Phoebe was a mall person. She absolutely adored the mall. She liked the bustling crowds and the loudness, and how it was an environment where her body had to catch up to her ever whirring brain. She liked hopping from store to store to never buy anything but to gather free samples. The mall during the festive season was probably it at its best, with the lights and the tree and the mall Santa setup. It was also the best time of year for one of her favorite activities; people watching. Phoebe had gone to the food court to get an ICEE, stationed at an available bench with one other person there to do just so, seeing a man on the phone fumble through the pockets of his coat as he tried his best to weave through the crowds at speed. A bit of paper flew out and he kept going, completely unaware. “Sir!” Phoebe called, jumping up to grab it before it got stood on. “Sir you dropped this!” But it was no use, he was eaten by the mob of mall people. Phoebe glanced at it, slightly relieved it wasn’t anything important, just a coupon for two pretzels for the price of one. “Would it be bad if I used this? It expires tomorrow.” Phoebe asked aloud, nodding at her benchmate. “You could have the extra pretzel, be my accomplice in this crime?”

open starter location: firefly arcade

The noise of the arcade games around him, paired with the steady sound of music playing through ceiling speakers, was disorienting in the most familiar way. It almost felt like the club, except the music wasn't loud enough to vibrate through his body the way it did when he was working. He'd been eyeing the different machines for a while, attempting to make up his mind on which one to try first. Unfortunately, Eun Jae was the type of person who couldn't stand being bad at something, so he felt the need to pick very, very carefully.

Biting his lip in slight frustration, he turned to the person closest to him, eyes wide and pleading. "Which one of these is the easiest to learn, you think? Or, like, is there a game you could teach me, maybe? They all look kinda hard..."

open starter. Location: Barracks Lounge @mentorstarterblog

Dirk absolutely loved the whole initiation process for new cadets. Between the buzz cut and the morning workout, he felt more than ready for all of the festivities of the Cadet Bowl. The army man grinned as he plopped down on a couch in the barracks lounge. He was just wearing a pair of ranger shorts and he looked at the man standing in the room, “Dude, you should have seen this cadet’s face when I told him I was going to pin him down and buzz his hair with the shaver I use on my balls” Dirk could barely contain his joy as he told the story, his hand rubbing his chest as he licked his lips. “Cadets are so fucking easy to scare” he folded his arms behind his head.

open starter @cardinalstart location: outskirts of Cardinal Hill

One of the joys of life in Cardinal Hill was the fact the quaint town was nestled amongst the picturesque forests of Washington State. That meant Astrid could venture into the surrounding woods whenever she required a much-needed escape from the constant reminder of why she was truly in town. Without the burning desire to intently study each customer to Lilla Bakstugan or each passerby she saw on the street, the brunette felt like she could finally breathe.

There was a welcomed peace in the solitude, in the way the fallen leaves crunching underfoot echoed through the barren trees with each step she took. For the first time in a long time, the quiet came without fear, without the existential dread of a hunter's voyage. Cardinal Hill felt different, felt more like home than anywhere else the Swede's journey had taken her. And that home felt closer to the one she sought. Deep within the bowels of her soul, Astrid knew their reunion was drawing near.

Finding a relatively flat rock to act as a makeshift chair, the brunette took a seat and let out a heavy sigh, shoulders slouching as she finally allowed her body to relax into the moment. The sharp snapping of a twig could be heard in the near distance; but she paid no mind to the fact it meant another might be intruding on her privacy. Instead, her gaze stayed glued to a patch of lichen on the trunk of a dying alder.

"There are other rocks if you need to sit... I promise I will not bite if you will not."

It was a regular occurrence at this point. To be standing and minding his own business when someone fell into another and a drink spilled onto him. It was just the way of the world at this point. No longer did Tobias react in a big way, but instead merely sighed and began to pick up napkins at one of the dispensers. This time there was a partner in the spilling and he immediately offered them the napkins after grabbing them, "Does this also happen to you every time you're here or is it a curse only upon my house?"

Who: Open (7/7) capped When: Early Evening Where: Outside Cobblestone Cafe

It'd been a week (a week and a half now?) since being back in town —time showing its cruelty when a week back in his parent's house felt like only an hour and an eternity depending on the day. It'd been a while since he'd felt like this, a truly blank canvas. Supposed to be a recoup of sorts but where a week that would normally be a vacation was permanent. By day three when cracking open a comic was filled with a bizarre tightness in his chest, anxious an understatement. Today though, he left the perimeters of his parent's house in the burbs. An old crushed-up stack of flyers for music lessons with the ends frayed with his contact information he used to staple around Brooklyn in hand, Jake in the midst of stapling to a post for the hell of it, turning to the passerby, "Hey! Hey yeah, you dropped this..." Bending over to pluck the imaginary object to hand over one of his tabs, "You call within a week, first three sessions are free. And I'll tack on a holiday discount for the month of December."

Location: Oasis Status: Open @aurorabaystarter

Nelson never wanted to celebrate his birthday on his own because he just felt like that would have been a boring way to spend the day. It was why he’d messaged a few people and told them if they had the time he was going drinking and dancing for his birthday and they were more than welcome to drink on his dime. So when he saw the familiar face he smiled softly. “ what was it? the free drinks or the chance to see my shitty dancing ?”

[xpatrickxrrossx]

He was at the pumpkin patch taking pictures of families checking out pumpkins when he saw a face he recognized" Well,well ,well, fancy meeting you here" He said and chuckled"I didn't take you for a pumpkin carving kind of person to be honest"

Maybe it was due to it being October that he was already eager to find a costume but here he was looking through every rack possible to find something that stuck out to him. Sure he had time but he didn't want to be one of those people who got everything last minute. He's done that too many times before to be happy with himself. Though he could make something himself if he tried though he knew his YouTube history would be filled with different things about sewing since he was clueless.

"Maybe I'm being too picky. Do you think this would look good on me or this?" He asked someone nearby, wanting a second opinion since his own mind was spiraling. He didn't want to look like a mess so he was hoping the other person would be able to help him out in some way.

Sometimes Gwendolyn wondered if it were best to just pack up and disappear without a care in the world. However, the idea of being on the run seemed too good to be true as she was certain that the Wades wouldn't dare to let that happen. It was evident that the current events around Wilmington were draining the life out of her as she struggled to comprehend how one place can be filled with so much complexities in its people and history. It was a mystery she was still struggling to solve.

Taking a long drag of her cigarette, the Chief of Police stood at a corner outside the precinct in hopes of having a quiet break from all the chatter and requests. However, she heard someone approaching and immediately blew out the smoke, before crushing the stick underneath her foot and making her way back inside. "Any questions, concerns or complaints, please file it at the front desk. If you're the media, I'm not taking any interviews at this time."

Open to all

"Bread....olives....milk..." Meera ran her hand across the items in her shopping basket repeating the names before sighing deeply. Having just finished a lunch time shift and with some reading for college that she had had all summer to do but had failed miserably to even start her head was all over the place. "Ugh, what else was it?"

"I can't decide if I wish I could have a go at that or if the idea completely terrifies me," Leo remarked with a chuckle as he turned to his neighbor as the latest pair of knights had reached the end of their jousting performance.

open : to anyone!

“are you thirsty? wanna grab a drink?” kennedy half yells into the other’s ear, yet her voice is barely audible over the music pumping around them. fingers flutter down the other's arm, ready to grab hold of their wrist to lead them out of the dance floor or loosely interlace her digits with theirs to twirl them around. depends on their answer!

who: open ( @aurorabaystarter ) where: somewhere busy

When the kid had first called out 'Miss Beauford', Katrina hadn't been all that surprised. The kids she taught often recognized her in public - it wasn't a huge town after all. But then she'd seen the worry in his features, quickly discovering that he was alone, having been separated from his mother in the busy tourist-filled crowd. He was quickly getting hysterical, Kat having a hard time keeping him calm while also trying to look for someone who could help. Instead, Kat decided to flag down a passer-by, hoping they weren't too busy. Excuse me, hi." All the while, Katrina kept a firm hold of the kid's hand, making sure he didn't get lost again. "Do you have a moment?"

WHERE: the pour house. WHO: alec & OPEN. [ @bluestarters ]

Alec didn't love these early evening shifts when the sunlight still filtered in and a tumbleweed was more likely to roll by than a group of people ready to lavish him in tips, but here he was. Alone. He didn't even care so much about the money— he was bored. Alec flourished in social settings and could get downright destructive when left to his own devices. So after the third time he ran the beat up rag over the counter top and still no one came through those doors, his eyes began to rove over the shabby little dive for something to get into.

And then, sweet deliverance. The door swung open on a creaky hinge and Alec spread his arms like a model on The Price is Right. "Ay, welcome. Grab a seat before they're all gone." Every empty stool seemed to wait in anticipation, echoing his desire for company. He leaned against the counter, braced by his elbows, and smiled. "What can I get ya?"
