Simone Ashley for the Glamour Women of The Year Awards
was the letter from vigilante creepy as hell ? yes . but nalini will be damned if they let some masked killer stop them from living their life . besides , they’ve listened to enough true crime podcasts to know to never let their guard down . and for now , there’s a halloween party in full swing . and if they can’t fully enjoy their time , what was the point of attending in the first place ?
nimble fingers grasp the stem of the cocktail glass as hips sway to the beat of the music . “ aww thank you ! ” free hand reaches out to grab sapphire’s as a friendly gesture . “ i was a little worried that i wouldn’t get it done in time but i think i did a decent job , ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips as they display their elaborate poison ivy costume . complete with the perfect ruby red wig . “ but enough about me ! ” lets go to wave their hand dismissively . “ you look FABULOUS . and i think you’ve captured the essence of diana ross . if someone thinks that the totally spies jumpsuit is sparkly and sequined … i’ll have to question if they’ve even watched the show . ”
who: open!
where: halloween party @ bootsy bellows
the letter had put sapphire on edge but she wasn't going to let some anonymous weirdo stop her from having a good time. partying was one of sapphire's favourite things in the whole world. she loved to dance, she loved the light airy feeling of being tipsy and she loved that it was socially acceptable to talk to everyone like she was their best friend. halloween parties also came with the added excitement of costumes. sapphire's costume was a recreation of a purple sparkly jumpsuit worn by diana ross. she was eager to show it off while having the best night of her life.
"you look amazing!",she greeted the other person. the cocktail she was holding matched her outfit. "i love costume parties but i'm always nervous nobody is going to get my reference. it's like what if somebody thinks i'm wearing a totally spies jumpsuit that's the wrong colour? do you get what i mean?" sapphire asked, gesturing for emphasis.
nalini lets out a small sigh and blows away at the strand of hair that fell in front of her . listen , she understands that these curfews are in everyone’s best interests but it’s pointless . they’re all sitting ducks waiting for vigilante to strike . even more so now that everyone in beverly park is restrained to the confines of their own home after 9pm . “ god , i hate being that person but i don’t even know what i’m in the mood for . this has just been all so much . and for what ? this person has made it very clear that they’re not stopping . and there’s strength in numbers , right ? what good is it if most of us are home alone , anyway ? ” she’ll muse before looking over apologetically at regina . “ sorry , i was thinking out loud . but a drink or two sounds good . what’ve you got ? should we do a little cocktail night ? ”
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ she thought the days of curfews ended when she became an adult , but , evidently , she was mistaken . now , she had to adhere to an even stricter one than she had in her younger years . what the hell was this ? she felt it was pointless to begin with , but no amount of complaining she did was going to change anyone's minds , anyways . she sighed , sympathizing with where the other was coming from . she knew it wasn't easy to handle everything going on . “ i get it , ” regina said , nodding . “ it's a lot to take in , ” she agreed . “ it's crazy that this person's still out there . ” regina tried not to talk about vigilante too often , didn't want to give the guy any more attention than he was already getting . “ that depends on what you're in the mood for . we have a lot of options here . we can watch a movie , or we can drink . i've got a pretty impressive liquor cabinet . or , i'm open to other suggestions , really . what are you in the mood for ? ”

“ i see the theme you’re going for is irony . ” lips curl up into an amused smile . “ i think fallen angle might suit you better , ” nalini teases . despite the lighthearted nature , mirth doesn’t quite reach her eyes like it used to whenever she jokes with laurie . she’ll warily eye the liquor that spills out of his glass before refocusing her attention on him . “ how much have you had to drink ? i feel like the floor’s had more of that cocktail than you have . ”
with: nalini kumar ( @imb3rs ) where: the edge of the dance floor at bootsy bellows
" angel suits me, doesn't it ? " with a cocktail in hand, laurie did a little spin for the other to show off his outfit, a small splash of liquor falling to the floor. though his brain kept spinning beyond his circular movement, he felt he wasn't nearly as trashed as he could have been — progress, he reckoned ?
nalini presses her lips together in slight apprehension at the sight of the ouija board in charunee’s hands . “ it’s certainly one way of coping , ” she comments with a light chuckle and fondly shakes her head at the other . listen , all things regarding the occult ? she tries to steer clear of them . doesn’t want any of the bad energy that may potentially come with dabbling in such things . “ but what if we’re trying to talk to lucas but instead we’re met with a troublesome spirit that has no intention on helping us solve this case at all ? ” like charunee , she didn’t know lucas all that well . however , it will be hard to brush off his death as a coincidence given … all the other deaths that have already occurred with the masked killer quickly taking credit . “ i don’t like our odds and i do not want that kind of negative energy , y’know ? ”
· open starter , assume connections ! · located in the living room of her home .
“ i haven't played this in ages , ” referencing to the ouija board in her hands , blowing the dust on top of the cover that has been collected for years . it's probably insensitive of her to do this when several are grieving the loss of a prince ; though she didn't know him well , this is her own method of coping as well . “ look , i'm not trying to be funny — but what if we can talk to lucas ? he could tell us if it was really vigilante who killed him , or maybe he just got a little too wasted at bootsy bellows and tried to go out for a swim . . . ? ” again , she didn't know him ! sitting beside the other in a criss - crossed position as she lays out the game between them , taking a brief pause to toss some popcorn into her mouth before proceeding . “ we could solve this case , you know , and this will all be over . ”
