little miss “ i'm buzzed and happy off of two wine coolers and one shot of shitty vodka ” has been sauntering her way around the store for the past two minutes dramatically performing lay all your love on me when she hears naomi's woes. they activate something in her ( if only because genesis is always looking for an excuse to talk to naomi anyway ) and she's immediately spinning around, doubling back while an easy smile finds its way onto her face.
“ socially anxious why ? we're with friends, silly ! ” even genesis knows that's not true, but she hopes it quells the other's obvious unease. she holds her wine cooler out, rim tilted towards naomi, “ you want some ? it'll make you feel better. “ she turns the bottle for a moment to check the flavor, ” pink pina colada sunrise. whatever that means. it's so good ! ”
the music's a little too loud and the lights are doing that weird flicker thing that makes her feel like she’s stuck in a music video she didn’t sign up for. naomi’s in the corner, back against the wall, fingers curled around a sweating can of raspberry seltzer. it’s warm now but it gives her something to do with her hands.
“guess i’m the designated wallflower tonight,” she says with a crooked half-smile, glancing sideways at whoever wandered close enough to hear her. “don’t worry—i’m not judging anyone’s dance moves. just...observing. like a very socially anxious wildlife biologist.” she takes a sip, eyes scanning the room again, heart doing that uneven beat it always does when she’s pretending she’s not hoping someone will come talk to her.
alondra: what group are you in
alondra: nobody in mine is talking to me and i feel as if im wilting
alondra: we must make haste
alondra is many things – a painter, a ballerina, an ethereal being that shines brighter than the largest stars, destined for greatness – she could go on. but while all those may be true, what she is above all is a performer. and as a performer, it was her duty to commit to the goddamn bit, even if she thought it was kind of tacky to steal drinks off of tables. quickly she nods, smoothing her previously surprised features, “ yeah, it's our anniversary, we were at dinner earlier! “ eyes turn to the figure in front of them, ” he's telling the truth. you must have had the wrong guy. " distantly alondra wonders if lying so easily could be considered reprehensible, but she doesn't pay too much mind to it – she's super good at improv!
for: open to everyone! @langstonstarters where: the lamb and flag
"No, sir - you got the wrong guy!" The manager absolutely had the right guy. Usually, Soren was stealthy when it came to plucking up drinks left behind on tables. Left behind - halfway through being finished, but the owner had moseyed their way over the bathrooms, it was all the same, as long as you didn't get caught. Which wasn't in the plan, for obvious reasons - Soren always hated the part where he had to talk others down with the world's stupidest excuse. "Tell them, babe. We only just got here." Dragging someone into his mess wasn't ideal - there weren't many people as good at thinking on their toes as he was. But more people involved made his pleas all the more valid. Mouthing a rushed 'Sorry' to the closest person to him, Soren held his breath while waiting to see if they would corroborate with his story.
mandatory ( take with a grain of salt, she's prone to dramatics. it was an invite from an irritatingly perky girl she's already forgotten the name of ) trips to the rabbithole may be part of pandora's personal hell. she's only ever here for slam poetry nights, which are considerably more quiet than … whatever is going on. now she's stuck with two losers and a shitty vodka cran. she's got a stupid note on her head, again presented to her by that annoyingly kind girl ( marjorie? miley? maggie? ), and her eyes fly to the similar one on patti's. a little tug at the corner of her lips as she inspects them, “ … no. but it's up for debate, often. ” a pause before she points to her own, “ do i look like a tory? ”
After a day submerged in the bloody hue of the dark room developing films, Patti had decided to switch things up for the evening; the neon red of The Rabbithole, instead, little pinprick strobes that scuttled the tops of her knuckles like ladybugs. For reasons unknown, they were also wearing red contacts as if mid demonic possession. They'd slot into a booth with Pandora and two random transfers that they'd never met. Upon each of their foreheads was a hastily licked rolling paper, all bearing a different name. When the strangers they'd collected to play with for the evening had gotten up to buy Patti and Pandora another round, Patti leaned across the table and perched their chin on their fist, squinted in concentration. She'd written 'Jason Statham' on Bambi's paper. Her own was still a mystery. "Do I have a limp wrist?" @mindfulls

briar's hands come up to his chest in defense, a slight scoff slipping past his lips, " the fuck? you don't see me for eighty years and this is how you treat me?" twelve hours, give or take, from the flight to the castle and then to here. then again, briar did see arin this morning for breakfast, but they wouldn't count that — it was a "hi"-"bye", of course he wouldn't count that. not when he spends practically all their time around the other anyway. a pause, leaning back to raise his brow, " you're bored as shit, too, huh?" so observant.
LOCATION : outside the amphitheatre ( group three OR other wanderers maybe perhaps - ) ( @langstonstarters )
initially arin had found … whatever it is that man in there is talking about, halfway interesting. if for no other reason than the pure entertainment value of the theatrics and the british looking absolutely miserable about it. even so, there's only so long he can sit still for. the people seated nearby were starting to look annoyed by his incessant leg bouncing, and as much as he usually loves a good courtyard fight, he doesn't really want to be dodging punches on day one. so excusing himself, allegedly to find a bathroom, it is. he's pacing back and forth near the door, earbuds in, and running a tech deck along the wall and making godawful racket about it. with no idea he's no longer alone under he happens to catch sight of them mid-turn. makes him jump — as if encountering other people is abnormal in public ?? — miniature skateboard clattering to the ground in the process. “jesus fuckin'- would it kill you to make a little noise next time?” maybe they did, arin. you can't hear anything but fall out boy on full volume.
