Repose

All the world's a stage, etc.

We're gonna do some Shakespeare this summer Repose, so brush off your Complete Works, and practice your soliloquies.

[During this. He calls, and sounds frustrated when it goes right to voicemail.]

Hey, it's me. Call me. Your siblings are planning something well-intentioned and stupid and trying like hell to rope me into it. And just for the record, I told them it's fucking stupid.

[Pause, then:] Love you. Call me.

Click.

hey, you around?

Who: Anyone who wants to attend! (Even if you didn't receive an invite. The doors are unlocked!)
What: A housewarming party
Where: A house in the neighborhood
When: This weekendish
Stuff: Feel free to dibs, post opens, be in multiple threads, and list locations and warnings in headers.

( The theme was heroes, and there was a basket outside the front door, filled with an assortment of DIY masks to be used by anyone who forgot a costume: Superheroes, historical figures, literary heroines and cute animals masks, all covered in glitter and paint. )

Thanks for coming to the karaoke and making it a blast every one! I been thinking that we should all form a boy band (gender neutral term ok) and take the world by storm

Link me to the song you're listening to on repeat, and I'll put your name in a drawing for a free latte.

[Group lock: Jamie M., Hannah S., Adrian M., Audrey C., Dante Z., and Rey S.]

I don't feel like I look like a person who can be easily manhandled, and yet.

( This morning a card to the following people: Noah NW, Holly NW, Alex W, Mal R, Shiloh F, Billy K, Ren S, Rey S, Hugh C, Marta F, Dante Z, Leena B, Jamie M, Mars M, Burden B, Dietre A, Seven M, Casey C and David N )

The Valentine's Day party was amazing. I am still recovering. I think my favorite part was watching people at the photo booth! I wonder when the town will be back to normal though? It's weird having to squeeze by people making out in the produce section.

Guess what? It's It's Macaron Monday! So this morning and afternoon I am making pistachio, chocolate, vanilla, lemon, raspberry and lavender!

I tend to go overboard, so if anyone wants some let me know and I can box a few up for you!

[Holly NW]

So I'm terrified. And it's fucked. Sorry.

[Audrey C]

Hey. So like, don't freak if you see the other teacher for a couple weeks. I'm taking a tiny break.

[Mayers+]

So like, do we start the round of 'hi' now?

[Public]

Is there like, a link between the holiday-specific candy being like, really concentrated in winter and then a candy wasteland between April and like, Halloween? It's not even GOOD candy but it's still way socially acceptable to eat it.

[ETA: Seven M - text]]
hey.

[Derek]
[She just got home from closing up, in her pajamas but still with her hair done and makeup on. Texted, even though she's pretty sure Derek is in the other room:]
Hi

On the forums:

[Holly]
i know i'm late to the not-party and i'm sorry i didn't say anything sooner. i heard you got hurt.

[Jamie]
i apologize for our last conversation. i know that one started out as an apology, but it went off the rails and i didn't react right and said some messed up stuff. i don't want you to feel like you have to reply, but i did want to say that i'm sorry.

[Si]
how goes it?

[Hannah]
how are things going? i saw something about you apartment hunting?

[Against her better judgement, Lear]
congrats on the new house.

[And, finally, Seven]
six months and one day.

[timey wimey, after this; Audrey C. & Dante Z.]

So were you serious about that fortune cookie cake thing?

[locked: Rey S.]

Talking to my parents, the worst idea you've ever heard?

[locked: Jamie M.]

I'm talking about talking about it. So.

What are you up to?

[locked: Kratos S.]

Hey.

Hey

[A few days after the incident at Seven's bar.]

hi hannah
how was your holidays?


[Jamie M]
[After learning who Jamie is.]

hi. sorry about the other day.

[text: Mars M]

you're not allergic to anything are you?

[Voicemail: Seven M - backdated, way late on Christmas night]

Heyy. Voicemail. [Thick. Slurred.] You’re not picking up. Wow, okay. I thought maybe saying Merry Christmas wasn’t a big deal. I guess. Maybe it is, fuck I hate voicemail. It’s like just there, you know? You can't like, take it back or make it heard. You could just delete this I guess. Fuck. Merry Christmas, man. I guess that’s, yeah. That’s all. [Pause. Breathing. Then end.]

[Forums: Hannah S/Amy M]

[Late: also Christmas night.]

Hey Amy?

Do you have strong feelings about religion?

[Holly NW]

Hey so like, what do I get the guy whose music taste can beat mine out the room? How you doing?

[Si M]

Hey, man. I don't know when you'll get this, but I think we're all proud of you. Love you.

[Sage B]

Okay Sagester, I have a mission for you. Super secret Floridan business.

[Alex W]

Hey. How Christmassed out are you?

Who: Jamie & Mars
What: Conversation.
Where: Their place.
When: During this.
Warnings: None.

Oh. My. God. [Mars can be heard through the walls huffing and puffing and stomping from her bed to the hall, en route to seek out her brother.  She felt as though she was being treated like some insubordinate, bad Mayer sister for not giving a lick about Christmas.  She wasn't very good at expressing her feelings, as she'd only been allowed to have them for the last couple of years, but Mars was very good at stomping. She had on fuzzy socks and her arms were crossed over the top of a set of colorful, striped pajamas.]

Wha-at?  [She shouted from the hall, trying to suss out if Jamie was in his room or in the living room.  The place wasn't expansive, not in the slightest, but she still didn't want to explore more than she had to.  Especially not when she was pretty sure the blame train would be arriving soon.] It is whatever you all want to do, I said!

[Hugh M]

I could be a total dick about this fyi

[Group: Mars M, David N, Jamie M, Si M]
[She almost doesn't ask, given how things went for Thanksgiving. But...:]

Hi. It doesn't look like Si is going to be back for Christmas, and I was wondering if you guys had anything planned? Someone invited me for food, but I wanted to know if anyone wanted to come, or if you guys were doing something different?
