closed starter for: @nickwildexx location: elias university dorms

ian’s decision to enroll in university was abrupt and impulsive, the idea being that it would easily kill two birds with one stone. finding himself in elias on a more permanent basis meant he needed a more permanent residence and howl being MIA meant he couldn’t go back to his old training schedule - so school seemed to tick both of those boxes. he could learn a little bit about practical conjuration and he didn’t have to beg barley to move back in and disrupting his current situation again.

after all, he was hyper aware of just how often he asked barley to change things on his behalf.

he had made the drive to new mushroomton and back with a carload of his things, finally accepting his commute and hotel stays as a thing of the past upon accepting the manager position at work. he pulled up the email with his dorm assignment on his phone, balanced his duffle bag atop his rolling suitcase, and made his way to the second floor.

once he reached room 212, he knocked twice ( mainly for courtesy ) before opening the door, knowing he would have a roommate who may or may not be behind the door. what he hadn’t expected, however, was for his side of the room to be filled with his roommate’s things. in fact, he almost couldn’t tell what side of the room was meant to be his.

“ uh, hi, ” he said nervously as he looked to the guy sitting at one of the desks. “ are you nick? i’m ian and, um. i think we’re roommates. ”

#bestie you dont have to match this im just laying down some backstory lmao #{ thread | nick wilde }

ian offered an understanding nod. the glitch was getting bad again. he didn’t know too much about it, but he remembered seeing it the last time it had gotten bad. he took a seat next to his friend and tried to think of something reassuring to say, but he couldn’t imagine how scared they were.

“ were you driving ? ” he asked softly, unsure if he actually wanted the answer. clearly they were okay, but ... he shook his head, waving off the question. that was too scary to think about.

“ do you have any idea what’s causing it? like ... is there a way to stop it ? ”

ೃ⁀➷

Vanellope managed a grin, ripping the end of the straw wrapper and plunging it into her cup.

“My glitch is getting bad again,” they finally explained, fighting back tears. Two years ago, Vanellope’s glitch was volatile, incredibly unpredictable, sending them crashing to the floor as they simply stopped existing for a moment. Slowly, they’d gotten control of it, shoving it deep down inside herself as Vanellope adapted to the real world.

But lately…

“I almost fell from my car the other night,” Vanellope said softly. “I glitched and almost went right out the bottom of it.”

cass raised an eyebrow. “nothing’s bothering me, this is just my face. also, if it was, i don’t think i’d be asking the twelve-year-old for advice.” she paused, squinting at him in consideration, before giving into her desire to be annoying. had to find entertainment somewhere. “are you even old enough to drink, kid?”

━☆ﾟ.*

it wasn’t the first time someone’s made a dig at ian’s age - it wasn’t even the first time it was done at this bar - so his laugh was genuine as he pulled a straw out of the front of his apron and dropped it on the table, rebuttal at the ready. “ i’m twenty three ... and the manager. so what can i get you ? ”

“ … i need to find a new comfort food spot if you’re working here everyday, mr manager. ” she picked up a cold cheese stick and dropped it back on the plate with a sad plop. “ but … i would love a cranberry juice. and i’m good, thanks, ” she said pointedly.

━☆ﾟ.*

“ hey, i don’t want you to leave on my account, ” ian said quickly, hoping he wasn’t overstepping in his offer. grabbing a glass from behind the bar, he filled it with ice and cranberry juice before walking it to her and setting it down. there was every indication that meg wasn’t looking for company right now, but in a strike of boldness he slide in the booth across from her anyway. “ lighter topics, then, ” he insisted with a nod. “ what’s your favorite movie that’s come out in the past six months ? ”

“that obvious, huh?” he questioned with a grin, “hope some good advice comes with that drink.”

━☆ﾟ.*

ian offered a shrug and a shy smile, a small admittance that yeah - maybe it was a little obvious. but who was he to say that to a customer ? “ i can offer advice, but can’t promise it’ll be any good. remind me what you’re drinking, again ? i’ll grab you a refill. ”

ian offered a small smile and a nod of understanding as he reached under the bar to grab a new glass. the tavern was quiet for now - had been all night, to some degree - so spending his break with a little conversation almost sounded ... nice ? what a strange phenomenon.

“ oh, i mean - don’t worry about it ! i wouldn’t offer if i minded. ” he filled the glass with cherry cola, per their request, and grabbed a water bottle for himself before rounding the bar and sitting down across from them. “ here, ” he said as he set down the glass and pulled a straw out of his apron pocket. “ now what’s going on ? ”

ೃ⁀➷

“A cherry cola would hit the spot right now,” Van admitted, dropping their forehead onto their hands.

“I don’t want to take up your whole break with my woes, though!” She called after Ian, guilt rushing up into her chest.

“ i do know that, ” ian confirmed, a small smile gracing his lips as he remembered a simpler time when they were kids. a certain memory stuck where their mom took them out to dinner and ian watched on as barley flipped through a sticker book. they got in trouble for putting one on the side of the booth and ian found himself putting stickers on his water bottles in adulthood as a result. “ what do we have today ? ”

this wasn’t exactly ian’s scene. he was glad that he came, sure - but it was hard to ignore that he felt out of place. everyone was dressed up in ways he couldn’t pull off on such short notice and had dates to match. running into logan as he was coming back from the kitchens, ian couldn’t help but laugh when he called him out on it right away. his friend’s all seemed to know him well.

“ what’s up, buddy ? ” he asked in friendly greeting as he pat logan’s shoulder with his free hand. “ i, uh, wasn’t supposed to. my coworker convinced me to close the tavern so we could all come ... that’ll be a fun conversation tomorrow. ” it was only then that he processed exactly what he had done as his first order of manager business, making him cringe. “ anyway - how’ve you been ? ”

Logan was doing his best to stick to the walls of the ballroom. He had no idea why he’d actually come other than he didn’t want to be home and well, maybe he wanted to be away from the darker parts of his life for a night. It’s how he bumped into Ian, one of the very few people he tolerated. He smiled as he took a treat off the guy’s plate. “Ian. Didn’t think you’d come to this.”

ian was on the hunt for something to eat when he spotted meg lingering by an otherwise empty table, drink in hand. his brain automatically recognized the situation as a potential quiet pocket in such a large and boisterous room, leading him to weave his way through the crowd to reach her.

“ how do you feel about some company ? ” he asked with a small smile as pulled out a chair, sighing a little as he sat down. there were times when events like this were a little overwhelming for ian, but there was something about sitting at a quiet table in an otherwise busy environment that made him feel separate enough from the festivities to calm down. he’d have to thank her (or apologize - god, was he intruding ?) for the opportunity. “ i, uh - just need a minute ... do you know where they’re serving food ? ”

it didn’t take much convincing for the owner of mantercorn tavern to let the entire staff have the night off, considering everyone who had ever stepped foot in elias seemed to be at this ball tonight. a couple dead hours into his shift this morning and he made a couple calls, relieving everyone of their duties for the day. he spotted april in the distance and made a note to say hello to her later.

for now he was off to find something to drink, thankful he wouldn’t have to make it himself. he was glad to see ariel too once he reached the bar, knowing how excited she was for the ball and how working tonight was originally going to cut into her time here. “ hey, you made it ! ” he said with a smile. “ are you having fun ? ”

“ i hate to break it to you, pen, but i’m one of those people. ” however, that didn’t stop ian from shooting a look at whoever stepped on her dress before glancing down to inspect the train for scuff marks. “ i just don’t know how you’re not paranoid about it getting dirty, ” he said, making his own concerns known. “ did you watch anyone clean these floors before putting on a dress that was going to sweep them ? ”

“watch the train, watch the train!” penelope scolded as she felt a tug on her dress from someone stepping on it. “clearly some people don’t know the difference between couture and h&m.”

ian had every intention on working tonight, blissfully unaware that the full moon ball was even taking place until a couple nights ago. but the weekly meeting he had with his boss on friday changed the trajectory of, well, everything when he offered ian a permanent manager position in elias. the raise alone made him agree right away, knowing that he could use the money ... but now he had to tell everyone. at least, with the majority of the city under one roof, he was able to convince the owners to close the tavern for the night.

running into barley, while expected to some degree, threw him off balance for a second - but he matched his brother’s smile at the compliment as he looked down at his own outfit. “ do you you think so ? i feel kind of underdressed compared to everyone else ... i just bought this for work. ” his gaze fell to barley’s sleeves, smirking as he pinched a bit of fringe between his fingers. “ let me guess - penny’s entire outfit is made out of this pink stuff. ”

— ❛ CLOSED. ❜ @iandores

🚐 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── after his first encounter barley followed the directions to where he was to meet his second partner pairing of the evening. honestly, the idea was cool to barley. he really didn’t have any bad blood with anyone in town so he felt he could be paired with anyone and have a nice time. he felt he might have spoke too soon when he saw his little brother walk up towards him. it’s not that barley didn’t want to see ian. he did. it’s just that things were awkward between them. barley was never good at articulating his feelings so he didn’t know how to say the right things to ian when he so desperately wanted to. it felt like now was his chance. “ ian, hey. ” he greeted with a small smile. “ look at you, kid. you clean up nice. ” he could hear their mom fawning over ian in the distance.

closed starter for: @ohraphael location: achilles gym

*ೃ༄

there was a moment over a year ago, in light of monsters attacking the city and ian finding himself pitifully in the middle of it, where he decided it was time to take up self defense. it seemed silly in a way - he didn’t think any amount of training would get him to beat up a chimera, nor did he think he’d run into one again. but he actually grew to enjoy working out ... which was why he was stepping foot into achillies gym for the first time now. if he was going to be in elias on a more permanent basis, he was going to have to switch gyms.

hands shoved deep inside the pockets of his jeans as he walked up to the counter with an awkward clear of his throat. ❛ hey, uh ... ❜ he began with a nod. ❛ what’s the going rate for a personal trainer ? is it part of the membership ? ❜
