MARI

We've got just about everything planned now, so I guess we should pick an actual date. How about June 13? We can finish planning everything that's left in a month.

SEPARATE TEXTS TO MILES & PHOEBE

-- I need help.
-- I fake proposed to Jude on Valentine's Day to get him back for his promposal.
-- Except he's an asshole, so he said yes.
-- So I leaned into it, right?
-- But then he came back with a ring.
-- So now I need to call his bluff by going wedding dress shopping.

TEXTS TO JUDE

-- Morning.
-- Let's go get breakfast today.

TEXTS TO MILES

-- Hey 🙋🏽‍♀️
-- Just checking in. Been awhile since I've heard from you.
-- Coffee soon?

In case you aren't the sort to watch a grown ass woman pretend to be a goose that terrorizes innocent folks for hours at a time, you would have missed my getting the phone call (because I am also a professional grown ass woman) that told me that I have been approved to adopt this beautiful face:

Piper and I went and met her today and apparently they were so impressed by how the two immediately bonded that they couldn't say no. So I will be picking Miss Narene up Wednesday afternoon to come to her furever home. 💗

Can I talk to you about something weird?

Can I just say that you have definitely found yourself a good one when they not only send you pizza as a way to ask you to the town prom, but they also get it with all your favorite toppings? Because my god, that is the way to my heart.

(Yes, by the way. My answer is yes, duh.)

Question. Who was that woman that stopped by the office today?

Starting today through October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. I grew up in Rio Grande City, which is a border town in southern Texas. Though my parents were both born in the US, both my paternal grandparents and maternal grandfather all are originally from Mexico. Basically what I'm saying is that I'm pretty Hispanic, so the next several weeks are pretty near and dear to my heart, especially (and not to get too political here, despite that I very easily could) what we've seen going on at our southern borders.

I know that there aren't any specific events here in town, but the Smithsonian has a whole month of events planned out that they always do, which I wanted to draw some attention to, if you find yourself with some freetime in DC and wanted something to check out. They have some pretty great exhibits and collections to check out, including a pretty cool ZooFiesta at the National Zoo.

Anyway. To celebrate myself, I'm going to attempt to make this recipe my mamá sent me to make her carnitas and tortillas. I apologize to anyone that lives at Pine Ridge, in case this goes poorly and you all have to smell my failure. Que pases buenas noches, Dunhaven.

TEXTS TO JUDE

-- Help.
-- I cannot spend another night sleeping in an apartment with no AC.
-- Can Winston and I pleeeeease sleep at your place until it's fixed?

Whoops, getting political between classes, fam. 🤷🏾‍♀️

The World According to Winston: 7:30 am on Sunday morning is the best time to go to the dog park.

He stood on my bed and dropped his leash onto my face.

I need so much coffee.

TEXT TO JUDE

-- If I were the type of girl who noticed these things, I'd wish you a happy one week anniversary.

Who else is doing the food challenge at the new Italian place tomorrow?

NAOMI & ELI

I need to tell you both something. Before we continue working on these suits and eventually finish them, I think it's important that you both know that I'm going to use it. Mr. Salazar, I once told Mr. Stark that, when I can do the things that I do, and I don't, and then the bad things happen, it's on me. And I still feel that way, you know? Like, I don't think it's really fair of me to sit here and pretend like the universe didn't give me the same abilities I had there for a reason. And I just thought I needed to tell you both that in case you didn't really want to be a part of my choice to do it.

And obviously it's up for discussion, but I should say that it's going to be really hard to change my mind.

Dunhaven, I'd like you to introduce you to someone.

#tbt to four years ago when I made the best decision of my life and went to the courthouse to upgrade my relationship status from "dating the very best of them" to "holy forking shirtballs I get to call him my husband now". Love you forever, Miles. 😘 🥰

Sorry not sorry, Dunhaven, we weren't here last year for me to make a big deal of it in public. #noregrets

WHO: Mariela Rodriguez → Veronica Mars / Mentions of Jude Campbell.
WHERE: Neptune, California.
WHEN: Backdated to early hours of the morning on July 4th.
WHAT: Mariela gets her first complete memory.
RATING: High. Mentions of murder and death.
STATUS: narrative; complete.


( Things were all going just a little too well, and if her past had taught her anything, it was that the good times never last. )

What's everyone's plans for the weekend? I just need to know so I can copy all the cool ideas. 😉

OCEANA

Hi, good morning! I was wondering if you have any open studio time available in the next couple of days?

NAOMI

Hi, wife. Question: If we had our dream house, what would you want in it? I was thinking about Elias Salazar's house and that sweet lab in the basement and how I'd really want a lab, too, but also maybe space to dance? Oh my god and a karaoke machine so we can have legit rap battles with mic drops??

MR SALAZAR

Hi, good morning, Mr. Salazar! I probably should be askig my supervisor so I'm really sorry if I'm overstepping my bounds or being insubordinate in any way but I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you about picking up more hours? I know it's just an internship and I'm so ridiculously grateful for it, and the part-time hours, and the opportunity and everything. Like it's pretty much already a dream come true. But if there was anywhere else in the company that I could pick up any hours, I'd be so grateful. Anyway, I just thought I'd ask! Hope you have an awesome day, Mr. Salazar!

MARI

You know what we need to do? Paintball.

To anyone else who happened to find a tarot card in their mailbox within the last few weeks, the mystery has been solved.

What you received was in fact a very poorly thought out marketing campaign by Mountain Magic & Tarot Cards. They left the cards as a promotion, but somehow neglected to leave any information about their shop. No malice was intended with the cards.

JUDE

Are you free tonight?

Who did this? Who put this in my mailbox?

NETWORK POST TO CHARLIE PARKER

Sorry if I came off a little rude on your post the other day. I just didn't know how to process that info. Truth be told, I'm still struggling with it a little bit, but I'm getting there.

I was wondering if you would be free sometime to let me buy you a coffee and ask you some more questions about all of this?
