</div><b>Name:</b>Matt Moreno<br/><b>Age:</b>28<br/><b>Sexuality:</b>Heterosexual<br/><b>Hometown:</b>Los Angeles, CA<br/><b>Date/Time:</b>Sunday, July 4th, 2021 - recoupling ceremony<br/><b>Location:</b>Villa Firepit -> Villa Bar<br/><b>Wearing:</b>As pictured, with khaki pants<br/><b>Coupled With:</b>Arisa Victoria Taylor<br/><b>Tagging:</b>Grace (<a class="username" data-user-id="2019" data-username="Mellifluous" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/2019/">Mellifluous</a>), Victor (<a class="username" data-user-id="5510" data-username="TopNotch" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5510/">TopNotch</a>), Arisa (<a class="username" data-user-id="7735" data-username="Mika-chan" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/7735/">Mika-chan</a>), Marcus (<a class="username" data-user-id="35" data-username="Cay" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/35/">Cay</a>), Olivia (<a class="username" data-user-id="3317" data-username="Mehlia" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/3317/">Mehlia</a>)<br/><hr class="bbc-hr"/><br/>When Victor stomped up to play the hero, or whatever it was he was doing, at first Matt wanted to get very upset, and it showed on his face, but as Grace lashed out, it somehow cooled his temper.  Or maybe most of it.  Reaching out, he put his hand on Grace’s wrist above where she gripped her wineglass in a white knuckled hand, and setting his own glass down, held his other in front of Victor in the classic stop motion.<br/><br/>“What the fuck, nothing, Victor.”  Matt said, his pale eyes flat and his voice nothing but calm.   “I didn’t say anything to Arisa other than we had a lot to discuss.  Hardly the worst to be said under the circumstances.”  He continued, raising an eyebrow.  “Now, I could be an asshole here  and say I don’t need a lot of righteousness from a guy already on his third girl in two days, but that is beneath me, and I am not sure you deserve it.  I think you are trying to do the right thing here, just like everyone else.”<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, Matt swirled the booze and ice in his glass.  “It’s a long summer, so let's not jump into taking sides just yet.”  Looking over as Arisa appeared and began throwing down shots, Matt shook his head.  “A lot of shit went down tonight, and emotions are running high.  Some girls cried.  Some lashed out.  Some guys are feeling defensive, some are feeling protective.  Why don’t we all try and take a deep breath, let things settle, and not going into attack mode, alright?”
