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

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

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

"Hey! Duck!"

“There was no alcohol in it,” Tyson explains, pointing to the mocktail he had just made that bore a name that he had said already was too close to the real version and was going to cause confusion. That seemed to be the issue at hand during the interaction he was recounting to the person on the other side of the bar. 

“That’s pretty much the point of it, no booze. Perfectly executed by me and yet I hand it over to the patron who requested and got a stool thrown at me. Unfair, no? Illiteracy is neither my fault or my problem.”

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

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

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

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

Nothing.

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

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

OPEN TO → MUTUALS (random abba lyric) Let this be either romantic in nature or her talking about something more supernatural. Truly I don't mind.

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

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

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

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

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

“Hey.”

Who: Open ( @aurorabaystarter ) Where: Driftwood Coffee

The smell of the coffee shop rushed out of the door as Max pulled it open, and he smiled as his eyes lifted to look over the menu. He knew what he wanted, but there was always the chance there was something new. After a few minutes, he found himself looking around for a seat before approaching a table in the corner. "You mind if I grab a seat?"

Ziggy did his utmost best to not look a little smug at the push notification he got from an Instagram DM that contained a screenshot of a DeuxMoi story.

"Question," He doesn't wait before he asks it, "Would you feel bad if someone you knew got exposed on the internet?"
