“   OI.  i’m  nineteen,  not  NINE.   ”  maia  immediately  stomped  her  foot,  arms  crossed  with  brows  furrowed  with  an  indignant  pout  on  her  lips.  oh  yes,  definitely  m a t u r e.  “   and  who  are  you  to  tell  me  what  to  do  ?  are  you  a  babysitter?   ”
Tumblr media
“Ah.” Archer looks her over once, just once, with this arch in his brow that’s used to abase her. He can’t exactly claim he holds her... – how would he say it – ...abrasive? ...unsophisticated? ...callow? Callow. He does not hold her callowness in high regard. He whips out his phone, pretends to shuffle through applicable information, and feigns a look of discovery. “Well, you see, your mama texted me to check in on you.” Eyes flicker up from the screen to her face. “Guess I am your babysitter, Girlie.” ... Unripe. This is the word he’d use to describe her. Immature and like an unripe fruit, she causes him pain, discomfort, and most of all: digestive issues.

eyes flicker to how his hands flatten and push on his shirt; and teeth move across her lip – maybe she was being a little too much. resolving to be a little kinder—– her head quirks up as he delves some more information to her, brows lifting in genuine curiosity.
“oh— architecture? then… agriculture?” something about it makes her laugh; especially his follow-up. “a farmer? in the middle of the city? i’d pay to see you in a pair of wellie boots….”
“ah— i don’t know if i’ve made it… i run my own brand online. i sew for some magazines. but no one knows my name…” she muses; lips pursing softly. arms cross on a small chest. “isn’t that making it?”
Archer offers a bit of a chuckle, “Well yeah. What’s not to love about it? The whole goal is to enhance a plant’s life, an animal’s life, your own life, and probably another individual’s. It’s a wholesome and well-rounded goal, if I do say so myself.” Wholesome? Well-rounded? Honestly, Archer thinks he’s just made these words up! He’s never heard of them! The inner corners of his brows tip upward, as if to challenge her remark. “Yeah? You’d pay? I can get behind supplying a wellie boot kink.”  Money talks, that’s the motto! ”I’m thinking making it would be the term?” Maybe failing would be better. Who works themselves up so much to not get recognized. Waste of time.  “Maybe you should do something controversial to get recognized.” Now we’re talking.

❛ dying is taking too long. ❜
Starter meme; always accepting... @smckingashes
Tumblr media
“How do you know?” If there were to be a passerby, this inquiry comes disembodied, or maybe it’s just the bush that’s talking. Yes, the two are hiding in a bush. “Because...like...what if you die tomorrow?” Eyebrow quirk. “Or what about within the next ten minutes? Then, dying is taking too – fast!” Okay, let’s backtrack. Why are they in a bush? Call it a game, or even it a sport if you will; they’re hiding while they wait for cars to zip down the road. Then, the object is to run in front of the car within moments of getting hit. So far, neither has, They’re not too shabby at timing it, actually. Makes you wonder if someone’s bound to get hurt though. It’s just for fun though folks! Nothing happens to the main characters, you all know that.

@mintaeart​ opened Success by Martin Amis
Caspian is no pro at these supposed sensitive topics, take homelessness or misfortune for example. However, he still believes he’s got a fairly level head on the matters. “Lots of people are plenty uglier and poorer than me without seeming to mind...”  ... without the self-hate and self-pity – the sentimentality, in a word – that makes Caspian such a quivering condom of neurosis and ineptitude. ”I guess I’m just a pansy since I got a roof over my head and three meals a day.” Because here stands, at a roughly estimated 175 centimeters, a hobo in the blonde’s presence. He’s pretty certain hobos prefer the term “no fixed address.”  There’s a light bulb above Caspian’s head at all times. It’s off though, that’s why you can never see it. But when it does flick to life, you can almost see the light – but only in his eyes. In this instance, this is the case, His eyes widen from their typical dull state, and there’s an “a-ha!” expression scribbled onto his features. ‘Hey, I can be of some help to you.”  “I live in this motel, right? They’ve got this thing where you can crash in one of their rooms for free so as long as you work for them. Does that sound like a gig you can get behind?”

jessicastrung:
there’s something inherently creepy about the way an eager youth leans over her short frame; bright eyes leering in at the glossy magazine she’d clutched to her chest. and maybe it was her fault the conversation had started in the first place – ! answering in english when he’d apologised in a flurry about a door slipping closed, nearly to crush her ;; conversation ensued, and a youth was nearly brimming on his toes before her.
but for jess – she couldn’t help but sense a flavor of something else in his smile…. 
“i studied dressmaking and tailoring—” she corrects; does it sound bitchy? she doesn’t mean it to be. but all too often, her tongue gets mistaken for being a  l i t t l e  too sharp. “the fashion came naturally…. what was it you studied in New York?” jessica asks, eyes trying to discern if she was just feeling weird or there was something about him that seemed off—
Maybe Archer needs to lay off a lil’, He can tell she’s clamming up; kind’a lame if you ask him. “Dressmaking and tailoring?” Same fucking thing. “My bad, I didn’t realize there were so many fashion-related fields.” Archer chuckles sheepishly, palming the crinkles in his tee in an attempt to flatten them.  “Oh! I at first was studying architecture, but realized it wasn’t precisely my passion. After a couple Earth science programs, I realized I wanted to work with agriculture.” He pauses, then tapping his lips with his index finger he mumbles, “Haven’t quite landed a dope agricultural career yet... ...How about you though, where do you work? Have you made it yet?” This information discerns his next course of action. Oh? And some food for thought? His education doesn’t excel high school.

@vulphobia​ opened Hello Kitty Must Die by Angela S Choi
“Bundy was right. All you have to do is comb your hair and wear a suit and you can be one crazy motherfucker. And get away with it.” Ironic, actually. Archer’s snide remark is a jab at Jude’s typically composed outer demeanor. The irony is here: the suit in mention is their bathing suit.  I’ll tell you what though, Archer and Caspian ain’t looking so hot themselves. They’ve got those neon orange towels draped around their necks, both boys have got those sweaty mops they call hair pushed back and out of their faces. Cheeks, noses, shoulders all flushed with red. Oh, but it doesn’t stop there folks! Caspian has a glittery beach ball tucked beneath his arm, Archer cups a magenta-hued margarita in his left palm. There’s even su---uch a cute lemon wedge hanging onto the sugary rim of the glass for dear life. Archer momentarily considers the bliss of some lemon to Jude-eye contact. Caspian’s gaze flickers from the pool to Jude, to the pool, to a random girl’s ass, to Jude, to the pool. To his brother. Caspian side steps away from the edge of the pool. Smart thinking, Caspian! ”So what the fuck are you doing here?” This comes from none other than Archer.

@jessicastrung opened Beat the Reaper, by Josh Bazell
You know that feeling where you're not sure whether you're being hustled or in the presence of an actual human being? Archer loves that feeling. That feeling of uncertainty and doubt, almost dangerous but o---oh so alluring. In this case, it’s the astonishing amount of similarities the two share. One of them might as well be lying! But for what? There’s nothing to gain. They’re both from California, true. They both appreciate plants, check. They both moved to Korea to pursue careers... not so true. Archer claims this just to save face. Okay, now they’re discussing how she studied in New York. “Oh! My! God!” Archer’s mouth pops open and he’s slapping a palm to his chest. Bogus bewilderment. “Me too!” Now his mouth is writing checks his ass can’t cash. What’s new? He peers down at her vogue magazine. “Let me guess,” he gleams with an artificial sort of light. “You studied fashion?” 
What chick doesn’t!

     “— what ??” he hasn’t eaten all day, sue him for deciding the shrimp pasta on his plate was more of a priority than what the other has been talking about. “wait, no, no, i was definitely paying attention. keep talking.” his gaze wanders down to the meal and parker’s mind is already elsewhere.
Well. Fucking. Shit.
Why was Caspian the designated walking advertisement? This is what being buddy-buddy with a motel manager get’cha. A small favor, they said. Just go spread the word about Motel Marmalade, they said.
And now Caspian is doing just that. Gaudy rainbow uniform buttoned up to his throat, he wraps a long, bony finger around the collar of his work shirt, pulls it away. He’s seen it in a movie, it’s supposed to alleviate stress in some spiritual sort of ritual, he believes.
“Well–“ he begins again. “It’s like a selfie hot spot. It’s super colorful, like real dope.”
Caspian manages a (possibly) welcoming smile. Smiles don’t usually look good on him.
“Jump in the pool, enjoy the bar, admire the beach theme…” he trails off, putting a flier on the table. Then, he slides it toward the stranger for easier viewing.
Caspian prides himself in two things! (Yes, folks. Only two things.)
1. Knowing that people enjoying a meal in the outside seating section of a cafe/restaurant are the best victims. Can’t just jump up and escape.
2. They won’t jump up anyway because he’s foreign! At least, not usually. Typically the locals are hanging on to the belief you’ve got something oh so interesting to dish out. This isn’t true, majority of the time.
Tumblr media
“So… are you free after this? It’s not far from here, come back to the motel with me!”
No. 
I know what it sounds like.
