“I’m sure,” Elliot said. It wasn’t something he could relate to really. He only really was just beginning the spontaneous chapter of his life and simply meeting up for some drinks with someone he’d just met like he was right now was about as spontaneous as he got in his day to day life. Even after winning the lottery Elliot realized he was a pretty routine individual even though he’d never thought of himself as that way until his life had completely changed. While he’d never say he outright would change the life he had now for the one he had back in Amarillo there were still parts of it he missed as mundane as it had been. “I’ve only really turned spontaneous since I’ve retired and I have all the free time to do whatever I want now,” he explained hoping it didn’t come off like he was gloating too hard. From the corner of his eye he watched as their appetizers were approaching and he settled back in his seat and moved his drink so the server had room to put down the plates. He thanked them as they left and he turned his attention back to Claudia again. “This looks great,” he commented on the food and took another sip of his beer before setting it back down so he could pay attention to the plates in front of him.

@claudiahuxley

"Oh I'm very spontaneous." Claudia responded without a second thought. "Which not going to lie, got me into trouble a few times but at least I have stories to tell from it." She was a believer of living in the moment rather by regret. Which was something she learned from her estranged mother, maybe that was why her actions acted as they did today. Claudia often wondered if she more of a stable house hold would she have ended up in a different lifestyle or would she still be the same. Questions like those were ones she tried not to dwell on and rather do things such live off bucket lists or have spontaneous adventures. @fatefulfortune

“I don’t know. I think it’s kind of a little too late for someone to just be running late,” Elliot said. Besides Aurora Bay was tiny. Even with “traffic” he knew it would be impossible to be running over an hour late. “And even if that was a case they could at least message me,” he said. He’d been left on read for over thirty minutes now and if she’d had any intention of showing up or even properly canceling she would by now. No, Elliot was pretty confident that he’d been stood up. “I guess that’s the last I try using a dating app,” Elliot said. Though he wasn’t actually going to swear it off just yet. His friends had convinced him to buy the premium version of the app and he didn’t want his free super likes to go to waste.

@hinataxito

"Some people just suck, unfortunately." Hinata wasn't well versed in the dating world but he knew that at least. He'd been so married to his job that dating was the last thing on his mind, especially lately. Typically, he was oblivious to anyone flirting with him. There had been countless time he was giving scuba lessons and some of the women would try to flirt with him and he wouldn't think twice about it because he was doing his job and he thought they were just eager to learn the steps and complimenting him as a teacher. He wasn't the brightest when it came to anything romantic.

"But hey, maybe she's just running late. Traffic? Or, uh... I don't know. Something. It's tourist season, who knows. There's a ton of people on the street getting in the way of everything."

Elliot swallows his half chewed mouthful of peanuts with some difficulty as he’s caught off guard by the accusation coming from a seemingly complete stranger. It doesn’t automatically click that he’s crossed paths with her already especially because their first interaction hadn’t been particularly memorable even though she’d insinuated that he was weird then too. “I’m sorry?” Elliot asks in need of some further clarification as he quickly reaches for his beer to wash down the bite of nuts. He’s been called weird plenty of times in his life but never out of left field like this.

@summersabella

Summer actually sighs out loud when she realizes, after the crowd's dissipated, that the dude who'd bought everyone free drinks is the same guy who'd tipped her thirty bucks at the theater a couple weeks ago. It's not even that he's alone, because that part isn't really weird by itself, but the fact that he's sitting there eating peanuts and looking so forlorn, on top of the context from their previous encounter. Motivated suddenly to get to the bottom of this guy's story, she leaves her friends and goes to the bar, ordering a fresh Mai Tai, and finally looks over at him. "You're kind of weird," she says bluntly. "Has anyone ever told you that?" @fatefulfortune

“Isn’t that inspiration supposed to come from within?” Elliot pointed out. Not that he felt particularly passionate about the subject. Bucket lists had never really been his thing and the one he’d just constructed with Claudia’s help on a napkin likely wasn’t going to be adhered to in any serious fashion. “I appreciate the effort,” Elliot said. “I’m trying to live that way more myself.” He’d spent a lot of his life planning a future with someone and looking to the future that hadn’t gotten him anywhere now. While he didn’t feel like he’d wasted all those years on his ex he did feel like he was starting his life over again and he was going to go about things differently this time around. “You pretty spontaneous?” Elliot asked.

@claudiahuxley

"It's not cheating, it's more of...looking for inspiration." She pointed out, although it kind of was cheating but hey, she was always the type to look at a glass half full type of gal. Trying to see everything in a positive light even when her own life was in a shit hole. Claudia chuckled lightly as she set the pen down and shrugged. "Well I tried, my list only has like five...so can't be worse than me. I'm more of a live in the moment type of gal, action first consequences later."

NICK ROBINSON in SNACK SHACK (2024) dir. Adam Rehmeier

[fatefulfortune]

"I think so, yeah, I've done some interviews before," he explained though he wasn't elaborating with any information that would give his secret away. When he'd won news outlets from all over Texas had reached out to him and wanted some comment. For weeks his story had been the filler content on the news. Something lighthearted to cut through their usual topics. He was sure those interviews existed somewhere on the internet for all of eternity just like everything else. Elliot had never sought out watching them. He wasn't a big fan of seeing himself on camera. "I can't promise that," Elliot said with a chuckle. After all, the whole reason he'd ran away to Aurora Bay was because too many people back home learned about his money and they all wanted something from him. If something similar was to occur here in Aurora Bay he would have no problem ditching this scene too. It would be incredibly easy in fact. Elliot took the shot even though he felt like he didn't really deserve it for his hit. The tequila burned and he was reminded why he didn't usually do shots.

"It's best to visit in the spring or fall, I'd say. Then it ain't too hot," he explained. He was living through his first summer here in California and while both places were hot the heat was a lot more bearable with an ocean breeze. "You got any desire to go to Japan?" Elliot asked. Though he was joking and wasn't seriously going to invite someone who was more or less just a stranger even though they poured him good drinks he might as well ask for the hell of it. That was the first place on his bucket list to visit whenever he gets himself a passport.

@thecelestexzhao

Celeste playfully narrowed her eyes at him and ended up getting out two shots so they could drink them together, but she paused at his answer. "You're googleable?" She rose a brow at that but before she could do much else she realized she didn't have a last name, and it's not like Elliot was that rare of a name... She'd figure it out now though, just for the stubbornness of it all. "Okay, rich Elliot from Texas.." She started, pouring out the shots and sliding one over to him. "I will find you out. And when I do you just have to promise to not skip town cause I haven't exactly hated the conversation--and the tips of course." She added with a grin, clinking her glass against his before she easily knocked it back.

"I'm from Chicago, so California is a shift for me too, but Texas seems like a whole other world. So I'll hold you to it for the list...assuming I ever even manage to leave here." it was a wonder she had enough money to get here and now having a decent job that she could stay. She didn't think she was financially stable enough yet to just up and go across the country on a trip any time soon. But still. "Feel free to remember little ol' me and invite me to tag along if you ever decide to go on some lavish vacation."

[fatefulfortune]

“I wouldn’t know,” Elliot stated. Aurora Bay was much different from Amarillo. He’d never lived somewhere so small and it was kind of weird how it felt like everyone kind of knew everybody except for him. He felt as though he stood out from the town in more ways than one and he hoped the longer he lived there the more settled he’d become and comfortable he’d be. Elliot laughed as she tried to guess and he shook his head at all the options she put forth. “Nah, I ain’t nothing like that,” he promised. Elliot didn’t really need a free shot but he was drunk enough he’d humor her with a hint though he didn’t really like people learning where he got his money. It bit him in the ass so hard back in Amarillo that he had to move after all. “You could probably Google me and find your answer,” Elliot hinted not that that gave anything away. He didn’t even know if that was true or not he hadn’t Googled his name since he’d won the lottery but he’d been interviewed plenty of times that the articles probably would come up. Whether or not Celeste knew his last name he didn’t know but that was on her curiosity not his.

“Yeah, Texas is real nice. It’s definitely a lot different than California that’s for sure,” he confirmed. It’d been quite the culture shock when he first moved to the beach town. “I can definitely do that though most people hit up Austin when they come to Texas and I’ve never been,” he explained. Elliot hadn’t done too much exploring of Texas in all honesty. He kept mainly around Amarillo. Traveling only really was on his mind now that he had the money to.

@thecelestexzhao

"I assume so? The generational wealth is always thick in the air here." She mused, figuring if people weren't familial-wealthy, they were some sort of famous that she really couldn't care less about. "But okay. So you're not like the heir to a railroad tycoon or something. Not...an actor or anything? Influencer maybe? Singer?" She wondered aloud as she looked him over before she let out a laugh, "Can I at least get a hint? I'll throw in a free shot." Celeste even pulled out the bottle of tequila as she said it, proving she meant it and for the hell of it she poured out her own shot, figuring it was late enough into the evening that not too many more patrons were going to come in.

"I've always wanted to go to Texas, even just to visit. Seems so different from where I've lived." Granted Aurora Bay was different from Chicago too, but still. The south as a whole seemed like a whole other venture. "You should give me like a list or something of places to hit if I ever do."

[fatefulfortune]

“I can imagine. My little sister did dance up through high school,” he explained. If he wasn’t getting dragged off to one of her pageants he was sitting through a dance recital. He felt like most of his childhood was spent being some sort of support for his siblings’ extracurriculars. He didn’t know too much about what it would take to run a dance studio but he could imagine it got stressful especially having to answer to dance moms.

Elliot cracked a smile at her comment. “Really? I feel like when I have too many beers I become dumb as a doorknob,” he stated. That’s why he tried to drink within his limits. He had a pretty good reputation with the bars in town and he didn’t want to ruin that by having one too many.

When the question was turned to him he could only really shrug. He didn’t have much of an answer. He was out drinking because he could and nothing in particular had brought him in. “No story, really. Just wanted to grab a couple beers tonight,” he admitted knowing he wasn’t offering much to go off of. Even though he was new to town and trying to make friends didn’t mean he was really getting any better at getting to know people. He hadn’t realized until moving away from his home town how many of his connections relied on efforts he’d made in elementary school. Getting to know adults was much harder.

@marjorie-guest

@fatefulfortune

Marjorie took a sip of her vodka tonic, letting the rush of ice-cold vodka settle her frayed nerves. “Oh, you could say that,” she replied, glancing at the garnish before fiddling with the slice of lemon. She was quietly pleased to find someone open to conversation. Though she didn’t know anyone well enough to vent, a bit of companionship at the bar was welcome. “Some days just pile up, don’t they? Running a dance studio can be more complicated than it looks, even with all the glitter and tutus.”

She turned her gaze to the bar, watching the reflection of the neon on the wood as she took another sip of her drink. She didn’t want to move too fast—just needed something to take the edge off. “Though I’m no philosopher, tough days have a way of making me sound like one after a few drinks.”

Finally, she turned her attention fully to her companion, eyeing him curiously. Their paths hadn’t crossed yet, but she liked to seize the moment when it came to making new connections. “And you? What’s your story? What brought you here tonight?”

[fatefulfortune]

🍒  —  cherry bomb! 

“I wasn’t really all that rebellious. My brother was kinda the rebellious one of the family so my parents were always a lot harder on him than they were on me and my sister. Still, I did a lot of sneaking around with my ex when we got together back in high school. My parents didn’t like me having a serious relationship so early on. In hindsight they felt pretty foolish because we ended up being together for thirteen years. Which is still longer than both my sibling's relationships who are already married.”

[fatefulfortune]

the last petal falls!      a headcanon about a time my muse has pined or felt unrequited love for another.

“I don’t think I’ve ever really experienced either of those before. I ended up with the first girl I ever truly had feelings for and I was completely blindsided to her falling out of love with me when it happened so I didn’t even know my love was unrequited until it hit me in the face and I kinda was forced to stop loving her all of a sudden.”

[fatefulfortune]

“Twin? Are y’all identical?” Elliot asked though he was sure Ford had probably been asked that his entire life. He couldn’t help but being one of the masses. “My brother’s got twins. Two identical girls. Even now I struggle to tell ‘em apart,” he admitted with a bit of a chuckle. He didn’t know twins ran in his family but considering his cousin also had twins it seemed like it did. “That’s cool that they travel for a living.”

“Gotcha, and here I thought you were about to reveal you’re like a world class ballerino or something,” Elliot joked. His parents weren’t rich by any stretch of the imagination but he could understand parents that through their kids into all sorts of programs. Both his sister and brother were flush with extracurriculars and that took the pressure off Elliot who’d only ever done peewee soccer when he was a kid and called it good.

As soon as they got the bartender’s attention Elliot ordered himself the tequila cocktail he’d seen off their menu and waited for Ford to order before he handed off his card to start a tab. So far conversation felt like it was going pretty well but now that they officially had drinks out in things were starting to feel a bit more real as it dawned on Elliot that he really was on a date. “So, uhh, what do you like to do?” Elliot asked once the bartender had left them alone. Elliot internally cringed realizing that was probably the most generic question to ask but it was the only thing he could think of to keep the conversation going.

@ford-tamblyn

Ford had traveled a bit but he didn’t really have the urge to move somewhere out of California. Despite all the bad it was still home and he didn’t see any reason why he would have to move. Though there were aspects of living in the state that he hated. And so much of it had been what he was doing professionally. he wished he could sort of wipe that part of his life away but if it hadn’t been for reality TV, he wouldn’t have been able to come back home to Aurora Bay. “ it’s a lot to get used to. I swear it’s not battery thing it’s just different.” He admitted. Ford preferred the quiet life in Aurora Bay so much more than anything else. “ Travels fun. My twin basically does that for a living. “

“ Yes and no. I had rich parents who liked to shove any sort of lesson my way. So I learned a few things but I wouldn’t consider it anything to write home about” ford explained not revealing that he was actually a pretty good tap dancer but that was not really something he wanted to discuss on a date. It only made people want to see it. “ okay. If you’re certain. I won’t argue “ @fatefulfortune

what tv show character does your muse relate to the most?

“Probably Earl from My Name Is Earl. I don’t really got the same checkered past as he does but still I’m trying to right my wrongs and add some good into the world now that I got the opportunity to.”

[fatefulfortune]

🍎 — an apple a day! a headcanon about a daily ritual of my muse, and why they do that.

“I don’t feel I really have that many daily rituals right now. I’m kinda living day by day. I guess I smoke a cigarette with my coffee every morning. I’ve just done that since I moved out at eighteen. It also keeps me regular if you know what I mean. Outside of that there isn’t much I reliably do that I can really think of. I guess I talk to my mom a couple of times a week because she’s always calling me and telling me what’s happening in Amarillo. She’s always been the family gossip and now that I don’t work I can’t really ignore her calls.”

[fatefulfortune]

🧨  —  a long fuse! 

“I don’t usually have a temper. The only time I ever really lost my mind was when I caught my fiancee with another man and I had to kick a guy out of my bed. I think my anger was pretty warranted though I never really directed it at my ex. It’s kind of indescribable how she made me feel. I did spend that night in a motel because I wasn’t going to allow myself to get angry with her. She moved out of the apartment shortly after and we didn’t do much talking in the meantime. The only other time I’ve felt truly angry was when she tried reaching out to me after I won the lottery. That phone call lasted less than 30 seconds and I haven’t spoken to her since.”
