fandomhigh | School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

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.]

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

"Um...yes?"

He makes goofy monkey noises at her. "Just okay?" He's in a monkey suit with ginormous ears. Acting like an ape. ....he couldn't be enjoying this.

"I'm slightly nervous," Naomi admitted, actually she was very nervous but she wasn't admitting that.

"Why're you nervous? It's not like you're wearing an ape suit. I mean, have you seen these ears?" he asked, cupping his hands behind those giant ears as if he was having problems hearing her.

"I haven't really acted in a play before," Naomi said and then she stared at her script, "I can't juggle!"

"So? I'm not really a monkey," he said, grinning like an idiot.

"Can you juggle one ball at a time? Or two?"

"Um...I don't know, I think I'm supposed to do it with more than one ball ~~not dirty~~."

"Well, grab a ball in each hand, and see what you can do with 'em ~~so not dirty~~. Might even be good at or start to like it"

"I guess I can try," Naomi continued to stare at the script.

"Just grab the balls! What's the worst that could happen ~~not dirty~~?" he asked.

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen,"

"I'd hope not. Else you'd have balls everywhere. I'm sure you'll handle 'em fine."
