โ€œi thought we could start with someone who actually knows what theyโ€™re doing,โ€ thalia sighs, sliding back in her seat. she certainly doesnโ€™t. she was reluctant to dive right back into what had caused the groupโ€™s rift in the first place, but knowing adam wouldnโ€™t stop, with or without their support, was motivation enough. maybe, if they can just figure out what happened to his dad without chasing some mythical treasure at the same time, he can find closure. but she wouldnโ€™t be out here, seeking out some mysterious historian, if henri hadnโ€™t approached her first. 
โ€œmy mom knows him. kind of.โ€ she unbuckles her seat belt and cranks the car door open, leaping out of the vehicle because her legs donโ€™t quite reach the ground. โ€œhey, you didnโ€™t tell don, right?โ€ thalia scrunches her nose. โ€œi just think it might be easier to do this if itโ€™s on the down low. if adam finds outโ€ฆ i just donโ€™t want him to get his hopes up again.โ€ 
Tumblr media
the look on adamโ€™s face when theyโ€™d broke the news about dropping the treasure hunt has haunted him in the days since. maybe thatโ€™s why โ€” whenever donโ€™s out of the house โ€” he has been looking a little more into the history of the town to try to find out just why adamโ€™s dad would even direct them to a crazy ladyโ€™s house.or trying to. snippets of articles published online by claudio morales, whose name he had seen scribbled onto the back of letters, documenting the townโ€™s history behind a paywall. so, naturally he seeks out lia. their moral compass (and someone who heโ€™s sure could take on a journalist/historian/whatever if need be).
โ€œshe does?โ€ he quirks a brow, mouth pulling down at the corners to demonstrate that heโ€™s impressed by alexaโ€™s connections. โ€œno, i have not told don,โ€ he scoffs, stepping out of the car after her. henri had considered it, though. at least four times. two of those just so happened to be in the car on the way over. โ€œso relax, i donโ€™t know how far the reaches of outer banks bystander gossip extends, but it totally wonโ€™t be on my part that he finds out. donโ€™t get me wrong, though! i donโ€™t break my unspoken cousin code of conduct for just anything. mainly just... because i canโ€™t stand seeing adam looking hurt, to be honest.โ€ just like a sad, grouchy, adam-shaped puppy. a frown tugs at his lips at the thought as he looks up at the building that houses the local newspaper, adjusting the cap on his head as if he needs to make a better impression on the guy when they head inside. โ€œyโ€™know, i donโ€™t know much about historians. other than like... that quote that says theyโ€™re gossips who tease the dead. which, heh, newspaper... kinda fitting, huh?โ€

itโ€™s a common occurrence during the summer to find henri sprawled out on the floor, gnawing away at his nails as he rifles through polaroids. today, however, heโ€™s devoid of a smile or a hum as he does so. looking down at the one or two shots of crackling embers heโ€™d got from the bonfire before things headed drastically south the night before. thereโ€™s one photo that stands out to him, however. one he clutches closely to his chest as he stands up and makes his way languidly to donโ€™s room. all before he raps his knuckles on the door three times to the tune of sheโ€™ll be coming round the mountain โ€” just as he always had when they were kids. โ€œ... hey,โ€ he says softly when the door opens. โ€œ... you feeling okay? i know last night was, uh, a lot.โ€   ( @kingscrcwnโ€‹ )

โ€œ i was one of the lucky ones. โ€œ
โ€œ this is fucking paradise, man. canโ€™t you smell it? โ€œ

โ€œ if i were you, iโ€™d watch out for this one. sheโ€™ll take no prisoners. โ€œ
โ€œ i feel like anything i say will be used against me, so it would be better to remain silent. โ€œ
โ€œ strange as it may seem to you, sometimes waiters get a seat at the table. โ€œ
โ€œ of all the people there, you had to mess with my brother. โ€œ
โ€œ and some people say the rich donโ€™t suffer. โ€œ
โ€œ weโ€™re only trying to be friendly. โ€œ
โ€œ sheโ€™s a fan of lost causes. โ€œ
โ€œ let us have him for awhile. we want to get to know him. or are you afraid of us? โ€œ

โ€œ iโ€™m not going to give you my notes. and you shouldnโ€™t be here. โ€œ
โ€œ wait, do you think iโ€™m here to study? no, no, no.  iโ€™m here to meet the people who rule the roost. โ€œ
โ€œ by the way, are you on instagram? i can give you my username, if you want.โ€œ
โ€œ why do i get the feeling youโ€™re lying to me? โ€œ
โ€œ is it that hard to be a bit more enthusiastic? huh? โ€œ
โ€œ all right, then. fuck you all. โ€œ
โ€œ enjoy the view! this too, come on. wouldnโ€™t you like to have this ass! โ€œ
โ€œ iโ€™m not your bro. i just saved your ass. โ€œ
โ€œ weโ€™ve been seen! shit! โ€œ
โ€œ i just donโ€™t want anyone at school to know. โ€œ
โ€œ i donโ€™t even have any friends there. or do i? โ€œ
โ€œ why do you all mess with us so much? โ€œ
โ€œ sorry, no real names. โ€œ
โ€œ weโ€™ll talk soon. you owe me one. โ€œ
โ€œ i almost didnโ€™t live to tell it. i got a huge cut on my head. โ€œ
โ€œ look at him! sleeping like a baby. โ€œ
โ€œ i know an epic way to end the night. โ€œ
โ€œ what are you doing? no, no! donโ€™t even think about it! โ€œ
โ€œ you just got out of jail! this is the dumbest shit you could do! โ€œ
โ€œ help us, and then you can go. โ€œ

โ€œ you and your silly obsession with doing it in public places. โ€œ
โ€œ sorry about yesterday. we thought we were alone. โ€œ
โ€œ look, i know we started off on the wrong foot. iโ€™d like to fix that. โ€œ
โ€œ no, come on. she deserves much better. youโ€™re fucking kidding me! โ€œ
โ€œ if i were you, iโ€™d watch out for the girls here. โ€œ
โ€œ give us a chance. weโ€™re not all like my brother. โ€œ
โ€œ donโ€™t make fun of the newbie, okay? โ€œ
โ€œ you may be used to all of this luxury and stuff, but iโ€™m not. โ€œ
โ€œ what do you think? that i live like the rest of them? โ€œ
โ€œ say yes. i want to go home. โ€œ
โ€œ youโ€™re so much fun when you drink. โ€œ
โ€œ wow, you rich people know how to throw a party! โ€œ
โ€œ are you colorblind? or did you not turn on the light when you got dressed? โ€œ
โ€œ handsome guys look good in anything. โ€œ
โ€œ i donโ€™t know. do you want me to stay? if you say yes, iโ€™ll stay forever. โ€œ
โ€œ can you explain why you brought the influencer? โ€œ
โ€œ look. i forgive you, because youโ€™re really drunk. โ€œ
โ€œ iโ€™d never betray you like this! โ€œ
โ€œ fucking champagne! whereโ€™s the beer? โ€œ
โ€œ the balls on you, kid, showing up here! donโ€™t you know we have security cameras? โ€
โ€œ only alcohol can make this tolerable. here. โ€œ
โ€œ i came here in peace, i swear. โ€œ
โ€œ iโ€™m not like him. and to be honest, i think i donโ€™t even like him. โ€œ
โ€œ heโ€™s very good at solving problems by throwing money at them. โ€œ
โ€œ i propose a game. why donโ€™t you seduce her? come on, you woo her, she falls for you, everybody finds outโ€ฆ thatโ€™s it! we cut her down to size, and she canโ€™t act all superior. โ€œ
โ€œ iโ€™ll let you do whatever you want with me. โ€œ
โ€œ i already do whatever i want with you. โ€œ
โ€œ we have fifteen minutes before they realize iโ€™m not there. are you taking your clothes off? โ€œ
โ€œ that comes off too. but slowly, so i can see you. โ€œ
โ€œ those people are poison. you know it. why are you with them every time i turn around? โ€œ
โ€œ i refuse to let you get hurt again! โ€œ
โ€œ then when? tell me, when is the right time? why canโ€™t we talk about it? โ€œ
โ€œ every time you avoid the subject, i feel like a piece of shit. โ€œ
โ€œ do you regret tonight? โ€œ
โ€œ i love you. i love you more than ever. โ€œ
โ€œ and who are you? unbelievable, the riffraff we have here tonight! โ€œ
โ€œ should i take that as a compliment, or punch you? โ€œ
โ€œ iโ€™m not insulting you, just stating the facts. โ€œ
โ€œ shove your money up your asses! โ€œ
โ€œ how dare you come to this house to insult me and my family!? โ€œ
โ€œ why donโ€™t you get lost and stop making a fool of yourself? go! โ€œ
โ€œ heโ€™s a good person. me, not so much. โ€œ
โ€œ stay a little longer. let me show you we are worth the trouble. โ€œ
โ€œ teach me how to look at you. i promise iโ€™ll be a fast learner. โ€œ
โ€œ this one needs to be taken down a peg or two. โ€œ
โ€œ are you gonna say nothing all night? after i stood up for you? โ€œ
โ€œ you are clueless. do you know what iโ€™ve done for you? โ€œ
โ€œ i had it under control, and you had to make a mess. now i have to clean it up. โ€œ
โ€œ i was protecting you, asshole! like i have my entire fucking life. โ€œ
โ€œ heโ€™s sleeping. he was up all night hugging the toilet. โ€œ
โ€œ you dared to shout what a lot us think. โ€œ

it was optimistic to think that heโ€™d stumble into alina in the same way he had a few weeks prior. but henriโ€™s never been one to think realistically. instead, he figures heโ€™ll try his usually non-existent luck in heading to the boutique sheโ€™d mentioned when theyโ€™d met after the hurricane. itโ€™s mostly with purpose. small, beaten up, โ€˜get well soonโ€™ card stuffed in his back pocket that heโ€™s learnt to make do with after coming to the realisation that they donโ€™t sell โ€˜sorry you fell into an abandoned roomโ€™ gift cards at any gift store in a mile radius (and he should know, heโ€™s tried a fair few). โ€œyโ€™know once,โ€ he calls almost immediately after stepping foot through the door and noticing her there. โ€œwhen i was nine, i broke my leg after i purposely jumped out of a tree because i thought itโ€™d be, like, my kinda lacklustre superhero origin story or whatever.โ€ he drawls, eyes glancing over some of the items in the store as he makes his way over. โ€œspoiler alert: it was not. now, iโ€™m not saying what you experienced is the same, but i imagine the fall damage is similar... so... in other words, you have my deepest sympathies.โ€ he doesnโ€™t really realise heโ€™s rambling until he notices heโ€™s already crossed the shop, sucking in a breath as he ends his sentence. gentle smile replacing words as he takes the crumpled green envelope out of his pocket at long last and hands it out for her to take. โ€œya thinking of signing it? the cast, i mean.โ€

quoting jordin sparks earns a laugh from alina that rings clear and bright in the somewhat empty beach. their chatter is rivaled only by a toddler who squeals when the water rushes to her ankles; alina thinks itโ€™ll annoy her in twenty minutes. she turns back to henri, nodding in agreement. โ€œexactly.โ€ though itโ€™s sort of out of her hands because greatness is really only a breathโ€™s worth of effort with the connections that alina has. still, her father would have a different opinion. alina smiles again looking out towards the beach. โ€œyouโ€™re right about that, i guess, you certainly donโ€™t have this in paris. there are also no hurricanes though. and theyโ€™ve got french men and the champs-รฉlysรฉes so perhaps theyโ€™ve still got north carolina beat.โ€ alina sighs. โ€œoh, youโ€™d love it there henriโ€ฆ but at least we have the beach.โ€ she chuckles again.
Tumblr media
โ€œmm, all valid points,โ€ he nods in agreement, and for once he doesnโ€™t have much of a comeback. โ€œalthough you cannot tell me there hasnโ€™t been at least one moment in your life where youโ€™ve been in that like,โ€ he tries to conjure the words momentarily, hands raising up in a brief roll as if they can be brought about from thin air. โ€œtipsy sorta trance where everything is great and youโ€™re waltzing along, havinโ€™ the best time, and the board walk? looks better than the champs-รฉlysรฉes ever could.โ€ and for a moment, the grin on his face is a pure beam at the mere thought. โ€œcould just be beach side effects though.โ€ pulling himself away from his thoughts, henri finally takes in the sight of the bag slung over her shoulder. โ€œwhatcha doing today anyway? got any big post-hurricane plans?โ€

what holiday is their favorite? which is their least favorite? 
st. patrickโ€™s day is henriโ€™s favourite ! to anyone who asks, itโ€™s because itโ€™s a day for glorified drinking, of course - all done while saying โ€œwell, i could be irish ! i donโ€™t know who my dad is - get off my back !โ€ the real reason why itโ€™s henriโ€™s favourite is a bit more sentimental than that. filled with fond memories of his mum holding him up to see the chicago river being dyed green during a parade when he was a kid and taking pictures of his friendsโ€™ smiling faces as a teen. 
his least favourite holiday is christmas. itโ€™s a bit of a cold affair in their household as itโ€™s mostly his stepdadโ€™s thing and it comes as a themed concept. they had an art installation in their living room with a silver tree made out of metal one year... suffice to say it haunts him. 
what time do they normally go to bed? how many hours of sleep do they usually need to function in the morning?
haha morning is not something henriโ€™s familiar with. spotting him emerging from his room before eleven on any given day is a rare sight, mainly because heโ€™s horrible at keeping a consistent bedtime. thereโ€™s just so many documentaries about cryptids and only so much time to view them in, yโ€™know. 
what is their preferred weather? what would be a perfect weather day?
that one clip about april 25th is henriโ€™s idea of perfect weather in a nutshell. not too hot, not too cold. he likes cloudy days the most because you have to work that little bit harder to find the beauty in them. 
what were they a part of in high school/college, if they went? were they a part of any clubs, did they play any sports? What clique would they have been considered a part of? 
hahaha SO i like to say that henri accidentally became a theatre kid in high school simply because he only auditioned for his first musical after he heard a classmate of his say she โ€˜was totally into guys who singโ€™. so he kinda stumbled into it but that was his whole thing for a good three years !  idk if he would have been part of any specific clique, though...? if anything, henri was a bit of a social butterfly ! 
dabbled with a ton of different things in college, though... and committed to none <3 
what do they prefer to do in the summertime? do they like going to the beach, do they prefer camping, staying in the city? do they like to stay indoors and away from the heat?
henri prefers to be outdoors as much as possible during the summer. whether itโ€™s skateboarding or just messing around with his camera, he relishes every part of being out in the sunshine ( particularly when heโ€™s in the obx ! ). nothing inspires his photography more than the summer and he tries to organise a camping trip once a year just to get away and look at the stars... but heโ€™s also got terrible organisation skills so !

thereโ€™s something innocent about the crowd that summer brings along with it. the outer banks can get boring quickly โ€” everyone is painfully predictable. still, summer here is like nothing else, familiarity and strangeness all at once. โ€œgood!โ€ she exclaims, nodding, and itโ€™s difficult to determine how genuine sheโ€™s being. but alina does like him. perhaps itโ€™s because she sees some sort of harmless quality in him, she doesnโ€™t quite know. when sheโ€™s next to him, she looks out to where his camera had been pointed at moments before. thereโ€™s nothing remarkable in the distance, just a sort of sad looking sandcastle. this, too, has been a point of fascination for alina; how henri somehow finds something beautiful in everything, something worth immortalizing with a photograph.
โ€œoh, you know,โ€ she shrugs coyly, a grin pulling at her lips. โ€œgetting there. one step at a time or whatever they say.โ€ it couldnโ€™t be farther from the truth. last summer she had been in paris, brushing shoulders with all sorts of important people. now, she was back in north carolina. a flash of uneasiness stirs in her gut. โ€œfigured iโ€™d tackle the outer banks this summer.โ€
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he lets his camera hang limply around his neck as she speaks, briefly distracted from bigger goals of sandcastle photo taking. not unwelcomely, though! because he likes talking to alina. even more so now that they have so much to catch up on. 
for a moment, a pang of envy hits him. like alina had found all the secrets heโ€™d believed paris to hold when heโ€™d wanted to apply to art school there. but then, just as quick as it appears, it dissipates. replaced quickly by a wide smile.  โ€œof course, of course,โ€ henri nods his head in full agreement. one step at a time has become a motto of his since dropping out of college, after all. ( in and out of lazing on the couch and sporadic shifts at whichever local business in champaign better suited to the nineties would hire him ). โ€œitโ€™s like my good friend, jordin, once said: โ€˜thereโ€™s no need to rush [...] itโ€™s gonna happenโ€™ and, more importantly, โ€˜itโ€™s supposed to happenโ€™. and youโ€™re gonna do great things.โ€ and his mum had once told him too much american idol would rot his brain... pfft. โ€œplus... at least youโ€™ve got the beach here, right? paris has none of that.โ€

Tumblr media
a laugh escaped his lips, though it was half committed. more of an exhale without sound. he shook his head, and laid back on his bed. a mistake. it was as sticky as the rest of the room was. โ€œwe shoulda bought a kiddie pool. you think that would fit in the bathroom?โ€ he already knew it wouldnโ€™t. the bathroom was exactly 36 square feet, just big enough for the tub, shower, and toilet. still, it was nice to dream. he imagined being outside when this was all over, watching the surfers act recklessly, seeing henri in passing going down the street on his skateboard, with whatever friends heโ€™d made that summer. he was so fuckinโ€™ outgoing, a trait he could never relate to, no matter how hard he tried. 
the clock had just passed five pm, which meant that it was time for him to go to the cabinet above his sink that lovingly housed all of their alcoholic beverages. โ€œwhat are we feeling tonight? margs? straight tequila? vodka and lemonade?โ€ 
Tumblr media
thereโ€™s little heโ€™s looking forward to more than dragging theo into his summer nonsense. but for now heโ€™s indulging his cousinโ€™s suggestion - gleefully so - with a mixture between a groan and a guffaw exiting his mouth as he nods his head in agreement. โ€œno yeah,โ€ he thinks aloud, โ€œif you had installed one in the shower... kinda-semi vertically maybe...? could have worked?โ€ henri says, putting the gameboy aside entirely to tangle his fingers together in front of him in a half-hearted stretch. โ€œor we shoulda just bought a water pistol... seriously. it would have been open season. you could hit me a gajillion times right now โ€” smack bam in my face ! and i wouldnโ€™t even be mad.โ€ 
and for a moment, he remains lethargic. until he realises just what time it is and where theo is headed โ€” then heโ€™s quick to act. shuffling up on the mattress to cross his legs in front of him just so he can start a drumroll on his calves before theo rattles off the menu of the day. โ€œmmm... well because iโ€™m ever so classy i say we leave the straight tequila โ€˜til, like, sevenish? so margs for now...?โ€

it isnโ€™t like alina to assist with any post-hurricane community service; waiting until the beaches opened up again is more like her style. still, the little effort she did put in has inflated in her head because alina swears that the beaches have opened up slightly earlier this time. she toes her way through the sand, her sandals hanging from one hand, and a beach tote over the other shoulder. a perfect day, even if she still has to search a little harder to find a perfect spot on the beach.
sheโ€™s still looking around when she recognizes a familiar head of curly, brown hair, a camera held to his eyes โ€” just like the day theyโ€™d met. alina pushes her cherry red sunglasses to sit atop her head before yelling, โ€œhenri!โ€ she waves her fingers, walking closer. โ€œhow ya been? itโ€™s been too long!โ€ / @ofhenri

much like a bear awaiting the coming of spring, it takes a while for henri to emerge from his post-stevie hibernation. namely because if thereโ€™s one thing on earth he despises, itโ€™s manual labour. and despite the many times he has wished he were an outer banks boy, a natural pogue true and true, when henri emerges finally to see the light of day, heโ€™s in tourist mode. with his nikon strapped around his neck and his โ€˜obx beach bumโ€™ baseball cap adorning his head, heโ€™s sure heโ€™s doing a pretty good job of it too. and like a true tourist, his first destination is the beach. 
thereโ€™s always a certain appeal in capturing the seasonโ€™s first post-hurricane sandcastle. heโ€™s mid-shot, about to capture the flag waving in the breeze just right, when a familiar voice causes him to pause. โ€œalina!โ€ he greets in return with a mixture of surprise and delight. โ€œiโ€™ve been... yeah, iโ€™ve been good,โ€ he nods with a smile. even if the word good seems foreign now, considering heโ€™s been struggling to make ends meet for the past few months. a little embarrassed at the fact that, in comparison to her, college dropout didnโ€™t have the same ring to it as globetrotter. โ€œbut... more importantly, comment รงa va pour toi?โ€ henriโ€™s smile only grows, cocking his head to one side. โ€œhowโ€™s slowly taking over the world going for you?โ€

who: @ofhenriโ€‹ when: june 10th  where: theoโ€™s apartment 
Tumblr media
home was a concept that theo never thought he would know or understand. his entire life, he dreaded being at home. dreaded the thought of hearing his dad walk through the door. but now, in his own place, surrounded by his own things, he found himself incredibly thankful. a feeling theo never truly lets himself feel. but he just knew, being locked away for a week with his father would only lead to pain. and lots of it. there was another layer of gratitude in being locked up with henri. theyโ€™d stocked up on everything theyโ€™d needed before the hurricane hit (after theo did some looking into just how powerful and how long hurricane stevie was going to be.) 
despite the peacefulness he felt in having a place where he could stay during all of this, though not a very glamorous one, but his, he was getting restless. no a/c, windows having to be kept closed, and battery powered fans all around their room. it was something he should be used to by now, but he never would be. his thoughts were on the other side of the island. how they all probably have their own generators or some shit. he couldnโ€™t even text any of his friends to see if they were alright. โ€œman, iโ€™m about ready to run out of here.โ€
Tumblr media
visiting theo is always the highlight of his summer โ€” hurricanes and all. not just an escape from present realities, but for the time it allows henri with his cousin. the rain still falls steadily outside the window, even if itโ€™s not as chaotic as it had been in the first day or so of stevieโ€™s appearance. their living situation is reminiscent of lincoln park zoo. when he had spent too much time staring in at the monkeys on a school trip wondering just what it was like living a life in captivity. except the monkeys didnโ€™t have enough spirits available at hand to last three stevies over ( or so he hopes, he really does ). 
henri turns himself right side up on the air mattress, putting down a gameboy heโ€™d been engaged in a very serious game of tetris on, with his legs formerly splayed at an awkward angle above him. visibly letting theo know that he has gained his undivided attention. theyโ€™re both going a bit stir crazy at this point, the stickiness of the room doing nothing to remedy it. and for a moment a sympathetic glance is cast in theoโ€™s direction before his mouth opens. โ€œoh theo, you do offend me,โ€ henri teases, โ€œam i that unbearable that youโ€™d rather fling yourself into the arms of a hurricane rather than spend time with me?โ€ for a moment he dramatically pouts,  โ€œi mean you could borrow my skateboard, i guess. ya know. as a flotation device.โ€
