cammymonroe:
Cammy looked up, mid-sip of her iced coffee and lowered her cup, shaking her head, “Oh, I don’t do scary movies. I’ve watched a few but… I honestly don’t have a favorite.”
“You don’t do scary movies?” Laurel stared at her skeptically. “You’re telling me as a world famous supermodel, no more than a few people invited you back to their place to watch a horror movie in hopes to get in your pants where you would have accepted?”
kirby-powell:
they cocked their head to side thinking really hard. scary movies were not kirby’s first choice thing to watch. “um… scary movie 3.” they replied with a small shrug. “it counts. i saw it in theaters and was convinced the girl from the movie was going to kill me.”
“just because the title has the word ‘scary’ in it, doesn’t mean it’s scary. do you know what is a horror movie though? titanic. i stand by that.” laurel wasn’t that well-versed in all things horror movies. if it weren’t for liv and livvy, her knowledge would be that of an amateur. perhaps she asked simply to gather recommendations. “it was one of the ten movies my family and i watched together back in baltimore.”
livvy-and-dead:
“You really should’ve,” Livvy said, almost ignoring the little kiss on their cheek (though they were never good at that – it didn’t take a genius to see little dipples forming on Livvy’s cheeks). “Have you at least seen Hush? Or even Us? Do you even watch any horror?”
“Of course I’ve seen Us! I’m not that deprived of modern cinema. You underestimate me, hon.” She turned and draped her legs - and although she was only five-foot-four, her legs were disproportionately long compared to her torso - over Livvy’s thighs. Their relationship was more intimacy by way of fiery kisses and desperate grasps rather than deep conversations and affection, but Laurel disregarded that aspect. “Does Halloweentown count as horror? If so, I’d survive that one. Other situations, you’d have to be by my side.”
brooklynariwiles:
Yeah Bryant is too smart for his age. He knows what the pea’s look like and he will not be fooled lol.
I bet if you put me in front of him I’ll tell a lie so convincing he’d have to eat his peas. He’ll be out here thinking it’s candy or something.
aubreypce:
“i got an email last night from a parent and it was WILD!” aubrey tells the other, she’d had to re-read the email a few times just to understand what the parent wanted, she was gobsmacked. “his kid is failing my class, so he wants me to give her a C? for no reason at all” .
laurel scoffed and rolled her eyes at the parent’s demand, only laughing slightly because of aubrey’s incredulous tone. “fucking milennials, am i right?” she leaned over to read the text. “how do you deal with the burden of helicopter parents?” she asked, memories flashing before her eyes of her own.
i just got home and i’m one lucky gal as my bf is in the kitchen cooking dinner while i start *cracks knuckles* getting down on these replies and responses to starters and messages on discord and my ims!
rohoeman:
“–you know the other day, i was considering moving away from the states. i love this place, but i seriously think that i should get out. so i was looking at the australian citizenship application.” roman grabbed a hold of the small glass of fireball and tilted his head back. “one of the questions asked if i had a criminal record. i didn’t know that was still a requirement. but i figured if it came down to it, i’d try my hardest.”
her tongue darted out to wet her supple lips as she saw the very attractive man approach her. it wasn’t often that laurel’s young heart leapt from such a daring presence from a stranger, but she was only human. as he continued to speak, she couldn’t stop the instinctive eyeroll. she quickly cleared her throat and took a sip from her tequila sunrise. “why does it sound like you’re telling me this to impress me?” she smirked, “because i hate to tell ya, mister; it’s not.”
trying to do replies but i am constantly getting distracted by catching up with 90 day fiance.

Interesting. So what kind of pet is Einstein? And is it rude of me to ask why you named him Einstein?
Oh definitely Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Wasn’t that based on a true story? Anything based on a true story is scary. Ever seen Amityville horror? The1979 film? Gave me the chills. But yeah, you are definitely going to have to have a movie marathon. I’m due for one also. I usually do them around Halloween, but didn’t last year.
Einstein is my cute little American short-haired kitty that I found underneath the bridge at the marina. He couldn’t have been more than eight weeks old -- and it’s not rude at all. Honestly? I have no idea. It just felt right. Do you have any pets?
I haven’t seen Amityville. Horror movies are still somewhat new to me -- I wasn’t really allowed to watch them when I lived back home and the only time that I could was when I would sneak over to my boyfriend’s house. It’s weird that most people marathon horror movies on Halloween when you can really do it any time of the year. Like tonight. I could go back to my apartment, slip into something comfortable and turn on something that could make me pee my pants.
rohoeman:
“i have to admit– can’t sit through one long enough to know. however– there was this one movie a long time ago that i watched that was scary; called the notebook.” roman’s face was straight. “i thought that i had to propose to my girlfriend the next day because that was the expectation.”
at least he’s handsome, laurel told herself when she noticeably grimaced at roman’s response. “at least you didn’t follow through with it. take it from me that spontaneous decisions when it comes to marriage should be a no-go.”
livvy-and-dead:
“What, so you can have me all scared and cuddled up with you?” Livvy asked, letting out a high-pitched, bubbly giggle. “No way. If we’re doing a scary movie, we have to unpack all of it. I still want to unpack The VVitch. It totally freaks me out, but it’s SO good!”
LJ rolled her eyes at Livvy’s statement before playfully pushing their shoulder. “If I wanted you all cuddled up with me I could find other and more effective ways of convincing.” She leaned over and pressed a soft and supple kiss to their cheek. “I should have known asking this question would have came with consequences. Don’t hate me, but I haven’t seen The VVitch.”
xanderandremiles:
This may not qualify as a scary movie, but definitely The Purge. That shit ever happens in real life, it would be scary as all hell. What’s yours?
If you ever want an easy way to detect if someone will click with you or not is ask what they’d do on the night of The Purge. I’d raid PetSmart. Einstein’s gotta eat!
Hands down The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the 1974 original of course. The Hills Have Eyes is a close second. Hm, but maybe even the first Saw. It’s so hard to choose. The only way to give a definitive answer is to have a movie marathon, I’m sure of it.
"What’s your favorite scary movie? And, no, I don’t mean that in a scary Ghostface way, but what is your favorite scary movie? And why? I’m asking simply for research. Research for what? Don’t ask.”
brooklynariwiles:
You joke but Bryant could use a big sister. Just saying. Yeah he loves the vegetable medley juice boxes so thats a plus but he doesn’t like peas now…
You could always... just lie. A little white lie couldn’t hurt anybody.
malachidubois:
This was a stupid idea, Malachi thought as he clutched the small potted plant in his hands. Between his schedule and Athena’s exuberance, this little guy was doomed. Still, his apartment needed some brightening up and plants were the easiest way to that, weren’t they? “For clarification purposes.” he began, turning to the person beside him. “Cacti are virtually indestructible, right?”
LJ looked up from a succulent she planned on purchasing for herself. “You can actually kill them by over-watering it or keeping in a too-cold environment. Trust me,” she said showing him her thumb. “I’ve got myself a brown thumb. It took me a few tries before I could keep one of those spiky fuckers alive.”
mrezekielbautista:
Ezekiel leaned back against seat at the cafe his eyes drifting down to his watch for the second time in 10 minutes. He’d been looking forward to this get together, a chance to get out for the day and relax. It was fire season, so he was constantly on call in case of forest fires and this was just a chance to see someone other than his crew. As if on cue his phone chimed, the nail in the coffin. Sorry can’t make it. Raincheck. Cursing softly, he motions to someone hear by holding up a coffee cup.
“Hey want a free cup of coffee? I haven’t touched it, I just preemptively got it for a coffee date who bailed on me”
Laurel feigned a gasp in flattery, holding a hand over her heart. “You’re asking moi? Don’t mind if I do. Can’t have enough coffee,” she said gesturing the latte in her own hands before taking a seat across from Zeke. “Damn--what’d you do to be stood up this time, Z? Gave them a preview of the goods before they paid for the show?” Laurel teased, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth before taking a sip of the free beverage, neglecting the one she had already purchased. Free things had a better taste on her tongue.

So my two year old has declared war on peas today. The veggies he loved last week are now enemy number one and I don’t know if I should be scared or not. I gave him peas at lunch and he ran away terrified and returned wearing a bathrobe and strainer on his head…when I asked why he just looked at me and said “no pea” like he was on strike. So I guess we are going with Broccoli this week.
If Bryant’s on strike, I’m not ashamed to say I volunteer to be a ‘”scab” if it meant that you adopted me. There are so many recipes that incorporate veggies into a smoothie. My mom was actually ahead of the game when she did that during my childhood.

BIOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING…
growing up she was exposed to;
White picket fences and a two-story house in the suburbs with trees crowning the roads like an archway. A picture-perfect life! They had a personal chef because both parents were too busy working to cook dinner, but they thought it would be better for the family to eat around the table as if it would make the meal more intimate. Serious conversations to build any semblance of shallow-less connections were absent.
all about the family & their relationships;
Laurel’s parents had always been involved. Maybe a little too involved in the wrong way and not involved in the ways that mattered. In today’s world, they would be considered helicopter parents the way they hounded her about grades and making sure to get accepted to John Hopkins University on a scholarship to study pre-med. Yes, of course, they wanted her to be a doctor! Much like both of her parents are. Her mother, a neurosurgeon, and her father, a physical therapist. Not to mention they always compared Laurel to her older sister, Mikayla, who studied at John Hopkins pre-med and then got into Harvard Medical School. The pressure to be perfect had built so much that she was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. It wasn’t until a major life decision caused a rift so large that she hasn’t spoken to her parents in over five years.
the road to portland starts with;
LJ had a secret boyfriend in high school who she kept from her family for the reason that romance is a mere distraction from what really mattered: her education. Which in some regard, yes, is correct but at the expense of her own daughter’s happiness and sanity it was a little too much. The day after graduation, without care nor regard to her parents’ concern, Laurel and her boyfriend (along with a couple of witnesses), young and in love and full of hormones and adrenaline, escaped the masses and traveled across the country to the Oregon Coast to elope as they read it was one of the most beautiful places to host a secret wedding.
Breaking the news to her parents went less than stellar as they berated her over the phone and cut her out of their will and trust. Laurel told her it was love and it was real and that it was more than a puppy, high school romance. Her boyfriend believed differently. A month into their so-called marriage, he packed up his belongings from their small studio apartment in Portland and left without so much a letter.
Heartbroken, and feeling stupid, it took Laurel a year to get over this betrayal, and even as she begged to come home her parents were having none of it. During that year, since she could no longer afford the apartment on her own, she got a part-time job at Crossroads and took a few temp positions just to make rent. As time progressed, she really made a name for herself at the music store, getting to know the locals, finding her ‘spots’. She had her favorite coffee shop, her favorite bar, favorite clothing boutique… Portland, despite the sadness that came in the beginning, became her home. LJ is now out here living her best life, although she misses her parents and wished they’d pick up the phone when she called. Not to mention, she hopes that her husband… who, yes, is still legally her husband, will come back.
her occupational perspective;
For the most part, Laurel does enjoy working at Crossroads but it doesn’t pay the bills. On the side, she’s an independent esthetician… without a license. But what she charges isn’t as much as licensed cosmetologists and estheticians do so she does have clients. She has to get charged under the table for the reason that what she’s doing isn’t exactly legal.
ASTROLOGY AESTHETICS | cancer
cancers are remarkably good at accumulating things; indeed, they can be unwilling to throw anything out, even relationships that have passed their use-by date. they are generally over-anxious in financial matters, and make great efforts to gather in money; as a rule, they have unusual ups and downs in their early life and so they are compelled to work to keep ahead, but once they get on their feet they keep there. if channeled in the right direction, their enormous sensitivity can become a great source of strength. once they overcome their touchiness and master their turbulent emotions, their intellect and imagination enable them to become a success in almost anything they undertake.

and this is my baby laurel, who quite honestly, this is my first time playing her and i’m so excited to flesh her out even further by plotting with all you beautiful people!
Here are a few tidbits about her:
MBTI: ENFP PERSONALITY TYPE: The Catalyst (Innovation x Passion) COMMON ARCHETYPE: The Explorer FAVORITE MOVIE: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) FAVORITE MUSIC ARTIST: Mariah Carey QUICK BACKGROUND: Ran away from home after her high school graduation to elope and is now disowned by her parents. PETS: American Short-Haired Cat named Einstein
She is currently still legally married to her high school sweetheart who left her a month into their “marriage.” So her married name is Walker whereas she was born Matlind.
She’s also an UNLICENSED esthetician - so do with that what you will!
She’s also a member of MENSA but she would never mention that to anybody.
She hasn’t dated seriously since she and her “husband” split - a few hookups here and there.
She is bisexual. Little bisexual baby.
One of her favorite things to tell people when she first meets them is that Kim Rhodes - the actress who plays the mom from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody once came into Crossroads to buy a first edition Joni Mitchell album.
