something’s not right from within and it irks her not being able to put a label on it. usually, if it were something from outside, the barbie doctors and nurses would have fixed it – worst case scenario, she’d go to weird barbie, but only if necessary. and, despite the turmoil from within, she slowly raised her hand to wave at @nobelbarbie, the smile plastered across her features forced and visibly broken. anything could’ve been broken but not the smile! that was plainly outrageous. ❝ hi barbie. ❞ the low vocals in her tone have blown her cover away ; not that she tried to hide it. not that she knew how anyway. this was her first time experiencing such – what’s the word for it? weird? icky? maybe bleh? probably bleh. a bleh feeling. ❝ i, uhm, wanted to ask you something, it’s from your field and uhm, ❞ for someone who learned hundreds of lines by heart, struggling with words in this manner is sad to watch. ❝ can you explain me what time really is? ❞ there was some sort of cohesivity, but truth was, barbie has been plagued by mortal fears, seemingly forgetting that she’s a doll.
BOLD what your muse can do. italicize what they can do to some extent.

oh, to be a star on big screens … everything comes naturally after a while : the beaming smile, the perfectly straight posture, not blinking despite the blinding flashes of cameras. not to mention the perks that come with being a celebrity! ❝ ken, you won’t believe this! ❞ her smile was radiating the entire room – perhaps, that’s why she was cast in so many productions – as she approached @earringmagick. ❝ can you guess what i’ve got? ❞ a plastic surgery, like the media kept pushing her? nope. a secret piercing? no, that’s not it either. from the wa she was smiling to the way she was swaying left and right, with both arms behind her back, it seemed like there was something else. still, mystery’s an asset she’ve learnt & mastered while working in hollywood. barbie couldn’t just give everything on a silver platter, it’d ruin the effect altogether. ❝ come on, guess it! ❞
BECKETT ' TEDDY ' PIKE [ PLAYED BY @midfie1der ] : i don't know how else to ask you.
what a bliss, to be beside someone who sees beyond the external appearance. he sees right through her. or perhaps, she has lowered her guard on purpose. letting someone in was always the hardest part. but barbie learned that she could trust some individuals. it’s true what they say — trust is either earned or given freely. only that she did both, simultaneously. ceruleans stare at her own reflection in the mirror as she made the last touch ups. perfection was achieved through hard labor, that much she knew. seemingly in a trance, trying to pick out any flaw that wasn’t apparent in the first place. if one’s broken on the inside, the least they can do is look perfect on the outside. it was his voice that brought her back to reality, shattering the illusion she’s drawn herself. cue a twirl, breaking all contact with that damned mirror, now gazing at teddy. with swift motions towards him, she found herself standing right in front of teddy. head slanted to the side as she sways in her place, all attention focused on him. ❝ ask me … what exactly? ❞ honey dripped tone as she queried, admittedly bewildered by what he meant. a soft chuckle passed pink lips as she sketched a smile. barbie was on edge, curiosity taking toll over her frame. with each second growing more and more impatient. ❝ c’mon it’s not nice to keep a gal waiting! ❞ she uttered, in a feeble attempt at calming her own nerves. something about the unknown terrified the living hell out of her, though she’d never admit it out loud.

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜
" as we always do, " a bright smile upon pink glossed lips as she's laying one arm around midge's shoulders, pulling her closer, " when haven't we though? i swear i can't think of even one single moment in time when we didn't accomplish whatever we set our minds to. " and it was all because of midge's presence in her life ; note to the reader, this barbie wouldn't have survived more than a week without her best friend. barbie needed midge in her life more than she needed ken – as atrocious as it sounds, it was true. there were many types of love out there and if barbie had to pick one, she'd always choose the platonic one with midge over the romantic one with ken. doll lovers come and go, but doll friendships last forever.
" have i told you i love you today? because i do, i love you midge! "
You think I am stopping you because I don’t think your capable? You being capable is the problem.”
“You mean more to me than my next breath. there was no ask.”
“Choosing love and war are both honorable choices.”
You are injured. I will murder you if you get up and than bring you back to life to murder you again. I love you.”
“I could fight ghosts themselves and not flinch if only to see you whole.”
“Love doesn’t need reason.”
“Love doesn’t see reason.”
“I’d yell now that we are alive though you clearly don’t listen to me.”
“Are you going to be the one to stop me? because I know what I am going to do, I just need to know who is going to try and stop me.”
“This world needs you far more than me.”
“Regardless of title or standing, I will fight and die for you or at your side.”
Look just because I am capable of protecting you, doesn’t mean you have to need it so much?”
“Wasn’t sure if I should yell at you or kiss you for getting yourself into this?’
“Love means we are a team. if we are going into danger, it is together since I doubt you like the macho role.”
“Of course, walk towards the danger because you have a human shield.”
“I’m not trying to control you. I am trying to keep you safe.”
“No, don’t do that it’s not safe.”
“You’re scared of that, aren’t you?”
“Don’t touch her/him!”
“It’s cute that you tried to protect me and all, but you’re like a foot shorter than me, you know?”
“I will always step in between you and something like that.”
“Why? Because I don’t want you to get hurt, that’s why!”
“Do you think just because my feet don’t touch the bottom of the pool that I need a floatie?”
“The stepping stool is unecessary.”
“I’m not apologizing for what I said to that asshole/jerk… He/she was saying terrible things about you.”
“If you say another word about her/him, you’ll regret it.”
“I don’t want to put you in that type of environment.”
“Make sure to tell me if you get worried, or nervous, or claustrophobic, or-”
“You could have been hurt.”
“I indirected him/her on Twitter for your honor.”
“I think you should leave this type of thing to me.” “I’m gonna protect you.”
“You can hold onto me if you’re scared, you know?”
“I’m not leaving you alone. Not now, not ever.”
“Let’s all watch a different movie. This one freaks her/him out.”
“I get where you’re coming from dude, but honestly shut the hell up and don’t talk about her/him that way.”
“She/He isn’t an object.”
“She/he told me what you did, and all I’m gonna do is tell you to stay away.”
“You don’t know anything about her/him!”
“What? You think that was funny? You just insulter her/him, and expect me to laugh?”
“I’m not gonna let you put up with that.”
“Really, if you told me to I’d go punch them for you.”
“Wait, let me walk you home.”
“I’ll drive you, please– please don’t go like this.”
“It’s dangerous.
“I’m worried about you.”
“I meant it when I said I would protect you.”
“I’m not stepping aside until you back up.”
“It’s too cold for you to come out here without a jacket on.”
“I’ll go see what the noise was.”
“Stay on the phone with me.”
“Promise me you’ll be safe.”
“I don’t feel comfortable with you going there on your own.”
“He/She did what to you?”
“I won’t let you go through something like that again.”
“I’m not perfect, but I’m trying my hardest to do everything to keep you safe.” “Stay behind me.”
“I promised your mom to make sure you didn’t do anything stupid tonight.”
“I love you. Of course I’m gonna defend you like that.”
“No, he/she isn’t good enough to take you out. Trust me, I know.”
“Are you planning to stay glued to my side this whole evening?”
“I’ll be okay, because I know you’re back here ready to step in if I need you.”
“Thank you for always sticking with me.”
“I’m really worried about her/him, but I don’t think he/she wants me to call.”
“I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.”
“Like, I don’t expect to ever have to take a bullet for you, but I would.”
ready , set , action from here
" alright, " she doesn't think twice before entering his pink jeep ; it takes her a moment though to realize something was off. and her demeanor switches in an instant. she shifts ever so slightly in her seat, to face @setkenoff – she doesn't understand what's happening, but she wants to help him. or hear him out, whatever it is that he desires. " it's okay, ken. you'll be okay. what are you feeling? "
barbie did not have much going on for the holidays — if you disconsider the giant blowout party with all her friends, acquaintances and other people she's worked with over the years on movie sets and the dj she hired to mix christmas tunes. it was just another typical night preceding a holiday from her perspective. eartha kitt's santa baby was resonating throughout her residence as she gracefully transversed across the tiny cliques, trying to make brief conversations with each of them, until her cerulean optics laid upon sheldon. everlasting beam that graced her features spread even wider whilst high heels clicked underneath the porcelain floor as she made her way towards @sheldoney. ❛❛ there you are! what do you think of this party? ❜❜ she queried over the loud music, leaning ever so slightly towards him. ❛❛ oh. oh! ❜❜ cue a sudden exclaim as her gaze drifted upward towards one of the many mistletoes she put around the house to surprise the guests. as it turns out, it also came as a surprise for barbie herself. index finger points skyward, ❛❛ d'ya know what they say about standing under the mistletoe, right? may i? ❜❜ a light nod of the head follows, as she stares at him, waiting for an answer. barbie, mindful of mutual respect, refrained from seizing the moment outright, opting instead to observe tradition with a sense of decorum.
