⠀⠀alec  had  missed  most  of  the  song.  he’d  wandered  off  toward  the  water  earlier  with  the  excuse  of  needing  air.  by  the  time  he  came  back,  the  singer  was  already  at  the  last  few  lines.  he  stopped  just  in  time  for  it,  close  enough  to  see  the  red  of  her  mouth  around  the  final  note  and  the  pleased  little  glow  that  came  with  the  applause.  he  joined  the  applause  with  everyone  else,  a  second  late  but  not  half-hearted.  only  once  people  began  turning  back  to  their  drinks  and  conversations  did  he  look  away,  catching  the  bartender’s  attention  for  an  order.  he  only meant  to  glance  back  toward  the  piano  but  instead  noticed  the  singer  had  made  her  way  nearer  to  the  bar,  close  enough  now  that  he  didn’t  have  to  raise  his  voice.  “  i  almost  feel  bad  only  catching  the  end,  but  it  was  lovely.  my  mother  would've  had  opinions  about  that  song,  ”  he  said  with  a  small  smile.  “  would  you  say  that’s  one  of  your  favourites  to  perform?  ”

SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS FLOATING as she drifted from the stage, through the small crowd, and towards the bar. with her obligations over for the event, fifi was able to relax with a well deserved drink knowing her voice would have time to rest before she needed to use it again. putting herself into the public made her open to comments and criticisms more than the average cat, taking each critique and compliment as a means to improve her skills. a few people briefly congratulated her on a job well done as she passed, but it wasn't until she made it to the bar that someone engaged in a conversation about her set. "you can find me performing most evenings at club rosanova," she gave a playful wink as she hopped into the spot beside him. his interest in her work made fifi take a more serious approach, always excited to talk about music with those who appreciated it. "it was one of the first songs i learned on piano, my mother used to sing it to me — makes it easy to pick up and do whenever."

his   lips   formed   a   grin   within   seconds   and   he   wastes   no   time   as   he   lets   the   coin   roll   lazily   between   his   fingers   before   flipping   it   in   the   air.    he   watches   the   metal   spin   between   them   until   it   lands   on   the   back   of   his   hand,    his   grin   widening.    “   heads,   ”    a   pause.    “   which   is   honestly   great   news   for   me,   ”    the   coin   slips   back   into   his   pocket.    “   you   seemed   very   concerned   about   me   getting   you   into   trouble,   so   …   what   would’ve   happened   if   it   landed   tails   ?   ”

DARK EYES FOLLOWED THE COPPER piece as it flew through the air before it settled on her companion’s hand, anticipation flowing through her body as he revealed the head side up. "what a shame, i was looking forward to hearing your offer," phoebe shook her head in faux disappointment of the outcome but the playful tone of her voice said otherwise. "i hear lido bellanotte can get rowdy after dark — i have to at least wait until my set is over before i can get white girl wasted."

“   an   aspiring   vocalist   ?   ”    she   repeated,    her   eyes   face   immediately   brightening,    eyes   glinting.    “   that’s   already   way   cooler   than   most   answers   i’ve   gotten   tonight,   ”    her   glossied   lips   formed   a   big   smile,    flashing   her   pearly   whites   as   she   released   fifi’s   hand.    “   come   on,    that’s   not   a   flaw   …   unless   you’re   one   of   those   people   who   randomly   sing   in   conversations   like   they’re   in   a   glee   episode,   ”    a   pause.    “   actually,    scratch   that.    even   if   you   do   that,    i’d   still   respect   the   commitment,   ”    niya   let   out   a   giggle   and   at   the   sound   of   her   words,    she   pointed   towards   herself,    eyebrows   slightly   raising   in   a   surprise    —    though   honestly,    there   shouldn’t   be   any.    “   that’s   probably   because   capri   has   the   population   of   a   group   chat,    give   it   a   few   weeks   and   everyone   will   accidentally   know   all   of   your   business.    i’m   niya,   ”    as   she   rests   her   arms   on   her   knees,    which   are   now   brought   up   to   her   chest,    she   focuses   her   brown   hues   on   fifi.    “   so,    what   kind   of   singer   are   we   talking   about   ?   ”    she’s   genuinely   curious.    “   because   you   know,    there’s   a   very   big   difference   between   ‘i’m   talented   so   i   sing   at   cute   little   cafés’   and   ‘i   pretend   i’m   in   a   music   video   when   i   sing   in   the   shower’   …   personally,    i’m   a   strong   supporter   of   both,   ”

"MAYBE NOT AS INTENSE AS an episode of glee, but i was very active in theatre growing up as theatre kids are quite similar," she joked with the newcomer, glad she seemed encouraging of her growing career as opposed to thinking it was a waste of time. while her immediate circle was supportive of her wanting to pursue the arts, but she had heard a fair share of negativity over the years and always came prepared to defend herself. "i suppose people being in my business comes with the territory," she joked, but took mental note of her new companion's comment. "it's a pleasure to meet you."

"i've been working at club rosanova as their lounge singer in the evenings, so perhaps a step up from singing at cute little cafes." fifi's face glowed at the sound of niya's genuine interest, summer sun glistening in her brown irises, turning them gold as she began to gush. "i was actually signed with a local agency her in capri recently, i'm hoping that will start pick up traction soon."

Shae has only been in Capri for less than a week. The past few days feel like a whirlwind, and every time she stops to think about the fact that she essentially ran away from her whole life, she gets nauseous. She's been trying to tell herself that she didn't 'run away', exactly. She just... took a break. A quick, maybe month-long break a country away from the fiance she was vacationing with and a whole ocean away from her life in New York. There's a very real, very high chance she'll be back there by July, anyway, just as soon as she figures out.... whatever the hell is going on inside her head. For now, she needs desperately to think about anything else. So when the luxury beach club not far from her hotel is advertising a bonfire to celebrate the season, she thinks this is the perfect opportunity to get lost in. Capri doesn't disappoint; the music is great, the food delicious, and after a couple of drinks, the night is almost starting to feel how it used to back in her more enjoyable socialite days. She relishes in the warmth in her chest easily cooled by the coastal breeze, swaying to the lively music. She swears she's nowhere near drunk, but she maybe doesn't have the best balance even sober, so it is definitely entirely her fault when she sways a little too far and nearly knocks into someone, almost tripping over her own sandal in the process. "Mi scusi!" Shae chirps, using the baseline Italian she can remember, praying whoever it is will understand her.

THE SINGER'S HEAD WAS DOWN, focus on digging through her purse to find the white bandana she had packed to help hold hair out of her face in the beach breeze. her finger brushed against the fabric, pulling the cloth out of her bag just as another body collided with hers.

"mi dispiace, i wasn't paying attention" fifi apologized, immediately turning from her purse to the other. she gave her companion a quick once over, dark orbs falling on the piece of jewelry hanging on her neck. "what a beautiful necklace, i've never seen anything like it before."

"I'M LONGING TO LINGER 'TIL DAWN, dear, just saying this," the velvet words left red lips, amplified by the sound of the microphone propped before her. her brown irises lifted from the piano keys before her, feeding off the energy of the partygoers as adrenaline filled her system. performing gave a high no drug could replicate, there was no moment where fifi felt more alive than when she was on stage. "sweet dreams, 'til sunbeams find you. sweet dreams, that leave all worries far behind you."

she took a deep breath, preparing for the final notes as she finished out the jazz tune. "but in your dreams, whatever they be, dream a little dream of me~" the applause rippled through fifi's body, causing her entire being to glow in satisfaction. it didn't matter the size of the stage, she was found herself stealing the show and now wasn't any different. "thank you, please tip your servers and enjoy the rest of the party!"

she   appeared   out   of   nowhere,    dropping   onto   the   empty   space   beside   them   without   much   hesitation.    “   wait,   ”    niya   adjusted   the   blanket   beneath   her,    the   look   on   her   face   clearly   indicating   that   she’s   too   pleased   with   herself.    “   the   invitation   specifically   encouraged   sharing   blankets   with   strangers,   ”    finally,    she   explains   after   watching   the   confusion   forming   on   their   face.    her   arms   moved   up   and   down   in   a   careless   shrug.    “   i   think   if   we   both   commit   to   the   bit,    we   can   make   it   work,   ”    her   lower   lip   moved,   forming   a   pout   and   within   a   fraction   of   a   second,    she   held   out   her   hand   very   dramatically.    “   so   ..   what’s   your   name   ?    what   are   your   hopes   and   dreams   ?    your   biggest   flaw   ?   ”

[polarnighttime]

THE BRIGHT ITALIAN SUN SHONE against the rolling waves, glistening as the water crashed against the white sand in a hypnotic fashion. so much so, fifi hardly noticed the other approaching until she plopped beside her, causing her to jump at the sudden change in environment. she was quick to match the newcomer's pace, smiling as the words left her lips and giving her hand a firm shake. "phoebe, but most call me fifi. i'm an aspiring vocalist, which some might say is my biggest flaw. i think i've seen you around be i don't think i ever caught your name . . . ?"

FIFI QUIRKED AN EYEBROW AT the other's request. "well hello to you too," she gave a soft chuckle at his abysmal explanation before considering his question. "hmm, i pick tails. but only if that means something good and you're not going to get me into too much trouble. it's still early and we have lots of time to let loose."

WHO: Anyone! WHERE: Anywhere!

"Alright, so what are the plans for this summer?"

[polarnighttime]

FRENCH TIPPED NAILS TAPPED AGAINST the glass of cherry negroni in fifi's hand, considering the other's question. the brunette had been working nonstop lately, both on sets for club rosanova and her own projects with her agency, that she hardly realized summer already made its way to the island.

"i've been thinking of changing up my nightly set to include more classical summer songs. you know, something like "summertime" by ella fitzgerald or "beach and breezin" by george benson."

what’s the word around phoebe dahll in capri these days ? don’t look at me like that,  you know them — they go by fifi,  you know,  the twenty nine year old coastal regular.  you can probably find them at club rosanova as a lounge singer where people describe them as air headed and vain,  but others swear they’re enthusiastic and optimistic if you catch them at the right moment.  they fit somewhere between group sleepovers & at-home spa days with friends, singing karaoke loudly with other former theatre kids, manicured nails tapping against a champagne flute, & practicing new makeup looks & sketching fashion designs,  though most people associate them with cherries & cherry flavored/inspired items.

full name: phoebe dahll nickname: fifi gender & pronouns: cis woman & she/her sexuality: bisexual, biromantic height: 5'4” languages: ( fluent ) norwegian, english, french ( intermediate ) italian

BIO

born with a silver spoon in one hand and love of the stage in the other, phoebe “fifi” dahll never had to worry about her parents supporting her love of theatre. they attended every show, even with their busy corporate schedules, showering her in support and praise even for the smallest of roles. this support continued throughout her life, allowing her to explore herself and different interests even if her parents were oftentimes busy and unavailable.

from her love of the stage, fifi discovered a new love: makeup. what started off as stage makeup for her school’s shows turned into a full blown fascination with special and practical effects. after graduating high school, her parents were fully supportive of her dream to pursue makeup artistry. she began furthering her studies with a focus on multimedia make-up.

during her studies, fifi decided to create a separate social media account where she could post her digital portfolio in an attempt to gain traction and work. by posting her unconventional fashion and makeup looks, fifi soon found herself gaining a steady amount of followers. followers turned to sponsors turned to brand deals and soon fifi was making a name for herself separate from her family. 

after fully graduating from her program, fifi wanted to go back to her roots in terms of the arts and began performing at local venues to garner attention for her performing abilities on stage and not just behind a screen. when a small talent agency based in italy expressed interest in working with her, fifi had no qualms moving from snowy norway to the warm beaches of capri.
