Basic Acting, final class

The Basic Acting classroom had been transformed since the last time the students had been there. Instead of a mostly blank classroom for varying improvised scenes, it was decked out to the nines to look like the lobby of a posh hotel. Curtains hung from the walls in gold and red, gilded mirrors decked out every wall, and the desks had all been replaced with couches and chaise lounges. The teachers' desk had become a reception desk, complete with a guest book and signs for various credit cards.

Daisy herself was lying back on one of the couches, a kitchen knife sticking realistically (and bloodily) out of her chest as she relaxed, reading a book of plays.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the chalk board, which now had the following written on it:

Welcome to Hotel Adair!

It's the morning after a murder in a remote hotel. Overnight, someone
murdered the hotel manager with a knife. There was a large storm
which took out the local roads and the power, so no one was able to
come in or leave since the evening before the murder occurred. All
the people in the hotel have gathered together with the detective,
who has to ask the witnesses questions to find out who the murderer is.

Your detective is John Crichton. Please do as he asks.

Continental breakfast is complimentary!


Sure enough, a spread of brunch finery, complete with lox, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, and varying bread-y goods from J,GOB was laid out on a table at the back of the room, along with coffee, tea, and orange juice.

[ooc: you should all have received emails with your role for this large improv scene today. If you did not, please contact me so I can assign you one. This post is open until Saturday for play to accommodate for multiple time zones. Have at ye, and have fun!]

John signs in and gives himself the hard nosed detective name of Detective Joe Burns.

Yeah, that sounded tough.
chasingangela: (classwork)

Does the part about the dead manager always hitting on poor Thomasina still apply with Delia?
chasingangela: (angela is annoyed)

Angela stands behind the reception desk, looking vaguely annoyed.

It's in-character. Really.

John sauntered over to ask the receptionist a question.

"Hey there," he said and tipped his pretend fedora. "Name and occupation?"
chasingangela: (dreams)

"Thomasina Simmons," Angela answered, wondering why she picked such a long first name. "I'm the clerk here."

John wrote the information down. "How long have you been a clerk here?"

Jake signs in in block letters as six year old Josh Jacobs. His imagination did not cover making up names.

Coffee is totally an appropriate drink for a six-year old, Jake decided, and went to grab a mug before starting to follow the detective around and being 'helpful'.

"-I- think it was the snowman," announced Jake. er. Josh.

"Thomasina" shrugged. "I guess it'll be two years in March. I can't believe I've lasted this long."

John looked behind him at the 'young' boy. "Hello there, little guy."

Another nod. 'Joe' looked at his notes. "Did you and the hotel manager get along well?"
chasingangela: (dangerous beauty)

"Delia?" Thomasina asked. "I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but ... yeah. We were fine. Mostly. I mean, given she was my boss and everything."

"'Offee," said 'Josh' politely, before launching into his pet theory number #1. "I think the 'offee-lady did it, because this 'offee is not good at all." Of course, he had no idea what 'it' actually was.

Re: Detective! Question your witnesses!

Joe nodded again. "You have reasons to speak ill of the dead?"
chasingangela: (hands in hair)

"No!" Thomasina said. "Just .. okay, she was kind of gay?" Angela broke character to add "Not that I have a problem with that."

"Anyhow, she was always sort of hitting on me, and when she figured out I wasn't interested, she started talking to me like I was six. It was really annoying."
