fortune favors the brave

"damn, i sure as hell hope so." floyd didn't hate providence peak. in fact, some of the best friends he'd ever had he'd met there and he couldn't imagine leaving them behind but it would be nice if the place had more to get into, if he were being honest. the moment they made it to floyd's place, he slid out of the uber and let the other inside. it was small, mostly a fixer upper, but it was his. he didn't work on it the way he should but what was the point when it was just him at his place most of the time anyways? "my laundry closet. damn, ty. what do you have in mind?" he certainly wasn't going to fight her on it though, especially if it was going to be worth looking at.

"We'll find some shit," Ty asserted, confident that they could at least stumble into something worthwhile. Whether it was a bigger city with a killer night club or some dusty old town with a badass biker bar, Ty could usually find somewhere that she could vibe with. Though that was less and less the case as she grew older and grumpier, she still had her flashes of being the life of the party when she got enough alcohol in her. Barging her way out of the Uber with a vague nod of thanks to the driver, Ty followed Floyd inside and shot him a bemused grin. "Stupid party tricks. There's stuff you can toss in the fire, make it change colors and spark and stuff." It wasn't anything overly fancy, but it looked cool as hell in the moment that it flared up and it was fun to throw stuff in a fire anyway.

After the first game that her team had won, Ty was camped out in the bleachers waiting for the next round of the bracket. She was stretched out the best she could given the crowds, baseball cap set backwards on her head as she relaxed. Having found the one spot in the stands that had some breathing room to it, she'd been pretty content, but all of that was quickly ruined when another person came and settled into the seat at her side. A loud groan of annoyance came out, made more dramatic because of who it was. "My bad, I'll send you some smoke signals as a warning next time," she grumbled back with a roll of her eyes. The distaste for her ex's best friend was barely concealed as she did her best to scoot in the other direction. "She's not here, is she?" They both knew who Ty was talking about and if it were the case that Remi was lurking around, Ty might have to reconsider being there at all.

"Winning is fun." Jessica agreed, corner of their lips tugging up into a smile as they finished putting on the wristband and checking the time, wanting to make the best use of the two hours of free rides that they had. "I think all the lines are going to be medium length at least. But..." The tall redhead rolled up onto the balls of her feet, peering over the top of most people's heads as she checked out both the lines. "The rollercoaster line looks mildly less long?" She offered, though it was sort of hard to tell which one was actually moving quicker. @tysingh

Medium length lines still sounded entirely too long and Ty glanced around to locate a snack to bring into the line just in case. "We might be able to just, go to the front of the line," she suggested with a shrug before motioning for Jessica to follow as she headed towards the nearest food booth. "Rollercoaster sounds good, though. Food first. Do you want anything?" Tyler supposed she was offering to get something for Jessica, despite her typically less than generous nature. She'd just have to blame it on her rattled brain from her recent fight. Bouncing on her toes as they got into the snack line, Ty was already impatient and this line wasn't even close to as long as the rides were. "Is it busy like this all the time here? I don't usually do shit like this."

"I've got to agree with you there. Baseball is overhyped. I'm a soccer guy myself, but football is fun to watch. Hockey is fine I guess, but not one I'd pick willingly to watch." He would watch a game if it was on and others were watching it, but he definitely wouldn't stop whatever he was doing to watch the game like he'd do with a soccer game or a big football one. "You don't know your team? Dang, Ty, prepare to throw some hands then."

"Entirely overhyped," she agreed, having never understood why anyone would want to sit and watch an entire baseball game. Soccer she could sort of get, but even that grew a bit boring for her. "Do you follow any teams in particular?" Sports was one topic that Tyler could sit back and actually have a conversation about, a rare thing in her world. Her nose wrinkled, hoping that the team she'd been placed with would have at least enough skill to not drag her down completely. "Nah, I don't know people like that. I'm just here for the kids. Or whatever this is for. It's a charity thing, right?" That's what her manager had told her when she'd signed Ty up for it and giving her time for things like this was something Ty usually didn't complain about. The fact that it was a competition had been an easy sell.

At the poor excuse of a reasoning, Thea took a sip of the wine, daring Ty to say anything otherwise. "Bigger and better things, I see. Funny since pretty sure I never wanted you in my life." She countered with a small eye roll not understanding even what the other's beef was with her at this point. "I very much deserve a drink especially since now that I have to be around you. What are you even doing? Just lurking trying to find someone to annoy?" Thea asked with a gesture of her hand towards Tyler's direction as if it really meant anything. There was just something about the other that irked the shit out of her.

No matter how often Thea said it, Tyler would never actually believe it. In the world that Tyler lived in, everyone wanted her around. The people that said differently were just lying to themselves. "Now we both know that's just not true, you love having me around," she corrected with a wave of her hand with all the confidence of a delusional idiot. Ty held up her own drink cup as an explanation, though it was already regrettably empty. "Came for the free samples. They never put enough in the cup," she added, brows furrowing as she said it. Sure, it was just meant to be a tasting sample, but a full cup would have been just as easy to pour she thought.

"Aww Jerry! You should at least share," she yelled towards the llama that was dashing away with the pretzel they snatched from the person nearby. Asher had recognized the animal from a visit to the farm with Maggie over the summer. That beast was wily and knew how to work the crowd to his favor. She'd been a witness to it before and she was a witness to it again. "He has a knack for such actions. They really should put a sign around his neck to beware." Looking for the llama, she could see him situated and munching on the snack. "At least it means you'll have more room for dinner. I heard the food trucks were pretty solid."

A llama wasn't the animal Tyler would have ever expected needed a warning sign, but the other woman was right. Any animal that would come up and so blatantly thieve her snack away from her deserved at least a fair warning. "What a dick," she huffed out, shooting a withering look towards the llama as he trotted away and made himself comfortable, her snack gone within moments. "They trust that fuckin' thing around kids, really?" If he couldn't be trusted around snacks, how could it possibly be safe to keep around children. Dinner at least always sounded good and Ty gave a morose nod of agreement. "Any one in particular that was the best?"

"I guess it's a little fancy," Ty shrugged. Her boat was one thing she'd let herself go crazy with when it came to spending money, a purchase she'd yet to regret. It was something she'd had for long enough now that she often forgot it was something most people could never have. "You don't know how to swim?" she asked, brow lifting a bit in surprise. "Did you just never learn or like are you just bad at it?" Ty had learned to swim young, the community pool one of the easy, free places to hang out.

Tyler didn't know how she'd gotten stuck in line with Carmen, but as soon as the woman started telling her personal story, Tyler's eyes were clearly starting to glaze over. She kind of knew Carmen from walking the dogs around the neighborhood and had probably gotten snippy with the woman on multiple occasions over stupid things. Ty had made a point not to get too friendly with any neighbors, already opposed to the fact that they were close enough to her home to know that she lived there at all. "What the fuck is an apricot?" she asked once Carmen finished talking, pretty sure she'd never heard of the thing before in her entire life.

Truth be told, he didn't think Tyler would be a baseball gal. But thinking about it, she was a competitive person and who could deny a good competition when charity was at stake? "Maybe baseball was your new-found hobby? How would I know?" He teased lightly, reaching out for his water bottle to take a sip. When she mentioned that her game was up next, he nodded slowly with a grin. "You'd better hope it's the one up next and not the one after it. Otherwise you'd have been up against us and you wouldn't have stood a chance."

"Oh, no shot. Too boring. Lamest team sport to watch. I'll take football all day. Or hockey. I don't hate hockey," she shrugged. While her main sport that she followed was, of course, MMA and any other combat sport, she was a die hard sports fan in general and could often be found at a sports bar watching games any time one of her teams was playing. "Get the fuck out, you'd get your ass creamed by my team. I think. I haven't actually met them yet, but I assume they're good or I'll have to throw some hands."

"You won't have to wait long, I'll be cruising to the finish line before you know it," she promised, not for a moment considering any other outcome. Ty had done well in the race in previous years and even if she had a somewhat less skilled partner, she had enough faith in herself that she didn't see anyone else taking the win. Her head bobbed, kind of getting not being a water person, at least when it came to the lake. "Lake water is kind of fucking gross, so that's fair. I like the ocean alright, though, I go yachting a lot." She had a boat on the dock in her backyard for the lake too, though that was far less exciting to take out.

The absolute last thing that Tyler needed to be doing after having her head knocked around in a fight was to make it worse by throwing herself on a ride. But, she also didn't have the common sense to piece that together and found herself bouncing on her feet excitedly at the prospect. "Bumper cars are more competitive, you can win at that. But, rollercoaster is bigger. Both are good." Ty didn't do rides like this often, as it usually ended with a massive headache that left her grouchy for days, but she liked them otherwise. "Which line is shorter and how do we just...not wait in the line?"

If there was anything Ty loved in life it was people cheering for her. She had a lot of it in her career, but even in the stupid small things like this, that kind of attention always boosted her ego. "Hell yeah. Might as well cheer for the eventual winner," Tyler agreed with a slight swagger in her shoulders as she said it. Ty didn't know yet who she was being paired with for it and perhaps would have lost all that confidence if she knew what was coming, but at least in the moment she didn't doubt for a second that she'd take the win. "Did you come to watch anyone specific?"

Having parted ways with Ingrid, she had found herself back at the wine booth, feeling like she needed another round before heading home. She had liked pretty much all of them but there was one in particular that she wanted to see if she could get just a full cup of that rather than the tester cups. Once she had gotten what she wanted, she stepped away from the booth a bit and was lifting the cup to her lips when she heard a scoff coming from a familiar pain in Thea's side. "Hello Tyler, it's been awhile since you've darkened my doorstep. Why should I not drink this?" She asked as she raised a brow, waiting for the bullshit response the nuisance of a woman would give her.

Now that Thea mentioned it, it really had been quite awhile since Tyler had shown up to bother the woman. It was something she made a mental note to correct even if she wouldn't actually remember to follow through with it. "What can I say, I've moved on to bigger and better things. Haven't needed you in my life," she replied with a long, dramatic shrug. Her face wrinkled together in thought after that, having not actually come up with any reason to give. "Uh, obviously you shouldn't drink it because....you know. Because." Sometimes Tyler regretted just how few brain cells she had, especially in moments like this where a bit of cleverness might have come in handy. "Because you don't deserve it."

While team sports as a whole weren't usually Ty's thing, baseball was one that she didn't mind being a part of. It hadn't been her choice to sign up to be a part of it, but her manager was always finding new ways to get her involved with charity work to make her look good. At least for something like this the competitive side had her marginally more excited to be there. Her bag with gear was slung over her shoulder as she walked through the stands to find a spot to chill until her game, stopping near Elliot to take a seat. "C'mon, dude, do I seem like the kind of person that would willingly come watch an amateur hour game? I play in a bit, I think my game is up next. You here to cheer me on?"
