Shira would usually rather stay home.
Sumi has already made plans for everyone.
Freya has found a way to measure the results.
Somehow, they are still friends.
Shira, Sumi, and Freya keep ending up in places none of them quite expected: beaches, restaurant kitchens, vintage-media fairs, competitions, trips, and eventually perhaps a few places considerably stranger than those.
The stories can be read individually, but they also build on one another. If you’re new to the three of them, publication order is the best place to start.
The Friends
Shira
Shira likes black clothes, old technology, AFI, and situations in which nobody expects her to participate.
She carries an old iPod, keeps her smartphone monochrome, and has a well-developed instinct for finding the objectionable part of any cheerful group activity. She is also usually the first person to notice when someone else is scared, embarrassed, or being overlooked.
She would prefer that this last fact not become a topic of discussion.
Sumi
Sumi does not so much invite people places as inform them where everyone is going.
She is cheerful, impulsive, almost completely without a filter, and an astonishing cook. Unfortunately for Freya, Sumi does not consider extraordinary culinary talent evidence that she should immediately establish a restaurant group.
Unfortunately for Sumi, Freya does.
Freya
Freya is training to become an elite rower and approaches everyday life with the troubling suspicion that most things could be improved with timing data.
