jude had accepted the fact he was inadequate as a potential father in the future. with the exception of a few young men around town he was a begrudging brotherly/father figure for in a sense. at least the difference there was they were grown adults and their life trajectory wasn't overly affected by him. "well, at least you can say you tried." the blonde claps his hands together, standing up from the machine he'd lingered on to have a conversation with the stranger. "what's that supposed to mean?' it's obviously a joke comment, playfully prodding, as jude reaches down for his towel to clean the seat from sweat in true gym etiquette.

@elinaxkumar

"Fair enough." At least he knew that about himself. Just because you could donate some sperm or an egg did not make for suitable parents. A lot of people simply figured it out as they went, but some were just tortured souls who could not eradicate that within themselves. It was a treacherous and ugly cycle and it felt like only a few people were self aware enough to know better. "Don't worry, I don't get on it myself. I thought my honesty would be convincing one way or another." Either people felt they had too prove her wrong or where of the same mindset as her to skip on by and continue on their respective workout regimen for the day. "Can I spot you a shake? You look like you could use one."

Saturday, January 20th, 2024 – A baby shower for a beautiful mother-to-be and not so bad looking father too.

Nelson smiled as he looked over to his date and was glad she let him know what she was wearing because he wanted to compliment someone who looked as beautiful as she did. He wanted to just forget about any problems and have a good time tonight and he knew that Elina would be someone to have fun with. “ so what are we thinking? Drinking? Dancing? Making terrible terrible decisions with everyone wearing masks and none of us knowing who the other is?”

[joey-madani]

CLOSED STARTER for @elinaxkumar at Joey’s Condo

“I can’t cook to save my life…” Joey ushers Elina into her condo, taking her coat from her to hang by the door. Bella doesn’t budge from her nap in her dog bed, but Bowie is as nosy as ever, trailing after Elina. “Not Thanksgiving level, at least. So I ordered some catering.” 

Not from anywhere in town, however, as all the different restaurants there offered a variety of things that didn’t fall into her idea of a Thanksgiving vibe. “Sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, some turkey. And I bought a couple bottles of wine.” They’re sitting on her island counter in the kitchen with two polished glasses ready to be filled. 

There is also a loaf of fresh bread from the bakery, and a few cookies and donuts from Sweet Nothings in a box ready for after dinner treats. After presenting the spread that is more than enough for the two of them, Joey holds her arms out to pull Elina into a quick embrace.

“Thank you for coming! I don’t get to do anything for Thanksgiving, other than recover from Thanksgiving Eve bartending, so this is really nice.”

"i see those ballroom dancers just absolutely swinging around high heels and i'm like... how do their ankles not snap doing that?" lucy's eye widen at the thought, she'd just gathered enough confidence earlier to take her new heels out for a little spin. she probably should of broke them in earlier. "i can only guess at some point you loose a lot of feeling in your feet." at least that what she was currently feeling. she was told not to rest her feet for too long, though, the pain will come back immediately after. "i probably should of done that. i'd only taken them out of the box for second time today, i was too sacred of ruining them."

@elinaxkumar

"You learn which shoes are best supportive for you and which shoes allow you to do particular dance moves," she offered. Heels weren't something she had access to until she was well into her late-teenage years. It would have been to promiscuous for her parent's darling daughter to display such attire. Yet, a few years later they would happily have placed her an arranged marriage as if five years time makes that grand of a difference. "It's a trial and error...usually about an hour into wearing the shoes you know what your limitations are if they do exist." Elina herself had a nice pair of heels on tonight. She'd alright hit the dance floor with Nelson, Joey, and a few other friends tonight. "Definitely practice at home first."

where: the mostly renovated living room of Levi's house

Levi wasn't technically going out of his way to not see Elina, but he certainly wasn't making any strides in going to her and trying to fix their relationship. Until today, that is. He had pushed it off long enough with fixing his house that now he felt ready to talk. "Do you want anything to drink?" He asked, already feeling the twisting and turning in the pit of his stomach. Things were different now with him and between the both of them and it terrified him to potentially let someone else down again.

CLOSED STARTER for @elinaxkumar

"Are you sure your date doesn't feel like he's third wheeling?" Joey tosses a look over her shoulder, nothing short of taunting, in Nelson's direction, until she is looking back to Elina with her candy red smile bright as ever. "It's alright, I'll be sure to leave you two closer to midnight for your New Year's kiss." A wink is given, the Joey is holding her champagne flute up to clink to Elina's, and she leans in to whisper as low as she can before the music would drown out her voice.

"Just a friend? Or are you both going home together?"

Though it was out in the open, the corn maze felt like the best place for two people to finally talk. It didn't feel as claustrophobic as it could with being crammed into a house or restaurant. Levi didn't know how to make sense of his feelings with Elina. "Did you take me out here so you could easily hide a body?" He joked as they continued walking (probably getting lost).

[noralevin]

"I tried to tune him out for the most part, but it was definitely some misogynistic alpha male bullshit. Might've literally been about how he worked hard to provide for them and he expected her to pull her weight at home, or something like that. Couldn't have been a more stereotypical woman-hating dickhead." Maybe it reflected something naïve in Nora, that she was surprised when confronted with such blatant shittiness, but it also had been such a stunning display that she'd have to be a complete pessimist to not be shocked by it.

She leaned in when Elina started telling her own story, nodding and humming in affirmation occasionally to show that she was locked in. As soon as the two women in the story found each other and got talking, Nora's eyes widened. This was the kind of soap opera shit that she loved. "Oh my god, but like— that's feminism! Those women have climbed the mountain and reached the peak of feminism." She was being facetious, of course, but there was something delicious about the fact that they'd teamed up instead of turning on each other. "What a prick, though. Sounds like he deserved what he got."

@elinaxkumar

"Oh my goodness!" Elina said her eyes going wide as Nora shared her encounter. People had no sense of decorum or self awareness. "What was he even scolding them about?" The fact that he had no regard for Nora was ludicrous. Yes, they were providing a service, but that did not mean the Levin remained invisible and to the will of the patron. "Good for you! He deserved that and I hope he got stranded for a good bit of time too!" What a fucking asshole. Elina had her fair share of those that came through the shop too. It unnerved her to no end.

"Imagine trying to be with multiple people at the same time and unknowingly both had been invited to this event." This forty-something year old man walked in with this beautiful brunette who had an engagement ring on their finger. "Let's call the brunette Bella and the blonde Jess. Bella walks in with Tom on full display. Jess notices Tom and see that he's with someone who isn't her. Jess then corners Bella and the two of them chat while Tom is seemingly engaged in conversation with a group of men. Both women go over to him and each toss their drinks in his face and an engagement ring in front of everyone." A pop of her fry she shook her head in dismay. "Yet, he still had the galls to say he had no clue who Jess was after all of that."

Nelson and the Christmas spirit wasn’t a common phrase and yet he was actually feeling pretty good this year. He hadn’t been a complete disaster and despite his tendency to flirt with anyone with a pulse he wasn’t making his life worse like he usually did. The Christmas market seemed fun but he had to admit it would be more fun of his stomach hadn’t been growing. “ there has to be more food around this place right? Not just stuff that tastes like candy canes?” He asked as he looked around with a face that expressed that he needed a bit of help.

Genuinely appreciative of the woman's candor, Felix's head tilted and he angled his body more directly toward her as she spoke, to show that he was giving his full attention. None of her comments were wrong, and they were well-observed. If he'd had to write about this band, he probably would've made similar points. "That's astute," he said, meaning it but also hoping that his pause wouldn't make her think that he was surprised by the observations; he was actually slightly impressed. "You're right. They sound like too many of those bedroom pop Brooklyn boy bands who have a single line of a single song go viral on TikTok. They're just begging for someone to use this song in their vacation montage or year in review slideshow."

@elinaxkumar

"I can give credit, where credit is due," she said looking at the young band performing on the stage. It took a lot of courage to expose oneself in this manner. The rawness that came out of performing and sharing to people of the world your most innate thoughts in song. "They're forcing their sound though. It's not coming natural and therefore lacks the authenticity I feel most people crave when they listen to music." She wasn't one who indulged in rock music all that much, but with the right rhythm, cadence, and powerful lyrics, just about any genre could hook in the Kumar if even for a little bit. "Also the bassist is a bit flat if I'm hearing that correctly..."
