Starter for: Olivia & Vincent @halfwcytohell Location: Frisky Kitty Cafe

Olivia had decided that she was going to go visit the cafe that had cats in it. She was feeling a bit indifferent about it because while it sounded like a lovely idea, she was skeptical because she would be afraid of cat hair getting in the beverages or the snacks, but she was definitely open to trying it out. She walked in and it must be popular because it was pretty packed for the middle of the day. She walked up to the counter to get herself a coffee but then realized she had left her wallet in the car. She turned to the person behind her. "Hey, do you mind saving my spot? I just have to run out and get my wallet and I've been waiting so long already."

"You all remember the buddy system, okay? Joe, we wear the sunscreen, not eat it! Maya, use a tissue and not your clothes for boogers, please!" It was non-stop for the teacher, even as he was getting the kids into smaller groups with some of the adult chaperones for some free time at the farm. Now that everyone had separated, Spencer grabbed a couple of water bottles and handed one to Vincent, one of the parents. "That honestly couldn't have gone any better," he said with a light chuckle. "How're you and Rafael holding up?"

who: romeo @halfwcytohell where: their place

"Want a drink," Lucas called; half of his body was currently positioned inside of the fridge, the choice between orange and grape soda taking longer than anticipated. Grabbing cans of both, Lucas finally closed the refrigerator door and plodded towards the living room. He set the cans down and settled onto the couch. "Couldn't choose" he explained. With one hand he gestured towards the cans, signaling Romeo to choose the one he wanted. Lucas would take whichever was left, which was, in his opinion, the easiest way to make a decision. "Okay," he continued when they were finally settled, "would you rather always be an hour early or an hour late? Discuss."

Location: Outside Glowing Embers, night-time. With: Norah / @halfwcytohell

Despite repeated assurances from Norah that walking her home after she's finished a late shift isn't necessary, the notion of not showing up has never felt like an option to Atty. He'd claim it's exclusively about safety, that having to navigate the way back to their house alone at the often ungodly hours she works could pose a number of risks, but that's only a piece of the story. The truth is that it's also become a cherished part of his routine -- getting to hear how her day has gone, sharing details about his own, ambling home together beneath muted streetlights and star-scattered skies while the rest of the town sleeps. He lives for it, the comfort of repetition and the company of someone who knows him better than he knows himself.

There's a chill in the air as he waits outside Glowing Embers tonight, accompanied by a gentle pattering of rain. Instinctively shrugging off his jacket when he sees Norah approaching, he offers it to her as a balm against the weather with a tired smile. "Norah! Hi! How's your night been?"

He sat down in the chair and smiled across at Genevieve. "That's fair. I know that I can use a good pick me up in the middle of the day sometimes too so I know the need for coffee can come at any time of the day." He laughed softly. "I think I'm lucky that I have an espresso machine at my business so that I can just get some there and don't have to worry about traveling out to the coffee shops." @halfwcytohell

"Okay, great." Gen replies, waiting for the other to sit down. It honestly didn't matter whether he sat or not, but at least a decision had been made. "Honestly, I feel like coffeeshops will be busy no matter the time of day. People always need coffee."

Starter For: @halfwcytohell (Indy) Location: Local Park

The Cherry Blossom festival was in full swing. Corey's idea of a romantic picnic was a cooler full of beers and sandwiches, but they had grabbed some stuff from the local delis and bakeries to round it out. They puffed on their cigarette, long legs stretched out under the trees. Couples and families spread throughout the park too, each on their own little patch of grass or blanket. A dog chased a frisbee the owner was throwing for him, jumping into the air to catch it. Kids laughed and played, tossing baseballs or playing a game of tag through the shrubs, and in the distance, the unmistakable sound of fibreglass wheels on concrete came from the skate park.

Corey was in the middle of catching Indy up on their latest disastrous dating app experiences. "So she wanted to go to this vegan place, and I'm like 'whatever, whatever the lady wants, right?' Because I'm a gentleman." Corey looked over at Indy with a laugh. "Don't say shit. Anyway, turns out this other girl I fuckin' dated years ago works there, and is our server. How would I know? I don't go to vegan places. My date figures this out, gets all pissed, and ditches me before we even order." They rolled their eyes with a chuckle. "So, clearly, I'm batting a hundred."

Who: @halfwcytohell (Vince)

Where: The Third Eye - afternoon

Some might say Ash was incredulous for his believe in things like Psychics and the supernatural. But he' d worked on enough full moons to know that it was possible for planets and stars to have an effect on how human's behaved. On a more personal level no one could convince him that his Aunt wasn't somewhere watching over him and still guiding him along. Ash had a strong belief in the unseen around him, that there was no such thing as coincidence. Stumbling across The Third Eye on one of his first forays around Clearwater had been one of those not so random random things. Ash had liked the energy that Vince gave off from the jump and what had been just a random walk in had turned into a regular part of his routine for the last six months. He was dressed to head to work after, clean and professional, different than his non-work wear of baggy sweaters and ripped jeans, "Hiya Vince. How's the day going?"

[ofwishfulthinking]

From anyone else, the words would have sounded like empty compliments -- someone saying kind things because they felt like they needed to -- but Julien knew that Javier meant them. "Thanks," he replied, expelling a long stream of breath. He'd probably been holding that breath for the last six months. "Party planning was always Claudia's thing. So, naturally, I went from never doing it to throwing a party for the entire town."

Sakura mochi in hand, Javier turns to offer Julien a smile, nodding after he's swallowed the bite he's just taken. "It's great. You've outdone yourself, my friend."

for: angelo ( @halfwcytohell ) location: meteor shower viewing

Akiak couldn't remember the last time he stopped and looked at the stars. Life had gotten so hazy one day and never really stopped after that. It wasn't until he moved to Hemlock recently that he was learned how to slow down a bit in life and pick up hobbies he used to enjoy doing before. When he saw that there was going to be a meteor shower viewing at the park Aki told himself that he would not miss it, and he kept that promise. What he failed to think of was to invite someone, but it was too late now. He had found a spot to sit down and wait for the shower to begin. His attention would go from the screen of his phone to sky just to make sure he didn't get too caught up in his (stupidly) addicting YouTube reels.

It's only when his phone alerts him that it's on 20% did he decide to put it away for a moment. He casually looks around the different groups of people who had gathered to watch the meteor shower, letting out a small sigh. Then, in the distance, Aki spots someone that he never thought he'd see again, Angelo. He doesn't even think twice before he gets up and makes his way over in the direction of the other. It had been years since the two had last seen each other, Aki was much younger back in those days, and he didn't even know if Angelo was going to recognize him. "Angelo?" He asks, slowly approaching him. "It's okay if you don't remember me. It's...definitely been a while."

Location: Bluebird café, early morning Who: closed (Javier @halfwcytohell)

The line wasn't long since the café had opened its doors a few minutes ago, it was quite early and it had become their habit to take a post-run coffees there since there weren't many places opened at the crack of dawn. Yarrow looked at Javi and jabbed him in the elbow to get his attention, "Do you want me to go slower next time, looks like you had a hard time keeping up with me on the last stretch grandpa." She spoke the last word with the biggest grin possible and took a step forward as the line shortened. "Or we can stick to some stretches and sun salutations." She loved taking the piss with Javi.

Starter for: Zahra & Geneveive @halfwcytohell Location: Joey's Pizza

Zahra was inside Joey's Pizza and she was sitting at the table, enjoying her gooey cheese slice. Zahra looked around as she set down the pizza and then saw another individual who looked like they were looking for somewhere to sit. It was a small pizza joint but it was exceptionally busy today so she decided to be kind and she spoke up, "I don't know if you're looking for somewhere to sit, but if you are then the other side of the booth is open, I came here by myself." She motioned to the other side of the table.

[naomi-ellis]

"I promise you I'm trying my best to get there." She was talking a little louder than necessary, but something about talking over her car play never seemed to be loud enough. Her eyes averted to her niece in the backseat who'd been screaming two seconds ago, and she exhaled as she realized that Ava was sound asleep. She was on her way to meet her sister Genevieve for dinner, but what she hadn't expected while on her way to meet @halfwcytohell, was for her to get stuck in what appeared to accident traffic. The anxiety she felt every time she came across it. "Are we still meeting at Main Squeeze or did you prefer to go somewhere else?" With the weather warming up outside, Naomi was always a sucker for a good smoothie, but she also respected that wasn't everyone's cup of tea.

Aria had only been half joking but at his agreement she couldn’t help but squeal. “You’re quite possibly the best person I’ve ever bet,” she exclaimed. “I’m Aria, by the way.” She offered a smile as she introduced herself, and turned her cart towards the snack aisle. “I was going to leave without grabbing a few snacks, but since you’re here and willing to help, I might as well take advantage.”

Chuckling quietly, Alvaro drop his gaze back to his shopping list, making sure that he had grabbed everything that he needed. Luckily he didn't have anything frozen in his cart that would melt, so he could spare some time for the other if needed. "I don't have to rush out if there's anything you want to grab for you." He offers, shrugging. "Lead the way."

"-wait, hold that thought. our order is ready. i'll go get it." once their number was called, she wasted no time getting up and heading toward the counter to grab the sandwiches the two of them had ordered. she came back and place the other's in front of him before sitting back down, "now what were you saying? you have to catch me up. it's been a while since we've been able to do this." she added before popping one of her fries into her mouth.

Starter For: @halfwcytohell (Genevieve) Location: Farmer's Market

You couldn't beat fresh produce. Carson might have been raised in privilege, but his mother had always instilled in him the importance of home-cooked meals. She hadn't needed to work, but rather than being the type of woman who buried her boredom with life under prescription medications and red wine, she had dedicated herself to raising her kids to be the best human beings possible. Carson had helped with the cooking since he was tall enough to reach the kitchen counter with a tiny stool. Now, he liked to use it as a way to show his affection for people, a way to connect with them.

"So what're you feeling for tonight?" he asked, eyes perusing the local stalls. "I could do some jerk chicken, some pulled pork, world's your oyster."
