Midsummer Festival - The Beach, Saturday Evening

Sure it was a week late. And sure it wasn't even a traditional Midsummer festival because there weren't any games or people selling fried foods or screaming eyeballs in the sky.

But Magnus was pretty darn proud of what had been tossed together for a fun costume party on the beach.

With a big, mildly terrifying wicker bear waiting to be set on fire because something something Midsommar. He wasn't sure of the details because scary movies weren't his jam.

Either way, it would be good, clean fun!

[Open party!]

"I don't know how many times I have to explain how it's not like that," Danny replied dryly.

He thought that maybe it was kinda that first year, but then... their lives kinda imploded and it got shoved to the side and now it was just this weird friendship that made people think they were married.

"Steven has a very nice girlfriend who somehow puts up with him."

Until she really got those abandonment issues up in a tizzy by bouncing.

Hate when they did that.

“Yes, because feelings being unrequited makes them go away.”

Hey now, that shit was uncalled for. People did not just come out and say things like that to Danny.

"Can we just not?" he asked, going to press his fingers to his eyelids before once again remembering the pain of Old Bay.
betterthanaplan: (sure thing)

Danny started it by pointing out Duke couldn't save everyone!

"You rather go back to talking about how you don't know how to season your food?"
hatesparadise: (whoa there partner)

Re: Food and Refreshments

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-06-28 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes." Wait. "And I do know how to season food. Don't blame me for your poor work at cooking."
betterthanaplan: (:-o)

"Excuse me?!" Duke pressed his hand to his chest ala an offended southern belle. "I own a restaurant, sir!"
hatesparadise: (oh he's got jokes now)

Thank you for rising to the bait, Duke. Seriously.

"Oh, does that mean something?"
betterthanaplan: (*shrug*)

Hey, he knew when to stop pressing buttons! Sometimes.

“Hell yeah it does! . . . Mostly that the previous owner mistook me for one of her employees on her way out the door, but still.”

Also, he only had time for one emotional breakdown at this party and Octavia had dibs!

"Seriously? That just happens here?"

“Apparently. To be fair, Kanan and I did look weirdly similar. He was missing the mustache though.”
hatesparadise: (wanna try that one again?)

"Is that someone I've met before?" Because he liked to think he'd have noticed if Duke had some weird twin running around.

Other than Shunsui?

Duke’s whole look was somehow a popular one in the multiverse, EVEN WITHOUT IT BEING A CASE OF DUPLICATE PBS.

“Nah, he up and disappeared with a few others last fall.” Which Duke had very carefully tried not to think about for a long time. “Probably around the time I got the diner, actually.”

It tended to be, yeah.

"The last thing I need is a house here." He needed to live in many shitty places first!

“Where are you even staying?” Duke asked, that ‘let’s invite the weird homeless woman to live with me’ instinct rearing its head. “Tell me you’re not paying nightly rates at the hotel.”

"Still not as expensive as Hawaii." So yes. Yes, he was.

“Dude.” Duke rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Dude.

"What?" Look, an apartment or house meant he was putting down roots here.
betterthanaplan: (what can you do?)

Re: Food and Refreshments

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2020-06-28 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
"You've been here more than a month!"

He could get a boat! Boats had no roots by definition!
hatesparadise: (gettin' sassy here)

"And?" He'd honestly lived worse places! That first shithole apartment. And that second one too. And also that time he lived on Steve's couch and they tried to kill each other.
betterthanaplan: (not touching that)

"It's sleazy, dude. Imagine if your kid came home and told you she was dating a dude who lived in a hotel."
hatesparadise: (judging you so hard)

Re: Food and Refreshments

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-06-28 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny's immediate reaction was to object to the very notion of his little girl dating anyone ever. "Even here, I think people would have an issue with any renters just disappearing on them."
betterthanaplan: (sure thing)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2020-06-28 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Honestly? I'm pretty sure it happens all the time. Octavia's old apartment has been empty and pretty much untouched for more than a month now."

Duke was all set to pay the rent on it if anyone ever actually asked him for any. Not that Octavia seemed to have any plans to ever go back again, after her little smash-fest.
hatesparadise: (trying to explain procedure)

Re: Food and Refreshments

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-06-28 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It was possible that Danny would become the business owner if he went over to that apartment building. So. That was a thing.

He still looked dubious about this. "It's just a place to sleep."

Nevermind how he'd be able to relax if he had his own space. Also his own kitchen. Because he was a big ol' Italian grandma deep down inside.
