     SHE  SHOULD  PROBABLY  BE  MORE  WORRIED  about  what’s  to  come  —  the  trial,  the  recent  break  -  in  at  high  volume,  everything  that  happened  on  that  damn  boat  that  still  haunts  her  —  but  max  can’t  really  find  the  energy  to.  in  an  attempt  to  feel  any  kind  of  normalcy  she’s  ventured  out  to  freddy’s  diner  tonight,  greeting  the  owner  by  flipping  him  off  as  per  usual  (  some  habits  die  hard  )  and  ordering  a  strawberry  milkshake.

     she’s  not  at  all  surprised  when  she’s  presented  with  the  wrong  milkshake  (  ew,  banana  ),  but  she  knows  it’s  futile  to  fight  reyna’s  step  -  dad.  they’ve  never  exactly  seen  eye  to  eye.  max  glares  in  his  direction  before  making  her  way  over  to  a  familiar  face  sitting  alone.  she’s  not  about  to  let  food  go  to  waste  no  matter  how  nasty.  silently  she  slides  down  into  the  booth  opposite  her  co  -  worker.  «  free  shake  ?  »

( davika hoorne, cis female, she/her, muse b) oh snap! is that ALEXIS “LEX” DAO GORDON? they work over at high volume where some of the other employees have labeled them as THE WILD CARD. that’s probably because they can be a bit ( determined. ) but also pretty ( enigmatic. ) they’re 26 and they’ve been living in woodstock for 3.5 MONTHS. it must be their shift because i totally hear SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES blasting from the record store.

The forest should have been the part of Woodstock that called to her. It was the most like the Alders and Oaks that surrounded Portland. It was the only place of this town that Lex thought felt alive with the crickets and the birds, and whatever just scurried across her foot. Jerking her shoe backwards, the girl grimaced. “Lovely.” Another reason to hate it here. Yet for every insult she threw at the forest, every glare she tossed to the wind, she found herself wandering through the trees when the world got too much. When things were chaotic. When Jennifer brought her problems home, and she had to remember all the freedom she’d given up to try and be a good daughter. Why had she done that again? It’d been less than half a year and people had already died here. It wasn’t the cool, tip-toeing the line between life and death with a risky decision. No, it was gruesome and not at all romanticized. So she decided to give the quite of the forest a go as a way to stop thinking about how her homesickness was on another level. The pesky squirrel chased back over her feet, and this time, Lex was ready with a rock to toss at it, “Get lost-” The plunk of the pebble hitting the ground sounded a lot harder than it should of, and she flicked her gaze up to realize that it was another person she’d hit. “Not intentional.” @volumeupdates​

christian popped wordlessly into the break room, but not silently. his boots clomped against the scuffed tile, and the couch gave a low flomp as he threw himself on it, then rustled as christian wriggled around trying to get comfortable. “there’s something in here,” he finally said, bravely stuffing a hand in the cushions to see what it was.

“ do you want the rest of my pudding ? it’s not as good as yesterday’s. ” he frowns, mouth half-full, lazily prodding the pot’s contents with his little spoon. he has no idea how it could have changed from yesterday to now but he’s disappointed.

OPEN STARTER. ( @volumeupdates​​​ )

– BLAIR HATES HOSPITALS. not that it’s an unpopular opinion, but she’s got a couple memories that make her mouth feel dry, feet heavy. she’s muddling through it to hang around kem and be a good friend for a change, considering all the times she wasn’t there for him. not sure where ethan’s wandered to, blair’s messing with the hospital vending machine, trying to get a soda for free. she bangs on it twice, almost got it loose. one more aggressive shove and it topples down and she reaches for it, turning back around with a triumphant spin on her heels. lucky as hell.

“ oh, hey, ” not an ounce of guilt in her voice. perfectly casual as she pops the tab to ask an earnest question, “ you’re here for kem and not ‘cause you got roughed up yourself, right ? ”

@volumeupdates​. 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:  hospital,  a  few  days  after  the  hoedown  throwdown.

     IF  THERE’S  TWO  THINGS  MAXINE  SINCLAIR  has  learned  in  life  it’s  this:  life  is  such  a  fragile  thing,  and  people  are  meant  to  leave,  one  way  or  another.  being  here  revives  memories  max  has  done  her  best  to  tuck  away  and  though  they’re  all  telling  her  kem  will  be  fine  she  also  remembers  a  time  after  her  dad’s  death  when  they’d  told  her  she’d  be  fine.  she’s  not  so  convinced  she  ever  was  after  that.

     right  now,  max  is  staring  down  a  vending  machine,  knowing  full  well  she  has  no  more  cash  on  her  and  she’s  not  really  feeling  yet  another  kit  kat  bar  anyway.  in  fact,  the  mere  thought  of  it  makes  her  wanna  double  over,  but  both  trip  and  kem  have  been  adamant  about  her  trying  to  eat  something.  the  least  she  can  do  is  pretend.  

     sure  she  could  go  home,  trust  that  kem  is  in  good  hands,  there’s  not  much  she  can  do  here  anyway,  but  between  the  bench  in  the  hospital  lobby  and  the  immediate  proximity  to  kem  should  he  need  anything  max  feels  better  staying  —  this  despite  the  dried  blood  on  her  boots  and  her  greasy  hair.  

     max  decides  to  turn  on  her  heel,  headed  back  to  her  designated  bench  that  they’ve  told  her  to  leave  a  hundred  times  after  visitation  hours,  when  she  walks  straight  into  someone  without  so  much  as  glancing  at  them.  «  watch  it,  »  she  exclaims,  agitated,  out  of  character.

( kedar williams stirling, cis male, he/him/his ) oh snap ! is that WESLEY DAVIS ? they work over at high volume where some of the other employees have labeled them as THE ZEALOUS. that’s probably because they can be a bit ( passionate ) but also pretty ( overbearing. ) they’re 25 and they’ve been living in woodstock for THEIR WHOLE LIFE. it must be their shift because i totally hear OASIS blasting from the record store.

“Omigod,” Lilah said, looking around for something to offer the person her drink had just spilled all over - “I am so sorry, omigod..” She’d had a few too many, probably, and it had just slipped as she moved through the party. Luckily, the glass hadn’t broke or anything, but still she felt awful. Parties here considerably less fun with half a glass of alcohol on your top. “Here,” She said, shrugging off the flannel she’d been wearing over her shirt. “Take this.”

     SHE’S  NEVER  BEEN  SEASICK  BEFORE,  but  then  again  maxine  has  also  never  been  on  a  boat  whilst  simultaneously  trying  to  hold  down  too  much  liquor  and  looking  for  an  escaped  convict.  the  worry  is  choking  her,  and  so  she’s  standing  out  on  deck,  eyes  searching  the  dark  waters  for  nothing  in  particular.  the  cold  air  is  supposed  to  help,  but  if  she’s  breathing  she  can’t  really  feel  it  at  all.  and  to  think  she’d  been  foolish  enough  to  believe  that  the  current  weight  on  her  chest  could  become  a  ghost  soon.  

     she  hears  footsteps  approach,  but  doesn’t  look  up,  mostly  because  she’s  scared  she’ll  throw  up  if  she  does.  «  are  they  still  playing  dolly  parton  in  there  ?  i  love  that  woman,  but  there’s  only  so  many  times  i  can  hear  ‘  jolene  ’  in  one  night.  »

to say that josie was nervous to be there was an understatement. not only was this her greatest sneaking out ruse she had ever tried to pull off. she did the whole make it look like she was sleeping and even put a cassette tape of her snoring on blast so that her parents wouldn’t suspect a thing. and even though that was new and exciting, she was worried about so many things. what if i get seasick? what if i accidentally start gambling and become addicted? what if i gamble just once and end up going to hell because this is the devil’s game? what if i end up going overboard? so many things raced through her mind but there was a part of this that was exciting. 

josie was sneaking out, to do something other than work or band practice. in other words, this was josie’s first time sneaking out that wasn’t because she was committed to something. it was because she wanted to go. but that didn’t stop her stomach from churning on the boat from all of the ways tonight could go wrong. 

after having her first shot at the pregame, josie decided shots weren’t for her. but she did think maybe she could try to get something in her system to take the edge off, to make everything feel less daunting and scary all of the time. she turned to one of her high volume coworkers and asked, “what’s a good drink that’s like…fruity and sweet and doesn’t burn?”

OPEN STARTER // @volumeupdates​

     HER HANDS ARE FULL, one holding a stack of discarded cups and the other holding a few bottles of beer. “these aren’t mine,” sera instantly begins, and there’s no way she’d be able to drink all of this, but just in case someone was thinking about it. “i’m just trying to clean up a little, don’t want these falling into the river or anything.” or be used in a fight, she thinks, but she’s hoping that’s just her mind creating scenarios.
