Dot.

Dot loved Halloween. The time of year, the festivities all of it. It was just so festive. And to see everyone celebrating was a bonus. She couldn’t help her excitement as she put the finishing touches on her costume. Then, she headed out to celebrate. There were just so many things to do, and she couldn’t decide where to start!

Dot Fortier as Wednesday Addams--Halloween 2019

Oswald looked at the girl for a moment, stepped off stage with a mic and handed it to her. Smiling a bit, he mouthed the words “Don’t worry.” to her. Looking back at the audience, he gave them a look, secretly motioning to the guy at the soundboard to turn on the trick microphone. It’d make her sound amazing, even if she didn’t do very well. The kid needed some confidence, it seemed. “Alright,” he said with a sigh, “Let’s do this.” As the music started playing, Oswald sang a bit of ‘Tomorrow’ from Annie, hoping the kid knew the words.

Though she spent most of her time studying, Dot did indulge in the occasional movie binge, and she happened to love musicals. So, when the music started playing a familiar tune, she let out the breath she’d been holding. She had this. “The sun will come out...tomorrow...bet your bottom dollar that...tomorrow, there’ll be sun! Just thinkin’ about...tomorrow...clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow...til there’s none!”

“Oh my god – You’re an absolute angel,” Bryoni offered a friendly smile and welcoming eyes. “Please.”

She smiled. “Hey, they’re kind of my weakness, so I tend to overindulge. Which can be a bad thing, so you’re doing me a favor in a way.”

Finally, a night off. Oswald finally got a night outside of his home. And that only meant one thing. Open mic night. His bit had come and gone, and people were just demanding more, so he figured he’d do something different this time. Looking around the audience, he pointed to a random girl. “C’mon up here,” he called out, “We’re gonna perform a song, kiddo. Have ya had any experience with this?”

Dot didn’t really let herself have a lot of time for hobbies. She kept busy with school, and she preferred it that way. But, every now and then, mostly so she didn’t have to hear Atta’s lecture’s about needing to let loose now and then, she’d go out. Of course, she took her laptop with her, so she could get some studying done on the go. She tried to stay out of people’s way, and just do her own thing. So, when she was called upon to go up on stage, Dot wasn’t sure how to react. “Uh..n--” She cleared her throat. “No. I definitely have not.” Not unless you counted singing into her hairbrush to the mirror, or the couple of times she did karaoke.

Liam was quick to shake his head. “Oh it’s not for me personally. It’s all work stuff,” He explained in a hurry. “Confidential of course so I can’t say anything, but plenty of people are already getting their party planning sorted. Me personally? I come up with a costume last minute and just go to whichever party I know is the best.”

“Ah, so it’s all about the parties then?” She laughed lightly. “I think it would be cool to design a really badass haunted house, like with a lot of tech stuff.” Her mind was already whirring with all kinds of ideas.

“ Usually its more, rake this path, educate these kids, feed the ducks kinda thing but cleaning up some people’s mess to make sure people are still around, well that’s all a part of it too. ”  Astrid smiled softly,  “ I’m just glad you like it. It’s definitely a home away from home for me. ”

“Well, it may not always be fun, but at least you’re in a place that you love. That’s the important part.” Dot knew that there were always going to be parts of life that weren’t enjoyable, but as long as you enjoyed what you did, and where you were, that was what mattered.

“Well, I’m no art expert by any means, but I think it has a lot of character. And hey, anyone who can take a boring bench and make it look interesting, that’s something.” Not to mention, graffiti was a real problem, and turning it into art was a great option.

“Neither am I.” She admitted with a laugh. “But to me it looks a little better than the graffiti that was here before, and looks far more pleasing than me trying wash it off in the morning.” It would have been down to her to restore the bench, so making it blend in with the park’s surroundings seemed the best idea.

[princessofpolkadots]

"Oh most definitely." Dot agreed with a slight nod. "You trying to...oh do you work here? That's so cool!" She smiled warmly. "I love this place, it's great." While Dot typically preferred the indoors, she could appreciate the finer points of being in the great outdoors.

And there she had it. Astrid backed away, pulling down her mask to look as the graffiti, which had gone from a green string of letters to a tree, some of it’s leaves browning in the weather. It looked better, she still would have preferred to leave it completely but something had to be done before all the dog workers showed up in the morning. There was a soft smile on her face as she started packing up, before spotting a female who had seen her.  “ Do you think it looks okay? ”  She asked, trying to break the ice.

“Oh you say it’s just September, but my mind’s already in October,” LIam laughed as he lifted his head from the notebook. “Party planning for Halloween is well and truly underway and let me tell you – I love it,” A grin exploded across his face. “It’s my favorite holiday.”

Dot smiled. She enjoyed Halloween herself, though she didn’t get quite so excited about it until at least October 1st. “Already?” She asked. “Well, I suppose preparation is a good thing. So, what are you planning. And what are you going to be?”

“All I am is hungry,” Bryoni grumbled. “I just want fucking food.”

“That is a mood.” Hungry was her constant state of existence. Dot offered a friendly smile. “I have extra cheesy fries if you want some.”

SOMEONE HAD DEFACED one of the park benches. It was simple vandalism, and she was off-duty but Astrid needed to do something about it. She had her own set of paints, non-toxic and non-irritant of course but was attempting to change up the feel of one of the benches. From vandalism to a work of art. Headphones on and in the zone, she hadn’t noticed anyone else in the area, it was pretty late after all. That didn’t mean there wasn’t going to be anyone around though. She just hoped people realised she wasn’t the one who’d defaced the bench in the first place.

[princessofpolkadots]

It was late, but Dot did her best thinking after the sun set. During daylight hours every one was always bustling around, always in a hurry. It was the calm, quiet hours of night that allowed for tranquil thoughts. As she walked through the park, she noticed a bench had been vandalized and that someone was currently turning that vandalism into art. Or at least that's what it looked like. Dot didn't want to startle her but she had headphones in and was unlikely to hear her. So Dot simply watched the creative process taking place.

“Oh, most definitely. It’s because of my mom and Atta that I try so hard. I want to make them proud.” Of course that wasn’t her only motivation, but it was certainly part of it. “I just don’t want to let anything hold me back. Because life puts obstacles in our path…not to impede us, not to stop us from accomplishing what we want, but to make us work harder.”

“In the end, would anything we do really be worthwhile if we didn’t have to work hard for it?” She doubted it.

It was also nice to have someone to work hard for. Daisy figured her people were probably more like Minnie and Donald, perhaps her parents but it had been a bit since she had spoken to them. “I hope nothing ever holds you back, you definitely deserve to do what you do without any obstacles.” Daisy could only hope that for anyone, especially someone so young who no doubt had experienced some push back for being just that. “It’s nice though, keeping that mentality and doing whatever you need to keep yourself going. So, what next big project is on the agenda?”

[princessofpolkadots]

Dot took a moment and thought about it before replying. "Next, I am going to attempt something that I am admittedly not very good at." A light laugh followed. "I tend to get carried away and forget to relax and enjoy life. So I'm going to enjoy what is left of summer."

She chuckled lightly. “I’ll remember to credit you for that statement in my autobiography.” She teased. “I’m kidding. I have no aspirations to be a writer. At least, none at this time.” She was far too busy to add anything else to her plate. “I will definitely do that.”

“Please, by all means!” He said with a chuckle “Well with your drive I’m sure even that will come sooner rather than later I’d suspect.” He smiled “It was certainly a pleasure meeting you Dot, I look forward to hearing from you.”

[princessofpolkadots]

"You never know what is around the corner." Life had a way of surprising people. "I'm sure our paths will cross again."

“Absolutely, I feel exactly the same way. It’s nice to know there are still people out there who want to help spread some light in the world. I absolutely stand by my earlier statement you are going to take the world by storm one day Dot, I absolutely admire your determination.” He smiled over at her. “Like I said, if I can help out in any way please let me know.”

She chuckled lightly. “I’ll remember to credit you for that statement in my autobiography.” She teased. “I’m kidding. I have no aspirations to be a writer. At least, none at this time.” She was far too busy to add anything else to her plate. “I will definitely do that.”

Hearing Dot talk about her thoughts on dreams and setting goals for herself and keeping away from thoughts that something is impossible truly warmed Daisy’s heart in the best way. At her age, Daisy was really only just becoming comfortable with letting her imagination run wild - she could only imagine where she’d be now if she had been much more outgoing in her ways then. She was happy for the young woman, that was for sure. “I really, truly hope you stick to that way of thinking.” Daisy said, the smile still plastered to her lips. “And of course I think at least one parent or family member seems to need to be wired to tell us how they think we should live our life, or to at least be there to keep things ‘real’ but as long as your mother is supportive of your ideas, even when she may think they’re a little too out there, that’s what really matters. A support system will get you very far.”

“Oh, most definitely. It’s because of my mom and Atta that I try so hard. I want to make them proud.” Of course that wasn’t her only motivation, but it was certainly part of it. “I just don’t want to let anything hold me back. Because life puts obstacles in our path...not to impede us, not to stop us from accomplishing what we want, but to make us work harder.”

“In the end, would anything we do really be worthwhile if we didn’t have to work hard for it?” She doubted it.

Daisy smiled brightly at her mention of what her father would say. That just made it all the more special. “Well I really like the sound of that and he sounds lovely. I have to say I agree with him. I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am today if I didn’t spend a little bit of time dreaming of reaching goals..”

“He was.” She said, softly. “I think sometimes my mom thinks I have my head in the clouds too much, but if I don’t dream of what I can become, if I don’t look towards the future, then what is the point?” She asked, with a casual shrug. “I believe that something impossible is only something possible that hasn’t been done yet.”
