"Ah, so that's what you are? Yourself?"

No wonder Sal couldn't place who it was he was supposed to be looking at -- both what he had previously thought was a costume and the man himself -- which floods him with a relief that he wasn't as out of touch as he thought.

( He's guessed more get-ups incorrectly that evening than correctly so far. )

"I'm not sure I'd be able to pick out a Sabrina Carpenter even if I was looking to because I'm not sure what I'd be looking at. Just blonde?"

Like everyone else on the planet, he had heard the coffee song but his knowledge of the artist started and ended with that me espresso, a phrase that confused him endlessly.

"I did see a Longlegs though, and I do wish I hadn't. It was very eerie. I think I saw him near the bar not too long ago," He hopes he's been of some mild assistance, switching lanes from unsure to wholly confident in his statement that follows, "The question here should be would Thanos survive me? My ego is saying he would not."

@tjmontgomerys

"I'm not even sure I'll survive the night as myself," TJ laughs mirthlessly as he makes a quick sweep of the bar in search of Mack or Macaulay. Their Instagram stories had showed them both in attendance of Sharky's annual Monster Mash but he fails to spot them amongst a crowd of pirates, greek gods and marvel characters—including Star-Lord in front of him.

"It's my first night back in town and I'm looking for my brother or sister. You haven't seen a girl dressed as Sabrina Carpenter or a guy dressed as Longlegs running around here have you?"

"What about you? Are you surviving Thanos?"

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!"

"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.

Madison: If you like that and like her, then why isn't she your girlfriend? Madison: I know this is 2024 but every relationship doesn't have to be a situationship. Madison: How about no, and how about we become friends? Madison: I mean I doubt she saw that instagram post I put on.

“– 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.”

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?"

Colton: Superbowl was a nice touch but you're still a jerk. Colton: Wait, wrong number. [ A minute later ] Colton: My idiot brother got us a suite for the Superbowl. Wanna come with?

where: docks near fisher's cove

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.”
