Let’s go explorin’. || Troian & Ian.
“Lately I’ve been, I’ve been losin’ sleep, dreamin’ bout’ all the things that we could be.” Troian danced around to the OneRepublic song blaring on her speakers. For some reason, music always made her feel better— just as it always would. She knew she would get noise complaints later, but hell she didn’t care. This was her therapy after the incident that had happened with her co-star Keegan. What had happened, what he had said, still stuck with her and that made the pain 10x worse for her. She felt like she should hate him with everything she had in her body, but she knew she couldn’t because that’s just not who she was. Shaking it off she went in the bathroom to prepare or at least make herself look decent for her meet-up with her other castmate— Ian. Humming ‘Au Revoir’ she took a deep breath and looked at herself. Wearing her favorite old fedora, hair straightened, she made herself look like she hadn’t been crying for two days straight, although her eyes were still red. Giving a small smile, she danced back into her hotel room making her laugh at herself.
Troian was obvlivious to the world outside of her room, until she heard a knock at her door, pulling her back into reality. Turning to see who had disrupted her dance party of one, she looked to see Ian standing in the doorway, trying not to laugh. “Please, don’t let me stop you from enjoying my awesome moves.” she laughed as she gave a bow.
Ian laughed at his cast mate as she jokingly bowed as if he hadn’t just walked in on her dancing around her room like a fool. It made him smile though. He was just happy she was happy. Upon arriving the day before due to his manager, he had been glad to know that one of his good friends was there. He was also glad they were someone he was so close to. When he had arrived though he was greeted by some not-so-pleasant news. Apparently one of his other good friends had hurt Troian which made Ian mad because they were all so close and from the way Troi talked about him it sounded like he meant a lot to her. He’d have to have a chat with him about that later, but as he stared closely at Troian he noticed her puffy eyes and thought it was best not to bring that up at all during their “adventure”.
With a shake of his head Ian broke out of his thought induced trance and realized he hadn’t said anything to her within the minute they’d been standing there. With another laugh he replied to Troian, “Oh, I won’t.” he said teasingly. Smiling he knew this night could go well if he didn’t bring up topics involving a certain cast mate of theirs. “Ready to go?” he asked with a raised eyebrow as he still stood leaned against the doorframe, “Or would you rather continue on your dance party?”
I’m glad. And who says I’m not one? Rawr. Okay, we got this. Who’s this Mosbey character? I think I can take him.
An old prehistoric dinosaur, or a lion? I like the dino better though. Marion Mosbey, a little 5’0” man with a very short temper. He’s extremely dangerous, so I’d be careful whenever you ever go through the lobby of this place.
Ha ha ha, you’re so funny, TroiTroi. Eh, that’s nothing. He’s obviously never met me. I can take him.
I hope it was a good slap. Don’t put yourself down. Guys are.. Guys are stupid. Take it from a real live one. I bet I can cheer you up if you let me. It’s my first night here at this creepy place and you know how much I love exploring… What do you say?
It was one of those good bitch slaps, trust me. You’re making yourself sound a little bit like an animal there, bud. Yeah— sure, sounds cool. But be careful, the wild Mosbey’s out on the hunt.
I’m glad. And who says I’m not one? Rawr. Okay, we got this. Who’s this Mosbey character? I think I can take him.
No matter who he is I’m surprised you didn’t kick his ass Troi. I would do it in a heartbeat. You’ll find someone.. A million times better.
I slapped him, though. I couldn’t hurt him, Ian. I was too busy sitting on my bed, crying all damn day because I was weak. I let my guard down for one night, and I got this. Thanks, for the whole..pick-me-up, but I doubt it.

bleeding out;: hardingss: Ha, that’s a funny joke, Troi. Keegan? What? I don’t...
Ha, that’s a funny joke, Troi. Keegan? What? I don’t think.. I don’t want you to sulk. Maybe I should have a stern talking to him. What happened?
Who said I was joking? Just remember all the times I handed you in the gym, Ian. Yeah, Keegan. And sulking’s the only thing I…

This place is.. nice?
Yes I do. It’s an amazing show. Let me guess. Is it you?
Well thank you. That means a lot. Uh, what gave you that idea?
I may be little, but I can still kick your ass any day of the week, Harding. I doubt you want to beat the living daylights out of..ah— Keegan. I can’t see him so I should just stay and sulk in my own misery.
Ha, that’s a funny joke, Troi. Keegan? What? I don’t think.. I don’t want you to sulk. Maybe I should have a stern talking to him. What happened?
This place is.. nice?
I watch Pretty Little Liars all the time, so I know who you are. Oh, who is this friend of yours?
You do?! I.. uh mean, you do? Oh.. well, you know.. Just a friend.
Jeez, you know I’m not so little anymore, right Ian? I’d rather not send another guy to the emergency room, but thanks for the offer. I’d rather just..sulk.
You are always gonna be little to me though. You always enjoy that though. It’s your favorite part. Sulking is no fun. Come on!
