#Pepe the bartender

[yazmarina]

cariño (pintas en color)

pepe martí (f2) x gn!reader

surprising your long-distance boyfriend has never been sweeter.

warnings/notes: fluff, a meet-cute, just some general sweet stuff

a/n: for my pepe enjoyers out there <3 oh how I love this man. enjoy!

You met him at a bar in Barcelona.

It was clear, based on your initial judgment, that he doesn't frequent these establishments. His fingers fiddled with the condensation on his glass. When he's not swiping at the droplets, he's tugging at the tie loosely hanging around his neck.

He had his friends with him, at least, and they seemed to be having a good time. They must be celebrating something or on the way home from a formal event as they're all dressed sharply, youthful faces made a little more mature by the crisp fabric of their suits.

Your blouse and jeans suddenly felt a little too tight, a little too hot when the handsome young man with the cute smile approached the bar, stopping right next to you as he called out for the bartender.

"Another martini, please," he said in Spanish, that much you could recognize with what little of the language you picked up over the past six months.

You glanced up at his face casually, startled when you saw him already looking. You looked away in a panic, feeling your heart leap into your throat.

"I like your shirt," he said, leaning against the bar, head tilting as he studied you.

"T-Thank you," you said in stuttering Spanish. Only then did you notice how low-cut the neckline of your shirt was. "You look great in your suit."

He smiled, sliding into the bar stool next to you.

"I'm Pepe," he declared, in English this time, peering closer at your face as if to gauge if you'd be more comfortable using this language.

"I'm ______," you replied, smiling politely.

"Cute name," Pepe commented, nodding toward the bartender as his drink arrived.

"Not as cute as yours," you responded quickly.

Pepe chuckled, holding his drink up to you. You took ahold of your beer and clinked it against his glass.

"So, tourist? Expat?" he questioned before taking a sip.

You shook your head. "Student."

Pepe raised his eyebrows and nodded. "How long are you here for?"

"Another six months or so," you explained. "I'm on an exchange student program."

"So you're leaving eventually?" Pepe asked again, leaning closer. Your cheeks had heated up significantly at this point.

"Not anytime soon, though. Lots of time to...explore," you offered, bumping his shoulder with yours.

Pepe laughed then, eyes disappearing and his face lighting up despite the dim bar atmosphere. It wasn't the last time you'd look at his laughing face. But how you wished consistently in the months that followed that it wasn't just through a screen.

So now, standing in the middle of the Barcelona track complex, your heart pounds, your legs seemingly moving on their own accord as they start to walk towards what you know is the F2 paddock.

The last you've seen of Pepe in person was nearly half a year ago when you left Spain to return home. Almost a year since your first meeting and you can count on two hands how many physical dates you've gone on.

It wasn't ideal. You're not even sure if you and Pepe were meant to meet. Had he picked up his martini and left, the two of you would never have uttered a word to each other. If you hadn't returned his compliment, your life would look completely different right now.

A year of mismatched schedules, airport goodbyes, tearful last dates, and hours-long phone calls have come to this.

You're here now, walking to the Campos garage. Pepe's outside, warming up for qualifying. He's with his trainer, his back to you, completely oblivious to the grin his trainer flashes at the sight of you.

"Hola, cariño."

Pepe whips around and his eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets as he sees you. You're immediately picked up, giggling as your boyfriend spins you around in glee.

"You're here! How?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Pepe nearly stumbles over his words as he gently takes your face in his large hands.

You beam up at him, laying your own palms over his reddened cheeks. Pepe wastes no time and pulls you in for a kiss, sweeping and romantic and uncaring of all the eyes that stare at you right now.

"I love you," he professes.

It's a wonderful feeling, to stand here and to be able to show the person you love just how much you love them.

"And I love you, mi amor," you reply, balancing on your tip toes as you land a sweet kiss to his grinning lips.

-

"I can't believe I'm immortalized forever with this clip!"

You replay the video on your phone, groaning when your worried face fills up the screen once again. Pepe cackles with laughter beside you, doubling over, as if your concern for his safety was oh-so-funny.

"Would have been funnier if they did the label thingy as they do on F1," Pepe gasps in between laughs. "'________, Pepe Martí's partner', and then your face looking like that!"

You roll your eyes, but a grin spreads on your lips.

"You were wheel to wheel with your teammate, how else would I have reacted?" You ask, shoving Pepe lightly. "And how would I know that the camera guys were that interested in me?"

Pepe wipes away at the tears that have sprung up in his eyes, leaning closer to you. He leaves an innocent peck on the tip of your nose, giggling as your face scrunches up.

"Anyone would be interested in you when you're this beautiful," Pepe declares.

"I know I was," he adds, gripping one side of your face, tilting your lips upward toward his.

The two of you melt into a searing kiss and all you can do is smile, fingers carding through Pepe's hair.

Not to ramble so late at night but imagine with me for a moment

A newer reshoot of the original Muppets movie. I know movie remakes probably aren't the best idea but I have not been able to get out of my head some ideas of what some muppets who weren't included in the original film's actual story(not the like- theater part, but like the movie itself)(yes I'm talking about Robin and Lew)(also putting Lips in here despite him probably not existing yet)

Like imagine an updated muppets movie with Kermit taking Robin with him out of the swamp(Robin probably was a stowaway in the car let's face it), at the bar when Miss Piggy gets kidnapped and Kermit thinks she left him maybe Lew is the bartender at the same bar Rowlf plays at, Lips as being Actually Acknowledged as Part of The Band in the church turned coffee shop. Just!! So much!! We could throw Walter in there! Maybe Pepe and Rizzo! And Uncle Deadly and Bobo too!

Idk I just got thinkin about this today and felt like sharing :3

[system-architect]

i took some of my friends/guildies on a run through 'story mode' (listening to all the dialogue) of shattered observatory recently and some of them learned new stuff despite running fractals often, which made me realize a bit there's actually a decent amount of fractals lore that people might not know or have picked up on, especially if you ran through the fractals pretty fast?? imo it's genuinely one of the most fascinating and well-written areas of the game

so, here, some of my favorite fractal/dessa/arkk lore tidbits (and why i Really Love Fractals):

1. arkk and potentially dessa are implied to be ex-inquest-- in the nightmare fractals, arkk mistakes the players for inquest debt collectors, and in his chaos fractal journal entries mentions his 'witless subordinates', so the implication feels to be that his mists research was inquest funded before he ghosted them. in thaumanova, dessa mentions two of the inquest npcs as having been krewemates of hers-- in ls1 she refers to them as being from her 'old krewe', and still describes them as friends (she also refers to them as 'good technicians', like yknow, the inquest rank). also, it may be for aesthetics, but tiles with the inquest logo are used throughout fractals (and in mistlock sanctuary)

2. simon, the cat obtainable from fractals, is implied to have been arkk's cat as per the headstone next to it (does this make arkk's cat golems make sense? maybe! they're also a cheeky reference to the other cat golems throughout fractals)

3. there was a little incident back in ls1 that revealed the fractals lobby is, itself, a fractal, and it and all the creatures in it loop continuously just like the regular fractals. shattered observatory is also vaguely foreshadowed in it, in a sad way :")

3a. similarly, by the way, the mistlock sanctuary is a fractal too-- ever talked to the npcs in there? go speak to ilia-- and the bartender

4. dessa hates the consortium, supposedly 'lost' her boyfriend (potentially arkk's father?) to them, and is not aware that the consortium are the ones who started promoting the fractals to tyria as an 'attraction'

5. dessa is, in some way, connected to the asura boss at the end of uncategorized fractal-- a small fact we only know from the dreamer collection, combined with dessa freaking out and having to leave when the fractal begins. we don't know their relation

6. dessa seems somewhat aware that she is non-existent/a mists magic construct bound to the timeloops. in a now-lost lore interview from wartower, she is described as being afraid to leave mistlock observatory in case she can't return to it. at the end of shattered observatory, she is much quicker to have the revelation than arkk is-- to the point where you could read it as her having known the whole time

7. and now, my favorite, which is more of a headcanon with a solid lore basis that i tend to go full pepe silvia about-- there's two types of fractal we see: ones that are sort of 'possible' or somewhat alien alternate realities, and then ones that are repeating loops of events that actually happened.

chaos, nightmare, and shattered observatory are all evidently loops of events that actually happened. arkk very much does smash into the fractals, you very much do stop him, dessa and arkk very much do effectively sacrifice themselves to stop the fractals from becoming destroyed, and then the loop repeats-- as they explicitly state it will

here's the thing... during the dialogue at the end of shattered, dessa states that arkk did successfully account for all variables except for the reality that they themselves aren't sentient and are just echoes bound to the fractal loop. thus that arkk's DDR would have successfully worked to extract them from the fractals if they were real, corporeal entities.

but since the shattered observatory is an echo of an event that happened, then just like all the other 'echo' fractals, then there needed to have been actual people acting upon the mists to create the event that's echoed in the first place. that is, it didn't just pop into existence of its' own accord. and while we encounter the fractal looped versions of arkk and dessa, they definitely were real people outside in tyria at some point in time

so... in the original version of the fractal... what actually happened? did a real, corporeal arkk meet a real, corporeal dessa? if so, did his DDR work? did they actually escape the mists, and then the loop in the fractal only ended up like it did because the copies couldn't follow in the originals' footsteps? or was arkk real, only to find that dessa wasn't? if the arkk and dessa we meet are only impressions or echoes of the real things, then where on tyria are the real arkk and dessa?

we don't know!! we simply don't know! we also know very little about the consortium, their connections to the inquest, or the uncategorized fractal! there is SO MUCH lore they could expand upon in future fractals and i really really hope they do ;_;

[aggravateddurian]

Durian has created yet another variation of V because I'm just messing around in-game and I had this cool idea...

I can feel the AU mania overtaking me! It is a GOOD pain!!!

I like to call this AU "The Quiet Life" and it's honestly my fave, because I get to write smaller, more intimate stories about an ex-merc just living life in NC and I can create some new OCs to be her friends :).

This one's a 'V never goes to Konpeki Plaza and someone else gets the brain parasite terrorist rockerboy instead' AU. Basically, Valerie took a bullet and fall from a bridge during a gig (James Bond Skyfall-style) sometime during Act 1, before the Heist. Her cyberware saved her life, but she suffered severe injuries.

The injury guaranteed that she would not be able to participate in the Konpeki Plaza Heist, and Dexter DeShawn filled V's spot on the crew with another rising star from the Afterlife almost the second he found out about her situation. It seemed that the city had decided V's lifepath, and it did not include becoming a legendary Solo. Valerie took the hint. She became a bartender and began working for Mama Welles.

That means that while V's met some of the characters she'd normally see, like Evelyn and Judy, she has nothing to do with them. It's kind of bittersweet, and reminiscent of The Tower. V gets to live, but she loses all her chrome (almost everything needed to be removed to save her life) and has to start basically from scratch (she could work as a merc again, but the injuries have had a permanent effect on her, and she can't really bring herself to kill for money again).

Except for some close friends and associates (like Padre, Pepe, Mama Welles, Vik and Misty), V's traditional associates are either dead (Jackie), never met (Panam, Kerry, River, or even Johnny), thought her either dead or left the city (Regina, Wakako) or forgot about her (Judy specifically, after all, V was just some merc she met for like ten minutes and promptly disappeared back out of her life).

[thewiglesswonder]

meant to ask earlier, but then I didn't. here's some of those uncommon oc questions

Mac -> 2, 4, 11, 16, 32, A

Maelstrom -> 1, 3, 10, 15, 19, 27

Posthaste -> 1, 4, 8, 9, 11, 35, 40, B, C

sorry if this is a lot. I like knowing things & your ocs are one of my favorite subjects /gen

Here we go!

Mac

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh? She's not hard to make smile, but hearing her actually, genuinely laugh, for her to skip any sound and go straight to wheezing, that takes some effort. And it helps if you're Blitzwing.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust? Already answered!

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? Mac spent about a month or so in a state of perpetual confusion after getting blasted with the Data Cylinder, and in that time she went full Pepe Sylvia mode. If she doesn't understand something, she basically stops at nothing until she has at least a decent idea of what's going on.

16. What makes their stomach turn? Seafood. It's been like this since she was a teenager, the smell and taste of fish, cooked or raw, makes her gag.

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? Also already answered!

A. Why are you excited about this character? I'm excited about Mac because she's a mishmash of some of my favorite tropes, The Bartender with some Eldritch Horror thrown in there, that kind of thing, she's very near and dear to me.

Maelstrom

1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Two minutes, if you're lucky. If there is nothing around her to do, Maelstrom will make something to do. She's used to constantly doing something, she doesn't handle sitting still and being quiet well (she got quite enough of that as an Autobot, thank you very much).

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?) Like I said above, Maelstrom is constantly doing something. She hates recharging, really, if she could mod it out of her frame, she would. She envies the fact that Viceglide has to recharge half as much as she does. She either works until she passes out, or, if she makes the decision to sleep, closes out the night by reading something.

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them? Maelstrom remembers looking straight into the desperate, tearful optics of a mech early in the war, and assuring them that their conjux was alive when she had their energon drying in the seams of her armor. She doesn't know what possessed her to lie about it. Protecting the mech whose name she'll never know? Protecting herself from coming to harm as the medic who failed to save him?

15. How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? There's this quality to Maelstrom's cadence and voice that makes it sound like everything she says is carefully rehearsed. The reality is she basically has no filter from what she thinks and says if she decides to speak.

19. What is their favorite number? Ninety-seven. She thinks it sounds sharp.

27. What causes them to feel dread? Two main things: questioning her own mental integrity, and the thought of harm befalling Viceglide or Posthaste. Speaking of which...

Posthaste

1. What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Posthaste takes after his sire in this way, he's not good at sitting still. If push comes to shove, he can space out for maybe... ten minutes before he gets up and starts walking around.

4. How easy is it to earn their trust? He's an easygoing guy, but actually getting to the point where he trusts you is gonna take some work.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child? To not wander off. Posthaste grows up to be a terrestrial explorer, and his sparkling-hood reflected this. He was a curious kid, and this extended to the world around him. Maelstrom and Viceglide learned very quickly to either walk around with him or to keep a very close optic on him.

9. Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? Posthaste doesn't really swear, the most you'll hear out of him is a quiet "scrap" if things go wrong. However, his first swear word was a cheerful, emphatic "frag!" when he was too little to know what it meant, beyond that it made both of his creators either burst into astonished cackles or react with extreme concern.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? Hasty's an explorer! He's got no shame for asking questions about anything, how else is anyone supposed to learn anything? (This was a big thing with his creators when he was growing up. You don't have a passing understanding of mnemosurgery by adolescence by silently watching your sire work.)

35. How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive? Posthaste is very much a "match the person's energy" person when it comes to his friends. If you're excited about something, he'll be smiling right alongside you.

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws? He knows that he tends to get angry quickly at certain slights, and does his best to remain aware of it. That differs from his smarminess and sleaze that can come through when he grows up, which he is largely unaware of.

B. What inspired you to create them? I had been ruminating on how I headcanoned reproduction worked in TFA, and why, would you look at that, I just happen to have two OCs who are in love! Casting Maelstrom and Viceglide as parents in this regard was also a very interesting avenue to explore with their characters, but it was so much fun to try to decide what Posthaste would be like as well. Fun fact: I considered naming him "Hurry" when I first came up with him.

C. Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story? Not really! Posthaste is just any other Cybertronian, albeit, as one of the first protoformed Decepticons in millenia, trying to navigate the new post-war society.

[rayatii]

I feel like I'm running out of things to precede my pictures of my Sims 4 Elisir gameplay. Anyway!

Nemorino fed the birdies! (oh, and he's uncomfortable bc he injured himself while upgrading the shower.)

Nice picnic time!

Tickle, tickle, tickle! (Adina autonomously tickled him back immediately after)

This massage interaction happened autonomously, I thought that was just so cute 🥰🥰

Nemorino decided to fill the fountain with soap, and Adina saw that and laughed and clapped (probably bc she likes mischief?)

Just two babies playing in a soapy fountain 🥰

awwww Nemorino autonomously decided to serenade Adina by singing

I love how all these people all have Nemorino thought bubbles 😂 that one chick is even attracted to him!

(Context: a friend of Adina invited her to a dance party at that museum thingy lot in Windenburg at like midnight, and I had her accept and take Nemorino along. They drank some spicy hot chocolate, but there was no actual dancing nc the DJ station there wasn't functional bc of "rainy weather" or something. So when I ended the party early, Adina got an angry moodlet from "lame party".)

LMAO even the ghost of Dominik, Adina's former butler, is there 😂

Yes, Nemorino, I'm gonna get you and Adina back home soon enough.

Both eating Silly Gummy Bear Pancakes for breakfast (which were gifted to Adina by one of her ex-boyfriends, no less!)

I had them wear couples costumes, and they changed into the famous catfish costumes! (I didn't make them "noodle", tho)

Nemorino made a sugar skull offering to Uncle Pepe's urn, and managed to summon a Day of the Dead celebrator, who turned out to be none other than Giannetta's dad!! But he refused to give Nemorino a sugar skull collectible, even after I increased their friendship high enough 🤦‍♀️

Romantic introduction for Giannetta! (yes, I know the poll is far from being over, but the results are overwhelmingly in favor of these two dating.) I just wish her parent's weren't there.

Come Paride vezzoso 2.0 Dubstep Remix

A kiss, a question, and they're now dating! I turned on Neighborhood stories for all my created households other than Adina and Nemorino, now that I no longer have much use for them.

Awww Giannetta's dad cuddling a chicken 🥰

I decided to have Nemorino invite Dulcamara over, so that they can be close. I made him gossip about family drama... But tell me, Nemorino, who in your family WooHoo'd in a rocket ship?!!

I had them play Thumb's Up with Dulcamara, but they eventually abandoned the game to help with Atalanta's needs.

Nemorino hand-feeding her an apple 🥰 and not just an apple, a Nice quality apple!

For some reason, the bartender of the bar at Finchwick decided to come and have a little convo with Adina.

Dulcamara decided to make himself a drink at the bar. Very in-character (for the gameplay, at least).

But he decided to be mean to Principessa 😠 why???

Shaowen (the guy who gave Uncle Pepe's ashes to Nemorino) decided to come over. There he is talking with Sanook. I kinda ship them, either platonically or romantically.

Adina felt inspired enough to paint a picture, and Shaowen decided to chat with her. I tried my darndest to keep him from flirting with her.

I took the babies to the Romance Festival in San Myshuno. Here's Adina drinking the Sakura tea (Nemorino followed soon after).

Adina asked the Romance Guru about her relationship with Nemorino, and he answered that they were a match made to last 🥰

Nemorino was carrying his guitar in his inventory, so I had him busk a little. He even got a little tip from Faye Harris (the mother of Jeb Harris, one of Adina's many exes)

Of course I couldn't resist making them dance 🥰 (and also I had Nemorino nick a dragon fruit from the festival, since I haven't been able to grow one as of yet)

After returning from the festival, I decided to have them end the night in a very special way (will explain further down). But these cupid costumes look ridiculous with the hats and tights.

Anyway, I stopped there and added the On Ley Line trait to the house, because I'm planning a very elaborate gameplay scheme that might take a while to get right, as I really want it to adhere to my headcanons.

The Hidden Marigold

Owned by the Dantes family, it's a Mexican style restaurant, originally located in the middle district. Through one of the OmniCorp Holdings subsidiaries, they were able to move to a larger building in the upper district. Being allowed to mostly run without any interference while paying rent to them. For the most part the place stays fairly neutral, but it does have regular advertising displayed for the Big Three.

It's a two story building which uses a combination of holograms and audio recordings to appear like the inside of an underground cave. During the weekends it offers live music along with an open dance floor. The restaurant can also be fully reserved for private events and catering.

Current Employees:

Owners - Raul 'Pepe' Dantes & Guadalupe 'Lupe' Dantes (NPCs) Hostess (0/3) - Cooks (2/5) - Faris Dasai-Shehadi, Mick Dantes Waiters (3/5) - Julie Dantes, Leland Porter, Cain Barlowe Bartenders (1/3) - Minnie Dantes Busboy/Dishwasher (1/1) - Jaime Dantes

Well i mean he's a bartender so. Don't worry anon i know, yo sé hablar español no te preocupes 👍 (even if it's broke over years not speaking) it's just that since Pepe doesn't have accents, well i don't really bother adding any. Bébé with accents have the same meaning in my native tongue. Bebe with no accent doesn't exist in my language tho that's why bébé/bebe similarity never cross m'y mind -sarah

24/12 Michele Piagno, barman internazionale, prepara 5 speciali cocktail di Natale a Lo Spirito Giusto - Codroipo (UD)

Michele Piagno, mixlogist di livello internazionale figlio d'arte (la sua è una famiglia di ristoratori e gestori di locali) lavora più o meno sempre, anche quando è in vacanza. E lavora infatti pure nella notte di Natale: il 24/12/23, dalle 21 in poi, allo Spirito Giusto di Codroipo (Via Isonzo 7/A), prepara 5 particolari cocktail dedicati alla festività più importante tra quelle di Fine Anno. "Saranno cocktail molto particolari", spiega Michele Piagno, che è appena tornato da un viaggio  dai Caraibi, dove ovviamente non è soltanto riposato ma ha anche fatto un bel po' di aggiornamento professionale, in quella che è la patria del Mojito, cocktail a cui ha dedicato il suo libro "El Senor Mojito". 

Che cocktail preparerà il 24/12? Beh, bisognerà andare a Codropio per scoprirlo. Ed è certo che Piagno saprà consigliare a tutti proprio il cocktail giusto, quello che più si avvicina alla propria personalità.

Chi è Michele Piagno

Originario di San Vito al Tagliamento (PN), Michele Piagno è un barman esperto di mixologia molecolare. Classe 1981, è figlio d'arte: con la sua famiglia di ristoratori, tra un impegno e l'altro gestisce l'Enoteca Vecchia Pretura, a Codroipo (UD).

Brand Ambassador Mixò Italy, nel 2019 ha pubblicato "El Señor Mojito", un libro di 51 ricette in cui, mentre racconta l'origine del cocktail a base di lime e rhum, svela i segreti del barman perfetto. Nel 2021 lancia poi Barancli, Gin Originale Friulano, legato a doppio filo con la sua terra e sta scrivendo con il giornalista / blogger Lorenzo Tiezzi "Consumazione compresa", un libro dedicato alla magia della notte, a tanti suoi protagonisti e al buon bere.

"Barista, barman, bartender… in fondo sono tutti sinonimi. Chi sta dietro a un bancone deve soprattutto saper ascoltare e regalare un po' di serenità a chi viene a rilassarsi in un locale", spiega Michele Piagno, un professionista che punta da sempre su creatività ed eccellenza senza prendersi troppo sul serio.

Nel 2011 ha ideato Glow Sweet & Sour Mix, un liofilizzato divenuto brevetto mondiale per cocktail fluorescenti e si occupa da tempo anche di formazione: già dal 2007 è master trainer e collabora con Flair Academy Milano e con la Federazione Baristi Italiani.

Nel 2013 ha curato con il giornalista Claudio Burdi il libro "100 cocktail light e contemporanei", mentre nel 2014 ha collaborato con il celebre chef Terry Giacomello de l'Inkiostro a Parma (già al fianco di Ferran Adria a El Bulli) per la specializzazione e lo studio del concetto "Drink & Food".

Successivamente, ecco un progetto di food pairing con Norbert Niederkofler, lo chef tristellato del St. Hubertus di San Cassiano (BZ) e poi un altro progetto con Nicola Pepe, vincitore di Hell's Kitchen Italia 2018.

Tra le collaborazioni con i brand, ecco Redbull (Canambassador) e San Bitter, per cui ha creato drink abbinati ai finger food della campagna pubblicitaria "Intervalli Italiani". Suoi anche i drink studiati per Brouwerij Van Steenberg, uno dei più rinomati birrifici delle Fiandre che lo ha scelto per esaltare la sua birra più prestigiosa, la Gulden Draak. Infine, nel 2012 è stato Brand Ambassador Perrier.

"Maybe, but I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of it anyway."

He wasn't sure if she said it on purpose, and knowing how innocent she was, his bet would be that she had genuinely picked a random number. However--and though he could blame it on the alcohol, his reaction would be the same regardless--he still snorted, descending into a small fit of laughter. "An hour?" He mumbled, barely containing more expression of the humor he found in it, "Pretty solid deal. I also do things for 69 sometimes." Maybe she was right, maybe he was still sixteen at heart.

"Ah, mystery. Kinda like that." Briggs kept it light, away from the heaviness of what it had meant. How much time had she spent wondering what happened to him? It had been cruel not to tell her, especially after he'd gotten settled with the Mikaelsons and had a happy ending to give her, but he had convinced himself she was better off. She had always been better off. He had always been a taker, a sponge, his dad had always said so. The right thing would always elude him. "Well, obviously, I'm irreplaceable," he quipped, before it wavered slightly, "we shared our childhood--not sure what I'd have done without seeing you on that porch pretty much everyday." She had given, he had taken. "They don't count," he remarked, "pretty safe bet to assume cops are OEA. Keep your distance." But maybe that's what he could give now: a warning of who to avoid, a way to be safe.

"What's what like? Sleeping around?" He wasn't going to assume he knew what she meant, it was too sensitive a topic. "Um...okay?" He let out a brief breath of a laugh, "that's why I like hanging out with you, you always ask things no one ever has." Sometimes best friend didn't feel like words enough for the connection between him and Riley, but it worked for everyone else to understand the indescribable. "You ever been to Second Life?"

Boy, did he know that. "Yeah," he confirmed aloud, "I know."

Shrugging off the returned compliment, he joked, "just imagine what I can do now that I have money." Tapping his glass so the bartender would fill it again, he was going to need more of it for the rest of this conversation. It gave a beat of silence he needed to process the wish. "Me too," he admitted quietly, even though he knew it was his own fault it hadn't. The what-ifs hung in the air, and to travel those mental paths would get them nowhere. She'd have been good for him, but he wasn't sure he'd ever have let her be. He always knew what she hadn't back then but maybe would start to see now: he'd never have been good for her.

So they were resigned to the saddest of fates: almost.

"This girl is not your friend," the chef stated, "she's too polite."

"She is!" Briggs contested with a laugh. His mother had owned this for as long as he'd known her, so the staff was, in many ways, an extension of family. When he was a starving kid pulled off the streets, Chef had fed him. Despite the frustration Briggs could cause, there was an understanding beyond pleasantries or even words.

As the chef agreed to make her cacio e pepe and informed Briggs he'd get the same, Briggs turned back to her, "so where do you live now?"

"Cool is subjective."

"My fee is 69 dollars an hour plus tax." Nova joked thinking her jokes are finding.

"Childhood friend turned mystery." Nova said. "But your new name is Case Study of Reappearance number 777-The case of the wolfy-witch." There was a gentle nudge. "It means you won't be replaced." Nova said with a chuckle. There was a betrayal in that laugh. "We'll see but there's no one as of this conversation." There was a small laugh. "There's a frequent patients who are cops but I'm not sure they count."

"No no. We're adults we should be able to. What is it like though?"Nova asked quickly. She took a big gulp of water. Nova raised an eyebrow at the mention of the scars. "I want to see them and biopsy them for reasons." Nova said in an odd tone. She was curious if Brigg's biology was different from hers. There was a small sigh in response. She longed to be that friend but it was okay. "I'm happy you have a best friend- I want to meet them now."

Nova rolled her eyes and sipped some more water. "Some dreams are meant to be dreams, Briggs." Nova said.

There was a goofy grin and her ears turned red. "T-thank you. I wanted to look good for my first dance." Nova smirked. "You didn't look too bad yourself. I had fun with you." Nova said. "I just-" Nova didn't want to finish the sentence. "wish it lasted longer." She couldn't help but wonder if Briggs stayed, what would they have been together. Nova shook her head.

Their paths had diverged and they were too different now.

Nova bowed after Brigg's statement. Even as a wealthy person, Nova was taught to show respect to the staff. "Please take of me." Nova said in a sincere tone.

"If it isn't too much trouble do you have cacio e pepe." She asked. "If not mac and cheese is okay it's essentially the same thing." She said quickly.

You can now download the updated Madariagas from my gallery page!

Daniele took Adina to a lounge in Oasis springs after her party in order to complete Night on the Town, and I had him order the most expensive drink there (obviously), and I made her order her favorite drink, which turned out to be... WATER. I suppose it makes sense, in many ways.

omg I just witnessed a Romantic Satisfaction moment between the bartender and a townie.

Uncle Pepe why are you listed as their neighbor I thought you lived in San Myshuno

ANYWAY. I did give Adina the Serial Romantic aspiration when I first edited her, but I also want to alternate between that and the Goal Oriented and Admired Icon teen aspirations. So in order to advance them, I might need some opinion...
