“It’s a party celebrating an anniversary of sorts, so I would assume there would be lots of people here..though now I’m thinking that this museum might be a bit too big.” 

“Ooh, how exciting,” Alice bounced a little, “Is it yours? Or are you just hosting? Oh. And sometimes the restaurant I work at will rent out the main floor for events. It’s a pretty big space, but I’m also horrible at judging like, the size of places. That’s why there’s barely any floorspace left in my bedroom. I have to walk across my bed to get out the door.” She laughed a little, almost awkwardly, as she rambled. “But, it’s smaller than here. Plus, you know... we’ve got some pretty great food.”

“Well... I guess that depends on how many people will be dancing? And how they’ll be dancing, I suppose.”

“Yeah it’s a nice space, but do you think there’s enough room for people to dance?”

“Good thing we have a limited photography policy, then, in the case of that viral video,” Marya said with a light laugh. “I don’t think we’ve been the scene of many viral sensations as of late. Not since that rule got enforced when people threatened to touch the art.”

“Well, as long as you’re sure it will work out.” When asked if she worked there, Marya really wanted to answer that she didn’t, as if that would be the truth, but she kept it in and smiled. She smiled because she was genuinely grateful for being able to meet so many people. “Yea,” she pointed to her little name lanyard, “curator. Also do tours. But not today. I’m supposed to be doing rounds later today, surveying and making sure that everything is organized and tidy. Are you here for any exhibit in particular?”

“Yeah,” she nodded, agreeing. “Why is that the first thing everyone wants to do? Actually, I guess the oil paintings have a fun looking texture. Not that I’d touch the paintings. I’m just saying... They do.” She remembers touching the rough surface of the paintings that hung in her mother’s office when she was young, and then getting scolded and punished for doing something that she didn’t even know was wrong at the time. She didn’t touch paintings anymore.

“Oh, duh,” Alice felt kind of clueless for missing the name tag around the woman’s neck. “Curator sounds fun. And my friend is here to look at the photos as part of his photography project. I’m just here for moral support and he also promised to buy me lunch later if I came with him. But, don’t get me wrong, Ms. Ayres--” she noted from the lanyard-- “I love art. But my friend likes to find all the super depressing meanings in all the pictures. Even the ones that look happy. Also, there’s a cafe over in this part of town that has the best desserts and I’m hoping that’s where we go when he’s done here.”

“Well, we can say the people who wash the glass doors here have done a good job,” Marya offered weakly. She stood by in case the girl needed any help initially, but seeing as she didn’t seem to need it, Marya stepped back. “Where are you off to in such a hurry? Normally people don’t leave only an hour after the museum's been open.”

“Yeah,” she chuckled lightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “At least I wasn’t holding a coffee, or this could’ve been a nightmare. Or the recipe for the perfect viral video.” Alice looked at the woman, feeling a little embarrassed still. “Oh. I’m not really in a hurry. My friend decided to drive us here, but he wasn’t sure if he put enough money in the meter. I told him I’d check so he didn’t freak out, but I know it’s fine.” Alice explained. “I just wasn’t paying attention.”

“Do you work here?” she asked, curiosity taking hold.

‘ i don’t mean to be laughing, but are you okay? ’

“Ugh, I’m okay; just a klutz,” she said, heaving herself off the floor, brushing off nothing from her clothes. “It’s alright to be laughing,” Al laughed lightly, thinking the sight of her walking into the glass door, startling herself to the point where she fell back onto the ground, would be pretty amusing. “I’d probably have laughed too.”

“Well, they’re missin’ out, that’s for sure, random ramblings or not. A little small-talk never hurt nobody anyway.” Callie smiled. There was nothing worse than stilted conversation, so she was always more than happy to listen to others. At least it gave her reason to ask more questions. “Touche!” Callie laughed, nodding her head. “Pleasure to meet you, Al. I’m Callie. Calliope if you wanna be formal but only my Mom calls me that.”

“Exactly,” Alice grinned. Some people acted like saying hi, or giving someone on the street a smile would get them stabbed in the chest or something. She was always glad when she encountered people like Callie.

“It’s nice to meet you, Callie,” she said, tucking a loose strand of hair back behind her ear. “And I’m glad we got to bond over donuts.”
