School Auditorium: Auditions, beginning Noonish.

[stickittotheme.livejournal.com]

The lights are up up on the stage, and Dewey sits in the middle of the center aisle of seats, a notebook and pen in hand, and his iPod at the ready in case there are any lulls in auditions.

Yes, that is seriously how low-key Dewey has set up auditions. Get up on stage and do your monologue and sing your song, and you shall be properly auditioned.

Hastily buttoning his shirt, 'Xander' walked on to the stage. He stared at the audience. "Um. I'm going to read a bit from Oedipus Rex. Yeah. Ahem."

'Xander' held his hand out (resembling a certain Danish prince), and began;

"Sirrah, what mak'st thou here? Dost thou presume
To approach my doors, thou brazen-faced rogue,
My murderer and the filcher of my crown?
Come, answer this, didst thou detect in me
Some touch of cowardice or witlessness,
That made thee undertake this enterprise?
I seemed forsooth too simple to perceive
The serpent stealing on me in the dark,
Or else too weak to scotch it when I saw.
This thou art witless seeking to possess
Without a following or friends the crown,
A prize that followers and wealth must win."

'Xander' gave the audience (that is, Dewey) an uncertain look as he ended it. He wasn't sure if that had been horrible enough. Oh well, this would certainly do it...

"Okay, now I'm going to sing a song I've made especially for today. It's called Angel's Lament (http://s36.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=06ODOC3Q1ZPLU0VW3W367PON4P) and is about one of my best friends. I hope you enjoy!"

He took a deep breath, and started singing.

"I'm really unsure...if I'm a vampire
Before I take a drink...I wonder should I be biting her
When you kill my friends out in the pale moon light
I wonder, am I a creature of the night

How'm I gonna eat, when the sun rises this morning
How'm I gonna eat, when your blood's sucked dry
How'm I gonna eat, when my teeth grow long and pointy
Are rats all I'll need when I'm hungary, how'm I gonna eat.

Where you used to stab all the vampires backs
...They'd disappear into ash
A fetish that I can't ignore
...Like wood stakes in your dresser drawers.
And the hours that you spend working out and kick boxing
Make me wish that...we were necking

How'm I gonna eat, when the sun rises this morning
How'm I gonna eat, when your blood's sucked dry
How'm I gonna eat, when my teeth grow long and pointy
Are rats all I'll need when I'm hungary, how'm I gonna eat."

"Interesting choice of song, Xander-Man." Dewey nods. "You definitely got some talent. I see you going far."

'Xander' beamed. "Thank you! I'm very excited about getting this opportunity to, uh, show off my skills. I really love performing," he added. "It's a calling."

*Somewhere else in the school, Hamlet feels a prickle in the back of his neck, as though some coffee-loving mutant wearing the body of a closeted sidekick were making fun of his posing. Hmm, how odd.*
