muse name (fc name): layla stern (zoey deutch)
connection + type (romantic, platonic, antagonistic, professional, etc): platonic
age range: early 30s
fc suggestions: up to player, (can be a current mun and we retroactively plot)
wanted connection details: This is Layla’s platonic soulmate. Her ride or die, the Steve to her Robin, the ham to her green eggs. This is someone they met in Jasper and they just clicked. Like siblings but closer, and definitely weirder. They accept each other and help each other, sometimes calling each other out and sometimes egging them on. They are not romantically interested in each other at all, despite probably seeing each other naked. They are the best friend that Layla always longed for when she was lonely in middle school, and now that they found each other, they’re like bonded cats that you have to adopt together.

New Orleans Mardi Gras, 1930s. A group of young men, some in pirate costumes, others in the fashion of the era. One of the “pirates” drinks from a bottle while they pose for the photographer.
Notes: A portion of the marquee of a cinema is visible in the background, on which can be read “CONSTANCE CUMMINGS 7 SINNERS”. This no doubt refers to the UK release version of the film “Seven Sinners”, which starred Constance Cummings (as opposed to the 1940 US remake). Per IMDB it debuted in the US in August 1936, which suggests this photo would date to Mardi Gras 1937.
