"Alright, meet me over there on saturday, 'round 3 o'clock."
They point to a dollhouse. It's unique, almost certainly hand made, and with lots of inspiration from houses in New Orleans.
The porch is painted haint blue, but most other things are a pastel pink. Silver wires have been bent into repeating patterns of the railings of the porch and balcony.
It seems built to scale with a six-inch doll. It's asymmetrical and two stories tall.

🎭: "sounds good! See you till then. And my my! That little house of yours is just beautiful! You've got good taste, cher!"
They smile, one side of their smile is slightly higher, revealing small fangs. They let out a little giggle and spin.
"Thank you, darling. I'm excited to have fun with you."
They wave and walk off, shoes clicking against the floor. When they get to the dollhouse, they shrink down to the scale of the dollhouse and walk inside.
They look like they match with the dollhouse perfectly. Made to match, two parts of a whole.
🎭: Marcel looked a little shocked by the sudden change in scale they had done. Hes seen many things but this was new.
"Now arent you just full of tricks? If only I could match ya mphm."
They return at the agreed time, wearing a blue dress with lots of lace and detail, and simple white shoes.
"Hello darling."
🎭: Marcel nods with a small smile, greeting them with an overly dramatic bow.
"Gretting, cher! Aren't you all dazzling? Your doing well since last i saw you hm?"
They smile, then seem to have a realization.
"I never did properly introduce myself, did I now? My name is Dahlia De Fleur. I am the personification of the dolls in that little doll house over there."
They bow slightly, smiling, then locking their arm with his and guiding him to the dollhouse.
🎭: "pleasure to formally meet you, De Fleur! I am Marcel Facade, the Mardi gras mask. You seem like a charming person and even more lovey house!"
"Hold on to me a moment, darling. It's a bit an odd feeling the first time doin' it."
In a single moment, they shrink to match the scale of the dollhouse. It's a bit disorienting.
"Now, how do you feel about wearing dresses? I have a purple one you'd look stunning in, darling."
