Repose

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. )

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 )

[He wakes up a few days after this. Doctors are baffled. Assume he had some sort of virulent infection that rendered him unconscious. They toss around medical terms, but can't substantiate any of them. An unknown infection, that's the final verdict, and Atticus doesn't contradict them. Is still feeling weak, but he wants to get out of there. Doctors insist on another night and more tests. Annoying, but he stays. Is told by nurses that a woman was there while he was unconscious. Remembers her somehow. Not sure how, but knows he's seen her around town. Takes a guess on the name. Is good at useless details like that, names and faces. Hates the hospital. The place is full of the dead, roaming, confused. Confused dead are worse than the vengeful ones sometimes. Is wasting time here. Needs to finish his work on the ritual before this shit happens again. After, early morning hours:]

[Locked to Hugh C]
Missed your lock. Awake. Doing fine.

[Locked to Rey S]
Thanks. Was you, right? At the hospital.

[Locked Lear L]
Rented my room out yet?

[And then, after this]

if you hit a cat with your car and then leave it to die? you are literally the worst fucking person.

[As people are wanting cars ready for romantic road trips away, or beginning of the year services and inspections for registration, work is picking up at the shop again. With this knowledge - and her friends' schedule's loosely in mind - Dante hires a couple local kids to run Valentine's day packages around for her while she takes care of things at the shop. All food-related items are fresh and homemade the night before so that none of the food packaged items go bad. Anyone receiving a package may receive their package anytime from tomorrow to Valentine's day (Feb10th-Feb14th) depending on when it would make the most sense for the character to have been in town long enough for someone to find them and give them the package.]

[following on from this, so timey wimey]
[Locked to Noah]

Noah, I'm at the diner talking to the paramedics who are taking Mr McVickers in. I'm going to be going to hospital with him. I don't know who else needs to know but can you either tell them or let me know how to? Thanks. Feel free to give them my number for texts. I'm going to stay with him for a while to make sure he's going to be OK.

[Locked to Del]

Sorry for the short notice, but I've been caught up in a medical emergency and I don't know when I'll be free. I'm fine, but I'm accompanying someone else to hospital. I'll let you know more when I know more and I'll make up my hours this weekend if you need me.

[Working our time magic to say this was posted right after this!]

Atticus is out cold in The Decent Diner. Someone get there before Mabel finds him.

[Whoever gets there will find an unconscious Atticus, carefully maneuvered so it looks like he's sleeping with his head on the countertop. Mabel currently no where in sight--she's in the back probably getting high with the cook-- and a pile of ash on the floor near the table.]

Who: all y'all
What: invited to Webster's Vinyl for pop up karaoke and reopening
Where: oh oops I said alrdy lol Webster's Vinyl
When: Valentine's Day 8PM til whenever

[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.

[Public.]
Hey everyone!

It shouldn’t be cold enough for the roads to freeze overnight but keep in mind that if temps drop below 32 degrees F that roads and cars can ice up. Even if temps don’t get that cold make sure you take the time to warm up older cars before you drive them and don’t shotgun the gas on new cars until the cold engine light goes off.

[Group Lock (Clubbing): Hugh M., Chris F., Rey S., Audrey C. Alex W., Mal R., Clover W, Mao S., Leena B.]
You were all wonderful, and I hope had as much fun being out as I had going with you all. ♥

If clubbing is your thing, hit me up. I try to go at least once a month.

[Locked: Chris F.]
I love you, don’t hate me, let’s never go clubbing with a group that size again.

[Locked: Hugh M.]
I wouldn’t club parent with anyone else, but maybe let’s not do it again soon? But also, have you given more thoughts to what you want to do for your valentine’s drunken dance bash?

[Locked: Leena B.]
[...........................]Hey you. So I think we need to [...........................] Know the weather’s kinda shitty with the rain and not getting above 48 but if you want I got some extra Pozole in the shop fridge for you.

[Locked: Holly N-W.]
How are you?

[Locked: Atticus M.]
How’s the girl doing? Picked a name for her yet?

[Locked: Clover W.]
Girl. Those moves, that dress, the cute slip out at the end. I hope you got yourself some fun follow-up action. Also, let’s get on that corset, yeah?

[Text: Hector]
¡Hola papá! Cocine pozole.

[Text: Artemis. From: 000-000-0000.]
? - I.

[Group Lock (Clubbing): Hugh M., Chris F., Rey S., Audrey C., (EDITED, ADDED LATER) Alex W. & (EDITED AGAIN) Mal R. & Clover W.]
Heeeeeeeey! How’s the night of the 25th sound? Who else should I be including in this lock?

[Locked: Leena B.]
FREEDOM!!! I think I’m gonna sleep 😴 for the next three days. Cool? Cool.

[Locked: Holly N-W.]
Make sure to keep the slimmer brace on today if you can stand it. You’ll need to get used to the weight and shit. Plus the smart tech needs to adjust and the programming will probably take a day to catch up.

[Locked: Atticus M.]
Your girl’s been a doll, but I think it’s time I send her home. How would you like your car delivered back to you?

[Locked: Ren S.]
Amazon tells me those fortune cookies should be here Sunday.

[Locked: Clover W.]
Yooooooooooooo! Cleared out my other projects. When did you wanna come over and get naked for some measurements for your corset? Also? Wanna go clubbing on the 25th? Apparently, I’m helping organize a “repose goes to the club” outing so I think it’s a game plan for anyone who wants in.

[Locked: Diego C.]
Going clubbing in the Capital with a bunch of people probably on the 25th, wanna join?

( MUCH LATER: TEXT: ARTEMIS. )

'True love is worth waiting for' isn't a fortune.

Also all the used paperbacks with the hot men and half dressed women are on sale, so please come buy them.

[Adrian M.]

Should we start to work again?

[Rey S.]

So. Thanks.

[Public.]

Hey! Your friendly neighborhood mechanic. As long as you're not Alison Jonstone, you can fucking rot in the hellfi

Remember as we get into continuously colder months that cats and other small animals may try to hide under cars and near warm engines, exhausts or other things. Normally, this won't be a problem 99% of the time but if something seems weird with your vehicle pay a little more attention.

Keep in mind that as the temperature drops it will impact your tire pressure as well. From a site quick: "A good estimate is for every 10° fluctuation in air temperature, vehicle tire pressure will adjust by about 1 psi. So if outside air temperature decreases 30° from your last tire pressure adjustment, expect tire pressure to drop about 3 psi." - Keep an eye on this through the winter and make sure to check it regularly.

[Locked: Christmas & NYE Party People.]

You were all awesome. Thanks for spending your holiday with my dad and I! ♥

[Locked: Atticus]

We're not going with the convertible option. After running the numbers I'd be too concerned about the structural stability while under high pressure isn't something anyone should chance while going over 200mph. It's do-able but the longtime deterioration of the materials would require a large overhaul at a later date and there'd also be the risk of assuring the roof didn't have a technical difficulty and just rip right the fuck off while you're flying down winding roads.

[Locked: Holly]

How about rainbow LED's on your brace? Cool? Or too gay? ;)

[Locked: Chris]

I'm calling in clubbing for the end of this month.

[Locked: Leena]

( New Years was one of her favorite holidays and anyone who would interact with Dante that night would easily be able to tell by the cheer in her demeanor and the bright, happy smile plastered across her face. )

[OOC note: Anyone who Dante has been friendly with can come to New Years, if you were at the Christmas party it can be safely assumed that if any mention of New Years came up and your character wasn't a jerk during Christmas, they also got an invite to New Years during the Christmas party if they were directly invited by Dante or someone else's +1]

Hey!

New years is almost here. I wasn't gonna do a theme but I keep seeing these cheesy fucking roaring 20's themes and I'm sort of in love with that big art deco flair. Anyone wanna veto roaring 20's theme before I go out and buy a dress for it?

( Schedule for the night: )

[Group Lock: Christmas Party People.]
Hey everyone!

Feel free to start coming over about noon. I’ll have the projector and surround sound set up for movies in the living room. I just moved in not too long ago so sorry about the sparse furniture and lack of Christmas decorations. The address is [address], and I’ll leave Dart my blue Toyota Supra in the driveway. My house sits back from the road a little so you may need to look through some trees to see it.
