>>Your name is Barb Sminkle

>>hiking!

it's fun but your shoes aren't broken in yet

*With state of the art memory foam!

>>you threw your old laces in them for security purposes. unfortunately Jays usually come with Achilles pain but its okay!

Some guy was stressing about the guide so I suppose-// ...Nah//

"he said he'd be behind us we can just follow the trail"

>>you stay with the group

the groups footsteps echo around the jungle, their conversations don't reach you through your headphones but you like the texture of the gravel underneath your shoes

>>you smile for a second

>>you finish the hike

the sun shines in your eyes through the clouds! the sky looks like a painting with the blue fading into a deep indigo color, the setting sun reflecting through the clouds turning them a pink tint with blue hues

>>you smile for a second

the rays of heat seem to be emanating from everywhere

//omfgneedtogoinsidernwhydididecideonatropicaldestinationugh-//

>>you're sweating!

reaching into your bag you get your deodorant, observing the bag you stare at it for an aggressive amount of time

it's made of green canvas material, you've sewn different patches and buttons and shiny things onto it so it would glint if you were in anyone's peripherals //anyways-//

>>you walk into the nightclub!

bass seems to be vibrating the entire establishment including the ground underneath it, colorful lights reflect off the floor, the bar glints in the back, various exotic kinds of spirits are lined up on shelves behind it illuminated from beneath by an oscillating neon light

>>you smile for a second

"What do you want to drink?"

"ipa in a glass with 3 ice cubes and an umbrella"

"Here you go babe!"

the umbrella is pink and flowery, turning it in your fingers it glitters silverly, the carbonation makes it taste fruity even though ipas are bitter, It's delicious!-

>>Your name is Tool McFuckhead

<<you walk up to the bar and ask for a napkin

<<you vape confidently

//your phat clouds bring you massive amounts of attention from all the females and you feel great about it//

<<you get the napkin //fuckiforgottoaskforapen//

<<you get the pen and chat up the female

She asked for your number!

<<you give her your number

<<you're gonna get some head tonight B]

You win!

>>you put the number in your phone

>>you sigh because there are ice cubes in your beer

>>you smile for a second

turning towards the room you observe the people enjoying the club

>>your phone buzzes

you're meeting a local plug at the club, looking towards the entrance you see him, you're going to trade some contacts. //hisoutfitisfuckingamazingwowowowow//

>>your phone buzzes

sitting at the bar you spend some hours making jokes, it's nice to laugh

>>you're smiling!

after some silence you ask if you can be honest with him. -in layman's terms- you're empty, //he tells you he knows how you feel & he's got you*

>>your phone buzzes //loseurselfeminemlyricsrememberthatsongforlater-//

>>you shake his hand & leave the club for the night

State of the art hotel room fully equipped with comfy mattress, a bar, holographic projector, ceiling mirror, velvet curtains, and!!! an entire marble bathroom!

>>you think about your old bedroom and sigh

>>you decide to text the guy who gave you his number //you'llfeellesslonely-lonely?//

>>you smile for a second

Knock knock! someone's at the door!

"hi"

"head?"

"um maybe later"

"oh."

<<yes.

//no no no nonon no no no. no no. no. no.//

\\yes ye sy yes yes. yes .. yes yes .... yes\\

"you okay?"

"yeah!"

<<she smiles at you

You Win.

"can i walk you out"

>>you try to smile but can't right now

the hotel lobby is made of marble, tropical plants make it seem less clinical, the cracks in the marble glitter with some kind of black gold substance, the desk glints at you, he follows

a group giggles in the lobby area, he follows in a different direction, you sigh in a different tone

>>you walk up to the concierge desk

"How can I help you?"

>>you ask about local trails again

"The sunsets around this area are beautiful!" //youknowthis*// "They're really pretty around this area!" //i got you-hm//

>>your thoughts echo around your brain for a second

>>you get a brochure

while looking at the brochure your follower loses interest with the group and squeaks nonchalantly across the lobby, he takes the brochure from your hands and starts reading it to you

"-i was mostly just looking at the pictures"

he shrugs and his eyes are sparkling as you look at <<him, he turns and squeaks away towards the exit

>>you follow.

"so where are we going?" <<

>>you shrug and point in a random direction

"somewhere where we can see the sunset i guess"

"what?" <<

"somewhere where we can see the sunset?"

"speak up i didn't hear you."<<

"somew-"

"The sunset right?" <<

//right.//

>>you take his hand eventually finding a path that leads to a grassy clearing overlooking the ocean

the water winks at you like it knows something you don't, because it does, the grass sways with the wind and you can see it's currents blowing across the field, the trail looks crunchy. //hes walking on them.........//

"come over here"

>>you take his hand and crunch over to the overlook

the world seems to stand still with you both as the sun sets under the island, you think to yourself about how the ocean water must be boiling since the sun is in it, the grass sways, the waves of the ocean move uniformly with the currents, you count each time it winks at you, you look up towards the clouds but the sky is clear the stars making up constellations you remember from the past, you think about how lucky it is that your vacation lined up with the constellations-

"what are you thinking about?"<<

"do you ever think about how the ocean should be boiling once the sun sets into it"

"why? its meaningless. do you ever think about how the clouds look like they were painted just for you?"<<

you want him to stop talking to you so you put headphones in and turn on music, he pulls a headphone out and asks if he can listen with you, you say no, he shrugs, he must be happy to spend time with you, you think about times when you would've had the morale/ to appreciate that

he walks towards the edge of the clearing pulling you with him, you pull away and as he draws back in offense you push him off the cliff, while he's in view you look onto his face and see an emotion you've felt so many times before

you think about that feeling as you look out onto the horizon, the gradients are unlike anything you've ever seen before and the stars fill you with hope/ as the wind blows you off the cliff's edge

>>your heart skips a beat.

you didn't mean to fall like this, the world slows down as you close your eyes breathing concentrated breaths, wrapping your arms around your legs to achieve the perfect cannonball, you're glad your phone is waterproof

>>you smile for a second

>>you've been consumed by the ocean
