🎃 for our muses to wander around the pumpkin patch.

Lyssa sipped her coffee, carefully stepping over a pumpkin that had rolled into the patch’s path as Delia J did the same beside her. It was nice, enjoying a beautiful fall afternoon like this with her roommate, although they’d been quieter than usual as they scanned the pumpkins, each too lost in thought about their cottage’s decorations to chatter on endlessly like they normally did. Or at least, Lyssa was lost in those thoughts -- but finally she paused, crouching down next to a pumpkin with a particularly large stalk sticking out of the top of it. “I think this one would look really cute if I put a costume on it, right? Like Anne of Green Gables the pumpkin? It just seems better than carving them, they die so fast that way and I’d rather enjoy them for a long time without having to worry about dead pumpkin smell.”

PUPPY POWER → KELIA

TAGGING → Delia J Milori (@deliajubilee) & Kale Gigglebottom

TIMELINE → Friday, November 9, 2017

SETTING → Some kind of Walt animal shelter

SUMMARY → Kale and Delia J get a puppy.

Kale walked through the streets of Walt with his hands jammed in his pockets. For someone who was about to get a dog, he wasn't nearly as excited as he'd been the night before -- the knowledge that DJ had been keeping secrets from him, whether on purpose or not, had him feeling kind of down. Still, a deal was a deal, and he did really want a dog. Maybe he even needed one now that he'd been totally demoted in his friend trio. He finally came to a stop in front of the animal shelter, leaning against a wall and pulling out his phone to look up cool names for dogs instead of peering around while he waited for Delia J.

DJ skated to the animal shelter faster than she ever did on rollerskates, since for the first time ever she wasn't half focused on listening to some educational podcast, and instead tried to get to the shelter before Kale did. He was already mad at her for not letting him in on the Lux secret as soon as she'd told Alicia, so she didn't want to make it worse by making him wait outside too long for her. Unfortunately, by the time she slowed to a stop in front of the building, Kale was already there leaned against a wall looking at something on his phone. "Hi Kale!" She cried out exuberantly, taking a running jump into giving him a giant over the top hug to make up for her tardiness and also to hopefully make him feel loved enough to get over the accidental slight. "Are you excited about meeting our new puppy!" She chirped excitedly, looking up at Kale with her best attempt at an adorable smile, mentally refusing to remove her arms from around his body until he returned it.

Kale glanced up at the sound of his name; even if he hadn't been expecting her, he would have recognized the sound of DJ's voice anywhere. His instinctual grin spread across his face as she flung himself at him in a hug, although it faltered a little when he remembered that she was only acting like she loved him because she'd totally forgotten to tell him about her fake boyfriend. Still, he hugged her back, his arms draping loosely around her as he said, "Yeah, I was just looking up named and stuff. I'm guessing Hammerhead's not allowed, either? Although it sounds like one syllable names are better anyway, but Hammerhead would be so badass and make people scared for our dog to headbutt them," he pointed out, pulling back from the hug and offering her a tight-lipped smile.

DJ frowned at Kale's lukewarm reaction to her greeting and rolled back reluctantly, crossing her arms against her chest. "No shark names at all, Kale. This is a dog we're sharing and puppy headbutts are cute." She said trying to say what she meant sternly, but not as mean as she typically would've. "Let's name him something actually cute, okay? But like I told you, we're not naming him until we meet him, so let's go in already." She said, uncrossing her arms and reaching out to grab Kale's hand to pull him along inside.

Kale sighed but accepted the defeat; if he argued too much DJ would probably just forget to tell him more important stuff in her life, like that their dog ran away while she was watching it or that she was married or something. "Fiiiiine, no shark names. Unless he's got like, a built in mohawk that looks like a shark fin," he added in jest, letting DJ pull him inside. His mood was instantly forgotten, though, at the sounds of tiny yips and tails thumping against crates the second they walked in. The puppies were excited to have visitors, and he was excited to meet them -- maybe too excited! It would be hard to pick just one, but DJ might be better at narrowing it down than him. For now, he just crouched down at the first puppy he saw, saying, "Hey, little guy! Are you a guy? Oh, wait, crap, no, you're a girl, we don't want one of you, sorry!" He patted the little white fluffy dog's head gently through the bars and then stood back up, saying, "Guess I better let you take the lead, you'll probably find the right one on the first try."

DJ skated away from Kale to look around almost as soon as he stopped to bend down for just one puppy. Hearing the little excited yips from all the puppies in crates had DJ racing around at top speed trying to look at every barking dog. So it was almost laughable when Kale had stood up to say that she could probably find the right one in the first try, because at that point she was looking at dog number four. "Uh I guess so. But question, are we only getting one dog? Because there are like three that I want to take home right now." She replied, skating across the room to stare at a particularly bouncy black mutt barking at her.

Kale raised his hand to cover a laugh, although DJ had a point... there were two of them, and she had a sister and he had a half-sister and they had Alicia and... "How many people do you think we could convince to get in on the puppy action? Because we could totally get one puppy per person, so with you and me and Alicia we can get AT LEAST three," he suggested. "I mean, we have separate cottages, it would be sad if we had to split time or if I had to like, move into your house part time instead of hanging out at my way cooler house." He stuck his tongue out at her, watching her skate off towards the black puppy but crouching beside a spotted one that he didn't think was a dalmatian instead. "Okay, little guy, these are my fingers, if you manage to lick my thumb first you're the puppy for us," Kale whispered, resorting to desperate measures to try and pick. The puppy licked his pinky instead, though, and he felt disappointed as he walked over to DJ's dog instead. "How's this one doing? Does he seem like a keeper? Do you think he'd be good at catching a tennis ball?" Kale asked, trying to think of other ways to judge the doggos instead of just cuteness since ALL of them were cute.

DJ giggled, not even a hundred percent if she was even joking about actually getting multiple dogs. She really did want to take a bunch of them home, not even splitting them up between houses." DJ left the black dog to go love on some of the other dogs in cages, but it didn't take that long for her to drift back to the black one. "This one is definitely a keeper. I don't care if he can catch a ball or not. I'm naming him Salem and he's mine." She answered with absolutely certainty, practically vibrating out of her skates as she reached through the bars to pet the puppy that immediately started licking her hand instead of letting her pet him.

Kale had thought the one that Delia J was crouching near was cute, but as she'd wandered to give other puppies a chance, he'd found a little brown puppy with a white face and old man whiskers. It looked so funny, his old face and his obviously young body, but he perked up when Kale was with him and it was so hard to walk away from him, even when Delia J started saying that the black one was the puppy for her. "But... Salem needs a friend, right?" he asked as he walked over to her and the puppy, casting a glance backwards towards the little beardy boy instead. "It would be so lonely if it was just you and me and Salem and he didn't have any other dogs to play with like, at the dog park or when we're in class and stuff, right?" he added hopefully. He knew the plan had been to get one dog, but... two was okay, right?

DJ didn't really look over at Kale when he found another dog. She was too busy loving on her new baby boy and trying to guess how fast she and Salem could probably go if she skated during walks/runs. "I don't know, Kale." DJ replied distantly, not even really aware that Kale was coming up behind her as her words started sounding more like coos to the dog than actually part of their conversation. "Salem might not feel super special if we get more than one dog at a time. And he's such a special little boy, I think he should come alone. Maybe you can back another time and get him? Like with Leesh or Aspen so you guys can bond better?"

Kale started to pout when DJ said that they shouldn't get more than one dog at a time after all, but he crouched down beside her and the little dog instantly licked him, and the poor beardy pup was instantly forgotten. "Awww, hey little dude!" Kale cooed at the puppy, suddenly understanding why Delia J was such a fan of this guy in particular. He had so much energy, but in the way that made a person smile instead of groan at having to keep up. And instead of casting glances backwards at the other puppy, he just muttered, "Yeah, that sounds good, doesn't it, buddy? You'll get a new friend when you're ready for it, right now you just get to know your brand new parents instead!" He turned to DJ, his eyes hopeful as he asked, "Are you sure I can't give him a shark-y middle name, at least?"

delia & victor | sex ◕‿◕✿ | this is the 'last' time

                          —for these two the last time was never the last time.            both of them have been at this time after time, but then again who was           counting? delia couldn't really say she was; she would attempt to keep           score in the beginning but that was long forgotten. they had as many           steamy nights as she had showers, and she always told herself that            she was getting it out of her system, that after it all she would be done            with him for good. sighing and attempting to clear her thoughts, she made           her way out of the bathroom, hair leaving a trail of water behind her. and           there he was, just sitting on her bed as if he owned it. she would have           rolled her eyes, but at the pace she was going lately, they would have            popped out of their sockets. she opted for a sigh, and made her way to           the small mahogany dresser on her bedside.  “ remind me to take           those keys back. ”                                               but she wont ask again for another week.           the towel she's holding onto will be slipping soon, but it is after all the           least of her worries. he'd seen her naked plenty of times, and instead           of her yes, he rather stare at her...eyes. it was nothing new.

PILLOW TALK → LIFELONG PALS

TAGGING → Alicia Sourplum (@aliciasourplum), Delia J Milori (@deliajubilee), & Kale Gigglebottom

TIMELINE → Sunday, October 8

SETTING → 1113 Wizard Way

SUMMARY → Alicia, Delia J, and Kale catch up on their homecoming night adventures.

Alicia was sitting cross-legged in her room, opposite from Kale and DJ across from her. She had called them all together to hear about each of their nights, and mostly to dish on her own since her experience chaperoning the Homecoming dance proved to be more than eventful. She pushed the bowl of popcorn she'd made toward whoever was closest to her, leaning back against the side of her bed. "Okay, so I have a Homecoming story, but I'm pretty sure mine is the best so I'll let you two tell me about your nights first."

DJ took some of the popcorn from the bowl Alicia had passed her and dumped a handful of it into the little space she had in lap of her dress thanks to also sitting crosslegged on the bed, then passed the rest on over to Kale before shrugging at Alicia. "Not that eventful. Some stuff happened, some people got crowned, the guy Kale told to take me, just stood in a corner all night like a weirdo so I ended up dancing with Lux. So it turns out I really wasn't missing anything by graduating early. Who knew? Oh wait, I did." She replied, pointedly rolling her eyes at Kale before shoving popcorn into her mouth.

Kale shrugged innocently at Delia J's description of her night, protesting, "But you danced with somebody, right? Baz is cool, he just... takes some getting to know him. You shoulda talked about how he's a better bag boy than me! Or about salad," Kale suggested, shoving a whole handful of popcorn in his mouth as he tried to think of how to tell them about his night instead. Neither one had taken it the best when he'd suddenly started talking about how cool his roommate was, so he stalled, saying, "Everyone had fun, right? Because if anybody didn't have fun -- " he said, pointedly glaring at DJ -- "then I'm throwing popcorn at them, and it's too delicious, we shouldn't waste it."

Alicia listened to Delia J downplay her night as if her not jumping from one date to the other wasn't a big deal. "Two boys in one night? Our little princess is growing up," She teased. "Okay, as the person who's had the most relationship experience in this room, I can firmly say that talking about salad is not a mood setter." She shook her head, her attention turning fully to Kale. "I had fun." She smirked, "I had so much fun I ended up sleeping with that super hot girl, Emma." She was only slightly gloating, since she hadn't really done much since breaking up with Freddie, and Emma actually was super attractive. "Maybe we should've gone to school dances more often."

DJ glared at Alicia's teasing and threw one kernel of popcorn at her. "It wasn't like that. Lux was just being nice to me because something happened with his date too. And I didn't have to have been in a relationship before to know that salad and bagging with Kale would've been terrible to talk about." She giggled while continuing to eat her popcorn. "That's great for you and all, Leesh but you didn't sleep with her in here, did you?"

Kale raised his hands up in defeat, saying, "Fine, fine, but Baz is like weird-cool! It would have at least been common ground to start on," he said, although as long as DJ wasn't pissed at him he really wasn't invested in whether or not the two of them hit it off. He'd find other backup friends for DJ -- or apparently, she'd find them all on her own if she was hanging out with Lux now without anyone else there to make her. He was quickly distracted, though, when Alicia said she'd hooked up with a hot girl at the dance -- while DJ reacted with worry that the bed was tainted, Kale raised his hand up for a fist bump, excitedly blurting out, "Hell yeah, homecoming sex is the best sex!" as if tonight wasn't the first time he'd had sex in his whole entire life and he had something to compare it to.

Alicia shook her head when Delia J asked if she'd had sex in the bed she was sitting on. "No, at Homecoming. I wasn't doing much chaperoning," She admitted. She raised her hand to fist bump Kale back and was halfway through the process when she realized what Kale said. "Wait, how would you know? What did you do last night?" She asked incredulously, not really believing anything more than Kale just being a supportive friend.

DJ wrinkled her nose at Kale's idea of common ground and then immediately managed to spill a fistful of popcorn into her dress when Kale started trying to fist bump Alicia over homecoming sex. Delia J could comment on the fact that Alicia had been having sex at the dance later. "You have sex?!" She screeched, shooting up from her crosslegged position on the bed to more of a kneeling one, mostly to shake the popcorn out of her clothing but also because she was way too shook to just sit still.

Kale tried to glare at Delia J, but he never could stay truly annoyed with her, even when she kept seeming shocked that any girl would want anything to do with him. "I do now!" he informed her, snickering at the popcorn that was now spilled all over her. "While you guys were dancing I stayed home and hung out with Dana last night, I told you she was awesome," he insisted, grinning like an idiot now that it was out in the open and he could share in it with his best friends... sort of. "Can I get the rest of my fist bump now? This is like, kinda a big milestone for me!"

Alicia kept her fist mid-air, her eyebrow quirking up in surprise, "You hung out with her or you hung out with her?" She asked, putting the emphasis on the reiteration. She barely even noticed that Delia J had just spilled popcorn all over herself and the bed, more concerned that she was about to overshadowed by Kale of all people. Reluctantly, she finished the first bump with Kale before dropping her hand in her lap. "Details, dude! Delia J about peed her pants over there, you can just leave us hanging with that bit of information!"

DJ rolled her eyes at Kale as she tried her best to shake out the popcorn and pay attention at the same time. "Don't look at me like that! You never ever talk about girls like that for our entire friendship and suddenly you're doing all the things with a girl Alicia and I haven't even approved of!" Then picking up some of the popcorn that had fallen out, she tossed it at Alicia before turning to Kale. "I did not just about pee my pants. I'm cool. But yeah, non-gory details please!"

Kale grinned stupidly at his two friends, saying, "Definitely the second one! She just like texted me the other day and asked if I thought it was chill for roommates to have sex, and duh, of course the answer's yes." Kale didn't even think twice about all the ways that could potentially blow up in his face later, he was too busy being on cloud nine about losing his virginity the night before. "So then you guys were busy with the dance and there was like, no chance anybody else would need me last night, so we did it. DJ, how about a high five?" Kale asked, holding his hand out towards her this time and ignoring the comment about Dana not being Delicia-approved.

Alicia felt like she'd just received news that the bug problem back home had ceased. It was almost too good of a story to be true. "I side with Delia J on this one! We didn't even get a good approval time! What if she's a crazy person! You just lost your v-card to her!" She turned her head to look at Delia J, "You're welcome for me actually agreeing with you, by the way."

DJ gasped at Alicia's statement and nodded her head repeatedly in agreement. "Yeah, you totally could've given your virginity to a psychopath." She exclaimed, shoving her hand into her bra and pulling out a handful of popcorn that she immediately slapped into Kale's hand. "You get a real high five when we know you're not banging a crazy. So only Alicia gets a high five for being agreeable."

Kale wrinkled his nose at his friends, not that surprised that they couldn't be happy for him without trying to throw wrenches in things. "Well, if she's a psychopath I can just hide out at one of your houses until her or her cool criminal-mastermind alien dad find me, no biggie," Kale told them, looking at the bra-popcorn in his hand and not quite sure what to do with it. Finally, he just crawled towards the edge of Alicia's bed so he could drop it in the trash, then turned back to them and promised, "But if she were crazy she's had like two months to murder me already, so we're probably good."

Alicia held up her hand to high-five Delia J. It was one of the few times they ever actually really agreed on anything that wasn't just one of them finally conceding to shut the other one up. "Okay, well, was it good at least? If you're gonna get murdered you might as well get good roommate sex out of it while you can." She crossed her arms over her chest, "I can't believe that you're sleeping with your roommate. Are you trying to go balls to the wall for college? Delia J, are you going to walk around the streets topless next?"

DJ smacked her palm against Alicia's and stuck out her tongue out at Kale. "People can go crazy after sex, Kale. Haven't you seen like..any movie about a psycho ex ever? I'm pretty convinced it's something in the exchange of bodily fluids." DJ blinked for a second before squinting questioningly at Kale. "Speaking of which, how long did you last? You probably won't die if you only lasted like a minute since you wouldn't be something to fight for." Then Alicia got some dress popcorn thrown at her as well. "Unlike you two deviants, I don't intend on going balls to anything so my top will be staying on in college, thank you very much."

Kale stumbled over his words, not sure how to reply to Alicia's comment since he didn't have any other sexual experience to compare to. "I mean, it was sex, isn't it all awesome?" he asked her uncertainly, then wondered aloud, "Who was better for you, Freddie or Emma?" His face turned bright red at DJ's comment, though, insisting, "I don't think I was like as bad as you think I was! I mean, I totally Googled tips for how to last as long as possible before we did it, I had like advance notice it was gonna happen!" he assured her. "And I'm not going balls to the wall, just like... balls deep in my roommate, as long as she wants me to," he shrugged, countering, "You can totally do more crazy fun stuff if you want to, though, we won't judge!"

Alicia held up her hand to physically block Kale's question. "We're not talking about me, Kale. This conversation has turned to be purely about you and your newfound fiendish actions," She thought for a moment, "Although, if having sex with Kale's roommates is going to be a thing, I call Massie. Just putting it out there." She dropped her hand, and pretended to throw up when Kale made the balls deep comment. "So are you guys like dating now or is this strictly a roommates with benefits situation?" She turned her attention back to Delia J, "Wait, why Lux of all people? I never thought you'd go for the type to run for any kind of office, Princess."

DJ cringed so hard at the idea of them all sleeping with Kale's roommates and shook her head hard. "I call dibs on not being involved at all because that's actually super gross." Then once she understood Kale's balls deep comment, she tried her absolute HARDEST to shove him off of the bed. "I already miss the days when Kale was basically an asexual little Hammerhead Shark. Because this is way too gross. Plus, if you think I'm going to ever do anything crazy just for the sake of it, I'm going to be forced to assume that your brains were literally fucked out." She said, cringing again at the visual of her own words, before answering Alicia. "I'm not going for anyone. Lux was literally just right there being alone at the dance too. It's not a big deal."

Kale made a fake-fart noise of disapproval at Delia J's comment, saying, "But Fab is cool! And totally single right now, and if you guys were hooking up with them I could see you even more often than I do now -- except you might like them more than you like me, so never mind, this plan is cancelled!" Kale decided, grabbing DJ's hands in his as she tried to push him off the bad and holding them still until he thought she might stop shoving, then released them. "Oh man, I would totally trade sex to get a chance to be an actual shark, but since there's no magic in Walt sex is totally the next best thing!" He shrugged apologetically at DJ saying that it was gross, turning back to Alicia with... just another shrug. "I don't know, we didn't talk about dating, we just like... got high afterwards instead. If this is what dating's like I'd totally do it, though!" he said, letting the attention shift back to Delia and her night hanging out with Lux instead.

Alicia laughed loudly, "I can't believe Kale got laid once and now he's sex's biggest advocate. Did you have to ask her for a condom or did you happen to have some lying around?" She felt like her head was about to explode with all this new information, "You smoked?! You're wild. Truly." She grabbed whatever was left in the popcorn bowl and popped it in her mouth. "So much happened that night. We did good, fam." She held up her hands to both of them looking for one more group high five.

DJ pouted about Kale escaping her attempts to toss him off the bed and her frown only deepened as Kale mentioned getting high. "You better not turn into some kind of stoner, Kale Gigglebottom! Chronic marijuana use and higher dosages are found to correlate to greater incidence of psychosis and schizophrenia." Delia J informed Kale, while raising a skeptical eyebrow at Alicia and primly folding her hands into her lap, pointedly rejecting Alicia's hand.

Kale grinned at Alicia's comment, glad that she at least seemed to think he'd had a great night. Delia J was always the more difficult one, though; and sometimes he thought that was really fun about her. Now was one of those times, when nothing in the world was going to drag him down, and he said, "Just check me into a hospital if I start getting all schizo on you, your highness. Don't you kind of have the power to do that?" he teased, raising one hand to slap against Alicia's in triumph as the other went to Delia J's side to tickle her, since she was rejecting their group five like that.
