You got a lot of potential,

Addison Oakes ❀16 ❀ Camper ❀ Sarah Brown in Guys & Dolls Hey, I'm Addy and I hope to someday make it onto a stage professionally. I'm trying not to dream too big, seeing as I'm not that good, but I love to perform, so I'm here to learn what I can from the best. {RP blog with shiningstarshq.

Jackson smiled, “My pleasure.” He nodded in agreement, clicking his tongue. “Definitely. Besides, a little rebellion never hurt anyone. I’m not asking you to join a gang or anything, just sit outside past curfew.” He leaned back on his palms, feeling the soft blanket underneath his calloused fingertips as he joined her in looking out at the water. “That makes sense. I feel the same way. It’s hard to be away from my mom. This is also my first time away for a long period of time since my dad died. Luckily, I can FaceTime her and check in through texts, but I know the feeling.” Jackson assured her softly. Turning his head to look at her, he laughed, “I considered murdering you, but only because it feeds so nicely into the classic teenager camp slaying.” He teased with a grin. “Joking aside, I just wanted to talk to you more. Something about you.. sticks with me. I can’t explain it.” He admitted softly, looking back out at the water. “But good to know you can kick my ass. If I ever need protection, I’ll hit you up.”

Addy rolled her eyes. “Right, because that’s what our teenage years are supposed to be for.” She’d never really cared what she was supposed to be doing, only what she wanted to be doing, and following the rules suited her just fine. “Only a small risk, true, but a risk nonetheless, and for all we know a bootable offense.” She figured, or rather hoped, that that was an exaggeration, but she had no way of knowing for sure. At the mention of his father’s passing, she glanced his way to see if she could read his expression, but ended up staring instead. “Yeah I’d imagine that must be difficult, but it’s good that you can keep in such constant contact.” When he turned to face her, she flushed and looked away immediately. Clearing her throat in an attempt to compose herself, she let out a small chuckle. “True, but when was the last time one of those slasher stories happened at a theatre camp? Probably never.” Though she had to admit that would make for an interesting plot. As a flush crept up her cheeks, his words had Addy feeling conflicted, unsure if he meant them, or was simply flirting to get into her good graces. Deciding not to worry about it, she smiled shyly, but couldn’t meet his eyes. “Well that’s alright then, I guess.” Letting out a genuine laugh made her feel lighter, and she turned towards him with a smirk. “You bet I can, but who says I’d even be on your side?”

“This might sound a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I don’t really…understand why fireworks are necessary. I get that they’re bright and loud, but those aren’t necessarily good things.” She voiced out. It’s not that Saya was scared of fireworks, but they did make her worry. The things were flammable, and she never liked being too close to them. She could barely find the guts to hold a sparkler. “Did that sound too glum? I hope I didn’t.”

Addy listened to the other’s comments, and reflected on her own feelings about fireworks, realizing she agreed. "I’ve never really gotten it either, to be honest; at least not for personal use. I prefer when they’re set off by police and fire departments in established safe areas, where they know nothing and no one will burn, but otherwise forget it.” Maybe it was the California girl in her, seeing as they were always worrying about droughts and wildfires, but people lighting things up just for the hell of it always seemed like a dumb idea to her. “It’s not glum, maybe a little negative, but that’s totally different. Besides, anyone who can hear us and likely doesn’t care and is going to keep doing what they’re doing.”

“Hey! Wait!” Tyler called, running up to the girl, holding a cell phone in his hand. “I think you uh… left this on the table in the mess hall.”

Addy stopped as soon as she heard yelling, and noticed immediately that he must have meant her, because she was the only one in his path. Turning to face him more directly, she couldn’t help patting down her pockets as his words registered. “Oh goodness, I can’t believe I didn’t notice. Thanks so much, I really appreciate you returning it to me. You’re Tyler, right? Little Shop’s Orin?”

As she walked up to him, time seemed to slow to a freeze and a small smile creeped up at his features, tugging at the corners of his lips. He eyed her pajamas and chuckled internally, though he was wearing similar garb, Lululemon workout pants and a hoodie. As she sat down, his smile grew wider and he turned to face her, crossing his legs in front of him. “Thanks for joining me.” He spoke softly, even though they were quite far away from the camp, he didn’t want them to get busted before they even got the chance to talk. “I didn’t peg you as one to break the rules, but I won’t tell anyone you’re here so your secret is safe with me.” Jackson mused with a grin. “I’m surprised you were still up so late. Are you a night owl, too?”

Addy sat with her legs outstretched before her, and leaned back on her hands to better look up at the sky. “Thanks for the invitation.” She chuckled ruefully and shook her head. “I’m not, but then what else is a Summer away for, then to test the limits a little bit?” She lowered her head to look out the water, and shrugged her shoulders just enough to notice. “Not usually, no, but I rarely spend any time away from home, and adjusting isn’t as easy as I’d hoped. It’s not as bad as it was when I first got here though, so I’m not worried.” Clearing her throat of the homesickness she could feel creeping up on her, Addison turned to Jackson with a raised eyebrow and sardonic smile. “So, now that you’ve lured me out here, did you have something specific to show me, or are you planning to murder me? If it’s the latter, I should worn you that I’ve got a black belt in Taekwondo.”

Delta: Hey, you never know! You're still so smol and moldable, maybe Sarah Brown isn't your casting type after all. I didn't think I'd ever make the jump from ingenue to character actress and here I am.

Addy: She's definitely 16 year old me's casting type, but you're not wrong about still having some growing to do. Personality wise I'm not very Boleyn, but vocally, I don't think I'm too far off. As for making the jump, you definitely deserve it, you're Adelaide is awesome.

Closed starter for Addy

The stillness of the water was a nice juxtaposition to Jackson’s racing thoughts. Thoughts about the show, rehearsal, being away from home- but most predominately, Addy. He just couldn’t get her off of his mind. They had met at the first day of rehearsals and Jackson thought she was sweet, but never had he anticipated the space she would soon take up in his mind. She had agreed to come down to the docks to meet him, the soft glow of the moon reflecting on the water the only light save for a few lights of the cabins a few hundred yards back. Hearing soft footsteps, he turned around and smiled softly, “Hey.” He greeted warmly, moving over on the blanket to give her room to sit down.

Addy had no idea what she was doing. She wasn’t one to break the rules, especially not when it meant getting booted from something that meant so much to her, but Jack was just so.. something. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but that’s probably why she’d agreed in the first place, hoping for a chance to figure him out. She’d never been somebody’s late night “I’m texting you because I couldn’t sleep” person and she had no idea what it meant. As she made her way to the docks, she kept fidgeting with her pajamas, feeling self-conscience and wondering if she should’ve changed, but then it was too late. When he turned and greeted her, she smiled and gave a little wave before going to sit beside him. “Hi.”

Jackson: Well.. I guess that's one way of looking at things. Good you can take the positive out of really shitty situations. I'm sorry about your mom. My dad died when I was younger, so I get it.

Jackson: Yes. But it's nice out! I was playing guitar for a while but then I just put it down and started looking up at the sky, daydreaming a bit. I don't think we'll get in trouble, not if we're careful. I don't plan on sending out a flare to let people know I'm here, so don't give away my secrets. ;) I have blankets and everything, come join!

Addy: Well not always, sometimes shit is just shit, but I try to be optimistic. Thanks, I'm sorry about your dad.

Addy: Wow. It certainly sounds peaceful enough. That was you? I genuinely thought I was imagining it because it just stopped, and I couldn't tell where it had been coming from. Fine, I'll come out there, but if I get cold, I will not hesitate to push you in the lake before heading back to bed. Now stop texting me, or I'll have no reason to leave my bunk.

Jackson: You raise some good points. I'm just saying, it's a shitty situation for the both of them and war ruins everything. Haha.

Jackson: I would never take advantage of you, nor should anyone. I just think it's refreshing that you're not mad at the world all the time.

Jackson: Also, I know this is random, but I'm down at the docks stargazing. I know it's late, but if you wanna join me, I'd love the company.

Addy: I know, but thank you for the acknowledgement ;P You're not wrong either though, it's crap across the board.

Addy: That's nice to know, but I wasn't meaning to imply you would. Maybe if my mom had died later in my life I would be, but she didn't, so why bother being angry?

Addy: Have you been out there this whole time? You must be freezing! As for whether or not I join you, I enjoy stargazing as much as the next girl, but won't we get in trouble?

Delta: looooooove that confidence. So cute. We can play around with it after Monday's rehearsal and see whatcha got?

Addy: Works for me. It's totally okay if you don't think I fit though, I know just knowing and loving the source material doesn't make someone a good match for it.

Addy: Oh wow, really? That's awesome!

Addy: I may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I think I could be a pretty good Anne Boleyn if given the chance.

Delta: o m g I love that for you! But I cannot see Boleyn coming from your adorable lil ingenue body. :P

Addy: Thanks! That's not at all surprising to hear, but just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I can't pull it off, you know?

Jackson: I brought my guitar with me if you wanna jam sometime?

Jackson: No, I get that, but he didn't have to totally cut her off and have her worry that he died, you know? He could have stayed in contact.

Jackson: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Too many people aren't naive enough and are too hardened by the world. It's refreshing.

Addy: Sure, I'd like that.

Addy: What if he lost the paper? What if his dickhead friends found it and hassled him about it? What if he just couldn't bring himself to write after everything? I'm not defending him, but I don't feel bad for her either; she forgave him and expected more than he was probably able to give; one night of revelations doesn't change a person.

Addy: So long as people aren't trying to take advantage of said naïveté, then I guess that makes sense? However too often they /are/ trying to take advantage, so I'm inclined to disagree.

Delta: So I might have caught a glimpse of possible future karaoke night themes and one of them was...wait for it...British Invasion!

Delta: So this is me being proactive and trying to compile five badass girls to do a number from Six (or like, if we sign up early enough, ALL of the numbers from Six, you never know). Obviously I'm K Howard. Non-pop vocalists and non-belters need not apply. 💁🏼‍♀️

Addy: Oh wow, really? That's awesome!

Addy: I may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I think I could be a pretty good Anne Boleyn if given the chance.

[addyoakes]

What do you think of Jackson?

He’s nice? I mean he’s been friendly enough to me since we met, and by all accounts he’s talented, so that’s something. I don’t know what you’re looking for here, anon, sorry. I guess I’ll add that so far he seems like he’ll make a really good Sky, which I appreciate, because if I never get to do this show again, I’d be really disappointed if it was less than decent.

Jackson: Oh cool. I play guitar, but have always wanted to learn more about piano.

Jackson: I mean, his arc is interesting but he goes from a total asshole to only kind of an asshole. He totally leaves poor Rose to think he's dead, I mean, a letter wouldn't have killed him. Oh cool. My school only did musicals and the odd play, my drama teacher loves musicals. Well, thank you. I'm having fun.

Jackson: I can totally see you as being a little sheltered and naive. ;)

Addy: I play piano and ukulele, but I enjoy listening to pretty much all string instruments; they're very soothing.

Addy: True, but just because they had their first time together, doesn't mean they're bonded for life; it doesn't work that way. Well to each their own, not every drama department cares about doing both as much, and there's nothing wrong with that. You're welcome.

Addy: I honestly don't doubt that everyone can see that. I may be from Los Angeles, but you wouldn't guess it just to look at me; my resumé's a different story though.

[addyoakes]

Text: Jaddy

Jackson: What did you do off stage?

Jackson: Yeah, I think CMIYC was my favourite. Or Dogfight, although the storyline is horrific... the songs are catchy. Oh, cool. Yeah, me too. We do two shows a year, so I'm still pretty new but I dove right in when I found out I actually enjoyed it.

Jackson: That's awesome. What makes you relate to Sarah?

Addy: I played piano in the orchestra for Into The Woods.

Addy: Yeah it's pretty bad, but at least Birdlace's character arch is interesting. So do we, always a play in the Fall and a musical in the Spring. It's great that you've come to enjoy it so much, seems to me you've got a knack for it.

Addy: She's a little sheltered and naive, but not totally ignorant, and she doesn't take Sky's BS just because he's cute and he flirts with her. I guess I relate to her because the first part is also true about me, and I'm working on the second part, though not about cute boys specifically, more generally.
