sitting by the fountain (Zephyrine)

[Rosè]

Rosè sat by the fountain. Oblivious to the surrounding noise and people. -It was Saturday afternoon and the people of Paris where out in the city. Rosè was bored, she had exhausted all of the art museums she was allowed in. Lots of them wouldn't let a girl unaccompanied into their galleries. Shops did not appeal to her, she thought them boring and overall a waste of time.

[Zephyrine Mariani]

Zephy still had not heard from the director. The best way to take her mind off that, she decided, was to take a walk in the squre. The big fountain always cheered her up, with people throwing coins in and such.

Zephy sat down by the fountain and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she realized that she was sitting next to a young lady. "Sorry mademoiselle, am I disturbing you?" she asked politely.

[Rosè]

Rosè heard somewon addressing her and saw that the young woman sitting next to her was speaking.
''Not at all.''
She said. Her french was good but she couldn't disguise her slight Italian accent.
''Rosa Martelli.''

[Zephyrine Mariani]

"Martelli?" asked Zephy. "I'm Italian as well! Well, part Italian. My name's Zephyrine Mariani, but everybody calls me Zephy."

She crossed her legs and turned to face Rose. "I've lived in Paris my whole life. Have you?"

(OOC: How do you do the little sign above the e?)

[Rosè]

''No, I came from Italy a couple of months ago- the Parisian art is beautiful and I plan to paint here for a time- I am an artist.''
Rosè replied.
''I love the city- it is beautiful.''
(OOC: I copy and pasted it from a french site.)

[Zephyrine Mariani]

(OOC: Ah! Do you mind if I just type Rose?)

"An artist!" cried Zephyrine, throwing her arms out dramatically. She grinned. "Sorry, I can't help myself. I'm an actress - and heaven knows all thespians overexaggerate."

She sighed and fidgeted. "The original reason I came down here was actually due to an audition I did a few days ago. I haven't been told whether I got the role or not."

[Rosè]

(OOC:no, i don't mind )
Rose laughed,
''What did you audition for?''
She asked eagerly. When she was younger she had loved the theater.

[Zephyrine Mariani]

"I auditioned for the new play Adele," Zephyrine explained. "You might have heard about it premiering at the Rogue Theatre?"

"Anyway, I auditioned for the title role."

[Rosè]

''A vague rumour yes, there was a poster in one of the galleries. ''
Rose looked at Zephy more closely, this indeed was an actress.
''ah well, I hope you get it. I'm starting an exhibition in a minor gallery, at the moment I'm painting ballet dancers which is rather boring, but I hope to begin doing more abstract stuff too.''

[Zephyrine Mariani]

"An exhibition?" Zephy was instantly interested. "What gallery? I positively MUST come see it," she added with a smile.

[Rosè]

Rose was surprised by the sudden interest but she didn't hesitate to tell Zephy more about the exhibition. She needed to raise the interest or she would make no money. It was expencive living in paris.
''I can't recall the name but it's here.''
She said taking out a small map and pointing to the square in which the gallery could be found.
((sorry I couldn't think of a french name))
