Saturday? Smaturday. Caturday.

MARlSS: -Vanessa had heard of the place called the spot going around school lately. she heard it was a quiet place to make out with people and there were tons of party. she pulls up and sees no one was there this night thankfully. she smiles grabs her phone sitting in her car. she dials anumber and waits. A french man on the other sie answer and she smiles big. she sat theretalking to him. she then turns her facetime on to show him the view over the city.-
Tsaaq: ((Whoa when did you get here lmao.))
MARlSS: [o.o after you said you decided lol]
Tsaaq: ((Lmao yay!))
Tsaaq: Freedom drove up to the spot with a frown, turning to park her suburban on the side of the road. Hopefully out of the way from other passing cars. She grassed her DSLR camera from the seat beside her and draped it around her neck. Initially she dind't notice Vanessa, she'd been too close to the edge and Freedom was heading for the tent. She bit her lip before bringing the camera to her eye and carefully adjusting the focus ring.
MARlSS: [why would you put grass on a camera mani! XD]
Tsaaq: ((she needs to get in close and take pictures!))
MARlSS: -Vanessa chuckles.-"ok ok jules i'll let you get a better a view."-she got out of her car and stood  her back to the view and she holds her phone up. the french man smiles and gasps.-"ahh the view is beautiful..but not as beautiful as you."-she smiles big and shakes herhead.-"Stop it."-she was blushing abit jules always knew how to make vanessa blush.-"How is simon treating you love?"-she sighs and shrugs abit.-"he touched my butt the other day supposebly on accident. his wife is horried as always."-Jules curses in french and vanessa sighs.-
Tsaaq: She winced a little and brought pressed the button, the shutter sound going off a few times before she opened the tent and climbed inside. She pursed her lips as she forced herself to sit, wincing a little as she looked around before taking a few more pictures from the inside.
MARlSS: -Vanessa heard soem russling and she looks at jules.-"I will call you later."-they exchanged a few words and she hung up. she tucks her phone in her jacket and makes her way over to the tent and smiles seeing it was only freedom. she places her hand over her chest.-"oh gods reedom you scared me. I heard something and got scared for a second thought it might be a bear or something.
Tsaaq: Freedom lowered her camera and pulled her knees into her chest, tilting her head slightly and sighing. She jumped once she saw someone coming in the tent then exhaled. "A bear hanging out in a mother fuckin' tent?" Freedom asked, her eyebrows knitting and her lips pouting. "What was I? A baby bear?" She continued to inquire with a shake of her head. "What you doing out here anyways?"
MARlSS: -Vanessa chuckles.-"well if there is food in the tent a bear will go in it. and maybe you could be a baby bear."-she chuckles and smiles.-"I came to show Jules the view here in new york. He lives in paris."-she shrugs abit.-"what about you?"
Covet: Nika had drove her Jeep up to the Spot, hoping it was pretty quiet for the night. She enjoyed going up there to just look and think. She saw Freedom's vehicle there parked on the sie of the road, and smiled, she hadn't checked in on her in a couple days, and was excited to see her.  She got out and closed teh door, tucking her keys into her pocket and started wandering around looking for  Freedom or anyone else she knew.
Tsaaq: "Aw, that's nice of you." She told Vanessa with a nod. "I unno who Jules is though." She giggled. Her face fell at the question. "Taking pictures of this tent..." Freedom shrugged, she pursed her lips a little and went to crawl out of the tent, suddenly feeling silly. She looked around at the clearing through the view finder of her camera before seeing Nika. "Oh, I didn't know you was here!" She said, lowering her camera.
MARlSS: -Vanessa smiles.-"Oh he is my boyfriend. I met him when Simon took me to paris for a fashion show. He owns a few business over there in paris...He comes to see me when he can though."-she smiles softly and looks around seeing nika.-"hey nika how are you?"
Covet: "Hey Freedom,  I just got here actually, saw your vehicle." She said pointing then noticed Vanessa. Nika looked around, because this really didn't seem like her kind of environment. She gave a shrug then smiled politely at her, "I'm great, how are you? "
Tsaaq: Freedom bit the inside of her cheek at the mention of Vanessa's boyfriend. She crossed her arms over her chest then nodded her head politely. She looked to Nika and smacked her own head lightly. "Right!" Freedom said. "Right, how you? I spent all yesterday just sleeping around my apartment." She shrugged.
MARlSS: -Vanessa smiles to nika.-"I'm doing good."-she looks at freedom as she spoke.-"Had a lazy day. I love lazy days."-she chuckles lightly and tucks her hands into her pocket.-
Covet: "I bet that was nice though, I had to work and work." She said with a soft smile. "Today was good though Spent some time with my mom at the inn." Nika rocked on her heels a little bit, then looked over towards the city, " It's a pretty nice night tonight, though. I like that it's quiet up here."
Tsaaq: "Awww." Freedom sighed and smiled at Nika. "Mommy-daughter time and shit." She looked out at the view and lifted her camera once more. "It was aiight. I needed to get out of the apartment... Lazy days are aiight most of the time." She said quietly, taking another picture.
MARlSS: -Vanessa smiles lsitening to them both talk. she finally chimed in.-"I haven't seen my mom in awhile. it must be good to have time with your mom. so i'm guesing you live around here nia?"
Covet: "Yeah, It was nice. I didn't realize that you took photos. You'll have to show me some of your photography sometime" She said smiling at Freedom, then looked over at Vanessa, "Yeah, my mom and I live in town, her inn is out of the city a few miles. I get to see her often, but we're really close."
Tsaaq: "How you ain't see your moms for so long?" Freedom asked Vanessa then lowered her camera, she pressed the arrow button. Her eyes furrowed as she looked through her most recent photos. "Yeah, I fucks with photography every so often. It's like a still movie, telling a story in a picture and shit." She nodded.
MARlSS: -She shrugs her shoulders abit.-"My mom is kind of upset with me right now. It's along story."-she smiles and nods her head agreeing with herself.-"I would like to see some of your photos as well freedom."
Covet: "That's really cool. I like that concept. I bet you have some great shots in your portfolio too." She wanted to look over her shoulder at the pictures, but wasn't the type to be nosey. She looked at Vanessa and gave her a soft smile, "I'm sorry, that must be miserable. I would die without being in contact with my mom. That's how much she's my rock"
Tsaaq: Freedom smiled shyly and nodded. "Thanks." She said, letting her DSLR hang from her neck. "I can show you some of my prints when you come over one day. Or just go through my files on my computer." She offered. Freedom turned to Vanessa and frowned a bit, she couldn't imagine not talking to her mother either. "Ya'll can't just have a conversation?" She asked. "Maybe you could just apologize?"
MARlSS: -Vanessa smiles and shakes her head.-"I'm not the one that needs to apologize...she is. My mom isn't the nicest person you could say. She likes to hit the bottle a little to hard."-she smiles softly. Vanessa didn't care to much for her mom but her father was another story.-"I se my dad alot though. He takes me to baseball games around here when baseball is in season and we sometimes go for walks in the park. it's nice having him around."
Covet: Nika grinned and nodded her head, "I'd love to do that sometime." Nika looked at Vanessa as she smile, then frowned, giving a shrug. "That's really good that you have that kind of relationship with your Dad. I never see mine. Or when I do see him, it's because he's having another midlife crisis" Nika said with a gentle shrug and a smile.
Tsaaq: She frowned as she looked between the two of them. "Wow... That's wild." She whispered. She ran her fingers through her hair a moment. "That's mad sad." Freedom said, not sure of what else to say once she'd heard the two girls speak on their parental situations.
MARlSS: -Vanessa shrugs.-"It's not that bad. I rather not talk to my mom. My dad is enough for me."-she smiles and looks at them both.-"So what are you two doing tonight?"
Covet: "Yeah, Sad, but I've gotten used to it. It's how he's always been." Nika said with a laugh then looked out, "I come here sometimes to think, and write, listen to music. It's better when there's not a party going on."
Tsaaq: She nodded her head awkwardly. "I always had my moms and pops, I guess I just feel guilty." She sighed. "I was just here to take pictures..." Freedom replied. "I didn't really have a plan or nothing."
MARlSS: -She nods her head.-"I just came here so I could facetime with my boyfriend so he could see the view. I heard the view is amazing up here so I had to check it out."-she smiles and plays with her hair abit.she felt really awkward right now. Sort of out of place.-
Covet: "That's sweet of you," Nika said politely to Vanessa, then looked at Freedom, "Have you heard anything more back from Derek of Shay?" Nika asked her, walking over towards one of the fire pits, intending to get one started up since she was starting to get cold.
Tsaaq: "Yeah, the view is pretty dope." She muttered with a forced smile. She looked to Nika then sighed a little. "Well nothing from Derek... And I texted Shay today, she seems aiight. That's about it..." Freedom replied.
MARlSS: -Vanessa nods and she looks around abit. she sighs to herself and tucks some hair behind her ear.-"I think I'm going to get going. Let you two chat. It was nice seeing you two again. See you around again hopefully."-she smiles and didnt want to intrude on their personal conversation plus she felt like a third wheel almost.-
Covet: "Good maybe things have calmed down and blown over then." Nika said softly then looked at Vanessa, giving a soft smile, "Oh, okay, yeah that sounds good. See you around, Vanessa." Nika said as she put a few logs and some kindling together, then got the fire going.
Tsaaq: She shrugged her shoulders and pouted. "Maybe. I unno." Freedom said quietly. She kept her pout in tact once Vanessa said she was leaving. "Oh uh... You sure?" She asked her, raising her eyebrow.
MARlSS: -she smiles and nods her head.-"Yeah I'm sure. You two have fun and be safe."-she pulls her keys out of her pocket and goes to her car. she starts the engine and heads out-
MARlSS: [my ankle is throbbing cause its infected im going to go clean it out and maybe go to bed]
Tsaaq: ((Okies.))
Everender: *Nixon walked through the cool night air, looking for inspiration. His tinder meet-up bailed, so he decided to make the most of the time and get some good shots, or maybe some decent prose. He had both camera and notebook in his bag should the moment arise. As he headed through to The Spot, apparently on autopilot, he caught sight of a few people gathered together by the firepit. From a distance he pulled out his camera and snapped a quick picture as the fire started up, the three women silhouetted around the flames. As he put his camera away again, he decided maybe a little company was in order, and was surprised to see one of the three young ladies had already taken off as he closed up his bag. Two friends was still just as good as two, though, so he headed over, smiling amiably at the girls as he drew up.* “Hiya. Chilly evening huh? Mind if I join you ‘round the fire?"
Everender: ((only took me forever. >_> If you're wrapping up, though, feel free to disregard, and I can join sometime when it's not already laaaate.. xD))
Covet: Nika looked up and gave Venessa a wave then smiled over at Freedom, "I hope I didn't run her off. So she's got a boyfriend then too." Nika trailed off then looked up seeing another student join them. She'd seen him around the campus a little, but didn't know who he was. " Hello, Not at all, feel free to get warm."
Tsaaq: ((Any time is a good time.))
Tsaaq: "Yeah... He live all the way in France though." Freedom said, scrunching up her nose. "I don't think you run anybody away... You the best." She went to sit down, reluctantly. Freedom looked up and saw Nixon, giving him an awkward wave before nodded. "Yeah sure. You can sit with us. I don't mind." She smiled.
Everender: "Thanks," *He smiled brightly, sitting with a comfortable ease and warming his hands a little over the fire* "Nice to see I'm not the only one out this evening." *He chuckled softly* "Makes me feel less crazy, haha.." *His smile warm, he looked from the one girl to the other* "..What brings you out, anyway? -Oh, and I'm Nixon, by the way, pleasure to meet you both."
Covet: "I don't think that makes her situation any better, but not my business" Nika said lifting her hands up, then looked over at Freedom, "Thanks, So are you."  Nika smiled over at the guy, who seemed like pleasant company, " I just like it up here, great inspiration quiet, but you still hear the buzz of the city. Not crazy at all, There's occasionally a party going on up here on the weekends, Must be too cold for the party crowd." She said with a shrug then introduced herself, " Nice to meet you Nixon, I'm Nika."
Tsaaq: She nodded her head in agreement before turning to Nixon. "Oh, right. I seen you around." Freedom told him. "And I'm Freedom." She introduced herself with a small smile and another nod. "I like taking pictures here. But I'm pretty sure I should stop. Too many memories." She whispered as she looked down at her camera. "It's pretty nice and calm here when people aren't mobbing. You can kiss this goodbye when Spring comes."
Everender: Nixon nodded, listening, and already liking the chill these girls had. "Yeah, it is really lovely out here when it's quiet like this, huh?" He brightened a little more when Freedom mentioned her camera, his smile widening. "Oh, cool! I do a little photography myself! Can I see some of your shots?" He reached to pull his camera out grinning brightly. "You can see some of mine if you like. And as for memories, there's no harm in having pictures with a little history, as long as you keep trying to make good memories right?" He chuckled a little. "..Maybe come spring there will be new things to kiss hello." Somehow still going, he turned to Nika. "..and are you here taking photos too? Or are you looking for other inspiration?"
Covet: "Yeah, pretty much. Unless it's during the week, then you can occasionally catch it without people. Summer is a major goodbye."  Nika looked over at Freedom as she spoke about not taking pictures here, "Why would you stop taking pitcures here? This view never gets old."  She smiled likeing Nixon's up beat attitude, "No, I'm not a photographer, I document my memories via writing though. That's what I do up here."
Tsaaq: "I unno..." Freedom whispered as she frowned. "I guess I'm just feeling a little shitty again. I'll be aiight. Y'all are right." She said with a laugh. "I mean... I ain't the best photographer ever but I can show you some of my shots?" Freedom offered as she carefully took her camera from around her neck and held it out to him and smiled. "I mostly do nature, still life and shit like that."
Everender: Nixon smiled brightly at Nika. "Oh, awesome! I write a some poetry now and then, myself, but I could never be a diarist. Takes real dedication." He swapped cameras with Freedom, treating her camera very carefully. "I guess I mostly do nature, too.." He smiled a little mischievously. A lot of the photos on his camera were of guys from tinder in various poses around his apartment. Mostly non-nudes but not all. "..Wildlife, I suppose you could call it?" He chuckled and started thumbing through a few of Freedom's photos.. "Oh I like some of these a lot!  Are these all areas around here, or to you travel from some of these?" He angled the camera a little for Nika to get a look. "Lookit this! Have you seen these?"
Everender: ((Didn't realize Nixon would be such chatterbox. He's nice, though, so.. not so bad? xD ))
Tsaaq: ((Yeah so far so good!))
Covet: Nika looked at Freedom and gave her a soft smile, "Anything I can help with?" She asked with a concerned tone. " I bet you've still got some stunning shots, Both of you. I don't have the eye for photography, but I could write up a description of a picture to make you feel like you were looking at it." She said with a light laugh. "Journalism is my major."  She shook her head then looked at the camera " Oh wow, yeah, this is really good, Freedom."
Covet: [Agreed :) It's all good. You've probably got two of the nicest and peaceful characters here XD]
Everender: (( YAY! Can't wait til we end up in the real shit. xD ))
Tsaaq: "Nah, it's aiight. It's probably just, y'know." She looked to Nika and pressed her lips together tightly. Freedom took Nixon's camera and unsuspectingly looked through his pictures. "Damn boy. You brave, these is people. I don't know if I'm ready for all that-" She began to say before she reached one of the nudes. Her eyes widened and zoned out a moment. She snapped back once she heard the compliments on her photography and attempted to move on to some non-naked men shots which wasn't hard. She sighed with relief. "You pretty good at photography too." Freedom told Nixon. She gave a modest smile as she looked between the two of them. "Really? Thanks y'all. I really was just taking pictures of what felt right." She shrugged.
Tsaaq: ((Yeah that's always fun lmao.))
Everender: Nixon nodded, smiling as Nika described her art. "Amazing. So we're all truth tellers here. I love it." He kinda shrugged sheepishly as well, glad to have the praise, but then gasping a little when he saw the look on Freedom's face as she took in one of the photos. "Oh, did I..? Ohhhh, I left that picture of Garrett in the shower in there, didn't I?" He laughed, remembering the moment, reddening a little but still grinning. "Couldn't help snapping that one, and sooo glad he let me keep it." He snickered a little, turning Freedom's camera off and handing it back to her. "I guess I take pictures of what feels right, too. And, hehe, boy did he feel right." He beamed a little, then gasped, an idea popping into his head. "Ohhhh, think we could help each other out sometime? We're both focussed on different aspects of photography, could be interesting to teach each other a little."
Covet: "You've got a great eye,"  She said to Freedom, "Keep following that feeling". Nika looked over at Nixon as he spoke, only imagining what Freedom was looking at on his camera. She laughed softly and watched them talk about photography, happily taking the back seat to watch them, as she was a people watcher.
Tsaaq: "No no no, it's aiight. Ain't nothing I ain't see before." She looked a little nervous as she took her camera back and gave his back. "Right! HA!" Freedom forced out of laugh then gritted her teeth. "Uh, that don't sound half bad actually." She eased up once she heard his suggestion. "I get nervous when I wanna take pictures of people. I unno why. Maybe you can help me out?" She asked. She turned to Nika and laughed. "Stop, you making me sound like Andy Warhol or some shit." She laughed.
Everender: Nixon smiled amiably, taking back his camera and smoothly passing it to Nika in a hospitable gesture. "Wanna take a peek? Wouldn't be fair to leave you out, huh?" He gave her a little wink, then turned to Freedom again, echoing Nika's words to her. "Well you /do/ have a good eye, so.. ..I guess you just need the right subject. -Heh, not necessarily a Garrett, not right away," He smiled all the more, matchmaker wheels starting to turn.."..but someone you're comfortable enough with." He joined in the laughter, piling on the little joke. "Ohh, what if you were the /next/ Warhol? Oh! Nika, you'd get dibs on the story, right? This is perrrfect!"
Covet: "You could be, who knows." Nika said shrugging her shoulders with a smile, leaning over her knees as she put her hands out towards the fire. She laughed nodding her head, "Oh for sure. Definitley got the dibs on the story. I'll make sure they know about her. I've already promised her as much for her other endevours as well. "
Tsaaq: Her eyebrows rose up her forehead. "Thanks..." Freedom said to Nixon. "I have no idea who my subject could be though." She tossed some of her hair over her shoulder and leaned forward, giggling. "Ya'll too much. I can't." She shook her head. "But true, Nika and I got a deal. I got no problem adding people to it though." Freedom smiled as she looked to Nixon.
Everender: "Oooo, there are 'other endeavours'.. Tell me mooooore." He flashed a grin, looking to Nika for the story. "Gimme the scoop on Miss Freedom over here.." He leaned in too, chin in his hands, elbows on his knees. He glanced Freedom's way, all positivity. "We'll find you a good subject. Maybe with a little trial and error, but we'll get you there." He gave her a little wink. "And maybe you can teach me how to take pictures of things I can't have a conversation with." Nixon then turned back to Nika, smiling maybe a little goofily. "Okay, but now the story, right?"
Covet: "What if you took some shots of Derek while he was at the gym practicing? I think you could take some very inspirational shots there." Nika said the suggestion lightly to her, knowing how she felt in regards to the guy right now. "By all means add away, Who knows we'll just start our own production and promotion firm?" She laughed, not entirely serious about the idea. "Well Freedom is probably one of the most genuinely sweet girls that you will ever meet, despite her pre-determined online reputation, Which, don't believe that at all, it's all garbage."
Tsaaq: Freedom's eyes widened. "Hmm... I guess I can take pictures of Derek doing shit like punching the big heavy bag thing?" She asked with a laugh. "Oh my god there ain't no scoop. I'm so not interesting." Freedom protested but not too much since she was giggling at the thought of it. "You know what? See your pictures I trust your guidance and shit." She nodded at Nixon. "You can talk to trees and shit if really wanted though, like that bitch Pocahantas." Freedom snickered.
Everender: "Hahaaa, who hasn't wanted advice from Grandmother Willow at some point in their life?" He snickered, then nodded at Nika's suggestion. He'd noted her words about Freedom's online presence but wasn't going to press the issue and bring things down. "But yeh, maybe Derek's a good idea. All sweaty and punchy. Sounds picturesque. Would he be into it? Also.. Who's Derek?"
Covet: Nika laughed, "I think it helped in her favor that the Tree talked back to her too." Nika listened to them both then responded, "Friend of ours, he's pretty cool, but a total meat head." She explained with a smile.
Tsaaq: "I wish my grandma was a tree most of the time to be honest." Freedom giggled. She pouted her lips  as she tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "Sweaty? Aiight, I guess there's a market for pictures of sweaty men." She said with a shrug. She opened her mouth to answer Nixon then stopped once Nika already answered. She exhaled with relief then nodded her head. "Yeah, all that."
Everender: Nixon snickered. "Fair point, Nika.. Communication is a two-way street, after all.." He listened to the brief summation of Derek, then nodded. "Okay. Cool. Doesn't sound like the self-conscious type, and, like, he doesn't haaave to be sweaty.." He laughed, smiling broadly. "Maybe he's your muse. Your meathead muse."
Covet: "Oh I'm sure he wouldn't mind sweaty at all. He's more like my meathead pain in the butt. But He has his not so butt moments." Nika said with a shrug, "My grandma is the type who drinks a sidecar or a Manhattan at noon with the ladies. She's very.... Proper, I guess would be the right term." She said with a laugh.
Tsaaq: Freedom nodded her head. "Good, cause sweat is kinda gross. And he's been sweaty around me before and I didn't know how to feel about it." She said with her tongue sticking out a little. "Proper ain't bad. My grandma is just confusing and old." She shook her head. "I mean... I been wanted to make videos based off of things he's done and said. So he kinda a muse."
Everender: "Sounds like a decent guy. Maybe he'd be down for a photo session sometime? It's not like it has to be a long-term agreement or anything." He stuck his tongue out a little in reply, then leaned back as the conversation shifted, shaking his head and chuckling.. "Oh, don't even get me going about my crazy immigrant grandparents, hahahaaa"
Covet: "Are you kidding, he'd more than be happy to oblige. It'd be all about him." Nika said with a smile, then looked at Nixon, "Oh where did they immigrate from?"
Tsaaq: "He aiight." Freedom said playfully. "Yeah I can text him after church tomorrow." She nodded her head. "If he ain't busy." She whispered, taking out her phone. "He prolly would be mad happy about being one of my subjects." Freedom shook her head before falling silent. She rose and eyebrow, waiting on Nixon's answer.
Everender: "Ohhh, they came over from China. And sooo in to the American Dream.." He chuckled, thinking about his folks. "They went full NYC-convenience-store Chinese." He laughed, smilng warmly. "They still run it now, even though they don't have to.. They're awesome, just.. so crazy. I love 'em." He drifted a little into remembering his last visit, then snapped back. "Ohhh, yeah, text Derek, teeeeext Dereeeek." He clapped his hands excitedly.
Covet: "That's awesome. Really cool that they've held onto their heritage though." Nika said with a genuine smile.  She got up to get another log to add onto the fire. "You'll have to let me know where it's at, so that I can stop by there when I go into the city."
Tsaaq: "I am! Just not right now. I don't wanna bother him." Freedom told him, trying to play it cool. She clasped her hands together and gasped. "Oh shit, that's mad cute! I love corner stores and delis and shit. Well... I did when I lived in the city."
Everender: Nixon laughed, leaning forward and shaking his head a little.. "Oh my god.. I love this.. Go out for a walk and end up basically inviting people to go see my grandparents.. And they would just love it too! Hahahaaa" He snickered at the thought of the whole thing.. "We'll go sometime, for sure.. -Oh, shit!" His reflection on the state of things reminded him of the time -or at least that a good chunk of time must have passed, what with all the fun being had. "I think I'd better be going! I have to sit for a studio class tomorrow morning." He dug into his jacket pocket for his phone, popping open his contacts and then handing it to Nika. "Can I get your numbers? We gotta keep in touch."
Covet: "Of course no problem, happy to give it to you." Nika said putting her number in then handed it to Freedom. "It was really great to meet you, I didn't realize it'd gotten so late as well. This place will do that to you" She smiled in a friendly manner.
Everender: ((it's nearly 4am here. x_x I gottttta go xD))
Tsaaq: ((Yeah that's fine!))
Tsaaq: ((It's almost four here too lmao.))
