Denial

No... Nonono, this can't... M-m-maybe it's still savable? F-five second rule, right? N-no... No, it looks pretty far gone...

Anger

UUUUARGH, who?! Who murdered my sandwich!? How DARE they, I was SOOOoooo looking forward to eating it! How... AaAARRGH!!

Bargaining

AAAaah, ugh ...

Oh...

So that's how it's going to be, huh?

The look Marcy gave Rita was not unlike that of a clerk dealing with a particularly rude customer: Outwardly pleasant, yet brimming with malicious intent.

Bag partway shrugged off her shoulders, she gripped the strap tightly before tossing it aside, eyes ...

Florida stood there aghast, unable to fathom how her day could've unravelled so dramatically within the blink of an eye.

((Florida Riley continued from I like it, another! ))

One moment she was walking along, humming a tune as she so often did whilst preparing to take a bite out of her lunch. The ...

"Ooh, you know how it I- iiaaAH!! "

Marcy really should've seen it coming, given how long she's known Rita. Her body stiffened as the other girl's arms clamped around her, squirming like a stag beetle caught in a rival's pincers. Eyes glaring, smile faltering, teeth clenched tightly as she tried to ...

((Marcy Valerio continued from The Real Skyline Heights ))

Ooh... Marcy was mad .

Why was Marcy mad? Who knows, it didn't really matter. Literally, it was almost guaranteed to be a nothingburger issue that she blew out of proportion and refused to let go.

Well, at least the dance studio was free ...

Johnny blinked, standing there for a moment as he considered Charlie Girl's offer, before shrugging his shoulders and reaching for the guitar. As his daddy once said to him: When a girl asks you to play for her, you sit your ass down and strum like your life depends on it.

"Oh totally, yeah..." he ...

Koa brightened up considerably after that, a look bordering on excitement flashing across his eyes.

Yeah! YEAH! He was gonna rock it this year! After all, his stint as Demalo Black last year worked out pretty well. Okay sure, most folk just assumed he was going as Regular Luffy instead of Fake ...

Marcy grinned, dark eyes gazing deeply into those vivid green orbs as her arms coiled around Finn's shoulders.

"Mmm, I dunnooo... It's worked out pretty well in my favour so far~" she teased, with a playful wink.

A chill ran down her spine as she stood there, embraced atop that rooftop with her ...

A relieved look flashed across Koa's face when Ray chimed in, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

It was nice to see a friendly face turn up... Well, friendl ier . He and Ray weren't exactly super tight, their respective tastes divulging pretty dramatically. Koa recalled ...

The glimmer of disgust in Hunter's eyes was... Eeh, not entirely unexpected.

Blackbeard wasn't exactly your typical anime prettyboy, for sure. He was a ugly son of a gun pirate with a big belly and terrible dental hygiene.

But like... Honestly, that was kinda why Koa loved him so much. In a medium ...

In that moment - Marcy leaning over the edge, her life literally in her boyfriend's hands - she felt a rush unlike anything she'd ever experienced.

There wasn't a single substance known to man that could match this feeling. More euphoric than heroin, more intense than cocain, more terrifying than ...

((Florida Rider eventually excuses herself and similarly slinks away quietly))

Marcy blinked, her brow rising.

"Did... Did you just...?" she snickered, stifling a laugh with an amused grin.

Truth be told, she'd been angling for Finn to lean into the danger angle a little. Play up his bad boy image, emphasise just how risky it was to get close to a guy like him. As such his ...

"HMm, figures..." replied Marcy, nonchalantly plopping the candy into her mouth.

With a slight tilt of her head, she idly observed her boyfriend as he paced back and forth along the ledge, teetering just a little too close for comfort. Of all the men in her life, she couldn't think of anyone else ...

Marcy snickered, staring up at the sky to do a bit of cloud gazing as she rolled the candy around in her mouth.

She knew what he meant - from up here, it really hit you just how condensed Vegas was. You had the glitz and glamour of the strip all congregated in one spot, whilst the rest of the city ...
