[Oscar squints at the TV, crunching a fistful of m&m’s he’d hastily shoved into his mouth upon seeing the news] Courtney: That’s.. good? Oscar: Kinda, except it means they’re still digging.
Courtney: I feel sorry for the farmers, they’re just trying to earn a living. Oscar: I should’a brought that cat home. Noah: Wait-.. wait, you’ve been there?
Oscar: That’s why I went to Selvadorada… Noah: That specific farm? Oscar: Uh-huh.
Noah: I knew you weren’t on a business trip, you’re such a bad liar. Oscar: Technically, it was a business trip. Courtney: How does it work?
Oscar: Long story short.. they grow n’ process the coca, then it’s smuggled here to be cut n’ sold. Noah: I figured that sorta thing only happened in movies. Oscar: That’s naïve.
Noah: [tuts] At least it’s been shut down. Oscar: Plenty more will take their place. Courtney: What was it like?
Oscar: Pretty good, way better than anything you’d usually-… Courtney: Not the cocaine, the place! Oscar: Oh.. well, you know how it ended. It’s kinda hard to take in the scenery when you’re on edge 24/7 anyway.
Courtney: Sorry, I just-… Oscar: We’ll take a trip somewhere exotic one day, don’t worry. Noah: What happened?
Oscar: Let’s not go there. Noah: Why do you always avoid the details when I’m around? Oscar: Not just you-.. Robin doesn’t wanna know any of this stuff, do you buddy?
Robin: [giggles] Ahhpfftft. Noah: It’s not like he understands. Oscar: I don’t care.
Courtney: You’re better off not knowing. Noah: I don’t need protecting from the truth. Oscar: [sighs] Give it a rest, will you? I’ll tell you another time if you’re that desperate.
Noah: It’s not-.. tch, never mind. Oscar: Are we making dinner, or what? Noah: Sure.

Norma: You’re bored? Levi: They don’t do anything. Eugene: They must do something.
Levi: Yeah.. boring stuff. Norma: Be specific. Levi: Eating out, getting coffee, food shopping, dog walking, visiting family, fishing, fucking picnics.. you get the idea.
Eugene: Quaint. Levi: Boring. Norma: What about work?
Levi: I dunno if he’s employed or not, but Harper seems to help out as a mechanic at Mack’s Garage. Norma: Mr Clarke? Levi: He doesn’t have a job.
Eugene: Well, it can’t be easy to find work when you’re an ex-con. Levi: [shrugs] I think he volunteers at a counselling centre for addiction. Norma: Oh?
Levi: Yeah.. I presume he’s a sponsor or something. Eugene: He’s definitely not dealing? Levi: Nah, I made sure.
Norma: What about Mr Finch? Levi: As far as I can tell, he works from home as a freelance programmer. Eugene: Are you sure he’s just a coder?
Levi: Uh-huh.. I heard him trying to explain it to Harper, they keep talking about building a robot. Norma: What kind of robot? Levi: [sighs] One for his son to play with.
Norma: Hm. Levi: I’m telling you, these guys ain’t crooks; they don’t get high, don’t drink, deal, fight, or do anything remotely interesting. Eugene: Write it up.
Levi: Does this mean I get a new assignment? Eugene: I’ll find you something more exciting once there’s a report on my desk; and write it yourself this time. Levi: I still get a bonus, right?
Norma: Wha-.. I didn’t say anything about that. Eugene: Personally, I think I deserve a bonus. Norma: No one’s getting any bonuses!
Eugene: Pfft, fine.. anyway, report time! But hey, at least it won’t take long. Levi: Very true. Norma: Thanks, Levi.. we’ll find you something juicy soon, I promise.
[DOOR CLOSING] Eugene: Remember what I found? I think we should-… Norma: Yes! Let’s take a field trip.

Oscar: Hi… Sidney: Finally! Good God, Oscar. You haven’t answered your phone in days! What the hell are you doing?! Oscar: Erh, I’ve been-.. I’m outta town.
Sidney: Please tell me you’re with Courtney, she still hasn’t-… Oscar: Yeah, yeah; we’re uh, tryna figure some shit out. Sidney: For fuck’s sake! You could have text us at the very least; you know I’ve been worried! She needs to call in-…
Oscar: Tell them she quit. Sidney: What?! You can’t-… [CALL ENDED]
[DOOR SLIDES SHUT] Alea: You finally answered? Oscar: I shouldn’t have.
Alea: You should try n’ get some sleep. Oscar: We should be out there. I’m hardly gonna be able to sleep, am I?! Alea: If you don’t wanna make yourself ill, you’re gonna have t’try. We can’t be on the go twenty-four seven.
Oscar: We’re not gonna find her by sitting on our asses. This city is huge, it’s like tryna find a needle in a haystack. Alea: Well, the needle’s out there somewhere, ain’t it? Oscar: It’s not in this fucking room.
Alea: I’m not givin’ you a pep talk every half hour. Oscar: No one asked you to. Alea: Try n’ chill out for an hour or two, then we’ll head out again.
Oscar: Are we gonna wander ‘round aimlessly ‘til we find her? What do you actually think she’s doing? And don’t sugar coat it… Alea: We’re not wanderin’ aimlessly, getting’ t’know this place is probably gonna be important. Oscar: Don’t dodge the question.
Alea: [sighs] Most people end up in strip clubs n’ brothels, like Lucie’s; women especially. Sometimes they might find ‘emselves workin’ the streets as drug pushers, prostitutes; or both… Try n’ remember this ain’t the norm, she might not be doin’ any of that. Oscar: This is the norm though, why would it be any different with her.
Alea: We can’t be sure... Our best bet is gonna be figurin’ out where this type of shit goes on ‘round here. Find the drugs, find the hookers, who do they work for? Where do they stay? Who do they know? C’mon, don’t pretend you don’t know all this. Oscar: If Artie hadn’t interrupted me, I might’ve found out more.
Alea: I don’t think so. Wyatt wouldn’t have told you anythin’ unless he wanted you t’know. He knows what he’s doin’. Oscar: What the fuck is his deal? I told ‘em she didn’t know shit! Why do this to her? Alea: He can’t empathise with the trauma it causes... He clearly wanted t’get rid of you for a while.
Oscar: It almost sounds like you’re sticking up for him. Alea: [scoffs] I’d much rather he was face down in that pool, but you don’t want that on your conscience. Oscar: Don’t fucking bet on it.
Alea: Trust me, you don’t. Oscar: [sighs deeply] Alea: What goes around, comes around.

[SNORING] Sidney: Al. Alton: Hmph. Sidney: Ally… Alton: [mumbles] I’ll put the washing out soon. Sidney: I don’t care about laundry right now. Alton: Okay, alright; I’m awake. What’s the matter?
Sidney: Courtney still hasn’t shown up at work. It’s been days now and no one’s heard from her. Alton: Maybe she took some time off? Sidney: She would have said something, surely… Alton: I suppose so. What’re you thinking? Sidney: I don’t know. I’m hoping they’ve made amends and buggered off somewhere. That’s something they’d do, right? Alton: It’s a possibility.
Sidney: I think I might try and call Oscar, just to check. Alton: You’ll only worry him if they’re not together… Sidney: I’m starting to think we should be worried.
Oscar: Y’know, I’ve been thinking Noah might’ve had a good point… Ivan: Are y’gonna kick off if I agree? Oscar: You wouldn’t tell anyone if I went, right? Ivan: No. There ain’t no shame in goin’ t’rehab though, bud. Oscar: It’s mostly so no one would notice an inevitable relapse. Ivan: There’s a chance y’would, it’s all part of it; but it ain’t inevitable… I’m glad y’thinkin’ about it either way. Oscar: How you manage to get through the day sober is beyond me. Ivan: It ain’t like I know anythin’ else, I’ve always tried t’stay away from that shit. Y’should consider therapy too. Oscar: It seems to have helped you, I guess. Ivan: Despite everythin’, I’m happier now I ain’t so quick t’fly off the handle. People are startin’ t’think I’m soft though. Oscar: Bullshit. Being kind doesn’t mean you’re soft. [PHONE RINGING] Oscar: Hi? -------- Oscar: Nothing’s changed. I gave up bugging her a while ago. -------- Oscar: Why?
--------
Oscar: Really? -------- Oscar: Doubt it, not without telling anyone… -------- Oscar: Uh, a little.
--------
Oscar: No-... -------- Oscar: Since when? -------- Oscar: Yeah, probably. I gotta go, I’m kinda busy…
[TIRES SCREECH - CAR HORN]
Oscar: Fuck-… Ivan: Dude! Watch it, jackass!
Oscar: Sorry! Ivan: Where y’goin’?! Oscar: I need to check something!

Wyatt: Good morning-.. my my, Alea; what happened to your face? Kian: [scoffs] Arturo: Good morning. Riona: Come on, dear. I need your help with something.
Wyatt: Last chance saloon, huh? Kian: Don’t start. Wyatt: Well, you reap what you sow. Kian: If you’re going to be an arse-...
Arturo: It’s far too early for bickering. Kian: You can wipe that smug look off your face. Wyatt: You’re being childish. Arturo: [sighs] Kian, if you want to say something; get on with it. Kian: You better hope Bruno doesn’t go off the rails because of all this nonsense. Wyatt: [snorts] Nonsense. We avoided a myriad of problems thanks to me. Kian: We could’ve solved this without killing him. Wyatt: I’d love to hear your suggestions.
Kian: Everyone has a price. Wyatt: Pfft. Silas was always a loose cannon, it wouldn’t have been worth the risk. Kian: We could’ve framed him. It’s not like he’d be able to do much from behind bars. Arturo: Don’t be so naive.
Kian: It was a rash decision! Wyatt: It was a calculated solution. Kian: It’s not a solution if it causes more problems. Wyatt: I don’t see any problems. Arturo: It’s better this way, no doubts. Wyatt made the right choice. Kian: Bruno wouldn’t agree. Wyatt: What’s done is done. He’ll be fine... Perhaps we should slip him some goodies, take the edge off. Arturo: We’re not giving Bruno any cocaine, Wyatt. Kian: [sighs] Whatever... You look ridiculous, by the way. What do you even do in that shop? Wyatt: Network? Arturo: I thought I told you to stay away from Fern Park. Kian: He’s probably found someone to obsess over.
Wyatt: Not just anyone. Arturo: I’m going to sell that shop. Wyatt: Honestly, it wouldn’t matter at this point. Arturo: When you’re not busy networking, Ashton wants to speak with you.
Wyatt: I wonder why. Arturo: It’s long overdue that he was reimbursed for the whole Kate debacle. Deal with him before he kicks up a fuss. Wyatt: It’d be my pleasure, only you told me I wasn’t allowed. Arturo: Soon. Placate him in the meantime, please. Wyatt: Of course.

🍩🌌🌋 for Oscar
Yeeeaaaaaaa
🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat?
Omgggg you're making him pick just one?! 😩 Oof.. probably brownies, especially if they're still warm, and a certain kind of brownie...
🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?
Oscar was birthed from the orange gen of the original NSB challenge! So ig he's somewhat based off that.. but he's evolved over time and I switched out evil for cat lover lol.. I suppose the first thing I decided about him was that he'd have a bit of a crazy fashion sense.
🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?
It can be pretty bad, though it's more of a slow boil these days. Depends on the situation really, and the person! And perhaps how sober he is.. my boy still has substance issues 😐

Carlo: Papi, can I have some money for a sandwich? Kaden: From where? Carlo: That stall over there. Kaden: We’ll eat on the way home. Anita: Can I have some for a goldfish? Kaden: Wha-.. from where? Anita: There’s a fish shop down that ramp. Kaden: [sighs] You can look. Anita: Pfft. Kaden: Pardon? Anita: Nothing!
Tumblr media
Kaden: You’ve got kids, right? Oscar: Uh-huh. Kaden: Just the one? Oscar: Four. Kaden: So, you understand-.. I have five myself. Oscar: Congrats. Kaden: Hm, shall we?
Oscar: I don’t wanna sit n’ have a fucking chin-wag with you, Kaden.. say what you wanna say n’ be done with it. Kaden: Alright, I’m sure you can guess why I’m here. Oscar: You wanna make sure we don’t have any conflicting interests. Kaden: You were never stupid; I’ll give you that.
Tumblr media
Oscar: I’m not interested in whatever it is you do n’ I’m not involved in anything like that anymore either. Me n’ Ivan had no idea what we’d find in Oasis Springs, but neither of us assumed it’d be you. Kaden: I thought as much. Oscar: I’m a legit freelancer minding my business with my family, okay? That’s it-.. besides, Ames was right. Kaden: Oh?
Oscar: Whatever fucked up shit you’re involved with happens everywhere, all the time; but it’s not my job to sniff it out, nor to fix it. I’ve made my peace with that over the years-.. as much as I can, anyway. Kaden: Forgive me for wanting to be sure. Oscar: I suppose I get it. Kaden: If you’re not interested in me, then I’m not interested in you-.. neither of you ought to worry. Oscar: Thanks.
Tumblr media
Kaden: It’s not the same, for what it’s worth. Oscar: I’m not sure I wanna know… Kaden: Drugs, protection, weapons here and there-.. you know how it is. I have daughters, a wife-.. she’d kill me herself if I so much as looked down that road. I never agreed with Arturo on that.
Oscar: So, that’s why you kept your hands clean of it? Kaden: We had an agreement-.. you did me a favour in the end, you know.
Tumblr media
Oscar remained silent, raising a brow. Kaden: I was bound to Arturo by my late father’s loyalty, his death finally severed that. It gave me the freedom to focus on my own family entirely. Oscar: You could’ve left whenever you wanted. Kaden: It wasn’t that simple.
Oscar: I guess you’re welcome then-.. or perhaps you should thank Leah. Kaden: Hm, maybe.. I won’t lie to you, Oscar, I’m no saint either. I’m comfortable with many things that’d make the average person squirm beneath whatever morals they hold themselves to, but I care about my family, my friends, and my community. I’m not another Arturo.
Tumblr media
Oscar would’ve loved to point out the hypocrisy of Kaden’s career choice vs his words, but he’d never change his mind, and he really didn’t want to get involved; he’d already been there once, and the shitty t-shirt almost wasn’t worth it.
He was still proud of what he’d accomplished in the past, but there was no way in hell he’d walk that tightrope again, however much it pained him to imagine what went on in the seedier parts of this world.
Tumblr media
Kaden: I think we can agree to forget about one another, don’t you? Oscar: Easier for some than others… Kaden: Ivan will move on eventually. His daughter would never be in any danger, by the way; should she want to visit. The kids have no idea about anything that goes on behind closed doors, as far as they’re aware it’s just “business”. Oscar: [scoffs] Not my decision. Kaden: I still think you should mention it to him, a man has a right to see his children. Oscar: Yeah, well.. she’s not technically Bruno’s child. Kaden: Blood is blood, but we choose our own families too-.. he’s still her father. Oscar: Bruno made his choice n’ so did Ivan, I’m not getting involved.
Tumblr media
Kaden: Inform him, regardless. I don’t think he’d take it well from me. Oscar: Fine.
Kaden nodded curtly before curling his thumb and index finger against his lips, whistling sharply to corral his children-.. like an authoritative, uppity shepherd.
Kaden: I underestimated you once, but I won’t do so again-.. not that I think you’re lying. Oscar: I’m not. Kaden: Well.. in the nicest possible way, let’s hope we never see each other again. Oscar: We won’t. Kaden: Good.

Arturo: It’s good to see you on your feet again, Finch. I don’t need to go cutting you off now, do I?
Oscar: No.
Arturo: If you insist. You know, a little self control goes a long way.
Wyatt: You don’t deserve to be here.
Oscar: It seems Artie would beg to differ.
Wyatt: They should have left you in the gutter, where you belong.
Oscar: I think you’ll find I’m right where I’m supposed to be.
Wyatt: [snorts] You’re pathetic.

Alea: If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this life was takin’ its toll on you.

Bruno: Alea.
Oscar: You’re hard to figure out, y’know that?
Alea: I’m well aware.
Bruno: Get outta here.
...
Bruno: She’s right. It’s not the solution-...
Oscar: Believe me, drugs are the least of my concerns right now.
Bruno: It’s easy to brush aside as not a problem, until suddenly it is.
Oscar: Almost sounds like you’re talking from experience.
Bruno: I am.
Oscar: What’s your poison?
Bruno: It was cocaine. Alcohol as well, to a degree.
Oscar: Not anymore?
Bruno: Bar the odd slip up, no.
Oscar: Huh.
Bruno: Let me know if you’re struggling. There’s a support group I’m part of, you could come with me.
Oscar: You still go?
Bruno: Now and then. It’s handy to stay on track, help others, see old friends. You know, support.
Oscar: Pretty sure I’m good, but I’ll keep it in mind.
Bruno: The offer’s always there.
Oscar: Thanks, Bruno.

Hayden: I shouldn’t be here anyway, I’ll go.
Joey: Alright, peace.
Oscar: Didn’t mean to scare her off.
Joey: She’s skittish, s’fine.
Oscar: She your girlfriend?
Joey: Not really, but she’s my favourite.
Oscar: How many women do you have, Joey?
Joey: Uhh; ten or so at the moment, and one guy.
Oscar: [scoffs]
Joey: I ain’t forcin’ ‘em. They’d be worse off without me.
Oscar: Hm.
Joey: What’s up with Bruno?
Oscar: Fuck if I know.
Joey: Weren’t you with him all day?
Oscar: So? He’s not gonna tell me shit, is he? Seems pretty close to Alea though...
Joey: Yeah, he’s known her even longer than Kian. He used to protect the block she worked.
Oscar: Worked?
Joey: She used to be a hooker.
Oscar: Were you-...
Joey: Nah, I don’t think she had a pimp.
Oscar: How the hell-.. what does she do now?
Joey: The girls tell her stuff.
Oscar: Willingly?
Joey: Eh. Kian makes her bribe ‘em with money n’ drugs, so they can’t really say no. A lot of ‘em don’t trust her no more, since she’s up here. They’d be more at risk without the protection though, so...
Oscar: How’d she end up here?
Joey: I dunno. Ask Kian; or not.
Oscar: You don’t like him?
Joey: Him n’ Wyatt think I’m an idiot.
Oscar: How did you end up here?
Joey: Papa was like a brother to Arturo, me n’ Kaden have always been here. I don’t mind ‘em callin’ me stupid, means I get asked to do less.
Oscar: Hah, true. Maybe I should try that.
Joey: Nah, too late to change tack now.

Rhys: Maybe y’misremembered better times ‘cause y’were bored shitless in the slammer.
Hunter: Whatever, I wanna forget everything for tonight n’ let loose. You got any goodies, Oscar?
Oscar: Sure.
Hunter: Nice. Sharing is caring, remember... I’m ordering everyone to have a good time.
Tommy: Uh, I don’t really do drugs.
Rhys: [laughing] Are you kiddin’ Tom? Y’baked as a potato at least like.. eighty percent of the time.
Tommy: Pffft. That don’t count.
Rhys: [snickers] If y’say so.
Hunter: Hah, sure dude. Not gonna force it, as long as my buddies have fun. I missed you lot.
Oscar: We barely talk.
Hunter: Dude, don’t ruin the moment.
...
Hunter: So you split up with some sket, who cares! Come out n’ forget all about her.
Rhys: Alright, thief.
Tommy: Excuse me!
Rhys: Gah! Y’heard me!
Tommy: I can’t afford my own clothes, so I collect other peoples.
Rhys: Sounds like somethin’ a thief would say.
Hunter: Well, moping ain’t gonna solve shit. C’mon dude, I ain’t seen you in forever!

Transcript:
Tommy: What’s the matter with you today?
Rhys: Nothin’.
Tommy: Y’grumpy.
Rhys: You’re grumpy.
Tommy: [snickers] So mature.
Rhys: Thank you.
Tommy: Have y’been to Oscar n’ Ivan’s new place yet?
Rhys: Nah. Where’d that come from?
Tommy: Eh, Oscar’s brother came lookin’ for him at his old apartment. Kinda felt bad for him, why would he not say he’d moved?
Rhys: I‘m sure there’s a good reason he didn’t...
Tommy: I’d have told him if I knew.
Rhys: Ain’t really your place to tell him is it?
Tommy: Nah, but-...
Rhys: Y’can’t be gettin’ in other peoples family business like that.
Tommy: Is that a hint not to ask why you’re in a mood?
Rhys: ...
Tommy: Hah.
Rhys: How d’you always know what’s botherin’ people? It’s annoyin’ as shit.
Tommy: Guess it’s just a knack. So, have you thought about when y’gonna tell your parents you ain’t a student anymore?
Rhys: Well, I was hopin’ to be done with all this shit before I sorted it out. I’m gonna need a plan B after today though.
Tommy: Just.. stop dealin’?
Rhys: [laughs] You reckon it’s that easy?
Tommy: Takin’ that as a no.
Rhys: Maybe you know too much, or maybe you’re decent, useful or just plain vulnerable; they’ll be sure t’take advantage of that. You can’t walk away whenever you fancy. How’d you think Oscar n’ Ivan ended up where they are?
Tommy: What do they even do? Do they still deal?
Rhys: On the side, probably... I doubt we wanna know what they get up to, Tom. Think about it, the apartment uptown is a dead giveaway they’ve been promoted. It’s expensive as fuck up there. No wonder Oscar didn’t tell his brother, how would he explain that? So don’t you go tellin’ him if y’find out.
Tommy: [sighs] Fine. How’re you gonna get out?
Rhys: I dunno yet. Apparently, Hunter’s gettin’ out of prison soon. I’m gonna be stuck at Lucie’s with him again.
Tommy: You’re all hypocrites, makin’ me sort myself out n’ none of you do the same!
Rhys: [laughing] Hey! Not all of us were lowly runners. It was easy for you t’escape under the radar.
Tommy: Get your Houdini on then. Shit sounds dodgy as hell.
Rhys: I know. I’m tryin’!

Transcript:
Sidney: I hope I’m not interrupting something?
Noah: [laughing] Definitely not.
Sidney: Hm.
...
Noah: Do you like my house?
Sidney: What?
Noah: I don’t think I like my house.
Sidney: Noah please-...
Noah: I’m not sure it really reflects who I-...
Sidney: I can only cope with one child losing their shit at once!
Noah: I’m not losing my shit, will you calm down.
Sidney: You’re in your underpants at one o’ clock in the afternoon, talking about selling your house; with a beard!
Noah: No one mentioned selling anything! I’m just thinking aloud. I don’t have to get ready or shave by a certain time on my day off you know... I’ll go and get dressed, so we can talk.
...
Sidney: I want you to talk to your brother.
Noah: Not this again. You know I’ve tried-...
Sidney: I know, I know, I sound like a broken record. But it’s different this time.
Noah: Why?
Sidney: I picked him up recently, took him home... Not an ounce of his usual belligerence to be seen, even stayed for breakfast. He bolted as soon as I tried anything other than small talk though. I’ve seen him a few times since, at the hospital.
Noah: Hospital?
Sidney: Not for himself, don’t worry. You know, he called me “mum”... I almost wish he was angry with me again, at least he’d seem more like himself. He blamed his insomnia for looking so rough, but I bet he’s still taking drugs. I don’t know, it’s like he’s lost his-...
Noah: Spark?
Sidney: [sighs] Yeah.
Noah: What do you want me to do, mum? Ship him off to rehab? Force him to go to therapy?
Sidney: Try and talk to him, please? You’ve got more chance of getting something out of him than me.
Noah: I doubt that, but I can try.
Sidney: Thank you... Are you alright too? What’s this about not liking your house?
Noah: I’ve been thinking that’s all. Where I see myself in the future, I’m not sure it’s here. The only room I ever spend any time in is this one. I’ll figure it out, don’t stress.
Sidney: Hah, I’ll make an effort not to.
