He’d never received a formal education. It’s not as though he couldn’t read or write. Math wasn’t some foreign concept to him. He learned. But schooling? It just wasn’t pressed upon him as a child. And as he grew he never really felt the urge to pursue it. Never felt the urge to quote unquote ‘better himself’. Abraham had other opportunities. He had other avenues open to him to explore. Other roads – both proverbial and literal – to travel down

So he never understood why people placed such a high value on a formal education. Especially in today’s day and age, with information so readily available? Forget about it.

It was curiosity that had him auditing this class. He wouldn’t be able to say why he had chosen this particular subject. It was almost a throw a dart at a list of names type of situation. But here he was, trying to understand why someone would risk literally everything to receive a piece of paper that told the world they knew some shit.

And so far he had come up empty-handed.

“You know they have all this shit on the internet nowadays, right?” he rhetorically asked one of the nearby students. “And we’re currently on a tropical island in the middle of warm oceans. Seems like a waste being cooped up inside is all I’m saying.”

Classes had never been perfectly easy for Daisy. If it was something that she enjoyed or really wanted to learn about, she tended to do well. If it bored her, well..her mind was likely to wander. Lately though, that’s all it seemed to do. Concentration, even with things that she knew and loved, was fleeting these days. She did try, but soon enough her pencil started to tap on her desk, and pale green eyes stared blankly out the window. 

Dammit.. She really needed to get it together. She didn’t need to disappoint everyone by flunking out on top of everything else. 

Class ended soon enough, and the witch shuffled her way out along with the other students, blinking in the bright sun as she reached the edge of the quad. A male voice caught her attention, and she turned to look curiously at the man who had spoken. He had no collar but complained, which struck her as kinda funny for some reason.

“You’re not wrong. Why are you here then Sir, if you don’t like it?”

Heavens... What had made her think this was a good idea? Grace did adore the holidays, any holiday was an excuse to buy things and dress up for lovely parties. But she was starting to think that perhaps she had been on the island too long. She had turned into quite the little joiner. Grace did hope that she would at the very least be paired with someone amusing, but like may others she had long lost faith in the island’s matchmaking capabilities. 

The vampiress adjusted her red dress as she entered the carnival proper, reaching unto her satin clutch for the puzzle piece that she had slipped in. Violet eyes studied it for a long moment, before shrewdly scanning the crowd. Before long she saw a male: tall, dark haired, who seemed to be holding a matching puzzle. Making her way to him, Grace put on her most enticing smile. At the very least, he was easy on the eyes. “I do believe we are a match darling” she remarked, puzzle half in her pale, elegant hand.

1. Bathtub/Shower

Sometimes a girl just needed to treat herself to a bubble bath. Especially a girl who was on her feet for hours on end during the day and sometimes night. Qhuinn wasn’t really one for self-pampering, but that night she was putting her huge sunken tub to good use. A glass of wine was at her elbow, and Dave Matthews sang into her ear as she let Calgon take her away. As it seemed to be her usual luck though, that peace was short lived as she became aware of a large shadow looming over her. Cracking open a gray peeper, she gazed at the man. Abraham, if she remembered correctly. Qhuinn didn’t even bother asking how he got into her home, as he certainly wasn’t the first to pull this kind of ‘surprise!’ greeting on her. “Well?” she asked, tilting her head as she felt her body heat up just looking at him. “You just going to stand there or what?” She pulled out her earbuds as the man undressed, the welcomed Abraham with open arms when he joined her. Arms wound around his neck as their mouths fused, and Qhuinn let her body open to his as well. After all, there was more than one form of stress relief that could happen in a bathtub… 

Do you have a foot fetish, you creep? 

“I’ve to pretty full lips. I usually wear strawberry lip balm. And if you get to kiss me you should know it’s probably gonna happen more than once.”

“I don’t know, I’ve never fancied myself the marrying type. I’d have to be in love and it would have to be a courthouse wedding.” She snickered a bit smug. “You want me? You gotta earn me.” 

Walking along the beach, Sabrina giggled. She missed the simple pleasure of walking along the water, listening to the sounds of the waves at night. She paused, watching the water. Someone was out there. She walked a little closer, gasping when she saw the man. Perhaps she had enjoyed a few too many beers during the bonfire, but he didn’t look human. There was something other about him. Sabrina was drawn to him until she was staring up at him under the starlight. “You are so beautiful.” She pressed her lips against his before she could think of doing better. She just wanted to know what it was like to kiss someone so extraordinary.
