“James Allen? Goofy guy that works at the flower store?” She waved a hand in the air as if dismissing her words. “Never mind, he’s not important right now.” She tried to conceal her surprise when Aster called her baby. She had never done pet names. “W-wow! Um, I’m honored.” Her eyes traveled to the archway that she had entered from. Knowing Ender was somewhere beyond it was making her more anxious by the second. “Let’s do shots.” She held out her hand for Aster to take. She needed more alcohol to wipe these thoughts away. 

“No, I know who you meant,” Aster murmured. She rubbed her eyes, not wanting to talk about her ex. “Alright, shots!” She laughed. “Though I’ve had a bit of a headstart, obviously.” She asked, “Are you okay?” She faintly noticed the younger woman’s panic, but only faintly.

She wasn’t ready for this. Grace still felt shell-shocked from her last interaction. She swallowed and put on a smile. “Stop lying,” She teased, “But thanks. So do you!” She took a sip of her drink, which was way too strong and not strong enough at the same time. “Oh, no. I came with James. That’s kind of bad, isn’t it?” She laughed nervously, tucking some stray hairs behind her ear. “Do you know him?”

“I’m not lying.” Aster giggled, already quite drunk. “James who?” She didn’t notice how shell-shocked Grace looked, the alcohol filling her head with a pleasant haze. “No, I don’t. I came here for you, baby.”

“damn, you look phenomenal.” aster has never been one for dressing up, even with a hot date. she hopes the fact that she’s combed her hair and taken a shower, as she does every day, will be alluring enough for gracie. “do you know the birthday guy?”

[asterfms]

“that’s definitely too wattpad for me,” says aster. “you should try taking me out to dinner first.” she’s bored. that’s part of the appeal, though. getting to live a normal, peaceful life, where sometimes it’s just so achingly dull.

the gay penguins’ love is sweet, but aster has never really managed to decide how she feels about romance or monogamy. she’s absolutely not going to stand there and get jealous of some fucking penguins. “i wonder what those two are thinking right now.”

open: anyone location: at the oceanarium, looking at the gay penguins.

        the oceanarium hits different when you’re stoned. it’s like being inside of a fuck-off massive snow globe. she should be bored of it by now. anyone who’d lived in roswell for more than five minutes had seen all there was to see — had heard the monotone drawl of facts about ocean pollution rattled off by a gum-popping, acne-riddled teenager — but somehow it’s charm still captured bridget, a kind of nostalgia associated with the serenity of it after countless school trips spent fogging up the fish tanks. either that, or she’d made her last zoot too strong, face pressed against the glass, the blue-green tinge washing over her skin as barnaby and his boyfriend marcus waddle past her knees. the board above their heads labels marcus as the ‘naughty penguin of the month’ for stealing margaret, (a predominantly blind emperor penguin)’s fish, but maybe the staff at the oceanarium didn’t have the full story. maybe, in some aquatic rendition of les mis, marcus like the valiant, gay, flippered jean valjean he was had stolen the fish for barnaby, out of love. “i love the way they love,” bridget utters, the comment so faraway and dreamy she can scarcely tell if it’s been spoken or just thought.  “not to be all wattpad, but like this is so romantic.”  turning her attention to her companion, she fixed them with a doe-eyed grin, affecting the girlish drawl of the token dumb-blonde in the movie. “…are we about to kiss right now?”

planet 7 , although he would vehemently deny it , was one of nathaniel’s favorite ways to unwind after a long day at the autobody . with glitter tapped at his temples and colored hairspray slicking back his strands he was already a good few drinks in , which meant he was in the long line of folks wishing to embarrass themselves in tonight’s ‘ roswell’s got talent ‘ showcase . handing a shot to aster , he moved closer as not to yell over the music , “ i got you a drink !! i thought your performance was great , you’ve got my vote , “ he called , “ i need help pickin’ out my song . “

“thank you!” she took the drink from him. “hmm, i did some boy band songs with someone earlier. how about, uh, ‘it’s gonna be me’ by nsync? wait, no, that’s the one with justin timberlake, right?” she yelled, “FUCK justin timberlake!” she said, “how about something by britney spears? how about ‘gimme more’?” quoting the song, she said, “it’s britney, bitch!”

she didn’t know if it was a badge of honor to know all the lyrics by heart or if it just showed her age, but either way she knew she was about to give the people a show.” beelivee when i sayyy that I WANNNNNNT IT THAT wwAAAYYY.” she loved the band and the goofy energy karaoke brought and a mix of the two was all love needed to unleash her free spirit as she began so let her body move to the beat as if she was a true 90s popstar.

“TELL ME WHY!” bellowed aster, but the screen didn’t display those lyrics. instead, it said, ‘but we are two worlds apart, can't reach to your heart...’ her face fell. “what, it’s not time for that yet? boo.” however, she laughed, and tried to continue despite her own interruptions. “...when you say... that i want it that way!!!”

     “ You’re pushing 30 ??? Really ??? I mean , not that 30 is old or anything , but you don’t look like you’re almost 30 . ” Talia giggled and shrugged her shoulders . “ If I were to guess , I’d say you weren’t older than 25 , at the most so … ” Licking her lips , her eyes widened in excitement at the song suggestion coming from the other femme . “  No no , that song is perfect . I say we do it , come on ! ” she said and giggled , clapping her hands together excitedly before she turned around and looked at her friends as she raised her voice so her words would carry over the music being played . “ Guys , I’m gonna do a song with my new friend here , okay ?! ” and then Talia turned around and nodded towards the stage . “ Alright , my new friend , Let’s do this thing ! ”  

“yup, but sometimes i lie to get age discounts on public transport,” aster confessed, then giggled. “happy birthday, talia!” she hollered. “someeebody once told me the world was gonna roll me...”

“Um, actually, I think that I would much prefer it if you kept the mic. Everyone here would, I’m guessing.” Planet 7 is pretty much the only place in town that one can even semi-frequently find Caliban actually engaging in the night life at. Even then, it had taken them almost a year before they had managed to convince themself to venture out to it, and even longer before they would talk to anyone. It’ll take far longer to get them into karaoke, that’s for sure. Forever, most likely. “You sound really good, and I would sound like the lead singer of a garage band that only has one fan. And the one fan is the bassist’s grandma.” 

“That’s very specific,” said Aster. “Can you sing a little for me so I know you’re not just exaggerating?”

[asterfms]

     “ You absolutely were ! ” Talia answered and grinned widely , before a laugh followed and she tilted her head to the side . “ I would gladly buy you a drink , sweetheart . And it is my birthday tonight , yes , but no , you haven’t flirted with someone who just turned 21 . Don’t worry . I actually just turned 23 , so … Nothin’ bad , ” she said and winked , before a laugh followed as she moved her left hand to her face , brushing her curls away from her face . “ Hello , nice to meet you Aster , I’m Talia . And thank you , thank you , ” she said and bowed her head , before a laugh fell from her lips . “ You wanna do a song with me ? It could be a birthday present from you to a total stranger . ”

“23? Oh... well, that’s not as bad, but you’re still in your early twenties. Don’t know if it’s obvious, but I’m pushing 30.” It’s that darn babyface of hers. “Hmm, what song? You want to do ‘All-Star’? From Shrek?” With a shake of her head, she said, “No, I should let the birthday gal choose.”

“ uptownn girll, somethin somethin.. in an uptown worldd.” lightly singing the lyrics before breaking into a laugh of her own at her ridiculous rendition of the song.” aight, you sold me- lets give the people some bsb.”

“alright alright,” said aster. she told the operator about their song choice. when the song began, she had to look at the screen intently, lyrics on screen kinda blurry because of how drunk she was. “you areee... my fiiire... my one... desiiire.” her voice was certainly not that of mariah carey’s or adele’s, but she had a nice tone and could carry a tune. the fact that she didn’t sound like total shit while she was drunk was probably kinda impressive.

     Talia had been out celebrating her birthday with some friends and somehow , they had ended up at the planet 7 because her friends wanted to do some karaoke , and honestly , she kind of wanted to do that too . There was someone who was already singing when they arrived there and therefore they decided to order something to drink at the bar while enjoying the people singing their hearts out . After throwing back some shots , Talia and one of her friends went over to look through the different kind of songs they had . Lifting her head , Talia smiled at the femme and shook her head . “ No , no . Don’t sweat it ! You were great up there ! ” she said and giggled , pushing her hair aside , tucking it behind her ear . “ Great rendition you did , by the way ! Definitely one of my favorites ! ” 

“Was I really?” Aster teased, “You don’t have to butter me up if you want to get me a drink.” She looked at the younger woman and her friends. “Oh, is it your birthday? I hope I haven’t just flirted with someone who’s newly 21 or something." She would definitely back off once she'd find out that Talia was 23. Not that it was illegal, but Aster was almost 30, so she'd feel weird about hitting on someone in their early 20s. With a friendly smile, she said, "Hi, I’m Aster. Happy Birthday, if it is.”

“No, no—” Ren stopped any possibility of putting the mic into her hand in its tracks “I’ve officially reached the ‘must remain no less than ten feet from the stage’ portion of the evening.” And the other patrons probably thanked her for it, too. She had a decent enough voice when it came to singing her daughter to sleep, but on stage? In front of a crowd and three drinks deep? Hard pass. “But you? You were a natural up there. I don’t think anyone’s complaining if you have a few more go’s.”

“Well, do you have a song request?” she asked. 

[asterfms]

luvleeigh·:

“ it’s true, adtr, breathe carolina and afi would back me up.” name dropping some of her favorite bands when she was younger as further proof to back up her hot topic youth.” isn’t that scary as hell? like damn when the hell did I get old- shit.” she chimed back, a small chuckle also breaking in response before pondering the offer.” girl, i don’t know- i might have a i want it that way by the only boyband i’ll ever care about in me. i just don’t think this crowd can handle the heat i’d bring.”

aster laughed. she didn’t consider herself, or the other, old yet. but they were definitely getting older, and actually, she liked it. she liked the thought of growing older. “i’m more of an ‘uptown girl’ by westlife kinda woman. but i’ll duet with you if you sing ‘i want it that way.’ what do you say?”

[asterfms]

luvleeigh·:

“ girl, don’t apologize, shot me right back to two thousand and nine. my prime scene queen days.” she chimed back enthusiastically, drink in hand before decided to nurse a bit more. the buzz from the potent liquid already causing a welcomed warmth as she cheered on the terrible singing but fun energy planet 7 always brought.

“scene queen,” echoed aster. “thank god. i presume you’re close to my age. i definitely don’t need the shock of remembering that early 2000s kids will be old enough to drink soon.” she chuckled, almost giggled... if only she were the type of person who giggled. “do you want to take the mic?”

[asterfms]

open to anyone!

where & when: planet 7 / karaoke night

“sorry,” aster says after finishing her enthusiastic rendition of the millennial classic “i’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you.” a rare, radiant smile graces her visage. a few drinks and some singing are two of the easiest ways to get aster to stop being such a grouch, at least for the meantime. “i’m not hogging the mic, am i?”

“hey, you!” said aster. “were you the one who posted this alien bullshit on the wall?” she held a poster in her arms about supposed extraterrestrial life. “next time you tack your nonsense on walls, make sure it’s not covering up posters of good BANDS.”

“you want to play scrabble or something?” the offer was friendly enough, but aster didn’t bother giving them a smile. not when she was so weirdly hostile towards her, presumably because of soggy.
