"I think so, yeah, I've done some interviews before," he explained though he wasn't elaborating with any information that would give his secret away. When he'd won news outlets from all over Texas had reached out to him and wanted some comment. For weeks his story had been the filler content on the news. Something lighthearted to cut through their usual topics. He was sure those interviews existed somewhere on the internet for all of eternity just like everything else. Elliot had never sought out watching them. He wasn't a big fan of seeing himself on camera. "I can't promise that," Elliot said with a chuckle. After all, the whole reason he'd ran away to Aurora Bay was because too many people back home learned about his money and they all wanted something from him. If something similar was to occur here in Aurora Bay he would have no problem ditching this scene too. It would be incredibly easy in fact. Elliot took the shot even though he felt like he didn't really deserve it for his hit. The tequila burned and he was reminded why he didn't usually do shots.

"It's best to visit in the spring or fall, I'd say. Then it ain't too hot," he explained. He was living through his first summer here in California and while both places were hot the heat was a lot more bearable with an ocean breeze. "You got any desire to go to Japan?" Elliot asked. Though he was joking and wasn't seriously going to invite someone who was more or less just a stranger even though they poured him good drinks he might as well ask for the hell of it. That was the first place on his bucket list to visit whenever he gets himself a passport.

Celeste playfully narrowed her eyes at him and ended up getting out two shots so they could drink them together, but she paused at his answer. "You're googleable?" She rose a brow at that but before she could do much else she realized she didn't have a last name, and it's not like Elliot was that rare of a name... She'd figure it out now though, just for the stubbornness of it all. "Okay, rich Elliot from Texas.." She started, pouring out the shots and sliding one over to him. "I will find you out. And when I do you just have to promise to not skip town cause I haven't exactly hated the conversation--and the tips of course." She added with a grin, clinking her glass against his before she easily knocked it back.

"I'm from Chicago, so California is a shift for me too, but Texas seems like a whole other world. So I'll hold you to it for the list...assuming I ever even manage to leave here." it was a wonder she had enough money to get here and now having a decent job that she could stay. She didn't think she was financially stable enough yet to just up and go across the country on a trip any time soon. But still. "Feel free to remember little ol' me and invite me to tag along if you ever decide to go on some lavish vacation."

@palmviewstarters // salty sailor bar

fidgeting with the stem of her glass, celeste leaned against the bar and scanned the room for her company of the night. being one of her go-to spots, most of the faces were familiar ( as they could be with a drunken haze clouding the memories. ) people were her favorite pastime, which made it more difficult to choose just one. how could she possibly know how she'd want to end the night when it had just begun ? huffing to herself, she downed the drink and signaled for another, deciding to go with proximity and see where it took her. "so, do you come here often ?" she asked the patron next to her, stifling her own laugh at the corny joke. "sorry, i've always wanted to use that line."

expectations had wrapped their claws around her throat and inseparably stuck on it ever since she was born. her mother always expecting to be her doom, her father to become the warrior that she now was, and what a sad thing it was that all of them were met. the male sitting across the table from her, however, was the complete opposite of what she expected a peregryn fae should be. the atmosphere between the last two remaining at the dinner table was a high contrast of the calmness that seeped off carden and the stiff coldness radiating from celeste. despite feeling the urge to leave the table, she decided to take her time with finishing her wine. it was also a beneficial decision, for the wine stash in her chambers. she was surprised to see him still lingering though. " you seem deep in thought, " she noted simply, locking her eyes with his dark hues, her head slightly bent and her fingernails tapping against her glass. " have you any updates on the other courts revelations about the return of magic ? "

he hadn't been seeing her that long - just a handful of months. but, toby could tell the direction it was heading, and the fear started to creep in. he knows that it feels okay. good even, when he's with olivia. but - she's not celeste. though, he's almost positive that she doesn't feel the same. which doesn't feel great - but neither does being in love with the same person for over a decade. so, when she visits, they're a few shots of bottom shelf vodka deep when he leans onto the counter between them. "so - i've been seeing someone." h's jaw clenches, glancing over at her as he pulls himself up onto the countertop.

"but i'm not asking you to love me back," she says, her voice trembling. "you don’t have to, if you don’t want to, or if you can’t. i’m just asking, please, don’t cast me aside." she reaches for their hand, her fingers barely grazing it. "just please let me love you... don’t make me stop." her words are fragile, desperate.

CLOSED STARTER: celeste! @astralfms LOCATION: friendship bracelet making

"i'm  so  serious,  letty,  hear  me  out,"  sydney  started,  pulling  at  the  sleeve  of  their  jacket  to  reveal  their  wrist.  "isn't  it  a  little  fucked  up  that  we  don't  have  matching  bracelets  yet?"  there  was  a  lot  that  charlotte  and  sydney  shared,  yet  friendship  bracelets  was  not  one  of  those  things.  "how  are  people  supposed  to  know  you're  the  other  half  of  my  brain?"

Celeste sat on her window looking out. Watching her younger children play. "They are growing quickly. We only have two left at home." Celeste said softly as she heard her husband approach.

"Wait. Sorry, three counting Salem and he's acting out more than the children these days." She chuckled. "I wish I could help him. I do not know how to. With all he has been through. What he was made to think of himself." She frowned. "I hate when I cannot fix things. When I can't make things better."

The nightsky was clear and showed the stars beyond bright and illusional close. The air was fresh and the Lady Celeste shivered gracefully aside Lyutsifer.

He slipped out of his favourite blue cloak and covered Celeste's shoulder with it. Placing a hand on her upper back he asked: "Better?"

Celeste 64: Fragments of the Mountain, beat January 29th.

Short but sweet game. Pretty fun and funny concept but the camera and depth perception are a bit awkward to handle. I don’t think Celeste in 3D works as well, but I enjoy it for what it is. Also the music having some Mario 64 instruments is really funny. The secret level music was also funny in concept but god were the samples used ear grating after a while, even if it was a funny reference to the Mario Sunshine secret levels and music.

"I'd really hope so. Itd be a little stereotypical if I was the only one masturbating to the thought of you. It's good to hear you masturbate to me." Jake grinned, pausing for a moment. "Next time we should do it in front of each other."

“Like now?” Celeste asked him as she sat down across from him, slowly spreading her legs. However, she wasn’t touching herself yet; she wanted to see what he was doing to do and/or say. It had been a while since they were both frisky, and she was done waiting for the ‘ideal’ opportunity.

where: the reef bar closed for @thecelestexzhao

Willow flexed her hand as she pushed through the door of The Reef Bar and made a line straight for the seat she liked to occupy when Celeste was working. She slid into it with a smile as she waved. "How's your night been so far? And could you just surprise me with something? After the day I've had, I don't want to think anymore."

loyalty is a word celeste prefers not to throw around, even goes out of her way to avoid, but the truth is, she simply does not understand it well enough to be sure of using it. she thinks she knows love because she has loved, her own messed up version of love, and so she's showed loyalty, to her mother, but how could she be loyal to something or someone she does not love? her court feels like her responsibility and her sense of belonging, but does she love it? she would feel the same way towards an another court if she was born in it. and the court becomes a set with it's high lord. her eyes settled on him, her head turned as her back still remained straight, a few inches away from the back of her chair. " the lantern festival appears to have eased some tension, but you seem perturbed, " she spoke and the short moment of comfortable silence was over, her focus on a line she thought she saw appearing between saint's eyebrows. she was picking things up in her memory if there was something recent that she was missing, but perhaps his mood was unrelated to court things, of course, she could not see how it could be so. " has anyone from dusk court asked for your attention recently ? "

[theirhorrorstories]

Brown eyes looked up into his. "Ollie..." She said softly. "I-" Celeste sighed softly. "There's something we need to talk about." It was the first time in her life she'd ever felt nervous around him. "You remember when you came to visit me a few weeks ago and we got drunk on wine?" She sighed.

"I'm pregnant, Ollie."

"I'm an asshole," the man says as she opens her front door. Although it was kind of terrifying she had opened he door before he even had the chance to knock. His gaze drifts across her, realizing she's not in a ball gown. A part of him wishes he would have realized that she wasn't going to attend the event without a reason to go, maybe he could have taken him but he already found another person to go with. He clears his throat, reaching into the inside pocket of his jacket, pulling out the folded up piece of paper as he holds it out to her. "His last known pin is Trinity." His theory of the kid being the killer was crumbling as the days went on and not a single sighting, a single shred of evidence that even indicated he was on the island. He has a feeling if Atticus was the killer that urge would be too good not to slip up somewhere. "And if I do find anything else you know you'll be the first person I call, Beaumont."
