FRANK "THE TRAMP" TARANTINO
Location: Suburban Neighborhood
Mentions: Writer_Princess53284 Moonlit Wishes

Whoa. For the first time, Frank actually made eye contact with this Lynette Darling... and his world exploded. Visions passed through his mind, visions he wasn't ready to comprehend,. He seemed to witness something that he did whole lifetime ago, but also could never happen, but also will happen tomorrow. Through it all, he saw sacrifice without hesitation, children with loving parents, and spaghetti with meatballs. The visions cascaded around his eyes, leaving dizzy stars in their wake. Frank could feel his eyes strain just to behold this woman, this Lynette Darling, a woman he'd known for all eternity, whose name he knew only for about 30 minutes.

For fuck's sake, a distant voice said in Frank's head, I think that asshole stole my wallet.

The visions began to fade. Frank shook it off, pretending that he was fine, and grinned. "Why, thank you for the kind words. And I have to say you're looking fine yourself."

Frank put his hands in his pockets. "Sure seems a shame that two beautiful people like us haven't properly met. Would you like to join me for coffee?"

Miriam Collingwood // Location: The National Forest // With: Will Adams ctrinity866 // Mood: Cheerful

Miriam shook Will's hand happily and beamed up at him, "Then help I shall! Don't worry, we'll find your horse and have you both home before supper." She released his hand and began walking up the tall hill through the trees, getting up to the clearing. She looked to him when he asked her what brought her here, and she giggled a bit, "Guess it's rather obvious I'm not from around these parts." She grinned, "I'm from England, originally, my parents are both wealthy and come from old money. I traveled the world with them all my life, and we finally settled here. They left me the estate here in town and left to live in the tropics. I actually tried to visit them, but...got a nasty surprise and ran into that energy field that surrounds the town. My nurse and guardian who has been with me all my life, she found me and brought me back home, I was knocked out for a couple of days. It was a very unpleasant experience that I would not like to repeat again."

She looked to Will as they approached the top of the hill to get to the clearing, "And where are you from, Will? Are you a Hermosa local or from elsewhere?"

Lynette Darling // Location: In the suburban neighborhood walking home // With: Frank Wondertainment // Mood: Trying not to swoon

Lynette had to grin, a breathless chuckle escaping her lips as she looked into the man's eyes. Goodness, her heart was racing a mile a minute and it had no intention of slowing down anytime soon! She nodded at him, "It is a shame, but better late than never, I say. And yes, I would love to have coffee with you. And I would like very much to know the name of the kindly gentleman I'm to have coffee with." She moved a bit closer to him, her eyes seemed to sparkle as she gazed into his eyes, so many foreign yet familiar feelings filled her looking at him. This had to be fate, she could feel it in her bones, in her very soul. She was drawn helplessly to this stranger like a magnet and for the life of her she couldn't resist, not that she wanted to.

"My name is Lynette Darling, and I am very charmed to meet you."

Sherman Miller - Location: Town Street - With: Warren Peterson (Louis) and CLARK (Wall-E) - Mood: Curious

Sherman led Warren and Clark out of his garage and back out to the streets. "Very well, the first thing we need to do is to gather clues." Sherman said to Warren and Clark. "Why don't we start by going back to where you were when you fell asleep?" Sherman suggested to Warren. "Sure, let's go." Warren replied, as the three of them headed back to the same point in town where Sherman found Warren asleep. A street intersection that was about half a block away from Laurel's Place. "Ok, this is the place. Remember, try to find anything that can serve us as a clue." Sherman said to the other two.

Barry (Banzai) and Edward (Ed) - Location: Town Street - Mood: Hungry

Not much luck today it seems. It's alreay three o'clock and still no chances to steal and get some lunch. Barry and Edward kept walking around town, searching for someone they could assault and steal from. Barry kept thinking about the strange familiarity he felt earlier today. He doesn't remember knowing Shasta from anywhere, or this person he was with right now either, yet it felt as if he did. Pretty strange, to be honest. However, he and Edward soon got their attention caught as they saw someone they had seen earlier this day. Sarah Miller again, she was rushing across the street. "Hey, isn't that the same woman we tried to steal from this morning?" Barry asked Edward, to which Edward nodded. "Well, I bet this time we're gonna have more luck. Follow me." Barry said, leading Edward to where they'd wait for the perfect moment to strike. This time they should be successul. After all, last time she only got away because the two of them were fighting. Now it should be easy to steal her purse.

Ronald || Edge of golf course || With: Lena

Ronald's gaze followed Lena's down to her attire. Between the skirt and the high boots there wasn't much leg showing, but it was fine leg nevertheless. He switched his gaze back to her face before he could get too excited, but she was already turning away.
"Wait!" Ronald exclaimed as Lena began walking towards the woods. "Maybe if you're off duty, you'd like to do something else while we wait for the mayor to get back to me?" His mind raced as he tried to think of something that Lena would agree to and that would be less boring for him than walking through that godawful forest. He couldn't understand why a beautiful girl like Lena would waste her time in the woods with no one to admire her.
"Perhaps you'd like to take a walk through town instead? There are... erm... dog walkers! We could make sure the dog walkers are treating their dogs well! After all, you spend almost all your time in the woods, but who's keeping an eye on the domestic animals in town? And I think there's a pet store around here somewhere, we could check that out."
And, Ronald thought to himself, there are restaurants in town, and if Lena saw one she liked and expressed hunger - bam! A romantic lunch date!

Simba || Location: street || With: Callum

Simba narrowed his eyes at Yvette as she looked down at him snootily on her way past. He didn't know why his uncle was interested in a woman like that. The way she'd blown a kiss at him? Yuck! She flirted in such a smug way, it made him cringe.

"Who was that grump?" He asked Callum once she was gone. "Why are you having dinner with her? Are you dating her?!" He sniggered at the idea, and then suddenly sobered up as he realised something, "Oh! If you speak to my father, please don't tell him you saw me in town! I'm supposed to be learning about the Pride Lands business right now but I got bored. I'll get in trouble if he knows I ran off to have fun. You won't tell him, will you?" He looked up at his uncle imploringly.

FRANK "THE TRAMP" TARANTINO
Location: Suburban Neighborhood
Mentions: Moonlit Wishes

"Frank Tarantino," the Tramp said.

He reached for Lynette's hand and gently kissed the back of it. This was sort of his go-to move to get girls - his own brand of charm. Despite his haggard appearance, his gentlemanly behavior implied a hidden layer, which girls tended to go crazy for. But something about it this time... when Frank kissed Lynette's hand, electric sparks seemed to course through Frank's face. For a brief, borderline creepy moment, Frank just kinda wanted to stay there, just to be holding Lynette's hand in his, and pressing his lips against her in some way. He wanted to just kiss his way up her arm and just lay one on her. He felt his heart seize and every muscle in his body pump to do it.

Okay, now's not the time to get all overwhelmed by these feelings. Frank didn't have his wallet, so he couldn't actually buy this lady coffee... but it wasn't like he could back off now. He certainly didn't want to.

For a second, Frank considered taking her to Tony's. Then he almost instantly felt disgust at the idea. No. He wasn't going to make his first date with this lovely girl also take place with some sort of insincere apology to Tony. Where else?

Ugh. Starway Diner.

"I know just the place," Frank said without taking a beat. Second move: he offered his arm for Lynette to take.

Except usually, his heart isn't playing a drum solo on his ribcage. This was all... very new.

Spoiler: Starway Diner

I just kinda made this place up. It's the diner where Peggy works.

Doug Carlson / / Location: Doug's pet grooming service / / With: Marley BellePotter_Stormcloud / / Mood: Relieved

Doug instantly set to work when she gave him the okay. He never touched a lady without her permission, especially if I was going to be doing first aid because sometimes that would hurt while he was cleaning the wound. Her words sparked something in him, should he know her? Had they met before? He quickly shook the notion off because he remembered everyone he met so they couldn't have met before. "I am very positive that we have never met," Doug stated in a matter of fact way as he started to clean and disinfect the area, "I remember everyone I meet. I do know you now though! Ms. Marley who is very brave and rescues cute dogs off the street." He smiled up at her briefly before turning back to the task at hand. Doug worked diligently and quickly, making sure that every inch of her forearm was cleaned and prepared for him to dress it. After no more than 4 minutes he was done and Marley's arm was very overly gauzed and taped. A few band-aids probably would have been fine, but Doug never did anything halfway. Pleased with his work he set out a pain killer and went to grab a little glass of water. "Okay Ms. Marley, you can take this and the hurting should be much less very soon! I will clean up and go and finish making your dog beautiful!" and with that, Doug snapped closed his first-aid kit and hauled it back to his office, setting it gently on the first shelf. He took off his gloves and threw them away, washed his hands and then went back out and walked straight over to the dog who had fallen asleep. Gently he patted the dogs head to wake him up before having him stand again so Doug could jump right back into trimming.

Spoiler: Hugo Martin

Location: Laurel's
Interaction: Talking to Eliza Landon & Bill Frederickson [] Being Trailed by Officer Wolfe Moonlit Wishes Killerclown L Larstral
Mood: Contemplative

As Laurel's restaurant got closer, it didn't seem like Hugo was slowing down, in fact, it seemed like the incoming car was speeding up. Hugo smiled to himself, "and here comes the final stretch...." he chuckled. As soon as he came within 10 feet, he slammed on his brakes and threw his steering wheel to right. The screech of wheels against concrete filled the ears of the pedestrians as the car spun in 3 complete circles, puffing dust and smoke every which way. When the wheels finally stopped, a voice was heard from within the thick plastered smoke.

"What a lovely afternoon it is..." As everything cleared, a familiar jock stood leaning beside his prized car, and shockingly, he had managed to spin his car right square between two others. Some nearby ladies rejoiced at his stunning performance, and a single nod toward the girls made them all squeal. Pitchback shades covered his turquoise eyes that laid beneath them. He was feeling a casual today, so he had only put on black khakis, a regular white shirt, and a sage-colored bomber over them. He brushed his slick wavy hair to the side as he started to make his way toward the restaurant, stuffing his keys in his pocket. It was only then that he noticed who else was there.

"Hmm...is that..?" He silently questioned. Eliza Landon? The writer of Hermosa Times. It must be, he could always remember a pretty face. Nice hair, beautiful glasses, smooth skin. He'd seen her picture in the papers before when he looked through them, though, he didn't even know why he was subscribed to the press and magazines, it wasn't like he read them. Nor did he have a real affinity for many of the pictures. The least he did was gaze at the female models, but they always had way too much makeup or highly apparent plastic surgery. He shook his head at the thought.

But this one, she wasn't one of these try-hards, but she was something else...smart. Not that he didn't like smart woman, he didn't want a dumb one, however this girl, was a writer. He didn't bother with girls who just read in general, why would he even give a care to someone who wrote. How dangerous did that sound? A woman with a pen and a blank paper, what had the world come to? However...perhaps she was one of those authors who did a lot of copy and pasting; now that was witty. Screw having ideas of her own, maybe she took pieces from real writers. Hugo scratched his chin for a moment, was that illegal?.... No, couldn't be, no harm no foul.

The idea actually made him feel a lot better, he liked the sound of it actually. A lady with her own mind was a disaster waiting to happen. After a moment, he found himself to be staring at the young lady, with a small clearing of his throat, he continued his way toward the restaurant's entrance with his signature smile. His teeth could nearly blind someone if they were put in the right angle of the sun. "Ms. Landon...hmph, is that you?" He said with a small grin. His gaze then turned to the man she was talking to, and he gave him a curt nod as well. "And a Good day to you my good man!"

It seemed he was oblivious to what trouble he had got himself into. Though, it also seemed like he didn't know what trouble he could get into. A man like him had no such worries.

"Oh, chill out, Baz, I'm a big girl, I've handled myself before and I'll be back by curfew." she teased, flashing a smirk a bit. Inside, however, there was a slight warmth coming to her chest at the sudden concern someone actually showed her, only for the smile on her face to fade at the mention of Frank's wallet in her hand.

"Shit." she muttered shaking her head. "Am I actually losing my touch?" she asked sighing. "Ah well, payback's a bitch, isn't it? Anyone wanna head to 7-11 with me?" she asked with a grin, taking a step back towards the opening to the Web, moving to take the underground path to the 7-11 on the outskirts of town.

Callum did his best to keep a stone face as he saw Yvette's reaction towards his nephew. It was hard to not snicker at her obvious annoyance, and it was great to know they had one more thing in common. "I'll talk to you later darling," He said as walked off, returning her air kiss with a wink.
Then he returned his attention to the burden of his future plans.
"That lovely lady is a dear friend. And it's normal for adults to have dinner together, just like I'm dining with the mayor tonight," He said with a fake smile. "Of course I won't tell on my favorite nephew! As long as you keep out of trouble, I've been hearing a lot of nasty rumors of miscreants running around, not to mention the Court," It was quite good how much the naive boy trusted him, it would make getting rid of him easier.

Adelaide "Addy" Bloom

Rapunzel
Location: Court of Miracles With: Jameson Combatmebro & Dory L Larstral // Mood: Worried/Stressed
​

“This does not look fine!” Adelaide exclaimed as he said he was fine, which was a lie. Panic started to seize her as she wanted to do what she could for him. She wanted him to be fine, she wanted to help more than anything, but in order to do that she needed to be calm. It was hard for her to stay calm, she could feel him looking at her, studying her, and it made her feel so self aware. My hair properly looks horrible. Subconsciously, she moved a stray strand of hair from her face.
It was so tempting to reach out and touch him, and she wondered how it would feel to hug him. A part of her really did wish to reach out and give him a hug, but how weird wouldn’t it be to be hugged by a complete stranger? Besides, if she actually touched him, she feared she would never be able to get him out of her mind. And she had to get him off her mind, she barely managed to have one friend without being discovered. How would she deal with a crush?

Yet another time, it was Dory who snapped her out of her thoughts, she turned to look at the blue haired woman. “Do you know if they have first aid kits somewhere here? Or do you know a doctor?” Adelaide did have some knowledge of first aid and treating injuries, but she felt her time was running out.
Surely enough, as she checked her clock, she found out it was three o’clock and that her mother would soon be on her way home from work.
“Oh no! Dory, can you please make sure he gets help? I’m really sorry, but I’ve got to run,” She stepped away from the stranger, heading for the tunnel she had come through. “I’m Adelaide by the way, it was lovely meeting you two,”
And then she ran back the same way she came. Her mother might have other errands after her work, but she couldn’t risk the chance that she would come right home.

As if on cue, Mikey came in since lessons were over with Delphina and her children, and he went over to Dory. "Hey, Dory! You doing okay?" He paused and looked to see a blonde girl and the tall man who Mikey guessed must have woken up some time ago. The blonde girl seemed to fuss over the guy, who Mikey heard just now listening to them that the tall guy was injured? Then the blonde girl had to leave suddenly, and Mikey went after her, "Hold on a second, miss! Let me escort you back out, I'll make sure you get out of here safely."

He then looked to Dory, "Dory, I'm gonna take this lady home, can you please find Dante? He can help tall guy here with his wounds." He motioned to the tall man, and then he turned back to the blonde girl to accompany her, "Come on, we'll walk together. But first, I'll need to blindfold you out of here. Just tell me where you live and I'll get you as close to your home as possible before taking the blindfold off. This place is super secret and the mayor hates us all, if she finds us down here we'll be in a lot of danger. She's not a nice woman, she's more like a witch actually. She hurts a lot of people in town while giving special treatment to her friends. So as a rule, we blindfold people outside of the court coming in and out of it so they don't see where the entrances are. Plus this place is like a giant maze, you might end up getting lost." He took out a blindfold, "Here, let me put this on you real fast and I'll take you home, just follow me. I'll be quick in getting you back, I promise."

Lynette Darling // Location: Going out // With: Frank Wondertainment // Mood: Left nearly breathless

Brown eyes blinked as Lynette watched Frank kiss her hand, and not once did she mind him lingering there, if anything it felt as if the world just stood still all around them. Nothing else existed around her for that brief moment, except him, and the feeling of his lips on her hand, and the warm inviting gaze in his eyes that made her mind swim. Never before with any other man had she felt this way, this was the first time she was struck in her heart and soul with warmth and...could it be love? Already? Why, they had only just met! She just heard his name now! But, she still could not shake the feeling that they knew each other before, even if it was in a past life. Perhaps soulmates were a real thing after all?

She lowered her hand when he released it, grinning before taking his arm this time with a soft chuckle. "Why, you really are quite the gentleman. And just when I've had the most stressful day, you come along and make it all better. Are you sure you aren't my guardian angel?" She joked lightly, she didn't know why but...flirting with him felt like the most natural thing on the planet, as if they had done this before and had been doing it for years. Today was such a strange day, but...Frank made it all better just with his presence alone.

Eliza inwardly CRINGED when she heard Hugo speaking to her, oh great he we go, already she was feeling quite suffocated by his ego. But she wouldn't let him get to her, she knew he was a playboy and she wasn't one of his doting bimbo fans. Her standards were a lot higher than greasy Hugo Martin. She crossed her arms and gave the playboy a wry smile, "Why, yes! Quick on the uptake when it comes to names, aren't you, good sir?" Of course that was subtly sarcastic but her tone was casual and friendly, hiding the sarcasm underneath. "Indeed I am Eliza Landon. And You're Hugo Martin, correct? I thought I'd recognize you by that fast and fancy car you rode in on. Really, everyone can see and hear you coming from a mile away. Anyway, don't let me keep you; you're getting lunch at Laurel's here, right?"

Everything happened so fast Jameson wasn't sure what to do. His body longed to run after Blondie and stay by her side, but he couldn't make himself move. Addy had been so close he could have reached out and brushed her hair away from her face for her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and just like that she disappeared before he had even gotten his name out. Wow, this is a really off day for me. This doesn't usually happen. How was he ever going to find her again? As soon as she left too many people started talking around him and his head started pounding again. The throbbing traveling down his arm, hip, and leg till he couldn't put weight on it anymore and he lowered himself to the floor. Staring after where Blondie had taken off running her long hair trailing behind her. She had seemed fearful in the last look he got of her face and his heart hurt knowing that he could do nothing about it. Why had she been so scared and in such a hurry?
He didn't need healing he needed answers. Unfortunately for him, he needed healing before he could get answers and no one here seemed to actually have any idea what was going on. Every thief worth his salt knew that organization is what keeps you out of the eye of the law, Jameson had learned this the hard way when Lance had gotten caught. This place was a disaster waiting to happen and he didn't want to stick around for the fireworks. He needed a way out of here, but then he remembered that he had no where to go at this point. He was a sitting duck.

Doug's focus was on the dog again, trimming his fur when Marley said he could just call her... Well, Marley. Without turning around since he had lost time already and had promised it would only take 45 minutes, Doug responded, "You are very much welcome Marley! I hope you are beginning to feeling better already!" He kept trimming, sure to do a good job, but moved his process on a little faster. Once the fur was all shaped up and the dog was looking quite dapper, Doug trimmed his nails and then gave him a quick once over with the blow dryer. Even though it wasn't necessary in this case, the dogs always seemed to enjoy it so Doug tried to include it in all of his appointments. He stepped back and admired his handwork before picking the dog up and walking over to Marley. With a smile on his face he handed the dog back over, "here you go Marley! All done. He is looking very much better and like he will be a great companion for you!"

Only humans from this world could pass in and out of that barrier with ease, but anyone from other worlds? No chance. She tilted her head and grinned to Andrew now, pleased to hear his accomplishment, "Ah, that's very good, Andrew. Congratulations, you deserve to have a celebration after achieving such a thing.

​

The last couple of weeks hadn't been kind to the young girl that was coming up to her uncle's doorstep. With her father now gone, Basil was the only real family she had left. She reached up and knocked on the door, fiddling with her jacket sleeves as she waited for Basil to open the door, unable to keep from catching glimpse of a girl slipping out the back with another girl. The one she was eyeing was wearing all black, waving a wallet around.

"Come on, Fidget, let's check it out!" she whispered, following as she saw a sharp looking knife on the ground where the girl's path was.

"Excuse me!" she called, carefully picking it up and cradling it in two hands to hand back to the girl. "You dropped this." she said innocently turning back to the front door again, hearing a soft sound after her.

"Thanks, kid."

Basil has finished playing his violin and set it on his dresser when he heard a knock at his door. His green eyes squinted a bit, who on Earth could that be now? Seriously, he was thinking of truly getting snacks and drinks for a house party at this rate, but damn it he wanted his privacy. He headed out of his room and went downstairs, and he opened the door and looked ahead, at first seeing no one. "What on Earth." He glanced down, and standing there was his niece, Olivia. Wait...Olivia was here in Hermosa?!

"Olivia!" He knelt down and opened his arms to hug her, "Dear, what on Earth are you doing here? I thought you were back in London with your father? And why are you alone out here?! Come inside, you can't be alone in a town such as this!" He rose and took her hand gently, taking her into his home and closing the door. Goodness gracious, where was her father?! She shouldn't be wandering off by herself, he knew this place was dangerous between the mayor and her slimy friends!

​

"Uncle Basil!" Olivia threw her arms around her uncle, eyes stinging with tears at the question of her father's whereabouts. Surely, he had gotten the letter detailing his brother's death? "Mr Dawson wrote you about ten days ago, Uncle..." she explained, digging around her jacket pocket, handing the envelope with the copy of the letter to him. "Daddy..." she explained frowning a little as she looked to the letter.

Dear Basil,
I wish I was writing on far more pleasant circumstances, but alas I must be the one to inform you of the death of your brother. In his will, he's stated that he'd sooner you take Olivia in than sending her into a foster system where anything could happen to her. Enclosed is the copy of his will in his own writing dictating his wish to keep Olivia in the family. With sincere condolences,
Hoping You are well,
David Q Dawson
​

Olivia's eyes watered a little as she wiped at her eyes, rubbing her face against her teddy bear as she waited for a response from her uncle. Was he going to turn her out?

Basil Hawkins // Location: At Home // With: Olivia Writer_Princess53284 // Mood: In shock

"A letter?" Basil blinked in confusion and shook his head, "No, I did not receive any personal letters..." he frowned and looked away, it seemed someone here in town was intercepting some of his mail. He had gotten bills, sure, but a personal letter? No. That made him feel very nervous, as he had been trying to contact his best friend Dawson via letters that he knew only Dawson could encrypt, but did Dawson ever get those letters? Basil's brain was on high alert and rushing quickly as to who exactly intercepted his correspondence letters, no doubt the mayor was involved in this, and she was using someone to do. It was just a matter of where exactly his letters were being kept.

He gently took the letter from Olivia and read it, and he felt his heart drop to his stomach. He covered his mouth and blinked back tears, he couldn't cry in front of Olivia, he had to be a strong guardian figure to her. And by Gods, she could be trapped here now, just as most of the residents in this town were. He knelt down and took Olivia into his arms, trying desperately not to cry himself but God above it was a Herculean effort. But how did his brother die? What happened? Dawson did not mention it in the letter, and it wasn't as if Basil could just call him, everything was contained within the town itself and calling long distance was impossible.

Emails, texts, letters...everything was being blocked and it made him hate the mayor even more if that was possible.

"It's going to be alright, Olivia." He murmured, his eyes closing as silent tears betrayed him and fell, hugging his niece close to him as grief stuck him hard. He couldn't even go to the damn funeral, he was trapped here in this damn cage! Damn Leblanc, damn her to Hell! But for Olivia, he would be strong and raise her himself. "You have a home here with me. I'll keep you safe, I swear it I will!"

Olivia broke down into sobs as soon as Basil hugged her, throwing her arms around him as she let the worst of the emotions out that she had managed to hold back up until now. She knew it was going to be okay. It stung, but her precocious little mind knew that there was far more ahead.

"It will." she sniffled still hugging him close. "At least we've got each other." she murmured closing her eyes again as she squeezed him around the neck gently.

"Oh, shut up!" Jayde laughed, giving Molly a playful shove. "I don't know what happened with that. Dammit, Basil. I think he's trying to play into that part of me that's wanted a family." She swore, crossing her arms a bit as they walked through to the 7-11. "You would not believe the day I've had, I definitely need to freeze out and gorge myself. That orphaned Owens kid? He's at the Court now, I gotta play my cards right or I'll be arrested for ringleading the Mercier incident, some random found a tunnel and wandered into the Court, and Frank decided to show himself while I was trying to cool off." she sighed, blowing a strand of hair from her face.

"Funnily enough, the validation from Basil was the highlight." she admitted. "Tell anyone and I'll bust you. But enough about me. How's Mom and Dad treating you?"
