barely knew, but it was better if the girl knew what might happen. “A walk? At this time?” she raised an eyebrow, “is being home really that bad?” Vivian knew all about being miserable at home, but the moment the question left her lips she regretted asking. “None of my business...” she tried to add quickly.
