âWell, I do prefer to hang out with people who will give me their pickles when we get sandwiches,â Kitty hummed, only half joking.  âMaybe thatâs why we get along so well. Youâre the salt, and Iâm the sweet. Somehow, we just manage to cooperate when put into the same bowl - or room, I guess, in this case.â She nodded.  âItâs always the sweet and salty thing. I usually want to put something sweet on just about any salty food.â
âi wonât give you my pickle if we get sandwiches, but i will buy you a pack of reeseâs peanut butter cups just because i want to. i feel like thatâs a fair trade?â wolf flashes kitty a smile then, broad shoulders coming up to their ears in a shrug. âit could be, but it also could be that i just genuinely enjoy being around you. though that could just be because of the sweet and salty thing, yâknow? either way, i have to express genuine gratitude for having you in my life. itâs relieving, really.â

Kitty shook her head quickly, knowing that Circe would immediately worry.  âFor the scary lawyer part of him. He said Iâd basically be his glorified assistant, but I canât keep working in retail, and he promised heâd pay me well for doing that kind of work. Honestly I was initially asking about his other business, but apparently he thinks Iâm better suited for this. Which is somehow both flattering and hurtful at the same time?â She gestured a little with the cookie.  âWell it is boosting my mood - itâs so yummy,â
she relaxes visibly, though thereâs still that hard line in her jaw that appears whenever sheâs worrying. at this point circe is convinced that itâs a permanent feature of hers, constantly feeling the tension in her jaw that would eventually turn into a headache. she knows she brings it on herself, but she canât really help it. âi guess if you have to work with that man thatâs literally named after the devil himself, working as his assistant is the lesser of two evils. i would consider it more of a compliment than anything, kit kat.â sighing, circe pushes her fingers through her hair, eyebrows still in their raised state. âi have a whole batch of those for you if youâre interested. i bake when iâm stressed.â

location: the strip mall closed starter for @ofmcthmanâ (copeland)
âI canât help but wonder what this looks like at the peak of tourist season,â Narcissa mused as the two strolled through the area.  âI mean, they probably stick to beaches and stuff, because who goes on vacation to go to the mall? But it feels sort of eerie.â Narcissa and Copeland were by no means the only two people in the mall, but compared to the bustle of Philadelphia that Narcissa had gotten used to over the last month, this place felt dead.  âCute shops though.â
copelandâs eyes are on everything as she and narcissa make their way through the strip mall. sheâs developed a new shopping habit thatâs usually confined to thrift and consignment shops, but she couldnât pass up this outing. however the more she looks, the more she realizes how true that description actually is. eerie. âi canât even imagine this place with tourists in it,â she confesses, giving her friend a quick glance. âeven if there is a beach, thereâs something about this place that just feels...off. yâknow?â

location: whatever kind of music store there is on st cordelia closed starter for @ofmcthmanâ (daphne)
When in doubt, Sabrina always found solace in the local record store. Music had been her escape on more than once occasion, and this was no exception. As she was flipping through the rows and rows of CDs without any real artist or album in mind, she noticed Daphne, and abandoned her search to go talk to the Abernathy girl.
âWhatchya lookinâ for?â If anything, a friendly conversation about music could be just what Sabrina needed to pick up her mood.  âOr are you like me and just are dying to be around something familiar?â
daphneâs gotten good at making herself look like sheâs engaged. the records in front of her are flipped through slowly, though her eyes donât focus on anything in particular. instead, sheâs just glad that sabrina invited her to spend time together in the first place; sheâs been told on more than one occasion that sheâs miserable to be around these days. then again, thatâs daphneâs own fault, and sheâs been kicking herself over it on the daily.Â
âi have no idea,â she chuckles, flashing her friend a quick look. âi donât even know if iâm really looking right now. iâve flipped through this same stack at least four different times and i still donât know whatâs in here.â

Their shoulders sag as Wren praises the now charred remains of the house, yearning for an opportunity they would never get to have.  âI donât think Iâve ever met a cat that likes to be put into a carrier,â he chuckled a little, but nodded all the same.  âYeah, sure - my stuff is already all packed since I pretty much just moved here and never got around to unpacking. Itâs the least I could do for intruding on your moment of solitude.â
she was relieved to have a distraction now, whole body turning to face them as she flashes a quick smile. âwednesday has her own opinions about every little thing,â she informs, though her tone is light. âi bought her a harness and a leash, and she still glares at me from high surfaces like sheâs a gargoyle.â as she says this, wren reaches out to hook her hand in connorâs elbow, clearly ready to lead the way. âwho knows? maybe sheâll fall in love with you and then iâll be able to finish packing.â

âItâs the most likely to be true rumor, anyway.â They quirked an eyebrow. âOh - is that his title?â Connor knew next to nothing about cryptids - sure, they knew names, vague ideas, but nothing particularly concrete.  âIf I was mothman, Iâd be bragging to everyone. Cuz he has wings, right? If I was able to fly, you would never heard the end of it from me. Though youâd definitely benefit because then I could fly you around.â
âi think thatâs his official title, yeah. i met a girl in the library the other day and she had a mothman tattoo, so i picked her brain for half an hour learning all about him, and she told me that he often brings death and tragedy wherever people spot him. therefore, harbinger of doom.â june flashes connor a teasing smile as she says this, elbow poking out to nudge him a little bit. âyou donât need more excuses to brag, do you? youâre already, like, a rockstar or whatever.â

âTrust me, Iâll be annoying you to draw me up a map by the time we get there,â While the hotel wasnât the comfiest place they could have been set up, Jovi was grateful to even have the option while flights were sorted out to not be stuck in an airport - the most liminal place of them all.  âWhile this was sort of a shit way to do it⌠Iâm grateful, in a way. I think this is going to let my sisters and I have a completely new start in a way we were never given in Centralia.â
juniperâs features stayed carefree for the time being, a smile overtaking her lips as she listened to jovi speak. if she had it her way, sheâd welcome dozens of people into her living space, but considering it was really only big enough to comfortably fit two, she knew her hospitality could only get her so far. âis that what you needed?â she asks lightly, her head cocking to the side and her eyebrows furrowing. âa new start?â

st. cordelia would prove to be drastically different than centralia . for starters people actually live here . there are authorities and whatnot . still , the island is small . and haunted . and it was just that â an island . gemma feels that wasnât properly advertised , but they digress . it would be a comment saved for the radio station .Â
in lieu of their last conversation with petri , gemma approaches with a sly smile , ready for their planned adventuring . â is that a knife in your pocket or are you just happy to see me ? â gemma knows petri mighthate if someone else were to announce themself this way , but thinks they are close enough to get away with it . â i hate being someone elseâs child . â the truth of the matter is the words took up space with gemma . the six words sit in the notes app on their phone and inside their journal . they might would bring it up later , but for now , they only ask â â howâs island life treating you ? â
the words make petri foss cringe in a way thatâs noticeable, but the smile that takes over their lips comes at the exact same time. gemma is the only person that can get away with making a joke like that, and as petri turns to give them a smile, they also roll their eyes dramatically. âunfortunately for you itâs just a knife,â they tease, fingers producing the little utility tool and flicking it open to show it off. âyou told me last time i saw you that i wasnât to be trusted with one of these, and i took that as a challenge. so far iâve only stabbed myself once, so obviously iâm an expert.â shoving the knife back in their pocket, petri takes the time to drape an arm around gemmaâs shoulders, the look on their face indicating that they were ready to cause some kind of chaos. âwe both know i was born to be here,â they inform, arm sweeping out to gesture at the saint cordelia landscape around them. âiâm well-adjusted. but what about you? howâre you holding up?â
