Who has two thumbs and is way too deliriously happy to be surrounded by all her new school supplies? This girl. The break was longer than I expected but I am so ready to be back.

This girl would officially like to ask this hot-as-sin girl if she'd do her the pleasure of being her date to the Sadie Hawkins dance on Founders Day.

My boss informed me that I have worked after hours way too many times this past month, and that my assignment this weekend was to do "something fun." I'm not sure sobbing through The Hate U Give and developing an addiction to duolingo was what he had in mind, though. Seeking help finding some acceptable fun that I can report back on Monday.

LANES & STEELES

So I had this idea and it's obviously a good one for that reason alone. And since it's an excellent idea, that means no one can fight me on it or make any feeble attempts to protest out of a need to make sure no one's imposing on anyone else. So, disclaimer: a) there is no imposition because there's an invitation involved and b) even though it was my idea, I already know every Lane will be in agreement with it.

What is this grand idea that requires such a preface, you ask? I am so glad you did. (Though, lbr, everyone knows I would have told it regardless of interest because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.)

I think all Steeles of the young and beautiful (and smart, and kind, and compassionate, and amazing, etc etc) variety should join all Lanes of the 1074 Hobb Ct variety for today's celebrations. Dad's grilling chicken and ribs and hot dogs and hamburgers and Mom and I are making potato salad and baked beans and pasta salad and deviled eggs. Malachi's making something, but I can't tell what it is yet (love you 😏) though I am confident that it will be edible. Needless to say, it is WAY too much food for the Lanes of the 1074 Hobb Ct variety to eat all by themselves, so we need your help.

Besides, I'm pretty sure Dad has now claimed you both at this point, for better or worse, so it would make him very happy to have his extended family of the young and beautiful (and smart, and kind, and compassionate, and amazing, etc etc) variety of Steeles at the house today.

Also, can you really say no to this face?

Hello, Dunhaven!

I'm pretty sure everyone knows me because I am legitimately the loudest resident in this town but, for the sake of modesty, allow me to introduce myself to anyone who doesn't. I am Charlie Parker, a senior at Athena Academy. For one of my capstone projects, I am hosting a social experiment that requires your help. It's kind of like Post-Secret which, if you're unfamiliar with it, is a project that collects anonymous secrets on postcards. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I would like to conduct something similar here, though it would be isolated to the network versus mailing me your secrets. It's really easy to participate. All you have to do is leave me an anonymous secret here. All comments are anonymous in that even I won't be able to tell who posted them. Though anonymous, they will be public. Comments can be anything, even something as simple as song lyrics that speak to you but that you wouldn't share with other people normally.

Please help me, Dunhaven! You're my only hope of getting a passing grade on this capstone!

[OOC: Comment with your character journals as normal, not as anon. For IC purposes, we will still assume it's all anonymous to the characters. Thought this would be a good opportunity for people to find out that others are having weird dreams, too, among other things!!]

So I've been working on the summer menu and I got bored and found something that I think we'll all enjoy.

Enter your name here and comment below with the answer. Then stop in and see me, and you'll get a drink on the house. It might even be inspired by your hero scent. We all win, right?

I'll go first. Latex and justice.

REMI

Just checking in, babe.

ELLE

Heyyyyyy, Elle Camino. This is probably totally unprofessional because you're my boss, but I'm super in need of tacos and margaritas as big as my head and I figured it was better to ask someone along who's not even remotely related to the reasons why a massive margarita sounds awesome right now. Besides, you're kind of like my dream sister, so I think that kind of obligates you to overlook the unprofessionalism of it and say, "Yes, of course I will have tacos with you, Waverly." ...Okay, I just made up that rule, but it's a good rule.

MAL

What are you up to?

REMI

I've betrayed you. I bought a pastry at the gas station. Karma already paid me back, though, because it was so gross. I'll never eat anyone else's pastries again, babe.

MAL

Are you 100% sure that you told Zora everything? Because I've gotten zero indication from Remington that anything's up and I thought for sure she'd know by now? I don't want to accidentally say something if she doesn't know yet.

ELLE

Two things: 1) Could I possibly come in an hour later tomorrow? Dad's PT got pushed back. And 2) I might be spending too much time at the Pourhouse because I had the weirdest dream last night and you were in it.

Someone tell me that I don't need Spanish, Russian, and Japanese versions of Harry Potter in my Amazon wish list.

MALACHI

Hey there, baby brother. Got a second?

Excuse you, meme. When did Remington become a men’s name? I’m pretty sure I wear it better.

[WAVERLY]

Though, honestly, I am fine with owing you a back rub.

And I’m getting ready to do something probably stupid and brave.

[LYRA, JAHAN, CALLA]

Firstly, I love you all, and I don’t think I’ve told you that as much as I should have recently.

There’s something I need to tell you, and it’s honestly been kind of terrifying for me to admit it. I have…a lot of things that I keep pretty close to the chest, and this is one of the biggest ones. It’s one that I’m ready to talk about, though. It’s something that I can finally accept, where I never could before.

I’ve been kind of seeing someone, in unofficial terms, since New Years. That person is a girl, and I am…unequivocally gay. It’s not something I’m ready to be public about yet, but it is something I don’t want to continue hiding from you three. Please still love me

[WAVERLY]

Please, for the love of God, tell me what you possibly could have told Zora that might make her think that I don't want her safe.

Also, in the interest of being honest instead of earning my degree in Professional Lying, I took whiskey out of mom and dad's alcohol stash. It tastes like shit.

You know you're getting older when, as much fun as you had at the Masquerade, you're more excited about kicking off the high heels, slipping into sweatpants, and watching Netflix for a few hours until you pass out wrapped in blankets. I'm such a party animal.

Also, if you thought the drinks were good tonight, you should try the drinks at the Pourhouse. ;)

REMINGTON

It was good seeing you tonight. I know I'm supposed to pretend like the masks keep us all mysterious and anonymous, but I knew it was you the moment you walked in.

Hello, Dunhaven. What's shaking, other than the sudden burst of technological prowess?

In case y'all were wondering, your favorite bartender got a new job! Swapping my shirts out for a Pourhouse apron and, not to toot my own horn but, it's lookin' pretty cute.

REMI
Just wondering if you were aware that it's National Kiss a Ginger day?

Happy 2k18, y'all!! What are your New Year Resolutions?

MALACHI

I'm very happy to inform you that Remington Steele is quite well.

REMINGTON

Good morning. I'll have you know that it's entirely your fault that I had dreams about strawberry rhubarb meringue tarts.

So, does anyone know of anyone who's hiring and looking for a gal who's adorable with limited work experience, a penchant for random history trivia, and an expansive collection of aprons and shirts that advertise Joe's? Asking for a friend.

For everyone who's been asking, Dad's home now. Still not out of the woods but we're super glad to have him here instead of in the hospital. Thanks for all for the thoughts and prayers over the past week! And, please, as much as we appreciate the thought, no casseroles or pies. We're still eating our weight in leftovers.
