"Well, everyone has their own tastes, I guess." He liked his coffee strong, but he knew that wasn't for everyone. Sometimes it didn't agree with him, but the caffeine was what he wanted anyway. "On 5th street? I'll have to check that out. Thank you for that. If you got any other recommendations, I'll take 'em."

@ericaxmanning

"Been there." Erica was pretty bad at doing things like grocery shopping, and so often ran out of coffee to make coffee at home. In that case, it was usually a drive-through instead. "I rather like 'bitter hot water'." Her head tilted, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "But the coffee truck on 5th Street is actually pretty good. Nowhere to sit though." Which suited her just fine, retreating to her truck. @maxcarson

Willow leaned against the pool stick as she tried to decide the right way to go about the game. So far, her luck had been terrible, and there really was no relief in sight as she blinked at the cue ball. "This never looked this hard on tv." She just smirked as she leaned to make an attempt to sink the three ball. Instead she watched as her stick barely grazed the ball, and it slowly rolled off in the opposite direction. "Okay, this has got to be a joke now. Is there a trick to this or something?"

Armed with a tennis racket in hand and a ball, Ravi let the fuzzy green sphere roll along the strings as he sought out an appropriate space to practice. Like most temptations, wanting to actually hit the ball got the better of him and his swing serve accidentally launched the ball further than he had anticipated.

"Hey! Duck!"

"I can't decide if I want to propel myself down the fun slide or yearn on the ferris wheel first," Mack says aloud, hands on his hips as he weighed up both options in his mind and found equal appeal, "Where you at with it?"

"Do you think you would get sad in the same way or would your mega mind be more than happy to lord over this town like a dictator?"

If Sal had more of a drive for power in him, he would have been a better son but he had never longed for increasing market value for shareholders or running a boardroom like a militant leader the way his father did.

Avengers fights were a different story.

"It might be overly confident of me, but I think I could. I've seen all of those movies so many times, once I can identify what act I'm in, I'd know how to play it."

Rather unceremoniously, he lifts his costume quad blaster and taps muzzle gently against her blue forehead once.

"How did you get your head so... Mega?"

Darcy looked at the man when he asked the question, her skin painted blue and her dark curly hair hidden inside a bald cap. She pondered the question for a moment before answering, "I think I'd miss my hair, but I also think that I would have a super fun time. Like, who needs hair when you can take over the city. I'd take over Aurora Bay, for sure. Although, Megamind did get sad when he did that. You know what? I feel like it'd still be real fun. What about you? Could you survive going into space to fight Avenger level threats?"

brittany's going to be severely fucking disappointed in her if she knew that this is where mikayla decided to go at the end of her date— and yet, mikayla can't find it in herself to care as she stands in front of @ladyintree's door, a box of food from the restaurant in her hand. she never actually confirmed she'd be coming over, but tai made it pretty clear the day before that she wanted her to, so mikayla just hopes she's not intruding, that tai actually meant it. when tai answers the door, mikayla doesn't let herself smile, not wanting to seem too eager to see her, biting down on the inside of her cheek to stop herself. “ hi. ”

"Be honest," Ziggy all but demands, his carving knife in hand as he stands beside his freshly carved pumpkin to present it, "Does this look like complete garbage or is it kind of giving?"

[the-graves-family]

Ace is sure that what he's feeling goes beyond fear and panic. He's only felt so scared and alone once before, and it's the single worst memory he has. The night that his life turned upside-down.

He doesn't know where he is, and only has the vaguest idea of how he got here. It's dark, and cold, and he's terrified. He'd bid his family a good night, gone to his chambers and then—

Nothing.

His head aches and feels sore, which gives him a hint as to what happened, but he's still so confused. Who has him? And why? For ransom? He hopes his family is safe.

Ace hugs himself and closes his eyes so he doesn't have to see the dark glow of magic out of the corner of his eye. He just has to wait. Father and Adrian will come save him.

“– No, I’m just saying I could have been as rich as Jeff Bozos by now,” Keo explains, speaking to the person at his left, his right arm swinging some as he walks with no real aim through the city at night. He likes the night air, it feels nice, his van could get stuffy at times. Close to claustrophobic on a night where his worries managed to penetrate the weed smoke he almost always had around him like some sort of shield. 

“I’ve had maybe six ideas that would have landed me on Forbes. Problem is, I was high every time I thought of them and I never write shit down. It’s a tragedy, I think.”

The ride down to the docks was more familiar to him than the back of his own hand, the turns from Ocean Crest remained the same unlike his extremity where healing scratches that once held glass shards and stitched split knuckles still stung every time he used the hand clutch on his bike.

He parked up outside the Tello house in a space that he had once claimed as his own, the walk to where Javier’s boat was docked feeling like an endless stretch. It had been his idea to meet, his conversation with his sister fresh on his mind and still he can’t find it in himself to trust that it wouldn’t go sideways like most things he tried to right.

It’s too late to turn back as he nears the boat and the blonde, not needing to check his phone to know the time. It had to be seven thirty on the dot, Edie wouldn’t have arrived a minute earlier or later.

“Hey.”
