Fionn:

So how is your new job?

Dotty:

It's great. Tiering but great. What about you? How is yours?

Fionn:

Much the same. I've met so many new people and they're great fun to be around. Honestly, despite being apart from a lot of them for most of the day it's still so awesome. I haven't known them long but I count them as close friends already. Have you made any new friends?

Dotty:

Not really. I have spoken to a few people, a few guys I have spoken to more than once but no longer than five minutes. It's a fun job and I don't mind being alone but it would be nice to talk to someone properly other than my dad.

Fionn:

That's not great. During the day if you have time and feel like you are looking quite alone or want someone to talk to, you can message me. Even random crap, when I can I will answer it I promise, you don't have to wait until late in the evening to message me. I can't imagine being in your position. Have you tried talking to these guys for longer?

Dotty:

Thanks, Fionn. I haven't tried because we are all working and it is quite stressful. I can try today. Thanks for the advice. I would text at other times but I wasn't sure if you'd reply and been as we have only really texted in the morning I guess I just did it then.

Fionn:

It's alright, it's partly my fault too. I'll message you first more XD

Dotty finished texting Fionn for a little while as she sat in one of the tents that were set up out of the way. She was asked by her father to help with making tea and coffee for the actors and extras as they would be in the sea filming again. More of the makeup team were instructed to be on the side ready and Dotty sighed in relief at the thought. She wasn't very good at makeup, Halloween makeup she wasn't bad at but professional, neat makeup not so much. She wasn't horrendous, just not professional so she was glad that her father had only asked her to fix a few peoples hair or their clothes.

She was sat behind a table in the tent on her own whilst the coffee and tea brewed. Fionn had to go so they said goodbye but he promised to text her when he could. It was a very cold day so many of the actors were wrapped up in big coats and Dotty herself had a thick jumper, thick leggings and boots on with a snood scarf around her neck. She played a few games on her phone and scrolled through Facebook deciding that instead of messaging Anna through facebook like she had been doing but to actually ask the girl to text her so that she could save her new number instead of risking it with Fionn's number again.

She glanced up when she heard voiced entering the tents, placing her phone in her pocket as they made their way to the table. "Is there any chance of a coffee please?" Asked one of them, he was blonde and hadn't been in any of the scenes shot yet, Dotty had a feeling that they would be shooting most of his later on.

Dotty nodded and poured some into a cup, "You know you guys can just help yourselves." She said to the rest of them that had formed a line. "I'm just here to make it ready for you all."

They all nodded and the blonde boy thanked her. "Thanks, but don't you normally stay with Chris?"

Dotty shrugged, "I just do as I am told and I was told to be in here today."

One of the other's spoke up, "So what is your actual job? Are you a makeup artist or something?"

"Nope, not a makeup artist. My job doesn't really have a title, I just do as I am told whether it be to sew up holes in costumes, clear up helmets, make coffee." Dotty replied, pouring more coffee into the brewer with hot water.

The Irish guy spoke up again, "Are you an intern?"

She shook her head, "No, I just do whatever. I know it's weird but I do. I'm Dorothy by the way, but you can call me Dotty."

"Barry and this is Tom, Tom, Jack, and Cillian."She smiled at the four who were sat at a table before retaking her seat behind the table and pulling out her phone. "Now we know why you seem to be everywhere."

Dotty laughed, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's just yesterday we saw you doing one thing, then something else, then another thing. You were all over the place!"Cillian explained running a hand through his hair, "I bet you're tired by the end of the day."

"It's probably why I do what I do, I am quite hyper and wide awake a lot so sleeping can be a bit of a struggle sometimes, doing a lot of things and making myself tired means I sleep. Aren't you bored just watching the others film whilst you still haven't filmed yet?"

Tom (H) shook his head, "When in good company it's hard to get bored, and watching the scenes being filmed is marvellous. Very funny when people mess up."

"That's why we can't wait for you to start filming, Tom!" The other Tom smirked but was flipped off jokingly. The two caught eyes and Tom (GC) raised his fist to his lips and blew like it was a dart. "HEAD DOWN BOY!" He yelled afterwards and Tom (H) obliged.

Dotty stared confused as she watched Tom Hardy look down and not look up, "Er?"

"If you look someone in the eyes they blow through their fist like a dart and you have to sit like that until someone touches your ear." Said Jack, "It's a game we like to play called Poison Dart."

"Does that mean if I look you in the eye I have to sit like that?"

"Duh, you are no exception missy." Pointed Barry.

Dotty raised her eyebrows, "Well I won't be looking into your eyes then will I?"The tent door flapped open and Harry, Fionn and Aneurin trudged in, soaking wet wrapped in towels and blankets. "Do either of you three want tea or coffee?"

"Coffee please." The three said simultaneously and Dotty nodded.

"Bloody everywhere," Harry whispered to the boys as he sat down. Fionn kindly flicked Tom (H)'s ear so he could sit back up as Barry explained what she had told them. The three nodded in understanding just as Dotty walked over with a tray and three coffees. The three guys thanked her and she replied with a smile before returning to where she was sitting. Loudly, Hedwig's Theme started playing in the tent and Dotty flushed red as she answered the phone, exiting the tent. Once alone Harry spoke up, "So she is a helper sort of thing?"

"I suppose. It's a weird job, isn't it? I didn't think that was a thing on films, did you lot?" Aneurin asked bringing the coffee to his lips. "This is good."

"I didn't either, but it's Chris Nolan, who knows?" Said Fionn. "And I agree this coffee is amazing."
