kirby was finally relieved to get off of work. as anyone who needed a place to go the went to the bar. they had spent far to long on their feet. their makeup was breaking up and smudging a bit from wearing it all day long. this might not have been kirby’s finest look, but they didn’t care. at this hour, who were they trying to impress? they let out a long drawn out sigh. “i can’t believe my counter manager told me this.” kirby started, before taking a sip from his cocktail. “she took issue with the fact that to many of my costumers returned the makeup i sold them.” they shook their head, with a smirk on their lips. “i mean, once they own it i can’t do shit.” this was the little things in life that really irked them. 

laurel pouted in sympathy to kirby’s disdain. she could see how exhausted they were from the smudged mascara underneath their eyes. she reached out to do her best to wipe it away. regardless of the legitimacy of kirby’s job, she didn’t envy it one bit. it was stories like that she appreciated her underground business. “honestly some higher-ups don’t understand what it’s like to be a service worker. i’m pretty happy i work at a Moms-and-Pops establishment.” laurel wrapped her lips around her skinny metal straw deep into her tequila sunrise. “if it wasn’t for my little issue, i would definitely suggest that we start our own little beauty business.”

“are you saying it’s scary cause the titanic because it’s true and can happen now?” maybe not so much the sinking, but what did kirby know. cruise ships were not something they’d go on. “i guess it’s scary. i wouldn’t dare go on a cruise. so sure. i stand by that decision too.” they said with a nod. “what other movies did you watch with your family?”

“there are just some scenes in that movie that are so gruesome and there are scenes that you had to just fill in the blanks. sometimes... it’s about what you don’t show.” laurel nodded in agreement with kirby. “cruises are vastly overrated. i’ve been on a couple--my time could have been better delegated.” she picked up the bong off her coffee table before leaning back into her apartment loveseat. “we watched coming to america a lot. at some point we watched the first four harry potter movies. nothing too... memorable.” she sighed then lit the bowl. “what movies did you watch as a kid?”

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.”
