anita was doing her best to familiarize herself with the town, it was a lot to take in, but she was grateful to have her dog at least. perdita was a good dog, anita always felt lucky to have her. as she sat in the park on a bench with perdy by her feet, she opened up her book and began reading until she could see someone sit beside her out of the corner of her eye. “ oh, hi there. how’s it going ? ”

closed starter for @trulydevicus​ ( aurora ft. anyone ! )

walking into the restaurant, aurora let out a heavy sigh as she walked towards the table that awaited her. “ sorry i’m late -- thanks for getting us a table. ” she spoke softly, setting her purse down and having a seat across from her friend. “ did you order yet? ”

“  actually, i used to come here with my parents when i was much younger, so i know the place well enough, i just don’t know how i got here this time,  ”  eric explained, shaking his head slightly. he wished that he did know, though. he also had his own home on his mind, and ariel, of course. had she been saved ? he hoped she was okay, that he had been successful in stopping ursula’s wrath.

rapunzel found havenfall interesting, yet simultaneously overwhelming. there was so much she hadn’t seen before arriving there, it was just a lot for her to take in. “ can i ask you what you think of this place ? ”  she asked the person across from her, a slight smile spreading across her lips.

kate knew she was in new york, but she didn’t know where the hell havenfall was. she’d never once heard of it in thirty one years of life. she felt on edge in the town, with no way of contacting any of the people she cared about. kate tended to keep to herself, she avoided her home as much as she possibly could, not wanting to speak to any of the complete strangers she’d been forced to live with. they weren’t her friends, and she didn’t know if she could trust them, either. she was off duty that day, and found herself venturing into the woods, hoping some solitude would give her some comfort. it didn’t take her long to sense that she wasn’t exactly alone out there, she quickly turned around to focus on the unfamiliar presence, gaze refusing to leave the stranger. “ who are you ? what brings you out into these woods ? ”

“ you know, hales, i’ve been thinking about getting a cat. i live with a bunch of strangers and it’s just really odd. they’re not you, or peyton or sam or even julian.... it’s just a bunch of people whose stories i don’t know, and it just makes me feel so alone. this place is never going to be tree hill, and i just want to feel a little less alone. ”

“ you know, i know this place isn’t exactly home, but i think i could at least get used to it eventually. i know it’ll take some work, but i think it’s a nice enough place to settle down in. after all, i don’t think we’re going to be able to leave anytime soon, so we might as well be able to enjoy ourselves while we’re here, right ? we have a nice home, even if it’s not exactly the palace, it’s still a great home. ”

“  thank you again for coming here tonight, i really appreciate it. i just didn’t want to spend another night completely alone. i mean, i suppose i’m not fully alone since i have perdy, but it’s nice to be able to have a conversation with someone and actually get a response back.  ”

“  thank you for joining me for lunch today, alexis,  ”  kate said as she settled into the booth opposite of alexis.  “  i know we work together, but sometimes i think it’s nice to get out of there and somewhere with less ears around. i just wanted to check in on you and see how you’re doing.  ”

not having a long list of responsibilities was different than what he was adjusted to, he had so much more free time to spend with cinderella, and he didn’t know what to do with all of it, but he was grateful for it.  “  we should go out tonight and do something,  ”  charming stated, licking his lips.  “  it’d be nice to leave the house and do something.  ”

brooke could understand the other being repressed, everyone had their reasons for being a certain way, herself included. however, if sidney was going to be tight lipped about her own past experiences, brooke would be doing the same exact thing. she wouldn’t share her own trauma with someone if they weren’t willing to reciprocate.  “  it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about your past, but i’m not going to talk about mine, either if i’m not going to learn more about who you are.  ”

“  look, hales... i love you for checking up on me, but i’m okay and you don’t need to worry about me,  ”  quinn stated, trying her best to sound convincing. in reality, she’d been an utter mess but she was not in the mood for being pitied, and she didn’t want her little sister having to worry about her.  “  haley, i’m okay.. really. you should be spending your time doing better things than worrying about me. i’m a big girl, and i think i’m doing pretty well for myself.  ”

gabriella had been thrilled when she’d run into kelsi in havenfall. seeing a familiar face was exciting, it made her wonder who else would show up in the town at some point. after doing a lot of catching up, gabriella had invited kelsi over to her apartment so they’d be able to talk some more later on, and she definitely wanted to discuss how they both wound up in the odd place. after pouring each of them a glass of wine, she settled in on her bed.  “  so, i’m assuming you wound up in this place the same way i did ? without any actual explanation ? i’ve yet to figure out how that’s remotely possible.  ”
