open starter! where? in the yard at major's house!
VIOLET knew how to get a crowd hyped up. for the past couple of months, she'd be spending her time trying to teach herself gymnastics, and she'd learned early on how much of a crowd pleaser it was. was she good? no! she'd twisted an ankle or landed flat on her ass or nearly split her head open more times than she'd actually landed anything but that didn't matter. it was all about the suspense. the will she-won't she of it all. she marched with determination through the house, out into the yard, nudging people as she did to try and get their attention.
“come one, come all!” she called out, like an overexcited child. “i'm gonna do a fucking backflip!” she bent down to unlace her boots, kicking them to the side along with her socks. she looked up to a see of strangers - the perfect audience for a backflip! they had no idea that she was self-taught! - and picked out a familiar face. “hey, come spot me!” she said with a grin, reaching out for their arm. “i don't really know what a spotter really does, but i know they're a thing and i wanna do this right.”
