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!]

"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.

“Who knows, man, you stick around long enough, maybe someone will hand you a job, too. Or a house!”

"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.”
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

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

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

[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!

"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)

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)

"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)

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.
betterthanaplan: (aw come on)

“Yeah, no. I spent most of my childhood with ‘just a place to sleep’.” Usually one he could get arrested for being in! “You’re a grown up, shortstop. You need a home.”

"I have one," he said stubbornly. "It's not here."

It was wherever Grace was. And, sometime in the future, where Charlie was too.
betterthanaplan: (bullshit)

“Yeah, but you’re stuck here indefinitely. Being miserable isn’t actually going to get you home any faster.”

Especially since whatever directed the island’s whims seemed to really like them being miserable.
hatesparadise: (now I'm the one talking here)

Danny sighed, tossing his hands up in the air. "I'll look at places, okay? Doesn't mean I'm gonna get one."

“Great. Welcome to being an actual adult.”

Duke, you live on a boat.
