“ that’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear in my life “ Juno replied glancing back at him with a small smile. Here expression dropped though that the next sentence. “ oh fuck, I didn’t expect that one either. I wonder if the foam slows down how hard I can kick in here. I am ruining their life if I find out who it is “ Juno mused for a moment knowing that while she usually dealt in celebrity gossip this would still be something shed publish @atlasnolan

open for: anyone! // @aurorabaystarter

where: the palacio @ the foam party

cap: (3/6).

"Watch yourself in that foam over there," Atlas advises over the music, using the hand not holding his drink to point to a particularly foam dense mass on the floor, consideration for the risk of slipping and falling the furthest thing from his booze addled mind mind, "I'm ninety percent sure I felt some foam hiding freak lick my ankle over there."

Juno had been planning on writing about Pride but not in the way that she had a habit about writing about individual people. She didn’t go about disrespecting celebrations like this and more than anything wanted to do a classic 'who is out celebrating ' spotting of anyone she saw while she was enjoying the festivities herself.

Based on how she was dressed for the day it was clear she was more than for celebration than work. Which was why her brow instantly raised the question posed at her. “ do I know you?” She asked glancing back toward the person. They looked familiar though and she had a feeling she did know them on some level at least if not through someone's family" @kennyxtamblyn

where: anywhere in town for pride

Kenny loved these things and was excited to be apart of another pride celebration, but when they spotted someone in the crowd their smile faltered slightly.

“Come to write a story about the event or are you spying on people again?”

[justxjuno]

“ yeah a few things. I feel a bit like life completely went upside down the minute I left high school “ which had been the truth. But in a way that most people didn’t experience. She went from wanting to plan the wedding of her dreams into having tomato through years of court proceedings. It was the worst way to grow up in her opinion. “ honestly though why is it always the janitors closet. The teachers lounge at least has a couch “ @gcldrushed

" i guess you're right about that. is there anything in particular that you miss about yours? " eleanor asked them curiously with a little tilt of her head. life was definitely a lot easier back then, when pretty much all she cared about was getting good grades. " i can see your point, but maybe we should go farther away from the janitor's closet before we start hearing unseemingly noises, " she jested with a chuckle as she took a step back. // @justxjuno

“ it really can. Most people need just the tiniest bit of wiggle room to manipulate a situation” Juno noted. She knew that one well because that was often how she operated when it came to her work. She tried not to be that way, but sometimes no one was listening if she didn’t bend the truth. Then where would she be? “ that’s nice though. Do you spend time with him more now?” She asked giving a small but genuine smile. The ones she reserved for when asked about her own family. She loved her parents and she still loved the family that was supposed to have been her in law’s, but life had other plans

Orianas take on gossip had Juno a bit surprised. As if she had found one of the few people that didn’t hate her profession and what it could do. “ people really shouldn’t believe a lot of it at face value. If they believe it without actual facts I guess they’re just asking to be lead astray” she noted before nodding her head. “ well whatever you’d want to say would be off the record, scouts honor “

“ well let’s hope she gets her moment to shine. I’ve always wanted to throw a drink on someone myself. It sounds so soap opera “ Juno admitted as she glanced back at the couple. “ someone should tell her she’s right even though we have no context and see how he reacts “ @orianacperez

"Exactly. I used to act like I was being filmed all the time unless I was in my apartment. Like even in the backyard. It was exhausting, but anything can be taken out of context." Of course, Oriana knew that she wasn't really the person that people wanted to follow in the media. Still there were people that were obsessed with her dating life and she was still somewhat of an influencer now. "Yeah. I was a bit tired of that. I missed my dad too."

Oriana did not want to mention that coming here was just her running away from her fiancé. That was done and over. There was no drama there. She didn't like to think about the life that she left and she was happier here for it—or so she was trying to tell herself. "Yeah, but that's the fun about gossip in my opinion. Like it's not always true, so you have to do your own research. And the fact that some of it might be false is fun. It's like a little mystery." Oriana let out a laugh. "I have nothing to hide from a journalist, but it's really a boring story anyways."

She laughed at the statement. "For sure," she agreed with a unserious tone to her voice. "Eh, I'll see how it plays out for a bit and then when she throws her drink on him you'll have something to watch. But if she doesn't I can step in."

Juno was often on the outside of things and that was what she preferred. If she wasn’t super involved and kept a distance; there were rarely any ramifications of she kept everyone at arms length. However there were the times she’d run into others or see people she’d written stories about in the wild and Juno would often hide or at the very least not draw attention to herself.

Seeing Arkin O’Connells girlfriend after being unkind to him in writing was something she was trying to avoid. She knew he had gotten involved with local Aurora Bay royalty as a levin but she had been lucky not to run into either in public so far. She could only hope that Sterling didn’t know what she looked like. But then again; Google was a thing. It would be very easy to match her name to her face. Not wanting to take a chance Juno snuck under the awning of one of the buildings in the Mainstreet only to drop her coffee. " Shit"

[justxjuno]

Baby 🌸:What are the traits you look for in a friend?

" It used to be honesty, but as my career has changed and as I've gotten older, I am realizing the thing I look for the most in others is that they can put up with my bullshit. I am not an easy person to be friends with. My work makes me seem like an asshole. I know that about myself. But if you can handle the fact a few celebrities may or may not hate my guts then we can be cool":

[justxjuno]

It was no secret that she was probably made the second she walked in but that didn’t mean Nino still couldn’t enjoy herself. The story might be dead for the day; but the drinks were still pretty good and she was sort of the type to try to have fun even if the work wasn’t happening. “ depends really. “ she admitted. Juno wasn’t the type to go out of her way to mess with someone just trying to have a good night. She just observed. Sometimes that took all night and she’d still get nothing.

“ there’s a couple recognizable faces. But everyone seems on their best behavior. It’s a shame really. “ @salvadorcavendish

Sal eye's her curiously with her response, unsure if her vagueness was deliberately for his benefit or if it was how she generally conducted herself. He turns from where he's been leaned forward at the bar to instead face the other way, looking towards the people who were present that night as he leaned his elbows back against the bar top instead.

"So no one at all of interest for that sort of thing in here?"

Juno felt like she had enough to make some pretty good stories happen by next week. Unless Deuxmoi scooper her first which would annoy the hell out of her. But she didn’t want to think about any of that; at the cost of ruining her night in the process.

Instead she made her way back to where she thought Kalani was and yet it took her a second to find him. It wasn’t like he was particularly hard to spot. He looked like some sort of god among mortals; it with a really chill attitude.

“ wait what?” Juno asked as soon as he mentioned drinks but there were no glasses in hand. “ how did you? I feel like you could have gone back right? The lines not too bad “ @kalanixhale

Kalani was excited to go to prom with another writer, but he hadn’t anticipated how much harder it would be to sneak away and take notes for his novel he wanted to write. Inspiration seemed to strike him at the worst possible times, and he’d have to step away and jot down his ideas in his notebook as fast as possible.

Thankfully he hadn’t raised any brows yet, but when he walked back to his date, she asked that question and he realized he’d have to think of a lie quickly.

“Oh, I was just… getting us drinks.” He was an awful liar and he had no idea how he kept his pen name a secret all these years. He didn’t have drinks in his hands so he let out a soft chuckle and shook his head. “I was thirsty.”

Juno could count her friends on one hand and she knew why. She was friendly but she came with a huge neon sign that told everyone she was press and not the fun kind. The one that may or may not have leaked stories about other people living in Aurora Bay. She’s pretty sure she leaked a few pregnancies and was waiting for the subjects to connect the dots. But it was why she didn’t have a lot of people and also why those she held close meant the world to her. “ I love that “ Juno smiled “ I love work but I know I gotta chill the hell out sometimes. It everything is a story “ she admitted. “ where are we heading?” @maricollazo

——- Work was always marianna's life, from her job as a cook to her passion project offering free dance lessons. she loved dance and originally it was the only job she wanted, but she was also a foodie. knowing and cooking food took over and that's where she landed, but she'd never give up on her dancing dreams. so now she did them free over as a career she once dreamed. though she also was once a party girl and some days she wanted to relive it, like now with juno. ❝  and i will forever take pride in it as you do the same for me. ❞  she shared back with a warm friendly smile. ❝  yes, let's get brunch ! ❞

“ no I get that one. It’s like when you know you’re being filmed. You start to act different. Whether you think you are or not “ Juno admitted, knowing that she would do the same even thought the times she’s been on camera were less frequent lately. “ Valid. Sometimes the smaller is better though. “ both in friends and work wise

When it came to work Juno quickly realized that it was better to work smaller because she didn’t have to refer to a boss. She was her own boss now and she felt a lot more liberated as a result. With people on her own life? Well for Juno that was always small. It was hard to be friends with her and she knew that. “ kind of have to step in when something spirals out of control. You can’t fact check gossip sometimes “ she admitted. “ sounds pretty cryptic and interesting. I’d pick your brain on it but I don’t know how much you’d want to say to a journalist” she noted. Normally she didn’t disclose her profession, it she wasn’t gonna make it a story. Not when the other woman was being so friendly.

“ god he sounds like a keeper “ Juno joked at the notion of the man’s eyes wandering bad. “ it’s up to you. But don’t do it just for me. Do it to ruin his night “ she teased @orianacperez

"Drunk people are fun to watch if they're doing interesting things. I've always preferred watching people when they don't think they're being watched." She thought people gave too much away while drunk and it took the fun out of guessing someone's emotions. In another lifetime she would have made a great journalist. "Me too. Smaller network here in Aurora Bay, but I needed a break from all of that."

Oriana on the other hand did like to cause drama sometimes. It made for a more fun day when she could watch things play out the way she imagined them. She only caused problems for people that needed to cause problems for the people she loved and cared about. "Ah, yeah, that can be a pain. People really should be away of others." She nodded. "Of my own making. Disappeared from my old life, but that's okay. I missed home."

She laughed. So many people would tell her to go off and have fun. She appreciated being told to be comfortable. "He's going to anyway regardless of what I do. It would be her or someone else. I can see the hunger in his eyes." She didn't care either way. "Oh I wouldn't be uncomfortable. I just don't want to act like I care."

“ Neon lights. They blind you in the best way “ she noted with a smile. She did love the desert but there was this part of it that also seems a bit dreary or at least contrasted the night sky of a city . “ Do you ever ask or just do the “ you look familiar “ thing?” She asked before her teasing smile returned. “ you really did. You would have had Aurora bays top tabloid reporter going in circles over you. A rarity these days “ she added teasing him again. @jasonchois

"I can believe it. The night time really makes it seem much more magical." Jason traveled a bit and he got the idea that some places were much better suited for night than day. It gave him a bit of whiplash at times. "I mean at times I do especially if I feel I've seen them before in like a show or movie." It brings out another side of him if he's right and then he has to try not to cause a scene. "I was. Shoot. Should have pushed it farther. Missed a great opportunity right there."

[justxjuno]

“ oh definitely. And that’s not really a bad thing though is it? We all wanna recapture some part of our youth” she said glancing around. Damn she had a million stories following her tonight but to be honest she didn’t want to do anything hard hitting and more to the point mentioning how prom has a way of taking us all back. “ maybe that was where they would go before ? You never now that or all the other rooms are taken “ @gcldrushed

" it’s like people are back in their teenage years, " eleanor said with a chuckle, glancing around at the chaotic energy around them. it all felt like a scene pulled straight from a high school dance. " but i mean, out of all the rooms they could sneak into, really? the janitor’s closet? it’s so cramped in there. not to mention probably filled with mops and bleach, " she added with a shake of her head in disbelief. // @justxjuno

[justxjuno]

“ people love to throw around that word when they have actually no idea what I do for a living it’s cute “ Juno replied glancing back at her as soon as she heard the work stalker. “ you must have missed that first part where I said I had to move somewhere else. And I had to pick a place that didn’t ruin my career. I don’t follow anyone I got places for my own enjoyment and if they’re there it’s a story. I’m not chasing around people physically because I respect their privacy, but in a public place? where I am also being? Not the same thing” she replied shaking her head. “ and believe me I know what it’s like to have people following me around for real “ @moniquexsilva

“Do you think that’s gonna make people angrier?” It would in Monique’s eyes. Surely the celebrities dwindled down to Aurora bay to escape people like Juno. Yet here she was, following them around still. “Like, seems a bit stalkerish if you ask me. They’re trying to get away from you…you’re following them…” @justxjuno

[justxjuno]

“ the peoples trying to sneak off into the janitors closet? Oh I definitely saw them” Juno replied raising a brow as she took note as to whether or not it the couple would be worth doing a story on at any point. “ that kind of unfiltered energy is pretty much only going to be a thing at a prom” @gcldrushed

location: prom at aurora bay high school ( choose your own adventure )

eleanor wasn't exactly sure if it was a good idea to go to the prom since she just got back in town last month and she's still trying to settle back in aurora bay. but it seemed like such a nostalgic event that she couldn't quite pass up. always the people watcher, her eyes widened a little at the sight before her. " did you see that or was that just me? " eleanor voiced with disbelief as she turned to the person next to her, raising her brow towards them. // @aurorabaystarter

[justxjuno]

“ the magic is definitely gone and you quickly realize you’re just in middle of nowhere” Juno noted with a sort of surprised expression. She didn’t mind the area at all but there was a stark difference from day to night. “ do you try to ever figure out who they are while talking to them? “ she asked before her expression grew into a smirk. “ oh you we’re gonna mess with me huh? I kind of wish you would have cause now I won’t make that mistake again with you. You could have seen how long you were gonna get away with it “ @jasonchois

"True. I can only imagine that it's a wild sight." Jason spoke, his smile growing a bit. It wasn't like he tried to hide at all. Even if he tried, he knew it would be futile. His face was too familiar. "I get that. I hardly even know I run into someone else famous unless I'm at an event." He couldn't help but give a laugh as he heard her words. "I mean, I could have dragged it on more for sure." He gave a cheeky grin. "Glad to know that. Must be apart of my charm." He tried to keep a straight face after but failed miserably, laughing again.

Juno had been walking around most of the night trying to get a few sightings to publish. There were a couple couples she hadn’t anticipated and that had her leaving notes and behind to take sneaky photos. She started to walk back to where she had left Kalani and raised a brown when she saw him come back too from somewhere. “ where were you earlier ?” She asked as she finished taking her notes on her phone
