mackfmâ:
  the smile on her face continues to grow showing just how impressed mack is by the other - without too much thought being put in to why something as seemingly mundane as sharing a water bottle would be considered important stuff . mack ponders on the question briefly , digging into her own mental archives in search of any memories that stood out . âuhhh , i remember we heard a noise coming from across the barn and it caused us both to jump and land ass first in a hay pile . i was finding hay in all the wrong places for a week after that ,â she exaggerated with a light chuckle .
she smiles so big she can feel it with her entire face, filling her cheeks and reaching her eyes. maybe itâs the drugs, or the music, or being back at dreamscape with mack, but she feels light on her feet, like sheâs floating, as if mack retelling the story has the same magical powers as happy thoughts do in peter pan. â thatâs exactly how i remember it too, â she says, a delighted laugh bubbling from her lips. she also thought mack was going to kiss her in that moment, but she doesnât bring that up. â that was so dramatic of us. i would never jump now. iâd stand our ground, put my fists up and get ready to fight. â

  she never put much thought into the motive behind the other going along with the various misadventures despite the oddities and potential trouble they could get into . all she knew was that if thereâs anyone that could take mackâs bizarre ideas and run a mile with them , itâs byul . and for that alone she is forever grateful . âi dunno much about hair but i can relate to thinking i shouldâve gotten to know him better . iâve had less than a year to know jerry , thatâs not enough time for me to accurately assess whether or not heâs a lizard or what have you . he was hardly around even when he was , yâknow âŠÂ around .â it sounded silly but who was she to debunk an outlandish theory such as hair lusciousness having a direct correlation to living a double life as a lizard person . so she held her tongue and let byul search for dna . any clue was better than nothing . mack kept herself busy by grabbing ahold of some pen and paper . her messy scrawl read âTRUE JERRY TESTâ across the top . âwe could start off simple with like his last name or his address . but then we got to dig deeper . like ⊠what artist makes him throw a tantrum when we play them over the speakers ? i dunno .â
â really? i feel like youâve been here forever. â she doesnât need to bring up how time isnât real since mackâs the one that introduced her to the concept in the first place, and ever since then sheâs rarely been on time to anything. â it probably wouldnât have made much of a difference, though. iâve known him since, like, middle school. i doubt i know him more than you do. â that probably says more about her than jerry, since sheâd got it in her head that he doesnât like her. regardless, she doubts thereâs someone who can confidently say that they know jerry well. peering over the table, she reads what mack scribbles down and a genuine smile lights up her face. she could go back and forth bouncing ideas off of each other with mack and not for a single second would she have doubts over whether or not sheâs being taken seriously. â true jerry test, â she repeats as she crawls along the floor, looking for hair strands. â hmm, apparently he threw out all the rednex vinylâs because someone kept playing cotton eye joe during closing a few years ago? â she canât imagine jerry ever throwing a tantrum but it sounds like that was the closest heâd ever got to one. â we could make everyone stand in a line and ask him who his kid is? but we leave jamie out of it to trick him. â

nellieduvallâ:
Getting her own bear makes Nellie giggle with pride and she figures they ought to design one in her honor, given all the free advertisement sheâs doing tonight alone. She thinks Byul would make a really funny cowboy, but the purple hat does look adorable on her. âSure am!â Her smile is wide and she has no need to deny it, Byul got her at a point in the night where she feels good. Just the right kind of buzz, enough to feel dizzy with free butterflies and no sense of time. âYouâre not drunk.â She returns, her dramatic eyebrows flaring in confusion, but not disapproval. She doesnât really care if Byul drinks, but sheâs also too drunk for her eyebrows to do normal eyebrow things. âI need me some âa those.â Orgy senses. âWalked right into a mess of chickens smoochinâ. I could have just died!â Her voice raises but her face lights more amused now than during the pregame. âGeez, you think heâs trying to stick it in more people? Wonder if that whole thingâs a big âol lie.â Sheâs not yet sure if Christian x Reyna is true, but sheâll make a point to ask Christian later (and she does).Â
 â sure am not! â she mimics nellieâs tone, but her smile is naturally just as wide. â iâm even better than drunk. â she inches closer towards nellie, tilting the cowboy hat backwards slightly so thereâs no shadow over her face as she opens her eyes as wide as she can. â look at my pupils -- arenât they huge? you can probably see your reflection. â she says this as if itâs some sort of achievement. dreamscape is one of the few times when she does let her pupils get this big artificially. feeling the music with your entire body under the stars is the best thing sheâs ever felt, and once sheâs in love itâll be the second. â come to a few more pregames and before you know it youâll start âa tingling. â she really wanted nellie to have a good time and feel included, so itâs kind of hard to shake off how bad sheâs starting to feel about ditching. â no, blair wouldnât lie about that. well, she would. but also she wouldnât because sheâs friends with max now. â a hint of something in her tone, maybe so. â yeah, heâs kind of like that. whatever. enough about him. what about the rest of pregame? did you hate that too? â

christian wanted to have a good life, but some people just could not let that happen. apparently byul was one of them now. the smile on his face while he danced wiped clean off when she assaulted him with her flailing armâŠmaybe he should have posed her question back at her: was she a misandrist? instead, he sighed. âwhat do you want from me, byul?â
â not everything is about you, christian. â even though she definitely is the one who made it about him in the first place. oh well. gaslight. gatekeep. girlboss. â plur -- peace love unity respect, â she spells out for him, trying not to stare at his black eye. â thatâs all i want. because iâm a raver. â she cocks her head to the side. â think you can manage that? â

thereâs a tug at his lips as she starts to grab them with both hands like a little gremlin, though any smile formed will drop at her question before he shakes his head. â nothing, iâm just not hungry. â kem responds, and thatâs not a lie, looking down at the fries. â i donât think anyoneâs spat on them, i definitely havenât, but.. you never know. they taste fine anyway. â he nods with a soft chuckle, he thinks sheâll eat them regardless. â howâs your night going ? â
thereâs a frown when he drops her smile, so she shoves the fries back into his hands and pokes her fingers into his cheek, next to the corners of his lips and pulls them upwards. â better. â then she pinches a few fries, doesnât think to take them back. â yum! theyâre so tasty. are you sure you havenât spat on them? â thereâs something about kem where she thinks even his spit will be sweet. â so much fun. iâve been dancing all night. how about yours? can we go sit somewhere? my legs hurt. â

josie almost covers her eyes when byul makes the two gummy bears rub together. itâs silly, but josie canât stop thinking that sheâs watching something that she shouldnât and feeling just a teensy bit guilty for laughing. âoh my god, byul!â josie blushes, looking away for a second. she bites her lip. âwell, i donât know if i would pick any of them. theyâre all like my brotherâs age.â if she were being honest, doing what the gummy bears were doing was something so foreign to josie that she couldnât even think about who she would want to do it with.
josieâs reaction reminds her of how she used to be, albeit around ten years ago, but then she picked up a book. sometimes she wonders if she shouldâve just stuck to the bible. â ew, donât bring up lex when weâre talking about sex, â she grimaces, finding out heâd lost his virginity was enough as it is, though she thinks josieâs super lucky to have a brother like lex. â sometimes i forget youâre a baby. forget this, then. â she throws the gummy bears into her mouth. â what about, like, someone you find hot? iâll make it easy for you, but you canât judge me. i kind of find jerry hot. â

     talia  was  already  far  too  tipsy,  lost  in  the  limbo of  talking  to  her  friends  and  listening  to  the  music.  the  event  was  full  of  people  she  barely  knew  too,  though  she  tried  to  stay  close  to  the  high  volume  employees  most  of  the  night.  but  when  byul  approached  her  with  an  offer  for  an  adventure,  taliaâs  curiosity  was  piqued.  â  an  adventure  ?  with  you  ?  always,  â  talia  smiled  kindly.  â  tell  me  more  about  this  adventure  you  speak  of,  â  she  said,  eyes  alight.
â apparently thereâs someone here handing out vip access to ... â she lets a small pause settle between them for a moment, hopefully creating a kind of suspense thatâs so exciting that she wonât notice the anticlimactic reveal: â the back, â she says whilst drawing an arc in the air with her hands. â even dr. henry walton jones jr. said itâs too dangerous, but i believe in us. mostly because youâre so pretty, and he has eyes. â she nods over towards the security guard. â shall we? â

fervoursâ:
byulâs words are background noise in reynaâs mind, a disjointed stream of sentences washing over her. single. baby fund. max. the latter snaps reyna out of paralysis, hurt briefing flashing before she blinks it away. max. this is going to break her heart. again. only she could find a way to hurt her more.
âgod no.â it hurts more than it should, more than it has any right to, to think about max and christian building up a family. âchristian would have dropped to one knee with a ring pop.â she adds unkindly, not once for mincing her words. anticipating byulâs quick mind and inquisitive nature picking up on the ice in her tone, reyna clasps her hand in false excitement.Â
âwe should figure out who it is. investigate. like that nerdy ass board game - cluedo - but instead of murder in the library, itâs who shagged who in the break room.âÂ
.
everything is heightened in byulâs mind. she takes the look in reynaâs eyes as her mulling over the prospect of max not telling reyna herself that sheâs pregnant, and her verbal response as the conclusion. to be fair, it seems ridiculous to byul too, even though things seem to be a little weird between them.
christian would have dropped to one knee with a ring pop -- thatâs a lot to unpack. she thinks to start at the very end with the ring pop but reynaâs sudden change in demeanour is enough to distract her for the time being.Â
â like kinky cluedo? i love it! â she claps her hands together, though only lightly so to not make too much noice. she pulls out a receipt and pen from her back pocket, and starts scribbling everyoneâs names down. â so obviously itâs not me, not you, and not max? i think martyâs working today. iâll start with them and report back. â

   BYUL BEATS HER TO the wallet lying so welcoming right on the ground, but with the zealousness she snatches it up with maxine doesnât even feel bad about it. « thatâs so good of you, byul, » she smiles, and a sober max wouldâve agreed. but drunk max wants a burger. « because the guy whose pocket that fell out of is just over there. » itâs not true, but max figures byul is way less inclined to actually give the wallet back to a 50 something year old in a speedo currently scratching his butt. « though he does kinda look like he doesnât miss it much, donât you think ? »
â why canât i stop staring at it? â unsure if she finds it disturbing or fascinating. it takes her a few seconds to fully process maxâs response and byulâs surprise from the unexpected implication shows in the twinkle of her eye. â oh my god, max .. youâre naughty, â she says in singsong. â weâre like thelma and loui-- ew !!! â it suddenly dawns on her that the hand currently itching the top of a hairy bum crack also touched the wallet. she throws it on the ground then crouches over it to pluck out the cash, glancing back up at max as she continues, â weâre like thelma and louise. bad girls for life. is there anything you want? my treat. â

              heâs pretty crossed at this point, a little disoriented because of the damned kaleidoscope glasses that had been glued to the bridge of his nose for half the night. âyour eyes ââââ no, unless ⊠are you okay, byul?â he asks. heâs not actually sure if heâs seen her drunk before, ever. but even if heâs a little unsure of their collective state, heâs sure heâs heard her correctly. especially when she gets down on one knee. âwhat? are you crazy? no offense, byul, but i think i weigh like, twice as much as you do. i would literally crush you on impact,â he chuckles, holding a hand out to help her up. âwhatâs the end goal here? did you need me to like, find someone, or something?â
she doesnât say anything in response. silence is the most powerful scream, after all. so, she keeps her mouth shut and head tucked in, hoping that heâll eventually climb onto her shoulders so she can throw him into the air and let him crash onto the floor. except, well, he has a point. heâs huge. it also probably looks like sheâs kneeling before a king or something. she slaps his hand away and quickly jumps to her feet. â yeah, actually. iâm looking for your integrity. â she crosses her arms over one another. â and donât act like you care about whether or not i get hurt. â sheâs annoyed but not annoyed enough to bring blair into the mix. yet. â i heard you slept with jamie. iâll kill you. you better run. iâll give you a five seconds head start. five. four-- â

âsure, yeah,â jamie responds, reaching for his pack of cigarettes without giving a thought to it, or to the fact that heâs never seen byul smoke before. he canât help but feel a little distracted â he was lost in thought when she appeared, wondering about where he might look for clues about where jerry went. the whole thingâs made him pretty anxious, different possibilities about his dadâs whereabouts always filling his mind, each one worse than the last. and with each day that passed, the part of him that thought jerry would come back became a little less sure of itself. the remnants of those worries were still in the back of his head as he handed byul a cigarette, also taking out his lighter so he could light it for her. âthatâs really cool. i donât think iâve seen him, youâll have to point him out next time. sounds like you got luckyâ most guys i know have no clue what theyâre doing with that romance stuff.â jamie came a little closer and lit up byulâs cigarette before taking another drag from his own.
first awesome, now really cool? oh, heâs so jealous. itâs totally working. the feeling of success makes her lips curl ever so slightly. â thatâs because they havenât met the right person yet. jow was just like that and then he met me. now look at him. except i might be the right person for him but he isnât-- â she stops talking when jamie comes closer, staring at his face as he lights her cigarette. she probably thinks theyâre a lot closer than they actually are, as if heâll be able to feel her breath on his skin if she doesnât hold it in. sheâs still staring when he brings his own cigarette to his lips and she has to blink to snap out of her trance. â thanks, â she says quietly, then holds her cigarette up. â iâm going to smoke this now. â she looks at the cigarette, then to jamie, then back to the cigarette. then she jumps out of nowhere, letting the cigarette drop from her hand. â a spider! â she squeals and steps to the side, then looks down at the ground. â oh my god, noooo ... i probably shouldnât smoke that, right? â

every time thereâs a pause in between shenanigans at the rave, marty can feel herself needing to breathe a bit, memories of the beginning of the night slipping through all the booze and the joint currently in her hand. thatâs why when they hear a familiar voice call out to them, thereâs a sense of relief that washes over and a smile appears in their lips. they wave, taking a final go at their joint before tossing it to the ground before the other arrives. âbyul, âsup? yeah â what do you need?â they might just be a tiny out of it.
she decides to shimmy into the space in front of marty in the queue, trying not to catch anyoneâs eye. if only she had the confidence to boldly stare back at them and tell them to suck it. maybe next year. â thanks -- i hate people who push in but iâm seriously going to burst any second now. â she holds onto her crotch, squirming in place. gaze drops momentarily to the joint in their hand. â cool joint. 4.20/365, blaze it, am i right? â oh my god, why did i say that, she curses herself. but she canât stop talking. â oh, marty. whatâs up with you and alyssa? or is that totally not my business? â

   âoh yeah ⊠totally .â she didnât remember - the water bottle , anyway . but the trip she had some memories of . she found it both amusing and curious that byul was able to recall such minor details of their time together . âyour long term memory must be crazy good ,â she compliments with a tilted smile . âi just remember trying to sneak into the barn to look for spirits .â
â yep, â a boastful smile tugs at her lips, â i remember everything. well, not everything. but the important stuff. â she could not tell you what the powerhouse of the cell is but she could tell you what mack as wearing that day. but sheâs trying not to freak mack out. â wait-- â her smile falters, blinking a few times, â --is that really all you remember? â

this is a far reach from their last engagement, where only very recently prior sheâd seemed stressed at being seen bumping into each other. he didnât really think much of it even seconds after itâd happened then though, not one to linger, and he doesnât think about it at all now. only the fall of her against him, and his now useful skill in trust falls. he could just keep her upright, but itâs easier to hoist her into arms with one behind her back and the other under her knees.  â  hello  ?  helllllooooo  ?  â
the sound that escapes her resembles half of a hiccup, somewhat, but it was mostly an attempt to supress a gasp as she suddenly feels herself being picked up from the floor. maybe she actually died. except her heart is doing flips as if itâs competing in the gymnastics vault for the olympics. her eyes flutter open, and she almost faints for real. sheâs so close to his man boobs. they look so strong. she wants to touch them. â oh ... what happened? where am i? â she gulps, slowly places a hand against his chest then looks up at him. â who are you? â

â âALRIGHT,â BLAIR SHRUGS, drops them into her little fanny pack haphazardly. â suit yourself, but you never KNOW what hunk might sweep you off your feet and then youâll wish you had those bad boys that i offered you earlier. â blair considers byulâs suggestion for a beat, not one for the sanctity of marriage but she supposes thatâs as decent a reason to get married as any. â only if youâd officiate the wedding, â blair says, definitely a condition of any hypothetical future marriage of hers. kem would obviously be the flower girl. â fair enough. wish you heard jerry, â blair sighs. â always smart to empty your stomach so you can drink more, â she taps her forehead thoughtfully and breezes over that â â but nah, it just got a bit dramatic because jamie kissed reyna AND max. â she smiles fondly in the way you have to when your friend has less than two brain cells but you love him anyway.
â blair, â she sighs softly, tilting her head to the side, hand rising to cup her cheek without quite touching her skin because make up. â iâm saving myself for someone special. thereâll be candles, rose petals, soft jazz music and weâll be madly in love. if i say iâm going home with some hunk tonight, you better stop me. â she actually thinks blair will get married before her because god is making her wait for all her big moments. â are you sure? iâll have everyone in tears. crying buckets. the divorce rate might even go up because theyâll realise they havenât found true love like you, â she says. â i know. i kind of miss him. weird. â heâll probably show up tomorrow. eyes close, lips slip between her teeth as she bites down on them for a second -- this is why she didnât want to know! her life feels like itâs over! but itâs not. she counts to five and pulls herself together. she flops her hand out, open palm. â give me the condoms. â
