Even though she'd dined in some of the best places around Italy sometimes Halide craved simplicity. The finer things in life had been wondrous to experience, and she could certainly afford to continue the lifestyle once provided for her thanks to finally receiving her late husband's estate, though rather than take a table at La Galleria, the brunette wanted nothing but a classic pizza and plenty of alcohol. Not wine. She was so sick of wine. A margarita? Yes, she'd stepped inside the popular establishment nearly for that alone.

Once inside the doors and before she could greet the hostess for a spot to enjoy a craving turned into a need, a familiar face and figure was there. Almost appeared as though Theodora, someone she'd lost a bit of contact with in the last year or so, had been waiting on her to arrive. Like they had a standing date. A twitch in her lips conveyed amusement as their eyes met. This woman had been someone that'd known her late husband, someone that had been in the courtroom as they tried to rip Halide to shreds and call her a monster, someone that had been in her bedroom. "Wanna get a table together?" The invitation was a casual façade that hid her surprise at Theo being in Blue Harbor. She'd heard of the equestrian center so perhaps this was inevitable.

WHO — @maikabishop WHEN — late afternoon / early evening WHERE — maika's apartment

Even though Maika still had her phone number and reached out as she'd said she would with a text to meet up and talk, Noa pumped the brakes on any sort of reunion. From the moment they'd gone their separate ways at the grocery store, that random and shocking run-in, Noa ruminated and let her thoughts run back to memories. Nostalgia really was a bitter sweet experience. It highlighted the past in a way that made things look better than what they had been. Maika had been her best friend, the first person she'd really opened up to and shared her pain with, and that dearest friendship had turned out to be a huge life lesson.

As she'd gotten out of her car, still dressed for work since she'd come straight after she'd left Marineland, Noa glanced at her phone one more time for the text with Maika's apartment number. She'd had it memorized due to the amount of times she'd read over the simple texts and overanalyzed them. After weeks of pushing back with one excuse or another she finally bit the bullet. A breath was hauled deep into her lungs before she knocked. Then she waited. When the door opened a smile didn't jump to her expression like it would have in the past, but her heart rate did kick into a higher gear. "Hey, I can't stay long..." Already she was prepared to flee.

WHO — @valentincflores WHEN — monday afternoon WHERE — their aunt's house

The person that answered the door after she'd rung the bell hadn't been whom Toni was expecting. She was far too young to be her aunt and mother's sister. Maybe she'd gotten the address wrong or the records had not been updated. "Umm, hi," she began, now everything she had wanted to say evaporated from her head, "sorry to interrupt your day, uhh..." Almost desperately her eyes searched around, wondering if maybe someone else was home or as if the answer of what went wrong would suddenly reveal itself.

"...are you the owner of this house?" As a stranger standing on their front step it was a bit intrusive but it stumbled out of Toni. "Sorry, yeah, I'm just," she looked back toward her car for a second, think she should leave, "I'm looking for my aunt." To her, personally, this was the biggest and most important reason for being in Briar Ridge. Even taking a backseat to the mission her father had her on because Toni had been wanting answers regarding her mother for far too long.

"romantasy is at the bottom of the barrel of genres. it just doesn't thrill me like a good thriller. if there isn't any blood shed, or someone begging for their life by the end, then it's like 'what's the point', you know?" (@ofbookshelves)

"The popcorns almost ready!" Gabriella called out from the kitchen, the rich smell of warm popcorn filling her senses: causing her mouth to water. Oh, it had been so long since they had a proper movie night in the lounge room! When they were little kids Emmett would rearrange the couch cushions to create a fort for them. Pondering over such joyful memories caused a smile to spread across Gabriella's face. She called over her shoulder again to her sister, "Have you decided what movie you want to watch yet?"

@transforms (hades)

summertime sunshine clings to her skin, the last remnants of the past few months fading as she descends into the darkness and shadows - a week and a half early. persephone is rarely early, but the way things are looking at the moment - bit dicey for her liking. there are plenty of gods to keep watch on the aboveground but her concern is below, far below, where there is a single god trying to protect one third of the cosmos from his bastard of a brother and father, the way rumors are starting to fly. makes her uneasy. so she's come home (and hoping her husband ain't done something foolish).

the pollen and nectar that clutch at her fades and the vibrant green of her dress darkens into a deep black silk and lace, matching the atmosphere of the underworld in one fluid motion -- but the pomegranate blossoms pinned in her hair stay vibrant and bright, a stark contrast to the world around them.

"----hades," she starts, for she doubts he's very far - especially once he realizes she's returned early. "what in the hell is going on?"

"Come on, man, don't leave me hangin' with that one," he pleaded in a tone that exemplified their camaraderie. "You can't ask me what's goin' on and me blab on and on without you sayin' something in return. That just ain't fair." There hadn't been much to share since the last time they'd met up for some drinks and catchup time. Like usual Zey mostly worked. The schedule he kept typically had him moving from one thing to the next pretty steadily. "It's a small town but we ain't boring, come on now."

"your highness, i'm afraid you cannot leave my sight. your father has entrusted me to take you to the next kingdom over." he pauses. "for your next suitor." it was uncommon for the lady to travel so far instead of the suitor, but james kept that to himself. it was supposed to be an honor to escort royalty, but he wanted to see action in the battlefield. since they were close in age, the king thought it best that james go. "do you know how to ride a horse?"

A WEEK AGO LUCY GRAY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A FORMER VICTOR,  ⠀inconspicuously delivered,  ⠀asking for her help searching for something in the outskirts of district 12.  ⠀it makes sense in theory:  ⠀the covey know district 12’s forests well,  ⠀and lucy gray knows the victor type  ⠀—  ⠀she is that type,  ⠀as much as she lacks any embrace for it.

this excursion lacked much elaboration outside of  ⠀“  ⠀i need help  ⠀(&)  ⠀i’ll pay.  ⠀”  ⠀(  ⠀AND THAT MONEY COULD GO TOWARD NEW GUITAR STRINGS  ⠀…  ⠀SHE CHERISHES HERS,  ⠀BUT THEY’VE SEEN BETTER DAYS.  ⠀)

she was provided with a compass and a map that circled the general location.  ⠀and while she used the compass sparingly,  ⠀she wanted to check and make sure the direction they were moving was correct.  ⠀and  ⠀…  ⠀it had been.  ⠀[  ⠀SO ARE THEY GOING IN CIRCLES?  ⠀]  ⠀ she furrows her eyebrows,  ⠀  glancing over at cherise.

“  ⠀ what makes you say that?  ⠀ ”  ⠀ IS THEIR COMPASS FAULTY?  ⠀ /  ⠀ IS SOMEONE TAMPERING WITH THEIR DIRECTIONS?  ⠀ while she maintains a convincing air of confidence,  ⠀  she doesn’t feel entirely safe anywhere in panem  ⠀  —  ⠀ even on the outskirts.

— closed for: ruby morrisey / @ophaeliacs. — location: honey bee tea.

Given the popularity of tea in Turkish culture Halide had been raised on it and to this day it was a beverage she consumed daily. Not simply for the routine nor taste, also for the health benefits that it provided as a regular part of her diet. The problem that morning was discovering how dangerously low her supply was when she'd gone to make her morning cup after rising somewhere around 11am. An online order would take a bit of time to reach her doorstep, there was always the option of nabbing some from her parents house in the interim, but after dressing Halide decided to check on the local tea shop to see and hope that the store carried some. What a blessing that would be.

When she'd walked into the shop the aromatics immediately crafted a smile on her face. It was only a few minutes of browsing when she'd been approached, asked if there was anything they could aide her in finding. "Do you have any Turkish tea by chance?" If not, there might be a trip to Chicago in store for her for the day after all. Which Hali had been hoping to avoid, decidedly taking a day off and not putting more miles on her pretty little sports car. "I'm almost out at home, I don't know why I didn't order before this morning, and I'm trying to circumvent going to my parents..." There was a smile with the unnecessary explanation. "This is a lovely little shop you have here. I wish I'd stopped in sooner," Hali pointed to a teapot on a shelf on display, "I started eyeing that up as soon as I walked in."

WHERE — birdsong park

"Wait, honey, before you run off let me get these for you," Noa offered as she nabbed Avie's shoe and quickly tied up the laces that had come undone. Of course the girl was old enough to take care of it for herself, it was second nature for Noa at this point as the caretaker in her took on an opportunity without thinking. When the 8 year old was off and running Noa stole the spot Avie had just vacated next to her father and glanced his way with a smile on her lips. "Gonna come by to see some drunken fish on St Paddy's Day," she teased, thinking of how festive Marineland was getting for the upcoming holiday.

"lucy goosey!" madison called out as she walked up the front steps of the hewitt residence. she was close to lucy since she worked with jj at socials. she loved lucy and the kids so she always did her best to pay the older female a visit to check up on her and to just chit chat, and talk about their day or times where madison would excuse herself to check on the triplets. "i am so excited for fall, so i was wondering if and when you're free if you could help brooklyn and i decorate our house? i know you love decorating so i figured i could ask you for help if you want to of course, i'll pay you in homemade korean food." she offered with a sweet smile.

Head tilted to the side, Nabooru considered the woman before her. Rounded ears suggested she wasn't Hylian, but her garb intrigued her more than where she hailed from. The pattern reminded her of one of the greater beasts roaming the land, ones that, even for her, a seasoned warrior, proved a challenge.

" Is that made from Lynel skin? " she asked, nodding toward her garb. " Forgive me if I'm underestimating you, but you don't see like you could take one down. At least not on your own. "
