❝ Are you okay? ❞ (Leonardo & Tails)

Tails' body jolted stiff as he realised someone was watching him. It was the middle of the night and he'd been so sure that the whole world was asleep. Leo's approach had only embarrassed him further than he was already feeling for being upset at all. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay." he answered, trying to sound chipper, but the cracks in his voice giving him away. He sniffled, rubbing his arm along his face to dry his eyes. "I just had a bad dream. Totally nothing."

Ada had found herself growing rather fond of Leo, their friendship had started during an impromptu sign-up for a martial arts class and it had been something of a blossoming into spending time together. Which led them to the pier amidst the chaos of the rides and people partaking in the merriment that was simply the Carnival. She’d just finished winning something from one of the booths when Leo happened upon her “So I might’ve won you a little something while you went to grab us some popcorn” she mused handing over a little stuffed turtle, before taking the offered popcorn bag “That is your favorite animal, right? Quite an interesting choice but hey who am I to judge?” She mused before nudging the other “What do you think we should try, I’ll admit I’m a bit carnival rusty, outside of maybe doing a Ferris Wheel.” @theriddleman

annie was occupying a seat at the local cafe. it was one that she frequented now and it was becoming one of her favorite destination spots. she was alone, eating some food, when she noticed a new person carrying their tray, probably searching for a seat, which was difficult since the cafe was bustling. "hello!" she called out, gesturing towards the empty seat across her in the booth. "would you care to JOIN ME? i have plenty of space." annie was learning to trust others again, and while that could be tough, it was all part of the process.

"Please tell me you have time to spar tonight." Kate practically begged, her voice holding a whine within its tone. She wasn't above begging, no matter how much she wanted to convince herself that she was. "I can make it worth your time. Pizza on me. Two pizzas on me. Large. All the toppings." She offered, trying to entice him.

"Nothing lasts forever." (Anyone/You Choose!)

"YEAH, .. I FUCKING SUPPOSE NOT," sighing. nothing did last forever and he was well aware of that, but .. then again .. there were certain things that he wanted to know were going to last forever. right? how could he not, he wondered? it was hard to explain, but .. even with his lack of memories? he knew that was the case. that he'd do whatever he could in order to make sure that happened. "but .. it's up to us to make sure that what is important actually lasts, isn't it? at least ... i think so."

Tails had spent the morning at a local scrapyard. Sure, he didn't have expressed permission to be there, but, he hadn't been able to find the owner and he didn't think they'd mind if he just took something to recycle. He'd clambered his way to the top of a pile of damaged cars, having no fear of heights, he'd never stopped to consider just how precarious his current position might be. He yanked at a part of one of the cars, tugging and hauling at it to try and get the rusted bolt that held it together to give way to him, the car suddenly toppled, shunting down sharply, trapping the young man's leg as it knocked him to the ground. Panicking, he tried to free himself but wasn't strong enough to lift the car. "Help!" he cried out, panic beginning to set in. "Somebody! Anybody! Hello?!"

"Neither one of us should be here right now." (Ed & Stu)

Stu laughed obnoxiously at the other's comment. "Oh, c'mon. You're not afraid are ya?" he grinned, gesturing to the boarded up, abandoned school with a flick of his index and middle finger. "Place has been dead for decades, no one's gonna come find you." he raised his eyebrows, his grin holding fast as he was careful with his choice of words. "I just need you to help me bring something back to my car if we find it, okay? If the cops come, which they won't, but if they do, you can run away or blame it on me or whatever, man. I really don't care."

"It’s funny how one event can change the outcome of your entire life." (Vanny&Ed)

"Oh, tell me about it. Just a few short years ago I was working for a gaming company, y'know, just a loner doing boring stuff to make ends meet." She shrugged as she talked, clearly holding very low regard for herself, especially during that time in her life. "And then one day I find this little bug in the game we're testing...and everything changed." she smiled, sighing with a bewildered happiness. "What about you? What's your magical moment, huh? What random thing that you could never have planned on, changed your whole life?"

"What are you supposed to be? A fucking Leprechaun?" Chucky was abashed by the very sight of the other man, wanting to get him out of the shop as quickly as he could. The type of customers that typically came by the occult shop weren't the same as the ones thrown up on by St. Patrick himself. "Look, Green Giant, I don't think we have what you're looking for but if you walk down the street a few blocks and follow the rainbow until the end you might find that pot of gold you're searching for."

"That's quite a bruise you've got there." Harry noted, eyes wandering over the yellowed ring of skin surrounding the angry bruise on the other man's forearm. It wasn't the kind of thing you got from aimlessly running into a door or knocking your arm against a counter. "How did you get that?" He asked, letting his curiosity get the better of him. Sticking his nose in other people's business never ended well, but something about it stuck out to him.

"Everybody here was someone else before.” ( Cato & Leo )

cato nodded, an action that indicated that he agreed. "we all have our own pasts to deal with," cato said, able to reflect on what had occurred during his childhood and adolescence. clove made the painful things less burdensome, but pain did not dissipate completely. how could it ever? "who were you BEFORE? and before WHAT?" he did not know leo all that well, but he appreciated getting to know the other. it was important to have reliable friendships in this city. people were better off when they were more connected. that was how cato felt, anyways. he'd been unable to rely on people, other than clove, in his past universe. he could acknowledge that distress while still committing to moving forward.

I make grave mistakes all the time. It all seems to work out. (anyone) @theriddleman

"HUH, YEAH. I KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT THAT. MAKING MISTAKES AND ALL THAT, YOU KNOW?" dewey could safely say that his entire life had been full of that. of making mistakes and.. no, he didn't see that being different anytime soon. of course not. right? but right now? yes, he was attempting to do something different and he was attempting to make things right. "but what matters is attempting to make things right, you know? to be better."
