rohoeman​:

“–you know the other day, i was considering moving away from the states. i love this place, but i seriously think that i should get out. so i was looking at the australian citizenship application.” roman grabbed a hold of the small glass of fireball and tilted his head back. “one of the questions asked if i had a criminal record. i didn’t know that was still a requirement. but i figured if it came down to it, i’d try my hardest.” 

her tongue darted out to wet her supple lips as she saw the very attractive man approach her. it wasn’t often that laurel’s young heart leapt from such a daring presence from a stranger, but she was only human. as he continued to speak, she couldn’t stop the instinctive eyeroll. she quickly cleared her throat and took a sip from her tequila sunrise. “why does it sound like you’re telling me this to impress me?” she smirked, “because i hate to tell ya, mister; it’s not.”

“ Full disclosure, I did unintentionally make someone…” she trailed off for just a moment trying to find the right word. “Let’s just go with… a little upset… because they tripped and I took advantage of them being vulnerable and eliminated them from laser tag. ” She explained knowing there was a chance someone could misconstrue that as she had tripped that person, but they didn’t have proof that that is what had happened. It was a dark room, anyone can trip in any way, didn’t make it her fault.  “ In my defense though, if you can’t handle a competition or… ya know… a winner… friendship or dating wise we would have problems in the future so at least ya know upfront, am I right? ”

Laurel wiped the beads of sweat dripping down her forehead before re-tightening her ponytail. She chugged whatever was left in her refillable water bottle before dropping down beside Eevee. Laurel had always been competitive. Perhaps it was due to always needing to catch up with her older sister, but she also enjoyed the thrill of winning or losing. “You’re speaking my language, hot stuff,” Laurel said, nodding in agreement. “I actually saw you trip that person--needless to say they looked like they were gonna cry home to their parents. I knew I made the right decision in choosing you as my celebrity crush.” She toggled with the green button she had pinned to her t-shirt. \

do you shave? wax? or nair? or none of the above?

“Sugaring is my personal favorite method to go--it hurts a lot less which is preferable if I’m doing it to myself.”

kirby-powell​:

“are you saying it’s scary cause the titanic because it’s true and can happen now?” maybe not so much the sinking, but what did kirby know. cruise ships were not something they’d go on. “i guess it’s scary. i wouldn’t dare go on a cruise. so sure. i stand by that decision too.” they said with a nod. “what other movies did you watch with your family?”

“there are just some scenes in that movie that are so gruesome and there are scenes that you had to just fill in the blanks. sometimes... it’s about what you don’t show.” laurel nodded in agreement with kirby. “cruises are vastly overrated. i’ve been on a couple--my time could have been better delegated.” she picked up the bong off her coffee table before leaning back into her apartment loveseat. “we watched coming to america a lot. at some point we watched the first four harry potter movies. nothing too... memorable.” she sighed then lit the bowl. “what movies did you watch as a kid?”

liv-rivera​:

“I don’t even know how you managed to mutter out that statement without doing a ghostface impression,” Liv chuckled. LJ and Liv had become fast friends with her several trips to the record store, they were learning about music together. Liv was always welcome to a new tune, as long as it didn’t involve heavy metal and some dude screaming. If she wanted to hear screaming, it was going to be on a tv or movie screen because someone got stabbed. “Don’t ask? Hmp- something tells me your trying to locate people’s fears and what they are resilient to,” she smirked. “But like you don’t already know- I’m a Halloween a girl, Michael Myers roaming around wanting to gut people just because- but I’m also a Scream girl. Including the fourth one that people seem to hate for some reason, the third one can die though.”

Liv and Laurel bonded through their developing love of music and movies--but she would love to delve deeper into that friendship as those she thought she had connected with from her young adult age weren’t around during the most trying time in her life. She smiled at Liv’s answers--of course, she gave an indepth answer. “Follow-up question: who do you think would win in a boxing match? Michael Myers or Ghost-face: Stu-Macher?”
