"Oh you're the one composing that?" she asked with excitement in her voice "that's so cool. how's it coming along? I auditioned to be in the orchestra, so I've been practicing getting better at reading music with some sheet music I found at that antique store."

It had only been a few days since Poppy had found herself suddenly in a town she couldn't leave from, and on top of that there were nighttime monsters that looked like people. It really was a lot to process. She was lost in her own little world of thoughts. One moment thinking about how she could really go for some ice cream, because ice cream in the cold was somehow always better, and then the next wondering if she could find things to build puppets here. That's when she walked straight into the back of someone. She let out a little squeak at the collision and stepped back. "Sorry. I didn't mean to walk into you" she apologized "I didn't damage you, did I? I was thinking about ice cream. About getting some. I could get you some too to make up for walking into you. They have ice cream here, right? That would be such a terrible tragedy if they didn't"

"Hi!" Poppy grinned brightly as she stood in front of the table inside of the coffee shop. "I ordered two of the brownies with my coffee, but I think I misjudged how big they were. Would you like the other one? If you like brownies of course."

"I made waffles" Poppy said as she saw the other come into the kitchen. "I wasn't sure what kind everyone liked so I made regular and blueberry" Poppy wasn't the best at cooking, but waffles she could do. Especially since she'd bought one of those waffle machines from the antique shop.

"Ooo they have snow cones and ice cream" Poppy pointed to where they, and the popsicles were. She had a little bounce to her as she did. "Come on let's go get some" she took his hand, pulling him along with her

"Oh oh no" she shook her head with a grin, "the key to a puppet car is cardboard. That's what you have to build them out of. The key to my actual car is metal. I don't know what kind of metal though. Brass maybe? It's a gold-y color. So you really think it sounds like something you can fix here?"

"You didn't tell me you liked Izzie" It was the first thing out of Poppy's mouth after Connor had opened the door. It felt like forever since she'd seen the other, having been busy with the ballet as well as trying to get things all set for trying her hand out at having a stand at the Trading Post. She wasn't sure how many hours she'd locked herself in one of the rooms at the commune making new puppets in different styles, putting together little make your own puppet kits, and even just sorting out items people could buy individually. She was still thinking about whether or not she should ask Prince if he wanted to help her sometimes since it had been him that had suggested a booth after all. "also can I stay the night?" she asked, rocking back and forth a little, hands behind her back, knowing there was no way she was going to be able to make it back to the commune before dark.
