"Your the type that acts not to care, and may genuinely not care," Rachel started leaning back in her chair looking Cassie straight in the eyes, "You get into fights and trouble at every turn, using fear as your tactic to get people to keep away from you. But the moment those people aren't scared of you, you lose your power and you get scared. You realize you had to much hard power and not enough soft power, such as mwah. Despite your attempts you can't get that power back and you end up worse off than before. That's your type."
Lloyd watched the interaction, honestly hoping that the girl didn't know enough about him to 'type' him. He was pretty private and secretive, and he didn't have social media or anything. Any dirt Rachel could have on him would likely be false. (Kinda curious how she would type him tho)
(Shy guy who crumbles at the slightest hint of fame. Her way of payback would be to draw negative attention to him by spreading rumors. That's the gist of her typing.)
(P good lol I mean he's freaking out about probably having a lead role in a play and he sort of just wants to hide in the shadows because he has to hide a huge part of his identity)
"Oh, so close, so close." Cassie laughed. Actually laughed, a definitively not friendly and light hearted sound, that involved throwing her head back. "But just a tad bit off. I don' need fear t' get what I want, and power ain't what I'm seekin'." She tilted her head, her smile wickedly sharp. "I don' get scared, and definitely not o' gals like you."
"I never said you sought power," Rachel had an equally wicked grin on, "I'm simply telling you what to expect. Your here because you fucked something up no? I read people better than the person may know."
"Bup bup bup. I'm here because I deigned to be." Cassie said, shrugging a shoulder. "I coulda skipped just as easy. They'd like t' think they hold the cards, so I let 'em every once in a while. Makes it all the more fun when it comes crashin' down. Congrats though. Maybe you could be a carnie."
“Yeah now go,” Rachel pulled her phone back out, “I’m getting tired of looking at your ugly mug. You’re probably the most hideous person in the world. So scram!”
(Lloyd continues being nonconfrontational even though he's like hEy thAt's MeAn)
"Oh, thank the gods." Cassie's grin quickly turned apathetic as she stood, stretching her arms up over her head. Her shirt rose just enough to reveal what were obviously bandages for a split second, before they were gone. "This was getting boring quick. Fun chattin' with ya, Rach." And then she was off, to the very back row of seats to plop down and continue texting.
Taylor smirked. "Nice going." (Does she know about Rachel's power?)
Laura watched Cassie storm off and bit her lip.
(Probably not) Rachel shrugged, “She’ll pay soon enough.”
Lillian watched the whole ordeal and could see the ripples of slight gossip after Rachel used her power to declare Cassie ugly. Lillian didn’t think Cassie was ugly, but it was clear a few people did.
Laura wasn't one of them. "What was that? What did she just do?"
Taylor agreed. "Where's the cast list, dammit?"
“What Rachel always does,” Lillian sighed, “Turn lies to truth.”
Rachel rolled her eyes, “I’m sure it’s coming.”
Laura looked confused. "What do you mean?" I
Taylor sighed. "Yeah. It better be."
Lillian sighed and stood up, "Nevermind."
Rachel looked up at Lillian and Laura, "I'm sure it will. Wanna have some fine?"
Laura but her lip. You're so stupid.
Taylor followed Rachel's gaze and smirked. "Oh, yes."
Belle eventually wandered back out, holding the piece of paper that held all the answers. She taped it to the wall next to the stage and took a deep breath. Time to face the madness, love. "Cast list is up!" She called to the crowd before darting backstage so she wouldn't be trampled.
(I'm guessing Lloyd is gonna end up being Tony since all the other people who tried out are female lol)
Lloyd stood up once most of the crowd was gone and looked at the cast list, which just confirmed his fears. There was his name, beside Tony (Lead). Well, guess it's time to die.
Lillian quickly moved up to check the cast list. She was grinning ear to ear, she got Maria. Hell yeah!
Rachel walked up and scowled angrily as her name was under a minor character with Taylor's right next to her. They both had maybe one line or two.
(…I don't know all the characters of the play. Help.)
(Neither do I I've never seen it qwq)
Laura saw Lillian smilingand did the same. "Get you get the part you wanted?"
Taylor's eyes narrowed. "What?!"
(Lloyd: Hope I don't get a lead role sees that he got a lead role
Lloyd: wheeze)
Lillian nodded smiling, "Yeah. I did."
Rachel glared over at Lillian before looking back to Taylor, "We were set up, by the bitch with the lead."
Lillian stopped smiling and froze in her spot. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Taylor glared sharply at Lillian, then narrowed her eyes even more when she saw Laura next to her. "Oh course we were, if she's someone who hangs out with Trash."
Laura whimpered as Taylor used her favorite name for Laura loudly and in front of everyone.
Cassie, out of what might have been slight curiosity but obviously didn't look it, had wandered back up to the stage, hands in her pockets as she read the cast list from a safe distance. It would be good to know the roles the others were playing early on. "Such a creative nickname."
