School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Before the assembly, The Tick used the same mysterious process that chooses students for the detention lottery for another purpose.

He had written a play. Destiny told him that all the world was a stage and he was but a player, meaning that he was playing the part of someone that got people to play parts that he created. It was very meta.

Anyway, the curtains opened to start the assembly. It was time for The Tick's first play: A Time for Bagpipes.

[OOC: Cast, please handwave getting roped into this as a result of the announcements this morning. It may be a good idea to look at the plottery post to see what I told different people just so you can be better prepared.

Again, I'm very sorry about the last minuteness and the general WTFery of this. Feel free to go nuts, though. This is a play by The Tick that you had at best a couple hours to look over. Things need not make sense have fun. And thank you for volunteering and attempting to make this work!

Oh, and people in the later acts, don't feel obliged to wait for people in earlier acts. Jump in whenever.]

In case you want to freak out to each other. You do have scripts and costumes. Neither of those really has to make sense.

John was there. In costume. It was very dusty, and the sneezing wasn't theatrical.

Naomi was trying hard not to freak out about this. She wasn't really succeeding.

"Naomers! Hey, how's it going?" Yes. He's wearing a monkey suit.

Naomi stared and blinked, "um...I'm okay," she managed to say.

He grinned and started picking fake nits out of her hair. "Just okay?"

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

"Um...yes?"

Seely was there in his frog troll costume.

"Yo, dude. Nice costume!"

Peter stared at his notes and tried not to boggle too much.

Annette showed up and started going through the costumes. She picked a pretty long flowing gown that amusingly fit her perfectly.

Grabbing her script, she started to read it. "Monkeypox? Crap."

"Hey! Annette! How's it going?" He sneezed.

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hey, John. Uh, you sick for real?"

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"No, just this suit's dusty." He sneezed again.

"Ah, it's uh, funny looking." and makes mun think of that song - You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. Bwahhh.

"Farmer John!" John pumped a fist. "That gives me an opportunity to use my Southern accent!"

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

"Dad!" Dawn looked up at John expectantly, "Can I have a pony?"

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"We can't afford no pony, missy," John said, enacting his Southern twang.

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn tried not to be mesmerized by the badness that was the twang, "Why not? You said that if I was good, I could have a pony." She sniffled, "Did you lie to me?"

Katara bounced around trying to find an appropriate "farmer's wife" costumer. Strangely enough it all was in shades of blue.

Dean read over the notes he was given with a distinct lack of enthusiasm, which hit even new lows when he went and found his costume -- an exact replica of the gown Annette was wearing just in a bigger size.

"Oh hell no," he muttered as he looked at said garment with something akin to horror. He hadn't worn a dress even when he had been a girl so it seemed distinctly unfair to be forced into one now.

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

Dawn cracked up, but she was luckier than Dean--if you could call a pair of overalls four sizes too long, a pair of very artistically dirty boots and a curly blonde wig lucky. "Aw, c'mon. You'll be cute."

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Cute's not the word I'd choose."

Re: Before the Assembly [Cast backstage]

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Artistically accurate?"

King! (And not a chicken!) Awesome! Sokka scrambled around, looking for an appropriately ostentatious costume.
