Opening the Library - Post Zombie Remix

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Methos stands in the middle of the main room of the library. The marble floor is covered with slightly soggy zombie bits. On the plus side, the flood washed away a lot of the burned zombies. On the whole... it looks like hell.

Methos shakes his head. "I'm getting too old for this."

*raises an eyebrow* Anyone is too old for this.

*hands him a sheet of paper* Want to sponsor the Drama Club?

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

*takes paper* I am dying to know how you made the logical jump from "icky zombie bits" to "drama club".

[janet_fraiser]

Who said there was a logical jump? I just wanted to avoid the icky zombie bits a while longer. This place is disgusting.

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

Right. Good plan. So what's this, again?

[janet_fraiser]

You're such a bright professor, Professor.

Drama Club. You know, get a bunch of teenagers together, put them in pseudoauthentic historical costumes, make them spout Shakespeare, preferably in something more animated than a monotone. It'll be fun.

Also, it will give me the chance to talk Jack O'Neill into auditioning so I can cast him as Bottom in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

*considers the headache to be gained from listening to teenagers mangle Shakespeare*

*considers the amount of beer that can be drunk to alieviate same*

Done. Let me know when and where you need me.

[janet_fraiser]

*points to flyer* Thursday night. Seven o'clock. We're going to meet--uh, somewhere in the dorms.

Look at it this way: You can drink beer while listening to the auditions. And someone might surprise you actually show some potential.

*grabs flyer back from him* I'm going to go and post these out and about. See you later!

*flashes a quick grin and runs out the library doors FAST*

I am so going to regret this....

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Jesus crap, I have no idea who that is but the sheer amount of jokes possible make me want someone else to get the part

[OOC: For someone who learned everything she knows about Shakespeare from Neil Gaiman, who/what is bottom?]

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Midsummer's Night's Dream is a play about the intersection of the fairy world with mortals. Bottom is a mortal who gets changed into an ass and then has the queen of Fairy bambozled enchanted into falling in love with him. Bottom always thinks very well of himself, as both a strolling player and as a donkey. So Janet wants to make an ass of Jack. Which isn't that hard.]

[OOC: Oh dude. That's wrong. I love it!]

[janet_fraiser]

Gosh, Jack, I think it fits you perfectly. ;)

Unless, of course, you want to hand over the videotape?

OOC: *snicker*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I think 'Bottom' fits Danny pretty perfectly myself.Don't kill me

T'cha, like I'm gonna do that. You can't make me do the play so Nyah!

[OOC: So mean.]

[janet_fraiser]

And yet, it's a student production. So no Daniel onstage. Why shouldn't I kill you?

We'll just have to see how things go.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Damn. Uhm. Because?

I don't think I like the sound of that.

[janet_fraiser]

I know. So sad, don't you think? He'd make a great Juliet. I'd probably suffer and die a few times for it, but he'd be just so damned pretty up there in a dress. *snickers* Not a good enough reason. Try again?

I didn't think you would.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

No way around it huh?Cause then who would you torture?

*Is afraid*

[janet_fraiser]

Probably not. I think the idea is for the students to do the work. And we already have a faculty advisor. You know, you are a whole lot of fun to torture. Good point.

*small, satisfied smile*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Not fair. See.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Oh dude. That's not right.

The best-known character, "Bottom", is transformed into an "ass" and becomes the "butt" of jokes. What could be "behind" this?]

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: He gets to make out with Titania, at least.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Who's Titania gonna be?]

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: I have no idea yet. Depends on who all tries out. Here's the list of signups.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: It wouldn't be IC for Jack to try out but this sounds like massive fun. Backmail? Bribery? Something?]

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: Totally not IC for him to try out. However, I have a plan. Mostly involving Kawalsky dragging his sorry ass in there for me, but there will also be blackmail involved too. *evil grin*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Awesome, cause this sounds like way much fun!]

[janet_fraiser]

OOC: That's why I set them up to go for a time when he'd be online normally. And I think he might have spare time. Some, anyway. *eg*

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Cool! Can't wait for the blackmail.]

[swerval_zero]

*Zero heads into Special Collections with a stack of books that need to be reshelved. Directly in front of her is a whole bookcase full of books on zombies. In English.*

Oh, NOW they show up!
