River stood leaning up against the wall outside of the back alley of the building, staring up at the slightly cloudy sky and watching an airplane pass overhead. They’d just gotten a surprise call from their grandmother, which had worried them enough at first for them to end up rushing to the nearest outside place and calling back. Luckily, it wasn’t anything important, but their heart was still beating much too fast. Attempting to calm down, they took a few inhales and exhales, putting a hand on their chest to try to steady their breathing. Darn it, why did they have to get so worked up over the simplest of things? It was probably about time for them to be getting back inside the building, they had a shoot soon, but they still weren’t fully composed yet. No one else seemed to be around, which made sense, since the back alley wasn’t used all that often. However, the creak of a door caused River to lower their head and stare at their shoes, trying to present as if they hadn’t been panicking. “I’ll be back inside in a second, sorry. Just trying to clear my head,” they said, tapping a finger against their leg as they continued to stare down at their converse sneakers. They didn’t particularly want to look up and see who it was, since there were a lot of different options that were potentially a problem when it came to different coworkers finding them out here.

she didn’t hate working at woosh. in fact, it was one of the finer - nay, the finest - job that she had held since ending up in los angeles. yet, whenever possible, aurelia did anything and everything she could to be out of the office. the eyes in the back of her head began to burn, the constant staring of her co-workers was growing to be too much. even if it was only in her own imagination, the whispers and the side glances had a penchant to be unbearable if she stayed at her desk for too long. today’s form of escapism came in the form of a need for walgreens. in truth, there was nothing there that aurelia truly needed, but perusing drug store make-up under the guise of a “video idea” was the best excuse that she could fathom. as always, she left out of the back, doing everything she could to avoid being seen by any potential co-workers who may question her for sneaking off. until, of course, she ended up in the back alley and came across river.

❛❛ you good? ❜❜ her eyebrow raised, failing to believe a word that came out of river’s mouth. ❛❛ yeah, i know that feeling. ❜❜ aurelia took a step forward, before the voice inside of her head tells her that it is wrong and she cannot leave. ❛❛ hey. do you wanna get out of here? i gotta go to walgreens, and nothin’ can clear your head like perusing their corny holiday shelves. ❜❜

dorothy had never been much of a team player. she was always out for herself because she felt like no one was truly ever going to have her back so she had her own and no one else’s. of course, that was mostly an interpersonal thing as dorothy tried to have the backs of communities and uplift them, but she didn’t really care when it came down to her personal life. she was much too stubborn and argumentative to be a true team player. “you should know by now that i want you to be honest rather than beating around the bush.” dorothy took out her phone. “also, i don’t know my time of birth if that’s a problem.”

there were plenty of perks to working at woosh. you got to see things that you could’ve only dreamed of, meet the people who were once just a reblog on your tumblr, and create content that, though often mocked, at least had people talking and distract from their mundane lives to actually enjoy something. but, as with all in the world, there was a significant downfall. a downfall that looked a lot like dorothy trang. in fact, it looked exactly like dorothy trang. ❛❛ we’re going to be at least two hours. and that’s if everything from here on out is smooth sailing. ❜❜ she hated to be the person to bring bad news, but if it was to dorothy, it somehow didn’t sting her person that bad. ❛❛ can’t you like, call your mom or something? you give serious fire sign energy though. ❜❜ it wasn’t a compliment, and she certainly didn’t say it like one either.

she was bored. none of the projects dictated by the post-it notes across aurelia’s screen seemed at all interesting right now, and any motivation that she could have potentially had from them was long gone. the premade trader joe’s lunch in the salad looking like the saddest salad to have ever existed simply crossed a line. it was official: aurelia needed out. as though it were a sign from the fates, the perfect reason seemed to be before her. ❛❛ hey jess! ❜❜ the elongated y on the hey was surely suspect, but who knew how much convincing that they would need? ❛❛ so what will it take for me to convince you to play a little hooky with me? i’ll buy you lunch? come on, this salad is just sad, and the taco bell is only a block away. ❜❜

“you wanna help me out with my newest, biggest idea yet?” book in hand and a small notebook balanced atop the spread pages, messy script and scribbles in the margins of both, reece was smirking up at their co-worker. the last three ideas he’d pitched had been given a firm no, so he’d done what he could to ‘dumb down’ his concepts back to the basics of internet entertainment, and was currently working on another project to hopefully finally see a green light from the editing board. at least he’d figured out a way to somewhat stay on track; his goal to release videos to, eventually, better help the environment was beginning to prove difficult, so the new conquest he had decided on was at least… well, appealing to the youths, he hoped. “i’m in the research stage right now, so your input would be excellent. what’s your favorite flower?”

being a soundboard for the inane ideas that her co-workers came up with was far from aurelia’s favourite part of the internship. this idea of ‘camradarie’ that they were to have was... a little ridiculous. she worked best alone, but you couldn’t exactly say that type of thing in an interview. ❛❛ i don’t feel like i have a choice. ❜❜ what did a girl have to do to enjoy a bagel in peace? either way, she was sure that reece’s idea would at least be mildly entertaining, and not a total shit-show. ❛❛ chamomile, next question. ❜❜ at that, she dropped her bagel and lifted her shirt sleeve, revealing the tattoo on her left forearm of the plant.

the woosh studio was honestly the last place dorothy wanted to be right now. she hated making the meaningless videos that her internship basically forced her to do. and aurelia was one of the last people that dorothy wanted to be around. all this voodoo crystal shit that dorothy had no time for was all she could ever talk about. not to mention, all that shit was what the video they were shooting was about. dorothy reluctantly opened the door to the studio and gave the director a begrudged wave. she walked over to aurelia and sat down in the chair across from her.

“so, uh…when is this gonna be over?” she asked, looking at her watch on her wrist. the shoot hadn’t even begun and dorothy was already over it and waiting for it to be done.

sometimes, aurelia landed herself with this feeling that she was the only person that actually wanted to be here. sure, she had applied cause the universe had told her to, but she believed in making the best out of a bad situation. this, being here with dorothy co-producing content together, was certainly a bad situation. ❛❛ well... ❜❜ there was no straight answer, and she knew that even if the answer was ten minutes, her companion would likely be a sourpuss. ❛❛ do you want me to lie to you, or do you want me to be honest? cause i can do either, but i don’t think you’ll like the answers anyway. ❜❜

oh my god…did you see who just walked into the woosh headquarters? it’s aurelia jane carmichael and they can’t wait to share their ideas like the scariest folk tales from around the world and female gothic: how women changed horror at the morning meeting. you know, i hate to be the office gossip but i did hear that they’re known as the flake of the interns. maybe it’s because they’re self-reliant but i’ve also heard that they could be caustic too, depending on who you talk to. in their downtime they like to visit reddit no sleep. a scuffed skateboard in the hallway, newspapers littering the floor, gold-foiled tarot cards, crystals on windowsills beside cups of water, ripped skinny jeans with fishnets peaking through, fridge magnets that spell an array of curse words

[VOICEMAIL] I know I know I know I said I wouldn’t call. But God, I couldn’t hold myself back anymore. My friends kept saying you’d come around, that you’d calm down and you’d come back and tell me you’re still here and everything’s fine but you never did. I spend everyday wondering what I could have said to make it last longer. I spend nights not sleeping because I keep thinking of the reality I’m living in: you aren’t here. You’re gone. You hate me. I messed up. I’m sorry. My counselor said you’d come around and that you’d accept my countless apologies and things would be ok again, but you aren’t here. And I’m still waiting day and night for that notification. For your name to appear on my screen. But it won’t. It won’t. So ok, I’ll let you go. This is me letting go. [END OF VOICEMAIL]
