considering nate & maggie are said to have worked together sometimes, collaborating to discover art fraud pre-leverage… i’d like to imagine that maggie has at least heard of the leverage team members in passing. she wouldn’t recognise them in a crowd, but she’s familiar with big names in the art theft & forgery world. she’d have SOME expectations of what they were like. and then in the second david job, she’s meeting them and they’re. them. like-
what she knows about parker: worlds greatest thief, seems more interested in banks but certainly an art thief, too. nate says she has a reputation for being "insane".
what she assumes about parker: probably does some great grifting to get into those museums and vaults, been a world class thief for ages so she’d be in her late 30s at least by season 1. dangerous, formidable, scary, do not approach.
what she very quickly learns about parker: is a duckling who has imprinted on her

I’m curious what the RO’s homes/bedrooms look like because I think it can tell a whole lot about someone 🤔
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. I was actually ruminating over what Sev's room/apartment, in particular, would look like the other day.
Seven's room is very dark to me. Black walls, a lot of band posters plastered everywhere. It's a mess but an organized mess. Very much what a music enthusiast's room would look like in a 2000s teen movie lol. They've never grown out of the 'fanboy/fangirl' phase so they'd just have posters all over, they have a dresser of vintage records on one side and a mirror full of photo booth pictures and photos of their life tacked to it. Their bed is never made, mostly because Seven is always in bed when they're home. Seven has clothes strewn just about everywhere but they claim to know where everything is. A lot of ripped-out pages of scrapped out song lyrics on the floor. My imagination of Seven's songwriting process is a lot of pacing, a lot of humming. They get their best ideas while doing other stuff like cleaning and cooking. Outside of their room, their apartment is also messy with a lot of novels strewn about. Seven is very sentimental so every gift they've ever gotten is on display. Their bathroom is clean but messy; just a lot of hair products and makeup everywhere. Seven's "I just rolled out of bed" look is a stylistic choice lmao
I can imagine Sev being a very annoying neighbor to have since they always have music on and they're always singing. Seven has never actually cleaned their place quickly because of all the times they stop to have a mini concert in their living room. Seven is fun when they're alone lol
Orion's is expectantly clean and very minimalist. His room is barren, a plain black bed with a metal headboard. He always has incense burning and has an air purifier and a lot of tech. Everything is spotless and there's not anything out of place. Orion's place is a lot of dark furniture, a lot of leather, and a lot of gray and white in terms of looks. He has a large glass balcony that he likes to do work on in the mornings. I imagine him to have a large closet with all just suits on one side and just...straight up black clothes on the other. Orion isn't one to wear anything colorful. His neighbors love him and want to connect with him but Orion is not interested lol More than a few times he'd come home and just plops himself on his couch and falls asleep due to how tired he was.
Sebastian's home is large but sparsely decorated. He has a big TV to play his video games on and it's what you'd think is a stereotypical young guy's place: brown couch, some video game memorabilia, and some sports stuff. He has a huge gamer computer setup he built himself. He uses it for games and for coding and general data stuff. Sebastian likes displaying all of his goodies and stuff and he doesn't touch Maya's room, which is much like Seven's in that it's super cluttered with music stuff and posters. Sebastian's house is what a default sims house looks like: nothing stylish, just generic furniture.
Victoria and G's is luxurious that leans more to anything that they like they just toss it in there. Huuuuge with plushy colorful couches and overpriced designer furniture. OH! If anyone has seen Cara Delevigne's AD...that's what their house would look like. Just chaotic everywhere with so many knickknacks and things that it's like an assault on your every single sense. Funky wallpapers, leopard rugs. A lot of that, surprisingly, is G's doing. G was very set on designing their house. They're barely home and live mostly in hotels anyway so it doesn't really matter.
August's is pretty generic; gray walls, purple bed. They live with their family (August was supposed to live with a roommate but I changed it to better fit their route) and Clare tends to be the messy one. I would say August's room is half and half, it's pretty empty but what they do have takes up a lot of space like their drum set and their huge speakers. The house is big (August's parents are pretty well-off as politicians) and very Grecian in appearance. August doesn't have much knickknacks and things like Seven. They're pretty detached to sentimental things like that. It's a very standard room, the centerpiece definitely being their drums. They have a huge computer set up, though, like a gamer set up like Seb's but they don't use it for games lmao

can you say what your interpretation of hoax is? both about the song in general and if it was inspired by her last relationship
(by last relationship i mean joe cause’ i don’t consider that other thing a rs)
we know it's about three things: a business relationship that went wrong (scott b), the loss of something that was like family (karlie), and enduring love (joe). i think the key to understanding it is understanding that these three things felt the same way to her at the time, and that at the time, she couldn't figure out why. hoax is a song about betrayal, and while initially, i think it was intended to be about betrayals that caused her a lot of pain and then the person who was the salvation from the pain, it's got shades of...something deeper there. like yes, it is about someone willing to sit there and keep believing in you even when you don't believe in yourself or that they could possibly really love you through this. it's also about that same person making you feel really defeated and hurt by not letting you do the same for them (while Other Issues are starting to rear their head). to put it plainly, it's about three betrayals, and it's only just started making sense (both to her and to us) why one felt like the others

I'm reading Glow Worms right now and I am on my knees thanking you bringing up Reigen's train trauma.
Put that man back on a train and let him deal wit his feelings!!!
Bahaha!! Yes! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ ♡ Thank you!!
Aaaah I'm so glad you're enjoying my approach to Reigen's train trauma - is it truly a post-canon fic if there isn't a small mention of the Train ordeal?
Goofs aside Im really glad you're enjoying the Ibogami Hot Springs mentions, it's a topic that crops up more than once as the fic progresses. I hope the chapters to come are just as enjoyable!
Thank you so much again for your kind words! They really help fuel my heart hehe
Best wishes! ♡

how would the ROs act in a "there's only one bed" situation while on crushing stage?
MC: "there's only one bed..."
Orion:
MC:
Orion:
MC: ???
Orion: "I'm not doing this" (spins on heel and briskly walks away, seemingly trying to find a place to sleep. if he fails, he'll sleep on the floor lmao)
—
MC: “there’s only one bed”
Seven: (shrugs, trying to remain casual even though their entire body is flaring up with nerves) “it’s not like we haven’t done it before.”
MC: “right. sleepovers."
Seven: "...yeahhhh....sleepovers..."
MC: "totally platonic two kids just sleeping over each other's houses."
Seven: "uh-huh....totally. it's just a bed."
MC: "exactly!"
As MC goes to lay down, Seven just stands there, realizing their body refuses to move because they’re that nervous.
MC: “you okay?”
Seven: “huh? Yeah, I’m…fantastic.” Their following sigh would show that they’re anything but.
Seven would just go lay down but stay frozen on their back, trying not to think about MC who is inches away. Probably stare at the ceiling all night, unable to sleep.
—
MC: “there’s only one bed”
Sebastian: (sweating profusely)
Sebastian: "oh! idea!" (Sebastian moves to start grabbing all the pillows)
MC: "what are u doing ?"
Sebastian: "making a wall of pillows to denote each side."
MC: "you don’t have to…"
Sebastian: (extra perky in order to hide his nerves) "I want to!"(Because he’d be too nervous otherwise)
—
MC: “there’s only one bed”
August: (audible throat clearing) “….just don’t hog the sheets”
August proceeds to sleep with their back turned to MC in order to stay casual.
—
MC: “there’s only one bed.”
G: *unbothered by this reality* “nice. if you wanted to sleep with me you could've just said so lol"
MC: "...that's not the case at all."
G: "sure."
MC lays in bed and turns to G: “are you coming?”
G: “depends on how this night goes.”
MC: “GINA/GRIFFIN!”
G: “kidding!” (they're not kidding)
And for those who would prefer an equally canon non-suggestive scene:
MC: “there’s only one bed.”
G: *unbothered by this reality* “nice. if you wanted to sleep with me you could've just said so lol"
MC: "...that's not the case at all."
G gets on the bed. "You don't mind legs, do you?"
MC:
MC: "what?"
Two hours later and MC is left to stay awake because G's limbs are all over them, as G is a terrible terrible bed hogger.
--
MC: “there’s only one bed.”
Victoria: (nervous) "...okay, that's okay. Um. It's fine, right?"
MC: "...are you blushing?"
Victoria: "?! Yeah, so what? Hasn't anyone told you not to point those things out?!" (Starts to grab a pillow in order to chuck it at MC)
MC: "Sorry! Sorry!"
