elliot wasn’t the biggest fan of events like these. to be honest, the best part of them was the free booze; well that and making wisecracks with joakim. “yeah, they must be the exception, gotta make sure someone talks about this later in the most fake grassroots way possible,” elliot says, a sharply dismissive look on his face as he glanced covertly toward the cluster of influencers that were far enough away that he didn’t have to lower his voice, but still a little too close for his comfort. “i should get my phone out and start snapping selfies.” he’d taken the dress code as an opportunity to wear a pair of horrifying strappy sandals he’d had in his closet for a while, though he was also tempted to kick them off all together and go barefoot, and insist that it was within theme. at joakim’s question, he gave a little half shrug as he tipped his drink up and roughly half of it disappeared down his throat. “clicked through the singles on their spotify, they’re not godawful but also they’re nothing we haven’t heard before,” he said, wiping his bottom lip with his wrist, and then made a face. “this is definitely the most godawful gin i’ve ever had, though.”

━━━━ “Saul and Circle, huh,” Joakim said next to Elliot, cameras here and there flashing as their pictures are being taken. For a listening party, the amount of camera presence was slightly surprising. “So on the invitation when they said no cameras allowed, they meant us and everyone else. But them,” and he gestured at the social media influencers somewhere else, talking to the screens of their mobile phones, “they’re fine, I see. Ballsy strategy.” There was also a dress code, strictly hippie or boho and nothing borderline sartorial (much to Joakim’s chagrin because that’s his thing). He had to raid a few stores to find the most comfortable slub button down shirt (and he did, hoorah), had to video-call Elliot to triple check when it came down to printed pants (they narrowed it down to three, two made him look like a gigolo—in a positive way—and made their pick), a pair of loafers (why couldn’t he wear his Chucks?!), and layers of necklaces (he loved these at least). “Were you able to sample some of the group’s music?” He turned to Elliot, glad that the cameras are now focused on someone else. “Really like the table set up for the food,” Joakim praised. The setup was: vegetarian, including dessert. They have at least 2 more hours before the album’s officially released, and the curated playlist at the moment was interesting, to say the least.

creepy locations, baby.

Unknown location, inside a grocery store (a 7-11 rip off but pristineand squeaky clean).

“Joaks, Twinkies or Twix?” Elliot called out, snacks in his hand as heplayfully weighs them down.

Joakim was somewhat distracted, Coke Zero bottle in his hand, opened.His eyes are fixated on the self-check out kiosk on his left. “Uhh, Twinkies,E,” he responded, almost dully. Did the POS just came on? Now it’s blinkingrapidly. Joakim frowned, “Hey, Elliot—come over here. Quickly!” And there’sshuffling behind him, Elliot now by his side.

“What’s going on… What the fu…” Elliot trailed off, eyes wide.

The self-checkout kiosks are now occupied, people are seemingly huddledclose to each, their backs against Joakim and Elliot.

Did you see—are youseeing…??

Joakim nodded. No, Elliot didn’t speak up. He thought it and Joakim heard him.

“Hello, boys. Are you ready to check out?” An unsmiling woman asked, outof nowhere. Her eyes are hollow, all sclera. Her face elongated, almost elfen butnot quite.

An unsmiling man stood next to the woman, unnaturally tall yet stooping.

“Do you smell that?” Elliot asked, making a face.

The woman spoke once more. “When you’re ready to check out, feel free touse the self-checkout kiosks or the cashiers. We’re always happy to help.”

Joakim turned to look, jumping slightly. Elliot was next to him, clutchingon his forearm, muttering holy shit holyshit holy shit.

Guillotine. The self-checkout kiosks… the cashiers… they’re all…

Whenever Joakim’s in LA, Isaac always takes himto the Griffith Observatory to stargaze and catch up. It’s their thing eversince.

They made a historic (and haunted) road trip onRoute 66 on Isaac’s 18th birthday. Yeaaaah, it lasted for dayshxjbfjzbsvklksz. It was Joakim’s idea, of course. Their parents almost filed amissing report on them because the note Joakim left got buried in the mail (hisparent’s side), and the email he sent to Isaac’s mom and dad went to their spam folders.

Joakim had drunk-video call Isaac a few times.One instance, he sang Queen’s Love of My Life while playing the harp (whichsurprised and amused Isaac). Another instance he read an erotic poemright off the Playboy forum via his laptop. Isaac, for his part, managed toscreen record these instances specifically much to Joakim’s displeasure and amusement.

For a Halloween event at Joakim’s uni, he invitedIsaac. They went as Stevie Nicks andLindsey Buckingham. Joakim as Stevie and Isaac as Lindsey. They won BestCostume… and spent the award money on a food trip (they went to Sausalito).

Joakim makes a playable playlist for Fluke. A fewdays later, Fluke graciously tells Joakim that he liked the playlist albeit sometunes still stressed him out kjjbkdskbnslkjbns.

Fluke is still using a broken phone and so Joakimchipped in and got him a new one –an early birthday present. It took somecoaxing, and Fluke wholly accepted.

They collaborated on a few songs. Power balladsand/or acoustic sets. Fluke meaningfully reminded every one else that he onlywants to work with Joakim.

elliot: SHE DID, YOUR GODDAUGHTER DID DO THAT. and HAH DON'T TRY TO TAKE BACK THAT 'PROUD' STATEMENT, I ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH

elliot: i'm gonna try the vinegar trick, or we might just have to rock it granny style and find a couch cover

elliot: you'd think i was the granny, honestly. my back is a stack of cracked in half egg shells, and i'm contemplating covering my furniture in plastic.

elliot: i told her so and that you called her scalawag, and she cackled with delight. i'm raising gremlins.

joakim: I... YFDGHDSHBDSBFBVSBBS

joakim: you still gotta wash that couch or it'll stink. nothing against cran-apple scent, of course

joakim: gremlins are adorable. just don't piss 'em off. i don't recommend plastic covering, it's hazardous

“I feel like i’m going insane here, honestly I wish I could blow my brains out you know ? Ha ha, sorry, that was probably too dark, so how have you been?” Tobias looked at the person he was talking to,not smiling but trying his best to sound friendly.

━━━━ Joakim looked up from the book he was reading, seeing Tobias and suppressing a grin. “Not a fan of any recreational activity?” He asked, looking to the side and taking a deep breath. “Hey, do you know the access to the rooftop?”

elliot: i wish i could say that it was just a science experiment but uh.

elliot: [living room couch post-penelope incident.png]

elliot: penny decided to take an unpremeditated juice bath on the couch

joakim: ARE YOU SAYING THAT MY GODDAUGHTER DID THAT. IM SO PROUD, DUDE. NO--WAIT, THAT'S BAAAAAD

joakim: i say you either get a new couch, can never go wrong with IKEA. or do that white vinegar + rubbing alcohol mix for the, uh, stain
