Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) / Director: Jim Jarmusch
୨୧╼ Violet may have lived on The Strip – but she far for hypnotized by it’s glamour and excitement. It was simply a means to an end – as it was the place that had the most potential for work. She had a child to take care of in an unforgiving wasteland. Making sure Beatrice had as happy and healthy life she could was of most importance.
One could easily tell by scent alone that the man before Violet was intoxicated. Not uncommon for those who found themselves in New Vegas. A city that offered temptation of a pre-war silver platter. Yet she did not have the luxury of indulging in such things. People depended on her, and she could not allow herself of falling into the rabbit hole of debauchery.
“Don’t fret.” Pink lips curved upwards into a polite smile. “Yes, welcome to Very Fine Details! Your one stop shop for all your repair needs.” The moment he slid the paper across the counter, she knew exactly what he was there for. Yet she could not deny the heat rise in her cheeks when he called her, darlin’. Barely a moment past and she signed her signature to obtain the parts she ordered. “Are you alright? You seem a bit unsteady. Would you like something to drink? The temperature is scorching – even more so than usual.” Honestly, she was worried about the state of him. In good conscience, she could not allow him to continue on his way without water.

[ 𝟛 ] —- - It wasn't every day that Wolf drank on the job. Mixing business & pleasure wasn't something that he found interest in; always keeping the two separate. It was difficult not make an exception in Vegas, though. After all, the drop off point wasn't very far—it's not like much could happen in-between walking from the bar to his destination. It was rare for trouble to brew, with House's robots always keeping a watchful eye.
After a few rounds at the Tops, he was a bit unsteady as he strolled into Violet's dwelling, trying his best not to drop her package. After managing to set it on the counter, he rummaged through his rucksack, looking for the delivery slip.
〝Hey, sorry, 'bout that—〞Wolf hoped it wasn't too obvious how much he'd been drinking, opening his mouth. 〝Violet Baudelaire, right?〞
Once the piece of paper was procured, he slid it across the counter, along with a pen. Leaning on the wood was probably the only thing keeping him from stumbling around & making a fool of himself.
〝Just need your signature, & I'll be outta your hair, Darlin'.〞
୨୧╼ It was rare that Violet was offered a reprieve from the atrocities that tortured the world. Sometimes she felt as if she were on the outside looking in – separate from those around her. In all this chaos she had to admit, she was not surprised that the first kindred soul she had met in quite some time was at a bookstore. Regrettably for them both, in front of the self-help isle.
Violet could not help but be anxious about Nell’s arrival. As she could not recall the last time, she invited someone over for enjoyment. Especially someone so pretty and interesting. She wanted to make a good impression and felt like it had to be flawless. So, she decided it was best to set up their date was in the library. There were shelves stuffed with books on a variety of subjects and luxe but well-loved furniture was strewn about. By the lit fireplace was a sprawled-out blanket. Covered with an eclectic assortment of Chinese food.
“Ever since I was a child, I always felt safest surrounded by books. My parents always said that well-read people are less likely to be evil. I thought you may enjoy to see my inner sanctum.” Violet made her way over to the blanket, “I hope you do not mind. I always loved picnics. Please, sit down and make yourself comfortable. Do you require a pillow?” With a gentle smile she made her way to a small bar in the corner of the room. “May I get you something to drink? Wine? Beer? I also have a plethora of non-alcoholic beverage if you so choose.”
@hauntsher ୨୧ starter call.
good morning my loves! today i have an early morning visit to the chiropractor to help lessen the pain in my ankle and back. In both areas I have permanent soft tissue damage from getting hit by a car in a cross walk from like 15 years ago. These parts of me generally are always uncomfortable, but sometimes it causes me a tremendous amount of pain. idk why it fluctuates like that. but your girl has been hurting lately - and i hope the chiropractor helps.
but i am hoping to go to the gym early so i'll be able to curl up by my computer while i still have energy. and be able to write starters & responses. thank you for your patience!
but also i hope you have an amazing day. you are an absolute star, whose shine makes the sky brighter and more beautiful.
