take me back to the start.

Nobody said it was easy. It's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start. Elinor Acosta. CMO. 33. COMOEDIA BROADCASTING.

[elincra]

[ ! ] — it seems that [ elinor acosta ] has entered the scene ! she looks exactly like [ adria arjona]. this [ 33-year-old ] is the [ CMO ] of [ comoedia broadcasting company ]. it’s a small wonder since she is known for being [ ambitious and creative ] and [ distracted and dismissive ]. she has been involved with the company for [ 8 ] years. [ GRAY | SHE/HER | 31 | CST ]

Hi! I'm Gray and this is my first rp in a hot minute. I've been looking to get back into the swing of things and this looked like the perfect one (primarily because some of y'all are familiar faces and I missed you!).

Anyways, let me introduce you to my bb girl Elinor. She lives and breathes marketing, think of her as a young Miranda Priestly but instead of a magazine, it's Comoedia Broadcasting that owns her soul. Granted, she's not near as mean or heartless as Miranda but she's certainly on her way to it... hopefully networking can help soften her a bit and give her the social life she'd desperately been needing.

Below you'll find some basic info and I'll flesh her out as I start writing more threads so I can see how she ticks.

Becoming CMO had always been Elinor’s endgame, at least when it came to working at Comoedia. When she’d first started as an intern, she’d stare awestruck and the pristine corner offices and dream of how she could make her mark on the company that had given her a chance to put her degree to use.  Between late night coffee runs, picking up people’s dry cleaning, and copy editing internal emails, a 25 year old Elinor had wondered if she’d ever make it to the next step. When a content writer position opened up, she submitted her name and did all she could to prove they’d made the right choice when she was hired. Oddly enough, it didn’t take long for her to climb the ladder. Whenever anyone asked her to do something, she did it with a smile (even if she had to alienate some of her friends and family in the process). All the anxiety and hard work paid off when 8 years into her time at the company, the current CMO came to her and said they were leaving and the job was hers if she wanted. Now that she has the role, she’s realized it’s awfully lonely at the top but as it stands… work is the only thing keeping her going. But how long will that be enough? And will she be able to find another role or hobby that makes her satisfied? Who knows.

"well of course one can't come to a golf course expecting the most marvelous biodiversity. Think of the nightmare were one to have to step on some lovely petunias in order to properly make the shoot but golly look at the state of - oh lovely that." he said clapping as the ball flew off in a perfect arc "Look at the curve on that beaut. Perfectly thin that was. Jolly good job that."

[elincra]

"i mean, have you seen augusta? that seems a testament to how a course can be gorgeous and tough all at the same time." she watched as his ball hit the fairway.

[pcrkhcneul]

"well of course if we're talking paris, the d'orsay. but the space is nice too. i suppose public libraries fulfill the same purpose. a sense of calm."

[elincra]

"public libraries are hit or miss, then again... i suppose museums are as well. it's a sense of calm so long as it's not a bank holiday or full of school tours. then it's basically an amusement park."

"Dreadful weather. This humidity is worst than the actual heat."

[elincra]

"What I would give for a dry heat." She let out a sigh. "I'm over the rain. Then again, I say that every year and still here I am." Elinor fiddled with her glass before turning towards the other. "Rosé can only do so much."

[barrettalderidge]

"I do love a good scale or even a graphic. Can you make me a bar chart..oh or a pie chart. Percentages really are aesthetically pleasing.." the mirth rolled off his tongue with ease. Barrett didn't find himself grasping for some clandestine act of piety in from of the brunette. "If you're keeping my secrets, it only fair for me to keep yours." He pitched in closer, his hands handing between his knees as he studied her. "Not in this lifetime but it's always good to feel wanted."

[elincra]

"I know you do." Elinor said with a wink before letting out a sigh. "Don't even get me started on percentages. Aesthetically pleasing my ass." A light chuckle escaped her lips as she leaned in to match his movement. "Very true. I'll let you know when I have any good ones." Of course Elinor had her secrets, but that was the point... they were meant to stay secret. "Real question, have you ever not felt wanted?"

[cryforlxve]

"You almost made it sound like I had a choice." Sieun held for a beat, a dramatic display of some feign power she lacked whenever near Elinor. "If you can convince Keiko to come with us, I wouldn't be opposed to sitting down for a weekend being waited on hand and foot."

[elincra]

"That just means I'm good at my job. I'm supposed to convince you one way or the other." She teased. "Ooh, now that may be a tough sell. When was the last time we got her to take a break at the same time we did?"

[orsonhewitt]

" hold on, hold on — the only two options to choose from is a barcade- " he was not sure if he had ever stepped inside one. for a reason. one could hear it in the way he pronounced the offensive word. " -or a nice little moment at a table ? " he pretended to be weighing the options, fingers laced together, resting on his stomach. " i much rather pay for the latter. i cannot promise it will qualify as fun though. depends on how much you like me and my company. "

[elincra]

"yes." elinor nodded along as the other spoke. "and yes. although the barcade would also have nice moments." she offered up. "i like you well enough." she shrugged before leaning back. "you do realize it will be a five-star tea service complete with caviar and champagne, right? put it on the corporate card. i'm kidding, i'm kidding."

"i usually only step in here because it's cool and quiet. you?"

[elincra]

"I've always been a fan of museums. My favorite is the British Museum if we're talking London. In general, it's the Musee D'Orsay."

the loud click of the expensive ring , dropping against the polished wooden floor . the sound echoed through the quiet restaurant, drawing the attention of a nearby table as she reached to catch the engagement jewelry from the person's hand . " thanks you , " she says . " –––––– it keeps rolling off , i need to get it adjusted again . may i buy you a drink as a thank you? "

[elincra]

"You need to get that adjusted as soon as possible. Most people won't be so apt to return it, but seeing as we're already friends..." She paused. "The ring is rather gorgeous. Did you pick it out or did he surprise you?"

[barrettalderidge]

"I wonder how bad Bernald would take it if I just sold my stock in the business to myself through a shell company. I'll tell him I've finally given into the Bulletin's offers."

[elincra]

"Do you want it in scale form or..." She trailed off. "Either way, your secret would be safe with me. So long as your brother never finds out I hypothetically knew." Elinor finished her thoughts off with a wink. "You're not really thinking of giving into their offers... are you?"

[arnoldwhisham]

" ah, of course, i had forgotten those existed, " arnold replied with shake of his head as if to say 'silly me'. " the point was to relax, i think you succeeded at that. i did complete the whole course. it had a few trickier parts but a fairly wonderful course as a whole. not the best however, but we'll see how i'll like the other facilities. a membership doesn't seem like too poor an idea. "

[elincra]

"didn't someone wise once say... show up, look pretty, and have a good time? How can you look pretty if you spend too much time on the course." she paused. "kidding, kidding. it's probably smart to be testing the facilities without having to pay. it's as if you're gaming the system."

[elincra]

"Alright, so it's time for our 1:1.... of fun." Elinor said with a grin. "It's been too long since we've done a non-work thing and I think we both deserve it. SO I'm thinking we find a barcade OR you take me to tea. Your choice."

@orsonhewitt

[elincra]

"You'd think they'd shake things up a bit." She muttered under her breath. "If I have to attend another conference where noone knows what they're doing, I may scream." She paused. "What about you?"

@carolinebrandolph

[elincra]

"It's nice to see you when we're not both glued to our phones." Elinor said with a grin. "Granted, if you're like me then your phone is currently in your pocket and it's taking everything in your power not to look through it." @edenwest

[elincra]

"You, me, and a weekend where we do nothing but lounge in the sun as someone continuously places drinks in our hands." She paused. "What do you say? It's alright if you say no."

@hwangsieun

[orsonhewitt]

" i taste grape and... grape. how about you ? " he had always found tastings pretentious.

[elincra]

"Expand your mind, expand your palette." She offered up. "It's grape but... grape and..." Elinor trailed off, hoping he'd fill in the blanks. She'd always prided herself on being able to pick up on the different notes but it wasn't exactly a useable talent.

[arnoldwhisham]

" i wonder how comoedia will survive this weekend when everyone's here ! i wasn't expecting you to leave your desk but what a happy occasion. have you gone playing yet ? " [ ;; @elincra ]

[elincra]

"It's called a smartphone." She teased with a grin. "Granted, you can't really run a campaign on one but not everyone ended up here." At his question, she shrugged. "I made an appearance at the driving range and worked on my short game but I'm happier during the cocktail portion. You?"
