(oh my god that's my favorite thing)
Tyler was putting his makeup on. First, it was the foundation. There was an entire ton of it. Then came eyeliner, lipstick, and eyebrows. He couldn't believe how much, even though he'd done it for two years.

Elliot was low key flipping out, for more reasons than one. One they were going on a date. Which meant they would actually be going outside of the shop. Which prompted reason two of being stressed, would they, would she be recognized?

Tyler was epically nervous. His significant other(maybe?) was coming to see his show. This doesn't happen. Second off, he- wait he thought. she/her since I'm in drag now- she couldn't find her socks. "Has anyone seen my socks?" she called to the dressing room. Someone had and gave them to her. "Thanks, Es!" She put on her heels and was ready even though there was still a half hour.

Elliot lightly hit their head against the wall “don’t be stupid” they grumbled to themselves. They realized they should probably get ready now, swearing quietly, This was gonna be stressful but hopefully it’d be worth it.

Tyler couldn't stop checking the time.
8:26
8:27
Each second lasted an hour, each minute lasted a day, and Tyler couldn't keep looking at his phone. She powered it down and sat on the couch. Deep breaths, Tyler. You'll be fine.

Elliot was there, a little bit early actually. That was good. They had no issues on the way there and were less stressed now.

Tyler texted Elliot. hey. you here yet? She took a deep breath and pressed send. I hope they're here. she thought to herself.

yeah, just got here. Elliot texted back quickly with a small smile. thanks for the tip to get here early

no problem Tyler texted back, a grin widening across her face. it's already getting packed, isn't it?

yeah you weren’t kidding! Luckily Elliot had gotten away from most of the crowd, keeping their anxiety down.

so uh are you excited to see the show?
Tyler texted, not sure what to say but wanting to keep the conversation going.
it'll be… interesting, to say the least.

yup. You’re gonna do great
Elliot smiled. He was so awkward sometimes and it was honestly pretty cute. They reminded themselves not to get too relaxed, to not let their guard down.

"I'm sorry goddess." One of the attendants said, Harper winced at the misgendering, but said nothing. In his… Whatever you call this, being trans was not accepted, even if you were one of the most powerful gods.

"It's fine, just tell me what the kids did so I can fix it and leave," Harper muttered, his cloak beginning to float up as his magic stream got stronger. The attendant nodded, showing Harper a list of people he would have to visit to fix everything.

((Oof I’m still trying to figure out a good backstory for Elliot. I know they’re a shapeshifter but I don’t know how to make it fit.

I have an idea! Could I pm you with it?//

((Sure thing

((Cuz I’m literally out of ideas lol

((oof imma start the show eventually idk what to do

((When everyone dies lol

Oof.//

((But What was your idea lol. My PMs might not be working oof

I… I forgot.//

((Noice XD It’s okay hooman

((hahA I KNOW WHAT TO DO! max i have an idea so i don't have to write the show, maybe have elliot have a panic attack and then tyler sees you leave and runs out of the theatre?? i really don't know what to write xD))

Lights went dim inside the theatre. The loudspeaker boomed Ladies, gents, and everyone in between: welcome to La Cage Au Foles! The crowd started cheering. Tyler took a deep breath. She was about to go on stage.

((Oof guess my child will have massive panic now))

((If anyone has any ideas on a backstory for Elliot I’m still in desperate need of help lol))

Elliot smiled lightly, they liked this. But then they felt a chill go up their spine. They quickly whirled around. It could be nothing…or it could be everything. Then they found their gaze locked in someone else’s, a girl across the room, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, her hair was a shocking shade of white, most people would think it was dyed, Elliot knew better. The stranger maintained eye contact for a second before breaking it, walking towards the doors. Elliot pushed through the crowd, they had to find her.
