A lot of the reason behind going on this camping trip fell onto Gianna's parents. She had been encouraged everyday since word had came of it. Her older and only brother had died in a car accident earlier in the year, and it had effected the girl more than she'd let on. He was the one who had bought her the first camera after all. She had brought the same camera with her on the trip, it sat delicately in the girl's petite lap. Gianna's slender fingers traced over the details of the old Polaroid camera as the car ride seemed to keep going and going. Gia debated taking photos from the car, but decided against it, wanting the best photos she could muster rather than some blurry snapshots she would receive trying to get from the interior of the nicest car she had ever rode in.

Vera's voice broke the silence and Gianna turned her head to listen and engage in the conversation, "Boredom?" she questioned out loud with a little giggle following behind. Vera was very well off and Gianna wondered if camping was something rich people did, ever? They probably bought out entire islands in their spare time, she pondered imaginatively. Gianna thought very highly of Vera, considering her one of her best friends despite Vera only having moved into the school district a year ago.

"I'm really happy we're here together too Vera." Gianna commented, taking her camera and posing in a quick selfie with her friend. The bright flash lit the backseat as the photo emerged. Shaking it, she waited it for develop before showing Vera with a lopsided smile. It wasn't a masterpiece but admittedly it was a cute photo of the two girls. Reaching down into the backpack between her legs, she shoved the photo into the front pocket, zipping it up before noticing the car was coming to a stop.

They had finally arrived. Climbing out of the car, Gianna also gave a friendly wave to her other friends. She hadn't brought much with, her backpack and then another duffel bag. "Thanks for the ride, Vince sir." Gianna said a bit awkwardly not knowing how to truly address the man. He nodded his head with a smile to Gianna as well as he sped away.

Gianna had her backpack on her back, duffel bag in hand and camera strapped around her neck, firmly against her chest. The two approached the group, forming a loose circle as to talk and exchange greetings. Dropping her bag on the floor Gianna gave everyone a gentle hug, before taking some photos of friends and the nature around them. She laughed at the jokes and quips back and forth between the boys, knowing that she was in good hands for the rest of the trip.

Hey guys! I hate to put deadlines on things, but I feel like I have to for this right now. Every CS will be due by WEDNESDAY, THE 20TH. If all roles can't be filled by then, this thread will be unfortunately terminated until further notice. I've given plenty of time to write things out. Thanks!

Placing the empty glasses on the bar counter top Dustynn turned to some of the other patrons, her eyes bright and her smile wide, she spoke loudly over the music, "Hope y'all are having a good night!" she raised a fist in the air as a cheesy, drunken dance move. Her waist was pulled in slightly by Leo's strong grip, as she rest her weight against his side slightly, her hips shifting to fall comfortably into his figure. He asked her what she wanted to drink, but before she could answer their gaze locked intensely. If this wasn't the moment Leo, there wasn't going to be another like this. She tilted her head slightly as they kissed, a small direct one at first, but quite suddenly more in a deep, passionate stupor. They pulled away after a minute, the eyes and mouth of their fellow coworker open wide behind the bar. "I'll have more of whatever THAT was." she said, laughing her heart beating out of her chest with pure joy and adrenaline.

Placing her hand on the bar top, she leaned in "Fuck it, Slide me an Adios Motherfucker!" she ordered the powerful drink confidently. It was a delicious blue mixture that contained; Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequila and several liqueurs on top of it. "Also a water!" she added just as excited, knowing that she would need some soon before she got too out of control. Leo ordered as well while Dustynn glanced up at him, "I'm hungry Leo." she pouted slightly looking up at him with puppy dog eyes, hoping he could find a way to get them some grub so they wouldn't have to leave the club early while they were having so much fun.

Regarding doing another song, Dustynn would consider it- she had been pretty sober when she had done her first song, so doing a second song would not take much liquid courage, though some of the lyrics might be lost in a cheerful slurring hum. She would have to think of another song, or perhaps she would ask Leo if he would put in a request for her.

As the two talked back and forth Dustynn comfortably pulled her legs up and underneath her body, criss crossing them, bare foot. She rubbed the side of her temple, unable to play with her hair that was made into two tighter braids. "It would be a big project, but I think it would be worth the extra effort. We could do it, no problem!" she commented about the bathroom facelift. She was usually last to suggest extra work for herself- but she wanted to show Leo that she took some initiate in this job, his business, and in general him. Chatting back and forth a bit Dustynn was lost in her own thoughts for awhile as well. The performers came one after another and with the noise you could begin to float away if you weren't planted too firmly on the ground.

At what point during the week had Leo became something that brought this lion into a door mouse?

When Dustynn had applied for her bar tending position at Club Aether- she came into it will full confidence. She knew how to mix a good drink, she knew how to get people buying more drinks, and she knew how to tell someone they needed to get the fuck out of her face with their drink when it got to that point during the night. Leo had been an approachable boss, but held to the utmost standard. Everyone that worked at Aether had a lot of respect for Leo, not just to his face- but behind his back as well. It wasn't often that you could speak to your boss as a team mate rather than a higher being.

At least a month had gone by since her hiring and the two hadn't really spoken more than a few sentences now and again to one another. His raised eyebrows and looks of disapproval as she spent her lunch breaks smoking out front instead of eating. Dustynn was often too involved in her own problems to get others intertwined in her life. People came and went too often for her to really feel anything worthwhile in the relationship department. Her previous boyfriends used her for several pleasures and then either got bored or found the same feelings in other vices. There was something about a Southside girl that put a mark on your name before even opening your lips.

They weren't worth the time.

Complimenting Leo came natural, she watched with a grin him drop his head and finish off his drink.

It was the days between that late breakfast at The Coffee Pot and tonight at the bar that Dustynn found herself thinking of Leo more and more. When she had headed home to drop off food for her mother; her first thought returning to work was to flood his ears with her spiraling thoughts and emotions. Of course none of that came out, her joking demeanor masking anything and everything that resembled "deep conversation". The Friday afternoon was spent hurrying around the house making sure she looked nice, deconstructing herself, just to begin again. It wasn't in her nature to care that much about those meaningless things, but for Leo she wanted to try. By all means she wasn't being anyone but herself, but perhaps just a little more updated edition.

When Leo asked about The Sirens she shrugged her shoulder's slightly. She knew of them, heard of them, liked a song or two but she wasn't anything close to being considered a fan. "Nope. But they are kind of noticeable huh!" she chuckled, looking back to the bar. They were a bit eccentric in their appearance and their assumed fans surrounding them at the bar were not much different. Dustynn watched Leo check his watch, as she looked down at hers. It hadn't worked in over five years but she often pretended it did- giving people the wrong time as often as they asked. She wondered if Leo was bored of sitting there with her, hence his watch checking. She hoped that wasn't the case as she spoke, "It's alright. I'll say hello when we go back up to the bar for that drink, but my attention is yours and yours alone tonight." the last part of her sentence came out as even a surprise to herself. She owned it though. Smiling and returning friendly gaze.

"I'm starving!" she admitted loudly as Leo offered a surprise trip to the kitchen. She put her feet down, searching for her heels she had kicked off earlier on the floor- her leg grazing against his slightly before finding it's destination in her shoe. She spurted out a quiet, "Woops." but not apologizing for the touch. With both shoes on she stood up, grabbing both of their empty glasses to return back to the bar.

Being stopped in her tracks by Leo, Dustynn wondered if he was going to tell her how the song was inappropriate and that she should hit the road and never come back. It was strange how wildly your imagination ran when you did something courageous in your life. Dustynn loved the adrenaline though, she felt so alive in that moment that she couldn't contain her smile. Heat radiated from the two of them as they stood there, the sound of the music faint in the background as another person took the stage. The crooner's voice just a mumble in the dizzy world that the two were sharing together. Leo began to part his lips and Dustynn eagerly wanted to kiss him and stop him from whatever he was going to say next. However, before she could, his words came out in the form of a fresh drink and a reserved table right by the bathroom.

How romantic.

"Thanks!" Dusty said louder than intended as they scooted over to the table together. She took a seat, regretting having traded in her comfortable shoes for heels that night. She slipped them off under the table secretly as they took rather quiet sips of their drinks. She looked to him out of the corner of her eye before putting her pint on the table. "You know, I've heard you sing a few times, but the crowd was wrapped around your finger tonight." she commented, rubbing her feet together to get some feeling back into them. "I suck, but it's more fun on stage than in my shower." she continued on, going off on a random tangent like she often did. "Speaking of which, the girl's bathroom needs an update, maybe some paint- red..maybe gray, I don't know.." she commented the subject matter somewhat related but questionable at best.

Taking another sip of her drink, she looked to Leo more intently before offering him a reassuring smile. "You're pretty dope." she complimented in the only way she knew how. She toasted with him as they finished off the rest of their drink in one swift motion. Now, Dustynn could handle her alcohol fairly well, but she hadn't had a full meal truly all day. She was definitely feeling it a little more than usual. She rubbed her eyes with the knuckle of her thumbs gently, not to cause unnecessary tears. After doing so, she looked to the bar, seeing quite a few people surrounded around. "Hey, isn't that, that Siren band or something?" Dustynn commented, her eyes squinting as she looked over at the men and the few surrounding them. She looked to Leo with her eyebrows raised, wondering if they should go mingle with them and see what they thought of the bar. It also occurred to her that it would be a good idea to see if someone from the kitchen would make her something to snack on so that she could continue her night without suffering too much the next day.
