i would like to send some love on over to @lightning-arias! they've got an amazing roster of muses and it's always a blast writing with them!

@lightning-arias / Ye-Jun: "Why is the music already this loud?"

Shit.

I had been so focused on the drinks that I hadn't noticed how loud the music was. My neighbors are going to hate me; forced to listen to Carol's old med school playlist through the walls, the one with all the rock and EDM mixed together that she'd made just for us.

I miss her. She'd know what to do about this whole situation.

Finding out that the straight friend you've been crushing on isn't actually straight is bizarre, for lack of a better word, and especially one year into the friendship. I spent that entire year hanging out with Ye-Jun believing he was off-limits, only to learn from the same girl who introduced us that it wasn't true and, to make things worse, that she had actually been trying to set us up that night.

Safe to say I’m feeling pretty stupid, and not knowing how to handle it, I’ve been drinking the mixed drinks I had planned to share with him when he arrived—both my share and his. Now I’m pretty drunk and running out of alcohol, but club drinks are so expensive anyway, so maybe it’s a good thing that I'm getting all my liquid courage at home for however tonight goes.

"Sorry, sorry!"

I apologize, laughing as I stumble over to the stereo, leaving the door open for him to come in. I turn it down to at least half, my head spinning a little.

Sometimes it's good to have another perspective while dealing with some of the shenanigans they have to visit. It had been a time just trying to navigate this whole together, when honestly Z had been prepared to leave a while ago.

It's not like this was hosted by a dear friend or anything. They mostly showed up as a favor for a good friend who they did at least have a chance to catch up with before turning their attention to Elva.

And they are following where she is pointing to get a good look.

"Sounds like a lovely view. What a great little dog there.." Following the other locations, Z nods in understanding.

"Guess there's always time for the potential for conflict at least.."

Asked about the party, Z shrugs.

Of course she can fly. Of course.

thrownsoul said: trust me, please.

Blixt watches the other for a moment, tensed from where she's shoved herself perched into a shelf in a corner where they're both hiding. She doesn't have any real reason not to trust the other hero, she knows that. But still. It's hard to trust. Nevertheless.... She knew she had to. Otherwise they're both going to make a bigger mess of this. "Alright. Alright. Fine. I'll trust you," they whisper back, "what's the plan or do I just... Follow your lead?"

Her shoulders relax. Alice never knows how to dial down her intensity, in the moment before someone makes a decision about her. She can help. She wants to get them out of this, and she can. She knows this, and she knows that's not always enough.

Still holding eye contact, Alice smiles briefly, in spite of the situation, and nods. "Thanks."

Khaji Ren has been working on an escape route. They prefer to fight than run, but they weren't expecting someone else to get caught up in it. They're in over their heads.
