    “My my, don’t you look stunning. Plans for tonight? A hot date perhaps?” Curious eyes linger on the other’s form, rosy petals forming into a well known smile. Showing interest in people always got them the furthest. Compliment them, make them smile and eventually Cheshire will have all the info they need to later use against the other. 

“Just another night out.” Roman says with a laugh, waving his drink at them with an easy, relaxed smile. As much as he appreciates the compliment, he’s not exactly out here tonight to find someone to spend the night with. Not tonight. “And for the record, I always look this good.”

    “What a bunch of imbeciles,” Candice mutters, her fingers tightening on her phone as she had just finished sending another text back. Today had been aggravating, what with her staff simply seeming unable to finish their tasks properly. “One would think that seeing the difference between maroon and burgundy really should not be such a difficult task.”

“Not everyone’s quite as educated about colours, you might have to give them a pass.” Roman says with a slightly amused and mostly polite smile. He personally doesn’t see what the fuss is about but - clearly she’s bothered by it, and he’s not here to aggravate her more. “Everything alright?”

“Oh!! He’s threatening me! Okay. Show me your best.” Lil challenged Roman with a laugh. She lobed a little good friendly competition. When he paused, Lil sighed, “What do you do when you have a crush on someone?”

Roman can’t help but grin as he picks up the bowling ball and steps up to the lane. He doesn’t take his shot right away though, considering Lil’s question for a moment. “Do you mean when I specifically have one? Or in a more general sense? Because - I guess it depends.” He glances over at Lil, a touch curious. “Who is it?”

“alright look,” vanellope started, holding up two shots of tequila, one in each hand, with a smirk against her lips, “the bartender ended up pouring me two shots instead of just the one i asked for, so,” she extended a glass out to the person in front of her with raised brows. “don’t make a girl drink all by herself at this damn party.”

“As if I would ever let you drink alone.” Roman says with a laugh, taking the glass without hesitation. He’s right at home here in this party, with drinks and friends and more than enough going on around them to keep himself entertained, but the company of a friend like Vanellope is always more than welcome. “What’re we drinking to?”

Lil gave a little curtsy as her ball rolled back towards them on the machine thingy that went through the floor. She didn’t know what it was called but she liked to imagine it was something like ‘The Spitter.’ “That’s what I thought. Now, lets see if I get a spare.” She did. It was a near miss but luck was on her side. “Okay, Rom! Your turn. Show me what you got.” As she stepped to the side, the girl tilted her head, “Hey… can I ask you something?”

Roman watches with an amused sort of smile, clapping when Lil gets her predicted spare. “That’s pretty good! But can you keep it up for the whole game?” He asks with a grin and a wiggle of his eyebrows, pushing himself up from his seat. He’s just about to go and pick up his ball when her question hits him, and Roman can’t help but pause. “Yeah, of course - what’s up, Lil?”

vanellope made herself busy by cleaning off her hands with the rag that was hanging around the loop of her jeans. it wasn’t that being around roman was anything new - they had spent a lot of time together over the years - so him showing up at the track wasn’t the weirdest thing, but it was a blast from the past. “shit happens, i get it,” van said with a shrug, not even wanting to hear anymore apologies about not having kept in touch. the brunette was rather used to that in her life, so it wasn’t anything new. “but you know i’ll never say no to a caffeine rush,” the girl said with a smirk, stepping over to the boy as she waved towards the tool set up behind her, “al that shit can wait, i’ve got some time to catch up … unless you’re here to ask me for some money or to hide a body? then we may need some tools for that.”

If there’s one thing Roman’s glad for when it comes to Vanellope, it’s the fact that they have the kinda friendship that’s not effected by time. Even if they fall out of touch for a while and don’t see each other, they both get it - and they seem to be able to pick up where they left off. “Thanks.” He answers simply, a relieved sort of smile on his face. “Caffeine rush it is, then.” Roman laughs and shakes his head, waving at the tools. “No no, no money and no body. Not today at least, try again next week.”

At his response, Mabel tried to make her faltered shoulders seem not as evident, though at his offer, she tilted her head slightly. “Well damn, pretty, kind, and considerate. They really broke the mold with ya, huh?” She grinned playfully, resting her chin onto her hand, lightly poking at his shoulder with her free one. “You can get me two drinks.” She decided, holding up her peach Shirley temple before taking a moment to look him over, squinting her eyes a little. “….Okay, what’s her name?” The younger girl drawled out the last word with a sing-songy voice, wiggling her brows up at him. It wasn’t that she was that conceited to think that it was the only reason he would be turning her down, Mabel just always felt like she had a knack for knowing when someone was crushing, call it a gift, she would gladly accept. The catch was only able to catch it for other people, while she on the other hand could live out her whole life completely oblivious to anyone ever crushing on her unless they decided to just come out and say it.

Roman wanted to let her down easy. It’s not that her attempt to catch his attention hadn’t been good - any other time, Roman would’ve probably flirted right back without hesitation but.. things are a little different now. He’s glad when she grins at least, breathing a sigh of relief as the conversation shifts to one a little more friendly. “Oh come on - just seems like the right thing to do, you know? I’m not here for messing with people like that.” He says with as sheepish smile, shrugging his shoulders. “Two drinks, I can do that.” He waves to the bartender for another drink for her and for himself. “Who is who? I mean -” Roman does his best to play it off, not to seem too obvious about his utterly ridiculous crush but he gets the feeling it’s not going that well. Still, he can try right?”

Have a crush on anyone?

honesty hour - accepting !

“Yeah I do, and she’s pretty incredible from what I know so far.”

@appledcheeks

[romanflorian-blog]

jean jacket or leather jacket?

honesty hour - accepting !

“I don’t think I can pull off a leather jacket so I’m going to have to go with jean jacket.”

[romanflorian-blog]

what's your guilty pleasure?

honesty hour - accepting !

“Guilty pleasure? I don’t know if I really have one - I tend not to feel guilty about the things I like these days but I guess. Look, some people probably think this is stupid but I’m a sucker for old school disco stuff. You can’t look at a disco movie and tell me you don’t think it looks like a lot of fun.”

If it were a few weeks earlier, Roman would definitely turn on all the charms. He’d be sweet and funny and dashing, he’d make sure to throw in just enough compliments - always genuine of course - to make her feel special but not so much that it’s cheesy and lame. Because she’s definitely eyec-atching, definitely interesting, and definitely flirting with him.

Right now, though, Roman’s more romantic thoughts are reserved for someone else - and instead, all he can do is smile and laugh kindly. “Listen - I’m really flattered, trust me. I’m just not looking for something right now, you know?” He offers gently, giving her a kind smile. “But let me get you a drink anyway?” [ @glittcrpines ]

considering she was a professional, and wanted to keep it that way, vanellope spent a lot of her time at the racetrack practicing her turns and testing out whatever new improvements her mechanics made to her engine or architects to the track. obstacles were one of the best ways she got to be to good, and she always did like the added excitement of new. after what had been a good run, she climbed out of the window of her car and her eye was stuck on the waving hand walking towards her. pulling off her helmet, it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the sun, but then she recognized him.

with a brow piqued, and a smirk against her lips, she nodded towards him as a greeting. “never! i’m like a fine wine, the older i get the better,” vanellope said with a laugh, tucking her helmet under her arm, “what are you doing here? haven’t seen you in ages …” there was a pang of guilt that came with her words, knowing that it was both of their faults for falling out of touch, but she didn’t try to dwell on that too much. she was working on letting go lately.  

“No arguments here on that.” Roman agrees with a smile, and he means it. Vanellope’s a good friend, someone he can count on - she was there for him when he was searching for a way to avoid cope with his father’s death, and she’s been there for him plenty ever since. And he knows he’s dropped the ball on keeping in touch but - it’s never too late to fix something like that, right? “I know, I - sorry about that.” He says quietly, rubbing the back of his neck. He wants to do better, to be a better friend, to keep in touch - that’s the kind of friendship Vanellope deserves, after all. “Life kinda got in the way but - I was hoping we could catch up? Maybe grab a coffee if you’re done here?”

“Met my match? Oh you wish!” Lilian really didn’t know how to bowl but she thought it was hilarious to be over confident about it. Really, who bragged about being a good bowler? “When I win, you owe me some froyo!” Lil took the bowling ball and, lining herself up with the pins, she geared up the ball between her legs and let it go with both hands. The ball knocked down about half the pins and Lil did a little happy dance, “Oh hell yeah!”

Roman’s not a fantastic bowler really - he’s decent, he can play a fun game but he’s nothing special. Still, it’s fun to try and rile Lil up, get her all competitive and have a little fun while they’re here. “Right back at you, Lil.” He says with a laugh, watching as she takes her turn, a smile on his face at her reaction. “Okay, not bad.” He says with a grin.

“you ever get so stressed and have such a headache you only want to eat ice cream and pizza? no? anyway, what are you looking for today?” // @romanflorian

“Uh - only always.” Roman responds with a kind chuckle, reaching to pat her on the shoulder gently. “Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I was just looking for some music related books, actually.”

ariel gives him a nod in reply, pulling back her cone before continuing to eat it. hey, she offered at least! she wouldn’t argue about getting to finish off her treat alone. a soft laugh leaves the girl and a smile settles. “maybe not wild plans but i know you have to have something going on today. don’t hold out on me now, roman.”

The last thing Roman wants to do is put his friend out, especially when she’s gone out of her way to bring him something. Besides, he definitely doesn’t need it - he’s more than happy without a cone, really. “Honestly? Nothing exciting. I need to finish off a paper, and then I’ve got some - some family stuff to deal with. So nothing anyone would want to deal with today.”
