Caught_In_The_Act

A Madeline_Madelist Feature

Marilyn DuBough has always had a talent for theater. It comes natural to her, really; she loves it when people watch and she always has, so the stage fright most have to get over in order to perform well is nothing but dust and ashes to her.

As such, she has become a mainstay locally for every single production she's performed in. Her sheer talent would elicit nothing else! Behind closed doors, though, it's a different story all together...

She's a nerd. First and foremost. She's the kind of girl that, in a different time and different life, would probably be sporting glasses so thick they'd be able to hold up her own weight. Bookish and giddy, she loves to engage in her passions deeply and truly.~

This does mean, though, that she's a bit graceless in terms of social graces. Where others can navigate the realm of chit-chattering just fine, she finds herself a little bit stuck. Others expect her to know what they're thinking, know why they're thinking it...it's a lot.

But outside of that all, she's also one thing that most are not; a rutheless, gluttonous predator~ She's as casual as can be; if someone's in the front row of a show, sometimes she'll just swipe them up and eat them if she needs a bit more to her performance, if it fits her character...or really if she's just hungry. She doesn't care.~

This trait, oddly, has not scared away those attending her shows. Sometimes it's gotten even more of an audience...!

It got her a lover, too, one just as talented in performance as her...

So she stays.~ Devouring those on stage...

...and kissing up to her beau, dearly bethrothed.~
