Tylor had had a really fun time at the Valentine's ball with Monty. They were so excited that they'd gotten the confidence to ask to see him again. They sat nervously waiting at the spot they were meeting. They looked up to see him coming and grinned, waving him over.

who: @montyrichler when/where: homecoming, early in the night

Nate nodded in greeting at Monty, his chin lifting up as he saw the other scholarship student. He hadn't seen him yet this year, the past two weeks having been...busy - he had been fighting more, the faintest shading of a bruise visible under his scruff for anyone who looked closely. But realistically, it was probably mostly because he had a handful of things that had made the trip to campus with him after being leftover from the summer, so he hadn't had to seek out Monty yet. "Like the hair, mate," he said, genuine in his compliment of the long hair. "Good summer?"

who: @montyrichler when: after the first tennis practice back where: tennis courts ofc

The curl to Sassa’s lips was positively wicked as she approached the bench where she had discarded her bag before practice, Monty - in his new position as team equipment manager - sitting next to it. "Decided to fill out your resume a bit?" she said, her chin tucking downward slightly, all the better to flutter her eyelashes at Monty in an attempt at innocence, despite the stark contrast with the amusement of her smirk. She took one of her towels - a crisp white one, as Sassa kept everything for her tennis (she was a traditionalist, at least in that sense) - to use for her sweat, watching Monty with an inscrutable look as she dabbed it at her hairline. It was mostly facetious, though she was sweating - she had not practiced as much as she should've over the summer - Sassa drawing it down her neck and over her collarbones next, before she got to the crux of this entire performance, the now damp towel held out towards Monty. "How lucky for us," she said, motioning to the court, as if gesturing to the team.

who: @montyrichler when: evening, jacqui's birthday where: on the way to hex nightclub

Jacqui's arm linked through Monty's, their elbows locked together as their hand held onto his bicep, determined to keep him from slipping away - perhaps not entirely necessary, but Jacqui wasn't taking any chances. It was their birthday, after all, so it was safe to assume that Ollie would be showing up at some point, and considering the break up....they didn't want either of them running off. It was their birthday, so whatever conflict there was between them could be ignored for one night.

That wasn't too much to ask, was it?

As if to preface that, Jacqui leaned against Monty even more, tipping their head against his shoulder as they got into the line outside of the club, grinning up at him. "Thanks for coming out with me," they said, giving his arm another small squeeze.

who: @montyrichler​    where: tri delta valentine’s party    when: during spin the bottle   

Mari stopped paying attention when Monty spun the bottle - there was no way that the universe could be that cruel to her. So it took a moment for it to register that that was exactly what happened, Mari looking towards the center of the circle when the friend she was next to nudge her, a small noise of protest lodging itself in her throat. “Please, you totally should get a re-spins if it lands on an ex,” she said, waving her hand in dismissal, figuring everyone could get on board with that. Well, judging from people’s reactions, that was not the case - they’d be on board when it was their turn, Mari was sure, but someone else? Just an opportune moment for some drama to happen, which was what everyone was angling for. 

Realizing that she was not going to get out of this, people starting to heckle her as she still didn’t get up, Mari, a sour expression on her face, unfolded her long legs from underneath her to push herself to her feet, stalking over to the door and swinging it open with a bang - the sooner they got in there, the sooner they would be done. “Don’t get any ideas,” she grumbled to Monty over her shoulder, her glare clear enough that she blamed him for this.

A face had caught Vanellope's attention across the room. She wove through the crowd, holding her dress so she wouldn't trip over it, her boots knocking against the floor.

The evening had been glorious so far, a fairytale, and Vanellope was soaking up every second she could. It was rare for her to dress up like this, to be in a crowd, to be looked at. It felt... well, good. Some part of her heart loved the attention, the stares. It was intoxicating in a way that freely flowing champagne only enhanced.

She found herself behind the person who'd caught her attention. She reached out and tapped them on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but do I know you?" She asked.

[cara-mrrsn]

who: @montyrichler when: may 27th, early in the evening where: the commencement gala

When Cara saw Monty, she flounced over towards him, a smirk starting to spread on her lips. It went without saying that Cara was having an overwhelming urge to....act out. Her parents were there, doting on Eddie, playing the concerned family with the missing, beloved daughter, accepting sympathy from everyone who came within a ten foot radius, and all in all, making Cara feel like the unwanted daughter, the least favorite child, the one they would've preferred was missing.

So naturally, she would make them wish that she was the fucking one missing.

And who else better to help with that than the resident dealer?

Cara winked at him while she was approaching, aware of eyes on her as she moved through the space. When wasn't she, though? It was just worse, now, all the parents and alum having undoubtably having heard plenty about Greer - and Cara, by extension. "You behaving tonight?" she said, her voice nearly a purr as she reached Monty, running a hand over his shoulders as she circled him until she could prop her chin on his shoulder from behind, batting her lashes over at him. "Or you wanna cause a scene?"

who: @montyrichler​ when: during greer’s bday, after coco’s dare

A towel slung around his hips, Court was still covered in goosebumps, despite having come inside and dried off several minutes ago. He supposed diving into the lake this time of year was stupid, but...it’s not like he had a choice. And honestly, there were so many benefits to submerging in cold water he was just trying to...go with it. But it had sobered him up slightly, much to his irritation. Coco had quickly gotten himself another drink, slipping back through the crowd - maybe looking for Ollie, for a little something something else. Maybe just looking for a distraction to get him back in the party mood. He couldn’t quite tell himself. 

But the first thing he found was Monty, the familiar face causing him to light up, practically bouncing over to the other sophomore to greet him. “Hey bud!” Court said enthusiastically, clapping a hand onto his shoulder, eyes settling onto the fanny pack with a slightly perplexed expression before he let out a little laugh. “Cute,” he cooed. “And I’m assuming ironic?”

who: @montyrichler​   when: the weekend before classes start again    where: some party or another  

Lucia did not enjoy when people didn’t like her - and Monty constantly pretended that he didn’t (she simply refused to believe it was real, actual dislike). Half the time he refused to deal to her, leaving Lucia left to jump through hoops to either get things from him, or get other people to get them for her. A hassle, honestly. But it was a new year, and she was determined to put all that in the past and get Monty under her thumb like she usually was able to. This party was the perfect start, Lucia weaving through the crowd unhurriedly until she reached him, eyes not moving from his face as she got to his side. “Monty,” she cooed in greeting, one arm snaking around his shoulders to give him a hug. “If I told you I needed a little top up...” she murmured into his ear, pulling back and tapping one finger against her nose, as if he wasn’t well aware what she was looking for. “Would you be able to oblige?” she continued, pouting out her lower lip.

"hey, let's partner up for the drills," monty called out to dylan as they skated over, helmet pinched under their arm. the passing back and forth with their less dominant hand seemed easy enough and monty liked to change up who he partnered with day to day. "which one's your bad side?"

Listen, getting the Cat King's voice right while maintaining a character arc is a tricky balancing act when writing this Season 2 AU series. He's such a fascinating character with a trickster core that I don't usually write and I'm pretty sure I've got a grasp on his voice/dynamic with Edwin (the two of them basically being locked in a back-and-forth deals-disguised-as-flirting while being strangely sweet and playful in the midst of their Hades/Persephone deal) but his growing dynamic with Monty is where things are getting interesting. Playing around with the "cat and the bird/predator-prey/Monty's unexpected ability to surprise the Cat King but being unaware of said fact" concept has led to so many small twists/compelling threads in the narrative and I am having so much fun making it work.

@coreofgold

Tylor had never dated. They'd never thought they'd want to honestly. But they were way too curious about this blind dating thing, so having a moment of courage, they'd signed up. Now here they were, face to face with Monty and extremely nervous. They took a deep breath, wanting badly to make a good impression. "Hello. It's nice to meet you. I am eager to get to know you better."

who: @montyrichler​ where: somewhere in the cemetery bc why not  when: sometimes during the week

The invitation to go and smoke from Monty had been a slightly surprising, though not unwelcome one. It’s not that Nate didn’t like him, but rather, they weren’t exactly...close. They got along, sure, but they more were acquaintances than friends. Granted, that’s the distance Nate had started keeping most people, regardless of if he liked them or not. But ultimately - someone offering up their weed won out over all of that. Which is why he was currently sitting with Monty in the cemetery, passing a joint back and forth between them. 

Nate was mostly content to sit in silence, never one to fill it with pointless babble, but he still found himself glancing towards Monty, a crease appearing between his eyebrows. “What do you make of all this....bullshit?” he asked, not specifying what he meant - it could be anything from Greer, to everything surrounding her missing, to just Ogden in general. He wasn’t even quite sure what he was getting at, but asking the scholarship student sitting with him was far safer than asking most of their peers.

Sassa frowned slightly when her eyes met Monty's as he approached her in the Pike kitchen, mid attempt of acquiring a drink, a hint of a furrow appearing in her brow that was quickly smoothed away into a teasing smirk. "You know our first match is next Sunday, right?" she said in a lilting voice, leaning forward to rest her elbows against the counter between them - strategically enhancing her cleavage in a way that looked utterly accidental as she did so was just a perk. All though her first reaction may not have been one of joy, the more she thought about it, the happier she was to see Monty - his...extracurriculars could come in handy for such a night, in multiple senses. "I'd've thought you'd be wanting to make sure you have everything in order instead of at a frat party," she said, teasing (sorta) him, even as her mind started running through possible plans to get him (and his phone) somewhere secluded.

who: @montyrichler when/where: during the carnival

Jacqui hated conflict. Even when it didn't technically involve them, it actively was unbearable for them. So knowing what had gone down between Ollie and Monty - or, well, Ollie's side of it - made Jacqui squirm when they spotted Monty, even though they had no problem with him. The opposite! They loved Monty! But just being aware of what had been going on was enough to make them uncomfortable. Would the fight extend to Jacqui? Was Monty mad at them? Surely he knew that they weren't taking sides. Jacqui was friends with both of them, regardless of what happened (though if anyone asked her, she would be willing to bet money it wouldn't be long until they made up). She would stay friends with them both!

Pushing past the squirming, Jacqui sidled in next to Monty at the booth he was currently at, tipping their head so it was resting against their shoulder. "Hi stranger," they said, grinning up at him. "How was your spring break? And don't lie, I know the actual answer is not nearly as fun as it would've been if you had come out to California with us."

Funny, how Mari seemed to seek out Monty more now that they were broken up than she ever had last year. He could always be counted on to be hovering at some point, appearing at her side when she least wanted him to, but now she was the one who was showing up uninvited at his door. 

Pathetic, honestly. 

Her arms crossed in front of her, hands clutching her opposite elbows as she waited for him to answer, not even bothering to order him a smile when the door finally swung open. “You up to anything?” she asked, cocking her head to one side, eyebrows raising as she waited for an invitation in - not that it would stop her from barging in if he didn’t give it.
