Fandom High Holiday Pageant 2006, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Once everyone was seated, The Tick walked out onto the stage wearing a keen tux. He was ready to celebrate the holidays in style.

"Welcome, chums, to the 2006 Fandom High Holiday Pageant! This year, we're looking to make the pageant as broad as possible, covering several different holidays with several different methods of educating us all with fun! It's Funducation, not to be confused with Funded Education!"

"On the Holiday Tree of Funducation, information is the presents, and you are the children gathered around, hoping for the Hanukkah Wii of Information, or the X-Mas-Box of Knowledge! Our volunteers are the ornaments, making sure the Tree is shiny and festive! The participating classes are the lights that illuminate with organization and color! And I," Tick said, grinning broadly, "am a jolly man in a blue suit! I am not just your Master of Ceremonies tonight, I am also your Santa of Ceremonies! So please allow me to welcome you to this year's Tree of Funducation, the Holiday Pageant!"

[OOC: Please wait for and then follow the OCD. There is a thread for each performance, and then a Performance and Audience sub-thread for each. Please use the subthreads. Pretty self explanatory. Everyone should know what they're doing and which thread they're doing it in, hopefully. If, for some reason, we have threads that are not pinged into as of really late Friday night, I may get creative and randomly recruit people at the last minute if it doesn't Joss them just to make sure the pageant stands as being complete.

I'd like to say thank you in advance to all of my volunteers and I can't wait to see what you put together!]

Christmas Nativity Scene

"As Christmas is generally the anchor of the holiday season, we will set dock by dropping the anchor off the bat as we formally start our festivities with a special Christmas tradition, the Nativity Scene! Performing this scene for us this afternoon is Jamie Madrox! Jamie, pull this ship into port!"

The curtain opens on a small manger where Mary & Joseph are seated surrounded by various farm animals.

Joseph!Jamie: Oh my darling Mary! We are truly blessed.
Mary!Jamie: Like hell we are. I told you to book with Expedia. All I know is I wanted to go to Vegas but noooooooo....
Joseph!Jamie: Dude! Will you stay in character?
Mary!Jamie: I just gave birth in a barn. Quite frankly I think the virgin Mary has a right to be a little cranky.
(Jamie's head pokes out from the hay in the feed trough)
BabyJesus!Jamie: Okay this bit about sleeping on hay? It's crap. This stuff is itchy.
Joseph!Jamie: Shh! You're supposed to be a baby.
BabyJesus!Jamie: Well then "Goo". And tell that sheep to stop sticking his head in here.
Sheep!Jamie: Moo.
Mary!Jamie: You're a sheep. You're supposed to say "Baa".
Sheep!Jamie: (defiantly) Moo.
(A group of Jamie!Shepherds appear also with more Jamie!sheep.)
Joseph!Jamie: Look my virginal love! Shepherds!
Mary!Jamie: (Bored) Woo. Shepherds.
Shepherd!Jamie: So is this the place where our savior was born?
Mary!Jamie: If you mean "Save us some money by not making a reservation at the inn"? That'd be my husband there.
Joseph!Jamie: Stay in character.
Mary!Jamie: Bite me.
Sheep!Jamie: Moo.
OtherSheep!Jamie: Moo!
Shepherd!Jamie: It's Baa!
AllSheep!Jamie: MOO!
Joseph: That's what the cow is supposed to say!
Cow!Jamie: (Who is in the back reading a Maxim magazine) Whatever.
Joseph!Jamie: (sighs in frustration) Oh shepherds! What brought you here?
Shepherd!Jamie: An angel appeared to us in the fields and told us not to be afraid!
Mary!Jamie: Which angel? The one that has the giant forehead or the one who teaches about prophecies?
Joseph!Jamie: Character!
Mary!Jamie: Bite me!
BabyJesus!Jamie: Guys? I think I'm getting a rash from this hay.
Mary!Jamie: Shut up and look cute.
Sheep!Jamie: Moo.
Joseph!Jamie: Look! Three wise men approach!
Mary!Jamie: How can you tell that they're wise men? You haven't even talked to them yet.
Joseph!Jamie: (groans) Well they just are! Ok?!
WiseMen!Jamie: We three kings of Orient are. Bearing gifts, we have travelled so far.
BabyJesus!Jamie: Gifts? Rockin. What you bring?
Joseph!Jamie: Stay in character!
BabyJesus!Jamie: Goo.
WiseMen!Jamie: We bring gold, frankincense, and Murray.
Jospeh!Jamie: Murray?
(Another Jamie walks out)
Murray!Jamie: Hi! I'm Murray! How you guys doing?
Joseph!Jamie: It's supposed to be Myrrh you idiots!
BabyJesus!Jamie: And what I really wanted was an XBox 360.
Mary!Jamie: And if you guys have room reservations somewhere else I'll gladly take that.
Joseph!Jamie: That's it! From now on everyone has to stick to the script! No more out of character comments. DO YOU HEAR ME?!
(A long pause before...)
Sheep!Jamie: Moo.
Joseph!Jamie: Oh that's it! You're going down sheep!
(A fist fight breaks out and at this time someone reasonably intelligent closes the curtain on the Nativity scene)
