Ooh, so maybe greatest fears are up next?
I know you two wanted to do the fashion show, right? Though I think Grace’s account wasn’t working.

I haven’t done this sort of thing myself, but I know @calidris has done some stuff with a twenties style setting. Calidris, what sort of resources have you used?We are called to be lights in the cosmos.
May your inkwells never run dry!My character has been raring to go for this XD
Mara
Where are all these new people coming from? This place is so confusing. I’m honestly glad Frey got pulled away because he made that even worse.
Then one of the new ones starts shouting about revolution, and I can’t help but giggle at her. Apparently the Nightingales aren’t the only crazies in the universe.
”This ruler is forcing innocent people to participate in a fashion show!” she shouts.
I laugh. “What if we want to? I sure do!” Maybe a little to aggravate her, I flip the pink ends of my braids over my shoulder. I’m tired of plain black clothes.
Out of nowhere, the boy I’d been concerned about earlier is draped in outrageously flowery silks and dances down the catwalk.
Me next? Please…And can I choose? Or help others? That would be so fun! But the boring, rough black cloth begins to flow smoothly under my fingers, and I look down to find myself in an ombré dress: white at the top and turning into raspberry on its way to the hem. Because it matches my hair, I smile. This is like a fairytale.
”Next we have Mara Gobey-Hanad modeling Summer Cream,” booms whoever is talking over the loudspeakers.
I don’t wait for whatever force seemed to move the boy, hurrying over to the catwalk instead, which is harder than I expected because my boots have turned into high heels, and I haven’t worn those in years. With a smile on my face, I stride down the catwalk in the way I’d seen people do on TV years ago, and at the end of the platform I twirl, appreciating how the rich pink fabric flows around me. As I turn and walk the other way, I wish Victor could be here with me. He, at least, appreciates a little fashion.
I make way for the next person, hoping I can keep this dress on. On an impulse I march over to the rebellious woman and say, “See? That was fun! Why don’t you give it a try? You’re pretty.”

May your inkwells never run dry!I’m dealing with similar events in one of my own stories, so I’ll tell you what I’ve learned. Short term, any casual reminders of that friend are going to hurt. Depending on your character, she could either be open about this and angry, closed and bitter, or sad that someone would do that, or perhaps all three. Long term, it seems to me that your MC’s history of trust betrayed could result in her growing mistrustful and misanthropic. Depending on where you want your story to go, this betrayal could also force her to trust Someone/thing truly trustworthy (as was the case with my MC).
Good luck with your story!

May your inkwells never run dry!What’s your WIP about?
It’s a dystopian about a ballerina learning that letting go of control and trusting God leads to joy. Her activities include attempting to stop a revolution while hiding both Church and science secrets from the government to keep her friends safe.
Your WIPs sound intriguing, especially the sci-fi one! I’d love to hear more about it if you want to share 😄

Your WIP sounds so cool! Are you thinking of ever publishing it?
I don’t know if you’ve explored the forum much, but the Character Castles in the Fantasy forum are a great place to get to know other fantasy writers and their WIPs.
