open starter // @nottinghillstarters leaving the grind

after a morning meeting hadn't gone her way , val decided it was very important for her mental health to not work from home today . it was one of those rare times where she considered going back to creating an office , but for now the grind would be a good enough place to grind . after hours there , val finally collected her things to go . she was mumbling dates and fabrics and measurements beneath her breath while packing up and turning on her heel . she finally stops talking to herself long enough to realize someone else was . did she forget something behind ? did they recognize her ? she doubted it due to being dressed down . still , valeria doubles back reluctantly . ' did you say something ? '

“goddamn it.” frankie muttered under his breath, watching as his skittles exploded from the pack, flying everywhere around him, including the face of the person nearest to him. “sorry ‘bout that.” he said, trying to hold back the laughter at his own clumsiness. “they make these packages such a pain to open it’s almost like they don’t want us to eat.”

❛ HOT DARK CHOCOLATE MOCHA ! ❜ echoed against the oak walls of STARLIGHT COFFEE, only a few customers dotting the back of the shop, most of them not bothered by her call. no response. after a second shout, it was clear that either the person had left, or perhaps she’d made the wrong drink ? that was unlikely, seeing as anyone knew esme was quite skilled at her job. looking over the counter, she caught the eye of the individual scrolling on their phone. ❛ did... did you not have the dark chocolate mocha ? if not, feel free to take it !  free. what can i get you, actually, though ? ❜

getting off of ‘work’ and leaving through the back helena’s overly thin body was covered barely by a see through cover-up and a coat. the only light in the alleyway was from the lighter as she lit her cigarette, slowly making her way into the street where the streetlights illuminated the pavement. helena found it easy to integrate into delilah’s life, a life of stripping and snorting cocaine in the back room was one she had no complaints for in this quaint town. hearing anothers footsteps with hers at the late night she turned to the stranger, speaking before seeing who it was. “you know it’s dangerous to walk these streets alone at night, better get home before the witching hour.” she joked, cigarette moving back towards her mouth and leaving once more with a puff of smoke to follow it.

      apollo had been sitting at the local cafe, their fifth chai latte steaming next to them with crumpled papers framing the cup. hands ruffled through messed hair, as the pen glided across bleached papers in a rush. “ i’m just SO stuck,” the brunette began, not directing the words at someone in particular. “ you see, i got fired from my job last week. it’s like, they told me that i kept breaking too many plates. but maybe GRAVITY shouldn’t try to steal the plates from my hands, HUH? like c’mon, i was a great waiter. i have this KILLER smile. it’s glistening. i didn’t spend $20 on whitening strips for nothing!!  ANYWAY, i’m reworking on my resume right now because people kept rejecting me. BUT listen, this resume is GOLD. like in the summary statement, i said that i’m a sagittarius looking for someone to play some dungeons&dragons campaigns with me or binge watch lord of the rings. people with onesies get extra brownie points with me. and then in special talents, i put sleeping for 22 hours, reciting star wars monologues, using chopsticks, and giving great conspiracy theories. i just don’t know where it went wrong. ”

On her way down the town’s central street to pick up a coffee, Aurora happened past an elegant clothing store. Its windows, were boastfully stocked of only the most fanciful attire. Attractive dresses and golden clasped handbags that surely, she would look respectable in, called to her teasingly from behind glass walls. After passing the boutique for a moment, the blonde soon turned around to reconsider purchasing some of the lavish apparel within. After all, one simply could not have enough summer clothing.

“Do you think you might have this in a smaller size?” she questioned thoughtfully to a person standing nearby, her eyes trained upon a white bikini that she’d chosen from the rack. Expecting the stranger beside her to be an employee of the quaint store, Aurora waved flippantly and pursed her lips, ignoring the presence of the one she’d addressed. “Well?” Running the tip of her tongue across her lower tier, the girl then looked up, flabbergasted that it had taken so long for the other to respond to her pressing inquiry.

Malphas was enjoying earth. At first, she’d loathed the feeble body she’d been bound too ( and she still despised the notion that she couldn’t escape it ) but this little human’s body had so much to offer; the girl had no use for it anymore and Malphas wanted to see everything. She’d spent enough time in Hell and watched history happen, it was time to experience it.

A freshly bought coffee in hand ( a large cup with two shots of espresso ), Malphas marched down Starlight Valley’s main road, headed to the Museum of Art, when suddenly, someone’s shoulder slammed into hers, causing some of the coffee in the cup to spill onto her hand. She growled quietly and turned to face whoever had run into her. ❝ You fucking idiot. ❞

“Well,” Eleanor began slowly, wiping sugar coated palms against the front of her apron; a futile attempt at warding away the stickiness. “You could always choose to get a slice of cherry pie, which comes highly recommended by yours truly,” the brunette giggled lightly, feeling bashful in her euphoric stupor. Truly, she shouldn’t have taken that smoke break. It only worsened her well-known habit of conversing with customers. “Or have you only stopped by to flirt without intent to buy?” she teased, smiling fluidly at the other.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ❝ Come on, please! ❞ Maricruz pleaded the other standing up in protest as they stared down at her in the beauty chair, her MAC covered lips going into a pout. ❝ I think you'll look great with a beat face. Some foundation, a little eye shadow, some eyelashes — please! I beg of the, ❞ she dragged out the 'e' in the final word, her head throwing her head back over the top of the chair.

“You say you want to join my organization but I remain completely and utterly under-fucking-whelmed. I’ve yet to hear a single reason that ensures you keep breathing.”

[babvdolls-blog]

frankie was shell-shocked. he was sitting at the small cafe, wide mismatched eyes staring at the television as the local reporter gave out the details about the death of his friend. one of his best friends, in fact. “jesus christ. did you see that?” the blond muttered, pale as a sheet of paper as he turned to the person near him. “do you--- do you think he’ll come back? y’know, like the others did?”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Ayasha faked laugh at the person that was chatting to her and her "partner," waving goodbye to them while slowly turning on her heel to face the other. ❝ Alright, how much do I owe you? ❞ Her facade switched up quickly, her hand digging into her back pocket to receive the wad of cash that she was too lazy to put into her wallet.
