Salad Days || Allison & Mary Jane
Sparks of nerves jump up into Allison's throat as she approaches the large building housing the local community theater. It's not exactly worn down, but it's not mint condition either, and it also has a warm, homey sort of feeling that she likes and which all theaters seem to share. She's smiling as she steps inside the large auditorium and sees the people gathered there for the auditions.
It's wide and open and the people are chatting relaxedly while she makes her way down the aisles toward the group. She looks around at all of the new faces; she feels a bit nervous, knowing that she has to make entirely new connections in an entirely new city. Okay, maybe she's more than a bit nervous. She has to take a breath to calm herself down as she approaches them, but when she does she's able to put herself into that mindset that lets her conquer.
She might fake flirt at work but here she's genuinely invested in getting to know these people. And okay, introducing yourself to an entirely new crowd of people wasn't exactly killing vampires in the cool pearly moments before dawn in the city. But it was still an accomplishment when she made her way to the group and started looking around for someone to make eye contact with and start greeting.
