fandomhigh | A/V Technical Theatre Club Meeting: OPEN MIC NIGHT

The setup isn't fancy. The stage curtains are closed. There's a single microphone set up on the stage apron and a single spotlight trained on the curtain just behind it. At the back of the theatre are tables of refreshments: carafes of coffee and cocoa and mulled cider and hot water - and the tea bags and sugar and cream and lemon to go with, platters of cookies and brownies and meringues, bowls of chips and pretzels and candy, baskets of fruit. On the doors to the theatre are a pair of signs: a simple sign-up sheet for people who want to take part in the event and a large and colorful sign advertising its existance. There are a bunch more of these posted all around the school. Scooter stands just inside the door, waiting to greet people as they show up.

[OOC: This post will be open for play for at least the next 24 hours, even if it only covers four hours of Wednesday evening. Have fun, ok?]

You know I could cry
If I broke the barriers in my mind and eyes.

But All I’m doing is lying and lying and
Just shut up and lie down
Hypocrite,
I must be schizophrenic.
I was talking to myself.

Scream into your own ears
Because no one hears
You don’t even hear
And it’s your throat that’s rupturing!

I’m screaming at my own soul
But it won’t listen.

My mind and my body are pulling apart
And I’m floating on smog
In an industrial wasteland.

Dear self,
I love and I loathe you and I’m satisfied/satiated/ but not emancipated, you Fool.

I kept chewing gum and just ended up with cavities.
And since I can’t speak, no one listened to me.
