“I signed my first autograph today.” Zoë tried to remain nonchalant, but there’s no denying the hint of a smile on her features. “I was just leaving the theatre between shows and this girl just runs up to me, sticks her playbill out, and tells me ‘Bessie’s her favorite lady in waiting’.  It was cute, and nice to be appreciated, y’know?” 

“That’s adorable,” Andie said, “and exciting! Stagedoors can be so fun sometimes. Other times... well tipsy men telling me I’m all they wanna do I could definitely live without. Not to mention they clearly missed the entire point of the song. I much prefer the little girls who tell me they like my ponytail.”

Alex grinned at the woman, nearly bouncing. “Oh yay! It’s pretty easy- we sign you into the official Six U.S. account, you take everyone around on your day with you, answer some questions, do a live if you’re up for it!” They were making motions with their hands as they spoke. “I can walk you through it and everything!”

“Okay, sounds fun! Is there anything specific that usually gets a better response from the fans or anything? I was about to grab a smoothie or a celery juice maybe.  If you join, you can tell me all about the account and such.”

some interesting facts about andie (tw death/loss mention):

andie has been acting since she was nine years old.

she is a slytherin. 

andie has a cat named georgette after the poodle from oliver & company. she calls her georgie, gigi, and baby girl.

she identifies as queer. she has previously bounced between pan and bi, but identifying as queer feels more accurate to her. she just knows she’s not straight.

her mother was a broadway starlet, tess livingston, she died when andie was thirteen after a complication after surgery following a car crash.

andie loves law & order svu. olivia benson is her hero.

she loves piercings and tattoos but she keeps them small for the purpose of making it easy to remove/hide them while onstage.

she is a sagittarius.

six months before heading to chicago to be in six, andie found out her father was really one of her mother’s frequent costars, peter wilson, and not her mother’s husband. it was a thing and definitely made her more willing to move from new york to get away.

andie hates cooking, she’ll order doordash over cooking at home any day.

andie and darcy met while andie was working in bare. they were close friends before they started dating. darcy helped her through finding out about peter and andie basically lived with her for a bit while handling things. they did long distance when she went to chicago, but eventually darcy called it quits. andie isn’t sure why exactly, but she started going out and dating around to move on after getting dumped.

“Hey!” Alex bounced up to the person- hopefully not interrupting whatever they had been working on. “Would you be up for doing a takeover on the Instagram sometime soon?” Takeovers always increased activity on the account- fans loved getting to see behind the scenes and the daily antics behind their favourite show- and they loved seeing how much work went into putting on the show every night.

Andie pulled one of her earbuds out and smiled at Alex, “Hey!” she said back. She listened to Alex’s request and shrugged at them, “Yeah, sure no problem. I can do that. Just, um how exactly do I do that? Like what do I need to do?”

Darcy nodded. They’d been getting along okay since Darcy joined the Six team, and professionally they worked well together, but things were still pretty weird, and hearing Andie call her “Darce” again hurt, just a little bit. She gave a low chuckle. “A royal mess,” she agreed, and took Andie’s hand. She let go once they were standing, and instantly missed it. But she smiled anyway. “Thanks,” she said.

Andie nodded, they definitely were a royal mess. When she found out Darcy was joining the crew for the stretch at ART, Andie had been unsure about everything, but so far it was okay. Did she love working with her ex every day? No. Definitely not. But they were okay. She smiled, “You’re welcome,” she realized she had been staring into Darcy’s eyes and looked away, “Um, do you wanna go find a soft chair after that fall? I’m gonna go grab ice from the kitchen and there’s a comfy chair in the break room.”

darcyafreidman‌:

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Darcy said. “Are you okay?” This could not have gone worse if Darcy had tried. “I can get you an ice pack? It’s not red yet but it could be and makeup hides redness but not swelling so…” She trailed off with a shrug, and tried to stand up, only to step on the notebook she had been trying to get to and falling, once again, spectacularly on her ass. “Jesus, fuck!” she cried out. Christ, she needed a drink.

“Yeah, I think I’m okay, Darce,” Andie sighed, “I can grab an ice pack, I was heading to the kitchen to heat up some food.” She reached out and tried to catch Darcy as she saw her going down again, but missed and heard Darcy hit the floor. “Shit, we’re a mess, aren’t we?” Andie let out a short laugh and reached a hand down to help her up.

“My sleeves may be green but so is my glitter.” She brought her hand to her face and mimed blowing the glitter out, before bursting into laughter. “What’s worse do you think, my glitter or the confetti at the end?”

Andie laughed at her joke and mime. “Hmm. I think it’s a draw. Glitter might be more difficult to clean up afterward. But hey, fans would probably be happy to have glitter stuck to them as a souvenir.”

“I hope so. Boleyn’s so many of the fans’ favorite queen, and I just want to do her justice.” She’d always been eager to please, and would be lying if she said the fans’ approval didn’t matter to her. “Thanks, Andie. I’ll be looking out for that. Y’know, I just hope I don’t trip again,” said with a laugh, as Nora recalls one of her worst onstage mishaps. Slipping on the confetti during the Megasix hadn’t been her most graceful moment, but at least she hadn’t fallen over. 

“You will Nora, don’t worry about it, babe,” she reached over and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze, “and we’ve all got your back. If you fall, we’ll do our best to catch you or cover for you somehow or another. Or y’know just turn it into a split or something, make it seem like it was on purpose. That’s my go to move for slipping.”

A word came out of Stephen’s mouth that wasn’t exactly… normal. He was known to let loose an expletive or two when the situation called for it. Okay, so maybe he cussed a lot, but mostly to himself or perhaps the one or two close friends that he had. But it was rare that he just randomly dropped the f-bomb when reading what was supposed to be good application letters. “I swear…” he said, picking up his water and taking a sip of it, and making a face. “I need something stronger than water to drink if I’m going to continue to read these submissions that go along with people’s casting tapes. You get asked by someone to lend an ear - and end up wanting to get yours randomly chewed off by a mole rat in a dark alley.” He looked back to the other. “Distractions? Please?” 

Andie leaned up from where she was chilling in one of the empty audience seats while they were on a break, “Mole rats?” She asked, quirking an eyebrow, “Sounds miserable. Did you ever watch Kim Possible? Every time I hear about mole rats I think of that show.” She laughed. “Hmmm. Distractions. Well, I was going to go on a quick walk around ART, get some air, wanna join? I gotta be back for the next bit but I think we’ve got ten. I promise to protect you from any mole rats that may or may not be in the alley.”

darcyafreidman‌:

Darcy winced when she saw who she’d knocked down. “Yeah, sorry. I shouldn’t have been taking up so much space and stuff.” She bent to pick up her notebook, accidentally knocking heads with Andie in the process. “Shit!” She said, falling to the floor and then sitting before rubbing the side of her head. “God, sorry.”

“Yeah, I mean like I said I probably shouldn’t text and walk... So I guess we’re both to blame.” She felt Darcy’s head bump against hers and backed up against the wall, her hand flying up to her head, “Crap! Is it getting red?” she asked, worried about getting a goose egg or something, “Um no yeah, again it’s okay... you good? I think there’re ice packs in the fridge if you want one.”

“I am truly a gift to romance.” She grinned, putting the cap on what was left of the glitter, and putting it in the proper spot on her cluttered makeup station. “I’m sure they would love that. Oh! Or I could bring it on stage and throw it at the audience.”

“Honestly. Cupid who? Romeo who?” She joked as she slid her heeled boots on. “Ooh, now that’s an idea. Just blow it off your hand out into the audience at the end. It could be fun.”

“Oh my god!” Will laughed, taking a seat in her chair. “No, luckily not.” It had been one of her musts while apartment searching; in unit laundry. The idea of her laundry mixing with that of strangers? It left an unsettled feeling in her stomach. “Look at me, saving relationships everywhere, with only the help of my washer.”

Andie nodded, “I’m sure John appreciates you saving his relationship,” she smiled over at Will, “Maybe you should just take the spare glitter to the stagedoor and toss it at fans.”

She vacuumed the glitter as best she could, no doubt leaving some sparkly green flecks. “Glitter is truly a curse.” She sighed. “I’ll be finding it for years.” She gave up, turning the vacuum off. “It’s going to haunt my washing machine.” Will looked down at her shirt, speckled with green sparkles.

“It really is. But it feels so good to sparkle, doesn’t it?” Andie touched up her lipstick and turned back to Will. “Do you have communal laundry? Because I just imagine one of your neighbors’ girlfriends being like ‘Where’s all this glitter coming from John’ or something,” Andie laughed.

One more moment spent fussing with her hair before Nora gave up and turned away from the mirror. “Well that’s good enough, I guess.” She took a deep breath, as she fiddled with the makeup brushes strewn about her station. “Yeah, mostly. But I’m — a little worried. I know everything’s going to go fine, it’s just nerves. I’ll be fine once I get onstage. ” Hopefully. 

“It’s better than good enough, you look super cute, Nora. Honestly, you’re gonna knock ‘em dead.” Andie leaned back in her chair, cracking her back. “If you get nervous when we’re out there, just toss a glance my way and I’ll send you some encouragement... or make a silly face. Y’know whatever works for you.” 

[andielivingston]

willlorraine‌:

“Knowing me, definitely.” It wasn’t Will’s first mishap with glitter, and doubtful it would be the last either. Perhaps she should stay away from the glitter; or find a packed version of the makeup instead of loose. “If I even manage to get it all up.” She turned the vacuum on, wincing slightly at the loud noise, as she began cleaning up the mess.

“Accidents happen,” Andie said with a shrug. She headed back to the mirror at her station as Will turned the vacuum on, figuring the noise would make a conversation difficult. She checked her eyeliner wings and cleaned them up with a q-tip. “I’m sure a little bit will always linger, glitter doesn’t give up so easily.”
