“ well , what can i say . . . if i were you , i'd be obsessed with me too . ” there's a cheeky grin on her face now as she looks at vivi , glint of mischief evident in her eyes . truth to be told , camille doesn't do it on purpose , but now that it has become her signature look , she's not complaining about it either —— in fact she kinda thrives with it . “ why thank you , babe . i totally needed that ego boost but okay , enough about me now . ” she instantly lights up at the mention of a bedazzled microphone . “ ooh , a bedazzled microphone for when you're on stage sounds really cute ! it's probably a little cliché for a singer though . how about a cute little necklace with your name ? or just your initial on it , you know , regina george style . either that or maybe you can wear 5 rings that spell sweet on one hand . that would be sweet i think , pun absolutely intended . ”
" oh , don't flatter yourself , camcam . " she's rolling her eyes , but it's true : shes loves cami ... even if their dumb little arguments suggest otherwise . that's her bitch ! " and they're so you , like ... classic , CHIC , but somehow a little edgy at the same time ... you've done a good job building a brand for yourself . marketing genius ! " she beams , " hm ... well ... besides you ... i don't really know . maybe i should have a little necklace that you never see me without ? or , like , a bedazzled microphone for when i'm on stage . have you seen how pinkpanthress always has a purse on her when she's performing ? — something cute and memorable like that . "
“ 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 . ”

“ 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
“ 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 ? "
“ 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'm sure i've told you this before , but i'm literally obsessed with your lil' chanel cat eye sunglasses THING you've got going on . it's , like , your signature . you see 'em and think cami ! i need a signature like that . "
“ i would hate to disappoint you , ” comes a pause in an attempt to mimic mai's dramatic reaction . “ but i'm not a big fan of mac n ' cheese . i mean , if you love it so much then more power to you . i just don't vibe with it as much as you do . ” still , camille leans closer to take a bite of it , not wanting to embarrass mai now that she already holds it out for her . “ that's pretty good , i'd say . not the most delicious bite of my life though . ”

“ not to be dramatic , ” she began , placing down her fork in order to better wax poetic about her lunch . “ but this is the best mac n ’ cheese i’ve ever had in my life . i swear they put something in this to make it so addicting — besides cheese , obviously . ” scooping a generous forkful , she holds it out across the small table in offering . “ here , try it . if it’s not the most delicious bite of your life , i’ll treat you to whatever you want . ”
“ 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 . ”

closed starter for ria @rhiannvns setting: any thrift store
usually spotted wearing designer clothes when she's out and about , most people aren't aware of the fact that camille also enjoys thrifting once in a while . browsing through the new arrivals section , she comes across a fellow patron who she notices has been eyeing a certain clothing for a while . “ you should get that one . i think it'd look really cute on you , ” she encourages . sure , nobody asked for her opinion , but she figures it won't hurt to say something anyways .
“ first of all , that's so rude . second of all , which part of this screams we're staying in for you ? ” hands gestured randomly over her outfit , an offended look washes over her face . “ i was feeling cute and shit and now i don't even know anymore . well , at least i'm dressed for the part , ” she blurts out , motioning towards aria . “ i distinctly remember telling you to wear something cute because we're gonna go bowling . . . i guess you didn't hear that one . ”
“ um . . . i thought you said we were going out tonight , “ she gives [ name ] a quick scan with her eyes , one of them clearly must have misinterpreted the dress code for tonight’s plans . “ when you said out i thought you meant like to dinner or to the club or something , not out of the bed and onto the couch . . . “ ( @nepofmstarters )
closed starter for josie @delicatlueur setting: new club grand opening in nyc
“ oh come on , babe . you can't just refuse to come with me at the very last minute ! we're literally almost there , ” she tries to reason with josie , but really , she's not going to take no for an answer —— it's how she even gets josie to leave her house in the first place . “ a friend gave me two vip invites and i haven't seen my best friend in a whole ass week . can you believe that ? a whole ass week , josie . plus , when was the last time you went to a club ? ”
“ honestly , no truer words have been spoken . i'm always a sucker for mini skirts , but like you said , we don't wanna be scandalous and not - so - accidentally flash our asses to the entire alley . . . well , not today . ” it's definitely something that camille would do on purpose . anything to get people talking about her , but with aria around she's ought to put on her best behavior at the moment —— unless aria is down for a little misbehaving , of course . “ i know right ? did anyone really not think about it at all ? that's so crazy to me , like come on , people . it's 2024 , let us have some cute bowling shoes for once and all ! but for real , that better happens before this year ends or else i'm super convinced that they all hate bowling . ” shakes head at the thought , but instantly nods at aria's question . “ sure , we can totally go grab dinner after that . i really don't mind whenever so i'll leave that one to you , babe . ” she's never been picky when it comes to these things , and it's only fair to have aria decide on their dinner place since she already suggested for them to go bowling . “ the only thing i'm worried about is the power that we hold when we're together , i bet it'd be too much for them to handle , ” a pause for dramatic effect , and camille breaks into laughter at her own words . “ other than that , i got nothing to worry about for sure . but really , who cares ? paparazzi should be fucking banned at this point but they're not , so we might as well just do whatever the fuck we want , am i right ? ” paparazzi might be brutal , but they are the least of her worries right now .
" that's exactly what i was thinking ! oh fuck it i'll just wear the boots , in a perfect world i'd wear a miniskirt but i don't really like the idea of me bending over to roll the ball and flashing my ass to the entire alley , " it's a sacrifice she has to make to maintain at least some decency . " honestly now that you mention it , i'm kinda shocked none of the big names have gotten on that ⸻ nike or something really needs to get on that , i can't believe they've made fucking pickleball shoes before bowling ones , " there's a story somewhere in there , she thinks , tucking that thought away in her mental file cabinet as she pulls her current shirt over her head and tosses it to the side of her closet . " are we just going bowling or do you wanna go grab dinner or something ? there's a few places i've been wanting to try but i'm honestly not opposed to just roaming around until we find somewhere that looks good . . . but only if you're not too worried about like , paparazzi , i've heard they've been on the fucking prowl in soho recently , " she says , pulling on her shirt and disappearing around the corner to hangers sliding against the metal rods as she flicks through her rack of skirts .
