EPISODE 3: THE MANHATTAN CANDIDATES
the episode begins the day after brooks’ party, and everyone is dealing with the aftermath. skylar was planning on curing her hangover with brunch, but instead is facing a very annoyed phillip, who is upset that she didn’t tell him about the party and that she showed up at all.
phillip: “seriously sky, how the hell could you do this to me?”
skylar: “honestly, phillip, i had to do something! it’s like everything else on campus can get your attention without even trying and suddenly i’m the last thing on your mind.”
phillip: “because you’re acting weird! you have been since we got here. i can’t believe you’re acting like this is my fault when half the time you act like you don’t even wanna be around me.”
james watches their fight, thinking it might be time to make a move, but harper disagrees.
harper: “don’t even think about it, dude.”
james: “what do you— i wasn’t going to—”
harper: “she’s a cheerleader, with a boyfriend who could literally snap you in half with no effort. i would really like to enjoy my french toast without seeing you die this morning, so sit down.”
james: “fine, mom.”
as the week begins, everyone’s talking about the student government election that approaches at the end of the week. there’s one spot left, and both zoey and valentina are campaigning heavily to be the new representative.
zoey: “thought you’d be too busy with your ‘lecture buddy’ to run for something like this.”
valentina: “he’s actually been… kind of busy this week. anyway, i wouldn’t miss a chance to beat you out for something here.”
campaigning outside the library, valentina approaches the band, who have planned a study sesh.
valentina: “hi, i’m valentina romero, and i’m running to be your freshman class—”
cassie: “yeah, i’m gonna stop you right there, i’ve heard the spiel before. i don’t vote. especially not for something as stupid as this.” [she leaves.]
zoey: “nice job, val. you’ve got this in the bag for sure.”
valentina’s frustrated, but she receives help from an unlikely ally in the form of xavier hastings.
xavier: “listen, i’m on student government and i might be able to help you out. i can talk to some members and stuff.”
valentina: “that would actually be… really cool. thanks.”
xavier: “yeah, yeah, don’t tell anyone i did something nice. i have a reputation to uphold.”
the band heads into the library together, but cassie and lara start bickering almost immediately. fletcher, tired of listening, gets up and moves his stuff to a table farther away, which is conveniently occupied by matti.
fletcher: “um, i’m sorry to bother you but is this seat taken, or can i sit here?”
matti: “no — i mean yes — wait.” [he pauses.] “no, the seat’s not taken. and yes, you can definitely sit there.”
fletcher: “oh! uh, cool. thanks matti.”
matti: “you-you know my name?”
at the end of the episode, the student government results are announced! xavier breaks the news to the girls.
xavier: “so it was such a close vote that in the end, we decided you’d actually be working together and splitting the duties of the job. congrats.”
zoey: “you’ve got to be fucking kidding.”
the final scene of the episode, and the cliffhanger for next week, is lara sneaking out of brooks’ room: evidently she is the mystery that has been taking up so much of his time.
lara: “listen, this was a one time thing, okay?”
brooks: “you said that last time, sweetheart. i’ll see you tonight.”

EPISODE 2: LET’S GET SYLLY
it’s sylly week for the freshmen of the village! brooks is trying to throw a party in their dorm to mark the occasion, but they’re met with serious resistance from phillip. they have a semi-public fight in the dining hall while eating breakfast next to james.
phillip: “the answer’s no, okay? you know i have practice the next morning. not that you would understand having to work hard for anything.” [leaves the table]
brooks: “jesus, it’s only been a week and i’m already tired of that prick.”
james: “join the goddamn club.”
across campus at bean there done that, cassie is enjoying their half-caf latte. suddenly, she receives a call from lara, who’s canceling band practice yet again.
lara: “i have other things to do. it’s not my fault, okay? god, just chill out!”
cassie: “you know what, forget it. maybe we’ll still have practice with a new lead singer!” [hangs up abruptly]
xavier is sitting in the same cafe, and decides to intervene.
xavier: “look, i couldn’t help overhearing but maybe if you paid even a little bit of attention to lara instead of fighting with her you’d know why she’s upset.”
cassie: “are you fucking joking? all we do is pay attention to her, all the time. who do you think you are, anyway?”
behind the counter, matti and harper discuss brooks’ party, which has already become a hot topic of conversation.
matti: “you’ll come, right? i really don’t wanna show up alone.”
harper: “it’s not really my scene. plus, i wasn’t exactly invited.”
matti: “if you hadn’t noticed, i just told you about the party, and invited you to it. pick you up at 9:30?”
harper: “i guess i probably should keep an eye on james… what the hell, why not?”
matti: “then it’s a date! listen, i gotta go to class, but i’ll see you later, okay?”
zoey and valentina run into each other on the way into the lab hall and their not-so-friendly competition flares up over academic schedules.
zoey: “why are you taking intro econ? you had a summer internship at goldman sachs last year.”
valentina: “well, i talked to brooks and he said he’s taking the intro, and that i should switch so we could be lecture buddies. but have fun in… molecular and cell biology, i guess!”
zoey enters her lab, where her professor informs the class that they’ll be partnered up for the rest of the semester. she turns to phillip sitting next to her, but is too late.
sorority girl: “phillip, d’you wanna switch to be my partner?”
after a quick switcheroo, phillip is surrounded by the girls of delta kappa delta and zoey is left with matti, the only other person without a partner.
zoey: “look, you’ll get a passing grade so just stay out of my way, okay?”
matti: “uh, yeah, no problem, since you terrify me already.”
by 10:30, everyone is in attendance at brooks’ party. cassie and zoey are in the midst of a spirited debate on the couch. matti is playing beer pong with xavier and brooks, and lara, of course, has migrated to an elevated surface and is dancing. harper has spent the evening in the corner, where she returns after her journey to the bar with two drinks.
harper: “figured i’d get you one too, since i have a feeling you’re also pining for someone here.”
fletcher: [laughs nervously] “thanks. feeling very gatsby standing here waiting for them to come talk to me, you know?”
harper: “i love the great gatsby. thank god i’ve finally met someone here who doesn’t wanna talk about their keg stand record.”
skylar is approached by james at the makeshift bar. they strike up a conversation, lightly flirting with each other, but the mood changes when james leans in for a kiss that is not reciprocated.
skylar: “whoa, uh—“
james: “i’m sorry if that was too fast, i just—“
skylar: “you have to stop, alright? you were a mistake, alright? i’m with phillip. i love phillip.”
james: “wow, do you need to remind yourself of that any more times?”
the episode ends on a cliffhanger when phillip arrives to the party he refused to throw, spotting his girlfriend with another guy, and brooks at the center of the festivities. and of course, he looks mad.
phillip: “can someone tell me what the fuck everyone is doing in my room?”

ACCEPTANCES !
okay yall, here it is ! i seriously had such a hard time deciding between all of these apps because every single one of them was amazing to read and so wonderful. i wish i could accept everyone ! but seriously, i just want to thank you all for the hard work you’ve done, and for applying at all. i did not think in my wildest dreams that this group was going to get this many applications, but i’m so glad it did and i’m so inspired by all the people who went above and beyond in their applications. i literally loved every one that i got, and it was nearly impossible to choose for me. you all should feel proud of your work whether or not you’re accepted. again, thank you so so so much <3
below the cut are the list of acceptances, with my (slightly rambly) comments. accepted applicants will have 24 hours to send in their accounts. after that, i will be going through the remaining applicants for that spot before opening it for new applications ! as accounts are sent in i’ll be sending out the discord link. again, i love you all so much and thank you for bearing with me through this.
MUSE A: NAOMI AHN has been cast in the role of ZOEY LEE ( mun: zia ! )
zia, you are an amazing writer! when i read your bios for naomi and zoey, i was in AWE at not only your skills, but also the way that every piece of information added something important to understanding both of their characters. to me, they embody the drive and competitive spirit of muse a, but added super interesting twists on the characters. i’m excited to see where you take naomi and zoey, and i can’t wait to rp with you!
MUSE B: PALOMA VIDAL has been cast in the role of VALENTINA ROMERO ( mun: izzy ! )
izzy, all of the apps for muse b were amazing -- hands down the best group of apps for any muse, so this decision was super difficult. but for me, your app really stood out because you approached muse b in a different way. reading your biography for her, i felt like you really understood the real person behind the spotlight that seems to shine on muse b. and paloma? WOW. i absolutely love the character you’ve created, and every muse post, headcanon and edit proved that (those promo posters? AMAZING.) overall, you did a fantastic job and i can’t wait to see where you go with paloma!
MUSE C: JUDE MADSEN-WELLS has been cast in the role of BROOKS BENNETT ( mun: b ! )
b, the minute i finished reading your application, i said “we have our muse c!” the bio was so well thought out (and i loved the format, i thought it was beyond cute!) not only do i love harry styles, but i love jude -- and i can’t wait to see how his personality influences his character and vice versa. when writing the bones of muse c, i got a little worried because it is the type of character that can get stereotypical or unbelievable without care or thought put into it, but every detail you brought with the muse posts really solidified to me that you understand muse c. there are no doubts in my mind you’ll play this character beautifully!
MUSE D: GABRIEL ALEXANDER has been cast in the role of PHILLIP LOGAN ( mun: mimi ! )
mimi, reading your application i felt super excited to see what you are going to do next with gabe, and that excitement kind of mirrors his character to me! you gave me just enough to keep me guessing, but within that you gave me a strongly defined character with the little things that make a person who they are. i also really loved your take on muse d and it was exactly what i imagined. amazing job!
MUSE F: WILLIAM LAWTON has been cast in the role of JAMES CONROY ( mun: amanda ! )
amanda, both(!!) of your apps were incredible. i’m heartbroken i can’t accept you for both muses honestly, because the effort that you put in was above and beyond, and i really went back and forth for a long time. however, one thing that was never in doubt was that you belong in this group, and i was ultimately so happy to accept your app for muse f! will is already such a quirky, dynamic character and his backstory was by FAR the most imaginative and original one i saw in any app. and your interpretation of muse f was spot-on! one thing that particularly struck me was the quote “james conroy is good at heart” because that’s so essential to his character, and it’s something that was missing from other apps. thank you so much for your dedication and i can’t wait to see you on the dash!
MUSE G: PAYTON JAMES HARLOW has been cast in the role of HARPER HAYES ( mun: ali ! )
ali, this app was absolutely the most fun to read because it was so incredibly detailed and thought out. i know you said i didn’t have to read everything but i totally wanted even more! with the timelines and the family background included, i literally felt like i was reading not only about payton but about her entire universe and that made me scream because i was so excited!! what absolutely clinched your application for me was your interpretation of muse g because it was just so? right? gahhh i’m rambling but i’m so happy with this application and so excited to rp with you!
MUSE H: HARVEY STRATHMORE has been cast in the role of MATTI JAMES ( mun: riley ! )
riley, the work that you put into this app is astounding to me! everything about harvey shines off the page, and all the details you added made him feel living and breathing. he’s such a unique character and i’m really looking forward to seeing where you decide to take him! i especially loved the edits you provided as i thought they were super creative. now muse h is my baby of all the muses, and so i was really worried i wasn’t going to find anyone who i thought could strike the right balance with him. but your app literally embodied how i feel about muse h, like i had to check i didn’t write it myself. it was incredible! congratulations and i’m excited to write with you!
MUSE I: YANG JAEBIN has been cast in the role of FLETCHER PARK ( mun: sarah ! )
sarah, i really enjoyed your app and your interpretation of muse i! i think it’s really perfect and i love the symbiosis that jaebin and fletcher have. looking at your pinterest board really solidified for me that you had a strong grasp on both your muse and the character they play, and i can’t wait to see what you do with both of them! congratulations :-)
MUSE J: HONOR CLARKE-MONTGOMERY has been cast in the role of CASSIE HWANG ( mun: victoria ! )
this was definitely the hardest decision i had to make tonight, because all the apps were absolutely fantastic. i loved reading every single character you all came up with -- honor is no exception. with her incredibly detailed backstory, stats, and muse posts, i was in awe of how well you portrayed her. but victoria, your interpretation of muse j was just so perfect! it wasn’t exactly the way i’d pictured her when i had first imagined the skeletons, but now that i’ve read your app i literally can’t picture her any other way. you understood her in a way that the other apps (and even me!!) didn’t. and cassie’s deeper similarities with honor... chef’s kiss! i’m so ecstatic that you’ve applied and i can’t wait to see what you do with honor.
MUSE K: KAIA BURKE has been cast in the role of LARA LAMBE ( mun: v ! )
v, i fell in love with kaia and lara while reading your app, and that’s how i knew it had to be you! you really understood the charismatic energy of muse k and brought it to the forefront. i absolutely loved the muse blog you created! reading her backstory was awesome, but then looking at the magazine edits you created? the timeline of all her films? the awards she’s received? oh my gosh, it was amazing. thank you for bringing this vision to life so perfectly!
MUSE L: ATLAS GREENE has been cast in the role of XAVIER HASTINGS ( mun: deven ! )
deven, i was totally blown away by this app! muse l was definitely one of the skeletons that was most mysterious to me and i was expecting to see a lot of different interpretations. i absolutely LOVED yours (especially all your muse posts! so perfect), and i think in your hands muse l has so much potential. and atlas!! i love him as a character, he’s completely different from any other app i received and i’m so excited to see where you take him. but even further than that i can clearly see all the blood, sweat, and tears you put into him, and it paid off. i’m so excited to see you on the dash!
