It was the night before the audition. Claire had been trying to get Riley to relax all week. In particular, tried to get them to sleep at night to be ready for the early audition. It wasn't working. The moth couldn't sleep. It felt wrong during the nighttime. They had tossed and turned before finally pulled out their phone. Anything for some distraction. Riley flicked to the favorite contacts and opened up one labeled 🔥🔒. Riley had been texting Firebringer off and on since that night at The Foundation. Trading tick-tocks, shooting the shit, complaining. It was strictly casual, totally casual. Hey. Are you awake?It was just past 2 am. The moth wasn't sure if the bartender was working tonight, out with friends, or even just trying to sleep. |

Fire had just gotten home after her shift at the bar. Her hair was covered in glitter, her clothes were covered in glitter, everything... she felt like a glitter bomb. At least she looked cute. She's about to get ready for a major shower when she gets the text from Riley. How is it possible an unopened text from them both makes her smile and feel weird little heart palpitations all at once? It was 2am though. And anyone who texts "are you awake?" has something they need to talk about.
Yeah, I'm up. Work was explosively glitter-ific.
You okay?

Riley had found themselves sitting up side down on the couch, their head barley off the floor when Firebringers first messages arrived.
Show or party for the glitter?

The show, specifically. But the bar is basically a giant party anyway.
Fire sends a cute selfie. Her hair is up in an loose bun and is full of sparkling blue and purple glitter. On her face, the glitter seems to fall in a pretty stream over her cheekbones to her neck. Her eyeshadow is themed with blues and purples, like the glitter, and her lips are painted a matte red, matching the red of her hair. What Riley can see of her outfit seems to be some kind of off the shoulder black top.
It's going to take me forever to get this glitter off.

I stopped trying to get rid of it. shit gets everywhere.
Riley paused to look at the photo sent. It was cute, and boy did they wish they were out partying right now.
Looking good btw.
They raised their phone back and took a selfie sending in return. The picture that arrived was almost just a black frame. Riley always found it funny their light didnt show up.
No party here, its quite at the apartment.

I'm never getting the deposit back for this place.
She laughs at the picture Riley sends. She can just barely catch the outline, though she tries to imagine what they look like more clearly.
So bright and beautiful, the camera can't even capture it. ;D
The flirty person inside of her immediately thinks: Well, we could always remedy that. It isn't that late.
And if she were a super confident person, that is absolutely what she'd send.
However, Fire is not a confident nugget.
One person parties aren't too bad. They can lead to fun nights of YouTube holes and cat videos and then some existential dread before passing out. We can twin.

The moth did that stupid smirk you get when staring at your phone. Firebringer was such a flirt. Not that Riley minded.
Well This me party should of been closed down hours ago.
Tots. But this dummy has enough dread for the 2 of us tonight.
Audition is tomorrow.

Ah, that's why they're all nervous. I don't blame them.You are going to kill it. Just let them see you and how incredible you are. You can light up a whole room when you walk in. So show them that.  You know... Uh, metaphorically.
I know that doesn't help with the jitters though. What do you need?

Thanks. Sleep at night is hard.
Claire says it's normal. I call sus.
The question lingered of how Fire could help. The Bright one could think of a few, come have a drink, chat, see my apartment , kisss. Nope. Just text. You have work in the morning. And don't forget Rowan.
What do ya'll Summers do? Like before you do your thing?

Sus. But she's also right. Doesn't make it feel any better though.
Fire thinks for a good moment. What does she do to get herself ready for battle?
I remember why I am doing it. Why I have to push. Why I can't give up, even when I stumble. Let your 'why' push you and commit to it fully. I know it isn't as easy as it sounds.

The reason, why. That made sense, it wasn't too far from the pursuit of desire. Climb always climb. That tracks.
A gif followed. Gotta win no matter what. No real option otherwise for you all  That thought twisted the moth's gut a bit. They avoided violence best they could, but summer courtiers...they threw themselves in front of death or worse. They didn't want to imagine Fire in that situation, yet it undeniably was inspiring |

Fire had to think about that one. Win no matter what? I mean, maybe if you're stupid you'll keep going through a pointless battle when you could retreat and regroup. You can't fight the Others if you're dead. Still, sacrifices have to be made...I mean. Maybe for the meatheads. Winning is also knowing when to lose the smaller battles for the greater good. Sometimes setbacks are good things.
...but don't tell them I said that, or I'll be accused of being a Winter. There is another little pause before she writes again. Also, I think I heard somewhere that Anne Hathaway was like the 9th choice for the Devil Wears Prada. Just saying.
Secondary also, we're throwing a post audition party, right? |

Ok fair.
To the spring, surviving was winning in their book. But they werent certain about set backs.
LOL 9th? wtf.
Maybe. Don't want to be all hat and no cattle.
After sending it they froze, that sounded like their parents. OH GOD.
BUT
The next text quickly jumped in as if trying to erase the one before.
If there is Archie is handling .
Riley hadnt taken the time to think of a party. That sounded great, something to let all of this go. It would be nice to see Fire- Oh right.
If There is be sure to bring Rowan. Dude needs to socialize

Gotcha. I think regardless of what happens, you need a party to celebrate your putting yourself out there.
She laughs at the mention of Rowan. Dragging him to Valentines Day was like pulling teeth. And the whining. Well... she enjoyed it for hilarity, but that's another story.
God. Yeah. He really does. Though, he might be catching on to me for dragging him to pretty much everything.
Clearly, it is an evil plot to socialize him.

Ya Knw me I like to party.
She takes him every where huh?
The moth sat up, to properly sit on the couch glancing out the shades of their apartment to the lights of the city. Good, that's good. Everyone deserve to have their desires grow.
Bring him any way. Good for him.
Hey I really should go to bed or try again. Archie will kill me if I don't.
