chin  rested  on  her  hand  as  she  watched  over  the  bar  of  hunters  before  hues  landing  on  the  other  nearby,  "any  tips  on  how  to  even  stay  awake?"

[inspotlight]

she    wasn't    sure    there    was    anything    to    elaborate    on.    she'd    never    dissected    her    feelings    on    the    matter.    ❝    um...    i    don't    know?    ❞    she    sighs,    folding    her    arms    on    the    bar    and    watching    her    clean    a    glass.    ❝    i    got    into    this    really    prestigious    performing    arts    school.,    and    i    couldn't    hack    it.    ❞    she    says,    shrugging    her    shoulders    as    if    it    weren't    a    big    deal.    ❝    but    here    i    am.    not    a    graduate    of    the    youth    actor's    conservatory.    so    i    wonder    sometimes    if    that    was    an    indication    of    the    way    my    career    is    going    to    go.    i    miss    my    mama    and    my    mommy    too    much    and    i    quit.    i    miss    my    boyfriend    too    much    and    i    quit.    i    get    stage    fright    and    i    quit.    ❞    she    shakes    her    head    again    and    picks    up    her    drink,    taking    a    sip.    ❝    i    guess    it's    good    that    you    don't    mind.    you    have    an    inviting    face.    you    look    trustworthy.    i    mean,    you    look    like    you    could    kick    my    ass,    too,    but    you    look    like    a    safe    person...    i    don't    know,    maybe    that's    dumb    and    doesn't    make    any    sense...    i'm    just    spilling    my    guts    and    i'm    not    even    talking    in    a    british    accent...    i'm     not,     am    i?    ❞

@inspotlight. juliana doesn't believe in sugarcoating things. it never gets anybody anywhere. she's been blunt and living her best life for as long as she could remember ... and it worked. hell, it even got her pretty good tips. some people just loved that reality check. ❝ elaborate? ❞ juliana raised an eyebrow as she polished one of the glasses and put it with the rest of them. ❝ because feeling like a fraud can mean a lot of things. professionally, personally, whatever. ❞ she shrugged her shoulders as the girl asked about her listening to other people's problems. ❝ i don't mind it. but yeah, most people have a lot to share. ❞

"if  you  keep  hovering  me,  i  will  personally  feed  you  to  the  crocodiles  just  outside."

❝    oh...    ❞    she    says    softly,    teeth    sinking    into    her    lower    lip.    she    hadn't    been    expecting    such    a    blunt    answer,    but    she    appreciated    the    honesty.    ❝    it's    nothing,    really.    i    mean,    something    obviously,    but...    i    just    feel    like    such    a    fraud    out    here.    it's    stupid.    ❞    she    shrugs,    toying    with    the    napkin    sitting    in    front    of    her    on    the    bar.    ❝    you    must    listen    to    so    many    people    just    drone    on    and    on    to    you    about    all    their    problems,    huh?    ❞

@inspotlight. ❝ yes. ❞ juliana said with a shrug of her shoulders, pouring another drink that someone had ordered and passing it off to them before redirecting her attention to the girl in front of him, ❝ well, you can tell it to me, or you can tell it to that guy. ❞ she pointed to the guy on the barstool a few down from her, ❝ and i promise you, i'm going to be a better listener. one more drink in him and he's going to be on the floor. ❞

❝    do    i    look    that    awful?    ❞    nini    asks,    huffing    as    she    picks    up    the    vodka    cranberry.    ❝    it's    been    a    rough    week.    i'm    sure    you    don't    wanna    hear    it,    though.    must    get    hard    being    drunk    people's    unpaid    therapist    all    the    time.    ❞

❝ you look like you're going through it. ❞ juliana slid a drink across the bar to the brunette, ❝ on the house. ❞
