Drops of Jupiter

Bethany: Well I would be very happy to have their help!

Bethany: His excitement really is adorable though!

Kaia: Oh goodness, what have I done? 🤣

An arcade is a great idea — paired with a bar serving food and drinks is something that could work very well. Thank you for the suggestion.

A cinema will be going into Metro Mall when our building is complete and we start finding businesses interested in taking some of the units, so there’s not much for a cinema within the village, being more towards the motorway would see better business, but that’s another suggestion I can thank you for.

Yeah, I know when I was a little kid I ended up bugging my parents to buy me some junk food, including cotton candy, etc. Also, you could have it where they get tickets and get the candy as a prize or something, as an exchange for tickets and if you need help with any of the prizes, feel free to pick my brain. If you do go with that idea, and no problem!

Oh, that’s great! I mean, you’re welcome. If I can help any further, totally let me know.

ELLIS: Think my brain is going with old age.

ELLIS: Asher can always join too, if he isn't busy with his family. The more the merrier.

KAIA: I think it could be, which makes sense because you're so old.

Maybe it is, but one can never be sure. I think that it may just be down to the person and their circumstances. 

That’s a fair point. Also, a fair point, and maybe also their surroundings, I guess.

marley: of course! anytime you want

marley: i've been good! how about you? Skye is doing great!

kaia: sweet, she's currently with her dad's until friday, so maybe after halloween?

So it’s self inflicted, good to know.

Or, not only it’s self-inflicted, but something that we pick up around here.

kaia: hey you, i was wondering if stella and i can meet skye? 🥺

In light of new buildings to let within the village and surrounding areas, Wilde Company LTD is looking for further expansions. Of course, we have many wonderful businesses in the village already, but we’re looking to present some new business ideas that everyone thinks would benefit the village. Listening to what people want is a big part of a business model, so in light of this: what is something everyone wants locally?

We also have a vacancy for a bartender in the pub. Applications will be available from bar staff to anyone interested, or you can contact me directly.

I honestly think an arcade of some type would benefit the village, that way, everyone has somewhere to go to enjoy a fun atmosphere. Maybe a cinema? At some point, that way we don’t have to travel that far away to see the newest movies that are playing, if we don’t have any of the streaming sites.

Oh! I will let some of my employees know!

Sometimes I feel really out of touch with the rest of society. Is that just what getting old feels like? Or am I just a hermit?

You’re just a hermit, but don’t worry, I’m right there with you. I’ve been focusing on getting the parlour into tip top shape, that I sometimes go a week or five days without talking to anyone.

Bethany: I am sure there would be so many people stopping you from going! Plus you need to be here for the wedding too! And the reception after!

Bethany: He has brought it up so many times! 😂

Kaia: I feel like Ellis might throw me over his shoulder or Asher might drag me away from leaving.

Apparently there are people who think people should feel different when they’re older… It’s kind of weird thing I don’t get. 

I mean, I’ve heard people ask that question before, so I’m familiar with that concept. Eh, I think it’s more of a figuratively thing, than a literal thing.

Of course, whenever you’re free is great, since, you know, I’m completely free. 

Oh, I can easily make myself free for you and Lils! Since you know, I’m the owner of the parlour.

Asher: Football, huh? I'd offer to help her out with that but I am incredibly uncoordinated so it would end up way worse if I tried to help.

Asher: ...oh wow. I didn't know you'd had all of those fantasies about us! I'm definitely keen to try all of them though when we get to that point. Especially if you showed up to the hospital in a trench coat 😉

Asher: Okay, I'll let you know the next time something like that pops into my mind.

Asher: It's nice when you want to take care of me. Because I'm always taking care of other people, I don't really ever get somebody that takes care of me.

Asher: That sounds like a great plan. Let's do it!

Kaia: I feel like we might need your help when it comes to making sure we're treating her wounds the right way.

Kaia: Yeah...It wasn't something I wanted to do right away, especially when I had those fantasies, but I'm glad that I've shared them with you. Great, I'm looking forward to trying them out with you. Oh, believe me, I'm definitely showing up in a trench coat.

Kaia: Great, thank you.

Kaia: You mean a lot to me, Asher. You've always meant a lot to me, because you're someone whom I can be myself around and basically trust my whole heart with.

Patrick: I might be engaged but my flirt game is still going strong 💪😉

Patrick: I am great at being a distraction. Let me know when and where and I've got you.

Kaia: Im jealous that you even have a flirt game, because I only flirt if I'm interested in someone, I think? I don't really know.

ELLIS: I feel like i've asked this already, but what are your Christmas plans this year?

KAIA: I think you did, but it was a while ago.

KAIA: Spending Christmas with you and Connor and the Roses?

People have been telling me since I was 29 that my 30s is going to feel different. I’ll be 32 years old, and I’m still not convinced. 

Why is everyone talking about feeling any different when they’re older, or panicking about getting older? Am I missing the memo on this?

Yes but that was before I turned twenty nine. I’m now getting old so no more drunken nights for me. Okay, that’s a fair point. I do look good. I’m trying to but it’s terrifying! See, that will be very helpful for the next fancy hospital fundraiser I have to attend with all of the boring hospital people.

Okay, how’s that any different from any other age? I call bs on that and you know it. Thank you, for agreeing with me and you truly do. Especially when you wake up with your hair sticking up everywhere or whenever we’re done making out. Exactly, I can keep the conversation interesting, until they decided to go all full blown medical on us then we’re finding the food.
