So, sure, maybe she’d messed up. Maybe she’d forgotten she’d promised Rei that she’d bake a gingerbread house over the weekend, for the Kahi’s autumn decorations. Maybe now she only had, like, a few hours to produce an entirely decorated gingerbread house. So, maybe she’d dragged Kai into the whole mess in the hopes that they’d be helpful.

Tom loved his walk home from work. The fresh air, the ache in his feet, that feeling that he’d done well - or, at least, not too badly. And if he walked slowly, he got to spend less time at home! With his hands stuffed deep into the pockets of his greatcoat, he hummed tunelessly and shook his head, wet hair stuck to his forehead.

“Excuse me, is this your dog?”

Ah. This was unexpected. Esmé had come in to get a quick drink and say hi to Flo before her shift started, and instead, she was face to face with someone she did not recognise. How long had they worked here? She was sure Flo was the solo barista here. Huh. Never mind, as long as they could make a good cuppa joe, am I right?

“Uh...large black americano please! Extra shot if you can. I’ve got a busy day at work ahead!”

September 7th, 1988

Ah, yet another beautiful day in New York! Today marks the 15th year of my return to this beautiful city, and goodness, I’m having such fun! In many ways, it is similar to London, but it’s also quite different. I miss London’s gorgeous architecture and grey skies, but I adore the nostalgia I’ve been feeling since I moved back here— all these buildings that are now some of the hottest tourist spots, I remember them being constructed. 

Living is very good right now. On instinct, I took all of my money right before the crash of ‘87 and I am still reaping the benefits.. I am relaxing for now, watching my money grow and taking time to expand my social circle ever further. This is the life— I wake up and breeze through my morning routine— then it’s shopping, entertainment, fine dining, drinking, flirting, drinking again.. the best part about living here has to be that I have absolutely no time for boredom!

My love of gaiety and good wine is taken care of quite nicely here. I can’t see myself leaving any time soon, but all the same, I simply must return to my old love: Paris— oh, or perhaps lovely Venezia.. oh well, I shan’t trouble myself over it. After all, I’ve all the time in the world to travel to such places. 

🍗: Are your sleeping and eating patterns well-established or irregular? Do you wish to change that?

both are super irregular bc of her #ghost issues! she doesnt need to eat but enjoys the sensation, the habit and the experience (taste etc yknow). but she... yknow cant digest so she has to hold it inside her corporeal form then dispose of it once she wants to ghost out. nasty times. so she doesnt really eat regular big meals its more snacking unless like. idk kai invited her specifically for lunch and she didnt want to look weird or smth

🍹: Dream vacation? What makes it so appealing to you?

⌚- keeping track of time
