an endless diamond sky

Karmen: I prefer the word "carefree" to "stupid", that captures DJ's vibe much better and it makes me smile which is also a bonus. That's okay though, I have a good list of ideas and I'll cross-reference them with Aimee to make sure I get him a basket worthy of his time! After all, the real gift is that we get to have a date together. Our first real Valentine's Day! It's going to be so special. Kam, that would be such a fun basket, I'm sure loads of people would bid on that and it'd make so much money for charity! ...Is that a serious question or are you trolling me right now? Because that would be kind of really mean and I'm sure you know that but if you're comfortable being a mean person then that's definitely something you could do?

Beau: I don't really get what "prudey" is but I like to kiss the people I'm with so if that's the two options, I guess I'm the second one. I mean, that's still assuming that a fwb would wanna do a picnic outing and that they'd want to do stuff afterwards and I'm not in the business of assuming stuff 😂 specially since it happening on the 13th makes it seem real romantic. I don't doubt someone else will notice she's awesome, she is. I just... I don't know, that's not what we are? It's not how we started, or what we agreed to, and I don't wanna be That Guy who tries to push us into being more than we agreed to me. In my experience, the second you start wanting a girl more than she wants you, she ghosts you and leaves you wondering what you did wrong, so. And anyways, if my new friend finds somebody she wants to actually be with aside from just hanging out and having sex, then I'll be happy for her because it'll mean her heart's finally free.

Colton: 🤠🤠🤠 DARN TOOTING I AM! I'm right excited to see what baskets are out there. What about you, milady?

Carter: Well gosh, my dentist has never seemed worried about me doing any of that sort of thing to myself, so whatever I'm doing, I must not be doing it too harshly! That's okay, there's nothing wrong with knowing what you like and not accepting anything less. I just hate to upset folks by not appreciating whatever they offer me.

Carter: I prefer to compare myself to a beignet, I think it would make Auntie Tia happy. Why of course! Big Grandaddy always gives us a mighty big allowance for this event; he wants his money going to a good cause. It's too bad that a magic carpet's illegal, but maybe someone will offer a ride on a jetski or a helicopter or something like that - would that be close enough to make you happy? Causing chaos? I can't say I recommend you doing that, it's supposed to be a nice day for nice people trying to do a nice thing.

Kam: That's good, wouldn't want to see anything happen to that 100 watt smile of yours. I feel like there can be more hiccups then you'd think. There is such a thing as being too stubborn for your own good. And as the least qualified person to give you advice for that exact reason, you can't live your life worrying about other people.

Cassidy: I don't see why those things couldn't be sustainable if you played your cards right. Maybe not the ex thing, eventually one of you moves on or you just get back together, but the rest of it 🤷🏼‍♀️ There are enough sexy songs that are ambiguous, probably. Like they don't have to be about hating OR loving someone, they can just be about wanting to fuck with nothing deeper to it at all.

Cassidy: Unpack WHAT? I could WRITE you one of those songs you want so bad if you just told me.

Kam: If you love someone you hate enough, eventually it's just love. Or if you don't love them enough, eventually it's the attraction just isn't enough to sustain it. Exes don't stay exes if you really want to backslide that far. And secrets? They don't stay secrets for long, especially if you grow up with fucking Jordan. I love her but you get over being embarrassed about your feelings at a REALLY young age. I don't want to pick one or the other, I want it alllllllll.

DJ: Actually, they seem pretty fucking stressed out, but sure, it really worked out for them. Okay, I told her I would do something to ruin it too so it didn't reflect badly on her, and she didn't take that route either. Can you just maybe take ten seconds to think that I might understand my life and my fiance better than you do? I think the only person not getting something here is you, but whatever. Also, Karmen maxes out on two drinks at all times anyway; if she even accepts a third at all, she politely slips it to someone else.

DJ: Not every rich person is a douche? There are plenty of decent and cool princes out there, unless I'm like chopped liver to you or something. Or there could be people like my parents who are a great match and who are really fucking happy, and there's no need to cave because two people can learn to love their circumstances instead of throwing a fit about it? Also, Karmen and I challenge each other plenty. We're different enough to push each other out of our comfort zones but the same enough to get along really well. Also, loving someone so much you want to feed yourself to alligators is stupid, and Karmen would like my hammock room because she could read in it while I take naps.

Kam: Wouldn't you be stressed out if you knew you were going to be related to Chad too? Mmm, I did consider for like more than ten seconds that we should stop talking about this and said that very thing. It's pretty hard to refuse a third drink and slip it to someone else when there's only like two other people around. Party etiquette and girl's night etiquette? Totally different.

Zac: Plenty of people think that if they obligatorily click like on you maybe you'll fuck then, but pictures of someone just sitting there doing nothing are boring. I don't know what you do? I assume all pictures are fake unitl proven otherwise.

Zac: Sure, sign me up for the cave thing. You can even make it small as shit, I'm flexible enough to fit into it. As long as it's near the water where I can fish, then I'm more than fine with that. Especially if you're not anywhere nearby, that's just an added perk.

Kam: Well, then they're fucking idiots and that's nobody's fault but theirs. If someone has millions of followers, you really think one tiny engagement click is going to get noticed? Nah. Well, then maybe you shouldn't accuse me of pulling some dumb duck face.

Alicia: What kind of things would a rich person want that they can't have? Because physically they could afford it, unless you mean things that are good for them mentally like privacy and a job that doesn't make them do crazy hours and weird shit in bad weather?

Alicia: People can always find things to whine about if they want to, I guess. Even people who think they're too cool for that like us.

Kam: There's a lot of things money can't buy, love, friendship, experiences, looks. Although I guess plastic surgery is a thing but usually in the long run people can't stop and they just end up looking worse?

swan: it's easy if you have the art in your soul. if whatever goes into the canvas is what's in your heart it will be a beautiful masterpiece. I can help guide you but you must do the work for it to all be you.

Hair by Little Mix. Someone driving you crazy? Bye bitch, I’m going to go get done up real cute and get over it real quick by dancing my problems away.

Karmen: That makes sense! And honestly, that's probably a good choice; I'm still not sure what to put in my basket and that's knowing I have my basket guaranteed to be bought. I just want it to represent me well, you know? Like how not having a basket at all represents you! What do you mean weird baskets? I'm sure nobody will have anything THAT weird, it's for charity!

Beau: I'm wondering if I should be offended -- you don't know if I kiss on the first date or not, you don't gotta be adding that "no offense"! And aww, well, I'm sure you'll have a good time anyway. Me make a basket for her? No, no, we're not like that, we're just friends with benefits, specifically the benefit of sex. I mean, I like her lots, she might be top three favorite people as of late but I don't wanna be luring her on to a date if that's not what we do.

Harper: There's no such thing as a bad flower! I love carnations, and actually plan on using some for an arrangement I'm creating. It's really cute but also secret so 🤫

Harper: Oh, that's such a good idea! People that win baskets could have a little gift to give in return for their goodies! But I'll leave the InstaRoyal to you. I'm not very good at keeping up with social media.

Kam: I don't know, there's such a thing as a flower I'd be disappointed to receive at the least. But I also have unrealistically high expectations. Telllllllll me, I don't do secret. I mean I won't tell anyone but I neeeeeeeeeeed to know.

Puck: I don't know what that is, but cleaning litter is awesome! I do that all the time, not just for PR, you should try that sometimes. Cleaning the planet is good for the soul!

Puck: But the weirdest thing is probably a basket? I don't go fishing as much as I used to anymore, I've been a little busy with other things.

Kam: It's basically what we call princesses in Agrabah. It did feel pretty good though! And it worked some weird muscles trying to like reach things with the little grabber and also not fall face first into bushes and shit.

Zoe: LOL uh yes I am still on a romance ban. There is a lot of love talk going on now. It's Valentine's time and it's the oddest time of the year. You're completely allowed to look at pretty people and just appreciate how attractive they are! If you want you're more than welcome to rant to me about it whenever you want!
