~Playlist~

She comes across as rather uncaring on a personal level but at least it’s clear as day how seriously she takes her job. She seems to have a deep understanding of the craft and is able to corral any group into a well-oiled machine despite her less than stellar people skills. As the assistant director, you’ll be sure to see her more often from now on. Maybe you can even learn how to overlook past her cold exterior and find a friend in her.

Appearance: A woman of Irish descent. She seems to wear almost exclusively formal attire of some kind, blazer and slacks do seem to be her norm however. She has pale green eyes and vibrant orange hair that curls excessively and trails down her back, though it is almost always tied up into a bun. Her most distinguishable features are her button nose and a small beauty mark above the left corner of her mouth.

Height: 6'0, she's a bit insecure about it. She tries to slouch as much as she can without looking like a slob or unprofessional. While also avoiding heels like a plague.

"ELIJAH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??"

"Im Dancing!"

GALTx eNews: Special Foster Homes Needed For Special Hounds!

Our foster team works hard to move our newly arriving hounds out of boarding and into foster homes quickly so that they can move on to finding forever families. Some of our hounds have special needs though, and the wait for the right foster home can take longer than we would like.

For example, Pumpkin (pictured) needs to move to a quiet foster home so that he can start his heartworm treatment. He is a bit of an alpha dog and will do best in a foster home without other dogs or with only female dogs. Pumpkin loves people and longs for cuddles. He will blossom with confidence once he is in a stable home environment. As you can probably imagine, foster homes without other dogs or with only female dogs that can also manage heartworm treatments are hard to find. Tripod Shyanne and Iris are in a similar situations, both needing foster homes without cats or small dogs until their forever families come along.

If you're in the Dallas or Fort Worth areas and sometimes wonder if fostering would work for you, please reach out to our foster team at [email protected] with any questions. Fostering doesn't have to be a long term commitment. You can start out offering your home to a foster dog whose foster family will be away on a short summer vacation. Dogs needing a vacation foster home will be with you for a short, defined period of time and have already lived in a home. If you find the experience rewarding (and we think you will), you can move on to offering a place to stay for a hound like Pumpkin or Shyanne that needs a special place until their forever families find them. Read more about our foster program and complete an on-line application here. Thank you!

Shyanne passes a tip to the driver just before stepping out of the car, allowing herself a moment to stretch. A part of her was still questioning why she was even entertaining this. She had made enough of a name for herself as a director that she hardly had to accept an offer as an assistant director, let alone when the offer came from one with no credibility or experience in the business.

Moxine Solstice.

That was the woman who had contacted her. Directly. Through her personal number no less. Bombarding her DM's with a plethora of attachments. She had half a mind to block the number and never even think about it again.

But curiosity had won over in the end and she gave the files a once-over. And even Shyanne would admit that she was impressed; Moxine had sent her samples of the musical she had finished. Three different pieces of music, sections of the script, a recording of her performing a dance number. All of which she proudly–and repeatedly–told Shyanne she made on her own.

So, she decided to test the waters, she contacted Moxine and asked a few cursory questions to gauge her commitment. What are your expectations of this play? Do you have any estimate for the budget? What size do you want the crew to be? And to her surprise, the girl didn't seem to be as out of her element as she had expected.

Long story short–it led to this, a meeting at a café to iron out the details. She had told Moxine to not get her hopes up, claiming she was still undecided on whether or not she'd be willing to work under a novice. But the truth? She was very eager to get the project off the ground. It was one thing to buy the rights from an established play and perform, but a whole different matter to create one from the ground up.

Sure, Moxine was the one who made it. Which meant, yes, the rights would be held solely by Moxine. But that didn't mean Shyanne wouldn't benefit from the project if it impressed the right people. Rubbing shoulders was the key to the industry after all.

So there she stood, in front of the café, cradling her phone as she contemplated messaging Moxine. Perhaps it was an option to go in and wait for her but she wanted to send the right message; Moxine was the one who should be waiting on baited breath for her. Plus, she would look like a bumbling fool if she went in with her head on a swivel searching for someone else. The people in there would look at her like was some desperate girl terrified of being stood up. Which she most certainly was not. As a matter of fact, this wasn't even a date. And, to be honest, if it was, Moxine would be the nervous one. Not that it was a date. That would be–

Ding!

Shyanne jumps so badly that the phone almost leaps from her hand as she fumbles to catch it. Once she does, she rests one hand on her chest to soothe her racing heart as she looks around to ensure nobody bore witness to her display. Only to find that one in particular certainly had.

Moxine fucking Solstice.

The girl was seated right in front of the window, laughing with her head thrown back, without a single care towards the people in the café staring at her sudden outburst. Shyanne found a certain degree of vindication that Moxine was being judged for her behavior. It was only fair. At least now they were both being mocked.

She allowed herself a moment to regain her composure as checked the notification from her phone. Oh, a message from Moxine.

Whatcha doin?

Oh, that was embarrassing. How long had she been standing there? It only felt like a moment but maybe it was a few minutes? Was it too late to leave? Moxine would hardly take her seriously after that display after all. Besides, she wouldn't be damaging her reputation if she simply walked away from this meeting. She had all the power here after all.

Ding! Another message. Thankfully, she didn't get scared again.

Sorry for laughing lol I'll buy u a coffee

A stupid gif of two cats cuddling soon follows the message.

Cmere already =( I'll get u a muffin too

She finally looks up from her phone and back towards Moxine at the window. She's dabbing tears from her eyes with a napkin as she holds her other hand up and wiggles her finger as greeting towards Shyanne.
