plot where muse a is a young writer who is struggling with adequately capturing emotions and feelings due to her never having been in any sort of relationship. she’s trying to create a modern-day love tale for her two characters, but all her ideas come out as unoriginal and inauthentic. she has daydreamed, sure, but something about her prose comes across as insincere. it isn’t raw enough, it doesn’t draw from real experience. she tells muse b this drunkenly at a bar one night, and he makes a wild proposal. they form an agreement that he will guide her in the next few weeks, written as her romantic interest, contriving dozens of different types of meet-cutes and date scenarios (and maybe a dramatic savior scene with a little bit of danger). these two goofs go around the city fabricating interactions like improv students, all the while muse a is learning a lot (and pausing to interject dialogue and say “—-and then he should toss the coin in!”). muse b, however, might have become convinced somewhere between the theatre hand-holding (replete with witty banter) and the feigned we surivived sex after a mugging.
