--- JUDITH.

YOU  KNOW  THAT LOOK   your  mom  gives  you  when  you’re  doing  something  you  shouldn’t  be  doing  ?  well  ,  that  was  the  face  riddled  on  judith’s  olive  complexion  when  her  eyes  DARTED  to  her  son  billy .  judith  quickly  rushed  over ,   ❝  whatever  you  do ,  don’t  listen  to  him  or  take  ANYTHING  from  him .  ❞  she  enunciated  the  last  of  her  words  as  she  snatched  away  the  prank  gum  from  the  rebellious  young  man .     ❝  do  you  think  ,  as  mayor  ,   it’s  a  corruption  of  power  to  ban  every  prank  shop  in  the  city  ?   ❞

    TUCKING  CHOCOLATE  TUFTS  BEHIND  HER EAR  ,  ramona  bites  back  a  laugh  and  settles  for  a  smirk  ---  she  almost  fell  for  it , too ,  so  she  had  to  hand  it  to  the  kid  .  “  he’s  got  an  innocent  face  ,  QUITE  the  dangerous  combo  ,  ”  the  brit  remarks  ,  then  considers  the  mayor’s  inquiry  .  “  probably  ,  but  world’s  on  fire  so  it’s  sort  of  the  lesser  of  many  evils  .  at  the  very  least  ,  maybe  have  them  think  twice  before  selling  stuff  to  kids  .  ”

she had been waiting for this all day. a warm, soothing cup of coffee had been on her mind since she woke up and now it was finally in front of her. when her hands grabbed at the mug, the warmth caused a giddy shake down her spine. but as soon as the liquid touched her tongue, all she could do was gasp. it wasn’t warm, it was boiling. “fuck!” she escalated, the liquid pursing through her taste buds and back into the mug she had been holding. “holy fuck - “ she huffed, an embarrassed laugh following as she took a breather. 

     SHE  HADN’T  INTENDED  TO  BEAR  WITNESS  to  that  ,  and  her  rather  bold  responses  had  the  petite  brunette  immediately  laughing  at  the  display  --  but  swift  to  offer  the  spare  iced  coffee  she  had  .   “  people  shit  on  me  for  needing  two  iced  coffees  in  a  day  ,  but  i’ve  never  had  that  problem  with  one  of  THESE  babies  .  ”

“yo, you —” he points, “yeah, i’m talkin’ to you. you look like you could do me a favor real quick.” he waves his hand, flags them down with them ‘c’mon’ motion as he rubs his hands together all too readily. before them is one of those blow-up jungle gyms, slides and walls galore. “i need a partner for this obstacle course. you don’t got any knee problems, right??”

LOCATION: PIER 39, SIX FLAGS, SOME BASIC CITY TOUR, UHHH.

         RAMONA  IS  HALF - FLABBERGASTED , HALF - TOUCHED  BY  THE  OFFER .  quirking  a  brow  at  the  male  ,  she  takes  him  in  for  a  moment  before  gawking  at  the  course  .   “  i  don’t  have  knee  problems  ,  but  i  have  very  general  hand - eye  coordination  and  scrawny  arm  problems  .  i  mean  ,  look  at  me  --  am  i  REALLY  the  one  you  wanna  battle  this  out  with  ?  ”

moereyes :

there  was  another  tray  of  hors d'oeuvres  going  around  the  party  crowd  —  moe  helping  herself  to  about  two  ,  maybe  twenty  .  her  body  dancing  to  the  music  &  the  various  chatter  of  those  around  ;  her  mouth  welcoming  the  expensive  appetizers  .  “  these  hales  know  what’s  good  …  “  the  woman  hummed  in  approval  before  catching  the  eye  of  someone  .  “  what ??  i’m  HUNGRY  .  “ 

location:  near  the  dance  floor.  status:  open  for  interactions. 

         “  WON’T  FIND  A  SHRED  OF  JUDGEMENT  HERE  ,  I’M  JUST  trying  to  find  the  crab  cakes  ,  ”  ramona  explains  ,  apparently  willing  to  venture  into  the  jostling  crowd  to  snag  ‘em  .   “  think  i  can  dance  my  way  through  for  food  ?  ”

━━━  LILY COLLINS. TWENTY-EIGHT. CISFEMALE. SHE/HER. ↷ do you hear mona lisas and madhatters, by elton john? that must be ramona lennox. she has been living in san francisco as a costume designer for ten years. during that time they have earned the reputation of the seamstress. it makes sense you know, they can be loquacious and brash. but let’s not forget they’re pretty creative and emboldened. 

hello frands ! zam again with another lil stinker for u !!

ramona comes from london, and she’s the daughter of a stage actress and a playwright father

they’re a very wealthy & esteemed family, especially on the west end. her parents were passionate, fickle people. they fought and bickered, they put their whole life out on display. she assumed it was to entertain themselves, because they didn’t have much to say behind closed doors. 

ramona adored the stage, but she’d always linger in the back, watching the mastery of costume designers and incredible fabrics they worked with. much to her mother’s chagrin, design is what she was drawn to -- not acting. 

though the family traveled around the world often, her parents’ marriage essentially imploded, and at age seventeen, she moved with her father to los angeles while her mother ( fresh off an affair with a director ) stayed in england. 

she loved the spirit of los angeles, the echoes of old hollywood and the monuments she found of her heroes, but the scene itself was a bit awful. people seemed to be phony and self-serving. 

she eventually moved up to san fransico, and she hasn’t looked back since. 

though based in san francisco, she does tend to travel a lot, which leaves her a little frazzled at times. 

she’s very honest and speaks her mind, though she’s working on only speaking her truth when it can be helpful. 

very wary of developing actual feelings because she a) doesn’t want it to get in the way of her career and b) isn’t sure she believes in it after watching her parents fall apart

that old story

but gimme neighbors, roommates, best friends, enemies, people she’s designed for, maybe a will they/won’t they situation, fwb, gimme someone she hates but also kind of digs because that is a trope we Love, anything !!

❝ yeah it’s barbie — oh my god, short for barbra. i put it under barbie though. yes, yes — B-A-R-B-I-E. ❞ the woman played with the ends of her bangs while she was busy on what sounded to be a very annoying phone call. seconds of ‘mhms’ passed,  ❝ another two weeks, are you serious ? alright then. okay. fuck you too then. bye. ❞    she ended the call and slipped the phone into her handbag. looking at the person beside her she sighed loudly. she sighed louder noticing the person had yet to notice,  ❝ aren’t you going to ask me about how my car was only supposed to have an oil change but then they wanted to change sometihing else because it was old or whatever — and now i’m stuck taking an uber for another two weeks ?❞ she let out an exhausted sigh. ❝ anyway since we don’t wanna talk about me how was your weekend ?  ���

       “  PRETTY   RISKY   TO  SAY  FUCK  YOU  to  the  person  who  the  person  who  will  have  your  car  for  the  next  two  weeks .  ”  elizabeth  remarks  around  a  wry  smile  ,  nose  wrinkling  at  the  brunette .  “  i  don’t  remember  much  of  it  ,  so  i’m  assuming  it  was  a  good  time  .  and  if  you’re  nice  enough ,  i  can  drive  you  around  for  a  bit  .  ”

[rvmonaes]

        “  I  DUNNO  ,  I  COULD  BE  --  BUT  TODAY’S  BEEN  SHIT  ,  so  if  shellfish  is  the  way  i  go  ,  then  . . .   ”   elizabeth  trails  off  with  a  shrug  ,  smirk  playing  at  her  lips   as  she  squares  her  shoulders  in  preparation  .  “  regardless  ,  i  am  honest  and  very  hungry  ,  so  what  better  audience  do  you  need  ?  ”

Slung over the counter with her focus poured over the newly printed menus in front of her, the only thing running through Sienna’s mind was the growing to-do with seemingly no end. She let out an overly exaggerated sigh, lifting her arms above her head to try to stretch out the fatigue. Shockingly, it didn’t do the trick. “You know what? You can help me. The kitchen crew’s doing a dry run of the revised menu and I need an honest critic. You’re not allergic to shellfish, right?”

--- ELIAS.

When he heard those words Elias almost choked on the french fry he was chewing. “Let me see that.” He added with a cocked brow and a chuckle as his hand grabbed her phone away. He looked at the image - unimpressed. “That’s the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen some nasty shit.”

         “   WHAT  SORT  OF  NASTY  SHIT  HAVE  YOU  SEEN  ?  ”  elizabeth  offers  the  question  with  the  same  casual  air  as  she  gestures  to  the  bartender  for  another  drink  ,  picking  at  the  pretzels  and  arching  her  eyebrows .  “  come  on  ,  i  love  gross  ---  disgust  me .  ”

--- LOGAN.

“i hope you’re giving me his name, number, and address.” logan let out to his little sister before he was crossing his arms. “soon he won’t even have a penis to send you.”

         “  THAT’S  SO  ARCHAIC  ,  LOG  ---   this  is  a  two  -  way  street  ,  and  i’m  not  having  that  in  or  around  me .  i’m  perfectly  capable  of  slicing  off  dicks  on   my  own  ,  thanks  .  ”  she  offers  him  a  taunting  smirk  ,  poking  her  tongue  out  at  him  .  “  can  we  drink  now  ?  ”

[rvmonaes]

‘  careful,   ’   she   says,   balancing   a   glass   of   red,   red   wine   in   one   hand   while   tutting   them   with   the   other   ;   she’s   having   much   too   good   a   time   !   ‘   my   metabolism’s   a   total   beast   .   i   can   eat   and   drink   you   under   the   table,   no   questions   asked   .   ’

with   :   open location   :   utp   (   e.g.,   valentine’s,   bar 587,    her/your   place,   a   restaurant,   the   pier   )

         “  YOU  SURE  ABOUT  THAT  ?  ”   in  an  ironic  twist  ,  emily  has  a  presence  that  elizabeth  can  tolerate  without  additional   substances   ---  and  yet  often  indulges  the  most  in  her  company  .   “  sounds  like   a   challenge  ,  and  i’m  on  a  winning  streak   -  booked  a   commercial  today  and  everything  .  ”
