owen  was  always  looking  for  a  reason  to  hold  the  title  of  FAVORITE  CHILD  ,  so  he  could  often  be  found  in  little  shops  around  town  looking  for  something  to  get  his  mother  .  also  ,  he  just  loved  his  mother  –  it  wasn’t  hard  to  convince  him  to  buy  something  for  her  .  he  didn’t  recognize  the  PADDY  WHACK  ,  so  he  was  instantly  a  bit  curious  .  he  enters  the  store  and  greets  the  owner  with  a  nod  .  "  do  you  have  anything  that  will  secure  my  spot  as  number  one  child  ?  "

gigi leaned forward , resting both of her elbows on the countertop. ‘ oh sure. so you want to be a kiss ass , overachieving loser. ’, she nodded her head , her eyes moving from the other to the wide selection around the store. ‘ i know i just put out an ouija board. that might a cute little charcuterie moment. or maybe she could try out that new butter board situation going on with that. is she into those type of things ? butter that is. ’

A smile creeps over her features and she watches the brunette carefully. “You might want to work on your customer service. You are going to scare people away and make no profit.” Levina turns on the balls of her feet, starting to look over the shop. It was knick knacks, and she liked to keep her place bare. Maybe there was something she could find. Something that would call to her. 

‘ oh my god , thank you so sooo much for that advice. ’, gigi over excitedly said before completely dropping her expression. ‘ god... i can’t even imagine having so many wonderful thoughts like that. like wow.... i bet no one had ever thought about that before. ’, she decided to continue her sarcastic act. ‘ business fucking typhoon , ladies and gents. ’, she muttered to herself with the roll of her eyes. once the other turned around.

          was  she  lost?  perhaps  a  little.  getting  here  had  been  easy.  what  was  inside  the  buildings  may  have  changed  but  magnetic  island’s  general  street  structure  and  geography  were  the  same  as  ever.  this  apartment  building,  however,  had  her  in  a  twist.  remi  checked  the  red  number  tag  on  her  key  again.  016.  after  having  gone  along  the  corridor  twice,  once  to  the  end  and  then  back  to  the  main  door,  she  began  to  question  the  accuracy  of  the  keyring.  the  doors  went  to  10  and  the  sign  pointing  up  the  stairs  said  11  -  20.  no  zero.  she  had  just  pulled  out  her  phone  to  call  the  superintendent  when  someone  rounded  the  corner.  remi  turned  to  them  with  a  confidence  bordering  on  intimidation.                         “hi,  could  you  tell  me  where  016  is?”

she had accidentally spent the night at alex’s and decided at the ripe time of 6am it was time to sneak out. she had her keys in her hand and her hair was sticking out in all the right places as she sluggishly made her way down the hall towards the elevators. gigi had just turned the corner , getting closer and closer to her own bed when someone asked her a question. she let out a groan that turned out to be much louder than she intended. ‘ no , i can’t. ’, gigi gave the other a sour look. one would say she wasn’t a morning person , but if thought was really put into it - she wasn’t an afternoon or night person either. ‘ you have the best time finding it though. good luck to ya. ’

perseides​:

give me a place to stand and i will move the earth where: king polydectes’ palace, serifos, greece (auggie’s dream) who: @nowhereinn​ (ate) 

and the rage blinded him, made him deaf to the shouts and the cries. he did not smell the blood nor did he see its stain on the white marbled floor. dripping from his own hands. another head, rolling on the floor. eyes to the heavens; but olympus was silent as its son slayed another monster, perhaps the worst of them all.

man.

and thus king polydectes was defeated, dead by perseus’ hand, while his subjects, disfigured statues, graced the hall morbidly. eyes straight ahead, slowly coming back to himself, the man drew a breath. kept it for a minute, calming his heart, beating loudly in his chest. exhaled, and put back the harpē on his belt. a noise, behind him where the main door was, made him turn. where the expectation had been to find beaten, bruised and broken danaë, only a stranger stood there. perseus frowned, turned to face the woman. his bloodied hand reached for the snakes, on the floor, without looking at it.

“another enemy?” the room echoed with his voice, the warning clear in his tone. “i will not yield.” here, in the palace of king polydectes, stood a man of legend, his face alterning with his newest reincarnation. 

she didn’t remember falling asleep. at this point , gigi tried her best not to fall asleep. her dreams were jumping like crazy and though she seemed to be in bed for eight hours or longer , she woke up as if she had gotten none. usually her dreams were with people she knew in life , people she had met. but after that strange occurrence, there were new people she had never seen before. nevertheless , she was intrigued.

gigi had no clue where she popped into. her mind was fuzzy and so was her vision. she held up a hand to shield herself from any dust or sun in the way of her eyes , but it was still all too bright. ‘ fuck... ’, she muttered to herself as she made her way through the new location.

there was a door that seemed like a good call. to her surprise , there stood someone as triumpth as they were. ‘ good god. ’, gigi let out a laugh. ‘ yield or not , i don’t give a fuck. just let me know where the fuck am i and i’ll let you return to your little thumb wrestling war. ’

             matthew had been meaning to check out the store that had sported a familiar warm phrase from his past for a while now. Honestly, when he had been told about it he couldn’t wait to get in and see what kind of knick knacks he’d find and restore. now he was finding it hard to keep his eyes from closing and his excitement while there was muted. there were voices yelling at him for his attention at all hours of the day and even when he caved and would speak with them those same conversations would follow him into his dreams. To put it bluntly he was exhausted mentally and physically so he didn’t even realize he didn’t change his clothes at all. At the question his eyes narrowed and his neutral expression soured at her reaction. Eyes following down to his attire matthew groaned before sending a pointed glare the female’s way. “ I didn’t even know I was wearing these. “ he grumbled out rubbing his eyes. “ I haven’t exactly been sleeping the greatest, but what are you doing here ? “ matty wasn’t exactly surprised to see her there. they had spent a great time restoring random knick knacks, but the name of the store and then seeing gigi it was enough to send him into a small spiral regardless of them being friendly now.

it was a sight to see to say the list. it had been a while since she last saw matty half awake ( though he looked like he hadn’t slept ) , morning hair and of course the raspy voice. with his pointed stares , gigi took it as a sign to continue doing her work. she looked away , continuing to place the items in a certain order as he answered her questions. ‘ mhm. ’, she hummed , acknowledging that she was still somewhat listening. gigi opened her mouth to ask another question about his lack of sleep , curious to see if the dreams still happened or maybe if they got worse. but , with her own lack of sleep she decided not to poke further. ‘ i broke in. decided i start a career in stealing. ’, gigi bluntly said , giving him a look as if it was obvious that she owned the store. ‘ we don’t open until 8 , matt. ’, she added , taking a step closer to rest her hand on the side of his face. it stayed there for a moment before she softly patted his cheek twice. ‘ but i guess you’re welcome to get the senior citizen hours. ’, she smirked , pulling her hand away. ‘ only if you help out , though. ’

        before she committed to adopting a kitten winnie had done her research into what diet was best, which treats to give, and of course the best of the best litter. she was prepared to be the best cat owner little goose deserved and the start of that was daily walks around the island. smiling at the other smiling faces that they passed the orange tabby was the perfect companion and while he didn’t enjoy the leash at first he was starting to come around at least that’s what she thought until he decided that the walk was over and was pestering the person at a bench’s shoes.  “ I’m so sorry ! I’m still trying to get him used to being on a leash. “ winnie prattles off reaching down to pick up the cat. “ You do have some nice shoes though, so i can’t say I blame him for being distracted.” 

gigi was just about done with her morning run. still out of breath she decided to take a seat on a nearby bench and listen to a few songs before officially returning home. her eyes were closed and the morning wind was hitting her face just right. with her eyes still closed her eyebrows furrowed when she became suspicious of something at her feet. it wasn’t until the voice overpowered the music in her ears she opened her eyes. her furrowed eyebrows soon raised. ‘ get serious, win. ’, gigi stated , bringing her feet up and her knees closer to her chest. ‘ why... what’s this ? for what reason did you do this ? ’, gigi asked as if adopting a cat was some sort of sin.

status: open location: Golden Fleece Thrift

Harley always tried to be a good son. Even though he knew he wasn’t the favorite son in his parent’s eyes as his nurses degree was nothing compared to MBL contract, he would still remember his mothers birthday. The Golden Fleece was the perfect place for someone like his mother who didn’t care for retail value. Harley scoured down the aisles looking at different candles and knick knacks. “Honest question. How many candles can you send to your mother before it gets too old.” 

she decided to close shop early and head out , but she just wasn’t ready to go home yet. luckily , she had brought lucy to paddy whack so there wasn’t any rush to make sure she was okay. gigi’s hand was wrapped around a leash and a bag on her shoulder with lucy leading the way. with the golden fleece thrift’s door’s wide open , her dog couldn’t help , but to enter. ‘ god damn it , lucy. ’, she muttered , trying to stop her but ultimately getting distracted by a familiar voice. ‘ i don’t fucking know , har. ’, gigi shrugged while trying to make sure lucy didn’t wander farther into the store. ‘ maybe as old as she’s getting ? who fucking cares anyways , send her the candle. ’, she added her input before stepping closer to the other only to take the candle into her free hand to give it a sniff.

psychcpomp​:

    he always missed this side of gigi, when they inevitably parted ways. but even when they were together, this was still a bit of a rarity to come around — gigi wasn’t the most affectionate person. but that was alright, the more they spent time together on and off.. because alex began to understand her more, and understand when she says i need you without saying it at all. technically, those words were never uttered on either end — but somehow, it was understood. “ fine, but you’ll need to make it up to me in the next few nights. ” he teases, but he would like her company eventually. he won’t say it, but he regularly got zero sleep — the only times he could sleep is when there was someone next to him. he flinches a little as august’s name was brought up, but never turning to look at her — instead, continuing with the ‘ restocking ’. “ — you won’t get in between anything. besides.. he’s moved out. temporarily. ” he hoped. there was a pause, before he stopped, turning to look at her again with brows furrowed. “ gigi, can i ask you something ? ” alex speaks again, without really looking for an answer to that, “ were you…. did it not bother you at all ? when i kissed your best friend ? ”

🌱 —  she leaned forward , her forearms lightly resting on her knees and her long hair slowly creeping over her shoulder. her blue eyes continued to watch him with each steady blink. ‘ hm... ’, gigi hummed. a debate on whether or not she should spend the night went back and forth in her head , not concluding in an answer. the girl continued not to say much. she took the moment to relax , taking any time of peace she could get even if it was in the club’s storage room with fluorescent overhead lighting. there was something calming about it to her , or maybe it was indeed alex that somehow calmed her. her blinks gradually became longer until the other’s voice filled the room again. she lifted her head slightly and curiously looked up at alex. he didn’t wait for her to respond before asking his question. it took her a moment to process his words , but nevertheless she shook her head without hesitation. auggie had asked her the same question and she continued to ask herself it too. she should be bothered , but for some reason she didn’t have a single opinion about it. gigi reached forward , getting a weak hold of the bottom of his shirt to gently tug him closer. ‘ you have to acknowledge you’ve practically kissed everyone on this stupid island. i don’t think one more person would bother me that much. ’, gigi stated, her gaze looking up at him.

   usually, alex would always be at the very front of the bar, making conversation, starting fights sometimes, serving drinks and turning his charm on for the extra tips. but with the scattered mind of his tonight with everything filling it — from somehow being able to get anything he wanted out of people today by simply thinking about it, to hearing people who weren’t really… there talking to him again. he was stalling; hiding in the back, pretending to be restocking. a familiar warmth wraps her arms around him from behind, and immediately alex melts into the touch as he hears her voice. he puts his hand over hers, turning around with a small grin on his lips. “ hi to you, too. ” he greets, giving her a soft kiss on her lips before pulling back again. “ i told you to stay over last night. didn’t get enough sleep ? ” whatever this was, alex knew it can’t last long — especially when he knew he was a ticking time bomb right now. but for however long it’ll last ? it’ll feel great. 

🌱 —  gigi reciprocated the kiss and then she rested her head against his chest , the warmth of it already radiating onto her face. normally , the girl would’ve been thinking how stupid all of it was. how they were hot and screaming one minute - not wanting to be in the same room together and the next they seemed like they had the most stable relationship. ‘ and i told you i was busy. ’, gigi let go from the embrace, letting her hand rub against the back of his neck for a moment before completely pulling away. it was a lie , she wasn’t busy , but it was easier to lie than to explain why she jolted awake every hour or so. taking a few steps to the side, gigi used a crate as a seat. ‘ not at all. ’, her sleepy eyes studied his features. ‘ besides , whatever’s happening between you and auggie right now… i don’t want to be in between it. ’

𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 : paddy whack , opening hours 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 :  @deathsrites

🌱 — gigi rubbed her eyes , still trying to get out of the grogginess slump. her dreams became more and more chaotic , but the bigger issue was she was losing control. jumping from one to the other , sucking up all her energy. it was early morning and gigi didn’t dare to try to sleep again , so she freshened up and made her way to the store. it wasn’t needed , but there was still a few more hours until opening so to pass time she fixed each little knick knack’s placement. being half awake when she entered , gigi had forgotten to lock the door behind her which was why she was completely surprised when she heard the chimes of the new doorbell. she whipped her body around , picking up the nearest thing to her ( a small clock ) and held it up. her cautioned eyes were almost immediately replaced with confused ones. ‘ matthew... ’, gigi muttered. the two of them had decided to patch things up a few weeks back , but she still did everything in her power to make sure they didn’t run into each other. her blue eyes fell down to the colorful shorts with those annoying palm trees that she had once despised long ago. ‘ wha- why are you wearing that ? ’, she continued to ask questions , setting the clock down and bringing a hand to her lips to hold back laughter she knew was coming.

🌱 — it was inventory day. she knew it was inventory day considering alex had almost immediately responded when she texted him. the past few nights were rough , she spent half of her night in a state of being half awake and half asleep and just when she fell asleep she would jolt awake covered in her own sweat. she was crankier than normal and needed a distraction. besides , who was better than her newly renounced boyfriend. gigi lifted her shades as she entered the dark and empty club revealing her tired eyes. she rolled around to the back where she suspected alex to be. ‘ hey. ’, she stated , her voice flatter than normal. gigi stepped close enough to pull alex in for a hug from behind. the tension in her body somewhat subdued as she melted into the hug. odd enough , it was something that she needed. ‘ i’m so fucking tired. ’

estellasoul​:

if  there  was  to  be  a  knick-knack  shop  on  the  island,  estella  would  be  there.      but  there  was  something  about  gigi  that  maybe  caused  them  to  feel  a  bit  insecure,  knowing  that  she  had…  been  with  alex (?),  and  they  still  seemed  close  —  and,  well,  estella  didn’t  see  themselves  as  exactly  desirable,  especially  when  she  compared  herself  to  others.      there  was  also  something  else  about  gigi  that  ‘triggered’  something  in  estella,  an  energy  that  seems  to  weave  its  way  into  estella’s  dreams  on  occasion.    estella  doesn’t  dislike  anyone,  not  really,  and  so  she  doesn’t  dislike  gigi  for  any  reason  —  it’s  just  odd  for  estella.  

and,  to  be  frank,  she  was  still  off  since  her  annual  trip  to  go  and  visit  her  mothers  resting  place  —  only  having  returned  last  week.      drawn  into  the  store  by  the  front  windows  of  merchandise,  and  the  fact  that  it  was  also  a  new  store  and  not  too  far  away  from  books  &  crannies,  “hey,  and  thanks,”  estella  replied  a  little  awkwardly,  beginning  to  move  about  the  store  and  take  in  it’s  wares.    “i  like  the  name,  by  the  way.    ‘with  a  knick  knack,  paddy  whack,  give  a  dog  a  bone—’”  they  recited  the  little  rhyme,  turning  towards  the  counter  as  she  did  so,  “like  the  nursery  rhyme,  right?”

it was astonishing how much gigi wasn’t in the know. there had plenty of times names have been thrown around on the island , especially with the normal group she hung around , but none of them ever registered in her head. for however long she had been on the island , gigi could name at least 7 names, maybe 8 tops if she guessed. she had seen the other’s face around , but again… she couldn’t put her finger on where and frankly , she didn’t care enough to run through the archives of memories in her mind.

gigi stood there, unamused, as the other recited the nursery rhyme she had heard many many times before. it had been so long since she last heard it out loud , and it was an odd feeling hearing it from someone else’s mouth. ‘ yeah. where else ? ’, she gave the other a short response. ‘ you don’t get a free item because of that , by the way. ’

levina-garcia​:

Levina always liked to check out what was new. There was talk about a new store and she knew she had to go see it. She pushed the door open, her eyes glancing around the shop – interesting. Maybe there was something she might like. Her head turned towards the voice. Customer service - eh. “I could always use some help.” She struts over to the counter, a smile on her face. “What would you recommend?” Her hands rested on top, eyes flickering down to the paper. 

‘ hm. ’, the brunette let out her signature noise, tossing her hair over her shoulder. her mind went back and forth on whether or not she should smile back at the other. the debate was far too long , and by the time the other asked a question. gigi let out a small , yet dramatic sigh. her eyebrows furrowed down just as her customer service persona left the room. ‘ i don’t know what you like. and i can assure you you won’t like anything i suggest. so , i don’t know ? look around ? ’

[nowhereinn]

psychcpomp​:

    of course, gigi wouldn’t be gigi if she wasn’t leaving out important information from her life, such as starting up a new business. not that alex would usually be first to know right now about this kind of stuff.. but even when they were together, there were some necessary facts ( or at least, alex thought they were ) that she would leave out, only bringing it up casually, if ever, with a by the way... and so, when he heard the news from someone else, alex made his way over. gigi and alex were once again in a weird limbo with each other — not quite together, but he knew what it looked like, usually, when they were almost there again. you’d think they’d stop this repeating cycle, but neither of them accept any form of therapy, so bad habits it was !

    he grins, listening to her greet a customer in a tone he barely hears on gigi. when the customer walked off in a different direction, alex steps in. “ um, excuse me, miss ? ” he begins to tease. “ where can i find the sex toys around here ? ”

a string of curses ran through her head when alex peaked around the corner. it wasn’t that she was avoiding him per se , but she hadn’t seen the other since his eventful birthday. her schedule was racked up with the store , auggie’s apartment searching , and any other excuse she had to ignore his texts. ‘ fuck off. ’, gigi muttered to the other in a hush voice , her head already starting to ache. ‘ i’d try a store on the other side of the island. ’, she added, shaking her head. her focus went back to skimming through the manual for the security camera.

‘ come here. ’, the girl said, making space for alex behind the counter. she glanced up to see if the other customer wasn’t spontaneously looting every single item in the store before setting her blue eyes on alex again. ‘ set this up. ’, gigi instructed rather than asking. ‘ i want it over there. ’, her finger pointing to the left corner behind her.
