Practice Makes Perfect || Open

The glamour and shine of being an actress was really overstated by those who weren’t in the industry, hours were long, busy and exhausting. And usually you couldn’t properly switch off when you went home because you had to learn lines. It was, however, Muffy’s passion and her heart, and she was the understudy of Juliet in Adonea Theatre’s upcoming production of Romeo & Juliet!

She made her way to the De Sainte-Coquille Park, planning on getting in some practice in the sun, finding a beautiful spot that was just off of the path where she could give it her all.

Script in hand she took a breath:

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?” She cried, her voice laced with anguish, and as she continued reciting the words she failed to notice the person nearby.

Just for a little bit Iris told herself. Sunlight wasn't an instant death for her, being a vampire, but it would provide discomfort if not kept in check. With the amount of people, she figured that no one would notice one girl sitting under an umbrella that would leave within an hour or two anyw...

♥ - “Oh no, I wholeheartedly agree! I also want to find something meaningful and lasting.” She giggles. “I’ve already had my fun, so it’s about time I settle down a bit.”

Felicity takes a sip of her own tea, rosy red lips curling along the rim as an amused smile makes its way across her face at Muffy’s comment. So far, the two of them seemed to share so many things in common, but this was definitely something they weren’t in agreement on.

      “Are they? I think fish are quite delightful, myself. I mean, they’re so delicious! Fish and seafood are actually some of my favorite foods.” She takes another sip of tea. “But I won’t deny that apple pie would make for a much more pleasant comparison.” 

Muffy’s eyebrows rose as she listened to Felicity’s opinion, fish? Delightful? Muffy had never heard anything like it. Everyone was entitled to believe what they wanted to believe but fish and delicious were two words she’d rather not have to cope with.

“I don’t like anything that comes from the sea.” She said in response, “Well, sometimes tuna, but only on the rarest of occasions.” She cracked a smile at the thought of an apple pie being her lifelong companion.

“Apple pie is my favourite food, I don’t think a person could possibly match up to that.” She let out a giggle, “Or even a curry. I do love curry, too.”

Alex gave her a self-assured grin. “That’ll be me,” he said, mimicking a victory shake with his hands. 

There was a couple of moments of silence as they began eating their starters, gauging how good the food was. “Oh, wow, this is great,” he said on his third forkful. He’d known it would be, of course; it was his favourite starter whenever he came here. But the kitchen never failed to impress. 

“How’s yours?”

He’d never tried the asparagus dish that she’d ordered. As delicious as it looked, Alex needed much more protein than it offered to feel full. 

The blonde hummed in agreement, swallowing another bite of her food. “Fantastic,” She replied, “If this is how good the starters are then I’m looking forward to getting the main course.” She put her fork down, taking another sip of her wine.

The thing with dinner dates was that you could sit in silence eating for the entire time, leaving a terrible impression all around, and that wasn’t quite what Muffy wanted to do. With the obligatory ‘how’s the food’ out of the way she was worried they’d reach that uncomfortable silence.

Putting her glass back down she looked at Alex, “Do you cook at all yourself, Alex?” She asked, “Someone who clearly takes such good care of himself must be pretty good with food, too, right?”

Beach Day 2019 - Muffy

It was no secret that the summer was Muffy’s favourite time of year, and Beach Day her absolute favourite island festival. Every single year, when summer came around, Muffy would spend every waking moment she wasn’t sleeping or working at the beach, and she knew this year would be no exception. 

Her swimsuit for beach day may have had some interesting tan line potential, but for Muffy soaking up the sun and looking a treat were about equally as important, and she was super into the strappy swimsuits on the market lately.

“Oh, not anymore. I’m normally in the kitchen but today I finally decided to try and get back to it. Today is a sort of debut for me, in a way, he he.” Odette answered with shared enthusiasm, truly glad she appreciated her performance earlier.

“I might have to work on how I finish the performance, but failure is an experience in itself, I always say!” She pumps herself up, never one to let one small mistake keep her down. “Are you one of our guests here or are you just checking in? I’d like to think I most know of our tenants but you’re a new face.”

Offering a hand and a friendly smile, Odette introduced herself to the blonde beauty, hoping to be well acquainted with her, “I’m Odette Brunel, one of the sisters of this inn!”

Muffy nodded, an interested expression present on her face. “Well, consider me a fan!” She smiled. “It’s scary putting yourself out there in the beginning, but you’re really good, so I have no doubt people will want to hear more of your singing!”

“If you don’t fail once or twice it’s no fun, in my opinion!” She said, before shaking her head. “I’m just here for the night. I live in Leuda, but I work over in Adonea theatre, so sometimes I have to stay here if I have work early.” 

The blonde took the others hand, shaking it. “Muffy Montserrat. It’s nice to meet one of the sisters behind the name! Do all of you sing?”

[ ♥ ] — The brief falter in Muffy’s smile doesn’t escape Felicity’s notice, but she doesn’t comment on it. Upon hearing her roommate’s following statement, the reason behind that look of sadness became painfully apparent to the waitress. It was easy to understand because it was a feeling Felicity could also relate to… not being quite lucky in love.

“Oh, I see… and it’s pretty much the same for me,” She giggles, “I’ve dated around, but I haven’t found the one yet, you know? That person I can truly share a special, lasting connection with.”

Although her lack of a love life could be rather disheartening at times, Felicity opted to keep an open and optimistic mindset. Even if it wasn’t happening for her now, she was sure it would someday! So she winks, hoping to spread some of that optimism to Muffy too. “But there are plenty fish in the sea, and I’m sure there’s one for each of us! We’ll find our people eventually~♪”

Ah, a kindred spirit when it came to love. Just another point on the long list of similarities they shared. Muffy took another sip of her tea, nodding sagely. “And that the most important thing, isn’t it?” She mused, “I hate to be like ‘that’ but... I feel like if I’m going to date it needs to be serious. I’m not looking for that casual fling anymore, I want to find the person I can spend the rest of my life with.”

She held back a sigh, a little lost in her own thoughts, that was until Felicity next words sent nothing short of a shiver down her spine.

“Fish?!” She repeated. Sure, she knew the saying... But imagining a lover as a fish, well... “Can’t my partner be an apple pie or something? Fish are so scary!”

[ ☀ ] — “Well, sure, you could look at it that way! I guess it just depends on how you personally see it.” Lillie finishes chopping the onions and takes the tissue with a small thank you and a smile.  

Once the vegetables were all nicely chopped, Lillie does a head count of all their current ingredients. Onions and carrots were chopped, peas were sitting to the side, the rice was cooking, and… right, the eggs.

She takes the two eggs and cracks them into a bowl, lightly beating them as she continues to speak, “Some people think of all the little details and technicalities while they’re cooking, and others just wing it and rely on their gut instincts. I think I’m sort of a mix? When I first started out, I worried over every little thing. Now it just comes naturally…”

Trailing off, Lillie looks towards the skillet, and adds, “Oh, hey, do you think you could start the pan up? Just put it on medium heat and let it warm for a while. We’re finally gonna start frying everything soon~♪”

Muffy watched with a sense of awe at how expertly Lillie cracked the eggs, the last time she’d tried that she... Well, let’s say she should’ve kept the eggs in the shell.

“Wow...” Muffy nodded, “I can’t wait to be good enough at this that I don’t have to think about how much to add. I’ll just have to make stir fry every single day!~” She exclaimed, clasping her hands together. She turned to the cupboard, taking out the pan and placing it on the stove.

“Do I need to put oil or anything in the pan?” She asked, although she was pretty certain she did. That time with the shelly eggs? She’d also had to buy a new pan. A non-stick one.

Dear Tina,

Living with you is such a treat! You bring such a fire and spark to my life, never stop investigating!  ♥

Dear Felicity,

My fellow food lover, Pelago Islands watcher, and one of my closest friends. Moving in with you was the best choice I’ve ever made, and I wouldn’t change it for the world!  ♥

Muffy

When she was at the broadcasting station she had a single orange gerbera delivered to her idol and friend, @oaktreeweathergirl

Dear Lillie,

I thought an orange flower was fitting for someone so filled with sunshine, like you! Thanks again for the cooking lesson, my stir fry is seriously amazing, now! Next time let’s make an apple pie!  ♥

Since she’s been focusing on her culinary skills for the last two years, Odette hasn’t sung in a crowd in a long while now. Today, she was going to change that. Even if she wasn’t known as a singer, booking Three Sisters Inn didn’t prove to be difficult. Perhaps because her older sister was the boss and she worked (and lived!) there too. 

And the performance itself? She did pretty good! Not the most stellar of performances, but at least she didn’t embarrass herself. Next time she’ll work on finishing better.

She sang for the guests at the inn, her voice soothing and calm, hips moving and swaying along in tune to the melody. With her ability as a songstress, her singing had a small effect to the ones listening, like a mild happiness potion but through song. When she was done, she curtsied in front of her small crowd, happy and content with the outcome.

“So what did you think? ♪” She approached one of the people watching, mood still giddy.

Muffy didn’t often get a lot of time to relax in Arcadia, but she’d been rehearsing at Adonea Theatre that day, and had an early call time again the next morning. The theatre had graciously paid for her to have a night at the Inn, but she’d been too tired to even leave it. As it happened there was a singer performing at the inn that evening, and Muffy found it very easy to get lost in her dulcet tones.

As the performance came to an end Muffy couldn’t help but feel a little more positive, the singing had been nice and the entire atmosphere of the room just felt lighter. She sat, silently watching the people around her, tourists, possibly even other Arcadians, enjoying their time. Her attention turned at the sound of the voice, and she found it was the very girl that had been performing.

“Wonderful!” Muffy replied enthusiastically, “You have a really nice voice,” she continued, smiling brightly, “Do you do a lot of singing or...?”

Alex shrugged modestly. “I mean, I was captain of the football team back in high school… But, y’know, you should always strive to be better, or you won’t make it anywhere. So I’ve been pushing myself ever since.” 

He laughed at her cliche sentiment. “You bet. One day, I’ll be in my mansion, getting ready to go to the deciding match of the season. I’ll switch on the TV and there you’ll be.” He spread his hands in front of him like he was announcing a headline. “Pelago Forever: Volume 2. Worldwide hit.” 

As he was goofing around, he saw the waiter approaching with their starters and straightened in his chair. He accepted the plate holding the scallops and the waiter set down the asparagus in front of his date. 

“Thanks!” he said, and the waiter smiled, nodded and moved on. “Oh, wow, this looks good.”

Muffy couldn’t agree more with his attitude, everyone always said that if you worked hard enough you could do anything, and she wanted to believe that was true.

“Oh, please,” the blonde scoffed, “when you’re off playing in the big leagues you won’t have time to switch the TV on!” She laughed, but she couldn’t help feel good at the image that brought to her mind. Maybe he was right. “More like I’ll be seeing you on the cover of a newspaper or something after you’ve broke another world record for the most goals scored in a season.”

Her eyes turned to the starters in front of them, and she picked up her cutlery, cutting the asparagus in half. “Looks and smells delicious,” she replied, “Honestly, I’m glad the food’s here. I didn’t realise how hungry I was.”

[ ☀ ] — “See, you’ve got it! Keep this up, and you’ll be making meals in no time.” Lillie further encourages the woman, sparing a moment to glance at Muffy’s handiwork before refocusing on her own task. Due to years of cooking in the kitchen, chopping vegetables was a simple task for the weather girl.

She cuts through the onion with ease as Muffy asks a question, the inquiry pulling a chuckle out of the brunette. “Well, yeah, but not in a wailing sort of way, y’know? There’s this chemical that emits from the onion, and it can irritate your tear glands, which causes the watery eyes… or ‘crying’, I guess you could say.”

Lillie’s own eyes began to tear up a bit, and she wipes them away with a smile. “Hehe, see?”

Muffy nodded in a way she hoped looked sage and understanding. So using onions to induce tears was off of the list of ‘Ideas To Make You Cry Before Filming’, that was fine, she had a few other options. Including ‘thinking about sloths’ and ‘smell fish’. 

“That’s pretty interesting,” Muffy replied, continuing to slice her vegetables, almost finished with them, “I guess I never really thought about the science behind cooking.” she considered, “Like, some people say that’s what cooking is: a science.” She said, handing Lillie a tissue in case of any extra tears.

[ ♥ ] — Once the topic turns to behind the scenes info on her favorite soap opera, Felicity excitedly bounces in her seat as she leans closer to see the pictures on Muffy’s phone. Ah, the thrill of learning information that only a select few people were privy to… she could only imagine this was how Tina felt when she finally got her hands on a juicy scoop. Honestly, it brought back a nostalgic rush from Felicity’s own journalism days.

But right now, she was merely a civilian enjoying a delightful spot of insider tea. “Oh, you think? I can definitely see the appeal in the Roxas and Xion coupling… they’ve been getting quite a bit of tease lately! I never would have considered the others, though…” She gives a thoughtful hum. When it came to fan bases, Felicity never really involved herself too deeply, so she had no idea what the general consensus on romance preferences were. 

“But they’d be cute! Though Roxas and Naminé have history, so I’m personally rooting for them.” She sips at her (literal) cup of tea, using her comment as a segue into another topic she held close to her heart: dating. Not regarding fictional characters, but her roommate. Felicity was interested in knowing if Muffy had her eye on anyone, or if she’d have to be on the lookout for any late night visits. ♪

She smiles, “And if you don’t mind my asking… what about you? Is there a special someone in your life I should be rooting for?”

Muffy had to admit, she felt some pride at how she was considered a source of information for the other blonde, after all, in the industry she worked in it was only natural to discover spits and spots of information about shows and movies. She would always be careful to never give too much away, but a little tease now and again wasn’t going to hurt, was it?

Muffy’s smile momentarily dropped at Felicity’s next question, as the sad reality was no. There was no one special in her life. There hadn’t been anyone special in her life for a long time, really. And that wasn’t for lack of trying, Muffy wanted so badly to find the one, to find someone she could spend the rest of her life with, but it never ended well. Whatever the reason, she would always end up alone, miserable and back to square one. Be it because they move away, or they secretly had another girlfriend the entire time, or because they were never looking for anything serious.

But her smile returned as quickly as it had fallen, and she shook her head. “I’ve been on a couple of dates, but I don’t see anything serious coming from it. I’m about as single as you can get, really,” she laughed awkwardly, “but what about you? I’d find it hard to believe someone as pretty as you doesn’t have suitors lining up!”
