EZRA

how charming. ezra thought to himself as he walked down one of the sidewalks of moorbooke’s downtown area, the quiet little town of moorbrooke had begun to grow on him a bit, and it had only been two weeks since his arrival. as he passed a group of kids who were arguing over what ice cream flavor was the best one shouts to him ‘hey mister! mint choco chip or chocolate?’ to which ezra lightly laughed and responded ‘rocky road’ sending the kids into a whole other debate on rocky road versus s’mores flavored ice cream. it was the innocence of the town that really stood out to him. he had never been to a place that had almost an angelic feeling to it, but moorbrooke shined brightly. it intrigued him because he wondered, what secrets could a town like this have?

as his thoughts began to drift off into the realm of possibilities someone drops their wallet as they walk by him. his attention strays to the fallen item, quickly he bends down to pick it up for them. “excuse me?” he calls out, casually walking up to the individual, holding out the wallet, “you dropped this.” he offers a charming smile as he hands the wallet over, “maybe you can help me out as well,” ezra begins, “i’m new to town, you see, and i was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the best coffee here. you would be a real life saver.”

For as small as this town was, you’d think that one would stop and visit the downtown area on a near daily business, but the truth was, that, other than his cooking gig over at Infusion, Gideon rarely found a reason to mosey about town. That said, he’s lived nearly his entire life here in good ol’ Moorbrooke, and had spent more than enough time in his youth running around town with his cousin and their friends, so he figured that more than made up for his lack of interest in anything the town had to offer these days. Today was a rare day, in which he found himself venturing into town, in order to pick up a few things for his sister down at the market and Zehrs - he owed her a few favors, he reckoned, so it was the least he could do. The sun was beaming down on him as he walked, his intensely blue eyes squinting due to the sensitivity to how bright it was, and he was mentally cursing himself for thinking that walking, especially in this heat, had been the smartest choice. Or just forgetting to bring a pair of sunglasses, at the very least. With his first stop in sight, Gideon sighed and hurried his steps...only to pause mid-trek when he heard the call for his attention. 

He frowned at the sight of his wallet, and shook his head at his stupidity. “Oh, shit...Thanks, man,” he sighed, grateful that other hadn’t simply stollen the damn thing. Not that there was much in there to steal to begin with, but it was the principle of the thing. “Can’t exactly get the things I’m after without that, huh?” he tried for a wry side smile, and nodded slowly at the request. “Well...uh, I don’t know about it being the best place, necessarily - as a non-coffee drinker, I can’t exactly confirm that claim - but there’s Delia’s, just around the corner from here; It seems to be a fairly popular place to get a cup o’ coffee.”

KYLAN

 by this point in his residency in the small town kylan was certain that the citizens of moobrrooke, maine no longer found anything he did surprising. who else would set up a random kissing booth out of pure boredom? of course when he got the idea of setting up said kissing booth he did not stop to think about how boring it would be to sit alone for a majority of the day just waiting for someone to stop by. he had set up his booth about an hour ago now and it was actually kind of successful to his surprise. kylan wasn’t charging for kisses yet he had managed to not only earn some kisses, but some money as well thanks to the generous people of moorbrooke. still it wasn’t enough to keep his attention from wandering, soon being distracted by a person who was passing by, “psst! hey, you!” he called, waving them over.  “c’mere.” a grin spreads on his lips when the person ends up coming over. “tell me you’re not up to much right now. i was kind of hoping i could steal you to join me for some conversation for a bit. running your own kissing booth is not as thrilling as it may seem. maybe your gorgeous face will help attract more people, though they’ll be sorely disappointment when it’s me that goes in for the kiss.”

Diamond considered herself pretty well desensitized to weird shit. Especially the weird shit you might wander upon on the streets, as was the norm when you spent your whole life until recently living in New York City. If you lived there for as long as Diamond had and walked the streets just as often, then you tended to get used to seeing what the rest of the world would deem as odd and obnoxious fairly early on in life. So when she came upon a lone man sitting at a random ass kissing booth during her afternoon stroll through Moorbrooke, she hardly batted an eye...until he called out to her. Which again, wasn’t unusual, but in Moorbrooke? Highly irregular...enough so, that she found herself mildly intrigued by the summons, “I was just walking,” she offered, stating the obvious as she came to a stop. “Just conversation?” What the hell, she thought with a mental shrug as she made her way over, curiously. It wasn’t like she had anything else to do that day. “Alright, but screw that noise, buck’o. If I’m going to be spending my afternoon with you, keeping you company at this silly booth in this hot ass weather, the least you can do is cut me in on the action and the reward,” she brokered, with a playful grin in place.

@moorbrookestarters​ where: ​delia’s cafe

‘ would you believe me that in the three years I’ve been living here this is the first time I come here?” Isaak hums looking around the café. “ I’ve passed by a couple of times and thought to myself ‘ this time I’m going in’ but then I would forget. I guess today was the day.” They glance back at the other with a small smile.” I’m not even sure what to get.”

“I would, actually. It’s not that unbelievable. Just because you live somewhere, doesn’t mean you’re obligated to visit every establishment it has to offer. You can live somewhere for decades and never step foot in half of the places in town,” Diamond assured the individual beside her, stepping subconsciously to the side to let them have a better look at the menu, having already made up her mind on what she’d be ordering for herself. She shot them an amused smile, “Need any help? I could maybe recommend a few things?”

OPEN START TO: EVERYONE. LOCATION: MOORBROKE’S CINEMA.

since his teenhood, harold wasn’t the biggest fan of technology; he would instead rent a movie or read a book while his friends were on social media. that’s mainly one of the reasons why he works and how he adores moorbroke’s cinema. netflix? no, thank you.

it was his day off but that didn’t stop him from going to the workplace to rent a movie. of course he would take a long time to decide which one to pick. he had two dvds in his hands while looking intrigued but undecided. “the silence of the lambs or hereditary?” he thought to himself.

As a reward to himself for getting through the workweek without too many incidences, Gideon had decided to go visit the local cinema, maybe catch a movie and just relax for a couple of hours. It wasn’t a trip he made often, as he was generally far too busy to get to do much, what with work and his classes that he was constantly juggling. He had very little downtime. Thankfully, as it was the summer, he now had a bit more free time than usual and he was currently making the most of it while it lasted.

 With his arms full of unhealthy junk food that would make his strict Italian grandmother weep in shame, Gideon was just passing by when he heard the rhetoric question and he couldn’t help but pause to put his own two cents in. 

“Is both an option? ‘Cause it sounds like an option to me.”
