Gracie narrowed her eyes playfully at Cole as she tried to read him on his response, with what she saw and was okay, she nodded her head in appreciation and laughed. "Okay, fine, I'll believe you this one time." She said jokingly.

"Well damn, you should've said something Cole, you're holding out on me. I could have been comfortable running around with an orange jump suit instead of fighting these wings every step of the way." Gracie laughed lightly. She didn't mind her costume, it was the wings and wig that was giving her a hard time. In all honesty, she should've just died her hair a lighter orange to save the struggle of wearing said costume. "I'm supposed to be Bloom. Although I might have just went as Flora."

Cole chuckled, running a hand through his hair as he smirked at her. "Cliché? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. But don’t worry, you’re the only one I’ve tried it on tonight—scout’s honor." He held up two fingers in a mock salute, his grin never wavering.

He tilted his head, taking in her costume with a playful glint in his eyes. "Winx Club, huh? Gotta say, you’re pulling it off, even if the wings are fighting you every step of the way. Jail uniform would’ve been too easy—besides, it’s Halloween. You’re supposed to suffer a little for the look, right? Though, you could've borrowed my old orange jumpsuit." He teased, leaning slightly toward her. "So, which Winx are you? Or am I just supposed to guess and hope I don’t offend a fairy in the process?" @gracecromwell

🔥 - cole

send me a 🔥 and i'll tell you one thing my muse finds attractive about yours

"As long as you promise not to mention this at all to him because I don't need him to tease me about this later or anytime soon." Gracie pointed her finger and lowered it back to her lap. "I think when he pays attention to small details or pays attention to what I said before and brings it up in our silly conversations. Of course he's attractive, anyone with eyes would see that. But I don't focus on looks when I find myself liking someone. He just...understands me and I find that really attractive. Which is probably why I find it hard not to like him--not that I like him that way or anything, once again, don't you dare repeat this to him."

"Okay okay, fine I'll spill." She said laughing at the pout she gave towards her. "Well he's funny, kind of sarcastic--well he is very sarcastic. Which I really enjoy in a person because if they can't be sarcastic with me then what's the point you know?" She started to think about Cole as she continued, "When we talk, we tend to bicker, flirting back and forth but I sometimes have to put space between us to not allow myself to fall for those lines he gives which are those silly pick up lines. His smile is so...hot? Like he gives a smirk and it has me feeling like a silly school girl who got her first crush." Gracie now felt like she was blubbering out whatever which she quickly shut down as she toyed with her ring. "I don't know, I think I'm just scared to allow myself to fall for someone new." She stared at Luciana and smirked, "You're very smart for that."

"I can't believe you aren't going to dish with me." Luciana pouts playfully. "You know I'm one of the best people to hear all about the stuff going on." She teases as she reaches out to grab the box of pizza when they call their name. She looks at her from over her shoulder. "And all I have to show for my work is my clients and myself eating pizza on a Friday night."

"Ah...what a cliche line Mr. Jones" She raised her brows and couldn't help but to smile in return. "I wonder how many that worked on tonight." She pulled at the wing strap and sighed, "Yes I am. But I'm a character from the Winx club because I figured it was a simple enough costume but let me tell you, these wings are terrible. I should've just worn a jail uniform."

“I’m Indiana Jones, of course. Here to find some treasure,” he grinned cheekily, looking down at her. Blue hues couldn’t help hit take in her outfit, he had no idea what she was aside from assuming she was some sort of fairy. “Looks like you’re the treasure, though, Gracie.” Smooth as fuck, he thought. “Are you a fairy?"

[gracecromwell]

Laughing lightly as she nods her head, "Well I am glad. Here I was trying to think of something creative I can do on the spot but my mind went blank. It's like those conversations you have and someone asks what do you do for fun and you have to go with a generic answer like...crocheting. Which I cannot do by the way."

"I promise it's not that bad." Although Hinata knew that some people just didn't like the ocean and there was nothing wrong with that, it was just hard for Hinata to wrap his head around sometimes. The ocean was literally his whole career and he'd practically lived in it his whole life.

"They're not silly at all! You don't have to do something as crazy as cliff diving to impress me. I'm very impressed with your work."

"Oh it's much worse when we have to set our clocks back every fall/winter time. Like damn, are we really saving daylight? More like getting seasonal depression faster." Gracie said jokingly. Although she did have to up her vitamin dosage each fall when she noticed how around six o'clock she feels like she's ready to crash out. But with her creativity it was like insomnia becomes more like a toxic ex returning to her life to finish designs that swirl around in her head.

"Aw so thoughtful of you, but if I start drooling or snoring, you better not take a picture of me to haunt me with." She wagged her finger at him laughing. She walked up to the barista and placed herself a hazelnut latte with oat milk and an extra shot of expresso to keep her going. Especially with how tired she felt, she needed that extra caffeine kick.

"Look at it this way, at least you can say you don't work a boring desk job. Add some excitement in your life."

"Yeah? I wish I was like that. I can sleep anywhere, any time and still go for some more."

The nature of his job made that a necessity, especially when he worked twenty-four hour shifts. Sleep was something to be grabbed when he could like a soda rather than something structured.

"If we manage to get one of the comfy seats and you doze off, I'll let you get a refreshing twenty in," He teases, stepping up to order once the barista had called for next. He orders himself a strong black coffee in the hopes it would set him up for the rest of the day, paying for both his and whatever Grace wanted as he side-stepped to wait for his name to be called when his drink was prepared.

"Nothing too wild, I've been working a ton. I'm hoping things will calm down with summer done but I also think I might have picked the wrong career if I ever want calm."

"Well I don't want to jinx it, actually I'm still on the fence on allowing myself to actually enjoy it instead of fighting against my emotions." Gracie admitted with a shrug of her shoulders as she toyed with her phone in her hands before slipping it back into her back pocket. "Thank you, it's been a long work in progress but I'm getting somewhere finally."

Luciana laughs. "You have a fair point but you know that's not what I was asking," she gives the woman a look before she steps up to the counter. She orders a regular pepperoni and cheese pizza before glancing over at her. She arches a brow when Grace admits to having a person. "Oh, come on," she muses in a playful tone. "You should give me some more details than that." She chuckles. After Grace orders the pizza she wants, Luciana pays the cashier and moves to the pick up window. She shifts closer to the other as she starts to go through her phone. She smiles as she leans in to look at the screen. "Wow, Grace. Those look amazing."

"Oh perfect then," Gracie said laughing. "Then we should figure out a design and go from there. I'm even willing to let the artist go crazy with the design idea as long as there is flowers involved." She was excited to see what Maia would create and much less getting a new ink to show off on her skin.

"Of course," Maia confirmed, a grin crawling onto her rosy lips. Anything to get the creative juices going, at the moment if she wanted to tattoo anyone she'd have to tattoo herself and that meant she was at risk of running out of space. "I'll just show it off on my instagram, and tell everyone I'm still a badass tattoo artist." @gracecromwell

"Well you see...I'm very last minute so I would say I would end up decorating a day before Christmas Eve or perhaps two days before." Gracie admitted with a shy smile. "But I swear I listen to Christmas music after halloween, just to get myself into the holiday spirit and all."

"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.

She looked over his costume and smiled, it was very ballsy and all she could assume was how hot it was under that mask and costume. She was thankful she chose something that was decent to the weather, minus the wings that kept whacking people or dragging her backward. "I think it's very...you, humor wise anyways." Gracie said nonchalantly. "But I think a lot of others would think what a shame to hide such a handsome face." She teased, pushing some of the wig hair away from her face. @pytndyer

Peyton needed a quick breather from his mascot head. He took it off briefly before putting it back on. It helped with the lack of sweat. He jumped a bit when he heard his name. He turned to see Grace coming up to him. He nodded, “Yeah, it’s me.” And even though she couldn’t see his actual face, he was smiling. “What do you think? I personally think this suits me.” He said nonchalantly. His eyes were glued to her costume once he took a good look at it. “I like the fairy vibe. It’s very you.” And he felt guilty for even thinking that she looked good for a second. @gracecromwell

"Okay first of all, what the hell are you supposed to be and second of all, why does it look good on you?" Gracie asked as she adjusted the straps of her wings on her shoulders. She didn't mind being Bloom from Winx club, it was between that or supporting a one piece as a playboy bunny which she didn't want to do. "I think you've out done me."

Gracie knew it was a mistake to choose a costume that required a wig and wings, she didn't mind the little get up but the wig was killing her with adjusting every once and awhile. So she was grabbing another drink when she recognize someone as she paused mid adjustment of her wig that she laughed. "Peyton?" She called out as she dropped her arms back to her sides and walking closer, "is that you?"

[gracecromwell]

Gracie knew she should've went with a much more simpler costume, one that didn't require her wings to get whacked into at least. She adjusted the wig on her head and glanced over at the familiar face. "Hey! I love your costume." She said smiling, "Yeah I'm still waiting to see two costumes a like but so far I've been too busy making sure my wings wouldn't whack someone in the face."

Lalita had to admit while she liked her costume it was wanting to bunch up a bit. The body paint she kind of loved however. She definitely needed to grab a bother drink and as she was heading to the bar she saw Grace and smiled. I was wondering where you were. I’m surprised there’s not more people all doing the same costume this year “

Grace Cromwell as Bloom from Winx Club

[gracecromwell]

What is your muse's favorite food dish? Are they able to make it themselves?

"I have to choose? I love food, I mean I dated a chef at one point. But if I have to list it down...perhaps shrimp fettucine, I was taught how to make it by my ex which I'm grateful for because now I can just make it anytime I want...although I still burn my shrimp slightly by accident."

[gracecromwell]

What would be your muse's last words be if they died right now?

"I wish it would be something epic or cool, but knowing me, I would say something like 'just my luck' or some sarcastic remark as I'm taking my dying breath."
