He grinned at her approval, pleased with how this sequence of events had turned out. "Alright, it's a date then." Stepping around the counter, he headed towards her and the door. "I'll follow ya on over, that way y'aint gotta drive all th'way out here again." He flipped the sign hanging from the door to 'closed'. They had no more appointments for that day, there was no need to keep the office open.

"Y'know where it's at? Guess we could just pop it inta google."

@laureljacobs

"Well," Laurel said, giving Clint an approving nod. "You're a man after my own heart, then."

As someone who'd spent a long time without any money to speak of, sometimes she'd realized that she'd gone a while without thinking about it too deeply and it still hit like a small shock to the system. It was good that she had an accountant to worry about her spending for her, because not having to do it herself did make her a little careless sometimes.

"Sure, let's do it," they agreed with a nod, reaching into their bag for their keys. "You want me to drive you or will you follow me?"

Clint: Nail on the head. There's nothing for me there. Clint: You don't believe in supernatural stuff but you believe in little green men? What's the difference? Clint: At first I read that as your brother married an alien. Did you all have a falling out or something? Clint: Family was never my thing.

@jaredx

Jared: Ooft, so I expect you won't be returning home any time soon. Jared: It's just very attraction-ey, and almost feels like I'm living in some fantasy world. But still a nice place, just a bit too gloomy for me. I don't even know if I believe in all that supernatural stuff. Jared: Aliens on the other hand, yes. Jared: One of them married my little brother, so kinda family. I don't mind his wife, her sister is a little wild for my opinion or was, I don't know, I haven't spoke to them for awhile.

The others question wasn't one that was very surprising. This was the time of year when everyone had their minds on the holidays. Even down here where the changes in seasons were barely noticeable, people still decorated like it was going to be a snowy white Christmas. "There an option fer neither? I don't decorate fer Christmas." He drawls, not that he decorated for any holiday, but Christmas was probably his least favorite time of the year, the thought of decorating for it couldn't be any less interesting to him. "What about you? Y' already hung th' lights up or are ya waitin'?"

"Okay, so are you a person that waits until after Thanksgiving to put up Christmas decorations? Or is it exactly right after Halloween that Christmas will get put up?" Gwen thought waiting until after Thanksgiving was the way to go, since that's when Christmas music would play on the radio. But recently, she felt as if this weekend was the perfect weekend to start.

🫂 PEOPLE HUGGING — generally speaking, do you feel very supported by the people in your life? how strong and cohesive is your support system, if you have one? do you often feel like you're at the front of the line or pushed to the side by the people in your life?

"I ain't really got one. There's a few people I've gotten t'know a bit here, I enjoy spendin' time with 'em, but I don't know if I'd call 'em a support system. I ain't complainin' though, it's somethin' I'm used to. Th'only support I had growin' up was m'brother but he ended up leavin' when he saw th'chance when we was kids. Don't blame him fer that, I woulda probably done th'same if I were in his shoes."

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your favorite holiday and why?

"I got a love-hate relationship with Halloween. I like that people let their wild side out 'n I ain't gonna complain 'bout th' candy, but back in th'day when I worked as a bouncer th'days leadin' up t'Halloween 'n th' day itself were always exhaustin'. If th'damn holiday ended up on a Wednesday, th'bullshit would go from one weekend t'the next. Apparently people lose all common sense when dressed up. I don't really take notice t'other holidays, so I suppose that leaves it as m'favorite."

Clint: And who the fuck told you that? Clint: Cause they were bold face lying. Clint: I wasn't joking when I said I never played it. Clint: At least you're used to wearing tight things like that diving suit. Clint: I don't even know who these characters are.

"Naw, guess boats are less of a liability t'others. Imagine that's th'reason behind it. But, I don't know, could just be talkin' out m'ass. I'm from southern Louisiana, think, deep in the bayou, bein' out in th'water's a way of life there." He answers with a shrug. Most didn't really care about these kinds of things, most people who approached him about boating just wanted to take them out for a joy ride or were wondering about the best fishing spots, neither scenario he was willing to engage with. "Getting stuck? Sure, especially when I was a kid. Ain't ever sunk though." He eyed the other for a moment. "What are ya doin' hangin' out in the marina anyway?"

@sagexwilliams

“Really? I figured anywhere it would be hard- or at least like it would be to get a driver’s license. Where are you from?” Sage asked, hoping the man wasn’t too annoyed by her questions, she was just curious. “Have you ever come close to something like that happening?”

Being out in such a crowded public place was bad enough, doing so while wearing a purple scallop bikini top was worse, it didn't matter that there was a shirt underneath, he looked ridiculous and though he had no proof, he felt exposed, like everyone was looking at him, judging, laughing, it left him feeling on edge. He couldn't believe Hinata got them into this mess, losing a bet, they now both had to dress as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, he didn't even know who those characters were, just that they looked stupid as fuck. As soon as he entered the space, he practically bee-lined it to the bar, not bothering to grab a barstool, he instead leaned on the surface and waved down the bartender. "Git me a house whiskey...." He started before he considered again. "Actually... make it a double." The adjustment of the order came with him straightening up a bit when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. "I swear on m'life Hinata, if that's you..." His voice trails off as the glass of whiskey lands in front of him.

Clint: Believe me, you ain't missing anything by not going.

Clint: Worked in New Orleans, so I get the tourists looking for spooky shit, the shops and shit play into it, gotta make that dough. I imagine Salem is on another level though.

Clint: Sort of family? I feel like a dentist pulling teeth here.

@jaredx

Clint: Houma Louisiana. Picture like the rural rash on New Orleans ass. That's Houma. Clint: Nothing but bayous and swamps. Where I grew up they didn't even bother paving the roads. Clint: Alright, I might take you up on that. I'll still give you a head's up. Clint: Levins... Friends of yours or nah?

With the machine started, Clint turned and leaned against the machine, giving Jude his full attention. His response was interesting, surely he wouldn't be wearing something so formal for no reason, despite how vague the other was being about it, but then again, Jude wasn't exactly an open book even on a good day. "As long as it ain't a court date, I suppose." He comments passively.

At his question, he tried to think back, he'd never used an iron in his life. "Mm, might have one. There's still some junk left in m'attic from th'previous owners. I can check t'see if they left an iron."

@pcrdita

He probably wasn't supposed to put a suit in the dryer, but Jude didn't respect the garment enough to for it to be properly steam cleaned. Especially since he only had to wear it, for comparatively his second least favourite day of the year. Removing it from the industrial size barrel, it didn't look too worn. He put it on low heat just in case. "Wouldn't call it special." He could put a name to that accent from a mile away. No one else in this town sounded exactly like he did, except for Clint. Turning around, Jude catches the dirty blonde with his own laundry. "Y'don't have an iron at home, d'ya?'

He let out an amused breath at the recognition and the recall of their one and only meeting. "I had m' reasons. Not t' claim they were good ones, but hell, y' held yer own. Sorry 'bout that by th'way." The apology came before she mentioned her boyfriend. So they were an item after all, that explained the man built like a brick shit house barrelling at him at the marina. First Luna steals his wallet and now this. "Yeah, got that impression at our last run in not too long ago. Y' got yerself a protective one huh?" It was hard to tell how bad she hurt herself, from the slur of her words and the alcohol on her breath, he had an inkling she couldn't really tell either. "Famously strong, huh?" He questions, considering his options, he couldn't just leave her there. "How 'bout I git ya t'a bench, I'll go find someone from medical t'take a look at ya, see how strong those ankles of yers are."

@dancingdanvers

In a world of her own as she sat where she’d fallen on the floor (luckily it was somewhat padded due to it being a beach so…sand) Sloane was giggling as she inspected her rolled ankle. She could still move it so I wasn’t the biggest disaster in the world, and while the drinks she’d had could mean the pain wouldn’t properly come through until later - that really sounded like a tomorrow Sloane’s problem. She was looking up to tell the person who was at her side that she was fine when it dawned on her that she’d seen them before. 

“Hey…you’re the guy that yelled at me for no fucking reason." A little reductive of the situation but she was in no fit state to worry about being more eloquent. With another wave of giggles she just said - "My boyfriend fucking hates you." As if he hadn't just asked her a very direct question about if she'd sprained her ankle. "I haven't. sprained it....probably...it'll be fine. I have famously strong ankles." Sloane grinned.  @clint-bennet

Clint had been having regrets coming to the summer festival. He shouldn't have let the other convince him. Their idea of fun wasn't the same as his, but now he was stuck here, agreeing to be the DD and get people home safely after they thoroughly intoxicated themselves. From the looks of it, he still had a long night ahead of him before anyone would even be close to wanting to go get some rest.

"This was a mistake..." He muttered to himself, kicking at the sand under his boots and starting to make his way around the edge of the dance floor to try and escape some of the bass coming off of the speakers which by this point was giving him a headache. He was a few steps in before a flash of red hair went tumbling down in front of him, stopping him in his tracks. "Shit, y'alright?" He exclaimed and offered a hand only to see the familiar face of the redhead. "Did y'sprain it?" The question came as he jutted his chin towards her ankle.

@dancingdanvers

Where: The beach party! Who: Open to anyone! ( @aurorabaystarter )

Sloane felt like she was on cloud nine, probably helped by the amount of cocktails she'd ingested over the last...hour? Still, it was time to break the seal and as the current song finished she extracted herself from the person she'd been dancing up against with a shout of "I need the bathroom" and stumbling off into the throngs of people who were still moving around each other. While on the hard flooring they'd put down to dance on she'd been able to dance in her heels easily, but as soon as she hit the sand at the edge everything went a little backwards. With a shriek she ended up in a heap right on the sand before dissolving into hysterical giggles coupled with a 'ouch' as she took hold of her ankle.

"Stability. That's pretty much it. When I start losin' that sense of stability, I start t'spiral 'n lose m'self. Havin' a job, a schedule, a sense of some purpose, even if it's small, just so I can have somethin' t'focus on gives me th'sense of stability I need."
