"Hey, how you doin'? Check this out-," he grinned, handing over one of his freshly printed new business cards - Freddie Slothmore, taxi cab, get there in a Flash! - "What d'ya think, huh?" @happieststarters
"hi, i'm good thank you, how are you?" she asked, but got sidetracked with what flash had shown her "these are very professional, flash. they look great. you'll have customers twenty four seven"
"Hey... is the tag sticking out of this shirt or is it totally inside out?" @happieststarters
"it's okay, rita. it's just the tag" she reassured her and tucked the tag back in "there, all fixed"
The coat | Jane Porter
@jane-pxrter
“I’m reading the news, and it sure looks bad,” Ella said with a heavy sigh, letting the tablet slip a little in her hands as if the headlines themselves weighed her down. Outside, the first hints of autumn were already creeping in—cool air threading through the open window, carrying the scent of damp leaves and the faint metallic tang of approaching rain.
“We are getting fall weather and I haven’t even started on coats yet,” she went on, pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Do I go with faux fur this year, or should I splurge on alpaca wool?” Her inner designer, never one to stay quiet, was already sketching imaginary textures and silhouettes in her mind’s eye.
“I was making this duckling-yellow coat for Dandelion,” she added, her voice warming with a sudden burst of maternal pride. “My god, she’s growing up so fast. Can you believe she is already five and a half?” The words tumbled out like a secret she still couldn’t quite believe herself.
jane was happy to go a walk with ella to get some air and have a long overdue catch up with her. "i wouldn't stress yourself out with the news, ella. it's a known cause for raised blood pressures" she advised, not wanting ella to fall victim to that.
she gave a soft smile at ella's planning for the fast approaching fall season. she was always one step ahead with her planning and creativity. "i'm not up to date with what is happening on runways but i'm sure you'll make the right decision. your clothes have always been beautiful and of the highest quality."
hearing that dandelion was already five had jane gasp in shock, she was growing up so fast. it felt like yesterday that she was the newest addition to the town "i can't believe that at all, next thing you know she'll be off to college"
“The sun doesn’t go away just because it’s fall.” Sunny was a business man, after all. "Could I interest you in anything? Or perhaps just casual conversation?"

"no thank you, i'm not out looking to buy anything today, i was out for a walk to get some fresh air and away from my laptop for a while. how is your day going?"
Deziree was starting to realise that 'going unnoticed' in this job was proving futile. Every second customer knew her by name, which would have been a good thing in any other setting, and every fifth asked about her mother. Deziree poured the piping hot coffee, attempting a sincere smile.
"Would you like sugar or creamer?"
diving into her research had been her main focus. it kept most peoples questions at bay when you looked busy and as long as the looks of pity weren't coming her way, she could live with that. jane smiled up at deziree who had come over to serve her coffee
"some sugar would be wonderful, thank you"
"ah yes, you were part of a duo when i last saw you. i heard about the split, i'm sure you've received enough condolences to last you a lifetime" by the sounds of it the two simply didn't work out. he wasn't sure why. she was intelligent, good looking, had a good heart and all that mush that came with it - it must've been a him problem. "a wedding is a wedding, it's all the same to everyone except those getting married. we didn't miss much. the aftermath has been more dramatic than the wedding"
"i was and i have, thank you." she was glad that he never offered his. she was happy that he didn't look at her like she was glass ready to shatter. she appreciated her friends rallying around her and caring, but it was nice to remove the emotion from the conversation for a change. the last thing she thought kevin hopper would do would be to console her, hell would freeze over before that would happen "i heard about tina and james. i sent over some flowers and a card as a minder and i was on my way to see them since they've woken up. i didn't want to crowd them, they'll be sick of seeing people"
she hugged jane tightly to comfort her. "you're doing great, no one will fault you on that. i know this is painful and you'll get through this. if you need anything you give me a call. i'm here whenever you need me"
she let out a whimper, trying to hold back tears. she was doing so well until eilonwy. "thank you" she managed to choke out "it means a lot that you're around. i know we don't see each other often because of work but i love you, you know that right?"
Minnie was glad to hear that Jane was doing okay, or at least, as best as she could be doing. She struggled to find the words to say. She had always isolated herself so deeply within her work that truth be told, she was not sure if she even had anyone in her life close enough to feel such a loss like this. At least, none outside her parents.
"That's a good way to think about it, yeah," Minnie said awkwardly. "What's your next move, have you thought about it? Anything you can look forward to, I guess?"
she was trying to be brave about it. any given moment something could tip her over the edge into tears again, but she was doing her damn best to keep them at bay.
"my dad used to say better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. i've been keeping that in mind through everything" in some ways it would've been easier if there was some horrendous break up, it would've been a painful clean break. "i've been diving into my work and i'll keep focusing on my research. there are some friends of mine who are currently planning their wedding as well so i'll be on hand to help them if they need anything. i'm taking it a day at a time"

jane weakly smiled up at nani, thanking her for bringing her some cold remedies. trust jane to break off an engagement, return home during one of the biggest wedding events of the year and then end up with a flu. was mercury in retrograde or something? "you can bug me any time" nani was always so kind to her and she appreciated that even in her hectic schedule she had found time to stop by and see her. "other than the flu trying to single handedly wipe out all my white blood cells, i'm doing okay. it's not an ideal situation and i'm heartbroken ray and i couldn't make it work but i want him to be happy and succeed in life. i can't be the reason he misses out on a job offer that's everything he's ever wanted"
Jim had, in ways, been where she was before. He knew just how much it hurt and he wished he knew how to comfort her better.
"I've been there," Jim said, "Losing someone so important, future being uncertain. A lot of people are going to tell you it gets better or everything happens for a reason, so I guess I want to say that I get just how much it sucks. Like it's ok to be sad or angry or anything about how much it just blows."
Jim sighed.
"Just feel like sometimes we feel like we have to handle things...with grace. Or that people just want to see grief handled so elegantly. But when I in the thick of it, I appreciated the people around me who just let me be messy. Didn't make me feel like I had to box everything up so neatly."
"thanks, i appreciate it" jane nodded her head in understanding. "most people have been asking how i am, and i guess i don't really know. i'm just trying to take it a day at a time. i feel sad at the loss of it all and what we could've had but at the same time i'm happy for the job offer he got and the opportunities that will give him. i want him to be happy and feel fulfilled in life, i wish him the best in that."
even though they weren't together anymore, jane would never hold anything against ray. they parted on good (albeit heartbreaking) terms.
"there is certainly an expectation there that the feelings should be quiet, and i agree that feelings need to be let out in whatever way they come out, but i don't feel angry. it's more disappointment that we really had tried every option we could and it just would never work. time, location, stages of life, it never lined up for us. everything feels overwhelming. it's never just a brief feeling, it's a tidal wave of it"
[ 3. ] sender presses their forehead to receiver's, voice breaking as they murmur, "i don't know how to fix this, but i'm not leaving." - MULAN
life came at you fast and jane was no exception to that. a panic attack had hit jane like a truck and she was trying her best to calm down but it was proving fruitless, that was how mulan found her. crouch down in the back of the bookstore, she had tried her best to hide.
she focus on trying to even her breathing, mulan staying by her side for support and reassuring her that she wasn't leaving. jane gave a nod of her head and took some more deep breaths. @magicalfamulan
[ 19. ] sender brings hot tea and medication to a [ hungover / ill ] receiver.
jane had been feeling under the weather as of late. maybe it was burnout from work or maybe it was all the stress over the past few months that was finally taking it's toll. either way, she was exhausted and the cold she was trying to get rid of was refusing to move. thankfully, she had great friends around her, one of which was nani who had kindly brought reinforcements in the form of tea and medication "you're an angel, nani. thank you, i really appreciate you bringing these over for me" jane continued to thank her, lifting the mug of tea to her lips. @themanagerisavampirex
[ 1. ] sender steps between receiver and an aggressive stranger, voice low and steady: "walk. away." (Honeymaren)
she was minding her business at the store when someone had clearly decided to take their bad day out on her. one minute she was waiting in line to pay for her items and the next she was being screamed at by a man who had decided he was important enough to skip in front of her. she was stunned into silence while this man ranted away and it wasn't until honeymaren stepped in that jane felt herself return to her body.
apparently that was enough for the security to finally act and come over to haul the man away. jane turned to honeymaren "thank you for being there. i don't think anyone would've done anything otherwise. i can't believe that just happened" @honeymxren
🎧 A song used for writing my muse
ariana grande - supernatural
is your muse one to follow through on their word?
always. jane doesn't make a promise if she can't keep it.
Is your muse sensitive, or do they have a thick skin?
at face value, she has a thick skin. she's dealt with a lot in her life but intimately she's a sensitive soul who just wants to feel love and peace.
