closed starter for MIMSY ( @nectarage )
the rooftop mixer ...
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ he’s been waiting for this moment. in rohan’s pocket there’s at least five small, plastic baby dolls, though he hasn’t been keeping count. he’s been carrying them around with him for the last few days, hoping he’d run into mimsy, hoping that he could return them back to her. he can’t even remember when he started finding them, or how many he’s found, but reduce, reuse, recycle. since he can’t seem to convince her to stop hiding them ( despite the save the planet speech he has, which is probably the most words he’s strung together in a conversation in a while ), he’s made it his mission to return all the ones he finds back to her so she doesn’t have to buy more. “ i think these are yours. “ in his eagerness to give her back the toys, he forgets a greeting, extending his hand so he can take hers and fold all the sharp little plastic children back into her palm. it’s only after he pulls his hand away he realizes his etiquette error. “ oh and uh, and hi ? “

closed starter for MILANI ( @divinctions )
da market
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ please don’t notice him. please don’t notice him. rohan is staring intently at a table full of hand drawn postcards instead of in the direction of milani’s distinct accent. it’s not like they’ve ever had a poor interaction ── really, the handful of times rohan has ever talked to milani, it’s been pleasant enough ── but she’s abrasive and outgoing in a way that rohan doesn’t know how to handle, so instead he tries to ignore her. except when he can’t. they make eye contact for long enough that rohan feels obligated to say something, even though he can’t even be totally sure that she recognizes him. his eyes dart to the table in front of him. “ wow, crazy right ? “ he says with too much enthusiasm, holding up a card without even processing what’s on it. ( the design itself is not actually crazy ── a dog in a bowtie, the same cutesy print that he’s seen on other things. “ people really just have some… ── “ he pauses to put it back down, careful to set it exactly how it was before he picked it up, “ ──... whacky ideas. “

closed starter for NAZLI ( @hcneyedsoul )
outside nazli’s door
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ for the most part, rohan minds his business. he doesn’t like getting involved in other people’s lives ── humans, he finds, are significantly more difficult to understand than sharks or turtles or coral reef fish who are just trying to survive. that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t pay attention. observant to a fault, and quiet enough that most people don’t pay him any mind, there are habits and routines that he has picked up on. food is one of the few ways that rohan knows how to extend the olive branch; it’s his go-to when conversation doesn’t come naturally to him. normally, he would just leave the handmade samoas in their brown paper bag in front of nazli’s door ── a nice gift he doesn’t want recognition for, especially considering he’s no clue what kind of mood she’s in. but he’s trying to be better about getting to know his neighbours, even the ones he just sees in passing, and so this time he knocked, and as the door opens immediately launches into an explanation : “ hey ! i just um, i was cooking, and i realized the recipe for the samoas that my sister sent me made way more than just one person could eat, so i thought… maybe… you would want some ? or not. “

closed starter for SARIYAH ( @divinctions )
the market ( again )
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ “ would you look at this little guy ? “ rohan, sat on a bench, has found himself company ── in the ways of both the stray cat stretched out on the other side, and the familiar face walking by. there aren’t very many neighbours that he would probably open a conversation with willingly, but if anybody was going to appreciate the grungy, orange stray purring beside him, it was sariyah. after waving her down, he keeps his eyes glued to the fluffy creature, fingers finding the perfect spot underneath their chin that causes the little animal to get comfortable. “ do you have any treats on you ? i usually carry some with me, but i forgot to grab some this morning. “

closed starter for ATTICUS ( @brialplots )
somewhere in the building while the resident mixer is going on
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ santa moenda is nice. really, rohan likes it here. he just didn’t expect it to be such a social place. the mixer happening on the rooftop has only encouraged all of it’s usual noise, and for rohan, who’s easily overwhelmed, he’s looking for an escape. he’s been following the nonsensical pathways through the apartments for enough time that he’s lost track of where he is, and when he finally stops, the voices sound far away, and the vibrations of the music have stopped rattling around inside his head. he pauses to lean against a wall and he lets out a relieved sigh ; until realizing there’s someone else in the corridor. he brings his hand up in a small, if not stiff, wave. “ it’s loud up there. “ he feels obligated to explain why he’s lurking among the winding hallways, even though his newfound companion didn’t ask. “ um… you trying to escape the noise too ? “

closed starter for ADEM ( @scmantic )
around rohan's kitchen counter
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ " if you press your ear up to it, you can hear the ocean. " the seashell is so large that rohan has to cradle it in two hands while he holds it up to his ear. he's always been a little bit of a collector. his shelves are covered in trinkets that he's stashed away in his suitcase from his travels over the years, like sand dollars and dried sea stars and sea shells he thinks are unique. he's running out of room, though, so when he stumbled across a unscathed, almost perfect conch shell laying on the sand underneath the docks, turning it into a gift for emmy seemed like the only logical choice.
he's not all-that familiar with kids, considering he never got the chance to be an uncle or a father, but when he was a child anything to do with the ocean left him wide-eyed with wonder. he wants to impart some of that on others, too, so he holds it out towards adem. " i don't know if she'll like it, but if she doesn't want it, you can just drop it back on the beach. there's tons out there. "

closed starter for ADANNA ( @agcrahills )
adanna's apartment
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ " okay, okay, this is the last one, i promise. " spinning his macbook across the counter, rohan holds his index finger up to the blank blue screen. the excitement on his face is clear, and he's practically holding his breath.
" just wait for it... LOOK ! "
as if appearing from thin air ( water ? ), a swordfish flashes on the screen. the deep blue of the ocean mixed with the light dappling through the surface makes it look as though it's shimmering. he's giddy as he turns to look at adanna, eyes bright. " isn't it cool ? i didn't even see him before he was in front of me like that. i got lucky that i already had my camera out ── speedy bugger... sorry, wait, were you saying something ? "

closed starter for TOMÁS ( @mundanecore )
the resident mixer baybee
˗ˏˋ ✦ ⟶ “ i never understood these. “ rohan breaks the comfortable silence lingering between him and tomas, at the table they’ve both resigned themselves too as to avoid having to really socialize with the rest of the crowd, to hold up the empty champagne flute he’s been twirling between his fingers. his eyebrows furrow deeply as, for a moment, he considers their purpose. when he turns his attention back to tomás, it clicks that the other man was probably not following the conversation going on inside rohan’s head, and he clears his throat, shifting to sit up straight. “ the shape just seems really impractical ? like… difficult to drink from ? like a weird little funnel. do you understand what i mean ? “ he sighs, waves off his own complaint and collapses back in the chair again. “ i don’t know. how long until you think it’s acceptable to leave ? “
