OOC | Mel & Dominic

Kate AA, again!  ;D  Ok, so Mel has been in and out of Bingley a lot w GMTF, etc., and considering that he’s also not been there for awhile, I’m not really sure whether they’d have met before?  I’m totally cool either way, honestly though, if you have a preference or we can just try and sort it out too hahaha  I’d love to hear any ideas you may have!

[melodyfvt]

OOC | Mel & Peter

Hi, again, Matty!  <3  Ok, so Mel is part of the theatre troupe and she isn’t a local, but she’s lived in Bingley before for a significant portion of time and frankly loves it there.  So!  My thought is that she was probably a frequent face at Sullivans back before it got stolen out from under him, so they might know each other that way?  What do you think?

OOC | Mel & Matthew

Hi, again, Jordan!  It’s Kate AA again hahaha  Ok, so these two don’t really have a ton of overlap but I’m sure we can come up w something awesome anyway!  Mel isn’t from Bingley originally, but she has great affection for it and spends a lot of time here since she works for the local theatre troupe.  That being said, she’s v outgoing and friendly and loves to adopt ppl hahaha so even if they just run into each other a bit they could easily strike up/may have already developed some sort of rapport, if he can get past the fact that she can sometimes be a bit...much to deal w hahaha  How do you think Matthew might react to someone like Mel?

OOC | Mel & Eloise

[melodyfvt]

eloisebvt

So Eloise hasn’t been in town long but she knew of GMTF from visiting as a kid… maybe they’re old college friends? And now I imagine Mel being like one of my best friends who also works in theatre and is constantly keeping one eye open for me to get a job at his theatre…. so maybe when Eloise’s job opened, Mel was like “APPLY APPLY APPLY!” and the rest is history.

I just sort of imagine everyone in their little friendship circle showing up at their cottage all the time and its constantly full of people and i just love it, okay? hahaha

College friends!!  I love it!  dkslfjklsjdklfj  Mel has probs been dragging her around for ages then hahaha she’s can go a little hardcore in being an affectionate friend, I’m afraid hahaha  I s2g her heart is in the right place!!!  She worries a lot about Eloise and just wants the best for her but her idea and Eloise’s idea of what that is might be slightly different hahaha

Mel getting Eloise to apply!!!!!  Omg she would totally do that!!!!!  And I can absolutely see her always scanning the thing to see if there are any Eloise!friendly jobs open and instantly calling her up once she saw it.  hahaha APPLY APPLY APPLY but honestly <3333  She was also like ‘omg you’ll love bingley i know i do!!!!’ not foreseeing the culture shock aspect bc she, herself, is from a small town (tho not quite THAT small) hahaha

YASSSS, Kate, me too!!!!!!  You know it’s such a welcoming place <3333

Jennifer Lawrence Shares Her Most Embarrassing Moments

[warnervt]

ooc | Warner & Melody

So I can see Melody tOTALLY intimidating and exhausting Warner lol but I can also see them as friends??? idk????? like on one hand I can see him literally pretending to forget something so he can turn around on the street and not have to talk to her but on the other I can see her being good for him if they were friends and helping to draw him out a little more????? thoughts???? idk what melody would think of warner??? 

[melodyfvt]

PRETENDING TO FORGET SOMETHING SO HE CAN TURN AROUND AND NOT TALK TO HER ALDJFKLJASDKLF  No, but that makes total sense!!!  And I actually think Mel would really like Warner!!!  I mean, she def takes an interest in ppl in general and she’s also got a ton of siblings at home and so she’s used to and actively enjoys all sorts of personalities!!!!  And I also feel like Warner would be good for her, as well, in terms of expanding her horizons and introducing her to new things.  Plus, they could totally bond over the awesome shows like vn and aoa and odr they watch ;D  Not to mention, I can see Mel being an occasional customer at Fulton’s bc she wants to do some of the outdoor stuff or at least try it hahaha  

Anyway, my general point is...I think she would def be v friendly and try and draw him out, etc.  Also, Mel isn’t from Bingley, but she’s been here before and I think was here for a good while, the last time she was here, so this probs isn’t their first time meeting, tho it’s possibly been awhile atp.  (I think she left town after things ended between her and Oliver but idk the exact circumstances of things since we don’t have an Oliver hahaha)

OOC | Mel & Eloise

[melodyfvt]

eloisebvt

SO THESE TWO KATE. I feel like they’re incredibly similar in many ways?? Like they both chose areas  that can stereotypically be more of a “boys club” so they have any to bond over? Mel is trying to be taken seriously and Lou is trying not to be seen as like a secretary or whatever?

I was saying to Lizzy that I think Eloise’s friends from work are THE MOST important to her, since she literally knew  no one showing up in Bingley. Maybe Mel was the person who started introducing her to everyone, since they’re roommates? (PS HOW CUTE WILL THEIR COTTAGE BE?!) And I think Lou needs someone like Mel around who would take her laptop and put it on a high shelf or whatever so she stops working…. and Eloise definitely will be better having someone around just in general. She’s one of those people who would hole up alone if she didn’t have a roommate around.

djkhjkhjkhjhjTRDFHJzfddhgjgjhm I LOVE IT!!!!!  OMG I love the idea of them coming home and venting/bonding over breaking the glass ceiling together!!!!!!  I also wonder if this was part of what they initially bonded over, ~back in the day~  Also, I’m thinking since they just moved in w each other, that they were def friends first?  Like Mel, I think, has been with the company for awhile, anyway, do you think Eloise has as well?  I’m trying to figure out how long/well they know each other ;D

OMG yes!!!!  It’s def the same for Mel!!!!!  I mean, she’s been to Bingley before obv but she’s not from Bingley and I do think she really enjoys it here, etc, but I think the ppl she’s really bonded w the most are the ppl from work and I do think they’re amongst her best friends <3333  Mel introducing her to everyone!!!!!  I LOVE IT!!!!!!  Mel would totally do that and she’d be so happy to see Elouise getting comfortable and being happy there!!!!  OMG THEIR COTTAGE WILL BE THE CUTEST!!!!!!  You know it’s super cozy and cheerful and just the sort of place you wanna go hangout (while also being both sticky note and power tool friendly ;D)  Hahaha Mel is def the sort who would just walk in and put Eloise’s laptop up on the top shelf and be like ‘come on we’re gonna go out tonight and have some fun and meet some interesting ppl!’

OOC | Mel & Alice

[melodyfvt]

alicevt

i feel like alice just thinks GMTF is this magical place in some respects? like she’s one of thsoe people who may not get HOW MUCH WORK goes into theatrical productions?? so if milo brings herself around she’s mostly just in awe of everything, haha. And I sort of feel like Mel would totally intimidate her, honestly? like this badass woman with powertools who then rolls out of work looking like she’s walked out of a magazine or whatever… 

Awwww bb hahaha for what it’s worth I think Mel would really like Alice!!!  But I think she’d also worry about her a little bc Milo and Gen are...their own thing and I think she might feel like Alice doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into...but I don’t see her doing much about it like she might give her a word or two of friendly advice and then figure it’s none of her business from there. 

I think Mel would be more invested in showing her how to use the tools properly (and thereby also getting her to help make the sets a lil if she’s gonna be there anyway) bc Mel feels all women should know their way around power tools and its a crime most women aren’t taught tbh hahaha

[jlaws]

I never think it’s right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I’ll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I’ll forget I’m chewing it. Then you don’t want to swallow it, because it stays in your system for seven years or something, so I’ve asked to throw it away. I’ve started to wonder if that’s why I didn’t get certain movies.

OOC | Mel & Caleb

Ok so I wrote a whole thing and then apparently tumblr deleted it arghhhh

Anyway! The idea was that I can see a bff-ery shaping up here!!!! She’s a hot mess but she’s a total mama bear and he’s so precious and she’s like ‘someone’s gotta look out for him’ and she’s on it tbh hahaha I feel like they could be the Winston/Cece bffs of Bingley hahaha

[melodyfvt]

OOC | Mel & Lydia

Mel needs book recs!!!!! She's def gonna wander into red fox for these ;D Also idk if they've met before but regardless I can potentially see them hitting it off???

[melodyfvt]

OOC | Mel & Gen

Lizzy!!!1  These two...wow!  I feel like they’d either love or hate each other????  And I’m not even sure which one???????  Or maybe it’s even just straight up love/hate hahah idk??????  Or am I just way off here?????  Thoughts??????

[melodyfvt]

OOC | Mel & Alice

Since Alice lives across from the theatre, these two might have met?  Esp if Milo’s bringing her around hahaha  Mel’s a lot more reserved (though that might surprise bc she’s on the surface a lil too frank????? idk how to explain it exactly hahaha) but she’s also v open in a combo entirely her own hahah and I feel like she would cotton to Alice...but I’m not sure how Alice would feel about her????

[melodyfvt]

OOC | Mel & Hannah

If Hannah’s Amy Santiago, Mel is...Cece Parekh hahaha  Ok, that’s not ~quite right but it’s something I guess hahaha  Anyway!  I feel like these two could potentially get on really well!!!!!!!  And I can see them getting into some absurd situations and being like ‘idk what’s happening’ honestly hahah  But anyway I feel like Mel would love Hannah like the smart little sister she left behind in Iowa hahaha
