School Auditorium: MSND rehearsal (4-7 PM FHT)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

There are snacks and assorted beverages on a table to the side, and the house lights are up.

The stage lighting is still a little beyond Rory, so the simple overhead fluorescents will have to do for the day.

And by the door, there's a sign-in sheet.

Actors? Your stage awaits.

ACT III

...

SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Titania (obviously), the play people, Titania's fairies and Puck are all in this scene.

Begin with Bottom's line and Titania out cold, and we'll go from there.

"I love how every scene I'm in basically starts with, "Is everybody here," Xander said with a snicker. "Just in case we forget who the characters are."

He coughed, and read off the script, "Are we all met?"

Lana nods absently as she works on highlighting the words to her new part. "By'r lakin, a parlous fear," she mutters as she highlights.

"Wake me up when I'm, you know, awakened." Parker draped herself over a couple chairs and put the script over her face. "This is so damn annoying."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Getting to sleep onstage?" Xander asked. "Ooh, dire."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Waking up to love an ass. Gah. And Oberon never pays for it. Titania should have disenchanted Bottom and kept him as a love-slave," Parker grumbled, then yawned. "I sleep, I dream, I... lie down and pretend to think of England. And await my cue."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

Hey, Lee totally pays! In cash!

"Hey, my ass is completely love-worthy." Xander did that goofy neck-craney thing you only do when you're looking at your own ass and don't realize how totally goofy you in fact appear. "Though I'm not sure how I like the slave part. Does it involve Titania wearing leather?"

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's smirk at the neck-craning was hidden behind the script for a second, then right out in the open as he asked about the leather. "The words 'goth' and 'gossamer' were tossed around. That dominatrix enough for you, slave? Although, if Gremlin Baby Jesus is around, I'm sure the leather would be a good precaution," she said idly.

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

"I dunno. Gossamer kind of sounds like somebody who's hopefully not me is likely to be running around yelling 'Where the HELL is my chiffon?'"

Xander frowned at the mention of Gremlin Baby Jesus. "What is this thing about the gremlin, anyway? Did somebody stick the one from teh Christmas pageant in a box or something? I thought all the gremlins got EX-TERM-IN-ATED."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Better not be." Parker bit her lower lip in amusement. "I think you guys might be dressed up as hippies. How are you with bell-bottoms and tie-dye?"

She made a face. "I have no idea how they found the thing, but I'm getting it a muzzle. The last thing I need is to pull a Cally on-stage and suddenly think I can fly, thanks so much."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander pulled a face himself. "Tie-dye's ok; bell-bottoms not so much unless one is actually a bell. Which I am not, despite the thing about you are what you eat combined with my impressive rate of ding-dong consumption."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"We could always put *you* in leather. And a chain." Parker grinned. "They do lead him away you know, maybe by a leash?" She cocked her head, studying him. "And by the way, what's with the 'I've-been-roughed-up-in-an-alley' look? It's cute, but ouchie."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander could possibly be forgiven for a momentary lapse into silence as he tried to picture, and then tried not to picture, then tried to picture, then tried not to picture, then decided he really hoped it would be ok to bribe the mallet-man living in the bump on his skull with alcohol soon.

"Um? Oh, ouchie. Crazy evil robot attack."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Of course it was." Parker shook her head. "I heard on the radio. Are you mostly okay? I hope?" Her smile widened. "You don't have a problem with me climbing around on you?"

Sometimes, you make your own fun.

Lee pays Cash!

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Not unless you're planning on climbing around on my face," Xander answered, pointing to his scratches.

Sometimes you're unaware of other people's fun, and sometimes you're not. Sometimes you stifle a smirk and don't let on which is which.

"Or my finger," he added, holding up a bandaged little finger. "Other than that, I'll live."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker is rarely unaware of other people's fun, though.

"Definitely a dog collar. With choke chain." She smiled sweetly. "Glad to hear you're okay, though. How's that TV-mind-control working out for you? 'Freaked out'anyone lately?"

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander stuck his tongue out at her. "I made robots explode by tuning them in to a Rob Thomas video. I win."

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker chortled. "You completely do. Just remember who's left lying in the meadow at the end of this play." She looked considering. "Unless you want to join the revolution, and stay with Titania?"

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[soldtoarmenians]

"I don't know -- do I still get my head out of my ass by the end of the show if I choose what's behind Door Number 2?"

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Of course! We can't have jackass courtiers! We only take the best and brightest as Our minions!" Parker laid back on the chairs again, and crossed her legs, putting her hands behind her head. "You can join Helena in taking out Oberon's extra henchmen, and returning Oberon to Us in a nice collar for the injury he did Our person. Works for you?"

Re: SCENE I. The wood. TITANIA lying asleep.

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Shep hops up on the stage prepared to tell everyone that they have to leave the killing out. damn

SCENE II. Another part of the wood.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Oberon, Puck, Hermia, Demetrius, Lysander,and Helena are all in this scene.

Take it from the Puck/Oberon at the start of the scene if possible.

Re: SCENE II. Another part of the wood.

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

"I wonder if Titania be awaked; then, what it was that next came in her eye, which she must dote on in extremity," he reads from the script and then look at Zero. "And you enter... HOW NOW, MAD SPIRIT?!" And he snorts with laughter.

I'm running out of cute things to say in these starter comments. I might begin singing again.
