Basic Acting, fourth period [9/19]

Daisy was sitting in her chair again, this time looking like she planned to stay there for awhile.

"Welcome back everybody. Plese remember that your choices for you monologue are due next week. If you haven't found one yet, I have several resources available here and in my office." She gestured to the books on a table near the door.

"Today we're going to pair up and work on some improvisational scenes, however. I've assigned your pairs, but feel free to rearrange yourselves if your partner isn't here, or if you finish early and get bored or something. Your only guideline is that each of you must represent an animal in your scene. Cat, dog, bearded dragon, seahorse, I don't care. As long as it isn't vegetable, mineral, or human. A few guidelines for improvisation: never contradict your scene partner. A good phrase to keep in mind is 'yes, and'. Agree with what they've done, and build on that. You also might want to avoid asking questions, or bringing up anything that's inappropriate for schools. I'll watch each of your scenes and let you know what, if anything, you're doing wrong."

Daisy then gracefully got to her feet to post the list of groups on the board before sitting back down and sipping her coffee.

Hamlet Dane and John Dorian
Briar Moss and Angela Chase
John Crichton and Agnes Nitt
Jake Gavin and Zero Hopeless-Savage
Sakura Kinomoto and the twins Hitachiin


[ooc: As Daisy said, if you have to rearrange because someone isn't available or what have you, you may. I've tried to group based on general availability, but I don't have information on that from everyone, so it might not have worked perfectly. The post will be open for slow-play through the end of the week (and into the weekend if you need to wrap things up with your partner). Handwaving is always allowed]

Sakura manages to keep most of the color from draining from her face at the fangs. "...motivation?" she echoes. What the hell would a cat and two bats need motivation for? "...bats look kind of like leathery birds. Cats chase birds?" She tilted her head.

They nod, jump on a nearby table and hand upside down, looking back at her. "Let's start!"

Sakura stares at them for a moment, an eyebrow raised, then lowers herself to sit on her knees. She folds her hands into fits to look somewhat like paws, and sits very straight-- like a cat.

They swing back and forth with their arms tightly across their chests. When they speak, it sounds eerie. "How nice, a little kitty. Perhaps she would be a yummy treat." They grin with their fangs showing, trying to be stereotypical vampire bats.

Somewhat coyly, Sakura raises one hand to her face and pretends to groom herself. "I could say the same for you," she said, letting her 'paw' hover in front of her face, tongue protruding just so from between her lips.

They both frown. "We doubt you can jump this high."

Sakura sets her paw down, and grins. "Oh? And how much would you bet on this?" She shifts, acting as if her 'tail' were coiling around her. She was strangely good at acting the part of a cat...

"You can eat him if you can." Hikaru grinned and was promtly smacked in the chest by Kaoru. "If our lives are at stake here, I think both would be best."

"I couldn't possibly seperate such precious comrades," Sakura drawled, insepcting her 'claws'. "So if I can get to you, I have your permission to eat you?" She glanced up, grinning.

They paused. "If you can get to us."
