     genie had been absentmindedly stirring her drink as someone sat down next to her, causing a deep sigh to leave her. “look,” she began, not looking up, and her voice unusually quiet and raspy, “usually i’d be rather polite and happy to make conversation, but today is just not the day, alright?”

                     THOUGH SHE maintained a calm and cool demeanor when she boarded the ship, her stomach had been twisting itself in knots. kat had felt apprehensive of this trip, especially once she found out that it was going to take place at sea, which just so happened to be her least favourite place to be. the redhead took a tentative sip of her butterbeer, sitting on a chair far, far away from the railing. “yep. i’m totally enjoying this. fun, fun stuff,” the female said through gritted teeth, trying to convince herself. “being at sea, with the possibility of the ship sinking and i die before i complete many things. so fuckin’ fun.”

     “just a second!” elliot called out as he heard his classroom door open. his lessons were long past over for the day, and so he’d taken the time to start on a painting - he hadn’t been expecting anyone so he's hands, forearms, and one spot on his jaw were covered in paint, but he set down his brush and grabbed a rag, walking out into the open as he tried to remove the colors from his hands. “oh hey,” he spoke to the person who had entered, “what can i do for ya?”

     “do you realize how hard it is to cheer for a team that continues to   L O S E   year after year? the best years of my life are being WASTED. i have half a mind to march down to the headmaster’s office and DEMAND the hat check again because pippa carstairs does not belong in a house filled with losers!” 

    “...the only thing i intend on swinging is my FISTS if you don’t get out of my face.”

                “ALRIGHT, LISTEN,” grace began looking up from her planner as she finished jotting down an appointment a client made two weeks from that day. “if you want a tattoo, i’m more than happy to do it. i might be able to get you a discount too, but that depends on what kind of tattoo you want. so.. what are some ideas you have?”
