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.

"I'm really nervous. I'm freaked out that I'm going forget all my lines or fall over my own feet or get my hair tangled up in something." He pulled on his newly extra springy curls and watched as it bounced towards the ceiling.

Nadia also watched it bounce. "Wow." She made a mental note not to get too close to Blair during the rehearsal, lest she get tangled up in it.

That would suck.

"I'm sure you'll be fine."

Blair shrugged. "It just started last night, it's very weird. I went to the clinic in town and apparently it might be related to other medical issues."

"Thanks, I'm sure you'll do fine too. And Rory said the only kissing is fake stage kissing, so that's a relief because I like kissing you too much..." Blair's face turned bright red and he stuttered. "I-I-I-I like missing things too much. Missing!"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Shut up, Blair, shut up, shut up shutupshutup!

"Oh." Nadia's smile grew the tiniest bit strained. "Good."

She thought of something. "Your hair thing might be the same as Pip's glitter thing and Walter's spaghetti thing. You should talk to Bridge."

"Have they taken their stool sample to the doctor yet?"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Stool sample?!

He wanted them to give bits of seats?

"I don't think so,"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That's not what Bridge is looking for, is it? Because he's my friend and all but I don't think we're that close."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

"Bridge is just reading people's auras."

What was so personal about a stool? Was it just because you sat on it?

Americans were werid.

"Oh" Blair sighed and grinned. "That's...like way better, man. Maybe I will go see him!"

"You aren't experiencing anything weird, are you?"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

There was no way in hell Nadia was telling Blair she could fart helium.

"No. No, I'm not."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That's good. I'd be sad if you had something weird or scary happening to you." He tugged on another curl and stretched it down to his waist and absently tied it into a knot.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia stared in stunned fascination at the hair antics.

*fffrrrt*

Oh god, no. She smiled silently, hoping Blair wouldn't notice.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair noticed but decided to be a gentleman and focus on other things. ^{"So do you think we'll have to wear tights?"} He stopped and gulped. ^{"Uh, what? Is that my voice?"}

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged.

And looked about for an escape route.

She really hoped Bridge figured out what was causing all this soon.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

^"Huh." Blair shrugged and started singing. ^{"I'm a little teapot, short and stout, here is my handle, here is my..."} With a cough, he went back to his regular voice. "Spout!"

"Aww, man. I didn't even get to the pouring out part!"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

"^{I'm sure}" Nadia cleared her throat. "I'm sure you'll get another chance."

There has to be another change of subject around here, somewhere. . . .

"Have you ever acted before?"

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Was that...um...you?" Blair blushed and looked up at the ceiling of the stage.

"Not really, nope."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

"Was what me?" asked Nadia innocently. "I'm sure you'll do fine."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That whole..." Blair wondered if maybe the hair thing was hurting his brain. "Um, never mind."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked at Blair with mock concern. "Okay,"

Yes! Got away with it!

Okay, there was a teeny bit of guilt over making Blair think he was imagining things . . . but that would soon fade, she was sure.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair nodded and sat on the edge of the stage, muttering quietly and trying to get his voice all high again.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

Aaaaaaaany minute now the guilt would fade.

Didn't she lecture him for not being honest?

Aw, crap.

She went over and sat next to him.

"Yeah," she said. "It was me."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"The squeaky voice thing?" Blair looked up hopefully.

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[nadiathesaint]

. . .

"Yes."

Re: SCENE I. Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair thought for a minute. "Did it have anything to do with..." He waved his hands and bounced which in freshman sign language meant 'thing which we can't say outloud because it will lead to embarrasement and giggles'.
