mareliberum"Attempt #218 - This is your soulmate, Tahani."
Tahani slinks into the doorway on cue, striking the most alluring and flattering pose she can think of in the moment. This is her first impression and the first time she's meeting her soulmate, Eleanor, after all. She'd heard a bit about the woman during she and Michael's stroll over to Eleanor's .. very .. cozy, colorful dwelling in the Good Place, and her life had been quite impressive from the sounds of it. Not as impressive as her own (sixty BILLION dollars for charity! (Not that she kept track, of course)), but full of .. good and selfless things.
So she tries to make as good a first impression as she can manage while still appearing casually disinterested. She mustn't come across as a try-hard.
It reminds her of that time that the paparazzi were stalking about outside of her best friend Beyonce's post-Grammy party, attempting to catch sight ofKamilah celebrities and other people worth mentioning in their tabloids. They were trying to get unattractive photos of guests as they left, shooting from lower angles to give them double-chins, calling out their names and snapping a photo as soon as the person turned around, that sort of dull behavior. They kept getting frustrated by how ethereal and attractive all of her supposed candids were, some going so far as to even hang up their hats and give her their cameras, knowing they'd never take a photo as good as the ones they'd taken of her.
Clearing her throat lightly to draw Eleanor's attention to her, she allows a graceful smile to cross her face and, with a flick of her head to make her long, chestnut hair sparkle in the sunlight, offers a simple:
"Hello, Eleanor."
