Sebi: I know you'd be lying if you did. Sebi: En contraire. This is a two person show, I wanna see your wild plans. Sebi: Carmen. She broke and entire dish set because she didn't tape a box properly. Sebi: Legally it would be Sebastian Dandekar.

— @xlalitax

Lalita: it’s the saying. I’m not telling you I plan on suffering for my art. Lalita: well you’re kind of doing me the biggest favor anyone could ever do. I think it’s only fair for you to get full control over what we do. Lalita: damn which of your sisters got hit with the nickname clumsy? And please tell me that was the worst of the names Lalita: yeah, she’s definitely the mom you want if you got to choose one Lalita: well Seb Dandekar doesn’t actually sound bad but I don’t think I have access to that much alcohol. @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: I'm midly insulted that is the low standard you have for me. Sebi: I should be questioning whether this drama is Wagyu level. You could be playing me for a fool.

— @lorelailewis

Lorelai: If you want the tea and trust when I say it's shaping up to be the kind we remember for years like sad divorced guy then I need some assurance that you aren't going to sting us with the all night diner Lorelai: Not that I have anything against it. Best fries in town, but I deserve $100 wagyu beef for this kind of tea @sebitorres

"You abso-lutely were" Sebi smirks back towards the stranger, giving him a knowing look with an undeniable undertone of a smile that informing the other that Sebi indeed shared the sam sentiments about tonights showing. "There's something about grown adults whose slam poetry sounds like it's straight outta Doctor Seuss..."

open for: anyone! / @aurorabaystarter

where: anywhere where there would be a live performance of something or something being overheard: karaoke, slam poetry, live music, bystanders to an argument, town hall meeting getting rowdy, get weird w/it

“I’m not laughing,” Alfie assures the pair of eyes that met his as he turned his head to cover that he was doing exactly that, trying to get himself together and find a modicum of good behavior after being tickled by what he had just heard being recited aloud, “It is a bit funny though.”

[sebitorres]

"That's nice, that he wants to know what's going on in your life." Sebi smiles gently at the stranger, knowing very well he had a similar reaction to his mothers calls in his early twenties. "A lot of people out there would kill to have at least one parent that cares that much."

who: open / @aurorabaystarter where: the jade bowl

"Yes, dad, I'm keeping up with my schoolwork," she said into the phone. She couldn't exactly be annoyed at her dad for wanting to keep up with her life. Although he always called at the most inconvenient times. Imogen would feel bad if she held up the line and she was next to order. "Hey, can I call you back? I'm about to order food." She hung up the phone, ordered, and stepped to the side. "I swear, he never calls at a good time."

[sebitorres]

Sebi: I'm so glad you asked. Sebi: Concider me the Anthony Bourdain of social media feeds.

— @solaadisa

Sola: oh shit my b Sola: but wait this could be fun Sola: tell me stranger Sola: would you give me ur pure and unfiltered thoughts about my insta feed @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

"Have you experienced hook ups before? Did they make you feel good or nah?" It tended to be pretty clear for most people if it did or not, even if it was followed with denial to use the activity to cover up pain. The mention of a deceased partner prompts Seb's brows to hike, "I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, especially since it seems you've been through a decent amount of pain lately. But if you're still questioning jumping into the casual dating pool, maybe you're not up for it just yet? That's fine."

— @billieconway

"That's the hard question right now -- like, what is gonna make me happy?" Billie poses, realizing it might have been to existensial for casual conversation but it wasn't enough to stop her.

"I'm fine being alone right now, really. But I also know I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. And I know my late husband wouldn't want that either. So what do I do?"

@sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: I never said anything about suffering. Sebi: Are you sure you want to give me that power, I don't think you quite understand what could mean for you. Sebi: When I was young I couldn't remember their names so I gave them nicknames based on their personality. It's quite when you're brother is three and calling you clumsy, not when he's thirty five. Sebi: See, María Isabel is always right. Sebi: Get me drunk enough I just might change to it.

— @xlalitax

Lalita: what’s that saying. You gotta suffer to make art? It’s kind of a trash saying isn’t it? But it kind of makes sense Lalita: I can’t even argue with that one. You have full reign to do whatever amount of over the top you want to do. Honestly I’m not gonna say no to anything Lalita: It’s kind of overwhelming trying to remember all of their names. And I’m crap with names Lalita: so are you saying romance and commitment are two completely separate entities? Lalita: They do. My sisters kids are hyphenated kids. Absolute fucking nightmares. Lalita: Dandekar? You want it instead? @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: I'm more of an underpromise then over deliver kinda man. Makes people happy to keep $$$ me Sebi: Hey! That's not how this works. Give me the info first, then I can dangle the nice restaurant over everyones heads.

— @lorelailewis

Lorelai: Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed Lorelai: Now onto more important things Lorelai: Where are you taking us all out to dinner? 👀 @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

🍗 Were they a picky eater? Is there anything they refused to eat?

"I don't like Blueberries. It's the... weird mushy consistency! I'll eat pretty much anything, except them."

[sebitorres]

"I'll happily share with anyone who likes the stuff." Sebi replies, he doesn't try to force the activity on people, rather put the offer out. "Busy time right now?"

— @sorenxdavenport

"It's unfortunate." Soren chuckled softly, finding it a bit humorous if the bakery did sell something like that.

"Of course not, those are my favorites."

When the fun kind of brownies were mentioned again, Soren rose his brows. "Don't temp me. I honestly feel like I could use one. Or two."

"You do have a bias about marriage." Sebi knew not to come to Bora expecting a positive reaction in regards to this force. It was hard to get a laudative mood out of his regardless. "I care for her enough to give her this security." Relationships were rarely black and white, the grey area that sat between him and Lalita was what most would call complicated. Sebi didn't see it that way, no desire for labels or conventional liaisons that fit into comfy boxes set by society. "We have no plans to accept the delusion of conventional marriage expectations and commitment, if that's what you're worried about."

— @borawinters

"Because it is the sane thing to say in response to what you're telling me."

Sebi, on the other hand, was speaking casual sentences about a course of action Bo found certifiable. He does his best not to judge -- his best often most people's worst -- his expression failing him somewhat.

"Forceful, I see," He doesn't completely but he also doesn't have to, he wasn't the one planning to say 'I do' because of it, "And this friend, she's just a friend?"

@sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: You do have something to show for it. And you'll have even more in the future. Sebi: Fine, i'll give her that. Though I'd argue I deserve a trashy Vegas wedding more than most. I truly was born for that level of Gaud. Sebi: You're telling me. Sebi: Hey! I never said anything about romance, that can be completely healthy and fun. I'm talking about commitment. Sebi: My mother always beleived double-barrel named kids turn out to be dicks anyway. Keep yours, it's a nice name.

— @xlalitax

Lalita: Might as well put in the work to have something to show for it in the long run too. The radio station is helpful at least. It gives me access to all the equipment there. Lalita: then she definitely deserves it. Almost more then we deserve a cliche Vegas adventure Lalita:you’ve got a lot of sisters Lalita: Look at you sounding all deep and romantic. Where has this Sebi been hiding? Lalita: It does always seem weird to give up your identity before to another person right? Why don’t more people just hyphenate their names? @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

"Could say the same about you." Sebi, with his hands in his pockets flicks a smile over towards the stranger cloaked by the darkness. He'd decided to talk a different route for the way home, to enjoy the cool air. "I'm a bouncer, my day ends early the next morning."

— @harlantrapp

Open starter: @aurorabaystarter Location: anywhere

Maybe going for a run at one in the morning wasn't a great idea, but after returning from a visit with his family, Harlan's sleep schedule was completely off. He found himself nodding off at four pm, yet here he was, wide awake at one. Something about the streets was just more peaceful at this time of night. That is until he spots someone else and he can feel his heart drop to his feet. "Fuckin' hell.. Scared the shit out of me." He ran his hands over his face, "just endin' your night?"

[sebitorres]

Sebi: You're a woman of little faith in people. Sebi: Smart.

— @lorelailewis

Lorelai: That may be so Lorelai: But it's still in my best interest to keep receipts @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: I don't think you're complacent. You're working, doing what you need to do with what you have. Sebi: So do I. I dont think that woman has had a holiday in years. Sebi: If she doesn't agree to come I'll speak to my sisters. Sebi: Pain comes with love, in all it's forms. To love someone you must accept the pain it could bring to lose them. Sebi: You don't have to take my name. I think that's weird, even if it was a "real" marriage.

— @xlalitax

Lalita: Gotta keep telling myself that. I don’t want to end up complacent just because I can’t move forward yet. Lalita: You know what, I want that for her. Seems like a good way for her to relax Lalita: Fair point. Not sure where I stand on the idea of love. Seems nice in theory but I’ve been burnt before Lalita: then it’s a date @sebitorres

[sebitorres]

"Fortunately they have very good sound insulation so I didn't have to hear a peep." Sebi mimics putting his hands together, as if praying to god in thanks. "I would actually, thanks."

— @maviscampbell

"'Private events in their private abodes,'" Mavis echoed slowly. "So, sex parties? You stood by a door and had to listen to rich people fucking?"

She turned toward the little mini fridge running on a portable generator and reached in for a beer. "You want one?"

@sebitorres

[sebitorres]

Sebi: Lorelai I am many things, but I am not a man that goes back on his word. Sebi: Especially if my word provides me gossip on other peoples lives.

— @lorelailewis

Lorelai: On it Lorelai: Screenshotting this so you can't back out @sebitorres
