KAYA SCODELARIO as SUSIE GLASS THE GENTLEMEN (2024) 1.06 All Eventualities
despite what the media has dubbed their ‘ resting bitch face ’ , lips can’t help but quirk up into an amused grin when they spot bash’s costume for the night . harlowe casually strolls over , drink in hand before stopping in front of the other . “ it’s a little pretentious but it’s an old fashioned , ” answers with a small shrug of their shoulders . “ but i guess it’s less pretentious than being that person who just orders whiskey on the rocks , ” they jest . nods towards him . “ what are you having ? something worthy of mr. flavortown himself ? ”
availability : open location : halloween party @ bootsy bellows
bash was glad to have some sort of distraction from the menacing letter that they had all recently got. a halloween party was the perfect thing to get it off everyone's mind. he was also hoping that people would understand his costume. it was a little on the goofier side of things but that's just who bash was. he loved a little goofy costume and a bad dad joke as much as anyone. so it made sense that he was dressed as mr. flavortown himself, guy fieri. when he saw a familiar face at the bar, he waved them over. "what are you drinking tonight?" he asked, over the loud music.
“ that is honestly the sweetest thing i have ever heard ! ” lips turn up into a small smile at the compliment . a genuine smile at that . for nalini is a girl’s girl and there’s always something about women ( and non-men ) complimenting each other that always gets her feeling some type of way . “ has anyone told you that you’re absolutely breathtaking ? like just show stopping ? ”
* closed , @imb3rs .
' i'm just wondering if anybody's ever told you that you're ethereal . ' says it so nonchalant , one might mistake niceties as a common occurrence ! ' because if not , well ... you are . '
harlowe glances over at xavier as soon as he plops down on the vacant seat next to them . their cool gaze sweeps over the other musician continues to talk . try as they might , lucas’ death took a toll on harlowe . while their friendship with the prince was an unlikely one , they were still close . and they could’ve gone without vigilante’s chilling birthday message . “ i mean hey , at least you’re giving the man ideas . makes you wonder just how extensive his google searches are , ” they comment before shrugging at his question . “ i’m not giving him any creative ideas but honestly , he’d probably strangle me with a microphone cord or something . lay my dead body against my drum set . but just know that if he kills me , i won’t go down without a fight . i could probably get a couple hits in . call it a thank you gift for the birthday gift he gave me , ” they comment facetiously . “ but i think we’d be giving him a little too much credit that he’d take our preferred ways to go . ”
who: xavier & your muse
where: idfk ??
xavier plops down on the couch with a dramatic sigh . " you know , at this point , i'm starting to think the killer's right . we are kinda terrible . i mean , look at us , " they wave a hand at the scene—vodka bottles tilted sideways , joints half-buried in ashtrays , and scattered lines of cocaine across the glass table . " if i weren't me , i'd hate me . " leaning back , they tap their chin thoughtfully . " and you gotta give it to this guy—he’s creative . when it's my turn , i want him to go all out , like , maybe sharpen my old cds and launch them at me like ninja stars until , bam , poetic justice . and yeah , i said when , because let's be real : statistically , i've made enough poor life choices to qualify . " then he glances over , eyebrows raising . " anyway , that's my preferred way out . what about you ? "
harlowe’s glad to see some lightheartedness at this party . from the moment they stepped in , it seemed like everyone was walking on eggshells and using this party as a distraction from the latest vigilante news . just like how the masked killer called out the group’s mannerisms . “ glad to know that you’re one of the few i can count on to agree that an old fashioned isn’t pretentious , ” laughter expels past the musician’s lips . “ a spicy margarita , i hope ? that would DEFINITELY get mr. flavortown’s approval . ”
when bash sees harlowe smile, he's pleased with himself. if he even made one person smile with his silly goofy costume, mission accomplished. that was his entire thought process when picking out a costume. not if he'd look hot but if he'd make people smile. he smiles back at them and replies, "it doesn't sound pretentious to me at all." he picks up his drink and adds, "i'm having a margarita. i think mr. flavortown would approve."
freya’s head turns , her cool gaze meeting gwen’s . “ reckless ? or something more out of your comfort zone ? ” she quirks a brow at the younger woman . “ you know as well as i they’re always sniffing out the next best salacious thing to report on , ” she’ll shrug , casually bringing her cup of tea to her lips to take a small sip . “ the more important questions is : do you think doing something reckless will get them off your back ? ” she already knows the answer . it’ll only bring more attention to gwen and further drive the ‘ golden girl corrupted ’ narrative the tabloids have gone with . “ don’t get me wrong , it’s certainly one way to pivot from your old image but i don’t think it’s the most effective way to cement your image . people will say what they want no matter what you do , but you have to ask yourself what is impulsively doing something reckless going to prove ? ”
open starter ; for all . location ; gwen's place . connections can be assumed .
ꨄ 𝅄 ❛ “ you know , i've been thinkin' i should do something a little more reckless, ” she said , turning to look at the other . “ i'm getting real sick of seeing all those gossip articles still talking about those pictures and how hollywood's golden girl has been corrupted . i mean , its been like . . . weeks , ” gwen stated , shaking her head . didn't they have anything better to do with their time ? why were people so hung up on her image still ? gwen wondered if she'd ever fully shed the image she'd held for years . “ what do you think i should do ? ”
