“ i mean , of course , you can't just show up to a fucking carnival and not attempt one of those games . and sure , maybe it's all a scam , but i could care less about that if there's a chance i could bring a life - sized teddy bear home , even if it's like by 0.1 percent . ” now camille knows she has more than enough to afford one ( hell , she could even afford more than one if she wants to ) but where's the fun in that ? “ usually i just go for the one with the best grand prize and call it a day , although i wouldn't be opposed to trying them all just for fun . either way i'm getting that giant teddy bear . ”

“ are you gonna attempt any of the carnival games ? or do you think it’s all a scam so there’s no point in trying to win a prize ? because i’m pretty sure there’s a trick to winning all of them . ”
“ i distinctly remember mentioning it to you though , it's not my fault that you chose not to listen to me , ” she rolls her eyes playfully , couldn't help the laugh that comes out after . maybe there is a possibility that she might have left that information out when they were talking , but confidence is key , and she's never been one to admit defeat easily , even for something as silly as this . “ god , no , can you even imagine that ? i would have probably came back from the dead and get changed because there's no way i'd be caught looking like this in a club . people are never gonna let me live it down , dead or not —— i could never recover from that , ” she invites herself into the house , hands intertwined as they make their way to aria's room . “ oh , don't worry , my place is just as messy , if not worse . ” camille gives aria a reassuring nod , taking a step behind to have a better look at the options shown to her . “ i know i said we're dressing cute , but that black top would look so hot on you , especially with a longer skirt and boots . and i know the ugly bowling shoes are such a buzzkill , but we can always take pictures before or after bowling —— seriously , how hard it is to make cute bowling shoes ? is it just not possible to look cute while we bowl ? that is so fuckin' ridiculous . ”
" i distinctly remember you not mentioning a single word about bowling , " now she's definitely the one who's not dressed for the occasion , leather mini - skirt certainly a bit much to be spending her night getting drunk and rolling balls into the gutter . " just to be clear , i meant no offense by my earlier comment i just know you and i know you wouldn't be caught dead in a club with jeans on , " she laughs , her head motioning towards the inside of her house , a silent invitation to come inside . " i'll get changed and now that you're here you can help me pick something better to wear , " cold fingers are laced between camille's pulling her towards her room where they're met with the sight of various pieces of aria's clothing sprawled out between the floor and her bed . " don't mind the mess , i was having a bit of an outfit crisis . . . " hands are freed as aria crosses through her room , heading straight for her closet . " okay , this one , or this one ? " she holds out the two for cami to get a good look at , " or i could go with like a longer skirt with boots ? ugh , but then we're gonna have to wear those ugly bowling shoes so it really doesn't even matter , huh ? "
there's a forced smile on her face when she looks at myles —— truth to be told , camille has been on her phone half of the time so she definitely has missed it . “ yeah , yeah , i totally saw that , ” she agrees anyways , head nodding to further reassure him . “ too bad i didn't get it on camera but hey , at least we both know you did it , am i right ? ”
closed starter for @salvateure ! ↪ after a game !
thrill of winning the game has completely blinded him to the fact that they're not actually friends , " — did you see that ?! 5 - 0 ?! did you ?! i made two of those goals — you saw it , right ? "
see , camille would have agreed to his plan in a heartbeat , if only he hadn't mentioned her ex or implied that this had anything to do with his return to new york . that was his first mistake , to think that she would ever want to hurt darius ( she never meant to , even if her actions sometimes suggest otherwise , especially with julien involved . ) and comes julien's second mistake , to think that she has some sort of loyalty towards him —— what a fucking joke . it makes her want to laugh , but instead she settles with a coy smile as she looks up at him . “ oh , julien , ” she drawls . “ you out of all people should've known better that i have no fucking sense of loyalty . ” it's self - deprecating , but it also means ' my loyalty absolutely does not lies with you . ' hell , at this point camille is probably only loyal to herself and nobody else . “ i don't know what kind of message you're trying to send here , but i'm not doing this shit . here's what i'm proposing : just you and i , why don't we just stay the fuck away from each other ? ” for the record , this is not the first time she has said that to julien , but somehow there is a hint of seriousness in her tone this time . “ and if it's true that darius is actually back from hiding , then maybe i don't fucking need you anymore . ”
julien has this … claim … over camille . and it’s wrong . god , it’s all sorts of wrong . but he charmed her away from her ex once , didn’t he ? so why wouldn’t he think he could do it again ? “ so , i hear darius has emerged from his … comment dit - on ? ah , yes , hiding place , ” mumbles , lips ghosting her neck , barely touching , breath warm on her skin . he’s so damn confident , so very sure , as fingers tilt her chin up , up to meet his gaze . “ to that , i propose a night out . just you and i . oh , and a horde of paparazzi , of course . think of the message that’ll send , hmm ? it’ll paint such a vivid picture of where your loyalties truly lie . ” // @salvateure
“ first of all , you're so dramatic . being on a ferris wheel won't kill you , babe . ” there is always a possibility of course —— camille decides to keep that to herself , not wanting to scare yejin any more now . “ but sure , you can totally blame it all on me if anything goes wrong . second of all , if this is what it takes to hold your hand , i'll take the chance . and you can yell as much as you want to , if that helps . i wouldn't mind as long as you're still coming with me . ” with that being said , she inches closer and links her arm with yejin's , as if to prevent her from running away now that she's agreed to ride the ferris wheel together . “ it's already too late to back out anyways . it's almost our turn , ” camille beams excitedly .
"well, when you put it that way. you know the way, where i can blame it on you if anything goes wrong then i can't say no." yejin teases. "and especially if this a ploy to hold my hand, then i'll have you know, this may not make it worth it because, i could yell! it could be terrible for me and i'd be more sorry for you having to experience that. like, you might regret it, because i also might regret going on that thing. but since you are so certain it's not that bad. then, let's go on this dumb ride that might kill me."
“ to be honest , i didn't even know there are other spideys than you . ” camille isn't too familiar with superheroes movies , that much is obvious . how is she supposed to know that there would be two different spider - men other than benny ? “ i only watch the movie because of you , obviously . can't believe you didn't even warn me about the spidey trio in it . ”
⋆ open starter, @ after spider-man: no way home’s premiere.
“ so, ” benny grins once he has reached your muse, hopelessly seeking to finally have a normal conversation with someone — literally anyone! that wasn’t part of the never ending press, “ were you expecting to see the three spideys together or was it a complete surprise? ” @nepofmstarters
closed starter for laurie @stclaires setting: empty balcony at some party
leans her back against the balcony as she takes a drag of her cigarette , a smile appears on lips when she catches a glimpse of laurie , waves him over . “ i promise i'm not trying to ditch you . just need a little breather , is all . ” she knows laurie would understand , but she doesn't mind his company either . if anything she's actually glad he's the one who found her , his presence always brings her comfort after all .
“ oh my god , babe . did you just admit that you're obsessed with me ? ” of course she knows vivi doesn't mean it like that , but either way that's what she's hearing at the moment . “ i mean , it's obvious that i'm obsessed with it , which is why i wear it so often . can you really blame me though ? it just goes well with anything and it's so chic . ” in fact there's one on top of her head right now , because how could camille not have it on her now that it has become her signature ? “ oh , we can definitely find a signature thing for you , vi . tell me , you got something you're obsessed with at the moment besides me ? ”

“ i don't know if you've done this before but let me tell you , this is a fucking life saver . ” miyeon doesn't strike her as somebody who would enjoy breaking things but hey , that doesn't mean she wouldn't . “ okay , before you judge me or anything , i don't do this often —— it's been a while since the last time i did this and we all have something we're upset about sometimes , so why not ? ”
closed starter for darius @oiympian setting: some bar in nyc
it's one of those nights where camille goes pub crawling with some friends , going from one bar to another and by the time they get into the nth bar she's already starting to feel a tad bit intoxicated , which is why she almost couldn't believe her eyes when she spots him across the room . camille could recognize that tall figure anywhere , even from the back , and once she manages to catch a glimpse of his side profile , she's convinced that her gut is right —— that's definitely darius suwan , and of course he's in the middle of the bar about to fight somebody , so camille stumbles on her way towards him , swiftly places herself in between the two before she turns to face darius , hoping that her presence could distract him from the other guy . “ thank god i found you , ” she purrs , followed by a giggle . “ it's a little crowded in here , don't you think ? ” one hand tugs at his arm gently , “ let's go somewhere a little more private , yeah ? ”
