“Before anyone asks, no, my mom is not responsible this time. Though, I gotta say, I’m a little bummed that I can’t go play in this. I have such a high tolerance for cold, I wouldn’t even need a coat.” 

Yasmine had thought her luck couldn’t be any better when she’d gotten paired with Romi for the evening, but that had been before it had started snowing. “You’re kind of obnoxiously adorable when you’re all excited like this, you know that?” she chuckled softly, reaching out to place a hand on her date’s shoulder, leaning into her as she peered out the window at the snow. “Now might not be the best time for it, but I promise that I’ll go out and play in it with you in the morning. I have a feeling that even after an all night lock-in I’m still not going to be ready for this date to end.”

Mm, I tend to think of it more as a celebration for my final day of being able to do whatever the fuck I want. But we can go with that, too. 

Hey, I think the fact that you think marriage means you can’t do whatever you want anymore is just more proof of my point, right? But sure, celebration! What do you want to do before you suddenly can’t anymore?

Who’s ready to help me celebrate my final weeks of being single? Because I’m certainly ready. 

A party devoted to rebelling against being tied to one man for the rest of eternity? Count me in.

Shray: Not if you exclusively paint bullseyes. :P LOL nope, I think I'll just accept my legacy without having to fight for it too much, but I would like to implement more of a democracy than a monarchy. While my mother has supreme power, I don't, so I think I'd need a full Congress to support me!

Shray: Ah, I don't blame you. That's not exactly everyone's type. Yep! Honestly? Same. I'm glad I have my mother's legacy to carry on, but it's much more satisfying to have people vote you in as a democracy.

Of course! And not just in the boring ‘let’s make this all a new color’ kind of way. I’m really into murals.

Shray: Hmmm...maybe marry into royalty? Marry Juliette De la Bete and rule her kingdom! You get a rather adorable kid out of it, too. I know because one of my dear friends is always talking about babysitting and that kid is one of two that we've got in town. :P

S t o p. You flatter me! I totally have that same thing, though, which is why I’m elated to have you on my team for this show. Yeah? Maybe I should have individual meetings with all the designers first, you might be right. Might make things flow better that way. 

Right, of course. All the designers, it would only be fair. It’s what the show deserves. For one lowly little set painter to be trying to hog the genius in charge of it all just wouldn’t be right... although be warned, she might try.

Shray: hahahahaha that seems like a beautiful fantasy, Ms. Darling! Maybe when you run a town, your citizens can freely vandalize as they so wish. :)

Shray: And how do you suggest we regulate that kind of stuff? Would artists such as yourself need to obtain a license? That sounds like a lot more trouble than it's worth, imo.

Me? Having an effect on you? That’s so flattering, wow. Nut. We should um…have a meeting about my vision! You know, so we’re on the same page about color schemes and stuff. And I mean, costume designers and stuff would totally be invited too! 

Of course! I’ve kind of got this thing where I’m a big fan of talented, creative people, and you definitely fit the bill better than basically anyone else in Walt. And yeah, of course I’m down to meet. With you and the costume designers, or, you know, with just you. 

Shray: I'm sorry your artistic bug has apparently been stifled, Miss Darling! However, even painting beautiful art in an alley is considered vandalism. If you must make art, my mother encourages one of our many art programs and special activities! Thank you. -- Shray Majik
