I Simply Do Not Vibe With My Father

           despite  now  running  in  the  same  circles  ,  it  never  ceases  to  amuse  harlowe  just  how  much  of  a  fan  ace  is  of  their  music  .  don’t  get  them  wrong  !  it’s  nice  and  they’re  grateful  .  but  they’re  going  with  the  assumption  that  it’ll  take  a  bit  more  time  for  him  to  adjust  so  they’re  sure  the  giddiness  will  pass  eventually  .  “  it’s  like  the  cinderella  effect  or  something  .  but  i  gotta  say  ,  i’m  a  little  disappointed  .  thought  they’d  hold  out  for  another  hour  ,  y’know  ?  feels  like  1AM  kinda  behavior  .  ”  eyes  will  playfully  roll  at  his  comment  .  “  who  me  ?  and  take  that  honor  away  from  you  ?  ”  they’ll  jest  .  “  i’m  just  saying  that  the  rando  probably  will  have  done  something  to  deserve  it  .  what  do  you  take  me  for  ?  just  because  i’m  a  rockstar  doesn’t  mean  i’m  completely  uncivilized  .  ”  and  perhaps  that’s  why  they  took  to  him  so  quickly  .  nothing  forms  a  bond  quicker  than  knocking  a  jerk  flat  out  .  “  but  i  am  thinking  of  getting  outta  here  soon  .  maybe  grab  a  bite  at  in-n-out  or  something  .  could  go  for  a  burger  honestly  .  you  in  ?  ”

               shifts   his   weight   ,     hand   shooting   out   instinctively   to   land   firm   but   gentle   on   harlowe’s   shoulder   ,     steadying   them   before   they   get   shoved   deeper   into   the   crowd   .          “       nah   ,     i’m   good   .     drink’s   safe   .       ”          and   shakes   his   head   with   a   slight   grin   ,     playing   it   cool   —   even   if   inside   ,     he’s   a   little   giddy   .     (   i   mean   ,     it’s   not   every   day   your   favorite   musician   turns   around   and   checks   on   you   ,     you   know   ?   )   .          “       but   you   might   be   right   about   leaving   early   .     midnight   hit   ,     and   they   all   turned   into   animals   ,     swear   to   god   .     i   mean   ,     could   stick   around   ,     but   i   dunno   …     wouldn’t   wanna   risk   you   takin’   someone   down   tonight   .     can’t   have   you   going   viral   twice   for   knockin’    out   some   rando   ,     can   we   ?          ”          lips   pull   into   a   teasing   grin   .     (   they’re   kind   of   alike   in   that   way   —   both   the   type   to   throw   fists   at   the   right   kind   of   jerk   who   deserves   it   .     and   by   the   looks   of   tonight’s   crowd   ,     it   might   just   come   to   that   if   they   hang   around   any   longer   )   .

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  .  ”

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.

           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  ?  ”

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.

i hope everything reminds you of me. not as a blessing, as a curse.

           “  well  i  guess  you  can’t  say  that  there  aren’t  people  who  don’t  care  about  you  if  they’re  texting  you  ‘  stay  safe  ’  .  no  matter  how  fake  it  sounds  ,  ”  nalini  lightly  jests  ,  in  an  attempt  to  at  least  lighten  the  mood  .  is  she  scared  about  vigilante  striking  again  ?  yes  .  but  what  are  the  chances  that  she’s  high  up  on  the  killer’s  list  ?  that’s  something  nalini  doesn’t  want  to  take  a  gamble  on  .  but  she  supposes  that  she’s  not  that  high  up  on  his  list  .  call  it  a  coping  mechanism  .  “  i  wouldn’t  put  it  past  vigilante  to  start  bugging  our  homes  .  at  the  very  least  ,  he’s  hiding  in  someone’s  bushes  .  maybe  he  rotates  every  night  .  ”  it  comes  off  as  if  she’s  joking  but  again  …  coping  mechanism  !  “  i  think  i  might  bail  before  midnight  .  haven’t  decided  yet  .  what  about  you  ?  ”

"does this whole event scream potential pr night to you or is it just me?" everett mused to the person closest to him. negative gossip in people magazine frightened him more than potentially getting posioned. "beverly media could easily spin people dressing up as murderous masked maniacs when there's an alleged murderous masked maniac on the loose as trashy and in poor taste." he mused. everett had enough of people who spent too much time on deuxmoi thinking he was a selfish monster. they had a point but it wasn't because he happened to fuck someone who hadn't signed his divorce papers yet.
