“Jesus, mate, you are a stalker!” Lauren attemps a laugh but no one else joins in.

“No,” Michael says. “I just pay attention.”

Chamber of Horrors (1940)

[pickledsprite]

in a beach day episode how would solitaire characters act like?

Before solitaire it would go like

Becky is the type of girl that wants to tan or slash you

Evelyn prob wants to gossip while tanning (boringggh)

Rita and Lauren are prob of to the side cuddling and being all lovey dovey (gf thinggzzz)

Tori wouldn’t want to be there, she would prob go sit in the water with a floaty and stay there hoping she gets pulled away by the current and never come back (LOL💀)

Becky would eventually stop tanning and go see Tori to dig her in sand and sculpt her a mermaid tail

After solitaire would go like this

Tori and Michael show up with a basket with a huge blanket, three towels, snacks, some pastries Michael made, and sandwiches they grabbed on their way there.

After sitting down they prob talk for a bit about what they should do & Michael tells a storytime about some thing he’s done as a child at the beach

They go in the water even tho Tori doesn’t rlly want to bc it’s cold and she knows Michael is gonna splash her (he does) Michael does the starfish but a wave takes him down (also he can’t see shit bc Tori is holding his glasses)

Once they get out Michael jokes that he’s getting a tan and tori rolls her eyes and says “the only person here that’s getting a decent tan is me”

Michael keeps throwing sand at Tori’s feet, she’s getting overstimulated so they decide to leave after two hours of being there

Transcript Under the Cut (It's a bit different than normal, If you want bonus content, check here.)

The air is chilly as she walks her morning commute. The mundanity is predictable yet rewarding as everything falls into place… as they always do.

“Nothing has changed” is the mantra she obsessively repeats in her head. Every hour, every day. “Nothing has Changed.” As if there isn’t an unmistakable void in her. Her confidant, her partner, is gone. All because of misunderstanding she’s calling it.

Like clockwork, her favorite street food truck has her coffee and morning bagel ready for her. They go through the same monotonous small talk, and she walks on and eats.

“It’s not the time,” she thinks as she walks down the street, on her way to work. Her face is plastered all around the city [Use custom billboards, and News stand], she’s found it quite easy to ignore as she walks past a news stand. Filled with her likeness. Not quite the same girl eating and walking.

“Nothing has changed”

she repeats to herself, but everything has. She see’s it clear as day as she rounds the corner to her building. Kai steps out with someone, a girl, to her dismay. Sneaky as ever, she walks paces behind them. She’s curious, but she has no other choice to size up her opponent.

The Girl, tall and beautiful. With hair of ink, so glossy, yet no sign of care. It takes Lorraine hours of prep for her own, yet this girl wears it so simply. At least she’s in Vandeleur, the girl has no dressing skills. That much is apparent, there is only so far you can go with a pretty face, Lorraine thinks.

Lorraine takes her elevator up to the floor she assumes Kai is also heading to, Their offices. On her way into the lobby, she spots Romilly. Romilly watches Kainalu and this girl walk past.

[R]“who’s with Kai?” she asks.

[L]“how would I know.”

[R]“She’s gorgeous, maybe a model?”

[L] He wouldn’t date an employee. She’s not even his type, they could never be dating”

[R] …

[L] (defensive)What? Are you pitying me?

[R] Nothing.

[L] Can you look into her for me? See if there’s any dirt, I don’t like her.

[R] How can you know that already? And I’m not a spy.

[L] (exasperated) Just do it.

She walks away feeling more annoyed then she could have anticipated. Had this mysterious girl really agitated her so much? She tried to pretend she didn’t know the reason why.

On the other side of the building, Kai and Maliah were sitting in his office. Kai sat behind the desk, watching as his unwelcome guest propped her dirty boots onto his glass table. He did not want to imagine where those boots had been.

[M] This place is nice. I expected more though, you’re president, right? No golden statues?

[K] Co-founder

[M] Close enough. Where’s the co-founder to your co-founder?

[K] (angry)If you touch her-

[M] (mockingly) Relax, I’ll do what I have to Kai. You’re the one who’s in control here. Don’t make me have to.

[K] What do you need exactly?

[M] it’s simple, really. I’ll just need your cooperation in handing over a large amount of money, and access to you’re dear old girlfriend.

[K] You’re not having her, that’s off the table.

[M] (coyness) I don’t know what you want me to do.

[K] I want you to stay away.

[M] I will, but I can’t guarantee what others might do.

[K] who else is with you?

[M] it’s just me… for now. The time is ticking.

[K]…

A few hours has passed. The office is quite, people talking amongst themselves. Other’s completing their tasks. Lorraine is standing alone in the sunlight of their tiny office kitchen. She has been brewing her coffee and stirring, listening to the slow moving of the office around her. She loves these moments, the moments that are only possible due to Her and Kai’s hard work.

She walks out of the tiny kitchenette with her new coffee in hand, fully intent on enjoy their remains in the quiet of her office suite. Pouring over newly submitted sketches from the design department. Her plans are quickly dash to the side with the appearance of Kai and his mysterious guest. She braces her shoulders, always up for a battle, she is. She walks up to them, not yet noticed by Kai.

[L] Kai.

[K] (startled) Lorraine… I’m sorry we’ve gott-

[L] (scoffs) Talk to me for longer than 2 seconds without running away, kai-

[L] Your face… Who did this to you.

[K] (mumbles) It’s nothing.

[L] hmmm… You’re leaving early? Rare, you must be that reason. I’m Lorraine.

[M] Mal-

[K] This is Maliah, she’s a friend.

[L] friend. (chuckling) I get it.

[K] (gritted out) We really need to go.

[L] (offended) by all means.

Lorraine watches them walk away, to her it seems intimate, Kainalu’s hand going to the small of Maliah's back. But in reality, Kai heards Maliah out as fast as he can. Putting as much distance between her and Lorraine.

The younger Romilly brother ended up being famous for running away from school to run a comunist magazine, and the book includes this interesting Daily Mail article

And I think the last passage is interesting because of what it says about the way this generation (born 1914-1918) was viewed at the time

“You’re gay though, aren’t you?” says Lauren, forever unafraid to say what other people are thinking. “Like, I heard that you’re gay.”

“Oooh, you’ve heard about me?” He leans in. “Intriguing.”

“Are you though?” asks Lucas, trying unsuccessfully to sound casual.

Michael smiles. “I guess you could say I’m not too fussy about gender.” Then he grins and points a finger at him. “You never know, it might be you I’m in love with.”

Lucas immediately goes red.

“So you’re pansexual?” asks Becky, and Michael shrugs as if to say, it’s a mystery.

People die out there. Often enough that no one worries about blame. They're too anxious to forget it happened in the first place, I guess.
