"Mav! My brother in Christ," Nora crowed, very much sloshed already, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "How's unemployment treating you, my man? It's kinda liberating, isn't it?"

"Alright, enough of this," Astrid said, nudging Mav's foot with her own as she sat down next to him on his couch. She was dressed for a run and holding two water bottles, one of which she tossed to her brother. "Welcome to unemployment, my dude. I know it's not fun, but I'm not gonna hear any moping."

"Get your good shoes on. We're going for a run. Don't worry, we'll keep it at a light 5k."

[solaadisa]

Sola had known that Maverick was her kind of person almost instantly. She'd been so nervous going into the blind date at Neptune, but it'd been a while since she'd been on a date of any kind, so she figured it was as good a time as any to try to get back out there. Mav alleviated her worries immediately, as soon as he'd been so good-natured about her awkward fist bump offering, that it'd been easy to take a breath and remind herself that she was there to have fun.

If he was funny and cute and they had an easy back and forth — well, that was just a bonus.

"It does, I promise," she reassured. "There are vegan options at Jolyani for a reason, you know. For freaks like you." She elbowed him gently, with a smile to make it clear that she was kidding.

Well. Mostly. She understood veganism on a logical and moral level, but with the way she was raised, she could say it certainly wasn't for her.

"That's a good vibe, though," she said through a mouthful of cupcake. "I mean, I mostly see old geezers coming out of Four Leaf, to be honest, but it was your birthday! Birthdays should always be celebrated. I need to track down your friend who put it together so I can get added to the list for the next one."

She finished the cupcake — two bites, that's all a cupcake ever needed — and plopped onto her back on the sand. "Yeah, Cricket and I did, like, a fancy ass dinner, which was so awesome. But I thought that it'd be good to like, get everyone together, you know? It's really just an excuse to hang."

Sola rolled onto her side and propped her head up on her hand. "What's up with you, though? Anything new in the world of Mav?"

@maverick-liu

The gift is small, but the gesture is meant to be bigger, and every bit of Maverick hopes Sola means it when she says she likes it. A cupcake, not even baked by him, but it's the thought, right?

"Gasp, Sola!" Maverick places his hand up to his chest. "Clutching my pearls as you insinuate... well, I'm not sure what it is, but you're pretending like you're revealing the monster in a campfire horror story. I'll pretend to not be offended, even if I thought our friendship meant something."

It doesn't cut at all. The jokes, the teasing, it's not the first time, and the very day they met, with Neptune's premade a la carte menu was free of charge, Sola suggested that after she could whip him up something herself. Thus, his introduction to Jolyani had commenced, and he'd already become acquainted with Sola's talent in the kitchen.

"Better not to, I didn't even throw anything for mine. My friend got a couple of us down to the Four Leaf to celebrate, but it's hard to not draw in a crowd if you're not careful. The last thing you need is a noise complaint being filed with the building manager."

Mav leans back with his left arm supporting him. The other drapes lazily across his lap. "But this? It's a good idea. The weather's just gotten nice, it would be a waste to spend it indoors."

closed event starter for @maverick-bennett activity: before the mayor's speech

Ray knew the speech by heart. Over the last several years, he had given this speech about the town founder at each Founder's Festival and before him, his mother did it growing up. It was engraved in his brain at this point, but he still liked to go over it just in case. He was reading over some of the words as he walked around the park, enjoying the early morning air, when he spotted Maverick. It had been a minute since he saw the man and decided to make his way over to him. "Maverick. You're up early." He commented with a tight smile.

Prudence had been strategically coming in and out of the trailer park over the last few weeks to avoid Maverick. And Summer since she had seen her sister coming in and out of Maverick's place here and there. It made her hate being so close to him when she used to enjoy it, but not now. Not after her interaction with her sister and she wasn't ready to have that conversation with Maverick. Quentin was one thing and she had the angry voicemail from her father. Why did she have to have these connections with people in her sister's life? It'd be easier if she didn't care about Maverick. About Quentin. It'd make just leaving her house so much easier. Like now, she knew Maverick was home. She saw him while she was making some coffee. She had to be at work ands he waited until he was inside before she went out and started trying to start her car. It had been acting up with the cold weather like it always did and she sat there trying to turn it over, but it wasn't giving. She looked up when she saw movement and she tried more and more to start the car, but it kept stalling and she hit the steering wheel hard out of frustration. "Motherfucker."

Silence typically drew in the wrong kind of company, but there was still a hum between Roman and Maverick that didn't allow it to become a void of take, and take, and take. An understanding had settled between the two that they challenged the endurance of with every chance, and every few words they awarded the other. They faced similar altercations over again in the name of some sickly defined sense of not just being better, but being the best.

Roman pulled himself upright, dull lighting angled away from Maverick for a moment as he pondered the weight of his confession. The water jumping over the porcelain and echoing every motion erased the grace he was notorious for. Ache settled in now, breath trapped by gritted teeth as he tried to find comfort, and Roman succumbed to the water again.

"Dancing like that." The remorse was beyond them. They'd always been two pawns in different games, but always bound to aboard elsewhere. At least here, in each other's company, there was no game to abide by whether it was rules or ambition. Unspoken tethered them together for a mutual victory. "They keep telling me that if I don't give it up, I'm gonna have even less time doing anything like that at all. Every time I push myself like that, it's one last chance to get it right. I would just rather take all my chances and put them to use than just watch someone else do it for me. Would you give it all up because someone said you could live a longer, mundane life?"

some  compare  athletes  to  artists  of  the  likes  of  da  vinci.  learning  to  flex  every  muscle  in  the  body  in  the  most  particular  ways,  to  garnish  the  most  specific  moments?  it  was  art.  maverick  would  tell  any  foolish  unaware  person  that  the  way  roman  carried  himself  on  stage  was  art,  and  crowds  of  people  would  agree.  it’s  exactly  why  watching  roman  perform  is  akin  to  drinking  fresh  spring  water.  they  understood  each  other,  he  liked  to  think.  the  sacrifices  both  mentally  and  physically  one  had  to  make  to  strive  for  greatness  was  not  easy.  

the  motion  of  his  chest  is  faint,  shallow  breaths  are  hardly  audible.  his  palms  had  been  tracing  roman’s  forearms  instinctively  by  now.  simply  operating  on  autopilot,  doing  what  felt  right.  maverick  doesn’t  need  to  ask  roman  what  he’s  thinking  about,  it’s  plain  as  day.  the  many  times  he’d  limped  from  the  ice  after  laying  his  soul  atop  the  frigid  surface.  only  to  abhor  himself  for  missing  the  slightest  move  that  could  have  completely  won  over  the  judges.  but  entangled  in  roman’s  grasp,  it  matters  naught.  “  you  could  regret  every  night,  if  you  really  wanted  to.  ”  god  knows  regret  followed  him,  lingering  around  like  an  ugly  shadow.  “  what  exactly  do  you  regret  on  nights  like  this?  ”

GPN-002 "Asuka"

Station: 01st Unit "Unicorns" - special investigations unit assigned to high profile Maverick related incidents

[atticuscortes]

He wouldn't have put it past Maverick to actually be wearing pearls. That seemed like the sort of gift a high profile celeb would offer up without thought; maybe a regift if they had one pair too many. Personally Atticus would have preferred a bonus or some extra vacation time, but...

"Fuck you man, you started it!"

If things were already dissolving to this level of animosity less than half an hour into being stranded, the odds of both roommates making it back to civilization were slim.

The rest stop a few miles back was as good a start as any, though Atticus is reluctant to admit as much lest Maverick used it to inflate his own sense of usefulness.

"Fine." He pockets his cell phone and wallet turned temporary paper weights, only able to watch as a gust of dry summer breeze whisks the map off the hood and across the barren stretch of highway. It's just as helpful to them in the wind as it had been while in their grasp, but it still feels like such a final fuck you from the universe that Atticus couldn't do anything else but laugh.

"That's $4.25 we're never getting back."

Perhaps the least of their worries just then.

"Okay, pick me, was that just your way of trying to get me to say that you're pretty too?" But Atticus does tug his tank top off from the back of his neck before tucking it into his back pocket. "I'm taking it off because I'm hot, by the way. Not because you told me to."

The same couldn't be said for the thumb he begrudgingly sticks out as they begin to double back from where their car had ultimately crapped out on them.

"Who's the useful one now?" In case Maverick was under any other illusion, Atticus is quick to supply, "still me."

@maverick-liu

Maverick gasps in offense, his hand up to grab the collar of his shirt. "Clutching my pearls over that one, Atti. Take it back!"

He's useful. He is so useful. That's his whole job: being useful.

Granted, it's in all other ways that don't include fixing a car with a stalled engine or survival skills, but he can figure this out. California desert isn't that hard to navigate, and it isn't like the main roads spiderweb into a constant maze made of asphalt and faded yellow paint. It's just hot and dry and there's probably coyotes-

"There was a stop a few miles back, wasn't there? The walk's gonna suck, but they have to have wifi or service or something, and we can go there, call Triple-A and get a lift back to town. That's a good starting point."

See? Useful. The man with a plan because that stupid map is worn and very well could've come out of a story book.

"Take your shirt off and stick your thumb out. You're the pretty one, you can hitch us a ride to the gas station."

Nathaniel smiled as he walked into the auto shop and saw Maverick there. He was stopping in like he usually did to the local businesses and knowing Maverick was working there, he wanted to stop in and see the man. "Maverick." He said with a smile as he waved to him and walked over. "How's it going?"

[brokenwiingss]

Task: 001

001. what is your full name?

Sasha Romero

002. what is your parents names? (what was their occupation?)

My dad's name is Marcelo Romero. He was construction worker. My mother? Don't know, don't care.

003. do you have any allergies, diseases or other physical weaknesses?

Nope, im as healthy as a horse

004. write a full physical description of yourself. you might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.

Im about 5'5 and 125 pounds. I'm half Mexican, half Irish. I've got dark brown hair and eyes. My style would be cute casual i guess? I have one minimalist tattoo on my ribs of two hands holding onto each other. It represents my dad and i.

005. to which social class did you belong in before the outbreak?

working class

006. are you right- or left-handed?

right

007. what does your voice sound like?

Uh not sure how i would decribe it.

008. what words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?

I use fuck a lot. babe here and there too. Oh and stop being a little bitch and grow a pair.

009. what was your first kiss like and with who?

not good, and someone from my sophomore year of high school.

010. do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? are you in love right now?

I did until i got screwed over. I am not in love, dont think i will be anytime soon.

011. how do you feel about marriage?

Was against it at first, then met someone who changed my mind and now im not sure.

012. who are / is your best friend? what do you like about them?

Maverick is my best friend. He's open, honest and hilarious. @collapseqz

013. when was the last time you were hurt? who did it?

A few months ago when i got shot in the leg but a fucking idiot of a soldier. Unless we are talking about heart break, dont even get me started.

014. talk about one person you've met recently and what did you think of them?

I met a woman named Thalia. She's gorgeous and knows how to have fun.

015. would you say that you're more of a leader or a follower?

hmmm it depends on the situation i guess.

016. when was the moment you really realized that the outbreak wasn't going away? that your life was completely changed? if you were a kid, when do you think you realized you grew up?

When more and more people got infected, i knew it wasn't ending any time soon. My life changed when i had to leave home without a choice so i could survive. When i had to start taking care of myself more.

017. what's your weapon of choice?

A gun, its good to keep a distance between you and whoever you're up against.

018. what do you look for in a partner? or describe what your dream partner would be like? what do they look like? what color is their hair? how tall are they? what's their attitude like? be descriptive.

Why do questions about my love life keep coming up? I guess my dream partner would be someone whose funny, easy to get along with. Genuine and kind, someone who knows what they want. Looks? They'd be tall with a great body. i dont really care about hair color but if i had to choose, dark hair. I'd like someone taller than me. Taller than 5'8 is preferred. And their attitude, positive, calm. Kind of the opposite of me because im already a lot.

019. what are you afraid of? tangible and unavoidable? (tangible: spiders, ghosts, snakes / unavoidable: aging, dying)

Tangible, i dont like rats. Unavoidable, i guess dying alone. I would like to spend my last moments with someone.

020. what is your worst memory?

Finding my dad dead in his bed.

021. What is your favorite memory?

Backpacking through Europe. Got to explore so much, meet new people and try new foods.

022. what’s your reputation with the people around you. do they like you? dislike you? why?

Uh i guess it's good. Im very social so its not hard to befriend people. I would hope they like me though. If anyone doesn't like me, then fuck them.

023. if you could relive one memory, one last time which would it be?

My dad and I on Christmas morning, making cookies, opening gifts then going to see the Christmas lights.

024. when you were a kid were you bullied or teased? for what?

I wasn't because i wouldn't let anyone bully or tease me. I fought a lot when i was younger.

025. if you could tell your younger self something, what would it be?

That'll be okay and youre gonna be such a boss ass bitch. That there is nothing to be afraid of.

026. what is a goal you want to accomplish before you die?

To be honest, i dont know if i have a goal. I use to say to have a family. married with a child so i could give them a better life but im not bringing a child into this fucked up world.

027. if you could pick anyone in town to tell your life story, who would it be and why?

Hmm Sebastian for sure. He's kind and i know he'd be a great listener. He also has something about him that puts you at ease and makes you feel...safe i guess i would put it. @instinctsqz

028. do you believe there is or could be a cure to be made? and do you think that it could restore humanity?

if there was, it would've been done by now and maybe it could restore humanity but i'm not holding my breath.

029. if the outbreak never happened, what would you have wanted to do for a living?

I'd probably be a detective.
