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.]

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?"

"I didn't don't never ever forever lied," John said with a frown.

"Am I gonna have to find another dad?" Dawn asked.

"Why?" John looked at her. "Cuz I won't give you a smelly pony?"

"'cuz I only understand one word in five that you're saying?"

"Git yer ears checked," John told her.

"If my ears are broken, it's your fault for giving 'em to me," she argued, then stuck her tongue out.

"They're part your ma's!"

Dawn double checked the list to see who her "ma" was, "D'ya even know who my ma is?" Oh my god, the twang was contagious.

"Yeah, she's..." He really didn't know. "She's your ma"!

She cracked up. "Our family is so messed up."

"Messed up and steeped in love!"

"Apparently," she said, giggling as she leafed through the script. "Sixteen of us?"

"Sixteen of us," John confirmed. "There's a lot of love going around, apparently."

"It's not every script that implies incest," Dawn said, "so this will be a very special production."
