Where & When: Anything from the *April newsletter*

“Please tell me you got a lighter,” Marlon said, patting his pockets down once, and then a second time. “Because I’m pretty sure I left mine at home.” 

“Unfortunately for you, I do not. Smoking is a sin.” Pierce stated, waggling his finger in their direction. “Also, I have the lungs of newborn child. But I’m sure someone will have a lighter at the Griddle.” He paused, feigning a shocked expression. “Unless your need for a lighter was meant for potentially arsonist activities. Don’t do it, Marlon. Not on free grilled cheese day.”

location: Redcliff Street

The idea of moving into a new place was exciting, Matt couldn’t wait to settle into his new place. He forgot how boring the whole process could get though, especially now that he was dealing with the most tedious part, which was labeling the boxes. “You can keep that one if you like it.” He said to the person who was helping him, gesturing the object they were holding. 

“Hm. It’s colorful.” Pierce described, as he inspected the object. “And I’m kind of going for a plain and bland vibe... you know, to bore people to death.” Unsurprisingly, his tone was anything but sarcastic. “Maybe I can put it in Book Nook though or give it to my assistant.” He said with a shrug, before placing it to one side. “At least you don’t have far to go with these boxes.”

“What the fuck kind of welcome to the world gift do you get for two babies that are like–” He held out his palm and gestured to the length of it with his index finger as a size comparison, “–This big?” 

“I think hand sanitizer and a cigar should suffice. Let them pick, then you’ll know which one lives on the edge.” 

Seb: ticket going spare for the double bill at paradiso on the 28th 🎫

Seb: that means its yours

Seb: you better be coming

Pierce: Hours of having to talk to no one?

Pierce: That sounds perfect.

Amelia: I dropped my smoothie 2 minutes after leaving the place I got it

Amelia: But I was going to be late for work if I went back for another

Amelia: So I couldn't and just spent my day wondering why some people are cursed. Any theories?

Pierce: My superstitious sisters would ask if you broke a mirror, stepped on a curb, etc.

WHERE: Book Nook

It had been a slow day at the office — or rather Book Nook, and Pierce found himself at a loss for things to do. Especially since he’d hired an assistant who had no trouble in making sure his life was stress-free. He hated it. With a coffee in hand, traipsing around the store with no purpose, he spotted a familiar face between the bookshelves and curbed his spontaneity.

“Joseph,” he greeted, as he turned the corner in order to meet him. “You here for inspiration or to give my life meaning? Either one is fine.”

WHERE: Outside Bliss

Pierce still hadn’t been entirely certain that Dante hadn’t used some sort of witchcraft to coerce him into accepting her invitation of frozen yogurt. He’d hated the idea when he’d thought about it afterwards, being surrounded by some hipster bullshit and probably appearing in the background of numerous ‘influencers’ posts — but alas, somehow here he was. Or rather waiting outside for her arrival, leaning against his car with arms folded in anything but anticipation for today’s outing. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for him to notice the bubbly blonde making her way towards him.

“Well I wasn’t going in alone.”

Ty: u said list one thing that's sexier than politics

Pierce: and you can't even think of one little thing?

Pierce: therefore politics is the pinnacle of sexy.

Dante: *butterfly

Dante: But if you're social buttercup can I be social bubbles? now we just need a social blossoms! xD

Dante: Changed your ring tone to build me up buttercup btw.

Dante: You will never live this down.

Dante: Yes! I knew you'd cave thinking of that amazing mango flavor they have. (which is clearly what I'm having).

Pierce: You're literally the most annoying person I've ever met.

Pierce: After this, I wish to no longer associate with you -- or any other human.

Pierce: I'll see you at Bliss.

Dante: Hey! So now that we are fro-yo specialist do you wanna come have it with me?

Dante: They're having buy one get one free at the Bliss on the 6th.

Dante: Could be fun. Think if we go there a couple more we might defuse the hipsterness of the whole place and assert our dominance over the younger generations?

Pierce: Since when did I become a social buttercup?

Pierce: That sounds like hell.

[ten minutes later...]

This feels ooc but I had a similar anon when I first changed to Joe and never answered it, so I’m going to address this under a read more to keep the dash crisp.

“Ha. Don’t know what you’re talking about.”

joey: time for an episode of everyone's favorite game show: wtf happened on joey's shift last night?

joey: as always, if you guess correctly you get the freshly baked cookies of your choice

pierce: did someone die?

Ty: idk dude i can barely think right now

Ty: u try waiting in a dmv line for hours and then listing shit

Pierce: that is probably the marijuana
