“NOPE,   that's  mine  now!”   She  runs  away  with  her  ill-gotten  gains  before  the  other  party  can  protest  anymore.   Bare  feet  stride  CONFIDENTLY  down  the  upper  hallway  of  colony  house,   searching  for  more  victims.   “Party  planning  committee!”   Lola  calls  out,   about  ten  decibels  too  loudly,   peeking  into  a  bedroom.   “Party  planning  committee,”   she  repeats.   Just  in  case  they  hadn't  heard  before.   “I'm  here  collecting  DECORATIONS.   For  the  Halloween  party.”

❝ ⸻ I've been wondering why don't we use colony house as like a HAUNTED MANSION . Don't have to do much to it ❞ The heiress looked around as she was carrying a box of things , callie and her have been collecting for the barn . ❝ and gary doesn't even have to dress up . just make sure he's recently waking up in someone's grandmother's PINK robe ... Hi paloma . I am here to also help . ❞ she smiled at the brunette .

He  plants  the  shovel  in  the  dirt  once  more   —   Sly  and  Rosa  had  THOUGHT  they'd  been  finished,   then  found  a  missing  limb  while  having  their  celebratory  beer,   apparently  premature   —   and  looks  for  the  voice.    He  sees  her  smile  at  him  like  that,   and  persona  immediately  SHIFTS,   morphing  like  mercury  at  the  opportunity  to  be  charming.   Weathered  edges  of  bright  eyes  crinkle  up  in  a  smile,   and  his  tongue  darts  out  across  his  bottom  lip  before  he  sucks  it  into  his  mouth  and  lightly  bites  down.    "Well,   hey  there,   PRETTY  LADY,"   he  croons,   voice  smooth  and  thick  as  velvet.   He  dusts  his  hands  off  on  already  filthy  jeans  as  he  makes  his  way  around  the  mounds  of  dirt  and  over  to  her.   "That's  very  kind  of  you,   thank  you."   He  looks  her  up  and  down   —   so  open  it's  practically  VULGAR.   "What  is  it  you  brought  me,  sweetheart?" All  the  ones  who  live  outside  of  either  of  the  ESTABLISHED  ORDERS  in  this  place  are  so   —   interesting.   Stupid,   maybe.   But  there's  a  fearlessness  in  living  like  that  which  is  impossible  to  deny,   no  matter  how  you  look  at  it.   He  likes  to  think  he's  a  LONE  WOLF,   but   —    You  can  take  the  man  out  of  the  cult,   but  you  can  never  take  the  cult  mentality  out  of  the  man.   Sly  would  never  survive  without  a  group  to  ENMESH  himself  in.   He  could  never  live  like  she  does.

❝ ⸻ always so charming , silver fox ❞ she teased . PRETTY LADY . the thought always made her titter . she was confident in herself and her body to know that it was a fact . this face is pretty . silas was also a handsome man and it didn't go notice the way he looked her up and down .

❝ I brought you what can be considered TOP SHELF poor man's alcohol ❞ a BOTTLE she has taken for herself but decided to give it to him . considering all the hard work , Silas was doing and all the bodies he was burying . ❝ you've been working hard today and thought you should have a reward . ❞

the brunette woman held out the bottle with one hand for him to take and with the other decided to wipe away the bit of dirt on his cheek . olivia was naïve when it came to personal space . albeit she knew her bounderies and when people put them , she respected it . Yet , she was a very touchy person . no matter who or what it is .

❝ take it home , shower the dirt of you , and relax . I believe after last night , everyone should take it easy . at least until the small little funeral that will be held tomorrow . ❞ olivia NEVER went to the funerals they held . they did see her afterwards when they got food , otherwise , the brunette was elsewhere . ❝ ⸻ I'm sure rosa would agree to that , don't you think ? ❞

she could understand why putlock would be shutdown . while she loved them , she didn't suggested it too often . there was only so much food and ingredients . she was right about that . ❝ ⸻ I love a good spa day girls slumber party . Although , all girls and one boy . the guy I'm living with jérémie , he might join . cute and smart. ❞ she wanted to do something to relax, have fun and just let loose . in that moment she remembered something . ❝ Wait ... If the dates align HALLOWEEN is coming soon ? I heard someone talking about it . maybe we can get in on that ? I can totally provide the awesome music . Bless Nile's ipod for it . It may be old but he had music in it for every occasion and rumor has it some guy from a rock band is stuck here too . ❞

❝ I'm sure they can . I do count my blessings although , I can't really use my black card here ❞ she lightly laughed . the reality of being stuck there . She could honestly only count herself lucky that she got stuck there on her way to a 3 month trip to Greece and she took basically everything she needed and wanted in the limo with her . ❝ I like colony house but the idea of sharing my things with someone I don't like or barely know, is horrifying . what if someone ruined my favorite chanel boots . ❞

if someone ruined her chanel boots . anora would honestly cry . especially since those were her mother's favorite , hence why they were hers . she might have never met the woman but her mother clearly had killer fashion sense .

the reasoning was there, adan could admit. clothes weren't exactly something they had many options in and pretty much everyone in the colony house shared. usually though, his were skated over and that made this a little more tense to him. a hand scratched at his neck for a moment, nodding along. "no, i get that. sometimes the mood is just for specific color. it'd be a great color on you; sure most if it not all are." there's an ease to the compliment.

with his clean white t-shirt in her hand and jeans in the other , olivia looked adan over . she was aware some people didn't like it when others took . yet the rules of colony house made it easy for them not to be completely mad over sharing . she did always returned it clean to their rightful owners .

olivia always found marama to be a quite adorable little thing . she knew she loved the wild but because of the monsters , no one would dare to spend the night in darkness and having it be potentially their last . ❝ Of course , I would ... But you would have to follow my RULES . no exception . the forest are different than the woods . Just like colony house and the town has their rules , I have some of my own . If you get hurt it's because you didn't follow them . ❞ After all , no one knew exactly where she slept or what she did out there . seeing the horrors would change and traumatize someone. Yet , olivia was always as playful as ever . ❝ Just say when and i'll take you with me , mara . a night with the stars . you see them more clearly out there . ❞

❝ ⸻ Oh my god ! FoodTok . Especially when she screams DEATH ROW ! ❞ that got a laugh at out of Anora . She could never skip a putlock court room review from the girl . even though she can't cook herself , anora can only make two deserts and it was one her grandmother taught her how to make . ❝ seriously , I can agree with you there . Oh , Oh ! Let's have a putlock next week! what do you say spread the word ?❞ the idea of planning something fun perked her up .

listening to her next words took her by surprise . she knew her father and grandparents would stop at nothing to find her . she didn't think much on others . perhaps her two close friends , she was always with . she truly missed them all . ❝ there's nothing to be jealous about . I just got lucky being born a du pont . there's plenty of things others can do that I can't. Besides you're beautiful too ... I don't know about that shirt though ❞ she lightly teased , albeit she was also being honest . ❝ I'm sure there's someone that doesn't believe that and looking for you both too ? ❞ or at least she liked to believe that . she didn't know what was her story exactly .

for the most part, adan didn't mind much about all of them sharing clothing. he had always been a plain shirt and jeans and boots sort of guy. so more often than not, he managed to get his own things back after laundry was done. sure, sometimes they were gone, but it didn't feel like most wanted to keep using the neutral colored clothing over and over again if they could help it. especially if new blood kept coming in.

❝ ⸻ Adan." She smiled once she saw him . despite being caught , she still kept looking thought the line . Finding a white plain shirt that belonged to him and a pair of nice jeans . ❝ ⸻ I think I just want to put on a plain white t-shirt and some jeans . This dress is nice but , I really want to wear something white . ❞ Olivia smiled as she motioned towards the dress she wore , it was a little on the short side but beggars can't be choosers . Albeit , if it were up to her , she wouldn't mind not wearing anything . she was told that wasn't appropriate .
