Tutoring Sollux @ The Corner Cafe (open to Nepeta and Kanaya)

[coltblooded]

Dirk had arrived at the cafe early and settled in at his regular table. He had a bunch of tools and supplies scattered over the table, as well as a cup of coffee, and another box of things on the floor next to him. He was seriously behind on his commissions, both for his robots and smuppets, and he was using this extra bit of time to catch up. (Why the hell someone wanted a custom smuppet made of vinyl was beyond him, but he didn't question his customers. Vinyl was a bitch to sew, though, and he was considering taking it off the list of available materials. He'd already pricked his fingers one too many times.)

He also had Jane's birthday gift to finish, and he didn't want that to be a rush job. Most of the physical body was done, at least, he just needed to fine tune some of the coding. (He wasn't going to let Jane end up with another abomination like Lil' Hal.)

He dropped the finished smuppet in the box on the floor, then leaned back in his chair and rubbed at his eyes under his shades. Maybe not sleeping was finally starting to catch up with him... He downed the rest of his coffee. No time for a break. He needed to finish at least one more order before Sollux arrived for his tutoring.

Jake, Jane, and the Tunnel of Repressed Emotion | Closed to Jake and Dirk

[mustachioedmaiden]

Jane was panicking, her emotions a million places at once and her heart in her throat. She knew that she should just calm down. After all, this was just Jake. It shouldn't be any different than a walk through campus, right? But her chest's hammering told a different tale, and her fingertips were close to shaking as she handed her bear to Dirk, eyes giving one last plea for help she knew she wouldn't receive. She'd known the man was into weird shit, but who would have known that he was a sadist to boot. Her hair almost seemed to stand on end as her arm looped with Jake's own, and she took a slow, gathering breath, working to calm himself. "An adventure." she agreed, chancing a glance up to him as she gave a small nod. "This should be fun!" 

Lord help her.

Central Park || Closed to Dave

[bl1nd_just1c3]

With Spring Fever invading the city, the council had decided to host a small gathering at the park near the fountain. The cement pathways were closed off to those participating in the Spring event which was chalk drawings. The city council thought it would be nice to brighten up everyone's days especially those who went to the park to see colorful displays of art from as many people as they could. Kids from as young as three to adults as old as Sixty were coming out to draw something on the large canvas on the ground. It was a pleasant event, especially after the recent monster attacks and random vigilantes roaming the city. The strange events were starting to unnerve a lot of life long residents of the city.

Terezi was one of those participants. Chalk was her favorite art media to use even since she was girl but hadn't picked up the stuff since Middle School. She had bought a fresh pack of colorful chalk to celebrate the rebirth of her style. Which wasn't much of a style due to her visual impairment. Regardless, it was going to be fun and delicious.

She walked along the grass, her red and white cane tapping the ground as she searched for an empty spot of pavement. A few minutes later she nestled near a round edge of cement and poured out her box of chalk on the grass. The dust that flew up into the air was reminiscent of Fun-Dip powder. She licked the crease between her lips and picked a random color up. With a quick lick of the tip, she determined the zesty flavor of orange was none other than orange. It would do for now.

Terezi crawled over her section and started to scribble out lines and jagged shapes that didn't connect before switching to other colors and creating what she thought was a very accurate depiction of a fearsome dragon and it's hoard of many treasures.
