back street girl ((open))

Although she was obviously too old to really enjoy the playground, Mariposa was unbothered; she couldn't help that it was the perfect spot for her to improvise and hone her theater chops until school resumed! Mariposa adjusted her clothes as she stood up on one of the benches holding a script for a play she planned on auditioning for; she hoped for lead, but she would be just as content stage managing if there was no other choice!

She didn't think the play would involve singing, but it was important for an actress like her to always be prepared for whatever a director may throw at her! Feeling the crisp wind blow against her face, she began to loudly warm up her voice.

"Mommy made me mash my M&M's, oh my!"

Tiff was excited for Emerald to come and couldn’t wait for this year to kick off with Emerald who she adored. She needed to find some fun though in the mean time and was at the Community Park.

She was strolling until she found Estelle a smirk came down her face. “What are you crying about? You sound like an old lady crying, because her cat died.” she said with a bit of a dark glare.

"Mommy made me mash my M&M's, oh myyyyyyy!"

After a few more minutes of repeatedly singing that, she fanned her hands towards her face as if she had just emitted a decent amount of sweat from an intense performance on stage before hopping down from the bench. One step closer to harnessing her voice and honoring the craft that is theater!

Mariposa laughed at Tiffany playfully as she stretched her arm out as if she were holding a skull. "To be or not to be, that is the question!"

Yeah, she wasn't going to answer that. It wasn't her fault that some people weren't part of the coolest department in Ilvermorny!

"If you want a cry, here's a cry!"

Dropping her arm, she tried to look as small as possible while sniffing her nose. Then, a tear began to fall down. "Romeo...!"

It took a while for Tiffany to figure out that Estelle was being your typical drama and choir geek. Once Estelle noticed Tiffany comment and went onto one of her stupid drama moments. “You know you could always drop out of Ilvermorny to be apart of be of broadway, because I’m sure being trained by a professional actor or singer is far more better.” she said with a bit of an annoyed tone.

She hates drama kids.

She watched Estelle with a little bit of annoyance since she didn’t care much more crying girls. “Romeo is dead you thespian.” she said with a sigh. That play was one of the most stupidest things either, because of the death at the end.

“How was your break? Did you get enjoy time with your family?” asked Tiffany as an attempt to change the conversation.

@Mariposa Quahog

"Did you know that most actors and actresses on Broadway have their NEWTS AND have gone to the Academy for the Dramatic Arts?" There was no way she could get anywhere without more formal training, even if her uncle was the President! Mariposa wanted to show that she got her career out of merit, not out of nepotism!

Mariposa wasn't the biggest fan of sharing a dorm with Tiffany, but she just put up with it as they didn't interact a whole lot outside of that. Then she began to mime being in a box to avoid answering Tiffany's question. If her craft was being disrespected, she wasn't taking questions!

@Tiffany Cartwright

Tiffany knew where a lot of broadway actors were trained because she wasn't stupid. "I know that, and it's ashamed, maybe you should consider transferring there," she said giving a smile. There certainly wasn't a place for someone like Estelle in the likes of Ilvermorny to begin, and she wasn't going to start opening up. "You should consider going into the no-maj world, and trying to get a job as an actress," she said with a chuckle.

@Mariposa Quahog

"But I like not risking breaking the Statute of Secrecy!" Mariposa replied as she began twirling around as if she was a flamenco dancer.

With her habit of randomly pulling out her wand or a stick to serve as a placeholder prop, the last thing she wanted was an accidental use of magic in front of no-majs!
