Everyone’s eyes glue onto you as you reach your hand into the opening of the sack and pull out…

Something long and thin- not at all made of wood but rather plastic. It nearly caught on the other items in the sack as you tried to pull it out… the shape awkward against all the clutter as a faint and muffled pulling sound managed to slip out through the mess and fabric.

It got stuck. 

You shift your hands around the orange rubber grip that finally peeked through the sack’s opening. 

“Looks like you caught something,” Dandy snickered under his breath as he tugged the sack back towards him- your attempts to pry whatever the item was nearly ripping it from his hold… you were almost tempted to backtrack and just pick something else… but you felt that might have been humiliating to whoever the trinket belonged to.

You were in too deep now anyway. 

Another tug and the thing finally freed itself- some of the other trinkets coming out along with it. A toy fishing rod, perfect for a toon sized body. A blue bandana caught on its not very sharp hook- your eye darted to Boxten… no wonder he looked off when you had glanced at him a moment ago. He wasn’t wearing his bandana. 

The fabric falls from the hook and you awkwardly pass it back to Dandy to shove back into the bag… you nearly felt bad.. Choosing to avoid making eye contact with the music box. 

The fishing rod is shifted around in your hands… you didn’t need to ask around to know who it belonged to- and you could already hear the sea of jokes you were going to be tormented with for the next seven minutes… you weren’t sure you were emotionally ready to bear it, even if you overall enjoyed the owner. Something about being in a dark confined room for nearly ten minutes being treated to a personal comedy act felt almost torturous- perhaps you were already worked up from your brief struggle of trying to free the rod… and the stares. 

Something in your jaw tightened as Finn’s clinking steps quickly approached- you didn’t even realize Dandy had made a fish related joke when you were fighting for your life with the trinket. 

“Nice one!” Finn snickered as he beamed at the flower. All things considered Finn was careful and fleeting as he took the rod away from you- handling it as if it were some sacred relic that could stuff any storm despite being made of mere plastic. Something you would find in a gift shop somewhere. 

“I’ll have to think of something reel quick before you can fish it,” 

He laughed at his own jokes- and you were trying to debate if there was really only one pun in the sentence. Your tongue tensed and shifted in the back of your throat as you held it- Glisten’s stifled groan from somewhere in the crowd wasn’t at all lost on you. 

Barely a minute passed between standing there in front of everyone and making your way to the dark storage closet connecting the main gift shop to the Christmas one- but you could already feel a headache brewing in your temples from the sheer amount of jokes he packed into the one sided conversation you were barely keeping up with. It’s like he needed it to breath.

For as oblivious as he could be when he was being mildly annoying, he at least noticed your silence. 

“What’s wrong? Catfish got your tongue?” He chuckled again at his own joke- hardly did he ever manage to deliver a line with a straight face. The tired sigh slipping through your teeth sounded almost muted against the constant glass clink of his body against itself- each step was never silent and it was a wonder he’d manage to worm himself into things without getting noticed in an instant. 

It took everything to make your voice come out softer- you weren’t… angry with him but irritation could be an ugly beast. 

“Could you… tone it down on the jokes, at least while we’re doing the game..?” 

His smile faltered for a moment and you felt awful about it. 

“I’m just not in the mood to hear it all back to back today- headache- it’s not.. You-” 

He quickly lifted his hands and tried to wave you into silence. It worked, you were already trailing off and trying to lessen the impact too late. 

“It’s alright! I get it- I guess I can get a bit carried away with it, huh?” Finn let his hands fall as you both stepped into the dark storage closet… stuffy- already an uncomfortable clamminess settled over your skin. Maybe… it was a good thing you went ahead and voiced your concerns about the fishbowl’s humor before the thick and wet air pushed you over the edge.

A small pile of dust formed as you dragged your feet across the wooden floor- leaving a track in the mess. Did the staff just… not clean up in here? Away from the eyes of Gardenview’s countless visitors or not it was… gross… and you silently ached for Tisha when it was her turn to get into the closet. You mourned for whoever she would get stuck inside with… doubtful that either of them could have much fun during their round… 

The idea of whether or not the others would have fun was pushed to the back of your mind as you tried to make yourself comfortable against the wall. Finn quickly followed suit, settling himself to your left with a sharp clink of his glass- the motion sending some of the water splashing over his rim and to the dust.. Mixing in and making a gross slush. You could argue it made it worse- but you didn’t make a comment on it in the face of his obliviousness, no doubt having long grown used to his habit to spill over on the floor. 

As the silence settled around you- save for the muffled sound of the Christmas music of the lobby outside creeping in- it grew… mildly uncomfortable.

Finn’s hands flexed and shifted at his sides and drummed against the wall- the tips of his fingers hooking against loose pieces of wallpaper and mindlessly tugging at them to expose the material underneath. Stone, you had to guess with the coldness that pushed itself into your spine. 

“You put your entire rod in the bag…?” You finally broke the silence.

It was… rather funny… looking back on it- the trinket was definitely unconventional given the scenario, and maybe… you could learn to laugh back at the memory of having to fight it out of the sack. 

“Didn’t have like… a toy fish- you know,” You pointed to your head and Finn gasped. 

“Well… I’d never use Barnaby! Why… I’m almost offended you’re even bringing up the idea!”

It was over dramatic, and the shift away from your position sent even more water splashing out onto the floor- but to be honest… it added to the humor as the grin broke across his glass face. 

Neither of you could hold back the quiet string of giggles- and it was only made worse as Finn snorted on his own breath. 

“Well don’t you have another fish toy? I know you do- I’ve seen Gigi leaving your room with a bunch of them-” 

His giggles faltered for a moment.

“She didn’t…

“She did!” 

He leaned his head back in partial annoyance… overplayed, and an even louder splash of water.

Was it tap water? Bottled? You don’t think you’ve ever seen his head empty now that you took a moment to think about it. 

“So like… do you need to keep water in your head…? What happens if it goes empty?” 

Finn paused. He looked down at the soaked floorboards below and offered a soft “oh…” 

Swiping his foot over the puddle did nothing to move it- only forcing it to mix with the blanket of dust before. The toon’s mouth tugged in a tight line against the faint squelch. 

“Nothing bad happens- it just feels weird… looks weird too, I mean have you ever seen an empty fishbowl?” 

His bowl looked about half full now- the turning of his head at least wasn’t enough to make the water fling over the edge of his head. 

He did have a point. What was the purpose of a waterless fishbowl, even if there was no marine life inside? 

“...fair point…” You mumbled before shifting around. 

“You don’t think Boxten got too offended that I put his bandana back into the bag?” 

Finn pursed his lips- or at least tried. 

You never actually noticed that his face was flat on his face. Even when he furrowed his brow in thought his glass remained in place. 

“I don’t think so- he doesn’t strike me as the type to take things like that too hard… though… I wouldn't mind him being in here- you think he has sea shanties in his head?” 

You exhaled through your nose.

…

Did toons have noses? How did you do that- did you even actually-

“I guess you’re right… but still, I kind of feel bad about it now-” 

You shifted against the wall. 

The silence settled back between the two of you- Finn didn’t offer any additional response to your worries. Maybe he just didn’t know what to say to make you feel better about the indirect rejection. It’s not like you… meant to be cruel. Would having three toons at once be allowed? 

“I’m… actually glad it's just us two in here actually-” Finn suddenly confessed. You shoot him a look from the corner of your eye- no particular emotion… but whatever it looked like to Finn sent him into a quick splutter to try to explain.

“Not that I don’t like him of course, Boxten’s nice and all but-”

Finn trailed off. 

“I like you- I think you’re a reel catch, and-” His eyes squinted against the grin stretched across his face. You didn’t call him out for the pun, instead choosing to at least hear him out. 

“I really like you-” 

His glass knuckles clinked against each other as he shifted his vest around- shuffling the puffy collar of it up against the lower curves of his bowl. 

“I know… I agreed to not using puns but I can’t help it- I think you’re the only fish in the sea for me,” 

His grin quirked up lopsided. 

And for a brief confession, it felt like he was being true. 

If you were being honest you expect Finn to drag things out- not that you wanted him to… but more so because he seemed like the type to keep things going even after the other person had given him his answer. 

Like beating a dead seahorse. 

But his smile was contagious, even the dull throb in the side of your head could be ignored long enough to give him a curl of your lips. 

His palms clacked together. 

“So I was sinking- how about you and I…” He trailed off. 

“You’re pushing it,” You teased.

You shuffled closer to Finn.

And he stayed put. 

Even with inches between the two of both of you, you could feel the surface of his bowl beginning to warm against your cheek. 

“Had a reeling I was,” He tugged at the bottom of his vest- that did nothing to pull the collar from his head… he only sunk his head into himself sheepishly as he grinned to himself like an idiot. 

“Why don’t we get some lunch tomorrow and talk more about this? How… does one sound? I don’t think Gardenview’s opening tomorrow since it’s.. No… wait.. I think it’s still open tomorrow.. Christmas Eve…” You mumbled under your breath. 

“We can do the day after,” 

A lunch date on Christms.

Why not? It’d be one of the few times the place would be closed- it’d give you both the time to really talk about things without needing to entertain visitors. It was probably the best you could do for a while- waiting for Easter Sunday didn’t sound all that appealing. 

You nod.

Barely a motion but it seemed to send Finn straight to cloud nine. 

Nothing else was given the chance to break through the air before Dandy’s knock on the other side of the door filled the air. 

Almost instantly Finn pushed himself off of the wall with enough force to send a splatter of water to the wall where he just stood- before he staggered to the door; excitement radiating off of him in near vibrations. 

“Well in that case I’m really going to brainstorm to impress you-”

You wanted to tell him he didn’t need to do that… you had the sneaking suspicion you were going to be buried in fish facts and puns. He was lucky his passion was endearing.

The door swung open- the sheer speed it snapped open under Finn’s hand and his splashing stunning the flower into silence before he can speak. 

“Christmas..! Noon! I’ll be sure to remember!” 

…You had said one, didn’t you? 

Dandy’s eyes darted between you two before Finn shifted on his feet. Despite his eagerness to leave the room he had waited for you in the holiday gift shop- and even if the walk back to the party was spent in barely suppressed silence- a contrast to the walk to the gift shop earlier- the air remained light. Unspoken joy hung between you both- mostly radiating off of Finn as he visibly marked down ideas of how Christmas day should go. 

He was lucky he was so endearing.

[wreckedhoney]

a while ago on the discord i brought up the "which desk at the station is forrest's desk" question when the answer should probably have been obvious. he's been at the job for approx. one week, so it's the desk with all the unpacked boxes. it just didnt occur to me because thats Frankly A Lot Of Boxes and my first thought was this is where all the storage and junk are piled on, but no. it's all stuff forrest brought (/hc). he's a heavy packer. he spite packed all the stuff he didn't want his old job to keep even if he doesnt need or even like them all that much but now that he's blacklisted then no one in the entirety of chicago can have them

Since I'm going swimming right now I have to wonder what the TIG characters would be like at the pool. Their SO! wants to play and goof off and want (insert charecter) to join in? I would like to see Max, Cash and Terry Silver if possible.

I can certainly give it a try 😊 thank you for the ask, I hope you enjoy 💚

Max Parrish:

You and Max had not long finished your morning shift, when you get a message from your sister. She texted you saying "Hey babes! Would you be able to house sit while me and Mike are away? Your more than welcome to bring Max with you" You texted her that you would, and it was safe to say that Max was excited to go. Your sister had married someone who was very wealthy and Max loved visiting, especially when he was able to use the games room, the home cinema and the outside pool. You and Max got all your things ready to stay over for a week, and when you arrived, both you and Max were very happy to stay in such luxury. You were happy in your flat, but it did make a nice change to be in a lavishly spacious house. You and Max found one of the many spare bedrooms, and as you started to unpack, Max couldn't contain his excitement, jumping up and down like an excited little boy at a fair ground. "Come on babes! Don't worry about unpacking now, let's go to the games room! There's a mini arcade in there that doesn't need money!" "You can go ahead of you like Max, I'm going to go for a relax in the pool" "Alright then, I'll see you soon babes! This place is awesome!" He shouts before quickly giving you a kiss and running out of the room and back down the stairs, it didn't suprise you one bit that he'd behave like this, he loved that games room. You however had just changed into your bikini and grab a towel, heading downstairs to the outside pool. After a stressful day at work, this was just what you wanted, you grab a floating lylo out of the storage box beside the pool, and blow it up until it was just right. You popped it into the pool and got yourself nice and comfortable on it, basking in the sun for a while. You had some peace and quite for nearly a good hour, that was until you suddenly hear the sound of bare footsteps running towards you. When you look up, you see Max running towards the pool, and before you know it, he jumps into the pool and splashes you, giggling like a little boy. "(Screams!) Max!" "Ha ha ha! I got you babes!" He looks so proud of himself, but your not having any of it. You give him an angry look and climb off your lylo, and swimming right up to him, splashing him with water. It ended up being a full blown water fight, splashing eachother and you climbing on his back trying to dunk him under the water. The sounds of splashing and laughter was in the air. "You are unbelievable Parrish!" "Ahhh you love me really" "Your so annoying! Buuuut you are right" "Ha! I knew it"

Cash:

Cash had many diffrent skills, one of them was building new things for peoples homes. He wanted to try and make a really stylish pool for your back garden, it was a project he had been wanting to work on for a long time. He booked some time off work and spent most of his time at home, building this pool in the garden, and a few weeks later, he had finaly finished. When you came home after work, Cash brought you outside to show you what he had done, and you were so impressed with how well he had done. The pool was so stylish and not only that, it was very modern and was actually see through instead of a normal pool. It looked amazing and you were really excited to get in, you didnt even have to ask him, he just saw the excited look in your eyes and said "Your bikini is on the end of the bed" You gave him a kiss before running upstairs and getting changed into your bikini, by the time you had come back downstairs, Cash was just finishing tidying up his tools. "Are you coming in gorgeous?" "Just give me 10 minutes and I'll be with you" You give him a warm smile as he heads inside, and you put your towel down on a nearby garden chair, you were suprised to feel how warm the water was when you stepped inside. Once you completely got in, you swam one stretch from one end of the pool to the other, it was delightful. A few minutes later, Cash walked into the garden in just a pair or swimming shorts, his body was so toned and attractive. "Come on in babe! The water's so warm" He climbs in and swims right up to you, taking you into his arms before giving you a sweet kiss. "I love holding you agaisnt me, it's even better when your wet. Your so much softer....it gives a man ideas..." "Cash, your insatiable" "Can you blame me? It's all I can think about when your in this little bikini" "Oh this little thing? Well...if it's such a distraction....maybe I should remove it?..." "Now that, I want to see...."

KK3: Terry Silver

Terry was so rich that at the click of his fingers, he could hire a private jet to take him anywhere in the world, which is exactly what he did when he fell in love with you. You had been with him for at least a year now, and he loved to spoil you with many treats and gifts, it was one of the many ways he showed his love. After a very stressful week at work, Terry surprised you with a trip to Italy. You were so happy he did this for you and you were more than excited, Terry drove you both to the airport and you both got onto his private jet. Since you were still tired from work, you did accidentally end up falling asleep on the way there, Terry just thought this was adorable and be moved your chair you were on into a lying down position, then he placed his jacket over you so you didn't get cold. He loved taking care of you. He woke you up gently a long time later as you had now arrived in Italy. A private car took you and Terry to his private villa and you both unpacked your things in the gorgeous bedroom. You were still feeling a little tired when you looked out onto the balcony, but Terry came and cuddled you from behind. "Why don't you get dressed into your favourite bikini? You can just relax by the pool in the sun and take all the time you need to feel more normal" "I like that idea babe, are you coming too?" "I just have to call John first, I need to check how he's doing with the dojo. I won't be to long baby girl" "Alright" He gives you a kiss on your neck before grabbing his phone and calls John. You get dressed, grab your towel and head on down to the pool, it looked absolutely lovely. Terry really did buy anything he wanted, and this pool was so posh and clearly expensive, and if he was happy buying it, there was nothing wrong with that. You put your towel over the sunbed and lie down to get nice and comfy, and for a small time you were comfortable. But it seemed that sleeping on a chair in a plane had left its mark, and there was what felt like a tight pulled muscle in your shoulder and neck. "Hey baby girl, oh what's the matter?" Terry asks as he walks over to you wearing nothing but a pair of black swimming shorts and holding a bottle of oil in his hand. "I think I slept wrong on the flight over hear, my neck and shoulder are hurting, I dont know if it's a pulled muscle or a trapped nerve?" "Aww my poor baby, well it's a good thing I've brought out some massage oil. Why don't you lie down and I'll take care of that pain your feeling" You smile warmly before you like down on your front, allowing Terry to sit beside you and put some oil onto his hands, rubbing it into his fingers too. His strong hands start to massage around your neck and upper shoulders, he applied just the right amount of pressure that's not painful but he's also being tender too. He manages to make any pain you were feeling, disappear with just a few movements from his strong fingertips, they felt like magic. Once he finished making your neck and shoulder feel better, he put some more oil on your back and started to give you a full body massage, his hands were truly magic and he made you feel so relaxed. "Hows that baby girl? Do you feel better?" "I feel sooo much better, thank you babe" "Your welcome...say...would you like to join me in the pool?" "I'd love too" He gives you his hand and you both walk into the warm water of the pool. It was delightful as you submerge yourself in the water, it also felt a little slippery from the oil Terry rubbed into your skin. That didn't stop Terry pulling you into his arms and holding you agaisnt his chest, quickly locking his lips with yours. "I love to see you like this baby girl, you look so beautiful like this" "Your gorgeous too Terry, I still cant believe you took me all the way to Italy just because I was having a bad week at work" "Its my pleasure to treat you, anything my baby girl wants, she gets" "And what if your baby girl wants you to kiss her like there's no tomorow?" "Then your wish is my command..."

Stay-at-home journal 2/5/21

Yesterday:

Worked, got frustrated, became demoralized

Started writing next fix chapter out of spite

Ate a baked potato

Today:

Work

Prob more writing

Build bookshelf if it arrives

Maybe ill say fuck it and watch a comfort movie (either legally blond or zodiac)

Free space:

Ive rly gotta real in how frustrated i am abt work. I have SO MUCH to do today and monday, maybe even over the weekend idk. And im ending up doing part of everyone else's job bc if i dont its gonna suck even worse for me. Anyway, i woke up early bc i was annoyed and stressed, and ill feel better once i cross some of this bullshit off my list.

Fic is going well. I was worried itd peter out and become directionless. But it actually gained a bit more meat? Its def a different tone than the prev chapters before i took a break, but idk its prob okay. I might go back and do a pass on these newer chaps to fluff them up. I just want to get to the epilogue tho.

The sun has been setting later, and im like thank god. I feel like there's more time and i have more energy after work. Im excited for my bookshelf to arrive. Finally getting the last of my books off the floor has been a long time coming. There's not much else we didnt unpack and put away after the move. Maybe some stuff we typically keep in storage, but not much. Even with the insane amt of shit we bought in the past yr and a half (suddenly having a house that needs furnishing will do that), we still dont actually own that much stuff. But thats good. I kind of dont want a lot of random things unless theyre useful or especially meaningful.

[pbandjesse]

And Im back! I hope you could go back and read the posts from saturday and sunday that I posted this morning. Im not feeling so great right now but I think Im just a little dehydrated. Im glad that I didnt feel sick basically at all this weekend, but it is disheartening that I am not feeling well now after such a good weekend. 

Last night we did crafts and hung out and got ready for bed. I slept in my winter coat and was very cozy. I slept alright but I had a weird dream that me and James had to leave that state because I committed insurance fraud. Very weird dream. We slept a little later today. James didnt need to make us a fire so he didnt wake me up until a little after 8. I thought it was later but we werent in a rush. I got cleaned up and dressed and eventually wandered to the bathrooms. 

We had breakfast on the camp stove. Im glad we brought that even if we didnt use it much. We made breakfast tacos and cleaned up. Me and Noelle worked on packing in bursts while the boys cooked. I spent a couple minutes in the hammock as a final moment of resting. I will miss my hammocks. 

And the packing went really well. And I am pleased about how me and James worked together to make things simpler for our next camp trip. Which may be in december? Were hoping for at least one more this year. 

But we werent done yet. Once we were packed up, we did a walk around to make sure there was no scraps, and stopped at the dumpsters to get rid of our trash. We waved at our camp hosts and then we were off to town. 

We got donuts and drinks. And I got my wish and we found a beach to go to. It actually was back towards camp, but a little further down the peninsula. And it was lovely. A sandy little beach. We brought the beach blanket mom got for me, and we had our snacks and drinks. Spent like an hour walking the beach collecting rocks and driftwood. Skipping stones. Taking pictures. It was lovely. But I was sad because I knew we were going to be heading home soon. 

And once we all used the bathroom and gave hugs it was time to leave. 

Its really not that far from home. It was a nice ride but I started feeling nauseous. James offered to stop for lunch but I was worried I would feel worse. But we ended up getting taco bell and it helped actually. 

We got home and I was so excited to see sweetP. We brought up some stuff and I was like. Kitty!!! And he seemed a little happy to see me but also like. Confused. Especially when we had to go back down to the car to get more of our stuff. We ran into Mr Will and he was working on the basement apartments. So I finally got to see two of the three down there. The one is mostly unfinished and he uses it as storage, The one he didnt have the key on him so I didnt see that one, but the finished apartment was so nice! Like if I was looking for a place that would be a nice one! It was cute! But the ceiling was bowing and he was going to replace it. It was neat to see it. 

Me and James unpacked things. I didnt feel great but I tried to keep it together. We put stuff away. And I started putting things to the side for the beach next week. I didnt feel great. But I thought a bath would help. James left to go for a bike ride. And I kept unpacking. I went to hand wash my mask and I accidently broke the sink stopper? It got stuck. I had to go and find a tool to fix it but I did! I was very proud. I took a bath and it helped. And then JAmes was home and we ordered pizza. I texted with Jess and laid in bed. We had pizza and churros. And then I took a nap. 

I think I am just dehydrated but I hope I can just shake whatever this feeling is off tomorrow. Well see. Now though Im going to go get some water and find James. I hope you all have a nice night. I hope tomorrow is great!

Stepping out of the car y/n inhaled deeply, taking in the place which she would soon call home. After so much effort she had finally been accepted onto her dream college course; criminal law.

She closed the car door and moved to get her bag and box full of random junk from the trunk. She looked down at the bit of paper which had the address of her new home that she was renting scribbled on it checking she was at the right place for the fifth time before slowly making her way towards the house.

Pushing her hair behind her ear she knocked on the door and waited for someone to let her in. as she stood their for what seemed like forever she failed to notice the dark shadow that came up behind her.

“y/n?” a deep male voice called out causing y/n to whip around dropping her box on the floor.

“Oh crap” she exclaimed crouching down to start gathering her various items. The man mimicked her movements.

“Sorry. I didnt mean to scare you” he chuckled as he picked up a small teddy bear before standing and handing it back to her. y/n stood as well and took the teddy from his hand finally looking at him properly. He was roughly her age and had dark blonde hair, he was handsome. “Umm are you…. Lucas?” she asked looking down at the paper that had the landlords name on as well. “No” he laughed “im Tom. Lucas’s grandson. He couldnt make it today so he sent me to let you in” he extended his hand for her to shake which she accepted before he pulled out a set of keys and moved to unlock the door for her allowing her to step inside. “So what brings you to this small town?” he asked, closing the door behind them both. Setting her stuff onto the table near the door she turned to him. “School. Im going to the college down the road to study criminal law” she leaned against the table as she talked. “Nice. i go there too.” he pointed to the hoodie he was wearing displaying the college logo. “ nice” she laughed “maybe you can show me round there too”. Tom smiled and looked down. “Sure.” there was a short silence at the two stared at each other. Tom broke the silence. “ok let me show you around and then i can get out of your hair” he walked off and lead her to the various rooms.

Following behind him Tom took y/n into the first room. The walls were grey and there was only basic items laid around the room; tv, sofa, bookcase, coffee table, etc. “so this is the living room. You’re obviously free the use anything as you see fit. Move stuff around and add your personal touch just try not to break anything” he laughed before pointing to another room “the kitchen is just over there and the laundry room is just beyond that. Same rules apply” he moved round into the kitchen “ the garden is obviously out here. Pantry over there. Pots, pans and plates are in the cupboards. And if you follow me upstairs” he moved up the stairs “your bedroom is to the left, bathroom to the right and spare room or storage room at the end of the hall.” he stopped and turned around. “Thats about all of the main things i can think off so i will leave you to explore and any questions feel free to call me” he smiled and handed her a piece of paper and the keys.”will do. Thanks Tom” y/n blushed and accepted the items staring at them for a second. “anytime “ he said before making his way down the stairs and towards the door. “I’ll see you at school next week” he said opening the door “ see you next week” y/n repeated smiling. She watched as Tom walked down the pathway before closing the door.

Leaning against the door y/n looked around quickly before pushing herself up and towards the box she abandoned earlier. Going through the items and picking up a picture frame of her and her parents. She smiled as she scanned the picture before placing it on the table. Her phone buzzed. Samantha flashed across the screen and she smiled, y/n had only been gone a few hours and her best friend was already calling her. “Y/NNN i miss you already please come back” samantha faked cried. “Oh shut up. Im only a 2 hour drive away. But i miss you too” y/n laughed. “So tell me whats happened so far? Whats your plan for the day? ” samatha asked. y/n walked into the front room and sat on the window ledge looking outside. “Well i was let inside by the landlords grandson an..” y/n was interupted “ohhhhh was he cutteeeeee” she dragged out the last word. “Yes he was actually. Umm i was about the unpack the rest of the stuff from the car and go get some groceries before i was so rudely interupted” y/n joked “ well you can go do that in a minute but first you will not believe what just happened to me….” samanthas voice was drowned out as y/ns attention was caught by the man across the street looking out his window and into y/ns house with a pair of binoculars. He was older but Even though she couldnt make out much of his appearance she could tell he was handsome.  “y/n…...y/n…. Are you even listening to me” y/n stood up and closed the curtains slightly freaked out. “Yhh i am. Umm Sam the guy across the street was just looking into my house with some binoculars” y/n said as she slyly peeked behind the curtains to see if he was still there. He was gone. “ its a small town. He was probably just looking to see who was moving in” samantha said confidently. those words made y/n feel silly. “Yhh you’re right. Im just being dumb” y/n paused feeling a bit better “ok im going to go i got a lot of stuff to do” y/n said. samantha sighed “ okkk fine. Message me later so i know youre not dead. Bye bitch” samantha hung up and y/n just laughed putting the phone down and opened the curtains again. Her first mission was to put up some nets.

A few hours had passed and all y/n had down was put on some music, put up some nets and unpacked a few boxes of stuff before there was a knock at the door. y/n jumped a little and moved to the door and looked through the spy hole. There was a man there with a tray in his hand. y/n moved to open the door revealing the man more clearly. He was tall, had long dark hair to frame his face that had slight stubble and whisky coloured eyes. He wore a basic white shirt which fit his frame perfectly and a pair of simple jeans. This man was handsome “hi . can I help you?” y/n asked . The man looked down at her and smilled“ hi. Im John. John wick. From across the road.`` John pointed to the house where she saw the guy looking at her earlier. “ I saw you moving in earlier and noticed you  saw me and I felt like a bit of a creeper so i thought i should come and introduce myself properly” he laughed and scratched the back of his neck. “ umm yeah sure its fine. Im y/n. It's nice to meet you ``. y/n extended her hand and he shook it. “I bought over some cookies. We don’t get many new faces around her so i thought this might be a good start at making you feel welcome” he handed her the cookies and she took them placing them on the table. “Thank you. I'm sorry I would invite you in but I only just got here and i have nothing to offer you” y/n said feeling a little guilty. John laughed “don't worry about it. I better leave you to settle in, it was nice meeting you. I’ll talk to you later “ john said and walked off before y/n could even say anything in response. She closed the door and felt a little confused. Confused as to why she got a weird feeling from the man who was litrally the guy of every girls dream and the man who had litrally been the perfect neighbour. y/n shook her head ‘dont be stupid y/n he’s just being a nice neighbour’ y/n thought to herself and proceeded to go about unpacking.

……………………………………………………………

John walked back to his house with a smile on his face. His new neighbour had left a mark on him. A sense of want and need that he would not be forgetting anytime soon. John walked into his bedroom and leaned onto the windowsill looking at y/n house. He turned to pull the armchair he kept in the corner over to the window, he grabbed a glass of whisky and sat down looking out. Bringing the liquid to his lips he watched y/n's shadow through the curtains move around her house. "soon" he murmured to himself before he sipped on the drink. The second he saw y/n he knew he needed her for his collection and God knew if John Wick wanted someone for his collection then John wick would get them for his collection.

Day Off - 9/24/19

Woke up early to prep for fwb coming over only for him to cancel because work :/

I let myself mope around for about an hour before I started getting shit done.

My dog and I went for a long walk on some trails. I spent some more time unpacking and organizing my apt. I set up my laundry room, storage room (on the balcony), and my kitchen area.

I decided to have lunch at a buffet. It was pretty good but not amazing. Might go back from time to time.

I window shopped at a home decor store. Didnt buy anything...just like looking.

I made 2 trips to the grocery store...one for some produce and the other was to buy 4 packs of sparkling water. No Uber needed anymore!

While at the grocery store, I stopped off at the pharmacy and got my flu shot (free with my insurance) and transferred my prescriptions over.

I did a little meal prep - just some rice. I'll cook beans and some soup tomorrow before work.

I browsed a farmer's market before having some frozen pizza at home.

Heyhey -

Really slow day sales wise and unfortunately the gift romper that you sold yesterday came back becuase it didnt fit his wife.. I processed a refund a the customers request since it was 24 hrs and apparenly very dissapointing for them. processing this return made him very happy and explicitly said he would be back to shop again.

Tori and I unpacked and accounted for everything that Matthew sold in chicago -- the draft invoice has been updated but matthew has to cross check it to appy discounts where necessary, Once that happens we will process the invoice so the items are removed from inventory. ( As of now I set them to be reserved, so fingers crossed our inventory should be good online.... )

The XL apollow for Williams online order is under the stove == please ask what the plan is for that.

Please relay to M we need new deadlock for sundeck door!! Also that he has some mail behind jewelry case and a check in the bank bag!

The fair suitcases have apollo overstock that has to be sent to storage....

Boswell hats are coming in, as is one sunrise nutria hat.

Thanks,

Kath

What was the last thing to upset you? just kile changing. it shouldnt upset me, it’s obvious we are changing and growing apart. it just bothers me, nonetheless.

How’s the weather been today? It’s going to be a high of 76 today

What was the first tattoo you got or what would be the first tattoo you’ll get? when I was younger I wanted those white tattoos. I don’t want anything now. I’m good with au-natural skin lol. I do wonder if Kile will ever get one.

What was the last store you went into and did you buy anything? I can’t recall what store I last went to

Have you ever been late for school or work? never for school. Work I was one time because of an accident ahead of me but that was nbd.

I hard sobbed, which I thought maybeeee, maybe just maybe I was past this stage with Kile but I’m so not. He maybe?? thought or realized I was genuine about leaving, given the fact I am more and more and more withdrawn. So he asked about us talking, since that’s the big thing we could tackle instead of just harshly cutting ties. He has avoided talking about this since I found out about everything.. I think it gives him a lot of anxiety to unpack just how much hurt he’s caused. I can empathize with that. But I can’t just gloss over this huge trauma like it meant nothing. So we talked a little bit and he assumed I was judging (which is one of my absolute least favorite things he accuses me of) and then when I explained I wasnt, he said he was just being sensitive and he was sorry. for whatever reason, I just.. i feel like a balloon that’s been popped. my heart just desires him so badly but he has these barriers and now I have a million of my own barriers and I hate having barriers with him. ive worked so hard for so long to break those down and now theres more than I can count and I just.. i want to understand. I want to stop the feelings that I’m not worth the truth. Like i’ve been kept in the dark for 6+ years and now that I’m told some things, I’m still kept in the dark. I just can’t win. there’s nothing left for me and it just wrecked me. I sobbed, I couldn’t breathe. my heart hurtssssssssss. i just want him to be here and fix it and he can’t. what do you do when the one person who could stop the hurt, causes it?

Wanna One Lai Guan Lin - The 24 Hour Challenge

 featuring: lai guan lin

genre: fluff

word count: 1,964 words

summary: a 24-hour experience with a newly assigned class, and a so-called crush

suggested: nah lmao

you were a junior in your high school

so as an annual tradition, each junior class has to conduct something special for their class to bond before the start of the school year

because in sophomore year you all were in different classes

so you kind off had to get to know each other

your newly elected class representative, lee daehwi, suggested a 24 hour challenge at a chalet

and it was somehow approved by the school

it was supposedly “innovative” and a “fresh idea”

anyways

everyone in your class managed to chip in a little fee to book the chalet for a full day

luckily in your new class you knew a few people from your sophomore class

you thought about skipping cause you thought it would be weird lmao

but your friend dragged you along because she loves exploring new things

so ofc you went

class spirit!

time skip

on the day of the 24 hour challenge

everyone gathered at the booked chalet at about 3pm

& our amazing class rep split the class up into small groups of 4 to their rooms to unpack

boys & girls rooms duh

at about 4pm everyone was gathered back at the common room

and he began explaining the ground rules

like no alcohol, no illegal substances etc

and no electronics

so he had to confiscate everyone’s phone lmao

he also explained the itinerary of the full 24 hours

and he said everyone could hang around until 6pm, where people had to gather at the bbq pit for dinner

after dispersing, you were left defenseless without your precious phone

so you went to the kitchen

isnt the kitchen everyone’s safe haven lmao

and started socializing with your new classmates

you made a few friends surprisingly 

and it was fun overall

stirring your cup of coffee, you looked over at the common room decked with kinect & wii games

you spot this really enthusiastic kid that dragged his friend to switch on just dance to play

seeing the slightly taller guy dance made you smile a little

he seemed like a really reserved guy, but he looked like he was having lots of fun with his friend

it was really cute

so you never thought you would do this

but you joined them

since just dance could play up to 4 people

you decided why not

you never tried just dance

and you played a game with them

yes, without asking their names

after this extremely long and strenuous song

you got second place

with the taller guy in last

you look over to expect a defeated look

but he was still smiling like how he did 10 minutes ago

he was panting yeah

trying to regain his breath on the couch

he still looked really smol

even tho he was tall

while you let your other classmates play

you learnt the guy who got 1st place was seonho

he was generally just a really happy guy

you kindoff guessed it when he entered the class on the first day and gave everyone a sweet and a card with a happy face sticker on it

& the other guy

who was still dancing away

was named guanlin

after chatting a bit with seonho you decided to help out at the bbq pit

and you saw daehwi & your friend chatting away

they were exchanging jokes and giggles

and you just pressed your hand against the glass pane and smiled

you sHIPPED THEM sO hard

bc class rep & vice class reps are shippable

then you heard someone next to you say,

“i ship them too, they’re cute,”

you faced him, to see guanlin pressing his arm against the glass pane as well

“oh, hello, i’m y/n,” you turned to him and greeted

and he did the same

as you threw him a towel from the drawer to wipe his sweat, you asked,

“should we disrupt their moment?”

guanlin shook his head

“nah, it’s their moment,” he said, smiling as he walked away

you watched him as he walked away

and that kindoff concluded your first interaction with him

the guy with the smile that needed to be protected

time sKIP

after some good dinner

(daehwi made sure eVEryone was full)

(class rep more like mother)

he said it was time for gamES!!

you could hear seonho frm the other side of the room squeal

& it was hide and seek

you swore you haven’t played hide and seek ever since you were 8

but you were convinced that you could find a great hiding spot

you kindoff saw a spot earlier that no one wld ever suspect (!!)

so once the seeker began counting down, you loitered a bit first

cause you wanted to see everyone scatter

maybe you could find a better spot

but you ultimately went to your spot

which was this camouflaged door under the stairs that led to a small storage area

you weren’t afraid of small spaces

so why not

you opened the door to see 

well

a tall fella

sat in the corner

before you could apologize and leave, the seeker had already announced he would begin

and guanlin grabbed your wrist, pulled you in and shut the door

uhh it was kindoff a small space

so it was just you and guanlin

in the dark

uncomfortably close

you were both sitting in silence

you wanted to say something

but the seeker could hear you guys talking if you did

so you kept quiet

you could still see some of guanlin’s face due to the fading light falling into through the thin walls

he had literally no flaws

how can a guy have flawless skin?!?

without thinking you blurted out,

“sO-”

before you could even continue tho

he grabbed your wrist again

his hand shocked you lmao

so you fell forward a bit & he caught you

& you could smell his scent

like

NO

you felt like you did injustice

and you backed up a bit and whispered sorry

thanks to the light

you couldnt see the red fading on guanlin’s cheeks

oh & god damn your ears were all red too

ugh just kiss already

anyways

the seeker was left with you two

and could not find you two

so you two crawled out of the little storage room 

everyone didn’t expect the two of you to be together

in an enclosed space

so there were a bit of murmurs

daehwi exCLAIMED,

“yOU hAVe vIOLATED THe RUleS of INdeCen-”

“NO” you blurted

daehwi started laughing

and everyone did too

except you and guanlin

you literally thought they were interrogating you

but it was a joke

haha joking

you fake-laughed

you turned around to see him

just looking away

occasionally rubbing his cheeks

after the game, it was curfew, & you managed to escape to your room as quickly as possible

and dug your face into your pillow

and you just lied there for 10mins

and did not notice your friend enter

“what was the deal with guanlin? are you all a thing?” your friend asked as she sat on your bed

“uughhhhhhh”

“so i take that as a no?”

you sit up and faced her

“it was embarrassing,” you said & covered your face

“pff, it’s okay, have a good nights rest okay?” she said, patting your back

after sulking a bit more, you decided to change into your pjs

as you walked out of the room door, you noticed guanlin walking to his room wearing his freshly changed pjs

it was a matching set of fluffy pjs

it was so adorable wtf

wait

wHy were you feeling these?!?

you shook your head vigorously

like girl

you cant fall for some guy you just met

you did a quick change and went to sleep

but through hours of tossing and turning

you couldnt sleep

you just couldnt sleep in a new environment

partially another reason you didnt want to come

you would naturally grab your phone and scroll around on instagram or something

but since you didnt have it

you just laid on your bed

looking at the clock

it was almost 3am

you sighed

you had nothing to do

so you decided to go down to kitchen and make yourself some hot tea

it was really soothing to you

as you floated down the stairs craving for your tea

you noticed the kitchen light on

you peeked in

and saw guanlin standing there with his own cup of drink

before you could run away from the embarrassment previously

he called out your name

“yo y/n! you up too?”

you found his raspy voice so bEauTifuL

you slowly spun around

and reminded yourself to not remember the incident previously

and you did

“uhh, y-yeah,” you stammered, and walked past him to make a drink

he saw you, it was impossible to just walk away again

“ahaha yeah, me too, i can’t sleep in new places,”

while the hot water was pouring into your cup, you turned around

“rEally?” you said too enthusiastically

you eyes literally shone 

and he was shocked

“o-oh sorry hah, i have the same problem,” you said, collecting your drink

looking out of the window, you said

“i just never knew someone with the a similar, yknow,”

guanlin hummed in agreement

the next hour was just spent talking

about anything tbh

about how you never really saw him in freshman and sophomore year because he was that timid

about grades

until you two finished your midnight drinks

you two walked up the stairs back to your rooms together

as you turned the doorknob to your room, he ruffled your hair and passed by behind you

“goodnight, y/n”

you could hear a smile from his voice

which made your heart melt ok

you returned to your bed and kindoff reflected

you would be spending two more of your years in school with your cRush

oh god u admitted your crush

aaaaaaaaaaaa

and you fell asleep to the thought that you would be able to see that smile everyday

fEw hOURs pass

9am!! sun rise!!!

breakfast!!

ofc u weren’t up because you slept at like 4am last night lmao

so you waddled out of bed at 11am

everyone already had their breakfast and are literally out of the door heading for the beach 

you were so behind time lmao

once you saw no one around, you realized you were late

as you opened the front door, you heard stomping behind you

it was guanlin

because he slept at 4am too

“lets goooo!!” you shouted, grabbing his wrist and dragging him out of the door

jeez he didnt even put on slippers yet

once you reached the beach, you just ate the sandwich you packed for lunch and thats about it

while everyone else played

you werent much of a fan of the sun and outdoors bahah

but you saw guanlin playing in the water with the other guys

he had the smile again

the captivating one

you sigh and just look his way

for some reason

you had the urge to make him smile like that

and you really wanted to see him smile because of you

and you only

uhgh what were u thinking

time sKip

it was time to leave :(

everyone was one by one leaving the compound with their belongings

and you were one of the last ones

when you left, you saw guanlin waiting for you near the door

guanlin grinned, put down his duffel bag and opened his arms

you walked right into them, hugging him back

“see you soon, guanlin,” you said

“wait-”

you turn around

“uhm, i would love to talk with you again,” he said, handing you his phone with a new contact application

you smiled

“of course,”

[oswednesday]

i had this very vivid dream last night! i think they were teenagers, at first, and maybe the remained teenagers but there was the feeling of aging as the dream went, there was three of them a boy and two girls and they were like seniors in highschool the boy at the start was 17 and very tall, i guess For His Age, tho most people get most of their hight then and then just stop growing right? he was very tall and dressed in like a fitted but not like clingy tan teeshirt with one of those like lightweight kinda semi transparent short sleeved button ups, this changed a lot but that was his general like style aesthetic the two girls switched styles up more often whether they wanted to or not but i could tell it was still them like one was shorter and fatter and the other one was about a head taller than the other girl this second girl i remember the least but at one point she had braces and was blonde, the other girl had dark hair and kept it short usually, so the dream started like in the 50s i think? these seniors were being given like a summer internship or something similar a place that hirers right out of school and were hiring Women so it was like a pretty ritsy thing and it was like science related, super classified and like it took place in this smallish kind of storage room with concrete walls and the three only found out what they could in an hour when suddenly they were pitched forward in time to like, the 60s it was the same thing, theyd leave the school auitorium, travel with the company in like a white van or w/e (my dream cut this part out it when from auditorium to this room but it was something that was like one of the girls talked about later) and each time they only had like an hour to a full day to get more information about what was going on, each time the head of this department was a different person and it was the first day so some of the department heads were just finishing up decorating, some had brought people from previous jobs, some were completely unpacked and set up and acted like they had been there forever and were taking the place very serious (the 90s head of department was like this in particular he had very dramatic, harsh low lighting and wore round glasses and a white button up shirt and was very gaunt i remember him so well i think i could draw him) but the one after that was super loosey goosey and into retro arcetecture so the three almost werent sure what decade they were in and kind of had to like omg what year is this again lol when filling out a form and then finally they got to beyond into like the fututes next decade and there was a huge war and the shorter girl had gotten seperated from the other two like the time reset and she was by herself in like this combat area and like she was filled with the knowledge of what was going on but like i didnt know like there was stuff from my dream i didnt really know about but a voice was telling her to look away from the mirror and she would be sent home finally and this could all be over with and one of like the super solider warriors had grabbed her and took her aside and she said to the girl like, you need to look into the mirror and see what is going to happen, if you dont the light will take you away, but you have to look into the mirror and stay (like she spoke it more elloqurntly and serious than that mystic but i cant remember the exact wording now it was like that basically) and like after a whole bunch of fighting and running and almost like being snatched by the enemy army and looking for the other two in vain she like, finally comes to this mirror and its a mirror taller that her but not by much and completely round its a solid mirror but like, the air around it is causing it to ripple like glowing water almost and it shows her like sister being killed and then all the cause and effects the program had and what they caused by simply being there and prodding at this and all the possibilities bratching out like infinite timelines and she screams super loud from it and the warriors on her?side knew that the prophecy was fufilled when they heard the scream and not The Thing would happen but i woke up before anything else could happen!!

Well. took me ages longer than it should have but finally I am ready to Show Amber! One of my new Squiddos that ive been working on for a while now, she has indeed chnaged quite alot since original concepts but nonetheless im happy how it came out. :D

Amber Rose "child of the people"

Age: 19

species: ERROR: NULL.13732707438 CANNOT RETRIEVE INFORMATION.

iris colour: Cyan

ink colour: Amber/Dark tan-ish brown

height: 5'11

Gender: F

weapon: Grim blaster

Bio: Everyone has their own stories of their Pasts, some good, others tragic, most however Both. as for Amber only few know of her story. the few she told are some of the most important People she has ever known,

the Story she has to share all begins in the Slum stacked mini cities in the lower districts of Inkopolis. At the Age of 12 and due to unforeseen events Amber was forced out of her home, a Stainless chromatic coloured Complex, the sheer size and grandous design is shocking to see amidst the Slums of the city. Having no place to call home Amber wandered the streets of the shadow-lit lanes of the messy district, aside from the few Xenon glows of street signs After walking for so long Amber found a half-opened storage area, having no other options, amber crawled into the room and found a pile of old aprons and table cloths. Sprawling onto the Soft fabric Amber quickly slept till the sun arisen, Once morning had arrived the shopkeep returned to his establishment only to find a sleeping child in his Storage room, however unlike most the Shopkeep, a Kind-hearted humpback whale, let the child rest and prep her a meal. shortly there after the young girl woken up to her surprised was greeted with open arms.

after regaining her energy and given a comfy raincoat she was sent off with a small bag of treats thanks to the kind owner. Amber begun searching and exploring the Shanty mini-city she came across few who resented and despised her. However, she hadn't the faintest clue, until a group of ruffians terrorized the Young amber, eventually leaving her on her side down in a puddle, all of her treats and gifts taken from her, But just as she was to get up and Run off she heard rather Mechanical noise that seemed so uncanny to normal whirl and spurts of the average machinery in the mini-opolis. Upon further curiosity she peered and in front of her lied a simple mirror, and the guzzling of an old generator. Amber giggled at the odd noise until it Spurted and suddenly ceased to make noise. all the lights, the signs, and screens vanished to black as if leaving Amber alone, Yet. there was a faint glow, a faint glow of the few rays of light reflecting off the small girl's Unusual eyes, and for the first time Amber saw her own self, her eyes were as green as her poncho but amidst the sea of green lied a small island of Bright Cyan, her iris colour, starstruck by the gaze of her own reflection amber grew fearful, fearful of her own self. So. she ran. she ran as far as possible, hoping to escape the Gaze of her own sight...

Years passed, amber begun wearing a bandanana over her face just barely showing her eyes, Amber was a silent lass. Going around and Helping kind residents in exchange for shelter and a meal, Eventually it became a norm to Spot Amber residing in another's home soon the entire Shanty knew her as "the child of the people"

eventually at age 17 Amber was doing a simple Delivery for an old hermit couple when she uncovered what seemed to be some odd machinery, it seemed to Clean and pristine to be anything from the slums, curious Amber stashed the Package of goods for the hermit couple in a box, and then hid beneath an old door, afterwards She headed down the damp alleyway. Upon reaching the other side she saw two oddly shaped beings in the dark, cautious Amber hid from view behind a stack of pallets and peered through the gaps. what she saw next terrified her to her core. Two pairs of the same Green tinted eyes glinted in the light hanging above, it was as if the eyes were staring, piercing into her. Panic struck amber as she Bashed down the Pallets in front of her and made a mad dash for the alleyway she came through. but however even more eyes of the same tint pierced the darkness of the shadow caked alley. Amber crumpled to the ground weighed by pure terror. she was used to fighting but this. this was something that is not even possible to describe in sheer words alone. yet. she stayed firm, and looked forward eyes wide with a coat of anger hiding the thick wall of absolute terror. and after what seemed like an eternity to her, they withdrew and lurked into the shadows, leaving no trace... aside from a peculiar object of unknown origin, but unlike herself she took the object and slid it into her woven coat's pocket. she ran and grabbed the package and hurried back to the couple before anything else could happen. the hermits allowed Amber to rest in their home for the evening, however Amber couldnt rest, she had met such uncanny beings that yet, showed a striking resemblance to her, even if she only saw the eyes of the 8 that were present.

Time passes and the norm of her Unnormal life returns, Time passes to the eve of winter night, With no where to go and a now 18 year old Amber is shivering and stumbling down the empty streets of Mini-opolis, the name she given the shanty city she grew so accustomed to, all of the residents seem to be asleep or not present. all besides a lonesome cafe, just 4 blocks down. Freezing and running out of any energy she can muster she heads to the home. after knocking faintly on the window sill she is Greeted by a Young but aged Orca, the man sees the Child and without even knowing of who she is he lets her rest upon his sofa and lets the weary child rest. The next Day Amber finds herself in front of a nice steaming bowl of soup, what is in the soup, even amber doesnt remember. as Amber is eating a Young little orca child peers out slightly scared and watches Amber, all amber does is shrug. its not the first time shes been given looks but others when residing in their abode. the Man walks out from behind child shortly after and sits down across from Amber and Greets himself, After a small conversation the man now known as Ox, welcomes Amber into his home, she quietly nods and thanks him and his family for the hospitality. as Amber gathers her belongings the man stops Amber just as she is about to exit the home. "You dont have a place to call home do you? well. we do have a spare room you can have as long as you wish, i know it isnt easy fending for your lonesome." these words stopped Amber in her tracks, it was the first time someone actually offered her a place to stay long term. not knowing what to say all she could process was a grateful bow and begun to unpack her belongings into her new room, it wasnt much but it didnt have to be much. Yet that Night while resting there she spotted the one thing she would never hope to see again. outside her room's window overlooking a damp alleyway still uncovered by the blanket of snow lies 3.. 3 pairs of the same Green tinted eyes, staring back at her, they did not move, or disappear, the lingered for what seems like decades, however as daybreak finally started to peak over the highrises to the East, they retreated to a sewer grate lurching just out from the shadows and as the shadow from the building receeded, so did any evidence of *them*

Now at age 19 and current time Amber sets off waving goodbye to her new family for the day and heading off to the square, ready to see what lies ahead of her. Yet she still cant shake the feeling of the same eyes as her own. watching, and lurking from where ever the normal glance cant spot. but perhaps it wont matter as long as she has those she cares for around her.

And thats that, the brief story of Amber, although there is a few loose ends in her memory such as anything to do with the mysterious complex, or the eyes. but not all questions need to be answered or perhaps some have yet to be found out? its possible in time these loose ends may finally be tied up.

Bare baby necessities

I thought this would be a good time to do a little writeup on the baby things we purchased, things that worked and things that didn’t. Click on the title to get you to direct link.

0-3 months

Bassinet:

We used this till about 7 months and then could no longer use it because she would push to stand and it was scary. But up until then it was used the most for her daytime naps. Its quite flimsy and so can be used to rock as well. We got it the day we got home from the hospital 13th Aug 2016 and pt it together in under 30 minutes. Definitely recommend. 

Swing:

This also was great till she was about 4 months after which she didnt like being constrained in it. Although she didnt spend as much time in it, it was a nice break from having to rock her. The soothing music can put you to sleep as well.

Body Pillow:

This can be used in so many ways. While i used it in my last trimester, I continued to use it while breastfeeding(in place of a nursing pillow which i returned), and also as a protective boundary for the baby when she was awake. Around 4 months postpartum or so I gave the pillow a good wash and donated it to goodwill.

Nursing Nightgown:

I’m not a nightgown person and so I used it about 3/4 times. But it was a nice piece to change into at the hospital and very easy to feed. If you cosleep and feed the baby while lying down, this gown is so helpful with not having to fight clothing. 

Graco Pack n Play:

Such a waste of money if you cosleep. But otherwise so nice to use because you can have your baby nap really close to you. I do have a word of caution. This is very easy to pack and unpack but if you have it put together it doesn’t fit through a 30″ door which means you will have to disassemble it and reassemble it. We did use the nappy changing section of this for the first couple of months but otherwise all we do is use the playpen as a storage unit.

Glider:

I think this was one of the first items that was baby related that I got. So helpful in the first few months when you just want to rock the baby, soothe your baby and sing a few lullabies. Always be careful about holding your baby and dozing off. Keep alarms, take help if you can.

0-12 Months:

Car Seat/Stroller combo

We bought this in haste when we had a little scare at the 30 week mark. We probably used this the most of all the things we bought that was baby related. We went on walks with it, traveled with it, used it to rock her for her day naps. Very sturdy and now that shes grown out of it, its a very bittersweet feeling because it was the first car seat she sat in when she was less than 2 days old. <3

We recently upgraded to this Graco forever seat. Definitely recommend this as a single time purchase if you don’t want the hassle of changing carseats.

Baby Monitor:

While there are dime a dozen baby cameras and monitors, this was probably the cheapest thing that worked wonders for us. When we wanted to work/study or cook and not disturb her, this was so useful. It picks up the littlest of noises and I could be with her in a jiffy. I’ve used this when i wanted to exercise when she was sleeping. So so useful!

Booster seat:

This is great when you want to have your baby sit with you while you eat and get them used to sitting at a table. Although we rarely eat at our dining table, we like to give her a semblance of a routine so when its time to eat, we get her to sit in her chair and eat. its super cute to watch.

Baby Proofing:

We got the baby proofing items on a need basis. Of all the things I got only 1 item was utterly useless in our case. Each baby is different and takes to things differently. 

Stairway safety net: Useful if you have stairs, and a baby thats all over the place.

Play yard: Useful if your baby stays in restricted areas. Helps when you need to go to the bathroom or rush out of sight for a few minutes. My baby hated this.

Corner guards: For those tables with sharp corners. These can be a life saver. Babies love to get under tables and most tables are around the 30/35 inch height so i highly recommend these.

Outlet plugs: If you have outlets in the ground or on the lower part of your wall, you’ll need this. I never knew babies could be attracted to power outlets likes bees to a flower.

Latches: These can be used for so many things, i use them to keep our doors closed so we don’t open them.

Magnetic locks: I use them for my kitchen cabinets and love them. So useful and they don’t make the cabinets look bad.

I have a few recommendations on clothes, cloth diapers, body washes, footwear but all that another time. One big recommendation is Amazon Prime. For someone that might not have a whole lot of time to go shopping, its such a big help! If you are ever considering giving someone a (generous)gift, consider gifting them a membership. :)
