a cup of hot cocoa laid in between solvi's fingers as she walked alongside mat. blue eyes caught in a special booth amongst many others -- this time selling pottery, one's made by an artisan for plants in a myriad of sizes. " mat, look! " grabbing his arm, the dancer practically pulled her friend closer to the vase collection. " the plants would be so cute and happy in them " for a second she held the impulse to grab her wallet and carry home several of those. " that one is so nice, if i were a plant i'd want to live there " solvi pointed at an orange pottery.

skating through the rink, solvi tried to remember all those tips mikey had given her these past few months of training. one step after the other she felt somewhat proud of getting through a couple of minutes there without falling. " look, aren't you proud? " blue eyes set on the hockey player, making a little pose before attempting something more. " maybe we can do a little twirl? like that one you showed me " a stupid choice, one proven so in mere seconds, when she lost her entire balance and hit the ice. " shit! "

a portion of nachos and some hot cocoa bundled in a small table for solvi and rose at the winter festival. " so you're a fancy chef, but i bet you've never had something quite like this " such a combination wasn't quite sophisticated or even common, yet the dancer wouldn't pass it in her days off work. " this is basically a dream romantic dinner. nacho cheese, hot cocoa, under the stars... " solvi quipped, a soft grin hanging on her lips. " wanna grab a bite? i need to capture your reaction. "

a couple meters away from the target, solvi dwelled on her choices for these last few minutes. " are you sure this is safe? " it felt stupid to ask, given so many others were attempting it, yet the dancer couldn't help herself. " what if the axe bounces off and someone loses a foot? " although an adventurous woman, solvi usually shied away from anything involving weapons. " maybe we could give the arts and crafts a try? "

" sometimes you forget i come from a family of presumptions rich people... " the redhead taunted, eyes gleaming as she moved across the gigantic chess board. " and there's nothing they loved more than this " beating people at mind games. unlike what many may think judging from her work at the club, she was a smart woman, one that knew her way around a game. " checkmate " she moved the piece, cornering his queen.

open for: @starteroaks

where: @ the giant board games, dealer's choice what game they're playing!

"I think I've got this in the bag," Atlas says with a little too much confidence for someone who doesn't have his next move figured out -- nothing new there. He leans down slightly, peering closely at the board as if trying to invoke some sort of clairvoyant vision for where they would move next so he could best it.

"Your go."

" dude, you got to give me a punch card with some discounts... " solvi barely held her breath in between bites of the divine wings, one's being sold at the winter festival for those who wished to savor such delicacies. " these are so good, bet you've been selling like water on the desert here on the festival " blue eyes analyzed sebastian, as if she could crack some magical recipe from him. " any chance you can get me another portion? with some hot sauce " it was the last one, she promised herself. " got me thinking, maybe you and your husband could do, like, a wings' competition, to see who can eat more. "

a growl of her stomach seemed the only thing capable of taking solvi out of the ice rink. friday nights often felt tied to the club, presenting till past midnight when most streets went silent, it felt pleasant to take some time off and enjoy the winter festival. except she was missing some company, which led to a quick visit to one of the booths -- where aspen should be. " uh.... can i get my friend's company and a portion of nachos ? " she joked, blue eyes analyzing the place for anyone that could cover for her. " don't they have someone else to be in your place for a couple of minutes? you owe me a friendship bracelet. "

location: the winter festival.

status: open.

it was starting to get dark in town, sending floods of people to the winter festival. the holiday light displays were a favourite among both the tourists and the locals, it was when the festival was at it’s busiest. when aspen’s work, beachside burrito, asked for some volunteers to run their booth aspen was quick to pipe up. the girl enjoyed staying busy and was always off doing something or the other. she stood at the booth, hands busy making an order of loaded nachos for a customer that stood in front of her. she drizzled some cheese sauce on the chips before handing it to them. “here you go,” the blonde smiled, moving her attention to the next person in line. “hey, what can i get ya?”

a beer hung in between the soft fingers, slowly savored as solvi wandered through starlight oaks town square -- from one both to another, in an attempt to make her mind up. doing crafts weren't exactly her specialty, yet most artists had a way of making it seem easy.

" the face paint one seems cool... " blue eyes strained in an attempt to check out one of the drawings in a man's face. " i mean, look at that. it seems so much like a dick " at that point solvi couldn't tell if such shapes were an accident or choice. " do you think his into it? or are we gonna witness someone going crazy when they look in the mirror? "

Who: Open! Where: Starlight Oaks Town Square

Normally, Hadlee worked on Friday nights but with the night off she thought it'd be a waste to spend it cooped up inside with a book (even if she wanted to - her books were calling to her). And hey, she figured if she walked around enough, they might run into someone they knew.

They wandered around the festival, popping into the various booths and grabbing more than a few free samples. They stopped to look at the circle of craft workshops. Each booth looked interesting and she didn't know where to start. She glanced over to the person beside her. "What's drawing your eye?"

fingers held tight to the mini golf club -- a purple one at that. " look, i can't keep losing to you, it's hurting my ego " they were down to the fourth course, and although solvi wasn't one to complain, she quickly realized that there was no chance of winning. " sure you're not cheating? or some sort of secret machine of mini golf? " wandering towards one of the beers standing against the fake grass, the dancer took a generous chug of it. " maybe we should make it a bit funky... before hitting the ball we both need to spin around a couple of times " she proposed, a laughter following suit.

a masterpiece amongst bracelets, solvi could barely hide that proud grin from her soft lips. gaze meeting atlas at once, caught in a rare softness. " admit it, this was the best idea i've ever had " she provokes, a friendship bracelet handing from those delicate fingers. " it should be special, you know? our official situationship " perhaps what she was about to do crossed many lines, yet solvi couldn't care less. " give me your hand " getting on one knee in the middle of all other people in that stand, she made the proposal. " atlas nolan, will you be my one and only, partner-ish? "

BIO (SORT OF)

tw: mentions of overdose

youngest of two children, solvi and her brother theo, were often neglected by their parents -- owners of a couple of hotels across the country, they spent most of the time alongside maids or their aunt.

a talented dancer and overall intelligent kid, most imagined sol would have a bright future -- unlike her brother, a known troublemaker and addict.

supportive, she'd often take care of him through their years in college. they were best friends and confidants, so it was no surprise sol's world fell to pieces when she found him dead in his apartment.

her parents coped as they could -- leaving the city for a bigger one where no one would've heard of theo's tragic fate. yet solvi chose to stay -- all too attached to starlight oaks and those she knew.

ditching college, the mellum would dive into dancing for relieve. ballet seemed no longer to fit her taste, leaving space for pole dancing -- something she fell in love with.

a known exotic dancer in town, she'd also take a work as a bartender to help with bills. it wasn't the easiest life, yet she enjoyed every second of it -- perhaps in honor of theo.

I think as a human, it can be so easy to be very inward looking and live a very insular existence, because we typically feel before we think, and experience the world from the inside out; it can be easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. We need to expand our field of vision in order to recognise that shadows that appear to loom so large in our immediate periphery are not as big when we broaden our horizon and witness the expansiveness of the universe. It can be so easy to get caught up in the minutiae of the smaller things that are ultimately leading towards something bigger.

“… and hence [Genya breaks], makes me wanna cry again, because obviously, I’m very emotional in the scene, and as an actor you have to get emotional, umm… in order to convey actual emotion. And that day I had actually not slept, for even a minute the night before and I was worried because that was at the end of the day, and I was really worried about how I would be able to generate, ‘cause it takes a lot of energy, to obviously, emote. And I was worried about not doing justice because I think it’s a really powerful moment in her story…”
