Tallia trot as quietly as she could around the back of the stage. Her crystal blue eyes glanced around for her target, being the one and only Trixie of course. Tallia's coat was a minty green color, and her mane and tail wavy and long, dual-colored dirty yellow and robin blue. Her cutie mark was three crescent shapes all slightly larger than the other, stacked on top of one another, with small runes on the sides of the three crescents.

Trixie was a busy mare. Or at least she said she was and in part that was true. She was always on the move, making new stories, Learning a new spell or experimenting with old ones. She was always trying to better her show after the brutal beating her reputation took a few years back.

While usually Trixie would already be packing up and moving on to her next stop…she didn’t have one. She’d planned on heading to the next town over next but they’d sent a messenger to her yesterday, saying they’d rather she not perform and rejecting her permit request.

Right now Trixie just sat in the section of her cart that was usually  her bedroom, but when the stage portion of her wagon was extended it simply became the backroom, blocked off by a thick curtain. She simply sat there, glancing through old posters of her old shows in an old album. All old. All in the past.

Tallia walked up to the curtain, and took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself, she created a mirror with magic to make sure her mane was in order before collapsing the spell, taking another deep breath, and raising her hoof up to knock on the archway. She hesitated, then started trotting in circles, talking to herself.

“Come on Tallia, this is easy, you’ve practiced a hundred times, there’s no reason why you can’t do it for realsies.” Was one of several self-motivational sentences she told herself. She too another deep breath, held it for a few seconds, then blew it out as she knocked on the wooden arch to signal her presence, as if the pacing, talking to herself, and deep breaths hadn’t done that already.

Inside stood Trixie, staring at herself in the mirror. While many would think it was due simply to the fact that she was admittedly a little vain but the truth was darker than that. She looked to make sure that her eyes were their usual lavender. Not that horrid red. That horrid red that brought her to take over a town and abuse it’s inhabitants.

Her ear perked back as she heard a knock at the entrance. it was nice to know some ponies still had enough courtesy to knock. She looked herself once more in the mirror before sighing and shaking her head.

She looked around and as her eyes landed upon her cape, she grabbed it and threw it on with a flourish and took a seat, pushing a slightly plastic smile upon her face “You may enter the Great and Powerful Trixie’s personal Domain” She said, ensuring that her voice would portray her usual confidence

Talia’s brain counted the milliseconds leading up to Trixie’s invitation, making her think the space of time was actually much longer than it really was. In fact, she nearly missed it because her brain was so active. Her breathing sped up ever so slightly as she hesitated at the entryway, again longer for her than for anyone else. Finally though, she stepped inside, her excited reverence clear in her eyes. She opened her mouth to introduce herself to her, but her mind was a blank. She had completely forgotten her own Name That very moment, standing with her mouth open, trying to form a sentence that could possibly pass for an introduction.
