“Wow, it’s like you don’t trust me even a little bit.” River rolled her eyes, swinging their linked hands between them. The witch had always loved participating in the Founder’s Day events, especially since she’d been passed the mantle of head witch.

“Believe it or not, most of this event is a giant tourist trap for businesses, but I know a few different places where it isn’t as… overdone.”

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʀᴜsᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴀ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ʙɪᴛ.      ’      she was spontaneous where he was cautious and that always led to the dead stare that he gave when she tried to convince him that she had a good idea. usually her ideas ended with him cleaning up after her mess.      ‘      overdone. that’s the definition of you.      ’

“I know.” River nodded. She knew the situation was complicated to say the least and they’d definitely have to work out lots of little details before she’d be able to go meet them. “Maybe we can go visit them and go camping this fall.” She hummed, stepping out of the circle of his arms, though she tugged one of his hands between hers, fingers intertwining with his, refusing to stop touching him.

“On a separate note, c’mon. You just got home from traveling and it feels like it’s been ages. What do you wanna do tonight? Just us. We can stay in and do dinner and a movie, or we can go out and do something. Either way, you’re cooking something for me. There isn’t a restaurant in this town that can compare to having my own personal chef.”

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʀᴏʟʟɪɴɢ ʜɪs ᴇʏᴇs ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ғᴏɴᴅ sᴍɪʟᴇ, ʏᴏ ᴀʟʟᴏᴡᴇᴅ ʜᴇʀ ᴛᴏ drag him along.      ‘     you know, flattering me makes me in no way more inclined to cook for you. you think i’m wrapped around your little finger, and i’m definitely not. i can say no to you.     ’      he was lying through his teeth, every word sounding more false than the first. they both knew that if there was one person he was weak to, it was her. from the moment he’d met her, he’d wanted her.

‘      we can stay in. i’m hoping you actually kept the fridge stocked with food. or i’ll have to get very creative and you know i hate that.      ’

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʜᴏᴡ sʜᴇ'ᴅ ᴍᴀɴᴀɢᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴅʀᴀɢ ʜɪᴍ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ ʜɪs safe little comfort zone, but she had. river had a habit of pulling him out of the small recesses that he’d stuck himself into for the sake of familiarity and showing him parts of the world that he’d never even seen before. he’d lived in rainier for two years now and not once had he ever attended the founder’s day parade or partaken in it in any way, shape, or form.      ‘     where are we even going? i feel like we’re passing the ACTUAL event.      ’

❛ | BASIL ]

“i honestly feel so elated right now, i feel like a teenage girl who lives in California and has a hot body, and a hot boyfriend, whooo.. need to get me hot a boyfriend,” basil rambled on in his drunk state, how many bottles did he have? he couldn’t count, and the night was barely starting. his movements were erratic and he couldn’t keep a steady balance easily, leaning on the other person for support, he put his arm around the person and leaned his face dangerously close to the other, and continued on, “man, you should try some,” he suggested, his breath reeking of alcohol, “makes you feel like a barbie girl!”  then he threw his head back and let out an abnormally loud laugh.

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʏᴏᴠᴀɴɴɪ ᴅɪᴅɴ'ᴛ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ. ʜᴇ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ғᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ good came from a drunk whereas if he was high, he mellowed out; his social anxiety dissipated and he felt more inclined to calm down. the man before him, however, was the prime example of what he did not want to be. wincing at the other, yo shook his head and put a hand out to support the other.      ‘    i think you’ve had enough for the BOTH of us. maybe you need to sit down.      ’

❛ | GIANA ]

giana laughed. “you know i’m the coolest, don’t play yourself.” she teased. giana appreciated yovanni, he was always there for her and she made sure she was always there as well, just in case she needed to return the favor. “sooo, hows everything?” she asked leaning on the counter. 

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʏᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ʀɪᴠᴇʀ ʙᴏᴛʜ sᴇᴇᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ that i love either of you far more than i actually do.     ’      he muttered as the tips of his ears grew red and the colour spread in his lack of comfort.      ‘     what’s THAT supposed to mean, gi?      ’ 

[ycvannis]

❛ | EMELIA ]

“Right.”  Not completely believing him, Em took a look at the treats.  “Something with chocolate.  I guess brownies are the go to, huh?”  At this point it really didn’t matter to her.  The end result would be the same.

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀᴍᴇ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ɪs a brownie?      ’     the question was flat, lacklustre in delivery as he focused more on the curiosity of whether she’d ever even been high in her life before or not.      ‘     have you been in here before? i don’t recognise you.      ’

That was enough to get a slight pout out of the witch. “I want to. I promise, it’s not that I don’t wanna. It’s just that the head witch can’t leave with all this stuff happening.” She met his gaze, leaning back just a bit, though she made no move to actually step out of his arms.

“But we could always invite them out here, y’know. You did just move into a new house, so that’s a good reason to come visit.”

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ʟᴇss ᴛʜᴀɴ ɪᴍᴘʀᴇssᴇᴅ ᴇxᴘʀᴇssɪᴏɴ, yo kept in his sigh rather than releasing it.      ‘     and what am i supposed to tell my family? my dad doesn’t know. my sister doesn’t know.      ’     as much as he wished to see his family more, they’d never known what his mother was and once his powers became too much to hide, he’d had to do the same thing she’d eventually done: he left. seeing them separately was a pain, but he almost understood why she’d done what she had as he avoided too much contact for fear of what it might reveal.      ‘     it’s fine. it’s... they know you exist. they’ve seen heard you speak. it’s enough for now. maybe i can get my mum out. that’d be about it.      ’

Emmy went into hashtag with specific plans of grabbing something and going home.  It was safer that way.  She was in serious need of a little relaxation or something to help her not think about her stupid drama that she created for herself.  It was no one’s fault but her own but she was still swimming in her own self pity pool.  Eyebrow raised upon seeing the man who was working up front, she couldn’t help but laugh internally.  She definitely knew the look of someone pretending to act normal when they were high.  She walked up to him with a smile.  “I’ll have whatever you had.”

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ᴡʜᴀᴛᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴇ'ᴅ ʜᴀᴅ? sʜᴇ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ʜᴇ ᴡᴀs -       ‘       no, i haven’t had anythign today. i can’t cook while i’m high. knives and waning focus are not a good combination.     ’     maybe if he had tried something earlier, he would have been a bit more calm in the situation. as much as he liked people, communicating with them came with struggles.      ‘     i can give you a few suggestions, if you give me some guidelines or something.      ’

“Oh, come on.  Cheer up.  Can’t take a little joke?”  Really she was surprised her mouthing off didn’t get her into more trouble.  

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ʜᴇ ᴡᴀs ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ sᴏᴍᴇ sᴀʀᴄᴀsᴛɪᴄ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛ. he was. there was one in the back of his throat, clawing its way up trying to break past the barrier’s he’d set.      ‘     take the coffee or leave it.      ’

[ycvannis]

❛ | AVERY ]

Avery perked up a bit when the stranger offered to pay. Though she wasn’t quite sure why he was doing it. He didn’t seem like the ‘to be nice’ type of person. “Well, with that kind of offer, why the hell not?” The sarcasm in her tone was obvious and would probably lose her her coffee.

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴍʏ ᴍᴏɴᴇʏ ᴛᴏ ᴍʏsᴇʟғ.       ’      he delivered flatly. if she didn’t want to take the kindness, he didn’t have to force it on her.

“And there it is.” River teased, her mouth curling up into a fond smile. “I missed you too.” Her fingers absentmindedly running through the hair at the back of his neck. The witch leaned forward to steal a kiss, closing the last bit of distance between them.

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʀɪᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴅ ᴀ ʜᴏʟᴅ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀs ᴇᴠɪᴅᴇɴᴛ in the way his fond gaze fell over her. large hands cupped her jaw during the tender kiss, but when he broke off, he could only watch her as if he wanted to remember every line of her face, every detail as if she might disappear.     ‘     my mother says hi, so you know. she says she hopes you keep me in line, though i don’t think she’d expect you to be so mature if she’d actually met you.      ’

[ycvannis]

❛ | GIANA ]

giana listened to yovanni but couldn’t keep the grin off her face as she knew he wasn’t serious. “i’m sure you are much better at being nice than you think.” she said to him. “you just gotta put a little more effort into getting to know people, you got to know me and i might just be the coolest person in your life.” 

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ᴛʀᴜᴛʜғᴜʟʟʏ, ʜᴇ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴀɴʏ ᴏғ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs. people were fascinating things, always different with ever-changing opinions and lifestyles. he  preferred to observe and partaking in conversations with strangers was where he fell short in enjoyment.      ‘      you just say that because i put up with you.... coolest? i’m going to let you think that, g. don’t want to completely kill your ego.      ’

Avery took a drag from her vape, watching the smoke as she blew it out.  Turning it off, she walked into Daily Grind, getting her daily fix.  She didn’t work till later but coffee was a must.  “Fuck… I forgot my damn wallet…”

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ɴᴏᴡ, ɪғ ʏᴏᴠᴀɴɴɪ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴀ ɢᴏᴏᴅ sᴀᴍᴀʀɪᴛᴀɴ, he’d offer to pay for her coffee or whatever she wanted, but he only stared at her. she was shit out of luck and it really wasn’t his problem, but the pull to be nice was getting to him.      ‘     fine, i’ll pay for your coffee if you want.      ’

[ycvannis]

❛ | GIANA ]

giana had just finished a batch of brownies, figured that’d be enough for a while seeing as it was slow in the dispensary. she enjoyed being the primary baker for #hashtag, she got the pleasure of eating as much edibles as she wanted. she walked out to the front, where yovanni was giving painful forced smiles to the few people in the shop. “you know, you could just hire more people and then you wouldn’t have to sit up here with a fake smile.” she said to him as she took a bite of a freshly baked brownie. “or an alternative option would be to actually interact with people, you might discover it’s not so bad.” 

❛ ┆ —— ‘ ʟɪsᴛᴇɴ ʜᴇʀᴇ, ʟᴀssɪᴇ.      ’     he started off jokingly. giana was right and there was no denying that his lack of a willingness to be social was more of a crutch than an asset.      ‘      people just say stupid shit and i cannot be held responsible for my reaction to them. therefore, i HAVE to sit back here and keep to myself or else i’m going to have to let them know how fucking stupid they are.      ’
