"Nina!" Keo calls out as he quickens his pace to catch up to her, gaining on her before she had a chance to slip out of his eyeline and away from a conversation he feels like neither of them want to have but neither can avoid.

"Slow down. I need you to tell me what the hell is going on."

He has an inkling from what he had overheard when he had last been at his mom's, but the woman had been a vault since and the only other source he could implore for answers was his cousin.

"What was your artistic vision with it?" He asks, unable to discern what the objective of the pumpkin was just from looking at her efforts.

Ziggy reaches over then and taps on the top of her pumpkin with the top of his carving knife, the sound audible from the hollowness of the inside of the botanical fruit.

"I'm finding that expression hard to read."

@ninaxgray

"Hey, you asked for my opinion."

"I never intended for it to look happy." Jack-o-lanterns were supposed to be scary, right? What was the point of carving a cute looking pumpkin? Halloween implied things were supposed to look spooky.

“ guess who actually bought a new shirt “ Spencer teased as soon as he saw his best friend and offered her a smile. His lack of wanting to wear clothing and need to never want to do laundry was a contentious topic in their friendship and he knew it would be funny to bring up. “ do you wanna see what Amelia looks like? I swear she’s real”

Jethro leaned back against the counter, crossing his arms as a playful smile curved his lips. “I was just thinking of testing out a new dessert for the holidays. You game to be my taste-tester?”

Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed a notebook from the counter and flipped it open, muttering to himself as he scanned the ingredients. “How do you feel about chestnuts, white chocolate, and cranberries?”

"Except for when you're wrong, I assume?" Uly jokes, though not much feels funny at the mention of her mother's name. Or aunt's name. The whole thing sort of made his head hurt so he couldn't imagine what kind of effect it was having on her. His own mother managed to cause him strife and he had never known the woman other than in childlike imaginings that he knew now were pointless.

He ashes the cigarette on ground beside him before he offers it back to Nina.

"Makes sense. Looks like it was intentional now with the both of us here in the dirt. We getting up soon?"

@ninaxgray

"I'm very rarely wrong about anything." A humoured scoff leaves her lips. Despite being against the overplayed fallacy, she did often imagine finding a place somewhere in the world where she'd fit in. Like a final puzzle peace of a masterpiece. "Yeah, I was thinking about Wynona." She nods.

"But i'm only down here 'because 'cus I tripped. Waiting for my ego stop being a little bitch about it."

"Yeah, whatever." Jackson turned away from the person he had just been talking to, if you could call it that. It was more so he said hi and they gave him a dirty look. He should be used to it by now especially if it was because of his father. He couldn't blame anyone for their hatred of him.

He let out a deep breath that he had taken it as he turned towards the person who was opposite of the other person. "So, how's your night going?" He asked the stranger.

Since she had the afternoon off of work (and so far no plans with Spencer) Amelia decided to let the intrusive thoughts win as she walked her way into the tattoo parlor. Maybe one day she'd get inked, but for not she'd do with getting stabbed. "Hey, you have any availability for a piercing? I was thinking of getting a helix cuff? Or maybe a third lobe piercing...I dunno. Suggestions?"

ABOUT

Jared was the result of a sordid love affair that occured over the summer of 1993. His father had come over to the States on a gap year, and had ended up crossing paths with his mother whilst perusing Aurora Bay as a last stop. It was a crazy romance that ended with his return to Marseille, France, and her pregnant with a baby boy.

Jared didn't grow up knowing much of his father, he'd receive postcards and letters, but Adrien had only ever visited a handful of times. The last being when he was just ten years old. It wasn't until he was older and able to gain his own income, that he was able to seek out his father in France and rekindle their connection. However, it was a long journey to get to that.

Jared wasn't the smartest kid in school, and took on the role as a typical jock. He was more interested in American Football than adding numbers or finding out about history of the world. He had the outlook that he didn't need to know that stuff when he'd be playing in the Super Bowl.

He was considered an 'asshole' in high school, except he had the armor of being one of the school's top athletes for it to be allowed to slide. He never intentionally meant to come across that way, but he was sarcastic in nature and a joker at times, he never wanted to take life too seriously and would openly act frivolous around those stressing about grades and exams, and being unable to relate.

When he was on the field, he'd be often on the hood of his car smoking a joint, or out on the beach, surfing the waves. If he had to pick, his love of the water came before his love of the game. Although, as it was reminded to him by his peers, a surfboard wouldn't get him into college, unless he wanted to become a labelled professional - which, in his eyes, would have taken all the fun out of it for him. He didn't want his escape to become a chore.

At home, Jared always felt overlooked by his mother. Perhaps, it was due to her lifestyle and the excessive amount of children coming and going all the time. But he rarely stayed in the house, unless it was a requirement, to watch his siblings, etcerea. He was very protective of them though, and would often try and act like a second father sometimes, rather than an annoying brother. He'd always look out for them, and make sure their needs were met, and that they were never overlooked.

Somehow, he got through high school (with the help of some more intelligent and driven kids) and was able to earn himself a scholarship to UC, Berkeley to play for the California Golden Bears. There was no way he'd be going anywhere on his just average grades.

He decided to major in the Spieker Undergraduate Business Program, because nothing else even remotely interested him. It was through this that he learned basically that he could make himself a lot of money, with very little effort - if he played the game right.

His dreams of playing in the Super Bowl started to fade, and American Football became more of a past time, as he became invested in learning about what he could business and management-related. Jared Taylor, CEO, had a nice ring to it.

He invited his father to his graduation, but he never attended - neither did his mother, and he likes to believe that perhaps she was busy or simply forgetful, having her hands full with his siblings. Although, he often thinks about how he'd marked it on the family calendar, drawing circles around the date in red biro.

Jared returned to Aurora Bay, and couldn't bare to live back in that overcrowded house with his mother and siblings. He got himself a job through a Graduate scheme over Culver City, California, and saved up enough to be able to buy a rundown house in Seabrook Quarter, Aurora Bay. He slowly started to gut the place and do it up himself, very slowly, with every paycheck going on something new each month for the house.

Eventually, when he was settled, he noticed the old Surf Shack had gone up for sale. He so desperately wanted to get back into his surfing, and wondered if it was time to put his business degree to use. After much deliberation, he purchased the building and rebranded it as Surf's Up.

He's a fairly laid back owner, and he trusts those he hires to do their jobs, but also come to him with any issues. He sees his employees as family and nothing less, he'd fight to the death for them as he would his own siblings.

" Oh man she keeps me on my toes. Like I have some good friends in my life, but I think because she's my best friend she sort of gets away with more than others do. Like she could steal my tv and walk out of the room with it and I'd be like " okay fair". I don't think she would do that though, I'm just saying that like her and I are so cool with one another she could do anything and I'd still think the world of her" @ninaxgray
