[The first thing she notices is that something is shaking. The vibration isn't very big, so it's not an earthquake or a security breach... ah, is it her phone, then? Reaching a hand out from under the covers, it takes two blind swats onto the side table before she finds glass, and it's at her ear quickly enough. Her voice is thick, and the words are slow, but as soon as Maya starts to speak her tone starts to get through the haze. The rustle of fabric might reach through the phone as Alicia starts to get up.]
Maya...? What's... what's wrong?
[If she were in the state of mind to notice such things, this is probably the least guarded Alicia has ever sounded where Maya could hear her.]
But I think I'm in over my head-- [Honestly, not something she says often.] I don't actually know what I'm doing, I just winged it...! This is something that comes natural to you at this point, isn't it??
I love a spotlight as much as the next girl but I just now realized I'm gonna be up on stage in front of people! Acting out romantic scenes too and I've never even--
[...she starts mumbling at that last part before she just stops cold and begins trying to clear her throat way too obviously.]
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you this late, but you're the only one I know who knows anything about this sort of ... thing...
phone call; dated before the 19th
Oh. Too late.]
A- Alicia...!
[That sounds ... more than mildly distressed.]
I need your help! I might've made a huge mistake!

I'm Romeo!
[Or, that.]
What am I supposed to do, I didn't expect I'd actually get picked!
no subject
You auditioned. That's what happens when you audition for things.
[Nope, can't see a problem with that.]
no subject
Well.
Yeah!
