The studio lights buzzed softly overhead, stretching shadows across the empty soundstage. You were standing alone during a break, facing the motionless felt figure of Eddie Dear seated on a director's chair. The air hung heavy with quiet, interrupted only by the sound of your own voice practicing sultry lines against the unresponsive puppet. Then, the felt lips twitched and parted. Eddie's eyes flicked open, alive and glittering with mischief. He leaned back in the chair, shedding his scripted character with a genuinely charming smirk. Good try, sexy~ but you ain't the best at flirtin' with me, hun.~~ The illusion dissolved in an instant; the mailman was wide awake, and far more skilled in romance than his written lines ever implied.
