Who: @aurorabaystarter Where: The hospital elevators

"Wait wait! Hold the elevator! Please!" Nari called, she had a million places to be today and she didn't want to miss the elevator again. "Sorry! I missed the elevator earlier and I didn't want to again."

[eternalconsxlationprize]

Open to all

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?

[masoncambridge]

open for: anyone @aurorabaystarter where: carnival

"I'm telling you, I have good aim...and I will win this duck damn it." Mason said to the other as he adjusted the hold and took aim. "Maybe my eyes are a little dry, how many times have I tried again...three? This is my last one before I have to pay another round. The real question is....is it worth it."

[seversilencetobias]

Who: @aurorabaystarter Where: Sharky's

It was a regular occurrence at this point. To be standing and minding his own business when someone fell into another and a drink spilled onto him. It was just the way of the world at this point. No longer did Tobias react in a big way, but instead merely sighed and began to pick up napkins at one of the dispensers. This time there was a partner in the spilling and he immediately offered them the napkins after grabbing them, "Does this also happen to you every time you're here or is it a curse only upon my house?"

[haley-owens]

Open: @aurorabaystarter location: all-nighter diner

"With the holiday right around the corner again, and perhaps watching Bad Moms one and two, I realize I have no Christmas Spirit. I'm even annoyed with the Christmas music." Haley said as she sat there at the diner sipping on her coffee, her bad habit of drinking caffeine so late. "Am I the only one feeling like the Grinch?" She asked the person near her.

who: open / @aurorabaystarter where: oceania bookshop

Since coming back to Aurora Bay, Oriana found herself slightly bored with more free time on her hands. She had never been one to read for fun, but she was almost in her thirties and needed to pick up a new hobby. Stopping by the bookshop, she perused the shelves trying to find something that would be interesting to her. "Excuse me," Oriana cleared her throat and looked at the person beside her. "I'm looking for something light to read. Do you have any recommendations?"

[gracecromwell]

Open starter: @aurorabaystarter

Gracie was stressed, which was normal for her. She wanted to make sure her designs were good enough to not be rejected but of course it didn't go as planned so instead of crying about it, she decided to go grab baked goods to make herself feel better. Gracie turned to look at the other and waved the chocolate croissant. "I'm just saying, these chocolate croissants are the best."

[claudiahuxley]

Open starter: @aurorabaystarter Location: Four Leaf Pub

"I think nothing beats being new, I got lost...lost, then I almost lost my phone, it's been a rough day." Claudia said out loud to the other that was nearby, taking a long sip of her drink. "But hey, at least it's not a huge city like LA or New York. God I can only imagine the type of shit I would be in."

[the-nelson-quinn]

Location: Oasis Status: Open @aurorabaystarter

Nelson never wanted to celebrate his birthday on his own because he just felt like that would have been a boring way to spend the day. It was why he’d messaged a few people and told them if they had the time he was going drinking and dancing for his birthday and they were more than welcome to drink on his dime. So when he saw the familiar face he smiled softly. “ what was it? the free drinks or the chance to see my shitty dancing ?”

Cricket & Nikki's birthday party @ Ocean Crest Rooftop || Open to all

Nikki let out an excited shrill, hands reaching out to take hold of the other's hands. "Oh my God, thank you so much for coming!" she offered with a grin, honestly excited. "I know this is..different, but it's going to be absolutely amazing" she gushed. How many people would throw a prom themed birthday party in the middle of November? Well, two..tada, and welcome to their party!!

[linnea-lorenzo]

Status: Open Location: Outside Elegance Dance Studio @aurorabaystarter

Linnea was standing outside handing out some fliers with another one of her coworkers just to get a little more attention to the studio. Sometimes people wouldn’t realize something was in town unless it was thrown at them. And she was always willing to help someone new dance. “ I promise it’s fun! And it’s all different types of dance “ she replied as someone walked away with the flower without acknowledging her. “ I don’t know if this is working “ she said out loud but gave another smile as she handed another flier out. “ would you like to learn how to dance? “

[maiaxanderson]

open for @aurorabaystarter where: sea glass boutique

Maia straightened the racks in her boutique, the soft hum of pop music creating a soothing background as she tidied up. The Sea Glass Boutique was now her pride and joy, and she loved every moment of running it. Today was particularly busy, with a steady flow of customers filtering in and out, each one hoping to find something special.

As Maia adjusted a display of elegant summer pants - the linen kind, the boutique’s bell chimed, announcing the arrival of a new customer. "Hey, welcome!" She greeted them, "let me know if there's anything I can he-" her attention was drawn to one of the jewelry cases that had made a noise. A few of the necklaces had fallen. Maia let out a heavy sigh, clearly it wasn't the first time it had happened. "Sorry, I swear to god my grandmother is haunting this place and she hates the way I've redecorated."

[ninaxgray]

Open: @aurorabaystarter (Feel free to assume connections) Where: Laying on the concrete path in a park

Nina doesn't quite know it got to this point of the night. Drinking at Oasis, then stumbling through the park only to find herself on the ground and looking up at the sky. She accepts where fate and alcohol has brought her, only now realising her company for the night too had fallen onto the ground. "Want some?" Plucking her cigarette out of her mouth between her index and middle finger, succumbed to the asphalt, holds it out towards the other person.

"People suck, y'know? Like so many people in this town choose to be the bastards that they are."

[basaaragon]

who: open / @aurorabaystarter where: near town hall

Bas felt like this was just not his week. After getting a poor grade on an exam in one of his classes, he was honestly looking forward to a bit of a break—have a time to reset. He wasn't even sure if he'd be doing anything for Thanksgiving or if he was going to skip it, but there were options. Leaving town hall after dropping off a document for work—really the last thing he needed to do this week before he was done for the week. "I'm officially done with work for the week." Bas said to the person beside him on the sidewalk. "I feel like I should celebrate."

[laceyxpierce]

open: @aurorabaystarter

 “Can you believe they have Salmon vodka?” Lacey turned to the other to hold up one of the bottles before setting it back on the shelf, figuring to waste some time by browsing at the store when she knew she probably should have been grocery shopping and alcohol technically wasn’t food, she picked up another bottle to look at. “Makes you wonder what type of person drinks these absurd alcohol choices and before you ask, yes I am procrastinating on doing homework."
