I.) Lately I've been stuck imagining what I wanna do and what I really think - Recollé High Library + Student Council room

[Despite the fact that Spring Break is right around the corner, that's not stopping Rise from working herself into overdrive. Fellow high school students can easily find her in the library hidden behind a stack of books with papers, her laptop, and an assortment of writing utensils spread out at a desk. There's an extra chair if you feel like being a study buddy but otherwise she's going to keep to herself until someone interrupts.

Then again, there are also times that Rise can be found in the library during lunch or after school wandering through the aisles with stacks of books in her arms. She appears to be re-shelving things as she goes, but if she notices someone looking for a specific book she'll take a moment to collect herself before approaching.]

Can I help you find something?

[After school a few days a week Rise can be found in the Student Council room cleaning up and organizing notes and student agendas, reviewing requests and creating a large calendar of events for April. If anyone sticks their head inside the room they will find her at a table with her sleeves rolled up and a pencil in hand as she quickly jots down notes. However, whoever you are, you'll soon be spotted and she'll light up.]

Hey, can you do me a favor and hand me that roll of tape? [She's definitely gesturing to one of the rolls of tape across the room. Please help her.]

II.) It's Britney Rise, bitch. I see you, and I just wanna dance with you - Dancinerate

[With ballet being one of her biggest passions, Rise can be found at Dancinerate not only for her own lessons but just for hanging out with fellow dancers, observing other classes, or even just helping around the studio. Maybe you're in a different class, or maybe you're borrowing the practice room next to hers.

Either way, she's usually found dressed down in her dance clothes and her hair wound tightly in a bun as she practices. She's far more at ease here than anywhere else and it's why she'll chat with anyone who's around.]

…can I ask you a really weird question?

[Alternatively, if she spots someone finishing practice she's right there handing over a fresh water bottle.]

Nice form. [And that's about all she says on that.]

III.) All my people in the crowd, grab a partner take it down - Animal Shelter/dog-walking, Wednesdays only

[On top of everything else, Rise can be found working at the animal shelter on Wednesday afternoons. Come stop in and say hi to the shelter's crew of furry friends looking for forever homes, she'll be more than happy to perk up from a back room and come out to greet you with a kitten in her arms.]

Hi! [Again, weirdly at ease and probably more cheerful than she appears to be at school.] Are you looking to adopt today?

[When she's not working in the actual shelter, Rise hits the street with a pack of dogs in tow. The three dogs (a dalmatian, a german shepherd, and a labrador) are all roughly the same size at least but they're of varying strengths. It's hard to say who's walking who here as the dogs drag her down the sidewalk.

Without warning though, the labrador barks and spots something ahead, tugging hard and pulling right out of Rise's grip.]

H-hey! Get back here! [The dog breaks free and runs as Rise tries to get the other dogs to cooperate to chase down their wayward companion. Help a girl out?]

IV.) Cotton candy kiss, can't wait for my sugar rush - Novel Idea

[Sometimes a girl deserves to pamper herself. Some girls Rise's age do that by binging on clothes or make-up, but no. Instead, she's at Novel Idea in their manga/comics section. Backpack at her feet and back against the shelf, Rise finds herself flipping through the first issue of some shoujo manga. She appears to be intently reading and 100% unaware of her surroundings.

She also appears to be 100% in the way and might be blocking your path? Sorry about that. Maybe asking her to move would help?]

V.) Wildcard

[If you'd like to do something else, hit me up via PM, my plotting comment, or on plurk at alternatively! Alternatively if you want me to write you a special prompt let's chat and I can do that!]

[ /petitions dw to extend the character limit ]

Wait, what's Katy Perry's real name?

[pseudonyms]

Katheryn Hudson. Sometimes you just get really bored with your own name so you change it to be more interesting. A lot of stars have done it.

[compendiem]

[ Huh. It's not out of boredom, but there are times where he wishes he could change his name so easily, especially after having come to this city. but the damage is already done, and people know him and who he's related to, so he just shakes his head. ]

It feels more like a person's interesting, then the name gets famous after, not the other way around.

[pseudonyms]

Going back to the Kay Perry example, she had an album that was released under her real name and nobody paid attention. But then she changed her name and bam! She became famous with her music. But maybe in other cases that's true.

[compendiem]

[ Maybe her singing got better in however much time passed in between the two albums. It's a more logical explanation than having to admit there's that much weight attached to a name and identity, when people should be recognized for what they do and not who they are. ]

I guess so. Anyways... you asked what other things people call me. It's stuff like Leader, or Operator, or John. I'm kind of fond of the last one.

[pseudonyms]

[She would continue arguing, but there's something about what he says that catches her attention again.]

John? [Hm.] Because it's common and easy to blend in with?

[compendiem]

Is that the sort of name it is? I guess... If life had a localization, don't I look like a John?

[ He's joking. But Rise does touch upon something of the truth. ]

[pseudonyms]

Hm...maybe! I don't know very many Johns to say for sure, but you're definitely not, like, a Joe or something. If you want to be a John, then be a John.
