you are —-!      i like this couch, man.  [words slurred out, intoxicated.  wary curls spread out over the couch as she looked up at the ceiling. her gaze blurred, head spinning.]   i looove this couch.  (it’s peaceful)     just—- !   let me be one with this couch.    [a beat.]    i’m not using if that’s what you’re worried about.    

@linescocain       i’m not kickin’ ya out,  rue.   just redirectin’ you to a space that isn’t my livin’ room.   i don’t want it smelling loud in here.    

it’s just, a little bit of weed 

/   yes  pls   :) 

/   lateee but :)

/   yayy

she wants love and i want war.    

do you think i’ll ever need your love, more than you’ll need me?     

he's—    he's ?& #in'    /dead/,    mate!    i-i don't—    *    hobie doesn't mean to snap.    it's not aeri's fault,    after all.    still,    that feeling in their chest is crushing    &    it won't go away.   tears prick at the corners of their eyes,    &    they look away,    wiping shaking hands on the towel.    *    ...    he was jus'    a kid.    n'    they—

@websriot        what?       ..    what?       [theres a moment where the bathroom is filled with silence and aeri’s hand has fallen to his side.]    —-what?         how?        today?    

*    the touch shouldn't be a trigger,    but it is,    &    hobie tenses up beneath aeri's hand.    silence.    what is he supposed to say?    that he's quit the society    &    won't be going back,    that the chances of him getting arrested    &    sentenced to death are higher than ever now,    that—    slowly,    hobie swallows,    still scrubbing at his hands despite the water coming to a stop.    *    ...    manny's dead.

@websriot      should i?   you asked me what my stance was and i told you..     i’m not seeing the problem.   

@chronicFEATS         [ tipsy and a tad bit clingy,  isadora plops down onto the couch.   it takes awhile for him to register what peter was saying /or/ doing,    but when he does—-   he nods hi head.      truth be told,    he’s been ready to leave since an hour ago.   yet when he searched for his plus one and found him dancing his heart away with everyone else,  aeri backed off and decided to wait it out. ]    〝   we can go.   〞   [there isn’t any fight, not even when peter slinks into his personal space.  sober aeri would’ve shoved the other man as far away as possible,   but the liquor has fortunately softened him up.  so he sits on the couch staring at his hands,   almost dazed.]    〝 and i wasn’t going to hit you..   you just scared me poppin’ up like that.  〞
