Where: Washington Park Arboretum 

Jackie loved it whenever it started to warm up outside, the sun shining a little brighter, the flowers starting to bloom and more people out and about. It gave her a little more pep in her step, it even gave her more motivation to get out an walk around. She was finally getting a chance to really enjoy Seattle and all the sights so what better than a walk around the park? After awhile though she needed a break, she headed towards a bench that was already occupied by one person. “Is it okay if I take a seat?” She asked with a friendly smile, “It really is beautiful out here isn’t it?”

Status: Open to anyone! Robbie’s had a revamp!

Truth be told Robbie disliked dating apps. He didn't like how up and down interactions were. He didn't like the blatant objectification necessary to exist on the apps. He'd tried just about all of them and nothing beyond superficial hook ups filled his inboxes. With a press of some buttons his profile was deleted and Robbie felt a sense of freedom. "Dating apps are a mistake." He sighed and shook his head.

Who: open to all @seattlehqs-starters​

Aksel was in a suit. He hated suits unless they were brightly coloured or had a gothic appeal to them Today it was a simple, grey, slightly over sized, suit. He looked like he had just fallen out of law school. The truth was he had been at meetings all morning with his team. The management and agent had been present along with his P.R team when he told them that he and Matt were looking into adopting. They had all sat and talked then when the meeting ended, Aksel was left with a lot to think about. 

Instead of heading home, he was in desperate need of coffee. strong coffee to clear his head. He walked into Starbucks and waited in the queue and saw someone he knew. “ Hey how's things?” He asked with a friendly smile then looked down at the suit he was wearing. “ I know... this is an awful suit.”

who: open where: grocery store

There’s that saying to dance like nobody’s watching which is something Matt lives by. It doesn’t matter if he’s at home, in the car, goofing around at the station. Hell, even the occasional grocery aisle you’ll find him jamming out to whatever tune they’ve got playing at the store. It makes his day that much better. Which is exactly what he’s doing right now. While holding two boxes of cereal he tried to decide if he should go for the boring grown up blahness that’ll be better on the waistline or something a eight-year old him would beg his parents to buy. Sucks they don’t come with actual prizes in the box because he so would love a mood ring. Dancing a little on his feet and singing a made up tune to go along with the If I Can Turn Back Time song, he looked to the person next to him and asked, “When did they stop putting actual toys in cereal? You get these chances to win but no actual prize inside. It’s like people don’t believe in fun anymore.”

Location: Library, coffee shop, Bre’s house etc...

"Why are numbers the way that they are?" Breanne sighed. She closed her chemistry book quite frustrated with it. Her social life had taken a hit with all the tests coming up. She hadn't seen much outside of her classes, her house, or work in a while because of said tight scheduling. "This makes my brain hurt." She rubbed her forehead. "If I have to look at anymore notes I think I might actually turn into dirt and blow away in the wind." 

Get some new material had been the urging of her agent and there was only so much that someone could do in Seattle ‘on a budget. Seattle was now considered one of the most expensive cities in the US and there wasn’t a whole lot someone could do. Her best bet was a little investigative journalism. 

“Hey, excuse me. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions? I promise I’m not weird, it’ll only take a few minutes,” she asked the nearest person on the street.
