He nodded, "I think work is like that for a lot of people, always." He wasn't always crazy; he did a lot of talking and hearing people talk, mostly. So he did need to drink it off on weekends, when sometimes it got a bit heavy. He smirked as he looked at the younger male. "Aw, you're sweet, so I want something sweet," he said, and ordered his drink as he passed his ID to the bartender. "MD?" the bartender mumbled, but Teddy nodded. "Yes, so clearly I can drink," he said, taking the drink from the man behind the bar. "Thank you, but next ones on me," he didn't mind that. @graysonxwright

"it's going well, actually. it's been a crazy week but i'm excited to have the opportunity to cut loose." was grayson going to drink too much? absolutely? was he going to make a fool of himself? yes. was he going to go home with someone random? well that was still up for discussion. he was still waiting for his opportunity to order and when the bartender came over, he spoke up, "vodka soda and whatever this gentleman wants." he said as he loooked over towards the handsome man.

Teddy did love his job, and he worked hard to get where he was today. Years of school and practice had prepared him, but the job wasn't an easy one. So, he liked to go out on weekends to relax and have a good time. He knew it was good for him; he needed to be able to relax and have a good time. He didn't plan on talking to anyone or doing much of anything besides a few drinks and some dancing. He looked over from his drink with a smile at the younger male. "So far, so good," he lifted his drink. "How about you?" he asked with a smile. @graysonxwright.

starter for: @teddyxaetos location: high pulse

grayson needed a night of letting loose. he was always busy and doing whatever school and work called for. even though it was summer and grayson didn't have to worry about school, he was still working a lot so he didn't let himself relax all that much. he was in high pulse and he had a drink in his hand dancing to the music. he took the last sip from it but needed another one. he had come with a friend but she didn't need a refill. he walked back over to the bar and he stood there and waited his turn. as he was waiting, he looked over at the guy standing next to him. "hey, how are you? having a good time?"

[teddyxaetos]

He looked at the other. "Yeah, but it's still surprising," he said, explaining why he reacted to it like he did. "Sorry," he put his hands up to show he didn't mean anything by it. He sighed as he took a step away. "I just wasn't expecting it, sorry, my mind is still on work," he admitted. He knew he wasn't looking where he was going, so it didn't help at all. But his mind was always on work before and after; he just always had something going on in his mind. "Just a long day," he had to explain himself

@sawyervaughn.

"I said I was sorry." She told the man as she finished eating quick and looked at him. "You okay? Or did I bruise your ego a bit?" The worse were full of sass, but she didn't care. The rudeness of him telling her to watch set off the defensive side of her and while she had been mopey lately, she was now ready to argue with this man if she needed to. @teddyxaetos

[teddyxaetos]

It was just part of who he was, who liked to enjoy watching people and thinking of what the other person was doing and who they were. He looked at the woman and the kid sleeping in the stroller and smirked, "Running them around tired is always a good idea." he nodded as he heard from friends and people with kids that it was a good idea.

"But you should give it a try, people watching and acting like you know who they are and what they are doing," he said, looking at the guy who was lying down on the top of the lunch bench. "See like him, what do you think he's doing? Who is he and why?" he smirked. @isabella-castro.

the park was somewhere that isabella enjoyed coming to with manny. he wasn't old enough to be running by himself but she liked to come here, hold his hand and help him move through the area and get comfortable. she knew that he was going to start walking on his own soon and that's something she was going to be proud of.

she had run around for quite some time with emmanuel, but he was exhausted and so she decided to pick him up and put him in the stroller where he instantly fell asleep and she was sitting there and enjoying herself. "not people watching, just enjoying the quiet now that my son is quiet and is sleeping. probably the biggest reason why i come to the park. it's crazy." she laughed a bit.

[teddyxaetos]

He nodded, "It has always been known for it, too." A scent that lasted for ages was a favorite for a reason. That was good in most homes and places, and that made it popular. "I don't think so." he didn't need something else to stand out when people came to see him. He smirked at her reaction. he knew he looked young; people didn't think he looked like a psychiatrist. "So what else says relax, breathe, and let me read your mind," he joked. @enid-marr

"Smells amazing, too." Enid hoped her help was overbearing, but she enjoyed helping out. It was like a side task for her to take her mind away from the funeral home. Though she loved being there, she always needed a refresh when she left. "Definitely. Small, but gets the point across. Doesn't have to be big to make a statement." When he informed her he was a psychiatrist, her brows raised. "Yeah, in that case, something relaxing is needed."

[teddyxaetos]

Teddy knew life was wild, and you had to let your hair down and relax. That you had to have fun and stop doing everyday life sometimes. Why he knew something like this was a good idea, and a good time for all. Did he care that the other was smoking? No, he didn't do it, but he didn't mind that people did. He smiled, "Hey," he said again, looking at the other, almost doing a quick study out of habit with him. "Yes, just inside, I got in a welcome basket, and I don't want it to go to waste," he grinned. Thankfully, his office was nice, but it felt pretty random to him. "I don't know how to skate, but it's just for the hell of it," he laughed. "I don't know the last time I went skating. Maybe with friends or a party, I wasn't even sure. @wrxnxashby.

It had been a rough day for Wren. In an attempt to clear his head, he took to driving aimlessly, not really sure where he was going, as long as it wasn't home. After a couple of hours of driving, he decided to pull into a random parking lot and pulled up beside a car. He sat there for a little while, staring ahead. His jaw was clenched, and if anyone had seen him, they'd probably think he was up to no good. He considered checking out what was going on inside, but every time he almost worked up the courage, his brain screamed 'no way'. One step at a time. Maybe if he made an effort to leave his car, he be able to push himself, so he did just that. Getting out, he slammed the door and leaned against the side of the car. Reaching into his front pocket, he pulled out a little metal cigarette case, popped it open, and removed the lighter and a joint he'd rolled before he came out. Against his better judgement, he sparked the lighter and lit the joint, inhaling a large cloud of smoke. Wren knew he needed to drive again, but he didn't care. He hoped by the time he was ready to leave again, he'd be fine. After about four puffs, he snuffed out the joint and returned it to the case. As he looked around, he noticed another man approaching. Now, with his drug induced confidence, he offered a large, almost exaggerated grin. "Heyyy," he drawled. "Skating?" Oh man. He was high, and didn't even know how to skate to begin with. "I'll take it! I don't know the first thing about skating, but maybe you'll get a laugh out of me on my ass."

Teddy was at the park today. he loved to come here and people watch. It was enjoyable doing that. He loved to think of what each person was thinking, what they were doing. His love of the mind came from the fact that he was sure. That even as a kid, he tended to stare off at strangers and wonder what they were doing. His made-up stories in his mind as a kid were wild, but as he got older, he felt it was more serious.

Today he was there watching a family run around the park, the two younger kids running after another slightly older, watching nearby, the mother, who he guessed was on a bench nearby, but not fully into anything. He guessed it was just normal life and the stress of being a parent.

He looked up, seeing the sun blocked by a person passing by, and he smirked. "Are you here for people watching too?" he asked. Teddy was pretty new to town, and he was still trying to meet people.

open to any. 0/2

He nodded, "Lavender is a classic, well-known, pretty known for relaxation." he nodded as he looked at the other. "I think small is best, my space isn't that big, and I don't want to overdo it" with a large bunch of flowers in the middle of the room. "I know that just feels... not fitting for what I do," he said, picking up a rose to smell. "I am a psychiatrist... so I don't know if roses are right for me." Maybe he was wrong; he didn't know. @enid-marr

"You're right. I use lavender all the time." Whether in her practices of witchcraft, or occasionally at the funeral home, it was one of Enid's favorite flowers to use. "You could make a small one," she suggested with a shrug. "Yeah." She laughed softly. "Purple is my favorite color, what can I say?" She looked down at the flowers again, considering what else he could do. Usually, she wasn't the one making the decisions about what flowers to use. Typically, the family would say what flowers they wanted, and she'd simply go order them. "And roses come in all sorts of colors. If you don't want red, there's white, or even pink."

Today, had the day off from work and thought it would be fun to try some ice skating, so he was at the ice house. Did he have any real plan, or was he just enjoying the free skate? He had not gone skating in a while, but he got a pass as a gift, so he thought, why not? He looked at the pass when he walked up and chuckled, "Great," it was for two, and he didn't have anyone to go with. So he looked around the parking lot and saw someone by his car. No idea why he was there or what he was doing, but he had taken the chance. "Hey man," he said with a smile as he looked at him. "I got this free skate pass, but it's for two, and I hate for one to go to waste," he nodded. "We don't have to hang out inside if you don't want. I just hate for it to go to waste," he laughed. @wrxnxashby.

[teddyxaetos]

He laughed as he looked at her, "No, I didn't really take anyone down." It was random luck, really. "I came where work called me, I don't know what that means," he admitted. he may work around the mind and brain in his own way, but he didn't understand everything. He nodded, "For sure, it was another world from what he lived in today. "Vegas was fun, but too much for me for work," he sighed. "But something's made it good," he smirked at her. @carmenxfontenelle.

"Wow," her eyes widened and her jaw fell slack with Teddy's words. "Tracked you down in another state?" She shook her head, "And years later? You had to feel really flattered or really terrified." Carmen's laughter was soft, "Probably both, huh?" The brunette joked with him, falling into a familiar comfort with Teddy. Though it had been years since the two of them had last seen each other, there was a reason she had fallen for him in the first place. He had always been easy to talk to, someone she could feel at home with even when she were far away from home. "Vegas has to feel like a whole other life now, doesn't it?" @teddyxaetos

[teddyxaetos]

Teddy nodded, "It is so many people think they can just toss them at it and call it a day," he sighed. They may have a nice pen and cover, but that was it. They didn't do much with it, but let the horse live there and do nothing. "It is a nice place for sure, I'd love to have one again," but he didn't know this place that well yet. "I dont have a kid but my job takes up a lot of time" he cared for the people he helped so he did his best to always be there for them. "but also I know horses are used a lot to help people heal and feel again" so he could use them in his work in someways. "I don't know of Davis farms," he would have to look into it. "But it's a cattle ranch, really massive, we raise cattle for ...eh, food." he knew not everyone liked that. "We did rodeos, shows and stuff too," he smiled at her. @anlidowning

"It really is a lot of responsibility to get a horse." she nodded in agreement. "I miss having a horse and I fully believe that being in Kismet is one of the best places to have a horse." She'd had one; she'd lived in Kismet for all of her life and had owned a horse as a child here. "But it's a lot for someone who's already responsible enough with a kid and a job." she sighed. "Though, all this talk about horses nearly has me ready to get one anyways." she laughed. She paused, looking at the other. "So your family farm in Wyoming." she stated. "Was it a rescue farm like Davis Farms here or was it something different?" @teddyxaetos

[teddyxaetos]

He laughed, "It was a joke, I know you can't keep it in a condo," he joked as he looked at the other. "I mean, maybe you can do mini pony, but that may be a bit much." he shook his head. "If I did comment on a horse again, I'd make sure it was a nice place," he smiled. "But I will have to look into your place, sounds nice," no, not like where he was from, but still nice. He was sure. "I grew up on a big cattle ranch, so I am used to the wide open spaces and riding for hours, that's what he missed the most, really. "But you seem pretty cool too" he smiled at the other. "What is your place called?" he had to wonder. @abrahamxwhitney

"You don't have to keep it at your condo," Abraham stated, a matter of fact tone wrapping around the words though they still wore kindness. "I board horses at my estate as well, they receive only the best care." Abraham wouldn't have it any other way. The horses were often better company than people were. "Obviously no pressure," he shrugged his shoulders, "I don't even know you but if you like horses, you should be an alright person to begin with." @teddyxaetos

Teddy had gotten off work today, and he had spoken to two people today, so he wasn't that busy, thankfully. But his patient list was still a bit small, and he was growing it the longer he was in town. He was on a walk, something he liked to do to relax and wind down from his day. Somedays he even went out on a hike before he headed home, but today he felt like a walk. He looked at his watch for a moment before he looked down at the path, and soon someone walked into him. "Woah, watch it," he said. He didn't mean to be so rude, but he didn't expect it. @sawyervaughn

closed starter for @teddyxaetos location: downtown

Sawyer was eating while she was walking down the street after a meeting she had been in. She was there for a few hours and her blood sugars were dropping so she needed to eat a little something before getting to the restaurant she was gonna have lunch at. It was just a granola bar, but she was so focused on that that she wasn't watching where she was going and ended up walking into someone. "Oh, my god. I'm so sorry."

[teddyxaetos]

He still held his hand out; he didn't mind if she went ahead of him. "Still, I don't mind too," but the line moved again, and he moved once more. "It has been for us all," he looked around, everyone needed to seem a pick-me-up, which is why everyone came here. He looked at her. "I mean, for me, I don't know for others," he said, looking at her. "It's a research paper... " he looked at her. "The study of babies who have been raised on phones and tablets and such from like a year or so hold vs ones that had none till they were 5, then ones who didn't get any 8" he nodded. "I am a psychiatrist, so it just makes me think," he nodded, "How the kids act by how long they have been using screens." It was very wild to him. @natalie-makan.

Waving off the apology and offer, the raven-haired woman gave Teddy a small smile. It was an honest mistake, one she'd certainly made on several different occasions and since he hadn't responded like a jerk it was water under the bridge. "Oh, no, keep your spot. Please. It's completely fine." Natalie insisted gently, a vague familiarity crossing her mind as she looked at him again. She'd definitely seen him around...somewhere. "Sorry if I came off a bit short at all. Long day." The attorney added, not that she thought her tone had been particularly poor. But, it never hurt to hedge one's bets when dealing with a stranger. "Anything interesting in the paper?" She asked curiously. They were going into be stuck in the line for a minute so there was no need to just be bored and silent the whole time.
