“Do you think the kids I babysit would think I was cool if I learned a TikTok dance? I keep seeing the one for Lizzo’s newest song and I don’t think I could manage to learn it without looking absolutely ridiculous.” @nhstarters​

Well that depends on how old the kids are, I guess? I feel like at a certain age kids go from looking up to people to looking down on them real quick. I don’t even know what dance trend you’re talking about, actually - my for your page is mostly home improvement stuff and people cooking food.

Where: The Promenade.

"It loves you back," Jason said in response to the girl who was probably just thinking out loud. Though for the moment he wasn't really interested in what exactly she loved about this town and more interested in the big beautiful dog she had in tow. Because they were constantly moving, he was never allowed a pet growing up. He'd never seen a Doberman in real life before and was dying to pet it. "Did you just call him Obi? Like Obi Wan Kenobi Obi? That's dope. Is he friendly?"

Nikolai grabbed two drinks and then walked over to one of the deck chairs next to the fire pit. He offered it over to the person next to him as a friendly gesture instead of being selfish and hoarding the two drinks to have on his lonesome. He didn’t want to get wasted out here. “Wanna play I’ll drink to that?” The concept was easy enough - give a vague statement, drink if you’d done it, and vice versa. It was a great way of getting to know people on a more personal level without having to be serious. “Or are you afraid of having some fun?”

Jason was truly the son of a candymaker - here he was sitting by the fire pit getting his fingers sticky with a freshly roasted s’more, meanwhile the muscled man joining him brought some alcoholic drinks over. Jason felt like he vaguely recognized him from the gym but in all honesty Jason didn’t go there as often as he ought to. “Hey, I’m always down for some fun,” Jason laughed a little, nudging his knee with his before taking the drink he offered. “I’m Jason by the way. What exactly are we drinking to?” he asked before quickly devouring his s’more, licking melted chocolate from his fingers.

Jason knew most of his coworkers didn’t like to spend time at work when they were off work, but he liked the vibe of the Commodore enough to do just that. He finished the last of his first drink of the evening, sliding his empty glass towards his buddy behind the bar before thinking of something random he could say to the pretty girl beside him just to mess with her a little. “Have I ever thought about the fact that I’ve probably kissed more dogs more times than I’ve kissed other humans? Yes, and you know what, zero regrets. Dogs deserve all the kisses and love in the world.”

“Well… as niche and cliche as another beach party is… I honestly needed a reason to use this new suit anyways,” Aaliyah rambled, her words serving no purpose other than to make small talk with the person next to her. She shrugged on her coverup and did a short twirl in her full length mirror, before raising a brow expectantly at them. “Well? What do you think?” She asked, her tone a bit more clipped and demanding than questioning. @nhstarters​

“You never need a reason or excuse to look gorgeous,” Jason countered, taking a photo of her on his phone before showing it to her so she could see for herself. Somehow he always ended up offering to take pictures for people instead of watching them suffer and stretch their arms for a terrible shot - getting to talk to a pretty girl who might otherwise never give him the time of day was just a nice bonus. “I mean, in the words of Jidenna, I don’t want my best dressed day in a casket, right? So, yes, I think the new suit looks very nice.”
