“Oh, good.” Much to Toby’s relief, the man is alright and manages to get back up and dust himself off. Before Toby is able to go back to his nap, he can’t help but notice the tackle box and fishing pole in the other man’s hands. “Say, are you about to go fishing?” While naps were always nice, going fishing sounded pretty good right about then. He needed to catch something for dinner anyways, and the sun wasn’t beating down as hard as it was before. “Mind if I tag along?”

The other man asks him if he’s about to go fishing, and he just can’t help himself. After all, if you ask a stupid question... “... Nah, I’m just holding this for a friend.” you’ll get a stupid answer.

He feels bad for it almost immediately, though, because there really isn’t a reason to be shitty in the first place. “Yeah, heading down the coast for a bit. You can come along if you want, I don’t mind the company.”

Every once in a blue moon, Joe missed the fishing back on Leuda. It wasn’t necessarily the fact that there was any special fish back home, just that he missed tossing a reel out to the waters by the beach. It was certainly different from Arcadia, since the island was just… kinda bobbing along.

Joe had his fishing pole and tackle box tucked under his arm, sights set on the shoreline. Of course he probably should’ve been mindful of where his feet were going, because he had tripped over a small rock and fell flat on his face.

Nothing new there. A voice called from not far away, asking if he was alright. He flashed a thumbs up then clamoring to his feet. “Yeah, I’m alright,” Joe said after dusting himself off, looking around for whoever called out.

Wake Up Call | Open

Naps were one of Toby’s favorite things in the world. He needed them often and he got them often, whenever and wherever he chose. Sometimes they sneaked up on him, sometimes he got to decide. Either way, Toby enjoyed a good nap and right now, he was very thoroughly relaxed underneath one of the few trees on Leuda. It had been placed there to make the area more lively and green, but Toby used its shade to find comfort from the sun while he dozed off. 

His nap was cut rather short, though, by someone yelling out and immediately falling on their face. Toby took his hat off of his face and looked at whomever it was that fell, concern etched on his sleepy features. 

“Uh… Are you alright?” He didn’t make any move to get up, just in case the other person could handle the fall on their own. Plus, he was pretty comfortable where he was…

A Familiar (And very worried) Face - Bo and Joe

@neglected-seedling

Joe came out after his fight, relatively unharmed but his clothes soaking wet from what was basically a one-sided watergun fight, and saw a familiar face in the young blond, Bo. At least... he thought it was. Certainly looked like the little scamp that would follow him and Luke back in the day. But he just kinda... poofed.

This young man seemed to be.. out of sorts about something, but Joe still went up to him. “Sorry to bother you--you alright?”

Joe was probably the last person you would ever expect to get dressed up--simply by the fact that he would always say so. He always professed himself to be more of a casual kind of guy, not too keen on preening himself up--what you saw was what you got with him.

That being said, though, this night was special. Lily was special. So he could bear to go a couple of hours with his lucky bandana not being tied to his head, and clomping around in his dusty workboots.

After getting ready, he headed out the door with his bouquet for Lily, to the planetarium where he was to meet her. He gave her a soft smile. “You look pretty stunning, yourself.”

Under the Stars || Lily & Joe

@socialcraftsman

Do I look okay? This dress feels kind of tight. Is this too formal? Should I wear my hair up or down? After a lot of wardrobe changes, Lily settled on an outfit, minus the scarf so you could see the necklace that Joe got for her. She looked in the mirror one last time before moving on to her hair. Lily wanted to try something a bit different by braiding herself a headband. Okay, I think I’m ready.

Lily waited outside of the planetarium for her date to arrive. She closed up the restaurant early so her employees didn’t have to work while she was out on a date. After seeing a couple people come in and out of the planetarium, Lily looked down at her feet awkwardly. Maybe she was a bit excited and arrived too early. Still, she didn’t have to wait too long before her date showed up.

“You look nice,” Lily said a bit awkwardly. She had just realized this was her first date. The thought had made her feel even more nervous.

[★] —- “Oh? That’s so cool!” She giggles, feeling brave enough to reach out and pet the dog lightly on its head. “And Moccasin… that’s such a cute name~♪”

She blinks up at the man, amazed by this new piece of information. “They hunted wolves? Well, cool is definitely an understatement, then.” A replacement word wasn’t really coming to mind at the moment, but she wasn’t gonna use his exact terminology for it. 

Ah, before she forgot– “I’m Melody, by the way!” She introduces herself, extending a hand to the man. “It’s very nice to meet you and Moccasin.”

Joe pet his dog’s neck, chuckling a little bit. “He likes to chew on shoes, so that’s why he has that name.” His hound looked at him inquisitively, as if he didn’t know just what his owner was going on about. “Oh, don’t give me that. You know you do.”

He shook the girl’s hand, grinning broadly. “Nice to meet you, Melody. The name’s Joe.”

Luke followed Joe, the grin never leaving his face. It was nice to see his best friend again after so long, after all. “Dude, I got in so much trouble! You just had to tell your mom!” Luke gave a joking hit to Joe’s arm. “I had to sneak out of the house to drink after that!”

Luke goes to the kitchen and pours each of them a mug of the eggnog before returning to the living room, handing one to Joe. “Cheers, dude, to hanging out again!” 

“Hey, I didn’t get to drink after that either, so we’re even!” Joe said, with a wry grin taking over his features.

Joe waited as Luke poured the eggnog, hoping he’d be able to find the kitchen alright. He came back without fail, and Joe accepted the drink gratefully. “To hanging out again!” he exclaimed, clinking mugs with his friend.

Joe grinned when the man said he thought he recognized him. That was all that he needed, really. “Ah man, I knew it! I knew you looked familiar!”  he exclaimed happily, trying hard to not do something like... jump around to show that excitement. Didn’t want to look too eager.

“Mason, right?” Joe recalled. “Joe Carpenter. We even went to school together for a year,” he said.

Why This || Joe & Mason

socialcraftsman:

Joe still liked to visit Leuda whenever he had the funds to do so, but now that he had his own boat, it made it ten times easier.

So he decided to take Moccasin a long for the ride, and take him on a walk to the beach. On his way there however, he passed by someone vaguely familiar.

It was bothering him, not knowing who it was after several minutes so he decided the best course of action was to tap him on the shoulder and ask. Although, upon the guy turning around and gave him a slightly sour look, he was starting to regret it.

He supposed it was better than driving himself crazy, trying to figure out who it was. Even though he might not see him again.

“Uhh… excuse me? Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering something,” Joe asked. “Did you ever live in the Inner Apartments? Like… maybe 10 years ago?”

“Maybe,” Mason answered bluntly. He had lived there with his mothers, back when they were still getting their travelling business up and running. They had never wanted to get an actual house, since they both preferred travel over staying somewhere forever, so the apartments were where he grew up. At least, until they finally decided to leave when he finished high school. Then, he moved to the worse fucking dump of an apartment. Just because he didn’t feel like travelling all the time. Maybe he should have gone with his mothers.

“Why?” he asked, “Wait…I think I recognize you.” It was vague, annoying enough to itch at the back of his head.

Luke stepped in after giving himself a thorough shaking off, resembling a dog coming in from the rain. He took off his boots at the door, not wanting to track mud or snow through his friend’s home. With a laugh, Luke pulled Joe into a firm hug. 

“Man it’s been way too fuckin’ long! It’s good to see ya, dude! How’ve you been? What’s been goin’ on? I feel like we have so much to catch up on!” He held up the carton in his hand. “But first, let’s get drinking, dude. I brought some spiced eggnog. Remember when my dad used to chase us outta the kitchen whenever we tried to take some? Good times, man.”

“Oh man, no kidding!” Joe said with a laugh as Luke shot a couple questions in rapid succession, as well as saying that they should get to drinking. “Catching up should be way better when we’re having a hard time getting the words in the right way.”

Joe beckoned for Luke to follow him. “How can I forget? Especially after the earful that my mom gave him when I told her that he let us have it at your house,” Joe said. There was a slight flash of sadness when he mentioned his mother, but he laughed. “I’ve got some mugs in the kitchen.”

@socialcraftsman

She had no idea how it happened, 6 year old Candace was on her tiptoes admiring one of the dresses in a store window, Grandmother and little sister behind her, to then turn around see she was only among strangers. The little girl’s lip immediately started to quiver, she looked around frantically. “G-grandma?” She meant for it to be a yell, but as she started to sob it came out more as a soft squeak. her tears, however, did catch the attention of a few people nearby, they stared and one woman started to approach, but following behind her was a boy Candace had seen at school before, he was not nice to her at all.

Spinning around quickly, Candace took off running in the opposite direction of the boy. Dodging her way as best she could through the crowd but having a hard time seeing with tears in her eyes, the little bluenette tripped and went bumbling into a nearby child. Now on the ground, she had a moment of stunned silence. But the sniffles started up again when the boy she ran into made eye contact.

Young Joe had gone into town with his father to get groceries on the way back from his work, and he had completely lost him--as well as the sense of direction he claimed he had as a pirate-in-training (but not really).

While he was in the midst of meandering around to find his father again, Joe suddenly found himself floored when a bundle of blue braids had run into him. A loud Oof came from him as his bottom hit the ground, as well as an indignant, “Hey!”

His furrowed brows softened almost immediately when he looked at the girl, and she looked as if she was going to start crying. “Oh--no, no, don’t cry!” Joe said, climbing to his feet and waving his hands in front of him. “I didn’t mean to!”
