She couldn't recall the last time they'd bumped into one another, but this seemed all too fitting. As she leaned against the wall in a line for the bathroom, she put on her best show smile and hoped that it would be enough to show the other that she wasn't looking for a fight. "Funny seeing you here. Looks like I beat you by a few minutes, but fear not, this line hasn't moved an inch. I guess someone had too much coffee? Or stage frieght? I don't know. Either way, it might be a wait."

The only thing better than a festival was a festival with alcohol sales. He'd only just grabbed his second beer when he nearly bumped into a smaller frame. "My apologies," he offered as he cut himself off with another drink. Maybe this was his second from the stand, but he'd pregamed before showing up. "Well, look who it is. I haven't seen you around the shop yet. Did you change your mind about that piece or just waiting for the right time?" The music behind them paused before it began blasting again, this time, the smooth jazz traded out for something a little more rugged. "You having a good time?"

She'd only left her seat to make a quick trip to the restroom, but had she known that within the five minutes of her absence that a certain someone would have picked the seat next to hers, she never would have left in the first place. Unsure of how to approach the other, she cleared her throat and slipped atop the stool she'd been occupying moments earlier. "Hope you don't mind, I was sitting here. Had to take a timeout, but if it means anything, first round can be on me." A peace offering, she thought. Surely that would mean something.

Even though he'd grown up in ranch life and had spent his near forty years as a cowboy, hard and difficult days were still hard and difficult days. Silas had done his best to clean up; to wash the caked dirt from his hands and removed most of the dust and sweat from his face and neck with a damp towel he'd given himself a good rub down with, but— his clothes were still dirty, he still smelled of the ranch, and looked as though the day had beaten him up.

It certainly had.

There was dried blood damn near around the cowboy's left forearm, still caked with some dirt as he hadn't washed that far up, thanks to the cut the barbed wire had dug into his flesh. When Silas spotted the familiar face his dirty boots carried him over to Amara's table. "Can't have that," he commented as he lowered himself into the booth seat across from her with a groan, "a beautiful woman eating on her lonesome."

Perhaps she hadn't wanted company, a thought that hadn't dawned on him until after he settled. "Unless you wanna be alone," Sy chuckled, "in which case you're outta luck because I don't think I can move now." Too tired from the long physical labor of the day, his body had relished the rest too greatly.

— SETTING: the mall ; tuesday evening — AVAILABILITY: closed starter for AMARA OBI | ( @amaraobi )

"...I mean, don't get me wrong..." Sara began, chewing softly on the inside of her cheek as she watched people walk past them at the mall. Apparently, Black Friday frenzy was still a thing, even on the following week. Yay, capitalism? "...but are you sure you want to go on a honeymoon trip with your ex?" Being friends first with Omar, and now, having tackled this friendship with Amara, Sara didn't feel weird to ask this.

Even if she didn't have feelings for her ex-husband anymore, it would still be weird to go on a trip with him... imagine still having lingering feelings for the other? In that case, it was Omar. He was the one who had admitted still caring about his ex like that. "Red would look amazing on you, by the way." The short-haired woman said, holding a pair of a two-piece up for Amara to see.

closed starter for @amaraobi at haunted acres

The Halloween festivities didn't usually do much for Tyler, but since she'd been living in Providence, there was always one activity that she never missed - the paintballing at Haunted Acres. She'd just finished paying and getting all of her gear, strapping all the safety equipment on off to the side with an eager bounce to her movements. Head shifting up, Ty gave Amara a brief nod of greeting. "All the work you've been putting in at the gym should have you ready for this," she pointed out, having run into Amara a few times at the gym now since she'd initially agreed to help her out now and again. "You ever done this before?"

With the Halloween season in full swing, the attraction was inevitably crowded. The lines to the haunted houses were long but Elliot knew they would be worth the wait. if there was something Providence Peak did well, it definitely was Halloween and all things scary. With an estimated waiting time given he settled in the line, ready to test out the haunted house before Thea joined him. "People just love haunted houses, don't they?" He asked the person next to him in line, trying to strike up a conversation to pass the time that was left.

"Diner food is my guilty pleasure anyway, so even if I didn't hear great things, I'd still be excited to eat," Albie admitted with a chuckle. He might have trained his entire life to prepare and serve high quality, Michelin star meals, but it didn't mean his standards were that high once the hunger bug bit.

He crinkled his nose in sympathy, barely glancing at the menu. He'd probably just get a coffee, not wanting, or needing, anything stronger.  "I'm really sorry, is there anything I can do to help?" Albie was never one to pry, he hated people being in his business at the best of times, but even if it was just to lend an ear, not knowing if there was anything for him to do in a practical sense. "Life here's good," He said, genuine smile on his face. He was enjoying his job, he got to see Lorelai a lot more, and had made some solid friends here, the woman in front of him being no exception. "I'm starting to see why people stick around here."

"Well, thank you. I take that as high praise." Yao smiled, appreciating the woman's kindness. It always made him feel good to hear he was doing a good job leading his classes. "And that's totally fine if you take it easier. It's not bootcamp, there's no drill sergeant here.. it's a different story at Peak Fitness. That is a bootcamp." He shrugged, presuming that might not be her speed. "I certainly wouldn't stop you from enjoying a glass of wine. If that helps you relax, go for it."

location — skyline shopping center.

character — @amaraobi

He knew little about gift buying, not because he didn't have the heart for it, but because nothing felt good enough. He'd paraded around countless stores, had picked up a hundred items too, only to sit them back atop the shelf in disappointment when it didn't feel like enough. Would anything ever be enough and if not, what the hell was he supposed to do about that? The male had only taken a break to pull two cigarettes from their carton. One after the other, he puffed and puffed until the last spent stick had been tossed in the ashtray. It was on the way back towards the doors that he spotted a woman that had been in the shop just a few weeks earlier. "Let me get that for you," he offered, stepping a little quicker towards the door to pull back on the handle and to offer her entrance before himself. "And before you thank me, I might ask your help for a little something."

The interior designer had been more of her aunt's idea, but in the end, it almost seemed like more of a need than a want. Her minimalistic apartment in New York had a quarter of the space her home did, so decorating had never been much of an issue. It was only a challenge when she realized she needed more things to fill the space she'd never had. "She's incredible. Truly, I know nothing about putting a room together and she had it all mapped out from day one." All Nadia had to do was pick between options and pay for everything, the rest was up to the woman she'd trusted with making her house feel more like a home. "I have obligations here. I'm not leaving them behind again." It made her stomach twist into knots to consider Mattie an obligation, but confessing such a deep seeded truth to someone she didn't trust even a little? She'd take that guilt any day.

Now that her daughter had fully unlocked her potential to walk, she decided to kick it up a notch in very typical Hazel dramatic flare. So there she was, escaping her mother’s grasp until Alicia tried to put on her baby harness. “Hazel. Come here,” she shouted as the toddler gave her mother a toothy grin and started to run around, chasing some poor bird that had settled down to rest on the ground. She hadn’t run much further when she bumped into a woman, falling down to the ground on her bottom. “Hazel,” Alicia said as she picked her daughter up, giving her a stern look before turning her attention to the woman. “I’m so sorry about that. I swear she just skipped the walking stage and went straight to running.”

Wesley listened and nodded his head. "At this point I am happy with anything and how about this. Why don't you have first pick and grab what you and I will take what's left?" he asked with a warm smile on his face as he moved out of the way for the other to grab what she wanted. Wesley did not mind nor care honestly and he could tell she really wanted that.

"Well, I believe your luck and your waiting will be worth it," he added with a chuckle.

closed starter for @amaraobi at the benny and duke's mini golf

There were a lot of things that Tyler excelled at physically, but golf was not one of them. Something about having to reign in her strength and focus on the little ball and exactly what angle she was hitting in just didn't work for her. She could do it in an MMA ring, but not even remotely on a golf course. Ty was just getting started on the mini-golf course that was set up, making her way to the first hole when she spotted another person moving towards the same exact spot. Ty knew she'd met the woman before, maybe at an event similar to this, but she couldn't recall much else. "Are you good at this?" she asked, nodding towards all of the holes that were spread out in the area.
