"forgive and forget" WRONG! go to hell
they barely get a chance to glance up from their sketchpad before the other is seated across from them . “ that’s the paparazzi for you , ” nalini comments with a light chuckle . “ i’d like to think i’m a little too boring for them but who knows ? ” they’ll admit . but then again , nalini is nothing if not strategic about how they position themselves in the public . “ i heard there’s a trick where if you wear the same clothes everyday –– or at least the same outerwear , they can’t profit off any of the photos they take . ”

“ is anyone else sitting here ? ” doesn't wait for an answer as she extends the chair , adjusting herself comfortably while setting her matcha latte upon the table . “ you're a breath of fresh air — the paparazzi outside were about to drive me nuts . ”

“ woah –– hey ! ” harlowe grumbles as a drunk person barrels past them and nearly sends them stumbling into the other person behind them . fists remain curled up at their side . tonight is not the night to be starting a fight ! “ sorry , dude . you good ? i didn’t spill your drink did i ? ” they ask , turning to face ace . “ i swear , i should’ve left earlier . it only gets worse the later it gets . ”
“ in my defense … ” harlowe starts , holding their hand up . “ i think we suck at deciding . and would you really want me showing you up like that ? picture this –– me as maverick . you as goose . i think you’d make a great goose , ” they’ll jest , fondly rolling their eyes at him . “ but ugh , the satire is so LOST on you . the movie is a feminist masterpiece and a lot of men just miss the point . maybe i’ll reference it in my next music video . it’d be pretty iconic of me . ”
" yeah, harlowe, why didn't you wanna match me ? " matty whined, crossing his arms over his chest dramatically, a phony but patronizing pout on his lips. " i can't believe you chose to be a misogynist, a woman-murderer, a white man . . . over my twin. "

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 ? ”

“ 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 . ”
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."
