"Do people still buy coffee table photo books?" Naz idly picked up one of the larger books on display, a wistful look on his face. "I was thinking of maybe putting something out like this, but I'd want the risk to be worth the reward."

"Now, remind me why you didn't get to set up a medieval zoo?" Naz was touching just about everything within reach, fingers idly trailing over good and wares, as he finally turned his full attention to Frankie. "Because I think a little petting zoo would really give this place a little extra pizzazz."

“Wait - can you just pause right there?”  Naz was already pulling his camera up to his face, easily twisting the settings without needing to look.  “This is a perfect shot.  You wanna be in it?”

"Pssst," Naz sidled up to Kirby, pressing his shoulder against theirs, moving to press a small figuring into their hand. "I couldn't help it - the figure looks too much like you to not be owned by you. How many people can say they have a mini me that isn't their offspring?"

"Check this one out." Any time Naz got to spend with Elliot was heaven in its own right; but spending time when it was just the two of them? Naz wasn't entirely sure how his knees hadn't given out yet. He tried to keep his feelings close to his chest and not extremely obvious, since he wasn't entirely sure that they felt the same way, but it was a little evident how he would practically trip over himself for anything they asked. "I told you posing like a cryptid would make the photos turn out really cool."

[oflowtides]

"You're a determined one, I'll give you that," Naz leaned back, taking a deep breath. "You're right - my thinking cap has been abandoned, but back to it's rightful place on my head it goes." He mimed putting a hat on. "Okay. So. Maybe we just need to try starting over with clay that's less overworked?"

RENATA LETS OUT A SIGH at the thought of this being one of naz’s more difficult crafts , ‘ alright so — if this is the beginner’s course then i definitely agree . ‘ but she’s determined to not let some clay get in the way of what she wants to do — nothing else has stopped her , so why start now ? ‘ okay — so , let’s put our thinking caps on , get this science project going then , yeah ? '

"Pst," Naz leaned over the counter, trying to get Kirby's attention. "Yo - do you have much longer left? I'm bored." It was only part true - there was a lot of excitement and conversation floating around, and Naz could have chosen to stay at the commune and gossip, but he opted to seek out Kirby. "What can be done without electricity, anyway?"

"Wait - get a load of this crazy thing." Naz had picked up.... well, he wasn't really sure what he was holding, other than that it seemed to be similar to a flute. "I mean, it look like ye old recorder. Think kids from medieval times were tortured by being forced to learn how to play hot cross buns too?"

[oflowtides]

Already trying to think of how he was supposed to come up with the money to buy a new car, Naz nodded absently. "Well; I appreciate the fact that you're willing to give it the old college try." A brief pause before he sheepishly spoke up again. "Uhm. About a month. I just turned the radio up because I knew I wouldn't have the cash to fix it for a while."

"𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐈 like the least about my job.. telling people this shit. It's never easy." Taliah sighs with a soft smile, leaning against the car. If there was one thing she could say, the car was certainly well-loved. "Of course I'll try, I'm not one to give up on things. Especially cars." Cars were her safe place her entire life, something she knew even better than she possibly even knew herself. "When did the engine start sounding like.. that?"

[oflowtides]

"Yeah; I thought it would be fun and easy... It is definitely one of those things so far," Naz chuckled. "I have a blast every time I show up. All my creations are a little more lumpy than anyone else's, but hey, it's not really a contest, the instructor always says it's the effort that counts. And let me tell you, I am covered in clay and slip at the end so I think my efforts are pretty evident." An amused look crossed Naz's face. "I've heard of those paint and drink classes - but since I am not a middle aged lady, I haven't tried my hand at one, no. The cake decorating one sounds fun though."

❝ you have ? ❞ frannie beams at naz, suddenly feeling much more at ease with the unfamiliar surroundings of a brand new class knowing she has a seasoned veteran at her side who knows the ropes. well... maybe knows some of the ropes. she chuckles at his self-admonishing confession and shakes her head, waving off his words with a bounce of her curls and a flick of her wrist. ❝ oh, i'm sure you're just being modest, huh ? you must've made at least one nice dish or bowl or something ! ❞ the cosmetologist lets her gaze wander for a moment as more people trickle in, a smile still tugging at balm-tinted lips. ❝ me ? oh no ! but you know, i did go to a cake decorating class once, when i first started at the bakery and thought that maybe that could be, like, my thing. and those, um... have you ever been to one of those painting classes with all those middle-aged ladies and the wine and the cocktails ? those are fun. ❞

Naz still wasn't entire sure what all had happened that night. However, he wasn't exactly in a place where he wanted to believe it was real. "I don't know about a projector, but it really did feel like a scene out of some rapture movie." He finally agreed with Nattie, taking a sip of his own drink. "I mean, how else were they gonna close out the festivities of a time when people started saying the end is nigh?"

where: outside pop n' lock who: open

"I mean, it's gotta be some kinda trick, right? Like a projector. It was all part of the show. The girl comes up ranting and raving, like a witch in medieval times. The storm was just a bad coincidence, but they had it all planned." Natalie took a long drink of her milkshake to emphasize her point. "I mean, right?" She looked at her table companion pointedly.

[oflowtides]

Naz's head was still spinning from the offer, and it took him a minute to regain himself. "Earth works... yeah, okay - I think I know what you're talking about. I love to photograph landscapes in my free time, and while most of what I photograph is based in and around Notting Hill, I have a few from travels to places like Hawaii and Stone Henge, to name a few."

a hand is placed over his heart in solidarity. alexander has never really had the privilege of being a starving artist, though that doesn't exclude him from the bullshit people try to pull when they realize they can't quite afford him. greed is a hell of a drug, audacity following right behind it. “well, don't you worry your pretty head, my friend. I'll definitely pay you what you're worth. landscapes, mainly. I've recently gotten into earth works and would like something along those lines.”

[oflowtides]

"Well, hey, you can't be that much of a nightmare if you're married, right?" Naz was trying to make up for his own rude comments. "Does that actually net you a decent amount of money, or you're just so passionate about performance art you don't care?"

"Yeah, okay, thank you... I'm quite aware nothing but innuendos come out of my mouth on an hourly basis," commented Aoife with a playful roll of her eyes. "As my husband often informs me, I'm a nightmare." She chuckled again softly. "Thank you, I do my best," she answered, taking a playful bow.

[oflowtides]

"Oh - yeah, of course," Naz pulled out his phone, pulling open Instagram before handing it over. "The stuff I take for myself is a lot of landscape stuff, but sometimes I ask my friends to pose for me. Otherwise I always make sure the people hiring me sign something stating I can post their photos on my social media after a few weeks or whatever."

addy thought it was important that photographers showed off their work and they knew it was a very daunting process. "no worries, i'm happy to help" they reply with a slight shrug of their shoulders, "yeah, of course. it's always good to get advice from other people in the industry". they look at naz, "cheeky question, but can i see your photos?".

[oflowtides]

Juniper's enthusiasm was starting to rub off on Naz, and he nodded both thoughtfully and excitedly. "Oh hey - yeah I bet I could maybe gain more interest like that - I'd never thought about it before. Now I just need to go find some chickens to put hats on."

“ so why not make it happen ?? it can’t be that hard . “ grades were always near flunking in school as juniper aged , but the girl has an applied work ethic . dreams are meant to become realities . “ set up a booth at the markets and sell some prints . i’ll gladly take some commission on any chicken ones that sell . we can be boss babes together . “
