Yo ♥️ Cuba

“Unfortunately, yes. My town is just about 99% filled with very narrow minded, republicans. It sounds just as bad as it was,” the curly headed brunette recalls her life prior to traveling. It was….very closed off, boring, and mundane. At this point, she would be okay with never returning. “It’s solid. I would totally buy more. I’m not really picky when it comes to my weed, just as long as it’s decent quality and I’m not getting ripped off with cheap shit. You feel me?”

Claudia cringed a little but because she would honestly hate that. It was one of the reasons she loved New York so much. The people and the culture. People who were kicked out of small town’s like Daisy’s came here to find love and acceptance. Claudia found herself surrounded by that everyday. “I won’t rip you off. You’re mad cool. If you were super weird and dumb, I would probably try to do that though.” Claudia took a hit and passed the joint back to Daisy. “And you know...towns like those are sometimes hard to leave. What do you think was the hardest part about moving from a small town to a big city?” She wondered, running her hands through her hair. 

“ do you ever wonder what it would be like if the purge actually happened? ” namkyu had been sitting on the question for the last ten minutes, scanning the bar for anyone he might be able to take home for the night. now, this probably wasn’t the best question to start a conversation with, but hey – when in rome, right? “ i enjoyed those movies, but always was curious as to if someone would have it out for me. and if they did, why? like, i don’t think i’ve done anything preposterous to those i’ve known. ” besides, you know, leaving anyone he’s ever loved. “ do you think you’d be safe if it happened? ”

It was a particularly busy night at Blue Bar, and Claudia was making mad tips. Needless to say, she was in a good mood. She poured a drink for Namkyu and slid it across the bar to him. She thought about the list of people who disliked her. Claudia was a pretty friendly person - not the nicest person and she definitely had her issues with some people. She was pretty toxic, after all. And she struggled with drugs...and probably owed a bunch of people money. She tilted her head in thought. “Nah... I think I’d be okay. I have Lemon and Jude to protect me anyway.” She giggled. “It’s not like I have anything of worth anyway. If they had a purge in Kingsboro, I’d only be really nervous if I was super rich and lived in North Kings.” She thought aloud.

“Hey, do you want to do a body shot off me?” Stella asked the next person who walked past her. She was currently at work, her shifts during the week always being a little slow. She didn’t even really care how much money she made tonight, considering she made a bulk of her tips during the weekend. The blonde was just….bored at the moment and in need of some new faces and entertainment. Dressed in her little hot pink lingerie set, she fanned her perfectly put on fake eyelashes, hoping they say yes. 

Claudia came come to Peppermints on her night off to catch up with some friends, and of course, to visit her roommate, Stella, too. The bar was packed tonight, which Claudia was no stranger to. The artist was on her way up to the bar to order the next round when she almost walked past the dancer. “There you are! I didn’t want to bother you, but I think a body shot would be hot.” She suggested. “As long as we split whatever we make from it...C’mon let’s get up there together.” She starting dragging Stella up towards the stage. Claudia knew she probably wasn’t allowed to do this but she was actually drunk as fuck and didn’t care either. 

“Same here, I could never be one of those people who stay in their hometown forever. I think I would go crazy,” Daisy admitted. At one point, she thought that was going to be her reality. But, she had to take the first scary step and do something that would make her happy, not others. “Oh shit, 35 dollars? That’s not bad at all, let me give it a try,” she nods her head as she takes the blunt and draws it to her lips. Inhaling, she then exhaled the smoke and let it fill up the  are around them. “Yeah, this is pretty damn good. I’ll have to defiantly get some for myself.”

“Well, are you from one of those really small hick towns where like everyone is the same?” She asked, chuckling a little. She hoped she didn’t take offense to that, but Daisy seemed like the type that wasn’t fond of her hometown anyway. Claudia passed the blunt over to the other woman. “What do you think? I mean, it’s quality weed. Roman really has a green thumb.” She took the blunt back from Daisy and took a few tokes, coughing a little when it burned her throat. 

Rae laid back on the couch and smiled at her, “My little brother, the icon, legend, star,” she laughed. “I can’t lie, I paid for a little bit of it, I felt bad spending all of Jude’s money - he works so hard, you know?” she said, grabbing a handful of nacho fries and scarfing them. “Oh also, Baja Blasts - frozen ones,” she said, passing one to Claudia along with a straw. “I take care of my girl,” she joked. “I really missed this,” she said, a little more seriously. “How’ve you been feeling?” 

It was sweet of Raelynn to chip in a little bit of her own money for the meal. It made Claudia almost feeling bad for not tossing in a few bucks, but she didn’t really have a lot of that to spare lately. “Well thank you, Judith.” She raised her Baja Blast in the air to toast him. Claudia sipped on the drink before nodding her head in agreement. “Yeah...” she looked over at her old friend fondly. “I’m really glad you came over, Rae” she admitted. “Truthfully though...I’ve been better. I’ve been trying to keep myself as busy as possible to keep myself distracted, but there’s only so much I could paint. Lemon’s been a really big help too.” She told her. “And this...this is helpful.”

Allister of course was distracted by the way Claudia was eating, always making a mess regardless of what she put in her mouth. He chuckled, and then shook his head before saying anything else. “Do you know how to eat without getting it all over yourself first?” He joked, and then cracked his knuckles out of habit. “What’s her type? Quiet and painfully shy?” Allister was still teasing, though he really wasn’t sure why someone as full of life and completely opposite of him would be into someone so timid.

“It has been quite the change, but something that I personally needed,” she replied. “Coming from a town where I literally knew everyone to a city where I didn’t know a soul? It can be a little scary,” Daisy admitted as she climbed into the van, closing the door and plopping down on her front seat. “I don’t have a dealer here yet, so I’d be down to checking him out. Are the prices fair? Your girl is still on a bit of a budget until I find more steady work,” she giggles. 

“I knew everyone back in Miami. At least everyone from my neighborhood, which was one of the reasons I decided I needed a change.” There were a lot of reasons as to why Claudia left Miami. She wouldn’t get into all of them now so as to not scare off her new friend. “My prices are fair. But this bud is amazing. It goes for $35 for an eighth. But it’s worth it. Promise. Here.” Claudia lit up and took a hit, then passed the joint over to the other.

trav made a face and grimaced, “is there anyone that guy hasn’t fucked?” he muttered, okay so he was still a little bitter over the whole mess with aaron and mat, still, he had taken the job, so maybe he was the bigger man after all. “yeah, he is a pig.” he agreed half-heartedly. he never had as much as a hard-on about the rich as cillian and claudia had, but he still hated the way rich people felt like they were better than everyone, it was obnoxious. “i am..” he shrugged, “but i haven’t had sex in a while with mat out of town, so…”

“Okay!” Rae said excitedly, pulling out the metric ton of food she’d picked up from Taco Bell to bring to Claudia. “We’ve got - Crunchwrap supremes, some cheesy gordita crunches, nacho bell grande, nacho fries, doritos locos tacos-” she stopped short to look into the bag again, “Oh and of course I got the cinnamon twists to snack on, but that’s not even the best part,” she said, grinning at Claudia and reaching for a bag she had hidden behind her, “I knew we’d need real dessert, so I picked up these brownies from Sweet Escapes, there’s literally peanut butter in them.” Rae was a little too proud of herself, but she also wanted to make this effort to try and let Claudia know that they could get back to the friendship they had if they really tried. “So, how’s everything look?”

Mingyu gasped at how the female seemed to be swinging aimlessly and unable to see who or what she may be hitting. When he heard her hit something that was definitely not the target that she had aimed for, he reached out and grabbed for the bat. “Okay, I think that’s enough of that for today. You hit the wall thank god, however you were very close a few times to hitting some people.”

Claudia felt her friend take the bat away from her and she sighed with relief when she realized that she didn’t hit anyone. The artist took the blind fold off and sighed. “Thank god...but I mean....why did we decide to this here where there are people walking by? I know this is an alley, but we probably should have chosen a better spot.” Claudia knew how careless she could get. “Seriously though, do you think this thing in worth trying to break open? What do you think is in it?” She probably shouldn’t have trusted a piñata that she found in the dumpster. Yet...here she was.
