Celeste: Shit, this piece is bomb, right? Gotta keep that creep off it though.
Gotcha, I gotcha. I put my arm around her. Chill out, you're safe here. No ones gonna bother ya.
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, yeah, I'm safe. I'm not the one whose name is literally "Snowflake."
But it's true. This place is a fortress. Only people who truly understand art come here.
crosses her arms and smirks Oh please, I'm used to dealing with self-important art snobs. Trust me, this place is just another gallery.
I think you underestimate the power of human imagination. This place..is different. Just look at how people are reacting.
rolls her eyes again Different how? They're staring at the art, not each other. It's just another art show.
Look closer. They're not staring at the art..they're staring at YOU.
smirks and looks around Ha! They're probably wondering why I have such perfectly manicured nails. Like, who has time for that?
They don't care about your nails. They care about you. And they want to know your secret.
laughs sarcastically Secret? Please, I don't have any secrets. I'm just a regular girl trying to make it in the art world.
Do you really think you can hide your talent? Your passion?
rolls her eyes once more Passion? Please, I'm just doing what I love. Talent? Sure, if you say so.
You're downplaying it too much. Your work speaks volumes about who you are. Let people see that.
raises an eyebrow See what? See that I'm just another struggling artist trying to make ends meet?
No..let them see that fire in your eyes. That passion you speak so downly of.
smirks and straightens up Fine, if you're so hellbent on showing the world my hidden talents, then let's do it.
Thank you. I hand her a microphone. Go on stage and share your gift.
Celeste takes the microphone and walks onto the stage, her confidence growing as she prepares to showcase her talent.
I watch proudly as Celeste takes the stage.
takes a deep breath, centering herself Alright, folks, gather 'round. Get ready to be blown away by some real art.
