be kind

Peyton Nichols, 25. Kylie Cohen in The Broke Pack.

“The reason I feel like I act is because you get to live a million different lives in one. I don’t have to go about my life, just being easy-going New Zealander Rose. Sometimes I can inhabit a feisty, vicious character. Sometimes I can inhabit a painfully shy British girl, or whatever it might be.” - Rose McIver

RORY: Willing to make some time for your best friend this week?

RORY: Lunch date at the usual place?

PEYTON: Always! 💖💖

PEYTON: What time were we thinking? Should I bring you a rose?

 “Yeah, because that’s you. Peyton Nichols, huge ass imposition.” His gentle tone had no chance at masking his natural sarcasm. Peyton never had been, nor did he think she could ever be, an imposition. He stepped forward then, hand moving to her back to guide her toward the bar, navigating them both through the little cliquish groups. 

Waving over a bartender as they arrived, he ordered a beer and let Peyton order for herself. Soon, beer in hand, Buzz leaned against the hard wood, “So what do you think of the new shows? Met anyone of the new casts?”

Another smile his way, because there truly was no way to reply to him without coming off as someone playing off their modesty, and then there was the immediate comfort of his touch, the gentlest hint of guidance. She didn’t particularly know all of the people in the crowded room, but she wasn’t necessarily looking to make more connections for the rest of the evening. Spending time with Buzz would be more than valuable enough to her.

“A piña colada, please. Thank you,” she spoke up, smiling at the bar tender before turning back towards her friend. “The newer casts? They all look so young, and full of energy. Fresh-faced. It’s a little bit intimidating to try and compare yourself to them.” A small shrug, as though it wasn’t even in her mind to worry over it, and she took a small sip of her mixed drink while looking up at him. “How is everything going on your end? Are you planning for season 3?”

PEYTON: Do you think you could spare a half hour or so for lunch one of these days?

PEYTON: I'm sure somehow we could coordinate our schedules to match up somewhat.

buzz-davidson:

Buzz listened as she spoke, looking over her head at the people gathered around them. It was a great turnout, he supposed, but there was a reason he was behind the camera rather than in front.  “You want me to be honest with you?” he asked, smiling softly as his eyes came back to hers. “I am enjoying myself a lot more since you came around.” Looking down, he didn’t know what else to say, instead opting to gesture toward the bar, “You need a drink?”

It was impossible not feeling at ease around Buzz. However much he expressed his preferences for quietness, and staying out of the spotlight altogether, he was the sort of person others would flock to, undoubtedly drawn by his irradiated goodness. “Just wait until someone else recognizes you for the spectacular person that you are,” she commented, her eyes focused on his face. “Oh, sure? If you’re getting one, that is. I wouldn’t want to impose.”

buzz-davidson:

He hadn’t had anything better to do plus he’d heard there was going to be a s’mores station at this event. He’d yet to see a s’more but it wasn’t a half bad time. It was only made better by the sight of Peyton, her energy already elevating the party. “You know how it goes. The party don’t start ‘til I walk in.”

He paused, briefly looking away to bro nod in acknowledgement of a fellow writer passing by. “No moreso than usual, maybe it’s me who hasn’t seen you around?”

“No party is a real party unless we’ve got Buzz Davidson on the scene.” Peyton smiled again, her gaze warm as she focused on the writer, then nodded as if to concede his point. “That could be right. I haven’t been seeing much of anybody outside of my co-workers lately. Shooting schedules.” She shrugged slightly, still in good humor, and tilted her head in the general direction of the rest of the party. “Are you enjoying yourself now, though? I’ve recently realized there’s no use in staying somewhere you’re not comfortable. No matter the work perks.”

“There you are! You know, I thought you might just ditch for better plans of your own making.” Peyton’s smile was genuine as she reached towards @buzz-davidson, one hand touching his arm, lips grazing his cheek in greeting. Although it was hard to get out of a work-related event -- and most people would rather not -- she was well aware of someone’s personal preferences clashing with their wanting to make connections, or pleasing their superiors. “I haven’t seen you around the studio so much lately. Is post-prod treating you too roughly?” she inquired, eyebrows arching up slightly.

the paparazzi have spotted PEYTON NICHOLS, the TWENTY-FIVE year old ACTOR who’s currently working as KYLIE COHEN on THE BROKE PACK. the tabloids have called them EDUCATED and GLOWING, but also TIMID and INSECURE. during their time in the spotlight, they’ve been dubbed the SOCIAL CASUALTY.

before you can try and guess........... she’s @nichcls wc in the form of his sister

like literally including her my last four characters were wcs that’s how i roll

ok !! on to peyton !!

she was the first born of a rather well-established family, plenty of cash to show off and throw around in a display of ‘power’

the only one thing Peyton really wanted to do - and which she got a small chance to - was become a ballerina like the one she saw year after year on The Nutcracker bc goals !! so dainty and pretty and graceful !!

((her parents didn’t really mind enrolling her for some classes bc it would Look Good ™ but then again she never managed to stand out too much or win any solos -- not due to a lack of talent but lack of faith in herself??))

and with Penn as her younger brother, the boy quickly scaling up the ranks through everybody else’s hearts and social ladders, well, her confidence wasn’t rly getting any better

she p much breezed through high school going by unnoticed, still kept at it on her dancing lessons and whatnot, v occasionally finding some enjoyment in the arts department (one her younger brother wouldn’t step a foot in)

graduated from high school at 16 !! thankfully !! that nightmare was over !!

was then spotted (?) while out having lunch by a scout who was putting together the cast for an action-themed tv show - she thought the guy seemed to be shady as heck but wound up googling the address and turning up for the casting call... thus securing her first serious tv role by the age of 17 !! #powerrangersrpm

her role was one the casting agents thought she certainly looked the part of - spoiled rich princess - but as it was the breakout she apparently (& desperately) needed personally

it wasn’t the magical cure to turn her life around BUt it was a small stepping stone on her own personal development

the tv show lasted only the one season, but her and other actors’ presences (wcs??) were duly noted and praised - and it was the starting point of a promising career

not every job she scored was as big a success (though among cult fanatics), but she’s never been afraid of a little bit of hard work to get herself places -- wherever those places might be !!

personality wise she’s as sweet and uncomplicated as can be - loves music, loves to dance, extremely thankful for the opportunities she’s been given in every single aspect, doesn’t really hold grudges for the most part. if they do exist, they’re buried so deep down she can’t easily find them

wcs ?? ex partners ?? ex coworkers ?? ex classmates ?? she’s cute pls look at her?? that’s ... all i got k byE!
