Babies and Shit

Covet: [Yeah Though I think Steph had to step out for a second.]
iKamal: [ok]
iKamal: [ok posting]
Covet: [Kelsey and Brad are in the kitchen area]
Covet: [well dining room area]
iKamal: Mali pulled up to the dorm rooms in her 1969 chevy impala blaring her music and sucking on a lollipop. she turned the engine off and got out grabbing her bags and making her way inside. She looked down at the paper of her class schedule and her room assignment. she made her way further inside and looked around seeing some people on the dining room and waved tothem smiling"hey you guys know where room 3a is?"
Alexithymiaa: (SORRY.)
iKamal: [your fine]
Alexithymiaa: "I should be, yeah. That's the plan. They scheduled the shoot for a week in August, so I need to be down in LA a day before to get everything set, and make sure everything is ready and then we'll shoot for a few days." He smiled cheerfully, clearly excited about another shoot. He looked over to see the other female walking aimlessly down the hallway, watching her for a moment before pointing to the third door. "That one right there."-
Covet: Kelsey nodded her head then frowned. "A whole week in August. What am I going to do without you?" She asked then looked up and blinked a couple of times still not awake as she saw the girl walk in loaded up with a bunch of her stuff, She said pointing to the correct dorm room with Brad. " Hi, I'm Kelsey, I live in 1a. New student? I mean.. obviously.. that's how you got in. Sorry, tired."
iKamal: Mali smiled"Thanks" she went to her room unlocking the door and setting her stuff inside "yeah new student." she shut the door and made her way over to them to introduce herself"Mali Naak pleasure to meet you two." she smiled at Kelsey and stared at her for a moment."you look famliar"
Alexithymiaa: "I could give you a few ideas." He smirked devilishly before redirecting his attention to Mali. "Nice to meet you, Mali. I'm Brad."-
Tsaaq: Ozzie walked up to the door of Talon and swiped his ID rather hurriedly. Once he could open it he walked inside and held the door open for Pumpkin behind him. "Hopefully Kels and Brad are around. I feel like you haven't seen anyone in forever." He said before walking inside. // Pumpkin pursed her lips as she stepped inside of the dorms. "Okay but keep a track of time, that baby sitter charges extra after a couple of hours." She said, walking down the hall.
Covet: "Oh could you now? Care to clue me in?" She said starting to feel more awake as she looked over at Mali, "You're welcome. And don't worry, I get that a lot lately. I've just got one of those familiar faces or something." She said quickly with a friendly smile. She turned her head to hear more people coming into the dorms.
iKamal: Mali smiled and nodded her head."huh...oh well I cant remeber where but it's really nice to meet you both. " she turned hearing more people coming in."So do you guys know what there is to do around here?" mali pulled her phone out pulling up yelp."I searched a few places on yelp"
Alexithymiaa: "Maybe I will." He smirked again, letting out a laugh and leaning over his notebook on the table. "What is there to do around here? Well... let's see, what's Portland known for, Kels?" He asked a little sarcastically, tapping a finger on his chin. "Fights? Riots? Fires? Shootings?"-
Tsaaq: "It'll be fine, how long could this take?" He led the way down the hall, following the sounds of voices in the dining area. "Brad! Kels!" He called out with a smile as he approached. He saw a girl he didn't recognize and looked her over a moment. // Pumpkin had walked behind Ozzie, once she saw Kelsey she jogged over to her. "Hey!" She greeted with overexuberance.
Covet: "Yeah... But I mean, There's a bar, a club, the park, and there's always events going on that either the Sorority or the school puts on too. The occasional party." Kelsey said trying to make Portland seem less shitty. She looked over to see Ozzie and Pumpkin both, perking up as she threw her arms around her and gave her a hug, "Hello proud mama, I haven't seen you in forever, how are you doing? Hello again Ozzie, No Lulu tonight?" She asked with a slight frown between them.
iKamal: Mali smiled and nodded her head."Thanks I appericate the help kind of want to meet more people and get a feel for portland but I like fights they are fun to watch" she msiled to Brad andKels before the two girls were hugging and talking excitedly. she waved to the new faces."hi i'm Mali"
Alexithymiaa: "Yeah, I guess there's other stuff." He shrugged with a laugh, sending a wave over to Ozzie and Pumpkin when they walked in. "Heyyyy guys. How's it going?"-
Tsaaq: "Nice to meet you Mali." He waved. "It's going okay. Got a hold of a baby sitter that Pumpkin doesn't want to beat up." Ozzie said before going to stand near Brad. "Whatever happened with your car?" He asked. // She pulled from the hug with a grin."I wish my little pudge was here but Ozzie said I spend too much time with her or some shit." She scoffed. "I've been okay, been doing mommy shit mostly. I miss hanging out with my friends though. But I gues I have responsibilities. She looked to the female and nodded. "Whats up."
Covet: "Oh that's always good. I've been pretty lucky on the babysitter front." Kelsey said, "But I can imagine the struggle, there's few people I'd leave Conner with. I've missed having you around too, however it's great that you're taking the responsibilities so well, and even better that you're getting away for some adult time."  She said, moving to sit down at the table, pushing back another fleeting yawn the more she woke up.
iKamal: Mali watched the friends conversate and nodded her head"you too I dont think I got your name." she knew nothing about babies other then how annoying her little sister was when she was a baby.
Alexithymiaa: -Brad's face immediately fell at the mention of his car, still very obviously upset that Ben had run into it. "My car is okay, thank god. I think we'd have a real big problem if that guy had actually damaged it."-
Tsaaq: "I'm Ozzie, this is Katie-" He looked over introduced before looking to the blonde. "But everyone calls her Pumpkin." He shrugged his shoulders. Ozzie shook his head at Brad's reply. "Something's wrong with that kid right? Like how did that even happen?" // "Adult time. Right." Pumpkin nodded her head. "I feel like my other friends don't get the parent problems though. So it's easier to start back with you then work my way up." She went to glare at Ozzie when he said her government name.
Covet: "You are so worried about that, but honestly, it's got the full coverage insurrance on it. We couldn't take it off the lot without it. It would have been paid for if it was that bad." Kelsey said hearing Brad, being all upset about the car still. She looked over to Mali, "These guys used to live at the dorms, but becoming a parent kind of takes you a different direction." She explained then gave Pumpkin another hug, "Oh of course, and I totally understand. I got to play with Lulu the other night at the cafe, she's absolutely adorable."
iKamal: Mali smiled"Nice names. Very unique. Nice to meet you pumpkin." Mali say down in one of the chairs and looked at everyone."I helped raised my little sister that's the closes thing I got to being a parent Being a big sister sucks sometimes. "
Alexithymiaa: "He said you hit him. Of course there's something wrong with that kid. You weren't going anywhere." He said in a huff, glancing to Kelsey. "That's not the point. That's like saying Oh well there's medication for that infection so I don't mind if I get sick, or whatever."-
Tsaaq: Ozzie began to pout. "But I didn't-" he began to say. "Oh. Yeah, exactly!" He agreed. "Don't worry about it. She doesn't get it, I get it." Ozzie told Brad. "My name is alright. It's just short for something lame." // Pumpkin pursed her lips and went in for the second hug. "I know, it's so crazy how life is." She said. She smirked a little. "You played with her? She's a sweetie. Her daddy just lets her eat whatever she wants." She laughed. Punpkin looked over to Mali. "Same." She said a little cautiously. "Yeah that sounds hard as fuck"
Covet: "Aww, I don't think that at all, I love my little brother. I wouldn't trade being the big sister for anything." Kelsey said with a laugh, then sighed at Brad. "Your car is fine, everything is fine, you're stressing about it and getitng mad for nothing." She told him giving his hand a rub. "Hungry babies are never a bad thing, They'll grow into all their cute rolls eventually."
iKamal: "Oh dont get me wrong I love my  little sister but I bet your little brother never got into your make up and stole your clothes."she chuckled abit thinking of her annoying little sister."So some dude ran into your parked car? I've done that while driving once but it was because I was learning how to paralle park"
Alexithymiaa: -Brad huffed, slinking down in his chair because he was still mad about it, but Kelsey was blowing him off. His glanced slid over to Mali, nodding his head. "Yeah. He was on a skateboard and he skated right into my brand new car. He's lucky there was no damage. So damn lucky."-
Tsaaq: He shook his head. "Well I'm glad that your car is okay since it's so beautiful." Ozzie went to pat Brad's shoulder. // "I know but she's super hungry. Would suck me dry if I let her." She laughed again. "It's not bad, though, you're right." She waved her hand. "Wait so a guy on a skateboard rode into a fucking parked car? What?"
Covet: She shook her head as he sat there all grumbly and mad, not wanting to get him riled up any further, then she looked over at Mali, "My make up was still gotten into. My guitar was used as a race track, and my clothes somehow always ended up in the washer with his muddy and grass stained ones. But that's just being kids." She laughed then nodded her head, "Yeah I don't know if Hayley ever told you about him, but it was Ben that ran into his car."
iKamal: Mali laughed abit"What does a boy need with make up." she chuckled and looked back at brad"the hell. Did he not see your car. that is just stupid. I would have broken his board personally"
Alexithymiaa: "Yeah yeah..." He grumbled, moving his hand to adjust his beanie before settling his arms to cross over his chest. "Ben?" He asked, kind of recalling the name, but not really able to piece it together. "I don't think I know him. Am I supposed to know him?"-
Tsaaq: Ozzie furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't think so. I don't know him all that well." He muttered. // Pumpkin furrowed her eyebrows at the mention of Ben. "I remember her telling me about his ass. Super intense relationship. I was jealous as fuck, as usual." She shrugged. "What is he on drugs?"
Covet: "Your guess is as good as mine, I'm sure he was just curious about it. I mean they kind of look like paints and other art supplies." I don't know how he didn't. It's cherry red, kind of hard to miss." She said then looked at Brad, "I don't know if you're supposed to or not, But I wasn't sure if Hayley had updated Pumpkin about him back when her and Ben were dating."  She explained to him, then gave a shrugh, "I don't know. He looks different from what he used to though.
Covet: [wow that post was broken.. sorry.. x.x]
Tsaaq: ((Biiiitch.))
Covet: [I had half of it pretyped up XD]
iKamal: Mali nodded her head"I could see that" she looked at them all for a moment"yeah he  totally had to be on drugs to hit  a bright red car that was parked"
Alexithymiaa: "I think I'd bemad if he werent on drugs and hit my parked car. Not that Im not mad now, but I'd be even more mad." he nodded, not entirely confident with his redundant answer.-
Tsaaq: "If he's on drugs we should hold an intervention!" Ozzie said, as if he knew the guy personally. // Pumpkin rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Bitch sure knows how to pick 'em right?" She scoffed. "... How would we do that Ozzie..." She sighed.
Covet: "Don't we have to know the guy for an intervention to actually work though?" Kelsey said confused, then frowned, "Yeah, I'm sure it hasn't been easy for her though. I feel like I've been a horrible friend, I havne't hung out with her all summer."
iKamal: Mali shrugged"I see nothing wrong with the use of drugs to be honest its your body do what you want to it. It only becomes a problem when you  harm others and their things" she smiled and looked down at her phone seeinga text from her mom.-
Alexithymiaa: "Well he damaged my car." He spoke with a grumble, his eyes dropping back down to his notebook and the poor sketches of storyboards he made.-
Tsaaq: Ozzie nodded his head. "Ohhh..." He trailed off. He looked to Mali. "I uh... I guess." // She began to frown. "I feel the same way. I'm a totally shit friend." Pumpkin shrugged. "I haven't seen her since the last time I showed her Lulu, and that was forever ago."
Covet: "I think it depends on the drug. I've smoked pot a couple of times, but I've never done anything like that while on it." She said with a shrug then looked at Pumpkin. "We should totally go visit her together sometime."
iKamal: Mali shrugged her shoulders"I've done weed,pills,and escasty once" she texted her mom back and set her phone down."This dude sounds like a piece of art to be honest."
Alexithymiaa: "Sounds like a piece of work, if you ask me." He spoke in annoyance, looking at Mali. "So after hearing that this asshole hit my car, you're going to oogle him in front of us? Really?"-
Tsaaq: He scoffed a little, letting out an awkward laugh. "Everybody's tried that stuff. That doesn't meant you keep going." He said with a small shrug. He looked over to Brad then back to Mali. // "Yeah... We should. Hopefully she won't be too pissed at me. Probably not you but definitely me." She glanced at Mali. "Oh yeah, total piece of shit, I mean art."
Covet: Kelsey gave Brad's hand a squeeze as she listened then looked over at Pumpkin, "Well maybe with me there she won't be as mad?" She suggested then lookd over at Mali, biting her tongue because she didn't know what to say in regards to Brad's comment.
iKamal: Mali looked raised a brow looking at brad"oogle? what no a piece of art like in a piece of crap."she shrugged some."that's what my mom always calls it. Her english sucks though so eh." she smiled some.
Alexithymiaa: "I dont really associate art to be crap, but okay." He mumbled, flipping his notebook closed and reaching over to close his laptop, stacking his notebook on top of it.-
Tsaaq: Ozzie nodded his head in understanding. "Ohhhhh. Right." He smiled. // Pumpkin looked around awkwardly then turned to Kelsey. "Let's suprise the bitch, bring her a present or something. Right?"
Covet: "Maybe he's abstract art? And nobody gets it?" Kelsey suggested with an oblivious shrug, before turning to Pumpkin,"Okay, that would work. I could bring her some cupcakes or something? What else does she like? We could bring her a whole don't be mad at us gift basket or something." Kelsey said flipping into planning mode, "
iKamal: Mali rubbed the back of her neck"oh sorry I guess or something like that." she stood up and smiled to everyone"it was nice meeting you all think im just gonna go unpack and get seattled in or something." she walked off towards her room.
Alexithymiaa: "Uhuh..." He spoke as he watched her walk off, waiting a moment before turning to look at Kelsey getting excited, but he hadnt been paying attention so he didnt know about what. "Wait, who's getting a gift basket?"-
Tsaaq: "Okay! See you around." He waved at Mali then turned to Brad. "Soooooo, now what?" He asked. // She nodded. "Cheese cake, witchy shit. Uhh...." Pumpkin trailed off. "Punk rock shit?" She listend. "We're giving one to Hay." He told Brad.
Covet: Kelsey gave Mali a wave, then gave a soft sigh. "Well, she seemed interesting at least." She said politely, then nodded her head, "Right, okay Cheesecake is easy to do. Maybe we can pick her up a new CD? And some crystals? I'm not really all that familiar with witch stuff." She said with a laugh.
Alexithymiaa: "Oh." He nodded, trying to follow their conversation. "I know what kind of music she likes?" Brad tried to add, being helpful.-
Tsaaq: Ozzie yawned a bit and attempted to find something to say. "Uhhh. I know that people like... Hugs?" // She looked to Brad and gave him a thumbs up. "Oh that's great actually." Pumpkin said. "We can google witch shit she'd like, right? I'm not good at that party either."
Tsaaq: ((part*))
Covet: "Aww thanks guys for being so helplful with this." Kelsey said to them. "I bet we could find her something cool that she would like, Yeah!" She was getting excited now.
Alexithymiaa: "I'm helpful." He nodded his head with a little smile. Simpleton. He stood up from his seat, stretching his arms over his head because he'd been sitting for a while and was a little stiff.-
Tsaaq: "Me too!" Ozzie cheered as he clapped his hands. Dumbass. // Pumpkin went to write some shit in her notes on her phone but honestly in the long run it wouldn't be helpful. "Well... Good. This won't suck."
Covet: Kelsey shook her head at the guys, " How much free time do you guys have tonight?  Did you get a sitter for the whole night?" Kelsey asked them, watching Brad  stand up  and stretch.
Alexithymiaa: "Isn't that expensive?" He asked as he lowered his arms back down to his sides, rolling his shoulders back. "I know I charged like ten dollars an hour when I used to babysit."-
Tsaaq: Ozzie glanced at his watch then back at Pumpkin. "Oh shit! The baby sitter!" He said. "These kids these days are crazy. It's like twenty dollars an hour." He sighed. "And if we're gone too long she charges more." // Pumpkin sighed and shook her head. "Barely." She said. "Yeah it's expensive. Which is awful cause we're broke as fuck."
Covet: "You used to babysit?" Kelsey said raising an eyebrow as she swung around to look at him, "I've seen you with Conner, but someone left you unsupervised with their kids? and paid you for it?" She said  then looked at Pumpkin and Ozzie, "My goodness, are they at least CPR certified with a clean background check for those prices?"  Kelsey asked then added, "If you guys are ever in a pinch and need a quick sitter or just some time out, during the evenings and weekends, I wouldn't charge a dime."
Alexithymiaa: "Yes, I used to babysit, thank you very much." He stood up a bit straighter, faking how offended he was. "I needed extra cash in high school. And the kids loved me. So bite me." he stuck his tongue out at Kelsey, nodding his head as she spoke. "Yeah, I don't mind taking the little one for the night."-
Tsaaq: "Uhhh... Yeah?" Ozzie said, mostly because he wasn't sure of any of that shit. "Oh really? Katie, this is great. That means we won't go broke when we want to go out!" He nudged her. // She pursed her lips at Ozzie then smiled a bit. "Thanks guys... Even though I hate to be apart from Lulu, I'll probably be asking for some help at some point. I know me."
Covet: Kelsey laughed at Brad, "Okay I'm sorry, don't take it so personal." She told him then looked at Ozzie and Pumpkin. "You won't have to worry about a thing, We'll keep her safe and entertained for you guys. She's such a doll."
Alexithymiaa: "Hey, maybe Connor would want to play with her? Kids like that sort of thing." He spoke up, shifting on his feet and sliding his hands down into the pockets of his jeans.-
Tsaaq: "Oh thats a great idea!" He nudged Pumpkin again. "Katie come onnnn. It's a great idea!" He insisted. "They love her. // Pumpkin scrunched up her nose. "Connor is a grown man compared to Lulu!" She said before finally caving. "Fine. I guess I'll give you guys a call when I need some time to breath, or just need to go out without a baby strapped to me."
Covet: "He's a bit older, but I'm sure he'd be alright around her. He does well with the nursery group at church." Kelsey said with a big admirable grin as she looked at Brad, "That's sweet of you to think about Connor too." She looked at Pumpkin, "Of course. We'd be delighted to look after her. It's important to be able to have time to yourselves."
Alexithymiaa: "I always think about Connor." He spoke in a gentle voice, looking back to Pumpkin. "Kelsey is a mom. She'll be in good hands. Moms trust other moms, right?" He asked, looking between the two for reassurance.-
Tsaaq: Ozzie heard his watch beep and his eyes widened. "Okay well we gotta get home now and fast so we don't pay overtime fees!" He said, he gave Brad and Kelsey a hug before running toward the door with Pumpkin in tow.// "Yeah. Definitely." She went to run after Ozzie. "We'll talk later. You guys have a good night!"
Covet: "You too! Drive safe!" Kelsey said with a wave as they took off  then looked at Brad with hungry eyes. "You wanna wrap up all this and take a break? I'm kind of wide awake now."
