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 ) .
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.
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 ? "

「 🔗 」 STATUS. ﹕ closed 「 🔗 」 LOCATION. ﹕ halloween party @ bootsy bellows 「 🔗 」 FEAT. ﹕ harlowe & matty ( @matttttyb )
“ oh now i’m thinking i should’ve dressed up as a top gun character instead of patrick bateman ! ” harlowe walks up to matty , playfully bumping shoulders with the football player . “ it would save me the trouble of removing all this makeup later . ” gestures to the splattered fake blood with red rhinestones strategically placed on top . “ but i’m getting another use out of this suit so i guess that’s something . ”
nalini lets out a small sigh and blows away at the strand of hair that fell in front of her . listen , she understands that these curfews are in everyone’s best interests but it’s pointless . they’re all sitting ducks waiting for vigilante to strike . even more so now that everyone in beverly park is restrained to the confines of their own home after 9pm . “ god , i hate being that person but i don’t even know what i’m in the mood for . this has just been all so much . and for what ? this person has made it very clear that they’re not stopping . and there’s strength in numbers , right ? what good is it if most of us are home alone , anyway ? ” she’ll muse before looking over apologetically at regina . “ sorry , i was thinking out loud . but a drink or two sounds good . what’ve you got ? should we do a little cocktail night ? ”
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ she thought the days of curfews ended when she became an adult , but , evidently , she was mistaken . now , she had to adhere to an even stricter one than she had in her younger years . what the hell was this ? she felt it was pointless to begin with , but no amount of complaining she did was going to change anyone's minds , anyways . she sighed , sympathizing with where the other was coming from . she knew it wasn't easy to handle everything going on . “ i get it , ” regina said , nodding . “ it's a lot to take in , ” she agreed . “ it's crazy that this person's still out there . ” regina tried not to talk about vigilante too often , didn't want to give the guy any more attention than he was already getting . “ that depends on what you're in the mood for . we have a lot of options here . we can watch a movie , or we can drink . i've got a pretty impressive liquor cabinet . or , i'm open to other suggestions , really . what are you in the mood for ? ”
“ well i guess you can’t say that there aren’t people who don’t care about you if they’re texting you ‘ stay safe ’ . no matter how fake it sounds , ” nalini lightly jests , in an attempt to at least lighten the mood . is she scared about vigilante striking again ? yes . but what are the chances that she’s high up on the killer’s list ? that’s something nalini doesn’t want to take a gamble on . but she supposes that she’s not that high up on his list . call it a coping mechanism . “ i wouldn’t put it past vigilante to start bugging our homes . at the very least , he’s hiding in someone’s bushes . maybe he rotates every night . ” it comes off as if she’s joking but again … coping mechanism ! “ i think i might bail before midnight . haven’t decided yet . what about you ? ”
𝑻𝑨𝑮𝑮𝑰𝑵𝑮 ﹕ open .
eyes flick to her phone , another sigh slipping past lips . the screen barely dims before she stuffs it back into her pocket . “ i swear , if one more person texts me to ‘ stay safe ’ tonight , i’m gonna throw this thing at whoever looks at me funny next . i mean , come on — they’re acting like the psycho has been crouched in the bushes all night just waiting for me to step outside . sure , okay . ” shrugs , like it’s all a joke . ( call it selective ignorance , but noah simply doesn’t expect to be that high on the vigilante’s hit list . sure , there’s always a risk , but that’s half the point of showing up , right ? prove that she’s as unfazed as she looks — keep up appearances ) . “ guess that’s the whole plan , have us all living in panic mode , having us each thinking we’re next . anyway , you sticking around to tempt fate , or bailing before midnight like one of the smart ones ? ”
the lockdown was depressing as hell . a curfew ? imposed on adults ? jeeze . this was certainly NOT how nalini wanted to spend her evenings . what good is a curfew and increased security going to do if vigilante knows how to break through the gilded gates of beverly park ? while it’s supposed to bring her some form of reassurance to know that there’s extra security , all it does is show that this gated community is slowly turning into a compound . eyes will flicker over to the younger woman . “ can’t help it , ” she shrugged . “ just tense from … ” she pauses as if how best to word her thoughts . “ well everything . ” she’ll smile apologetically at regina . “ what’ve you got ? a temporary distraction would be nice . ”
open starter ; for all . location ; regina's place . connections can be assumed .
was this how she wanted to spend her twenties ? definitely not . being confined to her home was far from ideal , but she'd be damned if she remained alone every night . she preferred having company , hence the reason she had the other over . sitting alone in her place could be a little intimidating , and having someone else there made it a lot easier for her . “ you don't need to be so on edge , ” she stated , shaking her head . “ nobody's getting in here unnoticed . we're fine here . try to relax and have a little fun , will you ? ” she knew she wanted to enjoy herself , she didn't want to think about what a joke their lives had become . “ come on . what'll take your mind off things ? we might be stuck in here , but we still have a lot of options . ”
