What a lucky soul they'd be indeed! A type of luck another certain person would really love to have, at least if just to offset their typically terrible bout of misfortune. Elysium Beach was a fine enough place. Despite being so small, its position close to other cities gave it something of value to business owners both on local and international levels. There were plenty of food places, shopping stores, and so on and so forth that one could frequent for entertainment or what have you—including the "Star Shuffle Fun Park," a space-themed amusement park that was popular with the kids both young and older, the young as the place was obviously an amusement park targeting those audiences, and the older because they had jobs available for high schoolers in need.
High schoolers like Baxter. Who hated his job both because they made him act happy all the time to appease the customers (literally no other amusement park asks their attendants to perform like so) and because the pay was relatively shit. Enough to pay for his hobbies, enough to pay for his outings with his friends and his home rent, but still not enough to pay for gas for his car on top of his other regular fees and saving and still have more than $20 or so for pocket money. Needless to say, the job was stressful, and he was usually in a pretty tight mood coming home from work. Now would be one of those times, where the young man would just be pulling into the driveway with his used Honda Accord he bought off his uncle years ago. The sound of his door slamming shut might alert a certain someone in the house to his arrival, shortly before he'd walk to the door and swing it open.
"Haaa..." It's over. It's over again, he tells himself. Now he has the rest of the weekend to himself, and he can spend it resting and doing absolutely no work. Even more importantly, there was a big Halloween party on the way. Bax wasn't really feeling into partying hard so soon after his bad breakup... but his friends had promised to beat his ass if he didn't stop moping around and swing over so he figured he'd just come dressed as a minimal effort serial killer, like Jason Vorhees, just to get them off his back. "They'd probably still ride my ass and try to get me on other shit though..." Baxter mumbled, stepping into the living room... only to see Sam on the couch and taking it up entirely despite not even watching TV. Nice...
"Got a good show?" The young man asked sarcastically, his feet still carrying him to the kitchen without waiting for a reply. "Looks real engaging." He usually wouldn't be the first to engage his sister, but the one thing he felt like doing right now was sitting down in a nice couch with a can of soda watching whatever he could on Netflix while ticking the time away.
