ninamurray: 

As the hot liquid seeped through her shirt, she hissed as the heat hit her skin, trying not to swear in front of her son who had already begun making some starkly scolding noises from behind his many layers of winter clothing. “I — … no, you’re fine, absolutely fine” She managed a smirk behind gritted teeth as she tried to shake off the last remnants of what smelled like tea. “Might I make a suggestion though? Perhaps you could get one of those old motorcycle mirrors so you can see incoming accidents waiting to happen?”.

It wasn’t the worse thing in the world that could have happened but Zuri really couldn’t blame the other for coming across a little surly. She had in fact just dumped her coffee on her. Stepping outside of her ego and putting herself in the others shoes, she decided she would just have to suck it up. Poor humor and all. “Yea, true..I’ll be more careful next time, promise,” she said, handing some napkins to the other. “Is there something I can get for you to make up for it? I definitely want to take care of your dry cleaning, if you’ll allow me to...” She let out an exasperated sigh. “What can I do to help make this right?”

Mason had her earbuds on, trying to listen closely to one of the rough cuts of a song she’d just recorded earlier this week. When someone started talking, she was pulled out of her trance, seeing as the opposing voice was louder than her own through the little bud. “Good for y-” Mason started to say until the drink the woman had doused her entirely, causing her to jump and drop her phone as she pulled the hot clothing away from her body. “Fuck, man! Can I get a napkin or something?”

Zuri was all ready to grab napkins as soon as she realized that her coffee had landed on the other, but something about the other’s tone had given her pause. For a millisecond she thought about saying fuck it and walking off, but then again...she had spilled the coffee. She sighed audibly, mumbled an apology, taking her sweet ass time grabbing the napkins. “Here have these,” she said, handing off some paper towels finally. Had the other been more approachable, she might have helped but instead, she kept her distance. “Um, sorry again. I’m happy to take care of your dry cleaning, or just replace your clothing altogether. You decide and either way I’ll write you a check if you’d like.”

Paige laughed and shook their head, “That was extremely gendered, his cooking could be bad too. And who doesn’t like fat asses?” They raised an eyebrow, “Anyone who does is not someone I want to spend time with. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. I mean I feel like ignoring someone just cause I didn’t cum is a shitty move. We’re adults I can just be…honest, right?”

“Right, of course...never said they couldn’t.” Her brow knitted. “Any one who does what is not someone you want to spend time with?” she questioned. “Oh, well, sound like you’re not trying to ditch the person as it originally came across, then in that case...seems like you’ve got it all worked out.”

[zuri-west]

“Shut the fuck up...are you kidding me?” came her shocked response standing in line at Starbucks pulling up the balance on her student loan payment on her iPhone. Spinning around excitedly, she yelped at the random person standing next to her in line. “My freaking boss paid off my student laws, can you believe that?” Unfortunately, she’d forgotten about the cup of Chai tea until it had flewn out of her hand and by some miracle that defied logic and the properties of physics, had landed on the other person. “Oh shit...I mean..yikes...sorry?” she winced, mortified at her mistake. 

[paige---brooks]

“What’s a polite way to tell someone they were really bad in bed and you’d rather fall down steps than see them again? Do you think I can find an emoji that expresses that?”

[zuri-west]

“I doubt there's an emoji or even a polite way to say it but if it's a guy you could aways insult his manhood, tell him he has a  dick the size of a baby gherkin. If a lady the easy way out is to either insult her cooking or point out she has a gynormous ass unless you happen to like fat asses,” she paused, giving it some more thought as she chewed on a maraschino cherry.  "Maybe just ignore them when they call. Seems easier and less messy that way.”

      Fall weather always put Lorelai in a good mood. It was her favorite time of year, when the air was crisp and cool, the leaves beautiful shades of yellow and orange, houses decorated with ghouls and ghosts, and horror films played on almost every channel.  Even a 24 hour shift couldn’t dampen her day. She had made her way to her favorite coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee which she of curse, filled with cream and sugar, before taking a glance around the place. It was crowded,  of course it was. It was that time of day, after all. She did one more once around before heading towards a table that had one empty seat. She walked over, standing in front of the seat in question. “Is this seat open? And, if it isn’t, can I offer you a free cup of whatever you’re drinking in exchange for it? I have some work to get done and this is the only open spot” she smiled, hoping it came across as charming.

Zuri looked up from the pad of notes she'd rewritten at least ten times, clutching a handful of highlighters in one hand, cup of chai tea in the other.  “"Sure, knock yourself out.” At the offer she raise don't her cup in the air and gave a soft shrug. “"You're good, think I'm all covered.” She pulled in her bottom list, giving the other an appraising look. She didn't look like a serial killer or an alien so all good there. “"Better snatch it up, it's busy, like you said.”

“Ugh that's gonna be a hard no for me... already had my max on carbs today, sadly,” she stated while eyeballing the others shake. “"Nope, just gonna sit here and enjoy my bunless crappy burger instead...”
