harlowe glances over at xavier as soon as he plops down on the vacant seat next to them . their cool gaze sweeps over the other musician continues to talk . try as they might , lucas’ death took a toll on harlowe . while their friendship with the prince was an unlikely one , they were still close . and they could’ve gone without vigilante’s chilling birthday message . “ i mean hey , at least you’re giving the man ideas . makes you wonder just how extensive his google searches are , ” they comment before shrugging at his question . “ i’m not giving him any creative ideas but honestly , he’d probably strangle me with a microphone cord or something . lay my dead body against my drum set . but just know that if he kills me , i won’t go down without a fight . i could probably get a couple hits in . call it a thank you gift for the birthday gift he gave me , ” they comment facetiously . “ but i think we’d be giving him a little too much credit that he’d take our preferred ways to go . ”
who: xavier & your muse
where: idfk ??
xavier plops down on the couch with a dramatic sigh . " you know , at this point , i'm starting to think the killer's right . we are kinda terrible . i mean , look at us , " they wave a hand at the scene—vodka bottles tilted sideways , joints half-buried in ashtrays , and scattered lines of cocaine across the glass table . " if i weren't me , i'd hate me . " leaning back , they tap their chin thoughtfully . " and you gotta give it to this guy—he’s creative . when it's my turn , i want him to go all out , like , maybe sharpen my old cds and launch them at me like ninja stars until , bam , poetic justice . and yeah , i said when , because let's be real : statistically , i've made enough poor life choices to qualify . " then he glances over , eyebrows raising . " anyway , that's my preferred way out . what about you ? "
despite what the media has dubbed their ‘ resting bitch face ’ , lips can’t help but quirk up into an amused grin when they spot bash’s costume for the night . harlowe casually strolls over , drink in hand before stopping in front of the other . “ it’s a little pretentious but it’s an old fashioned , ” answers with a small shrug of their shoulders . “ but i guess it’s less pretentious than being that person who just orders whiskey on the rocks , ” they jest . nods towards him . “ what are you having ? something worthy of mr. flavortown himself ? ”
availability : open location : halloween party @ bootsy bellows
bash was glad to have some sort of distraction from the menacing letter that they had all recently got. a halloween party was the perfect thing to get it off everyone's mind. he was also hoping that people would understand his costume. it was a little on the goofier side of things but that's just who bash was. he loved a little goofy costume and a bad dad joke as much as anyone. so it made sense that he was dressed as mr. flavortown himself, guy fieri. when he saw a familiar face at the bar, he waved them over. "what are you drinking tonight?" he asked, over the loud music.

“ i’ve seriously got start charging you a premium for the amount of times i have to bail you out of jail . ” freya’s eyes flutter open as she turns to look at ace . “ friends and family discount should no longer be applicable . ” had she not been so good at her job , maybe there’d be more bite to her words . but in comparison to the rest of her clients , her cousin’s proclivity for getting into physical altercations with strangers really isn’t all that bad .
“ cats are known to be able to mimic humans . but i think in this case , buttercup just doesn’t like you . i hate to break it to you , felix . i don’t know if there’s any way you can win her over . did you try bribing her with treats ? ”

Scream (2022) dir. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett
truthfully , harlowe couldn’t care less about what the press had to say about their little encounter with one of the paparazzi . after spending a majority of the adolescence in the public eye , the negative press no longer fazes them . it’s cutthroat . and while it’d be GREAT if the paparazzi ceased to exist , they doubt that it’ll ever happen . at gwen’s question , harlowe shrugs and smirks lightly . “ i think they should count themselves lucky that i wasn’t driving . but honestly , i don’t care . there’ve been worse things said about me . ” exhibit a , the negative claims that satanic panic is back because they’d transitioned from their child star image to their rockstar brand . “ besides , i clearly don’t think they’ve learned . and i doubt they’ll ever learn . they swarmed tobey maguire before that . and i’m pretty sure they’ve even swarmed tom hanks when he was out with his wife . getting a swing in was justified . it’s not like i destroyed their five thousand dollar camera setup , y’know ? ”
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓 ; @imb3rs.
gwen & harlowe.
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ “ i saw that article about you , ” she mentioned , the words followed by a soft sigh . the press could be so brutal , and for what ? while gwen might've loved attention herself , she still detested the fact that the media had always been so eager to show the worst parts about a person during tense moments . it might've made them a quick buck , but from a moral standpoint , she couldn't stand it . “ if you ask me , i think you actually went a little easy on them , ” gwen told the other , shrugging . “ some people just need to learn how to respect personal space , really . hopefully they don't make the same mistake with someone else . how are you feeling since all of that went down anyways ? ”
despite now running in the same circles , it never ceases to amuse harlowe just how much of a fan ace is of their music . don’t get them wrong ! it’s nice and they’re grateful . but they’re going with the assumption that it’ll take a bit more time for him to adjust so they’re sure the giddiness will pass eventually . “ it’s like the cinderella effect or something . but i gotta say , i’m a little disappointed . thought they’d hold out for another hour , y’know ? feels like 1AM kinda behavior . ” eyes will playfully roll at his comment . “ who me ? and take that honor away from you ? ” they’ll jest . “ i’m just saying that the rando probably will have done something to deserve it . what do you take me for ? just because i’m a rockstar doesn’t mean i’m completely uncivilized . ” and perhaps that’s why they took to him so quickly . nothing forms a bond quicker than knocking a jerk flat out . “ but i am thinking of getting outta here soon . maybe grab a bite at in-n-out or something . could go for a burger honestly . you in ? ”
shifts his weight , hand shooting out instinctively to land firm but gentle on harlowe’s shoulder , steadying them before they get shoved deeper into the crowd . “ nah , i’m good . drink’s safe . ” and shakes his head with a slight grin , playing it cool — even if inside , he’s a little giddy . ( i mean , it’s not every day your favorite musician turns around and checks on you , you know ? ) . “ but you might be right about leaving early . midnight hit , and they all turned into animals , swear to god . i mean , could stick around , but i dunno … wouldn’t wanna risk you takin’ someone down tonight . can’t have you going viral twice for knockin’ out some rando , can we ? ” lips pull into a teasing grin . ( they’re kind of alike in that way — both the type to throw fists at the right kind of jerk who deserves it . and by the looks of tonight’s crowd , it might just come to that if they hang around any longer ) .
